In the side hall, Wang Can sat on the throne, and below him stood Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia and other civil and military ministers. Seeing everyone standing, Wang Can waved his hand and said, "Aren't you tired of standing?" All sit down. I have left you here for the purpose of deliberating on the question of the name of the country and the name of the year, and as for the accession to the throne, you can choose another date, and I will not consider it for the time being. Speak your mind and share your opinions. ”

They thanked each other and sat down in order.

There was silence in the main hall, and no one seemed to want to be a bird.

In the end, Lu Meng clenched his fists and said: "Lord, Dingzu (Ren Anzi) is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, it is Taishan Beidou, and the matter of the country name and year name is best decided by Dingzu Gong." ”

With a fierce kick, Lu Meng kicked the ball to Ren An.

This Ren An is the Ren An of the Three Kingdoms, not the Western Han Dynasty figure of Sima Qian's "Book of Reporting to Ren An".

Compared with Ren An of the Western Han Dynasty, the current Ren An is talented, highly respected, and is a fruitful figure in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Ren An is already seventy-six years old, with silver hair, a sparse beard, a face full of spots and wrinkles, and it is difficult to walk and need help. Although Ren An served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he was not in charge. Wang Can wanted such a great Confucian to sit in the Ministry of Rites, and also set an example for the Yizhou scholars.

Ren An trembled and bowed to Wang Can, and said slowly: "King Shu, you founded the country in Chengdu. The country name is Shu, and as for the year name, the king of Shu can set himself. ”

behave, behave in a proper manner, and do not have the slightest transgression.

Wang Can shook his head and said: "The established country name does not need to follow the geographical location or anything, it must be imposing, and it must be able to overwhelm Cao Cao's Wei State, the Shu State is too ordinary, not good." ”

Ren An smashed his mouth and wanted to speak, but he didn't say it.

Wang Can looked at Guo Jia and asked, "Fengxiao, you have a lot of ghost ideas on weekdays, tell me what you think?" What kind of country name do you think is a good one? ”

"What do you mean by a ghost idea? That's a lot of ingenuity. ”

Guo Jia said a few words in his heart, his eyes changed, and he said with a smile: "My lord, I think that the minister thinks that the word 'saint' is simply used as the name of the country and my dynasty is called 'holy dynasty', what does the lord think?" ”

"Pilgrimage?"

Wang Can muttered twice, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "It's not bad, Holy Dynasty, Holy Dynasty!" ”

Just when Wang Can felt good, Xun You arched his hand and said: "Lord, the minister thinks that it is extremely inappropriate to use 'saint' as the name of the country, it is not desirable, it is not desirable!" Xun Youlian said two 'undesirable', turned his eyes to Guo Jia who was snickering, glared at Guo Jia viciously, and blamed Guo Jia for Hu Lai.

"Why?"

Wang Can looked at Xun You strangely, and asked with a smile: "Gongda, first tell me why you oppose Fengxiao's proposal?" Why do you think the word 'sacred' is not good, and what kind of country name do you think is the best. ”

Xun You stood up from his seat and arched his hand: "In the past, the Seven Kingdoms competed for power, the country name of Qin was Qin, called King Qin, Yingzheng ruled the world, ascended the throne and called the emperor, followed the name of King Qin, called Great Qin; Gaozu Liu Bang rebelled, and then was named the king of Han, Gaozu defeated Xiang Chu, ruled the world, and followed the name of the king of Han, called the Great Han. Now the lord is promoted to the king of Shu, and if he wants to ascend the throne and be called the emperor, he naturally follows the title of the lord and calls it Dashu. The minister thinks that the advice of the grandfather is a serious remark, and the lord is asked to think twice. ”

"Da Shu, uncle?" Wang Can was amused in his heart, shook his head again and again and said, "Dashu is not good, not good." ”

Xun You sighed and asked, "Dare to ask the lord, what word is used as the country name?" ”

When Wang Can heard this, a bright smile appeared on his face, and he said in a deep voice: "I want to take 'Heaven' as the name of the country and call it the Heavenly Empire." ”

When the civil officials in the main hall heard this, they were in an uproar.

Good guy, with 'Tian' as the name of the country, it's too arrogant!

Cheng Yu coughed lightly, stood up, and arched his hand and said: "Lord, the emperor calls it the Son of Heaven, which means the Son of Heaven. However, the name of the lord is 'Heaven', which is called the Celestial Empire, which is disrespectful to the heavens. We can call ourselves the 'Holy Dynasty', and other small Hulu countries are subservient, and we can be called the 'Heavenly Dynasty', but we can't use 'Tian' as the name of the country, please think twice. ”

Cheng Yu spoke earnestly, his expression was solemn, and he said sincerely: "If the heavens are angry, the country will be in danger." My lord, if you want to choose an imposing country name, you can use it as Feng Xiao said 'sacred', or take 'Yu', 'Zhou', 'Hong', 'Waste' and so on as the country name, why choose 'Heaven'? This won't work! ”

Wang Can said: "I am the Emperor of Heaven, is the Celestial Empire bad?" ”

At this time, Jia Xu knelt on the ground with a thud and said, "Lord, don't use 'heaven'!" ”

Bang! Bang!

The old guy simply slammed his head on the ground and knocked his head twice in a row.

Immediately afterwards, Ren An, Li Ru, Xun You, Tian Feng and other important ministers knelt down one after another and asked Wang Can to re-choose the country name. In the eyes of these courtiers, God must not be offended, and Wang Can used 'Heaven' as the name of the country, which was disrespectful to God. Wang Can looked at the kneeling piece below and felt a headache, but fortunately Wei Yan and Lu Meng hadn't knelt down yet.

Wang Can asked, "Lu Meng, what do you think?" ”

Lu Meng said loudly: "The lord said that it was 'heaven', and the last general agreed with 'heaven', and the last general agreed. ”

"Bastard!"

When Lu Meng's words fell, he heard Cheng Yu shout.

Cheng Yu's eyes widened, and he scolded angrily: "Lu Meng, do you kid still connive at the lord in the face of major rights and wrongs?" The lord takes 'heaven' as the name of the country, which is an offense to God and a great disrespect. The lord can use any character as the country name, but you can't use the word 'day', you have to think clearly and don't make mistakes. ”

Cheng Yu's voice was violent, his gray brows jumped and jumped, and he was extremely angry.

Lu Meng was scolded by Cheng Yu, but did not refute.

Seeing that everyone was opposed, Wang Can sighed and said, "All the princes should rise up, and don't use 'heaven' as the name of the country." "These old guys don't agree, let alone Cai Yong.

Everyone rose up against it, and Wang Can'er couldn't stand it.

"Lord Shengming!"

The ministers breathed a sigh of relief and called Wang Can Shengming.

Wang Can said in a deep voice: "Since I can't think of a domineering country name, I will follow the proposal of Ding Zugong to take 'Shu' as the country name and call it Dashu." I have taken your suggestion, and you have to agree with me about the year name. Since I started, I will no longer draw up the era name in the future, and the year of the Common Era shall prevail. This year is the seventh year of Xingping, it is the year 200 AD, and the year of the AD era will be used directly in the future, and the year name will no longer be set, which is troublesome and time-consuming. ”

When everyone heard this, they had another headache.

The era name is the exclusive use of each emperor, and it is difficult to do without an era name?

Everyone looked at each other, thinking that Wang Can was really tormenting. When choosing the country name, I chose 'day', and now I have come up with the trick of abolishing the era name, which is troublesome enough.

However, Wang Can took a step back, how could they insist?

Seeing that everyone was silent, Wang Can said: "There are too many country names, and the people can't remember them, and they can't remember them." It is better and convenient to simply use the A.D. year, which is easy to remember, and the accumulation of each year. The matter is settled, and it will not be changed. Starting this year, the era name of the Han Dynasty will be abolished, starting with 200 AD. ”

"No!"

Jia Xu, Cheng Yu and others couldn't resist Wang Can, so they had to respond.

Tian Feng stood up and arched his hand: "Lord, the matter of the country name and the year name has been solved, and there is still the problem of the capital." Although Chengdu is flat, prosperous and rich, the road in Shuzhong, where Chengdu is located, is difficult to travel, and the traffic is inconvenient, so it is not suitable as the capital of a dynasty. The minister suggested that the lord moved the capital to Luoyang, and to the north he could control the secluded and annexed land, to the south he could lead the land of Jingxiang from afar, to the west he could also master Bashu and Xiliang, and to the east he could clamp Yanzhou, Qingzhou and other places, and it was most suitable to set the capital in Luoyang. ”

Wang Can restrained his smile, nodded and said, "Yuan Hao's words make sense, I agree." As far as the current situation is concerned, we have taken Luoyang and Chang'an, and we control the land of Sanfu, so we can move to Luoyang. When I fought Cao Cao next, I sat in Luoyang and commanded the battle. After ascending the throne, he immediately went north and moved the capital to Luoyang. ”

"The lord is wise."

Tian Feng bowed, his face full of smiles.

No one refuted this proposal, because everyone knew that although Chengdu was good, it was surrounded by mountains and rugged roads, which was not suitable as a national capital, and it was most suitable to move the capital to Luoyang.

……

200 A.D., the third day of the sixth month.

Wang Can was called the emperor in Chengdu, and the country name was 'Shu', and since then Shu was born. After Wang Can ascended the throne, the thing was to reward hundreds of officials, which was something that all civil ministers and military generals looked forward to.

When the edict was handed down, everyone was overjoyed.

After the excitement, Wang Can calmed down and began to prepare for the decisive battle with Cao Cao.

Shi A hurriedly came to the palace, with a happy face, with a thick joy on his eyebrows, and did not calm down from the joy. Now Wang Can has fulfilled his promise to Wang Yue and Shi A at that time, and appointed Shi A as the lieutenant of the division and the local government, and has become the supervisor of the Beijing division and the local government, and his authority has increased greatly. After Shi A entered the main hall, he bowed and said, "Minister Shi A, please meet Your Majesty." ”

Wang Can waved his hand and said, "Sit down, is there something wrong?" ”

Shi A said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister sent people to round up Fu Zhu and Hua Xin, and arrested the two of them, please make a decision for Your Majesty." ”

Wang Can frowned and said: "Shi, don't add the words 'return to Your Majesty' when you speak, say something directly, listen to it and be tired of panicking, remember it clearly." ”

"No!" Shi Ah bowed and shook his head.

Wang Can instructed: "Bring Fu Zhu and Hua Xin to the main hall, and I will interrogate them personally." "Although Wang Can is already the emperor of Shu, when talking to his henchmen, he is still used to calling himself 'I'. Although this title has been admonished countless times by Jia Xu, Tian Feng and others, Wang Can still goes his own way, and Jia Xu and others are helpless and do not persuade.

Shi Ah received the order and hurriedly bowed and withdrew.
