Chapter 967 Determining the Country Name
Gao Yihuan's expectations were right. After he released the news, there were still memorials coming up from the local area one after another.

Among them, the most auspicious signs are found in Hedong and Hebei. For example, the prefect of Puzhou reported that some people found that there were huge waves rolling in the Yellow River and giant dragons appeared. Not to be outdone, Feng Quan was ashamed and said directly that he had dreamed of a fairy entrusting his dream, saying that Gao Yihuan deserved to be called emperor.

His memorial is really shameless to the extreme. Others need to spend some effort, search the mountains and seas to find some rare and exotic animals, and spend a little effort to make people light a fire in the middle of the night and burn two forests. He is good, and he can solve it in a dream. Yes, but Qili has not been able to confirm it.

With him taking the lead, crooked melons and split dates in Hebei followed suit. For a while, everyone had strange dreams, either dreaming of gods or Buddha, and there was only one meaning conveyed, that is, Gao Yihuan must be the emperor.

Although Gao Yihuan was shameless, he didn't reach this point. He hurriedly ordered that dreamers don't need to write a book, they have to have real things.

After Gao Yihuan gathered together, he found that few people in the first controlled areas of Guanzhong and Huguang agreed with him. Of course, they did not oppose Gao Yihuan's proclaiming the emperor, but they just felt that proclaiming the emperor was unnecessary, and it was a bit outrageous.

And in Hedong, it was Chen Mingxia who was in charge of recruiting and resettlement, and placed many old disciples, so there were more auspicious things found in Hedong.

The newly recruited Feng Quan and others in Hebei have no morals at all, even the Manchus can seek refuge, not to mention Gao Yihuan is called an emperor.

When they discovered Gao Yihuan's intentions, they followed suit. According to the official practice and the tacit understanding between the monarch and his ministers, if they did things for Gao Yihuan, Gao Yihuan had to give them rewards so that they could gain a foothold in Wei.

If not, next time Gao Yihuan has something to do that cannot be said, just say hello, who will do it for him?

Gao Yihuan received a lot of auspiciousness, but he was not very satisfied. First, no one reported auspiciousness to him in Chenliu, his hometown; , or vaguely.

Gao Yihuan looked at the memorial that day, suddenly raised his eyebrows, smiled, and asked, "Mr. Chen, Niu Jinxing is the governor of Eastern Sichuan, how is he doing?"

Chen Mingxia's heart trembled, he raised his vigilance, and said with a frown, "The chieftains in southern Sichuan have been making a lot of noise in the past two years. Niu Jinxing is in charge of Chongqing, Kuizhou, and Shunqing. Locals like to form cliques, this person still has many problems."

In the memorial, Niu Jinxing said that he found auspiciousness and wanted to carry out a white tortoise and a white tiger. A little favor is gone, but Lao Niu donated two top auspicious beasts at once, and it is impossible not to reward them.

Gao Yihuan knocked on the table with his hand, and pondered: "Niu Jinxing seems to have done some research on the etiquette system, transfer him back to Wang Jing, and work in the etiquette department!"

Gao Yihuan was going to let Wang Shicong be in charge of the production and restoration of Shandong and Huaibei. Niu Jinxing had worked out a set of Dashun official system and etiquette. Gao Yihuan felt that after he became emperor, he might be able to use it.

Chen Ming Xia Wenyu nodded, and then said, "Your Majesty, the cabinet wants to discuss matters with the King regarding the country title and year title."

Gao Yihuan asked, "Have all the bachelors arrived?"

Chen Mingxia said: "Except for those who can't leave, everyone has already arrived in Tai'an."

Gao Yi laughed and said, "In that case, let's discuss tonight!"

Chen Mingxia took the order and was about to resign, but Gao Yihuan called him back, "Wait a minute, post the content of this memorandum on the residence newspaper, and ask for the front page!"

Chen Mingxia took it with a salute, nodded in agreement, exited the study, opened it, and immediately pulled his face down.

~~~~~~
Due to the deliberate disclosure, the news that Gao Yihuan was about to proclaim himself emperor had already spread in Wei State.

However, this news did not shock people much, and it can be said to be a matter of course.

As early as after the Battle of Hedong, the prestige of Wei State had already surpassed that of Nanming, and Wei State had long expected Gao Yihuan to become emperor.

In the current situation, Great Wei dominates the north, its territory is much larger than that of Nanming, and its prestige is also higher than that of Nanming. If the king of Wei does not proclaim himself emperor, the army and people of Wei have to worry about him.

In such a situation, it is impossible to live in peace with Nanming, let alone continue to be a vassal. Gao Yihuan agreed, but the army would not agree.

Therefore, upon hearing this news, the vast majority of Wei people were not talking about whether they should be called emperor, but what kind of country name, what year name, and what new policies the new dynasty would have after being called emperor.

The Ming Dynasty has existed for more than 270 years, and the image left to the people in the north is the scourge of bandits, slavery, and the corruption of the court and the people's desperation.

The foundation of the Ming Dynasty in the south may still be very stable, but in the north, the people don't remember it. They are still full of expectations for Gao Yihuan to ascend the throne and establish a new empire.

······
It was night, in the Tai'an Palace, Li Yan, Chen Mingxia, Wang Shicong and others gathered to discuss the matter of the country name.

There are mainly two factions of opinion here, one faction suggests continuing to use Wei, and the other faction suggests choosing another country name.

The reason for suggesting to use Wei is very simple. Chen Liu is the land of Wei, and Gao Dawang, from the leader of the Wei Wu army to the king of Wei, is in the same line, which is more in line with the convention.

Those who suggested choosing another country name reasoned because of the new dynasty and new atmosphere, and Wei did not establish a unified regime in history, so it should be auspicious and change the country name. As for what to change, there are many opinions. Han and You Shuo Zhou can come up with a lot of reasons.

At this time, several people were arguing in the hall, citing scriptures one by one, each of them had their own reasons, and they all hoped to choose their own plan in the end and win the glory of confirming the country's name.

At this time, the guard outside the door shouted loudly, "Your Majesty is here!"

Everyone stood up one after another, only to see Gao Yi walking in from the outside happily, and everyone bowed and saluted together, "See you, Your Majesty!"

"Gentlemen, please sit down!" Gao Yihuan waved his hand after sitting down in his seat.

Everyone sat down on both sides, and Gao Yihuan asked: "I don't know how many gentlemen, have you reached a conclusion?"

As the first assistant, Li Yan said: "Reporting to the king, there are still great differences and no consensus has been reached. The ministers advocate continuing to use Wei. The Wangge Department and Chen Ge Department have their own suggestions, mainly Han, Zhou, Song, Qi and other proposals. Also ask the king to decide."

Gao Yihuan frowned slightly, and pondered for a moment, "Why are you all there? It seems that they don't have anything to do with it."

Chen Mingxia said: "This is the old man's suggestion~"

Gao Yihuan remembered that earlier Gao Zurong was keen on research and found a bunch of ancestors for him, but he didn't know how to use them all.

"Forget about Qi, what's the reason for Zhou and Song!" Gao Yihuan asked.

Wang Shicong said: "Zhou Chongli used Zhou to restore morality and order."

Lu Yifang said: "Song culture is at its peak, and the people are rich."

Gao Yihuan thought about it, Zhou and Song had good things to say, but Gao Yihuan felt that something was wrong, something was missing, and said after a while: "These two national titles are too weak, and the new dynasty must reverse the Central Plains dynasty and shrink inward. In the current situation, I think that the country should be stronger."

Everyone thought a lot about the name of the country, but Gao Yihuan rejected more than half of it in an instant, which made the person who suggested it feel a pity.

At this moment, Chen Mingxia smiled and said, "Your Majesty, what about the Han?"

Gao Yihuan frowned in thought, and shook his head after a while, "Han is indeed a good title, but there are two Hans, and the significance of continuation of inheritance is greater than that of expansion. The lonely king should use Wei!"

Li Yan smiled and said: "Chenliu belongs to the land of Wei. During the Warring States period, Wei soldiers were invincible. During the Three Kingdoms period, Wei was also relatively strong, and there was no unified dynasty with Wei as the name of the country. Using Wei as the name of the country and unifying the world will create a new dynasty. !"

Gao Yihuan nodded slightly. Starting from Wei Wujun, he already had feelings for Wei, so he immediately said to everyone: "In this case, we are called Great Wei!"

······
September 1651, 9, according to the officials of Qin Tianjian, was an auspicious day for the zodiac.

At this time, at the foot of Mount Tai, [-] Wei troops were lined up, banners were flying, and spears soared into the clouds.

Gao Yihuan's guard of honor appeared in the sight of the army and the common people. Three thousand black armored cavalry cleared the way, behind them were dressed in python robes, Xuanyi guards with goose feather knives hanging from their waists, angry horses in fresh clothes, and twelve dragon flags with large banners In the front, there are 64 big flags such as the sun flag, the moon flag, the blue dragon, and the white tiger behind, and at the end are all kinds of yellow covers, colorful umbrellas, and big flags. Gao Yihuan is sitting in a cart pulled by six strong horses, holding an ax Surrounded by warriors with halberds and various sacrificial vessels, they left Tai'an City and headed for Mount Tai.

Gao Yihuan's guard of honor came all the way, and there were constant cheers along the way, which also indicated that the grand ceremony was just beginning, and a new empire would be established on this land.
