"Back to Your Majesty, this is Yongnu 薮 (sǒu)." Situ Yuan Kui replied: "Yongnu, the name of Xue Ze. There is water on all sides, which is clear but not slave. Yongnusu is very large, vast and thousands of miles, and the east pole is in the sea. There are fish, salt, dates, and chestnuts. ”

"Erya Shishu" notes: "Serval, Daze also." ”

Nowadays, Yongnusu is connected to the sea. Fishing and salt boiling are thriving.

"Where is Zezhong?" Your Majesty asked again.

"It's Yongnu County." Yuan Kui replied again.

"Why are you trapped on all sides?" His Majesty asked three questions.

"Your Majesty, because of the invasion of the sea. Flooded with seawater, it is connected to Daze. and even the county seat was trapped. Shang Shu Ling Cao Jie replied: "At the turn of the two Han Dynasty, the wind is surging, and the tide of anger is monstrous. The sea backfilled, flooding the fertile land. To the west of Yongnu County, Quanzhou County was set up in the former Han Dynasty, and most of the people have fled because of being flooded by the sea. Although the county has not been withdrawn from the Han Dynasty, it is not far from withdrawing. ”

"Shang Shuling, what he said is extremely true." Situ Yuan Kui also said: "Yuyang County has nine counties under its jurisdiction: Yuyang, Hunu, Luxian, Yongnu, Quanzhou, Pinggu, Anle, Yuxi, and Qianping. The total population of the nine counties is only larger than that of a large county. The old minister thought that many counties could be abolished. ”

Yuyang County, east of the Bohai Sea. At the turn of the Han Dynasty, he suffered from sea invasion (see "Volume 2: Linxiang 1.107 The Land of Nine Rivers" for details).

Especially in the southern counties, homes were destroyed and fertile land was flooded. People fled with their families, and none of them survived.

"Why don't you include Yongnu Su?" Your Majesty asked.

"This ......" The three princes and nine kings in the palace were dumbfounded.

For example, Yongnuxu will be included in the feudal state. It is necessary to divide Quanzhou and Yongnu counties together!

And so it goes. Linxiang Hou will be under the jurisdiction of: Fanyang, Linxiang, Fangcheng, Anci, Quanzhou, Yongnu, six counties for the county!

Spanning three counties, six counties are the country.

It is like a crouching tiger, lying between the two states of seclusion and Hebei. It stands with Zhongshan and river streams.

"I don't know what you think?" His Majesty asked again.

"The old minister has no objection." Sikong Zhang Ji took the lead in expressing his position.

Taiwei Xu Yu immediately came out: "Minister, second." ”

Yang Ci, Cui Lie and other old ministers in the palace sighed separately.

Why these two people took the lead in taking the stand.

Because, at the beginning of the year. His Majesty issued an edict ordering the secretary to play the assassination of the history and the county guard the corrupt and cruel people. Taiwei Xu Yu (Yu) and Sikong Zhang Ji attached eunuchs and accepted bribes. All the children of eunuchs and guests who are corrupt and corrupt are ignored, but there are 26 people who are honest and upright in remote and small counties, and who have made great achievements.

The people complained about their grievances, Situ Chen Tan, Yilang Cao Cao, and the impeachment of Xu Yu and others were all out of party selfishness, which was "releasing the owl and imprisoning the phoenix". His Majesty heard the music, rebuked Xu Yu and others, and worshiped all those who had been wronged as councillors.

The two were previously guilty of political mistakes and were rebuked by His Majesty. Only then was he anxious to flatter, take the lead in expressing himself, and curry favor with His Majesty.

"Too often?" His Majesty spoke suddenly.

Yang Ci came out steadily: "The old minister is here." ”

"Why didn't Taichang say a word?" His Majesty asked with a smile.

"It's not Liu Buwang, it's not meritorious. The general of the Auxiliary Han Dynasty in the Western Regions is the Marquis of Linxiang. There is a great contribution to the community. It is also a member of the Han family. He deserves to be crowned king. The princes of the palace, words and deeds are appropriate, and the old ministers have no objections. Yang Ci bowed and replied.

"Situ?" His Majesty asked again.

Situ Chen Tan also stepped out of the ranks: "The minister and the Taichang have the same thoughts. The Marquis of Linxiang should be crowned king. ”

"That being the case, Shang Shuling, and draft an edict." Money and goods are both in hand.

His Majesty was about to get up and quit the court, but he heard Shang Shu Ling Cao Jie lie down and say: "Your Majesty, it is a big deal to be crowned king. Whether the edict is too short. It's better to use a policy book. ”

"Zhou Li": "Whoever orders the princes and the ministers and doctors, they will make orders." ”

"The planner, the simplicity is also. ...... to order the princes and princes; The third public on the right is exempted from sin, and he also gives advice. ”

Princes and kings, need to be sealed.

"That's very good." His Majesty nodded happily.

Cai Yong's "Arbitrary": "The strategist, Jane also." Its system is two feet long, and half of the short. Secondly, one is long and one is short, and the two parts are attached. ”

The Book of Han contains four orders of the early Han emperor, the first of which is the policy book. When it is only written in wooden tablets, it is called a policy, and it is also connected with the "book".

Shang Shuling Cao Jie asked again: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, what is the name of the feudal country?" ”

Your Majesty then remembered that he wanted to give the feudal country a resounding name.

"How is Yan Guo?" Your Majesty throws bricks and stones.

"The old minister thinks that it is better to use two words." Yang Ci was the first to stand up against it.

The so-called high merit covers the master. The general of the Western Regions and the Han Dynasty is in the limelight. The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. It has been sealed as a great power. It's better to keep a low profile with the country name. Afraid of recruiting villains, red eyes and jealousy.

"The ministers seconded the proposal."

"What is the name of the Tai Chang Yi?" Your Majesty is kind and pleasant.

Yang Ci then set his sights on the map of the mountains and rivers of Dahan: "The feudal country starts from Fanyang in the west, passes through Linxiang, Fangcheng, Anci, Quanzhou, Yongnu, and reaches the Bohai Sea in the east. Why not call it the King of the Bohai Sea? ”

"There is Bohai County in Jizhou. How can he be crowned the king of the Bohai Sea? And there was opposition.

His Majesty raised his head when he heard this: "Lu Shangshu, what do you think?" ”

"Chen has lived in Youzhou for a long time. It is often said that 'the south of Hebei is Zhao, and the north of Hebei is Yan'. Linxiang Hou Fengguo is between Yan and Zhao. Why not match 'North and South' with 'Yan Zhao'? ”

"Oh?" His Majesty thought for a while, and then nodded happily: "South Yan and North Zhao." And how should the election be run? ”

"I think it's better for Nanyan." Taiwei Xu Yu had a flash of inspiration. Doesn't Your Majesty just like King Yan?

"The country is in the north, and it seems inappropriate to take the southern Yan. According to the old minister's opinion, there is no ambiguity in Northern Zhao. Situ Chen said.

"Seal the country and do more, why not call it Shenze country." That's where someone started and the mud.

"The Marquis of Shenze has long since withdrawn from the country and merged into Fanyang. How can you use a corner of the land to name the feudal country. This is a partial generalization, and it is not advisable for Tingwei to say this. As soon as the words fell, some people came out to oppose it.

Without waiting for Cui Lie to join the list, someone spoke: "Since the six counties are not a country, why not take two words among the six counties?" ”

So the courtiers were led astray again.

They all secretly thought to themselves how to choose the best word among the six counties.

Seeing the ministers in the palace arguing, His Majesty couldn't help but smile bitterly.

I thought that it was the most difficult to tear the land and seal the country, and demarcate the territory. Unexpectedly, choosing the right name is a dilemma.

The court was like a busy city for a while.

The three princes and nine kings each quoted scriptures and classics, and the spit flew everywhere. But no one could convince anyone.

Seeing that the sun was in the west, I didn't make a noise.

Suddenly, I heard someone shouting: "Why don't you call it thistle?" ”

"Jixian County is not in the feudal country, how can it be named?"

"What Xia Guan said is not the old capital of Yan Kingdom. It is a vassal state of the Western Zhou Dynasty. "The person who spoke was none other than Cao Cao.

His Majesty then looked at Sikong Zhang Ji: "Sikong can know the country of thistle?" ”

"The old minister knows also." Then the history of the country of Ji will be told.

The country of thistle has lasted for more than 1,000 years. The monarch is surnamed Yi (one says the surname Qi), a descendant of Yao.

The country of Ji is in business, and it has been intermittent in the meantime, and the specific inheritance has not been examined. In the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Ji Kingdom was divided by Zhou Tianzi and re-established. Until the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, he died in Yan.

Later, the capital of Yan State and the old land of Ji State. Take the name of thistle.

"Ji Guo ......" looks like His Majesty, and he is quite moved.

Yang Ci couldn't help but look back at Cao Cao. It's a close friend of Linxianghou in the end.

Although Ji Guo is not as eye-catching as Yan Guo. But it is also a one-word feudal country.

Moreover, many people will mistakenly think that the country of Ji is around Jicheng. I wouldn't have thought that it was the Western Zhou Dynasty!

"What do you think?" His Majesty laughed again.
