Chapter 526: Claim to be the Emperor
Han Qi asked bluntly: "Prime Minister, what do you think about the matter of the giant dragon?" β
"The king, the dragon, can be big and small, can be visible and hidden, can be long and short, or dive in the abyss, call for wind and rain, or rise in the sky, Xingyun and thunder, ever-changing, omnipotent, it is the first divine beast between heaven and earth, now the dragon hangs in the sky above Linzi, the minister thinks that it is really a good omen, indicating that my great Qi will be prosperous in the world!" Lou Jing opened his mouth and came.
On the way here, Lou Jing had already thought of what to say, and he had vaguely guessed that this auspicious omen was likely to be related to the Xuan Yiwei of the Chu State, but he couldn't understand how the Xuan Yiwei had come up with this dragon? As soon as he thought of the mysterious and unpredictable method of Xiang Zhuang, the king of Chu, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
Han Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and his eyes lit up and said, "Prime Minister, is it really a good omen?" β
"It's a good sign." Lou Jing nodded heavily and said, "The minister thinks that the Great Qi will be prosperous!" β
"Good, good, good!" Han Lian struck the knot, and then hurriedly returned to the harem.
As soon as he entered the dormitory, Han Qi couldn't wait to remove a row of bookshelves in the corner, then opened a secret grid from the wall, solemnly took out a brocade box from inside, opened the brocade box, but inside was a thing wrapped in red silk cloth, opened the red silk cloth, but it was yellow silk cloth inside, and then opened the yellow silk cloth, only to finally reveal a thing.
This kind of thing is not another thing, but it is the jade seal of the king of Qin that Xiang Zhuang dedicated to Han Xin back then.
Qin Wang Yuying whole body white, shining in the light, straight people dare not look directly, on which the five dragons are intertwined as buttons, the carving is exquisite, beautiful, turn over the jade seal, but the front is engraved with "ordered by the sky, that is, longevity Yongchang" eight insects and birds seal words, supreme noble atmosphere. In an instant, it came to the face.

Luoyang. Imperial Palace.
Qu Bucai tiptoed into the Dongnuan Pavilion and bowed to Xiang Zhuang: "See the king." β
Xiang Zhuang bowed his head lightly and asked, "Linzi, Jibei, Jiaodong, and Langxie counties have all been arranged?" β
"Returning to the King. It's all arranged. Qu Bucai said respectfully, "All kinds of auspicious signs, as well as the rural elders, wealthy families, and civil and military ministers who were persuaded by the book. It's all arranged. β
Xiang Zhuang bowed his head again and said, "Okay, you go down." β
Qu Bucai bowed his hand again, and bowed down and withdrew from the Dongnuan Pavilion.
Bai Lixian hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "King, are you going to do this?" β
Bi Shu also said: "Arrange all kinds of auspicious rui to build momentum for Han Qi, this is a double-edged sword, once Han, Han, and Zhao would rather sit back and watch the Qi State become stronger, rather than raise troops to attack." Even when we sent out troops, they were still sneaking up from behind, so we really lifted a stone and shot ourselves in the foot. β
Xiang Zhuang was silent. Of course he does. In this era, how lethal the righteous name of the true dragon emperor is, once the atmosphere of public opinion becomes the climate. The State of Qi is likely to quickly become strong and become a major problem for the State of Chu, while the forces originally gathered under the command of Xiang Zhuang are likely to fall apart and disintegrate.
In history, why did Yuan Shu quickly attract the siege of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Ce, and LΓΌ Bu after becoming emperor? There is only one reason, that is, Yuan Shu after becoming emperor has posed a great threat to their survival, if they sit back and watch Yuan Shu become emperor and remain indifferent, Yuan Shu will sooner or later gather enough strength to exterminate them one by one.
It is precisely because of this that Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Ce, and Lu Bu, the four heroes with their own ghosts, will unite for the first time and send troops together to destroy Yuan Shu as quickly as possible.
In other words, creating all kinds of auspicious fortune to build momentum for Han He is equivalent to opening a Pandora's box, once Han He takes advantage of the situation to become emperor, it is to release the devil in the magic box, if you can't kill it immediately while it is still weak, it will inevitably backfire against Chu State, then at this time, the attitude of Han, Han, and Zhao State is very important. ..., Chu State just fought two great battles last year, suffered heavy losses in personnel and materials, the treasury was empty, and now it has just moved the capital to Luoyang, it is the time when a hundred wastes are waiting to be revived, if the Lian Heng Alliance makes a stumbling block behind the back, Chu State will definitely not be able to draw troops to cut down Qi, so the attitude of Han, Han, and Zhao will be very important.
"There is no turning back from the bow, and now it's too late to stop." Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "And the widow also believes that Liu Heng and Han Xin (once again, popularize science: there were two Han Xin at the end of Qin, with the same name and surname, one is the King of Qi, that is, everyone is well-known, and the other is the King of Han) Zhang Ao They will never be willing to be subordinate." β

The next day, there was an urgent report from Lang Evil County to Linzi, and there was suddenly purple gas on the Lang Evil Platform, which was endless for several days!
The next day, there is an urgent report from Jiaodong County, a peach tree suddenly grew in a dry well in Mi County, the year is in the cold winter, this peach tree is in full bloom, and the people nearby are not surprised.
On the second day, the eighteen scribes traveled to Mount Tai, saw that there were immortals on the South Heavenly Gate, and threatened that the true dragon Son of Heaven had been born, and the world would return to Qi in a few days, so he immediately stepped into the air.
On the 5th, more than 80 rural elders from Linzi, Jibei, Jiaodong, and Langxie counties, more than 50 heads of wealthy families, and more than 20 ministers of the central government gathered in front of the palace to kneel down and ask King Qi to ascend to the pole, and Han Qi insisted on resigning.
On the 8th, more than 300 rural elders, more than 100 wealthy family heads and more than 50 ministers of the court gathered in front of the palace gate again, kneeling to ask King Qi to ascend to the pole, and Han Yu resigned.
Han Yu refused to be the emperor twice, but the news spread far and wide.

Xianyang, Weiyang Palace.
After Chen Ping received the flying pigeon transmission from the Linzi branch of the Black Ice Terrace, he entered the palace overnight and reported what happened in Qi to Liu Heng, the king of Han. Liu Heng was shocked and urgently summoned Bai Mo into the palace to discuss matters.
"Father." Liu Heng looked at Bai Mo and said worriedly, "Will Han Qian reach the pole?" β
Liu Heng can't help but worry, if Han Que ascends to the pole, the pattern of the world will be chaotic immediately, once Han Que has the name of the emperor, he can command the world in the name of the emperor, won't the king of Chu, the king of Han, the king of Han, the king of Zhao and the king of Yan have to submit to his order? This is absolutely intolerable.
Bai Mo asked Chen Pingdao: "Taishi, are these auspicious auspicious signs arranged by Han Yu himself, or is there another insider?" β
After all, Bai Mo is Bai Mo, he thinks more deeply than others, he can't help but wonder, is this arranged by Xiang Zhuang, the king of Chu, who ordered Xuan Yiwei? Its intention is also self-evident, that is, to instigate Han Qi to become emperor, so that the Qi State can become the target of the public, and the pressure faced by the Chu State will be greatly reduced.
Chen Ping shook his head and replied: "The auspicious signs of Jiaodong, Langxie, and Jibei counties don't know, but the dragon that suddenly appeared at the head of Linzi City is absolutely real, and the people of the Linzi branch of the Black Ice Platform have also witnessed it with their own eyes, it is really a giant dragon, hanging in the sky above Linzi for about half an hour, and then disappearing into the southeast void." β
Chen Ping's meaning is very clear, the real dragon in the sky above Linzi is definitely arranged by anyone, but real.
Bai Mo's heart sank when he heard this, the ancients were ancients after all, and they had an almost instinctive fear of things beyond the limits of their imagination, even if they were wise people like Bai Mo, they were not exempt from vulgarity, and Bai Mo knew better how great the lethality of this celestial phenomenon was to the common people.
"Is there really a giant dragon in the sky above Linzi?" Liu Heng said in frustration, "Could it be that Han Qiang's family is really the true dragon son of heaven who is destined to return?" But this is very unreasonable, with the current national strength and strength of Qi State, let alone fighting with Chu State, it is competing with Han and Zhao, I'm afraid it has little chance of winning, right? β
"That's now." Chen Ping shook his head and said solemnly, "If the news of the giant dragon appearing in the sky above Linzi spreads, once Han Qi takes advantage of the situation to ascend to the extreme, the heroes of the world will flock to Qi State, and the hearts of the people everywhere will also return to Qi, and then the national strength and military strength of Qi State will grow rapidly, or it will be possible to sweep the world in less than ten years." "...,"Then that ......," Liu Heng said hurriedly, "The King of Chu shouldn't sit idly by, right?" β
"Of course Xiang Zhuang will not sit idly by, if nothing happens, he will definitely send troops to attack the Qi State." Chen Pingdao, "The key now is, what kind of attitude should our Lianheng Alliance adopt? Is it to prevent the Hezong Alliance led by the Chu State from attacking Qi, or to unite with the Hezong Alliance and send troops to attack the Qi State together? β
Liu Heng and Chen Ping's eyes focused on Bai Mo's face.
Bai Mo also fell into a violent struggle, and only after a long time did he say: "That's it, isn't Han Que still the emperor?" Let's wait and see. Bai Mo is cautious and never vain, he knows a truth, if you can't see some things, then don't rush to decide, put it aside for a while, and then make a decision when you can see it clearly.

Han Qi couldn't hold it anymore, and a long conversation with Lou Jing last night completely dispelled Han Qi's doubts.
Lou Jing spent two full hours to carefully state the pros and cons of being the emperor to Han Qi, and the final conclusion was that the advantages of being the emperor far outweighed the disadvantages, and if the Qi State wanted to go against the trend and defeat the Chu and Han dynasties to unify the world, it must take advantage of the two major alliances of Hezong and Lianheng to stalemate, and resolutely ascend the throne and claim the emperor.
Lou Jing's assertion is: If this opportunity is missed, Qi will forever lose the opportunity to win the world!
So, the next day, when the elders of the counties and villages, the heads of the wealthy families and the ministers of the court and the central government knelt down for the third time to ask for the throne, Han He half pushed and half agreed on the spot, so Lou Jing personally served as the praise officer, Han He put on the five-claw nine-dragon brocade robe of the Son of Heaven, and put on the twelve crowns of the Son of Heaven, and held a grand ceremony.
The next day, Han Qi, who had just ascended the throne, couldn't wait to lead the civil and military officials to Mount Tai and seal Zen to the sky.
Han He ordered someone to destroy the Zen stele engraved by Qin Shi Huang, and replaced it with his own Zen stele, but he was sad that Lou Jing, who was ordered to write the inscription, Qin Shi Huang swallowed the world and had great martial arts, but Han He was only a few years old, except for repelling the invasion of the Zhao army, there was no other merit that could be done, how should this inscription be written?
In the end, Lou Jing could only pile up all kinds of auspicious signs together, made an article of flowers, ordered the stonemason to carve on the smoothed boulder, and a lively enthronement ceremony came to an end, and the Huaxia clan finally had a third emperor after the first emperor of Qin and the second emperor of Qin.
