What's wrong with the old system?
Liang Chu's current reaction was not opposition, but excitement, and then there was a hint of sadness.
He is too old and has no chance.
Nor does he have any extraordinary achievements worth writing about.
Since the precedent of Renzong's posthumous gift, no minister has been posthumously entitled to enjoy the ancestral temple.
And since the founding of the People's Republic of China, no civil servant has ever been worthy of enjoying the Imperial Ancestral Temple, all of them have been honorable ministers!
Yao Guangxiao, is he considered a civil servant?
Now, the emperor actually wants to give Yu Qian the posthumous title of Zhongwu, so that he can enjoy the Ancestral Temple!
One hundred percent pure civil servant!
Another question: Who is he worshiping with?
Yingzong? Or... Emperor Jing who failed to enter the temple? Then does Emperor Jing want to proclaim his clan and enter the temple?
When Your Majesty mentioned this matter, did you have any intention of attaching a temple to the Emperor? Do you want to do it together again?
A huge wave surged in Liang Chu's heart, and he asked these questions. He just asked if he would accompany Yingzong to worship him.
"I know that there are many things to discuss here." Zhu Houcong said clearly. "Emperor Jing turned the tide in the past and should be honored as his ancestor and enter the temple, but this matter is not urgent. First, I will pursue the posthumous title of Yu Shaobao and be worthy of enjoying the Ancestral Temple. Jiajing Yuan Let’s discuss it after the year.”
Although Zhu Qiyu himself was a bit messed up, he helped Ming Dynasty through a dark moment. He had indeed been in power for several years, and he should have a place in the Ancestral Temple.
As for letting Yu Qian accompany Baozong in worship? Then Zhu Houcong would want to slap himself in the face.
He paused and said to him meaningfully: "Next year, we will only discuss the matter of Emperor Jing entering the temple and Duke Zhongwu accompanying him to worship."
Liang Chu felt relieved, but this was still an unimaginable event with huge symbolic significance.
Which one has greater symbolic meaning, the first feast or this incident?
Why just tell him alone first?
Liang Chu understood, the emperor wanted him to bring it up!
Let's just mention the posthumous title of Yu Qian first. The merits of giving Zhongwu the posthumous title will naturally be left to the emperor to win the hearts of the world's literati.
But things will be done stage by stage, and the standards will continue to be improved.
Yuan Zonggao will definitely join the cabinet after completing the posthumous title, title, and palace examination. Next year, Emperor Jing will enter the temple and Yu Qian will accompany him to worship. The new minister of rites will take the credit.
But now that Liang Chu knew the emperor's intentions, there was too much room for maneuver in the subsequent series of arguments!
In order to rehabilitate Yu Qian again, let Emperor Jing get his due status, and let this pair of monarchs and ministers who are linked by fate enter the Ancestral Temple to enjoy the incense... What kind of status and influence will Liang Chu have among the subsequent civil servants and in the history of Qing Dynasty? force?
Be loyal! Help the emperor promote the loyal ministers he wants!
Xia Yan's appointment is a signal!
"Your Majesty..." he became excited, "I understand. Today at the Sutra Banquet, Your Majesty is eager to learn. Today, Your Majesty is willing to pay favors to Wang Shifang and Huang Zuo regardless of past grudges. Tomorrow, Your Majesty wants to win the world's talents and open up a prosperous world. I, Your Majesty." Even though I am old, I will try my best!"
Zhu Houcong smiled as he watched him walk out.
The signal will be given.
Nearly a hundred years have passed since Renzong, and the door of the Ancestral Temple was once again opened to ministers, not to allow them to go in to offer sacrifices, but to accompany them.
Are there any heroes or military generals who will fight tooth and nail for this goal?
Is there any civil servant who can be as loyal to the country as Yu Qian?
There is no need to discuss the great ceremony, but in this era, the ancestral temple has its own significance.
The young emperor who has just ascended the throne can use a posthumous title and a tablet to set the supreme goal that drives all civil and military officials crazy!
The most important thing is not what Yu Qian, a deceased person, finally gets, but the future.
A hundred years after Zhu Houcong, who will be accompanying him to worship him?
…
First, it was just Liang Chu's servant who arrived at the inn and told Huang Zuo to prepare for the exam safely.
Huang Zuo burst into tears and shouted that the emperor was wise.
There was a reason for his crying: now the emperor knew that he was a troublemaker!
Otherwise, where would there be such a setback!
What careless person would put himself in this situation?
Then, at the court meeting the next day, Liang Chu came out to ask for Yu Qian to be granted another posthumous title, and Yuan Zonggao, the Minister of Rites, also came out to support him.
In front of the civil servant train, Yang Ting and Tongren narrowed their mouths and opened their mouths wide. They looked at Liang Chu and Yuan Zonggao in a rude manner, and then looked at Zhu Houcong.
Many people in the Xunchen class train were confused, and some smart people even opened their eyes: What are these people doing? Want to learn from Mao Cheng again?
It wasn't until they saw the civil servants collectively shocked that they felt something was wrong.
Xie Changjie, the newly-appointed censor of the capital procuratorate, looked at Yuan Zonggao with eyes full of envy and reluctance that he tried his best to suppress: He, Xie Changjie, didn't know anything about this matter before!
Without the emperor's approval, how could Yuan Zonggao come forward to advocate this matter?
[In May of the 16th year of Zhengde, Liang Chu, a great scholar, and Yuan Zonggao, minister of the Ministry of Rites, jointly advocated that Yu Gongqian should be given another posthumous title...]
Yan Song, who has always been good at calligraphy, wrote these lines unsteadily, and his handwriting showed his uneasy heart.
Why? Why can't the Rikko daily affairs official still be able to fulfill his duties as a Rikko and accompany people around him? Why did the emperor summon his cabinet ministers and not announce his daily affairs and note the officials' attendance records?
Liu Long, who was so shocked that he stopped running, was still watching the emperor's reaction nervously, while Yan Song's mind had already started analyzing at an extremely fast speed.
The succession of the vassal kings, the dispute over Dali, the disaster at the Rijing Sect, the Jingyan Festival, Yu Qian’s status as a civil servant, summoning cabinet ministers alone for the first time, and Yuan Zonggao jointly advocated...
Just when everyone, including Yang Tinghe, was silent, Yan Song put down his pen and stood up from behind the desk in the living room and walked to the imperial court.
After he knelt down formally, he choked up and shouted with full energy: "Everyone knows Yu Gong's great achievements. He has been wronged for many years, and Xian Temple and Xiao Temple also pity him. The posthumous title of Su Min cannot express his innocence in his life." Now, fortunately, the Holy Emperor is on the throne, and my minister, Yan Song, please kowtow to His Majesty, Liangge Lao and Da Zongbo, so that the Holy King will be admired by all the world, and the loyal minister's reputation will be remembered forever. This will be a good story for eternity!"
When he raised his head, tears had already fallen down his cheeks, as if he was Yu Qian's biggest fan.
Zhu Houcong felt strange: "The traitor" Yan Song could be so righteous.
But it's obvious that this human spirit has figured out what's going on.
Yang Tinghe was just too shocked, so he was overtaken by his disciple.
He looked at the emperor and felt sad.
Yesterday, Liang Chu was summoned alone. It turned out to be because of this incident.
Shouldn't this be what he, the chief minister and civil servant leader, takes the lead in doing?
Oh no, strictly speaking, Liang Chu was the first assistant. Who worried Yang Ting and Xian Ding, who were the first assistant at the time?
Yang Tinghe doesn't actually need any credit, but taking the lead in clearing Yu Qian's name is such a good name in history!
But he had previously opposed the emperor's succession without heirs, and he really did not dare to think of pursuing Yu Qian's posthumous title.
Too sensitive.
After the Sun Jingmen disaster, it was not enough not to make waves, but more actions were needed. The emperor actually understood this.
And his actions were actually that of Yu Qian, who was pursuing his posthumous title and loyal to the country, and was involved in the dispute between two generations of emperors!
The emperor, who had the foundation of his throne burned on fire, made a move that no one dared to think of.
The good old Liang Chu and Yuan Zonggao, the former minister of Qiandi, achieved this rare feat.
"Your Majesty Yang Tinghe..."
"Chen Xia Yan..."
"Your Majesty, Changjie..."
The ministers and generals were dumbfounded as they watched all the civil servants rush to stand up and ask the emperor for permission.
Your Majesty, look, they are forcing the palace again!
Zhu Houcong looked at the expectant and anxious eyes of Guo Xun and others, and could only let out a long sigh in his heart: Tie Hanhan.
Doesn't anyone understand what's happening now?
It was Luo An, the upstart, who saw Yuan Zonggao and Xie Changjie coming out. He was the first to kneel down from the military ministers' side and said, "Young Master Yu has done a great job in protecting the family and the country. I would like to invite you, Luo An!"
Guo Xun finally understood a little bit and quickly followed him.
Inside and outside the west corner gate, except when the emperor met, everyone had never knelt down to plead for the same thing.
This is Yu Qian.
"Thousands of hammers have carved out the deep mountains, and the fire is burning as if it were nothing. I am not afraid of being shattered into pieces. I want to leave my innocence in the world." Zhu Houcong recited Yu Qian's "Lime Song" nostalgically, and then said sonorously: "I have also admired Yu Gong for a long time. ! Your Majesty’s request is correct!”
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" The heartfelt voice reached all the way to the Sixth Gallery outside the Meridian Gate, "Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"
Who can object to such a thing? That's a stab in the spine.
Everyone who climbed to the front of the emperor by his own ability knew that the emperor had approved this matter first.
Now the emperor actually took the initiative to deal with this problem. The ministers kneeling there could only sigh in their hearts: Your Majesty's move is really exquisite.
His "rebellion" against etiquette turned out to be an advantage, and he actually used this weapon again.
Risking being accused of being disrespectful to Yingzong, not being thorough enough in Xianzong's attitude toward Yu Qian, and not being good enough in the posthumous title given by Xiaozong, Liang Chu and Yuan Zonggao raised the matter.
But it worked really well this time.
The loyal minister’s posthumous name. On the eve of this imperial examination, how much will the hearts of the scholars in the world be bound by this?
After the Rijingmen disaster, the princes in the court were able to confirm the emperor's ambition.
I really don’t want to pursue this matter anymore. As long as you are a loyal minister, the emperor will appreciate you.
It is disrespectful to think about it, if someone really takes away his Zhu Houcong family, as long as he is a loyal minister of the country, he will be a first-class good minister in the eyes of Emperor Jiajing.
Feel free to focus on state affairs.
Who came up with the idea?
Yuan Zonggao?
No... Now more and more people don't think so. They secretly raised their heads and looked at the emperor on the throne.
Zhu Houcong smiled, his mood stable.
Let the temptation of Ancestral Temple brew step by step.
It's just a posthumous title and a tablet.
As for Yingzong, the elder of Jiajing, what kind of pig is he that will ride on me in the Ancestral Temple in the future?
Don't worry, the days are still long.
Another great achievement was handed over to Yuan Zonggao.
But it was Liang Chu who initiated it.
At the age of seventy-seven, he went to Anlu to welcome the emperor. He fought against all the opinions in Liangxiang and decided to let the emperor go to the palace first. He helped the emperor set the rules for the first court meeting and could not stay in the court for much longer. Liang Chu ushered in his life. The most glorious moment.
Yan Song continued writing excitedly: [Song couldn't help himself, so he stopped writing and knelt down to invite him. Then all the officials invited him and accepted him. 】
Thousands of years later, they will all be able to "catch Yu Qian's popularity" in the history books.
After the court meeting, the whole capital was in a state of excitement!
