Chapter 423: Have I changed from Ming Taizong to Ming Chengzu? Zhu Di was anxious: Zhu Houcong, you
Zhu Di was somewhat confused by Han Cheng's gaze.
I wonder why after talking about Jiajing for a while, the second brother-in-law looked at me with such a strange expression?
This made Zhu Di somewhat panicked.
Don't understand what's going on.
This...couldn't this be something related to me again?
It shouldn’t be!
According to the original history, Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong was the great-grandson of his grandson Zhu Zhanji.
Even Zhu Zhanji, the trash Zhu Qizhen, Zhu Jianshen, and Zhu Youtang are not too old.
But after all, there were several generations in between.
It's been many years.
What's going on, it has nothing to do with yourself, right?
Why now...the second brother-in-law is looking at me like this?
Zhu Di couldn't help looking at Han Cheng and asking.
Han Cheng thought about what happened between Jiajing and Zhu Di and said:
"Well... Fourth Brother, if you really want to talk about it, there is a deep connection between Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong and you, Fourth Brother.
It's not just your descendants. He did some things later and has a deep relationship with you. "
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment when he heard what Han Cheng said.
No... this is actually the Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong who caused something related to him?
There have been so many years between this, what does it have to do with me?
What I thought was the most impossible thing to happen actually became true?
Zhu Biao next to him obviously knew the truth of the matter.
But he didn't say much about it.
I just waited there quietly for things to develop and see what my second brother-in-law said.
"To be specific, it actually has a lot to do with Emperor Jiajing's fight for his father's status."
It would be better if Han Cheng didn't say this, but once he said this. Zhu Di looked even more confused.
What is this all about?
Why does this involve Zhu Houcong fighting for his father's status?
They just fight for what's theirs, what does it have to do with their ancestors who have died so many years ago?
Even though Zhu Di is rough on the outside and delicate on the inside, he is a very smart person on the inside.
But at this time, he was also confused by what Han Cheng said.
No matter how he thought about it, it was difficult for him to get any associations from it.
"Second brother-in-law, what's going on?"
He couldn't help but look at Han Cheng and asked again.
Han Cheng said: "Fourth brother, don't be anxious yet.
Listen to me tell you slowly.
This matter will naturally be revealed."
When Zhu Di heard what Han Cheng said, he felt uncomfortable in his heart.
This was even more difficult than when he was reading a storybook and saw a wonderful part, but suddenly found that the wonderful part was cut off.
However, after being in contact with him for such a long time, he had already become somewhat accustomed to his second brother-in-law's actions on some matters.
I always like to say half and half.
Wait until later, and then I will slowly unfold it for you.
Perhaps, it also has a lot to do with what the second brother-in-law said that he wrote story novels in later generations.
Just like the storyteller, in order to attract people and not let the audience leave, the storyteller will often come at important moments to tell you what happened next. Please listen to the next chapter.
The second sister now says that she is accustomed to doing things this way, and it is an occupational disease.
“The Great Etiquette War did not end completely just because Yang Tinghe retreated.
That was just a phased victory.
But the real problem remains unresolved.
Yang Tinghe felt extremely dissatisfied after being put in such a big way by the little emperor.
He, Yang Tinghe, has never suffered such a big loss!
So after Yang Tinghe left, Yang Tinghe's protégés, former officials, and lackeys soon began to confront Emperor Jiajing.
The Great Etiquette Controversy arose again.
In this matter, there must be a distinction.
Wang Jun, the Minister of Rites, was planning to make a collective remonstrance.
It happened that Hou Tingxun, the chief minister, wrote "Dali Bian" according to the clan law.
Accordingly, Qiao Yu, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and others led nearly 250 ministers to make speeches together.
He clearly opposed Jiajing and took Xingxian as the emperor.
Emperor Jiajing was displeased, and his response was simple, which was to order more officials to participate in the discussion.
These people cannot just be allowed to speak.
But the result was somewhat unexpected.
Thirty-two people including Zhang Chong and thirty-one people including the imperial censor Zheng Bengong were given.
Zou Shouyi and others also resisted Zhang Li's theory.
Tang Gao, the number one scholar in the imperial examination, also wrote in the book: "Your Majesty should take the exam to distinguish the orthodox ones, and give birth to Long to prepare for the honorific title."
On the surface, they are mediating, but in fact they tend to oppose.
Because Zou Shouyi was Wang Yangming's eldest disciple and Tang Gao was the number one scholar in the previous dynasty, they were both influential civil servants in the dynasty.
This incident was not too small a blow to Emperor Jiajing.
After all, he felt that after this series of operations, he had some power among civil servants.
But who would have thought that when encountering such a thing, there would still be more people standing on the opposite side of themselves.
Jiajing became angry because of this.
Those who spoke out this time were reprimanded, fined, or even dismissed!
In the end, Wang Jun and others had no choice but to compromise: they allowed Emperor Xingxian and Queen Mother Xingguo to each add the word "emperor" in preparation for their honorific titles.
In March of the third year of Jiajing's reign, Emperor Jiajing had no choice but to reluctantly agree and call his father "Emperor Benshenghuang Kaogongmuxian".
The mother is the 'birth mother, the Empress Dowager Zhangsheng'.
Honoring the grandmother Shao, she was granted the title of Empress Dowager Shouan.
This time, although it sounds like the result has been good.
Jiajing's biological father is honored as Huang Kao, and his biological mother can be called the Empress Dowager.
However, as soon as the word 'Japanese' is added to the above, the meaning of many things suddenly changes.
It is equivalent to saying yes, and only recognizing the biological parents of Emperor Jiajing as his biological parents.
But from a legal point of view, he is still a small sect entering a large sect.
His legal parents were Xiaozong Zhu Youtang and Empress Dowager Zhang.
Emperor Jiajing fought for several years, and although he achieved certain results, he still did not achieve the final victory.
On the whole, they were suppressed by the civil servants.
Regarding these, Emperor Jiajing was naturally dissatisfied.
Don't want this to continue to happen.
So in July of that year, the counterattack from Emperor Jiajing came.
The debate over the ceremony was also pushed to its climax.
Jiajing suddenly issued an order to the Ministry of Rites, and on the 14th, he wrote a memorial for his parents and offered sacrifices to heaven and earth, the ancestral temple, and the country. The officials were in an uproar!
Just as the morning dynasty had just ended, He Mengchun, the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, advocated to everyone: During the reign of Emperor Xianzong, hundreds of officials cried out in front of the Wenhua Gate to compete for the Empress Dowager Ciyi and held a funeral ceremony. Emperor Xianzong obeyed.
This is an old thing of this dynasty.
I can follow suit!
Yang Shen, the son of Yang Tinghe and the number one scholar, also said impassionedly: The country has supported scholars for 150 years, and he died adhering to integrity and righteousness, today!
Later, the editor Wang Yuanzheng, Zhang Chong and others in the incident were in the south of Jinshui Bridge, blocking and retaining the ministers.
He Mengchun, Jin Xianmin, Xu Wenhua and others also called on the ministers.
Later, more than two hundred court ministers knelt down at Zuoshun Gate to ask Jiajing to change his will.
Jiajing was in the Wenhua Hall and heard loud cries outside the door.
He ordered the eunuchs to convey the order and ask these ministers to leave the court.
But the ministers were still lying on the ground until noon.
In an attempt to use this method to force Ming Jiajing to surrender.
Yang Shen and others shook the door and burst into tears, which shocked the courtyard.
Zhu Houcong waited for a while, but when he saw that these people still refused to leave, he was completely furious.
Directly ordered Jin Yiwei to arrest the eight leaders and send them to prison.
But such actions did not scare these civil servants.
On the contrary, it caused more people to behave more violently.
Many people rushed to Zuo Shun's door, banged it and cried.
Zhu Houcong again ordered that 134 officials below the fifth rank be imprisoned and tortured.
Eighty-six officials of fourth rank and above were suspended from duty pending conviction!
On July 16, Emperor Jiajing honored his mother as 'Empress Dowager Zhang Shengciren'.
It can be said that the matter was done directly under the pressure of the ministers.
On July 20, Jin Yiwei asked for instructions on how to deal with these arrested ministers.
Jiajing ordered that officials above the fourth rank should have their salaries suspended, and officials below the fifth rank should be held accountable.
A total of sixteen people were killed directly with the imperial staff!
With Emperor Jiajing's words, the officials who opposed the ceremony became silent.
Because they found that Emperor Jiajing was completely different from his cousin Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao generally did not kill officials.
But Zhu Houcong knows!
As a result, the three-year dispute over the ceremony ended with Zhu Houcong's victory.
Later, the emperor and the god were enshrined in the east room of Fengxian Hall, Guande Hall.
The title of the emperor is "Emperor Huang Kao Gong Mu Xian".
The biological mother was renamed 'The Holy Queen Mother of the Holy Mother Chapter'.
It was also renamed Emperor Xiaozongjing of the Ming Dynasty as 'Huang Bo Kao'.
After three years of fighting, Emperor Jiajing finally became his own father's son in terms of legal status...
The dispute over Daliyi is not just about this title.
It was a fierce confrontation between the new emperor and his old ministers after he ascended the throne.
It's just that this matter is treated as a battlefield.
The victory of the Great Ceremony was not only a victory in this matter, but also showed that Jiajing, the young emperor, had further taken power and got rid of the control of Yang Tinghe and others.
For the emperor, it is a great victory..."
"Okay! Okay! Well done!
Damn it, this is how you should treat them!
They are all bitches, biting their noses and touching their faces, not knowing what is good or bad, and showing no shame to their faces.
As a minister, he always wanted to limit the imperial power, compete with the emperor for power, and tame the emperor.
Instead of thinking about doing things well, they only focus on these crooked ways. "
This kid from Jiajing is really good. When I get to Jiajing time and space from now on, I will definitely reward him well!
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard what Han Cheng said. I couldn't help but cheer.
He no longer looked like he did before, wanting to whip Jiajing into a pine tree with a whip.
Emperor Jiajing, now, has naturally become what he calls a good boy.
It can only be said that Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction is really too real.
"It would be great if this kid Houzhao had the thoughts of this kid Houcong.
After all, that kid is too kind.
His ability to do things is very strong, and his ability to fight is not bad.
But from beginning to end, he was reluctant to completely break up with these officials.
I don't even want to kill them.
I just want to use his method to fight and take advantage of loopholes to do things.
However, he forgot that all of these people were scoundrels.
I'm used to taking things even further! As long as their lives are not endangered, all of these people are so arrogant and domineering.
It was obvious that they had many shameless hookups.
It's all about doing things for your own selfish reasons.
But he still behaves like a mother, confuses right and wrong, and pretends to be loyal.
For these people, there is no way to scare them without killing them! "
When Zhu Yuanzhang talked about this, he felt extremely sorry for Zhu Houzhao.
This kid is really capable, his only flaw is that he is too soft-hearted.
If you can combine the personalities and abilities of Houzhao and Houchun, then things will become perfect.
Zhu Di also smiled when he listened to Han Cheng's story and learned the final result of this great etiquette dispute.
He is also quite satisfied with the descendants of Emperor Jiajing Zhu Houcong.
"Where's Yang Tinghe?
What happened to this guy after he got there?
Don't say that Hou Xingqing ignored him after he won the victory. "
Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.
I want to see Yang Tinghe’s tragic end.
It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang was furious because of all the actions of Yang Ting and this guy.
I just wish I could cut him into pieces with a thousand knives!
Han Cheng said: "That's not true, Zhu Houcong is not such a generous person.
In the seventh year of Jiajing's reign, the Ming Lun Ceremony was completed.
Re-criminalize the Minister of Ceremonies.
Cut them directly into the people.
In the second year, Yang Tinghe soon died.
Lived seventy-one years. "
"Damn it"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he cursed angrily: "It's true that good people don't live long, and disasters last for thousands of years!
This bitch can actually live for such a long time?
How good would it be to give him a lot of care or a deep understanding of his life span?
How many more things can you do for my Ming Dynasty? ! "
Amid the curses, the decision was made.
Later, if he can follow Han Cheng to the Jiajing time and space, or the Zhengde time and space, he must make Yang Ting and this dog look good!
If he wasn't cut into pieces, he wouldn't be called Zhu Yuanzhang!
“Second brother-in-law, something…is not right about this matter.
You are not saying that I still have some relationship with Emperor Jiajing.
And it is related to him and the great rituals.
How come... after you finished talking about the great etiquette, you didn't hear anything about me? "
Zhu Di spoke up, looked at Han Cheng and asked the doubts in his heart.
Hearing Zhu Di's question, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately reacted.
Seems a little strange.
That's right, why didn't you hear about the fourth child?
Did Han Cheng forget to say something?
He had just told the fourth child clearly that the great etiquette dispute would involve the fourth child.
How is this... Yang Tinghe has been talked to death, and the great etiquette dispute has come to an end.
Also haven't you heard anything about the fourth child?
Han Cheng heard this and said: "Um...fourth brother, I will tell you right now,
But you have to make some preparations in advance.
Wait a minute and don't get mad. "
It would have been fine if Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di had not heard Han Cheng's words. As soon as they heard Han Cheng's words, their curiosity was immediately aroused.
No matter how they thought about it, they could never imagine that a later emperor, Zhu Houcong, who was so far away from Zhu Di, could do something to his ancestors who had been separated for a long time, so that Han Cheng could specifically propose such a wake-up call.
Ordinarily, there was so many years of difference between the two of them. Even if Zhu Houcong wanted to do something, it would not be that easy.
Han Cheng's voice had already sounded.
“In the seventeenth year of Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing did something else after careful consideration.
It's still about his dad.
He was a little dissatisfied with his previous titles.
Prepare to make his father emperor.
Try to cover up as much as possible the traces of him entering the big sect from a small sect.
Become more legitimate yourself.
So he posthumously named his father: Ruizong Zhitianshou Dao Hong Deyuan Renkuan Mu Chunsheng Gong Jian Jingwen Emperor
In short, it is Mingrui Sect. "
After hearing Han Cheng's story, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di were not too surprised.
After Jiajing became emperor, it was normal for him to posthumously title his father emperor.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang himself had many titles granted.
After ascending the throne, he posthumously conferred the title of emperor on his father, his grandfather, and his great ancestor.
Bring their tablets to the Ancestral Temple for worship.
After Jiajing had been emperor for more than ten years, it was only natural for him to have such thoughts.
But precisely because this is human nature, Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang became even more confused at this time.
It was obviously a normal operation, but why did Han Cheng say before that he had to be mentally prepared?
Could it be that this Jiajing did other things that angered the ancestors and cost their lives?
Han Cheng's voice continued: "Originally, this had nothing to do with the fourth brother, but the next few things implicated the fourth brother.
After posthumously conferring the title of emperor on his father, Emperor Jiajing was still not satisfied with it.
There are still some knots in my heart.
The problem is that although his father was posthumously made emperor.
However, the tablet was not entered into the Ancestral Temple.
After all, there is still some regret.
Originally, he had become the emperor when he entered the Ancestral Temple, and he had killed many people before due to ceremonial matters.
Many people were dismissed from office and demoted.
He wanted to do it, but at this time there were not many people in the court who dared to stop him too much.
It is also a relatively easy thing to do.
However, he encountered a rather embarrassing thing.
It was not that easy for his father to enter the Ancestral Temple.
The thing is, there is no place in the Ancestral Temple.
There are nine rooms in the Ancestral Temple, and in each room, one tablet is enshrined.
When your father-in-law was in power, you posthumously named your great-great-grandfather the ancestor of Mingde.
Enjoy the privilege of never leaving the Ancestral Temple...
After the memorial tablet of Ming Yingzong entered the Ancestral Temple, the Ancestral Temple was full.
Later, when the tablets of Du Xianzong, Xiaozong and Wuzong entered the Ancestral Temple, the imperial court moved the tablets of my father-in-law's great-grandfather, grandfather and father to make room for them.
Emperor Jiajing wants to send the tablet of his father, Ming Ruizong, to the Ancestral Temple.
According to previous practice, the tablet of an ancestral emperor had to be moved out of the Ancestral Temple.
In the order of removal, the tablets of your great-grandfather, grandfather and father have all been moved. Now it is your turn to move the tablets.
Of course, my father-in-law, you are the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Even if you give him a hundred courages, he would not dare to do this. "
"So, he moved the fourth son's tablet out of the Ancestral Temple?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he asked in time.
Zhu Di also looked at Han Cheng at this time.
Although he didn't speak, his chest was already heaving.
Although these are things that future generations will do.
He is only the King of Yan now, but what the second brother-in-law said still concerns him after all.
It's impossible to say that I don't care.
It would be fine if it was something ordinary.
But what the second brother-in-law is talking about now is obviously not a trivial matter.
After hearing that his descendants were so filial, he moved his tablet out of the Ancestral Temple.
Then Zhu Di's mood will definitely not be better.
No wonder the second brother-in-law reminded him to be mentally prepared.
Damn it, Jiajing is so filial!
"No, how dare he move the fourth brother's tablet?
The fourth brother is his serious ancestor, and he also single-handedly created the Yongle prosperous age.
Given his courage, he wouldn't dare to do this. "
Han Cheng quickly explained.
Hearing what Han Cheng said, Zhu Di's already hardened fist loosened again.
So that's not the case?
Just say it! How could this guy be so bold as to move his tablet out of the Ancestral Temple?
Of course, the relief turned into even more confusion.
Since it wasn't this, what else could it be that could make the second brother-in-law warn him in advance?
Han Chengdao: "Emperor Jiajing went to the Ancestral Temple to do some things around his father's memorial tablet.
After some selection, he moved the memorial tablet of Zhu Gaochi, who had reigned for less than a year, out of the Ancestral Temple..."
"Damn it!"
Zhu Di, who was relieved just now, couldn't help but cursed.
This piece of shit did some good things!
In order to send the tablet of his father, the posthumous emperor, to the Ancestral Temple.
The memorial tablets of the orthodox emperors of the Ming Dynasty were actually moved out.
And the tablet that was moved was that of my fat son!
Although Zhu Di doesn't like to see his fat son, no matter what, he is still his son.
He is also the serious ancestor of the bastard Jiajing.
But in the end, this piece of shit was actually able to do such a thing.
It turns out that what the second brother-in-law said was actually this!
This is indeed excessive!
Insufferable?
However, although Zhu Di was angry about it, he could still endure it on the whole.
After all, this matter only involves his fat son, not himself.
Second brother-in-law, I think of myself as a little too fragile.
Where is this?
There is no need for the second brother-in-law to remind him about this matter, he can handle it just as well.
Just as he was thinking this, he heard Han Cheng's voice continue to sound: "He also did another thing, which was to change you, fourth brother, from Taizong of the Ming Dynasty to Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty.
When future generations mention you again, Fourth Brother, in addition to calling you Emperor Yongle, another well-known name is Ming Chengzu. "
After Han Cheng said this, he kept silent, preparing to see the reaction of his fourth uncle Zhu Di.
As a person of later generations, Han Cheng knew very well how much harm Jiajing's operation had done to Zhu Di.
For the rest of his life, Zhu Di tried his best to prove that he took over the empire from his father, not from his nephew.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to extend his father's life by four years in writing.
Change all four years of Jianwen to Hongwu years.
As a result, Jiajing, a filial descendant, changed his title from Ming Taizong to Chengzu.
Isn't this clearly saying that Zhu Di was the one who rebelled and gained power? (End of chapter)
