Chapter 1259: Extra: Ming Palace Sunset (6)
"Yes, it is not unreasonable for the elder of the Fang Pavilion to be worried," Han Kuang, the cabinet assistant minister who entered the cabinet with Liu Yijing, took two steps forward and looked at the people in the hall, "If the Taichang era name is canceled, where is the Daxing Emperor, it is better to subtract the Wanli year number by one year and terminate it in the forty-seventh year, and take this year as the first year of Taichang, what do you think?" β
"Xiaguan thinks it can't," someone immediately disagreed, "There is no precedent for this practice, and it is not in line with the ancestral system of our dynasty, not to mention, Emperor Wanli died in late July, and half of the year has passed, if you cut off a year in vain, wouldn't it become a joke?" β
"That's why this official is hesitant and hard to decide," Fang Congzhe raised his hand towards everyone with embarrassment, "If you have any high opinions, please know everything!" β
"Lord Shoufu, the lower officials feel that it is better to divide the forty-eighth year of Wanli into two, before July it is still called the forty-eighth year of Wanli, and after August it is the first year of Taichang." Someone asked.
"That's a good ideaβ"
"That's a good ideaβ"
β¦β¦
As soon as his voice fell, someone immediately echoed him.
"Okay, then that's it," Fang Congzhe said in a deep voice, "The name of the new emperor's succession will start from the first month of next year, and it will be called - Apocalypse, what do you think?" β
"Okay, Apocalypse, open a new chapter, the world is clear, it's really good!" A middle-aged official standing beside him couldn't help but praise.
"Lord Shoufu, since the name of this era has been decided, we should go to the Qianqing Palace to see the prince!" Yang Lian, who was waiting a little impatiently on the side, said hurriedly.
"Don't worry," Fang Congzhe waved his hand, "Now it's only one item, and there are more important ones." β
"Shousuke-sama, what else do you have to do?" His brow furrowed again.
"Yes," Fang Congzhe said, "The temple names of these two emperors have not yet been decided, how do you call them in the future?" β
"According to the official's opinion, Emperor Wanli's nickname can be called 'Gong'," Liu Yijing on the side thought for a while and said, "As for Emperor Taichang, it can be called Guangzong." β
"It's not proper, it's not proper," Fang Congzhe immediately shook his head, "This is Fayun, 'Gong' is a bad word, and only this monarch who has been condemned by later generations can be called 'Gong'!" β
"I think that Liu Ge Lao's proposal is very insightful," Yang Lian snorted lightly, "There was an Emperor Gong in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and there was also an Emperor Gong in the Southern Song Dynasty. Wanli a total of 48 years, the first half of the hard work, can be called a prosperous era, but since the death of Zhang Juzheng, but the situation is getting worse, the emperor is not in the dynasty for more than 30 years, the important ministers of the Taiwan Pavilion have served for many years and do not know what the emperor looks like, the mines, the prison and the two taxes are poisonous, the people are not happy, and the border is lax, so that the Jianzhou Jurchen Nurha Chibu sits big, to the point of establishing the Jin Emperor, and has become a big trouble for my Ming Dynasty. In the next opinion, Emperor Wanli's word 'Gong' is already very polite! β
"Yang Lian, Yang Lian, you are really bold enough, you dare to say this kind of thing!" Fang Congzhe frowned, raised his hand and pointed at Liu Yijing beside him, "I don't think Elder Liu Ge will agree with your point of view!" β
"The ancients are wise, for the Venerable Hui, this official really does not dare to praise and belittle Emperor Wanli's actions too much," Liu Yijing said, "In the law, the word 'Gong' can be changed and explained, and Emperor Wanli personally issued an edict before his death, abolishing the mine tax, and exempting the people from hardship, which can be said to be a Ming Jun who can be reformed." Although he doted on Concubine Zheng Guifei, he once had the idea of abolishing Chang Liyu and passing on the throne to King Fu, but after all, he still did not destroy the ancestral system, and he also maintained the status of the crown prince of the emperor's eldest son, Emperor Taichang, isn't this all a deed that can be 'Gong'? β
