Chapter 23
Han Xin's plank road construction and secretly traveled to Chencang was a famous move in military history, and it was also Han Xin's first achievement for Liu Han to open up the mountain. From then on, Han Xin embarked on the road of outstanding military command and became one of the famous figures in military history. Xiang Yu learned from the knowledge obtained by later generations that those who win the hearts of the people won the world. However, in Guanzhong, Xiang Yu was greatly unpopular. This was much worse than Liu Bang. Liu Bang entered Guanzhong, and at first he was also a jewelry beauty in the Qin palace, but under the persuasion of Zhang Liang and others, he put away his greedy and lustful heart, so he sealed the treasury and made three rules with the elders of Guanzhong. In this way, the Qin people who did not know that Liu Bang's treacherous Qin were all fascinated by Liu Bang and hated Xiang Yu.
Now that Xiang Yu is in charge of Guanzhong, how to deal with the Qin people in Guanzhong has become an imminent event. Once it is not handled properly, it is very likely that Li Zicheng will be driven out by the Braids Army and the remaining elders of the Ming Dynasty soon after.
"Old King, do you still remember the proposal to establish a capital in the past?" Fan Zeng asked with his hand slid his beard.
Xiang Yu was stunned and then said, "Go naturally remembers that at that time, Yafu was strongly advocated establishing the capital of Guanzhong to show the princes and people of the world that our great Chu would unify China. Now Gu has fully obtained the land of Guanzhong. Yafu's intention is to officially announce the capital of Guanzhong?"
"That's exactly what it means." Fan Zeng smiled and nodded, and continued, "not only should we declare the capital of Guanzhong, but we should also ascend the throne and become emperor. As long as the overlords use Guanzhong as their capital, they can shock the disciples of Liu Ji in Shu, so that Qi dare not come out easily and compete for the world."
"Ascending the throne and becoming emperor?" Xiang Yu said in surprise. Although he had been planning to become emperor for a while, Xiang Yu did not want to become emperor at this time. After all, Liu Bang has not been completely annihilated, which means that he may leave Shu again at any time and come to Guanzhong to set off a bloody storm, big or small.
"Yes, the world has been raging for a long time, and the people are suffering. The people hope to stop the troops as if they were looking forward to the sun and the moon. If the overlord ascends the throne and becomes emperor, he can be content with the hearts of the people in the world and never cheats on villains. At that time, even if there are kings and princes who have troops and do not listen to the dispatch, they will not be able to help the people." Fan Zeng thought that Xiang Yu did not want to be emperor, but wanted to restore the situation before Qin, so he quickly analyzed the benefits of being known as the emperor to Xiang Yu.
When Xiang Yu heard Fan Zeng's words, he remembered an important thing and asked: "Father Ya, the world is raging, because the kings hold heavy troops, they covet the world. If they can collect all the troops of the kings and set up counties to guard the orders, the world will no longer be affected by weapons. What does Yafu think?"
Since ancient times, the reason for chaos in the world is entirely because the princes and princes in the vassal states have soldiers and generals. During the Five Dynasties, a warlord once said: What is the emperor? Those who have strong soldiers and horses are doing it. Although this sentence is a bit rash, it reveals an eternal truth, which is what the chairman said - power comes from a gun. If the princes and princes have guns in their hands, they naturally have the ambition to seize power. The world is trapped in disputes and wars because of the ambition of one or two people, and the people are trapped in dire straits and storms and it is difficult to survive. In order to solve this stubborn disease, abolishing the feudal system is a good medicine.
But after hearing this, Fan Zeng was shocked and said hurriedly: "Overlord, you must not practice the story of tyrannical Qin. The reason why Qin died in the second lifetime was that the tyrannical Qin did not establish the six kingdoms and implemented the county system. Therefore, the world was destroyed. Now the overlord used all the generals to win the world. How could he not reward the titles of land? The overlord became the emperor and asked the princes to guard all directions. If one of them rebelled, the emperor could lead the world to kill them together. In this way, the world could be safe and the people could be safe. I hope the overlord should carefully examine it."
Xiang Yu knew that Lao Fan was still quite respectful of the feudal system at this time, so he didn't think it was strange. Instead, he laughed: "Zhou lost the world, because the princes were powerful and the emperor was weak. Qin lost his deer, and his root was tyrannical. Qin was cruel to the world, so the heroes in the world emerged and destroyed them. What does it have to do with counties? Yafu, how did Gu think about it now? Instead, he made a plan for his descendants to abolish the feudal system and conduct counties. Since ancient times, there have been rebellious princes, but have heard of rebellious counties?"
Fortunately, Xiang Yu also knew that Liu Zongyuan had written an article called "Founding Theory", so he did not say hello (to say hello to people hundreds of years later?) and used it for his own use.
Fan Zeng still couldn't understand, but when Xiang Yu said earnestly, he had to remind him: "If the generals and princes knew about the overlord's thoughts, how could he do his best for the overlord? He was defeated and defeated. If Liu Ji stepped out of the horse, the old ministers were afraid that the princes would surrender to their command and betray Chu, so he hoped that the overlord would think twice."
This point talks about the substantive issues. Historical records show that after Liu Bang won the world, he once asked his ministers what was the reason why Liu Xiang lost the world. Wang Ling once said that the reason was that Liu Bang was willing to grant land to his heroes, but Xiang Yu was reluctant to leave it.
"I will think about this matter again. Now I will set the capital of Guanzhong as the most important thing." Xiang Yu thought that the major event had not been completely over, and it was really not appropriate to abolish the feudal immediately. After the world settled down, he would slowly implement the county system. At that time, someone was not satisfied, and a single knife could kill the chicken and scare the monkey.
"All things in Western Chu are in Jinling, and we can call Fan Ping to move to Guanzhong and then report to the world." Fan Zeng said.
"This matter was handed over to Yafu." Xiang Yu was not very good at these tasks, so he kicked the task to Fan Zeng.
"No!" Fan Zeng hurriedly took over the task.
Xiang Yu suddenly thought of something and asked: "The palace in Xianyang is destroyed. If it is the imperial capital, it may be inappropriate."
"The old minister has plans," Fan Zeng smiled and said, "The Qin Xingle Palace south of the Wei River has not yet been destroyed. You can expand the palace on it, thinking that it is the use of a king. This way, without wasting labor, can demonstrate the style of the imperial capital. Please decide."
"Xingle Palace?" Xiang Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Why would you change the name to Changle Palace to show that you are different from Qin? What does Yafu think?"
Fan Zeng said in surprise: "The old minister has not considered this point, and the overlord is still thinking about it carefully."
Xiang Yu secretly enjoyed it. This is not our credit. When I read books before, I knew that there was a very famous palace called Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace in the Han Dynasty, which was the place where Han Xin was killed. When the world became stable and prosperous in the future, the Weiyang Palace was built and completely replaced Liu Bang's position in history.
Another thing to learn from Liu Bang is how to get the hearts of the elders of Guanzhong. After all, people's support can largely influence whether the country he established can last forever. He had offended the people of Guanzhong before, but Xiang Yu could not come up with a way to ease the contradictions for a while, so he had to ask Fan Zeng for advice: "Yafu, the people of Guanzhong have a lot of jealousy towards our Western Chu, but the lonely cannot kill all the Qin people. How can the Qin people be willing to serve the lonely people?"
Fan Zeng smiled and replied: "How can the people in the world know great cause? Just give a little kindness and reward to win their hearts."
If you want to sit firmly in the world, you have to win people's hearts. Xiang Yu was very disdainful of the way of buying people's hearts, but once he faced such a situation, he had to do everything possible to win people's hearts. He was in a different position and thinking angle, and he came to different conclusions.
"The people in Guanzhong can be exempted from three years of taxes, and each household can also obtain a certain amount of silver from the treasury to restore production. People in Guanzhong do not have to join the army within one year and rest and recuperate." Xiang Yu picked up his pen and wrote such a line of words on Jian Ce.

The next day, it was just dawn, and before Xiang Yu could summon the generals' meeting hall to discuss major events, the two soldiers actually brought a pile of books and presented them to Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu felt puzzled and asked quickly, "Who is sending this?"
"Return to the Overlord, this is a book written by the generals. Please read it." The soldiers reported truthfully.
What are these guys doing? Xiang Yu was confused, picked up a bundle of bamboo slips, took it apart, and saw that it was written by Xiang Fei. He said a lot of nonsense, and the theme was pointed out at the end - asking the Overlord to ascend the throne. Then he opened the other bamboo slips, and the content was similar, and all of them were signs of persuading advancement.
"Call the generals to discuss in the hall." Xiang Yu couldn't help but smile and said in a desperate attempt.
Xiang Fei brought a group of generals into the hall. When he saw Xiang Yu, he all fell to the ground and said in unison: "The last generals and others respectfully requested the overlord to ascend the throne to the throne and become emperor."
"Everyone, what is this?" Xiang Yu knew that they must have been implied by Lao Fan, so he started to act.
"The overlord raised an army in Wuzhong and resisted the violent Qin Dynasty. Now, in Jingpingyu, it is advisable to give up the title of honor to eliminate the disputes in the world. If the overlord does not respect the title of emperor, he will panic about the world, and make Liu Ji and others have unreasonable thoughts and launch wars." Xiang Fei took the lead in persuading.
This reason is relatively crowned, but Xiang Yu refused: "I heard that the position of emperor should be occupied by wise people, but I am afraid that I will not be able to take this responsibility."
When Xiang Yu saw similar occasions before, he couldn't help but be amused by those who repeatedly refused. He was obviously trying to sit on the dragon throne, but he pretended to be reluctant. It was really funny. But he really had to pretend, so it would be convenient to win people's hearts - you all have the help of supporting him.
"The overlord has been a noble family for many generations, and led the princes to destroy the tyrant Qin and rebel Liu, and had a world of great achievements. His extraordinary achievements have never been seen in ancient times. It is a place where everyone hopes to be called emperor. If the overlord refuses, he will be afraid of the hearts of the generals." Xiang Fei once again persuaded him to advance.
"However, Liu Jishang was entrenched in Shu and was alone and hastily proclaimed emperor, so there might be something wrong with Xiang Yu's point of view. He was called the emperor before the powerful enemy was destroyed, and he seemed a little too hasty.
"Otherwise," Xiang Fei continued, "The reason why Liu Ji left Shu to plot against rebellion in the past was that the overlord had never been called emperor, so that he had the intention to covet the world. If the overlord respected the emperor and helped the world, how could Liu Ji's disciples dare to rebel again? Even if there were such a madman, how could the people in the world resist the lord of the world?"
What Xiang Fei said really makes sense. If he refuses, it would seem too hypocritical. Xiang Yu pondered for a moment and said, "If it were not for the generals' request, I would never have given this title and only the responsibility of the world. I hope you can share the same boat with me and rule the world together."
"I dare not do my best to do my best to help you work hard for your Majesty." The tones of the generals changed suddenly. (To be continued)
