On this morning, the coronation ceremony was held in the square of the main hall of Henggongtai.

In the cheers of everyone, Tian Bule officially became the monarch of Qi.

Tian Heng became the commander of the city guard, responsible for the defense and law and order of the royal city, and was a hybrid of the modern army and police, with great power. The number of city guards was between 10,000 and was divided into five armies, each with 2,000 men, all of which were selected from the elite of the Qi army. In terms of status, it is second only to the Praetorian Guards who defend the palace of Qi, but the number of city guards is far greater than that of the Praetorian Guards. Most of the Praetorian Guards came from the descendants of the courtiers of the Tian royal family, and they were well paid and silver, and their equipment was superior to that of the City Guards.

After the fall of Tian Dan, most of the generals of the Praetorian Guard were removed, and after Tian Bule's struggle, the two brothers Zhang Er, Chen Yu and Zhongsun Xuanhua were divided into cavalry, chariot troops and infantry of the Praetorian Guard, and the position of commander was divided into three, becoming a ban on cavalry generals, a ban on the guard, and a ban on the army, this position was held by non-clan personnel for the first time.

On top of the city guards and the Praetorian Guard, Tian Bule added a new organization: the military department, which was inspired by the staff military system of later generations, which was responsible for the unified management of the city guard and the Praetorian Guard, and was responsible for the training and deployment in peacetime. In peacetime, the city guards were stationed in four satellite castles outside Linzi City, which were in a dangerous situation, and were responsible for patrol and reconnaissance outside the royal city and other general defense. The affairs of the city were handed over to the Janissaries, and the powers were clearly defined.

However, if something happens, both the city guard and the janissary guard will be deployed by the military headquarters. In order to improve his combat effectiveness, Tian Bule announced that the soldiers and horses in the capital would be trained together every two months so that they could cooperate seamlessly.

And Yuanzong and Modao's man Ma Tian Yule decided not to make arrangements for the time being, and only used this force as a secret weapon, so that there was also a certain deterrent to those who did not do it.

Tian Bule believed in the power of the gun, so he firmly held most of the military power in his own hands.

In terms of government affairs, Hou Sheng became Xiangguo, although Tian Bule did not have a good impression of him, but at present, only Hou Sheng is the most satisfactory to all parties. Except for the arrangement of a Li Si, the other positions were controlled by the people of Hou Sheng and the queen.

On this day, Tian Bule suddenly received a news that shocked the world.

After the death of King Qin, Ying Zheng was established as the prince, and Lü Buwei of Qin Xiangguo was respected by Ying Zheng as his father, and he took over the power of the court.

Half a month ago, in order to establish prestige, Lü Buwei of Qin Xiangguo took advantage of the Eastern Zhou Jun and the princes to attack Qin, and sent the famous general Meng Wei with 50,000 troops to Guguan to attack the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. The Eastern Zhou Kingdom could not resist and was destroyed by Meng Tian. After the surrender of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Lü Buwei still ordered the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to be killed and annexed all the territories of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Feeling threatened, Zhao and Korea jointly sent troops to attack Qin, and as a result, the combined forces of the two countries were annihilated by the Qin army in a battle, and the 80,000-strong army lost two-thirds. Meng Fu took advantage of the situation to capture Zhao and the three counties of Sanchuan, Taiyuan and Shangdang in South Korea in one go, so that the territory of the Qin people greatly expanded to the east and established a base for eastward expansion.

This battle certainly made Lü Buwei's position more stable, and also made the previous rumors extinguished, and Yingzheng's position was also stabilized.

Although the Zhou royal family is in decline, it has always been the spiritual support of the people of the world. This atrocity of the Qin State aroused the righteous indignation of the people of the world. Xinlingjun decided to join forces again and attack Qin together.

The situation in the world is turbulent again.

The news reached Linzi, and there was a debate in the court about whether to participate in the joint vertical or the horizontal line.

Represented by the victory of the Xiangguo Hou, he believed that he should remain neutral, and even took the opportunity to occupy the territory of the five countries when the five countries were crusading against the Qin state.

At this time, Hou Sheng said eloquently: "Since the reign of Lu Xiang of the Qin State, the Qin State has suddenly increased three counties, in addition to the original Ba, Shu, Hanzhong, Shang, Beidi, Hedong, Longxi, Nan, Qianzhong, Nanyang ten counties, and Sanchuan, Taiyuan, Shangdang, a total of thirteen counties. The population of the Qin State reached 12 million, and there were more than 100,000 people with armor, 1,000 cars, and 100,000 horses. If our country rashly participates in the joint alliance, it will only bring a disaster to our country, so it is better to let the other five countries and the Qin State consume each other's strength. If the Five-Nation Alliance wins, China will immediately send troops to carve up the Qin State. If Qin wins, our country can take the opportunity to capture the territory of Yan and Chu. ”

These words are reasonable and well-founded, Tian Bule didn't expect Hou Sheng to have such an insight.

Hou Sheng, as the deputy prime minister, had been an envoy to the Qin State for several years, and his understanding of the Qin State was indeed much stronger than that of ordinary people. Today, with Qin's national strength and military strength being the strongest, the queen chooses Housheng as the prime minister, not all cronyism.

The queen nodded her head frequently.

Of course, all the ministers in the court also echoed it, and the strength of the Qin State stood alone in the world, which was indeed an unshakable fact. Even with the strength of the Six Kingdoms, it is still unknown to defeat the Qin State.

Tian Bule, who was sitting in the middle of the main hall, frowned, the mentality of the Qi people and the magnates made him in a dilemma. Of course, he was in favor of the joint attack on Qin by the six eastern powers. It's just that now everyone is against it, and if he forcibly sends troops, it will not be good for his prestige. What's more, he is now on the throne for the first time, and his power is not yet secure. More importantly, Qin and Qi did not border, and even if Qin was defeated, Qi did not do anything good. In this way, it is equivalent to cheapening the other five countries for nothing.

Li Si, who was in the court, frowned when he saw Tian Bule, and said to Tian Bule, who was living with the queen: "Although the Qin State is powerful, my Qi State is also a country of ten thousand times, so why be afraid." I wonder what the king has planned?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone frowned.

Li Si is just a squire, but he openly contradicts Hou Sheng, which is really bold.

To everyone's surprise, Tian Bule smiled slightly, and said calmly: "If you talk about the prestige, there is no one more than my Qi country's first monarch Huan Gong, and the princes of Jiuhe back then, don't dare to disobey." Those who cannot dominate the world are all because Zhou virtue has not declined, and the princes are still numerous. The Mandate of Heaven is in my Qi country, and now the seven kingdoms are competing for power, if the remaining five countries are allowed to be annexed by the Qin State, our country will also not be able to exist alone. ”

Seeing that Tian Bule looked ambitious, the ministers took the lead with Xiangguo Housheng and said, "Your Excellency, please think twice!"

Tian Bule changed his words and said in a deep voice: "Now that the Qin State is strong, it is not suitable for my country to have a hard encounter with the Qin State. But today I heard that the fishermen of Qi were bullied by a small country in the East China Sea, the Wa Kingdom, and many fishermen were killed. How can we, a big country in Qi, be bullied by such a small country? In order to reproduce the glory of Duke Huan in those years, we must send troops to seek justice for the people of Qi. ”

The queen looked at Tian Bule strangely, and wondered why he wanted to attack a small sea country. However, at this time, she couldn't help but maintain the majesty of Tian Bule, and she nodded to Hou Sheng.

Seeing that Tian Bule no longer insisted on fighting with the Qin State, not to mention that he was only going to fight an island country on the sea, which was not even as good as a third-rate country in the Central Plains, the ministers no longer objected and cheered in unison: "The king is wise." ”

In the eyes of everyone, Tian Bule did this mostly to protect his own face, and if he blindly opposed it, it would be counterproductive.

Just made a small trick to make the ministers back down and compromise, Tian Bule laughed secretly in his heart.

After the ministers agreed, Tian Bule announced that he would personally conquer the Wa Kingdom, with Peng Yue as the general of the expedition to the sea, and be responsible for the later crusade against the Wa State.

Although under pressure from his ministers, Tian Bule did not announce his participation in the army, but he still asked Li Si to send an envoy to Wei as an envoy. Li Si naturally knew that Tian Bule was cultivating him, allowing him to accumulate qualifications and be more grateful to Dade.
