Chapter 29, year name, Jiajing (ask for collection and votes)
After entering the noon gate, a solemn and solemn meaning that was very different from that in the city came to his face.
This is not the Forbidden City that was full of tourists in the days after tomorrow, but now it is the center of the empire and the most heavily guarded place.
There are no trees in the open and wide field of vision, which is not only a consideration for fire prevention and reducing the blind spot of the guard's vision in safety, but also for many reasons such as feng shui.
Zhu Houxi's first feeling was: both old and new.
Looking through the Neijinshui Bridge and looking at the Fengtian Gate in front of him, the guardrail on the stone bridge has only been eroded by wind and rain for a hundred years, so the texture is more exquisite, which is newer than Zhu Houxi's impression.
According to what Zhu Houxi has learned now, in the future, in addition to the more interest-colored court meetings and some celebrations, daily dealings with foreign ministers will be in this area.
The early dynasty is in Fengtianmen, if there is a noon dynasty and an evening dynasty, they are in the left Shun Gate and the right Shun Gate. Cabinet meetings convened by cabinet ministers are usually held at the Dongjiao Gate at the Mukden Gate.
But after passing through Zuoshun Gate and seeing the Wenhua Palace, and seeing that this group of palaces looked a little old, Zhu Houxi's first feeling was that he had to repair it.
The north side of the Wenhua Hall is the Wenyuan Pavilion, from Tianshun to Chenghua years, here can be called the East Palace. In the ritual notes formulated by Yang Ting and them, Zhu Houxi was also allowed to temporarily live in Wenhua Hall after entering the palace.
But now that Zhu Houxi is here, he is just reviewing the edict of enthronement, and the year name will also be determined in the edict.
"This is where the feast is held?"
After Zhu Houxi walked into the main hall of the Wenhua Palace, he asked while looking.
Yang Tinghe's heart moved: "Exactly." In the first year of orthodoxy, Yang Wenzhen said in "Please Open the Scriptures and Feasts" that since ancient times, there has been no one who can govern without learning. Emperor Taizong customized, the second day of the first month, the twelfth, the twenty-second, three feasts per month, supplemented by the daily speech, after His Majesty ascended the throne, when the system of the feast was opened again, then the subjects of the world were very fortunate. β
After the persuasion has been completed, now everyone has to call Zhu Houyu His Majesty, and Zhu Houyu can also be called me publicly.
Zhu Houxi smiled, his cousin didn't like to learn this.
As for himself, he doesn't want to be brainwashed by them with the Four Books and Five Classics.
It's just that although he is nearly forty years old, he is only a fifteen-year-old child on the surface.
"The sutra feast is to be opened, and you can hand over a guide later." Zhu Houxi gave Yang Ting, who was hit hard today, and their first sweetness.
Yang Tinghe finally had a little more happiness, and bowed down to call him "Shengming".
The first thing after entering the palace is to care about studying, isn't it a great thing for them?
Zhu Houxi must go through these things first, and for the things that have no strategy in the future, he has reached a state where he must learn, think, record, and analyze.
Sitting on the throne in the Wenhua Palace, Wei Bin hurriedly took the preliminarily prepared edict on the throne from Yang Tinghe's hand and respectfully handed it to Zhu Houxi.
The edict was very long, Zhu Houxi looked at it carefully, and asked casually: "What is the proposed era name in the edict?" β
Yang Tinghe replied: "The era names proposed by the Ministry of Rites, the hundred officials think that 'Shaozhi' is the best. Shao, inheritance, inheritance. Rulers, stability and peace. β
Zhu Houxi is not so proficient in the meaning of these words, but only this era name is the detail that Lao Qin has talked about.
The name of Shaozhi can naturally be interpreted like Yang Tinghe, but it also has the meaning of inheriting Hongzhi. This is not only a hint of succession to Zhu Youzhang, but also the meaning of hoping that he will inherit the style of Xiaozong's reign.
Yang Tinghe observed Zhu Houxi's reaction carefully, only to see Zhu Houyu raise his eyes and look at him meaningfully, and then smiled: "Let's change it." β
ββ¦β¦ Your Majesty, deliberating on the era name is not something that can be done in a hurry. β
He was about to explain well, when he saw Zhu Houxi bowing his head and saying, "It's called Jiajing." Jiazhi, Meiya; Jing, Anya. "Shangshu Wuyi" has clouds: Don't dare to be desolate, Jiajing Yinbang. Wu Ding inherited the throne from the countryside, and I also want to be as virtuous and long as Wu Ding, so that the Ming Dynasty will be more beautiful and peaceful. β
It's different if you have done your homework, Yang Tinghe was stunned for a while.
Don't say it, this era name is really good. It is both catchy and has a good meaning, and the source is indeed in line with the situation of his vassal king's succession.
Several ministers looked at each other, and Qi Qi felt that the emperor had already made up his mind.
If it weren't for the fact that they had been prepared for it, they would never believe that the emperor would have such an opinion in a hurry.
It wasn't until they saw Yuan Zonggao, who was very stunned, that they realized that things were not so simple.
was in shock, only to hear the emperor say again: "Four pavilion elders, great uncle, although you can't change this edict in a hurry, but since you have Xie Jian last night and listened to my meaning when you went to the palace, these expressions will not work." β
ββ¦β¦ Your Majesty, please make it clear. β
Zhu Houxi looked at them: "The word 'entering the sect' also has the meaning of heir, right?" Changed to 'Inheritance of the Great Unification and Enshrinement of the Jongmyo Temple'. In addition, you use my mouth to say that the emperor's brother 'luck is prosperous, the industry is prosperous, although the essence is exerted, the reason is not fu, the middle way of power and treachery, the twist is blinded, the political authority is hidden, and the fierce power is broadcast. It's not appropriate. I inherited the unification by the edict of the imperial brother, how can I despise the imperial brother so much? β
Obeying the mandate of heaven to inherit a clear and harmonious imperial industry, although there is an ardent ambition to make the country prosperous, but the education and governance are not convincing.
The words "middle way power traitor, bending to be blinded, subtly manipulating political authority, and spreading fierce power" are even more damaged, and the meaning of Zhengde once faint and chaotic jumped on the paper.
But then he followed the sentence "When I was in the mansion in the past, I knew that I was not the emperor's brother", which sounded like Zhu Houyu exonerated Zhu Houzhao, but the above comments seemed to be facts that Zhu Houyu agreed with.
As for the statement of the maladministration that will be dealt with immediately after ascending the throne in the edict, it is even more obvious that Zhu Houzhao has not achieved anything during his 16 years in power, and he has only the "heart" of "encouragement".
ββ¦β¦ Your Majesty. Yang Tinghe's face flushed, "If you don't say this, then many new policies will lose their foundation......
"Once the edict of enthronement is promulgated to the world, I must be responsible for its contents." Zhu Houxi shook his head, "The legal system and authority of my succession do not need to be achieved through the contempt of the previous dynasty, and you should not generalize and avoid talking about the achievements of the imperial brother in border affairs. If the edict really evaluates the life of the imperial brother, thousands of years later, the annals of history will only ridicule us for their small size. β
Yang Tinghe and others were a little embarrassed, because achievements like Yingzhou's victory played a role in the arbitrary behavior of Emperor Zhengde himself and the traitors he reused.
But His Majesty was unwilling to judge his predecessor in this way, and Yang Ting and them had no position to persuade himβafter all, this was an edict of enthronement issued by the new monarch in the first person.
"I want justice." Zhu Houxi slapped the board, "After that, I roughly counted the new policies, and there were a total of eighty-one articles. I said before that you were reckless. Elders, I know you're in a hurry, but you can't be in such a hurry. There are so many new policies, I don't have to do anything else after the edict is issued to the world, and it is not enough to spend my whole life to accomplish these new policies that you have drafted. β
Yang Tinghe suddenly became anxious, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this is all a malpractice that cannot be delayed and should be eliminated." For example, in Beijing, the number of food rations has reached more than 373,700 people, and more than 3,988,880 stone of rice are needed for one year. Nowadays, the grain transported into Beijing is only about 4 million stone a year, and this alone is not enough to supply all the grain into Beijing! β
"I understand that these are going to be eliminated." Zhu Houxi gave another sweet date, and then pointed to one of the places and said, "But what did you do with the palace house that was added during the Zhengde period?" If you don't keep it for other purposes in the future, you will have to spend time and food to dismantle it? For example, this righteous and virtuous traitor, the court has its own law, which people are guilty and then ordered to be punished, why should they be named and severely punished in the edict of enthronement? β
"The people of this generation are full of complaints, and His Majesty will punish him canonically, which is the people's praise from the heart......"
Zhu Houxi waved his hand: "This article again, remove the new regulations on interrogation and punishment after the second day of the third month of the thirteenth year of Hongzhi." The previous regulations were completely wrong, and the next one was not wrong? There are also small things such as cleaning up all kinds of ships in Tongzhou, Zhangjiawan, and Nanjing...... Elders, how much do I worry you, and you want to list everything you want to do in the edict of enthronement? β
When these words were asked, Yang Tinghe and the others looked at him a little aggrieved.
You tell me?
Do you know how worried we are that you are a new stubborn master?
Don't you see that you are going to overhaul the edict of enthronement again?
Do you still want to ascend the throne soon?!
