Chapter 406 Chapter 472 Chapter 473
The Prince Dynasty finally took control of Luoyi, and the morale of the soldiers of the three armies was at its peak.
And Wang Zichao didn't delay for a moment, and immediately summoned the old confidants to discuss the next matter of becoming king.
"Your Highness, now that the overall situation has been decided, you can immediately announce to the world that you will take care of the matter of offering sacrifices to the heavens. According to King Jing's will, you will be enthroned as the Son of Heaven!"
Yan Luo has always been outspoken, but now he speaks without restraint.
Wang Zichao hesitated for a moment:
"Although it has stabilized now, Shan Qi, Liu Di and the others have established a new king of Zhou. It seems inappropriate to be king at this time!"
Yin Buying came out again and said:
"Your Highness, the prince is too young to be independent. What's more, he was a puppet supported by Shan Qi and Liu Di, and King Jing and King Mourning passed away successively. He must be inseparable from the two. Your Highness's ascension to the throne is really justified! Now that you have entered Luoyi, and everyone is united, I think there is nothing wrong with it!"
At this time, Nangong Lian also came out and said:
"His Royal Highness has now lived in Wang Ji, and he deserves his name. Please, Your Highness, don't take the overall situation first! Otherwise, the Zhou family will be unstable, which is not good for me! I hope His Highness can inherit the position of Datong!"
In fact, how can the prince not have the heart to be king when he is so tossing around?Now that everyone said that, it was even more heart-wrenching.But he still has another worry, that is, although the situation has stabilized now, they only defeated the so-called "Wang Shi" of Shan Qi and Liu Di after all.
The fact that Jin had never participated in the war was the key to their victory this time.
And if he becomes the king, will the Jin Dynasty send troops again?It's hard to say what the situation was like at that time.
The prince looked at Zhao Gong Ji Huan, and Ji Huan also knew that he still wanted to make his own statement.
"Your Highness, since ancient times, if the name is not correct, the words will not go smoothly, and the words will not go well! The actions of Your Highness, some outsiders call it "chaos", and the word "chaos" already explains everything. If Your Highness wants to occupy justice, to disclose King Jing's last will, and to inherit the great unification, it is a good way!"
These people follow Wang Zichao, and they naturally hope that he can ascend the throne.
Some of them do hope to revive the Zhou family, but most of them are just a way of choosing sides and standing in teams. To put it bluntly, they block everything and seek the greatest benefits for themselves and future generations.
After the prince's court affairs are completed, he will not treat these followers badly.
In fact, although King Jing intended to establish the prince as the crown prince, he did not leave any will. This so-called "public King Jing's will" is a forgery to put it bluntly.
"Yin is not a sycophant, I will leave it to you to find the will! When it is done, I will give you another reward!"
Encouraged by Zhao Gong, Wang Zichao immediately made up his mind.If this matter is implemented, then it will no longer be on the side of the Qing emperor, but a real orthodox dispute!
This time, Wang Zichao was discussing matters with the confidants of the old ministry, but Li Ran was not among them. When he learned that Wang Zichao was going to become king, he became anxious and met Wang Zichao immediately.
Of course Wang Zichao knew what Li Ran was doing.Coincidentally, he also wanted to hear Li Ran's real thoughts.
"Sir, now that the situation has stabilized, after thinking about it, if you want to make a difference, the only way is to ascend the throne and become king!"
"Your Highness, but you think this is inappropriate! Right now, although the situation seems to be stable, it is not under full control. Although Jin has withdrawn its troops, it is still watching the fire from the other side. Your Highness is now the king, but you think that , On the contrary, it will come true. The world will say that His Highness is just coveting the throne, and not really for the purpose of helping the Zhou family. People's words are terrible, this is a big taboo!"
Wang Zichao remained silent, then picked up the glass of clear water on the table, drank it down, showing displeasure.
"According to Mr., can't you become the emperor now?"
"His Royal Highness, there is no rush to become king at this moment. I am not against His Royal Highness being king, but feel that it is inappropriate to be king now! As the saying goes, 'If you get the right way, you will get more help, but if you are wronged, you will get little help'. Shan and Liu's abuse of Zhou will win the sympathy of the people in the world. If you rashly become king at this moment, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the people in the world!"
The prince pulled a smile towards the corner of his mouth, but he was obviously not satisfied with Li Ran's answer.
"In your opinion, when will this palace be able to become king?"
"Get rid of the two thieves, Shan Qi and Liu Di, and properly deal with the king of Zhou. When the world is settled, he can be peacefully abdicated. Only in this way can the Zhou family be stable and the people of the world be convinced. At that time, the princes will also Bow your head and proclaim yourself a minister. If you rush to become king now, I'm afraid it will be disadvantageous to Your Highness!"
"Then... what if I insist on taking the throne?"
Li Ran looked at Wang Zichao, and suddenly there was a bit of King Ling of Chu on this person who looked like Prince Jin.
"Your Highness, please think twice! You must make the best judgment, and don't be interfered by others..."
"Okay, sir, I already know about it. There is no need to say anything about it. Since it will be done sooner or later, why not do it sooner or later? The world is unpredictable, and maybe it is not necessarily a bad thing."
Li Ran sighed secretly in his heart, in this situation, it was inconvenient to say more, so he had to cup his hands and say:
"Since that's the case, I only hope that His Highness can get what he wants, but after assuming the throne, you must not be complacent or complacent. You must first appease people's hearts, and then proceed step by step, build high walls, and accumulate food!"
"Build walls high, accumulate food widely, and become king slowly." This was the strategic policy established by Zhu Sheng when Zhu Yuanzhang conquered the world. Li Ran said it now, but it is appropriate, but it seems that "becoming king slowly" cannot be implemented. .
When the prince heard the words, he smiled and said:
"Sir, what you said is true!"
But deep down in Li Ran's heart, he suddenly felt that Wang Zichao might be going to repeat the mistakes of King Ling of Chu.But he had secretly made up his mind before, to assist Wang Zichao to fulfill the long-cherished wish of Prince Jin, but now there is no room for turning around?
In the past, when he was in Chu State, he was still thinking of quitting because of the disagreement between King Ling of Chu and him.But now that he has identified his master, how can he just leave immediately?
Even if he wanted to leave, the world was so big, where else could he go?
……
Soon, Yin Buying forged a copy of King Jing's last decree.The prince proclaimed to the public and ascended the throne in the Zhuang Palace.Li Ran saw that the matter had become a foregone conclusion, and he did not remonstrate rashly.
After ascending the throne, the prince is full of fighting spirit, but the front is full of good news for a while.
Yin Yu defeated Liu Di one after another, took Xiwei, the city on the west side of Dongyu, and took advantage of the momentum, and then attacked Kuaiyi, and Kuaiyi's defenders were also directly defeated.
Wang Zichao was overjoyed and full of confidence when he got this battle report. At the same time, he was even more convinced that he had made the right move in becoming king.
But Li Ran became more and more worried about this.
The current situation is exactly the same as that of King Ling of Chu.
The momentum is unstoppable and unstoppable, the more so, the more prone to problems.
Wang Zichao was obviously a little carried away, and after he ascended the throne, he wantonly enshrined the people around him.
Li Ran made great contributions, and Wang Zichao wanted Li Ran to be the grand teacher.
But Li Ran was not interested in it.
"Your Majesty, the subject is dressed in white, and he is at ease. Now he has no intention of serving as an imperial servant. It will be enough to regain the post of the history of the collection room when the head of the thief is eliminated!"
The prince was slightly taken aback.
"History of the collection room... but this is too wronged sir!"
"The minister left Wang Ji before, and he was the post of the history of the collection room. When the official returns to his post, he will be able to fulfill his wish. Moreover, Ran's heart is also suitable for this position. This is a person who makes the best use of it, so I can't say I am wronged!"

Chapter 473_Recruitment
When the prince heard the words, he couldn't help squinting his eyes.
"Even if Mr. Gu has this intention, Guzi will not object, but right now, Mr. Gu needs to be by Gu's side to advise! As for this matter, we can discuss it later."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Ran heard the sound and thanked Jishou.
"Sir, Sima Wu has made great contributions. I just want to reward him again and formally designate him as Da Sima! I don't know what you want?" (Da Sima: the head of Xia Guan, in charge of military affairs)
Li Ran knew that Wang Zichao wanted to make himself an official, but he had politely refused.So he wanted to find a balance again, and conferring Sun Wu was like giving himself a favor. Da Sima was in charge of Zhou Bangzhi's military affairs. Although he was not as good as San Gong and Da Zong Bo, his status was also very high.It can be described as an extremely human minister.
But Li Ran didn't want to overshadow the master, so he could only say:
"Your Majesty, Sun Wu is currently fighting abroad, and I'm afraid he has no time to take care of other things. The position of Da Sima is very important. The former was temporarily appointed to his post, but the situation forced him to do so. However, after all, Sun Wu, like the humble minister, is neither a clan Afterwards, it is not proper to accept this important task. I think that when the situation gets better in the future, it is better to find someone else to take up this position!"
When the prince heard the words, he nodded again:
"Okay, since that's the case, let's think about it again, how to deal with it properly..."
At this moment, You Gongzheng came to report that it was Nangong Lu who asked to see him.
Wang Zichao summoned him immediately, and after Nangong Jie came in, he performed some courtesies as a monarch and minister.
"Your Majesty! I would like to recommend someone, but this person has fought against His Majesty before. I only hope that His Majesty will ignore the past and invite him to meet him!"
Wang Zichao heard that someone came to vote, and he was in a good mood, so he couldn't help smiling:
"Who exactly are you talking about?"
"Ganggong loach!"
Gan Loach was ordered by Shan Qi to attack when Wang Zichao had just reoccupied the capital.
After he was defeated, he returned to Luoyi and was no longer valued by Shanqi.Gan Loach was not reconciled, seeing that the prince was in great power, he came to vote.
The prince was overjoyed when he heard that, and said with a smile:
"Since that's the case, let him come in! I want to give him a big reward! By the way, there is still a vacancy for the position of Sikong, so let's make him Sikong!"
Nangong Li's face showed joy.
"Your Majesty is wise, I will let Duke Gan come to see you."
Nangong Li got up and went out, Li Ran took a step forward, he couldn't keep silent now, even if Wang Zichao was in a good mood now, he had to pour this pot of cold water.
"Your Majesty! Duke Gan's vote today may not be a good thing!"
The prince was startled:
"It's not a good thing? Doesn't this just show that Shan Qi has been betrayed by everyone and is unpopular. This is really a good thing, how can it be said that it is not a good thing?"
"Whether Gan's vote is sincere or not is still unknown. It seems that those who come to vote can be allowed to live here temporarily, but they must not be entrusted with important tasks!"
"If the orphan is not reused, how can other people who wait and see sincerely invest in it? Sir, it is too much to think about!"
Hearing this, Li Ran couldn't help shaking his head sadly:
"Your Majesty, back then King Ling of Chu built the Zhanghua Terrace to accept the dead from all over the world, but he was eventually deceived by him. Today, the son is also recruiting and accepting rebels in the same way. I am afraid that he will be killed by him in the future!"
Wang Zichao's expression couldn't help but change:
"If he came to vote this time, if Gu refused to accept, wouldn't he be loved and hated? Such a kind deed, why did it become a big fallacy in the mouth of Mr.? Besides, Mr. compared Gu to a barbarian king... It is a slip of the tongue!"
Li Ran knew that Wang Zichao was unhappy, but he had to say something:
"Your Majesty! "The Great Oath" says that there are billions of barbarians in Zhou, and there are also Lide; there are ten rebel officials who are of one heart and one mind. This is the reason why Zhou died and Zhou prospered. Today, the emperor does not care about his virtue, I'm afraid I'm going to lose people, and employing people is not about the number of people, but about the quality! Although the minister is talking nonsense, his heart is only for His Majesty's thoughts! I hope His Majesty will worry more."
Wang Zichao stood up, paced back and forth, hesitated for a long time, and said:
"Sir! Mr. Gan did have a feud with Gu before, but why not the Gong Jian? Since Mr. can let Gong Jian go, why do you want Mr. Gan to be used by me now? What kind of thoughts are you thinking, sir? "
Li Ran knew that Wang Zichao had become suspicious of him at this moment:
"Your Majesty, thinking about the Gong Jian, it is nothing more than ineffective defense of the city, and after being captured, he did not surrender. It is also the work of a gentleman. If you vote later, it is not a bad idea to use it for yourself! But Gan Loach is a treacherous villain. People, he once hijacked refugees to attack, and he has long since lost his support. Now that he sees that the situation in Shanqi is unfavorable, he will run away. Such villains must not be placed at your side...Your Majesty!"
"Okay, Mister really thinks too much! No matter how bad the Gan family is, they have come to surrender! That Gong Jian was sent away by Mr., after a period of silence, and now he is serving by Gu Na Wang's brother. Banner was promoted again. At the beginning when Mr. let him go, Gu had some doubts, but he trusted Mr. as a man, so he agreed. Today, Mr. insists on blocking Gu Zhong from using Mr. Gan, is it too unreasonable?"
Wang Zichao thought that Li Ran was suspected of usurping power, so he was dissatisfied, and his words were polite with a little doubt.
Li Ran couldn't help feeling depressed. According to his character, he should have kept his mouth shut at this moment, but he was sincerely doing the prince's favor, so he could only remonstrate at this time:
"Your Majesty...what I said is not the truth, but the way of the king! It is not the actions of a gentleman to drive the refugees to attack the city and escape before the battle! The position of Sikong is in charge of the city defense, and it is related to your majesty's safety. A treacherous person is in charge?"
The prince said in a deep voice:
"The appointment of an official position is a matter of one's own calculation, so there is no need to say anything!"
While talking, Gan Loach was brought in by Nangong Ye, and Gan Loach bent down on the ground.
"Sinner Gan Loach, pay homage to Your Majesty!"
"Get up, there's no need to mention the sinful minister. The past can be ignored. From now on, there will be no suspicion between you and my ministers. I only want Xu Qing to take the post of director! I don't know what's going on?"
When Gan Loach heard this, he sat down in tears of gratitude and said:
"Thank you for your majesty's kindness, your majesty is generous, regardless of the crimes of humble ministers, even if you are heartbroken, it is difficult for you to repay your majesty's kindness!"
Seeing this situation, Li Ran was in an extremely bad mood.
When the prince saw this, he waved his hand.
"Mr. Ziming, you have worked hard for Gu Gu day and night, and it is very hard. You should step back and rest!"
Hearing this, Li Ran bowed and had to leave.After leaving the Zhuang Palace, Li Ran walked slowly, his steps were heavy and his heart was extremely heavy.
Apparently, Wang Zichao was becoming less and less able to listen to his words, and he was completely different from before.
Facts have proved that if a person gains power, the most difficult hurdle is still himself.
The same is true for King Ling of Chu, and it is also true for Wang Zichao.
Li Ran knew very well that if Wang Zichao insisted on going his own way again, it would be extremely bad in the future.
What happened to King Ling of Chu was vivid in his mind, the vast palace, Li Ran looked around, and remembered every detail of how he and Prince Jin played and studied here since they were young.
Li Ran clenched his fist.
"Kuang Fu Zhou's family...what's the point of being wronged?"
When Li Ran returned to the official residence, he thought that after a while, he would be able to pick up Ji Le and live in Luoyi, but since the situation is still unclear, and he didn't want Ji Le to be in danger, he had to postpone this. idea.
While Sun Wu was away, he didn't know about the changes in Luoyi City.He still led the army to fight all the way, triumphantly, and conquered Xiayi and Xingyi one after another.
After this period of battle, the entire land of Wang Ji was almost completely under the control of Wang Zichao.
When Li Ran heard the news, he was not only happy for Sun Wu, but also worried.
