I don't know who leaked the news, or someone deliberately leaked it, within two days, the news that His Royal Highness King Qi was about to marry Princess Guangling and ascend the throne as emperor soon spread throughout the central capital, and at the same time spread to all counties in the world at an alarming speed. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

This news is far more shocking than the recovery of Luoyang, for a while, the enthusiastic public opinion pressed everything, the streets and alleys, inns, wine shops, music square green buildings, everywhere is talking about this matter, this is indeed a very happy thing.

The name of the Northern Sui has lost its original role, the Sui Dynasty has been dead for a few years, everyone has lost interest in this short-lived dynasty, and many people have begun to hate the name of the Northern Sui, although everyone knows that the Northern Sui is only a short-lived name, but its existence is as unpleasant and frustrating as the tail of a dynasty.

Now His Royal Highness King Qi is finally going to ascend the throne and establish a brand new empire, which makes everyone full of expectations for the new dynasty.

There was a quarrel in the Sanyuan wine shop, and everyone expressed their opinions about the name of the new dynasty, and everyone was convincing in their words, believing that they would definitely guess it.

"The new country name must be Qi, like Li Yuan's ancestors and grandchildren have been named Tang Guogong for several generations, and he was called Tang King before he ascended the throne, so the country name is Tang, His Royal Highness the King of Qi should be the same, and the establishment of the Qi Dynasty should be a common practice."

"Nonsense! How can it be the Qi Dynasty, the Qi Dynasty should be in Qi County, this is Wei County, and it is the center of Wei during the Warring States Period, the country name should be Wei, and it is called the Wei Dynasty. ”

"You know a piece of! Where was the capital of Northern Qi? Isn't it in Yecheng? What does it have to do with Qi County? ”

"You said it yourself, there was a Northern Qi a few decades ago, and now it's called the Qi Dynasty, isn't it the tail of the Northern Qi?"

"The same is true of the Wei Dynasty, His Royal Highness the King of Qi is surnamed Zhang, not Cao!"

"I think it's better to be called Jin, aren't Han Zhao Wei all separated from the Jin Kingdom?"

"It's not in Taiyuan, what is the Jin Dynasty! Besides, there is already a short-lived Jin Dynasty, which is too unlucky, and it should be named Wei. ”

The arguments of the diners became louder and louder, and the tone became higher and higher, and the two groups of people from the Qi Dynasty Gang and the Wei Dynasty Gang looked at each other angrily, and they were eager to fight.

The shopkeeper has long been accustomed to this scene, and secretly shook his head, it is really a group of village husbands, if it is Ziwei Pavilion, it will definitely be much more elegant than this, and it will not discuss such a non-level topic as the Qi Dynasty and the Wei Dynasty.

But if the shopkeeper has the opportunity to enter the Ziwei Pavilion to listen once, he will definitely be ashamed of his conclusion, the Ziwei Pavilion is elegant, but the content of the speeches of the Xiangguo is not much better than that of this group of market villagers.

Regarding the discussion of the new country name, Ziwei Pavilion has been carried out many times, they express their opinions, basically divided into three factions, one is to advocate the country name of Qi, represented by Wei Yunqi, Yang Gongren and Chen Ling, they advocate the use of the title of King of Qi, the King of Qi is promoted to Emperor Qi, which is more in line with the convention, and it is also in the same line.

The other faction is to advocate that the country name is Wei, represented by Su Wei, Li Gang and Xiao Yu, the central capital has been Wei since ancient times, it was the land of defending the country in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it belonged to the Wei State during the Warring States Period.

There is also a faction with only Lu Chu, belonging to the minority, he advocates the name of the country as Yan or Zhao, his reasons are a little weak, he believes that no matter Qi Wei, there was a country name decades ago, and it is not easy to record in the history books.

And Yan and Zhao were both big countries in Hebei, and no dynasty has ever used these two country names, so he prefers the Yan Dynasty or the Zhao Dynasty, and this is not only his personal opinion, but also the common wish of the Hebei family.

The three of them often discussed this matter in Ziwei Pavilion, but at that time, King Qi's accession to the throne was still relatively far away, so although everyone disagreed, they did not argue too much, but talked and laughed, quoted scriptures, and regarded it as an interesting academic debate again and again.

But today is a little different, the king of Qi has agreed to consider ascending the throne, and the determination of the new country name is imminent, and they all hope to choose their own plan in the end, so the debate began to heat up, and the atmosphere became a little tense.

However, no matter how fierce the argument is, it is useless, according to the convention, Ziwei Pavilion uses voting to decide the final plan, but this time it is a little embarrassing, Qi Wei is three votes, Lu Chu is the key vote, but Lu Chu has his own plan, he advocates the establishment of Yan or Zhao, he does not support Qi or Wei, Lu Chu clearly said that if Qi and Wei join forces to veto their plan first, then in the end he would rather abstain than vote.

At this time, Shangshu Zuo Servant Zhang Xuansu, who had been observing, said with a smile: "Don't fight with a few Xiangguo, I think Your Highness should have your own ideas, you might as well listen to Your Highness's plan and let Your Highness decide!" ”

Everyone laughed dumbly, the lord was not in the capital for most of the year, they were used to the independent resolution of Ziwei Pavilion, and they had been fighting for a few months, but they had forgotten the attitude of His Royal Highness King Qi, which was ridiculous.

At this time, the guards outside the door shouted, "His Royal Highness the Prince Regent has arrived!" ”

Saying that Cao Cao Cao had arrived, everyone got up one after another, only to see the door open, Zhang Xuan walked in from the outside quickly, and everyone bowed down together, "See His Royal Highness the Regent!" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, please take a seat!"

Everyone sat down again, Zhang Xuan sat down in his place, and he saw that the word 'country name' was written on the discussion board on the round table in the middle, and he knew that Ziwei Pavilion was discussing the name of the new dynasty today.

Zhang Xuan smiled and asked: "I don't know if you have a conclusion about the country, has there been a consensus on the country name?" ”

Zhang Xuan also learned from Du Ruhui's report that the council hall has discussed the country name several times, but there are big differences of opinion, and there has been no consensus, I wonder if they have reached a consensus today?

Su Wei bowed and said: "Your Highness Qiqi, it is still difficult for everyone to reach a consensus, but it is basically concentrated on Qi and Wei, of course, Lu Xiangguo's advocacy of Yan Zhao is also a plan, please make a decision on Your Highness." ”

Zhang Xuan smiled slightly, "Why choose Qi Wei, there were already Yuan Wei and Gao Qi decades ago, if you decide on them again, wouldn't it be confusing?" ”

Wei Yunqi said: "Your Highness Qiqi, this ..... In fact, it's not a big problem, whether it's Gao Qi or Yuan Wei, they are all dynasties established by different races, not authentic Han dynasties, and they have no impact on the inheritance, if the country name is Jin, it's really inappropriate, so please don't taboo this point. ”

"But in my thinking, Qi and Wei are the first to give up, and I can tell you frankly that I will not choose these two country names."

Everyone was stunned, they argued for several months, but they were denied by His Royal Highness the Regent in a word, and there was no room for maneuver at all, which made everyone's hearts suddenly full of regret.

Zhang Xuan saw the loss in everyone's eyes, and said lightly: "I'm sorry everyone, I've been busy with the war, and I rarely have time to sit with you to discuss this matter, this is my responsibility, and I apologize to all of you." ”

Everyone was taken aback and said: "Your Highness doesn't have to be like this, sharing your Highness's worries is the way to be a minister, but this kind of major decision should be decided by Your Highness." ”

Su Wei asked curiously, "Please tell us about Your Highness, what does Your Highness have in mind?" Let's all talk about it together. ”

Zhang Xuan smiled slightly: "I have considered four country name plans, one is Yong, the land of Guanzhong, that is my hometown, but Yong and Yong have the same sound, so this plan is the first to give up, followed by Han, continue to inherit our Han Dynasty, and later consider that the Han Dynasty is too strong, it is difficult for our new empire to surpass the Han Dynasty, but it will be reduced to Yahui, so the Han plan has also been abandoned, and finally there are two plans, one is Wei, one is Zhou, you can discuss." ”

A whisper suddenly sounded in the lobby, and Su Wei asked, "Why did Your Highness choose the Spring and Autumn Period to defend the country instead of the Warring States Wei Kingdom?" ”

"First of all, the place where we set the capital is the former Weiguo land, which is a heritage, secondly, there is no dynasty of the same name in Weiguo, don't worry about any taboos, and thirdly, because Weiguo is a vassal state that lasts for the longest time in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which has existed for nine hundred years, I personally like this auspiciousness."

Everyone was silent, although the regent explained three reasons, but everyone felt that it was a bit far-fetched, and Wei was defensive, biased towards defending, lacking an enterprising spirit, and this country name was not good for the country.

After discussing with the prime ministers, Su Wei said again: "Your Highness, we all agree that the word 'Wei' is unlucky, it is better to directly choose the Wei of the Warring States, if His Highness is not willing to accept the Wei State, then let's discuss the Zhou Dynasty again." ”

Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment and said: "It's better to be like this, all the officials above the fifth rank in Beijing come to vote to decide the country name, Ziwei Pavilion can draft the four country names, just Qi, Wei, Zhao, plus the Zhou I proposed, the four country names are decided by a majority vote, if one of Qi Wei is elected, I will also respect the voting results." ”

The prime ministers looked at each other, although other officials were often allowed to discuss major political affairs during the great dynasty, but it was the first time that the ministers were allowed to vote, and it made people feel that they were dispersing the power of Ziwei Pavilion.

However, the people were reluctant to consider the decentralization of power, preferring to think that the regent was considering strengthening the sense of identity of the country, and if so, it was not impossible for the court to decide together.

The Seven Xiangguo discussed for a while, and soon reached a consensus, and everyone tacitly agreed that if the court officials decided together, the country name would probably be Qi or Wei.

On behalf of everyone, Su Wei said to Zhang Xuan: "We completely agree with His Highness's plan!" (To be continued.) )
