Zhang Juzheng died, and the Manchu dynasty was shaken. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Son of Heaven decreed that the Ministry of Rites would give nine altars and seven more altars according to the old practice.

On the day of the drop of the dynasty, the nine altars were given by the imperial court when the cabinet scholar died, and Zhang Ju was the sixteen altars, which can be described as extremely glorified.

The Son of Heaven also ordered the celebrant eunuch Zhang Cheng to escort Zhang Juzheng back to his hometown, which was also a good treat for the Son of Heaven. In addition, Zhang Juzheng was crowned with the Shangzhu State and Taishi when he was a servant, and it was only Zhang Juzheng who enjoyed it among the ministers since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

After that, the Son of Heaven ordered the Ministry of Rites to discuss Zhang Juzheng's nickname.

You must know that the highest nickname of a civil official is Wenzheng, as the saying goes, born Jin Taifu, died Wenzheng. So does Zhang Juzheng want to be 'Wenzheng'?

In the Ming Dynasty, there was a precedent for cabinet scholars to obtain 'Wenzheng'.

One is Li Dongyang and the other is Xie Qian.

However, when Li Dongyang was scolded by Wenzheng, the reader was quite slight, saying, 'Wenzheng has always been the king of Fan, but now Wenzheng is difficult to be', which means that you Li Dongyang is also embarrassed to slander Wenzheng, and you are also worthy of being compared with Fan Wenzheng Gong (Fan Zhongyan)?

Not only can Li Dongyang be compared with Fan Zhongyan, but Zhang Juzheng can also be compared with Li Dongyang and Xie Qian. Zhang Juzheng can be called the first prime minister after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and he has been in power for ten years when the lord and the country are suspicious.

After the feast on this day, Lin Yanchao and Wang Jiaping served straight in the Wenhua Palace.

After the chamberlain introduced Zhang Siwei into the curtain. Zhang Siwei played: "Your Majesty, the name of the first master, the cabinet has been prepared, and it will be checked by Your Majesty. ”

After speaking, Zhang Siwei presented the recital.

Lin Yanchao knew that according to the etiquette system, the minister died, and the Ministry of Rites asked for it and reported to Yu Yin, and the cabinet chose it with two words and three invitations.

The civil officials of the Ming Dynasty only have good words and no bad words, and they need to be once a Beijing official with more than three grades to get the nickname, or a minister of Hanlin, and there is also a preferential treatment for officials from Hanlin, that is, they can be given a 'Wen' word. Therefore, the process of giving the name is that the Ministry of Rites first selects the candidates who can get the nickname, reports to the cabinet, and after the cabinet deliberates, writes two two-character nicknames for the Son of Heaven to choose from.

After the little emperor saw Zhang Siwei's recital, he asked Zhang Siwei: "Why doesn't the cabinet prepare the word Wenzheng, but Wenzhen and Wenzhong." ”

After Lin Yanchao heard this, he knew that Zhang Siwei had proposed two nicknames for the Son of Heaven: Wenzhen and Wenzhong.

In the law, Wen Zheng is the first, Wen Zhen is the second, Wen Cheng is the third, and Wen Zhongcai is the fourth.

Zhang Siwei calmly said: "Your Majesty, Wenzheng is extremely beautiful, and it cannot be added, and the first master deserves it." However, when the cabinet discussed it before, I remember that there is a saying of avoidance in the law, such as Wang Wen, a scholar of this dynasty, and Hanlin Linwen, and the nickname is 'Yishu' and 'Xiangmin' to avoid the word 'Wen'. Therefore, the first master said 'Wenzheng', which is inevitably not beautiful. ”

Listening to Zhang Siwei's explanation, the little emperor showed a sudden expression.

Zhang Siwei said again: "As for Wencheng, it's not suitable. In the past, there were Liu Bowen and Wang Yangming. Liu Wencheng has the merit of the ovary, and Wang Wencheng is fair and determined, both of which are meritorious achievements, but it is a pity that neither of them is listed as a pivotal assistant. ”

So it turned out that Wenzheng's nickname and Zhang Juzheng's name overlapped, and he committed a crime, as for Wencheng, he was awarded a minister who had great merits to the country, but had never served as prime minister. Liu Bowen and Wang Yangming have never been prime ministers after all.

When Zhang Siwei said this, he logically excluded 'Wenzheng' and 'Wencheng'.

"Among the central assistants of this dynasty, Wen Zhen and Du Yang Taihe have been awarded, and Wen Zhong has Zhang Yongjia and Yang Xindu, so the ministers list these two words, please weigh them."

Yang Taihe is Yang Shiqi among the three Yangs, while Zhang Yongjia and Yang Xin are both Zhang Xuan and Yang Tinghe.

That's all Zhang Siwei said, and the emperor let him decide for himself.

Lin Yanchao looked at Zhang Siwei, thinking that Zhang Siwei's move was to test the mind of the Son of Heaven.

In the end, in the heart of the Son of Heaven, Zhang Ju is Yang Shiqi? Or Zhang Xuan, Yang Tinghe?

Who is Yang Shiqi? Compared with Fang Du's prime minister, he served as the first assistant for twenty-one years, and he was the only one among the first assistants to confer Wenzhen. If it weren't for his son's drag, even 'Wenzheng' would not be too much.

For more than 100 years after Yang Shiqi's death, he was known as a virtuous man, which was the conclusion of the coffin. If you dare to speak ill of him, the government and the opposition will spray him unanimously.

But Zhang Xuan, Yang Tinghe has great contributions to the country, but also has shortcomings, Zhang Xuan relied on the merit of the Great Rites to ascend to the throne, famous for changing the law, although his loyalty to Emperor Jiajing is leveraged, but when he was in power, he was scolded by the civil officials and ministers.

Yang Tinghe, who opposed Emperor Jiajing during the great ceremony, ended up very sadly, and was cut down by the emperor to serve as a citizen, without a nickname. After Emperor Longqing ascended the throne, he remembered that if Yang Ting and Ying Jiajing were not emperors, he would still be the prince's life, so he posthumously gave it to 'Wenzhong'.

Lin Yanchao saw that the little emperor's imperial pen had been hanging on the chapter for a long time, and there was also a fierce battle in his thoughts.

The little emperor put down his pen and said to Wei Chao, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch: "You go and ask, what does it mean to see the queen mother?" ”

Lin Yanchao also guessed what the Son of Heaven thought in his heart, since Lin Yanchao understood, Zhang Siwei must have understood earlier.

Soon the Wei Dynasty returned to the Wenhua Hall and said to the little emperor: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is talking to the Marquis of Wuqing in the palace, and the ministers just asked, and the Queen Mother said that His Majesty will be fine on this matter." ”

The little emperor suddenly remembered that his grandfather, Marquis Wu Qing, was the most opposed to Zhang Juzheng when he was in power, and then thought of those ministers who had always opposed Zhang Juzheng's changes.

So the little emperor said: "When I was young, Mr. Taiyue presided over the banquet for me, and praised Zhang Wenzhonggong, and later when I read the records of Sejong, Mr. Taiyue called Zhang Wenzhong Gong in the text, 'Gai Qi's talents are similar, so he likes and is paralyzed by admiration'." ”

"Zhenyun, if you are in danger of being loyal, I will use the word Wenzhong."

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Zhang Siwei, Lin Yanchao and others said together.

So the little emperor took the pen and checked it on the note.

The Wei Dynasty handed the piece to Zhang Siwei, who left respectfully with the piece in his hand. Lin Yanchao expected that Zhang Siwei had already gotten the answer he wanted from this nickname.

After retiring and returning home.

Before Lin Yanchao had eaten dinner, Chen Jichuan said, "Master, there are dignitaries outside the door." ”

Lin Yanchao glanced at Lin Qianqian at the dinner table, and saw that she was showing disappointment, and was angrily poking the bowl with chopsticks.

It's all the child's mother, or is it like such a little daughter, Lin Yanchao asked Chen Jichuan: "What kind of guest, can you wait for me to finish eating?" ”

Chen Jichuan said in a low voice: "Master, it is the second and third sons of the First Taishi's Mansion. ”

It turned out to be Zhang Sixiu, Zhang Maoxiu.

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but be surprised, after Zhang Juzheng died of illness, the two of them should have returned to their hometowns to guard the system, what did they do when they came to the house at this moment?

You must know that although the two of them are colleagues in their Hanlin Academy, they have no contact between the two sides, and there are still some small holidays between themselves and Zhang Maoxiu.

Lin Yanchao showed an apologetic look to Lin Qianqian, so he said to Chen Jichuan: "Please ask them to meet in the living room." ”
