Chapter 1966: The name is eliminated and the matter is settled at the end of the year
"In ancient times, it is said that when a person dies, the coffin is sealed, the merits and demerits are commented, and the posthumous title is given. The emperor founded the Han Dynasty, restored the temple, established the order, and restored the ethics. Wei Zhou Gongdan, Taigong Wang, established the heir to the king, and made contributions in
Mu Zhiye, who will eventually be buried, is the posthumous title. Then the posthumous method is described. The posthumous title is the trace of the deeds. The title is the symbol of merit. The chariot and uniform are the seal of the position. Therefore, the great conduct is to receive the great name, and the fine conduct is
Receive fine names, act from yourself, names are born from others, and there is no rebellion."
"However, today's posthumous titles are gradually declining. People in the market use honorable names, have no teachings on etiquette and justice, and have no heart of loyalty. They are arrogant and rebellious people who also promote fame. As for the posthumous titles, they are lost. Those who have trapped lives and empty treasury."
, but calling Jing'an difficult to change, and those who do evil things, calling them public will, isn't it ridiculous?"
"There are even more arrogant people who are arrogant and easy to move, either using financial resources or holding scholars hostage, trying to gain fame and fame, which is contrary to the original intention of the posthumous title, and is even suspected of subverting the clan. I heard that your majesty is smart? Can you see this?
The shortcomings of the posthumous titles should be avoided before they are in Hebei and Henan. To suppress false posthumous titles and eliminate bad titles is actually the key to solidifying the original source. Therefore, obeying the heaven above and responding to the people below, and eliminating the abuse of posthumous titles will become the order of things.
What is the effect? All counties should change it according to the effect, and it can be implemented gradually. This order is specially issued and widely publicized."
The proclamation issued by General Fei Qian immediately caused an uproar in the Sanfu area of Guanzhong.
Posthumous titles were not exclusive to the emperor at the beginning, but to all princes and ministers. They were not standardized at the beginning. King Wen of Zhou and King Wu of Zhou would call themselves civil and military when they were still alive. It was not until the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty that the posthumous title was decided.
The rule of adding a posthumous title.
After Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, he thought that the posthumous title "sons discuss father, ministers discuss emperor" was too gossipy. Of course, it was also because Qin Shihuang was too arrogant and felt that no one could judge himself, so he abolished it.
After Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty, the temple names were restored. However, because the use of temple names had been suspended for a thousand years, and the Shang Dynasty was too old, there is no information about the temple name system. There is no reference at all, so the Han Dynasty used temple names.
Like a blind man trying to figure out an elephant, he had to fumble around and reinvent the system. Therefore, the Han Dynasty re-established a temple name system. However, because this system was newly built, it was still in its early stages and many places were imperfect.
Everyone doesn’t know how to use it or how to call it, so this question arises.
After Liu Bang's death, according to the temple name system established by the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang started from scratch and built his empire on his own. Therefore, the Han court designated Liu Bang's temple name as "Taizu" and his posthumous title as "Gao". In fact, his posthumous title was "Gao".
There is no word "gao" in the law. Liu Bang's ministers deliberately customized it for Liu Bang in order to show that Liu Bang had worked hard to establish the Han Dynasty.
In other words, Liu Bang's temple name should be called "Han Taizu" and his posthumous title is "Han Gaodi", but later he became accustomed to calling him "Han Gaozu". This pot mainly belongs to the Sima family...
When Sima Qian wrote "Historical Records", for the convenience of writing, he simplified the full name of Liu Bang's temple name and posthumous title "Taizu Emperor Gao" into "Gaozu" in "Historical Records: The Benji of Gaozu". This was equivalent to creating a new name for Liu Bang.
title……
The Sima family's habit of giving people nicknames is really the same.
Therefore, as the influence of "Historical Records" increased day by day, the title "Han Gaozu" was passed down to later generations, but Liu Bang's correct temple name "Han Taizu" was rarely mentioned.
Although posthumous temple titles sometimes went hand in hand in later generations, people still mostly used posthumous titles. Until after the Tang Dynasty, it was changed to the temple name, and then the reign name...
It's because many things were ruined by the emperor himself. For example, the posthumous title was quite serious at first, but then became casual and anyone could take advantage of it. And what's interesting is that some emperors would have multiple posthumous titles.
, of course, this kind of treatment is generally only worthy of a subjugated king.
When the country was destroyed, many mountains and rivers were divided. Different forces would give different posthumous titles to the fallen king based on their own political considerations. For example, "Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty" was a posthumous title given to Yang Guang by his cousin Tang Gaozu Li Yuan.
The gift of good inner and far away is called Yang.
However, when Yang Guang died, the Sui Dynasty had not yet been destroyed, so Yang Guang's grandson Yang Tong gave his grandfather the posthumous title "Emperor Sui Ming".
The only person who sees and knows first is Ming.
Such contradictory evaluations are unprecedented.
The handsome Yang Guang was very fond of success in his life and loved to do things, but he was really working on his big career.
Many people think that the imperial examination was only introduced in the Tang Dynasty. In fact, the Tang Dynasty just followed the path cut by the Sui Dynasty. And starting from the Tang Dynasty, the emperor's posthumous title changed. It was normal at first. After Li Shimin's death, he was given the posthumous title "Wen".
If nothing else goes wrong, "Emperor Wen of the Tang Dynasty" will be famous throughout the ages like Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. But his descendants wanted to add trouble. Maybe they felt that Li Shimin's wisdom and martial arts could not be summarized in one article, so he was posthumously named the Civil and Military Saint Emperor.
He was then given the posthumous title of the Civil and Military Great Sage Emperor.
Finally, he was given the posthumous title of Emperor Daguangxiao, the Great Sage of Civil and Military Affairs...
Of course, this reason is not entirely the fault of his descendants. It is because during the Five Husties, countless countries were established in China, and then the emperors of these small countries claimed this "Wen" or that for themselves or their fathers.
Posthumous titles of "military" and "civil and military" are simply rampant. The descendants after Li Shimin felt that their ancestors and these Hu regimes were all called "civil and military", which was too embarrassing, so they took such a weird move, and then
Taking a wrong path.
Now, Fei Qian said, the road is here, don't go astray. At the same time, Fei Qian also deliberately interpreted Cao Cao's actions as Liu Xie's meaning, which is very interesting...
Originally, the Hanoi Sima family secretly sent this letter to Fei Qian because they felt that Fei Qian was now on the opposite side of Cao Cao. Normally, if Cao Cao promoted it, Fei Qian would definitely oppose it. If Fei Qian vigorously instilled it here, Cao Cao would definitely oppose it.
They refused without hesitation, but what they didn't expect was that Fei Qian would actually stand with Cao Cao this time!
There seems to be no connection between "defending the people more than guarding the rivers". After all, what Fei Qian and Cao Cao objected to was that these people gave names to others or boasted about themselves, and they did not say that these people were strictly prohibited.
To participate in and discuss government affairs, there is even a special department here in Feiqian called "Shen Lv Yuan".
But if you just tolerate it, the power among the nobles will be reduced a lot. After all, fame means everything. A big V without fans is worse than shit, whether it is a real fan or a zombie fan.
Anyway, it's easy to get things done with just a name, everyone knows this.
Therefore, after Fei Qian issued such an edict, there was an uproar in the Senate and there were endless discussions. Of course, they were all discussed in private, or openly...
Not everyone is as bold as Ni Heng in seeking death.
Because of this, in the last three days before New Year's Day, there was such a strange atmosphere in the Shenlu Courtyard.
Wei Duan summoned the officials, and after bowing to each other as usual, he mentioned the current affairs. Among the current affairs of the Council of Laws, the most important one was "corruption of the law", and the two were "amnesty"
, the third thing, naturally it is the new "name" thing that comes out now.
Wei Duan suffered a terrible disaster some time ago and was in a sad mood. However, after some time, he has returned to some normalcy. And for the "name", there is no doubt that a nobleman with a relatively high position like Wei Duan
The younger generation was the most seriously injured, and the side branches and poor families had almost no impact, because the poor families did not have the money to support others and become famous. Therefore, Wei Duan actually disagreed with this matter, but when he said it, he deliberately used a tone that did not sound like it.
How urgent, as if still under control.
The members who came here today, including Guo Tufengji, are also veterans in the ups and downs of the officialdom. Not to mention that they are all talented people, they naturally understand the key points. There is no need to say more about the things behind these matters. They are also clear.
It couldn't be more clear, and naturally he knew Wei Duan's intention.
But at the same time, these people also hope that Wei Duan can be more powerful, at least not to be pinched by Fei Qian, which is really uncomfortable. After all, the three things do not seem to be related, but in fact they all have the same word: "Shi
』.
It doesn't seem good if this continues...
However, everyone was disappointed.
Wei Duan is just like the last time he formulated the law of corruption. His shoulders are slippery. He only wants to take advantage and does not want to take responsibility. He hopes that someone will jump out and then he will go along with the flow. But in fact, everyone knows that no one can
Don't stand up.
Wei Duan handed over the Corruption Law, and the crimes of corruption were divided into three levels. The penalties were much heavier than the original Han Law. This was originally a shackles imposed on officials. At the same time, there was no amnesty, and now they have lost their reputation.
This day is really Wang Xiaoer’s Chinese New Year...
But the problem is that the Guanzhong nobles don't have any powerful means to come up with. After all, they are all foxes who have been practicing Taoism for many years, and they still have some ability to judge the situation. Now Fei Qian is pushing the executive order, all using combination punches, and he just comes up and does it.
As a master, when faced with such a situation, sometimes I find that there is really no other good solution besides scolding young people secretly in their hearts for not paying attention to wood and rat tail juice.
In the earliest times, the gentry and local surnames used taxes as a threat to force the local government and the central court to bow their heads. Because they did not rely on the local gentry, they often could not collect money and food. Then they had no money to pay the military and it was difficult to maintain military morale. Just like the bald heads of later generations.
Even if they are strong, they have to issue some commendation orders from time to time to commend local officials who have completed the tasks of money and food. As for how the money and food came from, sometimes even if they know, they turn a blind eye.
However, it doesn't work here in Fei Qian. There was a commotion before. Fei Qian directly sent a grain collection team to the countryside, with knowledgeable inspection officials and a large number of cattle and horses.
In the area northeast of the Sanfu River, collecting taxes is just a little more travel. Moreover, if you go against Fei Qian like this, the original interests of the local gentry and large-scale wealthy households will also be wiped out, and there is also the risk of being drawn by lot and directly confiscating their homes and annihilating them.
, so I bowed my head obediently and did not dare to make any more noise about taxes, money and food.
Another strategy originally used by the nobles to suppress them was people. Many things had to be handled by the nobles' children. If every trivial matter in the fields was handled by the hussar general Fei Qian, Fei Qian would be exhausted directly. But once Fei Qian was
Subtly delegating power is tantamount to surrendering to the children of these nobles. Just like Liu Bei never handled the relationship with the local nobles after entering Sichuan, which led to Zhuge later saying that he would die after exhausting himself. On the one hand, Zhuge was unwilling to delegate power;
We cannot delegate power. After all, if we give it away, it will be difficult to take it back.
Only this time, in the name of the plan, Fei Qian dismissed 30% of the officials in one fell swoop during the Lunar New Year when there were fewer people's livelihood affairs, and investigated them for dereliction of duty, corruption, etc., and then used agricultural, engineering, and inspection
We jointly support the county and township political bureau structure, and there does not seem to be any big problems...
The Guanzhong nobles immediately discovered that this move of restraining the personnel did not seem to be that effective.
Agricultural bachelors are very familiar with local mulberry farming, and are even more useful in the fields than local Hucao. After all, when Agricultural Bachelors come, they increase the production of their own fields, while when Hucao comes, they mostly harvest grain, so it is more important.
If you are willing to listen to someone, then why bother saying more?
The same is true for engineering bachelors. They focus on water conservancy, digging ditches, building cities and houses, etc. Even without the engineering cao, things are still in order.
Most of the inspections are retired veterans under Fei Qian, so managing local defense, patrolling and stabilizing is not a problem...
So in fact, it is not that the nobles in the Sanfu area of Guanzhong are easy to bully. After all, they are all the same local snakes with many eyes and ears. How can they not know the power of Fei Qian's policies and measures? It is that the toughest methods were taken advantage of by Fei Qian.
As a result, they are all at a loss and cannot come up with any powerful countermeasures. They can only pretend to be confused on the surface, communicate secretly in private, discuss countermeasures, and then discuss over and over again. Before they can come up with a result,
Fei Qian's next combination of punches came again, and then there was another bang and he was knocked to the ground.
Of course, if you work well as an official, not to mention how brilliantly you govern the local area, you only need to have good government and people, and there will be no problems. But the problem is, if you are used to being free and easy, how will you be willing to put shackles on yourself, and still
Complete hands and feet plus a neck tie?
If you want to yell loudly, don't do this official in Guanzhong! Or you can throw away your sleeves and leave, saying that if you don't stay here, you will have a place to stay. However, the problem is that if the momentum of Feiqian is small, for example, there is only Beishang County.
, then naturally there is no problem. At that time, the hero in the world was undoubtedly Er Yuan, and no one thought that Fei Qian would have much success, so joining Er Yuan, or even Cao Cao, was a good direction, but now...
The two Yuans fell, and Cao Cao was beaten by Fei Qian with a stick on the left and a slap on the right. He had no ability to fight back. At this time, if he said "I will not stay", it would really become "I will not stay".
So, everyone could only smile and endure it. Didn't they see that the Yang family of the Guan clan shed tears and prostrated themselves before the hussar, saying that they were stupid and innocent back then?
During today's discussion, everyone understood why Wei Duan's tone was so understated. Although everyone sneered in their stomachs, they listened calmly, as if nothing had happened.
Wei Duanyunshan talked a lot, and everyone was silent. Finally, he secretly gritted his teeth and asked by name: "Pei Ziyuan! What happened to the amnesty discussion?"
Fei Qian's attitude towards the "amnesty" issue may not be very clear to everyone at first, but as time goes by, everyone will gradually understand. After all, if we really want to comply with the amnesty issued by Xu County,
Wouldn't it be over with a direct pardon? Is there any need to discuss it? Moreover, the discussion lasted for such a long time. Fei Qian was not in a hurry, and did not send anyone to urge him, as if he wanted to discuss it to the end of the world and it didn't matter...
Therefore, Pei Yuan naturally knew that what he was holding was not the fragrant meat buns, but the bun mines from the drama, and he held them carefully, not daring to move them.
When Wei Duan asked, Pei Yuan knew he couldn't hide, so he simply felt relieved and said: "Qi Shen Lv, although there is an edict of amnesty now, Xijing is different, so... we can't generalize it, we need to go further."
Let’s discuss...』
Wei Duan was so angry that he felt his beard tremble a little. He really wanted to point at Pei Yuan and call him a coward, but in the end he endured it. "Oh? Didn't I hear that? Zi Yuan originally agreed to comply with the amnesty and be exempted from guilt."
What? There are many declarations that the first culprit should be punished and the innocent should be spared. Is it just a joke?"
Pei Yuan smirked, cupped his hands and said, "I'm... I didn't think carefully before I went down, I made a little nonsense, and it made me laugh..."
"You..." Wei Duan was so angry that he was speechless for a moment.
People are subject to change, and they are still fickle.
At first Wei Duan opposed the amnesty because if it was granted, those "sinners" who had hurt his children would have to be pardoned, which made Wei Duan unhappy, so Wei Duan opposed it. But now Wei Duan has changed, because his son's injuries have already formed.
It is irreversible. Even if these people continue to serve in hard labor, it is impossible to restore them to their original appearance. However, if the way of "taking names and gaining hope" is cut off and we cannot "get names and earn reputations" in the future, then those like them who are at the top of the gentry will be irreversible.
How can people gain more advantages than ordinary people from poor families?
So Wei Duan turned to support the amnesty again because he knew that Fei Qian opposed the amnesty. And the reasons for supporting the amnesty were also legitimate. Didn't Fei Qian just say that he would follow Liu Xie's ideas and be in sync with Cao Cao? It can't be said that in
If the name is synchronized, the others will not be synchronized?
And if it is true that the matter of name is irreversible, then the amnesty is almost equivalent to the last chance to gain fame at this stage. Otherwise, there will be no talk of name in the future, and ordinary people will still
Do you know who Guanzhong Webster is?
The same goes for Pei Yuan.
Pei Yuan initially thought that Fei Qian was trying to amnesty because of his face, so if he took the initiative to express his opinion, wouldn't he benefit both sides? But he didn't expect that Fei Qian really didn't want the amnesty, so he became
You shot yourself in the foot. You got on the stage but couldn't get off. So why would you jump down willingly when you knew it was a pit?
So Pei Yuan no longer supports the amnesty. Although he goes to Qinglong Temple every day and seems to be very busy, he actually cooperates with the delay again and again...
Wei Duan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "At the end of the year, things come to an end! The things discussed today are all like this, and they must be settled! Everyone, please go home and express your opinions. I will come up tomorrow at the Mao Festival.
Hand over! If you are delaying on purpose, or are being vague and confused...hehe, just take care of yourself!"
