Chapter 568: Changing the Era to the Holy Emperor
Huangfu Gongcheng seemed to have anticipated the attitudes of the civil and military officials. He stood up from the dragon throne slowly, looked at the civil and military officials in the hall, and slowly said, "My dear ministers, last April, Xia Yuan rebelled and joined forces with the Northern Yuan Dynasty to forcibly occupy the sixteen northern states of Dayan."
"At that time, Dayan had reached a critical moment of life and death. It was the wise king who provided the formula of gunpowder and made the bomb, which led to the subsequent victory in Qingzhou."
"Then the wise king invented muskets and cannons, which enabled me to lead the army in person. If we didn't have bombs and muskets and cannons, I'm afraid we wouldn't even be able to recover the sixteen northern states, let alone destroy the Northern Yuan Dynasty and unify the north."
"Now, the virtuous king has destroyed the Kingdom of Yue in just 20 days with only 200,000 troops, helping our Great Yan to unify the world. The virtuous king's achievements have been unmatched since ancient times. If we follow the rules of the ancient sages, I should abdicate and let the sages take over."
"The Grand Secretary just said that it is against the etiquette of Dayan for me to confer the title of king on the virtuous king again. I thought that if this sentence had been said last year, there would naturally be no problem."
"Now that my Great Yan has unified the world, the Great Yan of today is no longer the Great Yan of the past, so the etiquette and laws of the past are naturally not suitable for the Great Yan of today."
"In order to ensure the orderly inheritance of Dayan, I will re-enact the etiquette and laws, Minister of Rites Zuo Aiqing."
Zuo Qiu immediately stepped out and said, "I am here!"
"I order you to re-enact the Great Yan etiquette. Now that the whole world has returned to the Great Yan, you must treat the people of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the Southern Yue equally and include them in the Great Yan etiquette."
"Sir, obey the order!"
Huangfu Gongcheng nodded, then looked at Dai Qian, "As for what Lord Dai said just now about the status of the Dual Prince being higher than that of the Prince, which would be detrimental to the inheritance of our Great Yan, then I will now announce that the status of the Dual Prince is equal to that of the Prince."
"Although the Xian Wang has two titles, Xian and Xin, his title is still that of a prince. The eldest son of the Xian Wang Mansion, Lin Fan, is the Xian Wang's Crown Prince, and the eldest son born to Princess Wen Yue in the future will be the Crown Prince of Xin."
After Huangfu Gongcheng's explanation, the civil and military officials began to understand what the dual titles meant, and also realized the great contributions Lin Feng had made to Dayan. They all changed their previous opposition attitudes and bowed, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Huangfu Gongcheng nodded and said, "My dear ministers, this battle in South Vietnam lasted only twenty days. The reason why it was so successful was all thanks to the soldiers' dedication. I will confer a title on you for your merit."
"Song Dian, the general of the Tiger Guard, was named Marquis of Zhennan; Qin Jingyun, the general of the Thousand Bull Guard, was named Marquis of Pingnan; Li Ming, the commander of the navy, was named Marquis of Dingnan; Xu Hui, the general of Yuzhou, was named Marquis of Zhennan; Cheng Tianhu, the lieutenant general of the Artillery Battalion, was named Marquis of Jingnan; Xue Zhuo, the lieutenant general of the Artillery Battalion, was named Marquis of Annan; Gao Rui, the lieutenant general of the Fire Lance Battalion, was named Marquis of Funan; Xiao Yang, the lieutenant general of the Fire Lance Battalion, was named Marquis of Jiannan; Zhao Xin, the lieutenant general of the Flying Sky Battalion, was named Marquis of Lingnan; and Gong Yuan, the lieutenant general of the Flying Sky Battalion, was named Marquis of Zhengnan."
As soon as Huangfu Gongcheng finished speaking, Cheng Tianhu, Xue Zhuo, Gao Rui, Xiao Yang, Zhao Xin, and Gong Yuan all stepped out, "Your Majesty, I accept your order! Thank you for your grace!"
“In this battle of Nanyue, Yuzhou Sima Xu Hui unfortunately died in battle, and his title of Marquis Zhennan will be inherited by his eldest son Xu Jin.
Next, Huangfu Gongcheng conferred titles of earl, viscount, and baron on more than sixty people in one breath.
After rewarding the merits, Huangfu Gongcheng continued, "Now that the country is united, Dayan has entered a new historical era. I have decided to use a new era name. My dear ministers, please think carefully about what era name is appropriate."
As soon as Huangfu Gongcheng said this, the court hall suddenly became quiet, and all the civil and military officials were thinking about the appropriate reign title.
Time passed little by little, and soon a quarter of an hour had passed.
Huangfu Gongcheng then looked at Meng Xianli who was standing in the front row and said, "Grand Scholar, you speak first!"
Meng Xianli hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Your Majesty's achievements in unifying the world have surpassed all the emperors in history. I think it is most appropriate to use the Holy Emperor as the reign title."
"I second the proposal!"
Civil and military officials all spoke in agreement and the motion was passed unanimously.
Huangfu Gongcheng was very satisfied with the Holy Emperor's reign title. He stroked his beard with a look of satisfaction and then looked at Lin Feng. "Xian Wang, what do you think of the Holy Emperor's reign title?"
Lin Feng quickly cupped his hands and said, "Father, I think the reign title of Saint Emperor is very appropriate."
"Hahaha……"
"Since all of you have unanimously agreed, the reign title is settled. From now on, the fifth year of Sheng'an will be the first year of the Holy Emperor."
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
All civil and military officials bowed in salute, and the Dayan Dynasty officially changed its name to Shengdi.
Huangfu Gongcheng nodded. "My Great Yan unified the world. Whether it is the Northern Yuan or the Southern Yue, a large number of officials are needed to manage them. However, there is a serious shortage of officials with the title of Jinshi, so I decided to hold an imperial examination."
"All scholars in the world, as long as they have the title of Juren, can come to Beijing to participate in this special examination, which will be held on the first day of September."
"The chief examiner of this special examination will be the virtuous king, with the Grand Secretary Meng Xianli, the Imperial Censor Dai Qian, the Minister of Rites Zuo Qiu, and the Minister of Personnel Gu Zhang as deputy chief examiners, and the commander of the Imperial Guard Shen Yan as the invigilator."
"This is the first imperial examination since Great Yan unified the country. All aspects must be fair and just, and there must be no favoritism or fraud."
Lin Feng quickly cupped his hands and said, "I obey your order!"
Meng Xianli, Dai Qian, Zuo Qiu, Gu Zhang, and Shen Yan all stepped forward and saluted, "We obey your order!"
When Huangfu Gongcheng just mentioned that he would hold a special examination, Lin Feng knew that he would be the chief examiner of this special examination. However, he never expected that Huangfu Gongcheng would ask two cabinet ministers, Meng Xianli and Dai Qian, to be his deputy chief examiners. He thought that the standard of this special examination was too high!
Huangfu Gongcheng nodded and said, "The number of candidates for this special examination is estimated to exceed 20,000, but the Imperial Examination Hall only has 12,000 examination seats in 12 examination halls."
Huangfu Gongcheng then looked at the Minister of Industry Xiao Jun, "My dear Xiao!"
Xiao Jun immediately stepped forward and saluted, "I'm here!"
"I order your Ministry of Works to build twelve more examination halls in the Imperial Examination Hall."
"Sir, obey the order!"
Huangfu Gongcheng nodded and said, "My dear ministers, today's court meeting ends here. Let's adjourn!"
Huangfu Gongcheng immediately stood up and walked down the imperial platform, and left the Chaozheng Hall directly from the imperial road.
"I will respectfully send you off to Your Majesty!"
At this point, the one-day morning meeting ended successfully!
