Nanjing.

In front of Zhao Han was a stack of manuscripts of the hand-copied "Datong Dictionary".

Qian Qianyi bowed and said, "The Datong Dictionary collects nearly 10,000 characters in total, more than 200 more than "Shuowen Jiezi"."

"I have read it last night. The entries of each character are a bit complicated, and you can delete and modify it again," Zhao Han did not worry about the "Datong Dictionary" anymore, and instead said, "Today I invited all the bachelors, and there are many officials who want to give the country names."

"Since Your Highness is called King of Wu, his country's name can be 'Da Wu'." Qian Qianyi said.

Xu Ying, who has been engaged in intelligence work, is difficult to continue to deepen due to chaos in the north and the epidemic in Shandong.

He temporarily did an intelligence summary in Nanjing and said at this moment: "No matter north or south, the word Datong has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Why not just be named 'Datong'?"

Li Banghua said: "Your Highness is a member of Yan and Zhao, and the country's name can also be 'Dayan'."

There were dozens of people in the room, and they were competing for many national names. Zhao Han decided which one to choose.

Zhao Han was also very confused and asked: "What is the national name "China"?"

Zhang Pu clasped his fists and said, "China is China. Throughout history, dynasties have been upright. Which one is not China? Which one is not China? China, China, China, Jiuzhou, and the world, all of which are synonymous with words and cannot be called the country. No matter what the country is called the new dynasty, they can be called the Chinese, and Jiuzhou China. Why do you have to make the country called the "China" in one go?"

"This statement is reasonable." Huang Zongxi supported Zhang Cai's statement.

Zhu Yuanzhang's "Emperoration on the Northern Expedition of Fengtian" appeared in a large number of China and China, and even said "expelling the barbarians and restoring China".

Unless you look at the world, "China" is indeed not suitable for being a national name.

Zhao Han thought for a while and suddenly smiled and said, "Let's vote unnamed."

Those who have been officials in the Ming Dynasty are not unfamiliar with this thing, so Tingtui often votes and votes without a name.

Especially when choosing cabinet ministers, ministers, and governors, court recommendations are a regular process. If the results cannot be obtained on the spot, ministers will elect the main election and accompanying election, and there are usually two to three candidates.

Then an enlarged meeting was held to allow all ministers to vote secretly and write down their own reasons for their election.

But the decision-making power lies in the emperor, and the voting results are only reference opinions.

Moreover, the emperor was afraid of forming cliques among his ministers, so he often chose the one who received fewer votes. Sometimes, the list of candidates could not satisfy the emperor, and the ministers would also re-elect the candidates.

When the imperial power and the prime minister's power are repeatedly tug-of-war, the candidates have to be promoted several times.

If the emperor bypasses the minister, appoints someone directly, or gives a candidate directly, this is an act of breaking the rules, proving that the relationship between the emperor and the minister is very bad.

Take Chongzhen as an example. He only followed the rules in the first two or three years, but he kept breaking the rules the rest.

Zhao Han asked someone to distribute official documents, and about a quarter of an hour passed and all the votes were handed over.

"Sing the votes." Zhao Han said.

Zhang Dai is responsible for the vote inspection, Zheng Sen is responsible for the counting of votes, and Chen Zisheng is responsible for the vote sing: "Datong 28 votes, Dawu 21 votes, Dayan 15 votes, Dagan 11 votes, Yamato 8 votes..."

None of them had more than half of the votes.

Zhao Han carefully observed the handwriting and immediately started to laugh.

Since they are all written in Taige style, the handwriting of scholars cannot be identified, which is really anonymous voting.

"Forget it, let's use 'Datong' as the national name." Zhao Han could guess that Xu Ying, Chen Maosheng, Xiao Huan, and Zuo Xiaoliang should have voted for "Datong".

As for the voters of "Da Wu", most of them were scholars from Jiangnan.

Thanks to Kublai Khan's name, the name "Da" is all in the country. Dayuan, Ming, Qing, Dashun, and Zhao Han's name "Datong" actually seemed very sociable.

After Zhao Han made the decision, Qian Qianyi immediately flattered and said, "Great Qianyuan, all materials begin to govern the sky. This is called the Great Yuan; the Great Ming Dynasty is the beginning, and the six ranks are completed, and the six dragons are used to control the sky. This is called the Great Ming Dynasty; the protection of Dahe is the benefit of Zhen. The first thing is to come out, and all countries are peaceful. Datong is the Dahe, and the country is called "Datong", which is intimately in line with the changes in the main road. The Ming Dynasty should be regarded as the destiny of the country. Your Highness is wise!"

Zhao Hanquan pretended that he didn't hear this flattery and continued, "Let's decide on the year number again."

"Since the country's name is Datong, the year name should be a well-off society!" Zhang Cai said immediately.

Liu Rushi smiled and echoed: "Good."

Li Banghua and Pang Chunlai also said: "The year name should be a well-off society."

Xu Ying, Chen Maosheng, Xiao Huan, Zuo Xiaoliang and others also said together: "A well-off society is excellent!"

When the country was named, there were many different opinions.

When the year number was determined, everyone's opinions were surprisingly consistent.

"Datong" and "well-off" are published together in the Book of Rites: Liyun Chapter.

Datong belongs to the ultimate pursuit of Confucianism, and well-off society belongs to the secondary pursuit of Confucianism. If you forcefully understand it, the former is the advanced stage and the latter is the primary stage.

Moreover, taking "Xiaokang" as the year name is to infinitely raise Zhao Han, and to rule with Xia Yu, Shang Tang, Zhou Wen, Zhou Wu, Zhou Cheng, and Zhou Gongdan, can only be called Xiaokang.

The country’s name is Datong, which is the ultimate pursuit.

The year name is Xiaokang, which is the rule of Zhao Han and has reached a well-off level.

The meaning is very good, but unfortunately, Zhao Han always feels a little awkward when he hears it.

Since the Ming Dynasty, everyone has liked to use the year names to represent the emperor. Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yongle sound so awesome.

But when you arrive at Zhao Han, is it called Xiaokang Emperor?

Did the well-off emperor Zhao Han bring the people of the whole country to become rich and prosperous?

Seeing that Zhao Han seemed a little unhappy, everyone felt it was difficult to understand. How good is this year's name, the emperors of all dynasties dare not use it, and most emperors are not qualified to use it. This is on par with Dayu!

"Ahem!"

Zhao Han coughed twice and said, "Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, is the ancient sage. What kind of virtue can I be with Xia, Yu, Shang Tang? What kind of virtue can I be with Wen, Wu and Duke Zhou? I can never use the title of a well-off society."

Qian Qianyi suddenly realized and quickly flattered: "A well-off person is to be righteous and considerate, to be righteous and trustworthy, to be conciliatory, to show the people that they are normal. Your Highness selects talents and uses abilities, to establish discipline, and to benefit all the people. How can you not be called a well-off person? Please do not underestimate yourself, because of this public opinion!"

Seeing that everyone was going to persuade him again, Zhao Han quickly said, "Change another year name!"

Ruan Dacheng sneaked into the team that compiled the dictionary and was invited to discuss matters today. He said, "How is Kangxi?"

Zhao Han scolded: "Change another!"

Zhao Han's reaction was so fierce that everyone was confused.

Kangxi is also very good, with a sense of prosperity and prosperity. Now there are many disasters, and this year's year name is a good omen.

"Why not decide it to be Corning?" Qian Qianyi said.

Zhang Pu immediately opposed: "The reign of Emperor Xiaowu of Jin was Ning Kang, and the "Book of Wei" was mistakenly written as Kang Ning, and it can no longer be used."

Qian Qianyi retorted: "Since it is a mistake, why can't it be used again? I will publish the "Book of Wei" in the future and correct the mistake!"

Since there is a dispute, it is best not to use it.

Pang Chun said: "How about Yuantai?"

"That's right!" Zhang Pu nodded.

Huang Zongxi said: "I suggest that the year name is Xingzhi."

"I think Zhaolong should be used."

“Yongye is also excellent!”

“…”

After Zhao Han denied "well-off", the year names were suddenly varied, which was even more chaotic than when discussing the country names.

Seeing that everyone could not get a result, Zhao Han decided: "Stop fighting, the year name is 'Minshi'."

The whole audience was quiet in an instant and there was no objection anymore.

Qian Qianyi and Ruan Dacheng even shouted to be a wise man and flattered Zhao Han crazily.

There is nothing to say in the beginning of the people, and it is just a simple combination of two Chinese characters. But it corresponds to the "Sanyuan Chapter", emphasizing the people-oriented based on the year number, which also reveals that Zhao Han was the first emperor to respond to the people.

...

The country name and year name can be brainstormed.

Qian Qianyi and others are not qualified to participate in the discussions of the inner court, harem, royal family, and relatives.

"Is there no inner court?" Li Banghua said in surprise.

Traditional civil servants are all happy, who would be criticized by eunuchs?

At the same time, it is very worried.

Pang Chunlai reminded him very implicitly: "If there is no inner court, there is no eunuch, there may be something happening in the palace..."

This kind of thing is very common in Europe. By using genetic testing methods, you can find that some European royal families seem to have a bit impure blood.

Zhao Han said: "There is an inner court, but there is no eunuch, and the female official is the one who is the one who is in charge of the government."

Using eunuchs to suppress civil servants is actually a manifestation of stupidity and incompetence.

Zhu Di likes to do business with eunuchs, but he has a high prestige and can suppress eunuchs. Since that's the case, why should we use eunuchs? Normally, civil officials and military generals can be suppressed!

If it were other emperors, if they could not suppress the civil officials, they would definitely not suppress the eunuchs. Forcibly using eunuchs would lead to the civil officials joining together, and it would be better to directly divide the civil officials within the civil officials.

Chen Maosheng suddenly asked: "Everyone in the inner court uses female officials. Can these female officials get married?"

Zhao Han explained: "If a female official wants to get married, she can choose to retire. Ordinary palace maids enter the palace at the age of 16 to 18, and if she does not have a female official position at the age of 25, she must retire forcibly and return to the public to choose a good man to get married."

"This is a benevolent policy!" Li Banghua clapped and praised.

Zhao Han also said: "If you serve as a palace maid, you must take the exam, all by voluntary action. The inner court shall not forcibly recruit palace maids among the people, and the candidates for concubines shall not be forcibly recruited. I will write these things into the Constitution, including the inner court shall not interfere in politics."

Xu Ying asked: "Will the harem system also be changed?"

Zhao Han said: "According to the old system of the Ming Dynasty, there are two levels of concubines under the empress. However, if the imperial concubine and imperial concubine are abolished, this concubine must not be given another title."

Zhao Han did not restrict the amount of concubines because it was useless if the restrictions were restricted.

Which descendants will become emperors in the future and how many women they want is not a matter of one sentence? If the amount is forcibly specified, problems will arise, such as deposing a certain concubine and making room for the woman they like.

Moreover, after limiting the amount of concubines, the fight in the harem will be intensified and fighting for those positions will be started.

Zhao Han only determined one approximate, and the remaining specific contents, such as setting up an inner court organization, female official position, etc., and handing it over to the Ministry of Rites to handle it.

Zhao Han said: "I don't keep idle people in the royal family and the relatives of the country. Even if a prince grows up, he will have to leave the palace to support himself. He can join the army and become an official, but he will have to take the exam. The relatives of the royal family within the five squads, regardless of civil and military positions, can only reach the third rank, and cannot take charge of one province. The relatives of the royal family outside the five squads can only reach the second rank, and cannot take charge of one province. If they are military positions and above the fourth rank, they are not allowed to serve as real power commanders. Of course, except for the navy."
