Chapter 348: The Establishment of the Tang State
This long article read by Wang Xu was like a book from heaven in the ears of Yuan Tiangang and Wuluo. As for how to write the decree issued by the Duke of Tang Guo, the civil officials of Tang Guo were directly stumped.
As the monarch of a newly established country, the identity of Tang Guogong is a little embarrassing, and if the system is used, once it spreads throughout the Central Plains, it will be condemned by other countries for exceeding the system. But if you don't need a system, you don't need edicts and orders.
In the end, it was Wang Rong who made the board and used the system, and according to the cultural knowledge in his memory, he picked up the book of Liu Bei's claim to be the king and dedicated to the emperor, and revised a few places.
When Wang Xu was reading, the soldiers outside the room were also shouting at the same time. There were civil officials who could understand, and with an excited face, Tang Guogong finally called the king established.
