The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 447 Great Qianyuan

The morning of January 22.Liu Bingzhong, who was in charge of urban planning for the new city of Dadu in Mongolia, introduced the layout of the new city of Dadu to Kublai Khan in detail during the court meeting.According to Liu Bingzhong's plan.The entire Dadu New City forms a long pattern that is slightly longer from north to south.The Royal Palace is located in the south of the city.For a square.Among them, the lake occupies nearly [-]% of the area.Divided into South Lake and North Lake.The city gates of the metropolis are set at eleven.To the north are Jiandemen and Anzhenmen.To the south are Shunchengmen, Lizhengmen, and Wenmingmen.To the west are Suqingmen, Heyimen and Pingzemen.To the east are Guangxi Gate, Chongren Gate and Qihua Gate.

Kublai Khan listened to the introduction.Looking at the floor plan, he said, "Liu Aiqing. Just build it like this. The main project of the imperial city has been completed. How long will it take to build the new city of Shangdu?"

"Back to the Great Khan. The minister estimates that it will take another two years to see the beginning. It will take at least ten years to complete the project."

"Okay." Kublai Khan said with satisfaction. "Liu Aiqing. When building Dadu New City. No matter what problems you encounter, you can come to Ben Khan directly."

"Yes. Profusely sweating."

Shangdu New City designed and planned by Liu Bingzhong.It laid the foundation for Beijing, the capital of the Ming and Qing dynasties in the future.Dadu was historically known as the winter capital of the Yuan Dynasty.Kaiping, the original central capital, was called Xiadu.

Kublai Khan laughed.To all the officials in the big tent, he said: "At the beginning of this month, the elders (referring to the monk Zicong, that is, Liu Bingzhong, etc.) went to the court. Application for the memorial. It is said that the great cause has been accomplished. It should be decided in Hongming. This matter is approved by the Khan. Play. Ladies and gentlemen, at the court meeting on the first day of next month, we will draw up a new country name for our dynasty."

"Yes. Profusely sweating."

Basiba, the Mongolian national teacher, said: "Great Khan. The new Mongolian characters created by the minister have been completed a few days ago. Please review it."

"National teacher. Ben Khan will discuss this matter with you in the near future. Retire."

The new Mongolian characters mentioned by Basiba were formulated based on the Tubo characters at that time.It is used to replace Mongolian characters whose transcription is not accurate enough.

The first day of February.Kublai Khan held a special court meeting in the big tent of the Dadu Palace.To discuss the change of the country name of Mongolia.The only people who participated in this court meeting were the high-level officials of Mongolia and Tianya God Zun Yintianya.

"The ministers and others see the Great Khan."

"Excuse me." Kublai Khan said. "Dear dears, we are discussing the issue of our Mongolian new country today. Do you have any suggestions?"

Liu Bingzhong first played: "Great Khan. The minister suggested that the name of Ke Jianguo is 'Da Yuan'. It takes the meaning of 'Great Qian Yuan' from the Book of Changes."

The word "Dazai Qianyuan" comes from "Book of Changes".It means that. "God. Very vast."

Hao Jing, Yao Shu, Xu Heng and other Han ministers naturally understood the meaning of Dazai Qianyuan.They all agreed and said: "Khan, Mr. Liu's proposal is very good. The ministers and others seconded the proposal."

Yin Tianya expressed his stance on behalf of the shamanism: "I am facing the vastness and boundlessness. It is very appropriate to express it with 'Dazai Qianyuan'. This deity agrees."

immediately.Various factions in Mongolia, such as Zhenjin, Boyan, Basiba, and Ahema, also expressed their views one after another.Support Liu Bingzhong's proposal.

"Great Yuan. Great Yuan. 'Great Qian Yuan'. Good. What a great Yuan." Kublai laughed loudly. "That's it. True gold. You and the emperor, Liu Aiqing, Yao Shu and Yao Aiqing handle this matter together."

"Yes. Father (big) Khan."

Kublai Khan was in a good mood.Then said: "Liu Aiqing listens to the seal."

"The minister is here."

"Liu Aiqing. In recognition of your contribution in designing and supervising the construction of the Metropolitan City and the new imperial palace. Ben Khan granted you the title of Doctor Guanglu and Taibao. You will be promoted to the rank of first rank."

Liu Bingzhong was surprised for a moment.Kneeling and thanking him, he said, "My minister Liu Bingzhong thanked the Great Khan for his gift."

Although Doctor Guanglu is only a civil servant.But since the Yuan Dynasty.It is from the official title of first rank.Its title is equivalent to the rank of county king.Throughout the Yuan Dynasty.The minister of the Han people who received such a distinguished honor.Only Liu Bingzhong is alone.After Liu Bingzhong died.Kublai Khan presented his Taifu.Feng Zhao Guogong.Posthumous title Wenzhen.Yuan Chengzong period.He was also posthumously awarded as Taishi.His posthumous title is Wenzheng.Renzong time.Once again, he was granted the title of King Changshan.Liu Bingzhong is proficient in Yishu.Yin Tianya also had to teach the shaman secret art.A few years later, it is even more green than blue and better than blue.Become the most outstanding master of Yi in the Yuan Dynasty.

In the legends of later generations.Liu Bingzhong can know about 500 years.According to the records of "Yong Chuang Essays" written by Zhu Guozhen, the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty.During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty.Liu Bingzhong's tomb was stolen.There is a stone inscription inside that states: Li Huai, the thief.The matter spread to the government.The grave robber was arrested.It really was Li Huai.Of course.The accuracy of the records in ancient books needs to be verified.

"Liu Aiqing. Peaceful life. Lovers. According to the suggestion of the gods. Ben Khan decided to move into Xincheng Palace on the 25th on the auspicious day of this month."

In "Yuan Shi.In "The Chronicle of the Ancestors".There is a very simple sentence.The reason why Kublai Khan was converted from Mongolian Khan to Chinese emperor can be explained in a general way.This passage is precise and appropriate.Its article said: "The ancestors measure the grandeur. Know people and do well. Trust Confucianism. Use energy to change barbarians. Establish classics and Chen Ji. Therefore, they are the rulers of one generation. The scale is also grand."

On the face of it.The Yuan Dynasty and Mongolia only had different country names.But its meaning is quite different.

February 25.Kublai Khan entered the New Palace in Dadu.And the first court meeting was held in the new palace.The first court meeting of the Yuan Dynasty.

Kublai Khan sat high on the golden steps directly in front of the main hall.He looked at the entire palace hall with satisfaction.After accepting the great gift from all the officials, he said: "My dear friends. Ben Khan hereby announces that our Mongolian country has officially changed its name to the Great Yuan Empire from today. The name of the country is Great Yuan. Ben Khan is the first emperor of the Great Yuan Empire." Our Great Yuan Empire includes not only the Mongols, the Semu people of the Western Regions, but also the Han, the Jin, and the Tubo. Ladies and gentlemen, the significance of changing the country name. Ben Khan has repeatedly emphasized. That is, Ben Khan should not only consistently maintain the unity of the Mongolian Empire, maintain the traditions of the Mongolian people, but also become the ruler of the Central Plains Dynasty. Next. Ben Khan Khan first read the "Edict of Jianguo"."

The ministers in the hall all looked solemn.He listened carefully to Kublai Khan's declaration: "Birth is the fate of the king. The whole world is honored by the house; it must have a good name. The kings will be ruled. It started from Longgu. The bandit is my family. And the Tang Dynasty is also a turmoil. Yao was famous for it; Yu was famous for his words and music. Shun was named because of it. He was tamed until Yu Xing and Tang made it. They were named Xia and Da in Yinzhong. The world came down to return. Things are different from ancient times. The country. It is not called for profit. It is Qin and Han. It is the name of the place from the beginning; Expediency. General to the public. No less derogation. My great ancestor, Emperor Shengwu. Holding the Qianfu, he raised Shuotu. With the gods and martial arts, he became the emperor's map. The sound of the sky is shaken. The earth is magnificent. The map is so wide. It has never been seen in ancient times. It is said that it has been accomplished in the great cause. It should be established in Hongming. It is natural in the ancient system. I don’t care about it. The name of the country can be called Dayuan. It is based on the "Book of Changes" "dry The meaning of "Yuan". Here is the meaning of "Yuan". It is the manifold of common goods. Who is the name of the merits of the capital? Giving one person peace in all nations. Especially the essentials of body and benevolence. Things follow the cause of change. Dao associates heaven and man. In drama. The name. The solid bandits are proud of it; Fuxiu is eternal. It is not up to the hardships. Jia and Futian. Together, the grandeur."

Kublai Khan's voice was loud.Full of spirit.Let the ministers hear clearly.

It can be seen from this "Jianguo Haozhao".The Yuan Dynasty founded by Kublai Khan.It is the continuation of the Chinese feudal dynasty.It is Yao Shun Yu Tang.The continuation of Qin, Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties.The so-called: "Show a hundred kings and discipline."The imperial edict also described the great cause of unification from Genghis Khan to Kublai Khan.It is regarded as a "great cause" that is "unprecedented in history".That is to say, this performance is unmatched by any ancient monarch.Therefore, the name of the nation "Mongolia" is used.It is not enough to express the meaning of the new dynasty.

Kublai Khan was very clear.In today's current situation, the battle between Song and Mongolia is the top priority.In the Mongolian army.The number of Han soldiers has exceeded that of Mongolian soldiers.And in the court.The weight of Han ministers is also getting heavier.at the same time.The siege of Xiangyang in the Southern Dynasty was a long-term and continuous battle.Among them, a large amount of food, grass and armaments are required.Most of these military supplies depend on the farming and manufacturing of the Han people.so.Kublai Khan also hoped to use the Great Yuan Empire to win over the hearts of the Han people.

certainly.There are pros and cons to everything.Although Kublai Khan's approach is of great benefit to his intention to unify the Central Plains.But also because of this.Other descendants of Genghis Khan seem to have found reason to rebel.After that, they all announced that they would break away from Kublai Khan's control.So much so that Haidu, which once supported Ali Boke, formed an alliance against Kublai Khan in West Asia and Central Asia.

The Mongolian ministers in the new hall all knelt down.Loudly said: "The ministers and others will see the emperor. Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

"Dear dears. Free yourself from courtesy."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Kublai Khan said with great pride: "Everyone loves you. As the emperor of the Great Yuan Empire, I will surely lead me to rule the world and create a new history. Let my Great Yuan Empire become the strongest empire ever. It will last for generations. Let longevity The blessedness of the sky permeates wherever the sun covers. Birth and death are immortal."

"Long live the emperor."

"National teacher Ba Siba."

"The minister is here."

"The new Mongolian characters can be implemented immediately. You will draft an imperial edict with the relevant ministries. Promote it within the scope of our dynasty."

"Yes. Your majesty. I obey the order."

Kublai Khan set his capital in Dadu.And changed the name of the country to "Dayuan".This shows the country he ruled.It is not just a Mongolian nation.It also shows Kublai Khan's desire to become the orthodox successor of the feudal dynasty in the Central Plains.

In February of the fifth year of Xianchun (1269).Kublai Khan based on the ancient Han literature "Book of Changes".The name of the country was changed to "Dayuan".Mongolia since Genghis Khan.After decades, it was renamed Yuan Dynasty.This is more than two years earlier than November, the seventh year of Xianchun (1271), when the Yuan Dynasty was officially established in history.
