The emperor is newly mourned, and there are many things going on in Yanjing City.
Originally, Mr. Shen was the governor of Northern Zhili because of his actual position. He actually had no errands in the Yanjing Yamen. He was just a casual employee and could take a break. Now he has become the assistant minister. The new emperor and several other ministers have nothing to do. Shen Yi was a little uncomfortable with inviting him over to discuss matters.
After his two sons left, Shen Yi was not able to rest at home for too long. That afternoon, he was invited to the palace to discuss matters.
Several other prime ministers were already present in the meeting hall. After Shen Yi walked into the meeting hall, everyone stood up and called themselves Grand Master.
Mr. Shen pressed his hand down and said silently: "You are welcome, gentlemen."
After Master Shen sat down, everyone sat down again. Shen Yi looked at Song Yuan and asked, "Is there something important that Prime Minister Song asked me to come over?"
"Emperor Daxing will be buried in the underground palace the day after tomorrow. The main reason for inviting the Grand Master here is to discuss it. Is there anything else that has been missed?"
Shen Yi thought for a moment, looked at everyone, and said, "I don't have anything to say, but one thing is the temple name of Emperor Daxing."
Shen Yi said: "I propose that you go to the temple and be named Shizu."
Several prime ministers looked at each other.
After a while, Xianggong of the Song Dynasty whispered: "Grand Master, it is more appropriate for the name of this generation to be moved by the lineage. Emperor Daxing is the eldest son of Emperor Mu Zong, and the lineage has not been moved. Isn't it inappropriate?"
Shen Yi said silently: "The lineage has not moved, but the imperial court has. Emperor Daxing led Dachen from Jiankang to Yanjing, and established great achievements."
"To put it into detail, it can be said that Emperor Sejong lost half of the country and was forced to move south. Emperor Daxing fought hard and finally regained the artifact of the country."
"Can such a word make sense?"
With the achievements of Emperor Hong De, no one can object to the last word "ancestor", but with the four temple names of Tai Zhong and Zhong Zu, the other Taizu and Gaozu are naturally inappropriate. Zhongzu is even weirder and has never been seen before.
Therefore, only Shizu is the most suitable.
Even if it's a bit far-fetched, Shen still has to push it down.
Song Yuan and others looked at each other, exchanged opinions, and then said: "Then let's report to Your Majesty according to the Grand Master's wishes."
These prime ministers, who were scholars, actually wanted to give Emperor Hongde a temple name of "Zhongzong". After all, this temple name was indeed the most appropriate.
However, Lord Shen now has a strong voice. Since he insists on Shizu, these prime ministers will naturally give him a little favor.
Shen Yi said "hmm" and said, "In a while, Prime Minister Song will draft the document, and Shen will go and report it to His Majesty."
"good."
Several prime ministers gathered together and drafted a posthumous title of eleven characters for Emperor Hongde.
Although the posthumous title is very long, it still contains the character "武".
In other words, when it is passed down to future generations, when they call Emperor Hongde, they will be Emperor Shizuwu of the Chen Dynasty, Li!
After it was finalized, Shen Yi left Zhongshu and entered the imperial city with the documents signed by several prime ministers.
At this time, the new emperor had already moved into Deqing Palace.
As Shen Yi, he soon met the new emperor, Emperor Jianlong, Li Jian, in the Deqing Palace.
After meeting the emperor, Shen Yi bowed and saluted: "My lord, Shen Yi, pays homage to your majesty."
After more than a month, Li Jian looked more haggard and thinner than before. He didn't have much energy at the moment. He was looking through the documents sent by Zhongshu. After hearing Shen Yi's voice, he looked up hurriedly. , then stood up directly and said: "Father-in-law, there is no need to be polite, sit down quickly, sit down quickly."
Shen Yi paused and said: "Your Majesty, is it not appropriate for the palace to treat private matters..."
Emperor Jianlong was startled, then nodded and said: "What the Grand Master said makes sense."
He pulled Shen Yi to sit down, and then asked, "Master, what's the important thing here?"
Shen Yi took out the document from his sleeve and said: "Your Majesty, please take a look. This is the temple name and posthumous title of the Daxing Emperor drawn up by the minister and Zhongshu. Please take a look at it."
The emperor stretched out his hand to take it, unfolded it and read it once, then read the posthumous title once, and then murmured: "Emperor Shizuwu..."
He sighed deeply.
"Very good, very good. My father is alive in heaven. He should be very happy to know this temple name."
He returned to his desk, picked up the ink pen and wrote the words "Very good, correct" on the spot, then dried the ink and handed it back to Shen Yi.
"After my father left, I realized how hard my father had been working all these years. It has only been a few days, but I am already a little overwhelmed."
Shen Yi lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty can leave it to Zhongshu. Most of the ministers left by Emperor Daxing to your Majesty are capable ministers and officials."
"Um."
The emperor nodded yes.
Shen Yi hesitated for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, I have one more thing, please forgive me."
Emperor Jianlong looked at Shen Yi.
"Just say it."
Mr. Shen said silently: "Before his death, Emperor Daxing told that those who have raised adult princes in the palace should be released from the palace and sent to the prince's house..."
Emperor Jianlong sighed: "Father-in-law, are you talking about Concubine Hui?"
Shen Yi did not correct his title, but just nodded and said: "Yes."
"Probably my father told my father-in-law."
Emperor Jianlong turned his head and said with some sadness: "Father, you still don't trust me."
He said sadly, turned to look at Shen Yi, and said, "Concubine Hui, you can leave the palace in a few days. I will not embarrass my father's concubines."
Shen Yi nodded lightly: "In this way, I have already done everything that the Emperor Daxing has asked me to do. Thank you, Your Majesty."
The emperor shook his head, looked at Shen Yi and said: "The eldest brother's mother should have been sent to the eldest brother. There is just one thing I want to ask my father-in-law..."
Shen Yi sighed inwardly, but his expression remained calm: "Your Majesty, just ask."
"Brother Three Emperors..."
The emperor's voice was hoarse: "How should we deal with it?"
"Confined and demoted to common people."
Shen Yi said these six words, then raised his head to look at the emperor's expression, and then continued: "The rest is beyond what I can say."
Emperor Jianlong nodded again.
"Just do as my father-in-law said."
"Speaking of which..."
Emperor Jianlong whispered: "At the beginning, the third brother wanted to kill me, so I can't blame him entirely."
Shen Yi sat silently on the chair and said nothing.
The emperor added: "I also heard that Mr. Zhao is ill."
"yes."
Mr. Shen looked up at the emperor and said, "Quinzi has gone south to visit me on my behalf. Prime Minister Zhao has treated me with great kindness. If his old man is seriously ill, I will go to Nanjing for a visit in a while."
Emperor Jianlong looked at Shen Yi and frowned: "Father-in-law, there is a turbulent undercurrent in Yanjing City. What should I do if you leave?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry."
Shen Yi said softly: "The city of Yanjing is peaceful and peaceful."
"Your Majesty has time..."
Shen said softly: "Let's meet General Ling."
The emperor looked at Shen Yi's expression, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "See you now?"
"I'll see you naturally."
A smile appeared on Shen Yi's face: "Ling Su, he is the commander of the army left by Emperor Daxing to your Majesty. Your Majesty, please feel free to see him."
In this way, the monarch and his ministers chatted for a full hour. His Majesty the Emperor looked at Shen Yi and asked questions.
It's like a new employee asking old employees for advice.
An hour later, Shen Yi was able to leave Deqing Palace. He took the waistband he took from the emperor and entered the harem. Under the leadership of a young eunuch, he soon met Empress Hui.
At this moment, Concubine Hui was dressed crookedly in a cotton coat, her expression was dull, and she looked a little crazy.
Even the hair is messy.
Shen Yi silently stepped forward and looked at Concubine Hui, who had been stopped from committing suicide several times. After being silent for a long time, she sighed softly.
"Empress, I will pick you up from the palace the day after tomorrow and send someone to take you to Prince Fu's Mansion in Fuzhou."
Concubine Hui raised her head and looked at Shen Yi, her eyes finally getting a little brighter.
She seemed to be talking to Shen Yi, and also seemed to be mumbling to herself.
"I'm going to see your Majesty... I'm going to see your Majesty..."
Shen Yi sighed.
"After leaving the palace, I will take you there..."
