Chapter 128 Turbulent Waves
After the fourth prince led the second prince and the King of Jin, and discussed with the ministers, the posthumous name of Emperor Daxing was determined. It was planned to be the emperor of Jingtianchang Yunjian who was upright, tolerant, honest, filial and sincere, and the temple name was Shizong.
Emperor Huai has a fair posthumous title, not a good posthumous title or an evil posthumous title, so it is pretty good.
Sejong is also known as the Lord of the Order.
The officials did not want to confer a temple title on Emperor Kangcheng (Kangcheng was the reign name).
Because monarchs with temple names can enjoy the sacrifices and offerings of future generations, but it does not mean that all monarchs have this qualification. It must be determined based on the life of the monarch. Only the monarchs who have made great contributions and are worthy of sacrifices by future generations will be selected.
Because Emperor Kangcheng ordered so many ministers to be buried with him before his death, the ministers all had their own opinions.
Before the Dali Dynasty, a maximum of seven monarchs in a dynasty were eligible to have temple titles. Emperor Kangcheng was the eighth emperor of Dali, and he had already used up all the temple titles. The opposing ministers used this point to argue.
Lu Desheng stopped working as soon as he heard this. How could this work? Rules are dead, people are alive. The temple name is very important. The temple name has replaced the posthumous name and played a role in sealing the coffin of the Daxing Emperor. Don't give it to Emperor Kangcheng.
Doesn't the temple name negate everything about him?
For the sake of a temple title, Lu Desheng quarreled with the Confucian scholars and recounted Emperor Kang Cheng's life in detail, saying that he had hard work even if he had no merit. He had been in power for twenty-eight years, but he did not divide the country or let the people rise up...
The fourth prince thought of the posthumous edict in Lu Desheng's hands, and finally made the decision to give the late Emperor Shizong the temple name.
After this matter was settled, the fourth prince couldn't help but think too much about the imperial edict in Lu Desheng's hands. Did Huang Kao distrust him so much? He actually left the edict to control him?
Before leaving the palace, Lu Desheng went to the main hall to offer a stick of incense to Emperor Kangcheng, and told him his posthumous title and temple name. He thought to himself: Your Majesty, I have already done everything that I can do for you. From now on, it is estimated that
I can't stand in front of you anymore.
Chang'an City, in a dilapidated courtyard in a remote alley somewhere.
"Mr. Chen, are you here again?" A young male voice sounded.
Manager Chen whispered, "This is a big job."
"Great, since the last time we had a war of words with the Zhao family, we have been dead. The brothers and ladies down here are a little too busy." After saying this, he changed the subject, "Yes.
Okay, who is Mr. Lu going to do this time?"
Manager Chen: "Let me tell you, this time we are facing each other, whether we are superior or inferior, you have to do this..."
The other party nodded while listening.
"The battle is quick and quick, and we must not linger on fighting later. Do you understand?"
"clear."
After Manager Chen finished speaking, he handed over a bag of silver.
The other party found that in addition to the silver, there were some finger-sized gold ingots inside. He was a little surprised and asked, "Is this silver too much?" Even if it costs a part of the money, plus their remuneration, it is still a lot. Almost.
That's twice what they usually get for their work.
"Take it, there will be no life for a long time. Let the people below share this money. If you can, let them get married and have babies. Don't mess around.
It’s all spent.”
So, that night, a rumor came out vaguely in the house of an official in Chang'an City, saying that the fourth prince Song Mo, who was neither a direct descendant nor a eldest son, could surpass the second prince, the third prince and the prince's son, and become the son of Emperor Sejong.
His successor, Xie Zhan, played an indispensable role.
It was he who used a trick to kill the prince and gave the fourth prince a chance to succeed to the throne.
The reason why Emperor Daxing took away so many people before his death was because he was looking for the mastermind who devised a plan to kill the prince.
Of course Lu Songli made up this rumor, and of course she knew that the truth was not like this. But what did it matter? She didn't care about the truth, she just put the hat on his head. This would be the critical time for Emperor Kang Cheng's funeral.
The palace secrets are the most eye-catching. The more explosive the words, the better. Xie Zhan is not innocent anyway.
As the saying goes, if you open your mouth to spread rumors, you will lose your legs if you refute them. What she wants is that Xie Zhan cannot argue. Those who know the truth are well aware of the water in it, but they will also re-examine Xie Zhan's role in it.
Otherwise, it is useless to say that Xue Huaimin was the culprit who killed the prince, and then Xie Zhan just picked peaches and pushed Xue Huaimin out to vent his anger on Emperor Kang Cheng. It is useless to explain too much. Burn your brain! It is better to be as simple and crude as now.

The Zhao family narrowly escaped disaster, and Zhao Wenkuan heard again that the Qin family had been confiscated and exiled. Now everyone is in prison! He calls God for his eyes, and calls the late emperor for his sage!
That's right! Everything my daughter said is right! Although something went wrong and a few people in the Xie family died, it doesn't matter. The Xie family will still be a great family that has experienced two dynasties. For a time, Zhao Wenkuan had a
After placing the bet, the result was finally revealed, and he finally won the bet.
Zhao Yutan is also in a good mood. The Qin family is in prison and the Qin family is going into exile! She can finally avenge her brother. Pingzhou, right? Lu Songli, you can't go to Pingzhou.
Thinking of Qin Sheng, who had extremely high martial arts, Zhao Yutan decided to go back to Yuejia.
This time she also wanted Lu Songli to try what it felt like to be tricked in times of crisis.
Zhao Wenkuan was very moved by his daughter's request and wanted to do it himself.
However, regarding the matter of burying the minister with him, although the Zhao family had a near-miss and escaped, Zhao Wenkuan was greatly frightened.
From this he came to an experience that if a tree is as good as in the forest, the wind will destroy it: the one who stands out will die first. If he has been jumping around recently, he will be taken away. The fact that he can keep this small life is attributed to him
The silence of late.
So he learned to think twice before acting. Can he not do this? If he must do it, can he do it later? If not, can he let someone else do it?
Yes! I heard that Wu Yuchun, the Duzhi Shangshu who was responsible for the recent search of the Qin family, was very upset because the amount of property searched was quite different from the total assets of the Qin family.
So, Zhao Wenkuan found an opportunity to invite Wu Chunyu to the flower house for a drink at nightfall, and even gave some advice in the middle.

"Your Highness, Fourth Highness, in the prison, the second girl of the Lu family, Lu Songli, sent a message saying that she wanted to have a talk with you."
"What does His Highness have to talk about with her?" After saying this, Song Mo suddenly felt something in his heart, "Send someone to ask Lu Desheng what he wants to say about his daughter's interview with His Highness."
Not long after, the person he sent came back and told him that Lu Desheng said that it was up to him whether he wanted to talk or not.
After hearing this, Song Mo knew something in his mind. It was up to him whether to talk or not, and whether to take out the imperial edict or not, it was up to him.
"Your Highness knows this." As long as Lu Desheng was willing to let go, the fourth prince decided to take some time to meet Lu Songli.
It's not like he didn't send people to the Lu family to look for the posthumous edict, but he sent three waves of people to search through the Lu family, especially his study and bedroom, but still couldn't find it. No.
To put it politely, his people probably know where some things are placed better than Lu Desheng himself.
The next day, Xie Zhan heard that the envoy from Dali Temple came to report that Wu Chunyu had found him and wanted to ask him in prison about the whereabouts of the Qin family's property.
Xie Zhan pondered, the most troublesome thing for the fourth prince at present is to get the ministers holding the two edicts to take them out to correct their positions.
At present, it is known that one is probably in the hands of Lu Desheng.
As for the other posthumous edict, the fourth prince has already sent people to investigate. Before Emperor Sejong's death, the ministers who met individually may all be holding the posthumous edict and are currently investigating.
What Xie Zhan didn't know was that their people were still investigating, but Lu Songli vaguely guessed who had the other edict.
Xie Zhan, on the other hand, was thinking of ways to get Lu Desheng to take out the imperial edict in his hand.
It is very difficult to force him. People say that he has no will in his hand. Don't forget that the Lu family also has a gold medal to avoid death.
It just doesn't make sense to reason with him. He is the censor and a famous troll in the court. When it comes to reasoning with people, no one can surpass him.
The fourth prince had hinted at the temptation, but so far the other party was still unmoved.
This was very troublesome. After thinking about it carefully, Xie Zhan felt that he still had to use coercion. Start with the Qin family, or start with Lu Songli.
Now Wu Yuchun goes to interrogate the Qin family. Although it is not so compliant, it is still a way. Let's try it.
"Let Meng Xinliang cooperate with the other party."
Xie Zhan was still planning how to help the fourth prince ascend to the throne of God legitimately and without any controversy, but he had no idea that a huge crisis had come.
