"Please the king, that is, the throne, change the dynasty, and be on the throne of the Son of Heaven!"

Above the court, most of the ministers knelt down, looking flattering, and asked Qingji to come to the world.

However, old ministers such as Sun Wu, Fan Li, Wu Zixu, Tian Sui Tho, Kong Qiu and other old ministers were still a little hesitant.

It's not that they have the Zhou family in their hearts, thinking that although Zhou De is declining, Wu Guo can't steal the artifact.

Even sages like Kong Qiu, who had been advocating the restoration of Zhou rites in his early years, thought that Zhou Tianzi was an ornament at this time, and the Zhou royal family should perish.

What is their hesitation?

Qingji knows it.

"My lord, the minister thinks it's inappropriate."

Dazai Jiran stubbornly stepped out and said, "The emperor, the name of the heavens, so the name of the emperor. In the past, emperors and kings were the supreme names in the world."

"Zhou Tianzi canonized the princes, with the titles of duke, marquis, earl, and son, but now the Zhou dynasty has declined and no longer exists, so all the countries are called kings."

"If the king is called the emperor, then the countries of the world that are not subordinate will inevitably follow suit and become emperors one by one."

"If this is the case, then the title of 'Emperor' is not noble, nor is it supreme."

"Please King Mingjian!"

Ji Ran was right.

If Qingji is called emperor, all countries will follow suit.

In this way, the name of "emperor" will be rotten on the street and will be ruined in vain.

If there is no loneliness in the world, I don't know how many people will be called emperors and how many people will be kings?

After some careful consideration, Qingji temporarily dispelled the idea of becoming emperor.

"The matter of becoming the emperor will be discussed later."

Qingji waved his hand and said, "In this life, if the widow can't sweep away the nations and unify China, he won't be able to be called the "emperor"!"

"King Shengming!"

Qunchen Mountain shouted.

……

After the court meeting, Qingji returned to the Zide Hall to deal with daily government affairs.

Just like in the past, Prince Heng handed over the major national events he had dealt with to Qingji in the form of a chapter to read and see if there were any omissions.

"Father, my son-in-law heard that Zhao Wuxian has led the remnants to Daidi and restored the society of Zhao Guo."

Prince Heng frowned and said, "Taking advantage of the fact that Zhao Wuxian's power is still weak, Erchen thinks that he should immediately send troops to destroy Zhao Wuxian and put the Daidi under the rule of my Great Wu."

Regarding Zhao Wuxian's matter, Qingji has already heard about it.

Before, when the Wu army took Jinyang City bloodlessly and Zhao Ying committed suicide, Zhao Wuxian fled to Zhongshan with thousands of Zhao ministers and soldiers.

At that time, because Qingji had to deal with the powerful Five Nations Alliance, he did not destroy Zhao Wuxian at the first time, and he did not want to make enemies in Zhongshan.

Now that he was careless, he didn't expect Zhao Wuxian to escape back to Daidi, and also restored the Jiangshan Sheji of Zhao State.

Qing Ji smiled and said, "Zhao Guo? That's Daikoku. Zhao Wuxian can't pose a threat to my Great Wu, so let's go with him first."

"No."

Qingji will not admit that the representative country established by Zhao Wuxian is Zhao's.

The difference between one word and one word is worlds apart.

For example, the Shu Han established by Liu Bei during the Three Kingdoms period, he called himself the "Great Han", and the world and future generations called it the "Shu Kingdom".

This is just Zhao Wuxian putting gold on his face.

Daiguo is located in Daidi, which used to be the place where Rong Di lived, and will not be recognized by the countries of the Central Plains.

Just as the Central Plains countries rejected Zhongshan and Qin before the country, the Dai Guo established by Zhao Wuxian will also be rejected by the other countries and will not recognize the Dai Guo as a Chinese state.

The difference between Huayi is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"Ohma, Dazai is asking to see you."

"Let him in."

"No!"

Not long after, Ji Ran took a piece of music and slowly entered the Zide Hall and paid homage to the Qingji ceremony.

"Minister, see the king, the king is ten thousand years!"

"Ji Ran, don't be polite. Please get up."

"King Xie!"

Ji Ran stood up and asked Prince Heng to hand over his recital to Qingji to read.

"Ji Ran, you ......"

"My lord, the minister is very old, and his energy is limited, and he is too busy to do."

Ji Ran sighed and said, "Please also ask the king for permission to allow the ministers to resign and return to their posts."

「……」

Qingji fell into deep thought.

As Dazai, Ji Ran is the head of the ministers of the Wu State, responsible for managing the national affairs for Keiji, and has made countless contributions and outstanding political achievements.

He has assisted Qingji for many years, and has served as the Dazai of Wu for more than 20 years, and he is definitely a hard worker.

In the past, Ji Zai stepped down as Dazai, and out of consideration for the development of people's livelihood, Keiji boldly adopted Ji Ran, who advocated "rule by inaction", as Dazai, and he made the best use of his talents.

Ji Ran did not disappoint Qingji either.

Over the past 20 years, Wu's national strength has been thriving, its economy and culture have prospered, its education and medical fields have flourished, its military has been strong, and its politics has been clear.

Looking at Ji Ran, who was already over seventy years old, with gray sideburns and wrinkles on his face like ruts, Qingji really thought that Ji Ran had reached the age when he should retire.

In the state of Wu, there is no mandatory retirement age.

As long as Qingji thinks that the minister is still capable, and the minister does not have the heart to resign and return to support, he can always hold an official position.

"Dazai, why did you stay away from the temple?"

Prince Heng stepped forward quite reluctantly, took Ji Ran's hand, and said with a sigh: "Over the years, you have worked hard for my Dazai Wu, dealt with national affairs, and worked hard."

"Thy deeds are seen in the eyes of my father and remembered in my heart."

"Without you, who can do this?"

Hearing this, Ji Ran sighed and said, "Prince, my Great Wu is full of talents, and there is no shortage of talents for governing the world."

"Back then, the king was not despicable to his ministers, he was entrusted with heavy responsibilities, and the ministers were grateful, and he was the humerus of the country as Dazai, the humerus of the country."

"Now that my Great Wu has become a leader in dominating the world, the minister is also old and lacks energy, if he still occupies the high position of Dazai, he will not be raised, and the minister is really ashamed."

Ji Ran's attitude of resigning from his official position and returning to his home is very resolute.

He was originally interested in fame and fortune, had the heart of idle clouds and wild cranes, and did not pursue any fame and fortune.

It was Keiji who promoted him and made him a Dazai for so many years, and he became famous all over the world.

In Ji Ran's life, what else can't he let go?

He's been a great minister for a long time!

Ji Ran thinks that his energy is limited, and he can't keep up with the general trend, and the pace of Wu expansion, which will delay Wu and his king, why bother?

Ji Ran has achieved this achievement, and now he only thinks about returning, traveling through mountains, rivers and rivers, and living a life without quarrel with the world, like idle clouds and wild cranes.

Besides, if Ji Ran doesn't retire, how can he give others the opportunity to take the position?

At this time, seeing that Prince Heng couldn't keep Ji Then, Qingji squinted his eyes and asked, "Ji Ran, if you retire and are far away from the rivers and lakes, I don't know who can take over Dazai's position after you?"

"The minister recommended Wen Chong, Kong Qiu, and Deng Xi."

Ji Ran had already prepared, so he thought about the recommended candidates.
