Chapter 588
"Your Majesty, you finally remember the year name..." Xun Yue, the Minister of Rites, said excitedly. This period had been said two years ago. Liu Tao said he needed to consider it, so this consideration has come to the present.
It was not uncommon that I had mentioned it, and even talked to the ministers about this issue, but in the end I was unconsciously delayed until now that I was not sure.
"The main reason is that there are so many enemies around me. If there is no relatively comfortable development environment, I don't plan to change the era." Liu Tao replied, "And... I was thinking about whether to start from the Yellow Emperor era and keep recording it.
The Chinese nation should be a unified nation. Regardless of whether the dynasty changes or whether the emperor changes, the first thing we should remember is how the Chinese nation came about. No matter how we fight, the Chinese nation will not change."
Why is Chu Han so unpopular? After all, this is the problem.
When the Chu State was victorious, then from now on, the world was all Chu people. As long as the country established by time travelers was not Han, they were not used to it. If you choose Liu Bang, it would be fine to follow the steps and it was meaningless at all. So instead of writing about Chu and Han, it would be better to write about the early Han directly.
The Han people represent the Han people. Anyway, there was no such concept in the Ming Dynasty. Who dares to say that they are Han people? Zhu Yuanzhang cannot spare him first. After all, his old opponent Chen Youliang established the Han Kingdom, so the Han people, Han army and Han ministers claim to be long-lasting.
However, the Yuan Dynasty in front called the Chinese people north of the Yellow River, ruled by the Liao and Jin countries, Han people, which should be the first to replace the Han people...
According to Liu Tao's meaning, don't worry about whether the ethnic group is not ethnic, or whether it is a bloodline or a culture. Everyone is from the Chinese civilization circle, so everyone is a Chinese nation. Wouldn't that be fine?
At the same time, I also hope to use this method to tell future generations that "no matter how you fight, first of all, you must understand that you are fighting a civil war. What you are dealing with is not only your enemies, but also your compatriots."
At least in terms of civil war and aggressive war, it is good to distinguish it so that brothers will not get into trouble but will make foreign robbers in vain.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, everyone also understood that once the Hu people invaded, they would give up all wars and go to the outside world.
Why did we gradually forget this excellent tradition after the end of the Han Dynasty? Is it because the Southern and Northern Dynasties blurred the boundaries between the inside and outside, or was it the hidden dangers laid by the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms? Or, it was because the concept of "nation" was never truly proposed?
"Your Majesty's idea is indeed unique..." Xun Yue was stunned when she heard this, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make some sense.
The main reason is that Liu Tao, the great Han emperor, has changed too many things from his succession to the present. Gradually, everyone seems to have become accustomed to it, especially the things that have changed gradually have been proven to be useful, and when it is better, everyone gradually convinced him.
"It's just... the Huangdi calendar itself is an era commonly used in Han history." Xun Yue reminded.
"That's how..." This was the first time Liu Tao knew about this thing.
After a closer look, I found that "Book of Han: Lu Lizhi" records the six ancient calendars of the previous dynasties, namely the Huangdi calendar, the Zhuanxu calendar, the Xia calendar, the Yin calendar, the Zhou calendar and the Lu calendar. Moreover, during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, the Huangdi calendar was used...
At the same time, the year name was originally not available, and it was also created by Emperor Wu of Han. The year name and calendar do not conflict, it is something that can be parallel. If Liu Tao wanted to use the Huangdi calendar, he could ask the historians and rituals to re-arrange them.
As for the year name, it will not have any effect on retaining it. After all, the year name picture is auspiciousness, or a hope or wish of the emperor.
"That's right, but look at the year names gathered below." Liu Tao flipped through and spread out all the year names collected from officials from all over the country in front of Xun Yue.
He had no idea about the year number and did not want to be related to religious ghosts and gods. After thinking about it a few times, he felt that it was not very good. Finally, Guo Jia suggested that it would be better to ask officials at all levels to give advice and choose the most suitable one?
Not to mention before, we are actually collecting it now. After all, the year number has not been decided for a day, so the edict is valid. Of course, the officials below also hope that the year number they thought of can be used, so they will send one from time to time.
So after deducting the same year name, the year name in Liu Tao's hand is now in a mountain.
"The year name of Yonghan is also good..." Xun Yue simply flipped through it, then took out one of them.
"Rejected!" Liu Tao refused without thinking.
In history, this was the first year name after Liu Xie ascended the throne, and the first year name of Emperor Xian of Han. Liu Tao instinctively resisted.
The main reason is that the Shao Emperor has succeeded to the throne and has also changed the reign of Guangxi. Liu Xie did not succeed to the throne and he succeeded to the throne. At this time, he used the reign of Yonghan, which is not only strange, but also feels unlucky.
"Then Jian'an?" Xun Yue flipped through the year name, which was provided by Cao Cao.
"I'm very confused about this year name..." Liu Tao replied. This year name was the first year name that Cao Cao took after welcoming the emperor to Xu, and it was also the third year name for Liu Xie's reign. It was almost used on the eve of his abdication, which lasted for twenty-five years.
"Then it's an alternative... After all, 'Jian' is not very consistent with the current great man." Xun Yue was not too confused. After all, it was fine if Liu Tao had just ascended the throne. Now the situation is clear, so 'Jian' would be a little inconsistent.
He flipped it around casually and took out another one, which was given by Wang Kuang: "The year name of Linghe is good, and the government orders are connected to He."
"Reject it!" Liu Tao did not hesitate at all, and wanted to say why this thing got involved. But he was not too confused. After all, the era of "Wanye Ji" has not appeared yet, so everyone is probably going to "governmental orders and coordination".
Thinking about it, what you lack the most now is people, and there are slight shortcomings in the transmission and implementation of government orders. However, if you want to take this year, Liu Tao will not be able to accept it physically and psychologically.
"Not this can do..." Xun Yue was embarrassed, and this Majesty was too difficult to serve.
I simply looked through a few more, and I basically didn't care about the previous ones. There was basically no suitable part for the old ones, so I could only find them in the new ones.
Finally, he found one and asked excitedly: "Your Majesty, how about this?"
"Reform? Xu Shu wrote the year name? That's right. I haven't paid much attention to them after the imperial examination..." Liu Tao saw the word "Reform" and subconsciously thought of XX Reform, which means reform.
"These two words come from "The Book of Songs·Daya·Wen Wang", and the original text is 'Although Zhou was old country, his destiny was renewed'." Xun Yue saw Liu Tao's intention, so he struck while the iron was hot, "Changing the old laws and implementing the new policy is for the sake of restoration. Your Majesty succeeded to the throne and made a lot of changes in governance, military, and people's livelihood, and craftsmanship. Benefiting from Your Majesty's changes, the Han Dynasty's court flourished and full of vitality. The word "reform" is appropriate."
Simply put, Reform is the XX reform that I often saw in historical documents, but the statements are different. However, the year name is indeed better than the reform.
"Then, use this year name?" Liu Tao was probably really fooled by Xun Yue, so he agreed in a confused manner.
