Chapter 606: Qin Xue Shi at the Turning Point of History (Part 2)
In any case, through the joint efforts of Yan Song and Qin Dewei, Emperor Jiajing's mood was finally calmed down.
At this time, the ministers are really not very demanding. Your Majesty, just stop being crazy and thinking about deposing Queen Mother Zhang! Your mother's death has nothing to do with Queen Mother Zhang!
Then what the monarch and his ministers wanted to discuss was the burial of Empress Dowager Chiang.
Originally, this was not a problem. There were strict etiquette regulations for the burial of emperors and empresses, and there were many precedents to follow, so just follow the steps.
If the empress dowager who ascends the throne after the Yuan Dynasty dies, then she should be buried in the late emperor’s mausoleum in Tianshou Mountain, buried with the late emperor, and then the deity will enter the Taimiao Temple and be placed next to the late emperor.
If it is only the emperor's biological mother but not the empress of Yuan Dynasty, she can only be buried next to the late emperor's tomb, and the goddess can only be placed in the grand inner hall to honor the late emperor.
But the problem is that Emperor Jiajing and his family are too special.
The biological father who was just posthumously recognized as the late Emperor Ruizong is still buried in Chunde Mountain in Chengtianfu, Huguang.
After more than ten years of Emperor Jiajing's tireless efforts to discuss rituals, the ritual system became more and more complex, and the situation became more and more special.
Therefore, the ministers had no idea about this problem, and even Emperor Jiajing himself had no idea.
Others can remain silent about such matters, but the Cabinet and the Ministry of Rites cannot.
Xia Yan, the chief assistant, was the first to speak: "I have been ordered to survey the terrain and customs of the mountains and mausoleums for several years, and found a mountain southwest of Chengzu Changling, called Dayu, which is actually auspicious soil.
You can move the Xianling Mausoleum to the north, welcome Ruizong's Zi Palace to Dayu Mountain, and then bury the Holy Mother and the late emperor together. It's the best of both worlds!"
Emperor Jiajing was a little moved. The advantage of doing this was that once and for all, his father and his ancestors could live together in the same place.
Before he could finish considering the pros and cons, Qin Dewei came out of nowhere and quickly dissuaded him: "What the chief assistant said is inappropriate!
I imagine that the late Emperor's body was kept in the body for twenty years. Once it is exposed to the wind and dust, it is shaken far away from the road, and the late Emperor's spirit in heaven is disturbed. How can the heart of the holy bow be at ease!"
Emperor Jiajing frowned and said subconsciously: "This statement is also reasonable."
As a filial son, there was something wrong with digging up his father's grave and digging out his father's coffin from the mausoleum, and Emperor Jiajing felt quite uncomfortable about it.
University Scholar Yan Song waited until this time and felt that his opportunity had come again.
The general plan is nothing more than two, the late emperor goes north and the Holy Mother goes south. The result is that the emperor chooses one of the two.
Since the emperor has not agreed to the northward plan, he can speculate on the southward plan.
Mr. Yan Ge's reaction was really not slow. He did what he thought of and immediately came out and said to Emperor Jiajing:
"To keep the body upright and the emotions peaceful, there is no better way than to go to the Xianling Mausoleum in the south of the Palace of the Blessed Virgin Mary and to be buried in the cave with the late emperor."
Everyone in the hall also weighed it in their minds. Compared with the late emperor's plan to go north, the Our Lady's plan to go south would actually save some manpower and material resources.
But Qin Dewei appeared out of nowhere and quickly dissuaded him: "What Yan Song said is inappropriate!"
[Recommended, Chashu is really easy to use, download it here and try it out soon.]
It's inappropriate for you to be paralyzed! Yan Song almost lost his composure and spat it back on the spot. He was afraid of being accused of having committed an act of indecency in front of the palace, so he held it back.
He then heard Qin Dewei continue to say: "Everyone knows that Your Majesty has a filial nature. If the late emperor and the Virgin Mary are buried together in the Xianling Mausoleum of Chengtian Mansion, thousands of miles away from His Majesty, and Your Majesty wants to visit the mausoleum to pay homage to the late Emperor's Virgin Mary, what should he do?"
Emperor Jiajing frowned slightly again. Qin Dewei was still thoughtful. This was indeed a problem.
Yan Song and Yan Ge were angry. This won't work, and that won't work either, but you, Qin Dewei, have come up with a feasible solution!
He couldn't help but asked: "I wonder, Qin Dewei, what plan do you have in preparation for the sage's inquiry?"
Qin Dewei then reported: "Place the Holy Mother's Palace in Dayu Mountain in Changping, and then bury the late emperor's clothes and clothes with the Holy Mother. This way, it can be with the tombs of our ancestors, and your Majesty can pay tribute at all times."
Yan Song questioned: "This is also very inappropriate for you. Do you want the late emperor to display the mausoleum alone?"
Qin Dewei ignored Yan Song and continued: "At the same time, the Holy Mother's clothes are enshrined in the Xian Mausoleum in the south, and she is buried together with the late emperor Zi Palace. Both places have their own etiquette. This is a comprehensive plan."
After listening to Qin Dewei's plan, everyone in the palace had to admit that this was the most worry-free and trouble-free way.
Compared to the late emperor going north and the Holy Mother going south, the ministers still preferred Qin Dewei's plan of being buried in two places, at least with less fuss.
Yan Song had nothing to say about this.
But Emperor Jiajing still felt that it was not perfect. What he wanted was not peace of mind and trouble, but satisfaction.
But Emperor Jiajing himself was still undecided, as it seemed that all methods had problems.
This made the emotionally unstable Emperor Jiajing very upset, and he suddenly said: "I want to visit the south of the Xianling Tomb in February next year, conduct on-site inspection of the condition of the Xianling Tomb, and then decide whether to move the Ci Palace to the south of the Xianling Mausoleum!"
The ministers were all stunned. Why did Your Majesty think of doing this all at once? Why did he think of the southern tour again?
Your Majesty, if you consider whether to transport the Palace of Our Lady to the Xianling Tomb in Chengtian Mansion, it would be fine to send an official to inspect the condition of the Xianling Tomb. Why go there yourself!
Before others could think of how to persuade them, Qin Dewei appeared out of nowhere and said to Emperor Jiajing: "No, Your Majesty!"
Everyone was a little surprised. They didn't expect that Qin Dewei would dare to rush out to give advice for the first time.
Emperor Jiajing said angrily: "Why not?"
Qin Dewei did not flinch, and urged hard: "I think that your majesty is grieving too much, and the holy body is often worn out, not to mention that he often had a little unhappiness in winter and spring in previous years!
If we travel long distances, are exhausted by boating and traveling, and are exposed to the wind and dust, if the Holy Body is out of harmony and the Sacred Heart is not smooth, who will let it go?"
The stubborn Emperor Jiajing said coldly: "I am not afraid of hard work, it's just my mother!"
Qin Dewei further advised: "February of next year is too short. If we rush the trip, it will be difficult to make thorough preparations along the way. I'm afraid there may be more accidents!"
What's more, if Your Majesty goes south to Chengtian, if the northern captives know the truth and take the opportunity to invade, I'm afraid the situation will be dangerous!"
Several more ministers came out, including Xu Zan from the Ministry of Personnel, Wang Yiqi from the Ministry of Hubu and others, following Qin Dewei, and they all advised Emperor Jiajing not to tour the south.
Someone who spoke fiercely said directly to the matter: "The warehouses along the way have been empty in recent years. Wherever the Holy Emperor comes, he will disturb the place and waste the people and money!"
Emperor Jiajing turned a deaf ear and stood up and said, "I have made up my mind and I won't say anything more!"
After saying that, he withdrew from the court, leaving only helpless ministers.
When the ministers were about to disperse, they suddenly saw Qin Dewei standing in front of Yan Song and staring at Yan Song seriously.
Is there anything good to watch? Everyone slowed down and looked at Bachelor Qin and Elder Yan Ge curiously.
I saw Academician Qin glaring with eyes like bells, pointing like a halberd, and shouted loudly at Mr. Yan Ge: "You are really a traitor!
If you hadn't ignored the poor shape of the Chunde Hill in Xianling Mausoleum and advised the Concubine of Our Lady to move south, how could you have aroused the emperor's desire to tour the south?
I didn’t see you trying to dissuade me just now. If any situation arises as a result, it is all your fault and you must be responsible for it!"
While everyone was thoughtful, Qin Dewei turned around and left after speaking, leaving only an upright figure behind.
