Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 466 Enthroned
Changing the country's name is a big deal.

Even if Li Yue's heart is moved, he can't act arbitrarily. He must first communicate with Wang Meng, Chang Wei, and Zhou Qian.

Unexpectedly, both of them objected and one of them remained silent.

"Since His Highness has taken Liang as his title, he cannot change it easily. The people of the country are determined. Liang is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The change of the country's title will shake the people's hearts and be detrimental to the country." Chang Wei cupped his hands and said.

Wang Meng said: "The Tang Dynasty is a trumpet. Your Highness started from Zhenghan and was born in Liangdi. This is destiny. How can it be changed?"

Although Zhou Qian didn't say a word, his silence itself was a kind of denial.

In the past, Zhou Qian always agreed with whatever Li Yue wanted to do.

Li Yue found that he had simplified the matter.

In this era, the national title has its own set of rules. It doesn't mean that you can do whatever you want with a slap on the head.

Although Li Yue knew that Tang Dynasty was at the pinnacle of China, they did not know that in their eyes, Tang was not as good as Liang...

The key is that he and "Tang" are really incompatible...

Of course, it is not impossible to forcefully use the Tang Dynasty as the country's name, but it will definitely cause a split in the hearts and minds of the people within the country.

"Liang" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and changing it at will will appear to be too hasty in the eyes of the soldiers and people of the country.

Historically, Tuoba Gui changed "Dai" to "Wei", but it did not make the Northern Wei Dynasty stronger. Tuoba Gui himself was killed by his son, and he did not survive for many years before splitting into the Eastern and Western Wei...

In fact, it doesn’t matter what the country’s name is, the key is how far it can develop.

After the Han Dynasty, there were many forces named Han in history. Who can really restore the glory of the Han Dynasty?Liu Yuan's "Han Kingdom" didn't come up with any tricks either...

After the Tang Dynasty, there were several Tang states, but they were basically Caotai teams...

You are unique, and Liang Guo is also unique. Just follow your own path, there is no need to touch others.

"What you all said is absolutely true." Li Yuechong handed over to the three of them.

Be pragmatic rather than pragmatic. Since changing the name to "Tang" will do more harm than good to the country, it is better not to change.

In the future, Daliang will also be able to create a grand and prosperous age.

Once the name of the country is established, proclaiming the emperor will be on the agenda.

The news that was released received a huge response.

In the past two years, under the propaganda of Honglu officials, the common people in the country had a rough idea of ​​what the Jin Dynasty was and how the Sima family came to be.

In the past few years since the founding of the country, Kanto has rapidly stabilized.

I dare not say that they have enough food and clothing, but the vast majority of people can already eat, have shelter from wind and rain, and do not have to beg for work under the crotch of barbarians.

But now that the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds. There must be people who care about Jiangdong, but they are definitely not the mainstream.

The mainstream is gradually accepting the identity of Liang people.

Therefore, Li Yue must be supported in proclaiming himself emperor.

All the conditions have long been ripe, and Li Yue's delay in proclaiming himself emperor until now has already attracted the attention of other forces.

On September [-]th of the third year of Hongwu, after simple preparations, an altar was built in the southern suburbs, and hundreds of civil and military officials were led to worship heaven and earth. Li Yue officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.

The name of the country was named "Liang", the Yuan Dynasty was changed to Zhengxing, Cui was named the queen, and the eldest son Li Jian was made the prince.

The eldest son Li Yi, the second son Li You, the third son Li You, the fourth son Li Lun, the fifth son Li Qian, and the sixth son Li Tuan were not old enough to be crowned kings, and the four daughters were still babbling children.

Chang Wei became the minister and his order remained unchanged, and he was granted the title of Duke of Julu County.Wang Meng was granted the title of "Secretary Order", Pingshang Shushi, and was granted the title of Duke of Qinghe County.Zhou Qian was appointed Zhongshu Supervisor and was granted the title of Duke of Hongnong County.Cui Jin added Sanqi as a regular attendant and was granted the title of Duke of Bohai County.

Most of the positions of civil servants remained unchanged. After weighing the pros and cons, Li Yue still did not set up the position of prime minister.

The prime ministers of the Sixteen Kingdoms and the Northern and Southern Dynasties make people's scalp numb just thinking about it. Although Chang Wei and Wang Meng were loyal, it was difficult for the second and third generations to guarantee... The power of the prime minister was born to restrain the imperial power. Once the balance was lost, it was easy to regain control. Follow the mistakes of Cao Cao and Yang Jian.

In the Western Jin Dynasty, an oath of Luoshui coupled with a regicide in the street destroyed the rules of power since the Han and Wei dynasties, and pierced the layer of window paper between monarchs and ministers. Therefore, the power changes in the entire Sixteen Kingdoms of the Southern and Northern Dynasties were extremely frequent, and monarchs and ministers The struggle between them was fierce, and few who ascended to the position of powerful officials did not take the last step.

Not to mention the relationship between monarch and ministers, even the relationship between father, son and brothers is full of blood...

That's why Zhuge Liang and Murong Ke appear to be particularly eye-catching.

Everything must be nipped in the bud. It is easy to set up the prime minister, but it is not so easy to remove him. Li Yue felt that the group prime minister system was more in line with historical laws.

To a certain extent, it restricted the power of the monarch and dispersed the power of the prime minister to avoid the emergence of powerful ministers.

From now on, whenever someone becomes a minister, he or she will basically become a prime minister and can participate in major national affairs.

The biggest changes are in the generals.

Since the Han and Wei dynasties, the great Sima, the great general, the great governor, the hussar, the chariot cavalry, and the general of the guard have all been respected. In the era when warriors in the Sixteen Kingdoms were rampant, there were tens of thousands of people who dared to call themselves emperors, and military power could not be centralized either.

Cao Wei's generals and governors were more terrifying than the Tang Dynasty's military governors.

Li Yue didn't dare to play like this.

There are four generals in the front, left and right, including the left and right generals of guard, the left and right generals of leading the army, the left and right generals of Fujun, the left and right generals of suppressing the army, and the left and right generals of valiant cavalry.

Wei Shan is the former general, Dong Run is the left general, Jia Jian is the right general, and Xu Cheng is the rear general.

With Gao Yun as the left guard general, Liang Xiao as the right guard general, Zhang Hao as the left leader, Cao Kan as the right leader, Lu Guang as the left town army, Lu Bozao as the right town army, Qin Biao as the left Xiaoqi, Mi Jin For the right knight.

Others Liu Laozhi, Zhuge Kan, Li Yi, Zhao He, Dou Feng and others recorded their merits and were all awarded the title of general.

During the war, Li Yue designated one person as the commander-in-chief, and after the war, he took back military power.

The left and right generals can increase their numbers in the future based on their military exploits.

In the future, when the world is unified, there will be generals on the left and right.

Governors were set up at chokepoints, such as Huguan Governor, Shanggu Governor, Sanzang Governor, Hefei Governor, Le'an Governor, etc., and they were stationed and guarded.

With Liang's national power, he had no energy to be extravagant and wasteful. After worshiping heaven and earth, he also worshiped the Li family's ancestral temple.

Then there was a general amnesty for the whole world, and land taxes were reduced or reduced, so that the people could benefit.

Even the shortened version of the ceremony made Li Yue so tired that he felt like a puppet on strings.

However, all the civil and military officials enjoyed it. Even Wei Shan, who was tall and tall, was dressed in court clothes. His face was full of flesh, which made him look particularly awkward.

Yecheng is in a state of excitement, with laughter and laughter everywhere, and the streets and alleys are decorated with lights and colorful decorations, making it even more festive than the first day of the Yuan Dynasty.

Li Yue ordered the curfew to be canceled and asked the dormitory guards and the school affairs office to increase their manpower to patrol the entire city.

Wherever the car passed, thousands of people raised their hands and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

I used to think that kings and emperors were similar, but after becoming emperor, my mood was very different, and I felt that the pressure on my shoulders was even greater.

The more power you enjoy, the more responsibility you bear.

The emperor, the master of creatures, the ancestor of prosperity.

He naturally has a sense of mission, a feeling that he has everything in the world at his fingertips, as if he is no longer a mortal, but a ruler. It is no wonder that so many emperors in history have over-inflated themselves.

However, Li Yue could still maintain his original character. The emperor not only had to be responsible for Chinese civilization, but also had to give an explanation to future generations, especially the first generation of founding kings.

The height a dynasty can reach basically depends on the previous two generations.
