On the afternoon of July 26, the 34th year of Taiping in the Ming Dynasty, Jingshi Shuntianfu, the Forbidden City, and the Wenhua Palace.

In the middle of the main hall, on the platform that was originally used for deliberations, there is now a large-format map of the Kun Domain.

Four craftsmen from Taifu Temple, holding rulers and pencils, stood around the table to check.

They used the original Kunyu map as the base map, and marked the new boundary line determined on the final peace agreement.

This is the work arranged by the old emperor Zhu Zhongliang for the Taifu Temple.

Today, Taifu Temple is responsible for the management of land and natural resources, the surveying and mapping of geographical maps and the compilation of corresponding books, as well as the registration and management of means of transportation.

The peace treaty had just been signed, and the division of Mozhou had not yet been completed, and it would take a long time for the official new map to be drawn.

But the old emperor now wanted to see the outline of the current territory of the Ming Dynasty first, so he asked people to draw a temporary one.

Anyway, the original maps will be scrapped in the future, and it is not a waste to use them as basemap modifications.

The old emperor came out of his room with his son Zhu Jianyan:

"How's it going?"

The Taifu Siqing, who was in charge of the command, immediately bowed and reported:

"Your Majesty, it has been basically completed, and there should be nothing missing on the whole......

"Okay, hard work, you guys go rest......"

The old emperor nodded lightly and stepped forward to check the revised places on the map, mainly the specially thickened border line.

Looking at the borders and names of the vassal states, he nodded his head from time to time to express his satisfaction.

After staring at the map for more than ten minutes, the old emperor let out a long breath and said:

"Okay, it seems that I don't need to be Emperor Mingling."

When the old emperor's words came out, the servant Siqing who stayed behind, and Zhu Jianyan beside him, almost didn't hold back.

The title of Emperor Ling is a nickname, and it is the evaluation given to him by his descendants after the emperor died.

It is equivalent to giving this emperor a lifetime of deeds.

There are praises and deprecations, or beauty and evil.

Emperor Ling was not considered a pure evil slander, but after Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty's "chaos without damage", it was basically regarded as a slander.

This kind of topic is now simply not daring to respond.

As a result, the old emperor didn't say a word when he looked at people, and simply asked his son directly:

"Jian Yan, tell me, according to the current situation, what should I use in a hundred years? What temple number? ”

Taizu, Taizong, Shizu, Shizong, this kind of title with "ancestor" are all temple numbers, which are used to pay tribute in the family temple after the emperor died.

Zhu Jianyan is very helpless now, how can he ask his son such a question.

I said that it wouldn't work if it was good or bad.

The point is that if you add the premise, "according to the current situation", then there is no way to evaluate.

If I say, "You have to use it well now," it means that you were not good before.

Now say: If you don't use it, then ...... There is no such possibility, which is equivalent to saying that the credit for the present is someone else's.

It's not good to avoid words, because evasion may make the old emperor worry, when I am a hundred years later, will you kid give me the whole name and temple number that does not satisfy me?

In fact, many elderly people are most concerned about what will happen in a hundred years, and they themselves don't mind talking about this kind of topic.

In the past, ordinary people would prepare coffins in advance, and princes and nobles would prepare mausoleums in advance.

Zhu Jianyan hesitated for a few seconds, and finally bowed his head and remained silent.

The old emperor saw that Zhu Jianyan didn't speak, waved his hand to let everyone else out, and then continued to ask:

"Okay, now that everyone is out, let's talk about it......"

Zhu Jianyan was helpless, this made outsiders retreat, so he had to let himself say it.

Then there is no other way but to choose the best words, and this is the only answer that is not wrong.

However, this Ming Dynasty has been around for more than 400 years, and the typical good names and temple names are almost used, so it is really difficult to choose.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Jianyan spoke:

"Wang Xinkeyi, rigid and soft, governing because of the time, said Zhongzong.

"Happy years, long years of happiness, longevity and peace, Emperor Kang."

The old emperor laughed directly, waved his hand vigorously, and said very resolutely:

"Don't rob Prince Yiwen's Emperor Kang, I can't afford this Chinese character either, you choose a new set ......"

"One more set of ......"

Zhu Jianyan was really helpless.

Of course, there are good temple numbers and nicknames, but it is really troublesome to choose, which is originally a matter of the Ministry of Rites.

The best temple numbers are: Tai, Gao, Zhong, Shi, these four most ancient and traditional temple names in China, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty have not yet used up.

On each specific word, the ancestor and the ancestor can usually be repeated, such as Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty, Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi of the Tang Gaozong, Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Xiu of the Han Dynasty.

However, after the Tang Dynasty, except for the founding emperor, it was easy for no emperor to use the name "Zu".

Emperor Zhu Di of Ming Cheng Zuwen was originally Emperor Taizong Wen of the Ming Dynasty.

Jiajing succeeded the great unification as a vassal king, in order not to be hollowed out by civil officials, in order to quickly develop his own team, and use his own people to control the central court.

With the ancient politically correct word "filial piety", he used the excuse of sending his biological father to the Taimiao to create a famous dispute over the great rites.

The side effect of these actions was to change the name of Taizong to Chengzu.

The later Ming ancestor Guangwu Emperor Zhu Cihong really had the merit of reinventing the Ming Dynasty, coupled with his own meaning during his lifetime, copied the temple and confession of Liu Xiu, the ancestor of Guangwu Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

The old emperor probably wouldn't want to use the "ancestor" number, so now in the Tai, Gao, Zhong, and Shi, there are still Gaozong and Zhongzong available.

But the temple name "Gaozong" has not been used since Song Gaozong Zhao Gou, so that for more than 400 years in the Ming Dynasty, no one has wanted the name Gaozong......

So Zhu Jianyan chose Zhongzong just now.

He also took the imperial title "Emperor Kang" given by Emperor Jianwen to Zhu Biao, the prince of Yiwen.

Zhu Jianyan thought about it and said:

"You don't want Emperor Kang, we can change Emperor Ming and Emperor An.

"But the temple name of Zhongzong, your old man is definitely worthy of it.

"The contribution of this war to expand the territory is unique only under the ancestors."

As a result, the old emperor still shook his head:

"In addition to the mainland, nominally my dynasty has opened up more overseas places than the decades when my ancestors were in power.

"But this is the industrial reform that began with Emperor Shizu, and the foundation laid for our Ming Dynasty is unusually solid.

"We have the ability to continue to consume Xiyi, but Xiyi can't hold on anymore, so we can only admit defeat at the negotiation table.

"The second is that Jingyuan's strategy is effective, relying on the strong basic strength of our Ming Dynasty, forcing Xiyi to retreat step by step, and finally won these nominal territories.

"However, those lands are not actually our Ming Dynasty yet.

"Now South Yinzhou is still full of wind and smoke, there are still wild thousands of miles in the middle of North Yinzhou, and the Great Food Country is also uninhabited for thousands of miles, and the monarch of Xianbei Country still has the surname Romanov.

"Whether these lands can become our Ming lands in the future depends on your father and son.

"Therefore, the temple number of Zhongzong is still left to you father and son, to see who can get it.

"You just give me Emperor Gaozongxiang, or Emperor Zhenzonghuan.

Zhu Jianyan finally understood, this old emperor was using the topic of temple advice to give himself eye medicine.

Remind yourself not to look at the map and be complacent, remind yourself where the focus of governance will be in the next few decades, and remind yourself to really grasp the land that Zhu Jingyuan talked about now.

While thinking about these situations in his heart, Zhu Jianyan also instinctively responded to the last two sentences of the old emperor.

Zhu Jianyan was frightened by the words chosen by the old emperor himself:

"Father, Song Gaozong is Zhao Gou, and Song Zhenzong is the one who signed the Yuanyuan Alliance.

"There is also Song Xianggong, the second emperor of Han Huan Ling, there is no good word in this......"

The old emperor laughed again, and laughed very happily:

"The words are all good words, but the few people who used these words before were just unpopular.

"There weren't many good names and temple names, but he ruined several font sizes in the three hundred years of the Great Song Dynasty, which made it even more difficult for everyone to choose a font name later.

"I just want this name, Song Zhenzong's Yuanyuan Alliance also went to Mount Tai to seal Zen, I can just go there again.

"You said that the peace treaty that Jingyuan talked about can't suppress any of the Yuanyuan Alliance?

"When I got below, I saw if he Song Zhenzong dared to stand with me.

"I originally thought that the courtiers inside and outside the court would really sign a alliance for me to come back.

"As a result, it's like this now, I like Chengzu's era name very much, and I also like Chengzu's mentality of choosing Yongle.

"Let the Ministry of Rites go to prepare Mount Tai to seal the Zen, and I will abdicate when I come back."

Zhu Jianyan finally fully reacted.

Song Gaozong and Song Zhenzong, the emperor's courtiers and sons, did not dare to use them for the old monarch and their fathers.

In fact, it is because their father may not have any credit, and he may not be able to be higher than Song Zhenzong.

Although Song Gaozong Zhao Gou was despised, he did keep the legal system of the Song Dynasty, and many emperors may not be comparable to him.

Emperors with the same nickname may be compared by later generations.

If later generations find that there is actually no difference between these two emperors, but one of them is infamous through the ages, and the other is unknown, then I don't know who is embarrassed.

But if the emperor who uses the same font name in the back far exceeds the emperor in front of him in terms of merit and popularity, then no one will stare at the affairs of the emperor in front of him.

If you want to compare, the result is also the latter's complete victory.

So it's really an emperor with great achievements, and he doesn't particularly care about using the font name used by the emperor who didn't have a good reputation before.

He can completely put aside the reference of his predecessors and choose the font size exactly according to the original meaning.

Zhao Min is successful, not hidden, true.

Conquer the land and the country, Wuding Quartet, said Huan.

The merit is grand, covering the same day, and it is said to be high.

There is virtue in the land, and Weide is far away, and it is said to be Xiang.

These font sizes are indeed good words, but among the people who have used them before, there are some that are not good.

Ming Chengzu Zhu Di's era name Yongle has actually been used by three people before, but later generations only know that he Zhu Di is the Emperor Yongle.

In the current Ming Taiping period, the expansion of land is more than ten thousand miles.

The covenant signed was all a condition for Tessie to cede the land and pay reparations.

The old emperor was not afraid to collide with Song Zhenzong, he not only wanted to hit the temple number, but he also wanted to learn Mount Tai Feng Zen.

This old man is afraid that he is not thinking in his heart, so he went to the underworld to go to Song Zhenzong to chat.

And now you are going to seal Zen with the great work of pressing the world and expanding tens of thousands of miles, and you will directly brush off the previous standard of sealing Zen.

In the future, I am afraid that no one will ever be able to reach the standard of this Zen.
