When he turned his head, no one was looking at him.
Today's meeting is very important. Xiao Rong hasn't been in charge of anything for many days. He doesn't recognize half of the people present. Some are newly promoted officials, and some are those who surrendered from the Nanyong court.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Rong turned his head back.
Others came one after another. When Yu Shaoxie came in, he looked at him with a complicated expression. When Song Suo came in, he looked at him with a subtle expression. When Fuzi came in, he looked at him as usual.
Xiao Rong: “…………”
The colander lives up to its name.
How many people did Danran tell this?
In fact, Danran cannot be blamed. There are many people who cannot keep a secret. Word spreads from one person to ten people, and from ten to a hundred people. Naturally, many people know about it.
Everyone was present, but Qu Yunmie had not shown up yet. Everyone waited for another quarter of an hour before this big shot finally arrived.
Seeing Xiao Rong sitting at the front row, he paused, then continued walking towards his seat.
As soon as he sat down, everyone stood up and saluted respectfully to Qu Yunmie, saying in unison: "Your Majesty."
Xiao Rong who was still sitting: "…………"
Xiao Rong was a little stunned, because he really hadn't been to a meeting for a long time, and he didn't know that everyone was so serious now. He was a little slow and was about to stand up, but Qu Yunmie just said indifferently: "Sit down."
So everyone else sat down, but Xiao Rong was still standing.
Not only did Xiao Rong not recognize those people, but those people also did not recognize the legendary Xiao Situ. This was his first appearance, and his performance was so bad that people could not help but wonder how he got the position of Situ. …
Xiao Rongdun sat back down again, his face turning pale and blue, feeling extremely embarrassed.
Yang Zangyi was sitting next to Gao Xunzhi. Seeing this, he stroked his beard and smiled kindly.
Xiao Rong: “…”
If I had known that day would come, I would have killed you!
No one commented on this episode, and soon everyone began to discuss business. With the participation of surrendered officials like Nan Yong, it had to be said that the Zhenbei Army was no longer a makeshift team. Everyone expressed their opinions in a very literary manner, and as they talked, there were signs that a quarrel might break out.
"Since ancient times, the name of a country should be a continuation of the name of a feudal state, but the word Zhenbei does not belong to one of the vassal states. In my opinion, it is better to use the name of Yanmen County where Your Majesty made his fortune as the name of the country."
Xiao Rong blinked at the person who was speaking, and understood. This was a fool. …………
Dai State was the fiefdom that Nan Yong wanted to give to Qu Yunmie. When he had nothing, he didn't want to have anything to do with Dai State. Now that he has everything, he happily wears the title of King of Dai. Is he sick?
Xiao Rong began to watch the show, and as expected, this suggestion was quickly rejected, and it was rejected by an unexpected person.
Yang Zangyi sneered, "In ancient times, Yanmen County did not belong to Dai State. It once belonged to Loufan, and it also belonged to Zhao State. It belonged to Dai State only in recent years. If we want to follow the old rules, the Fifth Lord's proposal is not appropriate."
Xiao Rong looked at Yang Zangyi and was no longer so angry with him.
This man is worthy of having been immersed in officialdom for a lifetime. Even the criticism is not too light or too severe. The old man surnamed Diwu obviously has his own little thoughts. No matter what the reason for Yang Zangyi's action is, he is speaking for the new dynasty, and that is enough.
Then someone suggested that the country should be named Zhao, but few people agreed. Someone else suggested Bing, because Yanmen County was also part of Bingzhou, but using the state name as the country name was not done before. Although the Zhenbei Army took the lead, there would definitely be people who would follow suit in the future, and then it would not be a big deal. But when they were alive, there must be people who laughed at this country name.
Then some people mentioned You, some mentioned Liao, some mentioned Ping, and the most outrageous one mentioned Long, because he had done an investigation and found that Qu Yunmie's ancestor had served as the prime minister of Longcheng Kingdom. Rounding it off, it can also be said that Qu Yunmie was from Longcheng Kingdom.
Xiao Rong was convinced by this man. Long Chao, listen to it yourself. Does it sound good? What's the difference between this and naming someone a glutton? They will be laughed at by other dynasties! …………
Xiao Rong fiddled with the tassel on his belt. He listened to the argument of others with an indifferent expression, while also being on guard against Qu Yunmie suddenly calling him.
Qu Yunmie remained silent, and Xiao Rong felt that he was just planning something, and he would definitely call him and ask him to express his opinion in a while.
But he guessed wrong today. Qu Yunmie didn't have such an idea. Just like the reign title, he had already thought about the name of the country. The reason why he sat here and listened to other people's suggestions was just that he wanted to give these people some face and let them feel a sense of participation. ...
After listening to almost everything, Qu Yunmie made the final decision: "Stop arguing. I want to use Yan as the name of our country."
Everyone was stunned, and Yu Shaoxie asked him: "Your Majesty, are you talking about... the Yan in Yan State?"
Qu Yunmie: "The geese of Yanmen County."
Everyone: “…………”
Qu Yunmie had a sullen face, so no one dared to say no directly. But they didn't want to compromise like this, so they all used roundabout words. The main point was, no, no one has done this before, it is too petty to use the name of a county as the country's name, not to mention that the word is not very auspicious, and when people mention geese, the first thing that comes to mind is definitely wild geese, but how many years can wild geese live? No, no.
Qu Yunmie: "Then the Yan of Yan State can live for a long time?"
Qu Yunmie: "Yanmen County is not where I made my fortune, but where the Zhenbei Army rose to power. If you have any objections, I will promote Yanmen County to Yanmen State in the future. Don't mention any old precedents to me. My practice will be the old precedent for future generations."
Qu Yunmie: "Besides, even if it is a wild goose, so what? The wild goose is one of the three books and six ceremonies. It has symbolized loyalty since ancient times and is the most pure bird. I and the other soldiers are just like wild geese. After the northern geese fly south, it does not mean that we have forgotten the north. Migratory birds must eventually return home. I named our country after Yan to remind the people of the Yan Dynasty that no matter how far they go, they must remember to return home in the end."
Xiao Rong raised his eyelids, and Qu Yunmie also looked at him. The others were whispering, wondering what Qu Yunmie meant. Could it be that in the future they would not only use wild geese as the name of their country, but also use wild geese as the national totem?
But the totems of the Central Plains have always been dragons and phoenixes. Wouldn't it be a bit strange to add a wild goose? Think about it, from now on, the dragon is on the left, the phoenix is on the right, and there is a wild goose flying in the middle. This, this, this - only a few people know the real reason why Qu Yunmie did this. Those who are sensible basically turned their eyes away. Only Song Suo, with a pair of big round eyes, stared at the two people, wanting to see what they were talking about. …………
