It turns out that the plot has advanced to the point where Xiang Yu is about to enthrone the princes and kings of the world in Xianyang City. Some people may say, haven't all the kings of Guandong already appeared before Xiang Yu?
There are already kings of Han, Yan, Zhao, and Qi, so why does Xiang Yu still have the title of king?
This is because all the kings who appeared before were self-proclaimed, or were supported by their subordinates and became kings. They were not truly canonized as kings by those in power in a legal sense.
Some people don't even have royal blood. Such kings are okay when there is chaos, but when the world is stable, a strong presence is still needed to canonize the kings.
Originally, the person to be canonized should be the Emperor of Zhou, but the problem is that the Emperor of Zhou has long been demoted to a mortal, and the entire Zhou royal family has even been crushed by Qin. It is impossible for anyone from the Zhou royal family to be qualified to be canonized.
So judging from the current situation, the only person qualified to be canonized as Pig King is Xiang Yu. This man defeated the Qin army and burned the entire Xianyang City. His force value made everyone tremble with fear. Let him do it. It seems to be a matter of course to canonize the kings.
But even if Xiang Yu came to confer the title, many people still expressed dissatisfaction.
Because in their eyes, Xiang Yu is just a descendant of a Chu general, but they are genuine descendants of the royal family and have noble royal blood.
Although you, Xiang Yu, defeated the Qin State, and although you are unparalleled in combat effectiveness, without you, Xiang Yu, we scum would never be able to recover.
But your Xiang Yu bloodline is not good enough, and you are not qualified to canonize the kings.
You are just a slave of ours, why should you ride on our head and become the king?
Of course, the princes did not dare to say this directly, so they found an honest reason, that is, they thought that King Huai of Chu of Pre-Qin Dynasty should come to Xianyang, and he should preside over the king-making ceremony and decide on various matters. The size of the territory of the princes and kings.
This reason is perfect. After all, no matter how strong you Xiang Yu is, you are still nominally a general of King Chu Huai. There is no reason to go beyond King Chu Huai and let you, a general, become the king. This violates the basic rules.
This reason is indeed very strong. However, Xiang Yu did not follow common sense at all. He went directly to a military camp, limited the time, and required all princes to come to participate in the king-making ceremony. Anyone who did not come would be the remnant of the Qin State and would not get anything. Not to mention the title of king, Xiang Yu will lead his army to exterminate these remnants of Qin.
Good guy, as soon as I said these words, on the day of the canonization, all the princes appeared in the military camp obediently. There was no way, the situation was stronger than the people, Xiang Yu's force was here, everyone could only hold their noses. Accepted it.
This is the content of Chapter 1 updated today. After reading it, all readers are very excited and nervously looking forward to the next two chapters. They are eager to know how Xiang Yu plans to become the king.
According to everyone’s group chat, readers are most concerned about the following points.
The first is how Xiang Yu plans to confer Liu Bang. First of all, according to what King Huai of Chu said, he who enters Guanzhong first will be the king. So Xiang Yu should confer Liu Bang as the King of Guanzhong, so some readers insist that Liu Bang will eventually become the King of Guanzhong. So, everyone had some unpleasant quarrels at the Hongmen Banquet before, but didn’t everyone agree to let it go?
Didn't Xiang Yu not kill Liu Bang?
Opponents believed that Xiang Yu would never hand over such an important territory in Guanzhong to Liu Bang under any circumstances. Xiang Yu definitely wanted to become king in Guanzhong himself, or at the worst, he would make several of his close men kings in Guanzhong.
And this is related to the second key point, which is how Xiang Yu plans to canonize himself.
After all, there is a saying that among the princes, many have already called themselves kings, but Xiang Yu's own title is just a general. In terms of title, it is lower than many princes. Xiang Yu must also give himself a title. King's.
If this is the case, it is very interesting where the fiefdom is. Some people think that the fiefdom 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 over the Central Plains area, which is an area centered on Luoyang, where Emperor Zhou lived. It is more prosperous and geographically conducive to controlling the entire world.
Some people think that Xiang Yu will definitely be very humble. He will not canonize himself as king at least in name. Instead, he will pretend to ask King Chu Huai for instructions, and King Chu Huai will canonize himself as king.
Now that we are talking about King Huai of Chu, let’s talk about the third key point, which is how Xiang Yu should deal with King Huai of Chu.
Now the position of King Chu Huai is actually very embarrassing. He is nominally the leader of Xiang Yu, but his confidant Song Yi is dead, and almost all the Chu army is in the hands of Xiang Yu. King Chu Huai is already a veritable puppet. .
Would Xiang Yu be willing to let a puppet ride on his head?
But does Xiang Yu really have the courage to depose King Chu Huai?
So someone came to Xiuyan with three questions and asked Xiang Yu how to deal with it better.
Xiuyan thought for a while and then said, "Liu Bang can't be sealed in Guanzhong, where he can easily escape control. Nor can he be sealed in a remote place, where he can easily grow up without worries. He should be sealed in the position closest to Xiang Yu. , when Liu Bang disobeys even a little bit, Xiang Yu can immediately find a reason to beat him up, or even kill him directly to avoid future troubles."
"As for Xiang Yu himself, he definitely wants to be a king, at least first, but he can't make himself a king. This is too ugly. He should send his confidants to lead an army to find King Chu Huai and let King Chu Huai Come and make him king, and then seal him near Luoyang, which will be the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty in later generations. From this position, you can control the world keenly and not be passive."
"Alas, in fact, Xiang Yu should not host the canonization ceremony by himself. He should first invite King Chu Huai to come and canonize all the princes. King Chu Huai would not dare to disobey Xiang Yu anyway, but it is a pity that Xiang Yu is too proud. I must take this honor by myself."
"As for how to deal with King Chu Huai in the end, it must be to make him the emperor first, hang him up high, and make him a puppet completely!"
"Finally, as for the territories of those princes, it is actually very simple to canonize them. That is to canonize them according to the original terrain of each prince and the area they actually control."
"This way, no one has anything to say. It is the most fair and reasonable way of canonization." Xiuyan analyzed and gave his own answer.
Just as everyone expected, in a new chapter, Xiang Yu began his performance.
First of all, Xiang Yu dealt with the issue of King Huai of Chu. Xiang Yu announced that since the violent Qin had been destroyed, the whole world should naturally return to the previous era of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.
That is to say, there is a nominal emperor who rules the world, and the princes of the world respect the emperor as their co-lord.
King Huai of Chu should be the co-leader of the world. Therefore, King Huai of Chu should no longer be a king from now on, but should be called emperor, a veritable emperor and emperor.
Having said that, Xiang Yu's decision is actually very reasonable, and all the princes are very convinced of it. It is also the optimal solution according to Xiu Yan.
But then Xiang Yu changed the subject and said cheerfully that since King Chu Huai has proclaimed himself emperor and has become the common master of the world, he should no longer use the title of King Chu.
After all, you are the master of the world, so 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 Qin Dynasty.
So Xiang Yu announced that King Chu Huai has been upgraded. From today on, he will become Emperor Yi from King Huai of Chu. He is the emperor of the world and is no longer the king of Chu!
This decision naturally made many princes at the scene feel outrageous, but if you think about it carefully, it seems to make sense. After all, they are not willing to let someone with the title of Chu be the emperor, so it is good to remove the title of Chu.
It's just that the word "righteous emperor" is a bit subtle no matter how you look at it.
Being loyal is certainly a good thing, but is there anyone in the world who can become an emperor by relying on loyalty?
No matter how you look at it, it feels like a street gangster recommending a double bonus stick. When you are a gang boss, you can use the word "righteousness", but if you want to be an emperor, the word "righteousness" is definitely not a good word.
At the same time, another question arises, that is, since King Xiong Xin of Chu Huai is no longer the king of Chu, will there still be King Chu and Kingdom of Chu in this world?
Of course, because Xiang Yu announced next that he would be the new king of Chu from today, and his king's title was very domineering, called Overlord of Western Chu!
Well, the Western character for "Overlord of Western Chu" was not added by later generations, but Xiang Yu added a Western character to himself when he announced his title.
Due to various reasons, the address was changed to
