"Xiahou! Xiahou! Xiahou ......"

The civil and military officials of the Xia Kingdom, the people of all the people, cheered loudly in unison, their princes have been recognized by the heavens, which means that the destiny of heaven is in the body!

From now on, they will be the glorious subjects of the Xia State and an integral part of a vassal state.

In the countless troubled times recorded in the Tian Yuan Continent, it is clearly told to later generations that a separatist force must at least become a Hou State in order to have a certain status.

This is called the princes.

In ancient times, there were two longest-lasting periods of great division, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which almost ran through the entire dynasty, and the area actually controlled by the Son of Heaven only occupied a corner of the Central Plains.

Daxu can still fully control the core states of the Central Region such as Zhong, Luo, and Bian, and the Son of Heaven during the Great Schism period can't even hold Zhongzhou when he is the weakest.

At that time, the Five Emperors Wheel Palm System of the Heavenly Court had not yet been formed, and contradictions were frequent and the struggles were severe.

The immortals and gods in the sky not only fought externally, but also showed no mercy to the internal turf competition for the thirty-three days.

Heaven can't take care of it, where can it take care of the world.

It was the Son of Heaven during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it also became the moment of the lowest authority and status after the era of the Emperor.

However, because the lessons of the end of the Heavenly Court and the era of the Emperor of Heaven are vivid, no matter how arrogant the heroes of the various places are, they will not openly provoke the Son of Heaven.

Even in order to give respect to the Son of Heaven, the heroes from all over the country will also make offerings, and all kinds of ceremonial events will also ask the Son of Heaven.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was a certain right to speak, and the Son of Heaven generally did not refute his request for a powerful country, which was called a vassal state.

The kings of the vassal states all have the title of marquis or above, called the princes, and their strong strength can influence the decision-making of the Son of Heaven, and the authority is unmatched for a while.

Later, even after the end of the Great Schism, the princes are still synonymous with the monarchs of great powers and are respected.

If Zhou Bai sends an envoy to Shenjing now, Daxu will be treated with the courtesy of the princes, and there will be no slack.

Listening to the cheers of countless subjects, Zhou Bai felt that when he raised his hand, he could trigger a majestic fortune.

Bojun to Hou Jun, Jun Shang to Jun Hou, the change of title also means a sudden rise in status.

……

Regarding the changes before and after the celestial phenomena, Zhou Bai was actually a little stunned.

The internal contradictions above seem to be not small, and it is clear that it is the Red Emperor who is more "close" to him, but he didn't expect the Green Emperor to respond first.

For the son of luck who does not inherit virtue and luck, Chimai may want to take advantage of this to make some requests, but who would have expected someone to pry the corner of the wall in front of him.

Qingmai's overture, Zhou Bai was naturally willing to accept it, at least to resolve the current embarrassing situation.

Heavenly Court is currently the undisputed ruler of the Tian Yuan World, and its recognition of the Great Xia Hou Kingdom will save Zhou Bai a lot of resources and energy that will be used to promote the orthodoxy of the Mandate of Heaven in the future.

At present, the theory of the vision of the Mandate of Heaven is still the mainstream discourse of the people on the mainland, and it will be difficult to gain the trust of ordinary people without the recognition of the Heavenly Court.

Just like the current Tongzhi Emperor, the Red Emperor did not canonize him as the Son of Heaven, so there are many countries in the world, and most of them are self-reliant countries.

And Daxu didn't dare to call it "rebellious" and denounce countries like Dingxi and Xia, just because Daxu lost the Mandate of Heaven that Heavenly Court had shaped since ancient times.

is in a hurry, everyone takes the matter of the Son of Heaven on the bright side, and it will only be the Daxu Imperial Court that will lose face.

The Mandate of Heaven is granted by the Heavenly Court, and the "Human Emperor" must be canonized by the Emperor of Heaven as the Son of Heaven, etc., this kind of thinking that is deeply rooted in the folk of the Tianyuan Continent cannot be changed by Zhou Bai for the time being.

This is the Heavenly Court's control of countless generations of dynastic reincarnation before the revival of the aura, shaped by supreme power.

But Zhou Bai is not without finding ways to deal with it, such as using victory after victory to establish his own myth, and manipulating public opinion.

The matter of manipulating public opinion and guiding the mainstream trend of thought among the people has already begun to be laid out as early as when he published a collection of poems by the year of Han.

With the big sales and dissemination of poetry collections, the Zhou family bookstore that opened in the city gradually became famous, and after Zhou Bai obtained the Dingzhou Jieyuan, the bookstore has been opened all over Dingzhou, and then began to solicit manuscripts from folk readers.

In the follow-up collections, basically only one or two poems in each issue are Zhou Bai's own poems, and the rest are masterpieces selected by the editors of the bookstore.

With the entry of Zhou Baizhong, the opening of the mansion by becoming the general of the demons, the establishment of the Anbei Governor's Mansion, and the founding of the country, the release area of the Sui Han Collection became wider and wider, and the content became richer and richer.

Now that Xia has become the overlord of Dingzhou, Sui Hanji has become a kind of folk comprehensive newspaper, which is much more popular than the official newspaper.

If the Heavenly Court does not recognize his marquis and country name this time, then his annual cold gathering will be fully publicized, and the public opinion manuscripts written by hundreds of editors have already been prepared.

Zhou Bai knew very well that no matter which vein of the Five Emperors he was, he would not really support him when he went to the back.

It's just because he doesn't want to become a "puppet" of the heavenly court, so he asks for the canonization of the son of the Emperor of Heaven who is a Raushzi.

The marquis admits it, maybe the duke won't recognize it, and the duke may not recognize it, in short, the heavenly court won't allow a virtuous lord to unify the world.

The vision of the Mandate of Heaven that represents the approval gradually disappeared, and it only stopped at the ordinary celestial phenomenon, and the purple qi came from the east to the east, and the two emperors were already fighting, and Zhou Bai could take advantage of this to obtain the highest proof of the Mandate of Heaven.

There are no legendary true dragons transiting, and there are no honors that some great princes have received.

Zhou Bai is not the first person to be promoted to the rank of knight, according to the news, in the Central Domain, Jiangnan and other places, there are counts promoted to marquis, marquis promoted to duke, the hidden dragon male lord, at the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, by the incarnation of the heavenly court immortal god under the heavenly decree recognition.

Of course, the current situation is already good, and the next period of time Daxia can develop steadily, and there is no need to distract from the Mandate of Heaven debate.

As Zhou Bai bowed to the sky in return, the vision dissipated, and the sky returned to the blue sky again.

The follow-up process is much easier, it is all step-by-step, and the process is completed quickly.

After Zhou Bai drove back to the palace, the discussion of the four parties exploded, and the envoys of various countries, the onlookers, and even the middle and lower-level officials who did not know about Xia Guo were all discussing in surprise.

"Country name Xia? It's incredible, such an ancient country name, Zhou Houjun actually has the confidence to catch it, isn't he afraid of being crushed by this burden? ”

"I remember that in history, the Later Xia only existed for a short period of ten or twenty years, and there was only one Xia country established by non-pure-blood Xia people, and there were nearly two hundred years of national ancestry."

"Risks and opportunities coexist, and this country name occupies the name of righteousness, which will arouse the hostility of all countries, but as long as it bears the impact, the foundation of its luck is also unprecedented."

"No matter what, Zhou Xia is also a dignified vassal state, the length of the country is not something we care about, now the main thing is to establish diplomatic relations, and figure out the next expansion direction of Xiahou......"

Zhou Bai watched and listened to all directions, and the discussions of the missions of various countries were not secret, and they came to his ears one after another.

In fact, some of them said that the key was that he took the country name Xia, mainly because he wanted to inherit the luck foundation of the first generation of the Xia Dynasty.

This is also what most princes value, the establishment of a country is fundamentally the foundation of luck, what country to name, what kind of luck foundation to inherit, is not a joke.

Throughout the ages, the basis for taking country names has been limited to a framework, such as: traditional tribal names and geographical names, many early countries evolved from tribes, and many country names directly followed the original tribal or regional names.

This is also what most people think, and if Anbei changes its name next, it should be called Dingguo.

However, if it is called Dingguo, it can only inherit the foundation of Dingguo in previous history, which is equivalent to nothing.

Because Dingzhou was established during the Daxu period, it was established before it could inherit the foundation of some small countries such as the former Andu State?

In addition, it can also be used as the basis for the name of the country, such as the name of the ancestor, the name of the fief, the myth and legend, and even the excerpt of a passage in some ancient books.

However, after the change of human dynasties many times, the name of the country is usually no longer created by itself, unless it is an immortal holy lord who has to create a new name after ruling the world.

Of course, this is allowed, and the future generations of hidden dragons and heroes may inherit the "new country name".

However, the mainstream method is still the generalized place name of the founding area, the title of the founder, and the inheritance of the ancient country name.

The orthodox country name is naturally one word, the name of Anbei is excluded, and Zhou Bai of Dingguo feels that the foundation of luck is not enough, so it is excluded.

The famous country in the north, Yan, Dai, Liang, Liao...... However, regardless of how old these are, it is a fact that the world has never been unified.

There is a king in the north, but there is no emperor.

So Zhou Bai simply took a big name, Xia, intending to inherit the luck foundation of Gu Xia, which was a dynasty that had produced human emperors.

If you want to say that Zhou Bai didn't think about it, it would be impossible to attract humanitarian luck in the dark.

The will of the human emperor scattered in the long river of history is one of his goals in the future.

Of course, in order to avoid this cause and effect from destroying him in the early stage, Zhou Bai did not hesitate to consume three hundred points of origin to deduce the development of the Xia Kingdom after Xiahou.

In order to deduce such a big change, the origin point could not make a splash when smashed in, and he could not see the development of the situation clearly, so he had to add many restrictions.

In the last three hundred points of origin, a line of qi luck was successfully observed, and it was only a hexagram entry in the Qi Luck Heavenly Book.

Geo-Hydrator.

[Luck Derivation: Earth Water Division] (Ups and downs, big waves, eventful and difficult autumn.) However, if you follow the right path and be brave and unstoppable, you may be able to overcome all difficulties and get unexpected joy. ）

It's very vague, but it's enough for Zhou Bai to gamble, after all, the vision in his heart has gradually become clear.

That is, after unifying the world, not to be the puppet son of a certain emperor of heaven, and to establish the earthly heavenly dynasty after the revival of aura.

If you want to realize this ambition, if you don't practice radical methods and make heavy bets, how can you twist the thighs of the sky.

As Great Xia becomes stronger and stronger, the greater the probability of attracting the will of the human emperor by gaining the blessing of humanity.

At that time, the Great Summer Dynasty will rule the people and gods of the world, or will there be a glimmer of life, and the luck of the Heavenly Empire will help it transcend?

The three hundred points of origin not only got the annotation of a geo-water master, but also allowed Zhou Bai to clarify his future path.

If there is a direction, it will be done.

……

Lei Haomiao's only palace that can be taken out has now become the middle hall of the Xia Kingdom and the place where the great dynasty deliberates.

With the improvement of status and the expansion of the system, various etiquette rules have become more and more strict.

The imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate looked at the officials who entered the hall in waves, and if there was any negligence in etiquette, he immediately reprimanded.

Soon, several eunuchs who had been screened from the Thunder Vast Palace poured out of the apse and lined up on both sides of the golden throne.

"Waiting for ......"

In the sharp voice of the eunuch singing, a group of civil and military officers quickly stopped all the small movements in their hands, stood and closed their eyes without saying a word.

They looked at Zhou Bai solemnly and excitedly, and saluted together: "The ministers see the prince!" ”

"Zhongqing is flat." Zhou Bai sat calmly and looked at the hundred officials in the hall with a little relief.

The county is full of qi, the yellow halls are all over, and the bruises are like ......

Da Yan returned from grinding, and then continued to expand the territory, and the great luck was added, at this time, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military had no people with inferior luck.

It was so difficult to change the fate in the past, but in this world of frequent changes in the sky, under Zhou Bai's hands, it is not an impossible thing to do.

Many old ministers and old faces can still be seen in this Hou Dynasty, and Zhou Bai is of course pleased.

Without the support of these subordinates, he, a crowd gatherer, would not have achieved what he is today.

One person ascended to heaven after the chicken dog, and Zhou Bai himself was promoted to marquis, and his subordinates naturally had to follow suit.

"The Great Xia is standing and the whole country is celebrating...... Inherit the wish of heaven, give to the four seas, and Jingfu forever......

Lone is on the throne, carrying the Great Xia Sheji. Xianzhi relies on Qing and others, so that our country is prosperous. It is fate, and it is to look down on the hard-working ministers...... Use Zhao to show the world, the ambition of the country.

Lonely Mo is grateful and determined to be rewarded. Set the official knighthood, support the wings and paint, and work hard with Ming Qing and others. All lords, from humble to supreme, must be judged strictly......"

The follow-up specific reward is actually the overall upgrade of the six ministries to a product, and the officials of the six ministries will naturally follow.

Previously, the six Shangshu only had four products, wearing scarlet robes, but now they have all become three products, serving purple robes.

The same is basically true in local counties, counties and townships, except for those who make mistakes and are punished, it can basically be said that everyone is promoted and everyone is happy.

In addition, Chen Zhongbang, Lou Jinpeng, Li Dingguo and others were named barons, and 37 generals at all levels were named national soldiers.

There were no people who were awarded the title of Chinese martial arts in the palace, and they looked at the "knights" one by one, and secretly vowed in their hearts that they must make meritorious service and be knighted.

The British lord is in power, the country is getting stronger and stronger, and the people's hearts are cohesive, if you don't desperately ride the east wind at this time, which generation of the family will have such an opportunity.

Soon, in a happy smile, the reward process was completed.

"If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat." The foreman and eunuch stood up again and sang like this.

At the first court meeting, there should not have been something to discuss, but Chen Zhongbang, the first assistant to the cabinet, resolutely came out.

"Back to the monarch, the minister has something to play."

"Yes."

Zhou Bai's face did not change at all, because he knew what Chen Zhongbang was going to say.

"Since ancient times, it has not been heard that there are princes and great powers without a mother of the country, and now the foundation of the monarch and marquis has been established, and it should be for the sake of the country and society, and continue the ...... of the country."

Chen Zhongbang immediately knelt down after speaking, followed by the elder of the Purple Robe Pavilion, the senior officials of the Six Ministries, Lou Jinpeng and other military generals, and finally the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty echoed this request.

Yes, how can a monarch who has created such a foundation have not yet married a wife and had children, how can his subjects be safe?

“…… Blessed by God, the ancient heroes, the heirs of the world. Like the sun and the moon, each has its own order, like the year and the wild, and each time and hour...... Worship national affairs, condense pine and cypress, as for ten thousand years. ”

"Hearing that Yueyun is virtuous and virtuous, it is advisable to bring the inner well, grow together, and shine together...... Be Mrs. Hou. ”
