Chapter 133: Liu Yuan Jianxia
Unhurried, Liu Yuan was in charge of all matters related to the founding of the Xiongnu state. A group of Xiongnu nobles and Han courtiers, plus many Han Confucian scholars who had taken refuge in Meiji, discussed for nearly half a month before discussing the ruling structure of the new "Xiongnu State".
The country name "Xia", the source naturally comes from the Taishi Gongshu. The Xiongnu, the descendants of their ancestor Xia Hou, are also called Chunwei. For their ancestors, the Xiongnu people themselves don't know, but Da Dan Yu said what it is.
This is also what Liu Yuan secretly emphasized since the sinicization of the Xiongnu, subtly instilling in all the Xiongnu that we have the same root and the same species as the Han people.
Of course, some nobles proposed to establish a country called "Xiongnu", which was directly vetoed by Liu Yuan. At this time, the grassland under Liu Yuan's rule was dominated by the Xiongnu, Han, Xianbei, Qiang, and Qianren, as well as some Wuhuan, Fuyu, Huiqian, and Ya people, and dozens of small tribes of unknown race.
It can be said that the races are mixed, and after the annexation of Xianbei, more and more Han people were included in the rule, and now the Xiongnu under Liu Yuan's rule have become a hodgepodge of all ethnic groups. The grassland country with the Xiongnu, Han people, and Xianbei as the main body is too narrow to summarize it as "Xiongnu country".
"I, Liu Yuan, rule the subordinates, no matter whether he was a Xiongnu, a Han or a Xianbei, or what race he was before, from now on, there is only one identity, and that is the Xia people!" Liu Yuan's original words strongly showed his determination to integrate the clans.
And a cadre of Han people is very excited, judging from Liu Yuan's actions, this is to continue to strengthen the degree of sinicization of the grassland hu. In the summer, such a "great cause" will be gradually realized under their witness, and I am really lucky.
The capital city is unsurprisingly set at Meiji, and as for Dragon City, no one mentions it. Even if there are "stubborn" people who have this idea, I am afraid that without Liu Yuan's refusal, the aristocratic ministers will be rejected. Accustomed to such a "prosperous" place as Meiji, no one wants to go back to that bitter cold place.
The official system Liu Yuan is willing to imitate the three princes and nine qing, and after thinking about it carefully, he doesn't feel that there is no need to copy it all. Drawing on the three provinces and six ministries after the Sui and Tang dynasties, six departments of Shangshu were set up under the Three Dukes, and the functions of Jiuqing were integrated into Shangshutai. The Metropolitan Procuratorate was set up to supervise affairs. Another inner court was placed, and the official positions of the king's close ministers such as the servants, the scattered horses, and the Lang officials were under its jurisdiction.
The local area still imitates the county system of Han County, on the grassland, on the previous system of Yiluo, divides pastures, builds cities along the water, builds forts one by one, and sets up administrative centers. Although the nomadic nature of the tribe was weakened, control was again strengthened.
For the complex things of the system, except for a few people, most of the nobles do not care, and it is up to the big single to decide. What they are more concerned about is the title, as well as the food and reward involved behind it, which involves their vital interests.
The lord is divided into five classes, the duke, the marquis, the uncle, the son, and the male, of which the duke, the marquis, and the uncle are divided into one to three classes. The top of the title of foreign minister is temporarily a first-class marquis, and only the children of the royal family can be crowned dukes, which is equivalent to a fictitious duke. Liu Yuan's sons are still young, and they didn't want to give them knighthoods so early, and the only eligible ones are enemies, and Liu Yuan will not give them dukes at this time.
The general framework is set, but it is also something on paper, and if you want to implement it, you need to start building it step by step.
In the next few days of the fifth year of Zhongping, the entire Meiji fell into a busy state, preparing for Liu Yuan's founding of the country.
Wang Rou belongs to the kind of people who are extremely busy, as the first person in Meiji Hanchen, Liu Yuan naturally entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, leading a group of Hanchen to actively participate in the founding of the country, and he was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground. After hesitation, out of curiosity, he finally decided to go out of Shi Meiji and took up a position under Wang Rou to assist him in preparing for the ceremony.
Wang Ze also slowly entered Liu Yuan's field of vision, and then summoned him to investigate, and was very satisfied, and immediately entrusted him with the post of servant, as Liu Yuan's close minister.
For the Wang brothers, Liu Yuan had never heard of them in his previous life, and compared to those radiant "tide makers" in the Three Kingdoms era, he did not have the slightest fame. After contact, he knew that all of them were talents, even if they did not have the talents of "passing through the heavens and latitudes", it also made Liu Yuan realize that there were too many buried talents in this world.
"Isn't this the King of Stability, how did you get mixed up to this point?" Looking at Zhang Chun, who was dressed in cloth and kneeling underneath, he asked knowingly.
"Da Danyu has tormented the villain, in front of you, where dare to be the king. The villain went to Meiji, and he is coming to join the big single, and he hopes that the big single will be taken in! Hearing Liu Yuan's ridicule, Zhang Chuncheng was terrified and lay on the ground to plead.
After being defeated by Gongsun Zhan, Zhang Ju died, Zhang Chun knew that he could not do anything in Youzhou, and if he stayed, he would die sooner or later. Decisively escaped from the Han border with his wife and hundreds of cronies and went north to the grassland.
Suddenly remembered that Zhang Ju had mentioned defecting to the Xiongnu before, and after a little thought, he decisively took people to the west to try his luck.
Liu Yuan was busy with the founding of the Xiongnu state, and when he heard that Zhang Chun was visiting, he also met him in his spare time, and changed his mood by the way.
After thinking about it for a moment, the surroundings were surprisingly quiet, and Zhang Chun was apprehensive, waiting for Liu Yuan's decision. raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Chun a few times, and finally spoke: "You stay in Meiji first, and then arrange it after everything is dealt with!" ”
After speaking, he ordered his attendants to lead him down and find a courtyard in the city to settle down. For Zhang Chun, Liu Yuan has a dispensable mentality, control it first, maybe it will be useful in the future, and Meiji also has a few mouthfuls of food for his family.
In January of the sixth year of Zhongping, the founding ceremony of the Xiongnu was held for several months, and the grand occasion was unprecedented.
Liu Yuan was called the king in Meiji and established the Xia Kingdom. The first feudal dynasty on the grassland was established.
In the main hall of the royal palace, he wore a crown of nine dragons and a black dragon robe, and he was on the throne. Liu Yuan was kneeling, his eyes looking straight ahead, and his afterglow glanced at the ministers in the hall through the beads, greeting them for worship.
The ministers in the palace were neat and serious, dressed in brand-new Han court clothes with strong Hu ethnic colors, giving people a strong visual impact.
"Long live the King!" As if it had been rehearsed, all the ministers shouted in unison. Going out along the outside of the palace, hundreds of Hun nobles knelt down in a row of four, plus the spiritual and mighty guards guarding the palace, all shouted "Long live the king!" ”
The cries that overflowed from the palace spread floor by layer, throughout the city.
Liu Yuan's eyes were confused, and at this moment, his heart was excited, this was the Xiongnu he wanted, the grassland dynasty he was pursuing. After a long time, the eyes returned to clarity, with a little resoluteness, the construction of the Xia Kingdom also represents the beginning of comprehensive sinicization.
The news of Liu Yuan's founding of the country quickly spread and spread throughout China, causing an uproar. The establishment of the Xiongnu is nothing, but the name of "Xia" is thought-provoking.
