"Now that the grandfather has passed away, the Grand Master has come to the door to mourn."

Who doesn’t know that the officials in the palace have issued an edict to deal with Sima Xianggong’s funeral according to the prime minister’s specifications?

He also issued a special order to posthumously award the title of the Grand Tutor and work with the Secretary of the Central Secretariat!

He also has a high standard evaluation of Sima Guang's life achievements.

At this time, Master Wen’s waist was no longer sore, his legs were no longer hurt, and he was a confidant again with his husband!

hehe!

Wen Yanbo did not seem to feel the strange eyes looking at him, and walked to the filial son Sima Kang and filial son Sima Zhi who were kneeling in front of the spirit and crying.

"Public rest, mourn." Wen Yanbo said in a deep voice.

"Thank you for coming to pay tribute to my father." Sima Kang bowed Wen Yanbo in a regular manner, and said with a hoarse voice cord and a little weak.

He is a filial child. Although he is not the biological child of Sima Guang and his wife, he really regards his adoptive father and mother as his biological child.

At that time, his adoptive mother Zhang passed away. When he was mourning, he fainted several times.

Now that Sima Guang has passed away, his inner pain is endless, and he has no time to think about other things.

Wen Yanbo looked at Sima Kang and sighed: "Don't be too sad."

He looked at the child kneeling behind Sima Kang and reminded the silly child: "We should consider the offspring and don't let Junshi down."

"No!" Sima Kang bowed again: "The teachings of the Grand Master, I will remember them in my heart."

After staying in Sima Guang's mansion for a while, Wen Yanbo walked out with the help of his son Wen and Fu. He also wanted to go to the capital hall to care about the capital hall's evaluation of Sima Guang's life.

Sima Guang passed away.

There are very few old people who are familiar with Jiayou era.

Only Feng Jing, Han Jiang, Lu Gongzhu and Su Song were left in the court.

This made him sigh and feel.

...

In the Song Dynasty, there were procedures for discussing posthumous posthumous titles to ministers.

First, the family members of the deceased minister wrote to the court and requested to be given a posthumous title, which is to ask for a posthumous title.

After the court approved it, it handed over to the Taichang Liyuan to propose a posthumous title. The Taichang Liyuan to formulate a batch of posthumous titles that match the life of the minister and reported to the Dutang. Then the Dutang discussed and selected several suitable posthumous titles to the palace. This was called the fixed posthumous title.

Finally, the emperor in the palace chose one of these posthumous titles, which was given a posthumous title.

Generally speaking, this is the process.

However, there are many places for behind-the-scenes operations.

Officials of Taichang Liyuan often rely on this to take advantage of the family members of the deceased ministers.

In order to get a good posthumous title for their ancestors, ordinary families can only pinch their noses and let these guys blackmail them.

However, ruling officials like Sima Guang directly skipped the previous two steps.

There is no need to ask for a posthumous title, nor does it require people from Taichang Liyuan to write a posthumous title - their status is not enough and they are not qualified.

The only one who can evaluate the judging is another judging.

When he heard that Wen Yanbo was coming, Han Jiang and Lu Gong were coming, and hurriedly led the other rulings to welcome him.

After they welcomed Wen Yanbo to the hall of the capital and asked him to take the seat, Wen Yanbo asked straight to the point: "Dear Masters, how are Sima Junshi's posthumous title?"

Han Jiang said: "I will not hide it from the Grand Master, we are discussing it."

"Hmm?" Wen Yanbo glared: "Is there any difficulty?"

"I won't hide it from the Grand Master, that's true." Han Jiang replied calmly.

"What's the difficulty?" Wen Yanbo narrowed his eyes and swept the priests present. His aura was completely relaxed, which made many people feel pressured in an instant.

It was not until this time that some young people remembered it.

This old teacher is not just an old minister who retires and is unemployed in Beijing to recuperate.

He was also a powerful figure who once said in front of the imperial court: Your Majesty is a powerful figure who has ruled the world with the scholars and officials, not a powerful person who has ruled the world with the people.

The key point is that after he said this, no hair fell off.

The late emperor still valued him.

Han Jiang said calmly: "In the official ban, Zeng said to the Queen Mother: "The Li" says: The slightestness is obvious, and sincerity cannot be concealed! I also heard that the poem says: When you are in your room, you are worthy of being leaking in the roof!"

"Therefore, our prime ministers, who used the words of the official family, to propose the posthumous posthumous title of Sima Junshi."

Wen Yanbo knew about this.

He looked at Han Jiang and said, "Since the official family has this intention, what is the difficulty of the magistrate following this agreement?"

"In my opinion, Sima Jun has been rigorous in his life, has a rigorous academic discipline, has a reputation for morality and knowledge. His life is innocent, well-known throughout the world, and his ambitions have never been shaken by it! He has given all his income from his official career to his elders at the end of his life, which is selfless!"

As he said that, he looked straight at Han Jiang.

Everyone knows what Sima Guang pursued during his lifetime?

Why can't I settle down?

Mr. Lu would definitely not stop him from taking this right prime minister.

The only one who can stop him is Han Jiang, the left prime minister.

Han Jiang narrowed her eyes: "Since ancient times, posthumous posthumous titles are the traces of running."

"The official family wants to post a beautiful poster, but our ministers cannot ignore the world's arguments!"

"At the beginning, Xia Wenzhuang (Xia Shun) Ren Temple wanted to postpone Wenxian, but the ministers dismissed it, and then changed it to Wenzheng. The ministers dismissed it again, and finally became Wenzhuang."

Speaking of this, Han Qi looked at Wen Yanbo: "Have you forgotten this matter?"

Wen Yanbo smiled and said that he and Han Jiang both knew what they meant.

He came here to win Sima Guang a good posthumous title.

Moreover, Sima Guang had been pursuing this posthumous title during his lifetime.

But Han Jiang didn't want to give it to him.

Because Han Jiang said - the posthumous name, the trace of the journey.

It is a summary of a person's life.

But he didn't think that Sima Guang deserved the posthumous title.

So, he gave back and forth the story of Xia Shu and respected Wen Yanbo.

It's really outrageous!

But, where did Han Jiang get the courage?

Is he not afraid of being embarrassed by his reputation after his death in the future?

unless……

Wen Yanbo narrowed his eyes.

He looked at Han Jiang and thought about what Han Jiang revealed to him.

The official talks to the empress dowager in the forbidden period - "Li" says: The slightestness is obvious, and the sincerity cannot be concealed! The poem says: When you are in your room, you are worthy of being leaking!

The first sentence comes from the Book of Rites and the second sentence comes from the Book of Songs and has also been quoted in the Book of Rites.

The two sentences are connected together, and the normal explanation should be very positive!

Then why, Han Jiang insisted on stopping him? He refused to give him the posthumous title?

Is there anything he ignored?

Thinking of this, Wen Yanbo asked, "So, what posthumous titles have all the masters of the capital?"

Han Jiang said softly: "I think Sima Jun has been successful in his life and has achieved success in his studies. The book "Zizhi Tongjian is a book that is unprecedented and modern. He can posthumously said: Wen!"

Wen Yanbo immediately looked at Han Jiang with a wide eyes wide open, feeling that he was being provoked.

Because in the Song Dynasty, single posthumous posthumous can usually be understood as a kind of tactful criticism or the court does not pay attention to the death of this minister at all, or even despise it very much.

Because there are two precedents - in Renmiao, I wanted to give a posthumous title to a small official named Wang Mo, but the official position when this official died was not even enough to give a posthumous title!

The second example also happened in the Renmiao era.

The ruling Chen Zhizhong died. At that time, the first person to preside over the posthumous discussion was Han Wei. Han Wei did not like Chen Zhizhong, so he gave him the posthumous title of "Rong Ling". This is to point at the nose and scold him - the favored fortune is called Rong Rong, and if he is not diligent, he is called Ling.

Taichang Temple, who presided over the posthumous title, thought Han Wei was too radical and should be more friendly, so he changed the single posthumous title of "Kong" - "Kong" is called Gong.

This is also a bad review.

Then, Yang Nanzhong, the judge of the Shangshu exam, felt that the bad comments of Taichang Temple were too uneasy, so he turned a single posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthu

This person made such a little contribution to the Song Dynasty!

Of course, in Gongxiang's context, this contribution may very well refer to the fact that he died.
