The ancestors of the Zhou people were descendants of Emperor Ku, the son of Emperor Ji Xuanyuan of Huangdi, and the Ji surname was also the largest surname among the descendants of Huangdi, so the Ji family regarded themselves as the direct descendant of Huangdi.

In addition to the Ji clan, the princes were also founding heroes of the Zhou Dynasty who were enfeoffed. Therefore, the rulers in power in various countries were often proud of their bloodlines, believing that they were born as royal nobles and that the common people were from Xialiba.

Now suddenly a direct descendant of the Yan Emperor Shennong family appeared, as if he was on par with the Zhou royal family, which immediately made the people at the bottom of the society happy. You Ji family are awesome, aren’t you born aristocrat? They are born with a noble family. The descendants of the Shennong family are now poor families, and they are the same class as our common people.

Ji Shubi and Ji Zhai, who were hiding behind and listening, were stunned when they heard this. Seeing Fang Li's eyes were different from before. Oh... This turned out to be a nouveau riche who was successful. It turned out that they were descendants of the Yan Emperor of Shennong. Everyone had the same bloodline, and no one was more noble than anyone else. It would be embarrassing to step on the horse!

Ji Shubi was the first to react. Xingyang is no longer surnamed Ji, so he should not just be disgusted and enter the city. He quickly seized the opportunity to abdicate the position of Duke to Fang Li.

"Ah... It turns out that General Bofu is a descendant of Emperor Yan, so he is really disrespectful!"

Ji Shubi bowed to Fang Li to the ground. He had been beaten and scolded before, and had been beaten to the ground to look for his teeth. Fang Li had also been stepped on by his feet, but he had never bowed to him from the bottom of his heart.

But this time, Ji Shubi took the initiative to bow to Fang Li. It was better to say that he worshiped Fang Li's life experience than to worship Fang Li's power. The bloodline of the descendants of Yan Emperor made Ji Shubi, the once noble monarch of Guo State, lower his noble head.

Fang Li smiled and returned the favor: "The Lord is so serious. Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang are both the ancestors of China and the ancestors of mankind. We are all descendants of Yan and Huang, and we should be respectful to both the ancestors of the two ancestors."

Ji Shubi cleared his throat, swept around everyone, and said loudly: "Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang are both the ancestors of mankind and have made great contributions to the people. Only then can the great people and the people of the world today.

The sage Tang Yao was reigned for 70 years. He managed floods, measured farm orders, formulated calendars, and benefited the people. Later, the sage was old and weak, and abdicated the throne to Shun. Emperor Shun abdicated in Yu when he was old, which was passed down to be a beautiful story for all ages.

General Fang Bofu was a descendant of Emperor Yan. He was wise and wise and kind. Although he was a commoner, he cared for the world. He was appointed as a general of the State of Yu as a guest, turning the tide when he was about to fall, supporting the building to fall, leading the coalition forces of Guo and Yu to repel the Jin invaders, restore the mountains and rivers, and protect the people.

General Bofu had a far-sighted vision and merged Guo and Yu into Tang, which greatly improved the national strength and the morale of the people.

However, the Jin enemy was determined to destroy me, and the princes were surrounded by them and were eyeing them covetously. Our Tang Dynasty still needed to work hard. Only General Bofu could lead the people and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to become stronger. Bi discussed with Ji Zhai and decided to abdicate the position of Duke of Tang to General Bofu, to defend the strong enemy outside and maintain the country inside."

After Ji Shubi finished speaking to everyone, he turned around and bowed to Fang Li again: "Please ask General Bofu to inherit the position of Duke Tang, to inherit the will of heaven, and to respond to the will of the people!"

"General Bofu, please agree to my request and Brother Shubi!" Ji Zhai quickly bowed to Ji Shubi. He could not have done all good people.

Zhou Yu, Zhao Yun, Chen Deng, Liu Ye, Xu Sheng and others all looked at each other and led everyone to bow and pray: "Please accept the will of heaven, respond to the people's hearts, and take over the position of Duke!"

Xun Yu felt a little sympathetic to Ji Shubi and Ji Zhai, and he couldn't bear it. He just bowed to Zhou Yu and others, but he didn't say anything.

When the soldiers behind and the people around him saw the formation, they all asked: "Please be the lord of our Tang Kingdom, to defend against strong enemies outside and safeguard the people inside!"

There were some loyal loyalists from Guo State who had originally attempted to lurk in secret, waiting for an opportunity to cause trouble and restore the rule of the Ji family over Guo State. Now, even Ji Shubi was surrendered and resisted a little yarn. He was like a deflated ball and no longer had the idea of ​​restoring the Guo State.

For a time, the mountains and seas in Xingyang City were thundering and roaring through the sky. Whether they knew Fang Li or didn't know them, they all shouted in a row, asking Fang Li to take over as the lord.

Everything can be repeated again and again. Fang Li has already given humility twice. If he continues to give humility, it will be a bit too much and artificial. Moreover, Dian Wei has now moved out of Fang Li's life experience, which has greatly increased Fang Li's confidence.

In addition, there are three or five days left to the New Year, one yuan begins, everything is renewed, and the road to ascending the throne has been completely paved. The weather, place and people are equal. When will it not ascend to the throne and become independent?

"All right!"

Fang Li rolled up his sleeves, solemnly agreed, and gave a gift to Ji Shubi, Ji Zhai, Zhou Yu, Zhao Yun and all the soldiers and the people, and said loudly: "Thank you the love of the lord, the praise of the soldiers, and the support of the people from the hometown, even though Fang Li is not talented, he is willing to sacrifice his life for the Tang Dynasty and shed blood! Lead the soldiers of the Tang Kingdom to compete for the world, so that the people of the Tang Dynasty can live a peaceful and prosperous era!"

"The lord is wise, the lord is Shenwu, and I wish to follow the lord's orders only, and I will go through fire and water for the Tang Dynasty, and I will never refuse even if I die!" Zhou Yu, Zhao Yun and other civil and military officials and soldiers of the three armies bowed together and called him.

The bustling people in the streets also echoed loudly: "Duke Tang is wise and Shenwu of the Tang Kingdom. I hope that Duke Tang will lead his soldiers to sweep the world and let the people of the Tang Dynasty enjoy peace forever!"

After the cheers of the people fell, Ji Shubi and Ji Zhai were distraught and bowed to each other, asking: "Duke Tang, we are both mediocre and incompetent, and we are unwilling to go to Xingyang again to touch on the past. Can we give us one and half positions and send us to Hanoi for peace?"

Fang Li was very satisfied with Ji Shubi's awareness of the current affairs. This guy performed well today and decided not to make things difficult for him anymore. He whispered: "The two Dukes followed the example of the ancestors and abdicated, and were admirable. Although Fang Li was Duke Tang, he dared not forget your kindness. Therefore... I decided to enthrone Ji Shubi as Duke Anle and Ji Zhai as Duke Anyi, let's go to Hanoi to enjoy happiness together!"

Ji Shubi and Ji Zhai were overjoyed. Although they were just a false reputation, they were still the Duke. They hurriedly bowed and thanked each other: "Thank you, Mr. Tang, for your kindness and virtue. I will never forget you!"

Since Ji Shubi and Ji Zhai are unwilling to stay in Xingyang again, Fang Li is not forced. After he ascended the throne today, these two people have lost their value and can completely withdraw from the stage of history.

At the moment, Fang Li summoned a lieutenant to come to him and ordered him to lead 500 soldiers to guard Ji Shubi and Ji Zhai to leave Xingyang, cross the Yellow River and go to Hanoi to settle down.

Ji Shubi and Ji Zhai were unwilling to stay for a moment, so they bowed to Fang Li and sat in the carriage and left at the fastest speed.

Today, Fang Li's position as Duke was completely established. Zhou Yu ordered the reward of the soldiers of the three armies to drink happily for three days, and celebrate together.

Fang Li's ascension to the throne was scheduled on the first day of January, and the items needed were handed over to Chen Deng to prepare. Fang Li repeatedly reminded him to keep everything simple and not to waste it too much.

Fang Li changed the palace that originally belonged to the Guo State Duke to "Tai Chi Palace" and named the main hall "Danfeng Palace". He accepted the congratulations from all civil and military officials here and officially ascended the throne of Duke Tang.

Five days later, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xingyang City was decorated with lights and red, hanging on green, and was full of joy.

The news that Fang Li accepted Ji Shubi and Ji Zhai's abdication and ascended the throne to become the Duke of Tang has been circulating on both sides of the Yellow River, and most of the people were happy and applauded.

Early this morning, Fang Li put on a brand new Duke's uniform and came to Danfeng Hall under the escort of Dianwei, Mapi, Cao Fei and others to receive worship and congratulations from all civil and military officials.

In the hall, the generals were led by Zhou Yu, and the downwards were Zhao Yun, Ma Dai, Ji Ling, Cao Xing, Xu Sheng, Liao Hua and others, and Zhang Liao and Yan Liang also returned from Chiyang and Jiangguan to worship each other, representing the soldiers on the front line to pay homage to the Xinguo Duke.

The civil officials were led by Xun Yu, and the downwards were Shen Pei, Gong Zhiqi, Chen Deng, Liu Ye and others who had just returned from Pinglu with Liao Hua, as well as other officials.

What made Fang Li most happy was that in addition to the civil and military affairs of the Tang Kingdom, there were envoys from two other countries coming to congratulate him. One was Han Fei, who was famous at home and abroad, and the other was Wu Qi, the lieutenant general of the Lu Kingdom. They all came to Xingyang City early this morning.

Before the throne ceremony was held, Chen Deng first introduced Han Fei to Fang Li, "This is the son of Han Fei, the son of the South Korean sage. The son of Tang and South Korea can form an alliance, and Han Fei will make a great contribution!"

"Han Fei pays homage to Duke Tang!" Han Fei bowed to Fang Li with a respectful attitude.

Fang Li hurriedly returned the greeting, thanked Han Fei repeatedly for his efforts, and encouraged Han Fei to continue to maintain the ally relationship between Han and Tang in the future, and to join forces and advance and retreat together.

When Fang Li and Han Fei were greeting each other, Wu Qi, dressed in military uniform, waited by the side with a smile until the two of them finished talking, and then said, "Don't Tang still remember Wu Qi?"

Fang Li hurriedly bowed and returned with a warm greeting: "Haha... General Wu's words that night were like enlightenment, which made Fang Li suddenly realize. How dare you forget your teachings? I often miss you from now on, and I finally met the general again today!"

Wu Qi sighed: "I still remember that Duke Tang was just a general from Yu State at that time, and was preparing to go to Chiyang to guard me. I was besieged by a group of wolves. Fortunately, Duke Tang rescued him in time, so Wu Qi escaped."

"Haha... General Wu is extremely persevering. Even if we don't have the appearance of us, you will be able to escape danger!"

Wu Qi continued to strode his beard and sighed: "I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, the Tang Duke was no longer the same as before. He led the Guo and Yu coalition forces to defeat the Jin army, and killed Wei Chou fled in a panic, restored the mountains and rivers, and merged Guo and Yu into the Tang Dynasty. Such great achievements are enough to be recorded in history..."

Fang Li smiled and said, "It's just that the three armies are lucky, and the military and civilians work together and unite, so that we can have the current situation."

Wu Qi nodded, showing regret: "If it were not for General Cao Gui's invitation, Qi would probably stay and follow Tang Public to create great achievements, and regretfully missed it!"

"Haha... If General Wu is willing, my Tang Kingdom will welcome General Wu to serve in my Tang Kingdom at any time. If you fight side by side with Gongjin, why worry about going against you?"
