Chapter 174 The country name... China

The throne ceremony was so simple that it was almost unbelievable. But as it was, Lu Xuan was loved by a large group of "scholars". He didn't need to promote it himself. Within a few days, the entire streets and alleys began to spread. Lu Xuan was frugal and wise, and he would be the emperor of the ages in the future.

I have to say that most scholars are more likely to see than those ordinary people who have never studied. Lu Xuan once entered the city, he beat the civil and military officials in the court by 90% as soon as he entered the city. What does this mean? Lu Xuan looked down on scholars? No, this means that countless official positions have been vacant...

During the Zhu Yuanzhang era, ministers were slaughtered. The ministers in the court were killed twice. But there were still countless scholars who continued to join the court and wanted to become officials. The same thing, in the Central Plains dynasty, were you afraid that no one wanted to become an official?

Such a great opportunity is placed in front of you. Who doesn't want this benefit to fall on your head? You have to lick it hard so that the superiors can promote it. Lu Xuan has lived up to expectations and promoted a group of reserve officers of the court. They are those scholars who have fame but have no space and can only wait at home.

Many of these people have some knowledge, and most of them have no relationship with the court and China. On the contrary, they are the most suitable for the current situation.

This series of changes in the capital lasted for nearly a month. The new emperor level, the court changed blood, and everything returned to normal. However, these had nothing to do with the people in the capital. They now have a bigger melon to eat. That is, Zhu Youjian has a result.

Lu Xuan gave Zhu Youjian five hundred people and asked him to arrest the ministers who betrayed him by himself. Then he raided their homes. Zhu Youjian had no experience in this matter. But after the first time, his eyes turned red.

A month later, when Lu Xuan met Zhu Youjian again, he was in a royal villa. And beside him were countless hills made of gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings. It was a real mountain...

"It seems that I won the bet back then." Lu Xuan said with a smile.

"You won. I have found someone to estimate that the gold and silver alone are about 70 million taels. Including these jewelry, calligraphy and painting antiques, the wealth in this yard is nearly 150 million taels!" When he said this, Zhu Youjian's tone was filled with an indescribable complexity.

How could there be so much money? In the Ming Dynasty, there were no two million taels. But the nobles in the capital only had 150 million taels? What does this mean? Ten years of Liaodong military pay was more than enough. But why is this money no longer in the Ming Dynasty's treasury, but in the hands of those mixed men who were scattered outside.

150 million taels are similar to Lu Xuan's estimate. After all, in history, after Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he tortured him and said that he had produced a total of 80 million taels. This is not the end. Later, the Qing Dynasty entered Beijing and almost plundered such a number. From this we can see how strong the Ming Dynasty was.

The three hundred years of dynasty accumulation fell into the hands of these corrupt officials by the end. No wonder Zhu Youjian didn't know how to face this situation now.

"His Majesty......"

"Don't be humiliating me like this, you are Your Majesty now. I am just a remnant of the previous dynasty."

"Okay, Brother Zhu. You should listen carefully to what I will say next. I have made some arrangements about your Zhu family."

Lu Xuan had thought of many arrangements for the Ming Dynasty royal family. First of all, Lu Xuan never thought of killing him quickly. After all, overall, the Ming Dynasty had a good character. At least it was the only dynasty in history that had no marriage.

What Lu Xuan couldn't stand the most was that no matter whether it was his advantages or disadvantages, he would marry his princess to those alien races at any time. Has anyone ever thought about what would a feudal dynasty, a pampered girl, who was driven to the grassland?

If he does not submit to his subordinates, does not marry, does not pay tribute, the emperor will guard the country's borders, and the king will die in the country. With this ancestral teaching, Lu Xuan would keep the blood of the Zhu family. In the end, Zhu Youjian committed suicide and died for his country. As the king of the country who destroyed his country, he abides by the ancestral teachings, and Lu Xuan felt that it deserves some respect.

"I will leave Wansui Mountain for you. Then there will be some modifications, and you can bring your tribe members in. There is also the army of Guo Zhen, the Imperial Horse Supervisor, from then on, it will be a special royal guard."

The royal gardens of the Ming Dynasty were divided into six places: Imperial Garden, Cining Palace Garden, Wansui Mountain, Xiyuan, Dongyuan, and Tuyuan. Among them, Wansui Mountain was not for residence. The location of this garden was located on the ruins of the Yuan Dynasty. From a Feng Shui perspective, it was to suppress the fortune of the Yuan Dynasty.

"Your Zhu family is the last royal bloodline of China. I will let you continue as much as possible. In this way, my Chinese civilization will never be cut off. Your ancestors have conquered this country, so just treat it as Yu Yin left by your ancestors."

"What about the other nobles?"

"You don't have to worry about those people. You just need one symbol of China."

Zhu Youjian was silent. To be honest, this was the best result. He originally thought that his Zhu family would not keep the family. But now it seems that the other party not only plans to keep him, but also wants to continue his family.

"If you... keep my Zhu family, aren't you afraid that there will be loyal and righteous people from my Zhu family in the future, and do the same thing as you?"

"Hahahaha." Lu Xuan laughed out loud when he heard this.

"Don't say, I'm not afraid. Do you believe it or not, in my lifetime, I will be able to completely disappear those so-called loyal and righteous people. Don't show that expression. I won't send people to chase them. I will let them forget it myself."

There was another silence. Lu Xuan finally felt that Zhu Youjian was in a bad mood.

"Don't be too happy too early. You royal family don't let you have fun here all day. As the first symbol of the Chinese royal family, you also need to take on certain responsibilities. In the future, when you go to foreign countries and meet with envoys from other countries, you still need to come forward. At that time, you will be the face of this country."

Zhu Youjian's face eased slightly. What he feared most was that the descendants of the Zhu family were treated like pigs. Then at a certain period of time, they were dragged out to slaughter. Now it seems that Lu Xuan really wanted to keep them.

"Lu Xuan, I have a question I want to ask you. I hope you can answer truthfully."

"Ask, I'll try to answer."

"Since you have ascended the throne, I noticed that you have not established your country name yet. I don't know if you have any ideas in your heart."

"A good question. I have been struggling with this for a long time. But just now, I thought of one. Why not call it Huaxia."
