The minister advised Jin that as the lord, in theory, he should complete the convention of "three concessions three times", even if it is a performance, after all, it is for the world to see.
However, Hong Kang did not engage in these vain so-called "traditions" and directly responded. At the same time, he summoned all the civil and military personnel under his command to discuss the matter of the country's title.
Someone said: "My lord Long Pan Yangzhou wants to seize control of the southeast, so it is better to use "Wu" as the country's name."
Others echoed: "The land of Wu and Yue? Da Wu~? It's not impossible..."
"This is a big fallacy!"
Some people strongly objected.
"According to what this colleague said, why not use "Yue" as the nickname?!"
"But this is not the reason for my objection. If "Wu" is used as the country's name, it will not be conducive to my lord's ambition to conquer the world."
"There was also the Kingdom of Wu before, but it was just in a corner..."
Zhuge Wolong agreed with this statement.
"My lord, if you use "Wu" as your country name, you can certainly win the support of the people in the southeast, but this kind of regional country name is indeed too targeted and may be used by people with malicious intentions."
Hong Kang naturally understands this truth.
Regional discrimination has existed since ancient times.
And he doesn't need the political assets that come with this kind of territoriality.
He walks the high road, cultivates the way of heaven, supports the way of humanity, is upright and upright, and carries the great trend.
""Yun Ci" says: Great is the Qian Yuan Dynasty, when all things come into being, they unite the sky. The clouds move and the rain flows, and the material flows."
"How about doing it in the name of doing it?!"
As soon as this suggestion came out, everyone's eyes lit up.
"Da Gan? Da Gan?......"
Someone kept repeating Didi Gu.
This word "Qian" does not have regional discrimination.
Moreover, Qian is the head and Kun is the belly. Qian Gua represents the origin, function and life function of everything in the universe. It created everything in the universe.
At the same time, its second concept is "to rule the sky." The Qian hexagram includes celestial bodies, and the entire universe is within the scope of Qian. Qian rules the heaven, earth, and universe, which symbolizes that they will become the orthodoxy of the world.
But not everyone likes it.
Someone said: "Then, why not use the word "ming"?"
"At the end of the Ming Dynasty, six people came into being, riding on six dragons to control the sky."
"The sun and the moon are bright, illuminating the world, and all the dark places in the world are always bright..."
But before this person finished speaking, someone jumped out and yelled.
"shut up!
"
"My lord, this person is talking nonsense and intends to provoke discord among His Majesty. Please punish him."
When the man heard this, he didn't know what was going on at first. After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat and knew that he had made a big mistake.
Part of the reason he made this suggestion was because he didn't like the name "Daqian". More importantly, he couldn't stand the person who proposed the name "Daqian".
However, he forgot that in the [Taiping Dao], there was a "Ming Zun" living in the "Da Ming Palace". He openly proposed to use the name "Da Ming" in front of his lord. Doesn't it show that he has second thoughts~? !
As soon as he thought of this, he immediately panicked and apologized.
"My lord, I dare to swear, I have no such intention! I..."
Hong Kang interrupted him with a slight smile.
"I understand what Mr. Li is thinking. Mr. Li doesn't need to worry."
The aura of peace and tranquility unfolded, infecting everyone present, making everyone feel much calmer.
Without him, this important matter of "agreeing on the name of the country" cannot be disputed by everyone.
Not only can it greatly enhance one's status in the heart of the lord, but it can also be remembered in the annals of history and spread throughout the world. Wouldn't it be wonderful~!
This kind of thing does not require Hong Kang to sense everyone's emotions mentally, because all the civil and military officials have it written on their faces.
but.
Firstly, Hong Kang does not need to consider the legitimacy of the political power; secondly, he is not interested in the "destiny theory" such as the rotation of destiny, yin and yang and the five elements, and the interaction between heaven and man.
The concept he promoted in [Taipingdao] has always been to revolutionize heaven and obey the destiny, and man to conquer nature.
"mysterious."
“It’s named after ‘Da Xuan’.”
Hong Kang directly assigned the name of the country.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone cheered loudly.
"Okay~! My lord, what you said is so wonderful!"
"The so-called "Xuan" means far away. The sky is mysterious, the earth is yellow, and the black and red ones are called Xuanxiang."
"Xuanxiang, celestial phenomena are also...!"
Then there is a large section of quotations from scriptures, which are endless, from ancient Luan scripts to modern classics, from the historical significance, Taoist and humanistic influence, analyzing the benefits of the word "Xuan" in Hongkang from shallow to deep.
The civil and military officials looked at his still eloquent officials with different expressions, some were contemptuous, some admired, some were silent...
When Zhuge Wolong heard this voice, he shook his head slightly in his heart: "This person is flattering and will never change his nature!"
This person was the original prefect of Jinhua.
It can be said that this person is also courageous. After recognizing the difference in strength between the two sides, the first thing he took Sun Qingzhi to raid was his own home, which left Sun Qingzhi stunned.
Then, relying on his professional abilities in finance and taxation, he helped [Taipingdao] do a lot of practical things, and just like that, he got in all the way.
After Hong Kang found out, he told Zhuge Wolong:
"If this person is capable enough and abides by our laws, don't target him specifically because of the previous incident."
Speaking of which, it's not like Zhuge Wolong has never interacted with this person.
For example, things to do before launching an army.
"Da Xuan? Da Xuan?!"
Some people secretly wonder if it has something to do with the lord's title of "Xuan Zun".
But they can only keep these conjectures in their stomachs, and there is no way they can let their lord explain to them and others!
………………
Now that the country’s name has been decided.
Then Hong Kang left all the preparations for the founding of the country to Zhuge Wolong.
Then, after making a process plan, you can make your own decision.
Zhuge Wolong and others inquired about the ancient rites, began to build the palace, built the ancestral temple, and established the state. He ordered the official to seal the land, control the suburbs, perform Duan Jing Shu, mark the road, level the five powers, compare the five measures, and determine the five degrees;
A series of activities were carried out to found the country, such as establishing official titles, establishing titles, regulating Lu, and coordinating music; composing rituals for suburban temples, communities, pilgrimages, and banquets; making armillary spheres, studying astronomical phenomena, and so on.
The people in Yangzhou also knew the news. Some were decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, some were happy, some were proud, and some were full of enthusiasm...
The content prepared by Zhuge Wolong and others is extremely rich, and the form is well documented. It can be described as a big show!
So, after almost a month of preparation, it still hasn’t been completed.
This extremely cumbersome process made Hong Kang's eyes jump, but Zhuge Wolong and others enjoyed it.
In the end, Hong Kang quickly stopped a large part of the process that he considered useless and redundant, and told him to keep it simple.
But even so, Zhuge Wolong insisted not to delete some links.
For example: carry out comprehensive overhauls of various buildings and facilities in the Temple of Heaven; write the blessings on the blessing board; make corresponding sacrifices and organize the sacrificial vessels in the gods' treasury; prepare the vessels and various materials used for the sacrifices. There are more than 700 kinds of ritual vessels...
There is a blessing eucalyptus on the south side of the central stone on the upper floor, and Hong Kang's worship seat is located directly south of the upper and middle platforms.
On the east and west sides of the steps just south of the Circular Mound Altar, there are 16 kinds of chimes, chimes, and bells, etc., and Zhonghe Shao music composed of more than 60 musical instruments, neatly arranged, solemn and spectacular...
As for the auspicious day of the zodiac, Zhuge Wolong originally wanted to ask the book fairy to calculate it.
However, he received an order from Hong Kang: "Sir, there is no need to use semen. Just choose a sunny day."
After all, you can't perform a ceremony on a day when the wind is blowing and it's raining heavily.
Predicting the celestial phenomena in the next few days is not difficult for people like Hong Kang who are accomplished practitioners, especially those with a high spiritual level, who have the ability to "predict the coming times."
But now that they are respected as nobles and have many talents under their command, there is no need to make personal calculations.
Whether they are warlocks who study changes in celestial phenomena or some demons, they all have their own ability to read the sky and know the weather.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
………………
Jianhu Palace.
Pang Qingyang was doing the sword practice as usual, with an ancient green gold sword lying across his knees. The frost blade was white and the edge was restrained.
There are mysterious lines on the sword that appear and disappear, as if they are telling the principles of heaven and earth; no matter how carefully you feel them, they seem to be integrated with Pang Qingyang's whole body.
[Taiping Dao] exterminated many demons and ghosts, and their collections naturally fell into the hands of [Taiping Dao]. Although to Pang Qingyang today, those fragments and fragments are only really useful, especially since she focuses on swordsmanship. But some treasure-like things are more useful to her.
The essence of certain treasure materials with strange properties were directly absorbed by [Three Feet of Water] and used to strengthen themselves.
[Three Feet of Water] Nowadays, the sword spirit has been born, especially when it was opened by Pang Qingyang's own essence and blood. The sword spirit is like a newborn baby, and he is extremely tired of her.
Pang Qingyang naturally did not hesitate to strengthen this magical sword that had accompanied her through several worlds. To this end, she also found Yan Chixia and exchanged her own swordsmanship for the sword technique in his hand.
Among the sword techniques, the only thing that interested Pang Qingyang was the method of refining magic weapons.
After successfully refining [Three Feet of Water], Pang Qingyang could sense that he and the sword were closer to each other! ~
At the same time, [Three Feet of Water] now gradually has some unique abilities.
For example: the sword body can freely change its size, but currently it can only be enlarged about twice; a small inner space has spontaneously developed inside the sword body; the sword pattern is looming on the blade, and even if it is held by an ordinary person, it can be wielded with a sharp edge. Sword energy......
After finishing the swordsman's enlightenment, a red dress floated over.
"Lord, congratulations!"
Hong Lian swayed on her lotus steps and gently rubbed Pang Qingyang's shoulders.
"After so many years, you and Mr. Xuanzun are finally going to achieve enlightenment~!"
"Guren is so happy for you...!"
Pang Qingyang's heart froze, and then he said as if nothing happened:
"What are you talking about?!"
"There's no nonsense~!"
"Honglian, I heard that Lord Xuanzun is busy with the important matter of founding the country. Will Lord Xuanzun be the emperor in the future?!"
"If there is an emperor, there must be a queen, right!?"
"Even if Mr. Xuanzun wants to drag him away, Zhuge Wolong and the others will not just watch. They will definitely make repeated comments."
Although Pang Qingyang turned his back to Honglian, he could still see Honglian's movements and expressions.
The little head was slightly raised, and the confident look was like a proud red swan.
"Queen..."
Pang Qingyang doesn't care whether the queen is a queen or not. For practitioners like them, power and status that are valued by the world are not the most important thing.
Pang Qingyang followed Hong Kang through several worlds and had been together for almost two hundred years. The two had already understood each other's hearts and minds. They were close friends and Taoist companions. Pang Qingyang didn't particularly care about whether they were husband and wife or not. matter.
But what Honglian said today made her sword heart slightly tingle.
The inner lake that has been stable for more than a hundred years can't help but have a hint of expectation.
………………
On the first day of October, the sky is clear and the wind is gentle.
Seven moments before sunrise, the Temple of Heaven, ritual vessels, ritual music, sacrifices, and rituals are all arranged and arranged one by one. Soldiers, ceremony officers, honor guards, and all civil and military personnel were also lined up early.
In addition to the human race, some demons and ghosts under the command of [Taiping Dao] who can transform into normal human forms were also notified to come to watch the ceremony. Similarly, tens of thousands of people almost blocked the passage before dawn. Fortunately, Zhuge Wolong had already arranged for soldiers to maintain the scene...
Not only in Yangzhou, but also in nearby prefectures and counties, there are people who get the news and come here for unknown purposes.
"Dang~~~!"
As soon as the hour came, the Taihe Bell rang in the Blackwater Palace, and Hong Kang stood up. Today, he was dressed in a black dragon suit with a crown on his head, which was very different from his usual casual attire.
When we arrived at the Circular Mound Altar, the bells stopped and the drums started, marking the official start of the ceremony.
At this time, a calf is being burned in the southeast of the Circular Mound Altar, sky lanterns are hanging in the southwest, misty clouds are misty, and the candle shadow theater is shaking red, giving people a very mysterious feeling.
"Da da da………!"
The solemn, solemn, and uniform footsteps came. Just listening to the sound was like facing a rolling torrent of steel, unstoppable.
Hong Kang, who was dressed in a splendid attire, was serious and unsmiling. His invisible aura was connected to the aura of the surrounding soldiers, and a strong aura of majesty gradually spread towards the surroundings.
As he gradually approaches the Temple of Heaven, Hong Kang's own martial arts will seems to be undergoing wonderful changes, and a kind of hidden meaning is emanating, as high as the sky...
In the eyes of Zhuge Wolong and other people who are good at looking at Qi, there is a bright yellow dragon's Qi above Hong Kang's head. The dragon's Qi sometimes expands and sometimes shrinks, and then undergoes violent tumbling changes. A series of low dragon roars seem to be coming. Wu was whining, as if indicating that he was about to be born...
As Hong Kang's figure gets closer to the Temple of Heaven, the dragon's energy becomes more condensed...
Zhuge Wolong said loudly: "Play music!~"
Suddenly, the ritual and music team began to play loudly.
Hong Kang walked to the Temple of Heaven. The altar above was not a god. There were only two seal characters "Heaven and Earth" written on the main altar. The name of the god was written on the secondary altar. What was written was - Taiping Kaihua Zhensheng Miaodao Supreme Zhenzhen. The mysterious and high God.
This is how Hong Kang obtained the divine name for his Shinto body.
Therefore, he did not perform any ritual of kneeling three times and bowing nine times.
You can’t worship yourself! ~
As the ceremony progressed, the ritual music team changed from the initial "Jingping Chapter" to "Xianping Chapter" and "Fengping Chapter", and then in sequence, the music played "Jiaping Chapter", "Yongping Chapter" and "Yongping Chapter". "The Chapter of Ping", "The Chapter of Xiping", "The Chapter of Qingping"...
As time passed, golden light gradually began to shine in the sky. Under the layers of radiance, countless magnificent and beautiful celestial scenes were looming.
This was naturally Hong Kang's trick to increase the sense of mystery and wonder. It might be too much to say that it was to fool the people, just to create some auspicious scenes.
Seeing the sacrifices being sent to the furnace for burning, Hong Kang came to the burning position, and at the same time, the "Chapter of Peace" sounded.
Closing his eyes and feeling the music, the martial arts will in Hong Kang's heart soared to the sky, and he truly felt the general trend of destiny.
Using the [Little Thunder Sound Technique], Hong Kang's words spread far and wide.
"Today, Xuan Guo is established!"
As soon as the sound fell, the people suddenly roared and roared.
In an instant, the dragon energy above Hong Kang's head began to roll violently, boil and condense, like an egg. Not long after, with a majestic dragon roar, a dragon of luck snaked into shape.
………………
The emperor used his intelligence, martial arts, and aspiration to help the world and bring peace to the people. He took advantage of the opportunity, followed the heroes, suppressed chaos and destroyed the strong, studied etiquette and established music, revealed the meaning of the scriptures, respected righteous learning, added favor to the country, clarified the administration of officials, and cultivated human ethics. , set up guards and garrison in the fields, have enough troops and food, Wu will quell the chaos, and Wen will bring peace. On October 1st, the day of the Emperor's calendar, the founding of the country began.
"Taiping Baojuan·Apocalypse"
