It is easy to conquer the world and difficult to live in the world. After entering Dadu, Song Xuan directly issued an order to change Dadu to the Imperial Capital.

After Li Shanchang and others arranged the follow-up matters in Jinling City, they led the Ministry of Interior's official army to the imperial capital as soon as possible.

This move is self-evident, that is, the establishment of the new dynasty, and the capital should be regarded as the capital.

This order naturally attracted a lot of attention, and even Xu Dalan Yu and others submitted memorials to advise Marshal Song to consider it again.

They are all southerners and have land industries in the Jinling realm, so they naturally don’t want to leave the prosperous place of Jinling and settle in the north.

But Song Xuan's will was extremely firm, and no one could change his decision.

More than ten days later, Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen led a group of civil servants in Jinling City and finally arrived at the imperial capital.

As soon as they arrived at the imperial capital, the two of them didn't even want to rest, so they hurried to the imperial city to meet the lord Song Xuan.

In the imperial study room, Song Xuan talked with these two civil officials whom he relied most for a long time. In the end, the two failed to persuade the founding Taizu to establish the imperial capital.

The next morning, Song Xuan changed into a black dragon robe under the service of the eunuch, and later arrived at the Ming Palace.

The Ming Palace was generally rarely used during the Yuan Dynasty, and the court meeting was only held here during major rituals or important decisions.

When we arrived at the Ming Palace, there were already civil and military officials standing on both sides.

This is the first time that Song Xuan officially held a grand dynasty meeting after entering the imperial capital.

It is logical that Song Xuan had not yet officially ascended the throne and began to wear dragon robes and disagree with etiquette.

But Song Xuan didn't care about this. The whole world was defeated. He would wear whatever he wanted. Who dares to object?

With the awe-inspiring and fanatical gazes of all the civil and military officials in the hall, Song Xuan sat upright on the dragon throne and looked around the people in the hall.

The next moment, Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen were the first to bow and bow directly.

"Long live my emperor!"

The civil and military officials then knelt down and bowed, "Long live my emperor!"

With the sound of long live the mountain, the first major dynasty meeting of the new dynasty has officially begun.

Then, the first issue of the grand dynasty meeting was not to grant the title of marquis and reward the meritorious officials, but to discuss the country's name.

The Jinling regime was so fast that Li Shanchang and others had no time to think about the country's name, their lord had already taken the throne.

Then, the hall suddenly became lively.

All kinds of messy national names were recommended, and even people mentioned the national names such as the Divine Dynasty and the Celestial Dynasty. Song Xuan was very interested in reading it.

In the end, under the expectations of civil and military officials, he, the emperor of the new dynasty, recklessly chose the word "wu" as the national name.

All officials did not have much opinion on this.

Just like Zhang Wuji started his career with the Ming Cult and named Ming after establishing the country, it is not surprising that Song Xuan came from the Wudang Sect and used Wu as the country's name.

Of course, the civil servants were still a little unhappy.

This country name makes them feel as if they are humbled by the military officer.

The country's name was determined and the Wu Dynasty was first established. Next, we naturally discussed matters such as the ascension of the throne.

The emperor's ascension to the throne is the top priority. Only after the new emperor ascends the throne can they be rewarded, such as the founding heroes.

The matter of ascension to the throne was very complicated. Some civil servants of the Ministry of the Interior quoted scriptures and talked about a lot of etiquettes of ascension to the throne, which made Song Xuan feel sleepy and impatient.

In the end, he waved his sleeves and made arbitrary decisions. All the messy and complicated rituals were cancelled, leaving behind the most important ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven.

As for the date of ascending the throne, it is set on the first day of January and the day when everything is renewed.

When the Wu Dynasty was first established, the civil and military team naturally needed to be reconstructed.

During the dynasty meeting, Song Xuan did not establish six ministries as in previous dynasties, but split the Ministry of Interior into three departments.

Ministry of Civil Affairs, Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Justice.

On the side of the military officer, Emperor Wu Song Xuan set up a military headquarters to take charge of military affairs.

The four major departments are relatively independent, and the heads of the department are all first-rank officials, so they are directly responsible to the emperor!

The head of the four major departments, Song Xuan, immediately made an appointment in the court.

The head of the Ministry of Civil Affairs was Li Shanchang, who was the leader of all officials. Although he did not have the name of a prime minister, he was actually a prime minister.

In the position of head of the Ministry of Finance, Song Xuan arranged Hu Qian, the first minister from Long Zhi.

He has already given the treatment he deserves. As for whether Hu Qian, a speculator, can hold a firm position, it depends on his own ability.

As for the Ministry of Justice, which has the power of supervising officials, legislation and other powers, Song Xuan naturally handed over to Liu Bowen.

There was no sound in the court when Song Xuan appointed these three civil officials. Both the qualifications and achievements of these three people were there, and no one dared to say anything more.

However, when the military chief was appointed, there were differences among the officials in the court.

In terms of military merit, Lan Yu and Xu Da are of course the highest, but Zhu Yuanzhang and Chang Yuchun are not inferior at all. For a moment, it was difficult to determine who should be the chief of the military headquarters.

Although these four people are all from Fengyang County and have close relationships, their generals and officers don’t care about this. Who doesn’t want their heads to be the first person in the military?

In the end, Song Xuan decided to take charge, and Zhu Yuanzhang took charge.

After all, he was the Ming Taizu in history and naturally had the ability, so there is no doubt about this.

If Song Xuan could only stay in this world for a year, this person would naturally be the first person he would deal with.

But now the situation is different. He can easily survive the civil and military officials of the court until he dies. The master's master's achievements are completely unfair to him.

The four major departments in the court established the government, and civil and military officials discussed the local administrative system.

Civil officials unanimously agreed that the reason why the Yuan Dynasty perished was not only because of its brutal rule, but also one thing was that the management of the local area was too loose.

The people are dead or alive, they don’t care. As long as the local gentry, tyrants, tyrants, and even ordinary people do whatever they like, the court doesn’t care at all.

In other dynasties, the imperial power did not go to the countryside, but during the Yuan Dynasty, the imperial power could not even reach the county level.

The officials of the court lacked real power, and most of the power was in the hands of local gentry and powerful people, and were not controlled by local governments at all.

Li Shanchang and other civil officials unanimously agreed that it is particularly important to go to the countryside to form households and people, and various government orders of the court must be clearly assigned to the first level of the township.

Song Xuan recognized their views and divided the local administrative levels into five levels: province, prefecture, county, township and village.

The establishment of inspection stations in each township is actually similar to the township police stations in later generations. The director takes the position of a ninth rank, which can greatly strengthen the imperial court's control over local villages.

As a newly established dynasty, the system will inevitably be impossible to improve, and there will always be various mistakes.

But Song Xuan didn't care. As long as he lived long enough, he would have time to improve it a little bit.
