Yang Wu didn't know how Gao Miao and the others would persuade him again, but he had already decided to refuse this time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This is also something that cannot be helped, since ancient times, the establishment of the country and the enthronement have to be agreed to after three invitations, in order to show that their ascension to the pole is the invitation of the audience; Although Yang Wu came from later generations, these rules must be followed.

The foundation of Huainan as a king had been formed as early as the time of Yang Xingmi, but at that time, Huainan was more of a powerful feudal town.

Yang Xingmi attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and he is more kind to appease his subordinates, coupled with his own outstanding personal charm, so he can Huainan work together.

However, Yang Xingmi's leniency also brought about an important consequence, that is, the power of the people was too great, so that Yang Xingmi was more like the leader of the assassins and generals in many places in Huainan in many times, rather than their lord.

Yang Xingmi also seemed to be aware of this situation in his later years, coupled with Yang Wu's strong advocacy, so in the next few years, Yang Xingmi vigorously carried out reforms, strengthened the authority of Wu Wangfu internally, suppressed local forces, and after quelling the rebellion of Tian Hao, An Renyi, Zhu Yanshou, and Zhang Hao, he changed the lack of authority of Wu Wangfu in the past with measures such as military and political separation, and realized the first step of transformation from a feudal town to a state.

By the time Yang Wu succeeded him as the new king of Wu, Huainan was in fact no different from a country in all respects, except for the lack of an official name.

Now, what Yang Wu has to do is to complete the final step of the transformation from a feudal town to a state.

At the end of October in the fourth year of Tianyou, under the leadership of Gao Xuan, Zhou Yin, and Li Shenfu, Huainan Wenwu once again entered the palace of King Wu to make a statement to Yang Wu, the king of Wu, and persuaded Yang Wu to build the country and become the king, in order to meet the hopes of all the people.

Gao Miao mentioned in his introduction: "Now that the Tang Dynasty has died at the hands of Zhu Wen, the king is respected as the king of Wu, although he bears the heavy responsibility of reviving the Tang Dynasty, but to achieve this important task, there must be enough name first." Nowadays, many of the civil and military officials in Huainan have concurrently served as the deputy envoy of the festival, and although the king has the name of the southeast province and the camp of the capital, but its essence is only one party of the festival, which is not enough to control the civil and military. ”

The other civil and military forces asked for advice and persuaded Yang Wu to open the country.

However, Yang Wu once again rejected everyone's proposal, only saying that he was not popular enough, and it was difficult to convince the public, and he was always unmoved by the persuasion of the civil and military forces.

Gao Miao and others saw that it was difficult to convince Yang Wu, so they could only retire temporarily.

Although this persuasion ended in failure again, everyone already understood Yang Wu's thoughts, and everyone knew that he wanted to agree after three invitations.

Therefore, after more than half a month, Gao Miao and the other three led everyone to the Wu Wangfu again with jade books, treasure ribbons and other ritual weapons.

Not only did the civil and military officials who stayed in Guangling arrive, but there were also many generals from all over the country who rushed to Guangling in person to admonish; Under the leadership of the government, the people from all over the country wrote to Yang Wu to build the country.

This time, under the persuasion of everyone, Yang Wu finally agreed to everyone's request, and the enthronement ceremony was officially held on the first day of the first month of the fifth year of Tianyou.

Although Yang Wu agreed to the establishment of the country, it is not a trivial matter to establish the country and become the king, even if Yang Wu wants to do it simply, many civil and military forces in Huainan will not agree.

Yang Wu himself also thinks that this matter can't be done so hastily, although he is not an extravagant and wasteful person, and he can't compare to Yang Xingmi's diligence and thrift, but he will not be stingy in this kind of major ceremony.

Therefore, Yang Wu directly handed over this matter to Gao Miao and Yin Wengui to be responsible for handling it.

Since it is the founding of the country, it is necessary to form a set of corresponding canonical systems.

The first point is the issue of establishing a country name.

For people in this era, "name" is not a trivial matter, even in ordinary people's homes, naming children is a very solemn thing, which contains all kinds of exquisiteness; And giving a country a name is a more important matter, and there must be no hastiness.

Taking the country name is not a matter that can be decided by Yang Wu himself with a pat on the head, but it is related to the question of whether the country will be established in the future or not.

To take the country name, the first point is the origin of the country name.

There are several main sources of country names, the first of which is the name of the place where it started.

Whether it is the name of the country that was posthumously recorded by the descendants before the Zhou Dynasty, or the name of the country set by the founder later, this situation exists.

For example, Xia Qi founded the country, with Xia as the country name. Zhou Ji destroyed Shang and founded the country, with Zhou as the country name. Qin's ancestor was surnamed Ying, and was sealed in Qin by Zhou because of his meritorious work in raising horses, so he took Qin as the country name; Later, he was promoted to a prince, and still took Qin as the country name; King Ying of Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms and called the first emperor, and continued to use Qin as the national name. Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, said that he was the envoy of the Song Prefecture before the emperor, because the place originally belonged to the ancient Song Dynasty, so he took the Song as the country name.

In addition to being named after the place of origin, the second is from the knighthood.

For example, in the Han Dynasty, because Liu Bang was the king of Han, the Wei established by Cao Pi came from the title of King Wei of Cao Cao, and the title of King Jin came from the title of King of Jin, in addition to the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, and today's Later Liang.

The above two are the most common cases of country names, and they are also the most recognized orthodox way of naming.

In addition to these two, there are also some other ways to take names, such as the surname of the founder as the country name, such as the three families of Han, Zhao and Wei during the Warring States Period, and the Chen established by Chen Baxian in the Southern Dynasty is this way.

None of the later unifying orthodox dynasties took the name of the country in this way.

Another example is to name according to proverbs, which are mainly small countries that do not enter the stream or dynasties established by nomadic peoples like the Yuan and Qing dynasties in later generations, which are naturally not orthodox naming methods.

In addition, there are some ways to honor the names of previous dynasties, which are simply to recognize an ancestor in a previous powerful dynasty.

For example, Li Cunqiao of the Later Tang Dynasty and Li Yu of the Southern Tang Dynasty believed that they had inherited the orthodoxy of the Tang Dynasty, and thus set the name of the country, as well as Liu Zhiyuan, Liu Yin, etc., because their surnames were Liu, so they took Han as the name of the country, plus many dynasties with the name of "Zhou", etc., are all named in this way.

The last point is that the name of the country is generally used as a name, and the two-word country name is generally used by a small barbarian country, and it is by no means an orthodox country name, so if Yang Wu dares to use it as a country name, it will definitely attract a lot of scolding and ridicule.

In general, if you want to take the country name, you must follow the thinking of the people of this era, and you can't just follow Yang Wu's own ideas.

So unless Yang Wu wants to work against his subordinates, or he doesn't have the idea of unifying the world, and just wants to be a grass king who divides one side, he can only follow the rules and regulations to take the country name in this era.

In this way, there is only one future country name that is most in line with the way of naming this era: that is, "Wu".

Naming Wu is also a helpless solution, at least Yang Wu himself is not very satisfied.

The name Wu always gives people the feeling of a small country divided into regions.

Although the State of Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period of history was a great power in the south, it was eventually destroyed by the Yue State and did not even continue to the Warring States Period; In later generations, Sun Wu, who took Wu as his country name, was also not an orthodox dynasty, but a secession country in the southeast.

However, in addition to the country name of Wu, Yang Wu could not find other suitable country names for the time being.

For example, although the Yang family originated from the Hongnong Yang family, and the Sui Dynasty also claimed to have originated from the Hongnong Yang family, it is difficult to say whether the Sui Dynasty was born from the Hongnong Yang family, and the Yang family was separated from the Hongnong Yang family is a very distant thing, and it has no connection with the Hongnong Yang family for a long time, and it has nothing to do with the Yang family of the Sui Dynasty.

Unless Yang Wu is willing to recognize his ancestors, the so-called inheritance of the Sui Dynasty is impossible.

As a person who has the ambition to create an orthodox dynasty that unifies the world, how can Yang Wu be willing to recognize his ancestors casually?

What's more, the Sui Dynasty was replaced by the Tang Dynasty, and now Yang Wu is still under the banner of reviving the Tang Dynasty, how can he use Sui as the national name?

In short, Yang Wu is a person with great ambitions, and he is unwilling to do those things that recognize his ancestors and take the country name indiscriminately, so although he is not satisfied with the country name "Wu", he can only do this for the time being.

"Maybe in the future, you will dominate the world and change another one when you are officially called the emperor?" Yang Wu thought helplessly.

After the issue of the country name is determined, the second question is the issue of the national capital.

In fact, Yang Wu has already determined this point, that is, Shengzhou New City, which has been basically completed.

As the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, it naturally has its unique advantages as the best place to build the capital of those regimes based in the south.

Since the expansion project of Shengzhou began more than three years ago, it has been progressing very smoothly, especially since a large number of Liang soldiers captured in the Northern Expedition were used as coolies, which further accelerated the progress of the project.

These coolies are much more convenient to use than those ordinary migrant workers, at least they will not have the problem of losing the hearts of the people; However, the cost was that the overwhelmed captives often rioted and even rioted.

This kind of thing has happened many times since the use of prisoners began two years ago, so that Chen Yanqian had to transfer state troops to suppress them many times, and slaughtered many prisoners to suppress the riot.

According to Chen, although the use of captives as coolies was convenient and economical, it was not a long-term solution, so he repeatedly asked for the release of the captives after the completion of the Shengzhou construction project to prevent larger-scale unrest.

Fortunately, the construction of the city wall in Shengzhou has entered the final stage, and according to Chen Yanqian's estimate, it will be completely completed by the end of this year.

In this way, Shengju was officially established as the national capital and would be renamed Jinling Mansion, while Gwangling would be renamed Jiangdu Mansion as a companion capital.
