The Book of Troubled Times

Chapter 631 Martial Spirit

 At this moment, Zhao Changhe is also stupid.

Didn't you say "I would like to be my concubine"? Didn't you say that you don't want to compete with others...Why is it that it's just dawn? This behavior is completely inappropriate?

Just like before I traveled through time, I said before going to bed every day that I would get up early the next day, and I completely forgot about it the next day. Does this mean?

This was openly mentioned in the court. The most dangerous thing is that the new majesty must win over the head of the Tang Dynasty. No matter what reward she wants, she should agree to it, let alone marrying a man. That's nothing. ?

Zhao Changhe took Xia Chichi's place and thought about it for a while. He almost couldn't find a solution. Could it be that the emperor and his ministers were fighting in front of the founding ceremony?

 But he has no solution either!

Zhuque's mind is on fire. If I were Huangfu Qing and had to tear you apart, how could I rob you now that I was Zhuque... No, Huangfu Qing, as a former noble concubine, was not suitable to speak. Zhuque could at least taunt you!

Thinking of this, I couldn't wait. Xia Chichi was still shouting "wait a minute", and Suzaku started to fire off the cannons first: "Hey, the first emperor of the Tang Dynasty is pure and pure. Everyone thinks he is a lotus on the mountain. Unexpectedly, he actually begs for men in the court. He is really the best in the world. Laughing."

Tang Wanzhuang said calmly: "It is normal human relations for a man to marry a woman, so why should we laugh about it? Wanzhuang is ninety-nine this year, and there is only more than a month left this year, so she will be thirty... I am ashamed of my parents." As expected, I am ashamed of myself. Now that the new king has started his dynasty, everything has been renewed. It is also a celebration for the country to give his ministers the joy of their wedding. It is normal for the Venerable Suzaku to only be in charge of educational affairs and not to understand the human relations in the world."

　　It’s so reasonable, so upright, and it sounds so normal to officials regardless of their stance. Tang Wanzhuang has worked hard for the country all his life, and now he is still alone. Can you stand it? As a new king, it is absolutely appropriate to give him a marriage, not to mention that he wanted it himself.

But there are many courtiers who know me well. Although Tang Wanzhuang and Zhao Changhe's ambiguity was hidden in the house and not made public, many people were still vaguely aware of it. What's more, she said clearly this time, "He is no longer the prince." , almost explicitly referring to Zhao Changhe.

Then what? Who is this new Majesty now? The survivors of Luojiazhuang who were with Zhao Changhe had known each other since Wei Mo and slept together in Beimang. The late emperor knew clearly that this man was not his son, but he remained ambiguous and did not express his position. He allowed Longque to be used by him and others to misunderstand him. Wasn't it because he recognized that this man was his son-in-law and was qualified to inherit?

 So this is the first day of the founding of the country, and the Chief and His Majesty are openly robbing men!

The courtiers watched the show silently, while Suzaku over there was already sarcastic: "So is this the founding ceremony of the country or the marriage proposal ceremony of the first emperor of the Tang Dynasty?"

Tang Wanzhuang said calmly: "As an important minister of Wanzhuang's country, family affairs are also national affairs. It is normal for reckless people not to know this meaning, but from now on, as the respected people of the state religion, it is better to learn more about these things... Having said that, this What does this matter have to do with His Holiness, why are you chattering here..."

 Suzaku's seven orifices produce smoke.

Xia Chichi suddenly spoke: "Please be patient, sir. I remembered that one person was missing from the list of rewards for merit, so I made arrangements first."

Tang Wanzhuang was startled, and then heard Xia Chichi say: "Zhao Changhe, with his rough body, carried out economic affairs, settled Jiangnan, drove Beihu, controlled Jingxiang, settled Miao territory, and leveled Canghai. His achievements were great. , there has never been any reward, so why? The late emperor regarded him as the crown prince, so he did not take it lightly. Now that the new dynasty has been established, his contribution is the first, and he should be the first to reward, but there is no reward, why? He should be doing the work of the crown prince, and private rewards are useless. . Now I regard Changhe as the king of Zhao. If something unexpected happens to me, the king of Zhao will succeed him and admire this."

Tang Wanzhuang: "?"

　　 Zhuque: ""

 Zhao Changhe: “…”

Almost all the courtiers who knew something about it had a sense of astonishment in their hearts. Absolutely, this His Majesty is very powerful!

In today's troubled times, with gods and demons watching, no one dares to say whether he will be assassinated and die suddenly tomorrow. It is really necessary to make arrangements for the funeral early to reassure people. This is the foundation of the country. If you want to find someone who is qualified to take over and reassure people after "If Something Happens to Me", who else but Zhao Changhe? This is the only choice! If the relationship between the prince and the prince was extremely weird, she deliberately did not use the title "prince" and instead called him the crown prince to dilute the weirdness. This can be regarded as a concession from the ancient sages.

This is much more beautiful than announcing that Zhao Changhe is the husband, otherwise it will inevitably lead to fighting with the ministers for husband, which is really ugly. Now that Tang Wanzhuang had just said that she had sworn not to marry a prince or become a concubine, what now? He is the crown prince again...

This not only solved the problem of Tang Wanzhuang snatching men, but also determined the country's capital. Even Tang Wanzhuang opened his mouth slightly, unable to refute this "random fate"!

Now, if Xia Chichi kindly said, "Who do you want to marry, please?", Tang Wanzhuang would have no idea... She was worried that Xia Chichi would beat the loser, so she quickly changed the subject: "Since your majesty recognizes the late emperor's heir, then the affairs of the harem should also be taken care of." Give me a solution."

Xia Chichi said leisurely: "As the empress dowager, I will take charge of the harem, and I will serve her morning and evening. As for myself...the world is not settled, so why should I have a personal relationship? Let's put it aside for the time being."

Tang Wanzhuang said: "Then the funeral of the late emperor and his posthumous title..."

 The funeral is according to the deceased emperor? Or the last king of the previous dynasty? This is a completely different concept. If you want to consider the late emperor's concubine as your mother, and the late emperor's approved heir as your heir, then you have to make these things clear. This time, the courtiers were not in the mood to care about women's gossip. They let out a sigh of satisfaction after holding half a cup of tea, and each one participated in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, this matter is not a trivial matter and must be discussed in detail!"

As for who Tang Wanzhuang was going to marry, the topic was completely changed without any trace, and no one cared about it anymore.

Xia Chichi looked at her deeply, and the emperor and his ministers looked at each other with malice as if they were meeting an enemy.

Suzaku stood with his mouth half open, and suddenly thought, have I been fighting with this old woman my whole life? Accept this little woman as your apprentice? Who am I and where am I?

 In fact, regarding whether the funeral should be carried out according to the deceased emperor or the previous dynasty's fallen king, no matter which way Xia Chichi wanted to handle it, he would be opposed, because there are reasons for opposition, and this would become a test and discipline for the new emperor by the officials.

But it is a pity that in front of Xia Chichi and Tang Wanzhuang, nothing can be hidden. The objections to discipline had not even begun before they were blocked by Tang Wanzhuang: "In the past, Wu Zhao changed the country to Zhou, which was also a new dynasty. Taizong and Gaozong still listed his temples. This is also a virtue. Even though your Majesty changed the dynasty, , the bloodline is still alive, we should not bear the name of unfilial piety, and should be buried with the rites of the late emperor. Anyone who says otherwise is unfilial, and if you want to bring the king a bad reputation among the people, it is unfaithful. He should be expelled from the court and never used again! "

Lu Jianzhang: “…”

I haven’t even spoken yet... I’ve already finished my sentence for being unfaithful and unfilial.

never mind.

“To overcome disasters and chaos is called martial arts, to protect great achievements and achieve great results is called martial arts, to strengthen the enemy’s virtue is called martial arts…to attack and defend against insults is called martial arts, to punish the people and overcome them is called martial arts…The martial arts of the late emperor should be without dispute.”

“…Died in the wilderness is called Zhuang; those who fight with soldiers and armor urgently are called Zhuang; those who fight repeatedly are called Zhuang; those who fail to succeed in military campaigns are called Zhuang…”

“Chaos without harm is called spirit; being famous without diligence is called spirit; dying and seeing the power of gods is called spirit; being extremely aware of ghosts and gods is called spirit…”

“When a country encounters difficulties, it is called Min; when it causes people to be injured, it is called Min; when disaster occurs, it is called Min…”

“All three of these are desirable. Can you please discuss them?”

Since the posthumous title is based on the courtesy of the late emperor, it is impossible to give a good posthumous title. It is really deceiving oneself and others to be deceived by changing the posthumous title. A relatively fair evaluation is still needed.

The force failed, and the people were injured...Zhao Changhe had gained a lot of knowledge about ancient posthumous titles. Fortunately, these people could find something to apply to Lao Xia from so many words, but it turned out to be reasonable. There is basically no dispute about the word "武". There was a huge quarrel in the court over whether the latter word was "strong", "spirit" or "melancholy". This time, even Xia Chichi and Tang Wanzhuang couldn't decide.

Zhao Changhe looked at "Extremely aware of ghosts and gods" and "Death can see gods". When others saw this, they thought that Lao Xia only saw gods and demons, but Zhao Changhe suddenly thought that Lao Xia finally said that his soul might have gone back... He was stunned for a while. God, for the first time, expressed his opinion in the controversy: "Be spiritual."

 The controversy suddenly stopped, everyone looked at him and closed their mouths.

Xia Chichi's heart moved slightly. Zhao Changhe's prestige was so high that he didn't even realize it.

 This should not only be the status of "King Zhao"...but also the strength. In more than two years, he ranked second on the Earth Ranking, killing gods and demons. There has never been such a perverted person in history. What is even more terrifying is that he has always given people the impression of a **** Shura with a strong murderous intent. And he usually doesn't talk much, but once he speaks, it shows that he cares. That really means that all the bullies have to give face. No one dares to openly refute him and try to see if Longque is good at it.

Wuling, Xia Longyuan's posthumous title was decided upon, and he was buried with the honors of the late emperor.

For Zhao Changhe, this posthumous title is not bad... Although King Zhao Wuling died in a very shameful manner in his later years, his image in textbooks is quite positive. But the fact that Yisheng Shenwu died without any dignity is... quite similar.
