Those who took the initiative to nod slightly at themselves were most likely clan relatives who had a good relationship with Xiao Zishuo on weekdays.

And those who follow their gaze and return the salute are the children of the family who don't interact with each other on weekdays.

It wasn't until Xiao Zishuo's gaze turned to the person next to him that his pupils involuntarily gathered.

The young man, who was a few years older than Xiao Jin, grinned at Xiao Zishuo, then turned his head away from him.

Xiao Zishuo naturally knew that the young man was the son of Gongyan who was competing with him for the public position.

It's just that I haven't seen him for a year, but this boy seems to be more mature, and the fifteen-year-old boy looks much more mature than Xiao Jin.

"Today, I convened everyone to come to the Qinglong Hall to discuss a major matter, in addition to picking up the wind for Zishuo, so I also invited Tian Xiangbang to come. After all, this matter is related to the reputation of my Qi country, and it is also the top priority of my Qi country. ”

After hearing the dying Xiao Qian's words slowly, Xiao Zishuo was shocked.

Could it be that as soon as he returned, he wanted to discuss the matter of establishing a prince?

At this time, not only Wen Xuan was not there, but the Qin people he relied on were no longer here, so how could he bring down Gongziyan here alone.

Just looking at Xiao Wang's attitude, he understood that Xiao Wang was afraid that he had already supported Gongziyan, and I was afraid that his dream of becoming a monarch would be shattered tonight.

But then, Xiao Gan's words dispelled Xiao Zishuo's concerns.

"The first prince has been decided, but the name has not been decided.

Today, the three orphans sent by the Son of Heaven have arrived in Tokyo, and if we can't set a name today, please ask the Son of Heaven to decide, then we can't bury the ancestor in 15 days, so we must discuss and draw up a name today. ”

Most of the people in the hall were the same as Xiao Zishuo, and they thought that today's discussion was to determine the prince, but they didn't expect that it was to draw up the name, so some people sighed with relief, and some people looked excited, and lowered their heads in disappointment.

Even Tian Fu, who already knew the content of today's discussion, smiled at Xiao Zishuo, obviously he saw Xiao Zishuo's expression, so he did it on purpose.

This made Xiao Zishuo blush and bow his head a little embarrassed.

After Tian Fu glanced at Xiao Zishuo, he stood up and said to everyone:

"Three lords, fellow clansmen, the ancestor has reigned for 18 years, and since he succeeded to the throne, although he has been able to work diligently in political affairs and persuade farmers to teach agriculture, it is quite unfavorable to the use of foreign troops, which has caused my great foreign troubles to continue.

Therefore, Tian and Baiguan discussed the matter of the name for half a month, and finally settled on the word "Han".

Please also ask the clan relatives to decide. ”

"What!"

As soon as Tian Fu's words fell, he heard Xiao Wang shout angrily and stood up.

"Tian Fu, if you insult your father, I will kill you."

Xiao Wang said as he threw himself towards Tian Fu.

Seeing this, Xiao Qian and Xiao Kun hurriedly shouted to the golden gourd warrior behind them: "Stop him." ”

I saw several warriors hurriedly stepped forward and blocked in front of Xiao Wang.

"That's enough, third. Which of the princes of the past dynasties did not want to have a good reputation after the death, even if the Son of Heaven died, he also had his own great name drawn up, but a few people were able to do so.

Tian Xiangbang also said, this is the meaning of the hundred officials, if you don't agree, put forward your opinion, that is, you must also think about your identity before moving in this palace. ”

Xiao Wang listened to the eldest brother's count, and he didn't dare to say anything recklessly, because he heard that Xiao Qian was really angry, so he simply glanced at Tian Fu angrily, and sat down behind the case.

"Uncle, Ziyan disagrees with Tian Xiangbang's proposal, my father's diligent political affairs are recognized by the monarchs of all countries, and even Tian Xiangbang recognizes it, so Ziyan thinks that it should be set as the word "Wen", and asks the eldest uncle to decide. ”

Just when the silence in the hall was restored, only to hear a childish voice suddenly sounded in the hall, and everyone and the angry Xiao Wang also looked for a sound, only to see that it was Xiao Ziyan, the second son of the first father.

After listening to Xiao Ziyan's words, several people in the clan echoed loudly, and among these people, there were people close to Gongziyan to help him, but there were also some sentimental words from the clan relatives who were the closest relatives of the ancestor from private reasons.

For a while, everyone in the hall was divided into two factions in an instant, and they argued endlessly over whether to determine "Han" or "Wen".

It's just that at this time, Sanqing didn't intervene as if he was dumb, they listened carefully to everyone's arguments, and they didn't have the slightest intention of making a decision.

Xiao Zishuo looked at Gongziyan, who was looking at him proudly, but he was a little surprised in his heart.

It seems that he does underestimate this younger brother a little.

At the age of fifteen, he knew how to buy people's hearts, and with one sentence, most of the clansmen in this hall stood on his side, which made Xiao Zishuo feel a little jealous of his younger brother for the first time.

In all fairness, why don't you want your father to be called Wengong.

But the reason in his heart told him that it was impossible to use the word "Wen" because of the two things that when his father was in power, the Qi State was undefeated and ceded to the Chu State, and the United Shu State was defeated by the Qin State and caused more than 100,000 soldiers.

Even the rather mediocre word "Han" somewhat exaggerates his father's merits as a monarch.

But he can't be like Tian Fu, express his opinions and evaluate his father objectively and fairly, because Tian Fu is just an outsider, but he is the eldest son of Daqi.

But he couldn't go along with Gongziyan, so that the clansmen felt that his intelligence was under Gongziyan, so Xiao Zishuo could only watch the arguments of everyone in the hall helplessly.

It would be nice if Xiao Geun was here.

Xiao Zishuo was confused for a moment, and Xiao Jin's calmness that always happened to him appeared in his heart.

I knew I should have taken him with me.

Xiao Zishuo lowered his head and pondered, while subconsciously wanting to pick up the wine bottle on the table in front of him.

Since I came to the Qinglong Hall today, I haven't touched a drop of water, and when I saw the wine bottle on the desk, I naturally wanted to take a sip.

Guogong's new funeral, according to the etiquette system, there is naturally no wine in the wine bottle, but even the clear water made Xiao Zishuo taste the sweetness of green plums.

This is the taste of home, green plum water, I haven't drunk it for a year.

Xiao Zishuo seemed to forget the controversy in the hall at this moment, he tasted the sweetness in his mouth for a long time, and the restlessness in his heart calmed down a little.

Suddenly, when he put down the wine bottle, he seemed to notice that Tian Fu on the side was looking at him, Xiao Zishuo hurriedly put the wine bottle on the table and turned his head to look at Tian Fu.

"What advice does Tian Xiangbang have?"

Xiao Zishuo clasped his hands together and saluted Tian Fu.

"The eldest son is the head of all the sons, but why is he silent for a long time."

Tian Fu asked Xiao Zishuo with a smile.

"Father-in-law's first death, Zishuo has just seen his father's face today, and his mood has been difficult to calm down for a long time, so he hasn't thought about the name yet, Tian Xiangbang forgive me."

"The eldest son, since ancient times, he has been called a minister, and a son is a father, so the son should not be too rigid about gains and losses.

Besides, Childe wants to achieve a great cause, so how can he hesitate and silently show that he is weak. ”

After saying that, Tian Fu, who was smiling, picked up the wine bottle in his hand and took a sip.

"Childe seems to be hungry and thirsty, does he care if it is wine or water when he picks up the wine bottle?"

After saying this, he smiled at Xiao Zishuo again, turned his head and stopped talking.

But these words were like a huge wave in Xiao Zishuo's heart, Tian Fu was reminding himself that no matter what attitude he made on the matter of the name, the benefits outweighed the disadvantages.

It's always better to have an attitude than not to have one, at least those who follow them will have a purpose.

Moreover, at this critical moment of competing for the position, he must not show weakness to the enemy, which made Sanqing contemptible.

Xiao Zishuo turned his head to look at Tian Fu, but for a while he couldn't figure out whether the old man in front of him was helping himself or giving himself a trap.

He turned his head, adjusted his breathing slightly, and then suddenly stood up, bowed to everyone in the hall, and said loudly:

"Zishuo has something to say, and I ask you to listen to me."

Xiao Zishuo was the eldest son after all, and as soon as his words fell, he listened to the noisy discussion in the hall and immediately calmed down.

Everyone's eyes looked at Xiao Zishuo, and even Sanqing, who was sitting opposite, looked at him with a curious look.

"As Tian Xiangbang said, when the first prince was in power, I fought 64 times against the outside world, ignoring the friction and small battles, and mobilized more than 10,000 troops to fight nine times, except for the victory in the battle with the Chu State, the rest were defeated.

Although the war with Chu was won, it ceded the land of the three counties of Chaoze, and Zishuo also admonished the ancestor for this matter.

Therefore, it is not appropriate for the second brother to call him "Wen". ”

As soon as Xiao Zishuo's words fell, he immediately aroused the anger of many people in the hall, among which Xiao Wang, led by Xiao Wang, reprimanded Xiao Zishuo fiercely.

And Xiao Ziyan also squinted at the anger caused by his brother, and smiled silently.

The situation in the hall seemed to be back to the square, but Xiao Zishuo was still standing, frowning and looking at everyone in the hall.

Suddenly, Xiao Qian, who saw the old dragon bell, slowly raised his right hand, and the hall was silent in an instant.

"Noisy, are you still respectful?"

After saying this from Xiao Qian's mouth, the clan relatives in the hall all lowered their heads.

The clansmen in this hall all knew, if Xiao Qian hadn't taken the initiative to give up his public seat on the grounds that he was a concubine, how could Xiao Zishuo's father sit on the throne of the monarch.

When he was young, Xiao Qian picked up the mess left by his father Qi Linggong, and reintegrated Qi Guo into an iron plate in the midst of internal and external troubles, and handed it over to his second brother, Xiao Zishuo's father.

That's why he can be ranked as the Zhengqing and become the political leader of Daqi.

It's just that Xiao Qian doesn't like to get power above the court, so after giving up the position of the prince to his second brother, he returned to the fiefdom and didn't pay much attention to world affairs.

But all this does not mean that Xiao Qian is mediocre, just in terms of his status in the clan, even if he is reborn as Duke Qi, he must respectfully say big brother when he sees Xiao Gan.

At this moment, who dares to disobey Xiao Qian's intentions.
