Chapter 58 Wu Chengding of the Northern and Southern Han Dynasty Expanded the territory of the four princes 6
After the military parade, Nanyi announced that he would inherit the Han Dynasty, and the name of the country was Han, and the name of the year was changed to 401 AD, symbolizing that this dynasty inherited the four hundred years of the Eastern and Western Han dynasties. He made Nan Ye a national teacher, prime minister and Duke Xiaoyao, abolished the prince and state herdsman, established a parliament, implemented a constitutional monarchy, and declared that "the king is under the law". Later, Nanyi appointed six ministers, generals at all levels, and specially appointed Liu Xun, the son of Liu Zhang, as Zongzheng to manage some royal affairs. Of course, these policies and appointments are all made by Nan Ye, and the reform road he has been planning is a big step forward today.
At the end of the founding ceremony, Nan Ye announced that the day was the National Day, and the people could take a day off. As for the amnesty, he was exempted. Nanye, who ruled the country by law, doesn't want the country to release all the prisoners first, so that the world will be in chaos.
People can have a holiday, and Nanyi can also rest. Nanye still has a lot to do. The top priority is to go to the Academy of Sciences to review the newly revised Dahan Times. This issue not only published the news of Liu Yi's succession to the founding of the country, but also introduced the latest calendar, weights and measures, laws and regulations, etc. Because this newspaper is too important and has too many pages, Nan Ye ordered craftsmen to start making engravings a few days ago, waiting for the content of today's founding ceremony to be officially printed.
One million newspapers in the first issue of the Great Han Times were sold out on the same day. This is greatly beyond Nanye's expectation. Although he ruled more than 10 million people and basic education has been popularized in Jiaozhou for many years, the illiterate people are still in the minority. The purpose of Nanye's mass distribution is not to sell out to make money in a day, but to publicize the national policy and let the people read it carefully. Unexpectedly, the newspapers that were planned to be sold in a few days would be sold out on the same day.
If something goes wrong, it is a demon. Nanye knows that there is a saying among the people that "made by Nanye must be a boutique". The cards and mahjong he printed in his early years now have a high collection value, and even some speculators have hoarded and hyped up, which is also inevitable for commercial development to a certain extent. Result.
Nanye is most afraid that someone will hoard newspapers so that the people have nothing to read, which will not achieve the purpose of publicity. So the intelligence department was ordered to investigate the sales and flow of newspapers overnight. The results of the investigation surprised Nan Ye again, because no one hoarded a large number of them, and they were all bought by the people.
While looking at the investigation report, Nan Ye asked Diao Chan, who was in charge of the intelligence, "The price of newspapers is not cheap, and they are issued by various states under my rule. Is it possible that the people of all states and counties under my rule can afford to buy and understand newspapers like the people of Jiaozhou?"
Diao Chan explained with a smile when she heard the words: "Don't be surprised. This newspaper is too important. It is indispensable for men, farmers, industry and commerce. It is also common to snap up."
When Nan Ye saw Diao Chan, he felt pleasing to the eyes and stared at Diao Chan and said strangely, "How did newspapers become a must?"
Diao Chan said, "If officials want to know the national policy, they must have a share. Craftsmen and merchants need to measure and calculate naturally. Even if ordinary people can't read, they still know the perpetual calendar attached to the newspaper, and naturally they buy it one after another.
One of Nanye's earliest skills is to check calendars and dictionaries, which is equivalent to bringing his own perpetual calendar and ancient Chinese translation system. He knew that the Gregorian calendar year was more accurate than the lunar calendar year, so he introduced a new calendar and specially occupied a page of the newspaper to print the year-round calendar. Unexpectedly, the people used the newspaper as the almanac, which really made Nanye a little embarrassed. Anyway, it was a good thing that people were willing to buy newspapers, so Nanye ordered to continue printing.
Regarding the flow of newspapers, Diao Chan actually said a little, that is, although the Han Times was only issued under the rule of Nan Ye, it was not only the people under the rule of Nan Ye who bought the newspaper. Businessmen and fine works under the three families of Sun, Cao and Liu also have a special preference for newspapers issued by Nanye. Of course, Nanye is not afraid of them reading it, and some content in the newspaper is just for them to read.
The founding number of the Han Times was soon put on the desk of Liu Bei and Sun Quan. When they saw the news that Nanye supported Liu Yi as emperor, they were all stunned. They all thought that Nan Ye would be emperor, but no one expected that Nan Ye would save Liu Xie's son and make him emperor.
If Nan Ye claims to be the emperor himself, Liu Bei and Sun Quan will not be embarrassed. Anyway, everyone knows that now that the world has the final say, it doesn't matter whether it is orthodox or not. If there is a reason, you can claim the emperor. However, Nan Ye supported Liu Yi, and Liu Bei and Sun Quan couldn't hang on their faces. Compared with Liu Yi's orthodox status, the two reasons for being emperors were simply ridiculous.
There is also a special article in the Han Times to analyze who the three emperors Liu Yi, Liu Bei and Sun Quan are orthodox. Among them, the comment on Liu Bei is: "... There is a saying that the father and the son are dead, and the brothers are finally brothers. His nephew's death ascended the throne, which is unheard of..." The comment on Sun Quan is: "... Yuxi is a dead thing. How can you know the will of heaven and the people? If the one gets the seal, he can be the emperor. How about the one who steals the seal? Could it be that people in the world should respect thieves as emperors..."
After reading such sharp comments, Liu Bei and Sun Quan almost vomited blood in anger. Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu are even more depressed. They simply hate Cao Pi to the bone now, because there is another paragraph in the newspaper about how Yang Xiong fought with the thief and bravely saved Liu Yi. Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu did not hate that the thief did not kill Liu Yi, but also hated Cao Pi for concealing the news that Liu Yi was alive. If they had known that Liu Xie still had children, they would not have been so anxious to make themselves emperor.
Cao Pi and Sima Yi also saw the Han Times, which were more depressed than Liu Bei, Sun Quan, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu. Cao Pi pointed to the paragraph in the newspaper where Yang Xiong saved Liu Yi and cursed, "A lot of nonsense! What nonsense! What desolate mountaine has killed more than 100 mountain thieves? This is all made up casually by me! Liu Xie's family has arrived outside Ye City! Liu Yi died a long time ago! Zhong Da, go and send an order quickly and tell the people of Wenwu that what is said in this newspaper is false!"
At this time, Sima Yi only smiled bitterly but also bitterly. Shanyang Gong and Liu Xie's family were intercepted by mountain thieves halfway and were originally made up by Cao Pi. Unexpectedly, Nan Ye could make up stories and actually made up a story of Yang Xiong bravely fighting mountain thieves to save Liu Yi. Now anyone can say that this story is false, but Cao Pi can't say it, because once Cao Pi exposes Nan Ye's lies, his own lies will be exposed.
Cao Pi and Sima Yiming knew that the news in the newspaper was false and that Liu Yi was not true, but they could not refute it. In fact, even if they really stand up and tell the truth, not many people will believe it, because Nanye has mastered the power of public opinion. Liu Zhang and Liu Xun testified that Liu Yi is not really true.
Sima Yi also read the article in the newspaper analyzing which of the three emperors are orthodox. From this article, he realized the real power of Nanye. In the article, although Liu Bei and Sun Quan's claim to be emperor was criticized for nothing, even Liu Yi's claim to be emperor was questioned. The author of the article believes that the whole family of Liu Xie, the Duke of Shanyang, was killed, and no one can confirm the authenticity of Liu Yi's identity. Liu Yi may be true or a branch of the royal family, but no matter how Nanye's national teacher supports the royal family, if he does not claim himself as emperor, he is dedicated to the public. Liu Yi is more orthodox than Liu Bei and Sun Quan.
Sima Yi can be sure that with this basis of speech, even if Liu Yi's identity is proved to be false in the future, no one can attack Nan Ye with this. What Sima Yi didn't understand was that Nan Ye mastered public opinion so cleverly that there must be many ways to build his own momentum to be emperor. Why did he find a puppet in front of the stage and then legislate to restrict imperial power? This is simply unnecessary.
If Nan Ye restricts the imperial power and expands the power, it can also be interpreted that he set up a archway to be a bitch. However, according to the newspaper's explanation of official positions and policies, Prime Minister Nan Ye also has many constraints and can't do whatever he wants, which is a little strange.
It's not only Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu also can't figure out Nan Ye's intention, and they can't figure out what Nan Ye will do next. In the past, there were still traces of Nanye's expedition, at least a reason in line with justice. Now the situation has become an opposition between the three countries, and it is not uncommon for Nan Ye to send troops to fight anyone. As long as Nan Ye is willing, Liu Bei and Sun Quan can be labeled as pseudo-emperor.
Although Zhuge Liang did not expect that Nanye would support Liu Yi as emperor before, he considered how Liu Bei would respond once Nanye became emperor. At this time, although the situation has changed, the two sides may not have an endless ending. Zhuge Liang decided to follow the original plan and said to Liu Bei, "Your Majesty, Guanghua Guoshi supported Liu Yi Jianguo as emperor. We should give gifts and congratulations!"
Liu Bei frowned and said, "Sir, we have said before that if the national teacher is emperor, we will send envoys to congratulate each other, and the two countries will jointly fight against Sun Quan and Cao Pi. But now the national teacher takes Liu Yi as the emperor to succeed the Han Dynasty, and the name of the country is the same as ours. Is there two big reason in the world? I'm afraid that the army of the national division will arrive soon. I still don't have to send envoys. It's better to prepare early.
How can Zhuge Liang not understand Liu Bei's worries? At the beginning, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei thought that Nan Ye might be emperor. No matter what country he called after Nan Ye became emperor, he certainly could not be called Han, Wu and Wei! In this way, Nan Ye, Liu Bei, Sun Quan, including Cao Pi, became unreliable four countries. Liu Bei and Nan Ye can completely recognize each other's regimes, establish diplomatic relations, and transform stable alliances into state-to-country cooperation to continue to develop, just like the combination of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
But now Nanye has also established a Han country. It can be said that there is no two days and no two people. The two Han countries must have a true or falsehood, and an orthodoxy must be determined. In this way, there is an irreconcilable contradiction between the two families. It is really ironic that the contradiction between the two countries of the same name is greater than that of different countries.
Zhuge Liang knew that Liu Bei could not fight against Nan Ye no matter how much he prepared at this time, so he could only be a living horse doctor and advised Liu Bei: "Your Majesty is still superior, so that you can use this to test the intention of the national teacher. If it is really irreparable, it's not too late to start another war."
