The titles of emperors are often associated with their reign titles, posthumous titles or temple titles. The founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan, and Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty were mostly called by their temple titles, while Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was called by his posthumous title and was also called by his most common title. a title.
In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, most people were called by their reign names. Whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang's Hongwu, Zhu Youjian's Chongzhen, Emperor Qianlong or Kangxi's Qianlong, they were all called by their reign names.
Before the Tang Dynasty, most people in the Sui Dynasty had posthumous titles, but in the Tang Dynasty, most people had temple names.
Emperor Yang is naturally a posthumous title, and according to the rules for posthumous titles, that is, after the death of the emperor, concubines, princes, officials, ministers, etc., the court will give a completely subjective judgment based on their deeds and moral conduct during their lifetime. Name, to judge a person.
From the initial system of the posthumous title of Duke of Zhou to the "Explanation of the posthumous title of Duke of Zhou" written by Konghuang of Jin Dynasty, generations of emperors, generals, princes, ministers, scholars and great sages worked for their reputation during their lifetimes.
And since there is a posthumous title, it is used to evaluate a person's life, either with one word or two words, but no matter what, as people rack their brains to find ways, the posthumous title also has good posthumous names, ordinary posthumous names, and bad posthumous names. There are three kinds of posthumous titles.
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was unfortunately or unexpectedly powerful, and even regarded the word Yang as a derogatory word when people saw it because of his relationship.
Li Hong stood outside the window, inexplicably thinking of what Hu Ji, a historian from the previous life, said: "At the historical juncture when China was transforming from aristocratism to imperial bureaucracy, and from a clan society to a post-clan society, Yu Wentai , Yu Wenyong, Yang Jian, Yang Guang, as well as Li Shimin and Wu Zetian, all made historic contributions. Among them, Emperor Yang of Sui and Wu Zetian were the ones who went the furthest in history. But it’s the one where most dirty water is thrown.”
Thinking of this, Li Hong was not surprised that Long Ma could look at the problem from Yang Guang's perspective and give Yang Guang a fair attitude.
As for his personal views on Yang Guang, Li Hong did not have any views. In terms of his own thoughts, existence is reasonable. In the development trajectory of history, whatever emperors and generals appear are all Reasonably, there is no need to argue about a dead person's merits and demerits.
Even if you want to characterize it, I am afraid that the character and behavior of any emperor in history are enough to write a thick book, not to mention, when people give him a posthumous title, who will stand in his perspective? It depends on the problem.
Feeling that her hand was being pulled forward by a small hand, and the thin thread in the other hand was no longer in her hand at some point, Huniu looked at the palace maid and eunuch not far away, holding the tray in her hand. The delicacies played the role of a robber very well, forcing the palace maids and eunuchs to gingerly offer the delicacies on the trays to the Tiger King.
Li Mei ignored whether Huniu's behavior was reasonable. Anyway, this was not the first time Huniu had robbed someone. The maids and eunuchs in the palace, including her little master, were already used to it.
Li Hong, who was being dragged forward by Li Mei's hand, coughed and then followed Li Mei inside. When he passed the open window, he could already hear his cough and appeared in an instant. Some hurried footsteps.
"Mei'er has met Grandma Huang." Li Mei obediently let go of Li Hong's hand, looked at Wu Mei and saluted.
When he originally named Li Mei, it was because of a thrush, so he didn't think too much about it. It wasn't until Wu Mei asked about it after choosing the name that Li Hong suddenly realized that the name seemed to conflict with Long Ma's.
So in order to avoid the similarity of the name with Wu Mei, Li Hong asked the officials of Zongzheng Temple to change Li Mei's name. But for some reason, Long Ma stopped the officials of Zongzheng Temple from changing her name, saying that looking at Li Mei's appearance, she looked quite attractive. It's a bit like my own childhood. In this case, I don't care whether the names are similar.
As a result, Xiao Li Mei's name was retained, which made Wu Mei look at her even more differently. Even compared to other Li Hong's children, Li Mei received more care in Wu Mei's eyes. Follow care.
This is also the reason why Wen Wen is sometimes free to Li Mei. Because the Empress Dowager's favor towards Li Mei makes Wen Wen have to balance Li Ye and Li Lan, so she has to deal with Li Mei who seems so laissez-faire on the surface. .
Naturally, it was also because of the support of the Empress Dowager behind Li Mei, and her mother who dreamed of being a heroine, that little Li Mei could lead a tiger in the palace and go wherever she wanted without anyone daring to do so. pursue.
Even if there was a court meeting in the Xuanzheng Hall in front of the Zichen Hall, Li Mei could still lead Huniu and run in unobstructed, then look at the courtiers with wide eyes, and then walk to Li Hong to look at Li Hong. , giggled and whispered a few words in the ear, and then swaggeringly led Huniu and left the Xuanzheng Hall.
During the whole process, not a single minister dared to speak, had any objections, or dared to tell His Majesty that this move was not in line with the etiquette of the court and His Majesty should stop it.
Because the first time Li Mei ran to the court and wanted to be intimate with her father, she was scolded by Li Hong and cried.
Li Mei, who left the Xuanzheng Hall, soon took Huniu and Wu Mei with a feather duster in hand and ran to the court hall of the Xuanzheng Hall to settle the score with the person who scolded her and cried.
As a result, under the stunned gazes of many courtiers and civil and military officials, Li Mei sat on the dragon chair with red eyes and tears. She pointed with her little hand and sat on the dragon chair. After seeing her grandfather and grandson, Li Mei's chin almost dropped to the floor. Hong said: "Grandma Huang, it was my father who scolded me and made me cry just now."
Li Mei's words were more effective than the imperial edict of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. After all, to Wu Mei, the imperial edict was no different than waste paper. But the granddaughter is different. Who knows that she is quite similar to her when she was a child.
So Wu Mei, who dotes on her granddaughter in a shameless way, doesn't care about how the civil and military officials view her as the empress dowager, or how Li Hong will end up in front of the civil and military officials after the matter is over. She points at Li Hong with a feather duster and rushes away. passed.
Suddenly, the main hall of Xuanzheng Hall was full of chaos and officials were circling around. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who had been sitting firmly on the dragon throne, was driven off the dragon throne with a feather duster and was hiding in embarrassment in the hall. It wasn't until Li Mei, who was holding Huniu, burst into laughter, and Wu Mei, who was panting, was satisfied that she dared to return to the dragon throne that only he, the emperor, could sit on.
"I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty!" Someone shouted angrily as he watched the two grandsons and grandsons leaving in high spirits.
"I am still the queen mother of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!" the Empress Dowager turned her head and stared at the emperor who was instantly stunned by lightning as he sat on the throne.
A helpless person, listening to these words, couldn't help but think of the voice of the father of the dragon, Li Zhi, who ran to the Xuanzheng Palace and shouted: "I am still the emperor!"
"Haha, what a difference but similar approach. No wonder they are husband and wife, and they say so domineeringly! I am still the emperor! I am also the queen mother of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!" Looking at the old man and the other, After the young master's back disappeared, someone sat on the dragon throne. He shook his head helplessly and said awkwardly: "I am the emperor... just like a grandson."
"Your Majesty, did you think of Emperor Taizong?" She Jinghui, the right servant of Shangshu Province, suddenly lost his mind. After Li Hong finished speaking, he suddenly said this sentence.
Then Jing Pushe was kicked out of the Xuanzheng Hall by the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, and he had no chance to participate in the second half of the court meeting. Therefore, after going to court, he found out that he had been deducted from his salary for half a year by the emperor.
As for the reason, there are seven characters: lack of discipline during court meetings.
"Disobeying the rules during the court meeting?" Jing Pushe seemed to be stunned. In Shangshu Province, he was stunned for a quarter of an hour because of these seven words. As for how to live in the next six months, his mind was in a state of confusion. I haven't figured out why.
Yan Lingbin has lost a lot of weight in the past two years, but in Li Hong's opinion, Princess Yan is not thin at all. Although it can't be seen on her face, it can be seen on her body. Even if she can't see it on her body, she can touch it. Come out.
So when Wu Mei told him in front of him to treat Yan Lingbin well. He had lost a lot of weight these days because of the story of "Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties" and asked Shangshi Bureau to send more good meals, Li Hong said He nodded absently.
Holding the book "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" compiled by Yan Lingbin, Wu Mei flipped through it and then rolled her eyes at Li Hong: "Li Xuanba, the second son of Emperor Gaozu, was renamed Li Yuanba by you. This makes him extremely powerful. He is kind. Is it more appropriate to make up the golden hammer? Mei'er, go to Penglai Pavilion with Grandma Huang."
"Novel, I've already said it's a romance, why should you take it seriously? Readers all know it's a novel, so don't worry about it." Li Hong didn't want to lose face in front of Li Mei anymore, even though he was the supreme official of the Tang Dynasty Palace, in the most important Xuanzheng Palace, the center of power in the Tang Dynasty, he, the father-emperor, has lost face in front of Li Mei, but now he still hopes to save some if he can.
After all, Li Mei is still young. What if she forgets all these things when she grows up, and the image of her tall and strict father will come back.
After sending away Wu Mei and Li Mei, Li Hong felt that Yan Lingbin's palace was his home court.
"Why are you here today when you are free?" Yan Lingbin asked, sitting next to Li Hong as he continued to flip through "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" that Wu Mei had annotated.
"The Queen asked me to come and see you, saying that I haven't been to your place for a long time." Li Hong put down the book, kissed Yan Lingbin's thin cheek, and continued: "Just change it according to the Queen's wishes, she is willing Let the characters in it be whatever they are.”
"Well, I have the same plan, so if I want to schedule the drama of "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", it will probably be next year." Yan Lingbin nodded obediently.
"As long as the queen is not in a hurry, the most important thing is to satisfy the queen." Li Hong put his arm around Yan Lingbin's shoulder, and his other hand was already beginning to be dishonest.
They have said that Yan Lingbin is thin, but his face looks thinner. You can tell by touching it, but he has not lost any flesh on his body, especially on his chest.
