Recently, Mazhai Village, Qingtian Youzhu Street, Qingtian Youzhu Street, Lishui County, Zhejiang Province, Jiefu Village, Haikou Town, and Shigai Village, Chuanliao Town, respectively , "unearthed" three sacred wills.
All three of these holy decrees came from the year of Xuanhe. Xuanhe is the era name of Zhao Tuo, the Son of the Northern Song Dynasty, and after expert identification, these three copies are the holy will of the Northern Song Emperor Song Huizong, estimated at hundreds of thousands of yuan.
However, the opening words of these three holy decrees are all "Fengtian Carrying The Emperor System", which is very suspicious.
Experts believe that it is not suspicious at all, they explain that in the film and television drama, the opening statement of the eunuch reading the holy will is "Fengtian Carrying the Emperor's Edict", in fact, the "Making" and "Zhao Yue" Holy Will coexist. The difference between the two is: "the order is the system, the order is the edict", that is, the emperor's proclamation involving major institutional aspects is called "making a book". "Fengtian Carrier Emperor System" is an imperial message related to important systems, and "Fengtian Carrier Emperor Edict" is only an order issued by the emperor on specific events for specific people.
But the problem is that according to Shen Defu, a scholar of the Ming Dynasty's Wanli Period, whether it is "Fengtian Carrying Emperor System" or "Fengtian Carrying Emperor Edict", it was created from the mouth of Zhu Yuanzhang, the ming emperor.
Volume 1 of Yu Jideng's "Chronicles of Allusions" also records that Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, was born into poverty, helped landlords herd cattle since childhood, worked as a monk and a beggar, and used cloth to win the world. After ascending the throne, he once said with infinite emotion: "I am the right cloth of Huaihuai, and the world is what I am doing?" Meaning: "I was originally just a small citizen, and the emperor's throne doesn't matter to me?" But heaven chose me to be emperor, and the heavens favored me, so I would do it according to the mandate of heaven. To this end, Zhu Yuanzhang named the highest-standard imperial hall the Fengtian Hall and said to his courtiers: "When you see people talking and moving, they all act in accordance with the heavens, and they dare not be self-exclusive." When conveying the holy will, the title of "Emperor of Fengtian Carriage" is added, followed by "Zhi Yue" or "Zhao Yue".
Indeed, as long as we carefully check it, since Qin Shi Huang unified the world, most of the emperors' holy wills have only used one word in the opening scenes of the "zhao" or two words "zhao yue". The edict of Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty, is somewhat special, with four words: "Heavenly Destiny."
Of course, the article "Let the Yellow Emperor Temple" in volume 19 of the Tang Huijiao records that after the death of Li Yuan, the crown prince of Wenjing, and others were posthumously awarded the title of "Fengtian Carrying Emperor", and Tang Wenzong opened it in the fourth year (839) and abolished this system. However, the use of "Fengtian Carrying Emperor" for the beginning of the Holy Will was indeed initiated by Zhu Yuanzhang.
In a word, either the rumor that Zhu Yuanzhang first created the title of "Fengtian Carrying Emperor" is false, or the three holy decrees unearthed in Lishui, Zhejiang Are false.
