Chapter 390: Ji Qingchen's worries
The so-called temple number is the name of the ancient emperor who was posthumously honored when he set up a shrine in the temple after his death. Because the temple number was originally very strict, according to the standard of meritorious ancestors and virtuous ancestors, the founding monarch is generally the ancestor, and the successor monarch has the ability to govern the country.
This is what the history books say: the temple number of the ancient Tianzi Temple, the ancestors have merit and the ancestors are virtuous, starting from three generations and ending in the two Han Dynasty, the name and the truth are compatible, and the present and ancient times are passed down.
And the so-called nickname is the ruler or a person with status after his death, he will be given another title, such as "Wu" Emperor, "Mourning" Gong, etc.
After the death of emperors, princes, ministers, and ministers, the imperial court gave them a title to praise and disparage good and evil according to their life and deeds, which was called a nickname or a nickname.
"Those who slander are also deeds; The number is also the work of the table; The car uniform, the chapter of the position. It is to receive the big name of the big line, and the small line to the small name. Deeds come from oneself, and fame is born of men. "The emperor's name is discussed by the ceremonial officer; The title of the subordinate is given by the imperial court.
Regarding the issue of Ji Wen's temple number and nickname, it is naturally not up to Ji Qingchen to decide, it needs to be decided by the Ministry of Rites and the ministers of the ruling department, and then reported to Ji Qingchen for him to see.
Therefore, since Ji Wen's funeral was handed over to Pei Wenju, this matter fell on Pei Wenju and Chen Yan.
Pei Wenju and Chen Yan were very concerned about Ji Wen's funeral, because Pei Wenju was Ji Wen's confidant, he followed Ji Wen when he was still a prince, and he trembled all the way to today, and achieved today's achievements, he is very aware of the bitterness and hardships along the way.
Therefore, he was angry and helpless about Ji Wen's death.
Because Ji Wen died of Ji Ping's conspiracy, this was something he couldn't have imagined, but now that Ji Wen is dead and can't be resurrected, the only thing he can do is to do the funeral.
Pei Wenju and Chen Yan discussed for a long time in Pei Wenju's study, but it was still difficult to determine what kind of nickname to give Ji Wen. It's not that Ji Wen's virtue is at a loss, making it difficult for them to give Ji Wen a good name, not that Ji Wen has no merits, which makes it difficult for them to evaluate Ji Wen's merits and demerits, but because Ji Wen's ascension to the throne is too short, only less than a year, it is difficult for Ji Wen's merits and demerits to have a clear positioning in this year, which stumped Pei Wenju and Chen Yan.
The atmosphere in the study was a bit dreary, and the two of them fell into silence in deep thought.
In the evening today, Ji Qingchen ascended to the throne and became the emperor, so they were able to calmly give Ji Wen a nickname, but tomorrow morning, the court will let the discussion at the court meeting, and if he can't come up with a proper nickname at that time, it will seem that he Pei Wenju and Chen Yan are incompetent!
Therefore, the two racked their brains, meditated, and looked depressed.
Also depressed with the two of them is the new monarch Ji Qingchen, he has been living in the palace since tonight, with Wei Zhongxian, the head of the inner house, the dormitory where he lives has been cleaned up, there is no problem at all, Shu'er and Master Li and his son Ji Changkong have been received in the palace.
But now Ji Qingchen didn't feel sleepy, and still sat on the chair in the imperial study and pondered.
For him, ascending the throne and becoming emperor is just a matter of course, and there is nothing to rejoice in. What made him feel a lot of pressure was that he was eyeing Dayan and leaving the country.
The south showed that since the annihilation of Sang Xiong's 300,000 army, without the 100,000 back soldiers commanded by Sang Xiong, it is enough to have Meng Li, Ji Xuanyuan, Li You and Mu Zhan, and the four of them are enough to annihilate this Lingnan elite. As long as the 100,000 soldiers are wiped out, the eight clans of Lingnan will be greatly damaged, not to mention that it is difficult to threaten the southern border of Dayan, at least it can ensure the stability of the southern border of Dayan for twenty years, and after twenty years, Ji Qingchen is confident that no matter how strong the eight clans of Lingnan are, he will be able to destroy them in one battle at that time.
In this way, the southern occupation line no longer poses a threat to Dayan.
As for Xishu, the soldiers are strong and strong, and they are indeed a strong enemy.
can be constrained by land and population, their entire elite army is less than 400,000, and the elite who can fight against Dayan is only among 200,000.
From this point of view, Dayan's real enemy is Liguo, a big northern country.
Leaving the country, thinking of this strong enemy in the north, Ji Qingchen's brows wrinkled slightly, as a proton who has left the country for ten years, he is very aware of the strength of leaving the country. If it weren't for the endless fighting in the country, the fight between the new monarch and the queen mother would be inextricable, and it is estimated that the current iron cavalry of the country has attacked the city of King's Landing.
At the beginning, Mu Feng's army broke through Ningzhou City and drove the armies of Ji Hongchang, Bai Xiangcheng and Liu Donglou to the Northern Capital. Just as he was preparing to attack the northern capital, the infighting between the new monarch and the queen mother broke out again, which limited the pace of the Mufeng army's iron cavalry to the south, so that Dayan had a respite, and once again did not guard against the army and held the precarious defense line of the northern capital.
However, just now, Ji Qingchen received a secret report from the secret guard, saying that the domestic struggle had ended. The departing emperor Li Changchuan solved the party of the Empress Dowager Xiao by thunderbolt means, and finally got rid of his political enemies.
This surprised Ji Qingchen that in addition to Li Changchuan's ruthless methods, he also clearly realized that he was about to go south to the Northern Capital after riding the National Railway. The Great Yan and the Great War of Departure from the country were no longer inevitable.
How should we deploy troops and make relative arrangements on the occasion of party affairs?
Now there are still 240,000 troops in the Northern Capital, and the 400,000 army has been defeated in three battles and three times, and among the 160,000 who were killed by Mu Feng, this is the real elite of Dayan! It can be seen how strong Xiong Jiangmu Feng's strength is, and how strong he is in the national railway ride.
And Ji Qingchen is also very clear about the temperament of his friend Li Changchuan, since he wants to attack Dayan, it is impossible to let Mu Feng continue to lead 400,000 iron cavalry to attack Yan, and may also increase Mu Feng's troops, according to Ji Qingchen's estimation, this time Li Changchuan will increase Mu Feng's troops by no less than 200,000. This time, Mufeng's army reached 600,000, and Dayan's army in the Northern Capital Mansion was only 240,000, which was only one-third of the opponent's.
That's why Ji Qingchen has such a headache.
Because now his forces are also stretched! Mengli's iron cavalry and Qingfeng cavalry have to deal with the Lingnan back soldiers, Li Changzheng's iron cavalry has to deal with the Xishu army, the newly trained 600,000 troops, the infantry army participated in Ji Ping's rebellion, after this battle, there were heavy losses, only less than 200,000 left, and Ji Qingchen can't look down on such foot soldiers, the combat effectiveness is too poor, and the iron cavalry can only be used as cannon fodder in the face of the national iron cavalry, as for the 200,000 cavalry of the new army can be used, but the combat effectiveness is also weak, only a little better than the foot soldiers.
After this calculation, Ji Qingchen found that the only army he could use now was Zhou Shun's 100,000 Beirong Iron Cavalry.
100,000 Beirong iron cavalry, plus 240,000 iron cavalry deployed in the northern capital, 340,000 iron cavalry plus 200,000 cavalry of the New Army, not to mention the combat effectiveness, but the number of troops still cannot compare with the 600,000 troops who left the country.
The difference in the number of troops between the two sides is 60,000, which is generally nothing.
But this time the enemy is the national iron cavalry, the commander of the bear general Mu Feng, which is a problem. The difference of 60,000 troops is enough to kill Dayan, not to mention that there are 200,000 new army cavalry in Dayan's army who serve as cannon fodder.
This made Ji Qingchen just ascend the throne and become emperor this evening, and he was already worried in the imperial study at night.
"Majesty, aren't you resting?" Just when Ji Qingchen was pondering, Shu'er didn't know when she walked into the study and asked Ji Qingchen.
Shu'er has been named the queen mother by Ji Qingchen, but now Ji Qingchen only has a queen and two concubines, but she doesn't need Shu'er to dominate the harem girls.
"I'm not tired, you go and rest!" Ji Qingchen said in a low voice. Shu'er has been scared for a day today, and now she is tired.
"Then your majesty should rest early! The concubine is going to rest! Heard Ji Qingchen say this.
Shu'er didn't insist anymore, he knew Ji Qingchen's habits very well, and when he didn't want people to disturb him, he would never bother him again.
"By the way, let's let Changkong and Ye'er get closer and closer these days!" Ji Qingchen suddenly spoke, "Let them cultivate their feelings from an early age!" ”
"Yes." Shu'er nodded and said, "The concubine will!" ”
She is very clear about the meaning of Ji Qingchen's words. Now although Ji Changkong is named the crown prince, he is the future king of Dayan. But in terms of age, he is not Ji Qingchen's eldest son, six-year-old Himeno is.
It's just that Ji Changkong was named the crown prince because Ji Qingchen was named the queen mother, which made Ji Changkong the eldest son, and he had the advantage of overpowering Ji Ye and staying in the East Palace.
And now Ji Qingchen is already the emperor of the Ninety-Five, and he can't only have three women in his harem, Shu'er, Ah Sang and Master Li, the seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards must be matched, and there will be many children at that time.
Since ancient times, there has been no smooth transition of imperial power in the imperial family, who can guarantee that no one among Ji Qingchen's sons will peep into Ji Changkong's crown prince position in the future?
And Ji Ye is now at a young age, which reflects his potential to become a generation of famous generals in the future, and now when he was a child, let Ji Changkong cultivate more feelings with Himeno, which is equivalent to letting Ji Changkong have one more brother around him who can ensure that his position as the crown prince is stable, why doesn't Shu'er know this?
"Hey-" Seeing Shu'er leave, Ji Qingchen sighed slightly, it is difficult to solve this complex problem when the sons are competing for the position of prince as wise as his father, what countermeasures does he have?
As for the battle for the throne, I don't know that it has gone through thousands of years of dynasties, and this is an enduring activity. So he still has a headache when facing this problem!
But at this time, it was a matter of the future, he just sighed slightly and put his mind on how to deal with the army leaving the country.
After thinking about it for a long time, he carefully checked the defense map of Dayan Province, and it was not until noon that Ji Qingchen, who was standing in front of the defense map, made a big decision.
I saw him walk quickly to the bookcase and write hard, and after half a moment, he finished writing three edicts, which were for Li Changzheng, Meng Li and Zhou Shun.
"Wei Zhongxian—" Ji Qingchen shouted.
Now Zhang Rang is sorting out the secret guards of the "inner factory", and the person who serves Ji Qingchen is Wei Zhongxian, the head of the inner house. If you add Ji Wen's dynasty, Wei Zhongxian has already served the emperors of the three dynasties.
"The old slave is in ——!" Wei Zhongxian walked quickly into the imperial study and said to Ji Qingchen, "What do you have to say?"
"Hurry up and send out these three express reports with 800 miles of urgency!" Ji Qingchen said.
"No!" Wei Zhongxian received the order, took the three-point express, and quickly exited the imperial study. As the leader of the Great Yan Secret Guard Organization, there is no need for Ji Qingchen to say, he also has his own channels to send these three points to the hands of the person who received the edict as soon as possible.
When Wei Zhongxian left, Ji Qingchen, who had just made a big decision, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhang Rang coming in a hurry.
"Slave see Majesty!" Zhang Rang bowed and saluted.
Now he himself is a little in a trance, in the morning he is only a general manager in the palace of the council, and in the afternoon he has become the vice president of Ouchi, second only to Wei Zhongxian's cunzài. Moreover, his "inner factory" has also changed from Ji Qingchen's dead man's secret guard organization to a Dayan secret guard organization with an establishment and official position.
"How's your side doing?" Ji Qingchen asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, I have cleared the first qiē force of the second prince in King's Landing City, among these people, since the dead soldiers of the second prince, there are also the secret guards of Liguo, Lingnan and Xishu, but they have all been killed by the minions." Zhang Rang replied, isn't this what their secret guard organization does? After another pause, he continued, "The slave has been ordered by Shi Hu to lead the factory guards to blockade the Taici Nunnery, and now the Taici Nunnery can only enter but not exit. ”
"Well, you're doing a good job, go down!" Ji Qingchen was very satisfied with Zhang Rang's efficiency, cleared Ji Ping's secret forces as soon as possible, and sealed Princess Meng's retreat, which was the result he wanted to see.
"No!" Zhang Rang bowed and exited the imperial study.
"Bai Meng'er-" When Zhang Rang left, he heard Ji Qingchen muttering in a low voice, "You say, what should I do with you this time?" You've got a problem for me! ”
