At the end of the song, the three old heroes saw that Chen Sheng already had the intention of being the king, and complimented them together: "General, the old people have heartfelt words, I don't know if they are willing to accept it?" Chen Sheng let everyone tell him bluntly. The third elder then knelt on the ground respectfully, and said word by word: "The general is stubborn and stubborn, and the crusade against the unscrupulous Qin State is to overthrow the Bao State and reinvigorate the Chu State's regime, which is really a great merit." If you talk about the first thing, you should immediately call the king, one to live up to the heart of the Chu people, and the other to respond to the silk book and the fox's song. When Chen Sheng heard this, he was like an initiation, and immediately became solemn, and said in a deep voice: "Claim the king!" At this time, Wang Zhi hurriedly came out and said, "General, don't do it!" Chen Sheng asked why not. Wang Zhi said: "If you are called king, the people of Chu will think that your righteous deeds are not out of public intentions!" When Chen Sheng heard this, his expression was cold, and he was very unhappy in his heart.

Seeing this scene, the three elders hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, you can be described as a handsome man when you recognize the situation. If General Chen does not take advantage of the early determination of his position and establishes his own honorific title, in the future, when the heroes rise together, there will be a trend of competing for hegemony in the sea. Now only General Chen is the king of Chu can determine the hegemony of Chu, and you are also the founder of the country, but why did you prevent you from becoming king? Wang Zhi smiled bitterly and said: "Old gentlemen, the uprising has just begun, the soldiers and horses of the Qin State have not yet arrived, and the people of the Chu State have not yet been completely attached. The three elders put forward a lot of big truths, and vigorously persuaded Chen Sheng to become king as soon as possible. Chen Sheng only listened very smoothly, and his heart was already fluttering.

When Chen Sheng entered the city, the two people who were hiding under the city gate to observe him turned out to be the famous men of the former Wei State: Zhang Er and Chen Yu. The two are fellow villagers, Chen Yu is young, Zhang Er is older, and Chen Yu often treats Zhang Er with the courtesy of elders. Zhang Er is also a very capable person, who once served as a guest of Wei Gongzi Wuji, and fled from the capital to Waihuang to live because he was convicted of the imperial court. There was a rich man in Waihuang, and when he heard about his name, he married his beautiful daughter to him. Zhang Er came to work from this time, made friends widely, and became more and more influential, and later the King of Wei did not remember the past suspicions, and appointed him as the county magistrate of Waihuang County. When Chen Yu was young, he traveled to many places to study, and it was also a chance to meet a wealthy man of the Gongcheng clan in the Kucheng area of Zhao State, who found that he was outstanding and married his daughter to him. After the death of Wei, Zhang Er lost his official position, and the two have maintained a close relationship. After the Qin State unified the Six Kingdoms, because of the influence of the two, Qin Shi Huang offered a reward of 1,000 gold and 500 gold to ask for their heads. Zhang Er and Chen Yu absconded to Chen Cheng and have been incognito ever since. Zhang Ercheng's government is very deep, and often warns Chen Yu: resolutely do not expose your identity, if you have the opportunity in the future, you will definitely turn over the clouds and rain and show your skills.

Because the two really love to be officials, they later became a petty official of the city gate captain. Once, Chen Yu angered his boss over a trivial matter, and the boss wanted to whip Chen Yu. Chen Yu was not convinced and was ready to resist. At this time, Zhang Er suddenly arrived, forcibly held him down, and said, "You have offended the adult, why don't you accept the punishment?" As he spoke, his boss beat Chen Yu out of anger. After the incident, Zhang Er said to Chen Yu: "'If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan', you shouldn't be competitive because of small things, so that your identity is exposed!" Chen Yu repented and respected Zhang Er even more. Later, the Qin State searched and arrested the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, and some people said that Zhang Er and Chen Yu were in the city. The county magistrate prepared to carry out a large-scale manhunt in the city. When Zhang Er learned the news, he and Chen Yu took the initiative to come to the county order and said: "If you want to commit Zhang Er and Chen Yu, once you hear that they are going to be arrested, they must go out of the city in advance, you first let the two of us bring more officials to guard the four gates, if anyone is in a hurry to get out of the city, they must be Zhang Er and Chen Yu." The county magistrate was very pleased to hear this, and immediately sent them to guard the door. As a result, no one suspected that they were about to commit the crime, so they escaped arrest.

After Chen Sheng's rebel army entered the city, discipline was strict, and more and more people joined the army. Zhang Er thought about it again and again, and said to Chen Yu: "The eldest husband should seize the opportunity and make contributions." Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were the first to betray Qin, which was a great move that would make the world's enemies of Qin applaud. The two of us hid here, hugged and fought all day long, and suffered the eyes of the world, didn't we just wait until today? Chen Yu said: "That's true. Zhang Er said: "I heard that Chen Sheng raised troops on the orders of Fusu and Xiang Yan, we should go out to meet him and see how this person is?" If he can listen to our advice, fame and wealth will be at his fingertips. Chen Yu was very happy, so he came to see Chen Sheng with Zhang Er.

On this day, Chen Sheng was thinking about the matter of becoming the king, and he was thinking about it, and he couldn't pay attention to it, when suddenly the doorman came to report that there were two city gate captains who wanted to see the general. As soon as Chen Sheng heard that it was the gatekeeper, he was very angry and said: "The gatekeeper also wants to see me, but I won't see it!" The doorman said, "They said that if the generals are gone, they will tell me their names." Chen Sheng asked them what their names were. The doorman replied: "The older one is called Zhang Er, and the younger one is Chen Yu." Chen Sheng was very surprised when he heard this, and said happily: "Could it be that Zhang Er and Chen Yu were captured by Qin Shi Huang at great expense back then?" He immediately walked out to greet him.

After Zhang Er and Chen Yu saw Chen Sheng, they saluted and congratulated. Chen Sheng asked about the situation, and it turned out that it was Zhang Er and Chen Yu, the famous men who had been arrested by Qin Shi Huang, and he was very happy in his heart, so he invited them to the mansion. Chen Sheng treated the two of them as guests and said, "The names of the two are like thunder, I don't want to meet here today, it's really a blessing, a blessing." Zhang Er told me about the past. Chen Sheng was very impressed when he heard this, so he hurriedly arranged a sumptuous banquet to entertain the two. During the banquet, Chen Sheng saw that they were indeed well-informed, so he told the three elders and the soldiers that he was persuaded to become king, and asked for advice.

Zhang Er heard that Chen Sheng wanted to be the king of Chu, so he put down his chopsticks, left the seat, and then bowed deeply, and said: "The Qin State has no way, destroying the six countries, destroying the temple, and destroying the descendants. Qin used Bao to control the people, which has made the people's grievances boiling, but the general was indignant and stepped forward, and the heroes and heroes of the Quartet gathered to respond, you are really not afraid of hardships and dangers, and you are a great hero who removes harm for the world! However, the great event has just begun, the dragon and tiger battle has not yet begun, and only one county town has been captured, and the general will set himself up as the king, which is undoubtedly a proof to the world: all this you have done is to pursue your personal fame and hegemony, and ignore the destruction and humiliation of the six countries, so the general had better not rush to become the king! Chen Sheng asked, "If I don't claim to be the king, how can I command the world?" Zhang Er replied: "First of all, we should lose no time in conquering the land of Qin, and then visit the descendants of the six countries to be kings, and then engage in independence, establish an anti-Qin alliance, one more alliance, and one more enemy will be added to Qiang Qin." In this way, there would be no need to engage in a large-scale war with the Qin State in the vast wilderness, and there would be no forcible capture of cities and barriers, and the power of the Qin State would be limited to Guanzhong. At that time, the general will give orders in the name of the commander of the allied forces and lead the armies of the princes of the world to the west into Xianyang, and the Qin state will collapse immediately. When the Qin State dies, you will be the overlord of the world. Now that you are king, you will really scatter people's hearts, please think twice! Chen Sheng listened to Zhang Er's words, but was silent, and after a long time, he said that there was something wrong, and got up and left first. Zhang Er and Chen Yu were tasteless.

The next day, Chen Sheng once again convened the assembly hall to discuss the matter of becoming king. Tian Zang took the lead and said: "If the general first launches an uprising, he should be called the king, and then call the people in the name of the king of Chu, otherwise how can he give orders only as a general?" If we are willing to ask General Chen to become king as soon as possible, and then send troops to attack Qin, we will definitely get great merit, otherwise how can we command the army? Tian Zang said, and everyone complimented together: "Please ask the general to be king immediately, we are willing to obey your orders!" Chen Sheng was overjoyed and said, "What you said is exactly what I want." Seeing this, Wang Zhi hurriedly stopped: "Everyone, now you persuade the general to say that the king is trapping the general and unjust!" Think about it, in the minds of the people of Chu State, who can compare to King Chu Huai's reputation? The people still miss him very much! Therefore, we should persuade the general to overthrow the tyrannical Qin, save the people, and revitalize the society of the Chu State, but should not persuade the general to achieve his hegemony and disappoint the people! Chen Sheng said: "What do you mean, can you still set up a King of Chu Huai now?" Wang Zhi said: "If you really want to establish a king, I implore the general to find a descendant of a king of Chu, so that it can appease the hearts of all the people!" Chen Sheng said: "Where are the descendants of the royal family?" How could there be descendants of the King of Chu? Everyone supports me as king, but you have repeatedly prevented and hindered the great cause of destroying Qin, but why? When Wang Zhi saw Chen Sheng asking such a question, he said, "I heard that Zhang Er and Chen Yu have arrived in your mansion, if the general does not listen to my advice, invite them to come and ask their opinions?" Chen Sheng became even more angry when he heard this, and said: "The two of them have just arrived in the army, and they don't know anything about me, let alone ask for advice. So he did not listen to Wang Zhi's advice, and promised to be king. When everyone saw that Chen Sheng was about to become king, they cheered together.

The three elders said: "The general's claim to be the king is a major event that conforms to the will of heaven and the will of the people, and a high altar should be built in the south of the city, and an auspicious day should be chosen, and he will be enthroned immediately after the great ceremony of sacrificing to the sky." Chen Sheng was very happy, so he asked Lu Chen's father Lu Qing to familiarize himself with the ceremonies and ceremonies of the Chu State, and asked Tian Zang and Li Gui to build an altar in the south of the city, and the rest of the generals changed the county government into a royal palace, and also made the crown, royal clothes, royal driving, Luan Gai, etc., and also formed an honor guard.

When everything was ready, Chen Sheng chose a good day and led the generals to the altar outside the city. Chen Sheng first asked Lu Qing to make a great wish, and read a confession written by the three elders, saying:

In March of the first year of Qin II, Chen Sheng, the general of Chu State, announced to the world with great righteousness: The ancestors of Chu State were first born from Emperor Gaoyang, and until the king of Chu was defeated, the country was long and the road was unfailing. Its ancestral industry can be described as a long history and prosperous for eternity. After five years of defeat, the brutal Qin State attacked and destroyed the Chu State, the country overturned, the King of Chu was humiliated, the whole country mourned, and the society no longer existed. After Ying Zheng ascended the throne, he used military force to expand his territory; He built a lot of construction and implemented brutal rule in the interior, so that he died violently on the way out of the patrol after more than ten years of reign, which is God's severe punishment for him! Then his little evil beast Hu Hai ascended the throne, and the tyranny of this kid was far greater than that of his father, and he committed countless heinous crimes in the six months of his reign. He spared no effort to build palaces, poisoned living beings, enslaved the world, made the people miserable, and the four seas were angry. General Chen's ambition to save the people, and the orders of Fusu and Xiang Yan, led to the rebellion and the rebellion against Qin, complying with the wishes of the people, with the aim of overthrowing the corrupt rule of the second emperor.

Since the news of the army has spread, many people have responded. After that, Chixian will be full of heroes and talents, and everyone should seek the rejuvenation of Chu and the peace of the world. General Chen's righteous deeds have shocked the world, and the primary merit of opposing Qin and restoring Chu should be attributed to him, so according to his merits, he should inherit the throne of Chu and be the commander of all the people forever. Moreover, Chen Cheng was the former capital of the Chen State in the past, and now it can be the capital of the Chu State. Since then, the state of Chu has been restored, and its foundation will be firmly established, and its national honor will continue forever, so a special proclamation was written to comfort heaven and earth and all people!

Chen Sheng then burned incense to worship heaven and earth, and then changed his royal clothes, was crowned, and inherited the throne. Known as the King of Chu. The country name is Zhang Chu. The capital is Chencheng. History calls him King Chen, and the royal power is called the Zhang Chu regime. King Chen also canonized his subordinates and named Wu Guang as a general. Lu Qing is Situ. Wang Zhi is Ling Yin. Ge Ying, Tian Zang, Li Gui, and Lu Chen were generals, Zhang Er was the right captain in front of the palace, and Chen Yu was the left captain in front of the palace.
