Zhu Qizhen didn't want to dwell on this matter any more and said, "Okay, it's over. Let's just do it."

Only now did Zhu Qizhen feel the joy of being an emperor.

Not everyone has the prestige of Sanyang.

As soon as San Yang left, the most senior minister in the cabinet became Hu Bi.

But Hu Xi acted like he was taking care of himself. Except for matters related to the Ministry of Rites, he never spoke. Recently, Zhu Qizhen added something to him, which was about Huang Zhonglu's management. He didn't care about other people's business.

The same is true for Zhang Fu. Apart from military affairs, he doesn't care about anything else.

As for the remaining cabinet members, the most prestigious Cao Nai and Wang Zhi, the two of them combined could not put half as much pressure on Zhu Qizhen as Yang Pu.

Zhu Qizhen had just tasted the addiction of Qian Gang's dictatorship. He immediately said: "Yang Shoufu has served the country for decades and has worked hard and made great achievements. I think he should be given the posthumous title: Wenzheng. What do you think?"

"Your Majesty," Hu Xi had no choice but to speak, and said: "Dong Li's posthumous name is Wenzhen, and Mian Ren's posthumous name is Wenmin. Yang Shoufu's achievements are inferior to them, and I think it is inappropriate to surpass them."

Among the posthumous titles of civil servants, Wen Zheng was the first rank, and Wenzhen was the second. In some dynasties, Wen Zheng was even the first rank.

Yang Shiqi served as the chief minister of the cabinet for nearly thirty years, assisting the four emperors Taizong, Renzong, Xuanzong, and Zhu Qizhen. He made no mistakes and made contributions during several successions of thrones.

Especially in the early years of Zhengtong, Sanyang assisted the government and restored the vitality of the Ming Dynasty. Probably because of his son, he did not get the posthumous title of Wenzheng after all, and could only be lowered one level.

However, even so, there are few people who can compare to Wen Zhen.

As for Yang Rong being much worse than Yang Shiqi, it is because Yang Rong acted in some ways that were not in line with Confucian values. For example, after Xuanzong defeated the King of Han, Yang Rong suggested mowing down the roots and defeating the King of Zhao.

Also, when it came to Xuanzong's abolition, instead of dissuading him, he helped Xuanzong make suggestions to fool the Empress Dowager. Wait, these are all black points.

So Yang Rong's posthumous title is not too high.

In terms of Yang Pu's life achievements, he was far inferior to Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong in the first half of his life. Until he overthrew Yang Shiqi, he was always suppressed by the other two.

He only had a few years as prime minister.

Although he has done well in the past few years, it is not without stains. For example, Wang Zhen caused a series of major cases, such as the rebellion of Ye Liuzong, Deng Maoqi, etc.

No matter what, you should not make a copy.,

Zhu Qizhen said: "Mr. Hu's words are wrong. Since Yang Shoufu took office, he has built water conservancy in Hebei, which has saved the people of Hebei from drought and floods. He has reformed the salt tax and implemented the salt drying method. The salt tax has increased so much that now the government There is no need to worry about the treasury anymore, not to mention rectifying the administration of officials and cleaning up corruption. We have improved the governor system, and even made plans to change the functions of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Industry. All these things, I think about it now, and I feel very fond of it. Mr. Governance The world will only last four years, and then the world will be under its cover. Marquis Wu of Han Dynasty said that he should devote himself to death and die, and this is what you actually did."

"Sir, how come it is impossible for you to get a straight copy?"

The previous conversations between Zhu Qizhen and Yang Pu were all recorded by Shang Ren, the so-called daily notes. The only conversation at the end of the day was not recorded.

Now that Yang Pu is dead, Zhu Qizhen will treat Yang Pu's last words as non-existent.

He wants to promote Yang Pu infinitely. Naturally, he will do it for the living people to see.

Zhu Qizhen carefully reviewed the past few years of cooperation with Yang Pu. Generally speaking, the two parties have cooperated happily. Yang Pu sincerely wants to do something. Yang Pu must not do what Zhu Qizhen told him.

Come back and do what you feel you can do with all your strength. Even though there may be some unpleasantness.

But overall, Ming Dynasty is prospering. Even the upward trend is very strong.

This can be calculated from the increase in taxes in the Ming Dynasty and the decrease in the number of refugees in various places.

Zhu Qizhen naturally wanted to let the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty know that anyone who was willing to cooperate with him would be guaranteed a reputation after his death, so he wanted to continue the honeymoon period of great cooperation and small friction with the Wenchen Group.

Hu Xi stopped talking.

As for Hu Xi himself, he did not want to oppose Zhu Qizhen at all.

After all, Hu Xi has watched Zhu Qizhen grow up little by little, and he knows that he is not easy to mess with nowadays. Moreover, he focuses on maintaining his health and has resigned from Zhu Qizhen many times.

If Zhu Qizhen had approved him, maybe Hu Hui would become a leader in Wudang Mountain.

But Zhu Qizhen saw that Hu Hui had a childish face and was much more agile than ordinary young people in his movements. Naturally, he refused to let him go.

Zhu Qizhen felt that Hu Xi had no political agenda. If Hu Xi was in charge of the Ministry of Rites, at least the Ministry of Rites would have less trouble with Zhu Qizhen. Otherwise, Zhu Qizhen would be in trouble if he replaced a minister who wanted to establish a reputation in the court.

.

After all, Zhu Qizhen himself is a person who doesn't care much about etiquette.

But there were a lot of red tapes in the palace. If you really find fault with Zhu Qizhen, Zhu Qizhen is full of faults. The Minister of Rites found fault with the emperor in terms of etiquette.

The emperor has no choice yet.

Zhu Qizhen is determined to put Hu Hui in the position of a bachelor to support him in his old age. As long as Uncle Hu is in the position of a bachelor, he can come to the cabinet to sign in every day.

Anyway, Hu Hui has been the Minister of Rites for decades, and he can handle the affairs of the Ministry of Rites well with his eyes closed. Moreover, the Ministry of Rites is a Qingshui Yamen, so unless it is the imperial examination year, there is really nothing to do.

Hu Hui seemed to have understood Zhu Qizhen's meaning. If this matter hadn't involved the Ministry of Rites, Hu Hui would not have spoken out.

But when Hu Hui came out to speak, it was just a word.

When he thought about it, someone should continue to say that after all, although Yang Pu was good, his title of Wenzheng was a bit too outrageous. You must know that from the founding of the Ming Dynasty to the present, no civil servant has received this posthumous title.

Some people say that Fang Xiaoru's posthumous title was Wenzheng, but the posthumous title of Fang Xiaoru was given after the Nanming Dynasty. At least within this time period, there was no one.

No matter how Yang Pu looked at it, he couldn't afford this name.

But something happened that Hu Xi didn't expect.

Everyone comes out to speak.

The reason is very simple. Among the seven cabinet members, one is currently vacant. Zhang Fu will not speak on this matter. Hu Hu has already said that. Among the remaining five, Cao Nai has just received Yang Pu's bequest.

When he became the chief minister of the cabinet, he had to pay tribute to Yang Pu no matter what. This matter may be a little inappropriate, but it is not suitable for him to talk about it.

Ma Yu and Gao Gu were both students of Yang Pu. Faced with such a situation, they naturally had to shut up. It was a bit difficult to get them to agree to it against their will, and even more impossible to get them to strongly oppose it.

After all, he is his own teacher.

As for Wang Zhi seeing that everyone was silent, what was the use of his words?

He had just been beaten back by Zhu Qizhen, and he didn't want to anger Zhu Qizhen anymore.

This is also a manifestation of the lack of a core within the cabinet.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Since everyone agrees, this matter has been settled."

With this order, the first Wen Zhenggong of the Ming Dynasty was born.

When the word "Yang Wenzhenggong" came out, almost the whole court was in an uproar, and many people wrote letters to object. Yang Pu was really inconsistent with these two words.

Zhu Qizhen gathered these memorials together, and said in the morning court one day: "For Yang Pu's merits as a Fubi and his virtue in preaching, I am willing to treat Yang Pu as a teacher. The posthumous title of Wenzheng is not enough to express Yang Pu's virtue."

, From then on, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were not allowed to discuss this matter again."

As soon as this statement came out, it spread throughout the world within ten days.

For a time, Yang Pu's acquaintance with the current monarchs and ministers was written into the storybook. It is almost comparable to Han Zhaolie and Zhuge Wuhou. Especially when Yang Pu was named Wenzheng after his death, he was also buried in

The imperial mausoleum is a great honor for civil servants. Zhu Qizhen also ordered the establishment of an ancestral hall for Yang Pu at Shishou. All kinds of grace combined make people sigh at the emperor's kindness.

Zhu Qizhen's move not only promoted Yang Pu, but also promoted himself in disguise. Especially Zhu Qizhen put a lot of credit on Yang Pu, and even the reputation among the people, Yang Pu had a tendency to surpass Yang Shiqi.
