Everyone looked at each other.

The original meaning of the word "Xuan", from its shape, refers to the car in which scholars, nobles, and monarchs ride. Well, although the car is a high-end car, it is just a car after all.

That is to say, "Xuan" is a piece of artifact, itself does not have any meaning of beauty, its "tall", "attention", "flying" meaning, are later perfunctory extension, title, nickname are pay attention to the original meaning, the extended meaning is of no value.

No matter how "humble you retreat", this word "Xuan" is too cold, right?

The words "Yi", "Zhuo" and "Fan" are even more useless.

The original meaning of "Yi" is to run away; The original meaning of "Zhuo" is to cover people with nets, that is, to catch strong men; The word "fan" is like the model shape of the utensils, which is the mold of the casting utensils.

Looking at the past one by one, it is better to "Xuan".

No one agreed, but no one could disagree with it -- because it was done by Kwan Cheuk-fan himself.

Okay, let's just hand it over first, and I would like to ask the Holy Judge.

Guan Zhuofan's holy decree of the king of Jin County was handed over after the military aircraft department was prepared, and the position of the title was "left blank", and the word "Xuan" was written on a yellow note two fingers wide, and pasted there -- this is the meaning that his subordinates dare not be self-dedicated, and respectfully ask Chen to make a decision.

The Queen Mother of the Two Palaces was resting in the "Sanxi Hall" of the West Warm Pavilion of the Yangxin Palace, and she was quite surprised when she saw the word "Xuan". However, the two women did not understand the deep meaning of the words, and in this regard, they were far less sensitive than the ministers of military aircraft. Also, in the excerpt, Guan Zhuofan's "humble retreat" is painstaking. It's very clear and thorough.

Cixi pondered for a moment. said: "Since he wants to lower the tone a little. It's up to him - or not, there will probably be less talk behind his back. Anyway, it's just a title, and when the time comes, if you're happy, you can change it. ”

"It's time", referring to Prince Jin from the king of the county; "It can be changed" - this is indeed the case. It is not very uncommon for the princes of the Qing Dynasty to change their titles halfway.

Almost all of the eight iron hat kings at the beginning of the country changed their titles for various reasons, but they all changed back one by one later.

For example, Prince Li was successively changed to Prince Jane, Prince Kang, and later changed back to Prince Li; Prince Su was changed to Prince Xian, and later changed back; The king of Keqin was changed to the king of Pingjun, and then changed back. Wait a minute.

Although the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces did not understand these situations. But in general, yes.

Ci'an nodded and said, "Yes, let's talk about ...... again."

She looked at the fold, frowned slightly, but there was a smile on her face, and said: "This 'King of Xuanjun', look at it...... It's quite chic. ”

Cixi smiled and said, "What my sister said is true. ”

The feeling in her heart is not exactly the same as that of Ci'an - it is okay to say "chic", but more importantly, it is an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

Cixi called her lover, in front of people, of course, her full name was "Guan Zhuofan"; After people, sometimes it becomes "Zhuo Fan". But Guan Zhuofan's word, "Yixuan", never came from Cixi's mouth.

Xuan, Xuan.

Cixi silently recited this word several times in her heart, and it felt as if she was calling his name.

The woman's face heated slightly.

However, there are some things that still need to be changed.

"The word 'Yi' wants to be included in the will, so it is said that it was given to him by our sisters, and he 'humbly retreated', thinking that 'too good and too beautiful', 'unbearable', and resigned, so we gave the word 'Xuan' again. It's just that the word 'Xuan' should not be related to his name - as for what other people think, whatever they want! ”

"Very well, that's it."

This is a typical cover-up and stealing the bell. However, in politics, it is a very common practice to cover your ears and steal bells, and it has its own irreplaceable effect.

What Cixi didn't expect was that Ci'an couldn't think of it: Guan Zhuofan used the word "Xuan" as his royal name, and "lowering the tone" was not the main purpose, he actually had another deep meaning.

Guan Zhuofan thinks that in an agrarian society, this set of titles and nicknames is really the "self-esteem" of emperors, nobles, and scholars, and in the era when the ruling class has a high monopoly on culture and its spread, this set of things has its important value and function, but in the process of transformation to an industrial society, if this set of things does not keep pace with the times, it will sooner or later become a set of jokes.

Words and names have their powerful power in any era, but in different eras, there must be different channels and ways of expression.

When he was planning to ban the title, Guan Zhuofan's first thought was, who will this title be shown to and who will be heard?

Who is the number one audience?

Dowager? Emperor? Imperial clan? Literati?

No, it's neither.

In the first place is his Xuan Jun.

The vast number of soldiers of the Xuan Army, where can they figure it out: what is the "Jiamei" of the word "Yi"? How is the word "Xuan" "cold"?

When they saw and heard the word "Xuan", their first reaction must be: This is the "Xuan" of "Xuanjun". The second reaction was: this is the name of the marshal.

In their subconscious, the title of "King Xuanjun" is almost equivalent to: the imperial court has determined in law that the Xuan army belongs to Guan Yixuan.

This layer can never be declared in the mouth, and among the Minister of Military Aircraft, someone faintly guessed a few points. However, it is only "faintly", just "a few points".

The decree was changed according to the meaning of the Queen Mother, and after it was transcribed, it was divided into two parts, one of which was sealed by the Queen Mother of the two palaces, one was handed over to the cabinet for Ming Fa, and the other was awarded to Guan Zhuofan - that is, it was officially knighted.

In the scene of the decree, Cixi originally wanted to make it "bigger", but after a little exposure, Guan Zhuofan resolutely thanked him and just asked for it.

However, Cixi refused to give in to the choice of the location of the decree.

Originally, if the decree was not issued to the recipient's house, then the place where the decree was issued should be at the place of the recipient's office -- as far as Guan Zhuofan was concerned, it was naturally the Military Aircraft Department.

Unless you want to "make a big scene" and there are many people watching the ceremony, you will find another magnificent and open place. For example, when Du Little was knighted, he invited hundreds of officials to watch the ceremony, and he chose the hall of the Ministry of Rites.

But. Just said. The "go bigger" scheme. It has been denied.

However, the Queen Mother said that the military plane is "too cramped, and when you turn around, you will bump into it, and you have to put incense on the table, facing the south and the north, you can't squeeze it, it's not suitable."

The internal space of the military aircraft is indeed not large, but it is not to the point that the Queen Mother said. But. The implication of the "above" is obvious, the Sacred Heart does not belong to the military plane, and there is no need to argue about it.

Guan Zhuofan himself is not good at what to say, King Gong is responsible for issuing the decree, but he opened his mouth to ask the queen mother of the two palaces for instructions, where should the decree be issued?

I think Longzong is good, and the place is very spacious.

Yes?

Longzong Gate is next to the military aircraft office, with five wide rooms, and it is also a doorway, except for the guards on weekdays. There are no other people, "the place is very spacious". It's true.

However, the position of the Long Sect is particularly sensitive.

Longzong Gate is the right gate of the square in front of the Qianqing Gate, that is, the West Gate, after entering, the north and the inner court in the middle of the road, the south and the outside of the middle of the road, is the Forbidden City between the inner court, the important passage between the outer court, called the "forbidden door", non-to be called and announced, that is, the princes and nobles are not allowed to trespass.

The entourage of the senior officials was not allowed to enter the Longzong Gate at any time, and could only stand twenty steps away from the steps outside the door.

The Queen Mother designated the Longzong Gate as the place where the king of Guan Zhuo Fan Jin issued the decree, which can be described as ingenious, which ...... Is there any deep meaning?

As for whether this is considered a "violation" or "trespassing", no one can say in a hurry.

In any case, the first resignation is the best.

Cixi frowned slightly and said, "Do you think that the Long Sect has fought and is unlucky?" ”

Yo, I forgot about this stubble.

In the eighteenth year of Jiaqing, Tianlijiao rebelled, sent a strange army, changed clothes and infiltrated Beijing, and under the response of the religious eunuchs, they actually attacked the Forbidden City and fought until Longzongmen.

This sect of less than 100 people, the whole army was finally wiped out, but this was "something that was unprecedented in the Han, Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties", and it can be imagined what a shock it caused to the imperial court at that time! Renzong issued an edict for this, and his deathbed edict "never forget the changes of eighteen years".

Longzong Gate fierce battle, arrows flying, among them hit the plaque on the door and the rafters under the eaves, Renzong instructed, do not pull out the arrows above, to forever for the descendants of the ring. So far, the plaque of Longzong Gate and the rafters under the eaves, each with an arrow. Guan Zhuofan has seen these two arrows with his own eyes.

"Back to the Queen Mother, the minister is the one who leads the troops, and this is not taboo."

"I think so." Cixi nodded, and then raised her voice slightly, "I really tell you, it is precisely because of the battle of the Long Sect that our sisters and sons chose there to issue this decree!" ”

Guan Zhuofan and the other five ministers of military aircraft were all in their hearts.

"Please admonish the Queen Mother!"

"In the eighteenth year of Jiaqing, the old man in the palace is still talking about it, and it is terrifying to talk about it! At that time, if the Longzong Gate couldn't be guarded, and the rebellious party really entered the inner court, God knows how much trouble would happen? ”

"In the will, it is said that Guan Zhuofan 'helps the crisis and settles the tilt' - the battle fought by the Longzong Sect is not 'helping the crisis and fixing the tilt'? In the Longzong Sect, this decree is issued, and this lord is promoted, in my opinion, the meaning is excellent, and it is worthy of the number! ”

Hey, this "symbolic meaning" of the royal sister really has a little "meaning".

"That's a layer of meaning, and—"

Cixi paused for a moment and said: "I dropped a sentence - 'Mother Yongyan', the national fortune of the Qing Dynasty has fallen all the way since the battle of Longzongmen!" It wasn't until today that I finally turned around! Guan Zhuofan, here, you are the first to take the lead! ”

Guan Zhuofan's heart was shocked, and he fell to his knees with his robe: "The minister is terrified!" ”

"In the Longzong Gate, the first is to remind the big guys, don't forget the difficulties of the ancestors' entrepreneurship and the hard work of keeping the success, and the second is to take this opportunity to tell all the countries in the world, we China, from now on raise your head and look at the top and go!"

This is really called "one set of sets", Guan Zhuofan thought, I didn't think about it so much.

If Guan Zhuofan really wants to resign, he can still find a reason to move Cixi: for example, the Holy Ancestor, Shizong, and Xuanzong all collapsed outside the Forbidden City, and their Zigong Palace was welcomed into the Great Inner by the Longzong Gate. Receiving the knighthood in Longzong is not only suspected of trespassing, but also quite unlucky.

The "arrogant" god horse, the royal sister who feels very good about herself, may not take it to heart, but when it comes to "unlucky", she will definitely not care.

However, Guan Zhuofan decided: If you don't quit, the Longzong Sect will be the Longzong Sect, and this time, it will be according to the meaning of the Royal Sister.

Keep a low profile when it's time to be low-key, and be high-key when it's time to be high-profile.

Receiving the news that Guan Beile was about to take over the order of Jin Jue in Longzongmen, Jingyunmen became lively.

Jingyun Gate and Longzong Gate are far away from each other, it is the left gate of the square in front of the Qianqing Gate, that is, the East Gate, the regulation is the same as that of Longzong Gate, and the function is basically the same, it is an important passage between the inner court and the outer court, all called "forbidden door".

In Jingyun Gate, the north side is the Jiuqing duty room and the Mongolian prince's minister duty room, and the south side is the place where the work is to be leaked. The so-called "performance to be missed" refers to the beginning of the country, the emperor in the Qianqing Gate "Imperial Gate to listen to the government", the minister needs to rush to the Qianqing Gate early in the morning to wait for the performance, waiting place, is this "performance to be leaked straight office". The matter of "listening to the government at the imperial gate" has long been gone, and "waiting for the leakage of the office" is actually the court room where the officials are waiting for the court.

That is to say, the officials who handed the sign and waited for the "call", and the officials who were on duty in the Forbidden City of the Six Ministries and Jiuqing, were all concentrated in the Jingyun Gate.

The "call" of the Military Aircraft Department must be the first "start" of the day, but the "start" and "call" of the Military Aircraft Department today are endless, and I don't know what important things are being discussed? Other "up", are they still "called" or "called"?

Everyone is speculating wildly, and the news has come over: Guan Beile Jinxuan County King!

The whole Jingyunmen was a sensation.

Jingyun Gate is only a stone's throw away from Longzong Gate, who doesn't want to see this liveliness? Therefore, although Guan Zhuofan received the knighthood, although he had no intention of "making a big scene", when the decree was issued, the number of "spectators" was very large, and the scene was still quite large.

The whole Forbidden City was a sensation.

The whole city of Beijing was a sensation.

The whole of China was a sensation.
