At dusk, the Sanjin Guild Hall.

It was still the quiet courtyard back then, and the Minister of Personnel and a bunch of old Xi'er squatted in the courtyard and slapped in the past and slapped in the past.

The noodles are still those, such as cut noodles, hand-rolled noodles, ramen, fried noodles... vinegar, those vinegar, old vinegar, rice vinegar, laba vinegar, balsamic vinegar, white vinegar... and the ever-changing braided garlic.

The difference is that the Tianguan has changed from Yang Bo to Wang Guoguang, and the people who eat noodles together have also changed from Huo Ji, Zhang Siwei, Wang Jiaping, Han Ji to Liu Dongxing, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, Chu Jing and the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, Zhang Yangmeng and others.

They were all wearing blue-clothed horn belts, and they had been going to Dashamahu Hutong to celebrate for three consecutive days, and then returned to the guild to have noodles.

There was no other sound in the yard except for the slap and slap and slap and slap. The old Xi'ans still adhered to the fine tradition of eating noodles and not speaking, so as not to choke in their nostrils.

After a while, Wang Guoguang burped loudly with all the soup in the bowl of sea. Then he took the towel handed over by his son and wiped the sweat all over his neck.

Don’t look at Lao Wang like this, he is actually already seventy-six years older than Taishi Zhang, who has been so old that he is thirteen years older.

However, he still still drinks and eats well. He is like a wife when he is young and strong. He is especially fond of a wife. He is a man who is interested in the eighth year of his life, and is interested in official business and bribery. As for the fishing and the groom who is promising and lewd every night, he has never heard of it before. According to Lao Wang, this is the effect of his own 100-ton bottle of vinegar every day. Some people say that this old Xier is good at the art of the room, so he is old but still has a strong reputation.

During his lifetime, Grand Tutor Zhang Wenzhong often exchanged skills with Wang Tianguan. He was a strong-willed person, so how could he let a long-term old man compete? In order to suppress Lao Wang in that aspect, he embarked on the road of taking drugs...

Thinking that no one will discuss with him again, Wang Tianguan couldn't help but say sadly: "Oh, it's tasteless, tasteless..."

Liu Dongxing, who was standing beside him, rolled his eyes. "You have added half a bottle of vinegar."

"It's like Grand Master Zhang." Wang Guoguang sighed, "I thought my third Wen Zhenggong of the Ming Dynasty was stable."

"Oh, yes..." The old monk nodded and agreed. "The report is not given a title of 'Wenzheng', so he should also give 'Wenzhen'."

"It's okay to be 'Wencheng' even if it's not good."

"Wen Zhong, it's really low. What's going on with your Ministry of Rites?"

"The Ministry of Rites can only give Wen Zhong the highest order, and the emperor will carry it up." Liu Dongxing, the Minister of Rites, said innocently: "Who knew that he had found it intact."

"Oh, this matter is a mess..." The old Xi'ans sighed again.

Civil officials of all dynasties valued posthumous titles even higher than their honors during their lifetime. The so-called final conclusion is that they are related to their historical status. You should know that the conditions for posthumous titles given by the imperial court have always been very harsh. The Han Dynasty stipulated that only those who were granted marquis were qualified to obtain posthumous titles; the Tang Dynasty stipulated that officials of the third rank or above were qualified to obtain posthumous titles.

When it comes to this dynasty, although civil and military officials are not qualified to be of sufficient rank, but those who have worked hard or work hard can also be given a special posthumous title, but they must be taken from the top. However, it is also stipulated that:

'If you meet a civil and military minister who deserves a posthumous title, you will be checked for your life experience. The court and the country must have a comprehensive opinion, and the country's merits are well-off and the country, and the public opinion is unfair and flawed. Only then will you ask for a slaughter. If the industry is normal, even if the official rank is high, you will not be able to be compared with it.'

Therefore, this dynasty was even more stingy. There were many people who did not receive posthumous titles from the second-rank Shangshu. According to the posthumous titles of this dynasty, only officials from Hanlin origin could be posthumous titles of "Wen". Those who received posthumous titles of "Wenzheng" were only Li Dongyang and Xie Qian, the Grand Secretary of the Hongzhi Dynasty!

In addition, Li Dongyang was ridiculed by people at that time because of a dark history of Qu Liu Jin:

‘Wenzheng has always been named Wang Fan, but now Wenzheng is hard to bear. The strong wind blows down the sycamore tree, and others will discuss their shortcomings and strengths.’

But Li Dongyang didn't care. He knew that thousands of years later, people only remembered that he was Li Wenzheng, but they would not remember much of his dark history. Therefore, when he was dying, Yang Yiqing revealed that after he would become the first "Wen Zhenggong" of the Ming Dynasty, the dying Li Dongyang actually got up and kowtowed to Yang Yiqing.

The weight of "Wen Zheng" can be seen. It is no wonder that the highest ideal of civil officials is to be named Taifu for life and posthumously named Wen Zheng for life.

Wen Zhen is one level lower than Wen Zheng. In fact, Wen Zhen was the highest posthumous title in the Tang Dynasty. For example, Wei Zheng, Song Jing, and Zhang said that these wise ministers were all posthumously named "Wen Zhen".

In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, it still followed the Tang system. However, because it was necessary to avoid the taboo of Emperor Renzong of Song, it was changed to "Wenzhen". Several of the previous posthumous titles of Wenzhen, such as Li Fang and Wang Dan, were also changed to Wenzhen Duke.

When it comes to this dynasty, there is no need to avoid the taboos of the previous dynasty. However, because Sima Guang said, "Wenzheng is extremely beautiful and cannot be added again," Wenzhen could only surrender.

Even so, there was only one Yang Shiqi in this dynasty who received this posthumous title.

In fact, in the 11th year of Wanli, when Xu Jie died, the court wanted to give him the posthumous title of Wenzhen, but Zhao Hao was ruined.

What a joke, Mr. Xu has long been a reactionary example in Jiangnan. Is it going to make a fuss about posthumous title of Wenzhen?

According to Zhao Hao's intention, either he would not give a posthumous title or he would give him a Wen Gonggong, but it was not his turn to decide at that time. Zhang Juzheng felt guilty about his teacher, and considered that he would inevitably be criticized for a hundred years later, so he would be more kind. So he gave Xu Jie a "Wen Duan".

According to the posthumous titles stipulated in the dynasty, Zheng and Zhen, the orders are Cheng, Zhong, Duan, Ding, Jian; Yi, Su, Yi, Xian, Zhuang; Jing, Yu, Jie, Yi, Jing, Mu; Zhao, Ke, Gong, Xiang, Qing; Xiu, Kang, Jie, Min, Da; Tong, Jie, An, Lie, He.

Therefore, Wencheng ranked third, and only Liu Bowen and Wang Shouren were given posthumous titles.

The fourth is Wen Zhong, which is currently only obtained by Yang Tinghe and Zhang Cong.

If you can get the fifth posthumous title, Xu Jie will have fun underground.

Before his death, Zhang Juzheng had explained to the emperor, ministers, and even the six ministers of the ministers, and made many arrangements for personnel and state affairs, but he did not consider his own affairs, including his posthumous title.

First, he is confident. He is a living Grand Tutor and has exceeded the level of "Life Entity Taifu". So "Dead Posthumous Posthumous Wen Zheng" should not be a foregone conclusion, is it natural?

Second, pride is not allowed to be involved. A real man stands in the world, and his merits and demerits should be judged by others! Does anyone think that his achievements will be inferior to those of Yang Yiqing and Xie Qian?

However, his good student only gave him a literary life...

Master Zhang knew about it under the spring, but he was afraid that the coffin board could not be suppressed.

"It's not only a posthumous title, but also a little bit weak to his son. It only embodies the Shang Bao Si Cheng, which completely does not reflect the eternal merits of the Grand Master." Zhang Yangmeng and Section Chief Zhang said sarcastically.

"Maybe there will be more kindness in the future." Wang Guoguang frowned slightly. No matter what, Zhang Juzheng had the kindness of knowing him, and he was also his old friend for many years. Moreover, as a general of the Wanli New Policy, he still admired Zhang Juzheng very much.

Although I always like to cheat on drugs, I won’t win…

"It's unprecedented to stop working for eight days?" He then asked Grandmaster Zhang to make up for it.

"That's because the emperor is lazy." Zhang Yangmeng sneered: "The emperor has been ill all these years and has not been to court for a month or two. How can he get so many diseases at a young age? It's just lazy!"

"Taehyung, be careful!" Chu Ji, who was so iron-faced, snorted unhappily: "Is Fengpan's lesson not enough?!"

"Yes, don't just let the wind go..." Zhang Yangmeng hurriedly said.

"Oh, it's a pity for Ziwei. If it weren't for... he should have taken over the position of chief minister." Wang Guoguang, Liu Dongxing and others sighed and lit a cigarette to remember Xiaowei.

The jealous party has always been known for its soft figure, low-key and pragmatic nature. They use business to support officials, promote business with officials, and have a strong sense of fellow villagers, and they have joined forces to conquer the world.

There is also the basic foundation of the Northwest. If Governor Xuanda and the Governor of the Trilateral Territory want to do a stable job, they have to follow the old Xier's methods. The upper, middle and lower routes are all very sound, so the foundation is particularly stable, and anyone in the dynasty must maintain cooperation with them.

Of course, the jealous party also paid great attention to establishing good relations with those in power. Yan Ge Lao, Xu Ge Lao, Gao Ge Lao and Zhang Taishi were all loyal supporters of the Prime Minister. They also bet on both sides and bets again and again, and were preserved in the fierce battles in the court. They were always a powerful force that the Ming Dynasty cannot ignore.

For example, when Gao Zhang fought fiercely, Han Ji became Gao Gong's number one horseman, and the jealous party also generally supported Gao Ge Lao. However, under the instruction of Yang Bo, Wang Guoguang stood on the side of Zhang Juzheng and revealed the inside story of Han Ji and Gao Gong's plan to Zhang Xianggong. Zhang Juzheng could only see the opportunity and use Feng Bao to give Gao Gong a fatal blow.

Afterwards, he also wanted to restrain the growing Jiangnan Gang. Zhang Juzheng gave the vital Minister of Personnel to Wang Guoguang, not Zhao Jin.

Although Han Ji and a group of losers who were on the wrong team were eliminated, the jealous party was generally preserved. The big guys who stood in the right team would naturally take care of them. For example, Han Ji's son Han Yu was a Juren, who was the Juren two years ago. If Zhao Hao was not available, he would still be the prime minister in the future...

Over the past fifteen years, the jealous party has made great efforts to help Zhang Xianggong, and has grown again and surpassed the past.

The only drawback is that when Yang Bo and Wang Chonggu jointly appointed the second-generation leader Zhang Siwei, when Altan was promoted to the tribute, he communicated with Wang Chonggu, the uncle of the then Governor of Xuanda, and leaked the secrets of the cabinet, and had to resign.

But Gao Gong quickly recovered Xiao Wei and was preparing to send him into the cabinet. However, he was blocked by his competitor Yin Shidan. Yin Shidan's students impeached Zhang Siwei's father and his father colluded with officials and businessmen, monopolized salt invasion, destroyed Kaizhong, and endangered the border defense.

The Zhang family is the richest man in Shanxi, so naturally he can't stand the investigation? In order to prevent the matter from getting worse, he had to resign again in exchange for a break.

Later, Yang Bo had to recover at the age of 70, waving the flag for Gao Gong and winning another chance for him. Unexpectedly, the scandal of Zhang Siwei bribing Gao Gong for 800 gold in order to seek resumption was revealed.
