Summoning the world to be one

Chapter 547
Chapter 548: King Qin Proclaims Emperor
The number one emperor comes from Yingzheng, the first emperor of Qin Dynasty. At that time, Yingzheng relied on his strong national power to fight against the survivors of the sixth generation, sweep Liuhe, and return to unity. His name is not worthy of his own, so he created the word "emperor" as his honorary title, and called himself Qin Shihuang. The world lasted for only 15 years, and less than five years after his death, the Great Qin Empire collapsed.

And the title of emperor has only been used by two people since ancient times. One is the founder Qin Shihuang Yingzheng, and the other is Qin II Yinghu Hai. After Ying killed Zhao Gao, he abolished the title of emperor and restored the title of king of Qin, so he was not considered emperor, so there were only two people who could be honored as emperor from the beginning to the end.

After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, there was another person who also proclaimed himself emperor, that is, the emperor of the communist world at that time, but the status of the communist master of the world is self-evident, and was later assassinated by Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu.

Since then, although there have been many kings in the world, there has never been an emperor, and the number one emperor has become a legend. Now the king of Qin wants to be called emperor, which can't help but shock Deng Sheng and others.

Calling the emperor Deng Sheng is not without thought, but Deng Sheng feels that only the ruler of the world has this qualification, otherwise what is the difference from a grass head king?Unexpectedly, Deng, the most powerful state in the world, did not become the emperor, and Zhao, the former overlord of the world, did not become the emperor. On the contrary, Qin, whose strength has been weakening again and again, would become the emperor.

Originally, Emperor No. [-] came from the ancestors of the Qin State, so it is understandable to inherit this title as a descendant, but as we all know, the emperor is more respected than the king. Now that you, the king of Qin, are called emperor, how can you embarrass the situation between Deng Guo and Zhao Guo?
"Yao Qing, is the news true?" Deng Sheng suppressed the shock in his heart and asked Yao Guangxiao, he wanted to confirm the authenticity of the news.

Yao Guangxiao nodded and said, "It's true. This news is that Chang'an Mingjing bought many important officials of the Qin State to inquire about it. It can't be faked, and the Qin State court is already preparing. Minister, let the whole world celebrate."

That can't be faked. The state of Qin has made such a fuss, it is impossible to make a fake news, otherwise it will be a great blow to the people of Qin.

"Now Deng, Zhao, and Qin are three kingdoms, Qin is the weakest, and the land it occupies is only Guanzhong and Xiliang. Not to mention compared with the Great Qin Empire that swept Liuhe, it is even compared with Qin when Qin Shihuang ascended the throne. It’s far worse than that, where does the king of Qin have the confidence to call himself emperor? Isn’t the king of Qin afraid that my father Deng and Zhao Guoguo will attack him?” Jiang Wan asked puzzledly, Qin’s strength is the weakest among the three kingdoms, and its territory is also The youngest, if he rashly calls himself emperor, isn't he afraid that Deng Guo and Zhao Guo will do something to him?
Yao Guangxiao replied: "According to reports, there are two reasons why the King of Qin chose to be called the Emperor at this time. One is that my Great Deng and Zhao Guo fought in the Central Plains. If there is no winner, it is impossible for them to cease fighting. , even if King Qin proclaims himself emperor at this time, we will not stop the Great War in the Central Plains to deal with Qin."

Everyone nodded when they heard the words. This is a fact. Now both Deng Guo and Zhao Guo put more than [-]% of the domestic soldiers and horses in the Central Plains to fight to the death. Don't say that King Qin is the emperor. He and Zhao Guo will not stop fighting. After all, this is a war about the ownership of the world, and it can be stopped just by saying it. It has to be said that King Qin seized this opportunity very well.

"The second is that the King of Qin wants to establish his prestige in the Qin State by calling himself the emperor. As we all know, after the King of Qin ascended the throne, he was under the control of the five ministers everywhere. When the army and the Zhao army were fighting fiercely, they waited for the opportunity to move, but were stopped by the five ministers. Since the prestige cannot be established through war, it is undoubtedly the best choice to call the emperor." Yao Guangxiao said.

After everyone heard this, they finally understood King Qin's intentions. It seems that the interior of Qin is not monolithic. After King Qin becomes emperor, he will definitely challenge the prestige of the five ministers. If he can't handle it properly, a civil strife will happen everywhere. Inevitably.

"Your Majesty, I wonder what your Majesty's plan is for King Qin to become the Emperor?" At this time, Cui Hao came out and asked Deng Sheng.

As soon as Cui Hao said this, everyone turned their attention to Deng Sheng. If anyone in this world is most qualified to be the emperor, it is undoubtedly the king of the most powerful country in the world. Now King Qin will be called the emperor, so everyone Everyone wanted to know what Deng Sheng was thinking.

"Don't worry about it. For me, Great Deng, the most important thing now is to win the battle of the Central Plains. As long as Zhao is destroyed, the mere Qin State will be nothing more than a mantis' arm. When the world is in hand, this emperor will be truly righteous. "Deng Sheng also knows what these ministers think. They all want to call themselves emperors. This way, not only can they go further, but they can also increase their ranks. However, Deng Sheng thinks it is not the time yet. Yes, this emperor is the real emperor.

It's just that Deng Sheng thought so, but Cui Hao and others didn't think so. Zhang Bin came out and said: "Your Majesty's words are wrong. Calling the emperor is not as simple as changing a title. King Qin After proclaiming the emperor, King Zhao must be unwilling to be inferior. Once King Qin and King Zhao are proclaimed emperor one after another, if the king still has the title of king, then I, Da Deng, will be inferior to Qin Zhao in the future, although strength is the most important thing. Yes, but sometimes the name is also very important."

After Deng Sheng heard this, he paused for a moment. He really hadn't thought about this issue. He had to say that what Zhang Bin said made sense. The loss was a big blow to Deng Jun's morale. Deng Sheng was a little moved. After all, who wouldn't want to have the title of emperor?

However, Deng Sheng still flatly refused, saying that the time for the emperor has come, but the time has not yet come. To put it bluntly, at least Deng Sheng can't agree casually, so he said with a flick of his sleeves: "I have my own opinion on this matter. There is no need to say more. Today's discussion will be done." We're here, let's go!" After finishing speaking, he took Deng Hao and left Jingtai Hall.

On the way, Deng Hao still couldn't bear the curiosity in his heart, and asked Deng Sheng: "Father, said that the emperor is beneficial to Deng Deng, why didn't the father agree?"

When the officials persuaded him to come in, Deng Hao was very excited. Although Deng Sheng became the emperor, he was still a prince, and there was no change in fact, but there was a big difference here. An emperor's heir and a king's heir Can the heir do the same?

Deng Sheng smiled and said, "Hao'er, can't your father see what you can see? Of course, my father knows the benefits of being called emperor to Deng, but he can't just agree so casually, otherwise In the eyes of the world, the father is a person who does not know how to be humble."

"My son understands, my father is saying that I want to ask three times and resign three times!" Deng Hao suddenly realized.

Deng Sheng nodded knowingly, and said: "It's good to understand. Although it is expected by everyone, it is necessary to make a face-to-face meeting. It is enough for the father to walk alone. You can go to Ganyang Palace to handle government affairs." , then one walked away.

On the other hand, all the people who had just left the Jingtai Hall gathered at the Zhongshu Provincial Office.

"My lords, why doesn't your majesty agree to be called emperor? Even I, a martial artist, understands the benefits of being called emperor to me, Deng Ai. There is no reason why your majesty doesn't know?" Deng Ai asked everyone. In Deng Ai's opinion , the benefits of becoming the emperor are self-evident, this truth can be understood by oneself, there is no reason why Deng Sheng can't see it.

"Of course your majesty understands it!" Cui Hao smiled and said, "Actually, your majesty also knows that calling himself emperor is imperative, but he can't accept it so easily."

"Why is that?" Deng Ai still didn't understand.

"General Deng doesn't understand this. There is a saying in the Zhou Rites: Lord of the five accumulations, three questions, three speeches to accept, and all trips. Work again, three speeches, three bows, ascend, worship accept, worship send off. If the guests stop, they will accumulate, if the space is wide, they will ask questions, and if they practice the way, they will be tired. The rituals are all given by the high officials, from the beginning to the end, and the number is like this. Three words, the words are from the outside. The accumulation of questions is not stated, Receive it in the court, the lord works in the suburbs, resigns, resigns three times, rebels against the car, worships and insults, bows three times, bows to accept, sends the car off, returns three times, and bows again, so three requests and three speeches can show humility and be rewarded. All the people support it, so if you want the king to agree, you have to ask three times. Today is the first invitation, and if you come twice, the king will naturally agree." Zhang Bin said from the side.

"You literati are such moths. If you ask me, the king deserves the title of emperor. He just ascends to the throne. I want to see who dares to talk nonsense." Chang Yuchun said disdainfully .

Regarding Chang Yuchun's hob meat, everyone was also very speechless. Jiang Wan, who has a good relationship with Chang Yuchun, said to him: "General Chang, please ask three times and say three words to show your humility. Only in this way can you prove that the king is worthy of his name." Yes, don't worry, calling the emperor is the trend of the times, three requests and three speeches are just a little time delay, and will not affect the overall situation."

Both Chang Yuchun and Jiang Wan came from Deng Shengqian's residence, they were the first batch of Deng Sheng's subordinates, so Chang Yuchun still listened to Jiang Wan's words, so he didn't say anything more.

"Then when does Xiang Cui think we can persuade him to come in again?" Yao Guangxiao asked Cui Hao. As the head of all the officials, Cui Hao had the best layout for this matter.

Cui Hao thought for a while and said, "There is no rush. After all, since Qin II, there has never been an emperor in the world, so we can't be the first to do it. It's better to let the king of Qin be the emperor first, and wait for the king of Qin to be the emperor." When the news comes, we will invite you again."

Everyone felt reasonable after hearing the words, after all, the No. 1 was simply let King Qin do it first.

Sure enough, in the next few days, everyone acted as if nothing had happened, and no one mentioned this matter again until the news came that King Qin proclaimed himself emperor.

In the 28th year of Qianyuan, on the first day of the first lunar month, after worshiping the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, King Yingzhuang of Qin proclaimed himself emperor in the Tai'a Hall of Chang'an with the support of his officials, and called himself the Nineteenth Emperor of Qin (Yingzhuang is the No. The 17 kings, plus Qin Shihuang and Qin II, happened to be No.19 to him. As for Qin Ziying, Ying Zhuang did not admit it. After all, he was the only king who surrendered in the history of Qin), and succeeded Qin Shihuang II , The third generation is the slogan passed down forever.

King Qin proclaimed the emperor, and the world was shocked. Unexpectedly, more than 200 years later, Emperor No. [-] would reappear, and after King Qin proclaimed emperor, all eyes gathered on Wancheng and Jinyang.

When the news reached Wancheng, the civil and military officials headed by Cui Hao once again went to the palace to persuade them to come in. Unsurprisingly, Deng Sheng refused again.
