Chapter Seventy-Six: The name of the year is Chongzhen
Zhang Ruitu is in the limelight today, but sometimes he has to master the way of balance for a gentleman.
So Mingsheng directly asked Shi Feng to start explaining the interpretation of a few font sizes instead of Zhang Ruitu.
"Wechen obeys."
The ministers also looked at Shi Fenglai, after all, the matter of the year name is a big matter, and at the same time, they also want to see the gold content of this school's book.
"Your Majesty, the name of the year "Qiansheng", "Qian" is the first hexagram of the gossip, and at the same time it is the synonym of "heaven"; And "holy" refers to saints. Taken together, the word "dry" means "born saint".
After Shi Feng finished speaking, he secretly observed Mingsheng's expression, after all, he couldn't touch Mingsheng's thoughts now.
"Born saint, this name is too big, the widow can't afford this era name, 'Qiansheng' is still exempt! Take a look at the back. ”
Mingsheng still has a few catties and taels in his heart.
"Saint?"
Now there are still displaced people in the Ming Dynasty, and the people are displaced, and they are categorically unworthy of this title.
Your Majesty, this is the second era name!
Shi Fenglai paused and continued: "Xingfu represents the meaning of prosperity and Zhongxing, I wonder if Your Majesty is satisfied with this?" ”
"The meaning is good, but the name always feels not atmospheric enough, so you can introduce the other two together!"
"Xingfu", what are you kidding?
Originally, Zhu Changxun, the blessed king in time and space, scavenged so many people's fat and people's ointment in Luoyang, and was later boiled by Li Zicheng for a pot of Fulu feast.
Although Mingsheng is not a superstitious person, he is still a little taboo about these things.
Yes, since the emperor doesn't like it, then continue to choose!
"Your Majesty, now there are only two era names left, Xianjia and Chongzhen, this ......"
"Okay, then let's set the name of Chongzhen!"
Before Shi Feng finished his introduction, Chongzhen made a final decision, and the ministers were also at a loss.
Shi Fenglai didn't say anything, and said directly: "Weichen obeys the order." ”
He thought so in his heart, as long as the emperor likes it, he will just do it, how can there be so many things.
As for Ming Sheng, he wanted to challenge himself, after all, ordinary travelers would be taboo to use the so-called era name of the king of the dead country, but he did the opposite.
The first two Mingsheng were indeed not chosen for other reasons, and in the process of choosing one of the two, he chose directly with his own temperament.
The name of Chongzhen, in Mingsheng's view, has the meaning of "revitalization", whether it is the dynasty or the country, it is indeed necessary to revitalize now, so Mingsheng chose it.
"Okay, now that the name of the year has been decided, let's start announcing it by the Ministry of Rites! From next year, it will be the first year of Chongzhen. ”
Sun Shenxing, the new secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was not present, so Zhang Ruitu bowed directly and replied: "Weichen obeys the order." ”
Let's do this today, everyone Aiqing has also worked hard, so go back early!
The ministers retired.
After the ministers retired, Mingsheng walked in front of the Kunyu Wanguo Map, which was a world map drawn by Matteo Ricci and Li Zhizao.
Based on the map of the Western world at that time, it changed the prevailing pattern of placing Europe in the center of the map and placing eastern Asia in the center of the world map, which set a precedent for China to draw a map of the world.
Although it is not as detailed as the world map of later generations, it is basically the same.
Because this map was drawn during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, although it has always been in the imperial study, the previous "carpenter emperor" was not interested in it at all, and Ming Sheng only noticed it recently.
What the Ming Dynasty lacks now is food, and the problem of land annexation is becoming more and more serious, if it can open up an era of discovery, and send some prisoners and displaced people to the other side of the ocean, it seems to be a good choice.
Shaanxi, Governor's Mansion.
My lord, you should eat some, this body can't go without eating all the time.
Sun Chuanting's servant Sun Liu brought the food over and begged Sun Chuanting to eat something.
At this time, Sun Chuanting was sitting at his desk, paying attention to a map on the table, and he had fallen into a realm of confusion.
After all, Sun Liu has been following Sun Chuanting since he was a child, and he couldn't care about it at this time, so he shook his arm directly.
Sun Chuanting raised his head slowly, it was only a few months, Sun Chuanting was already a lot haggard, his temples had faintly white hair, and his face was tired, but he still smiled and said: "Okay, listen to you, just eat some." ”
As he spoke, Sun Chuanting began to pick up the meal and eat.
Seeing that he finally let go of what he was doing and began to eat, Sun Liu's eyes were slowly blurring.
Seeing that Sun Liu actually lowered his head and choked and sobbed, Sun Chuanting also stopped his chopsticks and asked suspiciously, "Liuzi, what's wrong?" Is there something going on? ”
"Young master, I'm fine, I'm happy, you've worried me for a while."
Sun Liu is three years younger than Sun Chuanting, and the two grew up together, known as the master servant, and are actually brothers.
"Alas, the matter of eating the king, the matter of loyalty to the king, although I have been lucky to win a few battles since I arrived in Shaanxi, but the current rebellion has not been quelled, and it will soon be the end of the year, how can I not be in a hurry!"
Facing the companion who grew up together since childhood, Sun Chuanting also expressed the helplessness in his heart.
"Young Master, didn't you say that a while ago, Long Live Lord just defeated the Tartar who knocked on the level? There should be more reinforcements to help counter the rebellion, right? ”
You! It's too simple.
Seeing that Sun Chuanting was about to start talking again, Sun Liu said anxiously: "Young Master, you can eat quickly!" You can't understand these things, Liuzi just wants you to take care of your body. ”
Sun Chuanting lowered his head and continued to eat, remembering the excerpt he had sent a few days ago, and he didn't know if His Majesty could allocate some more grain and grass over there, so he looked into the distance and sighed softly.
Ming Sheng sneezed directly at this time, suddenly thought of something, and said directly to Wang Chengen: "Big companion, go and pass Wei Zhongxian to see me." ”
After Wei Zhongxian heard the summons, he rushed directly to meet the driver in a hurry.
"The old slave knocks on Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live."
"Okay, Wei Daban, don't fix these vains, I really have some urgency to find you today?"
Wei Zhongxian said with a straight face: "If Your Majesty has an order, the minister will never give up."
"I don't want you to die, I just need your Wei companion to count some of the congratulatory gifts you have received over the years."
"Your Majesty, these things belong to Your Majesty, and the old slave is just in custody."
Yes, this Wei Zhongxian is also quite good at things, and he directly said that he would take care of it, so that Ming Sheng was a little embarrassed to speak.
