The first thousand six hundred and eighty-two chapters will be the capital of the debate and the nat
After Wei Daoer received the royal decree from Wang Junlin, he realized that Du Xiaofeng had caused a huge disaster.
Therefore, when Wang Junlin dismissed him as the leader of the Steel Knife Camp, he did not dare to complain at all, either on his face or in his heart.
After all, although he is no longer the commander-in-chief, it does not affect his command of the men of the Steel Blade Battalion in fighting. As long as he temporarily takes over the position of commander-in-chief and makes further contributions, he will become a regular commander sooner or later.
At the same time, Wei Daoer immediately organized all the soldiers who participated in the extermination of the Huo family into a death squad, and sent them to climb the ladder to attack Lujiang County on the same day.
And after learning what Huo Huaiming was doing now, Wei Daoer understood that his contribution to conquering the two counties of Huainan was lost, and it could not even offset this mistake.
Therefore, in the subsequent attack on Lujiang County City, Wei Daoer worked even harder.
Li Zitong, who was responsible for attacking Beicheng and Xicheng, was also eager to make great achievements in order to gain Wang Junlin's attention. After all, he had heard that Wang Junlin was about to establish a country and proclaim himself emperor, but he had not yet been received by Wang Junlin. Therefore,
He also attacked the city with all his strength.
In this way, Lujiang City persisted for seven days before being breached.
Du Fuwei was killed on the spot. About half of the 80,000 defenders were killed or wounded, and the rest surrendered.
At the same time, Xu Shiji and Chen Yaojin in Sichuan and Sichuan led the Wagang Battalion and the Seal Battalion led by Huang Shaoqiu. They also took the three counties in the south of Sichuan and Sichuan from Xiao Qiang's hands, killing Liang Jun and driving them away.
drive away.
At this point, the entire north of the Yangtze River, except for Li Shimin's Guanzhong and Luoyang areas, was all Wang Junlin's territory.
According to the plan, establishing a country and proclaiming himself emperor was finally put on the agenda.
On the one hand, this is because the time has matured. The territory below is getting bigger and bigger, the stalls are too big, and the army is getting more and more. Failure to establish a country is not conducive to the efficient operation of institutions.
On the other hand, when Wang Junlin proclaimed himself emperor, the civil and military officials under him could be formally granted official titles, titles, and honors, which would help stabilize people's hearts.
Of course, this is also related to the news that Li Shimin wanted to establish a country and proclaim himself emperor.
After the matter of founding a country and proclaiming himself emperor was put on the agenda, civil servants such as Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Pei Shiju, Yu Shiji, etc. started to act like chicken blood.
The first thing is to determine the location of Kyoto.
Although Fanyang County is the birthplace of the Far Eastern Army, it is still a bit remote in the world. Regardless of its geographical location, historical heritage, or its status as a political, economic, and cultural center, it is not suitable for being established as the Kyoto.
And Chang'an and Luoyang, which are the most suitable places for Kyoto in the world, happen to be in the hands of Li Shimin. It has to be said that it seems that Li Shimin is really the destined emperor.
Finally, several civil servants discussed for several days and concluded that only Yangzhou could be the temporary location of Kyoto.
First of all, Yangzhou was originally called Jiangdu, the former capital of the Sui Dynasty. Even after Yang Guangnan went to the south of the Yangtze River, it was always regarded as the capital. The imperial palace, the imperial palace, and even the ministers' mansions were all ready-made.
Secondly, Yangzhou is the economic and cultural center of the world, rich in various means of production and daily necessities, and has a large population.
Third, because Yangzhou is adjacent to the Yangtze River and the Grand Canal, it is a transportation hub for traveling from north to south. The Far Eastern Army has a large navy and countless warships. At critical moments, using waterways can quickly dispatch troops and deliver troops there.
It is very conducive to the current situation of fighting for the world.
Finally, it is because the Far Eastern Army’s current main opponent is the Liang Kingdom located in the south of the Yangtze River. Next, the Far Eastern Army will inevitably use a large number of troops to attack Liang. If the center of the imperial court is too far away, such as in Fanyang County, this time,
Even if the Military Intelligence Office has flying eagles used to convey messages, it is not conducive to command and control.
After all, soldiers are more valuable than speed.
But Yangzhou is different. For now, it is almost the front line.
Of course, if it were other emperors and ministers, they would definitely worry that Kyoto was too close to the frontline battlefield, which would be detrimental to the stability of the country.
However, both Wang Junlin and the Far East Army were extremely powerful. Not only did Wang Junlin never worry about this, but even the civil and military officials under his command never had any worries about this.
However, since Wang Junlin put the matter of founding a country and proclaiming himself emperor on the agenda, the important people under his command have become extremely busy these days.
It can be said that the relevant yamen and officials of the Far East Army are in full operation, and the entire ruling machine is in full swing, preparing for the important event of founding the country.
Even Wang Junlin, who has been relatively leisurely in the past few years, is extremely busy. Just learning some imperial etiquette, from dressing to sitting posture and other words and deeds, there is too much to pay attention to.
There is no way. In ancient times, there were a lot of rules and etiquette for getting married, which would probably annoy people to death in future generations.
What's more, such a big thing as founding a country and proclaiming himself emperor, and this kind of thing is just like the groom's official, it is absolutely impossible for others to do it for Wang Junlin. After all, he is the one who wants to be the emperor.
Of course, Wang Junlin can ignore it, and no one dares to disobey him and force him.
However, Wang Junlin sometimes just takes the soft side rather than the hard side.
Every time Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others knelt down and begged him with extremely heavy expressions, as if they were dead fathers. Wang Junlin couldn't bear to see his important ministers like this, so he had to follow their wishes and continue to follow the rituals of a senior official.
A very knowledgeable scholar and an old eunuch from the palace who lived to this day during the Sui Dynasty came to train and learn.
However, recently, the real focus of Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Pei Shiju, Yu Shiji, Li Jing and others is on the national title.
This national title is much more important than giving birth to a baby with a name. For this reason, Du Ruhui and others also established a temporary research and discussion group, which attracted relevant talents from both inside and outside the government and conducted research and discussions through a large number of historical records and allusions.
However, this group of people debated for a full month. The debate often ended up in a quarrel over greeting each other's ancestors. They even got into a fight once, but they still hadn't decided on what country name to use.
There is no choice but to decide the name of a country by oneself. This kind of honor is already the highest honor that can be encountered in the eyes of literati. For this, it is necessary to break one's face, or to be shameless and polite.
Even talented people like Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng are not exempt from vulgarity.
Finally, Wang Junlin couldn't stand the efficiency of these literati. He summoned his ministers to discuss the issue of the country's name in Yangzhou's original palace, which has now been converted into the Dazheng Palace. He also stated in advance that today's country's name would be
It must be decided.
Du Ruhui stood up first and said loudly with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, the establishment of a country is the first priority for the founders of the past dynasties, and there must be no ambiguity. I believe that it is recorded in "Historical Records of the Five Emperors" that 'from the Yellow Emperor to Shun Yu, all
People with the same surname have different country names, with Zhang Mingde'. The first country name in China is 'Xia', which was decided by Xia Qi. And the prince is destined to be the emperor who surpassed the emperors of Qin and Han Dynasty throughout the ages, so the prince and his ministers thought that the country's name was Xia Zui
It couldn’t be more suitable…”
Wang Junlin pondered for a while, thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and said: "Actually, in my opinion, it is not bad for our country to be named 'Xia'..."
But before Wang Junlin could finish his words, some other important ministers present became anxious and rushed out to object. Fang Xuanling was the first to react and said: "Your Majesty, the title of the country carries the destiny of our country. This matter
Things must be done with caution, and you must not be so rash. I thought that the title of the Kingdom of Xia had already been used by others, and I had not heard of the birth of a Mingjun in the Great Xia Dynasty. With the prince's plan, he must have established a groundbreaking foundation.
If you have a foundation, why bother with others’ wisdom?”
Wang Junlin thought for a while and felt that what Fang Xuanling said seemed to make sense. He had finally traveled through time and worked so hard to conquer the world. Why couldn't he establish a country that was unprecedented and unprecedented? So he nodded slightly and said
: "Master Fang's words make sense, but in Master Fang's opinion, what kind of national title should we use?"
Fang Xuanling immediately said: "I will first introduce to the prince why this country's name was determined in all dynasties."
After a pause, Fang Xuanling saw Wang Junlin showing great interest, and immediately continued: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, the country names of the past dynasties have mostly come from the place of origin. For example, the ancestors of Qin have the surname Ying.
Ma Yougong was granted the title of Qin by the Zhou Dynasty, so he took the title of Qin as his country; later he was promoted to a prince, and he still took the title of Qin as his country; King Qin Yingzheng destroyed the six kingdoms and became the first emperor, and continued to use the title of Qin..."
"The name of Qin comes from the place of origin, so the death of Qin II is not a good sign." Fang Xuanling wanted to continue, but Wei Zheng snorted coldly, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, as I see it,
, if a prince wants to establish a country title, it is better to come from a title. Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, was named the King of Han by Xiang Yu, and the fiefdom was in Hanzhong. After the world was pacified, he took "Han" as the title of the country. This is from the title. During the Three Kingdoms period, the Wei State was founded.
The founder, Cao Cao, was once named King of Wei, and his son Cao Pi inherited the title and founded the country, still using Wei as the country's title."
Yu Shiji said with a smile: "Master Wei, I'm afraid he has forgotten that the prince's title is King Qin'an. Is it possible for the prince to name the country as Qin?"
Wei Zheng seemed to have known someone would say this for a long time. He sneered and said: "Of course, the prince can no longer make Qin the country's title, but the title of the prince is King An of Qin, so the second character "An" is used as the country's title.
, it is really appropriate to end this troubled world and establish the Daan Empire."
"Da'an Empire...that sounds good." Wang Junlin suddenly felt that what Wei Zheng said made sense, and that Da'an Dynasty, An State, and Da'an Empire also sounded good, and they were very auspicious.
"Your Majesty, this way of establishing a country is too hasty." Unexpectedly, Pei Shiju shook his head and stood up solemnly and said: "Your Majesty, the name of the country must be based on the place of origin. For example, the ancient Duke and Danfu of the Zhou tribe
At that time, he moved to Zhouyuan (now Qishan, Shaanxi). After King Wu destroyed the Shang Dynasty, he used "Zhou" as the country's name. In the early Zhou Dynasty, the capital was established in Haojing (now Xi'an, Shaanxi). Later, King Ping moved east to Luoyi (now Henan).
Luoyang), because Luoyi is to the east of Haojing, it is called the "Eastern Zhou Dynasty". Therefore, I think that the prince started from Fanyang County and achieved his current huge foundation. He should use "Fan" as the country's name and establish the great Fan Empire.
.”
"Dafan Empire...Dafan Empire..." Wang Junlin muttered for a moment, then immediately shook his head and said, "This doesn't sound good."
"..." Pei Shiju's expression froze, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood, but he didn't know how to refute it. After all, those who wanted to establish a country and claim the title of emperor said that the name of the country was not nice, so what else could he say? He had no choice but to say
He stepped aside with a depressed expression and continued to rack his brains to think of a new country title.
Yu Shiji stepped forward mysteriously and said: "Your Majesty, this country name is related to the eight characters of the prince's birth date, so it fits with heaven and the emperor. For example, the "new" dynasty created by Wang Mang has this meaning, and the Han Dynasty is Huode.
, is the Red Emperor, and Wang Mang is the Earth Virtue. According to the principle of the mutual development of the five elements, the Earth Virtue replaces the Fire Virtue. It is intended that the Red Emperor will pass on to the Yellow Emperor and be given by heaven. I have already found an expert outside the world to calculate based on the prince's birth date. Sui
The dynasty is the virtue of earth, and the prince is the virtue of gold. According to the principle of the mutual development of the five elements, the virtue of gold replaces the virtue of earth. Therefore, the prince is appointed by heaven, and the prince is destined to establish an unprecedented empire. He should surpass all emperors in the past dynasties. I think it should be
Using the word "天" as the country's name, we established the Great Heavenly Empire..."
"Stop!" Wang Junlin's head was pounding after hearing this, and his brows were furrowed. What others said before was somewhat logical, but Yu Shiji was obviously trying to engage in feudal superstition!
Besides, he really couldn't understand why his ministers cared so much about a country's name. Did the strength of a country depend on its name?
I put down a lot of serious things all day long and just discussed and discussed endlessly. Except for Li Jing who expressed his opinions, fortunately, other generals did not get involved.
Wang Junlin suddenly felt speechless and bored.
Therefore, he did not want to delay the discussion on this matter anymore, and said directly: "Since many country names in the past dynasties are the same as those of the Han Dynasty and the Wei Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms, which were derived from nobility, then my king's country name also comes from
Grant me a title! It's just that the word "Qin" has been used by Qin Shihuang, and I will naturally not use it again, so I took the second word "An" in my title as the country name. In addition, before Wei Zheng
It makes sense, this king wants to end the troubled times and let the people of the world live a stable life, so let’s use the word "An" as the name of the country!"
When Wang Junlin said it to the end, he was categorical and had a decisive look on his face, obviously he planned to leave it at that.
Except for Wei Zheng, who looked wildly surprised, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and others frowned and were about to speak out to object. Unexpectedly, Yu Shiji and Pei Shiju, who had other opinions just now, suddenly took the lead and said loudly: "Your Majesty is wise!"
"Two old guys..." Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and the others could not say anything other than silently cursing!
No matter what they say at this time, it will make people feel that the prince is unwise and they are slapping the prince in the face.
Besides, this is not unacceptable to the Da'an Dynasty. It sounds good and has a good meaning.
Therefore, the others hesitated for a moment, then followed Yu Shiji and Pei Shiju and said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise."
Since then, the Da'an Empire has been established, and it is just waiting for the founding ceremony and its enthronement ceremony to be announced to the world.
