Li Zhen had no intention of verbally quarreling with the officials in Xichuan. What he was waiting for was a suitable opportunity. Now that the opportunity had come, he stopped going around and went straight to the topic.
"The prince of a certain family intends to reassert the emperor's authority and implement the policy of the Warring States Period!"
Another sentence that shocked everyone.
"Following the Warring States Period" has a long history. One hundred and twenty years ago, Chengde Jiedushi Wang Wujun, Lulong Jiedushi Zhu Tao, Wei Bo Jiedushi Tian Yue, and Ziqing Jiedushi Li Na were called King of Zhao and King of Ji respectively.
, the king of Wei and the king of Qi, and established hundreds of officials, and began to "follow the Warring States Period". Although the "Four Kingdoms" were only two years old, they withdrew from the country in despair amidst the condemnation of the world, but this sign has been hidden in the world since then.
into the hearts of warriors all over the world.
After the Huangchao Rebellion, the power of the warriors became more and more uncontrollable. Although Emperor Li Ye made efforts to restore the authority of the central government, he unfortunately failed. In order to continue the Li and Tang Dynasty, some important officials in the DPRK raised the matter again, hoping that
At least it was possible to preserve Li and Tang's status as co-lord of the world. The emperor acquiesced to the proposals of these courtiers in depression, so the king of Wu, the king of Yue, the king of Liang, the king of Yan, and the king of Shu appeared one after another, which actually started the "Following the Warring States Period"
strategy.
But Prime Minister Cui Yin disagreed. His biggest goal in this life was to become a powerful prime minister like Li Deyu, sit down and discuss matters with the emperor, and restore the authority of the political hall. Therefore, the policy of "imitating the Warring States" lingered in the difficulties until the emperor came to the middle.
He was held hostage by the official, and he hunted Fengxiang in the west. After that, there was no more.
Although the emperor has become a puppet, Li Tang has always been in people's hearts during the three hundred years of Tang Dynasty's rule. How many people in the world have the real intention to usurp the throne? How many people have the strength to usurp the throne?
In the name of righteousness, under the cloak of legality, he becomes the master of a country recognized by everyone. Is this the long-cherished wish of many people?
How tempting it is to become the king of a country, to be able to establish communities, guard ancestral temples, appoint officials and titles legally, collect soldiers, pay taxes, and execute special punishments! From then on, you will appoint ministers to the king, and from then on, you will succeed from generation to generation.
From now on, it will be ranked in the history books. What a wonderful thing!
For a moment, King Shu's breathing was stagnant, and his wrist holding the wine cup was trembling!
Everyone at the banquet was speechless, and there was a moment of silence. Then there was an uproar again, and many questions were asked one after another.
"Really? The King of Liang wants to follow the example of the Warring States Period?"
"How did Xichuan establish a country? The country was named Shu?"
"What did your majesty say? Is it your majesty's intention or the intention of Prince Liang?"
"What do the vassals say?"
"Will Hedong agree? Where is Lulong? Where is Pinglu? Where is Fengxiang?"
…
Li Zhen smiled, raised his chopsticks, and ate the dishes slowly.
When the noise gradually died down, Judge Feng Juan asked: "Li Zhu, this is not child's play, can it be done accurately?"
Li Zhen nodded: "It's an accurate number, if there is any falsehood. Li Moutian hates people and abandons them."
"How many families are there in this enfeoffment? How to enfeoff?"
"The capital city is for the enjoyment of the emperor and the temple is supported; the rest of the provinces are feudal and established."
"Can you explain it in detail?"
Li Zhen put down the chopsticks and pointed directly at the issue that everyone in Xichuan was most concerned about: "Jiannan Road and Shannan West Road established the Kingdom of Shu. From now on, His Highness the King of Shu will be the king of the Kingdom of Shu!"
"But Longyou and Shannan East Road..."
Li Zhen smiled and said: "Why does Mr. Feng want so much? With the wealth of the two rivers and the barrier of Shannan, can we protect the ancestral temple for eternity?"
Feng Juan laughed dryly: "Haha. I just want to ask what Prince Liang meant."
Li Zhendao: "Longyou and the Kansai states west of the Bishui River are Qi Kingdom, and the east road of Shannan is Chu..."
Feng Juan interrupted: "Brothers Zhao?"
Li Zhen nodded: "A certain prince wants to request the emperor's decree to make Zhao Kuang Ning the King of Chu."
Feng Juan raised his hand to indicate that he understood and asked Li Zhen to continue. In fact, Li Zhen had not finished speaking. King Liang meant that the Zhao brothers should withdraw from the area north of Xiangzhou on Shannan East Road. This territory was to be sealed to King Liang.
Ma Yin, a die-hard loyalist, asked him to found the country of Jing as a buffer between Shu, Chu and Xuanwu. In return, the King of Liang promised the Zhao brothers to add the six states north of Lingnan Road to the Chu Kingdom.
Of course, these are Xuanwu's own wishes, and everything depends on whether the Zhao brothers are willing or not. However, based on the judgment of Jingxiang and Li Zhen, there is no need to worry about the other party not taking the bait with such a big bait.
Li Zhen continued: "In the south of Lingnan Road and the central Guizhou Road, Liu Yin, the governor of Fengzhou, and the envoy of Zhenhai, were given the title of King Peng and allowed him to establish the country. The country's name is to be determined; the king of Jin and Fujian was informed by King Langya and Wang Shen,
In the Fu, Quan, Zhang, and Ting states on the West Jiangnan Road, the country name is yet to be determined; in the northern states of the East Jiangnan Road, Xu Yue King Qian Liu founded the country as Yue; on the Huainan Road and Jiangnan West Road, Xu Wu King Yang Xingmi founded the country as Wu...
…”
"The states of Qian, Qing, Mi, Deng, and Lai were established in Qi, and a certain prince planned to be the king's teacher and be promoted to the title of King of Qi! In this way, Qianqing will be decided without a fight..."
Everyone in Xichuan nodded secretly. The most important reason why Wang Shifan raised the army was that King Liang did not respect the emperor. If King Liang really gave up the capital to worship Li Tang, then this reason would not be valid; in addition, Wang Shifan was allowed to cross the border.
As a king, it is indeed very possible to stop fighting with Xuanwu.
"Where's Hedong? Where's Hebei?" Wang Zongji asked in the audience. These two families were the biggest variables in Liang Wang's strategy of "following the Warring States Period". If they were not handled well, the strategy would most likely fail.
Li Zhen laughed and said: "The Kingdom of Jin was established north of Jinyang, with Jin King Li Keyong as the king; the four states near Jinzhou were Zheng, and Li Sizhao was added as King Zheng; Zezhou, Qinzhou, and Yili were Han, and Li Siyuan was added as Han.
King Jia Li promised to make an appointment with the King of Wei, Zhao Ba became the King of Zhao, and Gao Xing became the King of Zhou and Hebei." Each of them was divided into Hebei Province; Li Chengzhong took Youzhou as the boundary, and based on its northern territory, he became the King of Yan."
From the King of Shu down, everyone in Xichuan couldn't help but take a breath of air. King Liang wanted to defeat them one by one. He was obviously at odds with King Jin and King Yan. However, this move was also very vicious and very likely to succeed.
"But in the land of Henan, the King of Liang wants to establish the country as Liang?" the King of Shu asked quietly.
"No, it's not just Henan. The areas controlled by Xuanwu are all Daliang territories."
The King of Shu nodded. Thinking about it, if the King of Liang did not take advantage of it, how could he take the initiative to "follow the Warring States Period"?
"When will the world be sealed?"
"The King of Liang wants to make an alliance with all the vassals in the world in the east capital, and he has decided to schedule it on the first day of April. At that time, the emperor will offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, tell the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and confer princes in the Qianyang Hall. I also hope that His Highness the King of Shu will take part in the oath of alliance to determine the order of the world!
"After Li Zhen finished speaking, he presented the letter written by the King of Liang himself, inviting the King of Shu to the Eastern Metropolis Alliance.
The King of Shu unfolded it and took a closer look, pondering without saying a word.
Li Zhen knew what the King of Shu was worried about, so he said: "Don't worry, Your Highness. In order to show respect for the emperor's wishes, the princes of a certain family will return the capital to the emperor, and the kings of each family can lead troops to Luoyang to defend it. To show sincerity,
A certain prince only led 50,000 tooth soldiers to station in Luoyang."
From now on, there is no need for Li Zhen to say anything else. Everyone in Xichuan will definitely discuss the rest in private. The next banquet was boring, everyone was not interested, and everything was done hastily.
After Li Zhen returned to Guanyi, he paid homage to Tang Daoxi and Wang Zongji. Both of them expressed that they would try their best to persuade the King of Shu. He also wanted to follow the path of Du Guangting, Feng Juan, Wei Zhuang, Zhang Ge and others.
But these people all cherished their feathers, and they just said that it was not convenient to meet each other for the time being, and we would talk about it later.
Li Zhen did not force himself. He believed that the conditions offered by him were absolutely attractive and it was impossible for the King of Shu not to agree. He also knew where the King of Shu was concerned, but he had shown enough sincerity on behalf of the King of Liang and believed that the King of Shu
There is a high possibility that we will go to Dongdu.
After all, this is a major event that has happened for thousands of years. No one wants to miss such a grand ceremony.
Li Zhenyouzai stayed in Chengdu for six or seven days, visited the market, paid homage to the palaces, admired the snow scenery, and bought Sichuan brocade. Finally, he was summoned by the King of Shu again.
This time the summons was even more solemn, dozens of civil and military personnel from Xichuan, including the King of Shu, were present. The King of Shu personally descended the stairs and welcomed Li Zhen into the governor's house. They held hands and talked with each other, laughing and talking.
Li Zhen knew it was done!
The King of Shu announced on the spot that he would set off for the Eastern Capital on the first day of March to meet the Emperor. He also asked Li Zhen to convey his greetings to King Liang and hoped to form a brotherly relationship with King Liang. At the same time, the King of Shu showed a slight apology and said to Li Zhen
: "It's not that Gu Xin can't defeat the King of Liang, but now that the war is in chaos, they don't want to worry about Gu Gu going on the road, so they have to bring some personal guards to go, and also ask Li Kuan to apologize to the emperor and the King of Liang on Gu's behalf."
Li Zhen secretly said, "It would be weird to believe you," but he kept saying "no problem." He also discussed with Tang Daoxi, Wang Zongji and others about the general northward route of the King of Shu, which was to go north from Fangzhou, pass through Junzhou and enter Luoyang.
The Xuanwu troops stationed in Fangzhou and Junzhou must move away from this road and withdraw at least thirty miles away to avoid misunderstanding between the two armies.
Li Zhen said that when the King of Shu enters the capital, General Xuanwu will provide food and fodder for five thousand people to show the sincerity of King Liang. Xuanwu cannot estimate how many troops the King of Shu will bring into Luoyang, but it is absolutely impossible.
There are only five thousand, but Xuanwu will not be taken advantage of and bear the food and grass for all the troops going north, so he proposed it first, just to tell Xichuan, we don't care how many troops you bring to Luoyang, but we will only provide food and drink for five thousand people.
, prepare the rest by yourself.
Li Zhen stayed in Xichuan until the end of the first month, and then returned to Jiangzhou in a hurry with a load of specialties from Xichuan. His trip to Xichuan as an envoy could be said to be in a hurry and to leave in a hurry. The reason why he returned in a hurry was because he had a hare in his heart.
While he was jumping up and down. When he was leaving, King Liang had just decided on the general strategy for the feudal state of all the vassal towns in the world. Maybe after he returned, he might have also come up with the general strategy for the feudal state of the various civil and military forces under Xuanwu's tent?
I don’t know why I will be granted the title. Li Zhen doesn’t think about it anymore. Even if the country is granted a title, it will not be granted as a king. It is more likely to be granted as a duke. The land granted by different titles is
Different, the difference may be ten times, Li Zhen is not greedy, he will be satisfied if he can get a county.
I hope I can get the position of Duke. Of course it would be better if I am a Duke. Even if I am a County Duke, a County Marquis or a County Uncle, it would also be good... Li Zhen looked forward to it, and his mood to return to Jiangzhou became even more urgent. (
