Tour the world of martial arts

Chapter 379
When they attacked Luoyang, the army was overwhelming and marched straight into Luoyang. But by the time everything calmed down and everything was completely smoothed out, three months had passed.

Zhao Mingyuan led his army to easily capture Luoyang, and Wang Shichong fled without a fight. The news had already spread throughout the world.

The military power of Wagang Army shocked the world.

This frightened all the princes into mobilizing troops and trying every means to enhance their own strength.To a certain extent, it also accelerated the process of unifying the world.

In the past three months, Li Clan has wiped out Xue Ju to the west and stabilized the rear.

After accepting Wang Shichong, he thought he was strong enough, and even allowed him to support the Zen position of the Little Emperor, calling himself the King of Tang, and began to call himself a loner.

With Li Yuan at the beginning, all the princes did not show weakness and proclaimed themselves kings one after another.

Dou Jiande established himself as emperor, named his country "Xia", and dominated Hebei.

Yu Wenhuaji established himself as emperor in Wei County, with the country name "Xu" and the reign name "Tianshou".

Liang Shidu united with the Turks and established himself as emperor. The country was named "Liang" and the reign was named "Yonglong".

Gao Kaidao called himself "King of Yan", his reign was "Shixing", and he established his capital in Yuyang.

Xu Yuanlang captured Dongping and called himself "King of Lu".

Lin Shihong also proclaimed himself emperor, with his country named "Chu", his capital in Yuzhang, and his reign named "Taiping".

Li Zitong occupied Jiangdu and called himself "King of Chu". His country was named "Wu" and his reign was named "Mingzheng".

Shen Faxing called himself "King of Liang" and built his capital near Ling, with the title of "Yankang".

Furthermore, Liu Wuzhou attached himself to the Turks and plotted to become emperor; Zhu Can, the famous man-eating demon king, took advantage of the chaos to cause trouble and called himself "King Garuda"; Li Gui, Gao Kaidao, Wang Hua and other powerful forces were also eyeing the throne and could claim the throne at any time. The possibility of becoming emperor.

However, in just a few months, there was an endless stream of people in the world who were called lonely people, and soon there were more people than they could count on both hands.

Under such a trend, Zhao Mingyuan had to be affected by it.

In fact, just after Luoyang was captured, someone brought up old matters again and asked Zhao Mingyuan to become king.

As soon as this proposal was made, it was immediately unanimously approved by everyone.

After all, what is associated with being king is the establishment.

The kingship system is mainly to establish and maintain the status and authority of a country's ruler, and to achieve the goals of unification, stability and governance of the country.

The establishment of the kingship system also means that Zhao Mingyuan will set up a court structure, and everything will be formalized.It is no longer the grass-roots team run by only a few people like before.

This also means that everyone must be promoted to a higher position and be rewarded based on merit.

How could anyone object to such a thing?

Even Zhao Mingyuan cannot disobey the public opinion.

At the beginning, Zhao Mingyuan could postpone the matter on the grounds that military and political affairs were in chaos at the beginning of the war.But then, the princes from all over the world proclaimed themselves king one after another, and the ministers and generals under his command came to see him one after another. He could no longer refuse.

In this case, Zhao Mingyuan could not lag behind others and finally agreed.

It's not that he wants to taste the feeling of being a loner, but this matter has become a trend. Many princes who are far less powerful than him have already become kings, and he can't delay it any longer.

After all, in many diplomatic discussions and exchanges, others call themselves kings, but Zhao Mingyuan still claims the title of commander-in-chief. Doesn't that mean he is a head lower than others?
There is no small matter in diplomacy. If the name is not correct, the words will not be correct. Naturally, we cannot be careless in this regard.

Moreover, being crowned king can also give confidence to everyone under his command, showing that he is determined for the world and will not give up on his sons halfway like Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling.

Moreover, after being awarded officials and titles, the soldiers will be more motivated.

Since you have decided to become king, you must first choose a suitable name.

This name is not simple. It may even be the future name of the country. It will be passed down for hundreds of years, so it cannot be easily concluded.

So Zhao Mingyuan asked people to discuss it. When the news spread, the government and the public were talking about it.

Someone named Luoyang Zheng based on its geographical location, which seems to be the name of a small country here during the Spring and Autumn Period.

Only then did Zhao Mingyuan understand why in his original destiny, when Wang Shichong became king, he was called King Zheng. It turned out to be this origin.

This national title did not sound like a long-term solution. Zhao Mingyuan directly rejected it without asking anyone to discuss it.

Then some people proposed to name the country Song. In the future, Zhao Mingyuan would be the king of Song, and the country established would be the Song Dynasty.

Hearing Da Song, Zhao Mingyuan was almost stunned.

Although his surname is Zhao, why should he become the King of Song Dynasty?

The Song Dynasty is actually going to appear hundreds of years in advance. What's going on?

If he really became the King of Song, Zhao Mingyuan would be depressed to death.

Although the Song Dynasty has been around for hundreds of years, it is not considered a short-lived dynasty in history.

But Zhao Mingyuan would rather call him King Zheng than King Song. That would be too bad luck!

Zhao Mingyuan hurriedly asked the reason, and then he realized that there was a country named Song in the Spring and Autumn Period, which was east of the Zheng Kingdom, and it was now Zhao Mingyuan's territory.

The Song Dynasty is the source of Chinese sage culture. The four sages Confucius, Mozi, Zhuangzi and Huizi all came from the Song Dynasty. It is the birthplace of the four major thoughts of Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism and famous schools at the core of Chinese traditional culture. It is known as It is a "state of etiquette".

But no matter what the origin of the Song Dynasty was, this title was naturally rejected by Zhao Mingyuan, leaving no room for relaxation.

Even if someone in the Qintian Prison said that the name of Song Dynasty had hundreds of years of national destiny, Zhao Mingyuan never hesitated.Some people also suggested that Wei could be the name of the country, because Wagangzhai raised troops in the ancient Wei Kingdom, and the country was named after the land of Longxing.

Although the country with Wei as its name has not been in any big country, it is at least much better than Song Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhao Mingyuan did not directly veto it, but kept it as a backup to see if there was anything better.

Since most of the country names are named after countries that once existed during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, some people naturally suggested that it would be better to directly name the country Zhao.

This is the origin of the surname Zhao, and it can barely reflect Zhao Mingyuan's extraordinary origins and that he was originally from the royal family.

After all, Zhao is also one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, so calling him this title is not an insult.

But since the state of Zhao was mentioned, naturally some people also mentioned that the country should be named Qin.

The monarch of the Qin State originally had the surname Zhao. Zhao Mingyuan wanted to take over the title of the country. There was nothing wrong with it.

After all, the Qin Dynasty unified the six countries and was much more powerful and domineering than the Zhao Kingdom.Moreover, as the first unified dynasty, Qin was far from being comparable to Zhao.

Perhaps the only disadvantage of naming the country Qin is that Qin has a bad reputation.

After all, for hundreds of years, Bao Qin's reputation was almost universally known.

The death of Yang II in the Sui Dynasty was due to Yang Guang's great achievements in building palaces, building the Grand Canal, and conquering Korea three times.Many people say that Yang Guang's violent behavior against the Qin Dynasty led to the demise of the Sui Dynasty.

Therefore, if Zhao Mingyuan names the country Qin, maybe someone will make a fuss about it.I'm afraid that under the instigation of thoughtful people, the people will misunderstand him and think that Zhao Mingyuan is also a tyrannical king.

This is a problem.

Of course, there is another problem for Zhao Mingyuan, that is, after Li Yuan established himself as King of Tang, he once made Li Shimin King of Qin.

If he wants to be called the King of Qin, he always feels as if he is being taken advantage of.

How can this work?

Therefore, although Zhao Mingyuan was a little tempted to name the country Qin and call himself King of Qin, he finally put it aside.

In the end, an unexpected but logical title was decided, which was Ming Dynasty, and Zhao Mingyuan was also called King Ming.

Although he was called Mingshuai before, Zhao Mingyuan only thought it was a temporary transitional title, but he didn't want anyone to mention it again at this time.It may become his own king's title, or even the title of the entire dynasty.

Can you please clarify this title?

In fact, it was very good, Zhao Mingyuan liked it very much.

If there is no reconciliation, no cession of territory, no surrender of vassals, and no compensation, the emperor will guard the country and the king will die in the country.

This is the best evaluation of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the character that Zhao Mingyuan likes very much.

Therefore, even though it seemed that he was trying to pick on someone's wit, Zhao Mingyuan still designated the country's name as Ming.

I hope my Ming Dynasty can also have such character.

Then, Zhao Mingyuan was naturally called King Ming.

Well, this doesn't sound very good. It always reminds Zhao Mingyuan of Hades and Jiumozhi.

This is not a good meaning!

However, among these options, this is indeed the most suitable for Zhao Mingyuan.

Therefore, Zhao Mingyuan did not make any changes, so let the king of Ming be the king of Ming.

Since it is a king-proclaimed establishment, the name of the country has been decided, and the system to be implemented by the country will naturally also be established.

Zhao Mingyuan naturally chose the cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty. Based on this calculation, this country name is indeed suitable.

The cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty was almost the pinnacle of the development of the political system of the feudal dynasty.Even if Emperor Jiajing did not go to court for decades, the world could still operate freely, which shows the superiority of this system.

In fact, this is not far from the modern cabinet system.

As for the Qing Dynasty after the explanation, although it was the pinnacle of the feudal dynasty and the imperial system, it was only the pinnacle of the emperor's power.

Are those ministers still ministers?

They are just a group of slaves kneeling on the ground, just yes-men, without the character of a minister. The entire court is just the emperor's word.

This is not what Zhao Mingyuan wants.

Although the cabinet system weakened the imperial power, it also divided the prime minister's position into cabinet ministers to check and balance each other so that one family could not dominate.Even the chief minister of the cabinet cannot cover the sky with one hand.

Of course, the reason why Zhao Mingyuan enabled this system naturally had another benefit.

That is, with the cabinet here, Zhao Mingyuan will never be too tired as the emperor.

When Zhao Mingyuan came to this world, although he did have the intention to save the people of the world, he did not want to be a foolish king.But he is also not prepared to be tied to the palace by this throne.

Naturally, the first batch of cabinet ministers were Shen Luoyan, Xu Xingzhi, and Wei Zheng. With them here, Zhao Mingyuan believed that nothing would go wrong even if he left Luoyang.

Of course, since you are the king of the establishment, you will naturally be rewarded based on your merits.

Naturally, all the civil servants and military generals were rewarded, promoted and made rich, so there was no mention of it.
