Since Yan Keqiu followed Xu Zhihe, he put forward a lot of fruitful suggestions to Xu Zhihe politically, and Xu Zhihe praised him a lot, which made Song Qiqiu a little jealous. The current form is that in Jinling, a set of teams composed of Xu Zhihe, Zhou Zong, and Yan Keqiu commanded the Guangling team of Xu Jingtong, Song Qiqiu, and Wang Lingmou, and the Guangling team commanded Yang Pu, the court team, and now the entire Wu State is Xu Zhihe's world, he is not the emperor just like the emperor. In view of the form of the court, Yan Keqiu said to Zhou Zong: "The time has come for Lord Xu to be crowned king. At present, there are people inside and outside the court, the generals left behind in the previous dynasty are dead, the old ones, and the rest are still in office, and they have basically lost the right to speak, and it is the right time to be crowned king at this time. ”

"But how to convince the civil and military officials and the people of the world?" Zhou Zong asked.

"This is easy to do," Yan Keqiu said, "Lord Xu is the adopted son of Duke Xu, although it is not a parent but it is just like a parent, Duke Xu was posthumously named the King of Qi, and now Lord Xu governs the State of Wu, the country is peaceful and peaceful, and the internal and external submissions, it is natural for Lord Xu to inherit the title of Duke Xu!" ”

"Well, that's a good reason, I'll go tell Lord Xu."

"No," Yan Keqiu hurriedly stopped Zhou Zong and said, "If you let Lord Xu know, he will definitely not agree, we just send a letter to Lord Song and tell him, he will naturally know how to do it." ”

Song Qiqiu felt very uncomfortable after receiving the letter, since Xu Zhihe arrived in Jinling, there were fewer opportunities for them to meet, although he was appointed as the right servant to shoot Tongping Zhangshi, but he stayed away from Xu Zhihe, the core figure. Especially after Yan Keqiu joined the camp, it seemed that it was difficult for him to influence Xu Zhihe's thoughts as before, thinking about it, Song Qiqiu was a little jealous of Zhou Zong and Yan Keqiu. But jealousy is jealousy, and what should be done has to be done, he immediately found Wang Lingmou and Xu Jingtong, and discussed the merits of preparing to give Yang Pu a book to Chen Xu Zhihe, and asked Xu Zhihe to be crowned as the king of Qi. However, Song Qiqiu added another article privately, suggesting that King Wu move the capital to Jinling, on the grounds that the city of Jinling was larger and stronger, which was more suitable as the national capital than Guangling, and was more conducive to the long-term peace and stability of Wu. The reason why Song Qiqiu proposed to move the capital now is because of his own selfish motives.

When Yang Pu saw the concerto, he tried to ask the people around him what their opinions were, but there was no objection except for the unanimous voice. Yang Pu didn't want to crown Xu Zhihe as the king of Qi, but now the situation is more difficult than people! He deserves to be the emperor, but he is helpless. Yang Pu knew in his heart that he was crowned king now, and he would be ...... in the future, Yang Pu didn't dare to think about it, although he understood Xu Zhihe's ambitions, but how could there be any people in the Manchu Dynasty. Since Xu Wen, the imperial court has been controlled by their Xu father and son, and now although Xu Wen is dead, he has gone from a wolf to a tiger, and the crisis is getting bigger and bigger. Yang Pu even thought that if he had become the emperor twenty years earlier, he would never have let Xu Wen and Xu Zhihe, the father and son ministers, appear in Wu State. But if it is if, the reality has to be faced, Yang Pu agreed to the invitation of Song Qiqiu and others, and at the same time, Yang Pu also sold his personal favor to Xu Zhihe, and simply named him the king of Qi, the prince, the prime minister, the generalissimo and the father of the monk at once, and divided the ten states such as Shengzhou and Runzhou into the territory of the king of Qi.

After receiving the edict, Xu Zhihe was taken aback, only then did he know that Yan Ke begged them to play, Xu Zhihe was naturally happy in his heart, in order to show that this matter was not his own wish, he criticized Yan Keqiu and Song Qiqiu on the grounds of making unauthorized claims, and tried his best to refuse. But the resignation must be fake, under the persuasion of Yan Keqiu and others, Xu Zhihe pretended to reluctantly accept the official positions of King Qi, Generalissimo and Taishi, but in order to show that he would not monopolize the government, Xu Zhihe rejected the position of Shang's father and prime minister.

After Xu Zhihe became the queen of Qi, he gave Yang Pu a letter, which was nothing more than to thank the emperor for his grace, express the words that his subordinates had done their best and died, and at the same time, by the way, he would show his loyalty, so that the emperor could relax and live up to the trust, and try his best to repair Jinling Mansion as a palace to prepare for the emperor. At Yan Keqiu's suggestion, Xu Zhihe also sent a letter of state to the Later Tang Dynasty, Wu Yue, Han, Fujian and other countries, stating that Wu was willing to continue to make friends with other countries and create a good external public opinion environment for future actions.
