Chapter 40 The founding of the Ming Dynasty and the establishment of the Yuan Hongwu
In the twenty-seventh year of Zheng, the first year of Western Wu, December.
The Great Hall of King Wu.
Zhu Yuanzhang, the king of Wu, sat on the top seat, and the ministers bowed down.
Li Shanchang of the left Xiangguo (the Yuan Dynasty respected the right, at this time Zhu Yuanzhang had ordered the ancient system to be respected, and the left was respected, and Li Shanchang was changed from the right Xiangguo to the left Xiangguo. It was the first, the ministers behind him were arranged, all kneeling on the ground, Li Shanchang respectfully presented a book table (that is, the persuasion table), and Wang Guangyang behind him held a bright yellow dragon robe in his hand, and Liu Ji held a jade seal in his hand.
"Your Royal Highness, you are brave and wise, smart and clever, raised troops to sweep Liuhe, saved the people of Li from fire and water, led the ship to the west, and the fake imperial army was destroyed and the country fell; Order the general to go east, and the pseudo-royal city will be broken and bound, this is the situation that the world will return to you! Minister Li Shanchang and others conform to the will of the people, and the above table respectfully asks you to respect as soon as possible, so as to calm the hearts of the people and open peace for all generations. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be shocked when he heard this, he got up from his seat, took two steps, and said with a very uncomfortable expression:
"I was on the throne before, but I had to do it as a last resort, and you forced me. Now you have elected me as the emperor again, but this is absolutely impossible, and my virtue is shallow to take on this great responsibility. ”
The ministers kowtowed in unison, and under the leadership of Li Shanchang, they said again:
"The saints who came down from heaven were for the people. Your Highness, you have been on the throne for three or four years, and it is a sign of the destiny of heaven. In the past, Emperor Han Gao was punished, and he accepted the persuasion of his ministers; Today, Your Highness, you are in addition to riots, saving lives, and giving to the world, the heart of heaven has belonged, and you must not disobey it. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang still shook his head and refused, putting on a look of "This throne is poisonous, don't harm me".
The ministers were not discouraged, and carried out a third persuasion.
This time, Zhu Yuanzhang finally relented:
"Now that the world has not yet been settled, the military revolution has not ended, I originally wanted to wait until the world has been decided before agreeing on the throne, but you are forced to force each other, I can only obey you, but everything must be in accordance with etiquette, and must not be rash."
Zhu Yuanzhang, the king of Wu, officially accepted the throne from then on.
-----------------
In the imperial study of King Wu, several important ministers of the Western Wu regime sat upright.
They were discussing the name of the new dynasty.
There have been many options before.
For example, Wang Guangyang suggested that "Wu" should be used as the country name, but Zhu Yuanzhang disdained to compare it with the secession regime of Sun Wu of the Three Kingdoms; Liu Ji also proposed that King Wu originated in Anhui and could use "Anhui" as the national name, but was also rejected by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Everyone was speechless for a while, so they could only take out the ancient books and rummage through them, while racking their brains to think of the beautiful and meaningful country name.
"Knock knock." At this moment, the wooden door rang twice, and a palace man bent in and whispered something in King Wu's ear.
Zhu Yuanzhang's serious face suddenly showed a smile and said:
"Xuan!"
Under the gaze of the ministers, Yan Ling, who was in a plain robe, approached quickly.
Strangely, the appearance of a commoner in the palace of King Wu did not surprise anyone, and it seemed that all this was logical.
"Yan Ling, the grass people, knock on His Royal Highness King Wu." Yan Ling knelt down and saluted dignifiedly.
"Flat. Rui Xuan, I called you here today to discuss the matter of the country's name. What do you think? After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Li Shanchang had already taken over the conversation and told him about the discussion of the important ministers just now, so as to prevent him from saying the names of the countries that had been vetoed.
The answer is readily available for the traverser.
However, if he blurted out, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely not refuse his proposal, after all, this was originally the name of the country that people wanted, but how did the ministers before them deal with themselves? Your casual words were accepted, and they were rejected after thinking hard, can't they compare to your Yan Ruixuan's talent?
So he first pretended to think for a while, then picked up the basic ancient books and flipped through them, and then Shi Shiran spoke:
"Your Royal Highness, the sun and the moon travel in the sky, eternal unchanged, the dynasty is still prosperous for thousands of years, so it takes "Daming" as the country name, "Ming" fire virtue, and "Yuan" Jinde, how? ”
The dynasty has always had the saying that the five elements are mutually reinforcing, such as Zhou Naihuode, Qin Naishui De, water overcomes fire, and Qin Sui Dynasty Zhou; Song is Mude, and Yuan is Jinde for Song.
The Ming Dynasty, with its fire virtue, replaced the Yuan Dynasty.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he clapped his hands and exclaimed:
"It's a good sun and moon, eternal and unchanging! Good, good! The lonely dynasty will be passed down for thousands of generations! Rui Xuan, there is such a coincidence in the world, just in the heart of Lonely, I am also thinking about the word "Ming", this is the will of God! In this way, it takes "Daming" as the country name! ”
"As for the year name, Baimu (Li Shanchang)'s suggestion is quite in line with Lone's heart, so he will use 'Hongwu' as the name!"
-----------------
On the fourth day of the first month of the second year of Wu, Zhu Yuanzhang, the king of Wu, told the heaven and earth to be sacrificed in the sun of Zhongshan, that is, the emperor is located in the southern suburbs, and there must be the name of the world called "Daming", and the year is the first year of Hongwu, and the concubine Ma is the queen, and the prince is marked as the crown prince, and all the ministers are knighted.
At this time, Yan Ling, who was a white man, was also standing among a group of heroes and nobles, and he was about to usher in the most highlight moment of his life.
Standing on the altar, Emperor Hongwu opened the yellow silk in his hand and loudly announced the rewards for the soldiers who had followed him for many years.
The first one is him.
"The former Pingzhang political affairs are strict, breaking quarrying, attacking Jiqing, fighting Poyang, saving the emperor and respecting the driver, running the place, hard work and high merit, although there are great faults, but can not hide the great merits of his merits, Feng Yinqing Ronglu Doctor, Shangzhu Guo, Zhongshu Pingzhang, record the important affairs of the military state, for the Duke of Zhaoguo!"
"Minister, thank God!"
At the moment when Yan Ling knelt down and saluted, in his mind, the long-lost game panel heard a voice again.
[I testify! 】
[Founding of the Ming Dynasty, Jianyuan Hongwu! ] The sun of Zhongshan, a new dynasty stands! I witness Emperor Hongwu's ascension to the throne, and I am Yan Ling, the Duke of Zhaoguo! 】
[Reward: Character Experience Card: [Dugan]]
Yan Ling glanced at it and was immediately ecstatic!
This character experience card is simply timely rain, which makes the biggest difficulty of his future plan self-defeating!
The official establishment of the Ming Dynasty also symbolizes the real beginning of his family game......
At this time, a scorching sun hung high in the sky, bringing infinite light, enveloping this land of China that has a history of thousands of years......
A new dynasty was born.
-----------------
PS: The full names of the last three dynasties of China are actually "Great Yuan", "Great Ming", and "Great Qing", not the previous "Tang" and "Song". Because when the Mongols took the name of the country, they did not know the customs of the Central Plains, so they took a nondescript "Dayuan", and the two later dynasties did the same......
"The name of the founding of the country is called Dayuan, and the meaning of the "Qianyuan" of the Book of Changes is covered." ——"Yuan History: The Edict of the Founding of the People's Republic of China"
