All Hail Cousin Brother

It is not a day or two for the treasury to be empty.

Re-burial requires a lot of silver taels, how much more is given to King You, they have to use less, and they even need to pay out of their own pockets, other things can be discussed.

When it comes to money, no one wants to harm their own interests.

Re-burial is also a laborious task to rejuvenate the crowd. It is reasonable to say that one should follow the rules of the ceremony and the rules of the prince.

but!

First of all, His Royal Highness King You is a heroic general, and there has always been a precedent for conferring heroes in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

His Royal Highness King You is already a prince, and the posthumous title should be equal to that of the regent prince, and the funeral should be arranged according to the posthumous title.

Secondly, His Royal Highness King You suffered an injustice, and on the basis of the Prince Regent's ceremonial system, the imperial court required an [extra] generous burial.

In this way, His Royal Highness King You's funeral ritual system may catch up with the national funeral.

It would take a lot of effort to do it this way, and it would be of no benefit at all. Who would be happy?

What's more, Yin Huaixi is amazingly talented.

A group of old cabinet ministers in the cabinet, who have been in high positions for a long time, are a bit dependent on their elders, and they still look down on Yin Huaixi, a young and disabled boy.

But no one would be so stupid as to say these thoughts in public.

There was no end to the quarrel.

Rarely because of his old age, lack of energy, and poor health, Xia Yansheng, who had already worn out his temper, lifted his eyelids: "Yes, you are noisy, but you are also noisy. Apart from being noisy, you don't know how to use your brains?"

There was a sudden silence in the cabinet——

Xia Yansheng glanced at Yu Zongshen who was sitting beside him: "What do you say?"

Yu Zongshen fiddled with walnuts, and paused slightly: "You also have to take a look at the timing. You are well aware of the situation in the northern border. Right now, the situation in the northern border is unstable, and the stability of the northern border is imminent. The follow-up of the King You case There is even more urgency, if the situation in the northern border is almost missed, no one can afford the consequences."

All the cabinet ministers remained silent.

It's not that they don't know this truth, it's just that it involves their own interests, so it's inevitable that they have a lot to say.

Yu Zongshen continued: "The emperor proposed early in the morning that King You's tomb should be moved into the imperial mausoleum. Do you really think that moving the tomb is really just moving into the imperial mausoleum? Don't you need to prepare a sacrificial ceremony? His Highness King You died But it is disgraceful, if the move to the tomb is disgraceful, the royal face will be dishonored, and the reputation and majesty of the emperor will be damaged."

The old cabinet ministers had nothing to say, no matter how bloody they were fighting in the cabinet, no one would dare to stand up and oppose anything involving the emperor's interests.

Yu Zongshen lowered his eyes: "Yin Huaixi didn't want His Royal Highness King You to enter the imperial mausoleum, so he proposed a new funeral. The funeral ceremony will be beautiful, and the royal family will be honored, as well as the emperor's reputation and majesty. It doesn't matter if he enters the imperial mausoleum or not."

It is a great honor for the royal descendants to enter the imperial mausoleum.

But Yin Huaixi only wanted His Royal Highness King You to be buried in the boundary of Youzhou forever.

Xia Yansheng made a final decision: "Just follow Yin Huaixi's wishes."

"The re-burial is also in line with the etiquette system. It is a good thing for the Ministry of Rites to prepare sacrificial documents and record the merits of King You, so as to offer sacrifices to the heaven and earth, inform the people, command future generations, encourage the officials, and assist the country and the country. This is a good thing, and it should be so."

"During the mourning period, the court will be suspended for three days to show that the king's ancestors are virtuous, he has made meritorious deeds, and his virtue is worthy of his position. The king, courtiers, and common people mourn together with the whole country."

"King You and Concubine Wang have a deep love as husband and wife, and it is a good story that they both died together in adversity. Princess You was buried in Youzhou, and it is only natural for King You to return to Youzhou for a big funeral. If you want to come to the emperor, you can understand it, and you won't force it too much."

"After the mourning,

I will serve as the mountain mausoleum envoy, and lead a group of officials in Beijing to prepare for the funeral ceremony, and then the ceremonial envoy, the ceremonial envoy, the halogen book envoy, the Qiao Daodun delivery officer, etc., will help the spirit of the King of You back to Youzhou, and be in charge of the mausoleum and write the name of the mausoleum. , mourning documents and other funeral arrangements, this matter must be done properly. "

The room was so quiet that a needle could be heard——

Xia Yansheng continued: "The honor that should be given has also been doubled. There is no need to quarrel with Yin Huaixi because of a dead person. It is also wrong in front of the emperor."

Yu Zongshen also expressed his position: "The case of You Wang has been half a year since June, and it has already entered November. If the matter is not dealt with as soon as possible, do you want to save it for the New Year?"

Li Qiguang's case is still under trial, and it is still unknown how many people will be involved later.

Later, the case of Song Xiuwen will also take a lot of trouble.

At that time, the court should be in chaos again.

The cabinet stepped up the time, and after re-negotiating and finalizing the proposal, it was presented to the emperor at the court meeting the next day.

After the emperor saw it, he showed it to Yin Huaixi.

Yin Huaixi had no objection, and thanked him immediately.

The matter was thus settled.

Three days later, the emperor personally issued an edict, announcing to the world: "My noble son, who has been in the court for more than 30 years, inherits the virtues of the ancestors, the legacy of Gaozong, and respects the principles and laws of the court, and governs the vastness of our great Zhou."

"Xiu Bingjia, the town of foreigners and barbarians, has made meritorious service to the country;"

"Nailing talented people, governing the situation of Zhongxing in the Great Zhou Dynasty, has contributed to the people;"

"Establish a community, strictly enforce the tyranny of the clan, and make meritorious ancestors;"

"Suspension of punishment, heavy administration of officials, forgiveness of the world, so that grievances can be cleared, injustice cases can be investigated, and meritorious officials are governed;"

"Thin tax collection, encourage farming, rectify tax and service, relieve famine, sympathize with people's feelings, the merits will last forever;

"Don't accept color, have been in power for more than 30 years, empty the harem, reduce the silver of the middle palace, govern the world, and the merit lies in virtue;"

"..."

Yang Yang sprinkled an imperial edict, the beginning of which was that after the emperor ascended the throne, he ruled with benevolence and virtue, and only after that did he mention the case of King You.

"However, there are so many national uses, and there are not enough soldiers, I have made the mistake of missing investigation;"

"The ministers of the court formed cliques for private interests and protected each other at all levels, so that the King of the North was persecuted by the treacherous party and suffered injustice. I have lost governance, failed to investigate, and lost morality;"

"Dingbei Wang Yin practiced culture, morality and martial arts..."

In the following chapters, there is a full description of the virtues and achievements of Dingbei Wang Yin Lixing, as well as several large-scale victory battles in his life, every word is full of beauty and virtue.

"...Then, Yin Lixing's ancestral temple was restored, and Yin Lixing was posthumously conferred the [one-character side-by-side king], named Zhou Liwang. If he can't live with me, he can share the nobility of destiny, and if he dies, he can share the country of the country with me, and stand shoulder to shoulder with me. "

"I, hereby use this to make known to the world, to comfort the heroic spirit of King Zhou Li, to show the virtue of King Zhou Li, to encourage all the officials, to be loyal to the emperor and govern the country, and to obey the sufferings of the people. I admire this!"

After the edict, which was six feet long (about two meters), was read out, it was posted at Chang'an Gate.

Relevant documents were also distributed by the imperial court to the prefectures and counties across the country, and the officials of the prefectures were ordered to read out and post a list to announce it to all people in the world.

The emperor issued a decree: "The former Marquis of Wei Ning, now the Marquis of Ning Yuan, is in the same spirit as the Marquis of Changxing, cheating the superior and the inferior, stealing the military exploits of King Li of Zhou and his son Yin Huaixi, concealing the military situation, and criminals deceiving the emperor."

Uncle Ning Yuan knelt on the ground, his body shaking like a sieve, but he didn't even dare to take a breath.

－－－－－Off Topic－－－－－

As far as the imperial edicts unearthed so far and those discovered by the people are basically about two meters in length, it is impossible to forge imperial edicts.

First of all, the ancient emperors basically did not issue decrees at the court. They all passed the oral decree first, and then the imperial decree would be issued within ten days. Why?

Starting from the oral order, the imperial decree has to go through more than 30 cumbersome steps from manufacture to completion. Each link has a relevant person in charge. After the inspection is correct, it will be sent to the next inspection agency. Which step is out? Wrong, there are related people, take responsibility.

This has the highest probability and guarantees the authenticity of the imperial decree.

Of course, in order to prevent false preaching of the imperial decree, the first character of the imperial decree, the word "宇" in Fengtian Chengyun, is confirmed according to the position changes of various factors such as the astrology and weather of the day, so there is no "宇" in the imperial decree. Words are the same.

And this kind of secret is in the hands of the royal ruler, without succession, it is impossible to know.

There is also the material of the imperial decree, which has strict control standards and is specially supplied to the royal family. The specifications, craftsmanship, and raw materials are all extremely limited, and it is impossible to imitate.

The difference is a thousand miles, and there is no fake imperial decree that can escape the eyes of the imperial decree agency.
