Verses 705 and 706 A day in the life of the queen mother
Li Luo's honorific title now has eight words: Wencheng Wuyun is the most holy.
If you add more, that's at least ten words.
"Minister, please add the four words of Your Majesty's honorific name, Guangdao Guangde!" Cui Mu said.
The secretary of the Hanlin Academy, Mu Wei, also raised the wat board, "Please add Your Majesty's honorific title and open the heavens!" ”
The Tang Dynasty School Palace (Guozijian) sacrificed wine yellow, "The minister please add the four words of Tianlongyun." ”
Lin Biju and Yang Hanming also proposed new honorific titles.
As a result, the ministers put forward their names one after another, and no one wanted to be resigned.
Cui Xiuning suddenly made a difficulty.
Now there are several honorific titles, which one to choose?
Utu, the squire of the military department, suddenly came out of the ranks, "Your Majesty, my Tang Dynasty Emperor personally drove to conquer Guanzhong, although it is a vast morality, but after all, it is martial arts, and the minister is a military general, and I think it is the most appropriate four words of Shenwu Weide." ”
"Not bad." Du Lie also came out to agree, "Empress, Your Majesty is a great victory, opening up the territory, and Shenwu Weide is the best." ”
"No!" Mu Yinglong objected, "Your Majesty's honorific name, there are already four characters of Wencheng Wuyun, how can the honorific number be repeated?" ”
Cui Xiuning thought about it and felt that Kaitianli was extremely good.
"Then open the heavens and stand upright, the Ministry of Rites will honor the name with these four words, and Honglu Temple will sue the Taimiao Temple according to the etiquette." Cui Xiuning's golden mouth and jade words ruled on the word "open the sky and stand upright".
Because she felt that what Li Luo did was indeed to open the sky.
As a result, Li Luo, who had just arrived and was established, became the "Emperor of the Holy Emperor of the Great Benevolence of the Great Benevolence of the Open Heaven and the Pole of Martial Arts". is only thirty years old, and he has been the emperor for more than a year, and he has a twelve-character honorific title!
But the problem is that Li Luoguang recovered the southern country, and also received the Japanese country, Annan, and Guanzhong, and soon the Bagan country will return to the Tang Dynasty, he has this qualification.
Who knows, Yang Hanming, the concubine, once again came out and played: "Minister, please add the title of Her Majesty the Queen, Zhaoming!" ”
Lin Biju also raised the wat board in agreement, "The queen assists the Son of Heaven, just like the bright moon assists the sun, and the sun is yin and yin, which is the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and the prosperity of cultural and martial arts." Her Majesty the Queen Zhaode Mingrui is worthy of the word Zhaoming! ”
The ministers echoed one after another, asking Cui Xiuning to add the honorific title "Zhaoming".
Cui Xiuning already has the honorific title "Wencheng Yide", if he is adding "Zhaoming", it will be six words.
"This palace is only the regent of His Majesty, and there is no merit, and the palace does not dare to accept the request of the emperors. This matter needs not be discussed again. Cui Xiuning objected.
Although her history is not good, she also knows the honorific title of the Empress of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the number of words is also very large. That Yehenara clan shamelessly accepted the honorific title of dozens of words before his death.
She was really embarrassed to accept it.
Yang Hanming insisted: "Your Majesty, the so-called husband and wife are honored, the husband and wife are one, and the yin and yang are combined, and the family and country are peaceful." The queen's merits are obvious to all, and the subjects are all virtuous. If Her Majesty the Queen refuses to be honorific, I am afraid that Her Majesty's knowledge will be hurt. ”
"Exactly." Lin Biju also insisted, "Her Majesty the Queen will not accept it, I am afraid that it will hurt the sum of the heavenly family." ”
Is it so serious? Of course Cui Xiuning didn't believe it.
Mu Wei and others also insisted and asked Cui Xiuning to accept the honorific title.
Sitting under Cui Xiuning, Li Zheng, who had already begun to be sensible at the age of six, was unwilling to be lonely and said in a childish childish voice: "Queen Mother, the invitation of the ministers, the Queen Mother will agree." ”
Cui Xiuning had no choice but to reluctantly agree. If she wants to say whether she is happy or unhappy in her heart, it is that she knows it herself.
In this way, Cui Xiuning became "Empress Zhaoming Wencheng Yide". On solemn occasions such as big sacrifices and ceremonies, these six words must be used in the expression, and they cannot be referred to as the queen or the queen of Wencheng.
Lin Biju played again: "Queen Aya, Bagan, has submitted a request for the third time, and Her Majesty Queen Qing has decided whether to play or not." ”
The so-called three requests for the return of the whole country to Tang are, of course, a formality. In fact, Bagan Queen Aya is a puppet, and Bagan has long been controlled by the Tang court.
"Quasi-play." Cui Xiuning nodded, "Your Majesty's meaning is to make Aye the lord of Nan'an County and give him the surname Li." The state of Bagan was changed to the state of Burmese. ”
"No!" Lin Biju received the order.
Immediately, the Hanlin Academy presented the edict that had been drawn up long ago, and Cui Xiuning invited it to pass on the jade seal of the country and promulgated it with a seal.
According to the Tang system, all major edicts must be handed down to the jade seal before they can take effect.
As soon as the jade seal is covered, it means that legally, the state of Bagan (Burma) no longer exists, and the Tang Dynasty has more Burmese states, plus the newly acquired Yongzhou, reaching seventeen states.
Wu Zhenlou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, immediately presented the Burmese household registration book that had been prepared long ago, and the gold leaf Sanzang Sutra and the jade Buddha beads and the jade king seal that symbolized the royal power of Bagan.
"Your Majesty, the population of 3.3 million people from all tribes in Bagan has returned to the Tang Dynasty."
Cui Xiuning said in a cold voice: "In accordance with Your Majesty's will, we will make every effort to implement the Juntian Order and change the land and return to the stream." Abolish the Musha system in Burmese, abolish the privileges of monks, abolish the status of Buddhism as a state religion, release Tanu as a commoner, abolish the Burmese language, destroy the inscriptions of classics, give Han surnames, line Chinese characters, and Yi Han crowns. ”
These are all Li Luo's meanings, of course Cui Xiuning will not be merciful.
The state of Bagan has always retained the system of musa (lords), and the musas are like the original gate lords of China, monopolizing the land and population. At the same time, the monks were very powerful in Bagan, and there were Buddhist temples everywhere. Moreover, the Buddhist temple also occupies a large amount of land, plundering the people as "Tanu".
More than thirty percent of the population, either slaves of Musha or Tanu of temples, lived a miserable life.
Musha and the monks lived a life of poverty and luxury, exerting power and fortune, monopolizing wealth and official positions.
It can be said that even if Bagan did not die before, his life was not much better than that of the Han people in the north.
However, it would be a big mistake to think that Bagan is backward.
Bagan has a well-developed agriculture with many varieties of crops, and successive kings have also paid attention to the construction of water conservancy. Culturally, Bagan was influenced by both the Central Plains and Tianzhu, and because Buddhism flourished, it was not an uncivilized barbarian race.
"Those who dare to resist the decree of the Tang Dynasty will be punished with severe punishment. His Majesty's letter to the palace made it very clear that the Tang Dynasty was for the people of Burma, not for Miu Sha and the monks. Cui Xiuning continued.
This is, of course, a half-truth, ignoring Li Luo's ambition and domineering selectivity. Otherwise, what can you say about destroying people's literary classics, destroying their history, forcibly giving surnames, and changing the Han crown?
Li Yong, the imperial historian, said: "Your Majesty, there are many good riders in Myanmar, and there are many Tianzhu horses in Myanmar, with curly ears and tall, no less than tens of thousands. The Chancellor asked to recruit the Burmese as cavalry. ”
The Burmese are good at riding, which is indeed unexpected by many courtiers.
Actually, it's not surprising. The main body of the Burmese people is the Qiang people who migrated southward from northwest China. Their ancestors were authentic nomads in the northwest, and they must have brought horses with them when they moved all the way south.
Besides, Bagan is close to Tianzhu, and many horses on the Deccan Plateau flow into Bagan. Bagan has no shortage of horses, and in addition to elephants, there are also many cavalry.
"Yes." Cui Xiuning nodded, "You can select 50,000 Burmese who are good at riding and recruit them as recruits." However, soldiers must be the beneficiaries of the new Tang Deal. In addition,People who resist the sinicization of the surname,Can't be recruited as recruits.。 ”
The military department Shangshu Dulie immediately received the order. Recruiting new recruits is an errand for the military department. However, this matter still needs the assistance of the Ministry of Households.
After talking about Bagan, Honglu Temple Qing Li Qian mentioned another important thing.
"Empress Qiyu. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now six years old, and the minister heard that His Royal Highness has been personally taught by the Emperor. But the Emperor Taishang is very old, does he follow the system and invite Confucianism to teach His Royal Highness? ”
"There are also King Wu and Princess Chang'an, both of whom are five years old, do you want to ask Confucianism to teach?"
He didn't know, in fact, the crown prince was not only taught by the emperor, but also by the queen, and when His Majesty was in the palace, he would also teach.
The same goes for King Wu and Princess Chang'an.
As for the younger third son of the emperor, Yue Wang Li Yan, and the adopted daughter Xiangyang Princess Li Xin, it is not yet time to study.
Li signed it, and other ministers also suggested that it was the prince who invited a teacher.
Cui Xiuning knew that sooner or later, a minister would bring it up.
The crown prince is the foundation of the country, and education is of course a major matter. According to the rules, the prince should have had teachers such as the prince and the prince and the prince and the prince a long time ago.
Like Tang Guo, who set up a prince but did not appoint a master of the East Palace, it is rare in ancient times.
The ministers invited the prince to ask for a teacher, although it was out of public intentions, but they also had selfish intentions.
You must know that the prince Zhan Shi, the prince washing the horse, and the prince giving up the people, are all noble and promising beauty. Not to mention the Third Division.
These official positions, as long as one of them are held at the same time, it is different.
Therefore, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have long been waiting for the prince to officially enter the school, waiting for the official establishment of the East Palace Yamen.
However, neither Cui Xiuning nor Li Luo was willing to do so.
To put it mildly, apart from her and Li Luo, who could be more suitable to be the prince's real teacher?
Especially those Confucian ministers, not only like to teach the prince to be the so-called benevolent monarch in the eyes of Confucianism, but also like to carry private goods.
How many of the princes taught by Confucian ministers in history have the enterprising spirit to expand their territory? How many have the consciousness of the Chinese standard? On the contrary, most of them have become conservative and pedantic kings, which is convenient for civil servants to fiddle with.
The real teachers of the children can only be her and Li Luo. Of course, the subset of scripture and history and the martial arts of riding and archery still have to be taught by Wenchen Wufu in the future, but the most core knowledge and truth must be taught by two people in person.
Later generations should be taught knowledge as long as it is not inconsistent with ancient values, such as economics, statistics, mathematics, physics, physical geography, environmental protection, medical care, etc.
However, it cannot be related to the modern ideas and universal values of later generations, as well as atheistic philosophy.
They are in ancient times, and if they teach them too advanced thinking, it will definitely harm them, and even harm the Tang Dynasty.
Those things, in Guda, are ideological utopias, and they can't be touched. Don't preach, even Li Luo and her never publicize it to the outside world, and they are secretive.
In ancient times, you said that everyone is equal, free, democratic, and there are no ghosts, gods and gods in the world. The monarch has no authority, and the court is no longer sacred, so what? The country is in chaos.
Modern thinking is based on the developed productive forces and the level of science and technology. An inefficient ancient agricultural empire that can only be governed by authoritarianism, and you engage in modern universal values, that is a huge fire pit.
Therefore, Cui Xiuning and Li Luo were very careful in designing teaching materials for the children. The areas that can't be touched, not a word are mentioned.
"The crown prince and the prince's teacher, by New Year's Day next year, His Majesty will personally select them. You don't have to worry, the crown prince is the foundation of the country, and His Majesty and the palace will not be negligent. ”
Cui Xiuning gave the ministers a reassurance, but did not immediately appoint the prince's teacher, let alone set up the East Palace subordinates.
It's not a good thing for a son to build a big team at such a young age. The prince is easily led astray and loses his childlike nature prematurely.
Towards the end of the court meeting, the envoy of the mine came out again: "Your Majesty, Yingzhou Iwami and other silver mines have smelted 820,000 taels of silver. Please, do you want to ship it back? ”
Cui Xiuning frowned, "Why hasn't it been shipped back yet?" Ship it back instantly! Also, every 500,000 taels that are refined in the future must be transported back, and not too much accumulation. The imperial court is waiting for the silver to be minted. ”
…………
After the court meeting, Cui Xiuning and Li Zheng went to the Taining Hall where Emperor Yan Duo lived.
After Yan Duo was respected as the emperor, he usually read calligraphy and paintings, taught the prince and the prince, and lived a comfortable and peaceful life.
Occasionally, Du Lie and others will also come to visit. Although he is seventy-two years old, he has been in a happy mood in the past few years, living a rich life, and his body is quite healthy.
"Father, do you want to post today?" When Li Zheng saw Yan Duo, he asked crisply.
Cui Xiuning saluted: "Father." ”
Yan Duo nodded, smiled and touched Li Zheng's head, "Of course, this calligraphy is very important before the age of eight, and what is the bone nature of the whole life is at this time." You are the prince, you must first write well, practice your qi well, and calm down. ”
Calligraphy is important for honing one's mind. Yan Duo's purpose is to cultivate Li Zheng's tenacious and focused character through the post.
After Yan Duo finished speaking, he personally wrote a word and said, "Grandson, today, you copy this word ten times." Every time, it has to be more like the last time. ”
Yan Duo was born in the royal family of the Jin Kingdom and received a good education when he was young. His calligraphy was taught by Chu Suiliang, and his writing was both square and round, and he was full of momentum, which was both upright and generous, but also smart and beautiful, and won the essence of Chu's family.
Li Zheng's dark and smart eyes looked at the word "Dao" written by Yan Duo, tilted his little head and asked, "Father, what is this word?" ”
Although he already knew some words and could write his own name, he didn't know this word.
Yan Duo said with a smile: "Children practice calligraphy, it's best not to know this character first." If you don't know, you will have the heart of awe and inquiry, so that the next pen has its own solemnity, and I dare not follow it lightly. You don't care what it is, just copy it. ”
"No!" Li Zheng obediently agreed, picked up a little wolf, and copied it seriously.
Cui Xiuning looked at his son's concentrated appearance and was very satisfied.
Zheng'er is really getting more and more sensible.
When the two adults saw that the little man was writing without distractions, they stopped caring about him and went to the simmering pavilion next to him to talk.
"Now that the emperor has taken Guanzhong, Longxi, Longdong, and Hetao are still in the hands of the Yuan Court. Taking advantage of the annihilation of the main force of the Shaanxi Yuan army, troops should be sent to occupy Qin. Yan Duo said.
Cui Xiuning poured him a cup of tea, "Father, rest assured, the emperor is already going to send troops." When Mr. Wen returns to the court, he will increase his troops to Guanzhong by 100,000. ”
Yan Duo continued: "Also, the construction of Chang'an Palace cost a lot of wood. Chang'an has not built the palace for hundreds of years, and the wood in the mountains is sufficient, but it is not easy to transport. You can go north to log wood, drift to Chang'an along the Jing water, and log in Longshan, drift to Chang'an along the Weishui. ”
"It saves a lot of manpower and effort. The material is soaked in the river water, and then dried, so that it is just the right person to be the pillar. ”
Cui Xiuning didn't know about these.
Yan Duo mentioned masonry again, "The Chang'an moat disappeared decades ago. You can dig up the earth to open a new moat, and the excavated earth can be used to burn bricks, killing two birds with one stone. ”
"If you dredge eight waters, you will definitely dig out a lot of silt. The silt can be mixed with herb ash such as artemisia grass to make fragrant mud, which is used to brush beams and columns, which can prevent fire and moth..."
Yan Duo said a lot of suggestions, many of which were very useful, Cui Xiuning wrote them down one by one, and prepared to write a letter to tell Li Luo.
After a conversation between the father and daughter, Cui Xiuning put Li Zheng in the Taining Palace, returned to Longzhang Palace, watched the chapter for a while, and after completing the instructions, he began to write the "Tang Law".
In addition to dealing with government affairs, her most important work now is to compile the "Tang Law" and the "Imperial Classics".
"Datang Law" is actually a synthesis of civil law, commercial law, criminal law, and procedural law. Today, Tang Guo still uses "Tang Jianlu", which is very imperfect. Many times, it is necessary to follow the "Song Criminal Union" and "Tang Law Shu Yi".
The "Tang Law" can be said to be the most complete and reasonable legal code ever written. It not only embodies justice and authority, but also embodies the idea of enlightened rule and people-oriented, and is a legal code that is ahead of the times and does not deviate from the times.
Cui Xiuning can be said to have mastered this degree, using his legal knowledge and combining with the actual situation of ancient times to write "The Law of the Tang Dynasty" with his heart.
However, "The Law of the Tang Dynasty" is relatively voluminous, and Cui Xiuning wrote it intermittently for two years before completing most of it. It is estimated that it will take another year to complete the compilation and promulgation of the world.
Cui Xiuning compiled the "Tang Law" for half an hour, got up to do activities, used a bowl of bird's nest soup, and then continued to compile the "Imperial Classics".
"The True Dictionary of Imperial Learning" is a textbook for the princes and princesses.
The royal textbook was mainly written by Cui Xiuning. This knowledge can enable the princes and princesses to learn a lot of knowledge that transcends the times, cultivate their logical thinking and methodology close to modernity, and have a vision far beyond others.
But ideologically, they still belong to this era, to the ancients. However, they need to be more critical and scientific methodological than other ancients.
The "Imperial Classics" involves a lot of useful knowledge in later generations, but the content of each subject is not deep, such as mathematics, which is only at the high school level. Physical chemistry is only at the junior high school level. Economics is also only a high school common sense.
The general school textbook in the Tang Kingdom is the Tang School Palace, the highest university, and the mathematics is only at the junior high school level, and the physical chemistry only has some simple common sense.
The "Imperial Classics" is currently only intended for the princes and princesses, and is not open to the public.
It's not that the two are too selfish. Because, even if the "Imperial Classics" is promoted, who will teach it? There is no such faculty at all.
Just these children, both of them need to make good use of the time to teach, and it will take many years to slowly teach the "Imperial Classics", how to teach others?
The idea was that it would be many years before the contents of the Royal Canon would be popularized. Before popularization, it is necessary to study and figure out for several years in the Datang Academy, the highest institution of learning, and then train teachers to popularize it from top to bottom.
The steps are big... Not good.
"Qi Yu Niangniang, Taiwei Wen has returned to the dynasty and is waiting for the decree outside the palace." The voice of the female officer Yan Chan'er sounded, interrupting Cui Xiuning's thoughts.
Cui Xiuning's spirit was shocked, put down the pen and rubbed his wrist, "Quickly invite Mr. Wen into the palace." ”
"No!"
…………
In late October, Wen Tianxiang and Chen Shuzhen returned to the DPRK one after another.
Wen Tianxiang only rested in Jiangling for three days, and then according to Cui Xiuningyi's order, he prepared to lead an army of 100,000 and more than ten prisoners to enter Guanzhong from Wuguan Road, assist Li Luo in attacking Longdong and Hetao in Longxi, and build Chang'an Palace at the same time.
is about to enter Guanzhong with Wen Tianxiang, as well as Zhang Zhichun, who was "invited" from Mount Tai by the Special Investigation Bureau.
To Cui Xiuning's surprise, Zhang Zhichun was "invited", but he was not angry. Not only was there no anger, but even after being summoned by Cui Xiuning, he was very respectful.
Knowing that the Tang Emperor wanted to rebuild the Chang'an Palace and asked him to be the minister of palace construction, Zhang Zhichun not only did not refuse, but also gladly accepted.
The reason is not worth mentioning. Because the Tang Dynasty takes Taoism as the state religion. As a Taoist priest and as a Han Chinese, Zhang Zhichun had no reason to resist the Tang Dynasty.
When Zhang Zhichun said goodbye to Cui Xiuning, Cui Xiuning gave him some drawings, which were about the construction of urban drainage and sewage, as well as fire and flood control, and some urban construction plans for later generations.
Zhang Zhichun was greatly amazed when he saw it. The design proposed by Cui Xiuning, although it did not subvert his cognition, gave him a lot of inspiration.
He never imagined that the Empress of the Tang Dynasty would know so much of Lu Ban's technique.
ps: Originally, I was added to the alliance leader today, but the director suddenly came to the matter, and asked me to go to the unit on Sunday afternoon to receive a poor child who had worked for a friend for a year, didn't get a penny, and worked seven days a week, and spent an afternoon. So that's all I have to do for today. I'll add more tomorrow! Sorry, crab, good night!
