Chapter 527 The Five Virtues Always Say
"Okay!" Wei Feng shouted loudly: "When the banquet is held tonight, I will follow up the imperial edict from the court!"
"Wait!" Cui Hao immediately stopped and said, "General, you deserve it, Jiuxi and Sanli, but this Yue Gong... you have to think carefully. Once you accept it, you cannot change it. In the future, you will be called the King of Yue. If you call the Emperor, you will be called the King of Yue. Isn't that right?"
Cui Hao hesitated and looked vague, but everyone present understood that he clearly disliked this Yue. Jiang Xuan couldn't help but say, "The general is a Kuaiji person. He started from Kuaiji. Kuaiji was the old place of Yue, and he was called Yue Gong. He deserves his name. What's wrong?"
Cui Hao waved his hand and said, "If you are more and more stable than the rest of the land, it would be fine. But the general's ambition is in the world. How could he use the size of Jiangnan as his country's name?"
Xiang Mi said unconvincedly: "So should the capital Yu Ji be called Yu Yan? Yan is the weakest country among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period. What's more, the Murong clan used Yan as the national name. How could the general use the Hulu? In addition, the other famous national names in the north were all used indiscriminately, as in Wei, including Cao Wei, Ran Wei, Tuoba Wei and Zhai Wei, and Qin, Fu Jian, Qin, Yao Qian, Qin, Zhao, Liu Yao and Shi Le were named Zhao, and Han Chu No. 2, even more unscrupulous. In fact, the names of the country were determined by fiefs or hometowns. The general was a person from Kuaiji, and the name of Yue was justified. Since Cui Dalangjun looked down on the people of Yue, he might as well say it!"
Strictly speaking, Xiang Mi is not a Yue person. His ancestor Xiang Lang, Xiang Chong was from Jingxiang and Chu person, but he had worked as a bandit in Yixing. Yixing was sandwiched between Wu and Yue, and compared with the name of the northern country, he was more inclined to Yue, at least psychologically closer.
"Damn it!" Wei Feng couldn't help but curse, "It must be Liu Muzhi's fault. This old guy is full of bad water. He expected that I called Yue Gong, and the scholars and people in the north would definitely not like it. If he took his name, the old subordinates of Kuaiji would complain again. How could there be such a treacherous person in the world?"
Although Wei Feng was cursing Liu Muzhi on his lips, he actually didn't like Yue. The key is that the rogue Monkey Kingdom in later generations also added Nan to the Yue character. Although he was 99% sure that history had changed and that country would not appear again in the future. But when he thought about it, he felt uncomfortable!
After cursing Liu Muzhi, Wei Feng asked Cui Hao: "Since Boyan proposed that Yue is inappropriate. Then tell me, what is the best name for him?"
Cui Hao said confidently: "Although the national name has always been determined by fiefdom or hometown, the times are changing. We should not just stick to ancient methods. The national name is nothing more than a name. It is a noun. As General Xiang said, the numbers in the north have long been used inflated, while the names in the south, such as Chu, Wu, Yue, etc., are suspected of being indifferent, so Hao has a compromise.
The general was born in the Wei family in Hedong. The Wei family originated from the Ji family. It is ancient and noble. At the latest next spring, there will be no suspense when he gets it from Hedong. This means returning home in glory. The general's surname is Wei, so he takes Dingwei as the name. It can not only avoid disputes between the north and the south, but also convince the world. I wonder what the general thinks?"
Cui Hao looked at Wei Feng with a confident face, and smiled. Everyone else shouted, thinking that it was true that he was from a famous family. Cui Hao had great talent!
Wei Feng frowned and hesitated, "Although Boyan's words are reasonable, no one in the world has ever used his own surname as the national name. For example, Ji, Wei, and Liu are Zhou, Qin and Han dynasties. According to my opinion, it is to prevent people with the same surname from being superior to others. As for the Wei surname, there are more than 100,000 people with the surname Wei in the world? If Wei is used as the name, wouldn't these people become national surnames? If anyone commits a criminal offense, who dares to arrest him? If he catches him, it will offend the national name, and if he does not arrest him, he will condon his crimes. Do you think that's it?"
"This..." Cui Hao bowed with apologies: "It's Hao's inadequate consideration, so please forgive me."
Wei Feng waved his hand and signaled that it didn't matter.
For a moment, the tent became quiet. The northern country name was used excessively, and the southern country name was suspected of being relatively peaceful, and the Wei surname could not be used. What should we do? Everyone was thinking on behalf of Wei Feng.
Young girl Chen frowned and asked, "General, this is not OK, that is not OK. You must have an idea, right?"
Wei Feng pondered and said, "Shang is the virtue of gold, metal overcomes wood, and Bai, Zhou is the virtue of fire, fire overcomes gold, and Chi, Qin is the virtue of water, water overcomes fire, and Hei. Emperor Gaozu of Han Liu Bang did not recognize the Qin Dynasty, and jumped directly from the fire virtue of Zhou to water virtue, and hei. Emperor Wu of Han also believed that skipping the Qin Dynasty was inappropriate, so he changed the virtue of water to earth virtue, and Huang, and to Liu Xiang, Liu Xin and his son believed that the law of dynasty replacement was the mutual generation of the five elements, rather than the mutual restraint of the five elements. This was recognized by Wang Mang. The Han Dynasty re-defines virtue belongs to fire virtue, and his own new dynasty was fire produced by earth, which belongs to earth virtue.
In the Later Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu also recognized the theory of mutual generation and accepted the Han Dynasty's fire virtue, so the Han Dynasty was also called Yan Han. Cao Wei replaced the Han Dynasty and continued to be the earth virtue, Shu extended to the fire virtue of the Han Dynasty, and Wu also became the earth virtue, and Jin was used to replace the earth virtue.
As for the regimes established by Hu chiefs of various races, they were all kinds of different families. Liu Yuan insisted that he was a relative of the Han Dynasty. Because Liu Bang once implemented a policy of marriage to the Huns, he inherited the fire virtue of the Han Dynasty. When Liu Yao changed the Han Dynasty to Zhao, the fire virtue was changed to water virtue, which means that Jin Shengshui replaced the Jin Dynasty. Shi Le also considered himself to be water virtue, but the Jin Dynasty was still safe and sound in Jiangdong.
Murong clan determined virtue as wood virtue, because Yan originated in the east, and the East Qinglong and the Qingnian were wood virtues. Moreover, Yan came from the destruction of Jie Zhao, and it was not far-fetched to produce wood. The Qin State established by Fu clan lacked interest in the five virtues and did not determine virtue, so the national fortune was not moral and fell apart at its peak. Fu Jian was strangled to death, while Yao clan claimed to be fire virtue. As for why, it was not clear that it was not clear. It seemed that Yao Xing had to be caught and asked clearly. However, the most shameless one was Liu Bobo, who actually called himself the descendant of Xia Yu and inherited the Jinde of Xia.
Okay, let’s get back to the point, according to the theory of mutual generation, I used to serve Jin, and metal produces water, which is the virtue of water. The country’s name should be related to water. However, the Wei and Jin dynasties were inherited in the same lineage, and they were actually usurped by the name of Zen, and the country was divided into pieces, and the people were not as good as pigs and dogs. It was like encouraging people who were unfaithful and unfilial, unkind and unrighteous, and the main offender was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was in charge of the superiors. This proved that the theory of mutual generation was not applicable to dynasty replacement.
In the future, my new dynasty will be the end of an old era and the beginning of a new unified dynasty. The tripod will remove the old ills and all things will flourish. Therefore, we should not use gold to produce water to follow the Jin Dynasty. Instead, we should use the five elements to restrain each other, fire to overcome metal, break the old decay, and be reborn in Nirvana in the fire!"
As he said that, Wei Feng chanted loudly: "Don't dream of vaguely cursing the passing river. Looking back a hundred years ago, the Hu cavalry raging the beacon smoke, and the black hand hangs the overlord whip high. He has great ambitions to sacrifice, and dares to change the sun and the moon to a new sky. He is happy to see the waves of rice and beans, and the heroes are all over the place.
Fire means brightness, and brightness means sun and moon. The sun and moon are the parents of all things. If the sun and moon are separated from the world, they will be destroyed and decayed. Therefore, I took the name of the country as Ming. The court has destroyed Yan and named me as a prince. Then I will destroy Wei Li and be called king!"
Wei Feng's body was full of domineering spirit, everyone was shocked and their blood was boiling!
"Okay! OK!" Cui Hao even called two more: "One of the five virtues always says, and the other of the sun and the moon can change the new sky. Hao can follow the general and create an eternal prosperous era. It is a blessing in life!" As he said that, he bowed deeply with the generals in the tent!
Although Young Girl Chen did not give a tribute because there was no need to give a tribute between her and Wei Feng, her beautiful eyes were still full of excitement and pride!
Wei Feng waved his hand: "Okay, let's get up, let's go out and see what the Jiuxi looks like."
The group followed Wei Feng out, and there were more than ten large cars outside the tent. Wei Feng called out: "Open the car."
"As for order!" The imperial guards in the court did not dare to be slow, so they quickly opened the car door and moved the things down.
The so-called nine tins began with Emperor Wu of Han, one tin carriage and horse, another tin clothes, three tin tigers, four tin musical instruments, five tin tin, six tin Zhuhu, seven tin bows and arrows, eight tin cals and axes, nine tin horns, and nine tin horns, which are called nine tins.
Everyone else stood by the side and dared not touch them. Wei Feng picked up the bow and arrow. This bow and arrow are not ordinary bow and arrow, which are divided into red bow and black special bow and arrow. Among them, red bow and arrow are hundreds of bow and arrow and thousands of bow and arrow, which have almost no lethality. It is just a ritual instrument.
Wei Feng shook his head and said, "Everyone says that those who receive the Nine Tin are unsubmitted. Although I am not afraid of court accusations, I should not accept it. After all, my virtue is the mutual restraint of the five virtues, not the mutual generation of the five virtues. Xuanbo, tell me, are I still accepting these Nine Tin or not? "
Cui Hao did not answer immediately, but thought about it secretly. There was no way. Wei Feng's question was too tricky. No one was on the left, but it could only be one of these two answers. If his answer was ambiguous, it would not solve the problem, but would be under the ball and would be despised.
After a long time, Cui Hao bowed: "Hao thought that the general should accept it. Although the Ming Dynasty was born with the mutual restraint of the five virtues, the Jin Dynasty was an unforgettable existence after all. Moreover, although the Jin Dynasty was incorrectly attained, it also triggered a catastrophe. However, the looseness of the Jin Dynasty was unprecedented in history, making Confucianism no longer the only one. Metaphysics and Buddhism flourished one after another. Known people were freed from the long-term study of the scriptures and could think about the true meaning of life and the universe. From this perspective, the Jin Dynasty cannot be completely denied. In addition, no matter what, General, you are always a Jin person. The nine tins of the court court do not conflict with your five virtues. Just think of it as a break from the previous dynasty."
"Well~~" Wei Feng nodded and said, "You are right. You must not forget your roots. I will submit to the court, receive the general, Jiuxi and Sanli, resign from Yue Gong, and be appointed as the King of Ming. I will destroy Qin and become emperor in the future. It will be the Ming Dynasty!"
Cui Hao had been observing Wei Feng's expression carefully. When he saw a response, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Cui Hao's knowledge was very mixed. For him, the Han Dynasty was indeed strong, but his ideological control was extremely strict. In addition to Confucianism, it also had to be Dong Zhongshu's Confucianism. All other knowledge was heresy, which was disliked by him.
His ideal new dynasty was freedom of speech, relaxation of ideological control, and the literati and officials formed supervision and constraints on the emperor, similar to the communion of the world like Jiangdong, rather than the emperor's words. Obviously, Wei Feng's performance was a good start. (To be continued...)
