Chapter 145: Stinging

In the rainy season of the first year of Xiangfu, the Northern Liang Royal Mansion took off all the big red lanterns, and the festive bright red spring couplets were replaced with white couplets in the early hours of this day. There is a gentle wind and rain, the trees want to be quiet but the wind and rain are not, the son wants to raise but his parents are no longer there.

Raindrops knocked on the scales of millions of pieces of tiles, from far and near, gently heavy gently, wrapped up a stream of slender water along the tile grooves and eaves gurgling down, such as wine hanging cups, knocking and sliding sound of the dense weaving network. When the Qingliang Mountain House outside the door for everyone to see the joints, the whole Liangzhou City are confused, a rumor that many old people have the courage to come to the foot of the mountain outside the King’s House, see the miserable white bottom of the Spring Festival Couplet, and then an hour later, the city no longer hear a firecracker and a bell and drums, all hanging white lanterns, all change the white bottom of the joints. Liangzhou city main road straight to the north Liang Wang Fu, the street full of onyx, and then Liangzhou assassin Hu Kui clad in the most coarse raw linen made of decapitated mourning clothes, led all the Liangzhou government officials, rushed to the door, Hu Kui did not step on the steps, but stood at the bottom of the stone steps, facing the city on the main road of the tens of thousands of people in the Liangzhou, silent for a few moments, turned around, and shouted with all their might, “a worship! ”

Wind and rain, the street white kneeling a large area, one worship three kowtow, three kowtow sound, sound heavy as spring thunder.

“Bow again!”

“Three times!”

One worship three kowtow, three worship nine kowtow.

……

Tai’an City, Stinging. Beijing officials are to early morning as a bitter thing, many official old oil has long been practiced on time to step into the palace forbidden skills, just today’s court nine out of ten early clusters outside the palace gate, the Royal Road presents a cloudy and treacherous festive atmosphere, there is no one to poke that layer of windowpaper, although the city of Tai’an already know that the old man in Beiliang can be counted on to die, I don’t know how many people in the clap their hands, groups of people, and for this reason, floating a white and a white, drunk and drunk, have to be let in. A white, drunk, have to be carried home. In accordance with the law of the clan of the Liyang dynasty, the death of the feudal king, need to be reported by the son of the eight hundred miles to the capital within the court and the Zongrenfu, Xu crippled is a king of a different name, the Zongrenfu just, but according to the theory that also have to inform the Zhao room, just too safe this side of the Ministry of Rites bitterly can not wait, the Zhao family Prince of Heaven is also generous enough to not bother, just set the statute, in the morning court today, assessed the posthumous name of the king of Beiliang, the Ministry of Rites first submitted to the zhangzha, this The Ministry of Rites chicken jumping, first with that person butcher is in-laws of the Ministry of Rites Secretary Lu Dao Lin to sick not out of the Ministry of Rites affairs completely hands off, group of dragons without a head of the Ministry of Rites, two of the third grade of the right and left ministers of the Department of Rites on the road is different from each other, each other to pass the buck and the Ministry of Rites of the Ministry of Rites of the Ministry of Rites of the Ministry of Rites of the Department of the Secretary Chiang Yongle and two cunning ministers of the Department of Rites compared to this rank lower than the one grade, but also managed to discuss the matter of the posthumous title, in fact, in the past, the granting of the civilian and military posthumously, are There are traces to follow, the mind of the Son of Heaven is not too deep, Song’s “Wenhuai”, Lu Fei Edward’s “Wen Gong”, are from his handwriting, the two away from the Yang Mei posthumous position in the back, just in accordance with the interpretation of the Posthumous Book, Wyoming word four meanings, Jiang Yongle took which “Calling people good”, in line with the monthly review of the world’s famous Song Xiaofuzi before the merit, the old leader of the Qing Party, Lu Fei Edward’s Christine took the word “for also” the meaning of His Majesty, the Emperor are permitted to play, the court did not have any objections, although Chiang Wing Lok in the Song Xiaofuzi posthumously played! Although Jiang Yongle in the Song posthumous posthumous play on the heel, but often walk in the river which can not wet shoes, no one too harshly criticized him for this Qingliang Division.

Just to the Northern Liang King Xu Snapdragon here, to try to give this human butcher coffin finalization, he Jiang Yongle has a few guts? How many heads can be chopped off? Even if the fluke guessed the emperor’s mind, as long as the world is not clear, or not the appetite of the temple ministers, or even by the group of martial arts in Beiliang hate, he is a small clearing house, casually give a pair of shoes, this life in the career even if it is no longer possible. Jiang Yongle in today’s early morning three days before the imperial order, the results of Zhang Lu origin of the Ministry of Rites left minister said with a stern face to comment on the word “Dai”, then Jiang Yongle lips trembling, Dai word is the penultimate word in the eighteen Wu Feng, roughly the meaning of the word is “no merit, no fault”, Jiang Yongle gas. Face green, mash glue is not this mash method, as long as you dare to push this word to the meeting, who are going to take him out of the zhangzhang Qingliang Division down a well, the results of the GuLu disciples of the right minister PanChunJian even more shameless, bent on pushing him into the fire pit, gently and cleverly said that is clearly a bad posthumous “yang” word, because the dynasty does not have the flat posthumous The saying, also very few to the minister to set up a bad posthumous, more is the beauty of the posthumous, just high and low different only. Jiang Yongle almost to give this guy a punch, but in the end did not have the courage, Pan Chunjian is a real sand field martial arts origin, really want to fight, ten Jiang Yongle have to get down.

Jiang Yongle with a dead daughter-in-law like crying all day long, these three days do not know how much hair fell out of the root, especially the hibernation morning morning before a few hours of light sitting, almost turned over the book “Posthumous Solution”, is still slow to put pen to paper, it is really even the death of the heart. Not yet dawn, Jiang Yongle slap off the tealight and the book “posthumous solution”, fell to the ground, the Qingliang Division violently got up, nearly crazy, trembling fingers, pointing to the foggy dark scene outside the window, cursing: “Xu Laoer, you die also want to let Jiang mou uneasy?!”

Waiting outside the door of the maid trembling with fear and trembling, bravely knocked on the door of the room, was inside the house Qingliangji angrily shouted, the maid no longer dare to push the door to disturb the master’s big event. Jiang Yongle sighed, crouched down, pick up the “posthumous solution”, the books were dipped in tea, Jiang Yongle raised his cuffs to wipe off the tea stains, carefully tearing open the pages of the book pages sticking together, put back on the desk, cloaked Jiang Yongle stretched out his five fingers to stroke the silver hair, a stupid smile, sitting upright, writing, will be Wenwu total of forty-two beautiful and fifteen evil posthumous split up randomly written on a lanting cooked Xuan, after the pen was put down! After the first day of writing, the Qinglian Secretary is already surprisingly tired, panting, turned his head to the house outside the maid commanded a sentence, let her go to bring a coin, confused beautiful maid into the house, only to see the master pointed to a handwriting vaguely through the back of the paper of the cooked Xuan, so that she will be resting on the paper, the maid to do, was Jiang Yongle waved a wave of hand to repulse, Jiang Yongle one hand to hold down the copper coin, one hand turned over the cooked Xuan, so the intention is to listen to the heavenly Qinglian Secretary! His Excellency saw the word on which the coin rested.

Li!

Posthumous interpretation: meritorious to the state, slaughtering the innocent.

Jiang Yongle hesitated and muttered, “Heaven’s will.”

The eastern sky rose fish-belly white, the great hall above, Ying material ji ji, full of civil and military, more than three ranked officers can only wear the purple robe court dress, some of the Royal Decree on the title of the old man even have embroidered python of the official patch, wearing scarlet robes official uniforms of the ministries of the ministers of the Department of the Secretary of the majority of the position of the back, and now sealing the king on the vassal, the great hall on the only one left is a yellow python suit of the Crown Prince Zhao Zhuan, he stood alone in the left and right before the civil and military, the closest to the Nine Steps Dan Dian, Zhao family son of heaven sitting high in the dragon chair, two huge incense burners immortal gas, sitting in the north and looking south, when the sky is good, he can even see outside the palace gate that the imperial road is far away. The emperor closed the line of sight, almost no one in the hall dared to raise their heads, but also the first minister Zhang Julu two or three of the six departments of the main officer, as well as several generals a few people, dare to look at the level, the only Tantan Weng Huan Wen tilted his head up, not looking away, the emperor did not know the old man in the end to look at some of the what, looking around the week, the Ministry of Rites, Lu Daolin did not go to the court, and chest embroidered with a unicorn official patch son of the new Ministry of the army Chen Zhi Bao in the closed eyes and stare at the god, Gu Jiantang all the time! guarding the border, the military ministers on this hall to Chen Shangshu as the honor, I heard that Gu Lu probably got Gu old Shangshu’s authorization, at first quite peaceful, many military affairs, are in accordance with the dove Gu Lu’s new Shangshu mean to do, in fact, Chen Zhi Bao also less involved, quite slack, all day long is to read in the Gu Lu, after the Gu Lu Xing Xu felt that this villainous Tu Qian Donkey exhaustive, but Erer, began to initiate provocation! As a result, the lead of the Ministry of War treasurer Huang Calyx that day was stripped of the official uniform thrown out of the Gu Lodge, Gu Lodge in the double Lu Lang, Lu Baijie and Lu Shengxiang stood by and watched with folded arms, eyelids did not lift a bit, a wide range of Huang Calyx lobbied around, after which the Imperial Palace of Justice began to impeach the death of the Chen Shangshu, and the results of the emperor gently Huang Master’s wife of the four enjoinments were canceled in the foot of the Son of God, Huang Calyx did not dare to anger also dare not say, run! To go to the border “distraction”, but the great pillar Gu Jiantang are unwilling to see him one side, Huang Calyx is still a bachelor identity, reduced to a pile of great jokes in the capital.

Liyang’s morning court if there is no Imperial Historical Office gang of old guys to send out the “barking” sound, and not thus trigger a variety of hilltop party fights, the ministries in the court meeting has always been brief, because His Majesty is extremely hardworking, and often all-night approval of the Zhu, they are subjects, always have to be sympathetic to some. Various matters in the center of the dynasty to get His Majesty’s nod or dismissed, through the policy, and then will be communicated to the world, the benefit of the north and south. Today’s morning court unusually smooth, the Ministry of household minister Wang Xionggui and the emperor endowed last year’s Jiangnan Guangling two land measurement and tax collection, and around the treasury granary reserve audit, as the next helmsman of the Zhang party Wang Shangshu, Wang Xionggui knowledge of the matter are outstanding, endowed with a mellow voice, not to mention the content of the good thing, but only the Wang Shangshu that calm demeanor, so that the hall of the younger generation of the late generation of students convinced. Minister Zhao right Ling is also a slightly clichéd suspicion of the report, to the capital last year, large and small officials merit assessment of the “Beijing examination” to end, the emperor also followed the trend of the decree to let the commoner origin of Zhao Shangshu presided over this year’s world officials “big assessment”, “Reserve Minister of the first a,” “Reserve Minister of the first a,” “Reserve Minister of the first a,” and “Reserve Minister of the first a. “Storage phase of the first a” Yin Maochun no longer assist, last year’s Beijing assessment is the emperor intends to let Zhao Yusong “kill the chicken with a bull knife”, in fact, in the “Yin storage phase” to pave the way. Everyone in the hall know, if not the Ministry of Rites Secretary Lu Daolin is not in the temple, today also announced that Yin Maochun presided over this year’s examination, the so-called disciples all over the world, when this said the mainstay of the temple, in fact, only a handful of Song Laozi, Zhang Shoufu, very simple, all years of the imperial examinations, regardless of the master of the room how to change the master is the rotation of the two big brother sitting. Subsequently very few voices in the court Chen Zhi Bao opened his eyes, when he moved out of a step, fell into the field of vision of the dynasty of civil and military personnel, had secretly moisturized the throat of a purple-robed name of the Secretary immediately shrunk back, Chen Zhi Bao speech cold, said the two Liao guards as well as the abolition of the Jizhou military towns, and then it is about the southern imperial edict of the state of acacia due to the fight for the royal wood and the sixteen tribes involved in the riot. This makes the festive atmosphere on the temple suddenly cold many, but the front row of several important ministers, quickly glanced at His Majesty the Emperor’s face, is still smiling, not in a hurry to open the ruling, just a smile and warm words to let Chen Shangshu then go to Qinli Pavilion this “Cabinet”, with those temple cabinet university professors together with the officials and ministers to discuss slowly, naturally, there will be a few living Lang On the side record archives. After that, there is last year with the Ministry of household Wang Shangshu nasty gap in the Ministry of punishment Han Lin reported matters, there are two temple cabinet university scholar also check the gaps, said some irrelevant things.

Then, when the first-ranking minister of the door under the province of the left servant Huan Wen finally slowly retracted the line of sight, coughed a cough, all of them suddenly hit the spirit, the good show to take the stage.

The blue-eyed purple bearded Zhang Julu stood at the side of Tantan Weng, but ignored, just looked toward the Prince Zhao Zhuan not far away from a vacant lot, the year before last, there is still for the old master of the Western Chu Sun Xiji set a chair, just from the old man into the master of the door under the province to the resignation of the left eunuch, “relegated” to take the role of the second grade of the Guangling Road Secretary, now no one to the chair. Zhang first minister and turned his head to look behind him, students Wang Xiong Gui and many people ministers are looking at Jiang Yongle, and its side by side with the Ministry of Justice Zhao right age happened to look at the back of the first minister, was caught squarely in the spring of the Yong Hui, Zhao right age immediately skimmed over the head. Yong Hui first year to Yong Hui four years, when the current son of God ascended to the throne of the initial, Zhang Julu is also at that time to become the dynasty’s chief minister, four years in a row to take charge of the world of science and technology, he Zhao right Ling, fellow countrymen Yuan Guo, as well as Yin Maochun Wang Xionggui Han Lin three people, are at this time the carp jumped the Dragon Gate, is considered to be out of the same door, are all the students and students of Zhang’s students and students, but in the end, the first is the Ministry of Works Yuan Guo disillusionment to leave the Zhang party, the next Yin Maochun to enter the master of the Hanlin Academy, the door to their own. Hanlin Academy, set up their own door, followed by Han Lin was also repudiated by Zhang Shoufu Zhang party, and never set foot in that Zhang hut, the six ministries in the great power of the Ministry of mandarins has always been regarded as Zhang Shoufu’s own home, but unfortunately, these years is also the appearance of the heart away, Zhao right age some guilt, but not to talk about any regrets, he is not willing to settle for people under Zhao right age in Zhang Shoufu, under the no harm, just that what Wang Xionggui, back then! The imperial examination, is only a third place, why is Wang Xionggui most into the chief minister and at that time is still the state son of the left priest Huan Wen’s green eyes? Instead of him Zhao right age? Now that General Gu has left the Ministry of War, the six ministries have returned to normal, and the Ministry of Revenue in his hands is the most honored, Zhao Youling would like to know if the Chief Minister regrets choosing Wang Xionggui as the future head of the Zhang Party!

A trembling voice in the great hall interrupted the reverie of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Jiang Yongle of the Ministry of Rites Clearance Division stiffly walked out of the class line and slowly knelt down, “I, Jiang Yongle, have something to report.”

When Jiang Yongle gritted his teeth and said his posthumous proposal for the King of Northern Liang, the courtroom was in an uproar, the group of meritorious military generals even let out undisguised sneers and snickers, and the civil ministers were all in a strange mood.

Zhang Julu frowned, and Tan Tan Weng began to glare at the temple beams again.

Dressed in second grade lion official clothes Yang Shen Xing is the spring and autumn “hair” of the world’s famous generals, was awarded the real power of the great general of An Guo, eighty years of age, but by several younger him seven or eight years or even ten years old generals have to live a long time, those old guys died after the bestowal of posthumous posthumous, the family has few children and grandchildren to hold up the field, and inherit those several great generals! The title of the later, the age of a generation difference, not to mention because of the military reputation are not enough, it is difficult to be compared with Yang Shenxing. It can be said that Liyang military ministers, in addition to Gu Jiantang and two old men with the same generals, holding the capital of the military defense of Yang Shenxeng speak, no one dares not honestly put up their ears, old and strong Yang Shenxeng see no one on the temple to answer, out of a big grin, the old man into the temple to kneel down, and after the speech is not required to kneel, Yang Shenxeng first to the dragon chair side of the cupped hands to salute, and then looked to Jiang Yongle, sneer said: “Xu Snapdragon suffered deep sins, life as the king of Beiliang, but also got the title of the great pillar country, is already the imperial grace, now dead well, where is worthy of martial arts eighteen! From the bad posthumous name randomly pick a word in the front, the court even very worthy of his Xu Snapdragon!”

The old general’s words, Jiang Yongle atmosphere do not dare to breathe a breath, head down almost to knock to the ground, back four lark official patch some obvious sweat soaked.

Zhao family son of heaven leaned back against the dragon chair, seemingly smiling.

Ministry of War Minister Lu Shengxiang stepped forward and calmly said, “I thought Xu Snapdragon should posthumously resist the word.”

The court was in an uproar.

This posthumous name, that is a bad posthumous name in the very back, back respect and disobedience on, almost equivalent to the definition of Xu Snap into the Liyang dynasty of the traitor.

Many people are looking to the front of the python robe than Lu Shengxiang, Secretary of the Ministry of War Chen Zhi Bao, but a steady as Mount Tai’s upright back, see not half a clue.

Zhao right Ling seems to see the front of the first minister of the Lord shoulder slightly moved.

Then the former Beiliang old minister now the imperial relative Yan Jiexi stepped out, last year was awarded the Dongyuan Pavilion University Doctor Yan Lord shook his sleeve and knelt down, said in a deep voice: “I thought that the Anguo Great General’s statement, more appropriate.”

This made many of the courtiers who hoped that this guy didn’t know how to die and insisted on giving Xu Snap a beautiful posthumous title were greatly disappointed.

Just quickly let the disappointed civil ministers and military generals all smile heartily, the right priest of the State Scholarship Council Jin Lan Ting leisurely walked out of the class and said aloud, “Your Majesty, I agree with Servant Lu’s proposal, Xu Snap, this person steals the Northern Liang, his treacherous acts are too numerous to be written down, and his evil posthumous title of ‘Martial Resistance’ is the only thing that can pacify the world’s people’s hearts! ”

The corner of Zhao family’s heavenly son’s mouth curled up, still did not make a sound.

The dynasty of science patriarch left priest Yao Baifeng cold snort, not only out of the line, the vicissitudes of the old man also intentionally or unintentionally with the shoulder squeezed JinSanLang a stagger, which said: “general Xu primrose in this dynasty can not be ignored, no one can be compared to, and the military service in line with the posthumous name, YiLie two words can be used, if it is to use to the military ZhengDing service far ‘huan’, most appropriate! ‘, the most appropriate!”

In this way, it is even more clamor. The determination again good qi cultivation kung fu again deep courtiers, also began to whisper with the side colleagues.

Jin Lanting sneered: “Xu Snapdragon’s military achievements are there, but they are all rewarded by the imperial court to his opportunities, the trend is just, get the grace do not know thankful, this kind of piker, how worthy of Huan Yi Lie three posthumous? Ridiculous! Lord Yao, aren’t you afraid that once this posthumous award comes out, the world will be chilled?”

With Jin Sanlang to be the first to tear the face of the big villain, soon there has been a long time to discuss the three temple pavilion university professor jointly, and Lu Shengxiang and Jin Lanting’s posthumous “resistance”.

Several big men of the Imperial Palace of History also responded.

For a time, the crowd is raging, many sarcastic harsh words have come out, xiongzhou giant Confucian Yao Baifeng angry face white.

From beginning to end, in everyone’s mind, the most should give Xu crippled minister of war did not speak, the most should add fuel to the fire of the chief minister Zhang is silent, during the ministry of mandarins Zhao right age and the ministry of household Wang Xionggui heart, almost at the same time want to come out, the result is Tantan Weng turned his head a glare, both bitter smile back to the footsteps.

Finally, the emperor stood up, expressionless overlooking the dynasty, gently put down a sentence on the retreat.

“The merits and demerits are equal, Xu Snap posthumous name Wu Li.”

The civil and military officials who have their own thoughts fish line out of the hall, many important ministers look at the eyes of the Ministry of Rites Clearance Department Jiang Yongle have more than a few points of warmth, this kid is obviously going to have a stroke of bad luck. I never thought of such a big trouble, but to him hard into a great fortune.

Huan Wen surprisingly did not go out of the temple with his closest friend Zhang Julu, but accelerated his steps early across the threshold, smilingly walked behind Jin Sanlang, who was about to walk down the alabaster steps, patted his shoulder, said to this elegant-looking right priest adult that there is something to discuss, followed by an elderly and a young man came to the corner of the corridor outside the temple, Jin Lanting thought that it was the early morning of today’s morning his proposal for the acceptance of Tantan Weng behind the Zhang Party, some steal, and I feel that I am mostly going to become the new nobility of Zhang Lu. As a result, the result is the old man Huan vigorously fist smashed in Jin Lanting’s face, scolded “in the past took you how many knives cooked Xuan, turn back according to the silver money not less than a millimeter to return you to this dog thing!”

The right priests and wine adults cover the face, looking at the old man’s departure figure, the sky collapsed generally.

On top of the steps, there has always been little interaction between the left priest Yao Baifeng and Zhang Julu today is actually standing side by side, Huan Wen walked over, three old man together to look at the imperial road outside the palace gate. Among the backs of the vast group of ministers, Chen Zhi Bao is the most notable.

The civil and military officials who were the pillars of the dynasty were all talking, without exception, they were all waiting to see the joke of the new king of Northern Liang, and they couldn’t stop laughing at the thought of the comical scene of that young man receiving the imperial decree.

Before Chen Zhi Bao walked out of the palace gate, he looked back at the roof of the main hall.

On this side of the steps, Huan Wen Qi Judas said, “What a hibernation time!”

Zhang Julu sneered softly, “Everything comes out of the shock, the stinging insects are frightened and go out.”
