Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2223 The country name is Qin, and the capital is Luoyang

Chapter 2219: The name of the country is Qin, and the capital is Luoyang

Proclaiming the emperor is actually a very troublesome matter. Qin Hao didn't just announce that he was the emperor in public, and it was over. After that, there were still many processes to go through.

For example: Dingguohao, Dingguodu, Dingnianhao, promulgating a proclamation to announce to the world, choosing a good day to hold a grand enthronement ceremony, and offering sacrifices to heaven and ancestors, gods and sages.

In addition, envoys should be sent to the surrounding countries to deliver greeting cards, and envoys from all countries are invited to come to Luoyang to observe the ceremony.

Qin Hao's enthronement ceremony must be a grand event, which is related to the trend of the whole world. Naturally, Qin cannot be the only country to participate. If no other countries come to watch the ceremony, it is not the self-indulgence of Qin and the whole country.

In addition to the above points, Qin Hao's proclaiming emperor has another step compared to other people, which is to change his surname.

The identity of the first queen's descendants has been confirmed, but Qin Hao still bears the surname of "Qin", so he must change his surname back before proclaiming himself emperor. At that time, the new Qin State will be the real Qin State.

The road has to be walked step by step, and the meal has to be eaten bite by bite.

There is no dispute between the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty about which character to choose as the country name.

As a descendant of the Ying family, Qin Hao is a direct descendant of the First Emperor, and his title is the King of Qin. It is impossible to use other country titles other than 'Qin'.

Regarding the capital of Dingguo, the ministers had little disagreement. They only chose Luoyang and Chang'an, and no one mentioned big cities like Yecheng, Jinyang, Xiangyang, and Yanjing.

The Qin and Jin officials, headed by Qin Jian, believed that since the restoration is to be complete, the country with Qin as the title must be in Chang'an.

Although the Qin army has not taken Guanzhong yet, and Chang'an is not in the hands of the Qin army, the Qin army has already started war against Tang, and it is only a matter of time before they take Guanzhong.

After taking Guanzhong and Chang'an, Chang'an was renamed Xianyang, and the original Xianyang County was directly merged into Chang'an.

The views of Qin Jian and others were supported by many people, and Qin Hao agreed with the statement that the restoration is complete, but in the end he still rejected Qin Jian's proposal and adopted Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen's proposal of making Luoyang the capital.

Qin Hao chose Luoyang instead of Chang'an because of his own considerations:
First of all, seizing Guanzhong is definitely not something that can be done in a short period of time, but the enthronement ceremony is imminent, and it is impossible for Qin Hao to wait a year to become emperor;

Secondly, even if Guanzhong is successfully captured, Liangzhou, Hanzhong, Longxi and other places are still in the hands of the enemy. If these enemies are not captured, Guanzhong will not be stable, and the most important thing in Dingguodu is stability.

The last point is also the most important point, Qin Hao doesn't want to be like the pre-Qin and Qin Shihuang in everything.

Although Qin Hao borrowed the name of the descendants of the Ying family to restore, what he wanted to establish was his own Great Qin, not Qin Shihuang's Great Qin.

If the capital of the country is set in Chang'an and then renamed Xianyang, there will be too many overlaps between the two Qins, and it will definitely be compared by future generations.

Even if Qin Hao's Great Qin merits far surpassed that of Pre-Qin, but Pre-Qin was an ancestor after all, with this status, Qin Hao's Great Qin was innately inferior to Qin Shihuang's Great Qin.

Qin Hao does not want future generations to put himself behind Qin Shihuang when they mention him, so he will not follow the same path as Qin Shihuang, and it is absolutely impossible to set his capital in Chang'an.

In fact, Qin Hao wanted to set his capital in Yanjing, where the emperor guarded the gate and the king died in the country. However, the background of Youzhou in this era is too poor. Yanjing can become the capital of a princely state, but it cannot bear the important task of being the capital of a dynasty.

As for Luoyang, although it has been devastated by wars, it is still the largest city in the world. Its population and economy are not comparable to the current Chang'an.

In addition, the establishment of Luoyang as the capital is equivalent to hanging a sword of Damocles around the necks of the princes of Kansai and Kanto.

"Okay, fourth uncle doesn't need to persuade me anymore, I have decided to make Luoyang my capital." Qin Hao said firmly.

Qin Jian and others from the Qin clan saw that Qin Guo had solved it in such a way that there was no room for negotiation, so they could only retreat back with a look of disappointment.

As for what year to use, the civil and military disputes arose again.

Zhuge Liang proposed to use "Zhang Wu", Zhang Zhe Wen also, "Zhang Wu" is also civil and military;

Zhang Hong proposed to use "Yellow Dragon", because the Yellow Dragon is the real son of heaven;

Guo Jia proposed to use 'Huang Chu'...

Gu Yong suggested using 'Huang Wu'...

……

The ministers believed that Qin Hao swept the princes internally and chased Yuan Qing externally. He has fought for many years without defeat, so there must be a "Wu" character in the year title to show his achievements, or a "Yellow" character to show his dignity, so it is proposed His year name is either '*wu' or 'huang*'.

Qin Hao saw that everyone had been arguing for more than ten minutes, but no one was convinced, so he gave Jia Xu a wink.

After Jia Xu understood, he pretended to cough twice, and then stood up and said, "What do you think of the year name 'Shenwu', Your Majesty?"

"Shenwu? Wise and martial?"

Qin Hao's spirit was shaken, he clapped his palms and said with a smile: "Uncle proposes to be in harmony with the king's heart, so let's name it Shenwu."

The reason why Qin Hao wanted the ministers to discuss it was to see if there were any new year names, but the ones proposed were all used by others in history. Although they have not been used yet, Qin Hao still does not want to use them. I want to use my own year number.

Let Jia Xu stand up and express his opinion, just to see if he has a good idea, if it doesn't work out what he thinks, it really agrees with Qin Hao.

When Zhuge Liang, Zhang Hong and others heard it, they all felt that the year name of Shenwu was magnificent, domineering, and catchy. The most important thing was that it had not been used by anyone, so it was really the most suitable year name.

In this way, Qin Hao's reign was set, and the Qin Taizu, Emperor Shenwu, who was talked about by future generations, was born.

As for the proclaiming the emperor, it is naturally impossible for the emperor Qin Hao to write it. There are countless outstanding literati in the Great Qin Kingdom. If Qin Hao is still allowed to do it himself, then the literati in the Qin Kingdom will not be able to hold their heads up.

Writing a call to action is not difficult, it is not easy to say, there are still many people who are competent, such as: Han Fei, Qu Yuan, Wang Xizhi, Qin Guan, Wang Anshi, Wen Tianxiang, Zhuge Liang and so on.

It couldn't be easier to write a good essay with the literary talent of these people.

In the end, after some consideration, Qin Hao decided to entrust this task to Qu Yuan. His style of writing is gorgeous, majestic, and upright, relatively speaking, he is more suitable for writing this essay.

Seeing that the lord entrusted him with such an important task, Qu Yuan made up his mind to live up to the lord's trust, so he retreated and prepared to write a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation.

Writing a call-to-action essay with Qu Yuan's literary talents is simply a big deal. It took only one night to write the first draft, but he was not satisfied, and he continued to improve it for three days. Polished, finally Qin Hao's proclaiming the emperor was proudly published.

　Regarding the possible change of the year name, do you have any good suggestions?
