Chapter 1282 Adding a Different Surname to Wei County King

Three words.

not accept.

resign!

Luoyang Cherry Island, Taishi Mansion.

For the fourth time, Qin Lang asked the emperor to resign from his 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 them.

The door of Qin's family on Cherry Island was wide open.

"I'm in modest clothes today, and I don't have to be so formal to accompany my two concubines to visit relatives."

Today, Li Yin wears a black soft-footed headband, a scarlet red robe, a golden belt around his waist, and deerskin 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 Concubine Qin Liangdi and the title of Zhaoyi to Qin Liangyuan, becoming the earliest 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 and Zuo Wuwei General, and gave solid food to seal 1,000 households, a total of 1,500 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 boy.

After Li Xian paid his respects, he turned around and pulled out a little carrot head from his mother, "Brother, come and meet 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.

Concubine Qin Shu smiled and said, "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 was the father's younger sister and married his mother's elder brother, so she was 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 named his younger sister Li Lizhi as the Taiping Princess, and 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, quickly refused, but Li Yin said that it was nothing at all.

After the Xuanwu Gate passed, Li Shimin bestowed a beautiful marriage to Qin Lang, prepared a dowry in advance, bought a luxurious dowry for his daughter, and even gave a 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."

Holding hands, the emperor and Qin Lang looked extremely cordial.

"The teacher asked for resignation from the part-time job again and again, 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. If you come today, tell the teacher yourself, and I will agree."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Don't worry!"

Chengqian came up with another edict, "I asked Li Baiyao, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, to draft it, and 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 up, Li Baiyao's literary talent is really good, his essays are parallel, four and six, citing scriptures and classics, and a long chapter is eloquent. Fortunately, Qin Lang also has poetry and books in his belly now, so he can understand this kind of edict.

But after watching it, I was still very shocked.

"The minister dare not accept the order!"

"The grand master made great contributions in the two dynasties, no one can doubt his achievements, and he is completely worthy of this reward!"

Qin Lang's breathing was somewhat short of breath.

It's not that Li Yin's high reward made him too excited, but that the reward was too high, which made him feel a bit bad. He suspected that Li Yin was planning to attack him.

Prince Wei!

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, and different surnames cannot be named kings. 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 barbarian kings."

Of course, Qin Lang was also very clear about this period of history. Li Tang was quite bold in giving titles and official positions at the beginning of the founding of the country.

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 both crowned princes, and the others were county princes, including Luo Yi.

But one thing is more important, 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.

Therefore, in the two dynasties of Wude and Zhenguan, apart from the real Li Tang clan, other surnames were named kings, either they were naturalized Hu chieftains and generals, or they were given surnames to be kings.

However, the emperor granted Qin Lang the title of Duke of Wei, but did not confer the country's surname Li, which means that this is a real king with a different surname.

According to the point of view of this era, bestowing the king is actually a very honorable thing, which means becoming a member of the royal family and becoming a member of the royal family.

It is different from the concept of people in later generations that it is not good to change the clan and surname. 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 was naturalized and named Wei Junwang, 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 prince's treatment.

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.

In fact, Qin Lang still 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 Datang.

If you exclude the posthumous title given to the queen's father and the posthumous posthumous posthumous title given to some great meritorious deeds, it is indeed the first one.

After all, Qin Qiong's King Qi was a posthumous gift 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 it!"

"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 the fire.

Doesn't the emperor think that the official position he resigned is not enough?

But Qin Lang is not greedy for the position of chief assistant, he just plans to resign slowly, the new emperor can't wait?

"Teacher, don't talk about it anymore. Today I just brought my second concubine to visit my relatives. I only talk about family affairs and feelings, nothing else."

Qin Lang glanced at the edict again.

The Jin Dynasty granted Wei Guogong a total of 5,000 households with real food and 10,000 mu of Yongye Tiantong.

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, and then with the help of Wu Sansi, all the five kings were tossed to death one by one.

Could it be 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 restricted people with different surnames from being crowned kings, but also restricted that kings could not be 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 the king of the county by Jin, he would no longer be the prime minister in the political affairs hall.

If this is the case, then Chengqian throwing out a county prince is nothing. But, is Chengqian really so urgent?

Today, Qin Lang's official titles are Taishi, Pingzhangjun State Affairs, Remote Commander of Zhennan Grand Governor, World Governor of Wu'an, Governor of Lu Song, Shangzhu Kingdom, King of Wei County, and this rank is the highest Kaifu Yitong Sansi.

In addition, there is a post in the library where a bachelor of Hongwenguan also majors in national history.

The other part-time envoys also resigned.

In fact, there is only one job left, Pingzhangjun State Affairs, which is the prime minister of Zhengshitang.

It seemed that the emperor didn't even want Qin Lang to keep this only job.
