With the gradual elimination of the internal rebellion in the Chu State, Guo Jia and other important ministers who went to all sides to quell the rebellion also returned to Xiangyang one after another, while the combined forces of Wei and Wu were still unable to attack Nanyang for a long time, and this situation made them finally retreat.

It's not that they didn't seize the opportunity, but that the civil and military forces of the Chu State handled it in a timely manner and quickly.

If the Shangshutai ministers had not decided to shrink their forces back to the hinterland, then the rebellion of the state of Chu would not have been put down so quickly, and it would not have caused so many obstacles to the instigation of the rebellion.

What's more, it was not until this moment that Wei and Wu really realized how terrible the system that Chu had operated and developed for nearly thirty years was, and what kind of iron bucket it had condensed Chu into. Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Guo Jia, Chen Deng, Xu Shu and countless other talents spent half their lives to achieve their goals and finally reaped the fruits.

Wei and Wu are both advancing in exploration, while Chu is based on this era and beyond this era, how is it the same?

Of course, Wang Xu alone is not capable of accomplishing these, he just used the knowledge and cognition across the times to identify a direction and ideas, and then with the help of the wisdom and talent of countless famous ministers and generals, combined with the current situation and situation of the world, it took nearly 30 years to improve and develop the details, until it became an unbreakable system.

The alliance between Wei and Wu this time is not wrong, and it is also very good, but what they are facing is a system that has been operated by countless talents in the Chu State for thirty years, and the power of this system makes it difficult for them to drill into the loopholes, or it is difficult to find the loopholes with their current cognitive scope, not to mention that there are so many talents gathered in the Chu State!

This is also the fundamental reason why the state of Chu really has an overwhelming advantage today. If it is replaced by the system of Wei and Wu. Facing the same situation. The system of Chu State controls the possibility of the development and growth of the rebellion from the source, and the interests of the vast majority of the people, officials, and the state are closely linked and rely on each other, so how can the rebellion have room for development? On the contrary, it has become another great opportunity for the Chu State to comprehensively clean up the interior and sweep away hidden dangers.

At the end of August, Wei and Wu withdrew their troops, and the war, which lasted for most of the year, ended in a draw, with many casualties on both sides. The cost of money, food and materials is innumerable, and it also pays a great price. The only difference was that the state of Chu succeeded in toppling the last door and establishing the prestige and dignity of the new empire, while the states of Wei and Wu gained nothing.

On the sixth day of the first month of 215 AD, after months of preparation, the enthronement ceremony was held as scheduled.

On this day, the whole country of Chu rejoiced, and in the boiling cheers of the civil and military officials and the people, Wang Xu carried the concubines and children, bathing in the petals flying in the sky. Ascend to the altar and worship the heavens!

At that moment, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Guo Jia and other old ministers who had followed him for many years. All of them burst into tears!

It's not just joy, it's not just emotion, there are so many in those tears, it's everything!

Many people are already old, they have gone from black hair to white hair, from straight to rickets, and finally ushered in a new glory on this day, no matter how much sorrow there has been, no matter how much suffering there has been, no matter how much sorrow there has been, but to this day, only wordless tears can tell all the ......

A new empire is slowly being born, full of vitality and infinite hope!

History will always remember this day!

Taizu is called the emperor, the country is called Chu, and later generations call it the Great Chu Dynasty!

The establishment of the Great Chu Dynasty was also recognized as a turning point in history by later generations, which triggered the rapid development and transformation of human society after that!

Xiangyang became the first capital of the Great Chu Dynasty! It has become the symbol of Chu Taizu!

Even after several generations, the capital has been moved, but Xiangyang has always prospered, and no matter how the history changes later, it is still respected by the world!

It wasn't until more than 1,800 years later, when it was facing its demise, that a man named Li Luo still came here, with his companions and comrades-in-arms, and fought desperately to defend the city! And Xiangyang eventually turned into ashes at that time......

On the night of his accession to the throne, the palace of Chu feasted the ministers, and everyone was excited.

Wang Xu couldn't help himself, he didn't drink much wine before he was drunk, he staggered up, waved his hand to signal the dancer and the musician to take a break for the time being, and waited for the whole hall to be quiet, then picked up the wine bottle and walked down the throne step by step.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I joined the army at the age of thirteen, and I have done my best to serve the country and the people, and it has been thirty-two years since then. In the meantime, I am fortunate to have all the loyal and righteous people to support each other, share weal and woe, and exhaust all the hard work, and finally have today's situation, and finally have the prosperity of this Chu country! You are all heroes of this world and history! Here, I would like to give you the first cup! ”

"Your Majesty!" The ministers all flushed and looked excited, and they suddenly picked up the wine bottle and got up in response.

Wang Xu held the wine bottle and looked at everyone a little heavily, and then drank it all!

Soon, he picked up the second bottle of wine, his expression became solemn, and his eyes moistened.

"This second cup, I must pay tribute to all the loyal ministers and righteous men who have not fallen halfway in this world, they have built the cornerstone of this Chu country with their flesh and blood, and behind the prosperity of Chu State, they are full of their unyielding heroic souls, whether it is me, or you, or all the people of Chu State, we should always remember that the land under our feet is their flesh and blood! In the future, we will also follow in the footsteps of the footsteps, and always be united and work! ”

"!" The ministers responded violently, many old ministers were teary-eyed, for them, Wang Xu's words evoked too many memories, and they couldn't say anything, only a dry word could vent their hearts at the moment.

"This third glass ......" Wang Xu picked up a bottle of wine again and shook it with one hand. I respect myself, I respect that I have not made a big mistake in this life, and I have not wasted my time! I want to use this glass of wine to make myself forever remember the heavy responsibility on my body, and carry the world, the people, and the princes on my shoulders forever, until I die! ”

"Ministers respect Your Majesty, may Your Majesty live a long life and be healthy for eternity!"

"Hahaha......" Wang Xu laughed and drank the wine, waved his hand and said: "There is no extravagant hope for longevity, I only want to create a prosperous world with the Lord in this life, worthy of the people of heaven and earth!" I don't seek eternal success, and let future generations judge the merits and demerits! Come, let's keep drinking and indulge in the joy of this time! ”

On this night, many people returned drunk, even Dian Wei, Yan Liang and other wine barrels were also drunk......

Since then, everything in the Chu State has returned to normal and ushered in steady and rapid development!

Wei and Wu also fell silent, devoted themselves to internal development, enriched the national strength and army, and gradually strengthened the border guards!

In the following months, Xiangyang continued to welcome envoys from the southern countries, who brought all kinds of rare and exotic objects to congratulate them, and Wang Xu personally received them, and through exchanges with these envoys, he further understood the situation of the southern countries.

The situation in the Shan country also became more and more critical, and the ministers begged Wang Xu to send troops to help.

Because of the excessive backwardness of those countries and the lack of inclusiveness of large ethnic groups such as the Han, Xiongnu or Xianbei, wars between different ethnic groups often mean the extermination of the race, the surviving people become slaves, and all civilizations will be savagely destroyed.

Originally, the Shan could also seek assistance from the Kushan Empire, but now Andura is still there, cutting off the connection between them, if the Shan State seeks help from the Kushan Empire, then Andula will definitely slaughter it in the shortest possible time, so the Shan State has no choice.

For this matter, Wang Xu convened Shangshutai's ministers several times to discuss.

However, the ministers of Shangshutai were quite divided on this, and some people thought that it was necessary to exterminate Wei and Wu wholeheartedly, and then interfere in the affairs of those small countries. Some people believe that the new establishment of the Great Chu Dynasty should be involved at the insistence of the Fanbang, which can not only increase the cohesion and sense of honor of the people of the country, but also control the foreign lands as soon as possible, obtain many rare resources, and at the same time contain the threat in the cradle.

The two attitudes can be said to have their own pros and cons, which makes Wang Xu a little annoyed.

Until July, the king of Zhuya Taishou played a concert, saying that the people of Zhuya Prefecture took the initiative to raise a large number of materials to donate in order to thank the Son of Heaven of Chu for driving out the thieves and returning him to peace. Including minerals, special fruits, grain, livestock and other large resources, and the local people of Zhuya Prefecture also vigorously support the construction of the navy, many people spontaneously participate in labor, providing a lot of their generations of experience in the exploration of the South China Sea, many young and strong still greatly admire the sergeants of the Chu State, and take the initiative to ask to join the army.

A few days later, he publicly declared that he was willing to accept the request of the Shan State and send troops to help the war, but the Shan State must fully become a subordinate state, and the Shan State set up a capital protection office, and the Chu Dynasty sent officials to protect the capital and exercise military and political management.

The Shan royal family is still the symbol of the Shan state, with certain privileges, can participate in the discussion of politics and have a small number of royal guards, but it is under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor of Chu, and it is obliged to take responsibility for the stability and development of the Shan state, and can share three-tenths of the tax revenue every year as the royal family.

This system was modeled after the measures exercised by the Han Dynasty to recover the power of the princes, and it was the best way Wang Xu could think of.

After all, Shan is a country with its own culture and beliefs, and its direct integration into the existing administrative system will inevitably cause great chaos. Therefore, in order to make it stable, it is first necessary to formulate special systems and laws according to local customs and culture, combined with the political and strategic requirements of the Chu State itself.

As for the Shan royal family, it must also be properly settled, it also needs to exist as a symbol and helper, and a rash ban will only cause chaos in the Shan state, and even in the end it would rather fight to the end and perish than accept the Chu Dynasty, which is determined by the ideology and culture inherent in that region at present.

Although Wang Xu has already thought that such a system will inevitably cause problems left over from history after countless years, it is no longer something he can solve, and it will take hundreds or even hundreds of years of cultural and ethnic integration to slowly solve, and those should be dealt with by future generations.

Such a reply made the envoys of the Shan State dare not make a decision, and soon sent people back as soon as possible to consult the Shan royal family! (To be continued......)
