The queen went out of the palace of nourishing the heart, got on the sedan chair, and returned to the palace slowly, the snow on the road has been swept clean, the weather is quite good today, the sun is warm and shining on people, lazy, the eunuchs who sprinkled and swept saw the queen's phoenix drive, and hurriedly turned around to let the queen go first, Mingcui saw the queen's face improved, "Niangniang is comfortable this time?" ”

"I don't know why, it's uncomfortable to smell the medicine," the queen laughed, "it's probably too stuffy inside." ”

"Yes, Long Live Lord can't see the wind, so it's covered tightly, fortunately, the Bodhisattva blesses, Long Live Lord's body is gradually getting better."

"I'm going to go to the incense to thank the gods," the queen nodded, "Where are there many Taoist priests in the Baohua Palace?" ”

"Yes, there are many Taoist priests who enter the palace to do things and do Jiao." Mingcui said, "It was presided over by the east, and the outside of the Lama Temple also did the rituals." If you can't reach the Heart Nourishing Palace, the emperor can't be annoyed. The little lords of each palace often go to pray and pray for blessings. ”

The queen nodded, "Then let's go and see when we go." When she was about to arrive at Gyeongbokgung Palace, the queen raised her eyes and saw an official in a supplementary uniform hurrying out of the Longzong Gate and trotting into Shoukang Palace. The rules in the palace are that unless there are special circumstances, you are not allowed to run, and the queen was a little surprised, "What's the matter?" ”

Ming Cui glanced at the little eunuch beside her, the little eunuch nodded, and quietly went to Shoukang Palace, the queen arrived at Jingren Palace, sat down, and couldn't help but be a little discouraged, all the affairs in the palace were left behind, and they were handed over to the Empress Dowager Ci'an to dispose of, plus the Empress Dowager Cixi continued to approve the folds In this way, although she can serve the emperor with peace of mind, after all, she has no authority in her hands, and now the palace concubines don't seem to be very respectful to herself, I hope this is just her own heart, hey. When is it, it's ridiculous to still think about these things, if the emperor is well, he has something to rely on, and he still cares about what these authorities do.

Outside the window, there is the faint sound of drumming. It was about the sound from the Baohua Palace, listen carefully, but it seemed that it was not heard, probably the sound of the north wind, the queen sat down slightly, raised her spirit, Mingcui came up to say that the things to pray for were ready, the queen got up, and the little eunuch who went to inquire about the news came back at this time. "Qi Yu Niangniang, Lord Zeng Guofan has passed away."

"What?" The queen was a little surprised, "This is a terrible thing! ”

The back of the imperial queen sank like water, looking at the report, Zeng Guofan was not in good health a few days ago, and for the emperor's illness, he reluctantly came back to cancel the sick leave, thinking that it was no big deal. I didn't expect to use ginseng soup just today, and I walked to the west flower garden in the afternoon. Suddenly numb feet, Zeng Jize helped back to the study, sat upright for three moments and died, thinking that his body was already well, but within a few days, he actually died of illness!

The ministers of military aircraft all arrived at Shoukang Palace. The Empress Dowager couldn't help crying, "Zeng Gong organized regimental exercises, quelled the Hongyang Rebellion, presided over the southeast military, and greatly promoted foreign affairs. It is the first minister of the Zhongxing Dynasty to turn the tide! However, the year is not eternal, today suddenly collapsed, it is really shocking at home and abroad, the palace remembered that the first emperor was there, he respected Zeng Guofan very much, and repeatedly suggested that Zeng Guofan should preside over the overall situation, although he did not see each other from time to time, but his talent, the first emperor was in the eyes, and now he died so suddenly, and did not leave a legacy, it is really heartache! ”

Prince Gong bowed slightly, "Please mourn the Queen Mother." ”

The monarchs and ministers are infinitely sad, Zeng Guofan is humble and not as swaggering as his brother, and is kind to others, although Prince Gong is also a little sad, but at this time, he can't help but talk about Zeng Guofan's posthumous affairs, "Zeng Guofan's posthumous affairs cannot be delayed, and an order needs to be made quickly." ”

"Now that you know, you must have some ideas, just say it." Empress Dowager Cixi wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said.

"The dynasty is wanted, is this law," playing Chen Zengguofan's compassionate code, mentioning the law, King Gong said: "Zeng Guofan's old man became a country, not the slightest selfishness, should be loyal; The chaos is in the community, and it should be punished; Advocating positive learning, pure conduct, should be decent; However, the ministers and a few others all felt that these three words, and that one was not enough to fulfill Zeng's life. Whether to ask the queen mother to give a special favor, the ministers dare not act rashly. ”

In fact, this is the special "Wenzheng", but it must be so knocking on the side of the wording, the Queen Mother understands what he means, the Qing Dynasty's nickname "Wenzheng" is the highest, "Wenzhong" is second, "Wengong" again, the following is "Wencheng", "Wenduan", "Wenke", "Wenxiang" and the like. When the Military Aircraft Department gives the minister the title of "Wen Zhong", "Wen Zheng" can only be called "Wen Zhong", and "Wen Zheng" can only be given the grace of the king.

Sima Guang said: "The text is extremely beautiful, and it cannot be added. Therefore, Wen is an extremely high nickname: Wen refers to the heavens and latitudes, moral knowledge, and refers to internal and external guest clothes. Since ancient times, only virtuous and famous ministers have been given this nickname after death. For example, Fan Zhongyan in the Song Dynasty was also Wenzheng. During the Qing Dynasty, another important minister, Liu Tongxun, that is, Liu Luoguo's father, was also known as Wenzheng.

"Zeng Guofan's people, but he can be honest!" The Empress Dowager Cixi understood, "It's worthy of a straight word!" It can be an example for the country. ”

"Yes!" King Gong also said, "How to add grace to the descendants of Zeng Mou, wait until the report is investigated, and then make a request." ”

"It's not busy, and besides, in addition to the law, what about this mourning?"

"The ministers think that the second-class public will enter the first-class public."

The titles of the Qing Dynasty were divided into three systems: clan titles, titles of meritorious persons with different surnames, and Mongolian titles. The Qing Dynasty still implemented the system of princes and princes, and also according to the system of the Jin Dynasty's Zongwang official Yu Jingshi. The vassal king does not belong to the domain, and there is no land. Qing Dynasty titles are divided into clan titles, titles of meritorious heroes with different surnames, and Mongolian titles. The clan titles are divided into 12 ranks, each with a number of ranks. The twelfth class can be roughly divided into super products and grades: super products: princes, county kings, Baylors, Beizi, dukes, and generals. Mongolian titles are generally based on the example of clan titles, while retaining the original Mongolian titles, and sometimes the hereditary succession of Khan is still established above the prince.

Of course, the title of meritorious hero with a different surname is awarded to a meritorious person with a different surname. Males, marquises, uncles, sons, and males are part of it. The prince is divided into three classes, Zeng Guofan is the second class, and Zuo Zongtang is the first class duke, the head of the Han Chen.

"This is too simple, in terms of merit, Zeng Guofan said, it is not an exaggeration to recreate the world," the Empress Dowager Cixi said, "If there is no regimental training of Zeng Guofan, I am afraid that it is now the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and there is a prosperous scene of China's mixed and unified unification, setting up foreign affairs, and greatly revitalizing all industries in the southeast." Wenzhi and martial arts are all excellent, if Zeng Guofan is still there, he should be able to enter the first-class public after the New Year, how to calculate the posthumous glory?
