Under Xiang Ji's tough attitude, the entire Xuyang and Yangzhous fell into a state of busyness.
Without it, Xiang Ji had already decided to formally declare independence and establish the Chu State.
Although this was not as good as Yuan Shu's immediate proclaim of emperor, it still caused a strong shock in the hearts of all the officials in the two states.
Jianguo! What does this mean? This means that Xiang Ji will officially restore the Chu State established by Xiang Yu, the former overlord of Western Chu.
When Xiang Ji becomes the king of Chu, what will he do to the subordinates who follow him?
You know, people like Tai Shi Ci, Yu Jin and others followed Xiang Ji all the way when he just started.
What is the purpose of being a soldier and fighting on the battlefield? Isn't it just that one day you can be named a marquis and a general to benefit your descendants?
Now, I'm afraid this opportunity has arrived.
Although all the generals knew that given the current situation, Xiang Ji would never give Yuan Shu the reward he wanted without paying for his official position.
However, this is enough. As long as the country is founded, the generals will have a goal to strive for and something to look forward to, right?
Compared with the excitement of the military attache group, the civilian side was much more chaotic.
For example, old people such as Jia Xu and Mi Zhu are naturally happy to see this happen.
After all, this is the purpose of following Xiang Ji.
But the middle and lower levels of the civil service system are in chaos.
Many civil servants who were relatively timid and cowardly opposed Xiang Ji's eagerness to found the country.
All the examples of Yuan Shu and Dong Zhuo are listed.
It seems that if Xiang Ji insists on going his own way, he will soon follow in their footsteps.
Finally, Xiang Ji, who was being harassed by those cowardly guys every day, finally couldn't bear it anymore. He raised his butcher knife and killed a few of the troublemakers. This was the only way to completely silence those guys.
Although this made Xiang Ji's image of cruelty and cruelty even more severe, he didn't care about Xiang Ji.
Scholars rebelled, but it took three years to succeed.
This sentence is not said for nothing.
Those guys who only rely on words, if you follow them, they will only give you a slap in the face.
Haven't you noticed that the really smart people don't have any opinions on this?
If you are dissatisfied with me, you can leave, just like Zhuge Xuan, Gu Yong and others.
I have no comments on this entry.
You know, Xiang Ji's spy system has been officially developed.
Although it will take time to infiltrate other princes, Xiang Ji still knows everything about what happened in his own territory.
Xiang Ji knew everything about the little moves of Zhuge Xuan and the others.
However, Xiang Ji did not stop them in any way.
Leave if you like. Sooner or later, you will come crying and beg me to take you in.
Regarding this, Xiang Ji is still very confident.
As for Zhuge Liang, the second son of the Zhuge Xuan family?
Haha, he is just a child of a few years old.
History has already changed. Without Liu Bei's three visits to the thatched cottage, would Zhuge Liang still be like history?
Xiang Ji was very suspicious of this.
Moreover, even if Zhuge Liang really helped someone, Xiang Ji would not be afraid of him.
In your history, Zhuge Liang did not help the Shu Kingdom to dominate. Could it be that with my Xiang Ji in this life, you can still turn the world upside down?
On the battlefield, no matter how unpredictable your strategy is, why don't you still have to fight with real swords and guns?
What's more, Xiang Ji never thought that Jia Xu was weaker than Zhuge Liang.
It's just that Xiang Ji was not surprised that Zhuge Xuan and his family went to Jingzhou, after all, this was the case in history.
But that Gu Yong made Xiang Ji more curious.
This was the prime minister of Soochow in history, and I don’t know who he served under in the end.
But these are the fun Xiang Ji finds for himself in his spare time, and he is not in the mood to think about them now.
As the date of the Restoration Ceremony approached, all the officials from urban and rural areas in Xuyang and Yangzhou gathered in Pengcheng. Although they were very reluctant, Xiang Ji still wanted to meet them one by one.
After all, these are all working for you, although most of them Xiang Ji himself cannot name these people.
Originally, Xiang Ji thought that he would be helpless before he ascended the throne, but he never thought that two people would appear in front of him just three days before the official announcement of the restoration of the country.
Looking at the two people kneeling down and bowing to him, Xiang Ji smiled playfully.
I thought you wouldn't come, but you really can bear it.
It turned out that it was Lu Su and Bu Zhi who took the lead.
"You two want to surrender to me?
What courage made you two come together? Haven't you heard about Zhang Hong?"
After Xiang Ji said this, the next two people didn't react at all, but Zhang Zhao, who was standing next to Xiang Ji, was embarrassed.
My lord, I have already poured out my heart and soul for you, old minister. Can you please just stop mentioning this matter?
Indeed, the impact of the previous events on Xiang Ji only added a few points to his reputation for brutality.
But this had a huge impact on Zhang Zhao.
If Xiang Ji can aspire to conquer the Central Plains in the future, then Zhang Zhao, as the minister of Conglong, will naturally have nothing to lose.
But for now, Zhang Zhao has indeed become the scum that all scholars are ashamed of.
That is to say, the civil servants who served under Xiang Ji were respectful to Zhang Zhao because of their status.
"General Xiang's words are wrong.
As the saying goes, this time, that time.
That Zhang Hong didn't understand the destiny and went to serve General Xiang at an inappropriate time, which would naturally lead to the annihilation of his clan."
Hearing what Lu Su said, Xiang Ji became interested.
These literati have a way of doing things.
If it is really white, it can be said to be black for you, and if it is black, it can be said to be white.
Seeing Xiang Ji's interested expression, Lu Su felt slightly relieved and continued to speak.
"Now General Xiang will soon regain the Chu Kingdom.
As the King of Chu, your vision will naturally be different from before.
Our so-called clan is just for future generations, and is actually no different from military commanders.
Moreover, the State of Chu was newly established, with many wastes waiting to be revitalized, and it was the time to hire people, so Lu Su believed that General Xiang would not treat us like Zhang Hong did."
After finally finishing all the words, Lu Su let out a sigh of relief.
It would be nonsense to say that he is not nervous. This person is a demon king. Who knows if he will be pushed out and beheaded by them if he is unhappy?
But in today's troubled times, it is impossible for the entire family to stay outdoors.
As natives of Jiangdong, the only option for Lu Su and others who did not want to migrate was Xiang Ji.
"Seeing as you didn't recall your clan members and choose to leave like Zhuge Xuan and others, I can use you.
Moreover, Lu Su, you can directly become the Prime Minister of Chu State, and as for Bu Zhao, you can also directly become my Taichang Qing.
However, all of your clan members who serve in the government must establish their own clans and cannot use their own clans to refer to themselves in the future."
