On the first day of July of the second year of Xingping, Han Dynasty, Yuan Shu changed into the emperor's clothes, rode on the emperor's frame, worshiped heaven and earth in Shouchun, worshiped all kinds of sages, read the edict of the ascension, and then officially ascended the throne.

Founding the country was named Chen.

Then the reign was changed to Longsheng. The areas under the jurisdiction of Chen State all used the Longsheng reign as the orthodox reign, and the Han Dynasty should be abandoned without using the Xingping reign.

In the name of Emperor Chen, Yuan Shu announced that he was defeated by the rebels of Xiliang and captured by the Han emperor Liu Xie was not recognized and deposed by him, and could no longer call himself the emperor.

He chose a county in Jiujiang County, Zhongli County, and then changed it to Zhongli County. As Liu Xie's future fiefdom, he was renamed Zhongli County Duke, which was quasi-hered.

Although he once thought about assassinating Liu Xie, he later thought about it and decided to become emperor first, leaving Liu Xie's life as a bonsai of his new dynasty to show the grandeur of the new dynasty and the orthodox nature of the Han heirs.

He also announced that he would soon lead his troops to attack the rebels of Xiliang and relieve them of their harm to the world.

Liu Xie is no longer the emperor, there is only one true emperor in the world, that is, Yuan Shu and Yuan Benchu.

According to the five virtues, Chen inherited the fire virtue of the Han Dynasty with earth virtue, and then used earth color as the national color, and respected yellow. All the objects used by Yuan Shu were yellow.

Therefore, when Yuan Shu enthroned his concubines, his relatives, and his subordinates as officials, they used yellow silk to convey their will.

For example, when he enthroned several generals under his command, Qiao Rui, Li Feng, Le Ju, Liang Gang and others, and some civil servants, he used yellow silk to convey his enthronement orders.

He conferred general Zhang Xun as general of ches and cavalry, general Ji Ling as general of guard, Qiao Rui, Li Feng, Le Ju, Liang Gang as general of front, back and left and right, and general Liu Xun as general of Lujiang and general of the southern expedition.

Yang Hong was appointed as the prefect of Jiujiang, and the prefect of Jiujiang was appointed as the prefect of Huainan, and Han Yin was appointed as the prefect of Shangshu Ling, etc.

He also issued an edict to grant his legitimate son Yuan Yao the crown prince.

Then, for Sun Ce, who had violated his previous decision to become emperor and did not express his intention to repent, he ordered General Liu Xun of the Conquest to lead his troops to conquer him.

Regarding Tao Qian, who violated his decision to become emperor, he decided to command the imperial army to fight in person and ordered the former general Qiao Rui to lead his army to fight him first.

He decided to start these two beautiful battles to stabilize the situation around him, so that everyone in the world knows how powerful and good at fighting the new Chen Kingdom is.

Then he sent troops to attack Guanzhong, captured Liu Xie, and formally deposed him, thereby confirming the orthodoxy of the Chen Empire.

At the same time, he made the most important order to enthrone Guo Peng and Guo Zifeng as the General of the Cavalry of the Chen Empire and the governor of the military and political affairs of the three prefectures in Hebei.

Then he quietly removed the power of Guo Peng, who was also in charge of Qing and Yanzhou, replaced him with his own people as the governors of Qingzhou and Yanzhou, and sent someone to take office.

He began to realize that Guo Peng's power was very strong and might pose a threat to him. Although he believed that Guo Peng would not do this, in order to better ensure the stability of his country, it would be better to slightly reduce Guo Peng's power.

Moreover, he did not call the general, only Guo Peng was the general of the cavalry, which means that Guo Peng was the first and first soldier in the Great Chen Empire under him. Isn’t such treatment generous enough?

Well, thick is thick enough, if you don’t mention anything else, it is indeed quite thick.

To be fair, Mr. Guo also thinks so.

But this situation is naturally not up to par.

Guo Peng, who lives in Jixian and Xianyufu, heard about the news that Yuan Shu had proclaimed himself emperor at the end of July, as well as the appointments of Yuan Shu, etc. Cheng Yu urgently called Guo Peng back to Puyang County to preside over the overall situation. Now the entire Central Plains is in chaos.

Yuan Shu suddenly became emperor without any warning, caught almost everyone off guard, and had no idea how to deal with Yuan Shu's sudden emperor.

After Guo Peng learned the news, he first became furious with Xian Yufu, calling Yuan Shu extremely absurd.

After being furious, I hid in the room alone and felt that I had finally waited for the opportunity to turn over and become a human being.

After ecstasy, Guo regained his calmness and looked at the appointment given to him by Yuan Shu.

Well, nothing unexpected happens, no surprise at all. General of the Cavalry, hehe, he is willing to take action, and then governors the three prefectures of Hebei, but they have to take away the two prefectures of Qingyan.

Then the country was established with the name Chen and the country was changed to Longsheng.

Guo Peng was not surprised by this country name.

In the original history, Yuan Shu regarded himself as the emperor of Zhong, and this "Zhong" was obviously not a national name.

Since ancient times, the choice of national names of countries has been very particular, and the national names basically originated from many countries enfeoffed by the Zhou Dynasty.

Or the founders used the local area as their birthplace.

For example, the ancestors of the Qin people were granted the title of Qin because they had made contributions to raising horses for the Zhou royal family, so they used Qin as their national name.

For example, Zhao Kuangyin was the governor of Songzhou. Songzhou belonged to the ancient Song Dynasty during the Spring and Autumn Period. After Zhao Kuangyin founded the country, he regarded Song as the national name.

Or it is related to the founder's title.

For example, when Cao Cao was named King of Wei, Cao Pi used Wei as his national name, and Cao Cao was named King of Wei because his base camp, Yecheng, belonged to Wei during the Warring States Period.

The Sui Dynasty was also the case. Yang Jian was named Duke of Sui. After becoming emperor, he thought that Sui's name was inauspicious, so he changed it to Sui and established the Sui Dynasty. During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was also a Sui Kingdom.

The Li Yuan family was named Duke of Tang. Li Yuan raised an army to rebel against Sui and established a new dynasty. This dynasty took Tang as its national name, and the Tang Dynasty also existed in ancient times.

Others such as Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming, Qing, etc. did not follow this rule. After the Song Dynasty, the establishment of national names of major regimes did not follow the ancient system.

However, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was no country "Zhong" existed, and all the titles that Yuan Shu obtained in the Han Empire were not related to the word "Zhong", so the possibility of Zhong being the national name can basically be ruled out.

Zhong itself means ranking second, and most of the time it is used as ranking.

If you have four sons in your family, when you take the character "大子" for the four sons, the first characters can be Bo Zhongshuji.

So strictly speaking, Yuan Shu did not really become emperor.

He usurped the throne, instead of becoming the emperor, took the title of emperor, and wanted to be the emperor, but in the end he did not dare to take the last step. Instead, he used inappropriate means such as being the emperor of Zhong family to satisfy his desires or test the people of the world.

It can also be called preparing to be emperor, preparing to be emperor, but in the end, he did not dare to officially become emperor.

Because at that time, there was a Cao Cao respecting the emperor in Xuchang. It didn't matter, but Cao Cao's military strength was strong. Yuan Shu had been defeated by Cao Cao several times and was more afraid of Cao Cao's military strength.

He knew that his proclaimed emperor would inevitably touch Cao Cao's nerves, and Cao Cao would be his enemy, and would never stop with him, and would enlist troops to attack him, so he was worried.

But Yuan Shu really wanted to be an emperor and was almost crazy, so he had to use a method of preparing to become emperor first and try Cao Cao by the way.

The result was not just Cao Cao, but people from all over the world immediately rose up and attacked Yuan Shu's inappropriate regime to death.

According to Guo’s own understanding, his existence should have wiped out the troubles in the north for Yuan Shu and was Yuan Shu’s “his own person”.

The troubles in the south were very small and were not enough to make Yuan Shu feel scared, so Yuan Shu chose to officially proclaim himself instead of preparing to proclaim himself.

Yuan's family originated from Chen, and the land of Shouchun occupied by Yuan Shu was once the hometown of Chu. Chen and Chu were both countries in the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, and are now occupied by Yuan Shu. Therefore, it is okay for Yuan Shu to use "Chen" or "Chu" as the name of the country. It depends on how Yuan Shu himself chose.

Now Yuan Shu chose Chen instead of Chu, probably because he was afraid that Chu was once the national name of Xiang Yu, or that the Chu people called themselves barbarians, and were not as orthodox as Chen was a descendant of Yu Shun.

Under the leadership of Yuan Shu, the Chen Empire was established in Shouchun, officially established the country, and announced the dethrone of the Han emperor Liu Xie and replaced the Han to rule the world. Yuan Shu's goal was very high from the beginning.

He wanted to immediately eliminate the rebellious officials from the surrounding areas, then attack Guanzhong, seize Liu Xie, formally depose Liu Xie, and establish his orthodoxy.

This is very good.

This is a complete set of national founding plans. If Yuan Shu really operates like this, if nothing unexpected happens, he may be able to establish a unified Chen Empire.

But how could Mr. Guo allow him to be without surprise?
