Chapter 511: Recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors
Empress Dowager Mu's thoughts are really hard to guess.
Yao Wenzhi and others are also in turmoil now, and now that the DPRK has encountered such a big change, it is not an exaggeration to say that it has shaken the country.
However, Yao Wenzhi and the others had nothing to question, but at this time they were busy saying: "Please ask the mother to command." ”
Empress Dowager Mu knows that she is a little impulsive now, and when such an accident happens, no matter what, she will first see what Liu Bi has to ask for it, so as to protect the safety of King Zhao, the Empress Dowager and others.
But now she can't manage so much, her heart is painful, and there is only one thought in her mind, that is, Chen Kai's death.
Her son died.
The revenge of killing the son will be avenged.
She must not let go of Liu Bi and these people, so she clasped her hands tightly together, her face became more and more pale and bloodless, but at this moment she knew that she couldn't be too excited, so she took a deep breath, tried to calm her grief, and looked around everyone with a pair of misty eyes before she said slowly.
"In any case, this Chen Xiu, it's a pity, this time he went to meet the car, encountered the thief army, must be desperate, want to try his best to maintain the Empress Dowager's thoughtfulness, mourning family can almost imagine, he ............" Empress Dowager Mu tried her best to speak in a calm and calm tone, but her voice was still can't help choking: "It is conceivable that he must have been surrounded by thieves in the end and died of exhaustion, this ...... It's my Da Chen's loyalty. ”
At this time...... The Queen Mother only cared about Chen Kaizhi.
The four bachelors were suspicious.
Doesn't it matter if the Empress Dowager or King Zhao is?
Or maybe the Empress Dowager Mu is unwilling to touch the real sadness, or the Empress Dowager and His Royal Highness King Zhao, after all, are not dead, and it is too early to talk about them now.
So the crowd listened patiently.
Empress Dowager Mu thought of the picture of Chen Kaizhi's tragic death, and her emotions began to get out of control again, she sniffed hard, restrained the sadness in her heart, and the tears in her eyes, and then continued: "Like such a loyal minister, mourning the family to this day, I still remember the articles he wrote, the merits he made, now, he died loyally in battle, can we just be indifferent and forget him?" ”
"Meritorious service is not rewarded, this is against the way of heaven."
Yao Wenzhi and everyone nodded: "What Niangniang said is good, there is merit to be rewarded, and there is a punishment for mistakes." ”
Now everyone is following Empress Dowager Mu's thoughts, this is indeed not the time to anger Feng Yan.
Empress Dowager Mu's eyes flashed, and she asked with a very serious face: "So, how to reward?" ”
"This ......" Even Chen Yishou, who was most distressed by Chen Kaizhi at this time, hesitated at this time, and now the situation is still unknown, and it is really inappropriate to rush to reward.
Moreover, why did Empress Dowager Mu only care about Chen Kai alone, he was in a mess, and couldn't help but say: "Please make a clear decision." ”
"Okay." Empress Dowager Mu suppressed the grief in her heart: "Since you don't say it, then the mourning family will come personally, since it is a reward, this Chen Kaizhi, after all, he is a national surname, he has been orphaned since he was a child, but according to what he said, he is from the Yingchuan Chen family, according to the opinion of the mourning family, other rewards are inevitably stingy, so simply put him into the clan." ”
Belong to the clan.
Everyone was stunned.
I have not heard of such a reward.
However, at the time of the founding of the country, Emperor Taizu Gao gave the surname several times, but that was a long time ago, but now, a person surnamed Chen is directly included in the clan.
You must know that Da Chen's management of the clan is extremely strict, and this clan is divided into clans and clans.
In order to prevent the problem of too many royal descendants of Da Chen, Emperor Taizu Gao had already decreed that the Chen family would be divided into two, and the relatives within five generations would be the clan, not only the imperial court would provide for them, but also give them a privileged status, and even the emperor could rely on them to govern the world.
The relatives outside the five generations are classified into the clan surname, the so-called clan surname, just the surname Chen, and there is no special preferential treatment, of course, often because the ancestors are clans, there will be more or less residual shade, but in addition to these, there is no preferential treatment.
In this way, it actually avoids a problem.
The problem is that as the population of the clan increases, if everyone enjoys the preferential treatment of the clan, then the clan will snowball, and this will pay off. For example, now, the clan is maintained at about 3,000 people, which is a relative within five generations, and these people are the real nobles of Tianhuang, some of them have entered the court to watch politics, some have served in the army, and some have opened houses in the local government, which has infiltrated all aspects of Dachen, but has also become the backbone of Dachen.
But how many surnames are there in Da Chen now, according to the statistics of the household register, there are 390,000 people, these people are also after Emperor Taizu Gao, since 500 years ago, when Emperor Taizu Gao was there, the bloodline that has been passed down from generation to generation, if it is not so divided, then these people have also become the clan that enjoys worship, nearly 400,000 people, I am afraid that Da Chen's family will have been eaten up a long time ago.
Therefore, by now, many people in Dachen have remembered the foresight of Emperor Taizu Gao, and if there is no national policy, Da Chen is afraid that he would have been overwhelmed.
Chen Kai's surname is Chen, and he claims to be from Yingchuan, although his family's genealogy is no longer examinable, but it is not a lie, because there are so many surnames in the world, there is really no need to deceive people, but to promote from the clan surname to the clan, this ...... Obviously there is something wrong, this is to build a new yellow book and enter the temple.
Just before hesitating, Empress Dowager Mu said: "In this matter, the mourning family just wants to ask you what you mean, you can say whatever you want." ”
Yao Wenzhi is enlightened: "The old minister thinks that this matter is understandable, Chen Kaizhi is not only a scholar, but also an article into the Heavenly Pavilion, and he is more loyal to the imperial court. ”
He was the first to take a stand.
In fact, this is a very simple truth, if Chen Kaizhi is still alive, he will not dare to agree, but Chen Kaizhi is dead, death is great, and he has not left any descendants, the so-called entering the clan, and it is impossible to enjoy the treatment of the clan, at most, that is, to find his bones, go to the small mausoleum around the imperial tomb for burial, the rest, will not have any impact on the imperial court, and as for the Zongling Mansion, it obviously doesn't matter, it should be a posthumous seal, what does it matter?
The living cannot be reconciled with the dead.
What's more, Empress Dowager Mu is in a heavy mood now, and there is really no need to object.
As soon as they saw Yao Wenzhi nodding, the other bachelors were not easy to disobey, and said one after another: "The ministers seconded the proposal." ”
Empress Dowager Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief, her child is dead, no matter what, she should let him recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, now his body has not been found, and he can't take the liberty of recognizing him, but at least, he first determines the identity of Chen Kai's clan, and the clan can give the first emperor and himself some comfort.
She sighed: "Then let's order the mansion of the Sect Decree Mansion to come here." ”
Empress Dowager Mu's behavior was very strange, and she seemed to be very urgent about this, for fear that this matter would eventually fail.
Zhang Jing understood the Empress Dowager's thoughts very well, and he felt very uncomfortable, but he had to hold back, he knew that the Empress Dowager was planning for her children and the future of her posthumous affairs, and became a clan, so that she could be buried in the cemetery, and even the Empress Dowager could even make her buried near the mausoleum of the first emperor, and as for the recognition of each other, you can take it slowly, but the next funeral is not in a hurry.
He nodded hurriedly: "The slave will go and please." ”
After a while, Chen Wu, the Zongzheng of the Zongling Mansion, came in, this Chen Wu was an auxiliary general in the clan, and he saluted first: "I've seen Niangniang." ”
He glanced at it and saw that several cabinet scholars were there, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, under normal circumstances, the affairs of the clan were handled by the Zongling Mansion, and the political affairs handled by the cabinet had nothing to do with it, why did he suddenly summon himself at this time, and a eunuch passed Liu Bi's letter to him, he opened it and looked, but his body trembled, and then his eyes were red, and tears came out of his eyes: "Old ancestor, old ancestor...... The Empress Dowager is an old man...... Oh my God......"
Immediately, he fell to the ground and wept profusely.
Empress Dowager Mu looked at him coldly: "Repair Chen Kaizhi, died to protect the Empress Dowager, and now people are panicking, it is time to reward loyal people, only in this way can people know that when the country is in trouble, the court will never be cold, don't you say?" ”
"Yes, yes." This Chen Wu was in turmoil.
Empress Dowager Mu said again: "The mourning family intends to let Chen Kaizhi be included in the clan, what do you think?" ”
"Ah......" Chen Wu's face turned pale, this was something that had never happened before, and he couldn't help but say: "But Niangniang, Chen Xiuxian, is already dead." ”
Suddenly, he came to his senses, yes, he was dead.
At this time, if he opposes it, not only will the Queen Mother not like it, but she will inevitably be poked in the back of the back, which is so unkind. After all, this is just a gesture, Chen Kaizhi is alive, this thing is as difficult as ascending to the sky, even if the Queen Mother forces herself, she will never dare to set this precedent, otherwise the clans will not tear themselves apart, but now...... But it's very different, everyone is dead, and Chen Kaizhi has no heirs, so he promised to come down, what are you afraid of. He did not hesitate to say: "Niangniang Shengming, Chen Kaizhi is eight or nine out of ten, is the surname of the clan, and he must be the descendant of Emperor Taizu Gao, and now he has made great contributions, and he is both civil and military during his lifetime, which is admirable. ”
Empress Dowager Mu's heart sank to the extreme, but she still couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, she seemed to get a little comfort in her heart, she secretly made up her mind, first posthumously recognized it as a clan, and when the time was ripe, she would recognize this son, no matter what, she would not let this child be wronged in life, and let people practice it after death.
"Then, you immediately go and prepare a silver plate, and include him in the Yellow Book of the Zongling Mansion, the cabinet here, prepare the will, today, it will be promulgated and announced to the world!"
