System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

I wouldn’t use it before, and I certainly won’t use it now.

Using Liang means giving the credit for pacifying the world to the Xiliang Group.

What would the other generals and strategists who had made great military achievements think?

Too restrictive, not suitable.

Dong Yu ruled the whole world, not just a state or a country.

After leaving the palace, Dong Yu returned to the General's Mansion and summoned Guo Jia, Xun You, Jia Xu, Li Ru, Zhong Yao and others for the first time.

Although Zhong Yao was not very familiar with Dong Yu, he had always served as an official in the court.

This person is not a member of any party, but a fence-sitter like Chen Qun.

It's just that this guy made the bet early and had already followed Li Ru when Dong Yu left Chang'an to fight in Jizhou.

Oh, by the way, Chen Qun is still serving as an official in Yuzhou, but someone who is unwilling to take a gamble will naturally not be able to climb to the core level.

"His Majesty."

Everyone bowed to Dong Yu.

"Wenhe, I heard you were sick?"

Dong Yu looked at Jia Xu and asked in a playful tone.

"Well, I was really feeling unwell the past few days because of the long journey."

"I am old and my body is not as strong as before."

Jia Xu lowered his head and explained casually.

"I heard that both of them have reached adulthood. How come I haven't heard that they have been selected as filial and honest officials?"

Dong Yu nodded slightly, and then asked with some confusion.

"If a dog son is neither good at literature nor martial arts, it is difficult for him to become a great man."

"If such people were to become officials, they would not only harm themselves, but also their country and the people."

Jia Xu responded very frankly.

"Indeed, indeed."

"These prejudices based on family background really need to be changed."

"Look at the Han Dynasty. The officials in the court are all useless and are just people seeking fame and reputation."

Dong Yu said meaningfully.

"This is definitely not going to work... By the way, the new dynasty hasn't decided on a name yet. Do you have any suggestions?"

Looking at everyone, Dong Yu then spoke about the purpose of calling them here today.

The name of a country is of paramount importance.

Generally speaking, the names of dynasties before the Yuan Dynasty all had deep regional symbols.

Basically, it has a lot to do with the position they were in when they started.

However, this country name was no longer used after the Yuan Dynasty until the end of the feudal period.

Instead, we select some words with good meanings and connotations from some classics.

"The old lord's title is Duke Liang..."

"Minister Li, it's OK for Duke Liang, but not for the Kingdom of Liang. There's more than just one Liang Province in the world."

Li Ru had just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by Guo Jia beside him.

"this..."

Listening to Guo Jia's words, Li Ru closed his mouth helplessly.

"Jin, Han, and Wei are all located in the Central Plains, so they are good names for their countries."

Xun You stroked his beard and suggested.

It is naturally of great significance to name the country after the Central Plains.

Among these three country names, Xun You particularly liked the word "Jin". After all, Jin was also the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period and the strongest country in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Moreover, the writing style of the word "Jin" is quite consistent with the aesthetic of Central Plains culture.

Symmetry is beautiful!

"Vulgar, too vulgar!"

"Your Majesty's achievements surpass those of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, sweeping away the decadent old Han system. Now that a new nation has been established, how can we adhere to the old rituals?"

Guo Jia waved his hand and immediately spoke up for Dong Yu.

As someone who has been with Dong Yu for many years, he understands Dong Yu's thoughts best.

As a close friend other than the emperor and his subjects, if Guo Jia didn't stand up at this time, when would he stand up?

"Feng Xiao thinks, how can we avoid this worldly custom?"

Dong Yu looked at Guo Jia and asked expectantly.

"The Tuan Chuan says, 'Great is the Qian Yuan, the source of all things, governing the heavens. Clouds move and rain falls, all things flow and take shape. Great is the beginning and end, the six positions are established at times, and sometimes they ride on six dragons to control the heavens. The Qian Dao changes, each corrects its nature and life, maintaining harmony and unity, and is beneficial and righteous. It is the first to produce all things, and all nations are at peace.'"

"I think the two characters Qianyuan are good. You can choose either one. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Guo Jia stroked his beard and said seriously.

This sentence in the Book of Changes is a classic among classics.

Even the names of the Yuan and Ming dynasties were taken from this character.

Dong Yu didn't expect that Guo Jia's ideas were quite advanced.

Dong Yu was not going to use the words Yuan and Ming.

Among these characters, perhaps only the character Qian is the best at carrying the country's fortune.

"Qian represents the sky, and everything below the sky is the land."

Dong Yu picked up his brush and wrote a big word "Qian" on a piece of silk.

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

"Long live the Great Qian!"

Everyone was shocked, and they felt Dong Yu's ambition from this word.

Dong Yu is now in his prime, and Yizhou cannot survive for long.

With the national strength of Daqian, if we focus on government affairs within five years, we can achieve great order.

At that time, Dong Yu was only in his thirties, in the prime of his life...

They could hardly imagine how many more wars Daqian would have to go through next.

"On the first day of next month, I will hold a coronation ceremony in Luoyang."

"Everyone, make preparations early."

Dong Yu looked at everyone and gave the order.

"Sir, obey!"

Everyone immediately bowed and saluted.

After the name of the country was decided, everyone said goodbye and left.

Now that the country has just been established, there are still many trivial matters waiting for them.

"His Majesty."

"Old lord...Old lord sent someone to see you."

Dian Wei walked into the study and said with a bow.

"You can't hide from it."

"It would be nice to meet you."

Dong Yu nodded, stood up and went to Liang Gong Mansion.

In recent years, Dong Zhuo's health has not been very good.

His legs are almost disabled and he needs someone to support him to walk.

As a cavalry general, his legs must have been stabbed and hit by countless arrows.

Being able to survive to this age, these two legs are quite a tribute to Dong Zhuo.

“It’s rare to stay in the room.”

"Why didn't you go out to the yard to enjoy the breeze and sunshine today?"

Dong Yu grabbed the fallen blanket and covered Dong Zhuo again.

"No matter how much sun I get, I can't stand up."

"I heard...you went to see the little emperor today?"

Dong Zhuo smiled bitterly and shook his head, then looked up at his son.

"Yes, the country's name is Daqian. Qian is a good word, better than your Liang."

Dong Yu nodded and said with a smile.

Dong Zhuo heard a lot of hidden meanings in this sentence.

But he felt uncomfortable, uncomfortable in his heart.

It is related to the country’s name, but not entirely because of it.

"Then do you still want this cool one of mine?"

After a long while, Dong Zhuo asked.
