Yunxi held back his temper and said, "Chen Qing, please speak." But he was thinking: There is no such type of era name anymore, right? I had never heard of it before the Meiji period. Is there anything the same?

Chen Di said: "Your Majesty, there is a saying in "Shang Shu Wu Yi": I dare not waste Ning, Jiajing Yin State, as for the small and big, there is no time to complain. It is better to name Jiajing as the year."

Yunxi thought: 'Finally there is a normal reign name. But the emperor with this reign name in history was not a good emperor, and the implication is not good.'

So Yunxi still said: "It's inappropriate."

At this time, no one had any suggestions. Yunxi rejected the reign title for six consecutive years, and no one had any suggestions.

Seeing that no one mentioned it again, Yunxi simply decided to shelve the issue for the time being and said: "The reign will not be changed until next year. The enthronement ceremony will be held first, and we will wait until there is a reign name that I am satisfied with."

The ministers looked at each other again. The Ming Dynasty had not been established for a long time, and there were no similar rules. It was inconvenient for everyone to violate Yunxi's wishes, so Yunxi ascended the throne as emperor without a new title.

Although Yunxi ascended the throne and became emperor, it does not mean that Lao Zhu's funeral is over. It only means that the clothes have been worn. The ministers will not affect their normal work and rest except for crying for a while in the morning and evening. Although the clothes cannot be taken off

, officials in the capital must wait until twenty-seven days to take off their service, and officials from other places must wait until three days after taking service.

The descendants of Lao Zhu had to mourn for three years, which was actually twenty-seven months. Yunxi could have changed the day to the month, but Yunxi finally decided to mourn for twenty-seven months, but his freedom was still

higher than others.

As for the common people, they are not allowed to marry within a month and wear plain clothes for twenty-seven days in the capital. People in other places wear plain clothes for thirteen days and are also not allowed to marry for a month. Slaughter is prohibited for forty-nine days.

On the first day of Lao Zhu's funeral, which was the sixth day of the leap month of May, Yunxi followed Lao Zhu's will and had forty of Lao Zhu's concubines buried for their childbirth.

When the King of Qin Zhu Xi passed away, Lao Zhu ordered several of Zhu Xi's concubines to be buried. At that time, Yunxi felt that this was very inhumane and cruel, and he wanted to abolish it.

Now Yunxi still thinks this is inhumane and cruel, but if you consider the problem from a practical point of view, you will find that there is a certain rationality in sacrificial burial.

It is impossible for the concubines of the late emperor to be released from the palace to let them live freely. After Yunxi succeeded to the throne, he released a group of maids from the palace in the name of praying for Lao Zhu, but the concubines could not be released from the palace according to this.

of.

Whether these concubines are kept in the palace or sent to be nuns like in the Tang Dynasty, they are actually a burden to the country. Especially if the emperor changes frequently, there will be a lot of concubines of the previous emperor. Those concubines will accumulate.

Those who have a good reputation have to allocate people to serve, which is a matter of investment and no output.

But if you are buried, it will be over once and for all, and the investment for many years will be gone. So Yunxi is very confused about this issue.

So in the end Yunxi decided not to think about it for the time being. Anyway, he wouldn't have to think about this issue anymore in the future and would leave it to future generations.

==================================================

==========

On the 16th day of the fifth month, a cavalry galloped past the south gate of Beiping City. Within a moment of burning incense, Zhu Di's bodyguard Zhang Wu hurried into the Prince of Yan's Mansion and rushed to where the Queen's Mansion was joking with the concubines.

In front of Zhu Di, several of Zhu Di's concubines and wives were so startled that they hurriedly ducked away. Only the principal concubine, Xu, stood up gracefully.

Zhang Wu no longer cared about etiquette and said directly: "Your Highness, Your Majesty, you have passed away."

Zhu Di was so shocked that he stood up immediately, and then cried: "Father!" Then he leaned on the table and started crying.

Mrs. Xu also burst into tears, but she still said to Zhu Di: "Your Highness, please forgive me."

Zhang Wu said: "The traveler is at the front mansion. Your Highness, you'd better listen to the imperial edict first."

Zhu Di cried a few more times, and then with Xu's consolation, he stood up, asked the eunuch to find a temporary sackcloth to wrap him up, and came to the front hall to listen to the edict.

After the pedestrians finished reading out the will, Zhu Di let the pedestrians go down to rest, then turned to the concubine Xu, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, and the young grandson Zhu Gaosui behind him and said: "Although my father's will does not allow him to enter the capital, as his son, I am not allowed to enter the capital."

, how could you not go to Beijing to personally deliver the spirit to Xiaoling?"

Then he said to Mrs. Xu: "Come to Beijing with me." Mrs. Xu nodded.

Then Zhu Di said: "Gao Sui is still young, so he should stay in Peiping."

Then Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Gaochi, thought for a moment and then said: "You will also come to Beijing with me."

Zhu Gaochi said with tears in his eyes: "Yes, father." Among the people present, the one who had the deepest affection for Lao Zhu was Gao Chi, so he was also the saddest among the people present.

Zhu Di then said to Ge Cheng, the chief officer on the other side: "Chang Shi Ge, you stay in Peking. During my absence, you will take care of Peking's affairs."

Ge Cheng, who was also crying, nodded.

Zhu Di added: "This order is sent to the whole city, and all the three guards of Yanshan will pay tribute. The people of Beiping City will mourn according to the instructions in the imperial edict." Ge Cheng nodded again.

Afterwards, Zhu Di ordered several more things, and Ge Cheng agreed one by one. Then Lao Zhu took his family back to the apse.

In the afternoon, the entire city of Beiping learned about the death of Lao Zhu, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. For a time, the funeral shops were extremely popular. All the plain cloths were sold out. There were still people who couldn't buy plain cloths to make clothes.

Stop tearing out black cloth to make clothes, and try to go out as little as possible.

Naturally, the Sun family of King Yan's right guard also knew about this matter. Tan Wei'er felt uncomfortable knowing that Lao Zhu had passed away.

Although Lao Zhu later sent someone to execute her, Tan Wei'er did not resent Lao Zhu for this. This was too common in the palace, and Tan Wei'er herself had experienced it many times.

She was willing to admit defeat, so she was not resentful. On the contrary, she still missed her days in the palace when Lao Zhu was emperor. After the death of Crown Princess Yiwen, life in Wenhua Palace was quite easy.

Although Lao Zhu is strict, he has clear rewards and punishments and handles things in a very fair manner without any confusion.

Just when Tan Wei'er licked the white thread and began to sew plain clothes, her father-in-law Sun Shao came over. Seeing that no one else was around, he said to her: "You should have met the late emperor, your majesty.

, is it good or bad?”

Tan Wei'er asked doubtfully: "Eunuch, aren't our family from Fengyang? Why, have you never met the late emperor?"

Sun Shao said: "When we were fighting in the south, I was just a small soldier, so I only saw the late emperor a few times from a distance. Besides, even though I was a member of a hundred households at the time, I couldn't see the late emperor. Why?

Do you know who the late emperor is?"

Tan Wei'er said: "I have only met His Majesty a few times. However, the late emperor was fair in dealing with matters, and he worked hard and worried about state affairs every day. He was a good emperor. He really wanted to make the people of Ming Dynasty more prosperous."
