Li Xinchen slowly put down the teacup in his hand, he could probably guess what Xiao Shilian wanted to say.

Now Li Xinchen is no longer the Li Xinchen when he first entered Shu, Bashu, Xiangyang, Hanzhong, Nanzhong and Northwest have all fallen into the hands of Li Xinchen, deterring Guanzhong to the northeast, looking at Jinghu Lake to the southeast, plus the Guanlong family and the southeast Shi clan who have colluded with Li Xinchen openly and secretly, although the formation of this group is still short, and there are indeed some internal problems, but no one can deny that Li Xinchen has become a climate.

Therefore, a small marquis of Hanzhong obviously can no longer meet the needs of the officials below, and then Li Xinchen in order to test the reaction of Nan Chen and Northern Zhou, further proclaimed himself the general of the expedition to the north, but after all, this is only a military rank, and Li Xinchen's title status has nothing to do with it, in the case that Nan Chen and Northern Zhou have already taken care of themselves, Li Xinchen is obviously also going further, he must give his subordinates a clear allegiance and goal.

In the past, when the group was still very weak, it was not a bad thing for Li Xinchen to keep a low profile, because this would largely avoid the hostility of the Northern Zhou and Southern Chen, and it turned out to be true.

When Li Xinchen still regarded himself as the Marquis of Hanzhong canonized by Nan Chen, Nan Chen still had a glimmer of hope for Li Xinchen, thinking that Li Xinchen could still return to Nan Chen's court, after all, it was not uncommon for contradictions and conflicts to arise between the border generals of the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the central court, and the border generals were in charge of the heavy troops of the imperial court many times, so it was inevitable that some people would suspect it, which would cause contradictions.

However, in the case that everyone has scruples, this contradiction is not irresolvable, and the rewards of the imperial court and the loyalty of the border generals, as well as the foreign enemies they face together, will generally make everyone let go of this estrangement.

Chen Ji has not made this kind of effort, but it is a pity that his suspicious personality finally made such efforts fall short, what he wants is to stop Li Xinchen and not just restrict. This naturally fundamentally harmed the interests of Li Xinchen and the entire Li Xinchen group, and no one could agree to this. Therefore, when Li Xinchen entered the Jiankang Mansion, although there were many opposing voices, most of them were from the perspective of Li Xinchen's security and the interests of the entire group.

Of course, the final result was that Li Xinchen rebelled out of Nanchen, and it was never possible to return to Nanchen's court, and Nanchen, who came back at this time, also found that Li Xinchen was no longer easy for them to deal with, and the steep Bashu Mountains and the victory over the Northern Zhou army had made Li Xinchen firmly control the "time, place and people" in his hands, so he could only let Li Xinchen go.

As for the Northern Zhou side, it goes without saying that when the Northern Zhou realized that the real threat was actually not the main force of Nanchen in Jiangling, but Li Xinchen's partial division, it was too late. Their successive defeats in the battle with Li Xinchen also completely wore out the confidence of the Northern Zhou soldiers, making the attack on Bashu seem to be an impossible task, coupled with the internal division of the Northern Zhou, now the Northern Zhou needs more to rely on Li Xinchen's support, rather than being an enemy with Li Xinchen.

In just a few years, the situation has changed so much that it is indeed beyond everyone's expectations, and in order to maintain the stability of the entire group, it is obvious that Li Xinchen must go further.

Xiao Shilian looked at Li Xinchen with a solemn expression: "A certain person is not a person, this is what our courtiers in Hanzhong have discussed, and they have also passed the anger with Shuzhong, Shuzhong Tang and Luo mean that instead of waiting until you return to Shu County to discuss this matter, it is better to reach an agreement in Hanzhong first, so that they can make arrangements in Shuzhong first." ”

After a pause, Xiao Shilian said in a deep voice: "Shizhong, the matter has come to this, you should also give us an explanation, in the army, the government and the opposition, everyone is looking forward to it, if you continue to hesitate, it will chill everyone's hearts." ”

"Let's be the king," Li Xinchen nodded slightly, "The emperor is not in a hurry, let's come step by step." ”

Xiao Shilian laughed and picked up the teacup: "There is no wine here, so I should replace wine with tea to congratulate His Royal Highness the King of Han!" ”

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the King of Han!" The guards inside and outside Li Pingmen's door had obviously been waiting for Li Xinchen's answer with bated breath, and when they heard the voices of Li Xinchen and Xiao Shilian, they knelt on one knee almost at the same time and shouted in unison.

Li Xinchen smiled slightly, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

King Han?

This is Liu Bang's title that year, Liu Bang was sealed in Hanzhong and called the King of Han. And in the end, it was the Han king who won the world and created the most glorious Han Empire in Chinese history. And then his son Liu Bei, who did not know the truth or falsehood, also claimed to be the king in Hanzhong, but the title was "King of Hanzhong", which had the meaning of giving three points to the ancestors.

The title pays attention to having origins, inheritance, and depth, Li Xinchen, as the Marquis of Hanzhong, is inevitable to call the King of Han, even if Li Xinchen has other ideas, neither civil officials nor military generals will agree.

It's just that feng shui takes turns, and he didn't expect that there was another king of Han who fell on his head, which made Li Xinchen subconsciously sigh. And perhaps history will also change, and the re-emergence of this war-battered land will be a powerful Han Dynasty!

"Mercy!" Xiao Shilian drank all the water in the teacup, as if he didn't feel that it was enough, "Wine!" Hurry up and get drunk, don't get drunk today! ”

——————————————-

Opening his eyes in a daze, Li Xinchen only felt dizzy, and it was not until he confirmed that the beam above his head was his own house that he came to his senses, and the intermittent memories gradually came flooding up, making him let out a long breath.

Xiao Shilian, this guy, is good at drinking.

"Husband is awake." Xiao Xiang sat on the edge of the bed, and when he saw that Li Xinchen was awake, he stretched out his hand to help Li Xinchen, and at the same time instructed the maid behind him to bring the prepared towels and decanting soup.

"When?"

"It's all three poles in the day." Xiao Xiang couldn't help but say angrily, "Fujun and Xiao Boqing can both get drunk, if it weren't for Li Ping and they still know a little scale, I'm afraid you would have to sleep in Xiao Boqing's place last night." ”

Li Xinchen rubbed his faintly aching temples, and did not get up in a hurry, but leaned towards Xiao Xiang, who helplessly supported him so that he could rest on his lap. And Li Xinchen smiled and said, "What, unhappy? ”

"Sister Li'er asked Xiao Boqing to kneel by the bed when she got up in the morning, and sent someone to say that you can't be cheap. You're good to enjoy here. Xiao Xiang looked at his Langjun's close looks, although he was not handsome, but the heroic spirit between his eyebrows was something that ordinary people did not have.
