508 The first meeting of the new king, the name of the uncle
The ministers cautiously followed behind the leader Xiong Wuliang, looking at the robe on the latter's body, and when they looked at each other, they all smelled a different breath.
Today's court meeting, I'm afraid it's not easy!
Could it be that Xiong Wuliang, a chaotic minister and thief, is going to do something today?
The ministers entered the main hall with their own thoughts...... Their eyes were on the throne, but they were stunned - there was no one on the throne.
"Ahem." Someone cleared his throat -
"The king occasionally felt a cold last night and had a slight illness...... Today, Benhou temporarily presided over the court meeting on behalf of the king. Xiong Wuliang said.
The voice was not loud, but it suppressed the audience!
The ministers of the Chu State were stunned!
Especially those foreign feudal lords who came from afar, they are not very clear about the series of changes and undercurrents in Yingdu, and they can't help but look at each other when they see this situation.
Today is the first court meeting of the new monarch.
It stands to reason that even if the king is missing arms and legs, he has to move over with the couch and meet his loyal courtiers......
Hold the grass.
Xiong Wuliang, you rebel and thief, you can't act now!
Shocked for a moment, there was an eerie silence in the hall.
Xiong Wuliang seemed to be unaware of the strange atmosphere, and respectfully saluted the empty throne: "Minister Quyang Marquis Miliang, meet the new monarch." Long live the new king! Long live Da Chu! β
didn't wait for the ministers to react, only to hear a tiger roar suddenly coming from outside the main hall: "Long live the new monarch!" Long live Da Chu! β
Some bold courtiers looked out of the hall...... The warriors in front of the palace who were guarding outside had all changed their people, and they were all unfamiliar faces.
These 'warriors in front of the palace', one by one, are holding big shields, but they are not the luxurious honor guards of the past - on their big shields, there are still mottled traces of this sword carved and axe, which is clearly a fierce brigade fought on the battlefield!
At a glance, these warriors in front of the palace wore leather armor inside and iron armor on the outside......
Their identities have been revealed - Xiong Wuliang's private army! Quyang New Army!
Okay.
The ministers wisely chose to turn a blind eye, so they saluted the empty throne one after another, and praised in unison: "Long live the new king, long live the great Chu." β
β¦β¦
"Today's court meeting, the first thing - to set a name for the first king." Xiong Wuliang said.
The so-called nickname refers to the king's death in an extremely concise one or two words, summed up in his voice.
For example, the word 'martial spirit' of Zhao Wuling, King Zhao Yong, is the nickname of this sixth child.
As for the acacia...... It has really become a difficult task to give him a nickname.
This buddy's life is really full of ups and downs, and it is so legendary - he was fooled by Zhang Yi in his early years, fought several defeats, and lost his troops and lost his land......
But later, the state of Chu fought a lot of hearty victories - such as the annexation of Yue, the repulsion of Qi, the annexation of Song, and the Second Danyang War......
It is also a great martial arts, once dominating the Central Plains!
If it ends here, then the acacia must be a good thing.
However, when the alliance of Qin, Wei and Han invaded Chu, the prince personally commanded the three armies and fought a series of unprecedented defeats...... buried the hegemony of the Chu State, and even the king was defeated.
In the end, the king would rather die than give in, and die fiercely......
Twists and turns, nothing more.
After a long silence, a middle-aged minister finally stood up and gave up his hand: "Marquis of Quyang, in the opinion of the old minister, the first king's merits are mixed, the praise is insufficient, and the evil is more than enough, so he should be reckless." β
The minister who spoke was named Jing Chong.
Jing Chong, the patriarch of the Jing clan, a big clan in the Chu State, served as the 'national elder' in the Chu State, which was an official position with a prominent position but no specific power.
In addition to the royal family, the three major families in the Chu State are the most prominent - the Qu, Jing, and Zhao clans.
Naturally, Qu and Zhao don't need to say much - since this Jing can be compared with the two, it is conceivable that he is also a heavyweight character.
The state of Chu has always had a tradition of strong ministers and weak kings - these three big clans, their protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials are all over the Chu state, and they also have their own fiefs and people...... Even the private troops that each has are not a few.
It is no exaggeration to say that if the three clans of Qu Jingzhao join forces, even if they are the king of Chu, they will have to retreat.
For a minister like Jing Chong, even Xiong Wuliang, who is in power and the opposition, must weigh it carefully.
β¦β¦
The so-called 'beautiful words' in Jing Chong's mouth, also known as 'praise', refers to the names with praise meanings, such as 'Wen, Wu, Ming, Rui, Kang, Jing, Zhuang', etc., all belong to the praise.
As for the 'evil slander', it is naturally easy to understand - 'powerful, spiritual, yang, secluded, mournful' and so on...... The people who got these nicknames are basically tyrants in history, even the kings of the dead country.
However, in history, there have also been cases of combining good and bad words - for example, Zhao Yong, the king of Zhao Wuling, whose nickname is the word 'Wuling'.
Sandwiched between the two, it is the Ping, in the real history, the Chu King Mihuai's nickname 'Huai' belongs to the Ping, in addition to the 'Hui, Xian, Ping' and the like, all belong to the Ping.
"I want to hear about it." Xiong Wuliang's face was pale, and he bowed his hand slightly to Jing Chong, which can be regarded as giving the latter enough face.
Jing Chong stroked his beard and smiled: "In the old man's opinion, the name of the former king should be chosen among 'Huai', 'Xun', and 'Si'. β
Xiong Wuliang was slightly distracted.
In real history, the king of Chu, Mi Huai, was deceived to the Qin State and died in a foreign land, and the last nickname was the word 'Huai' - this word is not good or bad, and it has a hint of pity.
I didn't expect that in this time and space, the evaluation that the uncle got after his death was actually the word 'Huai'!
It makes sense.
Although the king of Chu was defeated, he would rather die than give in, and the people of the country cherished him...... The word 'Huai' is a matter of course.
Xiong Wuliang bowed his head lightly, and after muttering for a long time, he made a decision: "Add one more word - Zhao!" β
Zhaohuai!
King Chu Zhaohuai!
Zhao, the sound of Xuanyuan, the prestige and the courtesy.
Those who cherish are benevolent and benevolent, and the people think of their benefits.
Although it is not a first-class beauty, it is also quite highly evaluated...... This uncle has the best face in his life, and he can be regarded as a decent person, and the word 'Zhaohuai' is the last admiration that my eldest nephew has for you!
Jing Chong furrowed his eyebrows, as if he was not very satisfied with Xiong Wuliang's arbitrariness...... But in the end, he held back: "It's okay." β
Qu Yuan naturally unconditionally supported Xiong Wuliang's decision.
As for Zhao Ju, the old fox stood there without saying a word, and those who didn't know thought he was dead.
The ministers then said in unison: "Zhaohuai, it's very suitable!" β
β¦β¦
The first issue passed quickly.
As we all know, the finalization of the name of the former king is not the focus of today's ...... The Marquis of Quyang took over the government strongly, and even 'represented the dynasty', with an ambitious and iron-fisted appearance, it is impossible to just set a name for the dead.
The main hall quickly became audible for falling pins.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Xiong Wuliang's face-
What will this regent say next?
Isn't it going to be forced to change the law?
The ministers looked at each other vaguely. Faintly, there was already an inexplicable resistance, quietly rising in the main hall......
