Lu Yuan is very busy these days.

At the beginning of the establishment of the state, all kinds of big and small things, such as the official system, the military system, the ritual system, the law, etc., all need to be re-sorted and determined.

And many of the above, even if they are all copied and borrowed from the current Yue Imperial Court, it is a trouble to sort them out.

Relying on Lu Yuan alone, it is impossible to figure out this.

I don't even have the energy to get it.

So that's where a helping hand comes in.

Sun Siwen has already come.

Since receiving his summons, three days ago, this friend, who was in charge of supervising the affairs of the three southern prefectures, rushed over in the starry night.

Not only him, but even Sun Siwen's father-in-law, Cui Changqing, the prefect of Shaoyang, was also summoned by Lu Yuan five days ago.

With the help of this pair of sons-in-law, Lu Yuan finally figured out some clues about the founding of the country.

On this day, after Sun Siwen and Cui Changqing sorted out some ideas, they came to meet Lu Yuan and report to work.

"According to the king's request, after I became a national law in Changsha, I did not change the law, but only took the original Yue law as the law, and after a slight amendment, it became the national law of Changsha. Therefore, this matter is not in a hurry for the time being, and after the founding of the country, the Criminal Department will slowly revise it. ”

Sun Siwen first picked the simplest and best problem to solve as the starting dish.

Then the conversation changed again and said: "However, at the beginning of the new country, in addition to the law, it is also necessary to determine the etiquette system, even if the king wants to copy the Yue ceremony, but he also has to confirm the five elements of his country, and then use this as the basis to revise and confirm the Changsha national ceremony."

Today, the country of Yue regards fire as its virtue, so it is still popular. The Zhou State takes wood as its virtue, so it is still green. Liang Guo takes gold as his virtue, so he is still white.

Each of the three countries has its own five elements, and then the etiquette system in the country is determined on the basis of the five elements.

Etiquette is the foundation of everything, and it is the most important thing.

The opening of a new country is rude and has no foundation, so the new dynasty is the first to open, and the etiquette should be determined. ”

In today's society, the cornerstone of the imperial court's rule over the local area is the patriarchal law of etiquette.

First of all, use etiquette to regulate what people should do and what they should not do. Then use patriarchal family affection to make people follow these rituals, so as to maintain the stability of the place.

Therefore, if the etiquette is not confirmed, the foundation of the dynasty will be unstable, and it will naturally be difficult for the society to last for a long time.

Lu Yuan naturally knew this truth.

The so-called etiquette is actually a famous instrument, the root of power, and the name of righteousness.

The power of the name can make people follow, and the name of righteousness can make people recognize.

Together, his new dynasty is stable.

And the role of etiquette is more than just that.

Lu Yuan practiced the immortal method, especially studied the Taiping Dao Book, and now he understands the world and understands it more and more.

In the dark, he can also sense some luck.

If you really practice this book and open up the foundation of the country, then choosing the right one of the five elements will be extremely beneficial to the practice of this book.

After all, this book cultivates the hearts of the people in the world, and what is cultivated is the luck of the dynasty.

The cultivation of this method is already affected by luck.

Therefore, whether it is for the stability of the dynasty or the cultivation of Taoism, it is extremely important to choose the right five elements.

Therefore, Lu Yuan thought for a while and asked, "According to the etiquette law, what kind of five elements should my Changsha Kingdom be?" ”

At this time, Cui Changqing next to him came out and said: "According to orthodox practice, after the fall of the previous dynasty, the new dynasty will be established, and the five elements of mutual restraint should be taken."

If the Yue country is the virtue of fire, and the water overcomes the fire, then the new dynasty should be the virtue of water.

However, now that the Yue Dynasty is still there, we are afraid that we will be jealous of the imperial court.

Moreover, we did not destroy the previous dynasty, but were canonized by the Yue Dynasty, and we did not meet the requirements of taking water. ”

Lu Yuan was silent when he heard this.

Yue Guo belongs to fire, if he takes water virtue, doesn't it show his heart to the world, and he doesn't deal with Yue Guo?

Now that he has finally reconciled with Yue Guo, and then he has to deal with the Zhou people together, it is indeed not the time to have a conflict with the other party again.

Thinking like this, he couldn't help but ask again: "Then in addition to the five elements, what other five elements are there?" ”

"If you don't take the five elements to restrain each other, then there is the same way to take the five elements."

Cui Changqing continued: "My Changsha Kingdom was established by the Yue Dynasty, so according to the convention, the same fire virtue as the Yue Dynasty can be taken to show the same origin.

If this is the case, then my Changsha country should be Huode.

It is the easiest to build a country with fire and virtue.

I Changsha national ritual system, there is no need to change greatly, just directly use the Yue Dynasty ritual system.

It's just that it is the same fire virtue as the Yue Dynasty, so after the founding of the country, it will not be affected by it. The two countries have the same etiquette system and similar customs.

Moreover, the Yue Dynasty is now in decline, and if it takes the same virtue, it may affect the luck of the new dynasty.

Therefore, whether to take the virtue of the five elements with this, please consider it solemnly. ”

The so-called etiquette system can be regarded as a political system and a cultural concept.

If Lu Yuan chooses the same political system and cultural concept as Yue Guo, he will fully accept the other party's set of logical thinking.

Then, when the Vietnamese country comes to fight in the future, we can start from this aspect and carry out counter-instigation and division.

In terms of image, that is, within the summer, in the name of the righteousness of the Son of Heaven, came to conquest.

Then Changsha, which is also a Zhuxia system and has accepted the same ritual system, will naturally be at a disadvantage in the name of righteousness.

Therefore, the ritual system and the ritual system are used to distinguish two different systems, so as to distinguish two different groups of people and different cultures.

In this way, even if Yue Guo came to fight Lu Yuan and wanted to use his title as the Son of Heaven, not many people in Changsha would recognize it, this is the importance of etiquette.

This is also why Cui Changqing said that he belongs to the same fire virtue as the Yue country, and although the use of the Yue national ritual system is simple, it has endless troubles.

As for the luck in the back, it was just a tactful persuasion.

However, compared to his previous worries, Lu Yuan valued the luck he said more.

Because of the fall of the Yue Kingdom, it has actually entered the countdown.

The great general of the current dynasty may replace the Xiao family and ascend the throne as emperor in two or three years.

At that time, the fire virtue of the Yue Kingdom will decline, and the new dynasty will most likely take water virtue, and the etiquette system will also change, and then Lu Yuan's Changsha Kingdom and the new dynasty will also cut off contact, and the other party's righteous name of the Son of Heaven will naturally not affect him.

On the contrary, it is the fall of the Yue Guo Huo De, whether it will implicate himself who inherited the Yue Guo Huo De, which makes Lu Yuan even more worried.

'Under the so-called nest, there are no eggs. I am a Taiping Taoist book, and I cultivate people's hearts and luck.

If I take fire virtue, then it is equivalent to a branch in the trunk of the big tree.

Dayue, the supernatural tree, has fallen, how good can I be as a branch?

Don't have a backlash of luck and a great retreat in your skills, then you will really die unjustly. ’

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan made a decision in his heart, looked at Cui Changqing and said: "The Yue Room is declining, the fire virtue is gradually extinguished, and this is bound to die." I have no intention of taking this virtue, but are there other ways to take the five elements? ”

Cui Changqing nodded and said, "There are two other ways to take it." One is based on the position prescribed by the country as the basis for taking the virtue of the five elements.

According to the principle of the five elements, the five elements in the east and southeast belong to wood; The five elements in the north belong to water; The five elements of the south belong to fire; The five elements in the northeast and southwest belong to the soil; The five elements in the west and northwest belong to gold.

The three emperors of antiquity divided Kyushu into ten regions.

Those of the Ten Domains will turn into barbarians, and they will not talk about it.

Those in Kyushu are Xu, Qing, Hebei, Yan, Henan, Yang, Yong, Liang, and Jing.

This Kyushu, in addition to the southwest Zhuyi, the nine counties of Dayue, have occupied most of Yangzhou. The ten counties of Liangguo in the north occupy most of Qingzhou. The seven counties of Zhou State occupy more than half of Yongzhou.

In terms of the location of Yangzhou, my Dongting County belongs to the south, which is Huode.

In terms of the location of Kyushu, Yangzhou belongs to the southeast, which is Mude.

Therefore, if the king determines the five elements according to the direction, there is fire virtue and wood virtue to choose.

In addition to the direction, there is another choice, that is, the king himself determines the five elements.

At the beginning of the king's army, if there was a vision of heaven and earth, he could determine the five elements according to the vision. The king himself was favored by the gods, and he could determine the five elements according to the gods. What kind of king's birthday belongs to, you can also determine the five elements. Even what the king's ambition is, the five elements can be determined.

If the king belongs to any of the above, he can decide for himself.

However, this kind of selection of the five elements is too simple, and there is no traditional theorem, so it is difficult to convince the hearts of the people in the world to determine the five elements. ”

Cui Changqing said the four bases for determining the five elements that are generally popular in the world today, and gave his own opinions.

After hearing this, Lu Yuan frowned and pondered.

The previous five elements are the same, and the five elements are the same, which has been rejected.

The remaining five element orientations, the five element phases, became the final choice.

However, in terms of the direction of the five elements, based on Yangzhou, it is still Huode, which still can't get rid of the influence of Yueguo. But if you look at the direction of Kyushu, this is Mude.

But Zhou is Mude, it is a big country, and it is close to me.

If I take Mude and fight with the Zhou State on another day, I am afraid that luck will be controlled by it again.

And not to mention these ethereal theories of luck and luck, let's just say that Mude, my whole body, even my life experience, has nothing to do with Mude.

Taking this as the virtue of the five elements, except for taking a direction, it really has nothing to do with it.

Taking Mude as the five elements has too little to do with me, and it is not of much help to my practice of Taiping Taoism.

So in the end, the only choice left is to choose a deeply related five elements from me as the founding virtue......

When Lu Yuan thought of this, he couldn't help but start thinking about it, which five elements did he have the closest to?

And thinking about it like this, he couldn't help but find that the virtue of the five elements that was most involved with him was still the virtue of fire.

The reason is very simple, he cultivates the Chiyang Divine Skill, and the condensed martial arts outer body is the fire of the Red Sun.

Lu Yuan's achievements today are nothing more than innate strength, as well as the soldiers and horses under his command.

Those soldiers and horses were recruited by him in the name of the imperial court. It stands to reason that it is also stained with the light of the imperial court's fire and virtue.

And his Chiyang Divine Skill, not to mention, proper fire virtue.

Therefore, from this point of view, whether it is inheriting the previous dynasty, or the local position, or his own achievements, Huo De is the most suitable for Lu Yuan.

But limited to the above reasons, Huo De he can't choose.

'Martial Arts Exercises, Martial Arts Exercises......

Lu Yuan frowned, thinking about the relationship between his exercises and the Five Elements, and suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred: "That's right. If I really determine the five elements according to the exercises, now that my martial arts are innate, I am almost at the end of my cultivation in this way.

Even if I choose the fire virtue that is in harmony with the Red Sun Divine Skill, it will not help me much.

After all, I want to practice the immortal method in the future.

Therefore, even if you want to choose the five elements with exercises, you have to choose the immortal path exercises, not the martial arts exercises.

The Five Thunder Books I am cultivating now have all five elements, and none of them stand out alone.

But now it is being prepared, and the Taiping Dao Book is being prepared for cultivation, but this has five elements.

Moreover, the reason why I am so worried about the Five Elements of Qi Luck is that I am worried about the cultivation of the Taiping Daoshu, for fear that it will affect my future cultivation.

Since this is the case, it would be nice to simply choose the five elements with the same attribute as the Taiping Taoist Book. ’

The more Lu Yuan thought about it, the more excited he became in his heart, and he only felt that the whole person suddenly brightened.

Yes, the Taiping Taoist Book has five element attributes.

Taiping Daoshu, also known as Huangtian Daoshu, Huangtian's Law, this is a local practice method.

After practicing this book, after the completion of the book, the Taiping Yellow Sky can be condensed as a method to achieve real people.

The above content is some description of the subsequent realm of this book in the Taiping Taoist book.

Of course, it's just a description.

When Danding Dao got the Taiping Dao book, this immortal law excavated from the ancient Taiping Sect ruins was already incomplete.

Now many of the contents of the Taiping Dao Book in Lu Yuan's hands are still the result of deduction and repair of the Danding Dao in the past dynasties, and it has only now been perfected to the cultivation realm of the Five Qi Dynasty.

As for the Three Flowers Gathering on the Five Qi Dynasty and the Law of Achieving Real People, there are only some descriptions of the incomplete Taoist books.

After all, the Dao masters of the Danding Dao in the past dynasties, except for the first two or three when the sect was first opened, have cultivated into real people. The Dao Masters of the later dynasties were only in the great realm of the Five Qi Dynasty.

They haven't reached that realm themselves, how can they deduce and mend the exercises of the realm of real people.

However, even if there is no follow-up exercises, the current Taiping Dao Book is almost enough for Lu Yuan.

And let's be realistic.

If he could really complete the Taiping Dao Book, then with the realm of the Five Qi Dynasty Yuan Consummation, it would be enough to suppress the Kyushu Ten Domains, which had now declined to a decent level.

It is enough to even achieve the three qi small consummation without using the five qi dynasty yuan.

With this exercise, as the virtue of the five elements of the dynasty established by Lu Yuan in the future, it is more than enough to suppress the luck of a country.

And in addition to the exercises, the birth date of my body also belongs to the land of the five elements, which is more in line with it. ’

Lu Yuan thought of this, and he had already made a decision in his heart.

Nothing else, it's Tude.

When this thought was born, he looked at Cui Changqing and Sun Siwen in front of him and said: "I have been a hunter in the mountains since I was a child, and I was fortunate to get a treasure of immortals in the mountains, so as to open the spiritual aura, study and practice martial arts, and finally have today's achievements."

When he first got the treasure of the immortals, in the Taoist book left by the immortals, he called himself Huangtian Daoren.

The yellow one, the earth also.

It just so happened that my birthday was also a local line.

Isn't this providential?

Therefore, the king decided that the five elements of the new kingdom would be based on virtue and would not be discussed. ”

Lu Yuan retouched the remarks he had said about meeting immortals in the mountains again, changed his face, and told the two important ministers in front of him.

Define the virtue of the soil with the five elements?

When Cui Changqing and Sun Siwen heard Lu Yuan's words, they subconsciously frowned.

For his own king to choose the most inferior of the four methods to determine the five elements, I can't help but feel a little worried.

And the Yellow Sky Immortals?

For this immortal who had never heard of or heard what their own king said, the two of them didn't believe it at all.

I just thought that Lu Yuan's brain was hot, so he wanted to set the five elements with his birthday.

"The king, what the Huang Tianxian said, the ministers have never heard of it. And the five elements are determined by the birthday, although the king should respond to the mandate of heaven and the hearts of the people, but ......" Cui Changqing wanted to persuade, but halfway through speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Yuan.

"I've said it, and I'm not going to discuss it anymore."

Lu Yuan looked at his two important ministers, and had to say again: "And I founded the country with Tude." In the future, when the country of Yue is destroyed and a new dynasty is opened, it must be water virtue.

And Tuk water.

I founded the country with Tude, just to restrain the new dynasty that inherited the Yue Kingdom, which is a matter of the great benefit of the country.

I have made up my mind, and you don't need to persuade me anymore. ”

Cui Changqing opened his mouth, never expecting that there would be such a solution to take Tude.

Although this is sophistry, I have to say that it really sounds reasonable.

So after thinking about it, he didn't want to continue to entangle with Lu Yuan in this matter.

Set the five elements according to the birthday of the king, and set the five elements.

After all, the country of Changsha was opened by the king, and it is barely reasonable to determine the virtue of his birth.

At most, in the future, I will publicize the Huang Tianxian people more and make this immortal known to the world, so that it can also give the king an extra layer of law.

So Cui Changqing finally said: "Respect the king's order." ”

Seeing this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile and said, "That's right." Cui Qing, Sun Qing, you are my confidants, and you will also be the new country in the future, don't you know my character?

Today, since I choose Tude, it naturally has its own reasons.

This is not a hasty choice made in the heat of the head.

Changsha is the country I founded, don't I want the country to last for ten thousand years? You can rest assured when you wait. ”

Regarding the matter of the Taiping Daoshu, Lu Yuan must not say anything to outsiders.

Even the name of Huang Tianxian is only used by outsiders in the lake, especially in the lake Danding Dao.

But there is naturally no need to talk to these two civil officials about these things.

And Cui Changqing and Sun Siwen listened to Lu Yuan's words, and when they thought about their king's character, they couldn't help but nodded.

Indeed, with the steady nature of his own king, he will never do anything harmful to himself.

Today's choice of Tude must have its intentions, but it can't talk to the two of them.

Although it is helpless to think about it this way, it also reassures them.

"Since the king is thoughtful, the ministers are relieved."

Sun Siwen saluted Lu Yuan, and then talked about the next topic: "Since the law and etiquette system have been decided, the next thing is the military system and the official system. The king of the military system is in charge, and the ministers are not good at talking nonsense.

However, the official system, such as today's countries, is mostly dominated by three provinces, six departments, nine temples and five prisons, and these 23 departments, if they need to be complete, at least more than 500 people.

Nowadays, China only governs one county, and the nine temples and five prisons can be saved and merged, and the three provinces and six departments can also be streamlined.

However, no matter how much the province is merged and streamlined, and the framework of the new country is to be erected, more than 300 officials are indispensable.

Counting the shortage of personnel in local governments and counties, there is now a shortage of more than 1,700 officials in Changsha and China.

Therefore, the ministers asked that after the founding of the country, the king opened the imperial examination and selected the world's corporals to meet the needs of our officials. ”

Sun Siwen pleaded.
