Chapter 542: Finding Yourself Unhappy
Li Shimin named his grandson Li Ju, the original meaning of the word is to hold his breath and exert force, quarrying stones in the cliff, which can also be understood as stones, and the stones that are mined vigorously mean that they are very important.
The original meaning of this word, and the extended meaning are very meaningful, but the key meaning that Li Shimin wants to take this name is a sentence in Xunzi, and Zhibi, the well is also, and the jade man is the treasure of the Son of Heaven. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Ju, the Li family's and the family's bi, unpondered looks like a stone in a well, but in fact it is a piece of jade, after carving, it is the best jade and the bi, as the treasure of the son of heaven.
This implication is quite worthy of the identity of Prince Li Ju's son-in-law.
The ancient people took the name with the most important meaning, just like Li Shimin's name, taking the meaning of helping the world and the people, and the name of the people is the feeling of being proper and lofty.
Another example is Li Chengqian, Li Shimin has many sons, but they are all single-word names, but Li Chengqian is a two-word name, although there is a reason why he was born in Chengqian Palace, but more is to inherit the imperial industry, the meaning of the commander-in-chief. Qiankun is heaven and earth, and heaven and earth are rivers and mountains.
Li Ju's name represents his grandfather, his father's ardent expectations for him, hoping that he can become a superb jade like He's Bi, He's Bi is the heirloom jade seal, and the jade seal is the throne on behalf of him, hoping that he will become He's Bi, that is, hoping that he can be an emperor in the future and be a good emperor.
gave his grandson a good name with a good meaning, and Li Shimin gave amnesty to the world, so that the prisoners in the world were condemned to the first degree.
This is not the end, after the prisoner is condemned to the first degree, the son who is above the fifth rank of the internal and external official service is also given the father, and each of them is given a medal and transferred.
Lordships and titles are different, and they are also different from actual positions. Xun Gui Xun Gui, the Xun here is the representative of the Lord, that is, the loose official, the civil and military loose official.
This is the same as the medals of later generations, representing status and status, with rank but no real power.
In the beginning, the rank was awarded to those who had meritorious military service, and it was a military position. is like the twelve turns of the Celestial Commander in Mulan's words, and the reward of hundreds of thousands of strong people is what he said.
There are regulations on how much military merit has been made, how much is a first-turn military merit, and how much is a second-turn military merit.
This system of recording military exploits and awards originated in the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, just like the twelve turns of the Mulan speech, the total number of officers is twelve turns.
One was transferred to a military cavalry captain, compared to the seventh grade; the second is transferred to the cloud cavalry captain, which is more than the seventh grade; Three to the flying cavalry lieutenant, than from the sixth grade; The fourth turn is Xiao Cavalry Captain, which is more than the sixth grade.......... Eleven turned into a pillar country, than from the second grade; Twelve turned into the upper pillar country, than the second grade.
Like Li Yuan's grandfather, Li Shimin's Taizu Li Hu was one of the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty and was named the Duke of Tang.
The origin of the name of the Tang Dynasty is because of Li Hu's knighthood, and then Li Yuan is also the Duke of Tang Guo.
Then the Guanlong aristocracy was composed of small military groups such as the Eight Pillars State alongside Li Hu, and it was also an important reason why Li Yuan was able to win the world.
At that time, the title was available for both civil and military purposes, but the title could only be done with military merits, so at that time, the title was higher than the gold content of the title.
So at that time, the Pillar State and the Shangzhu State were all princes of the side who held military power.
But later, due to the promotion of a large number of meritorious soldiers, this kind of real power military position gradually evolved into a loose officer without a position.
Li Shimin ordered the internal and external officials to serve as the father and the son, and the addition of the rank and the other is this kind of nominal and unreal loose official, but the status has been improved, but the real power is not much.
It is precisely because of this that Li Shimin was able to upgrade all the conditions above the five grades to a higher level. This condition is that the Son is the Father.
What does that mean, that is, the son who inherits the family business is qualified for this.
For example, if you are the eldest son, the family business is inherited by you, and your official position is enough to be more than five grades, then your lord can be promoted, if you don't inherit the family business, then I'm sorry you are not eligible to be promoted.
For example, if you are a concubine, you are not qualified to inherit the family business, but your family does not have a son-in-law, and you must inherit the family business.
That is to say, the qualifications for the promotion of the rank of the honorable officer this time are not divided according to the concubine, but according to whether they will inherit the family business.
Take Wu Yuanqing as an example, he is the eldest son of the martial family, originally he inherited the family business, but after he was knighted, Li Shimin basically let him set up another door, and the family business of the martial family, as well as the title of Wu Shiyi, were inherited by his younger brother Wu Yuanshuang in the future.
Then this time the honorable officer will not have Wu Yuanqing's business, his younger brother Wu Yuanshuang is enough for this qualification, and he can only be an official above the fifth grade.
In addition to the amnesty of the world and the promotion of a number of loose officials above the fifth grade, Li Shimin, who was happy, also ordered the world to drink for five days, that is, to allow people in the world to drink for five days.
Well, just like a holiday, the meaning of celebrating all over the world, everyone eats and drinks together to celebrate.
And Li Shimin personally feasted officials above the fifth grade in the East Palace, and the banquet official Li Shimin did for a long time, the key is the place of the banquet, since Li Shimin moved out of the East Palace, there has been no banquet for officials in the East Palace, and the banquet is also Li Chengqian's banquet in the East Palace, because the East Palace is the territory of the prince.
Now the banquet in the East Palace is to tell the hundred officials that the banquet is because the imperial grandson was born, not because of anything else, is a means for Li Shimin to show that he attaches great importance to his grandson.
During the banquet, Li Shimin rewarded Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng with a saber each, and said: "Before Zhenguan year, follow me to seize and govern the world, with Xuanling, Keming's credit is the greatest." Since Zhenguan, correcting my mistakes is mainly due to Wei Zheng. ”
There is no problem here, but Li Shimin was a little proud as soon as he drank too much wine, and asked Wei Zheng very proudly: "How does my governance of national politics compare with previous years?"
Li Shimin means that you see that the Tang Dynasty has become stronger and stronger in recent years, expanding its territory for thousands of miles, I have not only kept the family business of my ancestors, but also greatly expanded a lot, and the country is rich and strong, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there is no threat to the frontier, is I much more powerful than before, your old thing has always said that I am not right here, not right there, and now I see this, is it time to praise me?
Li Shimin wanted to seek recognition and praise from Wei Zheng, but unfortunately he forgot what kind of character Wei Zheng was.
As a result, Wei Zheng added to him, Wei Zheng said: "Weide is added to the Quartet, which is far more than the early years of Zhenguan; The people's hearts are not as good as before. “
Li Shimin's face darkened, but he had to ask the question himself while kneeling, so he said breathlessly: "The distant people are afraid of the emperor's prestige and envy the holy virtues, so they come to submit, if it is not as good as before, then why is this?"
Wei Zheng said lightly: "Your Majesty used to worry about the failure of the world to govern, so he paid attention to cultivating virtue and doing righteousness, and made new deeds every day, but now he is governed and more stable, so he is not as diligent as before."
Li Shimin asked again: "What is the difference between what we are doing now is the same as in previous years?"
"Your Majesty was afraid that his subordinates would not give advice in the early years of Zhenguan, so he often guided them to admonish, and when he heard it, he listened to it happily. Now it is not the case, although it is reluctant to obey, but its face is difficult. That's the difference. His Majesty had wanted to kill Lawyer Yuan before, but Sun Fujia thought that it was not appropriate to execute him according to the law, and His Majesty gave him Princess Lanling's garden, which was worth one million. Some people say, 'The reward is too heavy,' and His Majesty says, 'I have not heard anyone who has been admonished since I was on the throne, so I should give a heavy reward.' This is to guide the people to do what they do. Sihu Liuxiong pretended to be an official grant from the Sui Dynasty, and His Majesty wanted to kill him, but he took Dai Guan's advice and gave up. This is an example of pleasure and obedience. In the eighth year of Zhenguan, Huangfu De wrote to discourage the repair of Luoyang Palace, His Majesty was resentful in his heart, although he gave up because of my direct persuasion, but he only reluctantly obeyed. ”
Wei Zheng's words are reasonable, and Li Shimin's face is red, of course, he may also be drinking, after all, the emperor should be very thick-skinned.
But what Wei Zheng said is not as reasonable, Fang Xuanling and they all nodded secretly, and besides, I just said that Zhenguan Year, correcting the emperor's mistakes is mainly the credit of Wei Zheng, and now that Wei Zheng has said it, it can't be said that what people say is wrong or ignore it, otherwise wouldn't it be a slap in the face?
Helpless, Li Shimin could only put on a very sincere appearance of listening to the advice and said: "Non-public people can't do this." People don't know their own ears! “
Well, it's another harmonious scene of gentlemen and ministers.
