120 Six counties for the country
"Go back to Your Majesty, this is the Yongnushu Shu (sǒu). "Situ Yuan Wei replied: "Yongnu is the name of the shui. There is water on all sides called Yong, and it is called Nu. The Yongnushu Shu is very large, vast for thousands of miles, and the east is at the sea. There are fish, salt, dates, and chestnuts."
"Erya Shishu" note says: "Shu is a big lake."
Nowadays, the Yongnushu Shu was connected to the sea. The fishing and salt cooking industries were very prosperous.
"Where is the Zezhong?" His Majesty asked again.
"It's Yongnu County." Yuan Wei replied again.
"Why are you trapped in the marsh on all sides?" His Majesty asked three times.
"I reported to Your Majesty that it was because of the sea invasion. The sea water flooded and connected to the big lakes. Even the county was trapped." Shangshu Ling Cao Jie replied: "At the intervening between the two Han Dynasties, the wind and clouds were surging, and the tide was overwhelming. The sea water flooded and flooded the fertile land. To the west of Yongnu County, Quanzhou County was set up in the former Han Dynasty. Because it was flooded by sea water, many people had fled. Although the Han Dynasty has not yet withdrawn the county, it is not far away."
"The Shangshu Ling, what he said is very true." Situ Yuan Wei also said: "Yuyang County is under the jurisdiction of nine counties: Yuyang, Hunu, Lu County, Yongnu, Quanzhou, Pinggu, Anle, Qianxi, and Qianping. The population of the nine counties is only larger than that of one large county. The old ministers think that many counties can be abolished."
Yuyang County is located in the east of the Bohai Sea. At the intersection of the Han Dynasty, it suffered from sea invasions (see Volume 2: Linxiang 1.107 The Land of the Nine Rivers" for details).
Especially in the southern counties, homes were destroyed and fertile land was baptized. The people fled together, but one out of ten were not preserved.
"Why not put the Yongnushu into the same place?" His Majesty asked.
"This..." The three dukes and nine ministers in the palace were dumbfounded.
If the Yongnushu Shou is included in the feudal state, then Quanzhou and Yongnu counties must be included in the same!
In this way, the generals of Linxiang Hou were under the jurisdiction of: Fanyang, Linxiang, Fangcheng, Anci, Quanzhou, Yongnu, and six counties were counties and states!
It spans three counties and six counties make the country.
It is like a creeping tiger, lying across the two states of Gu and Ji. It is standing with Zhongshan and rivers and streams.
"I don't know what you think?" His Majesty asked again.
"The old minister has no objection." Sikong Zhang Ji took the lead in expressing his opinion.
The Grand Marshal Xu Yu immediately left the list: "My minister, please discuss it."
In the hall, Yang Ci, Cui Lie and other old ministers sighed.
Why are these two people the first to make a statement?
Therefore, at the beginning of the year, Your Majesty issued an edict, ordering the ministers to report to the governors, and those who were greedy and cruel to the people. The Grand Marshal Xu Yu (Ji), Sikong Zhang Ji flattered the eunuchs and accepted bribes. All the eunuchs and guests were corrupt and corrupt, they ignored them, but reported to the remote small county as officials as honest and upright officials, and twenty-six people had achieved great achievements.
The people went to the palace to complain about the wronged. The Situ Chen Dan and the Consort Cao Cao submitted a memorial to impeach Xu Yu and others, and all the actions of the party were out of the party's private affairs, which was to "release the owl and imprison the phoenix". When Your Majesty heard the news, he blamed Xu Yu and others, and appointed all the wronged and those who were elected as Consorts.
The two of them had made mistakes in their previous governance and were blamed by His Majesty. Then they were eager to flatter and took the lead in expressing themselves to please His Majesty.
"Taichang?" His Majesty suddenly spoke.
Yang Ci left the list firmly: "The old minister is here."
"Why did Taichang not say a word?" His Majesty asked with a smile.
"If it is not Liu, it is not a king, it is not a king. It is the governor of the Western Regions to assist the Han general and Linxiang marquis. It has made great contributions to the country and is also a relative of the Han family. It should be named a king. The dukes in the palace have proper words and deeds, and the old ministers have no objection." Yang Ci bowed and replied.
"Situ?" His Majesty asked again.
Situ Chen Dan also stepped out: "My memory and Taichang have the same thoughts as each other. The Marquis of Linxiang should be granted the title of king."
"Since that's the case, the Secretary of State will write an edict." The money and goods were all settled.
Your Majesty was about to get up and stop the court, but he heard the Minister of State Cao Jie lying on the ground and saying, "Your Majesty, it is a big deal to be named king. Is the edict too short? It is better to use a strategy letter."
"The Book of Zhou": "Whenever you order princes and ministers, you will make a decision."
"The wise man is a simple person... to order the princes and princes; the three right officials are exempted from crimes, and they are also given wise man."
The princes and kings need to be enfeoffed.
"So good." His Majesty nodded happily.
Cai Yong's "Duduan Jue": "The strategy is simple. The system is two feet long and half short. Secondly, one is long and one is short, two pieces are attached."
"Book of Han" records that there were four orders from the emperor in the early Han Dynasty, and the first one was called "Ce Shu". At that time, he only wrote in wooden slips, so it was called "Ce", which was also consistent with "Ce".
Shangshu Ling Cao Jie asked again: "You dare to ask Your Majesty, what is the name of a country?"
Only then did His Majesty remember that he would give the ban country a loud name.
"How about Yan State?" His Majesty threw away the bricks and attracted jade.
"The old minister thinks it's better to have two words." Yang Ci stood up first to object.
The so-called great achievements are the master. The commander of the Western Regions is the general of the Han Dynasty. The limelight is in full swing. The wood is in the forest and the wind will destroy it. Since you have already won a great country, it is better to be low-key. You may attract villains and be jealous.
"I'm going to discuss it."
"What is the right name for Taichang?" His Majesty looked kind and happy.
Yang Ci then turned his attention to the map of the mountains and rivers of the Han Dynasty: "The fiefdom starts from Fanyang in the west, passes through Linxiang, Fangcheng, Anci, Quanzhou, Yongnu, and reaches the Bohai Sea in the east. Why not be called the Bohai King?"
"There is Bohai County in Jizhou. How can one be granted the Bohai King?" Some people objected.
Your Majesty looked up when he heard the sound: "Shangshu Lu, what do you think?"
"I have lived in Youzhou for a long time. I often heard that 'The southern part of Ji is Zhao, and the northern part of Ji is Yan'. The Linxiang Hou was granted a country, and it is between Yan and Zhao. Why not match the 'North and South' with 'Yan and Zhao'?"
"Oh?" His Majesty thought for a moment, then nodded happily: "How should Southern Yan and Northern Zhao be elected?"
"I think Nanyan is the best." The Grand Marshal Xu Yu showed his spirit. Doesn't Your Majesty just like the King of Yan?
"The country is in the north, and it seems inappropriate to take Nanyan. According to the old ministers, there is no ambiguity in Northern Zhao." Situ Chen Dan said.
"The country is full of territories, why not call it a deep territories?" Then some people began to mix with the territories.
"The State of Shenze has long been withdrawn and merged into Fanyang. How can one name the fiefdom be named by a corner of the land? This is a generalization. The word "Tingwei" is not acceptable." As soon as he finished speaking, someone came out to object.
Before Cui Lie could join the list, someone else spoke: "Since six counties are combined as countries, why not take two words among these six counties?"
So the court officials were taken a detachment again.
They all thought about how to get the best among the six counties.
Seeing the ministers in the palace arguing endlessly, Your Majesty couldn't help but smile bitterly.
I thought it was the most difficult to break up the land and demarcate the territory. Unexpectedly, it was a dilemma to choose a suitable name.
The court was like a downtown.
The three dukes and nine ministers all quoted scriptures and spitted everywhere, but no one could convince anyone.
Seeing that the sun was west, there was no such thing as a quarrel.
Suddenly I heard someone shouting loudly: "Why not call Ji Guo?"
"How can Jixian be named after it is not under the ban? "
"What Xiaguan said was not the old capital of Yan State, but the vassal states of the Western Zhou Dynasty." The speaker was Cao Cao.
Your Majesty then looked at Sikong Zhang Ji: "Does Sikong know about Ji Country?"
"I know it." Then he told the history of Ji State.
The Ji Kingdom lasted for more than a thousand years. The king was named Yi (some say Qi), a descendant of Yao.
The Ji State was established in Shang, and it was intermittent and the specific inheritance was no longer verified. In the early Western Zhou Dynasty, the Ji State was granted the title of the Zhou emperor and re-established the country. Until the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, it was destroyed in Yan.
Later, Yan State was established and Ji State was named Ji State.
"Ji Country..." It seems that His Majesty, he is quite moved.
Yang Ci couldn't help but look back at the counselor Cao Cao. After all, he was a close friend of Linxiang Hou.
Although Ji State is not as eye-catching as Yan State, it is also a fiefdom with the same word.
Moreover, many people at that time mistakenly thought that Ji State was around Ji City, but they would not think that it was a Western Zhou Dynasty fiefdom!
