864 The Monarch and Ministers Discuss the Funeral Matters The loyalty of the three dynasties vanished

Ning Xiang sighed for Zhu Wenjing: "Our Han King is really unlucky, this is to provoke whom, and he will go to Jingling to kowtow at every turn to make amends."

Obviously, it was the husband who conquered the south and the north, and laid down a large territory, but he was still guilty. ”

Zhu Qiyu shook his head helplessly: "The thoughts of the three generations of Ren, Xuan, and Bao are completely different from our family. Communicating with them is completely like talking from chicken to duck.

I see them like a silly fork, they look at me like a silly fork, and it's not a family at all.

Forget it, don't talk about these annoyances, I'm going to do it again.

Ning Xiang went out for a turn, handed over the secret letter to the eldest prince of our family, and asked him to gather the ministers to discuss the funeral. ”

After that, Zhu Qiyu worked hard again.

Ning Xiang was neatly dressed, dressed plainly, and walked out of the Lingyu Palace and came to the Jasper Boat.

Zhu Wenfang was in the study on the second floor, listening to Ruan Zhu, Huang Qi, and Pei Dang.

Seeing Ning Xiang come in, Zhu Wenfang hurriedly got up and saluted and sat down: "Why is my sister here?" ”

Ning Xiang pulled Zhu Wenfang to sit on the main seat together, and then handed over the secret letter: "Nanjing Yanli sent someone to send a letter six hundred miles to expedite the letter, and your uncle will be sent on November 11." ”

"Huh? What do you mean? ”

Ning Xiang leaned into Zhu Wenfang's ear and muttered in a low voice: "The eighth daughter of the Japanese Imperial Palace, died of overwork." ”

The Eight Maidens of the Sun? Are you sure it's not the Night Eight Maiden?

Zhu Wenfang opened her mouth wide, took the secret letter and read it three times.

Although Zhu Wenfang also knew that there must be other factors in the death of his uncle, not just because of women. But the eighth girl of the Japanese emperor still shocked Zhu Wenfang, and secretly swore that she must abstain from women.

If you want to be a stallion, let your father be it, I won't take this errand.

Zhu Wenfang sighed and asked, "What should I do next?" How is the funeral treated? ”

Ning Xiang replied: "First send someone to Changsha to report the funeral to King Yi, and let King Yi go to Nanjing to take care of the funeral for your uncle."

Then you convene a court meeting and have the ministers discuss the funeral specifications, procedures, and names.

Your father gave a reference, he wanted to use the word 'Yingwu', King Yingwu of Yuanjiao, and it can be regarded as the conclusion of your uncle's life. ”

"Yingwu?"

Zhu Wenfang was stunned, and immediately understood. This nickname is both positive and negative, especially when it is connected with the word Yuanzhen.

Ducheng became the first emperor to hunt in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Yingwu is indeed Yingwu, but he is also the first Taishi Yingwu.

Zhu Wenfang asked again: "Can the ministers agree to this nickname?" ”

Ning Xiang smiled: "Is it important that the ministers agree or disagree?" Besides, if you think too much, the ministers will not object.

As soon as King Yingwu of Yuanjia died, the mentality of the ministers of Xuande and Yuanjia collapsed, and these ministers would compete to stand in line and step on King Yingwu, which would only be more ruthless than the ministers of our Jingtai lineage. ”

"What about the funeral specs?"

"According to the prince's specifications, bury it next to the filial piety tomb."

Zhu Wenfang nodded.

"Okay, then you change into plain clothes, and let's go to the queen mother to report the funeral. Huang Qi went to report the funeral to the ministers and asked them to come to Ganquan Palace tomorrow to attend the court meeting. ”

Several people acted separately, and in the afternoon, the entire Jingshi was known to everyone.

Up and down the government and the opposition, there are mostly sighs and sighs.

But in the end, everyone had no choice at all, so they could only go down with Jingtai and his son.

Without the 'orthodox emperor', wanting to support the deposed prince Zhu Jianshen to succeed to the throne is simply a fantasy, and no one with a normal brain will think there.

What's more, in about three years, the first batch of Jingtai vassal kings of Han, Wei, Ning, Ping, and Xia will be vassals.

Before, people still had illusions, one was because the old lord 'Orthodox Emperor' was still alive, and the other was because there was no Jingtai clan Gongwei Emperor.

Now that the 'Orthodox Emperor' is dead, once the Jingtai vassal king begins to become a vassal king, there will be no thought at all.

At that time, Taizu divided the kings, and completely broke the thoughts of the proud soldiers and fierce generals of the Honorable Heroes Group.

Now Jingtai is the king of the domain, and he is not far behind. For example, King Wei, who is less than ten years old, can be in the midst of thousands of troops, his face does not change, and he can deal with it freely.

Looking at this frame, in another five or six years, many Jingtai vassal kings will be able to take charge on their own.

The ministers talked a lot and tossed for a long time.

Early the next morning, the ministers who were qualified to participate in the court meeting couldn't wait to come to the Qingyun Hall of Ganquan Palace.

To everyone's surprise, today it was Zhu Wenfang who looked at the court alone.

The ministers saluted, and Zhu Wenfang took the lead in speaking with a solemn face: "When my father heard that my uncle had passed away, I couldn't help myself with grief, and I cried all night, but now I am in a daze, depressed, and unable to look at the court."

How to arrange the uncle's funeral, how to draw up the nickname, and how to plan for the love of the people? ”

Wang Yining, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, replied: "The funeral is handled, and the imperial court has a system, as long as the specifications are determined, everything is done according to the system."

Therefore, please also ask Your Highness to instruct, what specifications should be used for the funeral of the king of Motokashi County? ”

Zhu Wenfang replied: "Let's handle it according to the prince's specifications, my father instructed that it must be done in a beautiful way, not slowly." ”

"What should I do with the items of the King of Motokari during his lifetime?"

"The Ministry of Rites will sort it out with the celebrant supervisor, register it, and then send it all to Changsha Yiwang's Mansion."

Wang Yining asked again: "Your Highness, how should the princess of Yuanjia County and other concubines be placed?" ”

Zhu Wenfang thought for a moment, and then replied: "They are all sent to Changsha Yiwangfu for resettlement, and the county princess will be handed over to the princess of the county, and the court will support the princess for life." ”

"Dare to ask Your Highness, where will the king of the county be buried?"

"Let's choose a cemetery next to the filial piety mausoleum."

These are all easy to talk about, Wang Yining finally asked: "What about the name of the county king?" ”

Zhu Wenfang nodded: "Let's talk about it, what should I give the king of Yuanjia County?" ”

The nickname is a summary of one's life's work, which is the most important and crucial.

The ministers spoke freely, giving a dozen options.

Zhu Wenfang shook his head and was silent.

Wang Wen finally stood up and asked: "Please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to draw up a nickname for the county king." ”

Zhu Wenfang replied: "My father often said: Uncle rejected Mongolia in the north and Luchuan in the south, and the young man was wise, wise and martial. What do you think of the word 'heroic'? ”

Wang Wen was obviously stunned, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether this nickname was what the emperor thought or the prince thought.

Anyway, ordinary people can't tell the difference between good and bad, but in the eyes of readers, the word heroic, praise and irony, is still quite appropriate.

Wang Wen is a descendant of Jingtai, but he has no motive or willingness to oppose it.

The others exchanged heads and muttered for a long time, but in the end no one stood up.

Whoever stands up against it will be hated by the emperor and the crown prince.

Politics is so realistic, the former orthodox emperor is dead, and the people's hearts are suddenly scattered.

Those hardcore loyalists have been forced to withdraw from the court in the previous purges.

After talking about the funeral, Zhu Wenfang talked about the military again: "The war is over, do you want the Ming army near Hala and Lin to be a teacher?" ”
