After all, they are people who have read books.
After struggling for a long time, Lu Xu came up with the third method, which was to choose representative things to name the country.
for example:
The Liao Kingdom established by the Khitan took the name Bintie and chose its strength to symbolize the consolidation of the country's rule.
The area near the capital of the Jin Dynasty was named after "Jin" because it was rich in gold.
…
Just like this, along this line of thinking, Lu Xu thought about it alone for a long time.
It's a pity that for a long time, apart from the above ideas, I had no other clues.
Therefore, Lu Xu simply stopped worrying and decided to go back and ask his precious son Lu Li and the officials of the Ministry of Rites for their opinions.
Industry specializing in surgery.
These guys rely on gifts, so it's impossible that they can't think of anything, right?
In fact, in order to show their own value, the officials of the Ministry of Rites are currently having internal discussions on how to select a new national title.
Among them, some people think that the meaning of auspicious words or prophecies can be used to determine the name of the country!
This is slightly different from Lu Xu's idea, but it is still roughly the same.
There is no way, in the eyes of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, the rise of the Henan Hou lineage is indeed very short, and it is not as good as those ancient families that have been passed down for thousands of years.
In addition, the previous dynasty was established by a foreign race, wars broke out frequently, people left their hometowns, and many classics, especially genealogies, were destroyed, making it difficult to ascertain where the ancestor of the Lu family originated.
Therefore, the most orthodox method of using the place of residence of ancestors to determine the country's name obviously does not work.
Of course, Lu Li could solve the problem easily. You must know that the clone of King Minngling has the book of life and death. It is easy to find out who his ancestors are in this world.
"Servant, I think it is better to refer to the Qi of the Southern Dynasty and the Yuan of the previous dynasty."
"It is recorded in "The Biography of Cui Zusi in Volume 28 of the Southern Qi Dynasty" that at the beginning of the Song Dynasty, it was proposed to confer the title of Duke of Liang to Taizu. Zusiqi Taizu said in a prophecy that: 'The golden sword and the sharp blade will cut it all together'. Now it is appropriate to call it Qi to fulfill the destiny." .”
"Another example is the name of the Yuan Dynasty. Kublai Khan adopted the suggestion of Liu Bingzhong, the eunuch, and took the meaning of "Da Zai Qian Yuan" in the "Yi" and changed it from Mongolian to Yuan."
Inside the official office of the Ministry of Rites.
There was a young official in green robe who was boasting.
But the minister sitting on the main seat shook his head and said frankly: "Forget it, it's not appropriate to put the heavenly induction on that person."
As he spoke, he pointed to the sky.
People all over the world are saying that Lu Li is the reincarnation of Greedy Wolf Star. Therefore, he is different from the previous emperors who established their authority by spreading rumors and creating miracles.
The Minister of Rites believed that there was no need to do anything extra. Maybe the deity who descended to earth had already thought of a country name that was in line with his destiny.
In a word, no one dares to guarantee that he knows the number of days better than the gods.
"In this case, let's choose Chu."
The Minister of Rites considered it for a moment and gave a satisfactory answer, which not only had room for maneuver but also demonstrated the presence of the Ministry of Rites.
"Kicking it around, the ball came back to me."
At the same time, Lu Li opened his eyes with his eyes closed.
The entire Jinling City is under his surveillance, and he is aware of his father's murmurs and the exchanges of officials from the Ministry of Rites.
To be honest, Lu Li himself was a little indifferent to the title of Chu State.
It is not related to the overlapping of the national names established by the ancients.
In fact, in Chinese history, there were many dynasties that shared the country's title.
In particular, the characters Zhou, Qin, Han, Wei, Jin and Tang have been repeatedly used as country names many times.
For example, Liu Bei, who established his capital in Shu during the Three Kingdoms period, had the name of Han. Leaving aside the latecomers, there was the Eastern Han Dynasty founded by Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and the Western Han Dynasty resurrected by Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu.
Taking the Zhou Dynasty as an example again, the Ji family of the Pre-Qin Dynasty first founded the Zhou Kingdom, then Zi Wenjue established the Northern Zhou Dynasty during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Wu Zetian established the Wu Zhou Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty, followed by Guo Wei in the Five Dynasties, Zhang Shicheng in the late Yuan Dynasty, and even Wu Sangui in the Qing Dynasty also tried to establish the Zhou Dynasty.
Among these common national titles, the most representative one is the Qin Dynasty. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Ying Qin and the rest of the Sixth Dynasty unified the world and established the first feudal dynasty in China.
Later, Xue Ju established Qin in the late Sui Dynasty and early Tang Dynasty. During the Sixteen Kingdoms period, Fu Jian followed suit and founded the Qin State. The same was true for Yao Jiang, Qifu Guoren and others.
In the same way, Lu Li can definitely choose Chu as his country's name, and this makes sense in terms of etiquette and law——
The Marquis of Henan is a title given to the ancestor Lu Ju. According to the rule of determining the country's title based on the title, Chu, Han, and Wei are all acceptable.
In addition, the descendants of the Lu family lived in Jinling for generations after ascending to the throne. This place also belonged to the Chu State in the pre-Qin era.
In addition, the Chu State has a deeper historical heritage and a higher status than other vassal states.
First of all, it was a vassal state recognized by the Emperor of Zhou, but it was established earlier than the Zhou Dynasty, and even later than its demise. It lived for 892 years. Such an astonishing lifespan of a country can be said to be proud of the world!
Secondly, Chu State was one of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period. It once aspired to dominate the Central Plains. During the Warring States Period, it was the only one among the Seven Warring States States that could compete head-on with Qin.
Finally, since Zhou and Chu, there have been Zhang Chu founded by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in the late Qin Dynasty, Western Chu founded by Xiang Yu, a descendant of the Chu state, Han Xin, the first king of Chu in the Western Han Dynasty, and Huan Xuan, a powerful family member in the late Eastern Jin Dynasty who forced Emperor Jin'an to surrender to him. Huan Chu...there are precedents to follow.
From this, it is not difficult to see that these officials in the Ministry of Rites do have some skills.
However, Lu Li just couldn't like this country name, and felt that it was not that interesting.
"What do you think of the country name 'New'?"
Looking at the busy traffic ahead and the ancient city that was several times more prosperous than before, a word suddenly flashed across Lu Li's mind, as if on a whim, and the more he thought about it, the more appropriate it seemed to him.
below.
The Niu Demon, who was about to fly over the top of Jinling City to avoid disturbing the people, was stunned for a moment and thought to himself:
It's such a serious matter. Why do you ask me, an old cow who has never seen the world, what to do?
However, since the master asked the question, the Bull Demon would definitely answer.
It paused, stayed in place and thought seriously for a long time. Finally, it squeezed out a suitable word from the poor vocabulary library, and said with a loud voice:
“Everything is new, it’s great!”
One yuan begins again, and everything is renewed.
The word "new" is perfectly suitable to be used in the matter of ending troubled times and changing dynasties.
Seeing that his idea was recognized, Lu Li couldn't help but smile on his face. Soon, he will create a new dynasty. Whether it is the human world or the underworld, whether it is a living person, a ghost, a demon, or a god, they are all at the center of the dynasty. under rule.
"It can be regarded as the first time in history."
"Let's go back home."
After speaking, Lu Li rubbed the Bull Demon's head.
Aware of his master's state of mind, the Bull Demon took off without any hesitation and jumped high into the air. The next time he fell to the ground, he would reach the open space in the garden of the Hou Mansion.
First discuss the business with his father, and then talk in detail with Zhiqiu Yiye, a Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain and representative of the Kunlun Sect.
After these things are completed, the civil and military officials can be informed to prepare for the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, officially overthrowing the Ming Dynasty and establishing a new order.
