Summoning the world to be one

Chapter 549 Drafting a Reward
5 Chapter Fifty: Proposed Reward

In Jingtai Hall, Chen Qun was reporting to Deng Sheng about the preparations for the ceremony, and said: "In addition, the Ministry of Rites has drawn up several year names for the king to choose from!" Gave it to Deng Sheng.

Deng Sheng took the booklet and opened it. The Ministry of Rites has proposed a total of three year names, namely Kaiyuan, Wude, and Tiantong. Among them, Kaiyuan appeared in front of Deng Sheng more than 20 years ago, but it was not selected more than 20 years ago. , Deng Sheng will not choose this time either.

After wandering between Wude and Tiantong for a long time, Deng Sheng finally chose Tiantong, without him, the meaning is very good, Tiantong, the unification of the world, isn't this exactly his goal when he came to this world ?
"Let's decide the Tiantong!" Deng Sheng said.

"Here!" Chen Qun replied, and after one matter was settled, Chen Qun came up with another matter and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers all agree that when posthumous posthumous posthumous titles are given to the past kings, it may be difficult to commend the achievements of the previous kings by posthumous titles alone. Therefore, the ministers thought that the temple name of the Shang Dynasty could be restored, and the temple name could be added to the former king who had both merit and virtue."

The name of the temple originated in the Shang Dynasty. According to the ancient system, the emperor enshrined seven temples, which are the Temple of Taizu and Sanzhao Sanmu. Except for the temple of Taizu, Sanzhao and Sanmu are often changed according to the distance, so In order to allow some kings with both merit and virtue to be sacrificed forever, the rulers will give them temple names, but the temple names were abolished as soon as they mentioned the Qin Dynasty, and they were abolished together with the posthumous titles. It was inappropriate for fathers and ministers to discuss the monarch. After the Qin Dynasty collapsed and the kingdoms merged, the posthumous title was restored, but the temple title was not restored.

"Then I don't know which of the former kings the Ministry of Rites proposed to add temple names to?" Deng Sheng asked.

Chen Qun replied, "Back to the Great King, King Xuan is the founding king of Deng, he should be the ancestor, and King An collected the mediocre land for Deng, and the merit lies in the country. , but also a promising king, these three former kings became temple names."

King Xuan is the founding king of the Deng Kingdom. There must be some. King An is the son of King Xuan. When he was in power, he collected the nine counties of Shangyong to expand the territory. It also makes sense, and King Wuzhuang, that is, Deng Sheng's father, made great efforts in martial arts during his reign, defeated his old enemy Jing Guo, and almost destroyed South Korea. Although he failed in the end, it almost led to the demise of Deng Guo, but I have to deny that, King Wuzhuang is also a promising king, while most of the other dozen or so former kings are the generation who keep their own place, it doesn't matter whether they are superior or not.

"King An opened up the border and expanded the land, which can be regarded as the successor, and the king of Wuzhuang strengthened the army and enriched the country, and then failed. However, the achievements are considered among the best among the previous kings, so they can be regarded as the Xianzong!" Chen Qun said.

These two temple names can be regarded as pertinent, so Deng Sheng nodded and said: "Just follow the rules drawn up by the Ministry of Rites. In addition, I plan to build a Lingxiao Pavilion in the center of Wancheng to commend the establishment of my great Deng. Heroes of immortal meritorious service, I have selected the first batch of candidates for the High Heaven Pavilion, a total of 28 people!" After finishing speaking, he asked Gui Xiang to hand a piece of cloth to Chen Qun.

Chen Qun opened it and saw that among the 28 people, there were four of Deng Sheng's five major assistant ministers at the beginning of Deng Sheng's accession to the throne, namely the late prime minister Cai Feng, the late general Huang Biao, the late chariot general Li Tianhu, the late Zhongshu Ling Deng Yong, Fang Hanchen was originally one of the five assistant ministers, but he participated in the Deng Ju Rebellion in the past, his family was ransacked and his family was wiped out, leaving only four.

Moreover, Deng Sheng of these four people will pursue the posthumous titles after ascending to the pole. Cai Feng will posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously titled Cai Guogong, Huang Biao posthumously posthumously named Dingguogong, Li Tianhu posthumously named Rongguogong, and Deng Yong is a royal family posthumously posthumously named Jiangxia County King.

The remaining 24 people are all ministers who have made great contributions during the rise of Deng Sheng since Deng Sheng ascended the throne. There are 12 civil and military ministers each. In the cloth, Deng Sheng will also list the titles bestowed one by one.

Cui Hao, the first Zhongshu Ling of civil servants, was granted the title of Song Guogong, the second was the late Jing Guogong, Su Hong, Minister of the Ministry of War, Jiang Wan, the third Shangshu Ling, was granted the title of Han Guogong, and the fourth was named Zhang Bin, Xiang Guogong, Cheng Yu, the fifth former military division general of the Military Aircraft Department, was granted the title of Duke of Shu, Hu Weiyong, the sixth Minister of the Household Department, Duke of Wuling County, the seventh leader of Mingjing Yao Guangxiao, Duke of Shangyong County, and Kou Zhun, the eighth Minister of the Ministry of Officials Bao Zheng, Duke of Danyang County and the ninth official censor of Yushitai, Fan Zhongyan, Duke of Lujiang County and tenth Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, Duke of Changsha County, No. 11 Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, Chen Qun, Duke of Yingchuan County, No. 12 General Zhu Sheng of the Military Aircraft Division was granted the title of Duke of Hanzhong.

The first military general, Yue Fei, the general of the Dudufu, was granted the title of Wu Guogong, the second was named Chen Guogong, and the third was named Yang Yanzhao, the Hussar General of the Dudufu, and he was granted the title of Lu Guogong. Deng Ai, the fourth general of the Habayashi Guard, Xue Rengui, the king of Runan County, the fifth general of the Yingyang Guard, Li Siye, the Duke of England, the sixth General of the Tiger Wing Guard, Li Siye, the Duke of Tang, the seventh Ling Murong Ke, General of the Snake Guard, was granted the title of Duke of Jiujiang, the eighth General of Jinwu Guard Deng Qiang, King of Guiyang County, the ninth General of Longwu Guard Li Xiucheng, Duke of Guangling, the tenth of Long Xiangwei General Qin Lie was named Nanhai County Duke, No.11 Flying Tiger General Li Cunxiao, Yuzhang County Duke, No.12 Tianningwei General Zhang Fei, and Chenliu County Duke.

In fact, there are still many people who are eligible to enter the Lingxiao Pavilion, but Deng Sheng didn't want to be so flooded for the first time. He just selected 24 people from them, and most of them were veterans. Because Deng and Qiang belonged to the clan, they were directly awarded the title of county king.

"This list doesn't care about the position, but only about merit. If there are people who make great achievements in the future, they can also go to the High Heaven Pavilion, so that they can leave a name in history and be admired by all people!" Deng Sheng said.

"Your Majesty, as soon as the Ling Xiao Pavilion comes out, I, Da Deng Wenwu, will definitely be loyal to Da Deng, devote myself to death, and die!" Chen Qun said excitedly holding the list, as the saying goes, learn literary and martial arts, sell to the emperor's family, and be a minister. Those who don't want to leave a name in history and be admired by all people?

Deng Sheng smiled and said: "You all got this by your own ability, and what I can do is just rewarding meritorious deeds, so that you can let the ministers know that everything you have done for Deng is worthless. He and the common people all saw it in their eyes and kept it in their hearts. After Chen Qing went down, he went to the Zhongshuling to ask Cui Qing to draft an order, and after the ceremony, it was distributed."

"Here!" Chen Qun replied.

After discussing some details, Chen Qun left Jingtai Hall.

After Chen Qun left, Deng Sheng wrote a new reward in a decree, but this time it was about the descendants of the royal family and the concubines in the harem.

Among them, the prince Deng Hao was promoted to the crown prince, the second son Deng Han was named the king of Jin, the third son Deng Yu was named the king of Wei, the fourth son Deng Zun was named the king of Qi, the fifth son Deng Fu was named the king of Chu, and the eldest daughter Deng Qian was named Nanyang Chang. The princess, the eldest grandson Deng Huan was named King of Wei, the second grandson Deng Song (Deng Hao's second son) was named King of Changping County, Deng Han's eldest son Deng Quan was named King of Yong'an County, and Deng Yu's eldest son Deng Zhi was named King of Yongning County.

For concubines in the harem, Deng Sheng established a system of one queen and four concubines, namely the queen, the four concubines who are virtuous and virtuous, the queen Cai Yan was promoted to the queen, Li Shishi was the virtuous concubine, Xue Baochai was the good concubine, Deng Han's mother Mi was the concubine Shu, Deng Yuzhi Mother Li is a concubine of virtue, and in Deng Sheng's harem, there are only five concubines with names and surnames, which is just right.

After handling the affairs, Deng Sheng came to Kunning Palace. Cai Yan was very surprised to see Deng Sheng coming, because since the Central Plains War started, Deng Sheng handed over the government affairs to Deng Hao, and after he lived in Jingtai Palace, he I rarely come to Kunning Palace.

"Why is the king here?" Cai Yan asked.

Deng Sheng looked at Cai Yan in front of him. The two had gone through ups and downs for [-] years. Now Cai Yan is nearly half a hundred years old, and she is no longer as stunning as before, but she is a little more graceful and luxurious.

"After the widow has finished dealing with today's affairs, I have nothing to do, so I will come to see the queen. You don't have to be busy, just sit down and talk to the widow." Deng Sheng said with a smile, and then sat down.

Cai Yan sat beside Deng Sheng, and Deng Sheng asked Cai Yan, "Yan'er, how long have you been in the palace?"

Cai Yan replied: "Your Majesty, it has been 28 years since the ministers and concubines entered the palace in the first year of Qianyuan."

"Yes, 28 years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the widow is also old!" Deng Sheng said with emotion.

"Your Majesty is not old, your Majesty is still in the prime of his life, and he is about to ascend to the Great Ceremony. In the future, Your Majesty will be the rightful Son of Heaven." Ever since the news that Deng Sheng was about to become emperor came out, Cai Yan was happier than anyone else. As Deng Sheng's first wife, Deng Sheng's hardships in the past few decades, she knows better than anyone else. From the difficult survival at the beginning of his ascension to the current hegemony, Deng Sheng has paid too much, and now he has finally ascended to the supreme throne.

The husband and wife whispered for a while, and the day passed like this.

The affairs of the ascension ceremony are handled by the ministers, Deng Sheng has nothing to worry about, he just needs to wait quietly.

In the 28th year of Qianyuan, on the first day of February, the day before the ceremony of ascension to the Great Ceremony, Deng Sheng led the clan ministers to the Taimiao to worship. After Cui Hao read the sacrificial words, Deng Sheng held a stick of incense and came to the ancestors of the Deng Kingdom. in front of the tablet.

Looking at the [-] spiritual positions in his eyes, Deng Sheng murmured: "My ancestors and ancestors, today Deng Sheng led all the civil and military officials to pay homage, and I want to tell you that I am going to be the emperor. Unexpectedly, I am afraid." You have never thought that Great Deng will become the most powerful country in the world and look down on the world, but I can tell you that Great Deng will become even stronger in the future, you can rest assured that Great Deng is still here, and will be here in the future!" After finishing speaking, Deng Sheng took a step back.

Cui Hao walked to Deng Sheng's side and said, "Your Majesty, the governors and prefects from all over the country have arrived in Wancheng, waiting for your Majesty to summon you!"

Deng Sheng nodded, and said: "It's passed to Jingtai Palace, and I just want to know about the development of various places!" We all have to see each other.

"Here!" Cui Hao responded.

After the worship, Deng Sheng left the Ancestral Temple, returned to the Jingtai Hall, and summoned the governors and prefects from all over the place to learn about the situation in each place, and then waited quietly for the enthronement ceremony the next day.
