Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 1005 The title of the country, the capital

"My lords, my generals, I am Liu Xie!"

As soon as Liu Xie said this, needles could be heard in the hall!No one knew that the real identity of this Luoyang prefect was Liu Xie!

Who is Liu Xie?He is the monarch of the Eastern Han Dynasty!Many people thought he was dead, but now he is standing here alive, and he is still the prefect of Luoyang in the Kingdom of Shu!This confuses many people. Some generals didn't know what Liu Xie said, so they pressed their right hands on the hilt of their swords. As long as Liu Xie said something recklessly, they would immediately chop him into eighteen pieces!
Not only the generals were cautious, but some civil servants who didn't know the truth also stared at Liu Xie with hostility, for fear that he would speak nonsense.

Regardless of the reactions of these people, Liu Xie said to himself: "The Han family was broken, the people were displaced, and suffered from wars and chaos. As one body, we sent troops to destroy the barbarians, and spread the majesty of our Central Plains far beyond the region! If we do not ascend the throne and proclaim ourselves emperor for such great achievements, it would be a pity for the world! Please king of Shu proclaim emperor!"

After Liu Xie finished speaking, he fell down again!
"Please proclaim yourself emperor!"

Seeing that Liu Xie said it beautifully, the loyal minister followed him and begged again!
"Proclaiming the emperor is not a child's play. There are many things to prepare and a long-term plan!" Wu Shun said.

Proclaiming the emperor must be slow, but Wu Shun, who has become the general trend, is not in a hurry.

But he is not in a hurry, the courtiers under his command can't wait.You must know that many people have made great contributions. If Wu Shun is still a king, he is not qualified for rewards, he must be called emperor.

"Your Majesty only needs to agree, and the rest will be left to the ministers to worry about!"

Jia Xu, who hadn't appeared in the hall for a long time, also came out to persuade.

"Your Majesty, being enthroned and proclaiming the emperor is the hope of all the people, don't slack off!"

Cai Yong, the chief dean of Yizhou College, came out and said.

He is Wu Shun's father-in-law. He used to be a die-hard fan of the Han family, and he was only loyal to the Han family. But after so many years, he has seen Wu Shun's achievements. Today, he also hopes that Wu Shun can soon Proclaim the emperor and benefit the people.

"Boss Cai has already spoken, so don't refuse, Your Majesty!"

Zhuge Liang said again.

In fact, the loyal ministers had already discussed today's situation. On the day Wu Shun returned triumphantly, he would agree to proclaim himself emperor.This is the first major event after the battle of the Wuling Army!
Wu Shun saw that the ministers were so "ruthless" that we wouldn't get up if you didn't agree, he had to compromise, and he didn't like procrastination, so he said: "Since all the ministers have agreed, let's discuss the name of the country. No, how about the capital?"

"Your Majesty... oh no, Your Majesty is wise!"

Zhuge Liang almost stuttered when he was happy!
When Wu Shun said that, he agreed, and the loyal ministers were all smiles, and they wanted to discuss what you said.The main hall was suddenly chaotic, like a vegetable market.

"My lords, please be quiet!"

Zhuge Liang came out and shouted loudly.As soon as he shouted, the others stopped, and the hall returned to silence.

"Your Majesty proclaims himself emperor, how will the title of the country be decided?" Zhuge Liang asked his question.

"How about continuing to use Han?" Before other ministers could answer, Wu Shun answered first.

"No, Han is the former dynasty, Your Majesty's surname is Wu, and the Han Dynasty is the surname of Liu! No, no!" Zhuge Liang directly refused!

Just kidding that Wu Shun continued to use Han as the country name, there is no basis at all, and the ancestor of the Han Dynasty was Liu Bang, whose surname was Liu!Zhuge Liang couldn't figure out what Wu Shun was thinking. This is a serious moment of dynastic change, how can it be used.

"How about using Huaxia as the country name?"

"inappropriate!"

"How about China?"

"It's not right either!"

"How about China?"

"inappropriate……"

Wu Shun was speechless, all his proposals were rejected!Originally, he was still thinking that if Huaxia was used as the country name, then they would be the Huaxia Empire, how domineering the name is!It's a pity that Zhuge Liang got stuck directly.

Having lost his mind, Wu Shun simply did not participate in the formulation of the country's name, supported his forehead, and shook his hands to relieve the headache of the officials below.

The ministers below discussed for a long time, and finally Zhuge Liang came out to report the results:
"Your Majesty, the ministers think that the name of the country should be Shu!"

"The Great Shu Empire?"

"Uncle Empire?"

"Empire of Rats?"

Wu Shun felt awkward no matter what, and the Huaxia Empire still sounds good no matter what!
But it was approved by the ministers, and it is not easy for him to refute it. Dashu is Dashu!
"With the title of the country, what about the title of the year?" Wu Shun asked.

To ascend the throne and proclaim the emperor, of course one must have a reign title!

"It's better to use Huaxia as the year name. From the first year of Huaxia, later emperors are not allowed to change the year name. Let this year name determine the fate of the country of Shu."

Wu Shun said.

"Use Huaxia as the year name!" Zhuge Liang and the others heard what Wu Shun said, so they agreed directly.

The name of the year was originally decided by the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the name and year of the country have been determined, and the capital of the Kingdom of Shu should be determined! I suggest that Chang'an be the capital of the country!" Zhuge Liang said.

When it comes to the location of the capital, there are many different opinions here. Zhuge Liang thinks that Chang'an is good. It is the hometown of the Western Han Dynasty, and it is lucky!
However, some people think that Luoyang is good, because Chang'an is dilapidated after all. After so many years of restoration, Luoyang's appearance has changed a lot, and it only needs a little repair.

Of course, there are also people who think that Chengdu is not bad, because the Kingdom of Shu grew up here, which means that the luck of the Kingdom of Shu lies here, and there is no need to consider other places.

It's just that Wu Shun is not very satisfied with these three locations!

At this time, Wu Shun suddenly thought of a sentence, which was about the integrity of the Ming Dynasty: The kings of the Ming Dynasty never made peace, did not cede land, did not make offerings, and did not pay compensation.
Whenever I think of this sentence, I will deeply feel the integrity of the Ming Dynasty!You must know that when Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty was desperate, he did not escape, but chose to die in the capital!

Since the emperor was required to guard the gate of the country, Wu Shun also hoped to set the capital of the country in the area of ​​Kyoto in later generations.

"The location of the capital, this king has a suggestion, and all the ministers can discuss it." Wu Shun said.

"May I ask Your Majesty, where is it?" A minister asked,

"Jixian, Zhuojun!" Wu Shun said.

"Ji County?"

The ministers were dumbfounded, they never thought that Wu Shun would choose Ji County!Ji County belongs to Youzhou, and will be threatened by grassland tribes, and it is not far from the coast, and may be threatened by the sea in the future.

The most important thing is that Ji County is now almost a piece of wasteland after experiencing war, and building a city there is not something that will happen overnight.

All the ministers wanted to persuade, but seeing Wu Shun's undissuadable expression, they all turned their attention to Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and others, hoping that these military advisers could persuade Wu Shun.

"Your Majesty, why did you establish the capital here?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"The Son of Heaven guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country!" Wu Shun replied, Zhuge Liang and other ministers were shocked by this sentence.
It turned out that Wu Shun had this kind of plan, no wonder he chose that place.
