No one objected; he was just a former crown prince, and couldn't cause any trouble at all.
The Great Liang Dynasty is now in complete control. Even if Li Anlan were to be resurrected, he would not be able to shake the Great Liang Dynasty in the slightest, let alone Li Qiankun.
However, this is probably not good news for Princess Shenle.
Unless she wants her future son to be barred from the throne, she will never let this crown prince go. He is the rightful heir of the Great Ning Dynasty; any connection to him would mean the end of his chances.
"Alright, let's put this matter aside for now, next question!"
Lin Yi didn't want to discuss this issue too much; his main goal now was to establish the Great Liang.
Only by possessing a complete and unified regime can resources be allocated more coordinatedly and appropriately, and further conquest of the Western Regions and other places is imperative.
This is of paramount importance.
At this moment, Xun Yu stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, the enthronement ceremony has been confirmed. April 27th is an auspicious day, symbolizing a soaring dragon in the sky and the rebirth of vitality. It is the best day in the past two months."
This has been repeatedly calculated and confirmed by the imperial advisor Zhang Jiao, so there is absolutely no problem.
"There are only twenty days left, time is very tight. Thank you for your hard work!" Lin Yi nodded slightly and said in a deep voice.
The preparations before ascending the throne are no small matter. Not only is it necessary to confirm the territorial system, but also to finalize the laws and regulations. The amount of work involved is enormous.
Xun Yu nodded slightly, but said with some difficulty, "Your Majesty, everything else has been basically confirmed, but there is still one major problem that needs to be solved!"
"What big problem?" Lin Yi was slightly taken aback and frowned.
Xun Yu is a top-notch talent in domestic affairs, known as a strategist capable of assisting a king. It's somewhat unbelievable that he would encounter such a problem.
Upon hearing this, Xun Yu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, under your leadership, our Great Liang has unified the entire All Under Heaven, annexing the Northern Region Barbarians, the Great Ning Dynasty, the Western Regions kingdoms of the Western Regions, and the southern chieftains, covering the four directions of east, west, south, and north."
This vast territory is home to diverse ideologies, lifestyles, and cultures; sooner or later, it's bound to cause serious problems!
The Northern Region Barbarians are completely adoptive, the Great Ning Dynasty is a place of ease and comfort, the southern chieftains are rampant with bandits, and the Western Regions are even more different. These four groups can coexist peacefully for a short time, but if left unchecked, they will definitely descend into chaos.
"This is indeed a problem, a big problem!"
Everyone's pupils constricted. They hadn't noticed this problem at first, since everything would eventually submit to Great Liang Great Liang army. However, this issue undoubtedly still posed a hidden danger.
This is a tricky problem!
"Haha, things won't get out of control!"
Upon hearing Xun Yu's words, a smile flashed in Lin Yi's eyes, and he immediately shook his head. Perhaps others didn't know how to solve it, but he knew perfectly well that there were precedents for this.
With a flourish of his pen, he wrote down a line of large characters.
[Standardize the written language!]
[Use the same gauge for all vehicles!]
[Same system!]
[Currency Unification!]
[Ideological and cultural education!]
These few words, though brief, are something Qin Shi Huang proved through his own experience. The fact that Huaxia has maintained its north-south divide despite thousands of years of changes is sufficient proof of the system's rationality.
Even today, it remains a reliable choice for treating the Great Liang.
Lin Yi glanced at everyone and began to explain.
"To integrate them, we must break down the old and establish a new and unified set of rules, namely, standardizing the written language, the gauge of carts, the weights and measures, and the currency!"
This is the first day; the second step is cultural assimilation and unification in terms of beliefs.
In this way, they are essentially unified. If this unity cannot be achieved, then they are nothing but dregs, and one should sacrifice the individual for the greater good!
"Rational!"
Everyone nodded in agreement. Their lord had brought out such a powerful weapon; if those dimwits still didn't know what was good for them, then they would only be sent to their deaths.
After all, compared to ideological unity, the dead are the most unified beings.
Zhang Jiao, however, could no longer remain seated. He stood up and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, today I traveled through the cosmos and received a decree from Heaven. It says that Your Majesty has unified the All Under Heaven and rendered great service to the nation. Therefore, a Fengshan ceremony should be held at Heavenly Emperor Peak to worship Heaven and proclaim Your Majesty's great achievements!"
"Wandering in the void?"
Everyone's lips twitched. This bastard is just trying to flatter, why is he acting so mysteriously? Let him swim for me and see what happens.
"Fengshan!"
Lin Yi was amused. This was just a replica of the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai in his previous life, except that he didn't have Mount Tai here; instead, he had the Heavenly Emperor Peak.
Heavenly Emperor Peak is no ordinary peak; it is the backbone of the Eastern Continent!
Although it is not the highest peak, it has a unique legend. It is said that this was once the place where the gods in heaven enlightened the emperors on earth, so it was eventually called the Heavenly Emperor Peak.
This Heavenly Emperor Peak is incredibly impressive, and it can also serve as an opportunity to intimidate Western foreign tribes and reassure the people.
Moreover, Heavenly Emperor Peak is located within the territory, a place that can be reached in very little time, making it a low-cost opportunity to win over the hearts and minds of the people.
Letting them go would be incredibly foolish.
He nodded slightly and instructed Zhang Jiao, "Leave this matter to the Grand Preceptor. If necessary, Ma Jun can be brought in for assistance. It must be a stroke of genius!"
"I understand!" Zhang Jiao chuckled, instantly grasping the meaning.
Ma Jun possessed a considerable amount of cutting-edge technology and was the technical supporter of his own miracles. With him present, the Fengchan Ceremony was bound to produce some auspicious omens.
"This Fengshan ceremony was excellent; it's more than enough for our lord's achievements!"
Everyone's eyes lit up. Although Zhang Jiao's actions might have seemed like flattery, this move was absolutely brilliant.
Our lord is the rightful heir of heaven and earth. If we were to perform the Fengshan ceremony at the Heavenly Emperor Peak, it would further confirm our lord's achievements and thus promote the reshaping of the Great Liang kingdom. This is absolutely reliable.
Lin Yi nodded slightly and smiled, "Then let us announce it to the All Under Heaven: in twenty days, I will ascend the throne at Heavenly Emperor Peak and simultaneously perform the Fengshan ceremony to formally declare the establishment of the Great Liang. All Under Heaven are welcome to come and witness the ceremony!"
"Your Majesty is wise!" Everyone was overjoyed; this had truly caused a great stir.
Lin Yi nodded slightly, looked at Xun Yu and the others, and smiled, "Then I will trouble you all. The division of the various territories and the renaming of the regions all need to be carefully checked. I will reward you accordingly."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Everyone's eyes lit up; their lord actually offered a reward! This was quite interesting.
For them, they already hold high positions of power, and any additional rewards are an honor, which they can never have too many of.
