Chapter 444: Super Long Posthumous Title
Chapter 444: Super Long Posthumous Title
This made Bumbutai's eyes tear up again. How could she have deserved to raise such a good grandson?
This is really enviable. Lu Zhi was jealous and envious. The grandson of Empress Xiaozhuang must be fine too.
No one has ever heard of an emperor willing to sacrifice his own life to extend the life of his grandmother.
She is so filial, how come she doesn’t have that?
When Lu Zhi thought of her son, she wanted to slap him twice. How could she see such big differences between people?
The barrage of comments went crazy at this time, with all kinds of comments flooding the screen. I didn’t expect that this royal family actually had true feelings.
The grandson raised by Empress Xiaozhuang was much better than their sons.
What’s the use of having many sons? They are all rebellious.
It took time, and many "rebellious sons" of many dynasties were severely beaten.
"I didn't expect that I would have such a good grandson in the future. Good, good, good," Bumbutai said three good words in a row. When she heard the little immortal talking about the outrageous behavior of her son Fulin later, Bumbutai was angry and heartbroken.
But when she heard that she had such a good grandson, her heart suddenly warmed up. She didn't know when she would have such a good grandson, but she couldn't wait to meet him.
What a pity, she will have to wait another ten years. After all, her son Fulin is only three or four years old now and is still a baby.
So, grandson, it will take a long time before we meet again.
These days are becoming more and more promising.
"Congratulations to Empress Xiaozhuang for having a good grandson," said Lu Zhi and Deng Sui with a smile.
"Hehe," Bumbutai naturally knew that the two of them envied her. Not only them, but many people in front of the sky envied her.
She almost envied her old self.
"Empress Xiaozhuang, you passed away in the Cining Palace at the age of 75.
In your last will and testament, Empress Xiaozhuang instructed Emperor Kangxi to "control his grief and put the most important things in his life first."
After Empress Xiaozhuang died, Emperor Kangxi was very sad and cried bitterly.
However, they made a puzzling decision, which was not to allow the coffin of your Empress Xiaozhuang to be buried.
The coffin was kept in the Fengdian Hall, and it remained there for a full 37 years!
In the past, people talked about being buried in peace, but Emperor Kangxi's action was truly unpredictable.
He also ordered the demolition of the five palaces that you, Empress Xiaozhuang, loved most during your lifetime.
He was very respectful to Su Malagu. Su Malagu was your personal maid, Empress Xiaozhuang, and was very trusted by you, so Kangxi was also quite respectful to her.
That’s why people don’t understand why Emperor Kangxi did these things.”
Li Wu shook his head. This really made people wonder whether they could understand it or not.
Lu Zhi, Deng Sui and Bumbutai looked at each other. Could there be some reason for this?
The barrage of comments blamed Kangxi, causing him to be scolded. Kangxi himself also fell silent. It was naturally impossible for him to have any conflicts with the Empress Dowager.
None of the ministers said anything. This was not something they could talk about casually.
Barrage
Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty: Your father did this naturally because of your great-grandmother's last wish. Your great-grandmother did not want to be buried with your great-grandfather and wanted to be buried with your grandfather. However, according to etiquette, your great-grandmother must be buried with your great-grandfather. This naturally made your father embarrassed. On the one hand, there was your great-grandmother's last wish, and on the other hand, there was etiquette. This put your father in a dilemma and he didn't know how to choose. So this was not your father's fault.
After seeing Yongzheng’s explanation, the emperors and ministers of the Qing Dynasty also came out to testify. No matter whether it was true or not, it could only be true.
After seeing Yongzheng's explanation, other people tended to accept it, but no one knew what they thought in their hearts.
Sky
"Let me see how the barrage gives this explanation," Li Wu said, Empress Xiaozhuang must have cared about this matter very much.
After all, the ancients believed that one should be buried in peace. Who wouldn't want to know what happened if he hasn't been buried for more than 30 years?
Bumbutai nodded. She really wanted to know what was going on.
Li Wu also happened to see Yongzheng's comments and said, "Emperor Yongzheng explained that this was your last wish, Empress Xiaozhuang. You did not want to be buried with Huang Taiji, but wanted to be buried with your son Fulin. However, etiquette and law stipulated that you had to be buried with Huang Taiji, so Emperor Kangxi did not know how to choose until the Yongzheng period, when your great-grandson ordered the burial.
Well, buried with your son Fulin.
Kangxi didn't have to make a choice. Yongzheng directly fulfilled Empress Xiaozhuang's last wish and Emperor Kangxi's filial piety. That's good."
After hearing Li Wu's explanation, Bumbutai nodded. So that's it.
"Emperor Kangxi gave you the posthumous title of Empress Xiaozhuang: Empress Xiaozhuang Wenren Xuanchengxian Gongyi Yitianqi Shengwen, or Empress Xiaozhuang Wen in short. This posthumous title is really long," Li Wu said helplessly, as it didn't start from the Tang Dynasty.
Well, it should have started with Emperor Gaozong of Tang, who added a posthumous title to Emperor Taizong of Tang. Initially, he wanted to reflect the merits of Emperor Taizong of Tang, but it was imitated by later people in various ways.
Lu Zhi and Deng Sui looked at each other and thought, "No, what the hell is that?"
Why is there so much of a string? It's just a posthumous title, why is it so long?
The ancestors in front of the sky were also confused. What is that?
Especially the dynasties with short posthumous titles. No, you can still play it like this, right? Can they remember such long posthumous titles?
"Didn't the dynasties after you all use such long posthumous titles?" Deng Sui asked with a blink of her eyes. These dynasties after you were really strange.
Bumbutai remained silent. This was not something she could decide. Who knew that the posthumous title would become longer and longer.
“Hahaha, this thing was started by Emperor Gaozong of Tang. The previous posthumous titles were all relatively normal. Later, Emperor Gaozong of Tang added a posthumous title to Emperor Taizong of Tang, the Holy Emperor of Civil and Military Affairs, to reflect the great achievements of Emperor Taizong of Tang.
As a result, this was imitated by people later on, and the posthumous title became longer and longer.
If the 17 words about the Ming Dynasty can be understood by so many people, I wonder what they think of the 23 words about the Qing Dynasty.
And they are all words of praise," Li Wu couldn't help laughing. It's not that the longer the posthumous title, the better. Does he think he is a good emperor just because it has a dozen or twenty words?
The emperor's name is not reflected in his posthumous title.
Emperor Gaozong of Tang was stunned after hearing this. No, there were too many other things involved. He simply wanted to give his father a posthumous title.
The barrage was full of discussions about this matter. The later dynasty was mocked by the earlier dynasty. Emperor Taizong of Tang covered his face and didn't want to recognize his son anymore.
Shame!
Sky
Lu Zhi and the other two were extremely speechless.
"That's all I have to say about your deeds, Empress Xiaozhuang. Let me first think about where we should go for fun. There are many places, but I haven't decided yet," Li Wu tapped his chin with his hand, thinking.
"Little Immortal, it's up to you to decide. It doesn't matter where you go."
"That's right, that's right, little fairy, it's up to you to decide."
"Eat first, eat first, don't waste it."
"Empress Lü, Empress Dowager Deng, are you all full?"
"No, it's still edible."
"Me too."
The three of them started eating again, still very elegantly.
Not a single bit can be wasted.
