The Court of Ceremonies submitted a letter that the ceremonial guard at the mountain mausoleum should follow the regulations of Yongxi Mausoleum (Taizong), with 9,468 people. Now please go on the road and follow the regulations of Yongchang Mausoleum (Taizong), with 3,533 people.
There are 984 powerful men, 150 women in charge, and 344 people in Diao Xing Palace (carrying palace), all hired by Kaifeng Prefecture.
There are one hundred and two people in charge of carrying the coffin (carriage carrying the coffin), and they are hired to do the funeral work.
There are 1,233 soldiers holding the chariots and chariots, and all the troops are dispatched.
On the day of the temple, there were 9,468 people lined up, only those from Shanling who came out of Beijing were filled.
The emperor is the most noble person in the world. He is extremely glorious during his lifetime, and his funeral after death is naturally the best in the world.
Just for a single burial, tens of thousands of people would be mobilized. This is definitely unimaginable by later generations. However, in the Song Dynasty a thousand years ago, etiquette was followed.
After seeing this petition, even Li Jie felt that it was too extravagant and wasteful.
In the mortal world, even if you are an emperor during your lifetime, you will be no different from an ordinary person after your death. The glory during your lifetime cannot be taken away, and it does not matter whether you are buried generously or not.
However, Song Zhenzong's funeral ritual system could not be changed. After all, this dynasty emphasized governing the world with filial piety, and also emphasized that sons should not change their father's rule.
Of course, sometimes, the latter sentence is just bullshit, purely rhetoric to occupy the moral high ground.
Less than a day after the letter from the Court of Ceremonies was delivered to the palace, Liu E approved the letter at the speed of light, and at the same time issued an edict, ordering Si Tianjian to determine the date of the opening of the palace and the evocation of the spirit as soon as possible.
There are examples of these things. Liu E did not hand the letter to Funing Hall, but forwarded it directly to Zhongshu.
Afterwards, during the daily greetings, Liu E also specially explained one or two sentences.
Since the conflict at Funing Palace that day, Liu E's attitude towards Li Jie has obviously changed. She no longer regards Li Jie as an ordinary boy.
Although Liu E still has no intention of delegating power, her attitude has at least improved a lot.
The most obvious change is that letters that were not delivered to Funing Hall in the past are now delivered.
19th.
Afternoon.
Li Jie was reading the papers handed over by Bao Cidian. Although these papers were approved by Liu E, this did not affect his reading.
Reading more Zhazi will allow him to get a glimpse of the whole dynasty more quickly.
For example, the note he has now is very interesting.
This was Qian Weiyan's petition. He proposed that the official's birthday should be the Qianyuan Festival and the empress dowager's birthday should be the Changning Festival.
Taking birthdays as a festival began with Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. He was the first emperor in history to use his own birthday as a festival.
(PS: On the emperor’s birthday, a large-scale banquet is usually held, and it is also a legal holiday)
Later generations of emperors followed suit and celebrated their birthdays as festivals.
Such as the Changchun Festival of Song Taizu, the Qianming Festival of Song Taizong, and the Chengtian Festival of Song Zhenzong.
In fact, it is also very interesting to count the names of these festivals. Song Taizu used the word "Changchun" to hope to live longer. Immortality is the long-cherished wish of emperors of all ages.
Qianming, Qian comes from the Book of Changes, and generally refers to heaven, king, and father. The meaning of Taizong's festival in Song Dynasty is that I should be a wise king.
Song Zhenzong's word "Chengtian" is obviously to show his orthodox status.
There is no clear record in the history books that Taizong won the country incorrectly, but it is a recognized fact.
If according to the Jingui alliance, after Taizong's death, Song Zhenzong would never be the successor, but in fact it was Zhenzong who inherited the throne.
In Zhenzong's view, there is no doubt that this is God's will and destiny.
As for the word Qian and Yuan, it also comes from the Book of Changes, "Qian, Yuan Henry Zhen".
Yuan Henry Zhen is one of the four virtues of the Qian hexagram.
The virtue of this hexagram has the nature of pure yang, so it can naturally use yang energy to give birth to all things, and achieve the beginning and prosperity. It can make the nature of things harmonious, each has its own benefits, and it can also make things strong and honest to end.
All in all, these are good words full of meaning.
It just so happens that the pronunciation of the word "Zhen" in Yuan Henry Zhen is similar to the word "Zhen" in Zhao Zhen.
In addition, Yuan also means the beginning of one Yuan.
What is the original?
This is also the first year of your reign.
Judging from the level of Qian Weiyan's naming, he definitely put a lot of thought into it, but his note also has a deeper meaning.
There is no precedent in this dynasty to regard the Queen Mother's birthday as a holy day.
Taking birthday as a festival is the privilege of the emperor!
Although military and state affairs were temporarily handled by Liu E, she was only the Queen Mother, not the Emperor.
When it comes to etiquette, any slight change is a big deal, especially when it concerns the emperor's etiquette.
Qian Weiyan's memorial was the only one that Liu E did not approve of. He neither agreed, objected, nor stayed in it.
Obviously, this memorial was specially inserted by Liu E.
It is estimated that Liu E wanted to test Li Jie's intentions.
If it had been a few months ago, Liu E most likely would not have asked for the official's opinion, and would have half-heartedly accepted her birthday as Changning Festival.
But this time, that time.
Now Liu E has realized an important issue.
The official family is not a young emperor that she can manipulate at will.
Although I don’t know why the official’s personality has changed so drastically, it is a fact that cannot be avoided or escaped.
Sooner or later, officials will take charge of the government, it's just a matter of time.
After withdrawing his thoughts, Li Jie put aside Qian Weiyan's memorial. He would not give approval to this letter.
Not taking a stand is the best option.
When Qian Weiyan's memorial was circulated in the court, Li Jie happened to use this memorial to see the tendencies of the officials.
Those who agree are mostly opportunistic people, either Liu E's people, or people who are rushing to curry favor with Liu E.
Those who object can pay more attention to it in the future.
"Guardian, Lei Abban is here. He is waiting in the outer hall, waiting to be summoned."
At this moment, Zhang Maoze's voice suddenly sounded.
"Let him wait."
Li Jie did not summon Lei Yungong immediately because he found that Lei Yungong had been a little distracted recently.
Although Lei Yungong's attitude is still nothing to say, even if he is in the imperial mausoleum, he still writes a secret report every day and never fails.
But when it was left outside, this guy started to tremble.
Li Jie learned about this news from the eldest princess of the country of Hebei. Lei Yungong had recently adopted an adopted son outside the palace.
His adopted son doesn't have a very good reputation.
On the other side, when Lei Yungong learned that the officials had asked him to wait, his heart suddenly lifted.
Are the officials dissatisfied with themselves?
After pondering for a while, Lei Yungong became more and more confused.
It seems like you didn't do anything wrong?
Which of the things assigned by the officials did he not do his best to handle?
For a long time, Lei Yungong didn't have a clear idea. Slowly, he turned his attention to Zhang Maoze who was standing at the door of the inner hall.
Then, he winked at Zhang Mao several times.

I’m so uncomfortable, RNG is in the loser’s bracket. Alas, I don’t know if I can recover in two days. I hope the entire RNG team can recover as soon as possible and advance from the loser’s bracket.
