【Synopsis】: Sui and Tang Dynasty Fengyun 022: The stars fell, he failed to see the rise of the new dynasty
In the last issue, we mentioned the death of General Wei Xiaokuan, and also said that Yang Jian was preparing to ascend the throne as emperor, but he did an inhumane thing, that is, to massacre the Northern Zhou Sect. At the end of the show, we also mentioned that a person escaped, causing some turmoil among these courtiers.
This man's name was Su Wei.
Su Wei (I don't know who painted it, but the temperament is more consistent)
Su Wei is a talent introduced to Yang Jian by Gao Jiao, and his family can also be regarded as a famous and prestigious family. But his life is more tragic, his father Su Wei died relatively early, and Su Wei belonged to the young father. But he should be very talented, and his appearance is not bad, which is deeply praised by Yuwen Hu. The greatest affirmation of a man is to marry his daughter to this man. Yes, that's right, Su Wei's wife is Yuwen Go's daughter, Princess Xinxing.
But he saw that Yuwen was guarding the side of the guard, and there were many contradictions with all parties, and it was really possible that Yang ji would gather him in the future, so he simply chose to escape from the mountains and become a hermit. However, the officialdom was not something he could hide if he wanted to, and he was forced back by his own uncle. The officials did not do much to fulfill their duties, and ran to the temple at both ends of the three days, taking pleasure in reading.
However, his reputation is indeed not low, and Gao Hao recommended him because of his fame. Yang Jian naturally also knew him, after being summoned, after a long talk, he found that this person really had talent, so let's stay. If yang jian can be an emperor, after talking for a night, he basically knows what Su Wei is like. He has a good temperament and values fame, and is a donkey, and he can't blow up thorns with him.
Therefore, in the face of Su Wei's resignation, Yang Jian had already expected it. He soothed the anxious Gao Ji and said, "He just doesn't want to be involved in my ascension to the throne, so don't worry about him." "Meaning, he'll be back when the time comes." Sure enough, after the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian gave him the title of "Prince Shaobao" official, and Su Wei returned from his ass.
The same thing happens to someone else. The Northern Zhou Dynasty elder Dou Chi made great achievements in the war to pacify Wei Chi, and belonged to those who unswervingly supported Yang Jian. However, in the face of directly advising Yang Jian to ascend the throne and become emperor, Dou Chi could not do it. He believed that he had received the imperial favor of northern Zhou for generations and could not do such a thing.
In fact, the behavior of Su Wei and Dou Chi can be understood, rebellion can be, and even the massacre of the Northern Zhou Sect Can be done, but it is really impossible to let the former courtiers advise the new emperor to change the dynasty, but it is impossible to step through this obstacle in his heart.
It doesn't matter, this hurdle is not enough, just slowly. Just wait until the new court is established, and you can do your part. Yang Jian could also see it, so there was no need to wait for the reaction of these people. He asked Emperor Jing of Zhou to abolish the title of Left and Right Chancellor, leaving him with a position as Chancellor, which was naturally given to him. Later, he added the position of Otsuka Zai, which was the same as that of Yuwen Gona.
Next, there is the regular process of Zen Rang. The so-called routine process is that the new emperor asked the last emperor of the previous dynasty to issue a Zen concession edict, and then carried out the drama of three pushes and three concessions, and finally had to show constipation, which could not be accepted. This is actually to tell the people of the world that I have won the throne not to usurp the throne, but to be the spokesman for the interests of the masses, and to be destined for it. Don't look at this set of procedures, but you must also have it, otherwise it will make people think that you are usurping power, easy to be unpopular, and not orthodox.
Zen makes the general appearance
So let's talk about the normal Zen order. The first is to seal the country first. Because Yang Jian inherited the title of his father Yang Zhong, he had always been the Duke of Suiguo, and this time he was enfeoffed as the King of Sui, with the ten counties he managed as the state. This is equivalent to establishing a country within a country, which is not far from becoming an emperor.
Here we will say a little more, that is, the title of the King of Sui, which Sui it is. As I said before, Yang Zhong's Suiguo Gong is casual, and the origin of the name of the Great Sui Dynasty is also related to this title. Some people on the Internet said that this was because Yang Jian hated to go casually in the middle and thought it was unlucky, so he removed it and wrote it as the Sui of the Great Sui Dynasty. Looking through the history books, I found that there was no relevant edict, if it was to change the name of the country, it must be a big deal, and it must be recorded. Therefore, it is said that the name of the country modified by Yang Jian can only be fabricated or rumored.
Who changed that? If it is to find the source of this statement, it should be Li Fu's "Publication Error" at the end of the Tang Dynasty. This Li Fu was a person during the Tang Zhaozong period, and he wrote this "Publication Error" in the hope of exploring some of the errors in the book. It is mentioned in this book that Emperor Wen of Sui did not like to follow casually and felt that people were restless, so he swiped a large pen and removed it.
Of course, this move was also scolded quite badly by posterity. Wang Yinglin, a famous scholar of the Southern Song Dynasty, commented on the incident of Emperor Wen of Sui's change in "Jade Sea", directly saying that this was a great ominous. Is it ominous to change the word? Because removing it is equivalent to "splitting flesh" with the word, similar to engaging in a split, can it be auspicious? And the important head of the line is to walk in the middle, and that word is pronounced, which means to move forward slowly. Removing the head of the ministry at will is not only unlucky, but also reflects that the emperor has no culture.
The second half of the sentence did not say, I made up for them, no culture, really terrible.
But is that true? I'm afraid we're wrong to blame Emperor Wen of Sui. At that time, casual sui, and Sui of the Sui Dynasty, both words were available. And, most importantly, the two words are used in a mixture, and there is no rule on what to use for any occasion. Some scholars have roughly counted the tombstones of the Sui Dynasty period, and found that the Sui of the Great Sui above, the use of this word is very high, as high as 90%. From the beginning of the Tang Dynasty to the tang Xuanzong period, it was reduced to eighty percent, and in the late Tang Dynasty, it rose back, and returned to ninety percent. So it may be that since then, the Sui of the Great Sui has used more times, and casually followed it has become a strange word, and people can't explain it, so it feels that Yang Jian changed the national name.
This can not be blamed on future generations, after all, what the situation was at that time, no one knows, if you do not examine it, it is estimated that it will always be suspected.
Let's go on to talk about the process of Zen Rang, just talked about jin feng as the king of Sui. After that, there are some ceremonial transitions, which are basically "the sword is on the temple, the entry into the dynasty is not trending, and the worship is not named." The sword foot on the temple means that you can wear a sword and wear shoes to see the emperor. Entering the DPRK does not tend to mean that the courtiers can move fast without taking small steps, but can move forward at a normal speed. Under normal times, when a courtier sees the emperor, he cannot take a big step forward, but must take small steps to show respect for the emperor. Praise without name means that when the praise official informs the emperor of the name of his subject, he only calls the official position, not the name.
In addition to these, there is also the gift of adding nine tin, about what nine tin is, we have talked about it in a thousand words, we will not mention it more. In the middle of this, Yang Jian must be humble, and Yang Jian can only accept it if the officials are kind enough to persuade each other. After that, it was the most important thing, the emperor of the old dynasty wanted to issue an edict on the Zen throne, indicating that the Zen position was a move of the heavens and the people, and confessed that the dynasty had exhausted itself. The edict must be issued, but it depends on when it is issued. When you get married, you have to choose a good day and an auspicious day, and Zen Jean has to find it even more. Therefore, the warlock Yu Jicai told Yang Jian that the best day was February Jiazi, followed by February Jia noon. He also gave an example, saying that King Wu of Zhou chose Jiazi to ascend the throne, and the Zhou Dynasty existed for eight hundred years. Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, chose Jia Wu to ascend the throne, and the Han Dynasty existed for four hundred years.
Yang Jian listened, good fellow, a few days later to ascend the throne, the country's continuation time directly cut in half. Then what else to say, just choose the day of the first son to ascend the throne, that is, February 13th. Prior to this, Emperor Jing of Zhou had already announced the Edict of Zen to the world, and the relevant ministers sent the book and the seal to Yang Jian's home. On the thirteenth day, Yang Jian wore a yellow robe and regular clothes, worshipped the heavens in the southern suburbs, and worshipped his ancestors in the Zongmiao Temple to announce the advent of a new era.
The Great Sui Dynasty was formally established.
