As soon as Qin Jiyan said that the courtiers should be rewarded, Lord Feng understood what he meant. There was no need for Qin Jiyan to say more, and he consciously said: "Your Majesty, before you can reward the courtiers, do you need to first pursue the title of the former crown prince and the crown princess?"
"Yes." Qin Jiyan raised his hand, motioning for the eunuch behind him to come forward, and handed the imperial edict in his hand to Lord Feng: "I have drafted two posthumous titles, Lord Feng, take a look."
So fast?
Master Feng looked at Qin Jiyan in astonishment, their eyes met, and when he saw Qin Jiyan's indifferent and deep eyes with no emotion, Master Feng felt a chill go down his spine.
He was sure that he was being plotted.
The posthumous titles that the Emperor proposed for the former Crown Prince and Crown Princess were by no means simple. But before, the Emperor so easily agreed not to establish Qian Cheng as his queen now. In addition to taking advantage of the trend, it must also be for this reason.
Mr. Feng opened the imperial edict anxiously and felt dizzy when he saw a series of posthumous titles on it...
"Your Majesty, this... is an eighteen-character posthumous title?" Almost all the words of praise are used. Isn't this too exaggerated?
Moreover, the former prince died in an ignominious death. He remembered that the Supreme Emperor once accused the former prince of being incompetent and unfilial, but now Qin Jiyan gave the former prince saint, benevolence, sage, Ming, Rui, Kang...such a series of titles, really
Isn't it a slap in the face of the Supreme Emperor?
Forget it about the former crown prince. A son can post the title of his own father. No amount of praise is too much. But what is going on with the former crown prince? Why is it the same eighteen-character posthumous title as the former crown prince? Isn’t this a bit too grand?
?
You know, the emperor with the most posthumous titles in history only had sixteen characters.
"What, is there a problem?" Qin Jiyan raised an eyebrow and asked.
Of course he knew that the posthumous title he proposed was very grand, but... no matter how grand the posthumous title was, his father and mother could still deserve it, because - they were dead.
"I'm afraid the courtiers won't agree, and the Supreme Emperor will definitely not be happy either." Lord Feng said a little embarrassed.
The former crown prince was still the crown prince when he died. The Supreme Emperor did not grant any posthumous title. Qin Jiyan wanted to posthumously make the former crown prince emperor. This is understandable. No one would say that Qin Jiyan was wrong. It's just that this posthumous title was too grand and completely exceeded.
All emperors in the past dynasties.
When the time comes, when the Supreme Emperor dies, how will he be given a posthumous title?
"I want to establish a queen, but the court officials don't agree. Now I want to posthumously crown my parents, and the court officials don't agree with it either. Are the court officials being too lenient?" Qin Jiyan said with a cold face, making it clear that he was unhappy.
"Plop!" Mr. Feng's legs softened and he knelt down directly, "Your Majesty, please calm down. It's really that the posthumous title proposed by Your Majesty is too grand, and..." It is inconsistent with the facts.
The posthumous titles given to emperors are based on their life stories and moral cultivation, and are given a title that contains goodwill and is judgmental.
The posthumous title proposed by Qin Jiyan included many things that the former crown prince had never done, and was contrary to the Emperor's comments about the former Prince. As soon as this posthumous title came out, the Emperor would probably burst into anger.
Qin Ji silently expressed his request to be granted the title of Lord, and said categorically: "This posthumous title was decided by me." Therefore, no one is allowed to change it.
"Your Majesty, please think twice." It doesn't have to be such a grand posthumous title. The former prince has never been emperor for a day.
"I have thought twice about it. Lord Feng, you only need to draft the edict, and I will handle the rest." Qin Jiyan knew that he was a dictatorship, but which capable emperor was not a dictatorship?
Master Feng saw that Qin Jiyan had made up his mind, so he had no choice but to accept the order and retreat.
At the court meeting the next day, the courtiers once again asked Qin Jiyan to establish a queen and adopt a concubine. This time Qin Jiyan pretended that he had not heard anything, skipped the matter, and talked about the reward for the courtiers.
Qin Jiyan had just ascended the throne, and the courtiers had not yet figured out Qin Jiyan's temper, so they did not dare to go too far for a while. Moreover, it was a good thing to reward the courtiers, and there was no way they would undermine it.
Master Feng had drawn up the list of rewards early in the morning, but with a stroke of his pen, Qin Jiyan crossed out two-thirds, and only awarded dozens of people, among which the one with the heaviest reward was naturally General Feng.
General Feng Lao not only reinstated his official position, but also made him a duke based on his military merits, but his military power was not returned.
However, everyone can understand after thinking about it. The Supreme Emperor took away the military power of the Feng family and removed the official position of General Feng. Qin Jiyan was already going against the Supreme Emperor by reinstating General Feng. If he returned the military power to the Feng family,
, doesn’t it mean that the Supreme Emperor is outrageously wrong?
Besides, since ancient times, it has been easy to give military power but difficult to seize it. After finally taking away the military power of the Feng family, how could the emperor give it back to the Feng family so easily?
General Feng is the oldest person with the highest official position and the most seniority in this award. Apart from General Feng, most of the people awarded by Qin Jiyan are children from poor families and young people from various families who have just entered the officialdom.
Yan Qing, Feng Sijin, and Jiao Xiangdi were all on the list, but among this group of young talents, the reward Qin Jiyan gave Gu Chenghuan was inconspicuous, just like the generals who had made meritorious service in the northwest.
After giving rewards to the courtiers, the next step is to give rewards to your own family members. The King of Zhou is already a prince, so Qin Jiyan cannot give him any more titles. The fifth prince and King Zhao are both sinners, so Qin Jiyan can give rewards but not titles.
After a series of titles and rewards, the highlight soon came, which was to proclaim the former crown prince the emperor and the former crown princess the queen.
This is a normal thing, and the courtiers are not surprised, but...
When the series of posthumous titles were read out, all the courtiers were dumbfounded.
The former prince has only been involved in politics for a few years. He doesn't seem to have made any special achievements. Does he deserve such a high evaluation?
Also, those saints, benevolence, virtuous, wise, wise, and Kang...are they really not a slap in the face of the Supreme Emperor?
As the eunuch thought word by word, the faces of the courtiers became more and more contorted, but no one dared to interrupt, but quietly looked at Master Feng.
Mr. Feng is the chief minister. The emperor wants to posthumously title his parents. This posthumous title must be discussed with the chief minister and other ministers. If the imperial edict can be read out, Mr. Feng will agree to it, right?
Thinking of this, although the courtiers disagreed in their hearts, no one dared to say anything more. However, when they heard the posthumous title of the former Crown Princess, they felt confused again.
Xiao, Cheng, Hui, An, Yi, Min...the same eighteen-character posthumous names almost praised the former Crown Princess to the heavens.
The first princess, is she so good?
There is nothing wrong with the emperor posthumously naming his parents, and there is nothing wrong with magnifying the advantages of his parents. However, everything should be done in moderation. The posthumous titles the emperor granted to the former crown prince and the former crown princess far exceed those of previous emperors. Isn’t this too great?
Passed?
After the imperial edict was recited, the courtiers no longer knew what to say. They all looked at each other and knelt there motionless, using this method to resist the imperial edict issued by Qin Jiyan.
As expected, Qin Jiyan was not angry at all and snorted coldly, "What? Do you have any objections to this?"
"Your Majesty, is this... the decree of posthumous title going too far?" An honest and honest minister stood up.
Qin Jiyan pretended not to understand and asked, "Is it okay for me to posthumously name my biological parents?"
"I don't mean that. Your Majesty has nothing wrong with naming your biological parents, but isn't this posthumous title too much?" The emperor gave so many posthumous titles of praise to the former crown prince and crown princess. Was it created by the emperor?
You know, the Supreme Emperor has always disliked the former Crown Prince and Crown Princess. Even after they died, the Supreme Emperor did not think highly of them...
Will the Supreme Emperor be happy once this posthumous title comes out?
