"His Majesty!"
Wang Shun's hysterical voice sounded.
"His Majesty passed away."
"His Majesty passed away."
Wang Shun knelt on the ground, his sad and shrill voice echoing on Qingqiu Mountain.
The voice was filled with endless sorrow.
thump! thump!
All the people accompanying him knelt on the ground.
Ying San was also extremely sad in his heart. He walked up and said respectfully: "My lord, there is an accompanying team at the foot of the mountain, and a corresponding coffin has been prepared. His majesty's dragon body will be buried first, and we will return to Xianyang quickly."
"Okay, it's up to you."
Lin Feng nodded.
His mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about the follow-up arrangements.
The emperor's death had actually been recorded in the imperial court before. But no one thought that the emperor would suddenly come out for a walk before he died.
This is an old man's last wish.
As Ying Sanyi waved, someone from Heibingtai quickly stepped forward, carried Ying Jiuxiao on his back, and the group quickly went down the mountain.
Then, he quickly changed Ying Jiuxiao's clothes and put them into the coffin.
"Let's go!"
Seeing that everything was well arranged, Ying San quickly gave the order.
When the group of people walked back, the people from Heibingtai had already sent the news back first.
When the news reached Xianyang City, there was some chaos in the palace, but because Ying Jiuxiao had already made arrangements, Ying Yuqian quickly took over the court and took control of the situation. Starting from this day, Xianyang City will temporarily be under martial law.
In addition to the curfew, entry and exit during the day will also be strictly searched to prevent problems in Xianyang.
Lin Feng, Ying San, and Wang Shun returned, stopped the funeral directly in the palace, and began to quickly arrange various memorial ceremonies.
When the emperor dies, there are certain specifications and arrangements.
After all the funeral arrangements involving Ying Jiuxiao were arranged, and during the memorial service, the posthumous title of Emperor Daxing was already being discussed in the court.
This matter was led by the Ministry of Rites.
Ying Yuqian and Lin Feng ignored them for the time being. Although one of them was the prince and the other was the minister of the Ministry of War, they still had another identity, that is, they were sons and grandson-in-law. Therefore, the two of them did not pay much attention to the affairs of the government for the time being. After all, they were still in mourning period.
But even if you don't care, you can't run away.
While the two of them were still guarding in front of the mourning hall, Wang Shun quietly came to Ying Yuqian and Lin Feng, knelt down and said: "Prince, Zhenguo Gong, the posthumous titles for His Majesty in the court have now been generalized. plan."
Ying Yuqian asked: "What is it?"
Wang Shun glanced at Lin Feng and replied, "It's tentatively Shizong!"
Ying Yuqian's expression didn't change much. He looked at Lin Feng and asked, "Lin Feng, what do you think?"
Wang Shun also looked at Lin Feng.
On Qingqiu Mountain, Wang Shun heard the conversation between Lin Feng and Ying Jiuxiao. At that time, Lin Feng replied to Ying Jiuxiao that his posthumous title was Saint Ancestor. Now, the posthumous title given by the court is Shizong, how will Lin Feng decide?
Lin Feng's eyes were slightly cold, and he said calmly: "Prince, Shizong is obviously inappropriate. Taizu and Gaozu founded the country, Shizu and Taizong carried it forward, Shizong, Gaozong, etc. are the masters of preservation. The achievements of the emperor's grandfather are nothing. Is Sejong suitable?"
The current Ying Yuqian has not yet ascended the throne.
However, the identity has been made clear.
According to current etiquette, after the death of Emperor Daxing, the prince must observe mourning for twenty-seven days before he can ascend the throne.
For the time being, he is still the prince.
Ying Yuqian nodded when he heard Lin Feng's words. He asked, "What posthumous title do you think is most appropriate?"
"Holy Ancestor!"
Lin Feng replied loudly.
Ying Yuqian raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "My father's martial arts skills are worthy of those of the Holy Ancestor. However, how do you deal with the court?"
"I'll go myself."
Lin Feng stood up and said, "The prince is here to keep vigil with peace of mind. I just rescued him. When the emperor's grandfather was in Qingqiu Mountain, he talked to me about the posthumous title. He asked me at that time whether he would get a posthumous title. I When I mentioned the Holy Ancestor, the Imperial Grandfather was delighted. So, this is the Holy Ancestor. Since the courtiers cannot come up with it through discussion, I will set the tone."
Lin Feng originally didn't want to get involved in this matter.
It’s just that I can’t help but intervene.
The posthumous title of a king is a summary of the merits and demerits of a life, which is the most important thing.
Ying Yuqian nodded, nodded and said, "It's better to talk nicely and try to avoid conflicts."
"Prince, don't worry, I understand."
Lin Feng nodded.
He stood up and went straight to the Ministry of Rites with Wang Shun, because this matter was discussed in the Ministry of Rites.
As soon as Lin Feng appeared in the Ministry of Rites, and he appeared in plain clothes, everyone in the Ministry of Rites was surprised.
The people currently in the room include Zhang Yi, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Wang Tang, the Minister of the Ministry of Husbandry, Xu Yifu, the Minister of the Imperial Academy, and Bai Zheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites. officials.
Lin Feng's eyes swept over him. He did not go around in circles and said directly: "I just heard that the posthumous title proposed by the princes for the emperor's grandfather is tentatively named Shizong?"
Zhang Yi had a smile on his face and said slowly: "Lin Feng, Shizong is already a great posthumous title. We already have Shizu and Taizong, so we can't repeat it? So we are considering Shizong. For Emperor Daxing Said, it’s already very good.”
Wang Tang nodded and said: "Lin Feng, we all know the great achievements of Emperor Daxing. But Shizong is already good. For the time being, I can't think of any other better posthumous title."
Wang Tang hopes to give Ying Jiuxiao a better posthumous title.
But, not even for a moment.
After all, Ying Jiuxiao was the king of later generations, not the founding king of Qin, nor the previous kings.
The others spoke one after another.
They all seemed to have given Ying Jiuxiao good reviews.
Lin Feng said lightly: "As for the kings of the Qin Dynasty, in my opinion, apart from Taizong and Shizu, there are already saint ancestors, but there are also saint ancestors who can be used. The emperor's grandfather has made great achievements, shouldn't he be able to use saint ancestors?"
Zhang Yi frowned and said: "Using the Holy Ancestor is probably a bit arrogant. After all, he is a future king, so it is inappropriate to use the Ancestor."
Lin Feng's eyes were sharp, and he nodded and said: "Zhang Yi, I have the same opinion as what you said. You are also the head of the civil servants of the later generations of the Qin Dynasty. In the future, when you are given a posthumous title a hundred years later, I am afraid that 'Wen' It's not suitable for you either. After all, you are a descendant, so it would be nice to use posthumous titles like 'Zhong' and 'Ning'."
brush!
Zhang Yi's expression changed suddenly.
When a civil official dies, it is very good to have the posthumous title of "Wen", "Wen Zheng" or "Wen Zhong".
Although "loyalty" is good, it is far from perfect.
The pursuit of civil servants is 'wen'.
Lin Feng glanced at the others and said in a deep voice: "All of you support the posthumous title of Shizong, but you have forgotten that the great Qin Dynasty can be what it is today because of the hard work of the emperor. The territory of the Qin Dynasty can be what it is today." , it was the emperor’s grandfather who worked hard. Without the illustrious achievements of the emperor’s grandfather, where would the Great Qin be today?”
"To put it more directly, the imperial grandfather's posthumous title is too low. How can you have a good posthumous title?"
"The imperial grandfather's posthumous title is different, and your grades are also different."
"You have suppressed the imperial grandfather, and you have done the same."
"As the saying goes, one dynasty is the emperor and the other is the courtier. How the emperor's grandfather was evaluated during his reign will, to a certain extent, also be evaluated by you. Because you people are all in the same dynasty as the emperor's grandfather."
Lin Feng was not as warm as before.
There was a feeling of anger in his heart.
These people are still trying to suppress him and are unwilling to give Ying Jiuxiao the most appropriate evaluation. This is very inappropriate.
Zhang Yi's expression changed again and again. Finally, he had a look of realization on his face and solemnly said: "If it weren't for Lin Shangshu's reminder, I almost made a big mistake. The Daxing Emperor has made great achievements, and I agree with the posthumous title of 'Holy Ancestor' .”
"I also agree."
Wang Tang nodded in reply.
He had no objection at all. He had no good ideas before, but now he looked approving after listening to Lin Feng's words.
Seeing this, the others changed their attitudes one after another.
Lin Feng had no intention of arguing with these people. When the matter was settled, he stopped lingering and said, "Thank you for your hard work on the court affairs."
He turned and left.
Wang Shun also left in a hurry.
