859, Dong Zhao presented an edict to ask for merit, and Wu Ming gathered his thoughts to determine the country
Hearing this, Wu Liren was a little angry, "If Mr. mentions this matter, I shouldn't have sent troops to rescue the Zhu Wen traitor, who let the first emperor seal a certain false name of the Duke of Jin that day, just wanted to provoke a dispute between a certain and Yuan Shao, with sinister intentions, who doesn't know?" ”
"Since Duke Wu knows, then please see this edict."
After speaking, Dong Zhao handed the edict he wrote personally to Wu Liren, Wu Liren opened it, immediately turned his anger into joy, and said with a smile: "It seems that this is all the credit of Gongren, and Lao Gongren has bothered!" ”
Dong Zhao looked at Wu Liren, "Xu Du is in turmoil, the Son of Heaven is in trouble, the Han family will eventually be encroached upon by the princes of the Quartet, and when the time comes, it will inevitably be a group of heroes, and the princes will become kings I don't know how many, now this great opportunity is in front of me, Wu Gong can choose his own title, so that when he rules the world in the future, he will raise the prestige of our country." ”
Wu Liren naturally also knows that the current title of the prince is very likely to have the title of the king after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the name of the country after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
"Sir, please leave the edict and go to the post house to rest, I will discuss it with everyone before making a decision."
Wu Liren knew in his heart that it was of great significance for this title to be set, so he asked Dong Zhao to be sent to the post house to rest temporarily, and at the same time asked people to quickly invite Wang Shouren, Jia Xu, Chen Jinnan, Zong Ze, Liu Yong and other important decision-makers, as well as Sun Qian, Mi Zhu, Chen Si and other old ministers, as well as the newly transferred Di Renjie and the newly recruited Xun You, and also invited the great god Yuan Tiangang, Luo Guanzhong, who has been recording history, and the female official Shangguan Wan'er.
It didn't take long for these people to be invited to the governor's mansion together, but they didn't know what was going on, except that Xiapi encountered a strong enemy, otherwise they would not be so excited.
Everyone in the audience was talking about it, I don't know what happened, only a few people knew the news that Xu Du sent a messenger to visit, and probably guessed that it had something to do with that person, everyone else was at a loss.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet! Listen to me first. Zhu Wen sent Dong Zhao as an envoy and wanted me to send troops to rescue Xu Du, what do you think? ”
After saying this, everyone began to discuss with each other, this kind of thing, naturally, there are two points of view, but Wang Shouren, Jia Xu and others felt that things were not so simple, so they didn't say anything.
At this time, Wu Liren smiled and said: "Zhu Wen wanted me to quit the army before, so he asked the first emperor to be named the Duke of Jin, but in fact, he wanted to provoke me and Yuan Shao to disagree, so I have been worried about this matter." Now, in order to show his sincerity, Zhu Wen asked the Son of Heaven to issue a new edict, which allows me to choose the title of Guogong, so I came here today to discuss with the lord how to determine this title! ”
At this time, everyone finally understood what Wu Liren summoned everyone to come here for, the matter of the country's name, let them participate, that is the greatest trust in them, if it is really after the founding of the country in the future, they will be the patriarchs, especially Xun You and Di Renjie, they were originally new to join the Wu Liren group, but they were recruited together, and they were very moved by Wu Liren in their hearts.
This kind of thing, everyone felt a responsibility, no one dared to speak easily, and fell silent for a moment, at this time, Mi Zhu got up first and said to Wu Liren: "The old minister thinks that the lord starts in Xuzhou, and Xuzhou is fertile for thousands of miles, so why don't you call Xu Guogong?" ”
At this time, someone immediately stood up and objected, "Although Xuzhou is rich, it is a place of four wars, and it is not suitable for the establishment of a country in the future, and the nine counties of Jiangdong, there was Wu Yue in ancient times, if it is called Wu Guogong, it is much better than Xu Guogong." ”
Everyone saw that it turned out to be Xun You, but many people didn't know Xun You very well, at this time, Wu Liren nodded at Xun You, and said with a smile: "This person is Xun You Xun Gongda." ”
"Hehe, Gongda's words, although it is good, but the lord's surname is Wu, if Wu is the name of the country, it will inevitably be a little disrespectful to the lord in the future, so there is something wrong with this."
Everyone kept putting forward various proposals, but Wu Liren was not satisfied, and he was a little dizzy when he discussed, Wu Liren also found at this time that this kind of thing, everyone insisted on one word, and there was no conclusion at all, and there was no title that he felt was bright.
At this time, Luo Guanzhong, who had not spoken, stood up and said to Wu Liren: "Lord, my subordinates don't know whether to say a word or not!" ”
Wu Liren nodded and motioned for him to speak first.
"Although there are different opinions about the origin of the surname of the lord, one of them is the source of most of the Wu surnames, and that is from the surname of the Yellow Emperor Ji."
Luo Guanzhong began to introduce the origin of the surname Wu in detail, and it turned out that the origin of the surname Wu was at the end of the Shang Dynasty, when the descendant of the Yellow Emperor, Gu Gong's father, led the tribe to settle in Zhouyuan under the Qishan Mountain. He had 3 sons: Taibo (also known as Taibo), Zhongyong and Ji Li, Ji Li's son Ji Chang was very talented, and Gu Gong wanted Ji Li to be his heir, so that he could pass it on to Chang. In order to take the throne, Taibo and Zhong Yong took their families to the Wuyue area in the south and established the state of Wu. Later, King Wu of Zhou posthumously named Taibo as Wu Bo, and Wu Bo's descendants were all surnamed Wu. This is also where the surname Wu comes from.
Hearing Luo Guanzhong's words, Wu Liren couldn't help but sigh with emotion: Luo Guanzhong deserves to write history, and this exquisite foundation is not covered.
Wu Liren's surname before crossing was Wu, and after crossing, he didn't know what his surname was, so he used his surname before the crossing, according to Luo Guanzhong, then he was still a descendant of the surname of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so he suddenly felt much taller.
Hearing Luo Guanzhong's words, Wang Shouren immediately got up and bowed to Wu Liren and said, "It turns out that the lord is actually a descendant of Zhou Tianzi, no wonder he is so wise and martial!" It is a blessing for us to be able to follow the Lord! ”
The other people couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and followed Wang Shouren to bow down to Wu Liren.
"Since the lord is the son of Zhou, it is better to take Zhou as the name of the country, and when he dominates the world, he will inevitably be able to create a new prosperous era, comparable to the Great Zhou."
Wu Liren looked up, it turned out to be Di Renjie, and then Wu Liren suddenly thought that before this Di Renjie was called, wasn't he the prime minister of Wu Zetian's Wu Zhou? If he also established a Zhou Dynasty, then Di Renjie may continue to be the prime minister of his Wu Zhou, is this also the will of heaven in the dark?
However, Di Renjie's proposal was immediately opposed by several people, and the basis for the opposition was that he already had the title of the Zhou Dynasty before, and the power of the Zhou Dynasty was all over the world, and it was difficult for future generations to surpass it, so using Zhou was to bring humiliation on himself.
