Chapter 971 - Determining the Country Name
Gao Yihuan's expectation was good, after he released the news, there were still concerts in the local area one after another.
Among them, the most auspicious rui found in Hedong and Hebei, such as the report of the prefect of Puzhou, some people found that in the Yellow River, the huge waves rolled, and there were dragons infested, and some people in Daizhou reported that there were auspicious clouds falling on Wutai Mountain, and the new land of Hebei was not to be outdone, Feng Quantian was shameless, and he simply said directly that he dreamed of the immortals, and said that he should be the emperor of Gao Yihuan.
He is really shameless to the extreme, others have to spend some effort, search the mountains and seas to find some rare beasts, spend some effort to make people light a fire in the middle of the night, burn two forests, he is good, a dream will be solved, and there is no way to prove it.
With him taking the lead, Hebei's crooked melons and cracked dates followed suit, and for a while everyone had strange dreams, either dreaming of immortals, or dreaming of Buddha, and there was only one meaning conveyed, that is, Gao Yihuan must be the emperor.
Although Gao Yihuan is shameless, he has not reached this point, he is busy making orders, and those who dream don't need to go to the book, they have to have real objects.
As soon as Gao Yihuan summed it up, he found that few people echoed the areas controlled first in Guanzhong and Huguang, of course, they were not against Gao Yihuan being called emperor, but they just felt that if they were called emperors, they didn't need to be so high-profile, some of them were too unreasonable.
In Hedong, Chen Mingxia was responsible for the recruitment and resettlement, and many protΓ©gΓ©s were placed, so there were more auspicious Rui found in Hedong.
Feng Quan and others, who are newly taken refuge in Hebei, have no discipline at all, and the Manchus can take refuge, not to mention that Gao Yihuan is called an emperor.
They discovered Gao Yihuan's intentions, so they did what they liked, and according to the practice of officialdom and the tacit understanding between the monarch and the ministers, they did things for Gao Yihuan, and Gao Yihuan had to reward them and let them gain a foothold in the Wei State.
If not, Gao Yihuan has something to do next time that he can't say, say hello, who will do it for him?
Gao Yihuan received a lot of auspiciousness, but he was not very satisfied, first, his hometown Chen Liu, no one reported him auspicious, and secondly, although there were a lot of auspicious rui, the level was not enough, and none of the five spirits were not, or vague.
On this day, Gao Yihuan looked at Song Shu, suddenly raised his eyebrows, a smile appeared on his face, and turned his head and asked: "Mr. Chen, Niu Jinxing is the governor of eastern Sichuan, how are you doing!" β
Chen Mingxia's heart sank, raised his vigilance, and frowned, "Southern Sichuan has made a lot of trouble in the past two years, Niu Jinxing is in charge of Chongqing, Kuizhou, and Shunqing, and it is peaceful, but the minister heard that Niu Jinxing likes to form gangs and factions in the local area, and this person still has a lot of problems." β
Niu Jinxing said in the recital that he found auspicious Rui and wanted to carry out a white turtle and a white tiger, which made Gao Yihuan very happy, and originally wanted to bring Lao Niu with him, but Chen Mingxia said that Lao Niu likes to form gangs, so that Gao Yihuan's little good impression just born is gone, but Lao Niu sacrificed two top Rui beasts at once, and it is not okay not to reward them.
Gao Yihuan knocked his hand on the table and muttered: "Niu Jinxing seems to have some research on the etiquette system, transfer him back to Wang Jing and serve in the Ministry of Etiquette!" β
Gao Yihuan is ready to let Wang Shicong be in charge of the production and recovery of Shandong and Huaibei, Niu Jinxing once drummed up a set of Dashun official system, as well as etiquette, Gao Yihuan felt that he might be able to use it after he became the emperor.
Chen Mingxia nodded when he heard this, and then said, "The king, regarding the matter of the country name and the year name, the cabinet wants to discuss with the king. β
Gao Yihuan asked, "Have you arrived at several university scholars?" β
Chen Mingxia said: "Except for those who can't leave, they have already arrived in Tai'an." β
Gao Yihuan smiled: "Since this is the case, let's discuss it tonight!" β
Chen Mingxia received the order and was about to retire, but Gao Yihuan stopped him, "Wait a minute, post the content of this note on the newspaper, and ask for the front page!" β
Chen Mingxia took it, nodded yes, exited the study, opened it, and immediately pulled his face down.

Due to deliberate leakage, the news that Gao Yihuan was going to be proclaimed emperor had already spread within the territory of Wei.
However, this news did not shock people much, and it can be said that it is a natural thing.
As early as after the Battle of Hedong, the prestige of Wei had already surpassed that of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and the Wei State had long expected Gao Yihuan to be emperor.
In the current situation, the Great Wei unified the north, the territory was much larger than that of the Southern Ming, and the prestige was also higher than that of the Southern Ming.
In such a situation, it is no longer possible to live in peace with Nanming, let alone continue to be a vassal, Gao Yihuan agreed, and the army would not agree.
Therefore, when they heard this news, the vast majority of Wei people were not talking about whether they should be called emperor, but about what country name and what year name they would use after being called emperor, and what new policies the new dynasty would have.
The Ming Dynasty has existed for more than 270 years, and the image left for the people in the north is the scourge of rogue and slave overturning, as well as the corruption of the imperial court and the misery of the people.
The foundation of the Ming Dynasty in the south may still be very solid, but in the north, the people do not remember it, and they are still full of expectations for Gao Yihuan to ascend the throne and establish a new empire.

That night, in the Tai'an Palace, Li Yan, Chen Mingxia, Wang Shicong and others gathered to discuss the matter of the national name.
There are two main schools of opinion here, one suggests continuing to use Wei, and the other suggests choosing another country name.
The reason for suggesting the use of Wei is very simple, Chen Liu is the land of Wei, and King Gao is in the same vein from the leader of the Wei Wujun to the king of Wei, which is more in line with the convention.
The reason for suggesting another country name is that the new dynasty has a new atmosphere, and Wei has not established a unified regime in history, so it should be auspicious and change the country name, and as for what to change, there are many opinions, some say Han, some say Zhou, and can come up with a lot of reasons.
At this time, several people argued in the hall, quoting scriptures one by one, each with a reason, and they all hoped to finally choose their own plan and obtain the glory of determining the name of the country.
At this time, the guards outside the door shouted, "The king has arrived!" β
Everyone got up one after another, only to see Gao Yi walking in happily from outside, and everyone bowed down together, "See the king!" β
"Gentlemen, please take a seat!" After Gao Yihuan sat down in his place, he waved his hand.
Everyone sat down on both sides, and Gao Yihuan asked, "I don't know how many gentlemen, is there a conclusion?" β
Li Yan, as the first assistant, said: "Back to the king, there are still big differences, and no consensus has been reached, the minister advocates continuing to use Wei, and the Wang Pavilion Department and the Chen Pavilion Department have their own suggestions, mainly Han, Zhou, Song, Qi and other plans, and ask the king to decide." β
Gao Yihuan frowned slightly, pondering for a moment, "Why is there Qi, it doesn't seem to be touched." β
Chen Mingxia said: "This is the old lady's suggestion~"
Gao Yihuan remembered that Gao Zurong was keen on research earlier, and found him a bunch of ancestors, but he couldn't use this Qi.
"Forget it, what's the reason for Zhou and Song!" Gao Yihuan asked.
Wang Shicong said: "Zhou Chongli, using Zhou has the meaning of restoring morality and order. β
Lu Yifang said: "The Song culture was prosperous, and the people were rich. β
Gao Yihuan pondered, Zhou and Song were good to say, but Gao Yihuan felt that something was wrong, and said half-loudly: "These two country names are too weak, and the new dynasty must reverse the Central Plains Dynasty and shrink inward. β
Everyone thought about a lot of country names, but they were denied by Gao Yihuan in an instant, which inevitably made the person who suggested it feel pity.
At this time, Chen Mingxia smiled and said, "King, what about Han?" β
Gao Yihuan frowned and pondered, but shook his head after half a ring, "The country name of Han is really good, but there are two Han Dynasty, and the significance of continuing the inheritance is greater than the expansion, and the Lone King still uses Wei!" β
Li Yan smiled and said: "Chen Liu belongs to the land of Wei, during the Warring States Period, Wei Wushu was invincible, and during the Three Kingdoms period, Wei was also relatively strong, and he did not think that Wei was a unified dynasty with the name of the country, and with Wei as the name of the country, he could create a new dynasty!" β
Gao Yihuan bowed slightly, starting from Wei Wujun, he already had feelings for Wei, so he immediately said to everyone: "Since this is the case, it will be called Great Wei!" β
Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
September 30, 1651 A.D., according to the officials of the Qin Heavenly Prison, was an auspicious day of the zodiac.
At this time, at the foot of Mount Tai, 100,000 Wei troops lined up in formation, banners hunting, spears towering into the clouds.
Gao Yihuan's guard of honor appeared in the field of vision of the army and the people, only to see three thousand black armor iron horsemen open the way, behind the Xuanyi guard wearing python robes, hanging goose swords on the waist, fresh clothes and angry horses, twelve dragon flags in front, sun flags, moon flags, green dragons, white tigers and other sixty-four flags behind, and finally all kinds of yellow covers, Chinese umbrellas, flags, Gao Yihuan sat in a cart pulled by six horses, surrounded by wrestlers holding axes, swords, halberds, and various ritual weapons, out of Tai'an City, to Mount Tai.
Gao Yihuan's guard of honor traveled all the way, cheering along the way, which also heralded the beginning of the ceremony, and a new empire was about to be established on this land.
