Chapter 904: A New Ancestral System
Xia Yunyi's recital arrived in the cabinet and caused a sensation.
Some ministers laughed and scolded on the spot: "This Xia Yunyi is usually a decent man and a gentleman, and he looks very honest, how can he do such a thing?" ”
Ask the Son of Heaven to marry, in the entire Ming Dynasty for nearly three hundred years, except for some nobles who were established at the beginning of the dynasty to do such things, few civil officials dare to do this.
However, after the cabinet sent the book to the Qianqing Palace, the next day it approved Hong'en, and all the ministers were dumbfounded.
How else can you do that?
Princess Zhaoren's marriage was unexpected by all the ministers of civil and military affairs.
Some people know that Your Majesty is going to completely change the process of choosing a son-in-law for Princess Daming in the past.
In the past, it was the sea that chose a son-in-law, but now it is a direct pick!
At the beginning, Princess Kunxing was also married, and it was the Son of Heaven who gave her marriage on the spot.
Now it's just a matter of writing to ask for marriage, which is a little better.
Some ministers also began to be eager to try, and they were ready to write and win prizes, and they targeted a few princesses of the clan who were waiting to be written, and maybe they could also ask a princess to go home......
However, more people are very sensible and know how easy it is to win such a prize.
Moreover, the two younger sisters of Emperor Tianwu are not married to high-ranking officials, but should be His Majesty, or the princess took a fancy to the concubine.
If you rashly ask for marriage, you may even commit a taboo.......
What's more, Emperor Tianwu's two younger sisters are married, and marrying other clan princesses can't be fooled by today's big golden dragon!
If you have to climb, you can only wait a few more years until the eldest princess is an adult......
Princess Zhaoren's marriage is being prepared, and Daming has also ushered in a new year and entered the tenth year of Tianwu.
On the first day of the first lunar month, Emperor Tianwu came to the Heavenly Palace to accept the congratulations of kings, nobles and ministers.
During the ups and downs of the 10-year pro-government, Zhu Cihong adopted a series of reform measures, effectively developed the people's livelihood in agriculture, commerce, science and technology, and etiquette, improved the people's living standards, and consolidated the stormy Ming Dynasty.
After Zhu Cihong ascended the throne and became pro-government, he seized the power of civil and military officials, implemented a centralized system, and drastically rectified the rule of officials.
He changed the suspicion and suppressive attitude of the Chongzhen Dynasty towards military generals, paid great attention to encircling military generals, set up many military academies such as lecture halls, selected all-round talents in civil and military affairs, formulated marches, rectified military discipline, etc., and ordered the second department of soldiers and workers to rectify the post government to ensure the smooth flow of the post road.
In terms of law, Zhu Cihong revised and improved the "Da Ming Law" and implemented the compassionate punishment regulations to sympathize with the people and improve the judicial process.
Through the implementation of a series of new policies, it fully embodied the political ability of Emperor Tianwu, making him a young emperor who kept pace with the times, deliberately sought innovation, and was extremely accomplished in the history of the Ming Dynasty!
Whether it is above the temple or the people in the rivers and lakes, the subjects of the Ming Dynasty often comment in private: In the troubled times, it is undoubtedly lucky that the Ming Dynasty can have such an outstanding emperor as Emperor Tianwu.
Emperor Tianwu created the situation of the prosperous era of Tianwu, was a wise monarch, a great statesman, and even some writers called it "the first emperor of the ages", and Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng, Tang Taizong Li Shimin, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang is equally famous.
Zhu Cihong also heard about this, he just smiled modestly: "The first emperor of the ages, I am ashamed of it, I still have a long way to go......
When someone plucked up the courage to ask how long it was, the emperor replied: "When I set foot in Europa and let the whole of Europe prostrate under my feet, it will be the time when my Ming Dynasty is at its peak!" ”
.......
At the Zhengdan Dynasty meeting, Zhu Cihong announced that the fourth day of the first lunar month of each year is the National Day of the Ming Dynasty, which is separated from the Holy Day.
National holidays are usually used to commemorate the independence of a country, the signing of the Constitution, the birth of the head of state, or other important anniversaries.
There are also some saints' festivals that are the patron saints of the country, such as the Chinese dynasties, the major events of the country's celebration, which are more important than the emperor's enthronement and birthday, and the day the emperor is generally born is the National Day.
In the current Ming Dynasty, the meaning of the National Day is the "Holy Day", that is, Zhu Cihong's birthday, the fourth day of February.
Zhu Cihong's move was to express to his subjects that the interests of the country are higher than individuals, even if it is the emperor, he must be behind.
No matter how many generations of emperors have died, the date of the National Day is fixed, unless the Ming Dynasty dies and the dynasty changes!
Truly implement Mencius's concept of "the monarch is light, the people are the first, and the society is secondary", so as to enhance the people's recognition and trust in the country.
The choice of the fourth day of the first lunar month as the national day of the Ming Dynasty is naturally because the Ming Dynasty was established on the fourth day of the first lunar month in 1368.
Not only was the Ming Dynasty established on this day, but the Song Dynasty was also established on the fourth day of the first lunar month.
The fourth day of the first lunar month is a good day, known as the "Sheep Day", and it is also a traditional Chinese festival, and there is an auspicious symbol of "Three Sheep (Yang) Kaitai" in the old yellow calendar.
In feudal terms, the fourth day of the Lunar New Year is the day when the gods of the heavenly realm descend to the world, and the birthday of the God of Wealth is the fifth day of the first month.
In the Fengtian Palace, the eunuch of the celebrant held the pen and read the edict:
“....... Emperor Taizu Gao Yuan Zhang established the Ming Dynasty on the first day of the first month of the first year of Hongwu, and the Han people of later generations should never forget the difficulties of Emperor Taizu Gao's entrepreneurship, fought a hundred battles, overthrew the tyranny of the Mengyuan Dynasty, and saved the Han people from the first month of the first month of the first year of Hongwu......
The establishment of the National Day is nothing, but then Zhu Cihong's edict made the originally festive Zhengdan Dynasty almost blow up.
Zhu Cihong did something that all emperors did not dare to do: he actually ordered the god seat of Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen to be thrown out of the Taimiao!
Who is Yingzong, everyone knows that the emperor who drove his own expedition to the Mongolian Warat Department and was captured in Tumubao is the most shameful emperor of the Han dynasty in Chinese history, and he is even more shameful than Zhao Guangyi, Taizong of the Song Dynasty, who drifted on the donkey cart of the Sorghum River!
If it weren't for a capable mother, and an uncle Yu who was strong-minded, talented and economical, both civil and military, and didn't like perms, Daming would have almost finished playing!
A good Ming dynasty with strong national strength, who can be called a six-god costume, was forced to play by Zhu Qizhen into a Dolan sword, and almost tossed the country away.
Every time he reads history so far, Zhu Cihong is very angry.
Although Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen also did a lot of practical things during his reign, such as abolishing the funeral system.
He was also ready to restart the great cause of going to the West, and wanted to send Fandu to command Ma Yun to go to the West again, and re-contact the Old Port Propaganda Division, Manraka Waifu, Sumatra Official Factory, Chadi Port Pumping Branch and Guli Official Factory, but in the end it was abandoned due to the opposition of Zhang Zhao, a small official.
To put it bluntly, I didn't do a few things, and during my reign, the people changed constantly, lost their teachers and humiliated the country, appointed traitorous ministers, unjustly killed loyal ministers, and did some embarrassing things!
Do you still expect to put the tablet in the temple and worship it for future generations?
Every time he entered the colorful glazed door of the Taimiao, Zhu Cihong was embarrassed when he saw this guy's divine position!
In the future, the Ming Dynasty will enter a new stage, whether it is economic or military, it will lead the world in an all-round way, and there will be an upsurge of martial arts among the whole people.
Having such a captured emperor is simply an insult to the dynasty and a trampling on the strong confidence of the people!
In the Fengtian Palace, looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, Zhu Cihong raised his right hand slightly.
"Silence!"
The sharp voice of the imperial eunuch sounded, and immediately the court was solemn, and the needle drop could be heard.
A smile appeared on Zhu Cihong's face, and he asked, "Is Aiqing opposed to this decision of mine?" ”
Chen Zhenhui, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate......
What he wants to say is that Emperor Yingzong is your ancestor, you should at least respect it!
If you decide to do so, you will forget your ancestors! The impact is very bad!
However, Chen Zhenhui didn't dare to say it.
Zhu Cihong glanced at him and said lukewarmly: "In this way, let's still use the old method of voting, those who are in favor stand on the left, and those who oppose stand on the right." ”
Hearing this, the civil and military officials had a big head for a while, so they had to start standing in line.
Unexpectedly, in such a major decision, almost no one stood on the right side of the opposition, and all of them expressed their approval of removing the tablet of Yingzong Zhu Qizhen from the Taimiao!
In fact, the ministers are not cowardly, but they think: This is your ancestor, not my ancestor, you do what you like! As long as we don't mention the ancestral system, it is safe!
Of course, Zhu Cihong only removed Zhu Qizhen's tablet from the Taimiao Temple and did not allow future generations to worship, not to abolish his emperor's honorific title.
In order to place the god seat of Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, Zhu Cihong built another temple, called "Vegetable Temple".
As the name suggests, it is the emperor of later generations who treats the emperor as a rice bucket, and he will send it here after his death!
At the same time, Zhu Cihong formulated a new ancestral motto: future generations, during the reign of the lost teacher and humiliation of the country, discarded the emperor's land and no return, after death must not enter the temple, must enter the temple!
