Chapter IX Names (continued)

As winter goes and spring comes, Liu Ti, a Qi envoy who was sent to Liang State, looked at the flowers, plants and trees outside the window, and fell into deep thought.

He was ordered to go to Liang State and experienced an incredible winter in Huaiyin.

The residence where the national envoys were hosted was a "fire kang" at the bed, which was very warm when sleeping, so Liu Ti did not need to wear a bloated cold clothes when he was bedtime, so he could sleep until dawn.

At night, a "gas lamp" is lit at the bedside, and the lights are brightly lit, making the room like daytime, making it very convenient to read books under the lamp.

Liu Ti studied hard since childhood because he used his eyes too much and his eyesight was not very good. Especially at night, he was very difficult to read, unless he lit more candles.

But candles are very expensive, and Liu Ti is reluctant to use them more often on weekdays. Now, because of the bright "gas lamp", he is very relaxed to read books at night.

The book I read is not a volume, but a "book", which is a "line-bound book".

The books provided by the residence fill the entire bookshelf, which occupy three walls in the study room, so there are many types of books, many of which are classics that Liu Ti had heard of but had not read incompletely.

As for the famous "Hualin Bianluo", the residence provided several sets, so as the host Liu Ti and several colleagues, the life in the residence during this period was "quick".

Everyone can't put down the book... they can't put down the book. As long as they have time, they will read books from morning to night, as if every day passes very quickly.

Of course, the main business cannot be delayed: Liu Ti came here to promote Qi and Liang countries to open a "border market".

In fact, it is just asking for peace.

The Liang State had already occupied Henan (east of Hulao), while the Zhou State occupied Luozhou (Luoyang), and the situation was very unfavorable to the Qi State.

Especially in Liang State, because of the tiger Li Li, it has been ready to move, and it poses a great threat to Qi State.

If Zhou and Liang countries were allowed to work together, Qi's situation would only become increasingly dangerous.

So Liu Pi came here to promote Qi and Liang to open a "border market" as much as possible. As long as the other party agrees, it means that the other party does not want to raise troops in the short term.

Next, you can consider shaking hands and making peace.

After all, Emperor Liang passed away at the beginning of the year, the domestic situation was unstable, and to gain a foothold in Henan, I needed to take a breath.

Liu Zi arrived in Liang State at the end of the autumn. When he arrived in Huaiyin, he realized that the royal family members of Liang State did not agree with Pengcheng Duke Li Li, generals of the Chinese and foreign military affairs, and raised an army to attack the "traitors".

As a result, the kings were soon defeated and captured, and the people who attacked the "traitors" became "traitors".

After this incident, the royal family of Liang State was already weak, and no one could stop Li Li, who was in charge of military affairs in China and abroad, and took that step.

Now, Liu Ti and his colleagues who were staying in Huaiyin have witnessed Li Li's step by step.

Previously, because the queen and concubines failed to give birth to children for Emperor Daxing, they adopted the former emperor (Xiao Daqi) as the younger brother of Emperor Daxing.

But he is a three-year-old child.

Subsequently, Li Li promoted the title of Duke of Chu. The imperial court appointed Xuzhou and several counties in the surrounding areas as Chu. Chu established Taiwan Province and set up officials.

Soon, Li Li promoted to the King of Chu, became the Prime Minister, and was the Prime Minister, and prepared nine tins, and added yellow axe. He was a special ceremony and praised and worshipped without a name.

The princess Huang is the queen and the prince is the prince.

Then, the Taiwei Wang Sengbian and many ministers submitted a letter to persuade them to advance.

So the emperor issued an edict and stayed in another palace.

The Taizai, King Xiao of Jiangxia, was ordered to be enthroned by the emperor, and the King of Luling, Xiao Ying, was appointed as the emperor's seal and abdicated in Chu.

King Li Li of Chu refused to accept it, and the emperor gave in and Li Li resigned again.

Before and after, three give in and three say no.

This is a ritual system of abdication. Although it is a bit boring, it must be left, and the next step will be a formal abdication.

Liu Ti witnessed the change of Wei and Qi, so he is not unfamiliar with this method.

He looked at the scenery outside the window in a daze, sighing only "the minister of Weizhen", and could not avoid the ending: either he was killed by the master's great achievements or replaced him.

Weizhen was given to Li Li by Emperor Liang Xiao Gang, which means pillar of the country. Liu Ti knew about this and was moved at this time, but there was no irony.

The world is in chaos and the nations are in conflict. For hundreds of years, the emperor and the powerful ministers have become equal to the same power. If the powerful ministers cannot replace them, the consequences will be death and death.

In the past, Wei and Liang countries confronted each other in the north and south. Then, Wei divided the east and west, and successively became Qi, and Zhou replaced them.

The replacement was a hero who rose up during the chaos in the late Wei Dynasty.

The Liang Kingdom in the south has been in chaos since Hou Jing's rebellion, and now the country is about to change hands.

Back then, when Hou Jing was in rebellion, the young general who took advantage of the situation had experienced several emperors and made great achievements and even became the father-in-law. However, because of the death of his son-in-law, he wanted to be a loyal minister and was unable to succeed.

When we reach this point today, who is right and who is wrong?

Liu Ti didn't know that he was a little confused about He Li Li's choice of "Chu" as the country name.

Perhaps because the other party did not understand allusions, he did not know what the title of "Chu" in the Southern Dynasties had different meanings, but the assistants could not understand it.

During the Jin Dynasty, the powerful minister Huan Wen tried to replace Jin Dynasty and died without achieving his wish.

His son Huan Xuan did what he wanted, and received Jin Chan and established the State of Chu.

Huan Xuan's Chu State was destroyed after three years of existence, so Huan Chu was regarded as a fake dynasty.

Therefore, for the Southern Dynasty, the name of "Chu" was just like Wang Mang's "new" during the Han Dynasty, and his reputation was not good.

However, Li Li actually regarded "Chu" as the national name. Liu Ti felt that either this person was arrogant or didn't care.

Ambitious, don't care whether the country's name has any flaws.

I don’t care that this country name has been used before, and the country’s life is not long.

Just like back then, even though he knew that the Southern Dynasties had already had Qi, the country's reign lasted for only twenty years, the Bohai King (Gao Cheng) still chose "Qi" as the title and promoted the title of King Qi.

This is also the origin of the name of Qi.

Judging from Li Li's performance in the past twenty years and his great military achievements, Liu Ti felt that the reason for choosing "Chu" as the national name should be the latter, and it is related to Li Li's background.

Li Li's hometown is in Poyang, Jiangzhou, which is the land of Chu; Li Li is in Xuzhou, Huaibei, and uses this as the foundation and his power grows, which is the land of Chu;

The entire territory of Liang State was just like the Chu State during the Warring States Period. Whether it was Jingxiang, Jiangmian, Dongting, Pengli, or the two Huai North, West and West, and Jiangzuo, they were all Chu.

In the Southern Dynasty, the people of the Three Wus despised the people in other regions as Ji Chu, and Li Li used Chu as the national name. Liu Ti felt that perhaps it could represent the "Southern" better than the national name "Wu".

In the late Han Dynasty, Sun Wu lived in a corner. Perhaps, the ambitious Li Li was not willing to be calm, but wanted to...

Thinking of this, Liu Ti couldn't help but sigh.

His mission may be accomplished, but in fact it doesn't make much sense anymore.

Even if the two countries can shake hands and make peace, how long can such a "harmony" last?

Li Li, who changed the dynasty, must have been enterprising, worked hard to govern, and used his unparalleled achievements to unify the world to cleanse himself of receiving Zen, but actually usurping the throne.

The word "Weizhen" is not for Xiaoliang, but for the world.

Can this person do it?

Liu Ti made a judgment based on the other party's performance over the past twenty years and believed that it was "can".

In Qi State, the emperor was close to villains, slandered ministers, and alienated the court officials. He was drunk all day long and ignored affairs.

Last year, Zhou and Liang countries launched a massive invasion. The emperor responded inappropriately and was obviously at a loss. He even drank to drown his sorrows.

This year, he even gave up the crown prince and became the emperor himself. He still lived and died in a drunken and dreamed of death, allowing the slander ministers to cause trouble and disrupt the court.

Compared with Li Li, who is aggressive, this makes people feel uncomfortable.
