Chapter 548: The King of Qin is called emperor

The number one emperor originated from Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng. When Ying Zheng relied on his strong national strength, he fought for the six generations of reigns, swept the six kings, and unified them. He realized that his merit was over the three emperors and virtue was superior to the five emperors. Not to mention the title of kings, even the title of emperor was not worthy of himself. Therefore, he created the term emperor as his honorary title and called himself Qin Shihuang. Later generations called him second generations, and passed down for three generations for thousands of generations. However, Qin Shihuang never expected that his Great Qin Empire was only passed down for the second generation, and lasted for only fifteen years. Less than five years after his death, the Great Qin Empire collapsed.

Since ancient times, only two people have used the title of emperor, one is the founder of Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng, and the other is the second generation of Qin, Ying Hu Hai. Many people say that the Qin Empire has been passed down for three generations and there is also Ziying. However, after Ziying killed Zhao Gao, he abolished the emperor's title and restored the title of King of Qin, so he is not an emperor, so only two people can be honored as emperor from beginning to end.

After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, there was another person who was also called emperor, that was the communist emperor of the world at that time. However, the status of the communist ruler of the world was self-evident. Later, he was assassinated by Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu.

Since then, although many kings have appeared in the world, no emperor has appeared again, and Emperor No. 1 has become a legend. Now the King of Qin wants to be called emperor, which makes Deng Sheng and others not shocked.

Deng Sheng had thought about becoming the emperor, but Deng Sheng felt that only the lord who unified the world had this qualification, otherwise what was the difference between it and a grass-headed king? But he didn't expect that Deng, the most powerful country in the world, did not call him emperor. Zhao, the former overlord of the world, did not call him emperor. Instead, Qin, whose strength has been repeatedly weakened, would be called emperor.

Originally, the number one emperor came from the ancestors of Qin, and it was understandable that he inherited this title as descendants of later generations, but as we all know, the emperor is more respectful than the king. Now that you, the King of Qin, is the emperor, how can the situation of Deng and Zhao be sympathetic?

"Yao Qing, is the news true?" Deng Sheng suppressed the shock in his heart and asked Yao Guangxiao, he wanted to confirm the authenticity of the news.

Yao Guangxiao nodded and said, "It's true. This news was bought by Chang'an Mingjing to find out many important officials of Qin. It's not fake. Moreover, the Qin court has already started to prepare. It is reported that on the day of the ascension, the King of Qin will enthrone the royal family and the ministers, and the whole world will celebrate together."

That's not fake. The Qin State was so infuriating that it was impossible to produce fake news, otherwise it would be a huge blow to the Qin people.

"Now the three kingdoms of Deng, Zhao and Qin are in harmony. Qin is the weakest, and the land they occupy is only Guanzhong and Xiliang. Not to mention that it is compared with the Great Qin Empire that swept Liuhe, even the Qin Kingdom was far inferior to the Qin Kingdom when Qin Shihuang ascended the throne. Where did the Qin King get the confidence to be called emperor? Isn't Qin King afraid that my Great Deng and Zhao Kingdom will attack him?" Jiang Wan asked in confusion. Qin's strength is the weakest of the Three Kingdoms and the smallest territory. If you rashly call him emperor, aren't you afraid that Deng and Zhao Kingdom will attack him?

Yao Guangxiao replied: "It is reported that there are two reasons why the King of Qin chose to be the emperor at this time. One is that my Da Deng and Zhao fought in the Central Plains. If there is no victory or defeat, it is impossible for each other to cease. Even if the King of Qin is the emperor at this time, we will not stop the Central Plains War to deal with Qin."

When everyone heard this, they nodded repeatedly. This is a fact. Now Deng and Zhao have placed more than 60% of the troops in the country in the Central Plains to fight to the death. Not to mention that the King of Qin is called emperor, even if there is an opportunity for Qin to take advantage of the chaos in Qin, Deng and Zhao will not stop. After all, this is a war related to the belonging of the world, and it is not possible to stop just by saying that the King of Qin has seized a very good opportunity.

"The second is that the King of Qin wanted to establish his prestige in Qin by the fact that he became emperor. As we all know, after the King of Qin ascended the throne, he was controlled by the five auxiliary ministers everywhere. Before the war in the Central Plains, the King of Qin summoned the five auxiliary ministers to wait for an opportunity to act when our army fought fiercely with the Zhao army, but was stopped by the five auxiliary ministers. Since he could not establish prestige through war, then becoming emperor is undoubtedly the best choice." Yao Guangxiao said.

After hearing this, everyone finally understood the intention of the King of Qin. It seems that the Qin country is not a solid piece. After the King of Qin becomes emperor, he will definitely challenge the prestige of the five auxiliary ministers in large numbers. If it cannot be properly handled, an internal strife will inevitably be absent.

"King, I wonder what the king had plans for the King of Qin to call him emperor?" At this time, Cui Hao stepped out of the line and asked Deng Sheng.

As soon as Cui Hao said this, everyone turned their attention to Deng Sheng. Whoever is most qualified to be the emperor in the world is undoubtedly the king of the world's most powerful country. Now the King of Qin is going to be the emperor, so everyone wants to know what Deng Sheng is thinking.

"No need to pay attention to it. Now, for me, Deng, the most important thing is to win the Battle of the Central Plains. As long as Zhao is destroyed, Qin will be just a mantis arm to chariots. At that time, the world is in hand, and this emperor will be truly legitimate." Deng Sheng also knew what these ministers thought. They all wanted to be emperors themselves. Not only would they go further, but they could even be promoted. However, Deng Sheng felt that it was not the time. When the world was unified, this emperor would be the real emperor.

But Deng Sheng thought so, but Cui Hao and others didn't think so. Zhang Bin came out and said, "The king is so bad. The matter of calling the emperor is not just a simple matter of changing the title of honor. After the King of Qin is called the emperor, I believe that King Zhao will be unwilling to be inferior to others. Once the King of Qin and King of Zhao are called emperors one after another, if the King of Zhao is still the title of king, then my great Deng will be inferior to Qin and Zhao in the future. Although strength is the most important, sometimes the title is also very important."

After hearing this, Deng Sheng scolded and said that he had never thought about this issue. I have to say that Zhang Bin said it very reasonably. If the King of Qin and King Zhao were both emperors and he was still the same king, he would have lost in the righteousness, which would also be a big blow to Deng's morale. Deng Sheng was immediately moved. After all, who would not want to have the title of emperor?

However, Deng Sheng still flatly refused, saying that the time was up to the emperor, but the time was not yet up. To put it bluntly, at least Deng Sheng could not agree casually, so he said, "I have my own opinions on this matter, and there is no need to say much. Today's discussion is over. Let's all be disbanded!" After that, he took Deng Hao away from Jingtai Palace.

On the way, Deng Hao still couldn't help but feel curious and asked Deng Sheng: "Father, I say that the emperor is good for Deng, why doesn't my father agree?"

When the ministers persuaded him to advance, Deng Hao was very excited. Although he was still a crown prince after Deng Sheng became emperor, there was no change in fact, but there was a big difference here. Can an emperor's heir and a king's heir be the same?

Deng Sheng smiled and said, "Hao'er, can't your father see what you can see? Of course, the father knows the benefits of calling the emperor to Deng, but he can't agree so casually, otherwise in the eyes of the world, the father is just a person who is ignorant of humility."

"My son understands, my father said he wanted to ask for three requests and say 3 words!" Deng Hao suddenly realized.

Deng Sheng nodded understandingly and said, "It's good to understand. Although it's what everyone wants, you have to make a list. Just walk alone. You go to Yang Palace to handle government affairs." After that, he walked away.

On the other hand, the people who had just left Jingtai Hall gathered at the Secretariat's Office.

"Sir, why do the king disagree to call him emperor? Even I, a martial artist, understands the benefits of calling him emperor to me. There is no reason why the king is not clear about it?" Deng Ai asked everyone. In Deng Ai's opinion, the benefits of calling him emperor are self-evident. I can understand this truth myself, but there is no reason why Deng Sheng can't see it.

"Of course I know it!" Cui Hao smiled and said, "Actually, the king also knows that it is imperative to call the emperor, but it cannot be accepted so easily."

"Why is this?" Deng Ai still didn't understand.

"General Deng doesn't understand this. Zhou Li said: The five accumulations of the kingdom, three questions, all three words, and all are banished. They are banished again. Three words, three bows, three bows, climbs, worships, and sends. When the guest stops, accumulates, asks, and asks, and practices. The courtesy is all made to the ministers and officials, from the beginning to the end, and counts this. Three words, say they are banished from outside. If they do not say they are banished, they are accepted by the court. The king is banished, three words, the car is reversed, and humiliated, three bows and three words, worships, accepts, car is sent, and three returns, and then bows and three words. In this way, three requests and three words can show humility and be supported by the people. Therefore, if you want the king to agree, you must invite three times. Today is a request, and if you come twice, the king will naturally agree." Zhang Bin said on the side.

"You literati are so troublesome. I want me to say that the king deserves to call the emperor, and he just ascends to the throne directly. I want to see who dares to talk nonsense." Chang Yuchun said disdainfully.

Everyone was speechless about Chang Yuchun and other hob meat. Jiang Wan, a good relationship with Chang Yuchun, said to him: "General Chang, you can only show your humility after asking for three requests and sayings. Only in this way can you prove that the king deserves it. Don't worry, saying that the emperor's affairs are the trend of the general trend. Three requests and sayings are just a delay of some time and cannot affect the overall situation."

Chang Yuchun and Jiang Wan both came from Deng Shengqian’s residence and were Deng Sheng’s first subordinates, so Chang Yuchun still listened to Jiang Wan’s words, so he stopped talking.

"Then when will Cui Xiang think we persuade us to come forward?" Yao Guangxiao asked Cui Hao. As the leader of all officials, this matter is best for Cui Hao to type.

Cui Hao thought for a while and said, "This matter is not urgent. After all, since Qin II, there has never been an emperor in the world, so we cannot be the first to do it. It is better to let the King of Qin be called emperor first. When the news of the King of Qin be called emperor comes, we will invite him again."

Everyone felt it was reasonable when they heard this. After all, the first person was shot and the first person simply let the King of Qin do it first.

Sure enough, in the next period of time, everyone thought nothing had happened, and no one mentioned this again, until the news that the King of Qin was called emperor came.

In the 28th year of Qianyuan, on the first day of the first lunar month, after worshiping the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, King Ying Zhuang of Qin, and called himself the emperor in the Tai'a Palace of Chang'an with the support of his ministers, and claimed to be the 19th generation of Qin (Ying Zhuang was the 17th king of Qin, plus Qin Shihuang and Qin II, it happened to be the 19th generation of Qin Ziying. As for Qin Ziying, Ying Zhuang did not admit it. After all, he was the only surrendered king in the Qin Dynasty in history), inheriting Qin Shihuang II and passing on the slogan of the three generations.

When the King of Qin was called emperor, the world was shocked. Unexpectedly, more than two hundred years later, Emperor No. 1 would appear again. After the King of Qin was called emperor, all his eyes gathered in Wancheng and Jinyang.
