Liu Hengzheng and Jia Yi were discussing some recent government affairs.
Before Luo Xin left, he took a large number of old ministers to Shandong. Chang'an left some new generation ministers behind, which could be regarded as clearing out the crowd for Liu Heng that might hinder his governance.
Of course, Jia Yi is not the prime minister, and he is not qualified yet, but he is now a close minister of the emperor and is in the stage of rapidly accumulating qualifications.
"His Majesty!"
The eunuch who had been accompanying Liu Heng walked into the palace with a clear look of anxiety on his face, "Your Majesty, news has just arrived that the Prime Minister passed away in Luoyang!"
"What?"
Both Liu Heng and Jia Yi's expressions suddenly changed, as if they had been hit hard.
Jia Yi was also very sad. He was a man of temperament, and Luo Xin was one of his benefactors and sponsors. Hearing the news, he was naturally grieved.
But both of them knew that due to Luo Xin's age, and the fact that he had worked so hard over the years, his body might have been unable to hold on for a long time, and he was just holding on until the emperor was crowned and took charge.
Although Liu Heng was young, he had a strong mind. He quickly suppressed the complicated things in his heart and said, "Calling the ministers into the palace."
The news of Luo Xin's death came too quickly. The nobles in Chang'an City were always paying attention to Luoyang. When the messengers sent the news all the way to the palace, many families also knew about it and had already worn it at home. After the court clothes were ready, as expected, the notice to enter the palace immediately came down.
A group of important ministers hurriedly entered the palace. Liu Heng sat at the top with a sad face. Everyone trotted and sat quietly under their seats.
After everyone arrived, Liu Heng said directly: "Everyone must know why I summoned you.
The Prime Minister passed away, and the whole world was saddened. According to the Prime Minister's last wish, his coffin was transported back to Chang'an and buried with King Su's mausoleum.
The Shenzhupai imperial court personally made it and sent it to Zhaocheng.
Zongzheng, in addition to the tablets sent to Zhaocheng, the prime minister’s tablets should be placed in the Han ancestral temple to accompany the late emperor. Later generations of the Liu family should respectfully pay homage to the prime minister. "
After Zongzheng received the order, Liu Heng stepped down from the top, drew his sword, and asked with some emotion: "My lords, what kind of posthumous title should the Prime Minister receive? How should I pursue the title?
In the past, King Su used the posthumous title of Jingtianweidi as his official document, and Wen Gong also used the posthumous title of Jingtianweidi as his official document. Could it be that now he can only give the Prime Minister the posthumous title of Jingtianweidi?
Although it is high, I always feel a little regretful. "
The ministers looked at each other with tangled expressions on their faces. For the posthumous titles of ministers, it is now common to use two characters for their posthumous titles, especially for the important ministers who founded the country. They were divided into civil and military positions, and then they chose one character as a compliment.
Jing Tianwei Di said, this is already the highest evaluation, but if you use this as a posthumous title, it will be difficult to pursue the title, whether it is a king or a duke, you cannot be granted the title.
Now it is obvious that although the status of the Marquis of Fou, Marquis of Ying, Marquis of Liu, and Marquis of Huaiyin is high, they are not on the same level as Dong'ahou. King Su was able to surpass him.
In fact, given Luo Xin's status, he should be posthumously made a king. After all, even Lu Cheng was posthumously made a vassal king. It makes no sense for Luo Xin, whose status was obviously much higher, to be buried as a marquis.
Luo Shi is not a king, which means he is not a king or a monarch. During the Zhou Dynasty, not to mention the throne, he even refused the position of duke.
During the Xiang Yu period and the Han Dynasty, they accepted the duke. This was essentially an unwillingness to break a certain unspoken rule, rather than a rigid rule.
What's more, King Su himself was posthumously named king!
"Your Majesty, you want to give the Prime Minister a posthumous title that best suits his status, merit and morality. You want to give the Prime Minister a title of Xuanhe, but it cannot exceed the human body of King Su, because even if King Su is in the world, Even then, it is still greater and more supreme, and this may be what you are hesitating about."
Yes.
This is the reason why Liu Heng hesitates. Even if he is the emperor, he cannot let Luo Xin's status be higher than that of King Su, whether during his lifetime or after his death.
If Luo Xin was still alive, he would definitely not agree to Liu Heng's sealing.
Liu Heng sighed: "Su Wang is like the sky, but in the human world he is like an endless stretch of majestic mountains, no one can compare to him.
The Prime Minister's merits and virtues are so high that they shocked the past and the present, but because of King Su, he cannot receive corresponding evaluation. Isn't this the most unfair thing?
What do you think I should do? "
Jia Yi had actually thought about this issue for a long time, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, Su Wang means a saint who has the virtue of ruling the world, but has never occupied the throne.
Therefore, the prime king is not the king.
According to historical records, in the past, King Su was not buried with the rites of a prince. King Kang of Zhou said: 'Buried with the rites of a king'.
This royal gift is the gift of the emperor.
Therefore, King Su's status in the human world is not that of a prince, but actually the emperor. This is the legal tradition for the Luo family to serve as the great sect with the surname Ji for generations, because the Luo family is the only small sect with the surname Ji that has an emperor.
I think that the people can ignore it. They have been called Su Wang for thousands of years and will not change it.
Although the Han Dynasty inherited the destiny of the state, the court had to be cautious and clearly understood the lofty status of King Su in the world.
I kowtow to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to redefine King Su's human name in the name of the Son of Heaven to demonstrate the destiny of Heaven. "
hiss!
There was a sudden gasp of air in the hall.
Then these important ministers turned their attention to Jia Yi.
They all know Jia Yi. After all, he followed Luo Chen when he first came to Chang'an. Later, he was reused by the Prime Minister. However, he had always been counselor and maintenance officer before, so most people were not familiar with him.
Jia Yi's words today allowed everyone to really get to know him. He is indeed a talent that Luo Shi values and he really has a lot of skills.
If the mountains don’t belong to me, then I will belong to the mountains.
The status of the Prime Minister cannot be changed, so we have to raise King Su's status in the world. Moreover, King Su's status in the world has already reached that of the highest emperor in the world. It's just that you didn't understand the records in the historical books before.
Liu Heng was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "What Jia Qing said is absolutely true. It is natural for the world to be called Su Wang, but the imperial court cannot call him king in such vague terms.
The Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, and the title of the Son of Heaven should be determined for King Su and reported to Duke Zhao. "
Naturally, no one would disagree at this time, even Luo Shi would not care. King Su's divine personality has reached its highest level, and he will not care about this little fame in the world.
Just like after receiving the honor of being the richest man in the world, who would care about the reputation of being the richest man in the country?
Ji Zhao looked at this scene. After Luo Xin passed away, he received a lot of system information, and Luo Xin's information was still being settled in the system.
Regarding his status in the world, Ji Zhao responded with an indifferent attitude, as long as he didn't slander him.
However, Lowe attaches great importance to this point.
After the emperor made the decision, the entire court's energy revolved around Ji Zhao's title. This was actually not very difficult. Just add those beautiful words up one after another, and then add the two words "Emperor" at the end. Just words will do.
The most important thing is the two characters "Emperor" at the end.
From now on, he will no longer be called "King Wen" at the official level, but "Emperor".
Of course, I still use the title Su Wang in normal times.
Especially those poems from the Luo Kingdom, it is impossible to change all of them just because of this, and it is impossible for countless people in the world to change the names of their faith just because of the imperial court.
After elevating Ji Zhao, Liu Heng officially began to pursue the posthumous title for Luo Xin. The posthumous title was just, and Luo Xin's achievements were enough even in the world.
Liu Heng made so many operations just to make Luo Xin the king, and now he can finally achieve it.
"The Prime Minister carries me on his back. This is the friendship between father and son. In the past, King Kang posthumously crowned King Su as the Son of Heaven. I must have the same mood as I do now.
It's a pity that this is the land of the Liu family, so all I can do is to postulate the title of king for the prime minister.
As for the posthumous title.
The Prime Minister knows the world.
arts.
That’s it. "
King Wen!
