Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said, "It's another matter of being the king." ”

Ning Qi Zhengse said: "The lord and don't think that the king is a trivial matter, or in the eyes of the lord, with the strength of the current county, not the king but the king, so the lord is only the king in vain, but in the eyes of the minister of the county, it is not the case, the title of the prince is still the subordinate, before we only had four counties, the land is sparsely populated, the lord is not the king, still not to seek fame and take real profits, now the lord is the lord of one side, we already have eight counties of land, the population is millions, enough to respect Qin Qichu, if the lord is not called the king, I am afraid it is difficult to unite people's hearts, And when we have diplomatic relations with other countries, it will be very inconvenient. ”

Shen Shen also said: "Lord, now the world is divided into four parts, Qin, Qi and Chu generations, and Qin, Qi and Chu are all kings, if the lord is still in the name of Wu Anjun and other monarchs, I am afraid it is inappropriate, ignorant people, will also think that the lord is the following resistance, to the minister to resist the king, the name is not good, only the lord is called the king, can be justified and the king of the three kingdoms can be compared, and the future conquest and war defense, it is also good to be famous." Therefore, the act of being called the king is really beneficial to my county, and I ask the lord to think twice. ”

In fact, the ministers have said it to Gao Yuan more than once, although at the beginning, Gao Yuan still had some resistance, after all, Gao Yuan is a person who grew up in a modern society, and he is not used to kneeling and kowtowing to others, nor is he used to others kneeling and kowtowing to himself. Now he is using the honorific title of Wu Anjun, although others still refer to themselves as the lord, but in terms of etiquette, it can be simplified as much as possible, generally not heavy dà occasions, not kneeling and kowtowing, just bow down. And once you claim to be the king, it will be completely different, you must strictly follow the etiquette of the royal system, and you can't be so casual anymore.

But Gao Yuan is also very clear that there are only four countries left in the world now, although among these four countries, the overall strength of Daijun is the weakest, but it is not weaker than the previous Zhao Wei, Han Yan and other countries. After all, in the past 20 years, the biggest defeat that made the Qin State suffer was caused by Dai Jun, so whether it was Qi or Chu, they all competed to make friends with Dai Jun, hoping to use Dai Jun's strength to compete with Qin State.

And the other three countries have already been kings, and now they only use the title of Wu Anjun, which does seem a bit nondescript, because it is in diplomacy, it is indeed embarrassing, because diplomacy pays attention to the principle of reciprocity, and the current honorific title of the plateau can only be regarded as a subordinate in other countries, so how should this etiquette be calculated, it is really a troublesome matter. Moreover, in Qi and Chu, there are still some ministers who are hostile to Dai Jun, and they often take the opportunity to make a big fuss, although it does not cause a big obstacle to the relationship between Dai Jun and Qi and Chu, but it is indeed a big trouble.

Now it can also be said that the conditions for Gao Yuan to be the king have basically matured, after all, Gao Yuan's strength has already reached that point, if he does not become king again, not only will there be these troubles, but also some of the hearts of his ministers. After all, almost all the ministers wanted Gao Yuan to be king. Therefore, the resistance of the plateau symmetry king is not so strong.

So Gao Yuan also nodded and said, "Okay, since everyone thinks so, then let's be king." ”

When all the officials heard this, they were also very happy, and immediately cheered in unison: "The lord is wise. ”

After the cheers of the officials subsided a little, Gao Yuan said: "However, although the matter of claiming the title of king has been decided, it is not now, but it will be held after the capital is moved." ”

Ning Qi smiled and said: "This is natural, now Daijun doesn't even have a decent palace, and the construction of Lingshou has been completed, and such a major event as being called the king will naturally have to wait until the capital is moved to Lingshou, but in Lingshou you have to add a high platform to make it." ”

In fact, there is no need to say that the plateau said, the officials also know that the ceremony of claiming the king must be carried out in Lingshou, not only because Lingshou will be the new capital of the plateau, but also because the residence of the plateau is actually built according to the standards of the palace, the geographical location is closer to the Central Plains, and all kinds of conditions are much better than those of Daijun. Although the project of Lingshou has not yet been completed, it is not a trivial matter to be called the king, that is, the opening of the business and the opening of the store, and it will also take a period of preparation. Therefore, it is completely possible to wait until the completion of Lingshou.

Seeing that everyone agreed with his decision, Gao Yuan said again: "There is also the matter of attacking Liaodong and destroying the remaining strength of the Yan Kingdom, and it is not appropriate to delay, I will determine the matter of sending troops in the next few days, but you must start preparing grain and grass materials immediately." As soon as I'm sure, I'll send my troops. ”

Ning Qi heard this, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, my lord, now that Daijun has prepared a lot of grain and grass materials, it can be transferred immediately, and when the army gathers, it can be dispatched immediately." ”

Since the end of the war of the Qin Dynasty, Daijun began to re-accumulate military supplies for future war needs, in the past nine months, although the accumulated materials are less than half of the previous ones, but it is more than enough to support the capture of Liaodong, because now the remnants of the Yan State are actually very weak, the population of Liaodong is only four or five hundred thousand, and the total number of troops is only thirty or forty thousand, which is not vulnerable at all, but Liaodong is far away, and it is in a cold place, and it is quite inconvenient to go on an expedition.

This is also the reason why Gao Yuan decided to send troops immediately and enter Liaodong, it is now the middle of April, and it is about to enter the summer, and now the troops can be sent to end the battle before the arrival of winter, and even the squad will return to the court, if it is delayed for another two or three months, I am afraid it will be too late.

Gao Yuan also nodded and said, "Okay, today, you all go and go busy with your business." ”

After the officials retreated, Gao Yuan came to the small courtyard where Guiguzi lived alone. At this time, Guiguzi was meditating in the quiet room, and when he saw that the plateau was coming, he also came out of the quiet room, and the two sat in the courtyard, Guiguzi smiled and said: "You just came back yesterday, there must be a lot of official business to deal with, if you are not free, you don't have to come to me." ”

Gao Yuan said: "Although I have been gone for almost eight months, it is basically a normal matter, and there is no major matter, you can look at it slowly, but this time I went to find the Bai Ling clan outside the Saiwai, and I found many things, and I need to ask the teacher." ”

Guigu said: "You have found something, let's hear about it." ”

Gao Yuan took the Tai Chi talisman that had been mutated into after absorbing the white water from his arms, handed it to Guigu Xiao, and said, "Teacher, please look at this." ”

When Guiguzi received it in his hand, he immediately felt the huge power contained in the Taiji talisman, and his expression couldn't help but change greatly, and said, "Where did this Taiji talisman come from." ”

Gao Yuan then told about what happened in the Bailing clan and how the talisman absorbed white water and turned into this Tai Chi talisman.

Guigu was not interested in the civil strife and changes that occurred within the Bai Ling Clan, but after learning the secret of Black Fire and White Water, he was quite moved and muttered: "So that's the case, it turns out that this is White Water." ”

Gao Yuan said: "Does the teacher also know about Baishui?" I've never heard a teacher talk about it before. ”

Guigu smiled bitterly and said: "I have seen the record of Baishui from some remaining bamboo slips, but in the war eight hundred years ago, most of the ancient books we have preserved have been destroyed, and many bamboo slips are fragments, just as the ancient books left behind, there is no preface, no afterword, just a few words, I don't know what Baishui is, so I haven't mentioned it to you." ”

Gao Yuan nodded and said: "According to the Great Master of the White Spirit Clan, the power of black fire is not only Chi You, but also the Yellow Emperor, but the Yellow Emperor also has the power of white water, which can dissolve the violent qi in the black fire, so he defeated Chi You." The great masters of the Bailing clan have been passed down by word of mouth, I have consulted a lot of ancient books in the Bailing clan, and I have not found any record of Baishui, probably because of secrecy, but after all, it is very old, and it has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes, so I think such a statement may not be all true, and maybe there is another hidden secret. ”

Guigu also nodded, and said: "It is passed down orally from generation to generation, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes, and it will be false, but the Bailing clan does not have these records, so it is really difficult to say whether these statements are true or false, and how many are true, but this may be Guan Jian who defeated the Jiuli clan, and we still have to try to figure out what Baishui is and how to use it." ”

Gao Yuan said: "Let's put aside the matter of Baishui first, this time I know some things about the Jiuli tribe on this trip." ”

When Guiguzi heard this, he was also a little surprised, and said, "There is still something about the Jiuli clan?" ”

So Gao Yuan told Guiguzi about Shui Xinyue and Fu Gongyan again.

After listening to this, Guigu's expression couldn't help but become solemn, and said: "Although Fu Gongyan failed to die this time, he went deep into the grassland alone to provoke the entire Xiongnu tribe, if it weren't for Shui Xinyue to give you a message, I'm afraid you would suffer a big loss this time." ”

Gao Yuan did not oppose Guigu Xiao's statement, and the most important reason why he was able to defeat Fu Gongyan this time was indeed that Shui Xinyue reported to him in advance, so that he could have enough time to prepare countermeasures. Otherwise, even if he won't be defeated by Fu Gongyan, but the people and horses will suffer heavy losses, that's for sure. That would lose only one or two thousand people, and it would defeat the army of 100,000 Huns.

Guigu said again: "It can be seen that Fu Gongyan's intelligence and martial arts should not be underestimated, I can't imagine that among the younger generation of the Jiuli clan, there will be such an outstanding person." ”

Gao Yuan also agreed with Guigu Xiao's statement, Fu Gongyan's intelligence is indeed no worse than Han Teng, and his failure this time, in addition to learning the news in advance, there is also an important reason, that is, he has too little experience, and there is a lack of helpers around him, if he has gone through three or four years of experience, and there is a team that can give him enough help, then the result will be very different, and it is really difficult to say whether he can return to Daijun safely.
