On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 563 Great Yan Founds a Country

The envoys of Silla are also in Jinyang at this time, and of course, the envoys of Baekje are also indispensable.

Cui Che placed them all in the Fusang Pavilion without any concealment, so that they could know each other's existence.

Cui Che showed great interest in Silla's Hwarang system when receiving envoys from the three parties one after another.

Therefore, Choi Cheol took the trouble to ask the Silla envoys about the Hwarang system.

Hwarang, also known as Hualang Tu, Lang Jia, Merry Tu, Guoxian Tu, Fengyue Tu.

In addition to tempering their martial arts, they are also responsible for playing musical instruments, painting, and composing poems when holding grand ceremonies, which can be described as versatile.

It's just that Cui Che lost interest in the Hwarang system after learning about it in detail.

Hwarang was founded in 576 A.D. King Jinheung of Silla appointed two beautiful women, Nammo and Junzhen, as the original flowers, and led 300 noble children.

But Nan Mao and Junzhen killed each other in order to compete for favor, and they died one after another.

The following year, the king of Silla selected a beautiful man from 300 people to replace the original flower.

These Hwarangs gather together to hone their martial arts and improve their knowledge and skills, forming a complex and huge network of interpersonal relationships. They recommend and praise each other.

Silla scholar Kim Dae-wen once claimed in the book "Hwarang Century": Loyal ministers and prime ministers stand out from it; warriors and generals come from it.

And this is precisely what Cui Che cannot accept, he does not need a huge group of nobles that can fight against the imperial power.

Moreover, after understanding it in detail, the Hwarang system always gave Cui Che the feeling of Bushido, which made him feel uncomfortable.

In fact, the South Korean army in later generations is advocating the so-called Hwarang way to benchmark Bushido.

Cui Che treated the envoys of Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje equally.

He doesn't have the energy to devote himself to the struggle for the Korean peninsula at this time, and it is the choice that is in Cui Che's interest to have these three families check each other.

On New Year's Eve, as the imperial court lifted the curfew and allowed the citizens to light lanterns to celebrate, the sound of firecrackers outside was endless.

In the Siyi Pavilion, many foreign guests could not sleep all night, looking forward to the abdication ceremony and witnessing the birth of a new empire.

The next day, New Year's Day.

As the sky was getting brighter, the officials rushed out of the city in groups and rushed to the abdication platform.

More than [-] troops have long been waiting here, and they have just returned from the battlefield, and their murderous spirit has not diminished, and they are lined up on both sides of the abdication platform.

"The moon is dark and the wind is high, Shan Yuye fled.

"If you want to chase Qingqi away, the bow and sword will be covered with heavy snow."

The murderous army of more than [-] shouted in unison, and the sound shook the sky.

The foreign guests followed hundreds of officials through the army formation, even the timid ones trembled in this intimidating momentum, their legs seemed to be filled with lead, and they needed the support of their companions to walk.

Dulan Khan was among the crowd. As the titular Great Khan of the Turkic Khanate, he was naturally at the forefront of the team.

Even if he walked up to the abdication ceremony, he would be at the place closest to Cui Che to witness the abdication ceremony.

When Dulan Khan heard this poem for the first time, he unconsciously showed embarrassment because of "Shan Yu Ye escaped".

He once joined forces with Datou Khan of the Western Turkic Turks in the battle of Xian'e River, and was beaten to the ground by Cui Che.

But after thinking about it carefully, he was relieved. After all, he was not the only Turkic Khan who had suffered the shame of defeating the army.

From his father Sabolo Khan Ashina who took pictures, to his cousin Abo Khan and Nili Khan in the Western Turks, to Datou Khan in the Western Turks, and now Qimin Khan.

Which of these people is not Cui Che's defeated opponent.

Besides, Dulan Khan also knew that Cui Che's move was to deter visitors from all over the world, not to humiliate himself.

Every minister and foreign guest who passed by the military formation was reminded of Cui Che's great achievements in the past few years by the five-character quatrains that were shouted repeatedly.

In the midst of everyone's attention, Cui Che and the young emperor Yang Hao came together.

Getting off the carriage, Yang Hao faced the murderous aura created by the army of more than [-] for the first time, and he couldn't help feeling afraid.

Cui Che lowered his head and said to Yang Hao:
"With me here, don't be afraid, let me be your father-in-law for the last time, and accompany you for a while."

As he spoke, Cui Che took Yang Hao's hand and walked towards the abdication platform.

Whenever Cui Che passed by, the soldiers on both sides shouted:

"Longevity King!"

Yang Hao's heart was sinking all the time. When he was on the abdication platform, he stopped and asked Cui Che:
"Father Xiang, for 28 years he has supported scholars in the imperial court. Today, father usurped the country. Why is there no loyal minister who stands up and speaks up for the civil and military affairs of the court?"

Cui Che replied softly:

"Maybe someone stood up in my heart countless times, pointed at my nose, and scolded the national traitor.

"But they have to think too much about their own future and the future of the clan. With so many concerns, they can only bury their true thoughts in their hearts."

Yang Hao asked again:

"I have heard two prophecies, 'Yan land has a royal spirit, Cui family is the son of heaven', and 'Li family should be prosperous'. Now that the father of the prime minister is about to establish a country, do you dare to ask whether the prophecy indicates the destiny?"

Cui Che didn't know which person surnamed Li offended Yang Hao, but he still smiled indifferently:
"I never believed in the so-called prophecy. I only know that in troubled times, the emperor and the strong will do it."

As he spoke, Cui Che took Yang Hao's hand and stepped up to the abdication platform.

Altars have already been prepared on the top floor of the Zen Rendezvous Terrace, and the white horses and other livestock are also slaughtered on the spot.

Cui Che received the edict of the Zen position from Yang Hao's hand again under the crowd watching the ceremony, overlooking all living beings with a heroic spirit.

After sacrificing to heaven and earth, Shangshu Zuopu shot Fang Xuanling and read Cui Che's founding edict aloud.

The imperial guards standing on the steps conveyed the content of the edict with their majestic voices, so that everyone present could hear clearly.

Yang Hao whispered to Cui Che:

"I also hope that the father will not forget the promise of the day."

Cui Che said seriously:
"It's time to change your tune, Duke Gao."

In 609 A.D., on the first day of the first lunar month, Cui Che, King of Yan, received Zen outside Jinyang City. He changed the name of the country to Yan and the name of the year to Kaiping, which means the peace of the world.

Cui Che, the emperor of Great Yan, former emperor Yang Hao, was the county magistrate of Gaodu (now Yuncheng, Shanxi). Zu Junyan's daughter got married.

He also took two concubines, Yang Lihua and Yang Awu, as queens, and issued an edict to make Cui Qiji, the son of King Yan, as the prince, and sent people to Xuzhou to call him back to Beijing. Shi Lijing, the governor of Xuzhou who had just taken office, was the governor of Xuzhou.

On the same day, Cui Che immediately issued an imperial edict, rewarding the three armies, rewarding all the officials, and exempting the people from all over the country from renting land for one year.

In addition to being kind to the people, it is also for Yuan Cong, who followed his own righteousness, to become an official and rank, but there is no king with a different surname.

After all, Cui Che himself was the only king with a different surname in the entire Sui Dynasty. Now that he has established a country and proclaimed himself emperor, the rest of the people dare not extravagantly ask for a reward from a king with a different surname to avoid suspicion.
