Facing the powerful Xiang Ji, Lu and Su chose to compromise.
Although Xiang Ji's request was close to asking them to disband their own family, as Lu Su said, his descendants may not be as strong as him.
After all, blood is thicker than water, and the ties between clans will never be broken.
However, what the two of them did not expect was that this was just the first step for Xiang Yu to deal with the clan.
As ancient people, they had never heard of any imperial examination.
What Xiang Ji planned was to use the clans to manage his internal affairs while minimizing their influence.
Then slowly developed the imperial examination system.
At that time, the so-called clan monopoly will naturally be destroyed.
Naturally, the two people who were recently re-employed took office happily.
Taichang Qing of Bu Zhi is mainly responsible for all diplomatic and etiquette issues.
The founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China was naturally handed over to him to preside over, which also gave Mi Zhu a sense of relief who had been busy working on this matter before.
I'm just a speculative businessman. Your lord is treating me like a brick. You can move wherever you need...
Lu Su, who was promoted to the prime minister of Chu State, happily took office.
Prime Minister! This is really like one person being inferior to ten thousand people.
Although Xiang Ji kept the military and political affairs very separate, this was already a great favor to Lu Su.
As for whether the people below are convinced or not? Lu Su doesn't care. If you have any problems, go to the boss. This position of prime minister was given to me by the boss Xiang Ji, and I did not appoint it myself.
As for Xiang Ji? Who dares to express his dissatisfaction to him?
At the same time, Xiang Ji did not treat his old ministers who had been following him badly.
All the military generals were promoted to one level, and their titles with the character An were removed and changed to Zhen.
The four town generals are higher up, but they are titled generals.
Others, such as Liao Hua, Mi Fang and others, also received promotions.
Because he only occupies the land of two states now, Xiang Ji does not dare to rise to the highest rank of military general like a civilian official.
There are still many battles ahead.
Now, just like Yuan Shu did, what kind of general or great general is granted? How to do it in the future?
And Xiang Ji did not treat the veteran civil servants under Xiang Ji badly.
Jia Xu was promoted to Taiwei by Xiang Ji, and his position was equivalent to that of prime minister, and he was listed among the three Dukes.
Cui Yan was also promoted by two levels. After all, his ability was limited, and he only had a relationship with someone who was effective earlier.
As for Mi Zhu? Although this guy is the real one with great achievements in hard work, Xiang Ji did not give him any reward. He only gave him a promise that after he and Cai Wenji get married, he will make Mi Huan his concubine.
For Mi Zhu, this is probably more important than any other reward.
You must know that at that time, as a monarch, except for the queen, there were only four concubines who could actually be titled.
Now that his sister can take one of them, what else can he be dissatisfied with.
After a series of preparations.
Finally, the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China began.
Xiang Ji, who was standing on the altar, was doing the step-by-step enthronement ceremony according to Bu Zhao's instructions, and he was already cursing in his heart.
The ancients just had too many things to do. If you want to be king, just be king. Wouldn't it be better to set up a flag and shout a slogan?
This damn thing worships heaven, worships earth, and finally worships ancestors. What a joke.
Well, I'm just talking about the fact that Xiang Yu is my ancestor.
Xiang Yu has merged with me. I am worshiping myself.
But in this era, all these are rituals that must be experienced, otherwise it will be disrespectful to heaven and earth.
In order to allow his subordinates to sleep peacefully, Xiang Ji could only grit his teeth and endure.
"I declare that the Kingdom of Chu has been officially established, and I, Xiang Ji, am the King of Chu.
Once upon a time, my ancestors established Western Chu on this land. Before my ancestors, this land had been the ancient land of Chu for thousands of years, and you have been the people of Chu for generations.
Today, the State of Chu has been revived again. I, Xiang Ji, hereby declare that I will inherit the legacy of my ancestors and let the State of Chu stand erect in this world forever.
Let everyone in the world tremble when they hear the sound of my great Chu Erlang’s iron hoofs.”
Holding the Overlord Halberd and wearing the silver dragon armor, Xiang Ji stood on the high platform and announced to the ministers, people and the world below that the Chu Kingdom had once again revived.
"Long live the King of Chu! Long live the Overlord! Long live the Kingdom of Chu!"
Looking at Xiang Ji on the high platform and the large banner with the word "Chu" printed behind him, everyone in the audience burst into tears.
Chu State, what a familiar yet distant word?
When the Chu State was established, celebration was indispensable.
For celebrations, drinks are also essential, and Xiang Ji, who was bombarded by everyone, must also get drunk.
Looking at Xiang Ji who was sleeping soundly, Cai Wenji seemed to feel like she was still in a dream.
Once upon a time, I was just a widowed and unlucky person.
Once upon a time, I was almost robbed by the Huns and forced to leave my homeland forever.
once......
But now, not only does he have the strongest man in the world, but he also has an identity that makes women all over the world envious.
Xiang Ji has promised her that he will marry her after the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China.
Then, Cai Wenji naturally became the queen of Chu.
From now on, she will become the most noble woman and queen in the world.
Ten days later.
Xiang Ji felt that he was more exhausted these ten days than fighting for a day and night.
After continuous ceremonies, the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China finally came to an end.
All kinds of summons and celebration ceremonies are over.
But Xiang Ji's own miserable life did not end.
Looking at Cai Wenji in red makeup, Xiang Ji wanted to cry but had no tears.
Damn it, I’m just getting married, what about it? What about it? How about making it as grand as the founding ceremony of the People’s Republic of China?
Do you need to pay all kinds of sacrifices when you get married?
Did these ancient people have too few entertainment activities?
But there is no way, who wants to marry a wife by himself?
Looking at Cai Wenji with a happy face, and looking at Cai Yong who was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, what could Xiang Ji say?
Madam, no wonder there were so few divorces in ancient times. The marriage process is so cumbersome. I wouldn’t get divorced if it were me!
"Your Majesty, please have mercy~"
Finally, Xiang Ji and Cai Wenji returned to the back hall of the palace after working hard all day.
Looking at Cai Wenji who looked shy, Xiang Ji was happy.
We are an old married couple, okay? Are you still pretending to be innocent here with me?
But when this voice came from Cai Wenji’s mouth, why did it sound so awkward?
"Wenji, don't make me repeat it a third time.
Anytime, anywhere, regardless of status.
You will always be my Wen Ji, and I will always be your Xiang Lang!"
Looking at the domineering man in front of her, Cai Wenji burst into tears.
