When a husband and wife meet again after a long absence, one is dry wood and the other is fierce fire. When they are mixed together, it is the collision of dry wood and fierce fire.
Suddenly, there was thunder and lightning in the room, and heat waves rolled in. The bed, which was usually frighteningly quiet, began to creak under the load.
After a long time, everything calmed down.
Da Qiao leaned against Lu Xuan's body, a little shy, and her breathing was a little quick. It was true that a little farewell was better than a newlywed. She was still a little dizzy now. After a long while, the two of them washed up briefly before entering the palace.
say.
Lu Xuan and Da Qiao were talking, but they didn't go anywhere and stayed at Da Qiao's place.
After dinner in the evening, the child was taken down, and the two of them slept for a while. Lu Xuan got up early the next morning and went to the respective palaces of the girls to check out the situation.
For three consecutive days, Zhang Zhao did not come, but the government affairs were handled steadily without any impact.
Three days later, Lu Xuan began to handle state affairs without any desire or desire.
Zhang Zhao got the news and came early in the morning.
After Zhang Zhao saluted Lu Xuan, he said straight to the point: "Your Majesty, our Kingdom of Wu has unified the world, and the Han Dynasty has been destroyed. Next, we must prepare for the founding of the country. This matter cannot be delayed, otherwise it will cause people's hearts to wander. Please, Your Majesty
Mingjian.”
Lu Xuan looked calm and asked: "What did Zhang Qing think about it?"
Zhang Zhao said: "Currently, there are two main calls for the king to rule the world. The first is for the king to directly ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor; the second is for Liu Xie to take the Zen throne and transfer the orthodoxy of the Han family to the king.
Ascended to the throne and proclaimed himself emperor."
A flash of light flashed across Lu Xuan's eyes.
I didn’t expect that there was such a discussion?
It seems that there is not much difference between the two, but in fact the difference is quite big. If Lu Xuan founded his own country and proclaimed himself emperor, that would be his rightful ascension to the throne.
Liu Xie first abdicated and then Lu Xuan ascended the throne, which was equivalent to denying Lu Xuan's legitimacy, affirming Lu Xuan's identity as a Han Dynasty official, and even erasing Lu Xuan's contribution to conquering the world, as if Lu Xuan had usurped the throne.
There was a hint of coldness in Lu Xuan's eyes, and he asked in a deep voice: "Who are the people who suggest that I ascend the throne and proclaim myself emperor? And who are the people who suggest that Liu Xie be enthroned?"
Zhang Zhao was very sensitive to Lu Xuan's emotions. When he noticed the change in Lu Xuan's expression, Zhang Zhao knew that this matter had touched Lu Xuan's bottom line.
In fact, he also knows how to choose.
But what needs to be said still needs to be said.
These remnants of the Han Dynasty, even now that the Han Dynasty has died, still want to maintain the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty and give Liu Xie the Zen throne to Lu Xuan, which is obviously a bad intention.
Zhang Zhao replied: "Reporting to the king, the people who currently hope that Liu Xie will ascend the throne and the king will ascend the throne again are mainly Liu Biao and Liu Zhang. In addition, there are a few local scholars and unknown people who agree."
"These people are mainly trying to sensationalize themselves."
"I think this idea of first abdicating the throne and then ascending the throne is simply ridiculous. Your Majesty's unification of the world is not based on anyone's abdication. It was defeated by the King with one sword and one shot. It was regained by the Majesty after all the hard work. He cannot abdicate the throne.
"
Zhang Zhao said directly: "The Zen position is equivalent to gaining a country that is not righteous. I suggest that you found a country and call yourself emperor."
Lu Xuan said: "People like Liu Biao and Liu Zhang actually made such a fool of themselves. This king will handle this matter personally."
"Here!"
Zhang Zhao bowed and answered.
He changed the topic and continued: "If the king wants to ascend the throne and become emperor, he needs to choose a good time and auspicious day, and then sacrifice to the heaven and earth, and the ancestral temple and the country. I suggest that Zuo Ci come forward and choose a good time and auspicious day."
Lu Xuan nodded and ordered: "You can make arrangements for the good times and auspicious days. The name of the country of Wu needs to be changed."
Zhang Zhaodao: "Please tell me, Your Majesty."
Changing the country's name is not a big deal, as long as it is suitable. And Zhang Zhao roughly guessed the reason in an instant. It must be that the country's name of 'Wu' is too small.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the State of Wu was the overlord. It was once very powerful, but it was not a big country in the Central Plains.
Using Wu as the national title is not good enough.
Lu Xuan said directly: "For the choice of the country's name, I chose it from the Book of Changes. I used 'Ming' as the country's name, which means that the sun and moon of our Ming Dynasty will shine on it, and wherever the rivers go, it will be the country of the Ming Dynasty."
"Great King Shengming!"
Zhang Zhao spoke again.
Although Ming has never been used, it is better than 'Wu'.
Zhang Zhao said: "When it comes to the king's enthronement and proclaiming himself emperor, I think there is one more thing. The king wants to offer sacrifices to the ancestral temple and the gods, but the prince follows Zheng Xuan to travel to places. Do you want to arrange someone to notify the prince to return?"
"unnecessary!"
Lu Xuan shook his head and answered.
His eyes were determined and he said: "Yu'er is training with Kang Chenggong. This is a good thing. If my future heir to the Ming Dynasty is indifferent to the four limbs and the five grains, wouldn't it be a big joke?"
"Only when he travels to places and sees the vastness of the world and the hardships of people's lives can he know the program and goals of future governance. Moreover, only when he sees the unpredictable people outside can he know how to take precautions."
"It is difficult for a prince who is raised in a deep palace to be independent."
"He needs to understand further."
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice: "You don't need to worry about Yu'er's affairs. When it's time to come back, he will come back with Mr. Kang Chenggong."
"I obey!"
Zhang Zhao bowed and responded.
Although Zhang Zhao thought that Lu Yu should be recalled, Lu Xuan said that it was not necessary, so there was no need. Lu Xuan is less than thirty years old now, and is a monarch in his prime. It will not affect his heir's travels.
Zhang Zhao wanted to seize the time to deal with the matter of ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor, so he took the initiative and said: "I resigned."
"Go ahead."
Lu Xuan waved his hand.
Zhang Zhao bowed and bowed, then walked out respectfully. But as soon as he reached the door of the hall, Lu Xuan's voice suddenly came, saying: "Zhang Qing, there is one more thing, please wait a moment."
Zhang Zhao turned around and said, "Please give me your orders, Your Majesty."
Lu Xuan ordered: "You draw up an edict regarding Chen Deng. Chen Deng will step down from the Xiuyi Guard and be transferred to the vacant position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. I will inform Chen Deng of this matter when I summon him later."
Zhang Zhao was stunned for a moment.
Chen Deng was transferred to the Ministry of Justice and entered an orthodox official career, which surprised him. In an instant, Zhang Zhao recovered and replied: "I obey."
Lu Xuan waved his hand and Zhang Zhao stepped back.
Lu Xuan arranged for someone to notify Chen Deng to come to discuss the matter.
As the Commander-in-Chief of the Xiuyi Guard who supervises the rear, Chen Deng has always done his best. Over the years, Chen Deng has dealt with many wealthy families, dealt with many corrupt officials, and eliminated corruption.
From the perspective of Wu State, Chen Deng made great achievements.
Lu Xuan has always regarded Chen Deng as a knife in his hand.
Chen Deng's positioning is also that of a lonely minister.
However, Chen Deng has always done his duty, and now that there is a chance to make adjustments, Lu Xuan plans to give Chen Deng a chance. By the way, through Chen Deng, he can learn about the situation of Liu Zhang and Liu Biao.
The attendant went to inform him, but not long after, Chen Deng hurried in.
Chen Deng bowed and said: "My lord, Chen Deng, pays homage to your Majesty."
