The next morning, his beautiful wife was still asleep in his arms, while Lu Fan, who was refreshed, changed into a black dragon robe and came to the Huangji Palace under the service of the eunuch.

The Huangji Palace was generally rarely used in the Ming Dynasty, and the court meeting was only held here during major rituals or important decisions.

When we arrived at Huangji Hall, there were already civil and military officials standing on both sides.

Because most of the civil servants in Datong Town were summoned to Beijing, the number of civil servants in the palace seemed to be more than that of military officers.

As for the former Ming Dynasty officials, only a very small number of people were in the eyes of Zhao Shanhe, the head of the Civil Affairs Department. After being recommended by him, they were qualified to participate in this grand dynasty meeting.

Although he has not ascended the throne yet, Lu Fan is still the marquis of the former Ming Dynasty in name.

But Yang Wanli and the Dragon Master had been unable to wait any longer. Even though his marquis had not ascended the throne, the dragon robe and other things had been prepared long ago.

Lu Fan was not pretentious about this. When he held the first grand court meeting, he consciously put on the dragon robe and slowly sat on the dragon throne in the look of awe of all officials.

"Long live my emperor!"

With the sound of long live the mountain, the first major dynasty meeting of the new dynasty has officially begun.

It’s also interesting to say that the first major dynasty meeting where civil and military officials gathered in the new dynasty was the first state matter that needed discussion, but the national name!

Lu Fan had already sat on the throne, but he had not even confirmed his country's name. He was helpless when he said that.

There is no way. In these days, civil and military officials have been quarreling all the time over the issue of national title.

Yang Wanli and Shen Lian and other military officers, together with their own marquis, were all from the Jinyiwei. In their opinion, it is most appropriate to use "Jin" as the national name.

Just like Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, he obtained the Taoist tradition of the Ming Cult and regarded the Ming Dynasty as the country's name.

Even civil officials, even civil servants of the same similar rank, did not say anything about the Jinyiwei, but not many people in their hearts liked this institution.

After all, it is a spy agency. How many civil servants can say to such institutions from the bottom of their hearts?

It is scary to think about it if you use the Jinyiwei name as the national name.

In this regard, the civil servants gave two alternative country names.

One is "Lu".

Taking Your Majesty’s own surname as the country’s name, it demonstrates the destiny of heaven!

One is "same".

The same in Datong Town.

Datong Town is the place where His Majesty's dragon rises, and it is also the place where they are civil and military officials follow the dragon. It also has the meaning of the great harmony of the world. It has the name of Tong as the country and has received the support of many civil officials.

Lu Fan thought these three national names were pretty good, but they didn't satisfy him very much. He always felt that it was a little less generous.

He knew that there was a fortune in this world and he also wanted to establish a fortune dynasty. Maybe he would encounter other fortune dynasty in the future.

If he meets other emperors of the Yun Dynasty in the future, how should he introduce himself?

Jindi Lu Fan?

Lu Emperor Lu Fan?

The same emperor Lu Fan?

A little soft and not domineering enough!

Seeing that His Majesty was not expressing his opinion for a long time, the officials in the hall suddenly became a little anxious.

If the country name cannot be determined, then matters such as Your Majesty's ascension to the throne will naturally not be discussed.

If Your Majesty does not officially ascend the throne to the emperor, how should these ministers who follow the dragon be rewarded?

We are all waiting for the title of Marquis to be promoted, this is really a rush!

It seemed that he realized that His Majesty was not very satisfied with these national names. The civil and military officials in the hall discussed it and gave several alternative national names.

For example, Your Majesty was the Marquis of Yongchang before, and it was also good to use "Chang" as the country's name, and it means that the country's fortune will be Yongchang.

For example, Your Majesty drove Jiannu, suppressed Tartars, destroyed bandits, turned the tide, changed the world, and created the universe again. It was also very good to use "gan" as the name of the country.

Lu Fan carefully savored the results discussed by the officials for a while, and finally chose the word "gan" and determined the name of the new dynasty as Gan.

New dynasty, do a big move!

The country name was established, and then, we naturally discussed matters such as the ascension of the throne.

When the new dynasty was first established, the emperor's ascension to the throne must not be slackened. Civil and military officials discussed for a long time, and Lu Fan was dizzy when he saw various etiquettes and rituals.

In the end, he waved his sleeves, made arbitrary decision, and finally made a decision.

On December 12th, cast a rooftop outside the south of the city to worship the heaven and establish the country!

As for the messy and complicated rituals, all of them will be cancelled, just leave the most basic ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven!

The officials in the court had no objection to this.

Military officers didn't care about these things, but most of the civil servants came from Datong Town and were a practical official. They didn't pay much attention to all kinds of red tape.

At this point, the matter of establishing a country was determined.

Next, we discussed various military and national affairs after the founding of the New Dynasty.

First of all, it is the central system of the New Dynasty.

As officials from Datong Town, all the officials in the court have become accustomed to the existence of the Military Intelligence Department, Civil Affairs Department and Finance Department, and are not very interested in the six cabinets.

As for some former Ming officials, such as Lu Xiangsheng, although they were determined to restore the system of the previous dynasty, they felt ashamed to say more when they thought of what the Donglin Party members had done behind them.

Now, his mind is full of officials who murdered the emperor before the reckoning, avenging Emperor Chongzhen. As for the new dynasty system, he dare not speak nonsense.

Lu Fan quickly determined the system of the central court.

The Military Information Department, Civil Affairs Department, and Finance Department were renamed as Military Department, Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Ministry of Finance.

On the basis of these three departments, the Ministry of Justice was added.

The four major departments are relatively independent, and the heads of the department are all first-rank officials, so they are directly responsible to the emperor!

Now that the new dynasty is first established, the court team has only temporarily taken shape, and Lu Fan has no intention of getting it done in one step.

After all, what he wants to establish is the dynasty of luck. With his current cultivation level, even if he does not break through his future realm, there will be no problem living for more than a hundred years.

In his opinion, if there is any problem with the system in the future, it can be corrected at any time. There is no need to do it completely perfectly at one time.

However, Lu Fan completely determined the local system.

There are villages in provinces, cities, counties, townships, and villages. Here, Lu Fan was lazy and moved the local administrative system of later generations directly.

The heads of each township and village chief are appointed by superiors. Each township has a patrol station, and the patrol chief is treated as a ninth rank.

He can slowly improve the central system, but Lu Fan said it very much, and the system must be determined to be dead.

There is one very important point when the Ming Dynasty perished, that is, the imperial power did not go to the countryside.

The county magistrates in many areas are mascots. The imperial court's decrees can only reach the county towns and cannot reach the countryside at all. Most of the power in rural areas is in the hands of local gentry and powerful people, and is not controlled by local governments at all.

Therefore, it is particularly important to go to the countryside and to form households and all the people!
