On the first day of July in the second year of Han Xingping, Yuan Shu changed into the clothes of the Son of Heaven, rode the frame of the Son of Heaven, sacrificed heaven and earth in Shouchun, sacrificed to the sages of all walks of life, read the edict of enthronement, and then officially ascended the throne and became the emperor.

Jianguo - Chen.

Then changed to Yuan Longsheng, and the areas under the jurisdiction of Chen Guo all took the Longsheng era name as the orthodox year name, and the Han Dynasty Xingping year name should not be used.

Yuan Shu announced in the name of Emperor Chen that Liu Xie, the son of Han who had been defeated by the rebels of Xiliang and captured, would not be recognized and deposed by him, and could no longer claim to be the Son of Heaven.

He chose a county in Jiujiang County, Zhongli County, and then changed it to Zhongli County, as Liu Xie's future fief, and changed it to Zhongli County, which was quasi-hereditary.

Although he once thought about assassinating Liu Xie, but after thinking about it, he decided to claim the emperor first, and keep Liu Xie's life as a bonsai for his new dynasty, in order to show the generosity of the new dynasty and inherit the legitimacy of the Han heir.

He also announced that he would soon lead an army to defeat the Xiliang traitors and relieve them of the danger to the world.

Liu Xie is no longer the Son of Heaven, there is only one true Son of Heaven in the world, and that is his Yuan Shu Yuan Benchu.

According to the five virtues, Chen inherited the fire virtue of the Han Dynasty with Tude, so he took the earth color as the national color, and it was still yellow, and all the objects used by Yuan Shu were yellow.

Therefore, when Yuan Shu canonized his concubines, his relatives, and his subordinates as officials, they all used yellow silk silk to convey their will.

For example, when canonizing several generals under his command, Qiao Rui, Li Feng, Le Zhuo, Liang Gang and others, as well as some civil officials, all used yellow silk silk to convey his canonization order.

He canonized the general Zhang Xun as the general of the chariot cavalry, the general Ji Ling as the general of Wei, Qiao Rui, Li Feng, Le Zhuo, and Liang Gang as the generals of the left and right, and the general Liu Xun as the general of Lujiang Taishou and Zhengnan.

Canonized Yang Hong as Jiujiang Taishou, changed Jiujiang Taishou to Huainan Yin, and named Han Yin as Shangshuling and so on.

He also enshrined his sister-in-law Yuan Yao as the crown prince.

Then, for Sun Ce, who had previously disobeyed his decision to become emperor and did not show repentance, he ordered Liu Xun, the general of Zhengnan, to lead his troops to recruit him.

For Tao Qian, who violated his decision to be emperor, he decided to drive the expedition in person, and ordered the former general Qiao Rui to lead the army to conquer it first.

He decided to start these two beautiful battles for the founding of the country, stabilize the situation around him, and let everyone in the world know how powerful and good the new Chen State is.

Then he sent troops to attack Guanzhong, captured Liu Xie, and officially deposed him, so as to determine the legitimacy of the Chen Empire.

At the same time, he made the most important canonization order, canonizing Guo Peng and Guo Zifeng as the hussar general of the Chen Empire and the military governor of the three states of Hebei.

Then he quietly took away Guo Peng's power to govern Qingyan and Yanzhou, replaced it with his own people to be the assassin of Qingzhou and Yanzhou, and sent someone to take office.

He began to perceive that Guo Peng's power was very strong and might pose a threat to him, although he believed that Guo Peng would not do this, but in order to better ensure the stability of his country, it was better to reduce Guo Peng's power a little.

And he doesn't have a general, only Guo Peng serves as a hussar general, which means that Guo Peng is the first person and the first soldier in the whole Chen Empire under him, isn't this kind of treatment generous enough?

Well, generous is generous enough, if not anything else, it is indeed quite generous.

Guo thinks so in all fairness.

It's just that Guo naturally can't be calm about this situation.

Guo Peng, who lived in Jixian County and Xian Yufu exchanged the governance plan of Youzhou, learned the news of Yuan Shu's proclamation as emperor at the end of July, as well as Yuan Shu's various appointments, etc., Cheng Yu urgently called Guo Peng to return to Puyang County to preside over the overall situation, and now the entire Central Plains is in chaos.

Yuan Shu's unreasonable and unforeseen sudden proclamation of the emperor caught almost everyone off guard, and they didn't know how to deal with Yuan Shu's sudden proclamation as emperor.

After Guo Peng learned the news, he first became furious with Xian Yufu, angrily scolding Yuan Shu for being rebellious and ridiculous.

After the rage, he hid in his room alone and was ecstatic, feeling that he had finally waited for the opportunity to turn over and become a man.

After the ecstasy, Guo regained his composure and looked at the appointment that Yuan Shu had given him.

Well, no surprises, no accidents at all, the hussar general, heh, quite reluctant, and then the governor of Hebei Sanzhou, but to take away Qingyan Erzhou.

Then the country was named Chen, and the yuan was changed to Longsheng.

Guo Peng was not very surprised by this country name.

In the original history, Yuan Shu regarded himself as the son of heaven of the Zhong family, and this "Zhong" is obviously not the name of the country.

Since ancient times, the country name has been very particular about the choice of the country, and the country name basically comes from the many countries that were divided into the Zhou Dynasty.

Either the founders used the local area as their birthplace.

For example, the ancestors of the Qin people were sealed in Qin because of their meritorious work in raising horses for the Zhou royal family, so they used Qin as the country name.

Another example is that Zhao Kuangyin was the envoy of the Song Zhou Festival, and Song Zhou belonged to the ancient Song Dynasty in the Spring and Autumn Period, so Zhao Kuangyin took Song as the country name after the founding of the country.

Either it has something to do with the founder's knighthood.

For example, Cao Cao was named the king of Wei, and Cao Pi took Wei as the country name, and Cao Cao was named the king of Wei because his base camp Yecheng belonged to Wei during the Warring States period.

The Sui Dynasty was the same, Yang Jian was named the Duke of Suiguo, and after being the emperor, he thought that the word Suizi was ominous, so he changed it to Sui and established the Sui Dynasty, and in the Spring and Autumn Period, there was also a Suiguo.

Li Yuan's family was named the Duke of Tang, Li Yuan raised an army against the Sui and established a new dynasty, which took Tang as the name of the country, and the Tang State also existed in ancient times.

Other countries such as Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming, Qing, etc., did not follow such a law, and after the Song Dynasty, the establishment of the national names of the major regimes did not follow the ancient system.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was no such country as "Zhong", and all the titles obtained by Yuan Shu in the Han Empire were not related to the word "Zhong", so the possibility of Zhong as the country name can be basically ruled out.

Zhong itself means second in rank, and most of the time it is used in Zhong.

If there are four sons in the family, when the four sons are given the table characters, the first words can be respectively Bo Zhong Shu Ji.

So strictly speaking, Yuan Shu did not really claim the title of emperor.

He was a false name, not an emperor, and took the name of the Son of Heaven and wanted to be the Son of Heaven, but in the end he did not dare to take the last step, but adopted such nondescript means as being the "Son of Heaven of the Zhong Family" to satisfy his desires or test the world.

It can also be called preparing to be the emperor, preparing to be the emperor, but after all, he didn't dare to officially call the emperor.

Because at that time, there was a Cao Cao who respected the Son of Heaven in Xuchang, and the Son of Heaven didn't matter, but Cao Cao's military strength was strong, and Yuan Shu had been defeated by Cao Cao several times, and he was more afraid of Cao Cao's military strength.

He knew that his claim to be emperor would inevitably touch Cao Cao's nerves, and Cao Cao would definitely be his enemy, and he would fight him endlessly, and he would attack him with troops, so he was worried.

But Yuan Shu really wanted to be the emperor, and he was about to go crazy, so he had to use a method to prepare to be the emperor first, and by the way, he came to test Cao Cao.

As a result, not only Cao Cao, but the people of the world immediately attacked him and strangled Yuan Shu's nondescript regime in the cradle.

And the current situation, according to Guo's own understanding, should be his own existence to sweep away the troubles in the north for Yuan Shu, and he is Yuan Shu's "own person".

The worries in the south were small enough to make Yuan Shu feel afraid, so Yuan Shu simply and neatly chose to be officially proclaimed emperor, rather than preparing to be proclaimed emperor.

Yuan's family came from Chen, and the land of Shouchun occupied by Yuan Shu was once the hometown of Chu, Chen and Chu were both countries in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and now they are also occupied by Yuan Shu, so it is okay for Yuan Shu to use "Chen" or "Chu" as the country name, it depends on how Yuan Shu chooses.

Now Yuan Shu chose Chen, not Chu, probably because it was taboo that Chu was once Xiang Yu's country name, or that the Chu people called themselves barbarians, and they were not as orthodox as Chen Guonai's descendants of Yu Shun.

The Chen Empire was established in Shouchun under the leadership of Yuan Shu, officially established the state, announced the deposition of Liu Xie, the son of Han Dynasty, and replaced Han to rule the world.

He wanted to immediately sweep away the surrounding unministers, and then crusade against Guanzhong, capture Liu Xie, officially depose Liu Xie, and establish his own orthodoxy.

This is good.

This is a complete set of state-building plans, and if Yuan Shu really runs like this, if nothing else, he may indeed be able to establish a unified Chen empire.

But how could someone Guo allow him not to have an accident?
