Chapter 1028 Queen, Prince
The Ganqing Palace inside the Ganqing Gate of the Forbidden City of Shenjing Imperial City is the head of the latter three palaces, the bedroom of the new emperor Li Jing, and the place where he works every day.
During the day, six top tyrants who were just named the Grand Tutor of the Third Division, Yu Yan, the Grand Tutor Cui Yunqing, the Grand Tutor Zheng Cong-seok of the Grand Tutor, the Grand Tutor of the Third Duke, Lin Wei, Situ Zheng Ting, and Sikong Li Zhen, the top rank of the new dynasty, entered the Ganqing Gate under the personal guidance of Zhang Chengye, the Director of the Provincial Eunuch.
The Three Divisions and Three Dukes, the Zhou Dynasty system was equivalent to the prime ministers of later generations. They had great power and were responsible for assisting young emperors in carrying out government affairs. However, later, the Three Divisions and Three Dukes gradually became honorable. In the Tang Dynasty, the Three Divisions and Three Dukes were awarded the highest honor of veterans and important officials in the Tang Dynasty. They were highly respected and strictly imposed. The Three Dukes were given the highest honor to senior officials in the Tang Dynasty. They were extremely proud and had strict prescriptions. The Three Divisions and Three Dukes were granted the titles of the third division, and the third divisions and three Dukes were given the titles of the third divisions and three Dukes. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Three Divisions and Three Dukes were all awarded the titles of the third divisions and three Dukes, and they were all awarded the titles of the Tang Dynasty. Although the official position system was established in the new dynasty, the original excessive title system was changed in the new dynasty. Yesterday, the three divisions and three Dukes were awarded only these six people. It was enough to show the honor of their position. The Three Divisions and Three Dukes sat with the heaven to discuss the Tao.
The Grand Tutor Yu Von was at the forefront. He was both the Grand Tutor and the Father of the State Council, and the Left Secretary of the Secretariat of the Three Provinces of the New Dynasty. He was in the same position as the Secretary of the Central Secretariat and the series of official titles made this literati from the famous Yu family now one of the top ministers in the New Dynasty.
Zhang Chengye smiled and led the way. Although the six people behind him had the title of the Third Division and the Three Officials, all of them were honorable and had no real power, after the title, all six people still held important positions. In addition to the provincial government and other positions, each of them also had an official title of the same party as the ministers. This means that the three Emperors, the Three Officials and the Three Divisions, were also the prime ministers of the new dynasty.
This was not the first time that the six people came to the Qing Palace, but this time, it was the first time they called after the new emperor ascended the throne. Everyone's feelings were different from those when they came before. Yu Yan walked while looking at this palace that was not unfamiliar.
The Ganqing Palace, the first of the halls of the harem, has a yellow glazed tiles and double-eaved hip roof. It is located on a single-layer white marble base. The corridor is nine rooms wide and five rooms deep. It is nine meters high from the table to the main ridge. There are nine beasts in the corners of the eaves. The upper floor is single and double and seven stomping. The lower floor is single and five stomping. It is decorated with golden dragons and seals, and three and six stomping. The doors and windows are separated by doors and windows. The bright room in the hall is connected to the east and west. The front eaves of the bright room are reduced by golden columns, and the beam structure is a form of reduced columns. The indoor space is expanded.
There is a screen between the two golden pillars on the back eaves, a throne is set in front of the screen, a warm pavilion is set between the east and west ends, and a fairy tower is set in the back eaves. There are halls at the two sides, which can connect to the Hall of Communications and the Kunning Palace. There are gold bricks in the hall. On the spacious platform in front of the hall, there are copper turtles, copper cranes, sundials, and Jialiang. There are four gilded incense burners in front, with Danbi in the middle, connecting the high platform and the Ganqing Gate.
The clear sky is clear and clear, neither turbid, it symbolizes the stability of the country and also symbolizes the emperor's actions as open as the sky.
The south wing room on one side of the main hall is the Nan Study Room. Now Li Jing summoned these six first-rank ministers in the Nan Study Room.
"It's so late, I'll ask you to enter the palace. Thank you for your hard work." Li Jing, who was sitting behind the imperial case, was reviewing the memorial when he saw Yu Wen and six others coming, and quickly got up and walked around to the desk to greet him.
Zheng Congxian and others quickly bowed. After the ceremony, Zheng Congxian said, "Your Majesty has officially ascended the throne today. From now on, you will be the king of a country and the common ruler of the world. Your Majesty welcomes you so much that you can't afford it. And from now on, Your Majesty will call yourself me and call me ministers and others as your ministers. This is the etiquette system and cannot be changed at will."
These six first-rank ministers, Zheng Congxian and Zheng Bai, Yu Guan, Cui Yunqing and Li Zhen, can be regarded as famous families, and have always respected Confucianism and advocated Zhou rituals. Therefore, they attached great importance to these rituals. It turned out that Li Jing was only the King of Qin, and sometimes Li Jing often called himself me, not to be alone, so they turned a blind eye. But now that Li Jing has officially ascended the throne, they are full of the desire for emperor transformation that all Confucian literati have, and they are eager to transform the emperor into the kind of saint in their minds. They are also called to allow Li Jing to call himself me.
Li Jing smiled. He didn't care about these trivial matters. He asked these ministers of humerals to come tonight, and there were important matters to discuss.
During the day, Li Jing ascended the throne and changed his reign to Longji, but he still used the name of the Tang Dynasty. He knew that many ministers were actually a little confused.
Li Jing also had his own considerations when using the Tang Dynasty as the name of the country. Originally, the most suitable thing for the new dynasty was to use Qin as the name of Li Jing, which was the king of Li Jing. Or Qi as the name of the country, which was the place where Li Jing's Longxing was. No matter how bad it was, Liao or Yan could be used. But after thinking for a long time, Li Jing finally used the name of the Tang Dynasty. Before that, in addition to Qin that unified the six kingdoms, there were later courts such as the Former Qin Qin and Qin as the name of the country. In history, almost all of those who used Qin as the name of the country were short-lived. Qin was known as tyrannical Qin. Li Jing was not superstitious, but did not appreciate Qin's system very much. Therefore, he was not willing to use Qin as the name of the new dynasty. Qi was also possible. During the Qin Dynasty during the Warring States Period, Qi was the overlord of the East, but Huang Chao had used Qi as the name of the country before, so Li Jing could not use Qi again. Yan and Liao were both too deviated from the Central Plains, which was not suitable.
After thinking about it, Li Jing thought that Tang was good. First of all, for a person from later generations, the Tang Dynasty carries too many feelings that others cannot understand. At the same time, Li Jing also hopes to tell the world that his new dynasty would continue most of the systems and policies since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and it also means to recognize and protect the original order of the Tang Dynasty. The use of the Tang Dynasty as the new dynasty was also due to this consideration.
It was like the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the Sui Dynasty, but everything about the Northern Zhou Dynasty was almost inherited. The Sui Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty almost continued the Sui system. Li Jing established the new dynasty and followed the name of the Tang Dynasty, which was to declare this meaning.
After explanation, the six first-rank ministers nodded. The emperor insisted on this, although in their opinion, there was no need for this insistence. Even if a new country name was changed, it would not be a bad thing. Besides, even if Qin and Qi were not used, they could still set a new country name. But they all saw that Li Jing was particularly persistent beyond these reasons. Although they did not understand, although the country name was heavy, it was not so heavy that it was necessary to change. On the other hand, when Li Tang compiled Li Jing into the genealogy of the Li Tang royal family, he was long considered a member of the Li family royal family, and was called the uncle of both Li Ye and Li Yan. Li Jing now used the Tang Dynasty, which was equivalent to a power change within the Li Tang royal family. Li Jing also had a share in the name of Tang.
"Your Majesty has any worries?" Zheng Ting knew that Li Jing would call them in the middle of the night, and would never be just to explain the country name. This matter is not that important.
"Yes, thirteen years ago, I was just a farmer boy in the countryside of Dengzhou. In a blink of an eye, I had ascended the throne and became emperor. Now, I am a little confused!"
"Your Majesty was born in the wild, but he was born to be a king, and heroes started from the times and won every battle, so that he can be today. Now he conforms to the will of heaven and the will of the people and becomes the emperor, there is no need to worry about it. The same is true for the world, just like before." Cui Yunqing smiled.
"I am not afraid to conquer the world. To be honest, the opponents we have faced over the years are not strong. It is not that we are too strong, but that the opponent is too weak. Moreover, no matter who the enemy is, they are always in the clear and can be seen. But now, we already have the world, and although there are still some places that have not been pacified, that is no longer the main problem. In the future, we will change from conquer the world to governing the world. This is so different."
Zheng Ting said: "In fact, Your Majesty has always done a good job. Not only has he led the troops to fight and won every battle. Moreover, in recent years, the local provinces, prefectures and counties in the vassal have been managed in an orderly manner, with the people's food and clothing, and the people's livelihoods. As long as you continue like this, it is enough. Your Majesty was able to fight while fighting while governing the Qin vassal. Now that you have the world, how can you worry about the governance of the world?"
"I have ascended the throne. My dear friends, what is the first thing I need to do?" Li Jing asked.
There was a brief silence in Nan Study Room.
What was the first thing the emperor did after ascending the throne? If the six ministers were asked to speak frankly, then it would be necessary to establish the queen and the crown prince. But who should be appointed as the queen and the crown prince? Although the six ministers present had their own ideas in their hearts, no one was willing to speak immediately at this time. Everyone knew that the emperor was an idea, and he must have his own idea in this matter. He spoke at this time, but I was afraid that he did not want to ask their opinions.
Who should be the queen?
According to the etiquette, Wang Guiniang should be the queen. However, Yu Youniang is also the princess of Qin and the wife, and she is also qualified to be the queen. Moreover, Yu has a strong Yu family as the backing. However, in addition to these two original princes of Qin, Wang Wanjun is also qualified to be the queen, because among the princes of Qin, Wang Wanjun's son Li Dezhao is the eldest son, and he is very smart and very popular with Li Jing. If the King of Qin intends to make Li Dezhao the crown prince, then the mother is noble to make her son stable and to make Wang Wanjun the queen, and it is very likely that she will make her son the queen.
Li Jing waited for a while and didn't say anything. He already knew in his heart that these six ministers were probably more suitable to believe that Yu Youniang was the queen. If they did not speak out, it would be equivalent to denying Wang Guiniang who was originally appointed normally. The possible reason was that Wang Guiniang was born too low, and the prince she gave birth to was neither the eldest nor the eldest. For the sake of the future, if Wang Guiniang's son could not be appointed as the crown prince, it would be best not to make her the queen.
Li Jing was slightly disappointed. He didn't know if this result was the result of the ministers having exchanged opinions in private. He looked up at Yu and saw that he kept silent, like an old monk entering a meditation. But it was obvious that the Grand Master still hoped that his daughter would be the queen in his heart.
This result made Li Jing frown and he immediately made up his mind.
On the first year of the Longji period of the Tang Dynasty, on the second day of the first lunar month, Li Jing issued an edict to make Wang Guiniang the empress, Yu Youniang the imperial concubine, Wang Wanjun was the concubine of Shu, Xiao Yulou was the concubine of De, Zhang Hui was the concubine of Xian, and the rest were granted concubines and concubines.
