Ordinary people far away from the capital only knew some information at this time, but the officials in the capital were shaken and uneasy because of another incident.
Zhu Houcong himself never expected that such a change would happen. Now he is in the Qingning Palace, and the palace is full of sorrow.
"Wake up, the Queen Mother is awake."
Hearing the sound inside, Zhu Houcong stood up and went to Empress Dowager Jiang's bedroom with Sun Ming.
And as soon as he walked in, he heard Empress Dowager Jiang crying heartbrokenly.
"Mother, it's better to express my condolences and take care of yourself..."
Zhu Houcong could only say this, after all, the person who just died of illness was his biological sister.
After hearing his words, Empress Dowager Jiang said loudly in the turmoil of grief: "If you hadn't sent Chengye to Jiangxi back then, how could she be so depressed? How could she have given birth to a child if she hadn't been mentally damaged?
Isn’t it better? Pity my grandson..."
Zhu Houcong could only smile bitterly and stand firm while being scolded.
At that time, he hoped that the emperor would accept "the teachings of saints", "the elimination of heresy" and "restoration of ancient peace".
At that time, he was also a disciple of Yang Tinghe. Later, he opposed Yang Tinghe. Later, he became a loyal minister of the new law.
He was scolded by his mother, thinking about the young face in this world who was closely related to him by blood, thinking about An Bin and his son who had never cried to him, thinking about Yang Tinghe, Yang Yiqing, and Liang Chu over the years.
, the scenes between Wei Bin, Xu Guangzuo, Gu Shilong and others made me truly feel that a stage in my life had passed.
This matter fell on Yan Song, who is now the Minister of Rites.
The young Tang Shunzhi has been sent to the three sides of Shaanxi Province, and the National Policy Palace has officially entered its fifth year. In addition to Southern Zhili, the provincial capitals, prefectures and counties of Ming Dynasty already have a new system, and the enterprises under the Huangming Assets Bureau are working according to
His request was a clumsy attempt to lay a more solid foundation for Ming industry and commerce.
Zhu Houcong didn't know that his sister had died earlier. She got married in the second year of Jiajing and passed away in the fourth year of Jiajing, at only twenty years old.
What kind of thing can you do so that you will be worthy of the title of hero after your death and be able to sit high in the Hall of Heroes and overlook those who will come after you?
The Ming Dynasty is about to establish a prince.
It is true that we have not yet reached the so-called age of great conflict, but after all, the sails of the West are already flying, and the looms on an island are urging people to fence the land for sheep. When the gears of the industrial revolution begin to turn, there will be no mercy for the future.
Any weakling who enters the forest of the world as the connection between different continents strengthens.
It was the young emperor who insisted on being granted the title of Three Dukes while he was still alive. At first, he had bad intentions, then he wanted to lay out new laws, and then... he was sincerely paying respect to him.
He only needs to go once and come back.
"Yang Gongtinghe presented the grand master, Jingning Marquis, sacrifices and burials, the posthumous title Wenzheng, and the entry of the god into the temple. Yang Gong strongly advocated for me to succeed the great unification, presided over the trial implementation of new laws, and promoted actions. He made great contributions to the new dynasty. His son used
He was granted the title of Jing Ning Bo, the crown prince was given the title of Shaobao, and he was granted the bachelor degree of Zuo Chunfang. The head of the Yang family was promoted to the middle rank of County Wanglang in the court, and entered the Sichuan Xiangxian Academy."
Yan Song was shocked.
Every time civil and military officials enter and leave the Meridian Gate, they can see their stone tablets and think of their achievements.
Now I can only be taught a lesson by my mother first, and letting her vent her emotions can easily relieve her grief.
I don’t know when I will see the emperor who I can’t see through again, so I will wait with Ying Ning first, so I won’t be lonely...
On the fifth day of June in the ninth year of Jiajing's reign, the news of Yang Tinghe's death was delivered to Beijing together with his posthumous writings, and the big bell in the bell tower rang nine more times.
Not only that, she also vented the rest of her dissatisfaction.
By the ninth year of Jiajing, the new dynasty would finally have a prince.
Although the emperor's face was smiling bitterly, it was only a bitter smile.
The Ming Dynasty must move forward resolutely in the general trend of the new law, and it took Zhu Houcong ten years to actively plan for what he wanted to do when he took this high position.
Yan Song continued to take a breath of cold air - it has not yet been decided whether there will be a Huaiyang Chief Envoy in Southern Zhili. The three provinces in the south will continue to collect grain and tax directly from the Ministry of Household Affairs in Beijing this year. If it is because the Minister of the Ministry of Households is temporarily on leave, it will be done What tricks, Zhang Fujing, who is in charge of household affairs, is not a good person...
Not only because of this favor, but also because of the great bachelor Zuo Chunfang.
From the Yang family in Xindu County, Chengdu Prefecture, Yang Tinghe also leaned weakly on the soft pillow and read in a weak and trembling voice.
But in the eyes of outsiders, this was another gamble by Yang Tinghe before his death, to create another emperor master for the Yang family - wasn't Yang Shen already a guest of the prince?
After Yang Shen learned the news, he naturally set off at night to return to his hometown.
Yan Song didn't know that he would live to be over eighty, but now he has a different life, who can say for sure?
"Who can say for sure..." Sitting in the royal study, Zhu Houcong was in a trance and muttered to himself.
Now her consort is Yu Chengye, but by some strange combination of circumstances, she didn't get pregnant until the seventh year of Jiajing. She gave birth to a son successfully last year, but she still didn't escape the disaster this year.
Yan Song thought of Lingyan Pavilion, but above the five gates, the current Wufeng Tower is as big as the current Wufeng Tower. There are also thirteen verandahs on the left and right Yanchi Towers. Is it enough to accommodate a lot?
In this life, it is worthwhile to be the emperor's master, the chief assistant, and be awarded the title of Taifu while still alive.
The best way is probably to let the emperor's eldest son see off Yang Yiqing and then transfer from Yunnan to Sichuan.
The Empress Dowager Jiang was now extremely grieved, and naturally she didn't care about anything else. In her excitement, she just casually attributed the reason to Zhu Houcong who asked her to live apart from her husband shortly after their wedding.
All preparations are for the future.
The emperor's benevolent grace and his unconventional approach to promoting talents seemed to have aged the group of important ministers.
After Yu Chengye returned to Beijing, his sister's mood was actually very good and she looked quite sweet. But, are you sure that it wasn't just her behavior in front of others?
From His Majesty's title increase to Yang Shen - although it seems to be due to the legacy of Yang Tinghe's death - it has conveyed the emperor's attitude towards Yang Tinghe's request to establish a prince: Yes!
Zhu Houcong looked at his suicide note and writings in the imperial study room, and his eyes couldn't help but moisten slightly.
Zhu Houcong stood up and said: "Go to the Zhongyuan Hall. Today we will talk about geography."
Just as he felt when he first came to the throne, everything is a matter of human nature mixed with ideals, beliefs and interests.
Not everyone can enter the temple, where the incense and royal blood food offerings are the highest treatment.
In that case, Yang Tinghe would have to remain dormant for a long time. If Yang Tinghe had not been laid to rest, Yang Shen could not just come back.
"...I accept the decree! Your Majesty is wise! Since the Ming Dynasty, you have stabilized the country and the people, opened up frontiers and defended the territory, and the heroes of the Ming Dynasty have nothing to do with it! I know that your Majesty's heavenly grace is so great, and he will bless our Ming Dynasty for thousands of generations! The descendants of the future generations dare not to follow the example of the forefathers.
?Long live your Majesty! Long live! Long live your Majesty!”
But destiny is unpredictable, who can say for sure?
Zhu Houcong knew that he would probably live a long time, but he no longer cultivated immortality and stopped taking elixirs, so who could say for sure?
His life experience, the intrigues in official circles, government affairs and people's livelihood, and border disputes he had seen were all reanalyzed by him using practical studies and dialectics. He just wanted to prove one point: the new study was better than the previous official study and closer to the road.
He stared blankly at the curtain on the top of the bed, and vaguely saw himself in high spirits when he was awarded the Jinshi at the age of nineteen.
"Since the Ming Dynasty, heroes have emerged in large numbers. During the ten years of imperial rule, there have been countless meritorious officials. The Wufeng Tower was renamed the Hall of Yingjies. Stone tablets for civil and military heroes were engraved and erected under the Yanchi Tower on both sides so that those who came after them could admire their deeds. On the Hall of Yingjies, there are statues of
Listed in order to defend the Emperor's Ming Dynasty and to encourage future generations."
He won't be able to come back for a while, but now there is only one Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs? No one makes the decision, how chaotic will it be down there?
Ying Ning entered the temple, and with the things she had written for more than a year after returning home, she should be able to enter.
The Hall of Heroes and the Imperial Ancestral Temple, in this life, one has to have one of his posthumous names, right?
The Ming Dynasty has irreversibly embarked on a new path. Regardless of his original unwillingness, Yang Tinghe became one of the pioneers of this new path.
Huang Jin heard the emperor murmuring to himself again, and then the emperor's eyes gradually stopped being dazed and became more determined.
The eldest princess Yongfu died young at the age of twenty-five. The Ministry of Rites had just finished the funeral of Yang Yiqing and was busy with the funeral of the eldest princess Yongfu.
Zhu Houcong knew very well what he was doing, and he would not be shaken by it. His transformation of the Ming Dynasty and his arrangements for the future were destined to endure these incomprehensions.
I don’t know why, but after I left the court and relaxed my mind, I actually aged faster.
After Yang Tinghe finished reading the end of his suicide note, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
Yan Song has returned to the Ministry of Rites. He is too busy. He gave up the opportunity to enter the State Council and stayed in the Ministry of Rites. The promotion of new learning and new academic systems is his unchanging main line of work, but there is also a steady stream of ceremonial work to be done.
After that it's a new era.
Unfilial? In the three volumes of "Practice Collection", please establish a prince and seize love to keep him. The attitude shown by the Yang family is to stand firmly on the side of the emperor and on the side of the new learning.
Yang Tinghe thought of the old guy Liang Chu again. He escaped quickly and enjoyed a few more years of happiness.
But the purpose is not over yet.
Does it have anything to do with this? He wasn't sure.
Yan Song thought about it and took time out of his busy schedule to write a letter home.
In the past, he compiled the "Ming Dynasty Zhongqi Jian", and now he will preside over the review of which heroes are qualified to enter the Hall of Heroes.
"...Fu Wei...the emperor...in the shape of a sage...will follow the sage's...way...to open up...for all eternity..."
A major event that will leave a name in history!
The most important thing is that His Majesty has obviously been planning such a solution for a long time.
However, everyone who participated in the national policy meeting already knew that Yang Shen would not follow his father's example of completely observing filial piety, but would only trade the sun for the moon and win the love for his retainer.
This matter will last for a long time. Yan Song understands that this is not just a matter to be discussed at the Ministry of Rites or the National Policy Conference, but to be discussed through "Ming Pao"!
For such a major event, how can the life achievements of the person finally selected be announced to the world without the "Ming Bao"? Without the Ming Bao, how can the officials and people of the world know right from wrong and know what to do?
Her death was generally due to physical reasons, especially reasons related to pregnancy and childbirth.
Yan Song stood in the imperial study room and looked at the emperor's moist eyes, feeling emotional in his heart.
It also happened to be that a transitional stage of the Ming Dynasty had passed.
That was probably after he also became the general manager and left the position of general manager.
Zhu Houcong finally spoke, and Yan Song and others were stunned.
Is it the death of the eldest princess or the constant passing of old ministers in the past few years that makes His Majesty feel that it is time to consider these things? Even though he is still only twenty-four years old.
He thought of his son again.
Yang Tinghe was once what he thought was his biggest enemy, but later he accidentally became the leader of his new party to implement the new law. Now, Yang Tinghe found that the emperor had an unyielding momentum and "betrayed" too many things he had adhered to during the Zhengde Dynasty.
thing.
Yang Shen might not be able to come back for a while... Yan Song's eyes suddenly condensed.
When you pass through the gate, there will be their statues above your head. They will always stand at the south gate of the Forbidden City, guarding the emperor and inspiring the subsequent generations of civil and military ministers.
But at this moment, there is another big event.
"In a time of great strife, countries frequently fight against each other. The strong will become stronger, and the weak will perish..."
Sun Ming looked at Zhu Houcong with worried eyes.
It has been more than ten years since he ascended the throne in the 16th year of Zhengde to May of the 9th year of Jiajing.
Now that you have embarked on a new road, let's end it.
The edict issued from the imperial study room was then drafted and passed through the State Council and the Sixth Science and Technology Commission.
"...It was fun to watch."
I feel that my life is gradually passing away, maybe it’s not far away, just these two days.
"Prepare the decree."
"Zaiyuan is not yet nine years old! You asked him to go all the way to Yunnan again. If there are three long and two shortcomings, how do you want me to live? Is there any mission that must be done by him as a child? He only has national affairs in his eyes, and he is always struggling.
,toss……"
As he read, he recalled the scene when he gave the emperor a sutra feast for the first time.
Zhu Houcong finished reciting the line he remembered and came out of the emotional impact of Yang Tinghe's death.
"Practice Collection".
Throughout the day, the officials working inside and outside the Forbidden City all looked towards the Meridian Gate from time to time.
Now, with the passing of Yang Tinghe and these three volumes of "Collection of Practices", we need to reorganize the merits and demerits of the civil servants and generals of the Ming Dynasty. This is to sort out the standards and change the thinking of the officials and the people of the world.
The news came back that I had accepted the Yellow Sect and was trying to find ways to preach on the grasslands in order to "mobilize the masses" in the future. Over in Jiaozhi, Zhang Boring was trying to find a way for Ruan Gan to find a descendant of the Li family. He was sent to Turpan to promote the mission of Wu Zang
The envoys are staying in Xining, waiting for replies from the more complicated Western Regions and Tibet. Korea, Duoyan, and Ryukyu have already welcomed the Ming Dynasty's diplomatic envoys, and Japan is still fighting back and forth.
And in the suicide note, after all, it was Yang Tinghe himself who publicly asked to establish a prince and open Zhanshifu. There were many deep meanings, but there was only one superficial reason: the emperor was young, in good health, and had many heirs. Now that the central government has changed a lot, it should be decided early.
East Palace to avoid unrest in people's hearts in the future.
Isn't the reason why all the officials are in turmoil and unrest because the emperor was "moody" last year because of the death of Concubine An? Now that a few words from the palace have come out, the Queen Mother still wants to blame the emperor. It's hard to say what kind of emperor he is.
reaction.
The emperor walked towards the Central Round Hall, where the royal family and empresses were present.
"Yes, let me prepare the map..."
Seeing that his brother stopped writing, Yang Tinghe spoke again: "I asked you... to follow the new system... you don't have to learn from me... to keep your filial piety..."
The establishment of a prince is not only for the stability of the unification and the future of the government, but also for the sake of inheritance.
But he was a little curious. Yang Yiqing had the emperor's eldest son at his funeral, but what about Yang Tinghe?
At this moment, after traveling through mountains and rivers, Yang Yiqing's coffin has not yet returned home.
Soon, there will be a deeper meaning there.
In the short term, the prince is still young, and it is just a matter of who will be the emperor's master and who will be the ministers of the East Palace. But in a few years, the structure of the court will be very different.
It's been ten years.
It's just that at this moment, they don't know about another situation.
But now there is a Hall of Heroes located on the Meridian Gate. From then on, the life achievements of the heroes will be written on the stone tablets, which will be erected under the Yanchi Tower outside the Meridian Gate.
Their statues are even erected in the Hall of Heroes.
With your Majesty's trust, Mr. Yan now has great influence in Fenyi's hometown, and his influence in the court is equally great.
He has many close relatives and friends, and now of course he has to remind them in a subtle way: the new law is to enrich the country, and it requires more money.
