After the military parade, Nan Yi announced the succession of the Han Dynasty, named the country Han, and changed the year name to 401 AD, symbolizing the inheritance of the Han Dynasty in the east and west for 400 years. Canonized Nan Ye as the national teacher, prime minister, and free prince, abolished the prince and the state minister, established a parliament, implemented a constitutional monarchy, and declared that "the king is under the law". Later, Nan Yi appointed six ministers, generals at all levels, and specially appointed Liu Xun, the son of Liu Zhang, as Zongzheng to manage some royal affairs. Of course, these policies and appointments were all made by Nan Ye, and the road of reform that he had been planning was a big step forward today.

At the end of the founding ceremony, Nan Ye announced that it was the National Day, and the people could have a day off, and the link of amnesty was exempted. Nan Ye, who ruled the country by law, doesn't want the country to release all the prisoners first when there is a major event, then the world will not be in chaos.

The people can take a holiday, Nan Yi can also rest, and Nan Ye still has a lot to do. The first priority was to go to the Academy of Sciences to review the newly revised Dahan Times. This issue of the newspaper not only published the news of Liu Yi's succession to the throne and the founding of the country, but also introduced the latest calendar, weights and measures, laws and regulations, and so on. Because this edition of the newspaper was too important and there were too many pages, Nan Ye ordered craftsmen to start making engravings a few days ago, and they could be officially printed just by waiting for the content of today's founding ceremony to be completed.

One million copies of the inaugural issue of the Dahan Times were sold out on the same day. This was a big surprise to Nan Ye. Although there are more than 10 million people under his rule, and basic education has been popularized in Jiaozhou for many years, the literate people are still a minority after all. The purpose of Nanye's mass distribution is not to sell out in one day to make money, but to promote the national policy and let the people savor it and read it. I didn't expect the newspaper that was supposed to be sold out in a few days to be sold out on the same day.

Nan Ye knows that there is a saying among the people that "Nan Ye produces, it must be a high-quality product", the cards he printed in his early years, the mahjong he made, now have a high collection value, and even some speculative businessmen hoard Juqi for speculation, which is also the inevitable result of commercial development to a certain extent.

Nan Ye is most afraid that someone will hoard newspapers, so that the people have no newspapers to read, and that will not achieve the purpose of propaganda. So the intelligence department was ordered to investigate the sales and flow of the newspaper overnight. The results of the investigation surprised Nan Ye again, because no one hoarded Juqi and bought it in large quantities, and they were all bought by the people.

While looking at the investigation report, Nan Ye asked Diao Chan, who was in charge of intelligence, "The price of the newspaper is not cheap, and it is distributed in the states under my rule, could it be that the people in all the states and counties under my rule can afford and understand the newspaper like the people of Jiaozhou?" ”

Diao Chan smiled and explained: "Don't be surprised, husband, this newspaper is too important, and it is indispensable for Shinong to be sold out. ”

When Nan Ye saw Diao Chan, he felt pleasing to the eye, stared at Diao Chan and said strangely: "How did newspapers become a must-have?" ”

Diao Chan said: "If officials big and small want to know the national policy, they must have one for each person." Craftsmen and merchants need to measure and calculate, and naturally they also need a copy. Even if ordinary people are illiterate, they know the perpetual calendar that comes with the newspaper, so they naturally buy it one after another. ”

One of Nan Ye's earliest skills was to check calendars and dictionaries, which was equivalent to carrying a perpetual calendar and an ancient translation system with him. Knowing that the Gregorian calendar was more accurate than the lunar year, he introduced a new calendar and deliberately took up a page of the newspaper to print the calendar for the whole year. I didn't expect the people to use the newspaper as a yellow calendar, which really made Nan Ye a little crying and laughing. In any case, it was a good thing that the people were willing to buy newspapers, so Nan Ye ordered that they continue to print them.

Regarding the flow of newspapers, Diao Chan actually said a little less, that is, although the "Dahan Times" was only published under Nan Ye's rule, it was not only the people under Nan Ye's rule who bought the newspaper. The merchants and fine works under the rule of Sun, Cao, and Liu also had a soft spot for the newspapers issued by Nanye. Of course, Nan Ye is not afraid of them reading it, and some of the content in the newspaper is just for them to read.

The inaugural issue of "Dahan Times" was quickly placed on the desks of Liu Bei and Sun Quan. When they saw the news that Nan Ye supported Liu Yi as emperor, they were all stunned. They all thought that Nan Ye would proclaim himself emperor, but no one expected that Nan Ye would actually save Liu Xie's heir and make him emperor.

If Nan Ye is the emperor himself, Liu Bei and Sun Quan are not embarrassed, anyway, everyone knows in their hearts that now that the big fists in the world have the final say, it doesn't matter if it is orthodox or not, there is a reason to be the emperor. But Nan Ye supported Liu Yi, Liu Bei and Sun Quan couldn't hold it on their faces, compared with Liu Yi's orthodox status, the reason why the two of them were emperors was a little ridiculous.

There is also a special article in the "Han Times" to analyze who is orthodox among the three emperors, Liu Yi, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan. One of the comments on Liu Bei is: "...... There is a way that the father dies and the son succeeds, and the brother dies and the brother dies. The nephew and uncle ascended the throne, unheard of......" The comment on Sun Quan is: "...... The jade seal is a dead thing, how can we know the will of heaven and the hearts of the people? If the one who gets the seal can be the emperor, what about the one who steals the seal? Could it be that the people of the world want to respect thieves as emperors......"

After reading such a sharp comment, Liu Bei and Sun Quan were almost so angry that they vomited blood. Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu were even more depressed, they now hated Cao Pi to the core, because there was also a paragraph in the newspaper about how Yang Xiong fought with the thief and bravely rescued Liu Yi. Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu didn't hate the thief for not killing Liu Yi, but hated Cao Pi for hiding the news that Liu Yi was alive. If they had known that Liu Xie still had children alive, they would not be so anxious to make themselves emperors.

Cao Pi and Sima Yi also saw the "Han Times", and these two were even more depressed than Liu Bei, Sun Quan, Zhuge Liang, and Zhou Yu together. Cao Pi pointed to the part of the newspaper where Yang Xiong rescued Liu Yi and scolded: "What nonsense! It's nonsense! What wilderness killed more than 100 bandits? It's all made up casually! Liu Xie's family has arrived outside Yecheng! Liu Yi has long been dead! Zhongda, you quickly go to the order and tell the civil and military people that everything in this newspaper is false! ”

Sima Yi smiled bitterly at this time, Shanyang Gong Liu Xie's family was intercepted and killed by the bandits halfway was originally made up by Cao Pi, but he didn't expect Nan Ye to be even better at making up stories, and he actually made up a story about Yang Xiongyong fighting the bandits to save Liu Yi. Now anyone can say that this story is fake, only Cao Pi can't tell it, because once Cao Pi debunks Nan Ye's lies, his own lies will also be exposed.

Cao Pi and Sima Yi knew that the news in the newspaper was false, and they also knew that Liu Yi was not true, but they couldn't refute it. In fact, even if they really stood up and told the truth, not many people would believe it, because Nan Ye had already mastered the power of public opinion. There are Liu Zhang and Liu Xun, two relatives of the Han family, who testified that Liu Yi is not true and true.

Sima Yi also read the article in the newspaper analyzing which of the three emperors was orthodox, and from this article, he realized the true power of Nan Ye. In the article, Liu Bei and Sun Quan's claim to be emperor was certainly criticized for being useless, and even Liu Yi's claim to be emperor was questioned. The author of the article believes that the whole family of Liu Xie, the Duke of Shanyang, was killed, and no one can confirm the authenticity of Liu Yi's identity. Liu Yi may be true, or it may be a side branch of the royal family, but no matter how Nanye Guoshi supports the royal family, he does not claim the emperor himself or is dedicated to the public, Liu Yi is more orthodox than Liu Bei and Sun Quan regardless of whether it is true or not.

Sima Yi can be sure that with this kind of basis for speech, even if Liu Yi's identity is confirmed to be false in the future, no one will be able to attack Nan Ye with this. What makes Sima Yi feel incomprehensible is that Nan Ye has mastered public opinion so smartly, and there must be a way to build momentum to be the emperor by himself, why do he still prefer to find a puppet to put in front of the stage, and then legislate to restrict the imperial power, this is simply redundant.

If it is said that Nan Ye restricted the imperial power and expanded the power of the prime minister, it can also be explained that he was to be a bitch and set up an archway. However, according to the newspaper's explanation of official positions and policies, Nan Ye, the prime minister, also has many constraints and can't do whatever he wants, which is a bit strange.

It was not only Sima Yi who felt strange, but Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu also couldn't understand Nan Ye's intentions, and what made them even more incomprehensible was what Nan Ye would do next. In the past, there were still traces of Nan Ye's troops to fight, at least there must be a reason that was in line with the general righteousness, but now that the situation has become a confrontation between the three kingdoms, it is not uncommon for Nan Ye to send troops to fight anyone. As long as Nan Ye is willing, Liu Bei and Sun Quan can be labeled as puppet emperors.

Although Zhuge Liang never thought that Nan Ye would support Liu Yi as the emperor, he thought about how Liu Bei should deal with it once Nan Ye became emperor. At this time, although the situation has changed, but the two sides are not necessarily the end of the end, Zhuge Liang decided to act according to the original plan, and said to Liu Bei: "Your Majesty, Guanghua Guoshi supports Liu Yi to establish the founding of the country as the emperor, and we should give a gift to congratulate!" ”

Liu Bei frowned and said: "Mr. said before that if the national teacher is called the emperor, we will send an envoy to congratulate each other, and the two countries will make a good alliance to defeat Sun Quan and Cao Pi." But now that the national teacher is the emperor of Liu Yi to succeed the Han Dynasty, and the country name is the same as ours, how can there be two great Han people in this world? I'm afraid that the army of the national division will arrive soon, so we still don't have to send envoys, and we should prepare early. ”

How could Zhuge Liang not understand the worry in Liu Bei's heart. At the beginning, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei both thought that Nan Ye might be called the emperor, no matter what country Nan Ye called after he became the emperor, it must not be called Han, Wu, and Wei! In this way, Nan Ye, Liu Bei, Sun Quan, and Cao Pi became irrelevant four kingdoms. Liu Bei and Nan Ye can fully recognize each other's regimes, establish diplomatic relations, and transform solid alliances into state-to-state cooperation to continue to develop, just like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

But now Nanye has also established a Han state. It can be said that there are no two days in the sky, there are no two masters of the people, and the two Han kingdoms must have one truth and one falsehood, and they must always decide on orthodoxy, so that there are irreconcilable contradictions between the two families. It is a kind of irony that the contradictions between two countries with the same name are greater than those of different countries.

Zhuge Liang knew that Liu Bei couldn't fight against Nan Ye at this time, no matter how much he prepared, so he could only be a dead horse and a live horse doctor, and persuaded Liu Bei: "Your Majesty still sends an envoy to the top, so as to test the meaning of the national teacher." If it is irretrievable, it is not too late to go to war again. ”
