Chapter 178: Determined (Part 2)

August 3, 16th year of Chuizheng. Xiangyang City

It was the sunset that was about to set, and when twilight approached, the light around it became dim.

Some wealthy families in the city have begun to light candles in their rooms. In the inner city, the prefect's mansion is already brightly lit, and Wang Hongyi is pondering.

Two months ago, the King of Wu and the Marquis of Chu attacked each other, attempting to defeat Wang Hongyi in one fell swoop and end Wang Hongyi's rise.

At this time, the counties were about to settle, and once the war burned, it would be difficult for each county to grasp. Wang Hongyi decided to take advantage of the situation where the King of Wu was eager to fight and had only the navy, and adopted the navy battle pattern to gain time.

During the two-month stalemate, both sides were actually exhausted, but Wang Hongyi was healthy in the county at this time, the army was regaining energy, and the training was completed.

Now the time is ripe. As long as Wang Hongyi sends a large army to attack Jiangling, he will form a semi-encirclement pattern, forcing the King of Wu to fight to the decisive battle.

"Master, it's getting late, are you having a meal?" Just as he was thinking, an eunuch came over and asked carefully.

"Prepare." Wang Hongyi thought for a while, then casually said a few dishes he wanted to eat, and the eunuch Sing Nuo stepped down.

In the small hall, Wang Hongyi sat in a seat with a sumptuous dinner in front of him. Facing these delicacies, the bamboo chopsticks in his hand were placed aside, and his eyes were slightly closed.

There was no one in the hall, and no one noticed his abnormality.

Thinking and feeling the changes in the tripod above his head, Wang Hongyi looked solemn.

The tripod weapon that was damaged and cracked in the flagship defense battle has been completely repaired.

Inside the cauldron, a lilac native energy began to continuously transform the green energy in the cauldron into the luxuriant purple energy. A little bit of the luxuriant purple energy is constantly born and gradually penetrates into the cauldron, and the cauldron changes as a result.

Almost at the same time, the purple canopy had already appeared faintly.

Purple Qi has been a symbol of the emperor for a long time, but as the population reproduces and expands, it has become a second layer, but it is also a representative of the royal Qi.

The formation of purple qi means that it becomes the prime minister and becomes the prime minister of the country.

For independent forces, it is even more critical, which means that Wang Hongyi has truly been observing the changes in the tripod tools these days.

By now, one-third of its luck has turned into lilac aura.

After watching for a long time, Wang Hongyi slowly opened his eyes.

Only then did I realize that my body was sweating close to my body, and it was wet.

At this time, it was the hot summer season. Although there were ice cubes in the room, I just focused on watching it. When I relaxed, I naturally felt sweaty.

Although the tripod is expanded, only by becoming king can the king be officially formed.

Or, at this time, it can be called a tripod!

"Come." At this time, the dinner was already 70% full, so Wang Hongyi simply stopped eating and called out.

The eunuch who had been waiting outside immediately heard the sound and waited for Wang Hongyi's orders.

"Clean up here, and prepare bath water for Gu, and Gu wants to take a shower and change his clothes."

"No." The eunuch stepped down and prepared.

Wang Hongyi walked out of the hall and waited for the bath water. During this period, he felt that his clothes were sticky and uncomfortable.

The eunuch acted quickly. After a moment, the eunuch carried a hot water bucket and a wooden basin and walked in from outside. He quickly arranged everything for the bath.

Because he was not in the palace, Wang Hongyi didn't care much, so he waved his hand to let the eunuch go down. He soaked in a big bucket by himself, half-squinted his eyes, and stayed quietly in the room filled with white air.

After soaking for half an hour, the water was completely cold. He got up, changed into clean clothes, asked someone to clean the room, and lay alone on the bed, continuing to study.

But I saw that my luck continued to transform into the lucidum qi little by little, and then there was no red light strike.

The energy flows purple, the priest and the king's fate.

In the past, he refused the title of King of Qin, but he did not want to fall into Wei Yue's plan.

More importantly, his fate was not enough to be king at that time. He was afraid that his luck would be exhausted quickly and could not be filled in in time. If he died, his family would be destroyed.

During the recession of the imperial courts in all dynasties, there were rebel troops or powerful ministers trying to be kings, but such people often cannot last long. They are because they are unwilling to win the hearts of the people, but lack of luck is also a taboo, which is a self-destruction that damages blessings.

Wang Hongyi would not do this unfavorable thing.

At this time, he was lucky enough to be born, and his purple energy had already been born, and he had achieved the fate of becoming the king. Now the situation in the world is not the time when he rejected the title of King Qin, and the world has already had a great struggle, and the princes are already fighting for it.

At this time, it is legitimate to be king and can also compete for the initiative.

It can be said that in the Battle of Jiangling, it was almost the same as being the king. As long as you defeat the King of Wu, you can become king in Xiangyang or Jiangling, unify Jingzhou with the title of king, and then destroy Wu.

Thinking of this, Wang Hongyi had no intention of sleeping anymore, got up from the bed, put on his shoes and socks, and came to the outside of the study room in his own clothes.

"Master." When the patrol soldiers saw him, they knelt down and greeted him.

Wang Hongyi nodded slightly and walked into the study by himself.

The study is not big, but it is quiet and elegant.

A rosewood bookcase, full of books, a small rosewood table, a porcelain bottle with rain over the sky, several flowers were inserted, sparse and not yet placed, elegant and pleasant.

There were only pens, ink, paper and inkstones on the desk. After Wang Hongyi sat down, an eunuch came forward to grind it.

The eunuch studied the ink, put it in front of him, and stepped out. Wang Hongyi picked up the pen, spread out a piece of paper, and started writing on it.

After writing, I took my own private seal and pressed it on it. Fold the letter and put it in the envelope to seal it.

Wang Hongyi spread out another piece of paper, wrote another letter, and still pressed a private seal to seal it.

"Go and invite Lord Zhang to come here." Next, Wang Hongyi was preparing to draft an order, which required discussion with Zhang Youzhi, so Wang Hongyi called a personal soldier in and asked him to invite Zhang Youzhi to come here.

The personal soldiers led the order to retreat, and Wang Hongyi took the tea from the eunuch and drank it gently.

Not long after, Zhang Youzhi rushed over.

"Zhang Qing, you are here just right. I have something to discuss with you." Wang Hongyi called him to sit down and said to the person who was serving here: "Supply tea to Lord Zhang."

"Thank you, lord." Someone served tea and presented it to Zhang Youzhi.

In the room, Zhang Youzhi saw two sealed letters on the desk, but did not ask, waiting for the lord's words.

"Zhang Qing, there is one thing that I have to discuss with you." Wang Hongyi said, "Yu Qing went back to make some adjustments, but it's good, so I'll make arrangements."

Yu Liangbo was actually very hard to manage his internal affairs, and he traveled between Shu and Jing from time to time.

Of course, once you become king and officially establish the six ministries and upgrade the Secret Palace, you will not be so busy.

"Yes!" Zhang Youzhi sat upright and bowed his hands and said.

"At the moment, I suddenly thought of this matter and felt a little anxious." Wang Hongyi thought of his anxiety just now, and couldn't help but lose himself. He shook his head and said, "This matter has been discussed before, and it is... the matter of being king."

Wang Hongyi does not need it, or his subordinates do not need to understand the above statement. When will he be king, he has his own charter.

"Become the king?" Zhang Youzhi's eyes narrowed, and he no longer dared to sit upright. He stood up and leaned on the ground. He had a first-class talent, but after he fell down, he thought of a large passage in his mind.

"The independent prince raised his troops and won many battles. Since Jishui County started his governance, he has been generous and fierce, levying taxes, reducing labor service, and reducing land taxes, making the people healthy and the recovery of thousands of industries. It has only been a few years since the granaries have gradually filled up, and the elite troops are 100,000. These are the foundations of the emperor."

"If you have this foundation, it depends entirely on the lord's diligence in his work day and night and strategizing. Now it is a world of great struggle. With this emperor's foundation, you also need famous tools - only famous tools cannot be faked by others. If the lord wants to pacify the world, he must establish famous tools."

"Originally, the name of Duke of Shu was enough. Now that he was fighting for the dragon in the south, the Duke of Guo was not enough. The lord was called king, but he was actually ordered by heaven. If he was not like this, he could not save the people from water and fire. This was in line with the great way of saving the nation and governing the transformation. He would be blessed by heaven. I still couldn't think through other things. Please teach the lord."

Wang Hongyi listened quietly and chewed Zhang Youzhi's words carefully, especially the sentence "This is in line with the way to save the nation and control the transformation", which made him chew it repeatedly.

After a long time, Yixiao said, "It's already shocking to be able to talk about these things in a hurry."

"The ancients often said that those who follow the way will prosper. This is actually a cliché, but it is also the way of pursuing the country."

"In this game, if you don't have the foundation of the emperor, you will naturally seek death. However, if you have the foundation of the emperor, you will not be the king, which is also a consequence of the Heavenly Sutra who will not take the blame instead."

"Since ancient times, we have been able to follow our orders, and this is indeed in line with the great way to save the nation and govern the country."

After saying this, he reached out to get the tea and drank it: "The Six Sects and the Central Sect must be moved, and the orphan inner palace must also be moved. The ceremony of kingship is not a small matter, but it must be carefully prepared. Let's discuss the specific matters."

But Wang Hongyi has a clear idea.

Originally, he was the Duke of Shu and was known as the King of Shu, so it was naturally very reasonable.

The King of Shu was originally one of the famous kings in ancient times and had the title of King of Shu throughout the ages. However, if you really study it, you will find that the King of Shu was a dragon lock, with a small structure, and there were many people who died suddenly.

Wang Hongyi naturally refused to take over. Although he only half of the land of Chu was captured by Jiangling, he could be called King of Chu at this time.

Zhu Yuanzhang was called King of Wu with Zhang Shicheng!

Chu is a great power, and the world has been dominant. It has inherited for twenty generations and has a deep and profound foundation. It is called the Queen of Chu. The most important thing is to reduce time, and it can be quickly formed and annex the south.

However, even if you seize the world, Wang Hongyi would never be called Emperor Chu. Most of the old titles have an impact. It would be better to gather new titles and become emperors like the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

This deeply imprints Wang Hongyi’s understanding of luck.

Of course, these thoughts should not be explained directly, and then the monarch and minister talked at night with candles.

One night passed, a secret metaphor, and two secret letters, were sent to Chengdu Prefecture by Wang Hongyi by the Thirteenth Division.

This is of course a matter of migration and preparation.
