The king wants you to die in the third watch, how dare you keep people until the fourth watch. Xu Jingzong, who was afraid of death in the drunken dew academy, was summoned by the Heavenly Lord, and he didn't wake up after being in a coma for three days. A few days later, the old fox, who had served as a solid backing for the Empress Wu on the issue of the post-register, and thus enjoyed the glory and wealth of the rest of his life, reluctantly swallowed his last breath and died at the age of eighty-one.

Xu Jingzong is a high-ranking official, and there are naturally certain regulations for this future affairs, and he has not made any major mistakes in principle, so whether it is Li Zhi or Li Hong, they have not spared any regret in mourning after death. The final edict clearly stated the specifications - on the third day of the abolition of the dynasty, the edict and the military officials went to cry for the first time, and presented the three divisions of the Kaifu Yi and the governor of Yangzhou to accompany the burial of Zhaoling.

Although it is slightly inferior to Li Ji, it is already one of the best among all the courtiers who died after Li Zhi ascended the throne. Even Empress Wu was sentimental about the death of the last meritorious hero, and she was satisfied with such specifications.

However, because of this unexpected death, the harmonious court suddenly had a few more discordant notes. Some voices that had been suppressed for too long all of a sudden popped out, and they almost didn't applaud openly. Even so, officials with good friendships occasionally whispered and exchanged their opinions, such as Xu Jingzong's nickname.

Xu Jingzong is a well-known person in the government and the opposition for being too bad, as long as he receives money, he will do things is even more well-known, and no one pursued one thing after another in the past, but now when people die, countless voices suddenly came out. At a certain agreed court meeting, a little-known Taichang doctor Yuan Sigu jumped out.

"Respect the throne to be promoted to talent, live in the Qing level, abandon the eldest son in the wilderness, and marry a girl in Yiluo. Hearing "Poetry" and learning "Rites", things are absolutely in court; Nacai asked for a name, only heard of the goods. Bai Guisi is defiled, there is a tired dust, and the name is changed. Subject to implementation. According to the law, "the name and the truth are said to be Miao", please be "Miao". ”

Although these words are extremely mean, in all fairness, they have not wronged Xu Jingzong. Drunken Dew Academy failed to do a trivial matter, so he forced his eldest son and eldest grandson to be exiled. In order to covet other people's dowry, he married his daughter to Yidi, and other accusations of character are also well-founded. However, if he heard this normally, maybe Li Xian would laugh it off, but now that someone has just died, someone jumped out and said, he couldn't help but be angry in his heart - where did you all run away in normal times?

He, an outsider, is very angry, not to mention the Xu family, although Xu Yanbo is also dissatisfied with his grandfather, he has no reason to smear him to the Xu family, but he doesn't do it. can only accuse Yuan Sigu and the Xu family of having a grudge, this is the practice of communiqué personal vendetta, and request to change the official.

Naturally, such baseless accusations are useless. Other Dr. Taichang also came out to help their colleagues. Now, for the sake of the number problem. The whole court was in chaos.

Because of this, no one noticed that Empress Wu, the queen of the emperor, had a pale face, and Li Xian, the emperor's younger brother, gritted his teeth. Of course. Even if you notice. "Not afraid of power", the doctors will not back down from this. This Taichang Temple usually has no real power. The greatest real power lies in the coffin to determine the name of the coffin. Thinking about Su Dingfang's merits at the beginning, he was still called Zhuang - that is, powerful but not fierce. Needless to say, Xu Jingzong is such a bastard with no character.

Because Xu Jingzong lived too long, most of the officials who were still in the court now have a relationship with him. Shangguan Yi and Hao Chujun are in the middle and say a few words of admonition is a big problem, and they need to be considered more, Pei Yan and Liu Yizhi have the heart to help, the problem is that this is a matter of Taichang Temple, and the prime minister's intervention is not conducive to his reputation.

As for the other people who have the intention to curry favor with the martial arts, they have tried, but those Dr. Taichang are all sharp and sharp, and a certain Shangshu of the household department personally came forward but touched his nose full of ashes, and the others suddenly refused to go on again.

Although Li Xian can understand this kind of behavior of settling accounts after death, understanding does not mean that he can accept it, after all, this old man Xu is not an irrelevant person, he is someone's grandson-in-law. Drunken Dew Academy, if Xu Jingzong was scolded why Gao Yang Miao Gong, wouldn't he have a lot of face? So, Taichang Temple sent a number, and he went back with a big stroke.

The province of Shangshu more than five products to reconsider!

Although he has been in charge of the country twice this year, Li Xian, the prince, is basically very easy to speak, and those who can pass the political hall will definitely be able to pass his pass, so in addition to both civil and military affairs, he has a good reputation for being kind and flowing. Therefore, no one thought that he would be so bossy this time, and those Dr. Taichang were no exception.

It wasn't until this time that someone remembered a question - Li Xian was Xu Jingzong's grandson-in-law!

Half of the people jumping up and down the ground were reduced in one day. It's a good thing to stick to principles, but that's the duty of the officials of Taichang Temple, what does it matter to others? If you jump too happily and cause someone to be disgusted, and then give you a pair of small shoes to wear, or even go to Lingnan to count the stars, this is all

Why should you get along with yourself when you expect it? In this kind of passivity, the number of officials took a back seat, and they were ready to watch the great drama of Dr. Taichang vs the emperor's brother.

At this moment, Li Zhi suddenly became "sick", and Li Hong suddenly became not "refreshed", and they all withdrew from the center of this controversy. Li Zhi couldn't cope with his wife's pillow wind and courtiers' quarrels, so he simply threw out the decision-making power; Li Hong saw that his father had withdrawn, and it seemed to be a little obstructive for him to stay there, so he took a back seat.

After getting such news, although Li Xian inevitably scolded his father and brother in his heart for only knowing how to leave the burden, he also had vigilance in his heart - this is already high enough for Xu Jingzong's treatment after his death, and if he fights too the issue of nicknames, it seems that it will not be good for the living and the dead, as long as he can get by. However, this seems to be just wishful thinking on his part.

At the small court meeting specially designed to give Xu Jingzong a confession, Empress Wu attended with a gloomy face and refuted the five successive nicknames with overwhelming words. For a while, a heavy pressure suddenly pressed on everyone's hearts, and even Li Xian felt that the atmosphere was a little breathless.

Today, the people who can attend are all officials of the fifth rank or above, and in terms of age, they are basically in their forties and fifties, and the majority of them are old. However, Lao Cheng's seriousness does not mean that there is no blood, and there is more than one person who holds his neck on the bull, as if he has forgotten those miserable and miserable colleagues who went to Lingnan in the past. However, some people wanted to stand up and make a round, but they had no choice but to give the queen of martial arts such a sweep of the phoenix eyes, so they had to weigh and shrink back.

The death of Xu Jingzong was enough to annoy Empress Wu, and now a cat and a dog still dare to stumble on this issue, how can she not feel as uncomfortable as eating a fly in her heart?

Empress Wu sat behind Li Xian, so not only those officials received the cold gaze of Empress Taishang, but even Li Xian himself could not be spared, and it was as uncomfortable as it was behind it. Sensing that the atmosphere seemed to be gradually developing towards a stiff aspect, he had to cough and say a few casual words, which were nothing more than puns on the kind of justice to be a man.

Fair? What Xu Jingzong did was called justice?

Many officials are scolding in their hearts, however, many people vaguely feel that if they can't agree on a "fair" name today, they don't know that they will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to get out of this hall, and it is estimated that they will starve to death first. Moreover, Empress Wu's eyes are too frightening. Some people even thought of Chu Suiliang, who was pushed out in the past and never went back, and thought of the group of lonely ministers of Taizong Tuo in the past, and immediately snorted a few times.

The lesser of two evils is better to back down a little.

So, in the midst of the noise and shouting, I reluctantly settled on the word "Gong". Gong has many meanings: respect and righteousness; Respect for the above; Respect the virtuous and let the Gong be respected; Can you change your ...... The reason given by a certain minister is nothing more than that he can change his name after passing it. This is an acceptable word for Empress Wu, and Li Xian already wants to burn high incense to celebrate Xu Jingzong.

Damn Old Man Xu, if it weren't for your poor popularity, how could you give people such a good opportunity in the future! I want to think how refreshing Li Jiding was when he was called, and the word Zhenwu was almost unanimously approved!

This dragged on from morning to afternoon, and a group of ministers were all hungry, and even Li Xian himself was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back. It was easy to solve the matter, he felt that he was worthy of the friendship with Xu Jingzong, and after the meeting, he wanted to slip away, however, this person was intercepted by the Empress Wu before he succeeded.

It was also at the court meeting just now that he did not eat a drop of water and rice, but Empress Wu didn't seem to feel hungry. When only the mother and son were left, she lost the scruples she had just had in front of people, and her eyebrows rose with a sneer.

"You also persuaded me that I don't have to worry about the matter of the eldest grandson's reinstatement, look at these people now, if it weren't for the fact that they had a basis, how could they be so presumptuous! Everyone knows what Xu Jingzong has done in the past, and everyone knows that I treat him differently from others, but I made trouble in this matter, and it is clear that I will not save face for the queen Taishang! They thought your father regretted it, so I couldn't help them, okay, good! ”

Li Xian didn't know that his mother was already furious, and the martial queen who was bound to repay her could tolerate this kind of provocation, which was a strange thing. However, for the sake of his own life, he still had to try to dissipate his resentment. But it backfired, it was easy to say that it was three points, and Ah Qian staggered in the door to report the most bad news.

Mrs. Rongguo's Yang family is sick, and she has already gone!

Whether it is the daughter of Empress Wu or the grandson of Li Xian, they have not seen her for the last time.
