"Humph, foster father, maybe this matter is really because Qi Weng didn't learn from it?"
Li Guo remained silent. After patting Li Laiheng's hand, he ordered Gong and Jiang Xueyi: "Two gentlemen, I have never read the Book of Songs, so of course I don't know this sentence. You two gentlemen also
There is no need to talk about this matter to the outside world. If it reaches Qi Weng’s ears, or His Highness hears it, it will always be bad. Do you understand what I mean?"
Gong and Jiang Xueyi, a minister and a minister of the Li government, looked at each other and bowed to Li Guo, saying, "I'd like to ask you to replace the commander-in-chief."
Gong then raised his head, looked at Li Laiheng and said: "I have heard that Xiao Li is well-informed and knowledgeable, and today I met him. It is true that he has a good reputation. If the commander-in-chief and Xiao Li think it is necessary, I can meet him in person.
Your Majesty, I will mention the matter of Marquis Jing to Your Majesty. This title is indeed very indecent. Considering the relationship between Your Majesty and the Commander-in-Chief, as long as Your Majesty understands the truth behind Jing Shu’s praise and criticism, he will definitely give a new title to the Commander-in-Chief.
Select a title. After all, the enthronement ceremony has not yet been held, and these titles are only tentatively drafted."
Li Laiheng came over and held Gong's hand. He knew that Gong Shangshu said that he had chosen Li Guo between Li Guo and Niu Jinxing, so he smiled and said: "Gong Shangshu is also from Shaanxi, right? We are all the same."
The people of Qin have similar customs and similar local pronunciation, so they need to move around more in the future. In the future, when we invade the army and build a country, we must complement each other in civil and military affairs."
Jiang Xueyi hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Xiao Li, Shuai, we must interact with each other more in the future!"
"No……"
Just as Li Laiheng was having a heated conversation with Gong and Jiang Xueyi, Li Guo shook his head and said: "Forget it, Gong Shangshu, as I said before, just forget about the Marquis of Jing incident. You don't want to talk to His Highness anymore.
I have mentioned this matter. It is not important. Don’t tell anyone about it anymore. There are still 200,000 soldiers hanging over the heads of the Ming and Qing armies. Where is the time to argue about the title of marquis? Don’t tell anyone about it anymore.
It’s just a matter of provoking material disputes.”
"this……?"
Gong and Jiang Xueyi both turned their attention to Li Laiheng. Li Laiheng took a breath, waved his hand and said: "What the foster father said makes sense. Now the war is fierce and dangerous. The Ming and Qing allied forces of 200,000 have the initiative.
An attack may come at any time. Even if we persuade His Highness to rest and recuperate and consolidate the foundation, once the Ming and Qing coalition forces take the initiative to attack, shouldn't we have to fight a big battle, especially a big battle? The initiative is not in my hands. Who knows what the situation will be like tomorrow?
How about it? It is indeed not the right time to have any bad arguments with Qi Weng at this time."
"Gentlemen, let's put this aside for now. Leghorn and I have other things to discuss, so I won't accompany you."
"Father..."
After the two adults from the Li government bowed their heads together, Li Guo picked up Li Laiheng and walked out. Fang Yiren, who was waiting outside, was confused when he saw the situation. Li Laiheng shook his head at him and asked Fang Yiren to go back to the house first. He and Li Laiheng
Let’s talk about other things later.
Li Guo was wearing a military blue cloth robe. He took Li Laiheng's arm and walked to the street. There were no guards behind him.
There is still some chilling atmosphere on the streets of Taiyuan City. Are there detectives and messengers riding fast horses rushing through the streets? Just like Li Guo said, Huang Taiji's 200,000 troops are hanging in the air.
Over the heads of the Chuang army, attacks may come at any time, and the initiative lies with the enemy. Even if the Chuang army wants to consolidate its roots, it will be very difficult.
"Do you know that King Chuang is going to change his name?" Li Guo asked.
"Oh?" Li Laiheng had never heard of this, so he couldn't help being surprised. "You want to change your name? Is it the idea of Song's military advisor? To answer the prophecy of some eighteen-year-old boy?"
"No. King Chuang wants to change the last character "成" in his name to the character "晟" with a sun on the top and a 成 character on the bottom. Because among the ten taboo characters drawn up by Niu Jinxing, the character "成" is too common and should be avoided.
It would bring a lot of inconvenience. Therefore, after repeated deliberation by the civil servants of the Li government, King Chuang decided to change the name to Zi Sheng. The meaning of the character Sheng is brightness and prosperity. Everyone thinks that the meaning is very good, and it is easier to avoid taboos than the written character.
"
Li Laiheng had previously created ten commonly used characters as taboo characters because of Li Zicheng's title to his father and ancestor three generations ago. He was not optimistic about the recent situation among the upper echelons of the army.
But after hearing what Li Guo said, it seemed that Li Zicheng had not lost his mind yet: "This will make people's lives easier, but it will make King Chuang himself have to change his name."
Li Guo then stared at Li Laiheng and said slowly: "In addition to King Chuang changing his name... His Highness wants Shuangxi and I to also change our names."
"What's going on?"
"Yesterday, His Highness called me and Shuang Xi into the palace. According to His Highness, the word "Guo" on my side has a bad connotation, so I simply took advantage of the enthronement ceremony and the title to change my name to a name with a better connotation...
...His Highness has already ordered a name with the word "Jin" for returning home in splendor. As for Shuangxi, it was because, according to Qi Weng, the name Shuang Xi was too tacky and, how should I put it, not very tame. Qi Weng said that we should just give it together.
Shuangxi's name was also changed, and His Highness ordered it to be named Nai, which means big tripod."
Li Laiheng narrowed his eyes and said: "The emperor uses nine tripods, the princes use seven tripods, the great officials use five tripods, the Yuan Dynasties use three tripods, and the scholars use one tripod. I wonder, Brother Shuangxi, how many tripods will the word "nai" be?"
This matter is actually quite subtle. Li Laiheng knew that many people in the army did change their names because of taboos in history. For example, Gu Kecheng changed his name to Gu Ying.
But obviously, Li Guo changed his name to Li Jin, and Li Shuangxi changed his name to Li Nai.
These two things have nothing to do with avoidance.
If we insist on making a connection, consider the fact that Li Zicheng changed his name to Li Zisheng. Li Guo's "Guo" and Li Shuangxi's "Double Happiness" are also commonly used words. If one of them inherits the Chuangjun regime in the future, in order to avoid being
To avoid the inconvenience caused by the taboo, changing the name is indeed the right thing to do.
It's just that now Li Zicheng helped Li Guo and Li Shuangxi change their names at the same time, and the names he changed, Li Jin and Li Nai, both have good meanings, making it difficult to guess what Li Zicheng's intentions were.
"The word Jin is much more commonly used than the word Nai... I wonder what your highness means?"
Li Guo shook his head and said: "I'm just telling you these things, don't think too much about it. The most important thing now is not the enthronement ceremony, nor the conferment of titles, but Huang Taiji's 200,000 troops. Yu
Is it true that the world of Chuangjun is divided into two parts? I can’t see yet. The journey of a thousand miles has just begun. I don’t want to weaken our own power because of some meaningless things within the Chuangjun.
strength.
So I am talking to you about these things today to make you understand something. For the current Chuang army, our strength in the north is already weaker than the Ming and Qing coalition forces, so we cannot weaken our strength because of unforeseen incidents.
.Unity...The most important thing now is to maintain the unity of the Chuang Army.
I have been to Xiangyang and Jingzhou, and I have seen all your arrangements and systems in Huguang. If something happens in the future, maybe the future of Chuangjun will depend on your arrangements... So I want you to understand even more.
At this point, the unity of the Chuang army must be maintained, otherwise it will be impossible to fight for the world."
Li Laiheng smiled bitterly and said: "Father, have we ever stirred up any trouble? From the beginning to the end, Qi Weng was not the only one who had to shave his head and shoulder the burden of arranging some awesome party. Li Dangzhi said that if there is no party struggle, there must be party struggle.
Is it? I recently heard Leshan say that now Qiweng is having a serious quarrel with Song Qijiao and Gong, which has resulted in the distinction between the Qin Party, the Yu Party, the Jinshi Party and the Juren Party.
Our Chuang Army has not yet officially founded the country, and Qi Weng has made such a fool of himself. I think even if there are any troubles in the future, it will most likely be on their side."
"What's their side, our side? The Chuang army is one and the same, what side is divided into? Laiheng, don't worry too much about Qi Weng. Qi Weng is a scholar and has no soldiers in his hands, so he can't affect the situation of the battle. And his son Niu
Isn't Quan now working as the governor of Xiangyang Prefecture in Huguang? Through this relationship, you also tried to persuade Qi Weng."
"Qi Weng Wubing, Uncle Yufeng, Brother Shuangxi, they have quite a lot of troops..."
Li Laiheng wanted to say something more, but the two of them saw from a distance in the distance of the street, Li Zicheng's Huang Longzhu was slowly approaching. Then a group of neatly arranged cavalry guards wearing sky blue arrow jackets with small yellow caps opened
