"It would be better for my lord to directly ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor! Anyway, since the death of His Majesty Yang Guang, the name of the Sui Dynasty has no practical meaning! Now, the emperor Yang Tong has also been killed, and the Sui Dynasty has officially ended its legacy.
Cheng. My lord now occupies most of the country, and now he has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, which is a well-deserved title, and it also gives his generals something to look forward to. In this way, it saves a lot of trouble compared to setting up a puppet of the Sui Dynasty to usurp the throne in the future!"
After hearing about the adultery between Yuwen Chenglong and Empress Xiao, Chief Wei Zheng was shocked, but he quickly regained his composure.
Then, after thinking about it for a while, Wei Zheng concocted such a plan.
When Yuwen Zhiji heard the words, he quickly became alert and echoed, "What Wei Fu Cheng said makes sense! With the strength of our Yuwen family, we really don't need to rely on the name of the Sui Dynasty anymore! It's better to simply do it
Let’s just establish a country!”
"Well, this is fine! However, we are not in a hurry now. We will take our time to figure it out after Luoyang is captured."[
"My lord wants to make Luoyang the capital? What should we do with Yuhang? Are we going to move all the wealthy families and schools in Yuhang to Luoyang?"
"That's not necessary! After all, Yuhang is the place where I started. Even if it is not suitable for being a capital, it must still be prosperous. In this way, Jiangnan University will still stay in Yuhang, and the wealthy families will not have to move, they will just keep it as it is.
Can."
"Speaking of Jiangnan University, this general reminds me of something. Judging from our current territory and population, if we continue to implement compulsory education for all, one Jiangnan University seems to be insufficient. Looking back, you and Old Man Xu,
Old Shen and the others will discuss it and strive to build a few more universities. After we occupy Luoyang, the dragons in Luoyang will
Men's Academy can be reopened. As for other universities, in accordance with the general's wishes, they should be dispersed throughout the country as much as possible. In the future, universities will be built in Shuzhong, Lingnan and Zhuojun. This will also facilitate local development!
As for the specific operations, you can discuss them, draw up detailed regulations and submit them to this general."
"My lord is wise!" Upon hearing this, Wei Zheng's face lit up with joy, and he sincerely flattered Yuwen Chenglong.
"Lord Shengming!" On the other side, Yuwen Zhiji also presented a big hat, and then said, "May I ask my lord, what are the arrangements for Jiangdu? Are there many old officials of the Sui Dynasty here?
These guys are not loyal to you at all, my lord, but they all have high status and seem to have some abilities. It’s really hard to deal with them casually!"
"These people, um, are here!"
"In this way, it is impossible to give these people real positions of power. So, let's find some chores for them to do!"
"I heard that old man Pei Ju is very accomplished in geography. He can be sent to take charge of surveying and mapping the country's maps, compiling national geographical chronicles and so on. And that old man He Chou seems to be the Taifu Qing, so let's
He also presided over the revision of a complete book on agricultural and industrial equipment manufacturing. Others are as big as
Old men and so on also follow this arrangement. Those with professional expertise are asked to preside over the compilation of professional books, such as agriculture, medicine, government affairs, law, etc. They all compile them, so they don't have to worry about having nothing to do. As for those who don't have anything to do,
Those who are good at it can be arranged to compile the history of the Sui Dynasty, revise the classics of various scholars, etc."
"Lord Shengming! Those old men from the Sui Dynasty will definitely not refuse such things as being able to write a book and leave a name in history! Moreover, these old men have their own things to do, so they will not cause trouble for us. Got it!
"Well, that's exactly the truth. However, there is one thing to note. The work of writing a book will benefit the present and future generations. Therefore, it must be done professionally and accurately, and there must be no sloppiness! Especially in the field of medicine. The books must be checked and calibrated repeatedly to avoid any mistakes! Those old men may not have enough energy, so more teachers and students from Jiangnan University can be arranged to help them. We can discuss the specific arrangements slowly. "
After planning all the matters, Yuwen Chenglong temporarily settled down in Jiangdu City.
A few days later, Wu Yunzhao sent news that Luoyang City had been captured and Wang Shichong was captured alive.
Subsequently, the Sui army took advantage of the situation to attack, occupying the Mengjing Pass at the ferry of the Yellow River to the north, Wuguan Pass leading from Wan County to Guanzhong to the south, and Hangu Pass, the largest gateway between Luoyang and Guanzhong, to the west.
At this point, the Eight Passes of Luoyang have completely fallen under the control of the Sui army! They are just waiting for an opportunity to capture Tongguan to the west of Hangu Pass, and then they can advance westward to Guanzhong.
However, the Sui army was not in a hurry to continue advancing, but instead stationed itself in Luoyang.
One reason is that the Sui army expanded too quickly due to successive victories in battles and the recruitment of prisoners. At present, the number of captive soldiers has far exceeded the original number of Sui soldiers. Therefore, it is necessary to stop and reorganize, eliminate the weak and retain the strong, in order to alleviate the problem. Logistical burden to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army. On the other hand, it is because Yuwen Chenglong is preparing to move the capital to found a country and ascend the throne to proclaim himself emperor!
At present, Yuwen Chenglong has occupied all the territory in the ancient Kyushu except Yong, Liang, and the three states. In addition, he also sits on Ryukyu, Linyi, Java, Liaodong, Fusang and many other enclaves. The total area of the territory under his rule is It was even larger than the Sui Dynasty in its heyday, with a total population of more than 20 million, and the conditions for the founding of the country were fully mature.
After the death of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, for more than half a year, Li Yuan, Li Gui, Liu Wuzhou and others successively proclaimed themselves emperors, all claiming to be orthodox.
In a short period of time, Yuwen Chenglong could still use the banner of the Sui Dynasty and pretend to be a loyal minister to win people's hearts. But now that Yang Tong, the last emperor of the Sui Dynasty, has died for more than two months, if Yuwen Chenglong does not establish a country, I am afraid that the people below will People's hearts are about to scatter.[
The founding of the country and the enthronement of the throne were filled with countless things, but these matters were taken care of by a group of ministers who were busy. Moreover, Yuwen Chenglong's two chief managers, Wei Zheng and Cen Wenwen, were both talented prime ministers, as well as Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui. , Yuwen Zhiji, Gao Jian, Changsun Ji and other capable ministers and officials were recruited as his wings, and it only took more than a month to make all the necessary preparations for his enthronement.
When the fourteenth year of the Sui Dynasty finally came to an end, that is, in the second year after the death of Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang and Emperor Yang Tong, during the Spring Festival, Yuwen Chenglong officially ascended the throne in Luoyang and proclaimed himself emperor. The country was named "Yuan" and "Dazai Qianyuan" was adopted. It means "Yuan Henry Zhen".
History calls this year "the first year of AD"!
When Yuwen Chenglong ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, the first thing he did was naturally to offer sacrifices to the ancestors of heaven and earth, and then grant a large number of ministers and grant amnesty to the world.
Not surprisingly, among the officials, those who were the first to follow Yuwen Chenglong to conquer the world were naturally reused.
Yuwen Chengdu, Yuwen Chengxiang, Yuwen Zhiji, Yuwen Shiji, Yuwen Dingji, Yuwen Fuji and others of the Yuwen family were all crowned kings. As for Yuwen Chenglong’s father Yuwen Wenji, he was held in high esteem. Gloriously became the Supreme Emperor.
In addition, Mai Tiezhang, Wu Yunzhao, Li Jing, Zhang Xutuo, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Shen Guang and other veteran generals have all been named marshals. However, above these marshals, there is also a part-time great like Yuwen Chenglong. The marshal suppressed.
As for other Shi Huaiyi, Han Shi'e, Shan Xiongxin, Shang Shi and his disciples, they were named generals in order according to their merits.
Wei Zheng, the former general manager of the Yuwen Mansion, was named the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, with a first-rank official position. He overall managed all miscellaneous affairs except military matters. He had three deputy prime ministers of the first rank, Cen Wenwen, Xiao Yu, and Yuwen Zhiji, under his jurisdiction. Fang Xuan Ling, Du Ruhui, Xu Deyan, etc. respectively served as the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Minister of Rites, etc., and were in charge of the three important departments of civil affairs, justice, and education.
However, there was a former surrendered minister of the Sui Dynasty who was unexpectedly entrusted with an important task, that is, He Chou, the former minister of the Taifu of the Sui Dynasty, was honored to be the Minister of the Ministry of Industry! However, relatively speaking, it seems that the one who took the post was Li Chun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, seems to have more actual power and is more trusted by Yuwen Chenglong!
Other civil and military personnel also received promotions and rewards.
Finally, there is Yuwen Chenglong’s family issues.
As the official wife of Yuwen Chenglong in name only, Dugu Feng naturally became the queen, but that was all. In fact, the people in charge of the inner palace were Princess Leping and Sister Guanyin.
Regarding the issue of establishing a crown prince, Yuwen Chenglong had a headache. After thinking about it for a long time, he was still a little undecided!
