Chapter 1290 Weakness
Wei Renpu, whose courtesy name was Daoji, was from Weizhou, Henan Province and was the prime minister of Zhou Shizong.
People at that time praised him for being quiet, frugal, tolerant and generous.
Words: "A little bit of energy, and the effort is so happy that the wind is so happy."
The three prime ministers left by Emperor Shizong of Zhou were Fan Zhi, Wang Pu, and Wei Renpu, among which Wang Pu was closer to Zhao Kuangyin. Fan Zhi was deeply hated and stubborn, so he was depressed.
Wei Renpu made efforts and directly organized the court officials to resist, but he was unable to make up for the situation and could only die of illness.
Of course, now that Zhao Song has collapsed for several years, Wei Renpu has been angry, so he has lived a longer life.
Sixty-one years old, it can be said that he has died.
You know, Li Jia's father, Li Wei, was only about fifty years old and died.
After all, Li Jia met him for the last time.
Wei Renpu is as thin as a thorny bone. He is slender, but now he is curled up in a ball. He is very pitiful. Seeing the emperor coming in person, he struggled and said:
"The old minister has been extremely honored in his life, but he has a thorn in his heart and is indignant."
Li Jia looked at him, found a seat to sit down, shook her head, and said, "It's all over, why are you so angry?"
"The old minister won't be happy if he doesn't vomit—"
Wei Renpu lost his open-mindedness and tolerance as he had been, and he seemed particularly stingy at this time. He frowned and said with a sad face: "The country that Emperor Shizong taught was actually usurped by Zhao Kuangyin. It was all my carelessness, which gave this thief the opportunity."
As he said that, Wei Renpu talked about the shameful things of Fan Zhi, Wang Pu and others for a while, as well as the Chen Qiao Incident, and the threat of Luo Yanhuan with a knife.
Finally, he held the emperor's hand tightly, his eyes revealed the last bit of light, and said:
"Your Majesty, the genius, has unified the country from south to north, and has overturned the troubled times. Now that the prosperous times have arrived, I have died to the point."
"At least, my descendants are no longer afraid of the threats of those vulgar warriors-"
At this point, he lay down stiffly and stopped talking. Seeing that he had inhaled more and exhaled less, the emperor couldn't help but sigh.
After a while, the crying sounded, and Wei Renpu Sanzi burst into tears.
Because of Wei Renpu, the second son Yin was a man. Although he was not very talented, he was simple and kind and filial.
The emperor could not stand this scene, so he hurriedly left, then sighed and said to several prime ministers: "Mr. Wei has been tolerant and generous throughout his life, and has been in charge of his duties and politics. He can be said to be a model of literati. If you posthumous title is given to "Wenzhong"!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty—" At this time, Wei Renpu's eldest son Wei Xianmei couldn't help but thank him when he heard this.
The posthumous title of literati is the first to be Wenzhen, and Wei Zheng in the early Tang Dynasty, which is like this. Secondly, Wenzhong.
In history, due to Wei Renpu's uncooperation, he had no posthumous title for decades after his death, which was very indecent for a person's appearance.
Later, Wei Xianxin, the third son of Taizong's daughter, was married to him and after some plea, he got "Xuan Yi", which was even considered a second-rate review.
To resolve the affairs of the king and win the reputation behind him is the greatest pursuit of the literati.
"I posthumously awarded the title of Xianggong of Wei as the Secretary of the Secretariat, and gave him two thousand stagnants of money, and then pursued his title as Zhongrong's son, and his eldest son inherited his title."
The deceased is the greatest, and respect for the prime minister is actually respect for the imperial power.
In a sense, general power and imperial power complement each other.
Of course, granting a title is also a kind of recognition from Li Jia.
You should know that among the literati, there are only Ezhou Hou of Zhao, Kangzhou Bo of Sun Zhao, Fuzhou Bo of Deng Bin, Guizhou Bo of Sun Guangxian, Zhongqianzi of Hu Bin, Yongzhou Bo of Li Huai, and Xingzhou Bo of Wang Ning.
These seven people are basically the only seven remaining lords among the literati.
Nothing else, these people accompanied Li Jia from Lingnan to the north for ten years and deserved this title.
Now that Wei Renpu has passed away, he has been given a title again. In a sense, this may form a tradition - the prime minister is granted a title after his death.
Chasing the Viscount, son is the baron, and grandson is the captain, is also a kind of compromise with Yinfeng!
In the Northern Song Dynasty, martial artists were all military governors until their deaths, and literati were just dukes of state to be named kings. For example, Qin Hui was appointed as the prince of the feudal prince by Emperor Gaozong before his death. Soon after, Qin Hui died and was awarded the title of King Shen.
Later, Ningzong deprived him of him, and later Shi Miyuan reported to restore the title of prince. It can be seen that the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty actually did not hate Qin Yi.
When Wei Xianmei heard this, she was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed again.
The literati on the side were also full of surprise. Can they still enfeoff viscount? Isn’t this a bit too much?
The warriors who came with each other looked at each other, but actually didn't care much about it.
Among the titles of the Tang Dynasty, the viscount barons have the most, and they are not worth it.
After the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty, barons and viscounts were basically arranged for the vassal states, military governors and military leaders in those places. After a rough calculation, there were no more than 100 or eighty, which was not worth anything at all.
If the Count is surrendered to the valiant lieutenant according to the emperor's hereditary arrangement, he will no longer surrender and will be hereditary.
And the marquis and dukes are viscounts.
The count below, the lower, and the lower, until there is no.
In other words, in the eyes of the nobles, below the earl, they are not considered lords at all, but at most they are wealthy civilians of two or three generations.
Their descendants can be hereditary.
The pride in it is self-evident.
Let me add that those surrendered kings also replaced them instead of inheritance, at most they inherited several generations.
After showing Jun's grace, Li Jia left the Wei Mansion and returned to the palace.
There was Deng Guangxian in front and Wei Renpu in the back. It was quite rare that two of them had passed away in his prime minister group in ten years.
But, when I turned my head and thought, in this era, the work of documents was exhausted and I was so old, it was normal to die.
There are not many emperors who have died at the age of 60 from Qin Shihuang to now.
"I really worry about eating carrots and I also care about the lifespan of the prime minister. I really should think about myself, how many long lives can I live as an emperor?"
Li Jia judged herself: "Women's sex, government affairs, diseases, and three major factors affecting lifespan, and the other two are the same. I have really gone through this aspect of women's sex."
The number of concubines who were properly titled in the harem reached about twenty people, and the number of concubines who had skin relatives and were even more difficult to measure.
If this continues, what should I do?
I am only thirty years old and I am still thinking about living a little longer. The emperor hasn't lived enough!
"No, I can't continue like this anymore-"
Li Jia made up her mind.
"Your Majesty, which concubine do you choose to sleep today?"
The eunuch brought a thin book with the names of the concubines written on it. Li Jiawangzhi was trembling with trepidation: "The color is a scraper, how many pieces are there!"
"No, I'm in a bad mood today, it's true..."
"Your Majesty, Sister Fu Concubine asked for a meeting--"
Li Jia squinted her eyes and shouted in her heart that it was a weakness to challenge me!
"Let them in!"
