Chapter 412: Canonizing the World
It turns out that at this time, the plot has advanced to the time when Xiang Yu wants to canonize the princes and kings of the world in Xianyang City, some people may say, before this Yu, didn't all the kings of Kanto have already appeared?
What King Han, King Yan, King Zhao, and King Qi all have it, why is Xiang Yu still king?
This is because all of these kings who appeared before were self-proclaimed, or were supported by their subordinates and called kings, and they were not really canonized as kings by those in power in the legal sense.
Some people don't even have royal blood, and such a king is okay in times of chaos, but when the world is stable, it still needs a strong presence to canonize the kings.
Originally, the person who was canonized should be Zhou Tianzi, but the problem is that Zhou Tianzi has long been demoted to a mortal, and the entire Zhou royal family has even been crushed by the Qin State, and it is impossible for the people of the Zhou royal family to be qualified to come out and canonize.
So judging from the current situation, the only one who is qualified to canonize the pig king is Xiang Yu, the man who defeated the army of Qin and burned the entire Xianyang City, and made everyone tremble with fear in terms of force value, and it seems to be a matter of course for him to canonize the kings.
But even if Xiang Yu came to canonize him, there were still many people who expressed dissatisfaction.
Because in their opinion, Xiang Yu is just a descendant of a general of the Chu State, but they are genuine royal descendants with noble royal blood.
Although you Xiang Yu defeated the Qin State, although you are unparalleled in combat effectiveness, without you Xiang Yu, it would be impossible for us scum to return to the country.
But your Xiang Yu's bloodline just can't do it, that is, you are not qualified to canonize the kings.
You are a slave of ours, why do you ride on our heads to become kings?
Of course, the princes didn't dare to say this kind of thing directly, so they found a fair and honest reason, that is, they thought that King Qin Chuhuai should come to Xianyang first, and he should preside over this king ceremony, and he should decide the size of the territory of each prince and king.
This reason is flawless, after all, no matter how strong you Xiang Yu is, nominally he is also the general of King Chu Huai, how can there be a reason to cross King Chu Huai and let you, a general, be crowned king, this is against the basic rules.
This reason is really strong, but Xiang Yu didn't play cards according to common sense at all, he went directly to the barracks, limited the time, and asked all the princes to come to participate in the ceremony of sealing the king, if anyone doesn't come, who is the remnant of the Qin State, not to mention that if he can't get the king, Xiang Yu will also lead the army to exterminate these remnants of the Qin State.
Good guy, as soon as these words were spoken, on the day of canonization, all the princes obediently appeared in the barracks, no way, the situation is stronger than people, Xiang Yu's force is here, and everyone can only pinch their noses and admit it.
This is the content of the first chapter of today's update, after reading it, all readers are very excited, and they are also very nervous to look forward to the next two chapters, they are eager to know how Xiang Yu intends to become king.
According to everyone's group chat, the following points are most concerned by readers.
First of all, how Xiang Yu plans to canonize Liu Bang, first of all, according to what King Chu Huai said at the beginning, the one who entered the Guanzhong first is the king, and Xiang Yu should have named Liu Bang the king of Guanzhong, so some readers insisted that Liu Bang would eventually become the king of Guanzhong, so everyone had a little unpleasant trouble at the Hongmen banquet before, but didn't they all say it?
Didn't Xiang Yu kill Liu Bang?
Opponents believe that Xiang Yu will never hand over such an important territory as Guanzhong to Liu Bang under any circumstances, and Xiang Yu must be the king in Guanzhong himself, and at the worst he will seal several of his henchmen in Guanzhong as king.
And here is the second key point, that is, how Xiang Yu intends to canonize himself.
After all, there is one thing to say, among the princes who have done it, many of them have already called themselves kings, but Xiang Yu's own title is just a general, and in terms of title, it is lower than many princes, so Xiang Yu must also be crowned a king for himself.
If that's the case, it's very interesting where the fief is, some people think that the fief should be in Guanzhong, after all, the Qin State relied on this territory to dominate the world.
Some people also think that Xiang Yu should take the region of the Central Plains, that is, an area with Luoyang as the core of Zhou Tianzi, which is more prosperous and geographically conducive to controlling the entire world.
There are also people who think that Xiang Yu will definitely be very modest, and he will not canonize himself as king at least nominally, but will pretend to ask King Chu Huai for instructions, and King Chu Huai will canonize himself as king.
Since we are talking about King Chu Huai, we will talk about the third key point, which is how Xiang Yu should deal with King Chu Huai.
Now the position of King Chu Huai is actually very awkward, he is nominally the leader of Xiang Yu, but his henchman Song Yi is dead, and the entire army of Chu is almost all in the hands of Xiang Yu, and King Chu Huai is already a veritable puppet.
Would Xiang Yu willingly let a puppet ride on his head?
But does Xiang Yu really have the courage to abolish King Chu Huai?
So someone came to Xiuyan with three questions and asked Xiuyan, how Xiang Yu should deal with it.
Xiuyan thought for a while and said, "Liu Bang can't be sealed in Guanzhong, it's easy to get out of control. It is also impossible to seal it in a remote place, so it is easy to sit big without worries. He should be sealed in the closest position to Xiang Yu, and when Liu Bang is slightly disobedient, Xiang Yu can immediately find a reason to beat him, or even kill him directly, so as to prevent future troubles."
"For Xiang Yu himself, he definitely wants to be the king, at least he will be the king first, but he can't seal himself by himself, it's too ugly. He should send his henchmen to lead an army to find King Chu Huai, let King Chu Huai canonize him as king, and then seal him near Luoyang, that is, the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty in the future, so that he can keenly control the world in this position and not be passive. ”
"Alas, in fact, Xiang Yu should not preside over the canonization ceremony by himself, he should first ask King Chu Huai to come over and let King Chu Huai canonize all the princes, anyway, King Chu Huai didn't dare not listen to him Xiang Yu, but unfortunately Xiang Yu was too proud and had to occupy this honor himself."
"As for how to deal with King Chu Huai in the end, it must be to crown him as the Son of Heaven first, hang him high, and let him become a puppet completely!"
"In the end, as for the territory of those princes, it is actually very simple to canonize them, that is, according to the original terrain of each prince now, as well as the area they actually control."
"In this way, everyone has nothing to say, which is the most just and reasonable way to canonize." Xiuyan analyzed and gave his own answer.
In the midst of great anticipation, in the new chapter, Xiang Yu began his own performance.
The first thing Xiang Yu dealt with was the problem of King Chu Huai, Xiang Yu announced that since the tyrannical Qin had been destroyed, the whole world should naturally return to the previous Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
That is, there is a nominal Son of Heaven who rules the world, and the princes of the world respect the Son of Heaven as the co-master.
It stands to reason that this co-ruler of the world should be served by King Chu Huai, so King Chu Huai will no longer be a king from now on, but should be called the emperor, a veritable emperor and the son of heaven.
Having said that, in fact, Xiang Yu's decision is very reasonable, and all the princes are also very convinced by this, and it is also the best solution for Xiuyan.
It's just that Xiang Yu changed his words and said happily, since King Chu Huai has become the emperor and has become the co-lord of the whole world, he should no longer use the title of Chu State.
After all, you are the master of the world, then you should be the emperor of the world, not the emperor of Chu, otherwise it will give the whole world the feeling that the people of Chu are ruling us, and repeat the mistakes of the tyrannical Qin back then.
So Xiang Yu announced that King Chu Huai had been upgraded, and from today onwards, he would become the Emperor of Righteousness, the emperor of the world, and no longer the king of Chu!
This decision naturally made many princes on the scene feel outrageous, but if you think about it carefully, it seems to make some sense, after all, you don't want to let a person with the title of Chu State come to be the emperor, so it's good to remove the title of Chu State.
It's just that the righteous word of this righteous emperor is a bit subtle no matter how you look at it.
It is certainly a good thing to talk about righteousness, but is there anyone in the world who becomes an emperor by relying on righteousness?
No matter how you look at it, there is a kind of street gangsters electing the taste of double-flower red sticks, you can use the word righteousness when you are a gangster boss, but if you want to be the emperor, the emperor name of righteousness is definitely not a good word.
At the same time, this also gave birth to another question, that is, since Xiong Xin, the king of Chu Huai, is no longer the king of Chu, will there still be a king of Chu and a state of Chu in this world?
Of course there is, because then Xiang Yu announced that from today onwards, he will be the new king of Chu, and the king is also very domineering, called the Overlord of Western Chu!
Well, the Western character of the overlord of Western Chu was not added by later generations, but Xiang Yu added a Western character to himself when he announced his title.
The address was modified for various reasons
