    Chapter 415: Country name, era name, treasured capital and canonized officials

    The two factions were so angry that they refused to give in to each other.

    Zhang Xuan sat on the dragon chair, calm as usual, did not express any opinions and allowed everyone to argue.  []

    ¡°In fact, for the two groups, this is not just a dispute over the country¡¯s name, era name and capital, but also a power struggle between the old and new power groups.

    Zhang Xuan actually had his opinion long ago, and although it can be finalized, if the two groups are not allowed to fight, it will also appear that he has lost his dignity as an emperor.

    Chen Xilie did not participate in the debate. He already knew it, because Zhang Xuan gave him the full answer. This old guy still needed to come forward to make the final decision.

    Yang Guozhong refused to give in at all, while Guo Ziyi and others even refused to respond tit-for-tat.  Although the name of the country and the era were still uncertain, Guo Ziyi knew that Zhang Xuan wanted to make Luoyang the capital, so he naturally argued for it.

    Zhang Xuan finally became impatient.

    He is a time traveler. Although he has a certain sense of belonging to his current family, it does not mean that he will identify with the so-called "descendant of Zhang Liang". The country's name is Han. In his opinion, it is nonsense.  Moreover, this was the name of a vassal state that existed in the pre-Qin Dynasty, and it was the same as the name of a small East Asian country in Zhang Xuan's previous life, so he rejected it from the bottom of his heart.

    As for establishing the capital, although Chang'an seems to be the most suitable, in Zhang Xuan's view, Chang'an's location is slightly northwest, which is not conducive to controlling the overall situation of the world.  His favorite was Fan Yang (Youzhou), which would later become Peiping and Beijing. However, the current Fan Yang was far from meeting the various requirements of being a great power, Kyoto. Relatively speaking, Luoyang was more suitable.

    Of course, when conditions are ripe in the future, he still intends to move the capital to Fanyang (Youzhou).

    Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan secretly winked at Chen Xilie.

    Chen Xilie let out a sigh of relief, knowing that it was his turn to appear.

    He coughed twice, bowed and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I have a few words to say."

    Zhang Xuan smiled gently and said, "Prime Minister Chen, please tell me what you have to say. I am all ears."

    Since Chen Xilie reappeared in the court, Zhang Xuan treated him with utmost courtesy and publicly showed respect and reliance. This time, he was called "Chen Xilie", which obviously confirmed Chen Xilie's status in the court.  .

    Chen Xilie was grateful in his heart and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I believe that your Majesty put down the rebellion in Luoyang and raised troops to raise the dragon in Luoyang. In the hinterland of the nine states in Luoyang, where the dragon veins gather, Luoyang should be the imperial capital. As for the name of the country, Luoyang is the capital of the world.  The capital of China, the capital of China, is the birthplace of our Chinese civilization. It would be better to take this word "hua" as the name of the country, and the title as the Chinese Empire, the lord of all nations in the world."

    As soon as Chen Xilie finished speaking, Zhang Xuan immediately agreed and said, "Of course. What Xiang Chen said is true, and I deeply believe it."

    "We have thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in China, and China is a majestic state. It is most appropriate for our country to be named Hua. In this case, I believe that the country's name should be Hua, and the name should be changed to Yongning." Zhang Xuan stood up suddenly, looked around the ministers, and said one word  After a while he said.

    Zhang Xuan had already expressed his stance. Naturally, Yang Guozhong and others were helpless. They did not dare to say anything anymore. They could only prostrate themselves to the ground along with everyone, shouting "Long Live the Mountain".

    "Long live China, long live Emperor Wu!"

    The sound of the ministers shouting "Long Live the Mountain" reached his ears, and Zhang Xuan laughed loudly, feeling very comfortable in his heart.

    On this day, the ninth day of the eleventh month of the first year of Yongning in the Chinese Dynasty, Zhang Xuan ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in Chang'an. The ministers agreed that the title of the emperor would be "The Emperor of China Yingtian, the most benevolent, sage, civil and military, and the most virtuous".

    The next day, Zhang Xuan issued an edict to name the country "Hua." It can also be collectively referred to as the "Chinese Empire" or "Zhongguo" to the outside world.  At the same time, changing Chang'an to Xijing is the western capital; changing Fanyang to Beiping is the northern capital; changing Luoyang to Zhongjing is the imperial capital.

    All the dust has settled.

    The Li Tang Dynasty fell, and the Zhang Hua Dynasty or the Chinese Empire emerged.

    On the third day, Zhang Xuan held a court meeting to confer hundreds of officials.

    Other canonizations, such as the canonization of concubines and the posthumous canonization of Zhang Xuan's father and ancestors, can be slowed down a bit, but the canonization of hundreds of officials is a top priority, because the Chinese Dynasty is emerging, and all officials need to be re-appointed with fixed positions and responsibilities.  The operation of the imperial court cannot be underestimated.

    At the court meeting, all the ministers had finished shouting for long live. Zhang Xuan looked around at everyone and remained silent.

    Except for Chen Xilie, everyone including Yang Guozhong was uneasy. They didn¡¯t know what official position Zhang Xuan would give them. This was related to their power, status, glory and wealth in the Chinese dynasty.

    Even Guo Ziyi and Feng Changqing, Zhang Xuan¡¯s confidants, are vaguely looking forward to it.

    Zhang Xuan glanced at Chen Xilie.

    Chen Xilie smiled knowingly and walked out of class and said loudly:??"Your Majesty has a message"

    "Following the system of three provinces and six ministries, the Menxia Province was changed to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Zhongshu Province and the Yushitai were combined into one and renamed the Ducha Province, and the Shangshu Province was changed to the Ministry of Government Affairs, with general knowledge of the world's government affairs, and six ministriesadded  The Department of Commerce and Trade was established under the name of the Ministry of Household Affairs."

    Chen Xilie read out the edict loudly, begging Each province established a governor, each state established a governor, and each county still established a county magistrate. The county reported to the state, the state reported to the state, and the state reported to the Ministry of Government Affairs of the imperial court. They controlled the affairs from top to bottom and oversaw the affairs of the world.  .  "

    ¡°Each province established a Ducha Envoy Yamen established a Dudufu, the largest army and horse in the world, to specialize in the defense of pong horses, and was under the command of the Dudufu, the military commander-in-chief of the imperial court.¡±

    "From now on, the local military, political, and supervisory powers are separated, supervise each other, and operate independently. The chief administrative officer shall not interfere with the military, and the military governor shall not interfere with local politics."I admire this.  "

    As soon as this edict came out, all the officials were shocked.  It's just that when the new dynasty was first established, any regulations and etiquette were dominated by the founding emperor. Zhang Xuan had already set the tone, and no one among the ministers dared to say anything.

    Of course, what they care about is not the political system, but the official position, which belongs to the individual's position grade.

    After Chen Xilie announced Zhang Xuan¡¯s edict, he withdrew.

    Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment, picked up the list of canonization of important officials of the imperial court that he had drawn up personally from the desk, and said slowly, "Our dynasty has just been established, and everything is waiting to be revitalized. In order to stabilize the world and ensure that the government of the court is harmonious and harmonious, after careful consideration, I have canonized  The officials are as follows:"

    Everyone¡¯s ears immediately stood up and they listened carefully.

    The emperor personally announced it, which shows that the emperor valued important positions in the court.

    "I am also the general marshal of the governor's office, the commander-in-chief of the world's military forces, and Guo Ziyi, Ge Shuhan, and Feng Changqing are deputy marshals."

    "Canonize Lian Xilie as Prime Minister and Grand Master of the Ministry of Government Affairs."

    "Yang Guozhong was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Pei Mian as the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Guo Ziyi as the Minister of the Ministry of War, Yang Qi as the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, Zhang Xun as the Minister of the Ministry of Husbandry, and Gongsun Liang as the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, all of whom were involved in political affairs."

    Zhang Xuan paused slightly after announcing this.

    Yang Guozhong felt relieved.  Although he is ranked below Chen Xilie, he is still the head of the six ministries and participates in political affairs. He can also be regarded as the junior or prime minister, which is basically in line with the position he expected.  Not to mention Gongsun Liang, Pei Mian and others. As officials of the Tang Dynasty, they were also Zhang Xuan's former political opponents. Zhang Xuan was able to put aside their old grudges and entrust them with important tasks, which was enough to make them shed tears of gratitude.

    The reason why Zhang Xuan did this was of course to appease his old ministers.

    As for transferring Yang Qi to the capital as the Minister of Justice, the main reason is that Yang Qi's talents are not enough to stabilize the Western Regions, and it is more suitable for him to return to the capital to participate in political affairs.

    Among the six ministers, Guo Ziyi is in charge of military power, Zhang Xun is in charge of population, money, food, economy and trade, and Yang Qi is in charge of criminal law. This is the real key position.  These three people are Zhang Xuan's confidants.

    Although Yang Guozhong was the head of the six departments of official affairs, the power of appointing and removing officials was still in the hands of the emperor. If Zhang Xuan strictly controlled it, Yang Guozhong would be a puppet.

    Yang Guozhong and others kneeled on the ground after leaving work, "I am waiting to thank the Lord for His kindness!"

    Zhang Xuan smiled calmly and continued, "Canonize Yan Zhenqing as the internal affairs order and governor of Zhongjing, and the governor of Henan Province, Cui Huan as the governor of Guannai Province, and Chen Tong as the governor of Hebei Province"

    Zhang Xuan announced the list of governors from all over the world in one breath.  Of course, except for a few people such as Yan Zhenqing, the other candidates for local officials such as governors were recommended by Chen Xilie, Yang Guozhong and others.

    "I canonize Pu Gu Huai'en as Marquis of Weiyuan and Commander-in-Chief of Fan Yang's army.

    "Yang Lian canonized as Marquis of Qinghai, Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Horses of Longshuo, and Commander-in-Chief of Qinghai March."

    "I canonize Ge Shuhan as the Marquis of Dingxi and the Commander-in-Chief of the Hexi Army."

    "Chang Qing canonized as the Marquis of Anxi, the Protector-General of the Anxi Protectorate, and the temporary Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Horses of Anxi."

    "Nan Jiyun is canonized as the Marquis of Qingyuan and the Commander-in-Chief of Henan Army and Horses. Lei Wanchun is the Marquis of Zhenyuan and the General of Shence. Li Siye is the Marquis of Zhongyong and the General of Shenwu. Zhang Tong is the Marquis of Qingning and the General of Yulin."

    "Canonize An Sishun as the Commander-in-Chief of the Army of Jiannan."

    "Cheng Qianli canonized as the Commander-in-Chief of the Beiting Army."

    "The commander-in-chief of Anton's army is led by Guo Ziyi."

    Zhang Xuan has completed the canonization of most of the important "posts" of civil and military officials, including a group of confidants who followed him in the army. They have all been awarded corresponding titles and official positions. Li Jiang, who takes care of his confidants and old ministers, can be said to be happy.

    And this is exactly the result Zhang Xuan wants.

    The confidants who joined him in raising troops must be rewarded first. These are the founding fathers of the country, and they must also hold important power for Zhang Xuan.Li: As for old ministers like Ge Shuhan, Zhang Xuan cannot treat him lightly, and he must be equal to a bowl of water to a certain extent.

    Next, Chen Xilie led his team of prime ministers to work overtime day and night to allocate personnel for various departments and offices of the imperial court to put them into operation as soon as possible. Needless to say, everything was complicated and busy.

    At the same time, Chen Xilie also led his ministers to handle the matter of moving the capital to Luoyang, which was no small matter.

    As for Guo Ziyi, under Zhang Xuan's instruction, he began to reorganize and adjust the world's troops.

    Pugu Huaien led 40,000 Feibao troops and 20,000 Fan Yang surrender troops to guard Fan Yang, so no adjustments were made.  Zhang Xuan planned to deploy the Shence Army, Shenwu Army and the Flying Tiger Army under Guo Ziyi on the front line of Kyoto as the capital's guard force and the emperor's personal soldiers. Together with Zhang Tong's Yulin Guard, these troops totaled nearly ten  Thousands of people.

    And the other troops and horses, those from Hexi returned to Hexi, those from Longshuo returned to Longshuo, and those deployed to Henan or Lianghuai also set off immediately.
