101. You should inherit the destiny and become the emperor!
After discussing how to deal with Princess Anren in the Heavenly Palace, Gong Yangyi, Xu Xing, Kun Heavenly King Chang Kun and others began to persuade Xu Xing to establish himself as emperor and establish a new dynasty.
After the leading civil and military officials expressed their willingness, the remaining middle- and lower-level generals also began to "persuade".
"King of Heaven..."
"Emperor Chongming is dead..."
"Now the world is leaderless..."
"If the king of heaven does not proclaim himself emperor, will he be disappointed by the public's expectations?"
The rebel generals said one sentence at a time.
As long as Xu Xing goes one step further and becomes the emperor, these close confidants will follow the chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven, and one by one they will be granted titles and official positions, and enjoy the merit of following the dragon.
Since ancient times, apart from the merit of rescuing a driver, the merit of following the dragon is the most valuable.
"My king... has little virtue but little deeds. Today I have the honor to work with you all to pursue a great cause. I am extremely lucky. As for the throne, I came to Shenjing to understand the people's insecurities. It is not right..."
Xu Xing's hypocritical humility.
The generals tried to persuade him to come in, but he couldn't agree immediately.
It seemed that he was too eager and lost his manners.
At least you have to go through the process of three resignations and three concessions first.
"Ming Gong..."
"This is a petition umbrella for the people of Shenjing, as well as a memorial for the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to enthrone Duke Ming..."
"My lordship must not let the people down."
Gong Yangyi clapped his hands, and the servants of Tianwang Mansion brought in a Wanmin umbrella and a large basket from outside. Inside the basket was a basket full of memorials.
These are all things Xu Xing hinted he had prepared in advance.
Since the 13th day after Shenjing was conquered, Siming Mountain has been creating an atmosphere of public opinion for Xu Xing to ascend the throne...
There is a big difference between hastily ascending the throne and preparing to ascend the throne.
It seems to be superficial, but if you don't even do superficial things, you will be despised by officials and local princes, thinking that Siming Mountain is just a piece of grass-head king, a pioneer for the king.
In other words….
Tens of thousands of people petitioned, made three concessions and three concessions... This was a political battle fought in Siming Mountain.
It is intended to tell people all over the world that although Siming Mountain is a rebel army, it is not some grass-headed king who does not know how to build.
After this point spreads throughout the world, it will be much easier to rule and conquer Siming Mountain in the future, and it will gain support from local forces instead of resistance.
Before today, Xu Xing had already given in three times.
This is the last time.
"Ming Gong..."
"This is the "Book of Encouragement" written by a Taoist scholar from Jiaonan to Mr. Ming."
While talking, Gong Yangyi took out a silk book from his sleeve and read:
"Since my Lord came to the throne, the unicorn has been born, the phoenix has come to the ceremony, the yellow dragon has appeared, the golden crops have grown, and the nectar has fallen. This is a symbol of auspiciousness in the world, and the image of the emperor's star strengthening its position."
"There is a prophecy in the land of Kyushu: "The destiny of heaven is in the four, not in the one."
"Is this not the ranking of my lord's camp?"
"Another prophecy says: "At the end of the Chongming Dynasty, King Ming came to the world and the Siming Mountain merged with the two Ming Dynasties."
"Is this not my Lord's destiny?"
"Your Majesty has a majestic and majestic figure... Today, the people of heaven and earth are united to build an empire... Our lord is a wise and holy warrior, the leader of hundreds of millions of people who have returned to their hearts. Fu Wei admires the emperor's scroll, obeys the public opinion, and ascends to the great treasure."
But Si Mu is born in a group of people, he acts as the supreme master and manages the world."
"You only show great gifts and enjoy the blessings of all nations to uphold the destiny of heaven. Why bother to be diligent and make small concessions?"
"You don't understand the general idea, so you dare to rely on old stories."
One sentence was read from Gongyang Yi's mouth.
Although everyone present had long known that the "Book of Encouragement" was drafted by Gong Yangyi himself, and was not the work of any Jiaonan Taoist scholar. The false entrustment to Jiaonan Taoist scholars was just to prove that King Xingtian's heart had reached the frontier...
but--
These two prophecies seemed extremely credible to them.
Let’s not talk about the prophecy said by Yao Dang, the king of mourning heaven, that “the destiny of heaven lies in four, not in one”.
The later "At the end of Chongming, King Ming came to the world and the Siming Mountain united the two Ming Dynasties" seems to be really the case. Chongming means "Chongming", which means double Ming Dynasty. The Siming Mountain in the back is also the united two Ming Dynasties...
….
The two prophecies echo each other.
Not one, but four.
It’s not the “one” that is Emperor Chongming, it’s the “four” that is King Xingtian!
…
hiss!
The Simingshan civil and military officials present took a breath of air.
It seems, it seems...
Their King of Punishments has truly received his destiny from the underworld.
The prophecy said this, and it was also the same in the past when praying for rain on the Kansai Road. King Xingtian gave a command, and the rain fell and the rain stopped. The immortals behind came to stab him, and there were also otherworldly masters such as the gray-robed old monk who personally protected him...
"We will ask the King of Heaven to abide by the destiny and ascend the throne as emperor!"
"We will ask the King of Heaven to abide by the destiny and ascend the throne as emperor!"
"I'll invite the King of Heaven..."
The civil and military officials of Siming Mountain knelt on the ground obediently and shouted three times for Xu Xing to ascend the throne.
"Come on! Come on! Come on!"
"This king... is willing to comply with the people's request and ascend the throne as emperor..."
Xu Xing slumped down on the main seat with a "helpless" look on his face and sighed several times in succession.
"Ming Gong..."
“I don’t know how to choose the name of our country?”
Gongyang Yi then asked.
"Do you have any suggestions?"
Xu Xing hesitated for a moment.
In a corner of the destiny deduction, he established the country's name as Da Zhou.
The reason why he chose this country name is that he missed his hometown in his previous life, and the Zhou Dynasty worshiped etiquette and rituals, so that he could always be wary of himself and remember to "follow the rules". The ordinary world is just a corner of the world. The real vast world is where immortals exist.
In the world of immortality, one cannot be too reckless and waste one's life...
"How about... calling it Siming Country?"
"The country's name is Ming Dynasty?"
"Ming Gong is the descendant of King Ming, and he is also the fourth heavenly king of Siming Mountain, which matches the word "Ming"..."
Gong Yangyi shook his feather fan and expressed his inner thoughts.
"this……"
Xu Xing pondered for a while, then shook his head, "It's inappropriate to use a clear word. Emperor Chongming has a clear word. If he emphasizes it, it may not be good."
However, after saying this, he did not give any specific suggestions.
Anyway, there is no need to rush this short period of time to establish the national title.
…
Just when the civil and military officials of Siming Mountain, together with the officials of the previous dynasty, were intensively preparing for the establishment of King Xingtian and proclaiming himself emperor, Princess Anren Song Ainao, who lived in the Zhenbei Palace, could not sit still.
She is the princess of a subjugated country. Although she doesn't think that her royal bloodline can still have any dignity in this world. But it doesn't mean that after she enters the divine capital, Xu Xing can't even say a word to her...
"What?"
"King Xingtian wants to send me and the parents of King Zhenbei back?"
After Song Yasuo heard the news that the maid had inquired from the main hall of the mansion, she sat blankly on the round table next to the dressing table, looking at herself in the mirror, stunned.
In the past, she was a precious princess in the hands of Emperor Chongming. He was afraid of falling off when holding it in his hand, and was afraid of melting when he held it in his mouth. He could ask for anything he wanted from her.
Now that Fengxi Kingdom has been destroyed, she has fallen from the heavenly palace to earth.
Her husband's family was rude to her and asked her to die...
King Xing Tian of Shenjing did not even look at her...
"A trick of fate..."
Song Yuyao sighed.
She glanced at the bronze mirror and began to carefully wipe off her makeup with a silk cloth.
Before coming to Shenjing, she had planned to seduce Xu Xing with her beauty... As long as it was heard from Shenjing that King Xingtian had slighted her, King Zhenbei would not tolerate such a shame and humiliation. Maybe she would have a chance to take revenge by then.
.
It's a pity that she can't even get close to the king.
A few tears rolled down the cheeks and wet the skirt of the clothes...
"Princess……"
"The old man calls you to leave quickly, don't waste time."
At this moment, the female officer pushed open the door and shouted loudly.
"I..., I understand."
Song Yasuo wiped away her tears, pursed her lips, and followed the female officer away, not caring at all about the disrespect the female officer had shown her just now.
