Chapter 591: The Proposal to Be King

"His subordinate Zhao Ding (Li Daniu) visited the Lord. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 In the big tent, Zhao Ding and Li Daniu walked in together, this time the two not only brought 50,000 troops, but also Zhao Ding himself.

"Sit down!" Li Jing saw it clearly, pointed to Ma Zha on the side and said, "Lord Zhao came to Youzhou at this time, I'm afraid there are other things!" Although Zhao Ding's daughter married Li Jing, Zhao Ding still adhered to the way of the minister, and when he saw Li Jing, he called the other party the master, which was the name of Li Jing from the Han Dynasty, which was enough to show Li Jing's status in the hearts of everyone. It also shows that everyone's feelings for the Song family have become much calmer.

"Lord, now the Song family is deaf, the lord owns Hedong Road, Yunzhou, grassland and most of the territory of Youzhou, his subordinates and your colleagues think that the time has come for the lord to be king, and his subordinates are entrusted by your colleagues to ask the lord to be king." Zhao Ding couldn't help but say loudly.

"Lord, please reign." Hu Yanzhuo and the other generals glanced at each other, and they couldn't help shouting loudly at this time. The Song family was deaf, Tong Guan's 300,000 army attacked the lonely city of Youzhou, but was beaten and fled, the Jin people were strong and ambitious, and they would raise troops to the south at any time, but Li Jing's power was like the rising sun, shining brightly, and the most likely person to win the world, everyone followed Li Jing, isn't it just to seek their own wealth? Even Zhao Ding knew how to choose what was most in his interests at this time.

"King?" Li Jing's face was stunned for a moment, and finally smiled: "Is it a little early to be called king now, the world has not yet been in turmoil, and it is still a little early to be called king at this time." "Do you want to call Wang Li Jing? Naturally, I thought about it, but at this time, there was no great chaos in the world, and although the Song family was cowardly, it still had an absolute advantage in the hearts of the people in the world.

"The Lord is not the king at this time, and he will always be subordinated to the Song family in the future, how can he make the people of the world bow their hands and obey orders? How can we appease the nations? Hu Yanzhuo couldn't help but say loudly: "The Zhao family was just a commander back then, and he could also be called the emperor, why can't the lord?" Hu Yanzhuo affirmed that the Lord was king. ”

"Your subordinates respectfully ask the Lord to be king." All the generals spoke one after another, and everyone's eyes flashed with excitement, Li Jing is the king, and his subordinates will also get benefits, and it is inevitable to seal his wife and son.

Li Jing saw it clearly, everyone obviously wanted to be the king, if they refused, these people might not say anything on the surface, but they must be a little disappointed in their hearts, although some things can't be done, but some things can be done with the trend, such as the matter of being king.

He pondered for a while before he said: "Since all the generals see it this way, after I return to Taiyuan, I will do the thing of claiming the king, Lord Zhao, you can write the Qilin Pavilion, and now you can prepare." ”

"Subordinates obey." Zhao Ding breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, he raised his head and looked at Li Jing with some complexity, a young man back then, now only in his twenties, he has already become the king, it can be said that he watched Li Jing step by step to today, and now looking back, it seems like it was yesterday.

"Congratulations to Your Highness, congratulations to Your Highness." Compared with Zhao Ding, a civil servant, Hu Yanzhuo and other generals showed joy on their faces, and Li Jing's claim to be the king was also excellent news for these generals.

"Okay, the king is just a title, the enemy will not surrender to you just because you are the prince, and you still have to fight what you should fight. Therefore, one's own strength is the most important, only one's own strength is strong, even if the enemy is the emperor, it is useless. Li Jing said indifferently. If it weren't for the interests of the generals in this matter, I'm afraid Li Jing would not have agreed at this time. You must know that in the past, he did not have the slightest problem in ordering the generals, but now Li Jing is not a person, but a representative of a force, and while considering himself, he must also consider the interests of his subordinates. That's why he agreed to be king.

"What His Highness said is very true, only if the power you have is strong, that is the fundamental, and everything else is secondary." Zhao Ding couldn't help but praise. He saw that Li Jing did not feel proud and arrogant because he was king, and forgot the most important thing at the moment, and his heart was very calm, which made him appreciate it very much.

"What is in front of us is to seize Youzhou, even if Youzhou is returned to the imperial court in the future, but you can't simply return Youzhou to the other party. Without sufficient benefits, it is impossible for Youzhou to be handed over to the imperial court. "Li Jing decided to give up Youzhou, not only because of the border with the Jin army, but more importantly, his next step is to seize the world, even if he continues to attack the prestige of the Song family, the matter of Youzhou is an excellent means of attack, try to ask the Song army if it can't capture Youzhou by itself, spend money to redeem Youzhou from Li Jing's hands, how ironic it will be.

Once this matter is made public, how disappointed will those scholars who still have a trace of illusion about the Song family be, and his prestige Li Jing will definitely rise again, Li Jing thought of this, and suddenly burst into excitement.

"Duchenne, let the dark guard spread the news of the war in Youzhou to all directions." Li Jing thought for a while and said: "Let the Institute of Engineering develop printing technology, not only to print all kinds of books, but also to publish the world's major events on it, such as the affairs of Youzhou, don't write it in detail, just write a rough one, and then spread it to the world." There are also things such as corruption and embezzlement among officials within the imperial court, which are also written out and spread to all directions. Although Li Jing really wants to have such a thing as a newspaper, it is a pity that the printing technology at this time is still quite backward, and only a small amount of content can be printed on a blank piece of paper, but he can simply explain things clearly, and to a certain extent, he can also grasp a certain amount of public opinion.

"Yes." Although Zhao Ding was a little worried that the military affairs would be leaked, but after thinking about it, he still did not object, and the things that could be recorded on a piece of paper were only an approximation, and Zhao Ding did not think that this matter could play a big role. On the contrary, he was somewhat interested in Duchen's promotion of Youzhou.

Li Jing saw Zhao Ding's expression in his eyes, and did not explain anything, the transportation and technology of this era have restricted the development of information, and it also has a restraining effect on public opinion, but it cannot be otherwise, the power of public opinion, if used appropriately, is enough to turn himself from black to powder, and it is enough to wash away the adverse effects that he can cause by being the king in the future.

He saw that Zhao Ding had underestimated the role of newspapers so much, and believed that the Zhao and Song dynasties were the same, and when such a new thing developed, it would be enough to change his unfavorable situation in terms of righteousness, and it would also make those court diehards turn from pink to black. Of course, this is a long-term process, Li Jing is not in a hurry, now that his own reinforcements have arrived, the most important thing is to solve the Youzhou in front of him.
