A nickname is a text that is evaluated by descendants after a person's death. In ancient times, in countries and regions influenced by Chinese culture, the evaluation of a character's merits and demerits was often not a matter of words. In general, emperors, empresses, princes and ministers and other relatively high social figures in ancient history, after their death, the imperial court will give an evaluative title based on what they did during their lifetime, which is the usual meaning of the nickname, which is used to highly summarize the life of a historical figure.

Because of the special status of the emperor, the nickname is usually determined by the next emperor after the next emperor ascends the throne, after consulting with the cabinet ministers, according to the life of the first emperor.

But Zhu Yousong, the first emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, is an exception, although everyone knows that Zhu Yousong died outside the Jubao Gate, but this kind of thing cannot be publicized everywhere, and at the same time, Zhu Lunkui has to look for this dead father everywhere in order to show his legitimacy.

Zhu Chang in Hangzhou is similar, Zhu Chang is Zhu Yousong's uncle according to the genealogy, his nephew died and his uncle became the emperor, and he didn't make peace with the etiquette and law, and he added some ministers who supported each other to compete for merit, so after more than a year, King Lu did not give Zhu Yousong a nickname. In this way, Zhu Yousong became the most tragic emperor in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and he could not be conclusive for more than a year after his death.

Zhu Lunkui heard Qian Qianyi say this and suddenly remembered that he had set a name and temple number for Zhu Yousong, isn't this a good thing to show his legitimacy?

"Okay, what Mr. Qian said is right, I will let the cabinet deal with this matter tomorrow, and strive to set the name for the first emperor as soon as possible!"

In fact, Zhu Lunkui is Zhu Yousong's grandson according to the genealogy, but now under special circumstances, there is no way to talk about those ends, so Zhu Lunkui became Zhu Yousong's son and the legitimate successor of the Ming Empire.

Qian Qianyi was very happy when he heard the emperor's promise to him, and he came out of the palace and went to the Criminal Department to see Qi Biaojia. The head of the prison was very curious when he saw that Qian Ge Lao came twice a day, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only respectfully open the cell and let Qian Qianyi enter Qi Biaojia's cell.

Qi Biaojia saw that Qian Qianyi was here again, and knew that his teacher would not give up, so he sighed and said: "Teacher, students will not take refuge in Zhou Fan, please go back!" ”

Qian Qianyi did not leave this time, but came to Qi Biaojia's side, pulled Qi Biaojia to sit in the grass and said: "Youwen, just now I went to see His Majesty the Emperor for the teacher, His Majesty has issued an order to give the first emperor a name, and at the same time, the emperor has issued an amnesty for the world!" Youwen is also among the amnesties, and the emperor is ready to let Youwen return to serve as the governor of Jiangnan! ”

When Qi Biaojia heard that Zhu Lunkui was going to give Zhu Yousong a name, she was shocked in her heart, knowing that in terms of legitimacy, Nanjing had already gone to the front of Hangzhou. If Zhu Lunkui's nickname is recognized by the people of the world, then Zhu Lunkui is Zhu Yousong's legitimate successor, and naturally Zhu Chang, the king of Lu, will become a rebel.

Qi Biaojia sighed in his heart when he heard Qian Qianyi finish speaking, he didn't think about giving Zhu Yousong a name when he was in Hangzhou. But at that time, the army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty had already reached Suzhou, which was close to Hangzhou, so no one cared about it

Something. When the Manchu Qing Dynasty was beaten away, the bigwigs in the DPRK and China began to fight for power and profit, and naturally they forgot about the nickname, adding that Zhu Chang was originally Zhu Yousong's uncle and did not want to be Zhu Yousong's successor at all, so the matter of the nickname was delayed, and now it is preempted by Nanjing.

Qi Biaojia didn't say anything after listening, he still closed his eyes and didn't speak, Qian Qianyi saw Qi Biaojia like this, and then persuaded him: "Youwen, the first emperor's inheritance of the unification is supported by the whole world, you were also one of the supporters of Youwen back then, and at the same time, the first emperor Jian promoted you as the governor of Jiangnan, you won't forget this kind of kindness, right?" ”

At that time, the Donglin Party was the fiercest opponent, and in the end, Ma Shiying united with the four towns of Jiangbei to suppress the opposition of the Donglin Party, and finally gave in. But no matter what you thought at the time, after all, a head fell to the ground, at that time, you Qi Biaojia supported Zhu Yousong, and at the same time, Zhu Yousong directly promoted you from being at home to the governor of Jiangnan, this kind of kindness is not something that you can forget.

Qian Qianyi's words have already come to this, Qi Biaojia has no way not to speak, and if he is silent, he will become ungrateful, and there is no way Qi Biaojia can only say: "The student is naturally grateful for the trust of the first emperor, but Zhou Fan is from a wrong background, and the student is unable to help Zhou Fan, please forgive the teacher!" ”

Qian Qianyi was overjoyed when he heard Qi Biaojia speak, he was not afraid that you would not speak, but he was afraid that you would be silent, now that you can communicate, it will be easy to do.

"Youwen, when I was a teacher, I remember to teach you not to be too pedantic, now you look at the general trend of the world, Ma Cheng led the army is about to hit Suzhou, and King Lu's army has basically been wiped out! Even if King Lu still has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, does Youwen think he can defeat Ma Cheng? ”

King Lu has been preparing for a year, and the army of 100,000 that was easily organized was defeated and lost by Ma Cheng in one day, and Qi Biaojia, as a party concerned, naturally knew how powerful Ma Cheng was. At the same time, Qi Biaojia also knew that King Lu was gone, and the remaining army could not resist Ma Cheng's attack at all.

"Youwen, in that case, why are you still stupidly loyal to King Lu? Now the whole world is in chaos, and the most hopeful one for recovering the Ming Dynasty is my Imperial Majesty, do you still want to go against the tide of history and be a disloyal and unfilial person? ”

Qian Qianyi's disloyalty and unfilial piety naturally does not refer to disloyalty and unfilial piety to Zhu Lunkui, but refers to Emperor Tianqi, Emperor Chongzhen, and Emperor Hongguang. Qi Biaojia became a jinshi at the age of twenty in the second year of the Apocalypse, and in the tenth year of Chongzhen nine years later, at the age of twenty-nine, he was appointed as the right prince of the fourth grade, and it took only nine years for him to be promoted from a seventh-grade green-robed petty official to a four-rank red-robed high-ranking official, and it cannot be said that the two emperors of the Apocalypse Chongzhen trusted Qi Biaojia.

Later, although Qi Biaojia was involved in the political struggle of the imperial court and was dismissed, after Hongguang came to power, he directly promoted Qi Biaojia to the governor of Jiangnan and handed over the most important ten prefectures in Jiangnan to Qi Biaojia, which made Qi Biaojia very grateful for this trust and reuse. After Qi Biaojia heard Qian Qianyi finish speaking, she couldn't help but feel very guilty in her heart, and her face also showed a look of shame.

Qian Qianyi saw that there was a door, and continued to persuade him: "Youwen, now the demons in the DPRK and China are dancing wildly, Ma Shiying and his party are in a miasma of power, Ma Cheng is leading the army outside, and the emperor's monarchy is falling, this kind of crisis is in need of righteous people like you and me to act as the mainstay of the court!" Youwen, who is already old as a teacher, can still work with horses

How long does it take for father and son to fight? Therefore, I hope that you will take over this team, and you must not let the disaster of Cao Cao and Sima Yi appear in our dynasty! ”

Qian Qianyi's words said that Qi Biaojia went to his heart, Qi Biaojia was deeply favored by the three emperors of the Ming Dynasty, and now Emperor Shaowu Zhu Lunkui was bullied like this by Ma Cheng's father and son, if Qi Biaojia didn't stand up and do something, then when the Ming Dynasty was usurped by Ma Cheng's father and son, Qi Biaojia would really become a historical sinner.

At the same time, now the king of Lu in Hangzhou is no longer good, and the fall is just around the corner, even if Qi Biaojia is martyred for loyalty and filial piety, it will not play a role, it is better to join the Zhu Lunkui regime, at least to make his own contribution to the continuation of the Ming Dynasty.

Qian Qianyi has already said that his mouth is dry, and finally said: "Youwen, Your Majesty has reinstated you as the governor of Jiangnan this time, just to send you to contain Ma Cheng, when the time comes, you and I will be outside and one inside, and the time will come to eradicate the Ma father and son, and then the heroes of Zhongxing Daming will have you and me!" ”

The temptation to leave a name in history is too great, the Ming Dynasty has basically lost three-fifths of its land now, and the remaining two-fifths are also in the hands of various warlords, if Qi Biaojia can assist Zhu Lunkui Zhongxing, then who will remember that Qi Biaojia is a second minister in the future?

Qi Biaojia thought twice, got up and knelt down in front of Qian Qianyi, and then said: "Since the teacher wants the student to assist King Zhou, then the student will do what the teacher says!" However, the student has one thing to ask His Majesty, the minister is a second minister, I don't want to confront King Lu head-on, and I don't want to lead the troops to fight as the governor of Jiangnan, please forgive me! ”

What Qi Biaojia said is also reasonable, after all, if you just take refuge in the new master, you can't kick the old master again. The governor of the Ming Dynasty has a military nature, but with the military god Ma Cheng here, it doesn't matter if Qi Biaojia leads the army or not, as long as Qi Biao can monitor Ma Cheng, it is enough to pull Ma Cheng's hind legs at a critical time.

Qi Biaojia's defection made Zhu Lunkui and Qian Qianyi very happy, after all, there was one more help to contain the Ma father and son.

Emperor Zhu Lunkui officially issued an edict on the first day of the fifth month, which was the name and temple number of the first emperor Zhu Yousong, and Zhu Yousong was called Emperor Zongjian of Ming'an in history. The word An is very general, which probably means stable and smooth, but this word An is mostly used for the king of Shoucheng, but it is not suitable for Zhu Yousong, the king of the dead country.

Compared with the temple name of Anzong, the name of Jian is much better. Jane's meaning is the meaning of pure emptiness and few desires, and it is much stronger than what is yang, strong, desolate, ghostly, spiritual, and other evil words, and it probably belongs to the common words such as Huai, mourning, mourning, and Min. However, with Zhu Yousong's actions, it really can't reach this simple word, this is Zhu Lunkui's helplessness, he can't say that his previous emperor was shameless, so Zhu Yousong was given such a nickname.

The matter of the title is conducive to the maintenance of the Shaowu Imperial Court and is also beneficial to all ministers, so this article was passed without much effort in the cabinet, but the appointment of Qi Biaojia as the governor of Jiangnan was not passed.

The reason is very simple, as long as you are not blind, you know that the emperor did not have a good intention to send Qi Biaojia to serve as the governor of Jiang, Ma Cheng is now the governor of Jiangnan, and now he is sending a civil official to do it? Obviously, he just wanted to pull Ma Cheng's hind legs, and Ma Shiying naturally couldn't let this one pass.
