Chapter 152 The Scholars, Governors, and First Rank Scholars Behind Closed Doors
Concubine Wan guessed very accurately. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The next day, the date of the enthronement ceremony was officially announced - just three days after the expiration of the "national funeral".
Counting the days, the Queen Mother of the Virgin Mary for Emperor Wen Zongxian's "retreat and prayer" for a year, seeing that it is also coming, after the enthronement ceremony, the Queen Mother of the Virgin Mary should return to Beijing from Tianjin, great joy, one after another.
Of course, the so-called "great joy", some people are happy about it, and some people are not happy about it, so I don't talk about it.
Today's enthronement ceremony, delayed again and again, and finally dragged to the end of the "national funeral" period, the head on the table is that Emperor Mu Zongyi abandoned the world, and now the sisters and brothers are deeply affectionate, and the grief is too much, and they can't bear to celebrate auspicious things during the "national funeral"; And the real reason, most people think that this is the case: the "top" does not want to get involved in Muzong's bad luck.
If the enthronement ceremony is held during the "national funeral", not to mention anything else, sitting on the throne of the Taihe Palace, looking around, not only in the Taihe Palace, everyone is dressed in filial piety clothes, but outside the Taihe Palace, from His Majesty to the square, it is also a white expanse - hum, is it a happy event, or a funeral?
Originally, even if it was a funeral and a happy event, it was not a big deal, but Mu Zong's Bintian not only collapsed early, but the cause of death was too paradoxical, and the bad luck of this funeral was too heavy, so if you don't mess with it, don't mess with it.
However, it is not a common practice to delay the enthronement ceremony until the expiration of the "national mourning" period.
Although there is no direct relationship between the enthronement ceremony and the legitimacy of the new emperor, it is the last and most important ceremony for the new monarch's practice. Therefore, as long as the situation allows, the new emperor will hold an enthronement ceremony as soon as possible, even if he wants to see that "the white land is really clean", he has to endure it.
Take Muzong as an example, he was "enthroned in front of the coffin" in Rehe, and the enthronement ceremony was held after returning to Beijing from Rehe, which was considered to have dragged on for a long time, but it was still during the "national funeral".
If the time between the announcement of the new monarch's succession edict and the holding of the enthronement ceremony is too long, the biggest possibility is that the controversy over the succession of the new monarch is relatively large, and for the sake of safety, before the enthronement ceremony is held, we must first do all kinds of coercion and temptation, so that the enthronement ceremony cannot but be delayed.
Therefore, some people think so: Today, there is no female heir to inherit the heir, which has not been seen since ancient times, and of course it belongs to the "more controversial" ones, and the "top" is busy combing through the dissidents and the enthronement ceremony, so they have to put it back first.
No matter for what reason, it will be delayed until the expiration of the "national mourning", it is a thing of the past, and the enthronement ceremony of Emperor Hongxu will be held.
The enthronement ceremony is the most eye-catching thing in the government and the opposition, the temple and the temple, everything related to the enthronement ceremony, can "rub the heat", the "headline", has to be regarded as the scholar of Wenhua Palace, the governor of Zhili Zeng Guofan into Beijing to see His Majesty.
Zeng Guofan's main purpose in Beijing this time is not to report on his work, nor is it to "observe the ceremony" - the officials of the feudal territory have the responsibility to guard the territory, and they are not allowed to leave the jurisdiction unless they are ordered, no matter what celebrations there are in Beijing, no matter how lively the celebration is, for them, there is no such thing as "watching the ceremony".
Zeng Guofan was sent to "read the text" at the enthronement ceremony.
Under normal circumstances, there are only two kinds of people who have this qualification, one is the highest status of the noble, and the other is the chief scholar of the palace - Zeng Guofan is a scholar of the Wenhua Palace, and he is the first of the scholars of the palace.
"The highest status of the noble", a total of two, one pretending to be "self-modest", or "avoiding suspicion", refused to do this errand; The other is the real "avoidance of suspicion" - I am already an idle cloud and a wild crane, why do you still come to me for this kind of thing, isn't it embarrassing?
As a result, the messenger who was the first in the enthronement ceremony fell on the head of Zeng Guofan.
In fact, Zeng Guofan was full of blame, often jealous, and did not want to be in the limelight, and because of some special reasons, he really did not want to enter Beijing at this time. However, he could not find a reason to resign; In addition, Baoding, the governor of Zhili, is stationed in Baoding, which is very close to Beijing, and the journey is not a "rush", and it is not good to talk about his old illness, so he had no choice but to enter Beijing by edict.
Zeng Guofan's identity is multiple, and each of them has reached the peak of the people's ministers: the scholar of Wenhuadian is the head of the world's scholars, the governor of Zhili is the head of the world's Xinjiang ministers, and the first-class Yiyong Marquis is the head of the world's lords - except for relatives and nobles, no one's title can compare with him.
Such a meritorious and famous minister of the Three Dynasties, even if he simply reports his Majesty's views, it is very eye-catching, not to mention, Zeng Disheng is also the "declaration official" of the enthronement ceremony, and the only heavyweight "foreign minister" who appeared at the enthronement ceremony?
Zeng Guofan arrived in Beijing on the last day of the "national funeral", and as soon as he entered the city, he first went to the palace gate to hand over the Anzhi fold, kowtowed and saluted - he saluted twice, once as "please be safe", and once as "Confession".
Back at Xianliang Temple, which is a mansion, people have not yet sat down, and the water has not yet been drunk, and the posts asking for advice have followed.
However, Zeng Guofan instructed that no matter who the visitor was, he would all block the way.
The door turned over and over, and there were only a few words, "The lord has explained, the king's order is with him, and he doesn't dare to be sideways, no matter what he has to say, please wait until after the enthronement ceremony." ā
Zeng Guo's disciples are all over the world, although there are many other provinces, there are also many in Beijing, and among the visitors, there are also many of his students, so he said, "There is nothing special, just kowtow for the teacher, please be safe - the teacher has been a horse for many years, and now he is tall in the spring and autumn, I don't know how his body and bones are?" Take a look at it and put it at ease. ā
The skin on the door didn't smile, "The body of the knight is like that, it won't get better if you look at it, and it won't get worse if you don't look at it-adults have a heart." ā
The people who came had to leave in a hurry.
Among the guests, there are several Liangjiang - Jiangsu, Anhui origins, said that the two rivers benefited from the middle hall deeply, entrusted by the gentry of the township, came to greet the living.
In this case, the tone on the door was not very polite, "If it is the gentry of Zhili, if the gentry of Zhili have something to ask, after the enthronement ceremony, it may not be able to be seen, but what is the matter with the Liangjiang Guanjue?" My lord, please go back, even after the enthronement ceremony, you don't have to work anymore - the prime minister will not meet. ā
Then, regardless of whether the people's faces could be hung or not, they turned around and entered and closed the door.
This nose is dusty......
Zeng Guofan's resolute attitude of closing the door to greet customers was rather abnormal, and it caused a lot of discussion in the officialdom.
Some people say that Zeng Disheng adheres to the old rule of not visiting and not entertaining guests before His Majesty's meeting.
In the early years, when the provincial officials entered Beijing to see His Majesty, there was indeed a rule of not visiting or entertaining guests before His Majesty's meeting, but although this rule was not explicitly canceled, in fact, it had long been abolished.
The first person to oppose this rule was Guan Beizi back then, and now Prince Xuan.
Prince Xuan thought that after the provincial officials arrived in the port, when His Majesty saw him, he often couldn't make a decision immediately, so he decided immediately, and His Majesty's meeting was a few days later; The road is far away, the traffic is inconvenient, it is not easy for the provincial officials to enter Beijing once, and it is not easy to last much time in Beijing, if you stick to the old rules of not visiting and not entertaining guests before your majesty's meeting, these days, even if it is wasted in vain, it is a pity to be public and private.
Therefore, if Zeng Guofan sees a guest, no one can say that he is "overdistance", in fact, the reason why Zeng Guofan thanked the guest is also a vague "king's order", not the old rule of not visiting and not treating guests before His Majesty saw him.
Also, if you don't see it, you won't see it, if you are on the door, why are you so caught with guns and sticks, so that people can't get off the stage?
Zeng Disheng is not only a humble gentleman, but also has always been worried and fearful, how could he do such a senseless thing to offend people?
This...... It's not what he's always done!
So, some people said that on the door of Xianliang Temple, it is naturally Goshha who was born by Zeng Disheng, who was born in the military, was rude and unliterate, and did not understand the rules.
This statement is not convincing, Zeng Disheng's Goshha "doesn't understand the rules", and there is no Goshha in the world who "understands the rules".
Also, on the door of Xianliang Temple, although the words spoken are not polite, but when it comes to talking, it seems that they can't lean on the "rude and unliterate".
Anyway, it's weird.
On the "hot search list" related to the enthronement ceremony, Zeng Disheng's entry into Beijing and his abnormalities ranked first; In second place, there is such a news: this time the enthronement ceremony, the ministers of Taixi countries in Beijing, will enter the Forbidden City to watch the ceremony, and then will meet today to congratulate in person.
This is something that has never happened before!
