Fan Zeng knew that Xiang Yu and King Huai of Chu were incompatible, so Xiang Yu had to deny King Huai's covenant and abandon the revival of Wang Zheng.

Inheriting the system and order of the Great Qin Empire is the best choice, but it is not the best choice. In the current situation, the emperor will only become a bird.

From beginning to end, Fan Zeng has always believed in a word. That is the choice of the hero, a limited choice in a given situation.

Even if a hero is like Xiang Yu, he has to choose to compromise under the general trend of the world.

……

As soon as he heard this, Xiang Yu's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly came over and bowed: "Father, please come up with a third strategy to teach the child!" ”

He knew that Fan Zeng had vetoed the first two, and he must have taken a fancy to the third one. Thinking that it was the thoughts of Fan Zeng, Xiang Yu's heart couldn't help but be full of anticipation.

"The third is to compromise the past and the present, and reconcile the present. Implement the feudal king under the auspices of the overlord and establish the country! Fan Zeng's eyes were deep, and he said word by word.

"The founding of the feudal king under the auspices of the overlord?" Xiang Yu frowned: "Father, the overlord presided over the founding of the king, how is this different from the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons and the Seven Heroes of the Warring States?" ”

After listening to Xiang Yu's words, Fan Zengyou sighed with emotion: "Young General, the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, dominate the Central Plains, and command the world." ”

"But they came from the same origin as the princes of the world, except for Chu, the rest were personally sealed by Zhou Tianzi. Fundamentally, all the nations under heaven are equal. ”

In this way, the hegemon of the world varies according to the situation. Once the nations rise, they can challenge the hegemony. ”

"The overlord presided over the founding of the king, east of Hangu Pass, although the young general is the overlord, he is divided into the truth of the Son of Heaven, and the young general is the natural prince."

"Good!"

After a long time, Xiang Yu finally spoke: "Just use the plan of the second father, in the name of the overlord, to divide the kings of the world!" ”

"No."

……

After a pause, Xiang Yu smiled leisurely and said, "Father, there are so many titles in the world. All of them are respected by one word, so the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period and the seven heroes of the Warring States are all single-word kingdoms, why should they be in the name of overlords? ”

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, although it was known as a bad ceremony. But in terms of the real core rituals, the rituals with inheritance significance, they are quite intact.

In this era, pay attention to the word for respect. Whether it is the name of a person or a country, this example is followed.

However, Fan Zeng asked Xiang Yu to preside over the founding of the king in the name of the overlord. Once the country is added, the name of Xiang Yu, the overlord, will inevitably not be a word.

At first glance, there is a strange feeling!

Fan Zeng sighed: "Young General, this matter is related to a mysterious proverb that has been passed down for hundreds of years!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Xiang Yu couldn't sit still. Huo Ran stood up and bowed deeply: "Please also ask Yafu to solve your doubts!" ”

……

In this day and age, it is a time when mystical proverbs are in vogue. The popularity of the Yin-Yang School and the obscurity of the mysterious stars have made this era pay more attention to Proverbs.

A proverb will inevitably unite the strength of a country.

There was a solemnity in Xiang Yu's eyes, he knew the mysterious power of proverbs, and most of them had been verified by time and fulfilled one by one.

King Wen and Weishui pulled the car and took Jiang Shang to walk eight hundred and eight steps, and the Zhou Dynasty was stable in 800 and 8 years. There are also ancestral dragons who die and divide the land, the dead Qin, and the mysterious proverbs of Hu Ye.

The majestic Great Qin was indeed carried out as expected by the proverbs. What's more, Chu Nangong left a proverb - although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu.

Many of these are experienced by Xiang Yu himself, and the word Proverbs is full of mysterious and unpredictable power. It is precisely because of this that Xiang Yu is so solemn.

Fan Zeng smiled and nodded, and said slowly: "For thousands of years, the Yingqin tribe has been circulating two mysterious proverbs, one is publicly circulated, and the other is only passed down by word of mouth among the monarchs of previous dynasties. ”

"If it weren't for the teacher's sake, it would be impossible for the old man to know."

Speaking of this, Fan Zeng was solemn and said: "The first one is: a prophecy when Emperor Shun gave the title to the Ying clan Qin - the Zier Qin clan will be great in the future!" ”

"In the ups and downs of the struggle before the founding of the Qin Dynasty, this proverb was the spiritual pillar of the Qin people and the bond of the old Qin people's sincere cohesion."

"If it weren't for this proverb, the old Qin people might not have been able to fight a bloody way in the Dijon tribe in the troubled times and establish a country in the west."

This proverb, with the old Qin people coming out of the world, is naturally well known. Although Xiang Yu is not good at reading, he also knows a thing or two.

After all, growing up in this empire established by the old Qin people, it is impossible not to understand the situation.

……

Fan Zeng drank a lamp: "Four hundred years after the founding of the Qin people, at that time, the world was inferior to Qin, and the scholars of the Central Plains did not want to be Qin. However, one day, a saint rode a bull east to Guguan. ”

"In the sky above Hangu Pass, the purple qi comes three thousand miles east. According to the records of the division, Lao Tzu, who entered the quicksand in the west, was invited by Qin Xiangong to feel the sincerity of the Qin people and calculate the national fortune of the Qin State. ”

At this moment, Fan Zeng's tone was serious, and there was a hint of piety: "This proverb is: Qin and Zhou have the same origin, and they all start from the west; Qin was a prince, and Qin and Zhou were separated. ”

"Five hundred years away, and the great merge is in Qin. Seventeen years, the overlord is out! ”

At this time, Fan Zeng smiled meaningfully: "Young General, this is the reason why the old man named the king in the name of the overlord and founded the country." ”

"According to the general trend of the world, all these signs have been fulfilled in the young general!"

"Haha......"

Xiang Yu left the case, and his heart was extremely happy. This proverb is simply tailor-made for him. is like the cold water of dog days, which makes Xiang Yu feel refreshed physically and mentally.

"If there is Lao Tzu's proverb, then in the name of the overlord, the king will build the country and dominate the Central Plains."

"No."

……

Hu Hai, who returned to Hangu Pass, did not delay at all, and immediately rushed back to Xianyang with Wei Yi.

……

The main hall of Xianyang Palace.

"Your Majesty, all parts of the Kanto region are handed over to Xiang Yu, if Xiang Yu is called emperor in the east, what should I do?" Zhang Cang hesitated for a while and asked his doubts.

"No!"

Waving his hand, Wei Yu: "The Shandong forces led by Xiang Yu did not intend to inherit the Great Qin Empire from the beginning. ”

"To inherit the Great Qin Empire, one must first inherit the territory and subjects of Great Qin. Xiang Yu's killing of 200,000 prisoner troops has already demonstrated his determination to completely destroy the empire and never let it resurge. ”

"If it weren't for Your Majesty's appearance, the anti-Qin forces in Shandong would be blocked under the Hangu Pass. Presumably, the Great Qin royal family and the imperial capital of Xianyang will suffer great damage. ”

It can be seen that Xiang Yu has no intention of being the emperor. In other words, the general trend of the world, Xiang Yu had to suppress the idea of becoming the emperor. ”

"Otherwise, the front foot is still the prince and general of the world. The next moment, everyone will rebel and leave. ”

……

I have to say that although Wei Yu is old, his vision is still as sharp as ever. Hu Hai nodded and said: "What the national captain said is not bad, the general trend of the world, Xiang Yu can't be called the emperor!" ”
