Chapter 323
When Wang Shi saw the word "world" written by Ye Zheng on the desk, he instantly understood Ye Zheng's lofty ambitions. Suddenly, he could not suppress the excitement in his heart. He suddenly felt a fanatical light emitted in his eyes. He knelt on the ground and surrendered from the bottom of his heart: "Master, from today on, my subordinates will be willing to follow the Lord and go through fire and water, and have no regrets and regrets. Please pay a respect for a low position."
Hearing that Wang Zi suddenly called himself the emperor and knelt down and bowed to the great tribute of the monarch and ministers, Ye Zheng couldn't help but feel shocked in his heart. He hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up and said, "Sir, what are you doing? What kind of virtues are Ye? Let Mr. perform this great monarch and ministers. Please get up quickly, please get up quickly, don't break Ye."
There is a reason why Ye Zheng was so moved. You must know that at that time, the names between people were very particular. Ordinary servants, subordinates and guards all called their masters, masters, generals, etc., but it is extremely rare to call their masters the emperor.
You should know that once you call your master the king, then you will unconditionally be marked with the master's mark in your life. As long as you recognize the king, from now on, he must unconditionally maintain the highest loyalty and give everything to the king at any time, such as his life, because once you recognize the king, everything about him will no longer belong to him, and everything belongs to the king. For these great rituals of recognizing the king, especially those scholars, they regard it much more important than their own lives.
Therefore, no matter how much they admire and admire their masters, no matter how much they bear the favor of their masters and superiors, they will not easily perform the great gift of worshiping the emperor.
Now that Wang Qi has performed the ceremony of worshiping the king wholeheartedly, he will have to do his best in the future and obey Ye Zheng's orders without complaints. Therefore, from Ye Zheng's perspective, this is undoubtedly a great event worthy of happiness.
In this way, ten years later, the most powerful pair of monarchs and ministers in the world performed the first monarch and ministers in such a small wing room. It was Wang Xu's devoted worship, which made Ye Taizu listed him as one of the gold medal confidants. At this point, the allusion of common people's clothes and Han worshiping the king has been passed down through the ages.
Many years later, those literati who studied history were very curious about Wang Qi's magical life. They all wanted to know why the first prime minister of the founding country was powerful for decades, but never aroused the suspicion of Ye Taizu. Instead, they were promoted to Gaosheng all the way, and even performed the king-level funeral ceremony after their death. What happened in the middle, and why Wang Qi was so popular and loved by Emperor Taizu.
However, these are all later stories. Let’s not talk about it for now. Let’s move on to the main topic.
At this time, Ye Zheng invited Wang Qi back to the seat with a smile on his face, and politely poured him a cup of tea, which made Wang Qi very flattered.
The two of them drank tea for a while, and when their mood was almost calm, Ye Zheng looked up and said, "Sir, you just said that we can't return to desolate now, and we must stick to Jinzhou City. Why is this?"
Wang Xu smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, you may not know that this will be the best time for you to plan for the world's hegemony. If we return to Desolation like this, we probably won't encounter such a good opportunity in the future."
Hearing this, Ye Zheng felt aroused and asked, "How do you say this? Ye would like to hear it carefully."
Wang Qi's face turned right and he said slowly: "Your Majesty, you should be very clear about the fact that King Liang is about to lead the army back to the army for rescue."
Ye Zheng nodded and said, "Well, I know this. According to the information I found, King Liang has led tens of thousands of elite troops to Zhouhe Town at this time. It is estimated that they will be at the city of Jinzhou in at most three days. If they do not leave, there will probably be another bloody battle."
Hearing this, Wang Xu shook his head and said, "Your Highness is worried. This time, the chaos in Qingjiang County is in chaos, and Qingzhou Jinzhou has been captured by the Lord Highness. I believe that the Liang King who came out of the pass to seek rebellion is more anxious and worried than anyone else. Because the loss of Jinzhou will inevitably cut off the food and grass supply in Cangliang Pass. Over time, it will definitely cause panic in the army. However, because the governors of the seven counties outside the pass rebelled and independent, although the Liang King stationed hundreds of thousands of troops outside the pass, it is unlikely to defeat the rebellion in a short time. Because according to reliable news, the seven counties outside the pass have formed an alliance and are ready to work together to resist the clearance of the imperial army. This is actually a headache for King Liang. However, it is not these that the Liang King worried the most, but another thing, and the King should be able to guess this matter."
After hearing what he said, Ye Zheng suddenly figured out something and said with his eyes: "Sir, is it that after we occupied Jinzhou and cut off the food and grass supplies of Cangliang Pass, once this matter reaches the rebels of the seven counties outside the pass, they will definitely feel that Qingjiang County is in chaos and Liang's army's food and grass are cut off. They will definitely be eyeing Cangliang Pass. Maybe they will take this opportunity to break Cangliang Pass in one fell swoop, and Qingjiang County will be really finished by then."
Wang Xu smiled and said, "Your Majesty is indeed wise. You can guess the key point as soon as you guess. Yes, this is the thing that King Liang must be most worried about at this moment. So no matter how urgent the situation outside the pass is, he must come back as soon as possible to relieve internal troubles and stabilize the morale of the army on the front line. Therefore, if King Liang returns to Jinzhou City this time, he will definitely recover Jinzhou City at all costs and solve our fatal troubles."
Hearing this, Ye Zheng smiled coldly and said, "If I really make up my mind to defend Jinzhou City, I can't take back Jinzhou from my hands with the more than 100,000 troops brought back by King Liang. This is a pity. It's really not a big problem for me to defend Jinzhou City. The problem will take too much time. If the court continues to send troops to recover Jinzhou, then our situation will be very dangerous."
