Wei State Ye City, Jianzhang Palace.

At this time, the state of Zhao had already existed in name only, and the reason why Ran Min did not claim the title of emperor for a long time, did not ban the state of Zhao, and established his own Great Wei Empire, in fact, was to guard against the Hu people, so as not to fall into the truth.

Build high walls, accumulate grain, and slowly become kings.

These three steps have been completed by Ran Min, but Ran Min does not want to complete this last step immediately, because he understands that his foundation is not solid enough, once he becomes emperor, although it will not make people panic and the situation is turbulent, there are also some very unfavorable factors.

"Long live the king, long live, long live!"

At this time, Emperor Shi Jian has been placed under house arrest, except for every brocade clothes and jade food, even women have nothing to play, and they can only hang their breath all day long, and they will not live.

So on the throne at this time, the person sitting on the throne that originally belonged to the emperor was Ran Min.

"Flat!"

"King Xie!"

The ministers got up and finished saluting.

Liu Ba, who was standing on the side of the CRRC Mansion, shouted at the top of his voice: "Something to start, nothing to retreat!" ”

At this time, Xiangguo Cui Hao exhaled and was about to come out to report his work, but Ran Min waved his hand and said first: "Rank, the widow wants to introduce someone to you today." King Xuan rushed to the palace! ”

Wang Meng?

Such a person suddenly appeared, and many unwitting ministers were confused.

Wang Meng didn't care about this, and under the guidance of the inner servant, he slowly walked into the main hall, bowed three times and bowed nine times to Ran Min on the throne, shouted "Long live", and then stood up.

"You don't know Mr. Jingluo, do you?" Ran Min smiled and said, "But it doesn't matter, soon, you will all know him." If the widow wants to enrich the country and strengthen the army, the first thing is to get a right-hand man to help! In ancient times, there were virtuous people to assist the monarch, none other than Guan Zhong to Qi Huangong, Shang Ying to Qin Xiaogong, Zhang Zifang to Han Gaozu, and Zhuge Liang to Liu Xuande! ”

"And Wang Jingluo is the widow Guan Zhong and Zhuge Liang."

It seems that Ran Min has a high opinion of Wang Meng!

But Wang Meng was not humble at all and accepted it calmly.

"Let the scenery be slight, like a fish in water!" Ran Min stood up, brushed his sleeves and said loudly, "From now on, Wang Meng is the prime minister of my Great Zhao Kingdom!" Give Shang Fang a sword, have the right to cut first and then play, from the widow below, including the widow, anyone who violates the law or disobeys can be killed! Alike! The widow is Wang Meng! Wang Meng is a widow! ”

It seems that Ran Min is determined to appoint Wang Meng to change the law, and the ministers can't help but shudder.

Ran Min walked down the steps step by step, came to Wang Meng, put Shang Fang's sword in his hand with both hands, and said earnestly: "Prime Minister, the future of my Great Zhao Kingdom, the fate of the entire country is entrusted to you!" ”

Wang Meng couldn't help but burst into tears, and said in a trembling voice: "The minister must live up to his mission!" ”

Ran Min returned to the throne and sat down, and Situ Wenwen came out again: "King, the minister has something to ask the king!" ”

"Please!"

"Recently, there have been traces of the unicorn beast in Neihuang County, the hometown of the king, and the Qin Eunuch has played again, and there is a dragon qi gathered in the sky above Neihuang, pointing directly at Yecheng! This is all in the light, the king, you have the life of a true dragon! The ministers ask the king to accept his will, obey the people's wishes, and ascend to the pole to become the emperor! ”

"Please accept the king's will! Obey the people's hearts! Ascend to the pole and become the emperor! The ministers all bowed down, and a large part of the hall fell to their knees.

At this time, both those who knew and those who did not know knelt down to persuade them. There is an article to take the lead, and persuasion has become that they have the merit of following the dragon, and they can get a reward, but if they can't persuade them, they can also protect themselves, and Ran Min will not harm them because of this.

When Ran Min heard this, he glanced at the ministers kneeling under His Majesty's platform, and said in an undoubted tone: "The heart of the princes, few people know, and the inscription is five." But now is not the time to be emperor! The widow doesn't want those false names, what the widow wants is the strength of Dawei! Therefore, the persuasion of the Qing Qing can be stopped. ”

The ruling emperor gave up the position to the sage to take over, which is called Zen concession; The sage who accepts the abdication must pretend to "resign and not accept", and only after the persuasion of the minister can he ascend to the throne, which is called persuasion.

The virtue of Gu Yao Shun Xian has always been praised by the ancients, and the moral model of the holy king.

It is strange that Confucius only talked about giving to the people and cultivating himself to appease the people in the Yongye and Xianwen chapters of the Analects, and even Yao Shun was difficult to do.

Whether it is achieved by force or the peaceful transition of Chan concession, the successor to the throne needs to do everything possible to dress himself up as the legitimate successor of orthodoxy in order to win the moral trust of others, so various studies came into being.

For example, from the Han Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu Junquan's divine view of life, Zou Yan's Yin and Yang Five Elements, Xi Chisel's orthodoxy, and even racial China and barbarians, whether culture is Chinese culture, whether regional power is established in the Central Plains or the four sides, blood, qi number, and so on.

What is unbelievable is that Sun Quan's advisers during the Three Kingdoms knew that compared with Liu Bei, Sun Quan did not occupy the advantages of region, culture, and blood, and even Sun Quan "read books and pass on history, and his books were strange", which was better than Liu Bei's not reading, which was also a condition for becoming king.

In fact, this is just to build up public opinion for himself on the stage and coax the blind.

Ran Min actually didn't want to be the emperor, but he didn't dare to be the emperor, because he felt that his current foundation was not yet solid, and he did not fully meet the conditions for being the emperor!

There are four conditions for being crowned emperor.

First, he has surpassed his predecessors.

The examples are mainly the pioneers of the imperial era, such as Yingzheng, Octavian, and Charlemagne, who all established a great empire that once dominated the empire, and were no longer satisfied with the title of king, so they were called emperors when they were founded.

Second, unification.

The example is that the founder of the great unified dynasty of the Chinese dynasties, who was able to unify China when the old dynasty declined, was called the emperor, so the reason why some people in history did not call the emperor was that China had not yet been unified, and the empty emperor title would only lead to disaster, such as Zhu Yuanzhang's delay in becoming the king.

Third, there is a division of one side and there are soldiers, money and food, mainly there are more powerful forces around, once the emperor will be hit, such as Sun Quan, just settled down when the emperor is still there, Cao Pi called the emperor Liu Bei and the country to attack Jiangdong, until the three-legged momentum is completely laid before dare to call the emperor.

Fourth, the recognition of rituals and churches.

China is like martial arts, the West is like Piping, the power of public opinion is invisible, and most Western emperors are crowned by popes, so attitude is also the reason for restricting the overlord from becoming emperor.

The situation faced by Ran Min at this time is similar to Cao Cao at the end of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao held the princes hostage, and the Han Xian Emperor was held hostage, and Ran Min's situation was more complicated, although he was also "holding the prince to order the princes", holding Shi Jian to order, but Shi Jian's role was already very, but this could not stop the government and the opposition from the heart of the Jin family!

The current Sima clan of the Jin Kingdom is still the Zhengshuo of the Han family, and everyone believes that Ran Min is the savior of the Han Rao in the Central Plains, so they all come to follow him, and even those big families are sparing no effort to support him, but there is no lack of shadows of the Jin family!

And once Ran Min was proclaimed emperor, it represented the official break between Wei and Jin.

And the family that was originally loyal to Ran Min will inevitably defect......

This is not what Ran Min wants to see, he has completely offended the Hu people, if he offends the Han people again, I am afraid that there will be no place for him to stand!

Cao Mengde at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty actually did not have the conditions to ban the Han dynasty and become emperor.

Although Cao Cao had already gained absolute control of the Han royal family at that time, his power was still limited to northern China, Sun Quan and Liu Bei were still eyeing the southeast and southwest, and the country had not yet been unified, and the country was not peaceful.

If Cao Cao dares to risk the disapproval and rashly proclaim himself emperor, he will inevitably become the target of the public, let Liu Bei and Sun Quan seize the handle and lead the heroes to crusade against him, so that his political advantage of "holding his son hostage to order the princes" will no longer exist, and he will fall into political and moral passivity, and even cause a new round of warlord scuffle.

Although Cao Cao had a wide range of soldiers at this time, he was not sure of victory when he confronted Xia Haojie as a rebellious minister and thief, but he might make his good situation gain and lose, which was obviously unfavorable to Cao Cao, so he was very cautious about being the emperor.

However, many of Cao Cao's subordinates had persuaded him to become emperor, and Sun Quan had also persuaded Cao Cao to abolish the Han and build Wei, but Cao Cao's attitude was diametrically opposed.

Sun Quan once wrote to Cao Cao, expressing his willingness to bow down and respect Cao Cao as the emperor, Cao Cao immediately saw through Sun Quan's trick and smiled: "I want to make my house on fire!" ”

That is, once he is called the emperor, he is bound to fall into dire straits, Cao Cao's insight is really not ordinary, Cao Cao is clear: as long as he is close to the big tree of Emperor Han Xian, no one can help him, no one can move him, otherwise he will be self-defeating.

After Cao Cao was crowned Duke of Wei and King of Wei, the internal opposition and external hostile factions did not get a good end for those who did anything, which confirmed this.
