Chapter 323: Qing Dying and Ming Xing!(3/3)
Zhuang Xian nodded: "Don't worry, I won't just sit idly by."
After the Lord Martial Saint finished speaking, his body disappeared into the clouds.
…
On the same day, Jiang Yao was surrounded by ministers and came to Wuji Hall. Chu Heng and others personally invited Jiang Yao to the throne. Zhu Yan took out the prepared imperial uniform with the pattern of clouds, flames, sun, moon and stars and put it on Jiang Yao.
superior.
Then, hundreds of courtiers bowed together and said according to the new etiquette produced by the reform:
"I will bow to you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please greet me!"
If there are three like this, then he will stand up after finishing the ceremony.
To be honest, the etiquette of the Qing clan after the reform is still relatively simple, it just needs to be improved compared to the martial arts clan.
In addition, it was very rushed and poorly prepared, so there was no ceremony.
Of course, as a small monarch of a new country, Jiang Yao would not engage in complicated ceremonies, nor would he proclaim himself king or emperor.
"Everyone is safe!" Jiang Yao said while sitting on the throne.
"Since you have urged me to do so, for the sake of the great cause of political reform, for the sake of the casual cultivators and ordinary people in the twenty-three counties, I am determined to change my banner and declare myself king!"
"From now on, the title of Qing Clan will be abolished. I will lead the territory of twenty-three counties. With the hope of hundreds of millions of people, I will establish the title of Ming Dynasty. This is for the Ming Dynasty!"
"The sun and the moon shine together to be bright, and the new moon and the sun are bright. Those who are bright, the light shines everywhere, and the Ming Dynasty always shines!"
The name of the country has been decided, Ming!
The people in Daming Mountain were very excited, and the courtiers were also very happy.
From today on, there is no longer a Qing clan, but a Ming clan... No, it’s the Ming Kingdom!
What they didn't know was that Jiang Yao actually wanted to name the country "Da Ming".
However, the twenty-three counties of the Qing clan plus the three counties of Mingshan, that is, the twenty-three counties, are not as big as an ordinary Jia vassal. Compared with the Western Region, it is really a small area. It would be a bit ridiculous to call it the Ming Dynasty.
Da Ming can only be called verbally for the time being, just like Da Qing before.
Jiang Yao gradually found the feeling. His body was fluttering, his eyes were bright, and his tone became more sonorous and powerful: "Chu Heng, let's start."
Chu Heng came out and said: "I, the lord of the Ming Dynasty, am temporarily officially titled as the Duke of the Ming Dynasty. I call myself a widower, and my order is called Jun Zhi or Jun Ming!"
Junzhi originally means an order from a noble person, usually an order from a prince or noble.
Although Jiang Yao became the head of the country, he did not proclaim himself a king, let alone an emperor. He strictly abided by the political rules and systems of China. Of course, he could not overstep the imperial etiquette because of his position as a duke. His orders could not be called imperial edicts.
Junzhi, that's enough.
Since he is the initiator, he must take the lead.
The emperor is the emperor, the king is the king, and the duke is the duke!
Chu Heng continued to read: "Because our country has a small population and few people, we cannot decide on a year for the time being. We will change the seventh year of Xuantong to the first year of Ming Dynasty!"
Jiang Yao really wanted to decide on a year, but he still couldn't help himself.
His plan was that at least by the time he became king, his territory would be greatly expanded and the principality would become a kingdom, so that he would be eligible to name his reign.
It's ridiculous to decide on a year now.
As for Qinglu's previous title of Xuantong, that's another matter.
He set the first year of the Ming Dynasty, which was actually based on what Zhu Yuanzhang did when he first became King of Wu: Wu Yuan Nian.
Also, when Liu Bang first became King of Han, he used the name "Yuan Year of Han".
There are examples to follow.
When everyone heard this, they all let out a long sigh of relief.
Well, from now on, it will be the first year of the Ming Dynasty!
After listening to Chu Heng's words, they couldn't help but be in high spirits and feel proud.
"We, the Ming Dynasty, use the sun and moon as our flags, and make our capital the Ming Dynasty Mountain City!"
Jiang Yao didn't get any official titles, nor did he make many changes. He just changed his banner and became king.
This was a major event that caused a sensation in Qiunan and even made the entire Western Region pay attention.
On the second day of February in the first year of the Ming Dynasty, the former Qing clan regent Jiang Yao. With the support of the ministers and the three armies, he established the country as Ming Dynasty and ascended to the position of Lord of the Ming Dynasty. Jiang Yao was the Duke of the Ming Dynasty.
When the news spread, the entire Ming Dynasty and the military and civilians of Daming Mountain, including mortals, burst into joy.
Duke Jiang finally ascended to the throne!
Ming Dynasty! Duke of Ming Dynasty!
From now on, you are a citizen of the Ming Dynasty!
However, when word of this move spread to surrounding martial arts clans, it caused panic and anger.
The Wu family nobles were once again in an uproar.
Jiang Yao usurped the throne! Changing his flag and claiming the throne!
The ginger medicine thief changed his name to the Ming Dynasty and called himself the Duke of the country!
