The royal family of the Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 529 Champion Hou

Three days later, the three public resolutions announced the world: special permission Fang Yunfenghou. At the same time, news came out from Wumu Mansion, allowing Fang Yun to seal the Marquis.

The documents of the Taihe Hall and the Military Aircraft Office were sent to the Zhongyang Purple Hall in the depths of the palace almost at the same time.

The matter of Fang Yun's sealing of the Marquis has come to this point" is basically settled. According to past practice, after the consent of San Gong and Wu Mu, there will generally be no objections.

The Military Aircraft Office and the Imperial Hall and the delivery of official canonized documents are more of a form of respect for the royal family. Unless it is a particularly serious situation, the general emperor opposes the resolutions of the Military Aircraft Department and the Taihe Hall.

The capital is completely boiling, and the glory of the three princes is incomparable. No one thought that under such a big controversy, the Fang family could finally get the consent of the six ministries, the three princes and Wu Mu.

However, although the decision has been made. There are still objections in all parts of Kyushu. There is still no weak opposition to the three marquises of the Fang family. Some radical Confucian students even cried bitterly, saying that after a hundred years, if the world dies, the root of the disaster will be today.

Nevertheless, the voice of support has an absolute advantage. Whether it is the Lantern Festival literary test, the three poems to persuade the grandfather, the interpretation of the emperor and the minister, or the military government's government to fight against the Confucians, all of which made Fang Yun have a very high voice among the Confucian scholars.

The strong back of the soldiers, coupled with profound Confucian skills, made Fang Yun's title of marquis less acceptable. No matter what kind of disaster will be left in the future, at least the father and son of the Fang family, which is no problem, is admired by the world!

Fang Yin, the Marquis of Sifang, guarded the barbaric wilderness for 20 years and killed countless foreigners; the eldest son Fang Lin, conquered the Yi people in the north, and defeated the Qiuhuangqi girl Xie Daojing; the second son Fang Yun killed countless enemies, and at the same time, he was both civil and military. Such a family of three

However, after that, Fang Yun's title became a headache for the six ministries and ministers. Fang Yin's title is "Sifang...", and Fang Lin's title is "Love..." What should Fang Yun be?

For a while, the soldiers and Confucianism became lively again. "One door and three marquises" is unprecedented. This kind of historical moment, if Fang Yun's name has no characteristics, it will inevitably be criticized. Moreover, Fang Yun is the most special among the father and son of the Fang family.

Fang Yun is proficient in military strategy, poetry and articles. This has made many military and Confucian generals and literati have a wonderful good impression on each other.

The proposed title is very exquisite. It must have a specific meaning and must be under its name. To be recognized by people all over the world, at least it must have its own history. It is not easy to take out the title that is recognized by soldiers and Confucianism at the same time!

In the government of the Ministry of Ceremonies, great Confucianism gathered. In addition to the six officials, there were also some generals and princes, who were invited to plan the question of Feng Fang Yunfeng. Time is very tight. According to the usual practice, after the military aircraft and the three princes issue official documents to the royal family, within seven days, you must think of the title of the new prince.

The six departments did not come up with a suitable name for five consecutive days, so they summoned the profound Confucians of the court and the generals of the military family to participate in it.

"Fang Yun is both wise and brave. It's better to be called the Marquis of Zhiyong..."

General Yixi proposed.

"It's not appropriate. We have thought about this name before. It's okay if it's someone else's wisdom and courage. It's normal. If it's used on General Fang, I'm afraid there's still a little difference..."

Zhang Gongqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Ceremonies, immediately shook his head. The Ministry of Ceremonies has always been in charge of the Marquis, so the Ministry of Ceremonies is also responsible for this discussion.

"How about literature and martial arts? General Fang has both literature and martial arts, and the Marquis of Wenwu should be worthy of his name..."

Another general said.

"No, "Wu, the name is given, only Wuhou can use it. Although General Fang has excellent military achievements, he is more talented in literature and martial arts. But there is no aristocratic bloodline" and no royal family. In the title, there must be no martial arts characters..."

This proposal was also quickly denied.

"Ping the demon marquis, right? General Fang is originally the general of Ping Yao. If he is a marquis, it's better to call him Ping Yaohou..."

Another general shouted.

As soon as the proposal came out, everyone shook their heads. This name is really unpleasant.

"The wilderness battle is just a battle experienced by General Fang. It doesn't represent all his battles! This proposal is not appropriate," one of them said.

"Fang General's military mother is extremely kind, and he once used poetry to reconcile Mrs. Huayang and Liu Zhengxun as a beautiful talk. Another brother used the ladder, and once impeached the Marquis of Wu for his brother. It's better to give the number "Xiaotihou, how..."

This is a suggestion from a great scholar.

This proposal was immediately opposed by the soldiers: "No. General Fang not only has the meaning of filial piety, but also a martial arts wizard. At a young age, he has the cultivation of heaven and earth. If the filial piety ladder gives the number, I'm afraid it's biased..."

A civilian Hou Dao.

"General Fang's poetry and articles are excellent. It's still better to be titled "Hua Zhanghou." Hua can represent martial arts, and it can also represent text. If you take Huazhanghou, it should be possible..."

Another Confucianism.

"Hua Biang's article is okay, but Bianwu is not strong. Still disapproval..."

This proposal was still opposed by the soldiers. The Confucian color is too strong, but it loses the color of soldiers. After all, the prince is a soldier's title, which is too Confucian and a little inappropriate.

One title after another, constantly proposed, and constantly denied. By sunset, seventy or eighty seals had been rejected.

Seeing that the time is approaching, the six resolutions have not yet come out. Even the ministers of the Ministry of Ceremonies, who had some opinions, couldn't sit still.

"Gentlemen, according to the usual practice. There must be a resolution before noon tomorrow. Submit it to San Gong, Wu Mu and Ren Huang. I hope you can brainstorm, help the Ministry of Ceremonies, and quickly decide the title of General Fang Yun. Zhang Gongqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Ceremonies, said.

"Lord Shangshu, General Fang's title of marquis, at the beginning, it has been known to everyone in the world. It's not easy to come up with a title that the world is satisfied with.

A prince.

"The old man understands. I'm counting on you on this matter." Just when everyone had a headache and couldn't make a decision. A man dressed as a general walked into the lobby of the Ministry of Ceremonies with a lantern.

"Dear adults, Chen Liu, I will be the guard in front of Wumu Mansion. At the order of Lord Wumu, come to the Ministry of Ceremonies to check it. The armored general said and lit up the token of Wumu Mansion.

Everyone in the hall quickly got up and saluted respectfully: "It turned out to be the messenger of Lord Wumu. It's polite!"

"Your Excellency, you don't have to be polite. I just asked Lord Wumu whether Fang Yun's title has been decided. Lord Wumu is waiting.

Chen Liudao.

When Zhang Gongqi, who is old, heard the words, sweated from his forehead. He hurriedly stepped forward, saluted, and told the truth: "It's a busy messenger. General Fang's title is extremely difficult to decide. We have figured out 78 accounts, but we still haven't decided which one to use!"

"Hehe", Chen Liu carried a lantern" smiled when he heard the words: "That's it, Lord Wumu also brought a sentence. When I came, Wu Mu said that if Fang Yun's title had not been decided yet. Let's convey another sentence."

"Please make it clear."

Zhang Gongqi and the great scholar in the hall, as well as the princes and generals, immediately showed a look of attentive listening.

Chen Liu smiled and said, "Lord Wu Mu said. In all dynasties, he was less than seventeen years old, but he made great achievements and could be awarded the title of Marquis. There is a unified practice. That is, to be crowned as the champion marquis to show the bravery of the young people, bravely crown the righteousness of the armies, and to inspire the young people in the world to make contributions to the country. General Fang is not yet 17 years old this year, and he can be awarded the title of marquis for his military achievements. I don't know if he can be awarded the title of marquis of champion according to the usual practice!"

As soon as the three words "Champion" came out, the room was silent, and the needles could be heard.

The origin of the title of "Champion Marquis" is no longer known. In the classic old Confucianism, there are at least a dozen source. However, it is the most credible source. It originated in the Middle Ages.

In the dark era of sectarian control of royal power, a peerless overlord finally appeared in the royal family. With strong forbearance, wisdom and martial arts, he unified the world and suppressed all sects.

The deeds of this overlord have become a legend that countless people are fascinated by. At that time, under his name, the most effective subordinate was a teenager named Huo Qubing.

He is young, but his martial arts skills are unworldly. At the age of 16, he helped the medieval overlord to suppress the sectarian forces and drove them out of the court. He made great achievements in the war. At that time, the title given to the teenager by the medieval overlord was "Champion Marquis"!

It's just a pity. With the leaders of all the sects united to kill this generation of peerless overlords. The Middle Ages once again entered the dark century. The "Champion Marquis" followed the hegemon of medieval wildflowers. In the last battle, he killed several sectarians, and finally more than a dozen people were besieged and killed in the battle. At this time, he was only seventeen years old.

So after the story of later generations spread, the royal family expressed its memory and respect for this medieval loyal minister. Then the title of "Champion Marquis" was continued as a routine.

Because when Huo Junhou died in the war, he was only 17 years old. Therefore, among the royal families of all dynasties, in order to show respect. Restrictions have been added to this title. You must be a young prince under the age of 17 to get this title!

The title of champion Hou, as Wu Mu said, has been found in all dynasties. However, each piece is extremely harsh. Imagine that in the fifteenth bundles of hair in the Zhou Dynasty, he entered the mine for trial, and then he could enter the army. There are only two years in the middle. In these two years, it is necessary to make great achievements and make a marquis in one fell swoop. The conditions are not harsh to describe!

It's just a "genius" and can't be regarded as this title. It must also be the "genius" in the "genius". Since the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, only in the Taizu period has been canonized. That is to say, the reign of the Zhou Dynasty has been established for more than 1,600 years, and with Fang Yun, there have been two champions in total.

From Yin, Shang to Da Zhou, for more than 5,000 years, there are only a handful of "champions"! No more than five. That is to say, in a thousand years, it is at most one! The number is so small, and the interval is so long. No wonder everyone can't remember it at all for a while.

"Champion Marquis, Champion Marquis..."

Zhang Gongqi muttered to himself, thinking.

"Lord Shangshu, how about this title?"

Chen Liu looked at Zhang Gongqi and smiled.

Zhang Gongqi turned around and looked at the people behind him. The people he came into contact with, whether Confucianism or soldiers, nodded slightly.

Zhang Gongqi immediately knew: "As Lord Wumu said, give me the title of champion!"

"If that's the case, then I'll go back home and tell Wu Mu."

Chen Liu nodded and turned around and left the ceremonial government.

On the seventh day, the title document of the Ministry of Ceremonies was sent to the Military Aircraft Office, the Taihe Hall and the Imperial Palace at the same time. Soon, all three parties sent an echo: accurate!

Three days later, the imperial edict of the emperor's jade seal was stamped, and the imperial edict was issued to the world: Fang Yun, a general of the Pingyao, was a young hero, with outstanding military achievements. He made great contributions to the imperial court, held the title as the "champion marquis" and told the world! As soon as the imperial edict was issued, the world was shocked!
