In the cabinet of the Forbidden City, Xie Qian always looked restless these days, which made the people in the cabinet somewhat wary.

Everyone knows that only Master Xie in the cabinet is the most inhumane. He has to be serious and cannot communicate with him if he has disagreement.

Recently, my old friend is seriously ill and in danger, and his temper has become even worse.

Sometimes even Liu Jian has to give in to him.

Li Dongyang was not on duty today, so Liu Jian searched Xie Qian and Jiao Fang early in the morning.

Judging from the recent news from Nanjing, the Wangbutang is probably not going to be successful.

In this case, mourning has become the top priority.

But Ye Chunqiu's incident happened again, which attracted the attention of the world. If one is not good, the prince will die with his eyes closed.

In this era, life and death are extremely important things, because death represents separation. Since ancient times, separation has caused many feelings. Life and death are separated, which means that future generations and old friends will never see the voice, appearance and smile of the dead in their lifetime.

But now...a good thing has become a joke.

Thinking about it makes people sigh.

When the three cabinet ministers sat down, Xie Qian saw that he had not slept well last night, his eyes were red, and he didn't know how long he had been worried about his friends. He had a particularly hot temper these days, and he was always unreasonable and everyone had to give in to him.

Liu Jian was unwilling to mention this matter, because when he mentioned it, Xie Shangdai would inevitably get angry, but if the funeral was dragged on, it would be really bad.

Therefore, he glanced at Xie Qian and said slowly: "There has not been a report from Nanjing yet, and I don't know what the situation is. Now the Hanlin Academy has issued an edict. Just wait for it to be issued. Your Majesty also has to issue an order to mourn. Last time I discussed with the Ministry of Rites, the posthumous title was Wen Zhong..." At this point, Liu Jian sighed. The posthumous title of Duke Wen Zhong was still a little worse. He originally wanted to win over Duke Wen Zheng, but it was not easy to be Duke Wen Zheng. To be honest, even the old ministers of the three dynasties, Liu Jian, who assisted the late emperor and created the prosperous era of Hongzhi, probably did not have the qualifications.

Posthumous titles are very important, and they must not be careless, and they will not be able to do anything. The Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy will never dare to "fashion and flatter" in such matters. After all, once the posthumous title is promulgated, if the talents and virtues of those who have obtained the posthumous title are unmatched, they must be scolded by the people of the world, or even spread in history, and may become a laughing stock for later generations.

The ancients valued the name. The more they did, the more they dared to make a fuss about such things. Wen Zhonggong was treated extremely prominently, but the word Wen Zheng was proposed by Sima Guang of the Northern Song Dynasty, saying, "Wen Zheng is the extremely beautiful posthumous posthumous posthumous title, and it is impossible to add it again." It is the ultimate morality of literati. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, they were even more stingy with Wen Zheng's posthumous title.

Speaking of the history of Li Dongyang, he was also related to Wen Zheng. At that time, he was about to die. Yang Yiqing, the Grand Secretary at that time, went to see him. Seeing that Li Dongyang was worried about his posthumous title, he revealed to him that he would give Wen Zheng a posthumous title after his death. The dying Li Dongyang suddenly returned and kowtowed to Yang Yiqing on the bed. Who is Li Dongyang? He is now a Grand Secretary in the Cabinet. Since then, he has become the Chief Auxiliary Grand Secretary and has turned the tide. As a result, Wen Zhenggong actually kowtowed to Yang Yiqing, who is a junior.

In fact, there have been voices recently asking Wang Hua to be given a Duke Wen Zheng; Xie Qian is the representative of it. Now I heard that the one who has been confirmed is Duke Wen Zhong. Although Duke Wen Zhong is considered to be a match for Wang Hua's talent and virtue, I always feel that it is a little bit worse. Xie Qian looked sad at this time and felt even more depressed.

Liu Jian smiled reluctantly and said, "His son is also rushing to Nanjing. After the emperor grants him permission to obey the system, the official will be restored and no longer demoted to a remote place to an official. This is the emperor's kindness... But there is still a problem at the moment. Everyone knows this. What I am most worried about is that the death of the prince and the evil thief Ye Chunqiu is eager to jump over the wall and delay the funeral. If so, what should we do? Nanjing is already dealing with it, and even the Duke of Wei came forward in person, but I read the report and said that this little thief was as cunning as a fox, making people unable to speak. Alas..."

Thinking of this, I began to sigh.

What a glory in the prince’s life, but it’s...

Liu Jian shook his head.

Bang.

Xie Qian slapped the table and scared Jiao Fang, who was on the side of the old god, but saw Xie Qian angrily said, "What else should I say now? This thief should be cut into pieces, and it is hard to relieve my hatred. What exactly did Duke Wei do to mobilize the entire city of Nanjing, and even a small thief could not hold on. Also, the Ministry of War, the Five Military Camps, and the Factory Guards of Nanjing, are these people all vacant bags? Now the matter is urgent, are they just lazy? No, I really can't bear it anymore. I will report to Your Majesty tomorrow that he wants to go to Nanjing. This matter must not be good. At the same time, I have to give the Duke Wei a note. If necessary, if you can save the Wang family, you can do it cheaply. Even if Ye Chunqiu is killed on the spot, it will be spared!"

He roared, and his voice shook like thunder.

But he was shocked by a clerk who was about to come in to report the matter.

Liu Jian smiled bitterly in his heart, suddenly saw the clerk who was about to come in outside and said, "Secretary Zhao, what's the matter?"

The Zhao Shuli came in in fear and looked at Xie Qian very carefully. Xie Qian snorted at him. Instead, Jiao Fang smiled at him and said, "Shuli Zhao, don't be afraid, Mr. Xie is just talking about things. Is there anything to report?"

Zhao Shuli said: "There is another memorial in Nanjing, but...but..." He was so scared that he was sweating like a ghost.

As soon as he heard the news from Nanjing, Xie Qian became excited, rushed over and snatched the memorial, and couldn't help but say, "What's the memorial like?"

However, Zhao Shuli was full of fear, almost paralyzed, and sat down on the ground.

Liu Jian and Jiao Fang both found it strange that Zhao Shuli was able to come to the cabinet to serve, although he was just a minor official, he was definitely not such an indifferent person. Just because Xie Qian was furious, he was so scared like this. Isn’t it too strange?

At this time, Xie Qian let out a scream, and his face was full of fear. He threw the memorial to the place. He widened his eyes and was frightened: "Prince...Prince...It's a prince..."

Prince...

Has the prince passed away?

What's so surprising about this? After so long, everyone has been preparing for it.

This is not usually afraid of heaven and earth, why are you...

Xie Qian was a little confused, but he still said: "It's the prince's memorial... the prince's memorial..."

Liu Jian and Jiao Fang suddenly changed their color.

How could the prince report?
