Just after the Qingming Festival, Wang Gui, the Minister of Rites, handed over a memorial containing the funeral specifications for Qin Qiong, requesting the emperor's approval.
Su Mingzhe took a look at the memorial, and it read: buried with Zhaoling, worthy of enjoying the Ancestral Temple, etc.
These are no problem.
However, in the end, the posthumous title given by the Ministry of Rites was the single-character "Zhuang".
Su Mingzhe was immediately dissatisfied:
"Wang Aiqing, isn't the word "strong" inappropriate? Duke Yi Guo always strives to be the first in every battle. After I ascended the throne, he even took the initiative to retire and thank guests behind closed doors. I thought that Duke Yi could take on the role of "Wu Ning"."
In history, only one person has received the posthumous title "Wu Ning", and that was Xu Da, the first commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty.
Now, Su Mingzhe gave Qin Qiong this posthumous title to satisfy his respect for the heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true, but I thought wrongly."
Wang Gui didn't want to have a conflict with a dead man. Seeing that the emperor insisted on doing this, he immediately nodded and said that he would change it when he returned.
After receiving the emperor's approval, the Ministry of Rites immediately went to inform Duke Yi that Qin Qiong's funeral could be held according to the funeral of the Duke.
These are all rules.
As for when Qin Huaiyu will seize the title, this can only be decided after Qin Qiong is buried.
This is similar to the emperor's reign title.
After the former emperor's great success, the new emperor's accession to the throne had to wait for several months until he had his own reign title in the next year.
Later, Su Mingzhe wrote another elegiac couplet and sent it to the Yiguo Duke's Mansion.
Wait for the Duke Yi's Mansion to prepare the mourning hall.
Su Mingzhe went there again to express his condolences.
According to regulations, the death of a grand duke requires twenty-eight days of mourning.
Li Shimin's mausoleum is called "Zhaoling".
In other words, Qin Qiong’s coffin can be sent to Zhaoling after twenty-eight days.
In the blink of an eye.
Su Mingzhe has traveled to this world for a month.
On this day, Su Mingzhe stayed in Hanyuan Hall, summoned Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Gao Shilian and others, took out the demotion and nobility system submitted by Xiao Yu, and asked them to make final improvements.
After everyone looked at it, they found no problems and all nodded in agreement.
The living man Chu Suiliang recorded this incident.
This also means that the "Title System of the Tang Dynasty" was promulgated to the world with the joint consent of the emperor and his ministers.
After the title system was established, Su Mingzhe drove the princes and county kings such as the King of Wei, the King of Wu, and the King of Shu to their fiefdoms and asked them to become vassals.
Chang'an City is missing so many princes and princes.
Li Chengqian benefited the most from becoming Jing Zhaoyin.
First of all, there are fewer troublemakers in Chang'an City, and Jing Zhaoyin's workload has been reduced by more than one-third.
Secondly, without so many princes, princes, and ministers, if they want to follow the dragon's merits, they can only move closer to the prince Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian's power in the DPRK skyrocketed instantly.
Seeing Li Chengqian living happily day by day.
Su Mingzhe decided to find something for his son to do.
mid-April,
Su Mingzhe made an incarnation, hand-copied a vernacular version of "Tiangong Kaiwu" and presented it to Jing Zhaoyin Li Chengqian's disciples.
Although Li Chengqian had never been in contact with a general as a supervisor, never worked in the fields, and had been an old farmer, after reading "Tiangong Kaiwu", he was still keenly aware of the changes this book would bring to the Tang Dynasty.
After hesitating for several days.
Li Chengqian was still honest. At the court meeting on the first day of May, he dedicated the wonderful book "Tiangong Kaiwu" to the emperor.
Su Mingzhe felt relieved when he saw Li Chengqian accepting his test.
If Li Chengqian dares to hide this "Tiangong Kaiwu", then he will become the prince who has been the prince for the longest time in the world.
Now Li Chengqian took the initiative to regard "Tiangong Kaiwu" as an auspicious sign and handed it over to Su Mingzhe.
Su Mingzhe this
Only then did he nod with satisfaction, and then he took advantage of the situation and made his eldest grandson Li Jue the emperor's grandson.
When the meeting was over, Su Mingzhe called Li Chengqian, and the father and son stayed in Hanyuan Hall. They first copied the book "Tiangong Kaiwu" twice by category.
It was originally collected by Su Mingzhe.
If the two manuscripts are damaged, Su Mingzhe will take out the originals.
One of the two manuscripts was placed in the Hanyuan Hall and was guarded by dozens of chamberlains and over a hundred imperial guards as a national treasure.
The last manuscript is scattered according to technical categories.
The technologies in "Tiangong Kaiwu" involve machinery, bricks and tiles, ceramics, sulfur, candles, paper, weapons, gunpowder, textiles, dyeing, salt making, coal mining, oil extraction and other production technologies.
To the Tang Dynasty, these things were undoubtedly the same as the Book of Heaven.
Especially gunpowder.
It is no different from a dimensionality reduction attack.
Therefore, both Su Mingzhe and Li Chengqian believe that these technologies cannot be used all at once.
Since you can't take it out at once, you need to have a plan.
For example, under what circumstances, what technology should be used?
The two discussed this issue for half a month before finally coming up with a preliminary plan.
June has arrived in the blink of an eye.
Su Mingzhe looked at the excited Li Chengqian with a smile in his eyes:
"Qian'er, if we can implement the plan according to the plan, it will take fifty or even a hundred years to see the results. Aren't you a little unwilling?"
"I'm a little reluctant, but even if I can't see it, Jue'er can always see it. Even if Jue'er can't see it, our descendants of the Li family can always see it."
Li Chengqian's words were almost like "the descendants of our descendants are endlessly destitute."
Su Mingzhe saw that Li Chengqian was in a good mood, so he let him go back and continue to be Jingzhao Yin.
According to the two people's plan, the first five-year plan was called "Consolidating the Fund".
The foundation of the Tang Dynasty was Guanlong.
The foundation is to promote some of the technologies in "Tiangong Kaiwu" in Guanlong area.
Only when the Guanlong area develops can it be promoted to the entire world.
Now Li Chengqian is Jing Zhaoyin, and his two sons have received the positions of governor in the Guanlong area.
In other words, Li Chengqian and his two sons controlled all the military, political and taxation powers in the Guanlong area.
Su Mingzhe's delegation of power to Li Chengqian also convinced the civil and military ministers of the Tang Dynasty that the transfer of imperial power to the next generation would be very smooth.
When Li Chengqian left Hanyuan Hall, Su Mingzhe also walked towards the harem proudly.
If he were to be the supreme leader of the Nine-Five-Year Plan, Su Mingzhe would not imitate Yongzheng and exhaust himself to death.
Anyway, he has various civil servants and generals under him, as well as a highly motivated prince.
Just leave any work to them and just stay in the palace and take care of it.
After returning to the Ganlu Hall in the harem, Su Mingzhe found the four concubines.
Two days ago, he made another incarnation and contributed potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, peppers, peanuts and other crops to the court, and also left planting and cultivation manuals.
Su Mingzhe ordered people to plant these crops in the back garden of the palace, and now someone needs to be responsible for taking care of them carefully.
When selecting people to farm the land, Su Mingzhe called the four concubines in the harem to the Manlu Hall and asked them who was willing to take care of the crops.
Neither Concubine Yang nor Concubine Yin liked dealing with outsiders, so they just shook their heads.
Wei Guier thought that her skin was white and delicate and could not be burned by the sun, and she was unwilling to take on the drudgery of farming.
In the end, Concubine Yan took the initiative and took over the job.
"In this case, the three beloved concubines should leave first. Concubine Yan stays. I really have something to tell you."
Su Mingzhe squinted his eyes, glanced at the other three concubines, and said silently in his heart: "This is your last chance. You threw it away yourself. You can't blame me."
I."
The three concubines did not know what opportunity they had lost.
After the three concubines left, Su Mingzhe asked Wang De to send someone to call Xu Hui and Wu Meiniang and prepare a table of food and wine.
After the two talented people arrived, Su Mingzhe first introduced the three women.
The mothers of Concubine Yan De and Wu Meiniang are cousins, so they are considered cousins.
"Meiniang has met my sister."
Wu Meiniang was the most astute, and upon seeing this, she quickly saluted Concubine Yan.
Concubine Yan was sitting next to Su Mingzhe. She could only stretch out her hand to help her. She was kind and gentle, and said with a gentle smile:
"Sister, please get up."
"Xu Cairen's father is General Zuocheng, who will be the supervisor. Compared with other female officials in the palace, Xu Cairen has a relatively detailed understanding of workshops and crops."
After Su Mingzhe introduced the two of them, he smiled at Concubine Yan and said:
"My dear concubine, you can ask these two to assist you in taking care of those crops in the future."
"I will definitely live up to your majesty's trust."
Concubine Yan heard that the emperor attached great importance to these crops, and immediately bowed respectfully, saying that she would take the order seriously.
Su Mingzhe nodded, and then said to Wang De: "Wu Meiniang and Xu Hui are two talented people. They have a bright mind, a clear temperament, a good reputation and a good reputation... but Jieyu."
Wang De heard this and quickly drafted an edict to promote Wu Meiniang and Xu Hui from fifth-grade talents to third-grade Jieyu.
Xu Hui and Wu Meiniang, both women with sharp minds, guessed that these crops were not simple, and they quickly bowed respectfully to show that they lived up to the king's orders.
"My dear concubine, there are two beauties."
Seeing that the three women knew the seriousness of the matter, Su Mingzhe nodded with satisfaction:
"It's late today, let's all rest here."
"I accept the decree."
The three women looked at each other and then bowed together again.
The emperor has become more and more greedy for beauty recently, and almost every night he looks for two, three, even four, or five concubines and wives from the harem to come and sleep with him.
Even if there are times when I don’t have concubines or concubines, I’ll do things for the ladies of the world.
By the next day, everyone will definitely hear that several more Baolin, Yunv, and Cainv in the Manna Hall have been favored.
Seeing that more and more women were favored by the emperor in the harem, many women began to worry about the emperor's loss of vitality.
Of course, there are also many concubines who are secretly happy that the emperor is greedy and they will have more opportunities to have children in the future.
No matter what everyone thinks, Su Mingzhe will not listen to others' advice anyway, and has always gone his own way.
That night, three girls, Concubine Yan, Xu Hui and Wu Meiniang, were left to sleep with them, and they had another great time.
On the second day.
Su Mingzhe went to Hanyuan Hall to "work" in high spirits.
The three girls got up, washed up, and returned to Heyu Hall.
Heyu Hall is the palace where Concubine Yan De lives. It is located at the northernmost end of Taiji Palace, close to the palace wall.
When Concubine Yan arrived at the Heyu Palace, she arranged for the servants in the palace to go to Wang De and ask for a manual for planting and cultivating crops.
The manual is written in vernacular.
The three women are all high-class ladies with quick thinking and extensive knowledge. After taking a look at the manual, they have already memorized 99% of the contents.
Now that we understand the meaning of the manual, these fruits have been planted by the emperor.
The three women immediately arranged for the female officials and slaves in the palace to take turns to be on duty.
As soon as these crops bear fruit, the three women are ready to go to the emperor to receive the reward.
