The message that the Duke of Xia was the king was released, and the whole world was affected by it, and the princes and grand dukes needless to say, sent a congratulatory delegation to watch the ceremony and set off early, and the specifications were extremely high.

Some of them were even escorted by the Yang God True Monarch, and the monarch and his son led the delegation with the Earl Marquis, not for anything else but to make good friends with Daxia.

And King Wu, King Yue, King Qi, King Zhao and other Qianlong who took the lead in claiming the king, did not carry a shelf, and each had an heir or a minister to send a gift to the north.

The princes and kings rushed to send people to congratulate them, not because Great Xia, who was located in the north, could threaten them, but because of the inevitability of diplomatic strategy.

Distant and close attack, the truth that has remained unchanged throughout the ages.

Just like King Wu and King Yue, the two are inseparable in Jiangnan and have been in a stalemate.

At this time, if there is one more ally of the Northern Kingdom, it may affect the views of some powerful people in the south of the Yangtze River, thus shaking the overall situation.

The central region south of the Yangtze River is extremely prosperous, and the population of a state is 20 or 30 million, which can be called lucky.

They are not kings like the north, and some states can barely claim to be kings, which is determined by the accumulation of civilization.

In the Tian Yuan Continent, the development of the Humane Dynasty was centered on the Central Domain, slowly expanding to the four directions.

After the middle domain, Jiangnan was obtained, and Jiangnan was expanded to the south, and then there were the two major domains of Xishu and Dongtai.

As for the northern border, it may be the battle of the five veins of the Heavenly Court, or it may be limited by factors such as the southward invasion of the grassland iron cavalry, the harsh environment and the bitter cold.

Except for Tongzhou, which was established and developed along the north bank of the Yangtze River, the Central Plains Dynasty did not expand too far to the north for a long time.

This is not until Daxu, there are only six states in the north.

The Daxu Dynasty opened up the territory and Dingzhou, made the Jin State bow down to the vassals, and completely blocked the path of the nomads to the south at will, which was a great achievement.

Therefore, Daxu Guozuo can exceed the general three hundred years, and even before Emperor Tongzhi was canonized as the Son of Heaven, most of the powerful gentry thought that Daxu might be prosperous for the second time, and Guozuo would be extended for more than a hundred years.

This is the benefit of expanding the territory, establishing the prestige of the imperial court, winning the hearts of the people, relocating the population to alleviate social contradictions, and so on.

But these benefits are all useful to Daxu as the central court, and the northern border, especially Dingzhou, is still the last big state, and the background is still the most shallow.

Now Zhou Bai can be the king of the two northern states, for many reasons, the population of 20 million is a disadvantage, but the average quality of the population has caught up with the top ten states.

With universal education and extensive military deployment, no matter how poor the family conditions in Dingzhou are, young people can rise to the top.

Taking the Great Yan Dynasty as an example, its population is only 30 million, and the quality of the population is not as good as that of the Fanbang vassal states of the Tianyuan Continent, but it can still create a dynasty in the lower world plane.

This is the difference between the pattern of luck and even the quality, and besides, Great Xia also has the advantage of being the king in other aspects.

The first is the general trend of conquest accumulated in a hundred battles and victories, it is difficult to find opponents in the north, and none of the northern princes oppose the promotion of the principality.

King Ling and Zhou Bai used to have some small festivals, and before the Great Xia conquered Liangzhou in the west, there was only one place in Dingzhou, but the army of the Great Ling Kingdom still attacked Tongzhou in the south.

This is the most prosperous Tongzhou in the north by default, and the overall strength is not as good as Dingzhou, the most barren in the north, and Tongzhou is easier to fight than in the north.

The second advantage is the unprecedented system of Great Xia.

This system does not mean the perfection of the six ministries and offices of the cabinet, but more of an innovation in such areas as the militia, the imperial power going to the countryside, the preaching of the armed forces, the cooperation of the divine court, and the cultivation of officials.

The birth of these new things has unified people's hearts, and a powerful vitality has erupted in the land of Great Xia, and countless luck has been produced at every moment.

The integration of domestic Taoist gates and the admission of monks for the use of the imperial court is the last piece of the puzzle of the king's heritage.

Strength is enough, luck is enough, how can Zhou Bai not be the king.

Half a moon passed in a flash, and the people of all countries had already harvested the ripe wheat in the fields before the autumn rains fell.

The bumper harvest in Liangzhou, the newly acquired land of the Xia Kingdom, also pushed the ceremony of Xia Gong's title to a climax.

This is enough to show that Dingzhou has good weather and great harvest every year, not only because of the improvement of the environment by the spiritual tide of heaven and earth.

"I'm lucky, I just started in Tianyi Dingzhou."

"Maybe there was a problem with Daxia Kanyu at the beginning, and there was a mistake in the ranking of Dingzhou Dragon Qi."

"If Zhou Bai were in other big states in the north, he would definitely not have the current achievements."

Before Zhou Bai became the ruler of Liangzhou, the outside world often had inferences such as the above, and now the achievements of Daxia in Liangzhou in one year are enough to overturn all these doubts.

On September 30, before the king ceremony, Liangzhou Ding was cast, and Zhou Bai, the Duke of Xia, carried the Ding to determine the rivers and mountains of Liangzhou, and the Liang people obeyed.

The boundless yin blessing luck feeds back to the yang world, and the aura of Xiyuan County is dense, or there is a rain sprinkled, or the earth's spiritual grass and golden flowers......

The people who gathered in the dragon head to prepare for the ceremony all benefited a lot from the fortune of the casting, washed their bodies, and improved their cultivation.

Of course, most of the famous characters will not be bought by this benefit, and they are more looking forward to whether Xia Gong's claim to be king will be smooth.

If the Principality of Great Xia is really upgraded to the Kingdom of Great Xia, the forces behind it and even the country will have to change their strategies.

Looking at the princes of the world, there are a few who are really self-made.

Under the long-term control of Heavenly Court, the dynastic change of the Tian Yuan Continent has long become a game, and the layout of many hidden dragon seeds is based on several dynasties and generations.

Even the dragon qi competition in Dingzhou, the border area, the family forces behind Lei Haomiao, Lu Ding and others, which did not start planning from the beginning of the establishment of Daxu, and the luck means such as searching for dragons and burying ancestors in the dragon's cave emerged in endlessly.

In a sense, Zhou Bai's style of reshuffling and truly carrying out "Ding Revolution" is rare in the world.

For example, there is basically no change in the county wang family within the Ling Kingdom, and there is no shortage of privileges and treatment, which is the norm for most vassal states.

In view of Zhou Bai's ruling ideas, many powerful clans and even Daomen sects will focus on the ceremony of claiming the king, especially the major forces in Qinzhou.

Once Great Xia showed any weakness, it would inevitably encounter tough resistance next, and the westward expansion strategy would be at an impasse.

……

The Great Rising Sun is thin, and the remaining land is also in danger, and it is about to be torn apart, but the Great Rise is still the only empire in the world.

Therefore, all the countries in the world, including the vassal states of Fanbang, still use the Tongzhi era name.

Regarding Zhou Bai's claim to be king, Daxu's attitude was not too bad, and he even sent an envoy to watch the ceremony.

Only by being the emperor can the two sides be in a situation where they will never die.

Just like when there are two days today, either Tian Yuan is replaced by Qingxu, or Tian Yuan writes the remaining resources of Qingxu and stands after it is broken.

On the first day of October in the eighth year of Tongzhi, it was a good time for the autumn to be crisp and cool, and the troops were mobilized, but today was exceptionally quiet, and the princes of the northern border unanimously suspended the army.

Although the eldest prince King Lu, the sixth prince Ling Wang and others are also princes, they inherit Daxu's legacy after all, relying on the support of the fortune of the country.

This kind of king has not experienced calamity, and he cannot suppress his neighbors, and many heroes and heroes are difficult to recognize in their hearts, and even Tongzhou, which is not one, is still resisting.

If Zhou Bai succeeds in ascending to the throne of King Xia, then he will be the first self-established king in the north, and he will have a great impact on the pattern of the seven states in the north.

When the king comes, the hearts of the people are satisfied.

Everyone's eyes focused on Daxia, and in the eyes of everyone, the ceremony of calling the king kicked off.

Outside the Xiyuan City, thousands of miles of Longshou Plain, all kinds of luck are staggered and gathered, and the crowd is surging like layers of trees.

And at the core of the luck convergence guarded by the guards, a magnificent and majestic altar stands majestically.

Its regulation is very special, Fang Ze is the bottom, and the mound is on top.

"This is the high platform used by the Duke of Xia to claim the king? The old man traveled all over the world and did not see such regulations. ”

"How can the Heavenly Worship Altar be so reckless, when the Heavenly Court blames, we and other people who are watching the ceremony may be implicated."

"Alas, I can't imagine that adhering to the name of the ancient Xia country, I can even make a mistake about the gift of sacrificing to the sky."

At the first glance of this heaven and earth altar, many people subconsciously questioned that Xia Guo did not know the etiquette system, because the first impression of Zhou Bai's background was too deep.

The Heavenly Court rules this realm, and the number of mortal sacrifices to the heavens is too much, and most of the rural villagers participate.

However, more knowledgeable people did not think that such a major event in the Xia Kingdom would be mistaken, and they recalled the records of ancient books and discussed where this altar came from.

Altar of the Human Emperor? Or is it the chaotic period of the Middle Ages, which dynasty is the inheritance?

This altar is majestic and moderate, and even the length, width and height are in line with the number of luck such as thirty-six and nine, and it must not be built indiscriminately.

"This is Yuanqiu Fang Ze, the altar of heaven and earth sacrificed to my Tianyuan human race in ancient times!" A great Confucian from the Middle Domain was in a trance for a moment, and then gave a categorical answer.

The high of the soil is called the mound, and the mound of nature is taken.

Round, circled, like the heavens.

In ancient times, the human race had subdued all foreign races and became the master of the Tianyuan Great World.

Cultivators and detached generations emerged one after another, and the era of civilization and prosperity such as the Human Emperor, the Dao Court, and the Heavenly Court appeared one after another, even if the heavens also had a great reputation, and countless planes and worlds bowed down to them.

But before the time immemorial, there was another era that was rarely mentioned, the primeval times.

In the primeval period, the ancestors of the human race were oppressed by all races, and many foreign races even imprisoned some ancestral tribes as slaves.

It's just a matter of starving and hard labor, and in the cold winter of poor food, it will be used as blood food, which can be said to be worse than the treatment of pigs.

When the human race was on the verge of extinction, the ancient ancestors no longer imitated the blood of the ten thousand races, but began to cultivate slash-and-burn cultivation to shape the spirit of civilization.

This practice is in line with the meaning of heaven and earth, and luck favors it, and the road to the rise of the human race has begun.

In the arduous realm, he continued to strive for self-improvement, and overcame obstacles in the Tianyuan Continent, where there were many races, and finally fought his way out of a bloody path and stood in the forest of all races.

However, the ancestors knew that their own efforts were very important, but they should also be grateful for the blessing of heaven and earth.

Therefore, the sages of the human race adhered to the heart of heaven and earth, built a mound and Fang Ze, and sacrificed to the heavens and the earth.

Since then, as long as the army of the ancestors goes out to fight, they must sacrifice to heaven and earth before the mound Fangze, on the contrary, all the races do not understand the heart of the heavens, do not know the general trend, and finally all are defeated by the human race.

The evil alien races were chased and driven to the north, and they were all wiped out, and only those who were previously neutral and friendly were allowed to retain their bloodlines and coexist on the mainland.

The auspicious time has arrived, and the officials and people of Daxia who participated in the meeting arrived, and Yin Mu, who was responsible for presiding over the process of the ceremony, also entered with a team of ceremonial officials and soldiers.

Of course, he heard the questioning, and immediately reprimanded loudly with a righteous voice: "Yuanqiu Fang Ze, the ancient ancestors used to sacrifice heaven and earth, who dares to say that my Great Xia does not respect the etiquette system?!" ”

The Ministry of Rites is still a book, a purple-robed minister, and every word and deed is reflected in the will of the Great Xia National Fortune.

At this time, he reprimanded with grandiose words, and no one dared to refute it at all.

Even if some people are curious, why Great Xia doesn't carry out regular sacrifices, they can only hold it in their hearts.

The ancient ancestors experienced countless sacrifices, and only then did they have today's Tianyuan civilization, who can say a word.
