Chapter 408 0404 [Determine the country’s name! 】

After the awards were given, it was time for discussion.

The newly promoted Grand Prime Minister Xie Ding stepped forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, now that the battle on the frontline has been decided, should the enthronement ceremony be put on the agenda?"

"can."

Han Zhen nodded and ordered: "Jian Tiansi will choose a good day, and the Etiquette Department will be responsible for the preparations."

"I accept your order."

Wu Min bowed and responded.

The ceremony of the enthronement ceremony is complicated and requires at least more than a month of preparation. It is also necessary to notify the Jin, Xixia, Zhao and Song, Dali, Jiaozhi, Goryeo, Japanese and other foreign countries in advance to invite these neighboring countries to participate in the enthronement ceremony.

Whether you come or not is one thing, you must invite.

When it comes to orthodoxy, there is no room for carelessness.

Xie Ding continued: "The matter of establishing the capital..."

"Bianjing is tentatively decided!"

As for the capital, Han Zhen had already thought about it, and that was Yanjing!

The northern Han people have been away from the influence of the Central Plains Dynasty for too long. Making Yanjing the capital will allow the northern Han people to return to the embrace of the Han family.

But the problem now is that today's Yanjing is too barren, with a lack of population and sparse water network, so it can only rely on sea transportation.

If we want to establish Yanjing as the capital, it will take at least ten or twenty years.

Therefore, we can only make Bianjing the capital temporarily.

Chang'an and Luoyang were not within his consideration range.

Today is no longer the Tang Dynasty. With the changes of the times, the water systems around Chang'an and Luoyang are no longer enough to support these two places as capitals.

At this time, Zhao Ting spoke up and said: "People have surnames, but countries have titles. I would like to ask your Majesty to designate a title for the country. Only in this way can the people return to their hearts."

"I would like to ask your Majesty to name the country!"

All the court officials responded loudly.

The matter of national title is more important than the enthronement ceremony.

The founding kings of the past dynasties basically followed a rule in determining the country's name, that is, the place where Long Xing was born.

Liu Bang, Cao Cao, Sima Yan, Yang Jian, Li Yuan, and Zhao Kuangyin were all like this.

Before Liu Bang proclaimed himself emperor, he was the King of Han, Cao Cao was the King of Wei, Yang Jian was the Duke of Sui, Li Yuan was granted the title of Duke of Tang, and Zhao Kuangyin was the Jiedu Envoy of the Returned German Army, which was also called Songzhou.

Even the Liao Kingdom was named after the Liao River.

Of course, there are also alternative founding emperors.

For example, Chen Baxian, the founding emperor of Nanchen, took his surname as the name of his country.

The Zhao and Song Dynasties were a watershed. In the dynasties after the Song Dynasty, the country title had nothing to do with the fiefdom and the land of Longxing.

Han Zhen pondered and said: "I started an uprising in Linzi, Qingzhou, and planned to name the country Qi. What do you think, dear friends?"

"I have no objection."

Xie Ding and others naturally had no objections and decided to name the country Qi, which was regarded as following the precedent.

"inappropriate!"

At this moment, an objection came from the hall.

Among the echoes, it seemed particularly harsh.

A group of civil and military officials followed the sound and found that the person who objected was none other than Huang Shang.

Huang Shang explained unhurriedly: "Zhao Song is the virtue of fire, but the character Qi belongs to gold. Your Majesty rose up and used the right to defeat the unjust. The country should be built with virtue, so Wei Chen believes that the name of the country should be It’s not appropriate.”

Hearing this, all the courtiers had different expressions.

In this era, the Five Elements theory is extremely popular.

Many literati are loyal supporters of the Five Elements theory.

Liu Mi thought for a moment and agreed: "Your Majesty, I think what Dean Huang said is true."

"I second the proposal."

Zhao Ding echoed: "Your Majesty, your surname can be the name of your country. The Korean character belongs to water, which corresponds to the virtue of water."

Some people agree, and naturally some people oppose it.

Chen Dong sneered and said in a sarcastic tone: "It's nonsense. If you say so, the Liao Kingdom was also founded with the virtue of fire, and the Kingdom of Jin belongs to gold. Why can it reverse the attack and destroy the Liao? Xixia has the virtue of gold, and it has not been defeated by the virtue of fire in these years. Zhao Song was destroyed, but Zhao Song was in danger. The Five Elements always said that it is extremely ridiculous."

Someone angrily said: "The Five Elements are the reincarnation of heaven, how can I allow you to slander them? The Liao and Jin countries are barbarians, how can they understand that the Five Elements are eternal?"

Chen Dong retorted: "If this is the case, Qin has the virtue of water, so why did the emperor of the Han Dynasty decide that the fate of the country should be the virtue of fire?"

"Hmph, you are ignorant and have no skills. The emperor of the Han Dynasty did not inherit the Qin Dynasty, but recognized King Huai of Chu, so he designated it as Fire Virtue. It was not until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that it was changed to Tu Virtue."

"Since it is the destiny of the country, how can it be changed at will?"

Seeing a group of courtiers quarreling fiercely, Han Zhen said loudly: "Quiet!"

After the words fell, all the courtiers suddenly stopped and fell silent.

Han Zhen left no room for doubt and said: "I have decided that the country names should be equal, so there is no need to argue!"

If we really let these courtiers continue to quarrel, I'm afraid there won't be any results until next year. Now that the officials have spoken, Huang Shang and others naturally have no need to argue.

Xie Ding asked again: "May I ask your Majesty what is the name of the founding year?"

Han Zhen said: "I don't plan to use the Jianyuan year, and use the Huangdi calendar instead."

The reign name changes every few years, and the people cannot remember it clearly. In some remote areas, they don't even know who the current emperor is.

There are even frequent incidents involving people over 200 years old.

The Yellow Emperor's Calendar is so convenient. People don't need to remember the number of years, they can just remember the Yellow Emperor's Calendar.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Chen Dong was the first to jump out.

This move is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. It has hundreds of benefits and no harm, so he naturally supports it with both hands and feet.

Zhao Ting frowned slightly and glanced at Chen Dong warily.

No wonder this man has risen through the ranks and is so skilled at flattering others.

It seems that this boy is a strong enemy!

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Xie Ding and others shouted in unison.

Han Zhen continued: "In addition, abolish the national taboo. I can call the name Han Zhen, and the people of the world can also call it Han Zhen! Not only this dynasty, but all taboos in the previous dynasty have been abolished and restored. This matter, together with the country name and the year name, The cabinet will draft the decree, announce it to the world, and go to the memorial hall to cooperate with the publicity!"

This national taboo should be thrown into the trash.

Apart from causing trouble for the common people and scholars, it has no use at all.

A good tiger is called a bug instead.

Countless people were forced to change their names and even their surnames.

Even the ancient books on poetry and poetry had to be revised together.

When taking part in the imperial examination, I was even more cautious, fearing that I would violate taboos and write words that I shouldn't have written, which would lead to my reputation being ruined.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

For a time, all the courtiers knelt down and bowed.

Just because they have also suffered from the country's taboo for a long time.

For example, when a minister writes a speech, he must consider every word because he cannot avoid taboos.

This is a very painful thing, and sometimes one word difference may convey completely different meanings.

Liu Qi raised his eyebrows and said with admiration: "After all, he is an official. I admire his broadmindedness and courage."

"really."

Han Shizhong nodded in agreement.

After formulating the national title, it is time to discuss internal affairs.

Liu Chang sang and said: "If there is something in each ministry, please come and play, but if there is nothing, silence is forbidden."

"My lord, I have a plan to report!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Cun stood up.

Han Zhen asked: "What's the matter?"

Xu Cun asked: "Your Majesty, the Imperial College is under the jurisdiction of the Education Institute, how should we deal with it?"

Han Zhen had already planned in his mind: "The Imperial College conducts scientific examinations from top to bottom to eliminate mediocrity and retain a few elites. At the same time, the four colleges of medicine, agriculture, engineering, and mathematics were separated from the Imperial College and established separate colleges. These four colleges The academy is the foundation of rejuvenating the country. Graduates are connected by the Academy of Engineering, the Medical Bureau, and the Agricultural College. The Education Academy will plan this matter on its own and write a detailed report, which will be submitted to the cabinet for approval!"

"Other disciplines were banned and merged into Imperial College."

"I accept your order!"

Xu Cun bowed and responded.

Speaking of medical school, Han Zhen thought of something and asked: "Where is Sun Wang who was promoted by the Imperial Medical Bureau?"

The Imperial Medical Bureau of the Northern Song Dynasty separated medical administration and medicine. Imperial Medical College belonged to the Imperial College, which was the highest medical education institution and was responsible for training medical students. It had jurisdiction over nine departments including Dafangmai, Fengke, and Xiaofangmai.

"Wei Chen is here!"

An old man emerged from the crowd.

Han Zhen ordered: "The Imperial Medical Bureau was changed to the Imperial Hospital, which is connected to the Medical College and governs all medical clinics under its jurisdiction. Those who open medical clinics must pass the examination and hold a certificate before they can practice medicine to prevent quack doctors from harming people. We are willing to recruit famous doctors from all over the world. Those who offer prescriptions and write books and biographies will be awarded official positions and titles. Please write a detailed plan and submit it after you return."

It’s still the same old thing, leaving professional things to professionals.

He is only responsible for providing a general direction and leaving the specific details to professionals.

Sun Wang had a confused look on his face: "Your Majesty, the examination of medical clinics is not easy. Doctors are scarce nowadays, and it is a blessing for the people to have doctors to treat their illnesses. Who cares whether they have a certificate or not."

Hearing this, Han Zhen also realized that his idea was a bit ahead of his time.

As the other party said, doctors are scarce these days. There are often only two or three medical clinics in a county. People have to wait in line to see a doctor. How can they be picky?

Thinking of this, Han Zhen nodded and said: "Put the medical clinic assessment on hold for now. Please pay more attention to other things."

"Your Majesty, please be at ease and be considerate of me."

Sun Wang was very happy. Looking at the appearance of the official family, it was obvious that he attached great importance to Taiyuan Hospital, and his life would be easy in the future.
