"Lord, now the Qi country is exhausted. His Royal Highness King Liang is majestic and should replace the State of Qi. Fan Yun said.

"Really? I have no talent and no virtue, how can I replace the Qi State? Besides, I am also a clan of the Qi Kingdom. How can you betray your own family? Xiao Yan said angrily.

"Your Highness, although you are the clan of the Qi Kingdom, you are not a descendant of Emperor Qi Wu (Xiao Daocheng), your father is the younger brother of Emperor Qi Wu." Shen Yue said with a smile.

Xiao Yan thought to himself: Actually, the widow originally hoped that Xiao Baorong would give way directly. Because the widow is Xiao Baorong's uncle after all. Even if he directly inherited the temple of Qi State, it was reasonable. However, now it seems that the widow's staff is unwilling to inherit the Qi country.

"The widow understood. You feel that the law of the widow is not right, and you need to establish a new dynasty. Xiao Yan asked.

"Yes. Your Highness. You are not a descendant of Emperor Qi Gao, so you cannot inherit the temple of Qi State. Therefore, you need to create a different country name. Shen Yue smiled.

"Okay. The widow agreed. Go ahead and do it. Xiao Yan said helplessly.

Shen Yue took out the prepared Zen edict from his sleeve.

He said to everyone, "My lord. I have already prepared the edict of Zen Rang. ”

Fan Yun brought the dragon robe from outside the house.

"Lord, this is a good dragon robe. Hope you can give it a try. Fan Yun said with a smile.

Xiao Yan took the dragon robe, put it on, and said with a smile: "It's very suitable." ”

The next day, the edict was sent to Emperor Xiao Baorong of Qi and He.

"Your Majesty, you can prepare to give Zen to His Royal Highness King Liang." Eunuch Xiao Yunzi said.

"You? Could it be that you have rebelled a long time ago? Have you long hoped that the throne of Zen would be given to King Liang? Xiao Baorong scolded.

"Your Majesty, hurry up and cover the jade seal. As long as you cover the jade seal. You can abdicate. Xiao Yan can take the throne. At that time, Xiao Yan will already make you rich and noble for a lifetime. Eunuch Xiao Yunzi said.

Xiao Baorong remembered the scene when he was persuaded by Xiao Yan to become the emperor:

Xiao Yan met Xiao Baorong, the king of Nankang, in Jingzhou.

Xiao Baorong is Xiao Baojuan's brother. He was disgusted by Xiao Luan when he was young.

He came to the Jingzhou Thorn Mansion.

He thought to himself: Why did Xiao Yan choose me to be the emperor? Is it because I'm very wasteful?

Does he think: I'm very controlling?

That's why you want to make me emperor?

"Weichen Xiao Yan see His Royal Highness King Nankang." Xiao Yan said politely.

"Xiao Shuda, why do you want to support the widow as the emperor?" Xiao Baorong, King of Nankang, asked.

"His Royal Highness is known as a virtuous person, and he does not capture two hairs. There is a spring and autumn righteousness. If he becomes the emperor of our Qi country, he must be a generation of virtuous monarchs. Xiao Yan praised.

He thought to himself: Xiao Baorong is cowardly by nature, and he is the best one to control among the vassal kings of the Qi Kingdom.

Xiao Baorong thought to himself: How do you think: Xiao Yan just wants me to be a puppet?

He couldn't have done it for Kuang Fu Sheji. His purpose is for his own hegemony. I need to find a way to get out of his grip.

Xiao Thorn Shi praised it. The widow is not so mighty. Hopefully you'll find someone else. For example, Xiao Baoyin. He is wiser than the widow. Xiao Baorong excused.

"King Nankang, why are you so unconfident? Xiao Baoyin is not as wise as you think. Although he was the best of the sons of the first emperor. However, his character is not good. Xiao Yan analyzed.

"Why?" Xiao Baorong was a little puzzled.

He thought to himself: Xiao Baoyin is very wise. The first emperor also admired him very much.

Why did Xiao Yan actually say that his character was not good?

"Your Highness. Although Xiao Baoyin seems to be virtuous. However, Xiao Baojuan is so mediocre. The whole world was against him. Xiao Baoyin has been protecting himself in Mingzhe. Even Xiao Baoxuan raised troops. Why is he the only one standing still? Such a prince, does he have a character? Xiao Yan scolded.

He thought to himself: Xiao Baoyin is too talented. If he is made emperor. Isn't our Yongzhou Group a vassal?

Only Xiao Baorong is the best monarch to control.

Xiao Baorong thought to himself: Xiao Yan is really a person who can speak well. The rebellion was so reasonable for him to say? Such a talent, the widow also admires him!

If Xiao Yan overthrew Xiao Baojuan. I'm afraid the widow's throne won't last long.

"Xiao Tingshi has a point. If so, the widow is willing to be the emperor. Xiao Baorong said with a smile.

Xiao Yan thought to himself: Xiao Baorong is just polite. How could he not want to be emperor? The emperor is such an attractive position. If people in the world want to say that they don't want to, it is absolutely nonsense.

"It's rare, His Royal Highness King Nankang understands righteousness. I, Uncle Xiao, thank you for the people of Jiangnan. Xiao Yan saluted.

"Xiao Tingshi, get up. The widow hopes that you can immediately lead the army, eliminate Xiao Baojuan, and support the Jiangshan Sheji of Daqi. Xiao Baorong, King of Nankang, shouted.

However, Xiao Baorong said to the eunuch Xiao Yunzi: "You send someone to give gifts to Xiao Yan's henchmen." Especially Chen Qingzhi, he knows all Xiao Yan's secrets. If you can rebel against him. We can get the Qi Kingdom. ”

"Your Highness. Are Xiao Yan's henchmen really so easy to rebel? For example, Wang Mao and Xiao Yan, the capital of Changyi, are the brothers of life and death. Can some gold and silver jewellery impress them? Eunuch Xiao Yunzi said worriedly.

"Not necessarily. Xiao Yan's subordinates are not monolithic. As long as there is enough money. They are also apostasy. Nor were his men so faithful. These are troubled times, and everyone can't be trusted. In order to get benefits, it is very normal to commit even the following crimes. Xiao Baorong, the king of Nankang, worried.

He thought to himself: In today's world, everyone has no concept of loyalty. They can do whatever it takes to get status, status, and wealth.

A few months later, Xiao Yan's army was victorious. Xiao Yan stepped up the pace of urging Xiao Baorong to become emperor.

"Your Highness, now that Xiao Baojuan has gone against the grain, he has already lost the hearts of the people. The people were looking forward to the new king's accession to the throne. Xiao Yan complimented.

"Really? Is it really so popular with the people? Xiao Baorong, King of Nankang, asked.

He thought to himself: Xiao Yan didn't deceive the widow, right?

"Your Highness. Now, the people are already very disappointed in Xiao Baojuan, the big faint monarch. If His Royal Highness ascends the throne and becomes the emperor now, he will definitely be able to make the people of Qi Kingdom attached. We will definitely be able to pacify the country and let the people live and work in peace and contentment. Xiao Yan said seriously.

"Really? Do widows have such prestige? Xiao Baorong, King of Nankang, asked.

Xiao Yan thought to himself: Why do you want to refuse? Is it really bad to be an emperor?

Xiao Baorong, the king of Nankang, thought to himself: Xiao Yan should not really assist me in ascending to the throne. His purpose is only: to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes. Once Xiao Baojuan is eliminated, the widow will be useless.

"Your Highness, you are indeed deeply popular with the people!" Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"Yes, but the widow hopes that Aiqing can be the left servant of Shangshu, the general, and the governor of the Chinese and foreign military." Xiao Baorong, the king of Nankang, said.

Xiao Yan thought to himself: Xiao Baorong is not confused, he knows what he should do.

Xiao Baorong climbed onto the altar in Jiangling and shouted: "Now that Xiao Baojuan is mediocre, everyone in the world has betrayed him. The widow obeyed the heavens, inherited the throne of the Qi State, and deposed Xiao Baojuan as the king of Fuling. Feng Xiaoyan is the left servant of Shangshu, a general, and a governor of Chinese and foreign military affairs. All civil and military officials are rewarded. ”

"Good ......," shouted the civil and military officials.

Xiao Baorong thought to himself: From today on, I will be the emperor of the Great Qi Empire.

When Xiao Yan calms down Xiao Baojuan, I must get rid of Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan thought: Xiao Baorong is kind, honest and trustworthy. Let him be the emperor of Qi, I am relieved.

Fan Yun thought to himself: Xiao Baorong has no ambitions, and the risk of making him emperor is the least.

Thinking of this, Xiao Baorong's eyes couldn't help but moisten.

He thought to himself: Xiao Yan has been calculating all along. He pretended to be a pleasure seeker. It is to persuade the counsellors to enter. I was deceived by him again.

I am indeed not Xiao Yan's opponent. He is an old Jianghu. I'm new.

Xiao Baorong picked up the jade seal and covered it.

He thought to himself: From today on, I will be the king of the fallen country.

Soon after, a ceremony was held in Jiankang City.

Xiao Baojuan shouted at the Shouzen platform: "The Qi country is exhausted. I decided that Zen was located in Xiao Yan, the king of Liang. I hope that King Liang can treat the people well. ”

Xiao Yan took Xiao Baojuan's edict, knelt down and said, "Weichen Xiao Yan must live up to His Majesty's trust." Be a good emperor who loves the people like a son. ”

In the second year of the Zhongxing of the Qi State, in April 502 AD, Xiao Yan, the king of Liang, accepted the Zen concession of Xiao Baorong, the emperor of Qi, became the emperor, and changed the name of the country to Liang, Yuan, and Tianjian.

However, Xiao Yan's ascension to the throne is about to cause an uproar in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
