When Li Xinchen arrived in Shu County, the second invitation had already finished.
Xiao Shilian, Pei Zilie, Chen Zhishen, Du Qi, Dai Cai and other generals sent representatives respectively. Cao Zhong, who went all the way north to the northwest, directly met with Li Xingchen at Mianzhu Pass, handed over his invitation form, and also represented the other guards.
The generals who had no way to come to the border expressed their feelings.
Of course, Li Xingchen still hesitated and chose to refuse this time.
When Li Xingchen arrived in Shu County, the third invitation came naturally. Logically speaking, the third invitation should be relatives of the emperor and former emperors who were related to Li Xingchen, and important ministers, but obviously Li Xingchen did not have the qualifications here at all.
For such a person, he is alone and has only one sister, so naturally he is not worthy enough.
Therefore, Tang Yishun, who was in charge of this matter, had an idea and directly changed this link to ordinary people and elders, symbolizing all the people. Naturally, the people of Bashu would not refuse this. Although Li Xingchen entered Shu for a short time, what did he do?
It's all in sight.
Not only did Li Xingchen himself fight abroad and lead the war out of Bashu, he also reduced taxes internally, divided the fields, encouraged farming, rectified official administration, and built water conservancy and roads. These actions were seen by everyone, not to mention Li Xingchen's strict military management.
, coupled with the title of ever-victorious general, many Bashu children enthusiastically joined the army, so conflicts between the local army and the people rarely occurred. Instead, they were rural soldiers. The recruits were often organized to help the people farm and build houses, and a group of soldiers and civilians
Fish and water, happy and harmonious.
In this era, as long as the large-scale soldiers do not disturb the people and do not burn, kill, and loot, they are actually considered a well-disciplined army. Therefore, it is really rare for an army like this to even actively help people with farming.
Of course, in order to enable these soldiers to take the initiative to do this, Li Xingchen also instilled ideas into them. Of course, Li Xingchen did not naively expect them to understand the concept of military and civilian family. After all, some advanced ideas were not suitable.
In this era, otherwise the effect achieved may be counterproductive.
Therefore, Li Xingchen simply told these soldiers, who were mainly locals, that when they helped these people, their families were also being helped by other soldiers in other places. At the same time, helping cultivate land at this time was also a solution to the problem that Bashu had too much land but not enough manpower.
The problem is also to provide food for the army.
Encouraged by such double reasons, these soldiers could not help but be lazy.
For Li Xingchen, this is not without purpose. On the one hand, it can stabilize the internal affairs of Bashu, and on the other hand, it can naturally establish a positive image of the army and attract more soldiers. At the same time, it can also solve the army's food problem. How can
Happy but not doing anything.
Of course, if such a policy continues to be promulgated, Li Xingchen will gain more support from the people. When Li Xingchen appears on the outskirts of Shu County, the people of the whole city will come out in full force. The welcome to the suburbs will make their lives very different from before.
General, the future His Highness the King of Han.
Before Li Xingchen reached the Ten Mile Pavilion, he saw a few old men walking out of the crowd tremblingly. He quickly got off his horse and walked up to meet them.
In this troubled world, all the people who can live to this age are celebrities. Li Xingchen must not care about it, not to mention that he already knew what would happen before this.
"I see you, General!" Several old people saluted together. For them, it might be a pleasure to see Li Xingchen ascend the throne in their lifetime, and then ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.
This troubled world has been in chaos for too long, and finally a young talent has emerged, who may be able to end these three hundred years of inhumanity!
Li Xingchen hurriedly stepped forward to help: "Old people, please get up. Shizhong is young and cannot afford such courtesy from you."
The old man who took the lead couldn't help but interrupt Li Xingchen: "What the general said is wrong. I want to ask who else in the world can bring such a peaceful and peaceful life to the people of Bashu in just a few years? What the general did should be regarded as a blessing to Bashu."
King, today, on behalf of the people of Bashu, the young man and others are asking the general to assume the position of King of Han!"
"General, please take the throne of the King of Han!" When the old man finished speaking, the people who had been waiting for a long time knelt down almost simultaneously. The crowd fell to the ground like waves of wheat blown by the wind. At the same time, the personal guards guarding Li Xingchen also followed.
Kneel down on one knee and salute.
"General, please take the position of King of Han!" Tang Yishun and other accompanying officials, as well as local officials such as Tang Zhengliang, also shouted.
"General, please take the position of King of Han!" I don't know how many people were shouting. Although this scene was not rehearsed, the sound was uniform and shocking.
Li Xinchen took a long breath, raised his head and looked forward. From here to the Shili Changting Pavilion, and then to the city of Shu County in the distance, countless people were shouting in the mountains. The power of this belief was conveyed to Li Xinchen, and only the remaining
Shocked.
After going through many hardships, he has finally reached this point. The day he becomes king means that he declares his independence, and is only one step away from becoming emperor.
In the carriage behind Li Xinchen, Xiao Xiang and Yuchi Chifan subconsciously glanced at each other and gently held each other's hands. For them, Li Xinchen becoming king may mean that they will spend more time in Shu County in the future.
He would spend more time with them. As for the title of the princess, in fact, women of noble birth such as Xiao Xiang and Yuchi Chifan didn't care. What they cared about was whether Li Xingchen could accompany them.
At this time, Tang Yishun and other officials were also keeping an eye on Li Xinchen. If Li Xinchen became king, then the Xiajiang Tang family and other aristocratic families would completely rise to prominence!
"General, please take the position of King of Han!" came another mountain cry.
Li Xingchen flicked his sleeves and strode forward. He first helped a few old people up, then jumped on the shaft of the carriage, drew out his sword, and shouted loudly: "You are so kind, but Li is so disrespectful. Today, when I ascend the throne as King of Han, I must treat him with kindness."
It is my duty to protect all people and give you a bright future!"
"Congratulations to the King of Han!" Countless people shouted at the same time.
The sound rose and then slowly subsided again.
"Long live the King of Han!" Tang Yishun seized the opportunity, stood up and shouted loudly.
"Long live the King of Han!" This time everyone cheered again.
Li Xingchen jumped off the carriage, looked at the shouting people, and took a long breath.
This step has finally been taken, but the road ahead may not be as easy as I imagined. It is easier said than done to create peace for all generations!
"Your Highness, please move to the altar!" Tang Yishun said in a long voice. The third invitation has been successfully completed. The link that worried him the most was completed very smoothly, even beyond imagination. In the final analysis, it was because of what Li Xingchen said just now and the people's answers.
, these are all words from the bottom of my heart!
Even if there is no arrangement, is this not the voice of the people?
They don't need violence, they long for peace, so they need Li Xingchen to be the king who protects them. (To be continued)
