Chapter 178 (II)

August 3, 16th year, Xiangyang City

The sun was about to set, and when the twilight approached, the surrounding light dimmed.

Some rich and noble families in the city have begun to light lamps and candles in their rooms, and in the inner city, the Taishou Mansion has been lit up, and Wang Hongyi is contemplating.

In the first two months, King Wu and the Marquis of Chu attacked up and down, trying to defeat Wang Hongyi in one fell swoop and end Wang Hongyi's ascension.

At this time, the counties were initially peaceful, once the war burned, the counties were difficult to grasp, Wang Hongyi decided to take advantage of the situation that King Wu was eager to fight, and there was only a water division, and adopted the pattern of the water division battle to gain time.

After two months of stalemate, both sides were actually tired, but Wang Hongyi was healthy in the county at this time, and the army was raising jīng and training.

Now that the time was ripe, Wang Hongyi only needed to send a large army to attack Jiangling, and a semi-encircled pattern was formed, so that King Wu had to fight a decisive battle.

"Lord, it's getting late, do you want to eat?" was thinking, when a chamberlain came over and asked cautiously.

"Prepare. Wang Hongyi thought about it, and casually said a few dishes he wanted to eat, and the waiter sang a promise to retreat.

In the small hall, Wang Hongyi sat in a position, with a sumptuous dinner in front of him, facing these delicacies, the bamboo chopsticks in his hand were placed aside, and his eyes were slightly closed.

There was no one else in the hall, and no one noticed his abnormality.

Thinking about it, feeling the changes in the tripod above his head, Wang Hongyi's expression was solemn.

The tripod that was damaged and cracked in the flagship defense battle has been repaired at this time.

In the ding, a light purple sè natal qi began to continuously transform the green qi in the ding into the qi of the light purple qi, and a little bit of the qi luck of the lilac qi continued to be born, gradually penetrating into the ding, and the ding changed as a result.

Almost at the same time, the purple canopy had already faintly appeared.

Purple Qi has been a symbol of the Son of Heaven for a long time, but with the reproduction and expansion of the population, it has become a second layer, but it is also a representative of the royal qi.

The generation of purple qi, in the case of ministers, means becoming the ruler and becoming the prime minister of the country.

For independent forces, it is even more critical, which means that they really have the personality of the king, Wang Hongyi has been observing the changes in the Dingqi in the past few days.

By now, one-third of his luck had turned into a light purple gas.

After watching for a long time, Wang Hongyi slowly opened his eyes.

Only then did I realize that the sweat stains on my body were close to my body, and I was wet.

At this time, it was the hot summer season, although there were ice cubes in the room, just now I concentrated on the jīng god to watch, and at this time I relaxed, and naturally I was sweating.

Although the tripod is expanded, only by being the king can the king be formally formed.

In other words, at this time, it can be called the crown!

"Someone. At this time, the dinner was already seventy percent full, Wang Hongyi stopped eating and called out.

The waiter who had been outside early immediately heard the sound and came in, waiting for Wang Hongyi's orders.

"Clean up this place, and prepare bath water for Lone, Lone needs to bathe and change clothes. ”

"No. The chamberlain retreated and prepared.

Wang Hongyi walked out of the small hall and waited for the bath water, during which he only felt that his clothes were sticky and uncomfortable.

The waiter acted quickly, and in a moment, there was a waiter carrying a hot water bucket and a wooden basin, walking in from the outside, and quickly arranging everything for the bath.

Because he was not in the palace, Wang Hongyi didn't pay attention to anything, waved his hand to let the chamberlain go down, and he was alone, soaked in the vat, half-squinted, and stayed quietly in the room filled with white air.

After soaking for half an hour, the water was completely cold, so I got up, changed into clean clothes, asked someone to clean up the room, and lay on the bed alone, continuing to study.

But seeing his luck, he continued to transform into a light purple qi little by little, and at this time, there was no more red light strike.

Qi runs purple, and the ruler and the king's life are characterized.

In the past, he refused the title of King of Qin, first, he didn't want to fall for Wei Yue's scheme.

What's more important is that at that time, his life was not enough to be called the king, and he was only afraid that his luck would be quickly exhausted, and if he couldn't fill it in time, he would die and die.

When the imperial court declined in the past dynasties, there were rebels or powerful ministers who tried to claim the king, but such people often could not last long, which was unpopular with the people, but lack of luck was also a taboo, which was self-destruction of good fortune.

Wang Hongyi would never do anything that was not good for him.

At this time, he was lucky, purple gas has been born, and he has reached the fate of being the king, and now the situation in the world is not the time to refuse the title of King Qin, and there is a big dispute in the world, and the princes are already fighting for red eyes.

At this time, it is justified to be king, and you can also compete for the first opportunity.

It can be said that the battle of Jiangling is almost the same as the king, as long as the king of Wu is defeated, he can be called king in Xiangyang or Jiangling, unify Jingzhou with the name of king, and then break the land of Wu.

Thinking of this, Wang Hongyi had no intention of sleeping again, got up from the bed, put on his shoes and socks, put on his coat, and came to the outside of the small study.

"Lord. When the patrolling soldiers saw him, they knelt down and saluted.

Wang Hongyi nodded slightly and walked into the study by himself.

The study is not big, but it is quiet and elegant.

A red sandalwood bookcase, full of books, a small table of pears, a porcelain vase with rain over azure, several flowers, sparse has not been put away, elegant and pleasant.

There was only pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk, and after Wang Hongyi sat down, his own chamberlain stepped forward to grind.

The waiter studied the ink, put it in front of him, and retreated, Wang Hongyi picked up the pen, spread out a piece of paper, and brushed and wrote on it.

After writing, he took his personal seal and pressed it on it. Fold the letter and seal it in an envelope.

Wang Hongyi spread out another piece of paper and wrote a letter again, still pressing his personal seal and sealing it.

"Go and ask Master Zhang to come here. Next, Wang Hongyi was ready to draft a decree, which needed to be discussed with Zhang Youzhi, so Wang Hongyi called in a personal soldier and asked him to invite Zhang Youzhi here.

The pro-soldier leader ordered to retreat, Wang Hongyi took the tea from the waiter and drank it gently.

It didn't take long for Zhang Youzhi to rush over.

"Zhang Qing, you came just in time, I have something to discuss with you. Wang Hongyi beckoned to sit down, and said to the people serving here, "Serve tea to Master Zhang." ”

"Thank you, Lord. "Someone served tea and served it to Zhang Youzhi.

In the room, Zhang Youzhi saw two sealed letters on the bookcase, but did not ask, waiting for the lord's words.

"Zhang Qing, I called you over in a hurry because I have one thing to discuss with you. Wang Hongyi said: "Yu Qing went back to tweak, but it's okay, just arrange it." ”

Yu Liangbo manages internal affairs, which is actually very hard, and he travels back and forth between Shu and Jing from time to time.

Of course, once he becomes king, officially establishes the six divisions, and upgrades the Secret Pavilion, he will not be so busy.

"Yes!" Zhang Youzhi sat upright and said with his hands arched.

Speaking of which, it was also lonely who suddenly thought of this and was a little anxious. Wang Hongyi thought of his anxiety just now, and couldn't help but feel a little lost, shook his head, and said: "This matter, you and I have also discussed it before, that is...... The thing that reigns. ”

Wang Hongyi doesn't need, or doesn't need his subordinates to figure out the above table, when to be king, and he has his own charter to say.

"Called the king?" Zhang Youzhi's eyes froze, he didn't dare to sit upright anymore, he got up and fell on the ground, he was originally a first-class talent, and this time he bent down, and he thought of a large piece of music in his heart.

"The independent public army, repeated victories, and since the Jishui County has been governing, it has been lenient and fierce, thin levy, reduced forced labor, and light land tax, so that the people are healthy and prosperous, and all industries have recovered, and it is only a few years, the warehouse is gradually full, and there are 100,000 soldiers, these are the foundation of the emperor. ”

"To have this foundation, thanks to the lord's diligent work day and night, strategizing, now is the world of great contention, with this emperor's foundation, but also need a famous weapon - only the name of the instrument can not be faked, the lord wants to level the world, must set up a famous weapon. ”

"Originally in Shu, the name of the Duke of Shu is sufficient, now the dragon is in the south, the Duke of the Kingdom is insufficient, the Lord is called the king, it is really ordered by the sky, otherwise it can not save the people in the fire and water, which is in line with the road of salvation and governance, will be blessed by God, other things, the minister is still not thorough for a while, please teach the Lord. ”

Wang Hongyi listened quietly, chewing Zhang Youzhi's words carefully, especially the sentence "This is in line with the road to salvation and governance", which made him chew repeatedly.

After a long time, he smiled and said: "It is already deafening to be able to say this in a hurry." ”

"The ancients are often cloudy, and those who follow the path are prosperous, which is actually a cliché, but it is also the road of the country. ”

"Now in this game, if you don't have the foundation of the emperor and call the king, you are naturally asking for your own death, but with the foundation of the emperor and not being called the king, this is also the blame of God. ”

"Since ancient times, everything has been done by the way, and this is indeed in line with the road of salvation and governance. ”

After saying this, he reached out to get the tea and drank it: "The six divisions and the center must be moved, and the lonely inner palace must also be moved. We'll discuss the specifics. ”

But Wang Hongyi has the bottom in his heart.

Originally, he was the Duke of Shu, and he was known as the King of Shu, so he was naturally very reasonable.

The King of Shu was one of the famous kings in ancient times, and he had the title of King of Shu in all dynasties, but if you really study it, you will find that the King of Shu is a lock dragon, the pattern is not large, and there are many people who have died.

Wang Hongyi naturally didn't take it, although he conquered Jiangling, only half of Chu land, but at this time he was called the king of Chu, but it was okay.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Shicheng also called King Wu back then!

Chu is a big country, this world has also been hegemonic, inherited for twenty generations, the foundation is deep and heavy, called the queen of Chu, merging the foundation, the most important thing is to reduce the time, it can be done quickly, and it is more than enough to annex the south.

However, even if he seizes the world, Wang Hongyi will definitely not be called the Emperor of Chu, all the old names have influence, it is better to be like the Ming and Qing dynasties, and they will condense the new names and call the emperor.

This is deeply imprinted with Wang Hongyi's understanding of luck.

Of course, these thoughts should not be explained directly, and then the two of them talked at night.

After a night, a secret metaphor, along with two secret letters, was sent to Chengdu Mansion by Wang Hongyi with people from the Thirteen Divisions.

This is, of course, a matter of migration and preparation.

It is inevitable that some old laws persuaded by the ministers will enter.
