487 on the eve of the proclamation of the emperor
As the saying goes, some people are happy and some are sad, the news that Luan Yi is going to be the emperor makes the people of the whole diocese happy, but there are also people who are depressed by this, and Liu Xie is even more sad among them.
Since Liu Xie ascended the throne as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he has not lived a good life under the control of Dong Zhuoyinwei. Later, Luan Yi rescued him, and he enjoyed the treatment of the emperor, but in Liu Xie's opinion, compared with the tyrannical Dong Zhuo, Luan Yi's smiling tiger was more terrifying.
With the help of the power in his hands, as well as the highly incendiary Church of Our Lady, he peeled off the cocoon, and unconsciously eroded the status of imperial power in the minds of civil and military officials step by step.
With the passage of time, the ministers who originally supported Liu Xie either died of old age and illness, or were removed from real power and became decorations in the court, or they were directly collected by Luan Yi for evidence, and were assigned to the frontier or even executed for their crimes, and some chose to defect to Luan Yi in order to pursue fame and fortune. Many others could not resist the temptation of Mary and became the apostles of Mary......
When Liu Xie realized that power was drifting away from him, it was too late, and Dahan was already terminally ill. Today, seventeen years later, he has become a lonely man, and none of the Chinese martial arts in the dynasty are willing to be used by him, and even the eunuchs and maids in the palace are not subordinate to his life.
He, the emperor, has died in name only.
As a smart person, although Liu Xie is unwilling to fall into the Han family, he knows better than anyone that it is absolutely impossible to save at this time, and any resistance is a mantis arm as a car, which is no different from looking for death.
He is not afraid of death, he feels that the country that his ancestors have created for generations has been ruined by his own injuries, and the spirit of his ancestors in the sky has been humiliated. So, he wanted to die.
But he knew that even if he died, he couldn't trouble Luan Yi - it didn't matter if he died, he took pity on his wife and children, and other people in the Liu clan. He lost the country, and he couldn't lose the descendants of the Liu family anymore.
So, after thinking all night, he made the wise decision to write a holy decree to announce to the world that he was going to abdicate and cede the emperor's throne to Luan Yi.
This time, Luan Yi did not refuse, and happily accepted the last holy decree of his life, and then renamed Liu Xie as Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty - the emperor who personally dedicated the dynasty and allowed him to move to Chang'an Palace for permanent residence.
After receiving the holy decree, Luan Yi, who was dressed in a dragon robe, set the day of his accession to the throne on the fifth day of the fifth month of May after consulting with his ministers.
The reason why it was chosen on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, on the one hand, is because this is the closest auspicious day now, as the so-called country cannot be without a monarch for a day, after Liu Xie's abdication, Luan Yi's accession to the throne is imminent.
On the other hand, Luan Yi also has his own ideas. The Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth month of May has a long history, the original festival of the people to drive away the plague, and later the Chu doctor Qu Yuan chose to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river on this day, and people changed this day to commemorate him in order to commemorate him.
Luan Yi has always been dismissive of such an approach. This is not because he has a prejudice against Qu Yuan, on the contrary, he has a high respect for this writer in the true sense of the word in Chinese history from the bottom of his heart (before that, although China had exclusive literary works such as the Book of Songs, because none of these works were signed, and most of the works were jointly created by the staff of the princes in various places, not individual works, only Qu Yuan's "Lisao" is a collection of individual poems). Therefore, he is praised as the first literary writer in the history of Chinese civilization in the 21st century).
In order to express his respect for Qu Yuan, Luan Yi successfully positioned Qu Yuan as the originator of Han literature through hard work when he was still in Jianye, and personally rushed to the Miluo River to pay respects.
However, although he has great respect for Qu Yuan, it is limited to his literary attainments. Luan Yi will never recognize his status as a national hero.
The land of Shenzhou does not need heroes who have fallen to the country.
Therefore, he wanted to take the opportunity of ascending the throne on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival to set the Dragon Boat Festival as the National Day, and instead changed the date of commemoration of Qu Yuan to the eighth day of the seventh month - according to legend, that day was Qu Yuan's birthday.
Luan Yi was extremely busy on the eve of his accession to the throne, and he had a lot of important things to choose before he ascended to the Ninth Five-Year Plan.
For example, the name of the new dynasty.
In this regard, the ministers meant that, according to the custom, the emperors of all dynasties set their place of origin as the name of the country. For example, King Yingzheng of Qin, raised troops in Qin to unify Liuhe, and his dynasty was Great Qin. Another example is Liu Bang, Emperor of the Han Dynasty, although he was in Pei County, Xuzhou, but in the end, he made a fortune in Hanzhong, so his country name is Dahan.
According to this principle, Luan Yi raised troops in Jinan, which is now Qizhou, and Luan Yi served as the king of Qi before that, so his country name should be Daqi.
Luan Yi categorically rejected such a suggestion. He said: Although it is customary to establish Qi as the national name, but in the land of 'Qi', it seems petty to use Daqi as the national name, and it is really difficult to express the vast territory of the land of Shenzhou and the supreme majesty of the imperial court.
After hearing these words, the ministers understood that Luan Yi actually already had a favorite country name in his heart. Then he asked, "With Your Majesty's intentions, what should you call it?" ”
"Holy Chinese Empire." Needless to say, the 'sacred' of the future country will still be guided by the Church of the Virgin Mary. As for Huaxia...... "Left Biography? "Ten Years of Dinggong" said: "China has great etiquette, so it is called summer, and the beauty of uniforms is called Hua." "Shujing" said: "The crown dress is said to be Chinese, and the big country is called summer." "Shangshu Justice" note: "The crown is said to be Huazhang, and the great country is called Xia". Taken literally, the word "Hua" has the meaning of beauty, and the word "Xia" has the meaning of grandeur. It can indeed show the demeanor of a great power.
"What a Holy Chinese Empire." Xun Yu nodded again and again.
Guo Jiale blossomed, "That's it!" ”
After agreeing on the country name, the next step is the year name. In this regard, Luan Yi is not ready to bring forth the new, but to continue to use the Shengyuan era.
The civil and military officials and the people everywhere are accustomed to using the month cards and desk calendars of the Shengyuan era, so they naturally will not object. Anyway, although the Shengyuan era has been opened since the period of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, the real founder and founder is still Luan Yi. It doesn't hurt to keep using it.
In addition to the national name, Luan Yi also proposed that the sacred blood red cross flag be designated as the national flag, the red gold virgin nuwa elephant as the national emblem, "Sing a Heavenly Song" as the national anthem, and the new song "Loyal to the Country" composed by Luan Yi and composed by Cai Yan as the military song.
Regarding these problems, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military put on an indifferent appearance, and said: "Everything is up to Your Majesty." ”
Luan Yi saw that the officials were disdainful of the national flag, the national emblem, and the national anthem, and told them not to underestimate this small piece of cloth, a piece of emblem, and a song.
Since ancient times, Chinese civilization has advocated the family, the country, and the world, with the family character coming first, and the country coming second. This is so for a few reasons. That is, in the eyes of the people, the home is real, and the country is needed. Home is really in front of you, not a big yard, a few acres of thin fields not far from the courtyard, elderly parents, children waiting to be fed, and the mother-in-law of the hot kang head, under the joint combination of these elements, the word home is enriched, you can see it, you can touch it.
As opposed to home, the kingdom is illusory. For an ordinary person, he doesn't know how big the country is, or in his mind, the country is too big, the avenue is boundless, the avenue makes him feel small, and it is impossible to make any contribution to such a huge carrier with his meager strength, so he chooses to ignore the concept of "country" and puts his mind on running his own small family.
This kind of thinking is inevitable for everyone, but it is also what Luan Yi, as a ruler, does not want to see.
So, in order to reverse the people's fixed thinking, in order to make the people's hearts home? Country, become country - there is a country to have a home.
Luan Yi wants to enrich the concept of "country" in the hearts of the people by setting up the national flag, national emblem, national anthem, and military song. Let them know that the place where the national flag is planted at the head of the city and the melody of the national anthem is the territory of the Holy Chinese Empire, and let them know that the building with the national emblem is the official office of the Chinese Empire, where the troops of the Chinese Empire will defend their power and wealth to the death, and the majesty of the Chinese Empire is sacrosanct.
At the same time, Luan Yi also wanted to let the government offices and churches in various parts of China hang a large map of the "Holy Spirit Huaxia Empire" in a prominent position, so that the people would know that the boundary monuments of Huaxia were not at the ends of the earth, but within reach, and that even the slightest effort made by anyone would make a great contribution to the prosperity of China.
After saying this, Luan Yi clicked his chapped lips and took a sip of tea.
The civil and military forces under the high platform looked at him in a daze for a long time, knelt on the ground together, and shouted "Your Majesty is wise".
Next, Luan Yi discussed with the ministers the issue of the emperor, civil and military officials, and the self-proclaimed people of the people. Since the Qin Dynasty, people from all walks of life in various parts of China have called themselves colorful and complex, such as the emperor calling himself "I", the princes and kings calling themselves lonely and widowed, the subordinate calling the subordinate to the subordinate official, the superior official calling the subordinate the official his own official, the martial artist among the common people has many ways of saying "a certain family", and the scribe is more humble and called "in the lower". In addition, there are "our family", "not talented" and so on.
Such a large number of self-pronouns is not only confusing, but also reflects the differences in origin and rank of people, which is contrary to the notion of equality and friendliness of the Church of Mary. Therefore, Luan Yi decided to ban it, and since the opening of the Holy Chinese Empire, he has set an example, and in the future, whether the people are scholars, farmers, industrialists or merchants, they will all call themselves "I".
The hundred officials were puzzled and asked, "Why did Your Majesty choose the word 'I' and not others?" ”
Luan Yi smiled and said, "The word 'I' has a 'hand' on the left and a 'Ge' on the right." The literal meaning is that the left hand presses the right hand to the Ge, which not only indicates courtesy, but also reflects the meaning of salute first and then soldier. The reason why I chose this word as my self-proclaimed name is to remind the people of the world that the empire is built on swords, and it will need swords and guns to defend the land in the future, so while cultivating literature and building morality, we must not lose our wildness. ”
Zhong Wenwu nodded again and again. Xun Yu said: "I will prepare it tomorrow, and Your Majesty will be able to announce it to the world after seeing it." ”
