Youzhou Thorn History Mansion.
The civil and military officials of Youzhou gathered.
More than 30 officials from Wen Yanbo and Chen Xiaoyi arrived in the Assassin's Mansion, and more than 20 officials from the county guard's mansion, including Wei Zheng and Lu Chengqing, also arrived at the same time, in addition to five or six officials such as the county magistrate, county Cheng, and county lieutenant of Jixian County, who also sat in the left column.
Wen Zuowu right, right column is Xu Shiji, Xue Wanche, Wang Junkuo, Wang Mahan and other Han army generals, and Ying Hefu, Eto and other generals are also sitting in it.
The lobby was bustling with hundreds of people, because there were too many people to accommodate, Wen Yanbo, Xu Shiji and others still had a chair to sit on, as for the other officials, the generals could only sit on their laps, shoulder to shoulder all the way to the door.
Everyone gathered today because Li Chongjiu was about to become king, which was already a sure thing, but the specific details of it were related to ChongdΓ , and the officials had different opinions, which was really difficult to reconcile. I don't know when or when I will finish talking about it one by one, so today everyone gathers together to tell the difference.
Li Chongjiu sat on the main seat and coughed lightly, and the officials below stopped the buzzing discussion.
Li Chongjiu said: "I am about to call the king, the first thing is to correct the name, according to your opinion, how to draw up the country name?" β
As soon as the words fell, Shi Gao, the magistrate of Zhuo County, said that he got up from the pu mat and said: "The minister thinks that the king is set in Youzhou, Youzhou is the land of the ancient Yan country, and in ancient times, the public was called to serve the order of the king of Wu to destroy the Shang Dynasty, and it was sealed in the thistle, and then because its land is close to Yanshan, the country name is Yan, and the minister thinks that Yan is the country name, which is more appropriate." β
After Gao Xudao finished speaking, Lu Chengqing got up and spoke, they were all locals of Zhuo County, and they expressed their opinions, all hoping that Li Chongjiu would take Yan as the country name and focus more on Hebei in the future.
However, some people objected: "Yan has always been located on the border, and it is regarded as a barbarian country by the Central Plains. β
After this person finished speaking, Lin Dangfeng got up and said: "There are clouds in the Book of Poetry, the Xuanniao of Destiny, descending to give birth to Shang, and Shang being born because of Xuanniao." Shang began in the east, and now the people are still in three generations, the reputation is far greater than Yan, the king is based on Hebei, with Shang as the name of the country, can gather people's hearts. β
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the room, and many officials said indignantly and disdainfully: "How can the violent Yin Shang be the name of the country." β
Another person said: "This person was born in a businessman, and with a merchant as his name, he has to subvert the order of Shinong industry and commerce." β
Others looked at Li Chongjiu, and heard that Li Chongjiu was also born in business, which is the name of the country, which is what he meant.
Lin Dangfeng said unhurriedly: "I know that you are dissatisfied with the name of Shang, but there are many misunderstandings about the prejudice of Shang. The dispute between Kanto and Kansai has been going on for a long time, Xia and Zhou all started in Kansai, and Yin Shang started in Kanto, when the Zhou people called themselves Xia in order to destroy Shang, which means to destroy Shang in order to restore Xia. And the king started from the east of the river, called Shang as the number, and resumed business and discussed the west. β
"Nonsense! What are the evidence? An old man with a white beard stood up and scolded.
Lin Dangfeng said: "There are clouds in the history books, the Zhou people claimed to have Xia, and then called themselves Huaxia, which means the prosperous summer, and the feudal country, such as Qi, and the vassal states of Qin are called Zhuxia to distinguish them. β
Lin Dangfeng said that the old official couldn't speak, just blindly repeated, a group of nonsense, a group of nonsense.
Li Chongjiu heard it and gained a lot, it turned out that the Huaxia that we have been calling ourselves today is the self-name of the Zhou people in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the reason why the Zhou people called it so was actually to oppose the Shang and restore the summer. And now Kong Yingda, who has defected to Li Shimin's command, said that China has great etiquette in the Five Classics of Justice that has not yet been usurped, so it is called Xia; There is the beauty of the uniform, which is obviously the result of one's own will, but it has been affected to this day.
Of course, this qiΔ originated from the dispute between the east and the west, Xia and Zhou all rose in Guanzhong, and Shang rose in Hebei, and Zhou inherited Xia Tong, so the historian praised Xia and degraded Shang.
Lin Dangfeng said for a while, but there were too many people who opposed it, although Li Chongjiu was sympathetic, but in this era, everyone really did not have a good impression of the Shang Dynasty. Li Chongjiu wants to take business as the name of the country, and he will inevitably be separated from the lower scholars. Shang was then the first to be excluded.
At this time, Ying Hefu got up and said: "What Yan, the name of the country of Shang, in my opinion, is not as good as Zhou." β
Ying Hefu is worthy of being a martial artist, and as soon as the majestic voice came out, he immediately suppressed all the voices in the hall. Everyone thinks to themselves, what qualifications does a fan have, pointing fingers.
"Why?" Li Chongjiu asked with interest.
Ying Hefu said respectfully: "Zhou is the co-master of the world, and we grassland people are also convinced. At that time, Yuwen's family founded the Northern Zhou Dynasty, with a vast territory and a strong subdued outside the fortress, but it was usurped by Yang Jian's Great Sui, and now the Great Sui is declining, and we can restore the Zhou Dynasty Sui, so all the departments of the grassland are looking at the wind. β
Ying Hefu was not alone, Ji Chuan also got up and said: "Zhou attaches great importance to farming, teaches people to be agriculture-oriented, and is known as the prosperous era in ancient times, only the second generation of Zhou and Han, Zhou uses the royal road, educates one and the people, Han is overbearing, the criminal government is strict and vulgar, and it is better to take Zhou as the national name." β
Li Chongjiu listened to the two of them, the reason why Ji Chuan recommended Zhou, it can be guessed that Shang's surname is Zi, Zhou and the vassal states are surnamed Ji, Ji Chuan heard that Guan Long was exiled, and he was inclined to Zhou.
As for Yinghefu and other people supporting Zhou, it is also very understandable that the Yuwen clan who founded the Northern Zhou Dynasty is a Xianbei person, and the Xi people of Yinghefu are also Xianbei.
For example, the ancestors of Yinghefu heard that they were the people of Duanbu Xianbei, and Eto heard that they were the descendants of Murong Xianbei, so they thought that the Northern Zhou Dynasty established by Yuwen Xianbei was very cordial to them.
Of course, the opinions of Ying Hefu and Ji Chuan were opposed by Gao Xudao, Zhao Heran and other Youzhou people who thought that Liyan was the national name.
Zhao Heran said: "When the king of Zhou was in Beijing, it was Zongzhou, and when he moved east to Luoyi, it was called Chengzhou. Wang Shang started in Youzhou, thousands of miles away from Luoyang, how can he take Zhou as the country name. β
Liu Yi, the county guard of Anle County, objected and said: "If you talk about Wang Ji, Youzhou is only taken later, Huai Huang, when Yuyi opened the town, it is the land of Wang Shanglongxing." β
Chen Xiaoyi also objected: "The two generations of the Great Sui have been hanging for decades, and the people are more obedient to the king, regardless of the north and south, they all take the Sui family as the sustained state, if the Sui Dynasty is restored, not only there are few responders, but there is no good impression of the old officials of the Great Sui." β
The Youzhou Shi clan fiercely opposed, but Yinghefu and them admit death and are also at loggerheads.
At the moment, the civil and military officials on both sides were arguing and almost drawing their fists against each other. And Wang Mahan, Tan Zong and others are all none of their business, whether it is Yan or Zhou, it is none of their business, they just think that these are officials of one side of the frontier, and they are as noisy as shrews scolding the street, which is very interesting, and they are happy to watch.
Li Chongjiu silently watched the two sides quarrel for a long time, Huo Ran got up and shouted: "The country has not yet been established, you claim to be Youzhou and the grassland, and if you quarrel like this, how will you get it in the future." β
Seeing that Li Chongjiu was angry, the officials and generals of Youzhou at the moment all surrendered their hands to accuse.
At this time, Xue Wanshu came forward and said: "The ambition of the king is to sweep the world, mix the north and the south, whether it is Youzhou or Saibei, the pattern is confined to one place, and the husband is the name of the country, and he should be inclusive of thousands and cover the world." β
What Xue Wanshu said made the civil and military officials nod their heads together, but some people also asked rhetorically: "According to what you mean, what kind of country name can be inclusive and cover the world?" β
Xue Wanshu said with a smile: "It's just a matter of throwing bricks and attracting jade, or the princes are discussing." β
At this time, Su Su, the county guard of Taiyuan County, who had not spoken, spoke.
Su Suyan said: "I thought that Wang Shang was a native of Taiyuan Shi Ai, Taiyuan Shi Ai was Zhao Di, King Zhao Wuling, Hu Fu rode shΓ¨, the master father was immortal, how dare Qin attack Zhao." I thought it was best to take Zhao as the country name. β
Su Sunai is Li Chongjiu's fourth uncle, his status is extremely high, and he is a feudal official, but no one dares to oppose his words for a while.
Xue Wanche stood up and said: "Back then, Zhao Ju was in the Sanjin Dynasty, there were Lin Hu, Xiongnu, Donghu, Lou Fu in the north, Qiang Qi in the east, Fierce Wei in the south, and Qin of the tiger and wolf in the west. β
Wen Yanbo on the side also spoke: "Zhao Wu has Lian Po, Li Mu, Wen has Xunzi, Lin Xiangru, there is Qin Shangwu, and there is no Qin barbarian, the country name is Yan, although Zhao Wu has no likes and dislikes, but among the heroes of the Warring States, Zhao Shi is better than Yan, and the scholars still respect the spirit of the Zhao people who died and did not surrender today." β
Su Suyan said: "The king came out of the Zhongshan Li family, and the Zhongshan Li family and Zhao Mu are the same clan, in the past, Qin destroyed Zhao, mistakenly fell into the Qin people's counter-plot, killed Zhao Mu by mistake, and the Zhao people hated him. If it is called Zhao, it can revive the name of Zhao and attack Hedong. β
Su Su said this, and many of the people present nodded.
Wang Qi said: "Yan State, Zhou State is just a dispute between one place and one domain, Wang Shang is Taiyuan, and after the Li family of Zhongshan, the ancients respected their ancestors and respected the ancestors, respected the ancestors and accepted the clan, and the clan could not be close to the family, the order was clear, the clan was united, and the neighbors were close. Therefore, it is beyond reproach that the king took the place where he and his ancestors came from as the name of the country. β
Ji Chuan was a little unconvinced, but still did not give up the idea of Da Zhou, and asked, "You say that, is there a precedent?" β
Wang Qi smiled and said: "Why not, the Heavenly Destiny Xuanniao, descended and gave birth to Shang, in the inscription, the word Shang resembles a phoenix, this is the Xuanniao." β
"Far-fetched!" Himekawa said.
Wang Qi said: "The Zhou people began in Zhouyuan, soared in Qishan, and were all in Fenghao, but they took the Zhou of Zhouyuan, where their ancestors lived, as the country name. Isn't this providential! β
Ji Chuan was stunned when he heard this, Wen Yanbo laughed here, and said: "I have heard that Wang Shuyu is well-informed and knowledgeable, but today I saw it as a result. β
Wen Yanbo smiled, asked Wei Zheng and Ji Chuan to make their own moves, and said nothing more at the moment.
Li Chongjiu saw that many ministers were no longer talking, and said solemnly: "Very good, then this matter should be decided here, and the country name is Zhao!" β
