After completing the payment of pensions for the fallen soldiers, Da Zhou began preparations for moving the capital, first moving the government yamen, the families of ministers and generals, as well as the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and other institutions.

Subsequently, the personnel of the Zhou Dynasty and the army stationed in Beiping also began to move south a month after the order to move the capital.

Yuming rode a white horse and walked in the center of the team moving south, but he finally sighed lightly, thinking that if he was the emperor, it would be a big problem for the queen to appoint.

After deciding to be the emperor, he discussed this issue with his generals and officials, but everyone's opinions were different.

It stands to reason that he should set up his first wife, Sun Wujian, as the empress, because she is also his wife canonized by Yang Guang, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty.

However, now that the Sui Dynasty has died, and he is also one of the princes who rebelled against the Sui, it seems a little inappropriate to follow the will of the emperor of the Sui Dynasty. Moreover, although the eldest grandson Wujian was born in a noble family, the eldest grandson's family is a small family and its influence is not large.

Du Ruhui believes that it is better for the queen to have a woman with a family background, which is much more beneficial to the unification of the world. In his opinion, letting Li Xiuning or Xiao Yuexian be the queen is conducive to winning over the Guanlongmen valve and the Jiangnan Shi clan, which can add a lot of points to the unification of the world in the Great Zhou. There are quite a few officials and generals who have this opinion.

The second option is to make Yang Luoqi his wife, she is the princess of the Sui Dynasty. If Yang Luoqi is his wife, he can claim that he is the legitimate successor of the Sui Dynasty, which is conducive to winning over the Renshu clan, as well as some surnames and local officials who are still loyal to the Sui Dynasty.

Supporting this opinion are the brothers Fang Xuanling and Fang Xuanzao. They have always been nostalgic for the Sui Dynasty, and they also strongly advocated that the official system of the new dynasty should continue to adopt the Sui Dynasty system in the future.

Of course, such a consequence will make some generals from the rebel army dissatisfied, because they started by opposing the Sui. If Yang Luoqi is the queen, there are pros and cons.

The first option is to be the queen of commoner wives without aristocratic background, such as Lishu Dream and Red Sleeves, and those who hold this opinion believe that the women of the Limen Valve clan will inevitably have a situation of foreign relatives interfering in politics. Even if it is a small family like the eldest grandson Wuji, there are important ministers in the court like the eldest grandson Wuji. If the eldest grandson Wuji is made the queen, then the eldest grandson Wuji will inevitably become a powerful minister in the court.

And if Yang Luoqi, Li Xiuning, Xiao Yuexian and other women are made queens, the power of relatives will be stronger. Therefore, the daughter of the Limen valve family is the queen, and for the royal family, it is the next policy.

Therefore, generals such as Xu Shiji, Song Jingang, and Cheng Yanjin vigorously pushed Shumeng or Red Sleeves to be the queen of the Great Zhou. They are from the grassroots, and they are very disgusted with the gate valve clan and the Sui Dynasty royal family, so they naturally will not consider Li Xiuning, Yang Luoqi and other women. And between the two daughters of Shumeng and Red Sleeves, because Shumeng has a higher prestige among folk surnames. After they unified their thoughts, they strongly advocated the establishment of their dreams. In order to let the queen really become the emperor's assistant in the world, rather than the source of the government **** and the dictatorship of relatives.

Each of these opinions has its own truth, and they can all bring benefits to themselves and Da Zhou. Of course, the disadvantages are inevitable, depending on how to weigh the pros and cons. The thought of these questions gave Yu Ming a headache, because he still couldn't make up his mind.

The six wives of the eldest grandson, Wuji, Red Sleeves, Li Xiuning, Yang Luoqi, Shumeng, and Xiao Yuexian are all equally important to him, and there is no question of which one he likes or which one he rejects. But now the problem in front of him is in front of him, but it makes Yuming in a dilemma. Because no matter which one he chooses, he will offend the other five and make them think that he is biased.

"Forget it, anyway, I haven't officially called the emperor yet, let's talk about it when we get to Luoyang!" Yu Ming secretly thought in his heart.

……

After arriving in Luoyang, Yu Ming officially settled in the original Yu family's Xu Guogong Mansion, which has now been renovated, but only the damaged houses have been repaired, according to Yu Ming's requirements, the repair of Luoyang City must not be large-scale construction, the requisitioned migrant workers must be paid according to the market price, and the place where they can be thrifty is as frugal as possible, he does not want to leave a second image of Yang Guang who has built a lot of construction for the surname of Luoyang City.

The military attachés of the imperial court also chose a mansion to live in, because there were not many officials in the Great Zhou, and the number of mansions left by the former Sui was several times more than theirs, so there was no jealousy because of the palace competition.

Not long after Yuming settled in Xu Guogong's mansion, Du Ruhui came to meet him with a long blood letter, which was signed by famous army generals in Hedong, Huaibei, Henan and other fronts, and the content was to request King Zhou to ascend the throne as emperor.

"King Zhou, right now, not only the front-line army, but also the people of Liaodong, Hebei, Shandong, North Korea and other places support your ascension to the throne as emperor! Everyone believes that only you can lead the country to strength, and you are the Zhengshuo of our original surname. Du Ruhui said excitedly.

Yu Ming knew that this was all a trick that the people below came up with in order to let him ascend the throne and prove that his Zhou Dynasty replaced the Sui Dynasty was what everyone expected, not a trick that the dynasty came up with to usurp the throne.

He also accepted the blood letter for the smile of cooperation, but on the surface, he still pretended to be humble, saying that his moral prestige was still shallow, and whether he could take on the important task of revitalizing the country was still in his heart.

The next day, Fang Xuanling also ordered people to take out dozens of letters from officials from all over the country, expressing their support for King Zhou as the emperor. They are willing to continue to serve the Great Zhou Dynasty under the leadership of King Zhou!

At this time, the officials of the DPRK and China were all excited, showing their loyalty to Yuming, and even many merchants in Luoyang City also issued a call for Yuming to ascend the throne.

However, Yuming did not immediately agree to the throne, and according to the tradition of Zen Rang, he should have refused twice before agreeing to be transferred as emperor for the first time.

So, Yang Luoqi, as the princess of Da Sui, proposed to let Yuming add Jiuxi on the first day. He also ordered an old man of the Sui Dynasty royal family to draft nine tin for him and promote Yuming's exploits to the world.

Jiuxi is the highest courtesy given by the ancient emperors to the princes and ministers, and it is a gift. They refer to nine kinds of utensils and treatments, such as clothes, Zhuhu, Nama, Yuma, Leze, Yabenzhi, Yue, bow and arrow, and beard, and are mostly awarded to powerful ministers who have made great contributions to the country.

It's just that since Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty named Prime Minister Cao Cao as the queen of Wei, all the powerful ministers who wanted to usurp the throne, after mastering the military and political power, did not imitate their stories, in order to prepare for the subsequent change of dynasty, Yang Jian and Li Yuan were all like this.

Therefore, Yang Luoqi, who is the princess of the Great Sui, ordered the announcement of Jiuxi, which is undoubtedly to announce to the whole world that the Great Sui will be officially replaced by the new Zhou Dynasty.

With Yuming sealing Jiuxi, the government and the opposition, the voices of the people of Shilin gradually unified. From the eunuchs and ministers to the peddlers and pawns, they all realized that the ascension to the throne of King Zhou had become an unstoppable trend. Teahouses, restaurants, and private schools also discuss the news that Yuming will ascend the throne as emperor every day, and point out the benefits of doing so to the people of the world, and build momentum from public opinion.

Not only the surname, but even "God" seems to feel the strength of this momentum. In just a few months, from Henan to Shandong, from Hebei to Liaodong, almost every corner of the Great Zhou District has appeared all kinds of auspicious signs. And those pieces with auspicious signs were engraved on rice paper and constantly delivered to the palace. The content of it is also quite interesting to read, like what iron trees bloom, lotus flowers bloom in autumn, roosters lay eggs, and meteors falling from the sky are no longer novel.

Of course, for these so-called auspicious signs, Yu Ming can guess that there are ten ** tricks made up by officials at all levels, and they are used to fool the surname.

Through the vigorous propaganda of officials, as well as the influence of "auspicious signs" in various places. In just over a month, the calls of the government and the opposition for King Zhou to ascend the throne as emperor were copied high.

And Yang Luoqi once again proposed on behalf of the Yang royal family of the Great Sui to let Yuming ascend the throne as emperor.

Of course, Yuming politely declined again.

However, after Li Jing and his wife returned from the grassland together, Yang Luoqi led the military attache for the first time to the door of the Xuguo Mansion to offer jade seals and ribbons, saying that the Sui room was exhausted, and she was the granddaughter of Emperor Yang Jian, the daughter of Emperor Yang Guang, and also believed that Yuming was the best emperor candidate in the world, and only he could lead the people of the Central Plains to rise again, so that the people of the world could live a rich and peaceful life, and be free from the cruelty and poison of Turkic, Goryeo and other foreign races.

This time, Yu Ming finally didn't shirk it anymore, and he nodded in agreement amid the cheers of the military attachés and generals in the army: "Since everyone thinks that this king is the best person to lead this country. If I refuse, it will be a bit hypocritical......... All right! Let me take on this responsibility! ”

Everyone was overjoyed at this time, and they saluted and shouted, "Long live!" Banzai! Hooray! ”

Soon, the ministers of the court and the central government discussed and decided to hold a Zen concession ceremony in the future to hold an enthronement ceremony for Yuming.

After confirming the matter, the ministers left one by one.

Yu Ming returned to his bedroom, and just sat down, he was informed by Zhang Zhongjian that Li Jing and his wife and Dong Li were waiting in the study.

He was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Uncle Shi, go!" Let's go meet Master. ”

When I arrived in the study of Xu Guogong's mansion, I saw Li Jing, the Red Whisk Girl and Dong Li all standing in the house. When they saw Yuming coming in, they all knelt down and kowtowed, shouting long live.

"Master, Master, even you are doing this with me? It's time to see the outside! Yu Ming hurriedly helped Li Jing and the Red Whisk Girl to say.

"It's different! You're about to become emperor! When I entered the door just now, I heard Lord Du say that the time is set for the queen of heaven, and when the time comes, everyone will have to call you the emperor! Li Jing said solemnly.
