Early the next morning, Xu Da came to the palace with his memorial and presented it to Zhang Yangquan.

Zhang Yangquan took it from his personal guard and saw it, and was stunned.

“Big and middle school?”

Xu Da bowed and said, "Yes, there was a saying in ancient times that he was competing for the Central Plains. The name of 'Dazhong' refers to the meaning of the Great Central Plains. It is easier to win the hearts of the people in the Central Plains!"

Zhang Yangquan was silent for a while and nodded, "Okay, I'll think about this."

Xu Da bowed and surrendered.

It is January now, the spring is chilly, and the morning air is filled with the fragrance of plants and trees.

Zhang Yangquan stood by the window, looked up at the direction of the corridor, and was a little strange.

It has been a few days since his intention to ask all officials to submit their national titles. Even people like Xu Da who had just returned to Jiangdu Prefecture submitted their opinions, but Liu Bowen has not submitted a memorial for a long time.

Not only Liu Bowen, Song Lian, and Li Shanchang also did not give any comments.

On the contrary, Zhu Yuanzhang was particularly active and submitted a memorial a few days ago. Like Xu Da's opinion, he proposed to use "Dazhong" as the national name.

In fact, "Dazhong" also fits his meaning. It is okay to just take the word "Zhong", but he originally thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would propose to use the Ming Dynasty as the national name.

Then I thought, if Zhu Yuanzhang was the king, he would have asked his ministers for advice and would not act arbitrarily by himself, then the national name "Ming Dynasty" must have come from someone else.

Zhang Yangquan was quite hesitant.

Compared with "Chu" and "Song", he was more satisfied with the new national name "Dazhong", but he also wanted to know why Zhu Yuanzhang took "Daming" as his national name.

Is it because Zhu Yuanzhang is also a subordinate of the "Little Ming King"? Or is there another reason?

Moreover, Liu Bowen was reluctant to submit the report, which made him quite confused. Thinking of this, he was too lazy to think too much, so he ordered Yang Sanqi and took a carriage to the Censorate.

Half an hour later, the carriage came to the Censorate. After Zhang Yangquan crossed the gate, the Censor General Yang Xian brought a group of Censors to greet him in the courtyard.

When Zhang Yangquan asked where Liu Bowen was, Yang Xian hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Liu Pingzhang went to the Imperial College to find the Song Shiling.

When Zhang Yangquan saw that Liu Bowen and Song Lian were together, it would be even better, so he immediately changed his route to the Imperial College.

Song Lian’s Taishi Bureau is in the Imperial College.

When Zhang Yangquan came to the Imperial College, he did not want to alarm the Imperial College officials, so he entered through the side door, walked through the two corridors, and soon came to the Taishi Bureau Office.

After entering the Taishi Bureau, he walked along the corridor to the lobby, but found that neither Liu Bowen nor Song Lian came out to greet him, and he was slightly surprised.

After he asked a civil servant at the door, he learned that the two were in the library.

Zhang Yangquan thought the two were busy with important matters, so he did not ask the clerk to invite them over. He walked to the library. As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard Song Lian's clear voice coming from inside.

"I'm thankful for this. After obtaining these rare books, I can make up for many works of my predecessors!"

"Brother Song doesn't have to care. What we really should thank for in this matter is He Zhen. It's a pity that although this person has acted righteously, he doesn't understand the general trend. It's a pity, it's a pity!" Liu Bowen's voice rang out.

Hearing the word "He Zhen", Zhang Yangquan felt a move, stepped into the library, and coughed gently.

When Liu Bowen and Song Lian saw him coming in, they were shocked and quickly came over to greet him.

Song Lian confessed to the crime and said, "I am busy with official duties and do not know that the king has arrived. I have missed the opportunity to welcome him. I hope I will forgive you!"

Zhang Yangquan glanced at the library.

When he came last time, many places in the library were still empty. This time, he found that it was full of piles and there were a few more wooden cabinets in the library. He was very satisfied with Song Lian's work.

"It's okay, I heard you mention He Zhen just now, what's going on?" He walked to a wooden frame and asked casually.

Song Lian hurriedly said, "Report to the king, that's right. When I was collecting the lonely books, I found that many precious relics were wandering in Lingnan. Then He Zhen is a native of Lingnan, and he is addicted to books and has a lot of connections in Lingnan, so he has collected many relics."

"It happened that I met him. After our army recovered Guangzhou Road, I wrote several letters to him, and he finally agreed to send these books over and hand them over to the Taishi Bureau."

Zhang Yangquan raised his eyebrows and said, "He is willing to offer a book?"

Song Lian walked to a bookshelf, pointed to the bookshelf and said, "Please read the books in the second and third rows, all He Zhen presented them!"

Zhang Yangquan walked over and glanced at it, and took out a yellowed book on the cover. He saw four big words "Hebei Defense Communication" written on the cover.

Zhang Yangquan asked while looking through the river defense consultation: "Mr. Song, what were you and Mr. Liu talking about just now? I seemed to hear you thank him."

Song Lian sighed: "While the shipment of this batch of books came, news of He Zhen's rebellion came, and the Ministry of War detained all these books! Fortunately, Brother Liu came forward, the Ministry of War was willing to return the books!"

Zhang Yangquan paused when he looked through the book, looked up and asked, "Mr. Song, do you know why He Zhen rebelled?"

Song Lian shook his head and said, "I don't know. But no matter what the reason for him is, since he betrays, he should be sentenced to death and must not be tolerated!"

Zhang Yangquan was slightly stunned. He thought that since Song Lian knew He Zhen and had to offer this person, he would definitely plead for He Zhen, but he guessed wrongly.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Since you know He Zhen, do you know how he is?"

Liu Bowen suddenly said: "When I was in Chuzhou, I heard about He Zhen's deeds!"

"Oh? Let's hear it!"

Liu Bowen said loudly: "This person was originally on Guangdong Road, Heyuan County, and served as a salt farm in Heyuan County. Later, the Red Turban Rebellion and the world was in chaos. He abandoned his official position and returned home, organized a group of righteous soldiers to defend the village!"

Zhang Yangquan nodded silently. There were many people like He Zhen during the Yuan Dynasty, including Liu Bowen, Chen Youding, and Chahan Timur.

Liu Bowen continued: "Later, the Dongguan uprising army attacked Huizhou, and was repelled by He Zhen, who led local volunteer soldiers. A man named Wang Zhonggang in Huizhou gathered to revolt. He wanted to occupy Huizhou, but was defeated by He Zhen. He was also awarded the magistrate of Huizhou by the court!"

Zhang Yangquan said: "In this way, this person is loyal to the Yuan Dynasty, so he betrayed?"

Song Lian nodded and said, "This person was devoted to the Yuan Dynasty. After the Yuan general Huang Chang defected to Chen Youliang, he kept leading troops to defend Huizhou and repelled Huang Chang many times."

Zhang Yangquanqi said: "Since that's the case, how did he surrender to our army?"

Song Lian said: "As far as I know, after Chen Youliang's death, Huang Chang claimed to be the King of Guangzhou, but was defeated by Fang Guozhen. Before Fang Guozhen had gained a foothold, He Zhen led his troops to raid Fang Guozhen's army, drove Fang Guozhen away, and occupied Guangzhou by himself."

"Later, when our army attacked Huguang Province in three directions, Marshal Li Er's army approached Guangzhou, He Zhen took the initiative to send people to surrender to our army."

Zhang Yangquan frowned and said, "That's even more strange. If this person was loyal to the Yuan Dynasty, how could he surrender to our army? How could he hand over precious books to you?"

Song Lian shook his head and said, "That minister is unknown."

Zhang Yangquan found Zhang's chair and sat down, thought for a while, and asked, "So what about He Zhen's temperament?"

Song Lian said: "I heard that this person is generous and uses his mansion as a charity temple and his own land as a charity field. He runs a charity school and is deeply loved by the local people!"

Zhang Yangquan was shocked and said, "No wonder he could easily win over 30,000 people to rebel!"

He stood up, walked a few steps, and said, "No, judging from your narrative, He Zhen should be a righteous man. There must be a reason behind this person's rebellion. It needs to be thoroughly investigated. It is not too late to quell the rebellion again!"

Liu Bowen and Song Lian looked at each other, with a smile on their faces, and they bowed together: "The King is clear!"

When Zhang Yangquan saw the two of them react, he suddenly flashed his mind and woke up.

These two people deliberately did not submit the memorial to the country, probably to attract him to the Taishi Bureau and let him see He Zhen offering books, and thus mention He Zhen.

They did not plead directly, nor did they really say good things, but instead objectively described He Zhen's deeds, making him realize the problem in the middle.

Zhang Yangquan thought secretly that this must be Song Lian's idea. Liu Bowen is upright and will never be so complicated and ingenious in his advice.

"By the way, Mr. Liu and Mr. Song, I wonder what you two have to say about the country name?" Zhang Yangquan's eyes swept across the two.

Liu Bowen said loudly: "Can you know how the Yuan Dynasty's name was obtained?"

Zhang Yangquan thought for a while and said, "It seems to be from the Book of Changes. The word Yuan is taken from 'Da Zai Qianyuan'!"

When the Jiangdu Army first took the national name, Fang Yuan proposed to use Qian as the national name.

Later, Luo Guanzhong pointed out that Qian and Yuan came from the same place, and taking the country name was equivalent to the same face as the Yuan Dynasty, so he gave up.

Liu Bowen said seriously: "Do you know the full text of this passage of the Book of Changes?"

Zhang Yangquan shook his head.

Liu Bowen said loudly: "It's great for Qianyuan, all materials begin to govern the sky. Clouds flow and rain bring them to the body of the logistics. At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Liu Bingzhong told Yuan Shizu of this passage, so the Mongolians used the Dayuan as the national name."

Zhang Yangquan murmured: "Great Qianyuan, all materials begin! It turns out that this country name comes from this sentence."

Song Lian smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, can you tell me that there is still a passage after the Book of Changes?"

"Oh? What?"

Song Lian chanted lightly: "The beginning and beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the six ranks are formed, and the six dragons are used to control the sky. The main roads change, each of them is correct in their lives, and they are in harmony with Taihe, which is beneficial to the zhen. The first thing is to come out, and all countries are peaceful."

Zhang Yangquan blurted out: "Ming Dynasty!"

Liu Bowen and Song Lian looked at each other and smiled and said, "Yes, I think that although Qianyuan is the beginning of all materials, it is chaotic and unstable. And the Ming Dynasty has always been the end, and the world has truly entered a stable and peaceful time!"

Zhang Yangquan touched his nose and said, "In that case, do you two hope to take the Ming Dynasty as your country's name?"

The two of them said in unison: "Yes!"

Zhang Yangquan pondered for a while and said, "I know what you guys think. Let me think about this."
