Chapter 1282 Adding a different surname to Wei Junwang
Three words.
Not subject to.
Resign again!
Luoyang Cherry Island, Taishi Mansion.
Qin Lang asked the emperor for the fourth time to resign from various part-time jobs such as inspecting the Zhongshuling, Zhizhongshuxingshi, Luoyang palace guard, inspecting the Beiya military, and Luoyang governor, and finally got permission.
The emperor took the Qin sisters back to the Qin family to visit relatives as a guest, and several carts full of gold, silver and jewels were waiting for the door.
The door of the Qin family on Cherry Island was wide open.
"I am in modest clothes today, and I will accompany my two beloved concubines to visit relatives. There is no need to be so formal."
Li Yin today wears a black soft-footed toe, a red robe, a golden belt around his waist, and buckskin boots on his feet. He looks like a proud young official.
The Qin sisters are also full of joy.
Just yesterday, the emperor issued a decree to confer the title of imperial concubine on Qin Liangdi and the title of Zhaoyi on Qin Liangyuan, becoming the first concubine in the emperor's harem to be titled.
Even the former Crown Princess Su Shi has not yet been canonized.
Immediately following the entry of the Erqin family, there was another decree. Lu Wang Li Xian was granted the title of Wei Wang. At the same time, he paid homage to Henan Mu, added Zuo Wuwei General, and gave solid food to seal 1,000 households.
Qin Lang and Li Zhi brought their families to pick them up.
"Xian'er, come and meet your uncle and aunt!" Qin Guifei Qin Shu pushed a tiger-headed child forward, but it was Li Xian, who had just been named King Wei. As soon as he came up, he greeted Qin Lang and Lizhi.
Qin Lang touched the kid.
After Li Xian finished worshiping, he turned around and pulled out a little carrot from his mother, "Brother, come and see Uncle, Auntie."
"Hong'er pays respects to uncle and aunt."
Li Hong, who was only a little over three years old, was a bit restrained, not as lively as Li Xian. This kid was named Wei Queen by Li Xian, and was named Lu King by Li Yin, picking up his brother's original title.
Li Lizhi liked this baby very much, and felt that he was more like Brother Huang, "I haven't finished worshiping yet, you just paid respects to your aunt, but you haven't paid respects to your aunt yet!"
Li Hong turned to look at his mother with some doubts.
The noble concubine Qin Shu smiled, "That's right, Princess Taiping is both your aunt and your aunt."
The little guy was confused, and couldn't tell why for a while, but Li Xian taught his younger brother there, saying that Princess Taiping is the biological sister of the father and married the mother's elder brother, so she is both an aunt and an aunt.
The emperor smiled and said, "By the way, today I also brought the will of Taiping's conferment."
The emperor added the imperial sister Li Lizhi as the Taiping Princess, added 800 households in Shiyi, and 1,800 households in Tongqian.
"Brother Huang, sisters don't dare to accept this conferment, it's against the system." Li Lizhi, who had just been conferred the title of eldest princess, hurriedly refused, but Li Yin said that it was nothing at all.
After the Xuanwu Gate passed, Li Shimin bestowed beauty on Qin Lang in marriage, prepared a dowry in advance, bought a luxurious dowry for his daughter, and even gave super-standard food in advance, which aroused firm opposition from Wei Zheng and others.
Finally, the system was established, with three hundred households for the princess and eight hundred households for the prince. Moreover, the three hundred households of the princess had to be granted real seals after she got married, and they were only fictitious seals before she got married.
The princess has a maximum of three hundred, and the prince has a maximum of eight hundred.
But Li Shimin loves Li Lizhi, the eldest daughter, the most, and always thinks of ways to reward her. The number of food towns has also broken through several times, so she has been sealed up to a thousand households before, and now the new emperor directly adds 800 to her sister.
Lizhi declined, but the emperor didn't care, you can take it if you give it to you.
"The sage's reward is too much, and the minister is terrified!"
Li Yin took Qin Lang's hand, "No amount is too much, I will never forget the kindness that the teacher gave me, and Taiping and I are brothers and sisters of the same mother."
Arm in arm, the emperor and Qin Lang looked extremely cordial.
"The teacher repeatedly asked to resign from the part-time job, which really made me very embarrassed. Now that I have just succeeded to the throne, the court still needs the teacher, the chief assistant, to take care of me."
"Your Majesty, the previous part-time job was only a temporary expediency, and now it must be back on track."
"Well, I also know the teacher's temperament. If I don't agree, the teacher probably won't give up. It's really not good to resign every day. Come today and tell the teacher personally, I agree."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Don't worry!"
Chengqian found out another edict, "I asked Li Baiyao, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, to draft it, so I didn't bother to pass it on to others, and I brought it along."
"The grand master accepts the order!"
Qin Lang took it in doubt.
Open it, Li Baiyao's literary talent is really good, the article of Parallel Four Liliu, citing scriptures and classics, is a big chapter. Fortunately, Qin Lang also has poetry and books in his belly now, so he can understand this kind of edict.
But after reading it, I was still very shocked.
"I dare not accept the order!"
"The grand master has made great achievements in the two dynasties, no one can doubt his achievements, and he is completely worthy of this reward!"
Qin Lang's breathing was a bit short of breath.
Duke Wei!
King the king.
"When I was still in the East Palace, I made a promise to the grand master that he would be the Ninth Five-Year Supreme in the future, and he would be rewarded with a prince! This is what the teacher deserves, and it is also a promise that I should fulfill. I am not a person who breaks my promise. The teacher is also worthy of this letter!"
Wang with a different surname.
It's really a king with a different surname.
"Your Majesty, Zhenguan is custom-made, different surnames cannot be crowned king, this is the ancestral system."
Li Yin didn't care.
"It's not that there are no kings with different surnames in the Tang Dynasty. At the beginning of the founding of the country, there were eight kings with different surnames. This is not counting the Turks and other Hu people who named kings."
Qin Lang is of course very clear about this period of history. At the beginning of the founding of the country, Li Tang gave titles and official positions very boldly.
Such as Du Fuwei, King of Wu, Luo Yi, King of Yan, Li Gui, King of Liang, Liu Jizhen, King of Pengcheng, Gao Kaidao, King Ji of Beiping, Hu Dayen, King of Dingxiang County, Li Xiaochang, King of Yi'an, etc.
Among them, Du Fuwei and Li Gui were named princes, and the others were county kings, including Luo Yi.
But there is one more important point, that is, although many of the kings with different surnames named by Li Yuanfeng were warlords in the late Sui Dynasty, such as Du Fuwei, the king of Jianghuai, Luo Yi who controlled the Youzhou area, and Li Gui who occupied Hexi.
But there are also some who were originally small forces. For example, Hu Dayen was originally a general under Dou Jiande, and later offered land in Hedong to join the Tang Dynasty.
And Li Xiaochang was originally the county magistrate of Huayin in the Sui Dynasty, but he came to the Tang Dynasty with such a large granary as Huayincang, plus his father was a high-ranking official in the Sui Dynasty, and Li Yuan was also married to the clan early, so he was also treated as a clan Conferred the title of king.
Except for Li Xiaochang, for several other kings, when they were named kings, Li Yuan also came to grant the country's surname Li, so the eight kings who had to be crowned kings in the end all became the surnames of the country, so it can be said that they are not considered different surnames. king.
Just like Li Shimin’s Zhenguan Dynasty, many kings with different surnames were granted. He granted the titles to Hu chieftains such as Turkic Tie Le, such as Ashinasheer, Ashina Momo, Ashina Simo, Zhisifali, Qibi Heli and the others, except for Yu Sheshe who changed his name to Qin Guozhong and recognized Qin Qiong as his adoptive father, the rest of them all got the surname of the country, and then they all honored the eldest princess.
So in the Wude and Zhenguan dynasties, apart from the real Li and Tang clans, other kings with different surnames were either naturalized Hu chieftains and generals, or they were given surnames to be kings.
The emperor granted Qin Lang the crown of Wei County King, but did not give the country the surname Li, and included such an operation as belonging, which means that this is a real king with a different surname.
According to the point of view of this era, bestowing a king is actually a very honorable thing, which means becoming a member of the royal family and the royal family.
It is different from the concept of changing clan and surname in later generations. People at this time accepted the national surname very much, especially the Hu people and generals.
For example, if Qin Lang bestows the country's surname as the Duke of Wei, then his family will be part of the royal family, enjoy the same treatment as the royal family, and be managed by the Zongzheng Temple. Qin Lang himself is the king of the county, and his eldest son will be the king of the county in the future. The other sons, no matter whether they have credit or not, one counts as one, starting with the title of county duke.
If Qin Lang became a naturalized king of Wei County, he would actually be at the same level and treatment as Li Daozong, Li Shentong, and Li Xiaogong, the famous clan kings.
It must be one level worse than the treatment of the prince.
If the country's surname is not given, the normal king of Wei County will only be inherited by his eldest son, and even he has to inherit it by special decree, otherwise he may be degraded. It is the meritorious deeds that give grace to another title.
Qin Lang actually prefers to be surnamed Qin, and it doesn't make much sense to change his surname to Li.
Of course, this also means that Qin Lang will become the first real king with a different surname in the Tang Dynasty.
If you exclude the posthumous title given to the queen's father and the posthumous title given to some great meritorious deeds, it is indeed the first one.
After all, Qin Qiong's King Qi was given as a posthumous gift after death, and could not be inherited by his son. The prince of King Qi of Changsun Wuji's father was also given by his daughter, Empress Changsun.
"Teacher, you deserve this!"
"Your Majesty, you cannot be crowned king with a different surname!" Qin Lang declined again!
The rules are not so easy to break, the emperor deliberately put Qin Lang on fire.
Isn't the emperor not satisfied with his resigned official position?
But Qin Lang is not greedy for this assistant position, he just plans to resign slowly, the new emperor can't wait?
"Teacher, don't talk anymore. Today I just brought my second concubine to visit relatives. I only talk about family affairs and feelings, and nothing else."
Qin Lang glanced at the edict again.
Jin was granted the title of Duke of Wei, a total of 5,000 households were given real food, and a total of 10,000 mu of Yongye Tiantong was granted.
Looking at the young emperor who stretched out his arms and hugged Li Zhi's eldest son to amuse him, Qin Lang couldn't help but think of Zhang Jianzhi and other five kings with different surnames.
The five who launched the Shenlong coup to force Wu Zetian to power are the real kings of different surnames in the Tang Dynasty. After the incident was successful, Li Xian was all named county kings after his restoration. But the fate of these five kings in history was very tragic. Afraid, he was exempted from governing political affairs by enfeoffing Wang Mingsheng, and actually dismissed the prime minister. Then, with the help of Wu Sansi, all the five kings were tossed to death one by one.
Could it be said that the original intention of the emperor to crown himself king was to drive himself out of the political affairs hall?
After all, the system established during the Zhenguan period not only has the restriction that different surnames cannot be named kings, but also the restriction that the kings cannot be appointed as prime ministers or generals.
For example, the generals of the guards appointed by the princes are actually just false titles and do not count. The imperial court will not let the clans really control the military power.
If Qin Lang was crowned king of the county by Jin, he would no longer be the prime minister in the Zhengshitang.
If this is the case, then Chengqian throwing out a county prince is nothing. But, is Chengqian really so urgent?
Now Qin Lang's official titles are Taishi, Pingzhangjun State Affairs, remote leader of Zhennan Dadudu, Shifeng Wu'an Dudu, Lu Song Dudu, Shangzhu Kingdom, Wei Junwang, this rank is the highest Kaifu Yitong Sansi.
In addition, there is a post in the library where the Hongbunkan University Bachelor and National History are also studied.
The other part-time envoys also resigned.
In fact, there is only one job left, Pingzhang Army State Affairs, which is the prime minister of Zhengshitang.
It seems that the emperor doesn't even want Qin Lang to keep this only job.
