Alliance of the Heavens and Ming Dynasty

Chapter 239 Changing Year Name

"Ha, why should Ai Qing feel uncomfortable? If the old one doesn't go, the new one won't come!"

Seeing Wang Zuo's ugly face as if he had eaten a dead fly, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing.

"Your Majesty said so"

With a bitter face, Wang Zuo replied helplessly.

After finishing the two serious matters, Zhu Houzhao planned to talk about his personal affairs: "In the new era, with a new atmosphere, I intend to change my year name. Can you think of a good new year name for me?"

Change the year?
Everyone was stunned for a moment, wondering why Zhu Houzhao was doing well, why would he want to change his year name, Zhengde, from "Shangshu Dayumo", which means virtue, firmness and righteousness, isn't it good?
"Why did Your Majesty think of changing the year name?"

Wang Yangming asked curiously.

"Orthodoxy, Zhengde, and Zhu Qizhen's trash' year name have the same orthographic character at the same time. I am deeply ashamed."

"I dare not say that I have surpassed the three emperors in merit, and the five emperors in virtue, but I am also worthy of the people of the world. How can I be listed with the emperor who is called the emperor and the traitor of the country?"

Zhu Houzhao sneered and said that Zhu Qizhen was displeased at first, but after the Man Niu incident, he despised him even more.

Even if the year name and Zhu Qizhen have the same orthographic character, in his opinion, it is also an invisible shame.

It was also due to the mutual checks and balances among the sixteen dynasties of the Ming Dynasty. No one dared to launch a war to destroy the country. Otherwise, he would be the first to destroy Zhu Qizhen.

What can you do with such a person, messing around with No. 1 waste, living is a waste of air.

"This"

Everyone was speechless, Zhu Houzhao could despise Zhu Qizhen, that was the old Zhu's own business, but they didn't dare to speak too much.

Then again, even if Zhu Qizhen is wrong in every possible way, he is also the biological father of Grandpa Zhu Houzhao, so in front of them, he said that he is ashamed of Zhu Qizhen, isn't he too disrespectful of the orthodox emperor? inside!

Everyone secretly complained in their hearts.

Fortunately, they have long adapted to Zhu Houzhao's apostasy, and they have no intention of telling Zhu Houzhao about loyalty, filial piety, righteousness, and respect for their ancestors.

That is to say, Zhu Houzhao probably won't listen to it. After all, Zhu Houzhao really looks down on Zhu Qizhen by 1 people.

Suppressing the messy thoughts in his heart, he began to think of a new year name for Zhu Houzhao.

The year name, if you say it is important, it is very important, it symbolizes an era when the emperor ruled the world.

But it is not important, and it is indeed not important. There are not many emperors who changed their reign names frequently in history.

However, in the old Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty, except for Zhu Qizhen, who was in power twice, all other emperors had only one reign name in their lifetime. It was not easy for Zhu Houzhao to suddenly ask for a change of reign name.

There is a lot of particularity in choosing the title of the year, not just randomly. It must not only highlight the emperor's merits, but also be rich in connotations.

"What do you think of Yuan Tai, Your Majesty?"

Mao Ji suggested.

"Yuan Tai!"

Zhu Houzhao chewed for a while, and felt pretty good. Yuantai, taking the initial value of one yuan, meant that all phenomena opened up Tai, which was quite in line with the situation in front of him.

The revival of spiritual energy and the change of times, isn't it just a general trend of returning to the beginning and starting from scratch.

But Zhu Houzhao felt that "Yuantai" still lacked charm and could not achieve the momentum he wanted.

All in all, "Yuantai" has connotation, but lacks a majestic power.

"How about Qian Ning?"

Wang Jia spoke out.

The universe is stable and the people are peaceful. It is also a good year name, but Zhu Houzhao still doesn't like it.

Immediately afterwards, everyone thought of several years for Zhu Houzhao, but Zhu Houzhao was not satisfied. He felt that what they came up with was short of what he wanted, which could highlight his ambition.

"What do you think of Taiwu, Your Majesty?"

Wang Yangming is just Wang Yangming, if he doesn't say it, he will be fine, but once he says it, he will firmly grasp Zhu Houzhao's mind.

"Tai Wu?"

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up.

Tai, that is, greatness, is endless and boundless; Wu, martial arts, sweeps the world and calms the world.

Taiwu, with the supreme martial arts, has achieved the effect Zhu Houzhao wanted in terms of implication and momentum.

Moreover, Taiwu and Hongwu have the same effect in the same way, and the similarity of the year name with the founding ancestor Taizu does not just mean that Zhu Houzhao is not weaker than others.

Even though the times have changed, he still has the ambition to keep pace with Emperor Taizu.

The person who knows Zhu Houzhao best is Wang Yangming.

"it is good"

Zhu Houzhao had a smile on his face. He liked Taiwu's reign name very much, so he decided on it: "I will choose Taiwu as my reign title in the future. After this year, I will officially announce it to the world."

Seeing this, everyone expressed their congratulations. The emperor favored martial arts, and they all knew this well, and they were not surprised that Zhu Houzhao chose such an aggressive year name "Taiwu".

They all followed Zhu Houzhao step by step. Although they did not understand Zhu Houzhao like Wang Yangming, they also knew the nature of their own emperor.

Before Zhu Houzhao could be more happy for 2 minutes, Hong Zhong, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, came to trouble again!
"Your Majesty, with the deployment of martial arts in the world, the martial arts in the world are getting stronger and stronger, the people are brave and fierce, and chaos occurs frequently."

"In Hebei alone, there are frequent murders with armed forces. If the court does not stop it, the situation may become more serious."

Hong Zhong said solemnly.

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but feel a little headache. Since ancient times, chivalry used martial arts to violate the law, and Confucianism used literature to disrupt the law.

He has seen Confucian scholars breaking the law and rebelling against the law a long time ago, and now it is the turn of the chivalrous to use martial arts to violate the ban, and it must be dealt with seriously.

"What do you think should be done?"

Zhu Houzhao threw the problem to everyone.

"In the land of Yanzhao, since ancient times, there have been many generous and elegiac people who drew their swords in anger. It was not uncommon before the world spread martial arts. Now, His Majesty spreads martial arts all over the world. With force in his body, he is willing to kill himself. This kind of chaos is not unreasonable. strange."

"However, even if the person killed deserves what he deserves, he should be handed over to the government for severe trial and punishment. How can we ignore the laws of the country and act recklessly? This trend will never last."

"Therefore, I believe that the imperial court should set up a department dedicated to arresting civilian warriors who violate the ban with armed forces, and to manage and restrain civilian warriors."

Wang Qiong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, said with reason and evidence, which caused everyone to nod repeatedly.

"My lord Wang's words are justified, and I second my opinion!"

Liang Chu, Wang Zuo, Li Yu, Hong Zhong, and Liu Yu, who were juxtaposed with Wang Qiong, hurriedly followed suit.

Re-establishing a departmental organization to manage civil warriors must be under the control of the Ministry of War, which can greatly strengthen the strength of the Ministry of War.

Since Zhu Houzhao changed the Dudu Mansion of the Five Armies into the military department, the power of the military department has become smaller and smaller, and it has completely lost the ability to command the army.

Today's Ministry of War is only responsible for keeping military records, ordnance and other affairs. Without the most important ability to mobilize troops, its status among the six ministries is greatly reduced. As long as there is a chance to strengthen the Ministry of War, Wang Qiong will not let it go.

The six ministries check and balance each other and form a whole, which is why Liang Chu and others spoke in support.

"Reorganize a department to manage and restrain civilian warriors!"

Zhu Houzhao tapped the table with his fingers. Although Wang Qiong's proposal was selfish, it was not unreasonable. He had thought about it himself, but he hadn't decided who to appoint as the head of the new department.
