Chen Ling was very excited about being able to subdue these talents, but he was very dissatisfied with their performance of kneeling down.
"All of you, stand up. The men of Huaxia kneel to the heavens, kneel to their parents, and no one else, not even the emperor, can make you kneel.
From now on, anyone who kneels before others will never be hired.”Chen Ling shouted loudly.
Swoosh!
A group of people stood up excitedly. Some of them even shed tears of excitement.
How many years had it been?
During the Han and Tang Dynasties, they had never knelt before.
However, in these two hundred years, they were used to kneeling.
Now, a wise ruler had finally appeared, and they no longer needed to kneel.
Just like that, Chen Ling had become a wise ruler in their hearts.
"Wu Pingquan, tell me, what do you think of the current situation?”
After a while, Chen Ling asked again after they had calmed down.
"Milord, the current situation is not good. With Daren's strength, he doesn't need to worry about the other governors at all. However, Daren will have to face even more dangers.
The western powers would not let go of this opportunity. They would definitely make a move against Daren.”Wu Pingquan said seriously.
"Why?" Chen Ling asked with a smile.
"Because the superpowers don't want to see a complete country. That would hinder them from dividing up China.
The appearance of Daren was their best chance. As long as they destroyed Daren in the name of helping the Qing Dynasty regain its rule, they would be able to do so.
At that time, the central court would not be able to control the area, and the western powers would not let the court control the area.
At that time, the western powers would want to see their territories split apart.”
Wu Pingquan said with a frown.
"Very good. You can calmly analyze the situation. However, you don't have to worry about the western powers at all.
As long as we fight on land, I will kill as many of them as they come.”
Chen Ling was very confident. If he had the system, he wouldn't even be able to defeat the superpowers before the first battle. He might as well kill himself.
Just like what Wu Pingquan had said, once the governors conquered the land and he could not defeat them to unify the country, the country would really be finished.
Fortunately, he had cheated and was not afraid of losing.
"Milord, since Milord is confident in the western powers, then Milord should now consider the issue of inheriting the throne.”Wu Pingquan said again.
"Yes, I will ask Guangxu to write an edict later. He will abdicate and I will inherit the throne.
In the future, there would be no Qing Dynasty, only the Chinese Empire.”Chen Ling said excitedly.
The Chinese Empire!
In the middle of the four directions, it was the central country.
"Long live the Chinese Empire!"
When Chen Ling announced the name of the country, cheers of long live rang out in Taihe Palace.
Chen Ling really wanted to scold them. Long live them, how could long live be enough?
What he wanted was for the Chinese Empire to rest with the heavens, for the heavens and the earth to remain intact, and for China to remain intact.
He even wanted to shout that the world would be destroyed, but China would survive. The universe would decay, but China would be immortal.
However, thinking about it, this slogan was a little stupid. In addition, he had just occupied Beijing and Zhili. His slogan was too big, but his territory was so small. It was a little embarrassing.
It would be more appropriate to call him that when he unified the country, or even the world.
At this moment, Chen Ling suddenly realized that he could see the loyalty of these people in front of him through the system.
Not only their loyalty, but even their records of what they did could be found in their personal details.
This way, Chen Ling would not be afraid of any traitors.
Once he found a problem, Chen Ling could get rid of the person directly and would not accuse the innocent person.
The system was awesome.
After announcing the name of the country, Chen Ling began to appoint them.
Although the territory was small now, it was easy to establish government agencies and nurture talents.
In the future, when he conquered new territory, he could send people over to take over. It would not be like before, when he conquered the capital and had no subordinates.
"Wu Pingquan, I hereby appoint you as the Prime Minister and Chief Shi of the Capital…"
"Yuan Lin, I hereby appoint you as the governor of Zhili Province…"
"Xie Kun, I appoint you as the chief of Tianjin…"
Chen Ling announced a series of appointments. Finally, the framework of the government was set up. Although it was still very simple, it could be slowly supplemented.
After the appointment, Chen Ling had Guangxu thank him for an edict.
The general meaning was that he was not good enough as an emperor. He was guilty of the country and the people. He did not have the ability to do so, so he abdicated and let Chen Ling inherit the throne.
Then, Chen Ling wrote another imperial edict, saying that he would inherit the throne today and work hard to defeat the foreign powers and restore the prestige of the Chinese Empire. At the same time, because the name Qing Dynasty was not good, from today onwards, it would be renamed the Chinese Empire.
After settling the two edicts, Chen Ling also issued the first order, which was to cut the braids.
Keep the braid, not the head, keep the head, not the braid.
