Chapter 1279: New Emperor Li Yin
Chapter 1279 New Emperor Li Yin
In the province, in the Political Affairs Hall.
Qin Lang came in with a teacup, and all the ministers also arrived, closing their eyes and resting their minds, drinking tea and chatting.
It's easy for the regular officials to quit court these days, and they don't have to get up early, but for the prime ministers, it's not easy for a moment. Every night at least three prime ministers had to be on duty, and the rest of the people also stayed overnight in the palace province, and could not return home.
Seeing him coming in, Xu Jingzong handed him a brochure directly.
Qin Lang opened it and glanced at it, but it was the title of bachelor given by the emperor to the prime ministers.
The word bachelor actually appeared as early as the Zhou Dynasty. It first referred to the noble children who were able to study at that time. Officialization generally refers to officials who entered the court as officials through certain skills.
In the Tang Dynasty, scholars usually refer to learned officials, but in Zhenguan, the imperial court also began to systematically standardize scholars.
From the Eighteen Scholars in the Scholars Hall of King Qin’s Mansion to the various halls, halls, and pavilions set up successively by the imperial court, the establishment of bachelors with different titles has been very standardized.
By the late Zhenguan period, the Grand Scholars had already belonged to the title of the prime minister, and all the prime ministers had the post of a museum.
"Congratulations to Saburo, who is a bachelor of Hongwenkan and also majored in national history." Xu Jingzong laughed.
Qin Lang only looked calm. The Grand Master of Hongwenguan belongs to the title of prime minister in the system of halls and pavilions established in the later period of Zhenguan.
In the official system of the imperial court established in the late Zhenguan period, the party who entered the Zhengshitang was called the prime minister, and entered the Zhengshitang with the titles of Tongping Zhangshi, Tongzhongshu Menxia Sanpin, and Participating in Political Affairs. It was no longer limited to Zuopushe, Zhongshuling, These three high-ranking officials are serving.
Those who enter the Zhengshitang with the rank of the third rank under Tongzhongshumen are not the three high-ranking officials and are also prime ministers. Later, all the prime ministers also added bachelor's titles, and this set of bachelor's titles also has high and low points.
For example, the bachelor of the hall is higher than the bachelor of the palace, and the bachelor of the hall is higher than the bachelor of the pavilion.
Hongwenguan, Chongwenguan and Jixianguan plus a history museum, Hongwenguan is located in Menxia Province, in charge of proofreading and editing books, and teaching students, such as the royal family and the children of high-ranking Beijing officials. However, the Grand Bachelor of the Hongwen Museum is not actually in charge of the affairs of the library, but only a title.
Under normal circumstances, it is the Zhongshuling plus the Hongwenguan University Bachelor, but now in the Zhengshitang, there are two Zhongshulings, Qin Lang’s Zhongshuling, Xu Jingzong’s Zhongshuling, but Qin Lang also has a grand teacher , Zhizhong Shumen and other provincial affairs titles, so Qin Langfang is the prime minister.
It is only natural for the crown prince to award Qin Langhong a Bachelor of Literature this time. As for the concurrent study of national history, it is actually equivalent to being a Bachelor of History, but the History Museum is generally not called a bachelor, but a concurrent study of national history.
Xu Jingzong handed over another brochure.
But Qin Lang's title in the Zhengshitang has also changed, it is no longer a matter of peace under Tong Zhongshu's family, but a state matter of peace with the army.
Generally, one enters the Zhengshitang as a chancellor, with titles of Tong Zhongshu's sect of Pingzhang Shi, or Tong Zhongshu's sect of three ranks, and some of them enter the capital hall with titles of special codes and secrets, participation in political affairs, etc.
And now that the new emperor gave Qin Lang such a special new title, it was obvious that he showed special honor and favor to the elder who served as the auxiliary government and Gu Ming.
It is a kind of honor to not be famous with praise, not to go to court, and to go to the palace with swords.
"Elder grandson is a bachelor of Chongxianguan and also majored in national history, and he also has the title of state affairs of Pingzhang army." Xu Jingzong said again.
Qin Lang nodded, that's for sure, Changsun Wuji is also Minister Gu Ming after all.
"The British public is a bachelor of Jixianguan, and then Tong Pingzhang's military affairs are added."
Li Ji did not add the title of concurrently studying the History Museum, and his title of entering the Political Affairs Hall is also different. It is the same as Pingzhang Military and State Important Affairs. There are two more words, one with the same important. There are some subtle differences, adding the same word, it seems that Zhang Fei said that I also mean the same in Taoyuan Three Knots.
It is obviously a deliberate distinction. A heavy word seems to be more important. In fact, if it is a fine product, Pingzhang military and state affairs undoubtedly care about military and state affairs, but military and state affairs seem to only care about big things and ignore small things. Instead, power is limited.
And the addition of a minor in national history makes the difference even more apparent.
The three elders of Gu Ming established their first relationship through the addition of titles. Qin Lang is now the real prime minister, the eldest grandson Wuji is the second prime minister, and Li Ji is the second.
"It's just a one hundred and twenty guan salary per month." Qin Lang chuckled.
In addition to indicating the order of prime ministers, the addition of bachelor titles also has some real benefits. The most important thing is to reflect the post money. Now that the Tang Dynasty has rich finances, officials, especially senior officials, are treated very well. The prime ministers are high-ranking officials and generous , In addition to receiving the salary according to this product, the salary is also paid according to the position you work in. If you have a part-time job, you can get another one.
Guandiange Bachelor, the highest Hongwenguan University Bachelor, the salary is 100 guan per month, if you add a part-time study of national history, add 20 guan.
Chongwenguan is Jiushiguan, and Jixianguan is 80guan.
As for the Grand Scholars of the three halls of Guanwen Hall, Duanming Hall, and Xuanhe Hall, there are 70 guan, 60 guan, and 50 guan.
The Lingyan Pavilion, East Pavilion, and West Pavilion are the three pavilions for the undergraduates, with forty strokes, thirty strokes and twenty strokes.
It is also the title of the prime minister, and there is a big difference between the lower-ranked Pavilion Bachelor and the Biguan Bachelor.
As for the academicians of the Hanlin Academy, because they hold the power of internal control and serve the emperor, they are not included in this pavilion system. The salary for the academicians of the Imperial Academy is 80 guan.

"All the princes are here, let's start the discussion."
Qin Lang didn't care about hundreds of dollars at all, so he didn't take this little matter to heart.
Coughed and began to chair the meeting.
The original practice of the political affairs hall is to take turns to hold the political affairs pen. Whoever takes the rotation of the political affairs pen will preside over the meeting of the political affairs hall. The auxiliary Qin Lang is in charge, so he also presides over the meeting of the Political Affairs Hall.
With a political pen in hand, it is equivalent to being a seal official, and the position of chief assistant is more certain.
"Yesterday I went to the palace to meet the saint. The saint is still very satisfied with the affairs of the political affairs hall. However, the saint has some opinions on the posthumous title and temple name of the emperor Daxing discussed in the hall yesterday. After discussing with the saint, I will report the situation now. To you gentlemen."
The other seven ministers were all surprised when they heard that Qin Lang and the emperor were going to change the posthumous title of the new emperor to Wenwu Shenghuang and the temple name to Shengzu.
As for the posthumous posthumous posthumous title given to Emperor Gaozu, Emperor Yaoxiao, and the honoring of Emperor Jing Li Hu as the Taizu, the Taimiao is full of seven chambers, which is nothing.
"Emperor Wen and Emperor Taizong are not good?"
Chu Suiliang was extremely dissatisfied with Qin Lang's behavior of discussing it in class, but then turned around and changed it privately with the emperor. Even if you are the chief assistant, you can't do this. Then you and the emperor will directly make an agreement in private, and then let everyone know, why bother discussing it for a long time?
"The meaning of a sage, the posthumous posthumous title of Emperor Wen is not enough to reflect the martial arts of the Daxing Emperor. The first emperor raised troops at the age of sixteen and fought in the east and west. Half of the Tang Dynasty was defeated by the first emperor himself. What's more During the Zhenguan Dynasty, our Great Tang opened up thousands of miles of territory, and this feat is as far ahead as Qin Huang, Han Wu, and one word is certainly not enough to express the merits of the former emperor."
Ancestor has pioneering work, and Li Shimin's contribution to the Tang Dynasty is even stronger than Li Yuan, and of course it deserves the word ancestor.
He is also eligible to enjoy it in the Taimiao for generations, and will not have to move out in the future.
Xu Jingzong immediately expressed his opinion, "The sage is benevolent, filial and just, which we did not consider before. I agree with Qin Xiang and the sage's new posthumous title and temple name, which is feasible."
Although Changsun Wuji frowned, feeling that Qin Lang really didn't respect the officials of the Zhengshitang for this matter, and that he didn't communicate with himself in advance for such a big event, he finally nodded and agreed to change his posthumous name and temple name.
Qin Lang said to Chu Suiliang, "The Zhengshitang also follows procedures. After discussing the posthumous and temple names, it is reported to the saint. The saint has objections. This is also a normal procedure. Does Mr. Chu think that the Zhengshitang can override the saint?"
This big hat was put on, and Chu Suiliang immediately gave up.
Although the court meeting is currently suspended and the emperor is temporarily ignoring the council, it does not mean that the political affairs hall can override the emperor. The political affairs hall is only the center of the emperor's governance.
"One more thing."
"About changing the year name to Yuan next year, the sage himself has one. Let's discuss whether it is appropriate today."
The emperor chose a year name for himself, Kaiyuan.
Zuo Pu shot Cui Dunli's famous disciples, but suddenly thought of the source, "Han Shu, Li Xun Chuan, Han Xun has been established for two hundred years, and the emperor descended to the right of the emperor in the history of Kaiyuan. The words are really good!"
Qin Lang felt that Chengqian used the word Kaiyuan as the year name, maybe it was just because Kaiyuan was used when casting Tongbao coins in the fourth year of Wude. It is the word that people see the most, who doesn't like Kaiyuan.
Selecting the year name is not only a beautiful name, but also cannot be used by previous dynasties. The word Kaiyuan has a wide range of popular foundations, and has never been used by predecessors. It even sounds more fluent than Zhenguan.
"The sage and I also talked about some things last night. For example, when the first emperor was in power, in order not to disturb the people, it was stipulated that as long as the word "Shimin" was not used together, there is no need to avoid changing it. But now the emperor's dragon controls Bintian, and the sage It is proposed that it should be taboo for the first emperor, and it should also be taboo for later generations and people to use alone."
Regarding Li Shimin's taboo about avoiding the sacred, although the common people took the initiative to avoid the taboo before, the court did not force it. For example, Li Shiji changed the taboo to Li Ji, and Pei Shiju changed his name to Pei Ju, but there were also people who did not avoid the taboo, such as Yu Shinan, a great calligrapher and secretary supervisor. , lived to be more than eighty years old, and did not avoid it.
The change of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the imperial court to the Ministry of Household Affairs was avoided.
Even candidates for the imperial examinations pay attention to avoiding taboos, changing folk customs into adult customs, and even Buddhist Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva avoids taboos and calls them Guanyin.
However, when Li Shimin was around, he was not forced to avoid taboos, and it didn’t matter if he didn’t avoid them, but now Chengqian said that he must avoid holy taboos in the future, and those who violated taboos should be punished. Officials who mistakenly violate imperial names and temple taboos will be given sticks. Those who make mistakes in Yu Wenshu will be punished... If they violate the holy taboo in the imperial examination, they will not be admitted...
The punishment is still very serious and must be avoided.
At the same time, it is reiterated that not only should one avoid holy taboos, but one should also avoid family taboos, even the names of one's own fathers and ancestors, and the names of sages such as Confucius should also be avoided.
For this reason, the emperor also specially asked Qin Lang to lead the talk in the Zhengshitang, and asked the prime ministers to choose a new name for him, requiring only one word, and relatively uncommon, so as not to affect the people.
The emperor wanted to change his name, and felt that if the word Chengqian was taboo, it would affect the people more.
Everyone looked at each other in dismay, what should I change my name to?
The first emperor was called Li Shimin, didn't he change his name?
But since the emperor requested it, everyone has to do it.
Everyone has already seen each other, some suggested calling it Yan, some suggested calling it Yan, and some suggested calling it Dan.
"Qin Xianggong, do you want to mention one too?"
Chu Suiliang mentioned the word Ji, and then asked Qin Lang to mention one too.
"Yin, the original meaning of the word Yin is to be inherited from descendants."
