Chapter 353: The New Monarch is Unfathomable
Thank you for your support~~ Thank you for the pink ticket of the demon fire fox, the evaluation vote of the Libra party, and the reminder ticket of Xiaojin, haha, take it all!
Not long after the cry of Zichen Hall came out, Shen Huashan, Zuo Liangzhe, Bian Zhihe, Wei Fuli and other ministers had already rushed to Zichen Palace, and they knelt on Zichen Palace, crying as the mountain collapsed.
When the officials were grieving, the Jingzhao court was still running according to the original order, and around the matter of Changtai Daxing, the officials of all provinces, ministries and prisons all moved.
On the day of the emperor's death, the funeral rites of the Daxing Emperor were approved, and the funeral rites were carried out by the officials of the Ministry of Rites according to this ritual note. After the small funeral, the court was ready to mourn.
So on this day, the temple of Jingzhao each struck the bell 30,000 pestles, and the bell rang all over the suburbs of Jingzhao. Immediately, the people of Jingzhao knelt on the ground and wept and kowtowed. The mourning of this bell also sent out from Jingzhao and spread to all the states and counties of Dayong, making the world sad.
In the past few years, the royal family has successively had the queen mother, the crown prince and the eldest princess, and the Ministry of Rites has been very familiar with this set of funeral etiquette procedures. Now, it is only the specifications that are done according to the highest standards, and it is Wei Jindu and Guo Qiang and other officials of the Ministry of Rites who have taken care of this matter properly.
After Wei Yanqing, the general of the Jin Wu Guard, killed a few troublesome generals, the left and right guards of the Jin Wu Wei quieted down. As I said earlier, in Jingzhao, there are no other princes and princes competing with each other, and there are a lot less thrills and variables in the matter of issuing the edict before the edict.
Otherwise, now Shen Huashan and Zuo Liangzhe both have big heads. Even so, as the Minister of Prison, oh, it should be called the Minister of Gu Ming now, and they don't dare to be sloppy.
After the funeral, Zhongshu Province, together with Menxia, Shangshu, Taichang, Zongzheng and other temples, invited the prince to choose a day to ascend the throne.
In the middle book, Wei Jingyao held the edict of Emperor Changtai in his hand, and in front of Emperor Changtai Zigong, the edict announced: "The prince bows to Xiao Shen, and during the period of supervision." If the military and government are stable, they will be able to overcome the unification, succeed me to the throne, succeed the emperor, and choose a day to ascend the throne......"
Dressed in plain clothes, the civil and military officials knelt in front of the Changtai Emperor Ziguan, silently mourning their old lord and welcoming their new king. Shen Huashan, like the hundred officials, knelt solemnly and sadly in front of Emperor Changtai, kneeling on his knees. Jingzhao at the beginning of February. It's especially cold underground. He felt a little unbearable.
Immediately, Shen Huashan raised his head, looked at the young man in filial piety clothes, and watched him take the edict from Wei Jingyao's hand with steady steps. Some emotion. From the unknown Twelve Princes, to the Prince of the East Palace, to the young Son of Heaven who is about to ascend the throne, the young man in front of him has only taken less than five years.
These five years are not only the five years that this young man has been moving forward step by step, but also the five years when the Shen family has gained momentum step by step. In the thirty-eighth year of Emperor Changtai, Shen Huashan made every effort to assist the twelve princes to seize the family strategy, and until now. It's less than five years away.
In the past five years, no matter what the reason is, or what kind of disgrace there is in between, the Shen family and the young man in front of them are firmly tied together. Complement one another. Now, this young man has finally reached the supreme position in the world, and as long as Emperor Changtai finishes his remarks and Ziguan is introduced, this young man can sit in the Xuanzheng Palace.
At this moment, Shen Huashan had mixed feelings. There is relief, there is joy, and even more, there is the unknown and at a loss. When the crown prince sat in that position, he reached the top. What happens when you get to the top? Shen Huashan didn't know.
In the past five years, the Shen family and the crown prince have been firmly tied together, and now, the big thing has been decided. Will the relationship between the Shen family and the crown prince change with the crown prince's accession to the throne?
The crown prince ascended the throne, according to Emperor Changtai's thoughts. The most important function of the Shen family's whetstone has been completed. After doing what needs to be done, it is natural that you should retire after completing your work.
So, does the prince think the same way? What does the prince's heart think? At this moment, the emperor's official has not been issued, and the prince's enthronement edict has not yet been promulgated, and Shen Huashan is still used to calling him the prince.
After retiring, how should the Shen family retreat? How can I get back? The world is determined to be loyal to the end, he has seen too many such aphorisms from the history books, so much so that Shen Huashan does not know how to deal with himself, and he is ignorant and dazed.
He knelt on the ground, as if he felt the cold on the ground, through his knees, gradually creeping up to his heart.
No matter what Shen Huashan thinks in his heart, Emperor Changtai Daxing and Prince Lingqian ascended the throne, every procedure and every step is still advancing step by step rigorously and rapidly.
According to the ritual note, after the prince received the edict of Emperor Changtai, he could start to deal with the matter of giving Emperor Changtai a respect. It was this matter of the honorable title that made Shen Huashan realize that the crown prince was no longer the same as five years ago.
It has never been a trivial matter to be honored for the royal family and important ministers, especially for the emperor of Daxing, and it is a major event of the country. The emperor's respect is to recount his past as a government and a king, and it is also to judge his achievements as a government and a king, so it is a great thing.
Honor and virtue are matched, which is the basic criterion of the upper name. Over the years, there have been thousands of names, some of which may be beautiful or bad, but on the whole, there are still many coincidences.
In the Changtai Dynasty, many things seemed to have changed unconsciously. When the Empress Dowager Ciyi collapsed before, Lu Wuhou had refuted the edict of Emperor Changtai because of the nickname, the reason was that his name did not match his line.
As a result, these court officials all knew that Lu Wuhou was killed by the court staff, although it was not mainly because of the edict, but there must be this factor. Lu Wuhou's bloody lesson is like in front of him, this time, Wei Jindu feels like he is on the edge of the abyss, for fear that things will not be done well.
After receiving the proposal from the Supreme of Zhongshu Province, he summoned the officials of the Ministry of Rites and read the classics such as "The Title" and "The Explanation of the Law" almost day and night, just to give Emperor Changtai a proper and suitable name for the prince.
After the officials of the Ministry of Rites came up with nicknames, Wei Jindu thought about it and secretly came to the Shen family with these nicknames, just to ask Shen Huashan to make up his mind. He was not sure of the prince's temperament, and he didn't know if there would be a problem when the nickname was presented.
When the first emperor and the new monarch ascended the throne, Wei Jindu didn't want to be cannon fodder for no reason, and there were family children behind him.
Seeing Wei Jindu's appearance as if he was facing a great enemy, Shen Huashan felt funny, and immediately became cautious.
Wei Jindu's consideration is not unreasonable. There was a bad precedent of the Empress Dowager Ciyi, and Shen Huashan didn't know what the prince would think in his heart; This is the first thing the prince embarks on, and he can't be too cautious.
Shen Huashan took a look at the nickname drawn up by Wei Jindu, and the words "Zhen", "filial piety" and "Ping" on it were all in line with the life of Emperor Changtai, and even praised him.
These words. Yes, it works. It's just that it's hard to fit the prince's mind. Seeing these words, Shen Huashan said. These words, presumably the prince will not be satisfied.
"Then what is Lord Shen's opinion?" Wei Jindu touched his forehead, but on a February day, he felt a cold sweat, all of which were forced by this nickname!
"Why don't you add the word 'Huan', open up the soil and serve Huan, Kejing moves the people and says Huan, the emperor has personally conquered Wen Town, and now the Western Yan and Turkic tribes dare not invade. The word. When it is used. ”
"This word is very good! When it is used. Use it properly! Hearing Shen Huashan say this, Wei Jindu's cold sweat seemed to be less, and he was very satisfied with this word. Emperor Yonghuan, this nickname. Sounds good too. Thinking of this, Wei Jindu made a gesture to Shen Huashan and thanked him for his suggestion.
But I didn't expect that when these nicknames were presented, there was still a problem: just like Emperor Changtai back then, the prince was extremely dissatisfied with these words!
"Master Wei, tell me, what do these words mean?" The crown prince glanced at the nickname presented by Wei Jindu, and then said. I couldn't tell the meaning on my face.
The prince's expression was unpredictable, and Wei Jindu couldn't guess for a while whether these nicknames were in line with his mind, so he carefully said the reason for the proposed words, which also focused on considering that Emperor Daxing had personally conquered Wenzhen. Therefore, it is proposed that the word "Huan" is cloudy.
"Yes, there was also a matter of pro-Zhengwen Town, and Prince Ben almost forgot about it. Lord Wei, this prince heard that the officials of the Ministry of Rites are familiar with the "Explanation of the Law", and now it seems that the kung fu is still not at home......" The prince said, and he still couldn't see anything on his face.
But this time, Wei Jindu knew that the prince was not satisfied with these nicknames, and this was beating the officials of the Ministry of Rites!
"The minister is terrified...... The minister was terrified. Please show the prince......" Wei Jindu had to say this, and he felt cold sweat on his forehead again. The prince was not satisfied with these nicknames, and for a while, Wei Jindu couldn't guess where the prince was dissatisfied, and the best way was to ask the prince to make his intentions.
"Since my father and emperor have personally conquered Wenzhen, then let's set 'Lie'." The prince also saw the cold sweat on Wei Jindu's forehead, he hooked the corners of his mouth and said so.
“…… The ministers obeyed the prince's wishes. Wei Jindu paused slightly, and then replied, but there was a wry smile in his heart. Sure enough, the Daxing Emperor and the crown prince have the most similar personalities, and even have the same views on the handling of this nickname. It seems that the beauty of the Ministry of Rites is still not enough.
Although Emperor Daxing reigned for forty-three years, his virtue and virtue really could not reach these two points.
Wei Jindu bowed his head slightly and did not look at the crown prince. His lips moved, he wanted to say something, but he didn't know why, he couldn't say the words when he came to his mouth, he thought of Lu Wuhou who was killed by the court staff, thought of the matter that was removed, and thought of the deceased subordinate Shenke, and his heart was a little depressed.
The crown prince chose Emperor Changtai's honor as "Lie", and Shen Huashan certainly knew it. His thoughts, like Wei Jindu, thought that Yimei was too much. The nickname is recorded in the history books, and the impact is very far-reaching. In this way, the respect itself is less meaningful than a fair evaluation.
"Your Royal Highness, the matter of respect, Weichen thinks that prudence is the supreme thing, and this insult seems inappropriate......" Shen Huashan found a free time when he saw the prince, and said thoughtfully.
"No...... Why, Lord Shen thinks that the prince's filial piety is inappropriate, or does he think that his father does not have the same merits as his own Zhengwenzhen? This nickname, the prince's will has been decided, and the province of Zhongshu only needs to issue a book. Without waiting for Shen Huashan's words to finish, the prince said like this, his tone and attitude were strong.
…… Shen Huashan looked at the resolute prince, and couldn't help but be stunned, his intention had been decided, his intention had been decided, this was something that the prince had already decided in his heart, so there was no need to say it again; Therefore, the opinion of the minister can be ignored.
Shen Huashan realized that the prince in front of him was really different from five years ago.
At the moment of receiving the edict, he is the new master of this dynasty, and his identity has been established, not the crown prince but the successor emperor! He is no longer the obscure twelve princes of the Twelve Princes, no longer the first crown prince in the East Palace, and no longer the prince of the prison who tremblingly relies on the courtiers.
He is now a young son of heaven who is about to ascend the throne, sitting on the supreme position in the world, with supreme power, and his heart is the emperor's heart.
The emperor's heart is unpredictable.
This small disagreement made Shen Huashan feel worried, but the matter was not over yet. After the crown prince ascended the throne, the first decree issued once again made Shen Huashan feel that the prince was already the first person in the world.

Midnight! I'm so diligent, I'm so diligent......
