The Ming Dynasty in history.
The civil officials who were posthumously awarded the title of Wen Zhong include Cao Nai, Yang Tinghe, Zhang Juzheng, Ye Xianggao, Sun Chengzong and others.
Cao Nai was the chief minister of the cabinet during the reign of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty. He died in the Battle of Tumu while following Zhu Qizhen in his personal expedition.
The following few people are all famous ministers in history.
Giving Li Banghua this posthumous title is neither far-fetched nor exaggerated.
Military generals who were posthumously awarded the title of "Zhongwu" include Chang Yuchun, Liu Rong, Zhang Yu, Xue Lu, Guo Deng and others.
Chang Yuchun was a famous general of the founding of the country.
Liu Rong, Zhang Yu and Xue Lu were famous generals in the Jingnan Campaign.
Guo Deng was a famous general during the Zhengtong and Jingtai periods, and personally experienced the Battle of Tumu.
Qin Liangyu is fully qualified to be on an equal footing with these people.
So Chongzhen gave her the posthumous title of Zhongwu.
In addition to the posthumous title, there are many other honors such as Shangzhuguo, Guanglu Dafu, Taishi, etc.
In the following days, Chongzhen, who was too sad, began to attend court less frequently.
At first, I attended the morning court every day, and then every other day.
Every two days, I have an early morning meeting...
July 29th.
The court officials gathered in the main hall, waiting for the morning court session.
Footsteps sounded, and Wang Chengen walked out and announced, "Your Majesty has ordered that you will not attend court today."
"Why don't you attend court again?" Cabinet Chief Minister Fan Jingwen began to complain: "Your Majesty hasn't attended court for six days."
"Yes!" Minister of War Wang Jiayan also complained: "There is military intelligence in Shaanxi, and there are new developments in the war in Liaodong. Your Majesty needs to make a decision on these matters personally!"
"Haha!" The Minister of Revenue Xie Xie Sanbin said sarcastically, "Is this just a trivial matter?"
"Trivial matters?" Wang Jiayan turned his head and squinted at Xie Sanbin: "How dare you say these things are trivial matters? Do you know what military and national affairs are? Anything related to war is not trivial, let alone trivial matters."
Seeing that Xie Sanbin was still so disdainful, Wang Jiayan said sarcastically: "It's you in the Ministry of Revenue who only care about money every day. You all stink of copper."
Xie Sanbin rolled his eyes at him and said, "If you think it stinks, don't ask the Ministry of Revenue for money!"
"That's not the Ministry of Revenue's money, that's His Majesty and the court's money, you're just in charge of it!"
"You also know that I'm in charge, right? If you know, then be polite."
"Behave yourself, or I won't be polite."
"What? You want to fight? Come on! Whoever is afraid is a grandson!"
Seeing that order was about to get out of control, Wang Chengen shouted loudly: "Silence!"
As soon as they calmed down, Fan Jingwen couldn't wait to ask, "Eunuch Wang, have the official documents from the past few days been approved?"
Wang Chengen was the eunuch in charge of writing in the Imperial Household Department.
He would approve official documents under the instruction of Chongzhen.
Having an approval is equivalent to having an imperial decree.
The cabinet can then push the matters in the official documents down according to the procedures.
Chongzhen had not attended court for six days, and refused to meet with any of the cabinet members who requested a private audience.
The corresponding official documents were not even approved.
The cabinet is very anxious.
Wang Chengen said in a deep voice: "Please wait a little longer."
Without waiting for anyone to ask further questions, Wang Chengen quickly returned.
A group of ministers stood there staring at each other, feeling helpless.
After a while, they gathered around Gao Shiming, the seal holder of the Imperial Household Department, and tried to ask him about Chongzhen's situation.
"Eunuch Gao, why didn't His Majesty attend court for six consecutive days?"
"Yeah, what's going on?"
"Each ministry needs an imperial decree to handle official business. The Imperial Household Department is all under His Majesty's command. You must remind His Majesty in time!"
Amid the inquiries from the crowd, Gao Shiming smiled bitterly and said, "Don't ask. I don't know even if you ask."
"How could you not know?"
Gao Shiming spread his hands and said, "To be honest, I haven't seen your Majesty for five days."
"What?" Fan Jingwen was shocked: "I haven't seen Your Majesty for five days?"
"right."
"Then... who can see His Majesty?"
"Currently, only Wang Chengen and the eunuchs of the Palace of Heavenly Purity can see His Majesty. I'm afraid that others will not be able to see His Majesty in the near future."
Fan Jingwen asked worriedly, "Your Majesty...are you okay?"
Gao Shiming stared and replied: "Your Majesty is of course fine, he is probably just in a bad mood and doesn't want to see anyone!"
"That official document..."
"I can only urge Wang Chengen. I have no other choice."
After being urged, Wang Chengen handed a stack of red-marked documents to the cabinet that afternoon.
Just when everyone thought the matter would come to an end, news came out that night that Chongzhen was ill.
The next morning, the entrance of the Imperial Hospital was crowded with people.
The Imperial Medical Service of the Ming Dynasty was located south of the Imperial Observatory and east of the Ministry of Rites.
The head of the group was the Minister of Revenue, Xie Sanbin. He stood at the door of the Imperial Hospital and shouted inside: "Master Zhang, they are all waiting for you, come out quickly!"
"Yes, Master Zhang, if you don't come out, we will go in. If we go in, all the medicinal herbs inside will be useless!"
The head of the Imperial Medical Service was called the Yuanshi.
In order to save the medicinal materials, Zhang Yuanshi had no choice but to come out.
As soon as he showed up, everyone asked, "I heard that His Majesty urgently summoned the imperial physician to the palace at midnight yesterday. Who is sick?"
Envoy Zhang was embarrassed: "This is a palace matter, it is inconvenient to disclose it."
Everyone continued to ask questions.
But Zhang Yuanshi was stubborn and refused to say anything.
Everyone could only give up.
What people are best at is association.
In the eyes of court officials, Chongzhen was probably ill.
As for why he fell ill, the court officials also guessed it.
The pacification of Liao was a great event, and Chongzhen must have been very happy.
In fact, not only Chongzhen, but everyone in the Ming Dynasty was very happy.
But then came the news of the deaths of Li Banghua and Qin Liangyu.
This was definitely a tragic event for Chongzhen and the Ming Dynasty.
Especially Chongzhen's sad look, which was seen by everyone.
The "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" says: Anger hurts the liver, joy hurts the heart, thinking hurts the spleen, worry hurts the lungs, and fear hurts the kidneys.
Extreme joy and extreme sorrow are very harmful to your health.
Chongzhen, who was the emperor, first experienced great joy and then great sorrow.
Getting sick is inevitable.
Then rumors that Chongzhen was ill began to spread in the capital.
Once a rumor starts, it's hard to stop it.
You should know that Chongzhen’s father, Ming Guangzong Zhu Changluo, only lived to the age of 39.
His elder brother, Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjiao, lived to be twenty-two years old.
How old is Chongzhen this year?
Forty-two years old!
He may not seem very old, but compared to his father and brother, he is already very old.
The Jinyiwei originally wanted to stop the spread of rumors by arresting people.
But people only suspected that Chongzhen was sick, and did not say that his time was up.
The Jinyiwei had no reason to arrest anyone.
As a result, Chongzhen’s “illness” became more serious!
