Chapter 1929: The beginning of official governance, posthumous titles for living people(2/2)

Heart.

If you can corrupt hundreds, tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands of people during your term of office to the point of wealth that will never be obtained in a lifetime, then even if you have to sacrifice one life, how can you stop the successors? And this is still possible.

, there are still many people who are lucky. If they are not caught, wouldn't they make a profit? Just like later generations know that poison is so powerful that once caught, it will lead to death, but it is still forbidden and difficult to stop.

What's more, the punishment is lighter than the poison. I don't know how much corruption?

Pang Tong said that a living person can receive a "posthumous title". Although there are differences, the meaning is very accurate.

You will reap what you sow, and you will always have to pay back what you sow. Since you have obtained extremely high benefits, you will naturally have to bear great risks. Fei Qian is basically the "initiator" now, and then he follows

Pang Tong and Xun You in the back are the "coercors". If the Fei Latent Territory breaks up, it is basically equivalent to the whole family being in the same pot. Even if they are not dead, they will be imprisoned. However, Pang Tong and Xun You have the opportunity to "abandon the dark and turn to the light", so the risk is relatively low.

It is said to be a lower level, but for other gentry children, there is basically no risk, so how can they feel any pressure and how can they do their best in doing things?

Now, Fei Qian said that if you want to be an official, you can, but the kind of "official" who used to drink wine, sing coloratura, keep it in your pocket, and lie to superiors and subordinates is gone now!

If you do well, you will be rewarded. If you do not do well, sorry, you will be given a "living posthumous title" for the rest of your life!

The posthumous title system was widely implemented by the Zhou royal family and various countries in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, until Qin Shihuang believed that the posthumous title had the suspicion of "the son speaks to his father, and the minister speaks to the emperor", so he abolished it. It was not until the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty that the posthumous title system was restored.

The so-called posthumous title is to use one or two words to make a general evaluation of a person's life, which can be regarded as a final conclusion. Therefore, it is very valued by the nobles. For example, Liu Xie was called "Xian" after his death. He is now alive.

Of course there is no, and the so-called "Young Emperor" is not a real posthumous title, it is just a title for convenience by later generations, such as Emperor Zhi and Emperor Chong. The same is true. And there are some fun ones, such as Sun Quan was called "Emperor Zhi" after his death.

He is called the "Great Emperor", and this is unprecedented in China.

Maybe just a little less "canine"?

Fei Qian thought maliciously.

It’s just that many things were strictly prohibited at the beginning and later collapsed. When the posthumous titles first started, they were all one or two characters before the Sui Dynasty, but starting from the Tang Dynasty, they began to be spoiled. The number of characters in the emperor’s posthumous titles gradually increased.

, Xuanzong Li Longji decided to change the posthumous titles of the late emperors to seven characters, such as Li Yuan as "the great sage Shen Yao, the great emperor Guangxiao", and Li Shimin as "the great sage great Guangxiao emperor".

Afterwards, they started to imitate each other, and each one was better at playing. Among them, the best one was the 25-character posthumous title, "Chengtian, Guangyun, Shengde, Shengong, Ji, Ji, Ren, Xiaorui, Wu Duanyi, Qin'an, Hongwen and Destiny"

Emperor Gao"...

Now, what do scholars value most?

It’s the reputation of Menlin!

It’s a family legacy!
