Chapter 752: Decision

After Xu You, Yuan Zhou, and Chen Deng all expressed their approval of being the emperor, Liu Zheng understood what they meant, and then looked at the last person.

After all, he has the least qualifications, and he has only been in Liu Zheng for a few months, and in front of so many old-timers, he has no place to speak at all.

But since Liu Zheng looked at him, Guo Jia still had to talk to Liu Zheng.

"My lord, in fact, Fengxiao must also be in favor of you being the emperor, everyone agrees, I naturally will not stand up against it, after all, it is no good to oppose you, my reason is that I accompanied you to Wuling County before, I thought that the lord is called the emperor, maybe it is justified for the co-optation of those surrounding barbarian small forces."

"Just like those people in Funan, who are still in this Wu County, they are all barbarians who are subdued by the lord, they believe in the Han Dynasty, if the lord becomes the son of the Han Dynasty, for these people, they can be truly convinced."

In the past, when Liu Zheng incorporated the Southern Kingdom and these southern barbarians in Wuling County, they were all under the reputation of the Han Empire, but Liu Zheng was not the son of the Han Dynasty.

Now that Liu is vying for the title of emperor, then after that, when it comes to co-opting these small forces, it will be much simpler.

At least they have to think about whether they can fight against an empire, even if they are co-opted and subordinated to an empire, it is much better than to submit to a prince.

The reason Guo Jia said can also convince several other people.

Liu Zheng heard that several of his advisers agreed to be the emperor, so naturally there was nothing to discuss, and the matter of being the emperor was already a sure thing.

Now, what they need to think about is what the country name should be.

In fact, Liu Zheng had already thought about this before.

Normally, like he raised troops in this place, there were quite a lot of country names for him to choose from, Yue, Wu, and Chu.

It's just that none of these can make Liu Zheng's name justified.

He decided to directly call his country name Han.

Although other country names can be distinguished from the Han Dynasty, they are not what Liu Zheng wants.

Liu Zheng's surname is Liu, and he always has some affection for the Han Dynasty, after all, he is a modern person, and the modern people claim to be Han people, and the prestige of the Han Dynasty, Liu Zheng still doesn't want to give up, and the surname Liu in the world is a family, since he wants to be called the emperor, he naturally has to continue the prestige of the Yan Han.

Extend the life of the Han for another few hundred years.

"The name of the country is set as Han, anyway, Yuan Shao's Han is also Han, and the Han of the imperial court is also Han, since this is the case, then we are also called Han, no more of us, no less of us."

"In the end, no matter who wins the world, this world will still be called a big man in the end!"

In fact, compared to everyone agreeing with him to be the emperor, Liu Zheng himself did not particularly want to be the emperor.

The reason why he doesn't want to be the emperor is actually very simple.

Once he becomes emperor, it is very unlikely that he will want to command the troops and horses again, and go to the front line to fight the enemy army.

After becoming the emperor, most of the time the emperor sat in the center and stayed in the palace to deal with various government affairs.

Those cumbersome recitals could kill Liu Zheng all day, so that he didn't have much time to deal with the affairs of the war.

Liu Zheng doesn't like to be bored in the study alone to deal with these twists and turns, in that case, it is too boring.

Of course, even if this kind of thing is really called the emperor, he will try to avoid it, and at the same time form a cabinet, let the cabinet ministers assist the government, and deal with all these twists and turns, he only needs to approve it.

This greatly saved him the amount of money he spent on these movements.

This system was modeled after the cabinet system of the later Ming Dynasty. With the assistance of several cabinet ministers, the emperor could not go to court for decades, while the entire court still functioned, even during the decades when the emperor was not in court. Far from collapsing, the whole country has become stronger and stronger, and there are some rejuvenating moves.

Liu Zheng yearns to fight on the battlefield, but after becoming emperor, he will definitely not be able to go to the front line of the battlefield, even if he is the emperor himself, he will inevitably be in the rear of the battlefield, and the one who mobilizes troops and horses on the front line will be the general of the unified army assigned by him.

These things will also slowly appear in the future, and the top priority now is to prepare for the emperor.

Since it has been decided to be the emperor, it is not a matter of a while, and all kinds of preparations for costumes and props need to be made in advance. The dragon robe and even the jade seal and the civil and military costumes of the hundred officials need to be prepared in advance.

The time was set for a month later.

When the time comes, there is no need for all civil and military officials to be present. All you need to do is hold a decent festival to the heavens.

The canonization of civil and military officials is enough to attract attention.

After these things were negotiated, Liu Zheng asked all the civil and military generals in the courtyard to retire and go back to prepare for the emperor.

When everyone left, Liu Zheng left Shixie alone.

Sergeant Xie in the backyard came to meet Liu Zheng alone, and his face was not good-looking.

In fact, he already knew why Liu Zheng kept him.

Mainly because of the matter of his younger brother Shiwu, what happened in Wuling County had reached his ears a few days ago.

For the news that his younger brother Shiwu is in Wuling County, although he is very sad, but he has no complaints about it, his younger brother Shiwu is a military general, and he can die on the battlefield, which is also his brother's destination. Especially to be able to protect Liu Zheng and die. It's an honor for him.

"Wei Yan (Shi Xie's cousin), you must have heard about what happened in Wuling County."

Liu Zheng looked at Shi Xie with a cold face standing in front of him, and took the initiative to talk to Shi Xie about Wuling County.

Shi Xie nodded, understanding what Liu Zheng was going to tell him.

"Lord, about my brother's death, the lord doesn't have to take it to heart, Shiwu has this catastrophe, it may be his fate."

Everyone is already dead, so what can Shi Xie do even if he is sad? Naturally, he could only persuade Liu Zheng not to take this matter too seriously.

Although Shi Xie said on his face that it didn't matter, Liu Zheng still knew that Shi Xie must be very sad, after all, when he attacked Jiaozhou. Shiwu is Shixie's youngest brother and his most beloved brother.

If it weren't for the fact that he assigned Shixie to temporarily manage some affairs in Wuling County, Shiwu would not have gone to Wuling County, and Shiwu would not have died if he didn't go to Wuling County, if it wasn't for Liu Zheng staying in Yiling to fight with those Nanbans, those Nanbarians would not have spent all their strength attacking Yiling County.
