Chapter 2201: The First Empress? Impossible (Part 1)
Chapter 2201: Descendants of the First Queen? Impossible (Part 1)
Looking at Tong Xiangyu with a serious face, Ye Qingmei sighed in her heart. She had tried her best to overestimate the people's support for Qin Hao, but now it seems that she still underestimated it.
From Youzhou to Jizhou, from Jizhou to Bingzhou, and then from Bingzhou to Sizhou, the people everywhere Ye Qingmei passed along the way were full of praise for Qin Hao.
Even in Youzhou, which had just been occupied by the Qin army, and the people had not yet completely surrendered, and had not yet emerged from the haze of war, the people mostly praised Qin Hao.
The Qin army powerfully defeated the Manchu Qing, unified Youzhou, and quelled the war in Youzhou. This was a greater kindness to the people of Youzhou than the promotion of new grain varieties.
So far, Ye Qingmei can count the number of people who have heard bad things about Qin Hao on both hands. Moreover, the objection is not that Qin Hao usurped the Han Dynasty, but that the Qin army went on military campaigns every year.
But this is a paradox. How can we unify without fighting? Without unification, the war will not stop, and peace will never come.
Ye Qingmei could feel that the people were supporting Qin Hao from the bottom of their hearts. Although she didn't know how much effort Qin Hao had made for this, but now that Qin Hao was about to ascend to the supreme position, this also made her sincerely support Qin Hao.
feel happy.
"This world is too chaotic. It needs a hero to stand up and end it all, and the person who can do this will never be a careerist like Wang Mang. Brother Qin Hao, I hope you can become this hero."
Thinking of this, Ye Qingmei's face showed a hint of longing, and then she smiled and said to Tong Xiangyu on the side: "Shopkeeper, don't worry, the strength of the great man has been exhausted. Except for the King of Qin, no one in the world is qualified to ascend the throne of God.
"
"Really? But before he was crowned king, all the officials and common people supported King Qin in calling him king. King Qin also refused three times in a row before he was willing to call himself king.
Sister Gongsun, you said that King Qin would not be so devoted to the Liu family just because of the favor from Emperor Ling, right?"
The corner of Ye Qingmei's mouth couldn't help but twitch. What had she heard? Someone actually said that Qin Hao was stupid and loyal? This is simply a big joke.
But then I thought about it, people in this era are simple-minded, and they don't know how to refuse such high-level things.
Ye Qingmei had always felt that the ancient practice of saying three words and three rejections when proclaiming kings and emperors was simply taking off their pants and farting. It was not only unnecessary but also hypocritical, but now it seems that she is too shallow.
From the perspective of future generations, she would feel that Sanrui's behavior was hypocritical. But after coming to this era and seeing the people's reactions, she realized that this trick was really useful.
Qin Hao rescued Liu Xie from King Dong Demon and devoted himself to assisting the Han Dynasty. This alone was enough to be crowned king, not to mention a long list of other dazzling achievements.
In the eyes of the people, it was not an exaggeration for Qin Hao to be crowned king. This was what he deserved, but even so, he refused three times. This was a sign of loyalty in the eyes of the people. Otherwise, why would he refuse the throne that was offered to him?
Isn't this mindless?
"The wisdom of the ancients is really powerful."
Ye Qingmei thought to herself, then looked at Tong Xiangyu and hesitated: "Well, it's really hard to say, but I think as long as everyone supports King Qin, he can't refuse even if he wants to."
"It makes sense." Tong Xiangyu nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Bai Zhantang ran over with excitement on his face and said mysteriously: "Xiangyu, I just heard a piece of top-secret information. The ancestor of King Qin was actually the First Emperor. How about it? Are you surprised or surprised?"
Tong Xiangyu's expression froze. She told Bai Zhantang not to join in the fun, but Bai Zhantang turned a deaf ear to her words.
"Bai, Zhan, Tang."
The Hedong lion's roar started again, Ye Qingmei covered her ears skillfully, and then she saw Tong Xiangyu chasing Bai Zhantang.
"Xiangyu, I was wrong. I'm wrong, so why not..."
Looking at the two people fighting and arguing, Ye Qingmei's eyes were full of envy. She also hoped that there would be such a man who would devote his whole heart to her, but she was destined to be unable to monopolize the big bad guy.
"A descendant of Qin Shihuang?"
A trace of amusement flashed across the corner of Ye Qingmei's mouth, and he chuckled and said to himself: "Brother Qin Hao worked hard to become emperor, and he did not hesitate to make up an ancestor for himself. But that's right, to become emperor, you have to work hard on blood, Li Yuan doesn't
You also consider me your ancestor."
Obviously, Ye Qingmei did not believe that Qin Hao was a descendant of Qin Shihuang. She felt that this was a method used by Qin Hao to proclaim himself emperor, but she did not know whether it was true or not. Qin Hao was not only a descendant of Qin Shihuang, but also a direct descendant.
Not only Ye Qingmei didn't believe it, Cao Cao, Wang Mang, Zhu Di, Zhao Kuangyin and other princes who received the news also didn't believe it, and they all thought it was a method used by Qin Hao to become emperor.
Cao Cao received the news in Wei State, Yingchuan County, Xu Capital, and Wei Gong Mansion, and urgently summoned counselors such as Xun You, Fan Li, Bigan, Chen Qun, Cheng Yu, and Mao Jie to discuss the major events that occurred in the Qin State.
As Zhao and Han were annexed by Qin, Wei became the country with the largest border area with Qin. The three states of Si, Ji and Qing all bordered Yanzhou, and Yingchuan County also bordered Nanyang County.
In addition, the two countries have been doing business with each other. It is precisely because of this that if there is any disturbance on the Qin side, Wei will definitely be the first country to receive it.
So much so that most people in Wei are now discussing whether Qin Hao should proclaim himself emperor.
"My lord, I quietly visited the people yesterday and discovered an incredible thing. Regarding whether King Qin should proclaim himself emperor, most of the people in Wei State actually support it." Bigan said with a serious face.
Cao Cao's face suddenly turned ugly. You must know that he is the Duke of Wei. It was he who unified Yanzhou and ended the endless wars. He even did not hesitate to name him, set up gold-touching captains, and dug up ancestral graves everywhere to obtain them from the dead.
Money is used to govern the country.
Among the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming in the Central Plains, Wei's national power has always been the weakest, but Wei has always taken the initiative to attack others. Neither Song nor Ming has ever attacked Wei.
It was because of him that Cao Cao and the people of Wei State lived a good life. But now, in the hearts of the people of Wei State, Qin Hao is more important than him, the Duke of Wei. This makes Cao Cao feel like he has been betrayed.
The feeling.
Who is Cao Cao? He is the kind of hero who would rather betray me than others. Naturally, it is difficult to accept being betrayed by his own people, so he asked with a face of unwillingness: "Why is this?"
Xun You, Fan Li and other counselors all felt the lord's unwillingness.
After looking at each other, Fan Li took the initiative to stand up and said: "My lord, the founding of Wei State was too short, the foundation is insufficient, and we are too dependent on Qin State, which has caused the fluctuation of public sentiment."
