In December, Fukai's court minister Shangshu said, "since the first month of last year, luanyu has been driving several times, not to mention living in peace. Now I am half a year old. The temple and the country enjoy the ceremony of sacrifice and travel. The ceremony of celebrating Wanshou, Zhengdan and winter solstice is brief. It was two years since lashuo's death. At the age of 18, the general of the law was Zhou, and the suburb was already divined. The emperor's precept said, "if you worship heaven and earth, you will feel sincere, and if you neglect it, you will suffer." Today, the six dragons roam far and wide without a day. In case of ice and snow blocking the way, Yuanzheng will not be able to bow and hold the jade and silk in front of God. How can your majesty be safe? And the border area is desolate and cold, especially in the middle of winter. Ministers and other places in the city, eat rich, think about the holy body, fatigue, fundamental emptiness, looking at the dust, worry like drunk. "I'm very glad that I can enjoy it in person."

In February 1519, the 14th year of Zhengde, Jiafu returned to Beijing, and immediately told the Ministry of Rites: "the governor's military affairs are powerful, and Zhu Shou, the general, the commander-in-chief, the grand master, and the Duke of Zhenguo, sent to Liangji, visited Dongyue, worshipped the sacred statue and prayed for the people." Mao Cheng and other officials were shocked and said: "Your Majesty is the son of heaven and earth, inheriting the ancestral industry, but you know that your majesty has the title of emperor. Today, the "governor's military affairs, the mighty general's army, the Taishi, and the Duke of Zhenguo" are unknown. If you make such an order, your majesty will do the same. If you add this number, your majesty will do the same. Who is the recipient? If the crown prince has not been built and wants to tell all the famous mountains and rivers, he will send envoys to take away the coins, which is enough for him to respect. Why bow to gods and offer precious incense, just like the Buddha and the elder? " Because of the history of five can not. No report.

Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, rebelled in Jiangxi Province. The emperor went to the south to show his power. He stayed in the capital for more than ten years. Please come back.

According to the story of Han common people (Zhu gaoxu, king of Han Dynasty), Mao Cheng asked him to return it to the temple in the suburbs of Beijing and offer his captives for killing. No.

The eunuch king hall guards Zhejiang Province, so please build the ancestral hall. The emissary of the king of Western Han Hua begged for an extra 90000 Jin of tea. Mao Cheng tries hard and doesn't listen. Wang Qiong framed Peng Ze and Mao Cheng confessed his innocence.

Welcome Shizong

After the collapse of emperor Wuzong in Ming Dynasty, Liang Chu, the great Bachelor of Mao chengkai, Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, Cui yuan, the son-in-law, and Wei Fu, the eunuch, welcomed emperor Shizong in Anlu. When it comes, I will meet with you, and some will discuss the use of the emperor's ceremony. Mao Cheng said, "this is what it is now. Why should it be added later? Should the ceremony of persuasion and resignation be abolished

On the sixth day of emperor Shizong's Jianfu reign in the Ming Dynasty, there was a purpose to offer sacrifices and honorifics to the king. At the Wu Wu Wu meeting on May 7, Mao Cheng held a meeting of civil and military officials, and said, "emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty appointed King Tao as the crown prince, and Liu Jing, the grandson of King Xiao of the Chu Dynasty, as king Ding Tao. The crown prince is also his father. At that time, Sikong Shidan thought that his kindness and righteousness were best. Today, when your majesty inherits the great rule, it is appropriate to follow the story of King Tao. Zhu houxuan, King Chongren, the second son of King Yi, inherits queen Xing and worships King Xing. The author also studies that the son of King Yi of Pu'an in Song Dynasty, who succeeded emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty, was Emperor Yingzong of Song Dynasty. Sima Guang said that king YIZUN of Pu was a high-ranking official and a great nobility. He was called Uncle Wang but not his name. Fan Zhen also said, "since your majesty has studied Renzong, if you take King Pu as an example, you will not be justified." Zhao Zongpu was the Duke of PU and was worshipped by the king of PU. Cheng Yi said: "to be a man of the latter means to be his parents, and to be born to be his uncle's or uncle's parents. This is also the great virtue of his life. However, the meaning of the birth is supreme and great, so it should not be called differently. If you say "Uncle Huang, Uncle Wang of a certain country", then you are both orthodox and respected. " Today, the king of Xingxian is the younger brother of emperor Xiaozong and the father of his majesty, which is exactly the same as king Yi of Pu'an. Your majesty should call Xiaozong huangkao, and change his name to Xingxian king, which is "Uncle Xingxian king", and his concubine, which is "aunt Xingxian Princess". All the people who offer sacrifices to the king and the imperial concubines who write on them all call themselves "nephew emperor", then they are Orthodox, private relatives, and can be regarded as the law of all ages On the discussion, the emperor said angrily: "parents can be more easily, if they are!" Let's discuss it again.

On the 24th day of Yihai, Mao Chengfu met with the court officials and said, "Li is a man, and the latter is his son, from the emperor to the common people. His Majesty was the only one to offer the prince. He not only joined the grand unification, but also worshipped the ancestral temple. He wanted Zhu houxuan, the king of Chongren, to offer the king's sacrifice. As for the title, your majesty should be called "Uncle Xing Xian Wang" and "nephew emperor". It can be based on the theory of song Chengyi. In the system of this dynasty, the emperor respected the emperor in Zongfan, and stopped calling himself uncle and uncle. He called himself emperor but not his name. Today, the king of Xingxian is called "the king of the emperor's uncle", and he also calls himself "the king of the emperor's uncle". The canon of respect has arrived, and the officials dare not discuss it again. " Because of Cheng Yi's "Dai Peng Si Yong Yi Pu Wang Li Shu" into view. If the emperor did not obey, he ordered the ceremony to be held before the examination and discussed it again. When Mao chengnai returned to the meeting, the court officials said, "if you wait for the meeting, please change your name to King Xingxian as your uncle. There is no difference in the respect of Ming Datong. However, if the word "Huang" is added above "Uncle", then no one can be equal to his Majesty's uncle or uncle. If the word "big" is added to the word "King", all the kings in the world will be merged. If the title of Xingxian king is established, the title of Princess will follow, and there is no royal concubine in the world to be respected. His majesty Kuang raised the whole world, so he was happy and did not violate his ambition. How could one family and one country support the Japanese language. This is what Confucius called a person who does things with propriety. It seems to be indecent to call other views of respecting relatives. Don't be careful about the imperial edict of emperor Wei and Ming. Don't refer to Cheng Yi's opinion in detail. The most appropriate ceremony, or out of this And recorded the imperial edict of Wei Ming emperor. At that time, Emperor Rui wanted to praise his birth, but Jinshi Zhang Congfu resisted the fallacy of saying Li Guan. Emperor heart, hold Maocheng, etc. sparse for a long time. To August Geng chenshuo, and then ordered to discuss. Cheng et al. Replied: "the ceremony made by the former king was based on human feelings. Wu Zong had no children and had no brothers. He helped his majesty to be among the grandchildren of the temple. It's Wuzong who takes his majesty as his younger brother and studies Xiaozong. There's no doubt about his mother's kindness and longevity. You can take care of your private relatives again? " Sparse into, emperor not Yi, re stay in.

In the event, Xing Huan was asked to discuss the emblem of Shao, the imperial concubine of xianmiao temple. Cheng said: "the birth of the Royal concubine to offer to the king is the result of your majesty. However, it is appropriate to take the examination of the emperor Xiaozong when he inherits the great rule, and his mother is the Empress Dowager. Emperor Xiaozong should be called imperial concubine in xianmiao, while his majesty should be called imperial concubine. In this way, Yi Lun is both upright and benevolent. " It's a report.

In the month, the emperor came with his mother and imperial concubine, and the official ceremony was held to discuss the ceremony. Mao Cheng and others, please enter Dong'an gate from Chongwen gate. It is suggested that the emperor should not enter the east gate of the Ming Dynasty from the left gate of Zhengyang. Mao Cheng and others hold the same view. The emperor set his own instrument and learned to enter from the middle gate.

Zhang Cong went back to Dali or Wen, and the emperor was interested in it. By the end of September, Mao Cheng and other officials had gathered more public opinions. Mao Cheng and others knew that they had no choice but to seek help from the cabinet. They called the king of Xing "emperor" and the imperial concubine "empress", and took the Empress Dowager's order to do it. Nai Shuyan said: "I've done my best to make a fool of myself. If you want to comfort your holy heart and make it suitable for the present and not hostile to your feelings, and in line with the ancient and not contrary to your righteousness, then there is a secret but not a share. The minister and other officials have their own departments, but they dare not take charge without authorization. " On October 2, Emperor Gengchen added the name of "Xing Xian Di" to the order of Empress Dowager cishou, and his concubine called "Xing Guo empress dowager", and his concubine Shao also honored as "Empress Dowager", declaring that China and foreign countries were willing to sacrifice the king. Although emperor Gu reluctantly followed the court discussion, he was still in his mind. On December 11, when he was ugly, he repeated the Edict and called himself Emperor. In the cabinet, Yang Tinghe and others were granted the imperial approval, while Mao Cheng fought against Shu, and together with Jiu Qing, Qiao Yu and others, the emperor refused.

In the first month of the first year of Jiajing (1522), three small palaces were destroyed after the Qingning palace. Mao Chengfu thought that if he spoke, he would be remonstrated by court officials, and the matter would be stopped.

Mao Chengduan Liang is a man of learning and practice, and he is persistent in discussing things. Emperor Jiajing wanted to respect his birth. He sent the middle officials to order him and knelt down to check his head. Mao Cheng was startled and helped him up. The man said, "Shangyi also. It says, "who has no parents, how can I not be extended?" I will pray for the public to discuss Because of the bag, the gold is clear. Mao Cheng Fen ran said: "I'm against you. I can't attend the ceremony. Only when we go away, we will not discuss with each other. " The emperor Jiajing often refused to stay.

In February of the second year of Jiajing (1523), he was very ill, so he asked for help again. When the boat came to prosperity, he died. As for dingce Gong, Prince Mao Cheng, Taifu, and the hereditary commander of Yin Jinyi, they all know that their words are not accepted. Emperor Jiajing was afraid of Mao Cheng. Although he disobeyed his orders, his courtesy did not decline. After getting the disease, send the doctor to consult and give the medicine. His death is also deeply mourned. As a gift to Shaofu, Shi Wenjian.
