The next day, Wu Haoxuan threw himself into intense work again. Early in the morning, Yang Du came to discuss with him the composition of the cabinet. After all, after the cabinet is formed, the officials of each ministry need to be determined.

"Young Marshal, is our cabinet called the Prime Minister's Cabinet of Responsibility or the Prime Minister's Cabinet of Responsibility?" Prime Minister Yang Du asked. Although, the prime minister and the prime minister both mean the same thing, but the title is different.

"Just call the prime minister, it sounds a little more pleasant. The first prime minister of the cabinet was none other than Brother Huizi. Wu Haoxuan said.

"This is all the young marshal's love! If it weren't for the young marshal asking me to leave Beiyang and join the northern government, Yang Du would not have such a day. Yang Du said with a smile. Looking back now, how wise his choice was! At that time, the government of the north was nothing more than a local warlord government. And Beiyang is the ruler of China. However, Yang Du gave up his good future in Beiyang and joined the northern government. At that time, many people thought that Yang Du was crazy. However, the facts now undoubtedly slapped them hard.

"What about the rest of the Cabinet? What does it mean to be handsome? Yang Du asked.

"It's up to us to decide what we mean. When you take the position of Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior, it has been said that Duan Qirui will come to take the position. In addition, we do not have special diplomatic talents, and Tang Shaoyi has already agreed to continue to serve as foreign minister. The governors of the south, we also promised at the beginning, that those who let them enter the cabinet must not break their promises. Wu Haoxuan said.

Yang Du nodded, in order to be able to achieve peaceful reunification, the northern government does need to make some concessions in this regard. Fortunately, now the country has been initially unified. Next, it's time to develop as one.

"That's it, young marshal. Cen Chunxuan, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, could serve as the Minister of Industry. Zhang Renjun, the governor of Liangguang, could be appointed Minister of Agriculture. Ding Zhenduo, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, can be the minister of commerce. Zhang Renjun and Ding Zhenduo are both young, and they can't be officials for a few years. Yang Du said.

"Well, let's arrange it like this. In addition, Sun Dacang of the League made him the Minister of Health, responsible for the construction of medical and health undertakings in the country. Wu Haoxuan continued.

Yang Du understands this. This was a means by which the northern government divided and dismantled the League. After all, if the Allies were to continue to oppose the government in the North, it would make them miserable. It is already very good to use the position of health secretary to solve this problem.

After Wu Haoxuan and Yang Du discussed, the cabinet list was officially taken out. Yang Du became Prime Minister, Duan Qirui became Minister of Home Affairs, Tang Shaoyi became Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of Finance continued to be Liu Kuiyi, and Sheng Xuanhuai, former Minister of Finance of Beiyang, became Vice Minister of Finance. The Minister of Industry was appointed by Cen Chunxuan, Xia Shoutian, former director of the Industrial Department of the Political Affairs Committee of the Northern Government, was appointed Vice Minister of Industry, the Minister of Agriculture was appointed by Zhang Renjun, the Minister of Civil Affairs was appointed by Yuan Jinkai, the former Director of the Department of Civil Affairs Yuan Jinkai, the Minister of Education was still served by Zheng Yinglan, the Minister of Health was appointed by Sun Dacang, and the Minister of Commerce was appointed by Ding Zhenduo. As for Xu Lanzhou, the director of the original police department. He was appointed Undersecretary of Home Affairs and Chief of Police. The Minister of Transport is Zhan Tianyou.

In addition, Wu Haoxuan also plans to establish a War Department and a Navy Department in the cabinet. In this case, a Cabinet Standing Council consisting of the Prime Minister, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of Finance, the Minister of War and the Minister of the Navy will be established, and the ordinary matters will be decided by them in deliberation. It's just that the Northern Army is still in the middle of the war, and at this time it is being reformed. Some don't fit. What's more, the navy of the Northern Army is still abroad and has not yet returned. The Navy is completely equal to a blank slate. Therefore, these two departments can only be established later.

Wu Haoxuan handed over the quota to Wu Xingquan and asked him to look at it and give his opinions. Though. He knew that Wu Xingquan would not have an opinion, but the necessary etiquette still had to be observed. After all, although Wu Haoxuan controls the military and political power in the country. But Wu Xingquan was, after all, the future emperor, the nominal supreme ruler. In fact, although Wu Xingquan has no opinion on the list of cabinet members, Wu Haoxuan's actions still make him very satisfied. This represents Wu Haoxuan's respect for him as a father.

After the cabinet list was released, Wu Haoxuan announced the cabinet composition list in the afternoon of the same day. These cabinet ministers will be directly accountable to the Prime Minister. The prime minister, on the other hand, is accountable to the emperor. Of course, in fact, Yang Du is responsible to Wu Haoxuan.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all pillars of the past. Our country is about to be built. This represents a great start. But I hope you don't get complacent. Although we are close to unifying the country. But what we've inherited is just a mess. How to build this country from a poor and backward agricultural country into a strong and prosperous industrial country will require your efforts. Wu Haoxuan said solemnly to everyone at the inaugural meeting of the cabinet.

The new ministers were a little excited, but at the same time, they also felt a great responsibility on their shoulders.

Next, the group discussed the future name of the country and when the enthronement ceremony will be held. Everyone expressed their opinions and finally summed it up.

Regarding the country name, Wu Haoxuan directly decided to use the word 'China'. The country in the future was called the Chinese Empire. As for the enthronement ceremony, it was finally decided to take place half a month later, although it was a bit rushed, but the country was in a critical situation, and it is understandable to be brief.

In addition, Wu Haoxuan proposed a new initiative at the cabinet meeting, and in the future empire, in addition to using the Western calendar, more should use the Yellow Emperor calendar. The reason why the Western calendar is now used all over the world is entirely because the West leads the whole world, and other countries have to copy it. However, China is an ancient country with a history of 5,000 years of civilization, and it must adhere to its own traditions.

Although, everyone is a little strange why Wu Haoxuan insists on this article. However, no one would touch Wu Haoxuan's brows at this time. Although it is Wu Xingquan who is about to ascend the throne and become emperor, it is estimated that Wu Haoxuan, the crown prince, will not be able to escape. What's more, both military power and administrative power are under Wu Haoxuan's control, who will oppose him?

(Well, to explain, the reason why the Yellow Emperor Era was adopted was entirely to avoid the river crab god.) Now the river crab god is rampant, and if you don't pay attention, you will be hit. In addition, books that have always been alternate history will become the object of attention once they appear in 19 or 19 years. In order to avoid this, Xiaoyu can only make this decision, I hope that book friends can understand. ）

The Yellow Emperor Calendar is a Han calendar in the pre-Qin period. Together with the "Summer Calendar", "Yin Calendar", "Zhou Calendar", "Lu Calendar" and "Zhuan Calendar", it is called the ancient six calendars. The Yellow Emperor Calendar is the earliest calendar in China, and legend has it that it was made by the Yellow Emperor.

In the 29th year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1903), Liu Shipei published the "Yellow Emperor Chronicles" in the "National Daily", opposing the era name system, and also opposing the Confucius chronology advocated by Kang Youwei and other reformers. Liu Shipei advocated that the year of the birth of the Yellow Emperor should be the first year of the era, and the twenty-ninth year of Guangxu was the 4614th year of the Yellow Emperor. However, there is no clear record of the birth and death of the Yellow Emperor in the literature, and the Song Dynasty advocated that the year of Guihai, which is considered to be the accession of the Yellow Emperor, should be the first year of the era, and the year 1904 should be regarded as the year 4602 of the Yellow Emperor. The magazines of the revolutionary faction, headed by the organ newspaper of the League, "Minbao", adopted the era of the Yellow Emperor.

"That's right, using the era of the Yellow Emperor can better show the cultural heritage of our Chinese nation." Health Minister Sun Dacang was the first to express his support. In fact, this is what the League advocates.

Other ministers chimed in.

"It's 1909, and if you convert it to the Yellow Emperor era, it's 4607. In the future, it will be calculated according to this. Wu Haoxuan nodded with satisfaction.

The conversion between the Western Yuan calendar and the Yellow Emperor era is actually to add 2698 years to the Western Yuan calendar. For example, 1908 plus 2698 is 4606, which is the year 4606 of the Yellow Emperor era.

On March 18, 4607 (09) of the Yellow Emperor Era (in order to facilitate the reading of book lovers, Xiaoyu will add a parenthesis after the Yellow Emperor Era, marking the corresponding Western Yuan calendar, asking book friends to include more), the nominal ruler of the northern government, Wu Xingquan, was in the Temple of Heaven to worship the sky and ascend the throne as emperor. Senior military and political officials of the Northern Army in Beijing all attended the ceremony. In addition, envoys from various countries in China also attended the ceremony. This represents the second change of throne in this ancient country after a lapse of more than four months.

It's just that this time it was the powerful Northern Army that replaced the Beiyang Army and gained the right to rule the country. Now it seems that the Northern Army is still very strong, and it will take a long time to wait for them to decline or perish.

The ceremony of sacrificing to the sky was very grand, and Wu Xingquan was wearing a dragon robe. Wu Haoxuan and the others followed behind them. After respectfully kowtowing to the heavens, the ceremony ended, representing Wu Xingquan officially becoming the new emperor of this ancient country.

After Wu Xingquan ascended the throne, he immediately announced that Wu Haoxuan would be appointed as the crown prince, and Wu Haoxuan would be in charge of the country when Wu Xingquan was inconvenient to handle government affairs. Wu Xingquan was originally a person without great ambitions, and indulging in pleasure was what he longed for. It is undoubtedly the best to be able to be the emperor while handing over government affairs to his son.

After that, the cabinet list was announced. Yang Du became the first prime minister of the cabinet, and the ministers who made up the cabinet also appeared in public for the first time. A new imperial government, this time formed.

After the enthronement ceremony, Yanjing City held a grand carnival to celebrate the establishment of the empire. (To be continued......)
