In June of the eighth year of Yuanfeng, he became ugly (27).
On the recommendation of Lu Gong, the bachelor of Longtuge knew that Lu Dafang of Chengdu Prefecture was the minister of the Ministry of War and the minister of the Ministry of War. .
Liu Zhi, a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel, advised Zuo Si, and Peng Ruli was appointed as the censor of the imperial palace, and Wang Zhan, the signing judge of Yingchang Prefecture, was appointed as the censor of supervision.
Suddenly there were seven more old party officials in the court!
In particular, Liu Zhi and Wang Zhan entered the Yushitai, plus the supervisory censor Wang Yansou who was already at the Yushitai.
The old party began to erode the originally monolithic Yushitai.
However, the new party ministers in Taichung, the imperial censor, are still biting each other.
After Jian Xuchen blew himself up, other people who were dissatisfied with Huang Lu's style also stepped up their attacks on Huang Lu!
This is the tradition of Yushitai.
Crows are not only vicious at biting outsiders, they also bite their own people without mercy!
Huang Lu was under siege and gradually became difficult to resist.
However, even Zhang Dun, who was in the capital, watched Huang Lu's experience with cold eyes, or even showed no concern at all.
Because Zhang Dun’s energy is now focused on the bachelor’s college!
"This Deng Wenbo..." Zhang Dun licked his lips: "There must be something you are hiding from me!"
He was under the Bachelor's College and had just been rejected.
The imperial troops guarding the Bachelor's Academy prevented him from entering.
If he wants to enter, he must have two palaces or an edict from the emperor.
But the Bachelor's College did not lock the hall!
This is so strange!
But Zhang Dun can be sure that Deng Runfu must have authorized him to do this, either from the two palaces or from the emperor!
The two houses can be eliminated directly.
Because when they listened to the government this morning, the two palaces did not explain any matters about the bachelor's college to the court officials.
Therefore, it can only be the emperor’s instruction!
So, what exactly did the emperor want Deng Runfu to do?
"I have to think of a way to figure it out!"
"Going to find Zeng Zixuan?"
Zhang Dun thought for a while and rejected the idea.
Because Zeng Bu is now at Dutingyi and serves as the envoy.
It happened that when Zeng Bu was appointed as the envoy of the embassy, the emperor made arrangements for Deng Runfu.
This gave Zhang Dun the illusion that the emperor deliberately sent away Zeng Bu before arranging work for Deng Runfu.
"Tomorrow, there will be a meeting in the capital hall. Deng Wenbo will have to pay a visit no matter what!" Zhang Dun thought.
Tomorrow is the day for the final review of the posthumous title of Emperor Daxing and the text in the mourning book.
After that, it will be finalized and submitted to the two palaces and the emperor for review and approval. If there are no problems, it will be sent to the Ministry of Rites.
The Ministry of Rites will choose a good and auspicious day, and the prime minister will personally lead the civil and military ministers in Beijing to the southern suburbs to hold a ceremony to offer sacrifices to heaven, and then perform divination from the heavens.
After getting the consent of God, the posthumous title and treasure book of Emperor Daxing will be sent down and bestowed by heaven.
This is the way of playing in the past dynasties after the True Temple.
The main thing is that whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway.
A cover-up used to fool the people.
This is why, in today's Song Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu's theory of heaven-human induction is completely bankrupt.
Everyone has personally participated in the performance.
Whatever God's will or fate was, it was all seen through by the scholar-officials like magic tricks!
…
The next day, Gengyin (28).
Zhao Xu got up early and went to Kunning Hall.
Empress Dowager Xiang seemed to have gotten up earlier than him. When Zhao Xu arrived, she rarely knelt in front of the Buddhist niche in Kunning Hall and recited scriptures.
Seeing Zhao Xu's arrival, he wiped away his tears and said with a smile, "Brother Six is here!"
"Why is the queen crying?" Zhao Xu asked.
She sighed leisurely to the Queen Mother: "Today the ministers are honoring me with their posthumous titles. I wonder what kind of posthumous title Emperor Daxing will have... The Queen Mother is panicking..."
"I can only pray to the Bodhisattva and hope that God will bless me and Emperor Daxing will receive a beautiful posthumous title!"
Zhao Xu said: "I will definitely do it!"
Although, in terms of etiquette and law, posthumous titles have always meant ministers to judge kings and sons to fathers.
But the minister is not a fool either!
No minister dared to give the emperor an evil posthumous title, and no one even dared to give the emperor a neutral posthumous title!
It’s usually a compliment!
Like those in the Han Dynasty, those who dared to give the emperor the posthumous titles of Heng and Ling are now extinct!
Besides, Zhao Xu already knew the answer.
In his previous life, his father, the emperor, was revered as the Shenzong Emperor by the ministers with the consensus that "he is a saint but a god, and he is a warrior", and his posthumous title was: English Liewu Shengxiao Emperor!
In fact, there was a better choice - the Holy Sect!
However, this temple name was already used by the Liao Kingdom.
Therefore, we can only create a word "god" to praise him.
This is not a derogatory meaning, but a high level of praise and admiration!
As for why it became a derogatory connotation later?
It can only be said that the winner and loser can only blame Zhao Xu for his short lifespan!
In this life, Zhao Xu knew that he must unify the world!
Only in this way can he repay his father, and enable future generations thousands of years later to talk about his father with the highest praise, rather than mixed praise and praise!
This is the highest filial piety!
With these thoughts in mind, Zhao Xu stepped forward, held the Queen Mother Xiang's hand, and said, "The Queen Mother is at ease!"
"My father will definitely receive a good posthumous title!"
Empress Dowager Xiang suddenly laughed when she heard Zhao Xu's comfort: "I never expected that the Empress Mother would need Sixth Brother to comfort her!"
She hugged the baby gently, feeling so relieved and grateful to her husband!
Emperor Daxing left her such a filial son!
She is already content!
So, he took Zhao Xu to Baoci Palace.
They will wait for the memorial from the capital hall at Hoji Palace.
…
In the capital hall.
The gathering of ministers gradually entered the final draft.
Deng Runfu, a Hanlin scholar, began to write under the instruction of Han Jiang and Lu Gongzhu.
In Beijing, the ministers of the six ministries, the military officials, the clan members, the princes, and the princes were all sitting at attention in the imperial hall.
Han Jiang took the text that the ministers had repeatedly discussed and considered, and slowly said: "I heard that I was born but did not have it, I did it but did not rely on it, and I was indifferent and could not make a name for myself. This is heaven; I feel and then act, and I am forced and then respond." , the one who cultivates all things but cannot be transformed into an image is the emperor!"
Deng Runfu was busy writing, and each regular script fell on the yellow paper, followed by Han Jiang's reading, writing word by word.
In the court hall, there was only the sound of Han Jiang's voice and the movement of the pen tip on the paper.
"My wife, if your virtue is so great, you can match the gods and enjoy the heaven and the earth. You are small, big, fine, and coarse. There is no need to write about it outside!"
As the brush moved across the paper, all the ministers stood up and bowed with their hands in hand.
"However, those who become his ministers will definitely make great achievements and record great deeds. They will follow the Shaoxia period and be honored with posthumous titles. They will be engraved in jade books and hidden in gold cabinets. They will be remembered through the spring and autumn and passed down to future generations..."
As Han Jiang read slowly.
After the ministers discussed it, the final draft of Emperor Daxing's posthumous proposal was gradually known to all the ministers present.
The long posthumous proposal is eloquent and has thousands of words.
Han Jiang was reciting without daring to pause or silence her voice. She could only keep the same speed and tone and recite respectfully.
I read it for almost half an hour.
This posthumous discussion has finally come to an end.
"The name of the temple in Guangdong has been established for a long time. During this period, the sages and sages made their names, and they were responsible for the governance of the world. However, there was no one who took God as his name..."Shu" records Yi praised Yao's virtues, saying: He is a saint, he is a god, he is a warrior. Naiwen is the reason why Gai Sheng and Shen established Tao, and Wu and Wen established things. The posthumous title of Emperor Daxing should be given by God, and he should be called Ying Li Wu Sheng Xiao Emperor, and the temple should be called Shenzong!"
After Han Jiang finished reciting, the ministers prostrated on the ground and bowed respectfully three times: "I am the Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, the Yingwu Shengxiao Emperor, the Lord Yu will be prosperous for thousands of years, and will always be a god, bless our country, and protect my country!"
Deng Runfu held the pen and wrote the last word respectfully.
Then he also knelt aside and said: "Emperor Song Shenzong Ying Liwu Sheng Xiao Emperor, Lord Yu will be prosperous for thousands of years, and will always be a god, bless our country and protect our country!"
Han Jiang came forward respectfully and inspected Deng Runfu's writing.
Then, the senators, prime ministers, and clan princes were invited to inspect.
The ministers confirmed that the text was correct as Han Jiang read it.
So, headed by Han Jiang, each stepped forward to sign the pledge.
Then, the ministers respectfully elected Pingzhang Wen Yanbo, who was in charge of the military affairs, and Han Jiang, the right minister, as the envoys to present the posthumous title and temple name of the Daxing Emperor. They all respectfully escorted the two important ministers into the palace and presented the two Palace, emperor.
…
In Baoci Palace, Zhao Xu sat between the two palaces, waiting for news from the capital.
The Empress Dowager's adopted daughter Wen stood quietly behind Zhao Xu.
He looks very sensible, quiet and well-behaved.
Zhao Xu didn't say anything, he just stayed with the two palaces and waited quietly. Finally, Liang Weijian came to report: The ministers respectfully commended Zhang Junguo for his important affairs, Taishi Wen Yanbo; Jiang was the envoy of the Daxing Emperor's posthumous title and temple name, and begged to enter the palace to present the Daxing Emperor's temple and posthumous title.
The two palaces have edicts.
The curtain rose, and Zhao Xu walked out and sat on the throne that had been prepared long ago.
The arranged imperial Guduozhi came in holding Guduo and stood on both sides of the hall.
Zhao Xu faced the curtain and said, "Thirteenth Mother, please stand beside me!"
"Let the Grand Master see you!"
The two palaces listened and nodded.
Wen Yanbo is the Grand Master and Pingzhang, who is responsible for the military and state affairs. This dignity must be given to him!
Seeing this, Mrs. Wen quickly bowed to the two palaces, then walked out of the curtain neatly, put a veil on her face, and stood behind Zhao Xu's throne.
She looked excited and excited.
This is normal!
How old is she? You are allowed to appear in such a solemn and solemn occasion, and you are allowed to be by your side!
The emperor's favor was so great that it was already good that she didn't show any signs of glee.
…
Wen Yanbo and Han Jiang, surrounded by ministers, arrived at Baoci Palace respectfully.
Then, Wen Yanbo looked up and saw his granddaughter, standing at the Queen's side.
His old face showed an extremely relieved smile.
He felt deeply that he had made the right move!
Han Jiang watched from the side and laughed in his heart. The two veterans respectfully held the book in their hands, came to the emperor and worshiped: "I have received the imperial edict and respectfully propose the posthumous title and temple name of the Daxing Emperor... "
"Now that I have received the blessing from heaven, I present the posthumous title and temple name of the Daxing Emperor to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and His Majesty the Emperor!"
Zhao Xu did not speak, but the Empress Dowager inside the curtain said: "Thank you, my dear friends!"
Then he ordered people to take the treasure book respectfully and send it to the curtain.
The Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Xiang looked at it carefully and then looked at each other. They both felt good.
Then he ordered it to be delivered to Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu knelt down to receive the treasure book respectfully, then placed it in front of the case and read it carefully.
It was exactly the same as the words and references he used in his previous life.
The temple name and posthumous title are also the same.
So, he nodded gently: "Yes!"
The ministers collectively prostrated and worshiped: "I respectfully obey God's will!"
Zhao Xu stood up, held the treasure book respectfully, and returned to the curtain.
By the way, he gave Wen Shi a look and the latter immediately stepped forward and followed closely.
Wen Yanbo was in the palace and saw this scene out of the corner of his eye, and became even more happy.
He felt that the Wen family could produce a noble concubine no matter what!
If the Thirteenth Mother works hard, she can give birth to the emperor's eldest son!
Maybe she'll be the queen!
In this way, Wen can be rich and prosperous for another fifty years! Even a hundred years!
…
An hour later, the officials walked out from under the inner east gate.
Zhang Dun's eyes looked in the direction of Deng Runfu, and then he leaned over calmly.
"Uncle Wen..." Zhang Dun whispered, "Would you like to come to the capital hall to talk about it?"
Deng Runfu looked back at Zhang Dun, shook his head firmly, and thanked him with his hands: "Sheng Zuo, there are still important things in the Xianguan Academy! I really can't spare the time!"
Zhang Dun smiled and said, "Uncle Wen, can you please invite me to visit the Bachelor's Academy?"
Deng Runfu immediately became vigilant. Looking at Zhang Dun's half-smiling face, he whispered: "The emperor's life is on my side, please forgive me!"
Zhang Dun understood. It was indeed the emperor who ordered Deng Runfu to give him an errand.
Moreover, I'm afraid it was specially chosen when Zeng Zixuan was not in the Bachelor's College.
Zhang Dun found it interesting!
Note: Shenzong is a posthumous title and has the same status as Shengzong!
Just because of the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, the emperor and ministers of Wanyangou of the Southern Song Dynasty blamed Wang Anshi for his reform. They felt that as long as they did not change the law, did not sideline, and did not cause trouble, there would be no subsequent maritime alliance and the Song and Liao alliances would not be destroyed. Naturally, There will be no destruction of the country.
Coupled with the later incident of Ming Shenzong, Shenzong became a posthumous title with overt praise and covert derogation.
But now in the Northern Song Dynasty, this is an out-and-out beautiful posthumous title!
