On the next seat, more than 20 seats were prepared, but there were only a few people present, who seemed to be people who had come to attend the meeting, and an hour had passed, that is, two hours, before the meeting began.
After the Lingnan Road marched to capture the counties of Jiangzhou, Marshal Yu Wenwen sent a "hero post" to all the heroes and strongmen in Jiangzhou, and "invited" all the heads of the family and patriarchs to gather in Nanchang on the 20th of January of the following year.
However, today, Yu Wenwen sat in the state council hall and waited for the guests from all parties to come to the door, and waited until the meeting time passed for an hour, and he couldn't wait for the local snakes on the invitation.
The participants, only a few local leaders of Nanchang who are present here, are the representatives of the "four surnames of Yuzhang", and they cannot shirk the meeting whether they want to or not.
The so-called "four surnames of Yuzhang" is the collective name of the major clans in Nanchang, Yuzhang County, not the "four surnames" assessed by the imperial court, but the common name of several powerful families after years of development, that is, the surname.
The four surnames of Yuzhang, one is said to be Hu, Luo, Deng, Xiong, among them, Hu's family is the most abundant, and there are Chen, Lei, Zhang and other surnames, and the strength is not weak, but in any case, in the Nanchang area of Yuzhang, Hu, Luo, Deng, and Xiong are worthy of the title of the big family.
Yu Wenwen looked at the few people in front of him, and squeezed out a smile as much as he could: "Everyone, today the widow is here to meet guests, I thought that the scene would be very lively, but I didn't expect it to be so cold, it really made everyone laugh." ”
Hearing this, the people present hurriedly said, "The grass people don't dare", Yuwen Wengang "pacified" Jiangzhou Yueyu, in the face of his "invitation", it is normal for the powerful people from all over the country not to dare to come or not want to come, and the family foundation of these people is in Nanchang, Yuzhang, that is not good.
Seeing the embarrassing scene, Yu Wenwen took out a bunch of letters, threw them under the bookcase one by one, and said while throwing them: "Actually, it's not that the elites from all over the world invited by the widow don't come, in fact, they have a hard time." ”
"Someone suddenly sprained his leg, someone suddenly suffered from a serious disease, someone suddenly had a big incident in the clan and couldn't get out, anyway, there were various reasons, and they couldn't go to the meeting in person, so they specially sent their capable people to Nanchang to attend as a substitute... Oops, what a coincidence, it couldn't be more coincidental..."
"Hehe, brook dog! When I am the king of the Great Zhou, I am a fool! ”
The long Shi Cui Da, who was sitting on the side, suddenly scolded, including the word "brook dog", which made the faces of everyone present change, but everyone was a person who had experienced decades of ups and downs, and quickly hid his emotions.
Yu Wenwen glanced at the guests below, and couldn't help but praise Cui Da's kung fu in adding fuel to the fire, but he didn't want the fire to burn.
"Creek dog, the widow in Huangzhou once heard people mention, it is said that in the stream in the south of Jiangzhou, there is something in the water that looks like a shrimp toad, the tail is three or four inches, and it feeds on small fish and insects in the water, if it is a coincidence, the widow wants to see the true face of the creek dog."
"If the king wants to see the stream... Dogs, grass people, etc., will order people to search for them in the mountains and streams, and present them to the king to see. ”
A few embarrassed people present echoed that if they were scolded as "brook dogs" on weekdays, they could turn their faces on the spot or brush their sleeves away, but now they can't, they can only sit down with a stomach full of complaints.
"The widow emphasized in the invitation that if the head of the family and the patriarch can't come, then the eldest son must be sent over, but the substitutes for each family today don't seem to be sons-in-law, but some kind of housekeeper or something."
"That is, they did not take the words of the widow to heart."
Speaking of which, Yu Wenwen had already thrown away all the letters, he clapped his hands, and several generals came outside the door.
"General Chen."
"The last general will obey the order!"
"The writers of these letters are traitors who try to rebel." Yuwen Wen slowly got up and said with a smile, revealing Sensen's white teeth, "Traitor, what should I do?" ”
"Dare to resist the king, kill!"
"Good!"
Yu Wenwen laughed loudly and bowed his hand to the several family heads present to apologize: "You are going to the meeting today, naturally you are good people who are committed to the king, please go home and sit down, remember not to have anything to do with the traitors, so as not to accidentally hurt the officials and soldiers!" ”
Seeing such a formation, where did several family heads dare to say anything, no matter how dissatisfied they were, they would not gamble with the safety of the family.
Lose your marbles! Those people are just waiting and watching, and if you disagree, you will 'quell the rebellion', isn't this forcing the other party to rebel? Jiangzhou is in chaos, are you still sitting firmly in Nanchang City?
Thinking so, the heads of the family didn't dare to say anything, seeing Yuwen Wen smiling and announcing the "dismissal of the meeting", he hurriedly slipped away, and Chang Shi Cui Da saw such a scene, and his heart was secretly happy.
Okay, force the rebellion against Jiangzhou Haoqiang, when the smoke is everywhere, you will be anxious and have to go around to quell the rebellion, and then Lingnan will not progress well, so you will have no time to think about it!
The harmony meeting could not be held, Yu Wenwen was overjoyed, he was afraid that all the local snakes would be present today, and there would be no reason to "quell the rebellion" at that time.
"King, are you going to do something to the brook dog?"
Faced with the questions of several generals, Yu Wenwen's face sank: "Xigou? Don't insult the people of Jiangzhou like this, you don't want to hear these two words come out of your mouth in the future! ”
"Yes!"
The brook dog, of course, is not a dog that lives in the stream, Jiangzhou is mountainous, and there is an amphibian similar to the giant salamander (baby fish) in the mountain stream, called the small salamander, which was called the brook dog in ancient times.
Of course, things are not that simple, in fact, "brook dog" is a slurious term, and then evolved into regional discrimination, which is what later generations called regional discrimination.
For example, when it comes to Henan people, they are "stealing manhole covers", when it comes to Northeast people, they are "underworld", when it comes to Cantonese people, they are "eating everything", or when some Shanghai locals talk about outsiders, they are all "Xiangwuning (countrymen)", and the more obscure words are "hard disk" and "WD".
In this era, "Xigou" is a specific contempt for the people of Jiangzhou, and it is also the kind of nickname for the people of Jiangzhou within the Southern Dynasties.
As long as an official is born in Jiangzhou, no matter how big his official position is, others will privately scold him as a "brook dog".
In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Sima Tao Kan was in a high position, but because he was born in Jiangzhou, he couldn't get rid of the insulting title of "brook dog", and his great-grandson Tao Yuanming was also ridiculed in private as "brook dog".
Cui Da obviously knew about this "Southern Dynasty custom", so he deliberately said it to stimulate the several family heads present, in fact, he wanted to arouse the resistance of these people, Yuwen Wen knew it but couldn't attack, so he could only divert the topic and play a round.
How much does this insulting title hurt the people of Jiangzhou?
Yuwen Wen made up for it, if he was called "Zhina Pig", then his mood would not be much better.
He hated regional discrimination and contempt, so he would never allow his generals to insult others at will, after all, Yu Wenwen was going to launch a large-scale group activity next, and the name was "Harmony Jiangzhou".
"Beat the drums and pass on the generals!"
