On the fourth day of the first month of the fourth year of Shengping, Li Xin had to summon officials at the level of various ministries and squires to come over to discuss matters. The theme of the discussion was naturally the matter of becoming king. "I've read everyone's books, and the matter has come to this point, and I can't avoid it anymore! Today, let's discuss this matter! My thoughts, many of you know, I personally don't have much opinion on the matter of Wang Jianyuan. Just, have you thought about the consequences of doing this? Above the lobby, Li Xin looked at the crowd and said slowly.

"Returning to the Great General, it is precisely after careful consideration that we will bring up this matter! With the current situation of our Huashan Army, it is inevitable that the general will call the king system. If not, I'm afraid it will not be conducive to our development and growth! Wang Meng stood up first and said.

"Wang Shangshu's words are reasonable! Governing state affairs in the name of a general is, after all, unjustifiable. If our territory was still small before, there would be nothing, but this time we recovered Shuofang, and the people's land was greatly increased. If you don't change it at this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to go up and down, and the government decree will not work! Xue Zan then stood up and said.

After Li Xin heard this, he was thinking about talking, but he didn't expect that the people below would not give him a chance at all, and Tian He stood up again.

He said: "The lower officials and others all know that the general cares about the people, and the purpose of conquering the Quartet and quelling the war is to let the people live a good life. But because of this, the matter of the general saying that Wang Jianyuan could not be postponed any longer! Moreover, this time the army regained Shuofang, and the leading general has not yet been rewarded for meritorious deeds. If the general does not claim to be the king, like General Li and others, how can he be considered meritorious? ”

Tian He's words can be regarded as a key point, Li Xin's current military position is only a champion general of the third grade. And Li Erhei and they are all generals from the third rank now, if they go up, won't they be at the same level as him, this is something he can't do!

"General Mingjian, the matter of Wang Jianyuan is what the people want and what everyone wants! Please plan for the overall situation, for the people of the world, choose an auspicious day to call Wang Jianyuan, in order to calm the hearts of the people! "Zhou Fang was the last person to stand up and speak.

What he said was the final word. The many officials behind him all stood up at once, knelt on the ground in unison, and said in unison: "Please call the general Wang Jianyuan, in order to calm the hearts of the people and the people!" ”

The rules of the Huashan army are relatively few, and Li Xin usually treats people leniently, and in the past, officials did not bow down as often as they did later, and they usually bowed or bowed at most. Therefore, a scene like this that directly bows and prostrates is almost never seen in ordinary times.

"Well, since you've all said this, I won't say anything more! I agreed! "If you want to argue with the people of this era, Li Xin will not try at all, because there is no chance of winning. So, he just agreed.

Hearing this, everyone below couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it seemed that this matter was going to be smoother than expected.

"Since I have promised this, then you can discuss this king's name!" After a pause, Li Xin continued.

The so-called king is actually the name of the emperor, which means look at what your name is! These things are all well-founded, and it doesn't mean that you just came up with a shot in your head.

The practice throughout the ages is either based on the title of the fief, or according to the personal character and family background. In short, a king name basically represents a certain meaning.

Everyone didn't expect Li Xin to think about this matter so quickly, and he didn't prepare for it for a while. Fortunately, many of these people present are knowledgeable people, and they are familiar with the classics by heart, so they don't need to think much about it at all.

"The Huashan Army owns the land of Qin, Longguanzhong and Heshuo, which is much larger than the Qin State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Moreover, Qin Shi Huang was based on the land of Guanlong and ruled the world! According to the opinion of the lower officials, it is better to call the King of Qin! Xue Zhan, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, should have the most right to speak, so he stood up and said.

"No, my Huashan Army is in front of the destruction of Fu Qin, so it is so strong now, if you are called the King of Qin again, won't you become a descendant of Fu Qin?" As soon as this name came out, He Feng, the left attendant of the military department, first objected!

What he said made some of the old ministers of Fu Qin present a little embarrassed. Especially people like Liang An, they originally thought that the name of King Qin was good, but they didn't dare to agree at this time.

"My Huashan Army rose in Guanzhong, which belonged to Yongzhou in ancient times. It's better to call King Yong! Fu Chuanping, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, suggested.

"Nonsense, have you forgotten the Yongwang Zhang Han at the end of Qin? Instead of calling King Yong, it is better to call King Han. Don't forget, King Yong Zhanghan was destroyed by Liu Bang, King of Han! Moreover, Han Gaozu was able to unify the world and establish the Han Dynasty by virtue of Guanzhong Hanzhong! Fu Chuanping's suggestion was directly rejected, and Liang Ping, the secretary of the Criminal Department, rebuked directly.

There are taboos in this thing, so it's better to think about it when proposing.

If you talk about it from the historical origin, the King of Qin and the King of Han are undoubtedly the two best choices, after all, these two are the unification of the world in the end. It is considered to contain ~ a good omen, and everyone's hope is in it.

"It's not appropriate to call him King Han, after all, wasn't Liu Han destroyed by Shi Zhao more than thirty years ago! The Zhou Dynasty has been established for 800 years, and I think the King of Zhou is quite suitable! ”

"How about being called King of Jin!? The territory of the Jin State back then was under our rule, and the Jin State was one of the five hegemons, a powerful country in the world! ”

"No, the Jin Kingdom was finally divided by the three families of Han, Zhao and Wei, have you forgotten? Besides, Jiang Zuo is now the Jin family, if the general is called the king of Jin, wouldn't it make people laugh? If you can be called the king of Jin, you can call it the king of Zhao! ”

"Confused, a few years ago, Shi Zhao was proclaimed emperor by King Zhao, how many years has it been destroyed, and you have forgotten?"

......

A group of ministers gradually quarreled below. Everyone is public and reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, and one by one they are blushing and thick-necked.

By the end, the lobby was as lively as the market, and everyone began to quote scriptures and find arguments for their claims.

Li Xin sat on it, listening to the noise of these people below, and only felt that his head was a little big. The knowledge of these people below is higher than their own, and the king's names they put forward are all reasonable. But in the end, it's just a matter of picking up the wisdom of the predecessors.

After listening for a while, Li Xin coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention.

"Since you can't argue, why don't you listen to me?" After everyone quieted down, Li Xin said slowly.

"What does the general think? We are all willing to obey the general! Everyone was already in a stalemate, but when they heard this, they were tantamount to unwrapping, and hurriedly said.

"Let's call Tang Wang! You also know that my word Han and Tang, this Tang character can be regarded as having a provenance! Li Xin smiled and said lightly.

The reason why he is known as the King of Tang is certainly not because of his name. is because he has special feelings for the powerful dynasty in history, which is also a faint expectation in his heart, that is, he will create a strong dynasty like the Tang Dynasty.

"Tang Wang?" Hearing this, everyone below couldn't help but groan.

Indeed, this name has never appeared before, so it saves a lot of worries. Moreover, the place where Tang Yao is located is in Pingyang County, and this place is also within the territory of the Huashan Army. So, from this point of view, it makes sense.

"What do you think?" Li Xin asked.

"There is nothing wrong with the king's name mentioned by the general, and there is no objection from the lower officials!" Everyone responded in unison.

"Okay, then from today onwards, General Ben will be the king of Tang! The whole army of Huashan Army is called the Tang Army, and the whole territory of the Huashan Army is called the Tang Dynasty! The matter of calling the king and giving gifts is presided over by the Ministry of Rites, and everything is handled simply and quickly, without disturbing the people, so as not to hinder urgent affairs! Seeing that everyone agreed, Li Xin nodded and said.

"Obey your orders!" The crowd bowed down and changed their minds.

Although it has not yet been officially announced to the world, for everyone, the name has been decided.

Immediately, everyone returned to the various ministries one after another and began to prepare for Li Xin's claim to the throne. The first thing to do is naturally to immediately issue an official document to announce the territory, so that everyone knows about this matter.

In particular, local officials and generals must immediately adapt to the change of status. Of course, as Li Xin said, there is still no peace around the Huashan Army, so everything must be simple.

Li Xin said that this was a big deal, and after the decision was made that day, the news quickly spread. This transmission spread to every place under his rule at an extraordinary speed. In less than two days, Yanguo in the east of Taihang Mountain and Jiangling in the south of the Qinling Mountains all got the news.

Although judging from the previous development trend of Huashan Army, everyone knew that it was only a matter of time before Li Xin became king, but when all this really happened, it still touched a lot of people.

In Yecheng, after Murong Jun, who had not yet recovered, heard the news, he immediately summoned Murong Ke and other ministers to discuss the matter!!

"Li Hantang is king, which is also a good thing for us! After all, in the past, they and Jiang Zuo kept a vague space, which was conducive to jointly dealing with us. This time, Li Xin made a stupid move, and the gap between him and Jiang Zuo will become bigger and bigger, which is a great good thing for us to dominate the world. Inside the palace, Murong Jun said happily.

"Your Majesty, Li Xin's claim to be king must have been a deliberate matter, and I am afraid it was not impulsive. This time, they occupied the land of the Hetao Shuofang, which meant that their strength had increased greatly. If Li Xin becomes the king again, Huashan Army will inevitably be united, and it may not be a good thing for us! On the contrary, Murong Ke was not so optimistic in his heart.
