Chapter 875: The King of Han
"The country's name is Han." Wu Nian replied without thinking.
Of course he knew that, in private, many people called him the King of Yan and the King of Liaodong. Then the country's name could of course be designated as the Kingdom of Yan or the Kingdom of Liao.
But Wu Nian doesn't like these two words.
Among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, Yan State competed with South Korea for the last place. The country's national strength was too weak and not strong enough to be worthy of him.
As for the Liao Kingdom.
Wu Nian felt strange.
If he ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor in the future, he will be named Taizu after his death.
Wouldn’t that make him Wu Nian, the Taizu of the Liao Kingdom?
no.
It's the country's name.
You can choose anything. Since he started his career as Yan Han, why not call himself King of Han?
Immediately, Wu Nian replied one by one: "The queen has appointed Mrs. Liu as her legitimate wife, and the son regards his mother as the noblest one. She has appointed my eldest son Wu Yu as the crown prince."
"The official positions and grades of the civil and military officials are based on the state of Chu, with slight modifications."
"The meritorious officials and heroes all have great achievements. Depending on the merit, high or low, they will be given titles, elixirs and iron certificates, and they will be hereditary."
"Let Liu Zhixing discuss it with the officials. Once it's done, just present it to me for viewing and confirmation."
"But there is one thing. It is Liu Zhixing who deserves the most credit for me, Wu Nian, to be where I am today."
"As for the capital city." At this point, Wu Nian hesitated, raised his head and asked everyone: "Would it be better to build it in Jiang County? Or should it be built in the capital?"
Cui Wushuang couldn't wait to clasp his fists and replied: "General, I think it is better to establish it in the capital. The palaces, palaces and yamen are all available here. If the imperial court is established in the capital, it will save a lot of time."
"General Qi. I also think that the capital city is good. Goguryeo is located in the rear area. It can be attacked when advancing and defended when retreating. It is the foundation of the overlord."
Not to be outdone, Gongsun Sang puffed up his sleeves and said.
"General, I thought it would be better to stay in Jiang County. The people of Liaodong are attached to it, which is the foundation." Wang Youxiao thought for a while and said.
Their opinions were all considered by Wu Nian over and over again, but he was unable to make a decision. In short, each has his or her own merits.
However, Wu Nian knew that Cui Wushuang's thoughts were not pure. He simply wanted to establish the capital in his hometown.
"Where are you two?" Wu Nian turned his head and looked at Li Yunchong and Zhao Mancheng.
Zhao Mancheng said: "General, if we advance, we will establish it in Jiang County. If we defend our country, we will establish our capital in the capital."
"I agree with General Zhao. Goguryeo is thousands of miles fertile and fertile, and has the foundation of an overlord. But it is located in a corner. If the capital is built here, people will feel at ease."
"On the contrary, if the capital is established in Jiang County, both civil and military officials will feel the general's determination."
"It will also be convenient to send troops to Huanglong Mansion, Meng Yuan, and Chu State in the future."
Li Yunchong nodded, cupped his fists and saluted.
Cui Wushuang was a little embarrassed.
Wu Nianxiao glanced at the two of them, nodded and said, "Okay. Let's establish the capital in Jiang County."
Seeing this, Wang Youxiao asked again: "What should we do with the yamen, royal palaces, and palaces in the capital of Goguryeo? How will Jiang County be built?"
"Just change the General Fu Han and simply repair it. I am not very interested in the magnificent palace. Besides, when the Chu capital is conquered in the future, I will naturally move the capital to Chu capital." Wu Nian responded.
Waving his hands, he didn't care.
"Excuse me. The royal palace is the face of a country. For example, if barbarians from other countries come to court, they will look down upon us when they see that our palace is simple and crude."
Wang Youxiao shook his head and said solemnly.
Wu Nian looked at him and asked with a smile: "Is it true that Liu Zhixing already has a draft?"
"General Shengming." Wang Youxiao clasped his fists again, and then said: "Liu Changshi said that since the capital is set up in Jiang County, there is no need for Goguryeo's royal palace and palace to exist."
"1. The old officials of Goguryeo may cause trouble when they see things and think about things."
"2. Keeping the palace requires huge maintenance costs."
"What Mr. Liu means is that we can build another inner city in the north of Jiang County. The Goguryeo Palace can be demolished and the entire city moved there."
"After the palace is demolished, it can also be built in Liaodong. Or the ancestral temple can be built and the ancestral tombs can be repaired."
"By the way, there are also various ministries and yamen, which can also be relocated as a whole."
Wu Nian couldn't help but feel troubled after listening to Wang Youxiao's words.
In modern times, there is a thing called an RV. You can drive to and live wherever you go. But moving a palace, a palace, or a government office is not a matter of traveling in an RV.
How much people and material resources will this cost?
But after thinking about it carefully, Wu Nian felt that what Wang Youxiao said made sense.
The palace is the face of the country.
We cannot build a grassroots team and let foreign barbarians laugh at us.
It is good to be diligent and thrifty, but you cannot save money.
"Okay. Everything is in accordance with Liu Zhixing's wishes." Wu Nian nodded after thinking for a long time.
"Yes." Wang Youxiao responded with a meticulous clasped fist.
That's all the general things. But founding a country is not an easy task, and there are many other details.
It must be expanded upon.
Before unfolding, Wu Nian pointed to Cui Wushuang with a smile and said to Wang Youxiao and Gongsun Sang: "This Mr. Cui has a family background. Regarding the enthronement and etiquette, I mainly explained Mr. Cui. After returning to Liaodong,
, you can discuss it later."
"Yes." Wang Youxiao, Gongsun Sang, and Cui Wushuang responded with their hands raised.
Everyone talked together, time passed quickly, and they had dinner together, and they still hadn't reached an agreement until late at night. There was no other way. We had to continue talking tomorrow.
Wu Nian asked his guards to send Gongsun Sang and Wang Youxiao to live in Guanyi. Surrounded by everyone, Wu Nian returned to the harem.
But there are two places to go in the harem.
Empress Dowager Li, Eqin and Eniang sisters.
Wu Nian remembered his conversation with Wang Youxiao during the day, and first sent a eunuch to notify Li Jinzhu, and then walked slowly along the road to Li Jinzhu's palace.
From a distance, Wu Nian saw Li Jinzhu dressed up, leading the eunuchs and maids to greet him in front of the palace gate.
Wu Nian smiled and shook his head.
The Queen Mother, who listens to politics behind the curtain, is very capable of bending and stretching.
Wu Nian came to the palace gate. Li Jinzhu blessed him with a happy face, and said softly: "General, the bath water has been filled. Please allow me to wait for the general to bathe and change clothes."
"Yeah." Wu Nian hummed and stepped into the palace gate. Like a kitten, Li Jinzhu took light steps and caught up with Wu Nian and hugged Wu Nian's arm. After entering the palace, Li Jinzhu immediately gently helped Wu
Nian undressed and took off his belt, and with the help of four palace maids, he waited for Wu Nian to take a bath.
But it was very inconvenient to wear fancy clothes. She simply took off her clothes herself, leaving only her white underwear to wait for Wu Nian to bathe.
"General, I have something to do," Li Jinzhu said suddenly.
Wu Nian frowned slightly, thinking again of his conversation with Wang Youxiao.
This woman doesn’t want to interfere in government affairs, does she?
Wu Nian didn't want her to cause trouble, so he made it clear: "If it's a state matter, it's better not to speak."
"It's not a state matter." Li Jinzhu's face turned pale and she shook her head repeatedly.
How dare she mention state affairs? Isn't that asking for death? Because of fear, she took a few deep breaths and calmed down, then said more cautiously: "I'm happy."
