Chapter 258: Nicknamed Huiwen
After Zhang Xiao's questioning, the ministers below whispered, and when Empress Dowager Zhao saw this, she coughed lightly and said: "The king's words are infallible!" The nickname was made when King Zhou Gong was born, and it has been the same since then! but for the son to discuss the father, and the minister to discuss the king! Where is the celebrity? ”
Empress Dowager Zhao spoke and asked the official because! There are two main points in the legal system: one is that the name should be in accordance with the deceased's personality, and the other is that the name is assessed and awarded by others after death. The name of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info monarch is determined by the ceremonial official and announced by the new king!
As soon as Empress Dowager Zhao asked, the ministers immediately walked out of the twilight old minister, stood up in a trembling tone and said, "The ceremonial official Meng Yuxuan has seen the king, the queen mother!"
When Empress Dowager Zhao saw that it was an old minister, she immediately gestured to the eunuch beside her and said, "Quickly sit down with the official of ceremonies!" After listening to the words of the Queen Mother, the ceremonial official Meng Yuxuan immediately echoed: "Back to the Queen Mother, the king, the minister is the ceremonial official, and now it is the name taken by the previous king, and it is over!" And now the ministers and other officials are according to the "Book of Zhou: The Interpretation of the Law"! ”
The formation of the nickname system is based on the Zhou metric system mentioned in the "Book of Zhou: The Interpretation of the Law". The so-called nickname is to use one or two words to make a general evaluation of a person's life, which can be regarded as a final conclusion.
And the king's nickname is derived from the courtesy of the son and the father, and the minister and the king, and evaluates and discusses according to the achievements of his life! They have the official ethics that they should have as ceremonial officials! Write straight and comment on what you say!
At this time, the ceremonial officials were by no means like the continued concentration of the king's power in later generations! The ceremonial officials were afraid of the imperial power step by step, and gradually became vassals of the imperial power! For the evaluation of a generation of monarchs, the evil slander becomes flat......
In the feudal dynasty where imperial power was constantly concentrated, the ceremonial officials were reduced to vassals of imperial power, and those in power were reduced to the jokes of the world than when Song Zhenzong was talked!
At that time, in order to enshrine Mount Tai, Zhenzong found an opportunity to invite the then ceremonial officials and prime ministers to drink. After the banquet, he gave them a jar of wine, so that the official and the prime minister could go home and enjoy themselves with their wives and children. And when I got home, I opened the wine jar and saw that it was actually a jar of crystal clear pearls!
Therefore, the ceremonial officials at that time shut up on the matter of sealing Zen. As the supreme ruler of the Great Song Empire, who wanted wind and rain, in order to be able to make such a "great achievement" as Fengzen Taishan, he actually had to pay bribes to his ministers. Song Zhenzong's Zen sealing activity completed the last Zen sealing ceremony in Chinese history, and it was also the most controversial one.
And the ceremonial officials in the pre-Qin period, compared with the ceremonial officials when the imperial power was constantly strengthened, they had grown up in a relaxed environment under the co-rule of the Son of Heaven! The relative freedom of speech makes the conclusion of a king's coffin entirely up to their family!
For example, during the reign of King Zhou Li, he appointed Rong Yigong to implement a "patent", that is, to monopolize the mountains, forests, rivers and rivers in the name of the state, and did not allow the people to make a living from the mountains. He violated the rules and regulations of the Zhou people to enjoy the mountains, forests, rivers and rivers to benefit the people's livelihood. caused the people to rebel, and in the end, the ceremonial officials were based on the actions of King Zhou during his lifetime, and he was called King Li. And Li, Ling, and Yang are all evil, and they really give evil to King Zhou without the slightest scruples!
The ceremonial official Meng Yuxuan said that according to the "Book of Zhou: The Interpretation of the Law", Zhang Xiao knew that his father was the king, although he had an indelible stain on his life about the martial spirit king! But during the period of his rule, he still achieved a clear government and a clear government, and introduced Yayan! In the end, I said: Huiwen! It is the same name as King Qin Huiwen, the Qin monarch who guarded the results of the law change after the Qin State changed the law!
And the Empress Dowager Zhao, who came with her, was a little nervous at the moment! The ceremonial officials who are directly in charge of the title are a group of ministers who are not afraid of death, and they cannot be coerced or lured! It's really like a stone in a pit, smelly and hard! Once the name of the monarch is spoken, it cannot be easily changed, unless you can say it in such a way as to convince the official to re-evaluate it!
Meng Yuxuan saw the Empress Dowager Zhao on the throne, his eyes did not leave him, and he was anxiously waiting for his words! Meng Yuxuan bowed to the surroundings of the hall to show respect for heaven and earth, and his words were sincere!
After a small ceremony, Meng Yuxuan bowed in front of the Queen Mother and said, "Your Majesty, Queen Mother!" The ministers said in the "Book of Zhou: The Explanation of the Law": Love the people is good and good, and it is said to be giving. Be diligent and ask questions, and don't be ashamed to ask. There are several ministers and officials, please say that the king said: Huiwen! ”
After the ceremonial official's words, the Queen Mother settled down! What she was most afraid of was that the ceremonial official would cling to King Huiwen's death of his father in the Dune Palace back then, and now that she was listening to the praise of the ceremonial official, how could she not be happy?
However, the words of the ceremonial officials are indeed evaluated based on the merits of King Zhao Huiwen's life! Love the people and say favor, and say giving. Be diligent and ask questions, and don't be ashamed to ask. King Zhao Huiwen developed the Zhao national economy all his life and treated the people leniently! The capital of Handan in Zhao has become a metropolis in the world for a while, and the world is prosperous!
And above the court, King Zhao Huiwen is even more discerning, and the eunuch Ling Changxian recommended Lin Xiangru is also reused by him, and Ma Fujun Zhao Hao is promoted by King Zhao himself, and even his violent temper is deeply impressed by King Zhao's personality charm! All of a sudden, Zhao State's famous ministers and generals came out one after another, and between the world, no one dared to be an enemy!
And the ministers below, after listening to the "praise" of the courtesy. Pingyuan Jun stood up immediately, which involved the name of his royal brother before and after, he didn't dare to be confused, and immediately exclaimed: "To the king, the queen mother, what the official said today, the minister has no objection!" The merits of the first king's life, the four seas are leveled, and the people of the world are grateful to my king! Deserve the ridicule of "Huiwen"! ”
With Pingyuan Jun in front of him, among the next ministers, they all knelt down and said: "The ministers are all attached to Pingyuan Jun's words, and the first king should be a speaker: Hui Wenye!" ”
Looking at the replies of the ministers below, the first king said: Huiwen's number! Although the Empress Dowager Zhao knows that there is a bit of sleek and sophisticated place above the court! But she was happy to listen to the words of praise, and for a while, she couldn't help but cry!
King Zhao Huiwen knew that his throne was a little stained, and throughout his life, he was conscientiously handling court affairs! Now, when he left, when his life was decided, his life's hard work was really rewarded!
Zhang Xiao sat on the throne and looked at the words of the ministers below, and then shouted loudly: "With the words of the courtesy official, the king of the first king is: Huiwen ......"
