"I, Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, have made great contributions to the founding of the country in all dynasties. The title of Taizu is unparalleled in ancient and modern times!"
Before anyone else could react, Li Zhigang kowtowed to the ground, "Your Majesty has a clear vision for thousands of miles, and I can't catch up with you! Long live my Emperor! Long live my Emperor! Long live Emperor Gao, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty!"
When he kneels like this, others can only kneel down and say long live.
"This man...has two skills!" Li Jinglong looked on coldly, feeling more and more that this Minister Li was not simple.
But when I turned my head inadvertently and saw Zhu Yunxi's profile, my heart immediately skipped a beat.
Because he clearly saw an unhappy look flash across the emperor's eyes.
"It's flattering!" Li Jinglong immediately understood the reason for the emperor's displeasure and sneered in his heart, "This flattering situation is wrong, the timing is wrong, and it's too explicit! The emperor felt very uncomfortable at this time, and he didn't want to
What are you saying, long live? Besides, the old man is still lying inside, so you are shouting long live outside?"
Thinking about it, he curled his lips and looked at Li Zhigang and continued in his mind, "This guy, I can only deal with him at noon in the future, because sooner or later something will happen to him!"
Sure enough, Zhu Yunxi waved his hands impatiently, "Get up! Long live whatever comes with you. Did I call you here to hear your shouts of long live?"
As he spoke, he frowned and looked at the ministers, suppressing the anger in his heart, "The temple name has been decided, now let's talk about the posthumous name of the Supreme Emperor!" At this point, he looked at the ministers, "Xueshi Fang, tell me!
"
Fang Xiaoru stood in the second row among the civil servants, pondered for a moment, and said, "The great emperor of our dynasty, Emperor Gao, is different from the founders of the past dynasties. The Han Dynasty succeeded the Qin Dynasty. Although the Qin Dynasty was violent, the Han Dynasty also unified the Qin Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty
The positions of Yuan and Sui are far inferior to my Ming Dynasty!"
"The Ming Dynasty began with a slight rise in the people's vibrancy in the sky, and was different from the land and people that existed since ancient times in the mid-Xia Dynasty of the previous dynasty. It borders the icy land in the north and the vast sea in the south, and the desert in the west and the barbarism in the south. Under the rule
There are Han people and Yi people, and they are all subject to the legal system of the Han family!"
"Shilang Li just said something, and I agree with it very much. Emperor Gao made great achievements in the mid-Xia Dynasty and reestablished the righteous way of heaven and earth. Only then can today's Ming Dynasty be the orthodoxy for the world and all the nations come to court!"
"Taizu's reign was named Hongwu, which reflects his great martial arts! In addition to martial arts, Emperor Gao had the longest reign among the founders of the country, more than thirty years."
"For thirty years, Emperor Gao has worked conscientiously. There is not a day when he does not miss the common people, and there is not a day when he does not remember the common people in the world. He hates corrupt officials and affirms the laws of his ancestors. He is strict with himself, abstains from luxury and enjoyment, and abstains from playing in palaces and gardens.
, is a model for emperors and a collection of the great achievements of emperors of all dynasties."
As he spoke, Fang Xiaoru frowned and said in a deep voice, "I think this is the posthumous title of the Daxing Emperor... Qin Ming Qi Yun Jun De succeeded in unifying the heavens and the great filial piety... Gao Emperor!"
Qinming means that the old man overthrew the Yuan Dynasty and established the Ming Dynasty.
Destiny is the beginning of the ten thousand-year national destiny of the Han family and the restoration of its prestige.
This posthumous title is very good!
But Zhu Yunxi still felt that there were some shortcomings.
It is not enough to summarize the grand old man's magnificent life, nor to describe his achievements, nor to let future generations understand what kind of emperor the old man was.
Zhu Yunxi only heard the shortcomings in the posthumous title, but as a scholar, Li Zhigang heard that there were many omissions in the posthumous title.
I don’t know if this omission was intentional or if I just didn’t think of it!
But based on Li Zhigang's understanding of these so-called honest scholars, it is probably the former.
The posthumous title only mentioned the great achievements of the Supreme Emperor, but it did not mention a word about his conduct, virtues, and other virtues!
Thinking of this, Li Zhigang couldn't help but look at the emperor.
~
Zhu Yunxi was also thinking deeply. This posthumous title seemed to be the posthumous title given to the old man by Emperor Jianwen in history.
At the same time, this posthumous title was also one of the reasons why King Zhu Di of Yan declared Emperor Jianwen guilty of unfilial piety when he raised his troops.
He could also think of the problems that Li Zhigang could think of. So while he was thinking, he raised his head slightly and searched the officials with his eyes.
Coincidentally, he met Li Zhigang's longing eyes, so Zhu Yunxi nodded calmly.
~~
"Xueshi Fang's posthumous title is good, but I think it's too general!"
Li Zhigang spoke again and once again attracted everyone's attention.
"In addition to merit, in terms of personal morality, in my opinion, the Supreme Emperor is the number one person in history!" Li Zhigang continued, "Be diligent in government, love the people, cherish the virtuous, and respect the saints!"
These words immediately made people feel mixed with emotions.
Diligence and love for the people are true, but respecting the virtuous and respecting the saints may be open to question!
Since Emperor Hongwu ruled the world, it has always been Qiangang's dictatorship. The so-called sage refers to the desire for virtuous people to assist, but did the Ming Dynasty have such people? Respect the saints? Emperor Hongwu was in power for more than 30 years and organized an army of 100,000.
How many times can Confucius be worshiped during the large-scale Northern Expedition mentioned above?
"So I think, should I add a few words?" Li Zhigang said again, "Holy God Civil and Military!"
As he spoke, he continued, "The Supreme Emperor was born in commoners. Since ancient times, is it true that commoners have conquered the world? What's more, our Ming Dynasty is a unified dynasty. In the past thirty years, the people of the Yuan Dynasty have lived in poverty to the present glorious and prosperous age!"
"The Holy Spirit of Civil and Military Affairs means that at the beginning of the founding of the Supreme Emperor, he placed great emphasis on civil servants and generals, and he was open-minded to learn from others, and understood that governing the world through civility is the best way to govern the country. After he conquered the world, he learned the lessons of the emperors of the past generations, and at the same time he had the courage to do so.
The meaning of being good at fighting and being both civil and military!"
As he said this, Li Zhigang glanced at Zhu Yunxi and realized that the emperor seemed not very satisfied with the word he added.
So he immediately changed his tone, "The reason why we say that the Supreme Emperor is far superior to all the previous monarchs by one generation. That is to affirm our Ming Dynasty family law!"
"Restore Han rites, build schools, educate talented people, and establish laws and regulations! Especially laws and regulations, the world has laws and rules, and only with rules can there be order."
"The Supreme Emperor Gao can conquer the world, and his virtue will be spread all over the world. He will care for all the people. I heard that when Haozhou raised troops, Emperor Gao often lamented the harm done by corrupt officials in the world, so he gave instructions to his generals to treat the people well, and he was candid every word.
.”
"It is also because he cares about the people of the world and wants to get rid of corrupt officials and then quickly, so wherever the king's master searches, the people eat pots of pulp, and the people of the world are willing to return and serve him, and they are happy to die!"
These words made everyone feel even more complicated.
In the beginning, Emperor Hongwu was indeed a courteous and virtuous man. But after he established himself in power, he imposed severe punishments on the officials of the world and frequently tortured and killed people.
Is there any question about the word "ritual"?
Zhu Yunxi nodded slowly when he heard this.
Li Zhigang's words not only explained the old man's achievements, but also expressed the old man's character. They also expressed the old man's personality charm and foresight in troubled times.
"What do you think?" Zhu Yunxi asked.
"Ordinary words, I find it difficult to describe!" Li Zhigang thought about it and said, "In the turbulent times of the late Yuan Dynasty, all living things were devastated and the way of heaven was unfair. But the Supreme Emperor, the Supreme Emperor, reopened the way of heaven!"
"Be both civil and military, be virtuous, be elegant and have compassion, and be virtuous and virtuous!"
"Concern for the country and the people is like the heart of a god!"
As he spoke, Li Zhigang said solemnly, "The great sage, the supreme god, the righteousness, the martial arts, the virtues, the great success of the Dao Zhaoji of Kaitian!"
"Okay!" Zhu Yunxi looked at Li Zhigang for a while, "I'll just follow your words!"
As he was talking, Deng Ping slowly approached Zhu Yunxi and whispered in his ear, "Long live the Lord!"
"explain!"
"Sixth Master and others said..." Deng Ping hesitated for a moment, "Sixth Master and others said that they were discussing the posthumous title of the Supreme Emperor, and they also want to hear it!"
Zhu Yunxi frowned fiercely. Before he could say anything, another guard came forward and reported, "Your Majesty, the two kings of Qin and Jin and the King of Shu are also here!"
Li Jinglong next to him heard it clearly and sighed in his heart, "It's lively! It's going to be lively soon!"
