The Xia Dynasty was founded!
Although the news was released last winter, the war situation had not yet been determined. Although many places were not harmed by the four-nation coalition, they were still in chaos due to the involvement of the war.
Even if there are no well-known rebel forces such as the White Lotus Sect and Huang Tianjun, there are countless rebels who dominate the mountain. The so-called collapse of the world is by no means a simple empty talk.
And more than half a year passed, with the surrender of the Four Nations Allied Forces, various supplies were transported from the Four Nations, and even people from the Four Nations began to help sort out the damage caused after the Yuan River burst its banks, only then did these former Otsuki people finally be willing to believe it. , the war actually ended in an unexpected way.
The nightmare that had haunted them for nearly ten years was finally shattered.
After more than half a year of exaggeration, and even after the newly appointed Mohist giant Qin Lisheng took the Mohists to the various states and directly beheaded the rebels who were still dreaming of splitting the land and sealing the borders, many people have understood it. General trend.
Regardless of whether it was judged by virtue or measured by strength, apart from the Mo family, Dayue could no longer find anyone he could fight with.
The White Lotus Sect corrected its evil ways and Huang Tianjun was completely wiped out.
The Mohist family is the most powerful one, and Mo Qiutan has the reputation of being a born saint, and the people's hearts are fully restored.
When the vast majority of people accept this reality, the time for the founding of the country has arrived.
If we really want to talk about whether Wang Mang and others are ready - it is definitely not the case. No amount of preparation is enough to manage the world. More than half a year is not enough for them to be truly ready to take over the world.
But we can’t drag it any further.
Since the Dayue Imperial Family was exterminated by the White Lotus Cult Master, there has been no one in the world to give orders. As time goes by, the officials in various places who could barely support themselves have become more and more unscrupulous. Although they are not emperors, they are better than emperors.
Without discipline and punishment, they dare to do no matter how outrageous things they do.
Every extra day of waiting means that some people continue to indulge for another day.
Xia Chao wasted no time in establishing it, just to tell those people that there would be a pair of eyes staring at them, and if they dared to act unscrupulously, they might be liquidated!
Talents can be slowly gathered, and the people can be educated carefully. There is no one backbone, and it depends entirely on people's consciousness to maintain order. That's really not possible!
So, September has just passed and it’s the first day of October.
The founding ceremony of the Xia Dynasty was officially held!
In the imperial capital, there are huge crowds of people, rubbing shoulders with each other.
On both sides of the road, human walls formed by soldiers guarded the streets to prevent overly excited people from running around and causing irreversible chaos.
As early as a while ago, when the news spread, many people traveled thousands of miles to see the founding ceremony.
There were also many knight-errants from other prefectures and counties who heard about the reputation of the Mo family, admired Mo Qiu's virtues, and traveled all the way to the imperial capital.
There were more knights, and the number of quarrels and fights in the imperial capital also increased greatly. It was no joke that knights used force to break the law, let alone those who did things based on their passion. It was common for good intentions to fail.
But no matter what, on this day of universal celebration, countless people are still squatting on both sides of the road eagerly. Some people have not slept all night, waiting on both sides of the road, for fear of missing a good spot and not being able to see the true face of the saint.
Mo Qiu's reputation has reached an unprecedented level at this time.
After all, the reason why the four-nation coalition forces retreated and made compensation was because they admired Mo Qiu's virtue.
If your enemies admire you so much, would it be appropriate if your own people don't praise you harshly?
Many people feel that even the title of saint in this world is not enough, and are trying to figure out what other name to give him to express their admiration.
Only a very few people know that the first emperor of the Xia Dynasty, which is about to be established today, is not Mo Qiu, but Wang Mang.
Even Wang Mang himself never mentioned this matter when he sent people to promote it.
So much so that many people thought that their future emperor would be a saint who was so highly regarded that even his enemies would flee and apologize.
In fact, the vast majority of people don't even know what Mo Qiu has done. Even if they can say a few words, it is because it has been spread so widely that it has been distorted and exaggerated. The army suppressed the four countries at a snap and dared to appear. That is no longer the virtue of a saint, but the birth of a real immortal.
Putting aside these ridiculous rumors, people naturally have their own thoughts.
No matter how outrageous the various stories about Mo Qiu spread, the central idea will never change.
Mo Qiu loves the people very much.
Love more than all.
So he's a good guy.
It's really that simple.
It's better for a good person to be the emperor than for a bad person to be the emperor, right?
This is the real reason that drives them to come and see. They hope that after the nightmare war is gone, they can usher in a peaceful and happy life in the new land.
In such a lively and celebrated day, the expression on Wang Mang's face did not appear to be very exciting. On the contrary, he was particularly solemn.
He was wearing a black dragon robe, without any extra decoration at all. He was tall and tall, riding in a dragon chariot drawn by six horses. He was about to start touring the imperial capital and meet the people.
White Lotus Saint - oh no, she should be called the Queen of Xia Dynasty at this time. Xu Wanrong was dressed in a rich dress and stood beside the dragon chariot. After noticing the expression on Wang Mang's face, she said softly: "Wang Lang, are you nervous? "
When the emperor was about to inspect a party, the queen came up to chat, which was somewhat inconsistent with etiquette. However, when the Xia Dynasty was first established, the new rules and regulations were not even mentioned, and everything temporarily followed the previous Dayue system - as for you Ask about something that doesn’t fit the bill?
If it doesn’t meet the requirements, we are ready to change it. What do you think?
"I'm not nervous."
Wang Mang shook his head. He was not used to calling me or "I" for the time being, and there was no need to do so in front of extremely familiar people. "I just think that when the people know that the first emperor of the Xia Dynasty was not Mozi, they should What a disappointment.”
Xu Wanrong was silent for a moment.
There are some people in this world who cannot be compared to, and just looking up at them makes people feel ashamed.
Mozi is like this, and so is Mr. Gu.
It's just that Mozi appeared in front of others and wanted to restore morality in the world; Mr. Gu had a weak temperament and didn't like to keep his name, so not many people know what he did.
Even if she is the person closest to Wang Mang now, there is no way to say that if Wang Mang works hard, he will be able to match Mo Zi or even surpass Mo Zi.
This kind of thing is not what you say. It only counts if the people say it on their own initiative.
"Wang Mang can live up to Mozi's moral principles and live up to Mr. Gu's expectations, that's all."
Xu Wanrong thought for a while and said.
"I know."
Wang Mang nodded lightly, "I will do it well."
After a moment of pause, Wang Mang's voice became more firm, "I will definitely do it well!"
A shout came from the distance.
"The auspicious time has come!"
The wheels of the emperor's dragon chariot roll.
The first emperor of the Xia Dynasty was about to meet with his people.
On this absolutely happy day, the imperial capital was also decorated.
There are a lot of flowers of all kinds. After all, it is a new country. Even if you want to follow the Mohist philosophy of "frugal use", you will not choose today.
This is not extravagance, but it shows the momentum of the Xia Dynasty, gives confidence to the people, and tells them that the new country will be more powerful, and it is not just for appearance.
But what many people don't understand is that it is normal to have flowers and colorful decorations.
What’s unusual is that there are still a lot of white flowers!
Those white flowers account for half of the colorful flowers. They are not only competing in the same family, they are simply the only one in the family!
The problem is that in addition to representing purity, white flowers are more often used at funerals.
Since it is the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China, we should avoid such "implications" or bad omens. How can it be so eye-catching that it occupies half of the ceremony?
I am puzzled and can only think that Mozi is a person who does not stick to trivial matters.
When the emperor's dragon chariot walked down the street, the people on both sides of the street cheered almost boilingly. The soldiers who had been prepared in advance pushed up a human wall to stop the overly excited people.
The emperor has already spoken. The people who came to attend the Founding Hall today do not need to kneel down. This has caused them a lot of trouble.
After all, the kneeling person must stand up if he wants to make any move, which gives them an early warning preparation.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
"Saint! Is that a saint?!"
"Mozi! Mozi!"
All kinds of names were sounded one after another, which seemed a bit small when compared with the loud voices. Those shouting voices were so loud that they were so loud that they made people's ears numb.
Wang Mang's expression on the dragon chariot did not change at all, and he kept waving to greet the people of the Xia Dynasty.
With his kind response, the boiling voice became louder and louder.
Gradually, the titles that the people shouted were strangely unified.
He is no longer the aloof emperor, nor is he the more private Mozi.
But, a saint!
"saint!"
"saint!"
"saint!"
The sound of mountains roaring and tsunami gathered into a torrent, resounding throughout the heaven and earth.
After all, the people watching today must not have seen many people from Moqiu. Most of them heard about it and came to pay their respects.
Even they themselves don't know whether the person sitting on the dragon chariot is Mo Qiu - but Mo Qiu is so powerful, it should be him sitting on the dragon chariot. This is what most people think, and that's why. Cheering and cheering, unabashedly.
Listening to the continuous cheers, the expression on Wang Mang's face was a little bitter, and he secretly warned himself that he must remember today.
Let’s see what the emperor is like that the people expect, and what the emperor who can make the people so excited should be like.
He was riding on the reputation of the Mo family and Brother Gu's Dongfeng ascended to power. If he couldn't do everything well, he would be sorry for these cheering people and the expectations of countless people.
He himself will never forgive himself.
Wang Mang corrected his attitude, and he greeted the shouting people more and more enthusiastically. The voice never fell down along the way.
When the dragon chariot finally arrived at the new palace, it was already noon.
This new palace was not built, nor did it follow the old palace of Dayue, but directly chose the location of Wanshou Immortal Palace - since then, there has been another palace built on the mountain.
But even though he was far away, Wang Mang could still hear the people's surging cheers. Even though he knew the emperor had left, he still refused to stop, venting the excitement and joy in his heart.
In front of the assembled civil and military officials, Wang Mang sat on the throne.
All the officials bowed their heads and saluted.
"Meet my emperor!"
In the majestic hall, the voices of the ministers were high-pitched.
There were not only Qin Lisheng, Gong Shangguo and others, but also people like Xia Zhangsi who were enemies in the past.
Wang Mang, who was already Emperor Xia, raised his hand slightly and looked around.
"I love you so much, so I can live without ceremony."
When the voice fell, Wang Mang's voice paused slightly, and then said: "The Xia Dynasty has just been established. It still needs you to forge ahead and jointly support the country and the country. I have low morals and established the position of emperor. I am not worthy of my name. I still need to do something good. We can’t let the people down!”
Without giving the officials time to speak, Wang Mang said without stopping: "I will confer the Mohist school as the state religion, and the current Mohist giant Qin Lisheng as the state teacher! I hope the state teacher will not live up to the morality of the Mohist family, and hope that the Xia Dynasty will live up to the people. expect!"
This was Wang Mang's first order after becoming the Dabao.
The composition of the Xia Dynasty has been fully explained.
In the coming time, Xia Chao will do its best to implement the principles of Mohism!
After hundreds of officials were canonized one after another, a ceremonial official shouted loudly: "The Xia Dynasty has just been established, and all the countries congratulate you. Please pray, Dayong, Daqing, and Dayue."
After a series of registrations, guests from all over the world walked out one after another.
Emperor Daqi, Emperor Da Yong, Emperor Da Qing, Emperor Dai Viet. They have all arrived, but their titles need to be added with a prefix, predecessor.
"Big prayer, pray for the dragon to pay homage to Emperor Xia."
Qi Yinglong, who had completed the edict of sinner and resigned from the position of emperor, took the lead to step forward and bowed in salute.
Beside him, the accompanying officials immediately handed over Daqi's gift.
His gifts were rich and generous to the best of his ability.
"No gift."
Wang Mang nodded slightly, naturally understanding the reason why Daqi gave these gifts and who he was honoring.
"In addition to these gifts, I also have an unkind request, which I hope Emperor Xia can agree to."
Qi Yinglong looked around, but did not find the figure he expected to see in the crowd. A look of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and then he covered it up and spoke seriously.
"But it doesn't matter."
Wang Mang said calmly.
"I pray that among the princes, there is one who is quick-thinking and admires the virtues of Mohism and Mozi very much. I hope that he can come to your country to study for a few years so that he can admire morality. After returning home, he will act in accordance with morality and benefit the people. I hope Emperor Xia will fulfill his wishes."
Qi Yinglong said sincerely.
Wang Mang stared at the former Emperor Daqi silently.
This is a drunkard who is not interested in drinking!
It is indeed ingenious to please someone in this way.
Maybe he hopes to use this to get in touch with Brother Gu and build a good relationship.
"Can."
Wang Mang nodded slightly, understanding the other party's thoughts, but did not refuse.
Gu Dan opened up a great situation for him, but it was up to him how to manage it.
