Officials led by Zheng Yi, the Minister of Rites, walked in and saluted Yunxi. Yunxi's attention quickly turned to another urgent matter, and he had no time to greet them. He said directly: "Zheng Shangshu, how can the Ministry of Rites decide?"

Daxing Emperor’s funeral?”

Zheng Yi said: "Your Majesty, after discussing with my colleagues in the Ministry of Rites and Taichang Temple, we have reached an agreement:"

"The day after the official news of the funeral, the officials in the capital, dressed in plain clothes, with black gauze hats and black horn belts, went to the inner palace to listen to the imperial edict. They stayed in the office and stayed at the palace, and wept at several banquets in the morning and evening. After three days, they were dressed in plain clothes, and they cried in the morning and evening until the funeral.

.Starting from the day of service, it ends on the twenty-seventh day.”

"I ordered my wife to wear filial piety, take off her jewelry, and come in weeping from the Xihua Gate. All kings, princes, princesses, princesses, envoys, and palace officials will all be beheaded for three years and be eliminated in the twenty-seventh month."

"When attending court, they wear plain clothes, black gauze hats, and black horn belts. When leaving the court, they wear plain clothes. The ministers wear linen shirts and linen hats, linen braids, and linen shoes. The married woman wears a linen long-sleeved gown and a linen hijab. The bright utensils are like halogen books.

The god uses chestnuts, and the system is based on family etiquette."

"Passengers issue a posthumous edict to the world. On the day when the edict arrives, hundreds of officials will wear plain clothes, black gauze hats, and black horn belts, and bow four times. After listening to the reading, they mourn and bow four more times. They will be dressed in three days. Every time they set up an incense burner, they will come to cry for three days.

In addition, all officials were sent to the capital to offer sacrifices, and the sacrifices and rituals were prepared."

"In addition, the Xiaoling Mausoleum has a shrine supervisor, a Xiaoling guard and a shrine and sacrificial office."

Yunxi thought about it and thought it was okay, so he said, "Just do it this way."

Then Yunxi stood up and said: "There must be no mistakes."

Zheng Yi replied: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Yunxi added: "In addition, I have to mourn for three years."

This time Zheng Yi, Chen Xingshan and others knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, no! Change the sun to the moon. Kings can mourn for three years, but Your Majesty cannot!"

Yunxi had expected that they would stop him, so he immediately said: "Do you think that I follow the example of the ancients and say nothing? That's not true. When I come to court, I will wear a hemp hat, and when I retreat, I will wear a wand and stick, and in the suburbs, the ancestral temple will carry out the usual rituals.

"

Zheng Yi and others tried to dissuade him again and again, but Yunxi just refused to listen, so they had no choice but to accept it.

Yunxi asked again: "Have you drafted the posthumous title for Emperor Daxing?"

Zheng Yi didn't know that Yunxi had already decided to name the temple Taizu, so he said, "I intend to call him Emperor Gao and name the temple Taizu."

When Yunxi heard it, he was indeed Emperor Taizu Gao, which was the same as the one proposed in history. So he said: "Okay, let's call him Emperor Taizu Gao."

After saying this, Yunxi felt that the most urgent matter was over, and he had really worked very hard today, so he said: "It is already Haishi. You go back, and remember to inform all the Yamen about the funeral."

Zheng Yi replied: "Yes, Your Majesty." Then he withdrew. Chen Xingshan and others also bowed to Yunxi and then retreated.

Yunxi rubbed his sleepy eyes, forced his way back to Qianqing Palace, and persuaded Yunwen and the others to go back and rest as well.

Yun Wen said: "Your Majesty, you will have to work hard tomorrow. Go back and rest. We will stay here to mourn."

Yunxi said: "No! We have to mourn tomorrow, how can we not rest." He winked at Wang Bu.

Wang Bu received the signal and ordered his guards to come forward and force all the princes present to take a rest, leaving only Zhu Song, the oldest among the princes in Beijing, to keep vigil.

Yunxi himself also went back to rest.

At the moment when the death knell of the palace rang, in the hall where the host and guest of the Ministry of Etiquette entertained tribute envoys from the feudal states, and in the courtyard specially designed for Korean envoys, a man who looked to be in his forties was counting the clocks carefully.

When the bells finished ringing, he said excitedly: "It's the emperor of the Ming Dynasty."

At this point, I remembered something was wrong, so I hurriedly lowered my voice and said, "That's awesome. Your Majesty, you are so good at predicting things. You actually sent me to the Ming Dynasty at this time."

After finishing talking to himself, he returned to the house and said to the other Korean envoys: "I will return to the country immediately, and you will stay here to wait for the funeral of the Ming Emperor." He said this in Korean.

Other envoys responded in Korean: "Yes, my lord."

Previously, this person was a close confidant of North Korea's Jing'an Lord Li Fangyuan. He had been leading a tribute envoy team to the capital since March this year.

Li Fangyuan didn't know why, but he stubbornly believed that there would be big changes in the Ming Dynasty this year, so he sent his cronies to lead a team of envoys to worship. Now something happened. This cronies immediately followed the previous agreement and prepared as quickly as possible.

Return to North Korea as quickly as possible.

This man's name is An Chengjun, and he is a relative of Li Fangyuan's closest confidant, so he was sent to carry out such an important task.

He took out the badge given to the envoy team by the Ming Dynasty and went to meet the person in charge of the Hui Tong Pavilion.

Early the next morning, Yunxi couldn't sleep deeply because he had something on his mind, so he woke up early. After waking up, he said to Wang Xi: "Xiyao is awake?"

Although Yunxi was very concerned about his concubine, the main reason why he asked Xiyao if he was up today was because today was the first day of the funeral, and Xiyao had many tasks that she could not escape as a concubine.

Wang Xi said: "Your Majesty, the empress has also gotten up."

Yunxi immediately put on mourning clothes and went to the palace where Xiyao rested.

When Yunxi arrived, Xiyao had already dressed up in mourning clothes and was greeting the palace maids. The eunuch was preparing for the mourning. When she turned around, she saw Yunxi coming in. She hurriedly bowed and said, "I have seen your majesty.

"

Yunxi immediately helped her up and said, "How can I be polite at this time?" Then he said, "It's really hard on you. You just gave birth to a child and I have to work like this. I'm really sorry."

"Those things that can be done by others, let others do it. You must rest more, otherwise it will be bad if you get the root cause of the disease. If it doesn't work, Xiyi wears makeup and looks the same as you. There are some things that make you look the same.

She will take your place."

Xiyao listened to Yunxi's words and smiled bitterly in her heart. She didn't want to take a good rest and confinement, but could she? Of course she would hand over all the things that could be entrusted, but how could Xiyi do it for her? Xiyi

She's pregnant and doesn't let people see it? Her reputation will be ruined.

Xiyao forced a smile and said: "Your Majesty, I understand." Then he changed the subject and said softly: "I'm not working hard, I just suffered a lot for Wen Yuan, and I can't celebrate every birthday."

Yunxi was stunned for a moment before he realized that Wenyuan's birthday was Lao Zhu's death anniversary, so of course he couldn't make a big deal about it. He didn't even think of this, and immediately lamented that men and women think about things differently.

Then three days from today, it will be Lao Zhu's funeral. Yunxi is as busy as a dog every day, and basically doesn't sleep much; Xiyao is better, but she is also very busy, basically whenever she has free time, she can

sleep.

Xiyao was very grateful to Concubine Guo Ning. She took over a lot of things, and at this time, the Ming Dynasty was founded and there were not many rules, so that Xiyao would not have to kneel or stand outside all the time. In the end, Xiyao finally had no

Drop the root of the disease.

On the eleventh day of the fifth leap month, Yunxi officially ascended the throne as emperor. Under normal circumstances, the history books will say: "The next year will be the first year of ##," and the warning signal should be replaced by the year name. But it is estimated that Yunxi will wait until

This sentence cannot be accepted in "Benji" because Yunxi did not decide on the year name.

The Ming Empire had always officially enthroned the new emperor shortly after the death of the old emperor, so the people from the Ministry of Rites began to prepare for the enthronement ceremony on the eighth day of the fifth lunar month.

day.

Yunxi didn't care about this. Anyway, he shouldn't start a big fight within Lao Zhu's twenty-seven days. It didn't matter which day he succeeded. Anyway, the queen and crown prince were usually conferred at the beginning of the year of the Yuan Dynasty. Xiyao didn't need to catch the cold, so he nodded in agreement.

Already.

Then Zheng Yi, the Minister of Rites, said: "Your Majesty, please decide the name of the reign after the Yuan Dynasty is changed."

Yunxi said: "What two words did you draft?"

Sure enough, the editor of the Hanlin Academy came forward and said: "Your Majesty, the reign name proposed by the ministers is Jianwen, which exactly corresponds to the reign name of Emperor Taizu, Hongwu."

Of course Yunxi said: "Are there others?" He denied this reign name in disguise.

Hu Run, editor of the Hanlin Academy, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the "Historical Records of the Five Emperors" says: Father's righteousness, mother's kindness, brother and friend, brother's respect, son's filial piety, inner peace and outer peace; "Shangshu" also says: The earth is flat and the sky is flat.

, The six governments and three affairs are allowed to be governed, and they will be relied on forever. This is a meritorious service."

"So I thought it would be better to give the reign name Heisei."

Yunxi looked at him doubtfully: "Isn't this guy also a time traveler? Why did he come up with such an era name?"

Then of course Yunxi said: "That's not right. Do you still have any?"

Dong Yong, the Imperial Academy's Attendant, said: "Your Majesty, there is a saying in "Shangshu": if you are virtuous, you will be close to the nine tribes, and the nine tribes will be harmonious. The people will be harmonious, the people will be bright, and the nations will be harmonious. It is better to use Zhaohe as the title of the year."

Yunxi was a little dumbfounded. Did the two people discuss it or something? Why do they both have this type of year title?

Yunxi still said: "That's not right. Do you have anything else?"

At this time, Dai Deyi, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, stepped forward, and Yunxi asked first, "Is the reign name you have planned for Taisho?"

Dai Deyi was stunned and said: "The reign name proposed by me is not Taisho."

Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then you say it."

Dai Deyi said: "Your Majesty, there is a saying in the Book of Changes: The sage looks south to listen to the world, and governs towards the Ming Dynasty." The Book of Wei Shu Shizong Benji says: Appointing virtuous people to rule wisely, since the past, the rules have been passed, the style of practice is praised, and the practice is achieved.

However, I thought it would be better to name it Meiji."

Then Dai Deyi said again: "Your Majesty, the meaning of Dazheng comes from the "Book of Changes": Lin, just soaked and long, speaking and smooth, strong and middle and responding, the great man uses righteousness, this is the way of heaven."

"I think this year name is also suitable."

Yunxi was almost nervous and said gaffefully: "No, no, no! Do you have anything else?"

Everyone looked at each other in shock. Yunxi had already denied five reign titles. What should we do next? Who would still raise the issue?

At this time, Chen Di, the Minister of Rites, said: "Your Majesty, I still have you."
