Chapter 238 Peace
"No!" Shang Rui suddenly became anxious and said angrily:
"The kings and princes in the world must be granted the title by the empire! He, Qin, dares to be king, that is, to be independent! I don't agree!"
He was right, just like the monarchs of the eight powerful countries, their ancestors were also granted by the emperor, and they were legitimate hereditary titles. However, as the imperial power gradually weakened, the nations began to compete for hegemony, and have evolved to this day, forming a pattern of division of mountains and rivers.
But Shang Rui is still the emperor after all, and he is the king of the world. He always has an imperial flag in his hand.
However, when Dong Hua heard this, he said in a little embarrassed manner: "But Your Majesty, it is a foregone conclusion that the Lord of Qin will be called king. If Your Majesty refuses, I am afraid... I am afraid that the Lord of Qin will be angry and embarrassed."
"This, there can be no more kings in the world! At worst, I, I will only give him the title of Qin Hou!" Shang Rui became even more anxious, but he also understood that Xiao Yuan was no longer the same as before. While speaking, he subconsciously looked at Lu Bolin.
Seeing this, the latter couldn't help swallowing. Now, the four countries can't destroy Qin, and even Shanyuguan cannot be defeated. Although the empire still has some troops, can Lu Bolin fight with the Qin army? How could he have the courage?
The current imperial court, without Zhong Bai, can be said to be a kind of corruption!
In the past, when Zhong Bai was there, with his military talent, if there were any princes who were not ministers, Zhong Bai would definitely be the first to stand up and fight! But now, if a war really happens, I am afraid that any country will destroy the emperor, but no one dares to take the blame for the world.
"Your Majesty, the Qin army is brave and good at fighting, and is enough to be called a tiger and wolf. If the empire decides to be independent, it will definitely send troops to attack him. If it attacks, it is afraid... it will be difficult to defeat the Qin army. On the contrary, it is very likely that it will cause wars. I hope Your Majesty will think twice..." Lu Bolin stuttered.
"Then...what do you mean?" Shang Rui lost his mind again.
Lu Bolin said: "It is better to go with the flow than this. Now, the situation in the world is turbulent and turbulent. Qin is the main king. Let him praise him. It is really not advisable to intervene too much in the empire."
As soon as he finished speaking, many imperial ministers stood up and echoed:
"Yes, Your Majesty, things have come to this point. If the Qin army is incurred, the empire will be in danger..."
"If the nations compete for hegemony, the Qin Lord wants to participate, he will sooner or later die. Your Majesty can just watch it on the wall. There is no need to offend him again..."
In the past, anyone who looked down on Qin and Xiao Yuan, but now, with the Qin army defeating the four-nation coalition forces, it is known to the world.
Looking at this scene, Shang Rui widened his eyes and then said blankly: "There is another king in the world..."
At this time, the love concubine began to say beside her: "Your Majesty, the Qin Lord Xiao Yuan and the rebel Zhong Bai have long been unjustly brothers. Your Majesty must not allow him to be the King of Qin."
"I don't want to do it either, but my beloved concubine, I, do I have any solutions..." Shang Rui said with a sad face.
On the other hand, since the four countries attacked Qin, the King of Jin could not let go of Guangling and began to send envoys to Liang again. In this matter, the two countries began to deal with each other for a long time.
On the one hand, King Liang made perfunctory excuses, but refused to return to Guangling. On the other hand, he also sent minister Cai Yan to secretly enter Qin and meet Xiao Yuan.
With the combat power of the Liang army and the national strength of the Liang Kingdom, if you really want to fight a big battle with the Jin Kingdom, the Liang King is actually not afraid, but if you can attract an ally, it would be better.
Cai Yan entered Qin to prepare for any trouble. When he learned about his arrival, Liu Yuzhi represented Xiao Yuan to greet him. The two met. They first politely greeted each other. The next morning, Liu Yuzhi led him to Xiao Yuan's study.
On the way, the two of them were chatting while walking. Cai Yan said with a smile: "The Qin Lord is mostly responsible for the military and national affairs of Qin, and the people's livelihood and internal affairs. According to this point, after the Qin Lord ascended the throne, the Qin Prime Minister will be the one who belongs to you."
"Hey? Lord Cai should not talk nonsense about this matter. I am a place where Qin is full of talents, and I don't know how many talents there are. It's not the right position of Prime Minister." Liu Yuzhi said hurriedly.
"Mr. Liu is too humble." Cai Yang said with a smile.
As the two of them were talking, they also came outside the study. Outside the door, Xu Hu was wearing a sword on his waist and was tall, like a door god. After arriving here, Liu Yuzhi asked directly: "Can you be here?"
"Here, Lord Liu, I'll report it now." Xu Hu was still very polite to Liu Yuzhi.
"It's time for the general." The latter also bowed.
Soon, Xiao Yuan signaled that the two entered the study.
After walking a few steps forward, Cai Yan faced Xiao Yuan, bowed his hand and bowed deeply, saying, "Cai Yan, the envoy of Liang, has met the Lord of Qin."
His etiquette was quite good. When Xiao Yuan heard this, he smiled heartily and waved his hand and said, "Mr. Cai doesn't have to be too polite. He is busy with business and has not been able to greet him. I'm really sorry."
"Where is there, the Qin Lord is getting rid of evil." Cai Yan said hurriedly, and then he began to represent King Liang and bring his relationship closer to Xiao Yuan, saying that Qin Liang is friendly.
As he spoke, he also brought the topic to the attack on Qin in the Four Kingdoms:
"As we all know, the four countries in the previous attack on Qin was the plan of the King of Jin. When the fierce battle was in full swing, if the Liang army suddenly joined the war, I am afraid that the coalition forces of the four countries would not withdraw easily. Then, how long will the hard battle of Qin last."
As for the entire battle situation, the Liang army did play some role, but the purpose of Liang State was not to help Qin, but to Guangling.
If King Jin did not increase troops to Shanyuguan, and if the Qin army could not resist, King Liang would not dare to act rashly.
Whatever helps Qin is just Cai Yan is just giving his face.
After hearing this, Xiao Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Cai is right, but if I had no Qin army, I would have restrained a large number of troops from the Jin army in front of Shanyuguan. How could King Liang seek Guangling?"
"Haha, this." Cai Yan laughed dryly, with some words, but he immediately turned his eyes and said, "Yes, what Lord Qin said is extremely true. Because of this, I, Wang, is willing to make friendship with Qin Yong. In this way, for both sides, it is the real benefit..."
"Of course, King Liang wants to make a good relationship with Qin, so Qin is naturally happy." Xiao Yuandao.
The purpose of Cai Yan's trip was to worry that if Jin State did not return to Guangling, a war would break out in Jinliang, and he wanted to win over Xiao Yuan before the war.
Xiao Yuan knew this very well. On the surface, he did not easily promise Liang Guo anything, but avoided the important things in words. If Jin attacked Liang, the Qin army would move, but when it would move, it would be different.
Perhaps it was when Jin State's troops were heavily restrained by the Liang army.
But Cai Yan was already very satisfied with what he could say. Next, the two talked again, and then Xiao Yuan held a banquet, entertained Cai Yan with kindness, and arranged for him to rest in the inn.
Two more days later, Cai Yan began to say goodbye and returned to Liangguo with satisfaction.
However, Xiao Yuan did not think that Jin Liang would really start a war. The King of Jin should not dare to use troops lightly now.
The land of China and the Central Plains countries should be in a short period of peace, and Xiao Yuan will also work hard to govern and completely put administrative regions and agricultural education into daily life.
