Posthumous title is a text that later generations evaluate after a person dies. In ancient times, in countries and regions influenced by Chinese culture, evaluating the right and wrong of a person is often not clearly described in just a few words. In order to facilitate the conclusion of historical figures, the ancients chose to use posthumous titles to summarize. In general, in ancient history, people with relatively high social status such as emperors, empresses, princes and ministers, etc., after their death, the court will give an appraisal title based on what they did during their lifetime. This is the posthumous title with the usual meaning, which is used to highly summarize the life of a historical figure.

Because of his special status, the posthumous title was usually made by the next emperor ascended the throne, and after discussing with the cabinet ministers, the posthumous title was finally decided based on the life of the late emperor.

However, Zhu Yousong, the first emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, was an exception. Although everyone knew that Zhu Yousong died outside Jubao Gate, such things could not be promoted everywhere. At the same time, in order to demonstrate his legitimacy, Zhu Lunkui also had to look for this dead father everywhere.

Zhu Chang in Hangzhou is similar. Zhu Chang is Zhu Yousong's uncle according to the genealogy. When his nephew died, his uncle became the emperor. He was originally dissatisfied with etiquette and law. In addition, some support ministers competed for each other for merit. So after more than a year, King Lu did not give Zhu Yousong a posthumous title. In this way, Zhu Yousong became the most tragic emperor in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and he could not make a final conclusion for more than a year after his death.

When Zhu Lunkui heard Qian Qianyi say this, he suddenly remembered that he had appointed Zhu Yousong's posthumous title and temple name. Isn't this a good thing to show his legitimacy?

"Okay, Mr. Qian is right. I will let the cabinet handle this matter tomorrow and strive to give the posthumous title to the late emperor as soon as possible!"

In fact, according to the genealogy, Zhu Lunkui was Zhu Yousong's grandson, but now in special circumstances, there is no way to talk about the last things. Zhu Lunkui became Zhu Yousong's son and the legal successor of the Ming Empire.

Qian Qianyi was very happy to hear the emperor agreeing to him. He came out of the palace and went to the Ministry of Justice to meet Qi Biaojia. The head of the Tianzhuo was very curious when he saw that Qian Ge Lao came twice a day, but he didn't dare to say anything. He could only open the cell respectfully and let Qian Qianyi enter Qi Biaojia's cell.

When Qi Biaojia saw Qian Qianyi coming again, she knew that her teacher was not giving up. She sighed and said, "Teacher, students will not surrender to Zhou Fan. Please come back!"

Qian Qianyi did not leave this time, but came to Qi Biaojia, pulled Qi Biaojia to sit in the haystack and said, "Youwen, I just went to see His Majesty the Emperor. Your Majesty has issued an order to give the posthumous title to the late emperor, and the emperor issued a general amnesty for the world! Youwen is also among the special amnesty, and the emperor is preparing to let Youwen serve as the governor of Jiangnan again!"

Qi Biaojia was shocked when she heard that Zhu Lunkui was preparing to give Zhu Yousong a posthumous title, and knew that Nanjing had already walked to Hangzhou in terms of legality. The posthumous title could only be given by the emperor's legal successor. If Zhu Lunkui's posthumous title was recognized by the people of the world, then Zhu Lunkui was Zhu Yousong's legal successor, and naturally Lu Wang Zhu Chang became a rebellious.

After hearing Qian Qianyi's words, Qi Biaojia sighed in his heart. He had considered giving Zhu Yousong a posthumous title when he was in Hangzhou. However, at that time, the Qing army had already reached Suzhou, and it was close to Hangzhou, so no one in the court could care about this.

Some things. When the Qing Dynasty was beaten away, the big men in the court began to fight for power and profit, so they naturally forgot about posthumous titles. In addition, Zhu Chang was originally Zhu Yousong's uncle and did not want to be Zhu Yousong's successor, so the posthumous title was delayed and now it was taken over by Nanjing.

Qi Biaojia didn't say anything after hearing this, but still closed her eyes and said nothing. Qian Qianyi saw Qi Biaojia like this and then persuaded: "Youwen, the late emperor inherited the Grand Tutorial and was supported by the whole world. You were also one of the supporters of Youwen when he was. At the same time, the late emperor Jianba you became the governor of Jiangnan. You will not forget this kind of kindness, right?"

The Donglin Party was the most fierce opponent at that time. In the end, Ma Shiying joined forces with the four towns of Jiangbei to suppress the opposition from the Donglin Party, and he finally surrendered. But no matter what you thought at that time, after all, one head was knocked on the ground. At that time, you, Qi Biaojia, supported Zhu Yousong. At the same time, Zhu Yousong promoted you from being on duty at home to the second-rank governor of Jiangnan. This kind of kindness is not something you can forget.

Qian Qianyi has already said this. Qi Biaojia has no choice but to stop talking. If he continues to silence, he becomes ungrateful. There is no way Qi Biaojia can only say: "Students are naturally grateful for the trust of the late emperor, but Zhou Fan's background is not right. The students are unable to help Zhou Fan. Please forgive me!"

Qian Qianyi was overjoyed when he heard Qi Biaojia's words. He was not afraid of you not speaking, but afraid of you being silent. Now that you can communicate, it would be easy.

"Youwen, I remember to teach you not to be too pedantic. Now, look at the general trend of the world. Ma Cheng led the army to Suzhou, and Lu Wang's army was basically wiped out! Even if Lu Wang still had hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, would Youwen think he could defeat Ma Cheng?"

Lu Wang prepared for a year, and finally organized a large army of 100,000 people. Ma Cheng was defeated in one day. Qi Biaojia, as the person involved, naturally knew Ma Cheng's power. At the same time, Qi Biaojia also knew that Lu Wang was in a desperate situation and the remaining army could not resist Ma Cheng's attack at all.

"Youwen, since that's the case, why are you still foolish and loyal to King Lu? Now the whole world is in chaos, and the one who has the most hope of restoring the Ming Dynasty is His Majesty. Do you still want to go against the trend of history and be an unfaithful and unfilial person?"

The unfaithfulness and unfiliality that Qian Qianyi mentioned naturally did not refer to being unfaithful to Zhu Lunkui, but to Emperor Tianqi, Emperor Chongzhen, and Emperor Hongguang. Qi Biaojia passed the Jinshi at the age of 20 in the second year of Tianqi. Nine years later, in the tenth year of Chongzhen, he became the fourth-rank right assistant censor at the age of 29. It took only nine years for him to be promoted from a small official in the seventh-rank green robe to a high official in the fourth-rank red robe. It is impossible to say that the trust of the two emperors of Tianqi Chongzhen in Qi Biaojia.

Although Qi Biaojia was involved in the political struggle of the court and was removed from office, after Hongguang came to power, he directly promoted Qi Biaojia to the second-rank governor of Jiangnan and handed over the most important ten prefectures of Jiangnan to Qi Biaojia. This trust and reuse made Qi Biaojia very grateful. After hearing Qian Qianyi's words, Qi Biaojia felt very guilty and a shameful expression on his face.

Qian Qianyi saw that there was a door, and continued to persuade him: "Youwen, now there are demons in the court, and Ma Shiying's party is in control of the government, making it messy. Ma Cheng is leading the army outside and is too big to lose his power, and the emperor's power is lost. In this kind of crisis, it is necessary for a righteous person like you and me to act as the mainstay in the court! Youwen, as a teacher, is old, and can still be with Ma.

How long will the father and son fight? So my teacher hopes that you will take over this team and you must not let Cao Cao and Sima Yi suffer the disaster in our court!"

Qian Qianyi's words mean that Qi Biaojia was deeply loved by the three emperors of the Ming Dynasty. Now, Emperor Shaowu Zhu Lunkui was bullied by Ma Cheng and his son like this. If Qi Biaojia didn't stand up and do anything, then when the Ming Dynasty was usurped by Ma Cheng and his son, Qi Biaojia would really become a historical sinner.

At the same time, the Lu King in Hangzhou is no longer able to do it, and the demise is right in front of you. Even if Qi Biaojia dies for loyalty and filial piety, it will not have any effect. It is better to join the Zhu Lunkui regime, and at least make your own contribution to the continuation of the Ming Dynasty.

Qian Qianyi was already talking nonsense, and finally said: "Youwen, Your Majesty will revive you as the governor of Jiangnan this time. He is going to send you to restrain Ma Cheng. Then you and my masters are both outside and the other are inside. The time is time to eliminate the Ma father and son. At that time, the heroes of the Ming Dynasty will surely be you and my masters!"

The temptation to be famous in history is too great. The Ming Dynasty has basically lost three-fifths of its territory now, and even the remaining two-fifths are in the hands of various warlords. If Qi Biao and Canon assist Zhu Lunkui in the resurgence, who can remember that Qi Biaojia is two ministers in the future?

Qi Biaojia thought for a while, stood up and knelt down in front of Qian Qianyi, and then said, "Since the teacher wants the students to assist the King of Zhou, then the students will do what the teacher said! However, the student has one request to report to Your Majesty, I am two ministers, and I don't want to confront King Lu head-on. As the governor of Jiangnan, I am not leading troops to fight. Please understand!"

What Qi Biaojia said is reasonable. After all, you can't kick the old master once you just surrender to the new master. The Ming Dynasty governor was of military nature, but with the military god Ma Cheng, it doesn't matter whether Qi Biao or not Qi Biaojia leads the army. As long as Qi Biao canon monitor Ma Cheng, it's enough to pull Ma Cheng back at critical moments.

Qi Biaojia's refugee made Zhu Lunkui and Qian Qianyi happy, after all, there was another help to restrain the Ma family and son.

Emperor Zhu Lunkui issued an edict on the first day of the fifth month to give the posthumous title and temple name to the late emperor Zhu Yousong. Zhu Yousong has been called Emperor Anzong Jian of Ming Dynasty in history. The word An is very ordinary, and it roughly means peace and smooth. However, the word An is mostly used for the ruler who is in charge of the founding king, but it is somewhat unsuitable for Zhu Yousong, a ruler who has lost his country.

Compared with the temple name of Anzong, Jian's posthumous title is much better. Jian means Qingxu and few desires. It is used in posthumous titles, which are much stronger than Yang, Li, Huang, You, Ling, etc., which probably belong to the posthumous titles such as Huai, Dao, Ai, Min. However, Zhu Yousong's actions really cannot meet the word "Silian". Zhu Lunkui has no choice. He can't say that his previous emperor is debauchery and shameless, so he gave Zhu Yousong such a posthumous title.

The posthumous title was a matter of benefiting the maintenance of the Shaowu court and also to all ministers, so this was passed without much effort in the cabinet, but the appointment of Qi Biaojia as the governor of Jiangnan was not passed.
