Chapter 124: Rushing To Become The King
Liu Biao, Liu Dai and other Liu clan members were all very happy after receiving Dong Zhuo's decree to make them kings, but they were secretly worried in their hearts.
Arrogantly claiming the title of king will arouse the resentment of various princes and lead to their crusade.
He was undecided for a while, everyone was waiting and watching.
Liu Yan, the pastor of Yizhou, originally had the idea of proclaiming himself king, and this imperial decree was tailor-made for him.
He immediately rode a golden chariot and six horses, proclaimed himself alone in the south, proclaimed himself king in Chengdu, and enfeoffed all the civil and military officials in Yizhou wantonly.
Seeing Liu Yan taking the lead in proclaiming himself king, all the officials and military officers in Jingzhou could not restrain their eagerness to move.
Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others jointly submitted a letter requesting Liu Biao to proclaim himself king.
Liu Biao pretended to refuse the imperial edict to make him a king, so he turned around and led all the civil and military officials in Jingzhou to pray to the great ancestor Liu Bang.
After a ceremony, he was affirmed by Liu Bang and was declared the King of Chu.
Liu Yan and Liu Biao, two clan members of the Han Dynasty, became kings one after another. Yuan Shu, who was immoral and incompetent, overrode himself and became king, and even set his sights on Huainan.
Liu Yao, the shepherd of Yangzhou, simply stopped pretending. With the support of his subordinates, he accepted the imperial edict and called himself King of Wu.
After Liu Yao became king, Sun Ce led his subordinates to join Liu Yao on Zhou Yu's suggestion.
Facing the menacing Yuan Shu's army, Zhou Yu suggested to Liu Yao to call on all the princes to attack Yuan Shu, a rebellious minister and traitor, on the grounds that Yuan Shu was not named Liu and had assumed the title of king.
The two sides are working hard, deploying large armies, and hoarding them on the Huainan front line. The Huainan War, which is based on the excuse of the throne but is actually an external expansion, is about to come.
Liu Yan, Liu Biao and Liu Yao all became kings one after another. With the emperor's edict, Liu Yu and Liu Dai could no longer sit still.
Liu Dai proclaimed himself king in Yanzhou and became the king of Wei.
Liu Yu, with the support of many civil servants and generals, was known as the King of Yan.
Suddenly, the Han Dynasty had five more kings surnamed Liu and a king with a different surname, Yuan Shu, and countless more marquises.
The whole man was like a pot of hot porridge, and Jia Xu threw an empty bowl at the powerful princes.
These people were almost carried away, picked up the bowl, and wanted to put away all the hot porridge.
There are very few people like Cao Cao who can keep a cool head and resist temptation.
Bingzhou, Jinyang.
Luo Wang had already gathered intelligence from all over the country and handed it over to Ying Xi.
Naturally, Ying Xi also learned about the fact that Liu Yan and Liu Biao became kings one after another, and that Yuan Shu proclaimed himself king.
"Then Dong Zhuo actually came up with the idea of making the king a king. This good show stirred up the situation in the world and caused the princes to fight in a melee, making it even more exciting.
"At this time of great chaos in the world, what do you think should happen to me, the king and my lord?"
Ying Xi had already had his own ideas, and did not mean to be arbitrary. He still pretended to convene Wang Meng, Yao Guangxiao and others for discussion.
"Amitabha."
Yao Guangxiao sang a Buddhist chant, stood up first, clasped his hands and said: "My lord is a descendant of the First Emperor, and it is his mission to overthrow the Han Dynasty and rebuild the Qin Dynasty."
Ying Xi Now that the Han family is weak, the young emperor is under Dong Zhuo's control and has no effect. "
"Furthermore, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and others have all been crowned kings one after another, and You Gong cannot succumb to others.
"The great monk suggested that my lord accept this imperial edict and ascend to the throne of Jin, and then use the merging of states as the basis to conquer all the princes, unify the world, and restore Qin's hegemony."
Yao Guangxiao's suggestion is naturally simple and crude.
Proclaim yourself king first, and if anyone disobeys, you will be beaten until you obey.
Black Monk's thoughts coincided with Ying Xi's.
After Ying Xi nodded, he was not in a hurry to express his opinion, but instead turned his gaze. Put it on Wang Meng, Tian Feng, Wei Zheng and others.
Wei Zheng couldn't sit still and stood up and said: "My lord brought all the more than 200,000 people around Luoyang into Bingzhou and gave them a way to survive.
"In addition to the policies we implemented, enriching the people and raising troops, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the people of the annexed state are all grateful to the lord."
"If the people's support can be used, why can't we talk about major things?"
Although Wei Zheng did not say it explicitly, he told the most important point: those who win the hearts of the people win the world.
Tian Feng then had no idea of staying out of the matter, and followed closely behind him, stood up and bowed to Ying Xi:
"Although Tian Feng is a pedantic person, he is not the kind of person who does not understand the general situation and ignores the overall situation. The officers and soldiers of the three armies are dedicated to their lives, and the people are eagerly waiting for him to beg the lord to ascend the throne.
Wang Meng, Xue Rengui and other civil servants and generals all knelt down and begged: "We request that your lord be promoted to the throne."
"If my lord becomes the king, he will definitely make a large number of ministers. I, Old Cheng, can also reap some benefits and maybe even be promoted to three levels in a row."
Cheng Yaojin smiled from ear to ear, and was already planning in his mind that when Ying Xi became the King of Jin, he would be promoted to a higher rank.
"Ding! The host triggers the task of reviving the Qin Dynasty: saying that he is lonely and has few people."
"As a descendant of the First Emperor, the host takes the restoration of the Qin State as his own responsibility. He should call on the world to ascend the throne as king, call himself a lonely Taoist, lead the king's army, pacify the world, and restore the Qin Dynasty."
"The mission reward is two random technological blueprints. If the mission fails, the host will have no chance of becoming king or the throne in the future."
The system has already released tasks, so what else can be said about the profit?
He glanced at everyone, stood up slowly, walked step by step outside the lobby, and looked up at the sunny sky.
"I have decided to take over the throne and become king."
"Yao Guangxiao is responsible for the specific matters of proclaiming the king, and Wang Meng, Xue Rengui, and civil and military officials at all levels in Bingzhou fully cooperate.
"In one month's time, I will hold a founding ceremony in Jinyang to announce it to the world."
"Send messengers to inform the princes and Dong Zhuo to send people to watch the ceremony."
Ying Xi knew very well that calling himself king with a different surname would definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the princes from all walks of life, and some princes would even be filled with righteous indignation and attack him verbally and writing.
Most of them also use lip service to criticize themselves on the surface.
As long as their bottom line of interests is not touched, it is impossible for these people to take military action and go all the way to Bingzhou to die.
Even if Dong Zhuo's threat was not so great that Yuan Shao and other aristocratic families were frightened, they would not have been able to gather eighteen princes to attack him.
After all, it was his own King's Ceremony. No matter what the princes thought, he was a polite person and could not lose his etiquette during the King's Ceremony.
"promise!"
Everyone held their hands together, with unconcealable smiles on their faces. .
