readx;

Liu Chengfeng lived in the palace for several days, and he could still support it at first, first participated in the discussion of the establishment of the name and the new monarch's year name, whether it was a name or an era name, it was a prudent matter, the cabinet side drew up a Chen, Liu Chengfeng was as a representative of the palace, he didn't nod, and the cabinet side was not easy to decide. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Now the Queen Mother and Huang Yanjing are in a blur, so in a sense, the cabinet also acquiesced to Liu Chengfeng's identity as the representative of the palace.

The nickname proposed by the cabinet is: Da Tianming Dao Pure Sincerity Zhongzheng Shengwen Shenwu Zhiren Dade Jing Emperor, and the temple name is Emperor Xiaozong, at this point, the cabinet is still very sincere, not to mention the nickname, this nickname alone is enough to show that the cabinet has a high evaluation of Zhu Youzhang.

The emperor's name in the past, some of the emperors who have been as most of them are Wuzong, Wenzong, Xiaozong, etc., the most appropriate temple name of Zhu Youzhu is the most appropriate temple name for Wen, after all, Xiaozong is indeed the emperor of the Ming Dynasty who implements the rule of the world with scholars, and at the same time, during his tenure, he did give a lot of preferential treatment to scholars, and set up a large number of schools, so that Hanlin edited many books. It's just that the Ming Dynasty already has Emperor Wen, so you can only choose other temple numbers.

Liu Chengfeng took the name and temple number drawn up by the ministers to the Queen Mother to discuss, the Queen Mother is not concerned about everything now, but she is still quite concerned about this matter, and after confirming the meaning of the name and the temple number, she immediately nodded.

In fact, this time the cooperation between the cabinet and Liu Chengfeng can be described as very smooth, almost no one has any branches, whether it is Liu Chengfeng or the cabinet put forward any opinions, both sides feel fair and to the point, and there is no objection, as soon as the queen mother agrees, the will will will be immediately drawn up, and the world will hear it, and next, the name of the new emperor has also been finalized, saying: Zhengde. Taken from Kong Yingdashu, the thirty-second grandson of the Confucian sage: "Those who are righteous are righteous in their own virtues, and those who are in the top position are governing the people by themselves." ”

This Zhengde two words Liu Chengfeng is also satisfied, and the meaning seems to be passable, but Liu Chengfeng feels behind his back that the cabinet proposed this era name, a bit of a bend and curse people, the Chinese have a saying called what is lacking to make up for something, and Zhengde means to correct one's own virtue, only one's own virtue is correct, can be in the top position to govern the world. The most important point here is to correct oneself, to put it bluntly, the subtext is that the new emperor's virtue is not enough, and he must first correct himself before he can govern others.

If it is more easy to understand, it means that the new emperor lacks virtue, and this disease can be cured!

When he thought of this, Liu Chengfeng had already been pitted by the cabinet, because at the beginning, he didn't chew anything out of this text, plus he thought that Zhu Houzhao in history was indeed the year name of Zhengde, so he didn't delve into it, thinking that there was nothing wrong with this era name, under this preconceived concept, he soon reached an agreement with the cabinet, and the cabinet had already drafted a decree and sent it to the celebrant for approval, and the matter went smoothly, but after Liu Chengfeng felt that he had been pitted, he was helpless. Now that the will has been settled, it is about to be announced to the world, in this case, if he pokes things out, he will only end up being laughed at by the world, but this kind of thing is exposed, and the final humiliation is not the cabinet, but the emperor, so even if he is put on a table, he can only knock out his front teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

The emperor has just ascended the throne, and he was scolded severely, Liu Chengfeng felt very cheating, these scholars are really a bad stomach, think about it, the name of the year before Zhengde, which is not both majestic and far-reaching, just say that the emperor of Daxing, the meaning of Hongzhi is excellent, it can be seen that this scholar in the Hongzhi Dynasty is really raised, so that now even the temple number dares to make up his mind.

Liu Chengfeng never believed that those bachelors from Shu Jishi would not be able to see the scolding of Zheng Delhi, they would definitely be able to see the clues, but they still strongly recommended it, either they wanted to put Zhu Houzhao together and give Zhu Houzhao a dismount, or they hoped to use this era name to beat Zhu Houzhao, the subtext is: Your Majesty lacks virtue, you need to make up for virtue, the emperors of all dynasties have made up for it, and you will be sent to you.

This incident was very unpleasant, Liu Chengfeng saw it, originally thought that Zhu Houzhao couldn't see it, but who knew that when he went to see Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao lost his temper there, he waved his small fists, gritted his teeth, cracked his eyes and bared his teeth, eager to devour the cabinet and those ministers alive, and couldn't help roaring: "How dare they bully me like this, how long has my father been gone, they are so unscrupulous, hum, deceive people too much, deceive people too much." ”

Originally, his father died, Zhu Houzhao's mood was very bad, he had been depressed for the past few days, and his emotions could not be vented, but now because of this year name, Zhu Houzhao was half angry and half dead, and at this time, he naturally broke out all his grievances and anger.

The first blue and white porcelain vase in the hall was shattered, Zhu Houzhao scolded, and at this time, several of his companions in the East Palace also entered the palace, and Liu Jin, the most favored companion, stood aside, not daring to come out.

Liu Chengfeng came in, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help frowning.

Zhu Houzhao saw him, hurriedly greeted him, and said, "Master Liu...... Master Liu, you came just in time, do you know about the year name? They deceived people too much, and before my father's bones were cold, they were impatient to clean up and the queen mother, and bullied our orphans and widows......"

Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but smile bitterly, but ignored Zhu Houzhao, but glanced at Liu Jin sternly, and said, "Who said that you heard from Your Majesty about this matter?" ”

Liu Jin originally had a sneer, but at this time his face turned a little blue with fright, looking at this appearance, most of the time the matter of this year name has already been reacted to in the market, Liu Jin quietly brought in the discussion outside, and he looked forward to Ai Ai's words: "The slave should die." ”

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but say: "Liu Banban shouldn't die, it's the ministers of the cabinet and the six ministries who should die." ”

Liu Chengfeng still ignored Zhu Houzhao, and said to Liu Jin: "Go, bring a dustpan and a broom." ”

Liu Jin was most afraid of Liu Chengfeng, and hurriedly went to bring these two things, Liu Chengfeng took a broom to clean the broken porcelain in the hall, Zhu Houzhao didn't know what he was doing with this slave, he was confused, but his anger was not supported by Master Liu, and he was a little discouraged for a while.

After Liu Chengfeng cleaned up, he handed over the broom and dustpan to Liu Jin, and said: "Your Majesty, this Zhengxin Hall is the permanent residence of the first emperor, and this blue and white porcelain vase is also the beloved thing of the first emperor......

Zhu Houzhao was also stunned for a while, so he hurriedly said, "It's my mistake." ”

Liu Chengfeng's tone softened, but he shook his head and said: "Your Majesty is not wrong, in fact, this year name, Weichen also feels that something is inappropriate, and the blame is only that the minister couldn't detect it in advance at that time, so that there was such an omission, which made people succeed and humiliated His Majesty, if Your Majesty is angry, then blame the minister." ”

Zhu Houzhao said at a loss: "No wonder Master Liu, how can you blame Master Liu, those deceitful people are extremely cunning, which is impossible to prevent, and they can only be blamed." ”

Liu Chengfeng shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Your Majesty can't blame them." ”

"Why is that?" Zhu Houzhao looked very unconvinced.

Liu Chengfeng said: "In the will of the first emperor, I have repeatedly told that these people are all ministers of the auxiliary government, and Your Majesty trusts them, hoping that they can assist Your Majesty and build an eternal foundation, if Your Majesty blames them, doesn't it mean that the first emperor knows no people?" ”

Zhu Houzhao was speechless for a while, so he had to say unwillingly: "Is that it?" ”

Liu Chengfeng said: "Maybe they are also out of inadvertentness or not, no matter what, now that the matter has been decided, even if Your Majesty makes a fuss, it will be a loss of dignity in the palace, and you can only swallow your anger for the time being." ”

Zhu Houzhao looked a little dejected and said: "Is it just that, I really can't swallow this breath." ”

Liu Jin looked like he wanted to speak and stopped on the side, obviously coming up with some bad ideas, but Liu Chengfeng glared at him, which frightened Liu Jin and quickly silenced him, Liu Chengfeng pondered for a moment, and said: "It's better like this, Your Majesty can make a decree to praise the ministers, and then order them to assist the government." ”

Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment and said, "Do you want me to praise them?" What's more, the Queen Mother has already decreed that they will be an auxiliary government, so what's the point of me making another such a recital? ”

Liu Chengfeng said meaningfully: "Praising them is for others to see, showing Your Majesty's bearing, they criticize Your Majesty in the matter of the year name, but Your Majesty praises them, this distinction between high and low, anyone with a discerning eye can see it, Your Majesty uses this to show his generosity, it is not a bad thing." ”

"And the decree to let them assist the government, in fact, is a warning, which means that only His Majesty's approval will allow them to assist the government, which is not only in accordance with the last wishes of the emperor, but also in accordance with the will of the Queen Mother, but also His Majesty's will, but if they are too much, Your Majesty can give them an order to assist them today, and you can also give an order to let them go, the praise in front is grace, and the back is Liwei, and the ministers in the court will be able to understand."

Zhu Houzhao suddenly realized, nodded and said, "I see, it's just ...... It's just that I'm just watching politics now, how can I achieve it without a cabinet? ”

According to the rules, Zhu Houzhao really does not have the right to draw up a will, which must first be drawn up by the cabinet, and then submitted to the celebrant or the queen mother for interference.

Liu Chengfeng said firmly: "Then the will will be drafted, no matter what, the will must be issued." ”
