Long live should be the standard of a monarch. Why was there a minister of "Long live the old man" in posthumous title in the Ming Dynasty?

Throughout the ages, "Long live" refers to the emperors and monarchs of that dynasty. However, there was a minister in the Ming Dynasty named "Long live the old man", who was the prime minister of Wan 'an in the Ming Dynasty. The title "Long live the old man" seems arrogant at first glance. I guess everyone will think it should be an honorific title. Actually, it is not. It is a mockery of Wan 'an, which means that he went to court and could do nothing but shout "Long live".

Wan 'an was a scholar during the reign of Ming Yingzong and Zhu Qizhen, so he should have some skills in theory, and he did have some skills, that is, "opportunism". From the first day of entering the officialdom, Wan 'an began to use all its intelligence in this respect. Later, I really had a relationship with Wan Guifei, Ming Xianzong Zhu Jianshen's favorite concubine, and the process was really amazing. First of all, they are all surnamed Wan and have a certain blood relationship. Later, they met Wan Guifei's younger brother Wantong. As a result, their wives turned out to be long-lost sisters.

One year, there was a vision from the sky, and the emperor called his ministers to discuss politics. College students Shi Peng, Lu Shang and Wan 'an met Ming Xianzong together. After three people entered the palace, Shi Peng and Shang Lu proposed that the salary of kyou-kan could not be cut, and Ming Xianzong agreed at that time. Just as they were preparing to continue playing time, Wan 'an suddenly kowtowed and shouted Long Live, while Shi Peng and Lu Shang both squatted down and shouted Long Live. This meeting has ended. Shi Peng and Shang Lu are full of unspoken words. How humble they are!

Later, Yin Zhi, a great scholar, also wanted to meet Ming Xianzong and talk about state affairs, but Wan 'an dissuaded him and said, "Gong Peng was summoned by the emperor and immediately kowtowed and said, Long live! What a joke! Wanan, obviously, bullying Shi Peng is dead, framing others, and dead men tell no tales. That's ridiculous! Since Wan 'an joined the cabinet, he has been in a high position 10 for many years. Until he retired, Wan 'an only shouted "Long live", so he was called "Long live the old cabinet".
