Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 527: Jiaozhou and Chu
In the sixth year of Xingshun, on the first day of the first lunar month, at the great court meeting of the Han Dynasty in Chang'an, Liu Xie emotionally conveyed good news to the subjects of the court and other Han princes...

Jiaozhou Shixie will pay tribute again next year!
Moreover, the scale of this annual tribute is quite large, and it even includes an auspicious stone tablet that appeared in the "South of the Sky", implying that Liu Xie is the Lord of Destiny...

Therefore, Longyan is very happy!
But whether the Marquis of Zheng, Zhang Yan, Marquis of Sai, Yang Feng, or the Marquis of Qi, Liu Bei, were all wondering - why had I never discovered how such a large tribute team came to Chang'an before?
However, considering that the album has been "missing" for the past six months, everyone decided to bury their doubts in their hearts.

As for Yonghou Ma Teng, Zhaihou Han Sui, and the "unparalleled" Shuhou Liu Zhang, they all sent envoys to Chang'an.

In terms of distance, Liu Bei is actually not close, but in order to show respect, Liu Bei takes the initiative to go to the table every year and ask Liu Xie if he needs to come to Beijing. This year, Liu Xie specially asked him to come...

Sure enough, after a round of bragging, he boasted both Shi Xie and himself. Then Liu Xie acted very exaggeratedly in front of the destiny monument for a while, and then said seriously: "Shi Xie is in charge of Tiannan for the Han Dynasty. Order The land of Nanyue did not repeat the mistakes of the late Qin Dynasty, and was loyal to the Han Dynasty. Not only me... I am very touched!
Moreover, last month, I dreamed of Ancestor Gaozu and Guangwu. The two ancestors took my hand and led me to see this stone tablet in a golden light... and told me that the person who sent the stone tablet, He will be the most loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, and he will also be the one who stabilizes the south for the Han Dynasty.

It wasn't until a few days ago that the stone tablet of the governor was delivered that I finally understood what the two ancestors meant! "

Although there is "God's Will PTSD", Liu Xie feels that only "God's Will" can defeat "God's Will".

It's time to show the true will of God to the people of the Han Dynasty.

"So I decided... to ennoble Jiaozhou Shixie as the King of Nanyue, and to rule Tiannan forever for the Han Dynasty!" Liu Xie announced.

In fact, the real people have heard some of this result before.

You can probably guess the reason...

The "Five Ridges Passage" incident is the focus of Chu State's propaganda this year. Various soul-stirring songs and dramas showing the spirit of road construction craftsmen can often be seen...unless they are blocked with all their strength, they can't be stopped!

It's hard not to know.

Moreover, Liu Xie specifically mentioned "stabilizing the south." Does this "south" refer to Jiaozhou, or... does it count as the south starting from Huainan?
Therefore, although Liu Bei and others were a little unhappy about Liu Xie's previous secrecy, no one raised any objections - everyone agreed at this time that Liu Xie must have communicated with Shi Xie!
Zhong Ji was probably busy with this matter, so he didn’t see anyone for more than half a year...

Then came the anecdotal part of offering sacrifices to the heavens - I just informed everyone symbolically, now it is official.

After a complicated ceremony, Taiyi was worshiped first, and finally Liu Xie stepped forward to pray for the prosperity of the Han Dynasty and then... canonized Shi Xie!
It was also at this time that Xianshi Zhiwen launched his campaign to confer the title of king of a state. Naturally, this force was enough to trigger "Xianshi Zhiwen", and it was nationwide.

All the cities and towns where Cheng Ji was located saw this scene from the air.

Because of urbanization, the number of Chu people who saw this scene was definitely the largest...

I saw that Liu Xie first described the achievements of his soldiers and described them with great emotion, especially his destiny stone tablet, as well as the dream of Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty and Emperor Guangwu... and then announced the matter of being crowned king.

Especially at the end...

He also quietly changed "Yongzhen Tiannan" to "Yongzhen Nanjing", which was slightly provocative.

People in Jinling and even all over the Chu State were all gesticulating and talking at this time - normally the emperor of the Han Dynasty should kneel down when he appeared in front of the Xian envoy, but in the Chu State he had already been ignored.

Especially after the prince of Shu "intended to destroy Chu" under the instigation of the "mastermind behind the scenes", the Chu people's respect for the Han Dynasty had long been reduced to the price of cabbage.

Moreover...the King of Chu didn't ask everyone to kneel, so why should he kneel to the Emperor of Han?

"The Stone Tablet of Destiny? What is it? It can't be a fake, right?"

"Ahem, there is no evidence, so don't talk nonsense!"

"Speaking of which, how was such a big stone monument transported there? By ship?"

"You actually made Shi Xie king? Wouldn't Shi Xie, like the princes of the Han Dynasty, start banning formal theater troupes? I still want to lead people to develop..."

Regarding Shi Xie's reaction, the people of Chu were talking a lot.

But in Jinling, the scene was a bit embarrassing...

Bai Tu was also performing a rare sacrifice to heaven just now, but was interrupted by Xian Zhiwen. Bai Tu looked at Xian Zhiwen above his head with a strange expression. He was very relaxed and did not have the trouble or headache that Liu Xie expected at this time. .

After Liu Xie made the announcement, the image in "Xian Shi Zhi Wen" changed to the "lens" of the conferred person.

As soon as Shi Xiefang appeared, Liu Xie breathed a sigh of relief...

It seems that Zhongji has arrived in Jiaozhou, but was delayed on his return trip - obviously Shixie already knew about the canonization, and he was also dressed up on the high platform at this time!
The original news conveyed by the collection was to inform Shi Xie that Liu Association would confer him the title of King of South Vietnam at the New Year's Day meeting...

Shi Xie must be preparing to receive the canonization, that's why the preparations are so grand!

Although Liu Xie had been willful and insisted on announcing it today, he was actually a little uneasy in his heart - not because he was afraid that Shi Xie would not accept it, but... he was worried that something would go wrong when the seed series went there, and then he would have to watch Shi Xie. Xie's improvisation.

After all, Shi Xie is quite old. If he is overly surprised or incoherent, he will inevitably fall into disgrace.

At this time, Liu Xie's heart finally relaxed...

I saw Shi Xie returning the courtesy with a straight look to the north, and then said in a measured tone: "Old man, thank you for your kindness... I am originally named Confucian, and I have four brothers. They run the business in Jiaozhou, and returned to the mountains and seas. However, the Central Plains was in chaos. At this time, Xie used his armored soldiers to With his strength, he can avoid the wolves, connect Yizhou to the west, and Dachu to the north.

Although he has no outstanding achievements, he still fulfills the responsibility of safeguarding the peace of the country and the people. He is worthy of the subjects of Jiaozhou and the late emperor..."

Liu Xie was quite happy at first, but... the more he heard about it, the more uncomfortable he became!
Why is this old turtle so ignorant of humility?
It's already time to confer him the title of king, so there's no need to demonstrate his legal rationality in Jiaozhou, right?
I kept praising him, but according to the process, he should be more respectful and accept it later!
Why does he continue to count his own achievements?Is it said that Shishi is the "heirloom of poetry and calligraphy"?

Liu Xie felt a little displeased with him in his heart, but he didn't show it, and now he has developed some skills to hide his emotions and anger.

I even thought that after I conquer Chu Ni...ahem, well, Shi Xie will probably be cold by then!

Liu Bei, who was also at the Chang'an court meeting, had some bad suspicions in his mind. There was something wrong with the way he looked up at Shi Xie, but nothing could be changed.

Just when Liu Xie couldn't bear to listen to the old man's bragging, and when it was finally time to "thank me for my kindness," he heard Shi Xie's tone change: "But... Xie is old, and his brothers and descendants are incapable of success! Every time I think about the people of Jiaozhou, , Xie's heart was tossing and uneasy, fearing to let him down.

Fortunately, a saint descended from heaven..."

Before Liu Xie could be happy - he wanted to praise Shi Xie in his heart. Finally, this old man was not just bragging, he also knew how to brag for me...

"It started in Yangzhou, flourished in Jingchu, and was as bright as the sun in the sky..."

Liu Xie's mind exploded with a buzzing sound. Before he could digest the word "Yangzhou" at the beginning, he heard the key word "Jingchu". He felt that his ears and eyes were all covered with a cloud. There was a layer of fog, and even though you could hear the sound of needles dropping quietly around you, you only felt that your eyes were blurry and your ears were ringing. You couldn't sense the outside world at all, and even... the world was spinning, and you almost fell down.

"Xie Ben, a common man, should be obedient to nature and respond to people. I really don't dare to accept the title of King of Nanyue. I only wish to be a citizen of Chu State and live up to the prosperity of Chu State. Only then can I live up to this life and live up to Jiaozhou." People!" Shi Xie declared solemnly.

In contrast, Shi Xie's side was obviously prepared.

Although the surrounding subjects do not know the specific thoughts in their hearts, at least they are cheering together now, praising Shi Xie, praising the Chu State, praising the King of Chu...

In this way, the effect of "Xian envoys know and hear" continues, but...it shifts to the "lens" of Shi Xie's refuge, King Bai Tu of Chu.

"Shi Lao is too modest. The Shi family has made an indelible contribution to the peace of the Han barbarians in Jiaozhou. He has protected the lives of the Han people and quelled chaos, and has the virtue of educating people of all ethnic groups. In times of trouble, it is true that there are Shi Lao in Jiaozhou. Good luck!

The Shi family now understands the righteousness and entrusts the development of Jiaozhou and the well-being of the people of Jiaozhou to Chu. I hereby promise to never let down the trust and strive for the happiness and stability of the Chu people of Jiaozhou throughout my life!
Today, Shi Xie is granted the title of Marquis of Longbian, with a settlement of [-] households, and is hereditary. Shi Yi is granted the title of Marquis of Hepu, with a settlement of [-] households, and is hereditary..."

Bai Tu seemed to be "following the process" at the beginning, first exchanging blows in the court, and then making promises in the spirit of Chu. But... in general, Bai Tu's words were more "straightforward", which was also in line with Chu. The current literary style of the country has changed.

Of course, these are not the key points. The key point is that judging from Bai Tu's arrangements, he has obviously known about this matter for a long time, and judging from the rewards given to the two most important of the four Shi Xie brothers, Shi Xie and Shi Yi, it is It is possible to deduce the situation of Shi's "surrender to Chu".

Shi Xie's attitude was very low before, and he even said that he was willing to join Chu as a "Chu citizen", but... just listen, maybe he is being modest?

However, Bai Tu's reward at this time actually reflected the "inside story" of Jiaozhou's surrender to Chu.

The two of them were actually granted the title of County Marquis...

Longbian County is the seat of Jiaozhi County, and "Hepu" County is the seat of "Hepu" County with the same name - if it's just "three thousand households", no matter how you look at it, they are all county princes.

As for other members of the Shi family, they were only granted a few Guannei marquisships - that is, honorary titles without fiefdoms.

The title of nobility in Chu State is the most cautious among the major princes, and is generally considered to be the most "valuable". However... the Han Dynasty just wanted to grant the title of king!
Not only did you reject the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and resolutely join the Chu State, but you also only accepted the canonization of the county prince?

Liu Xie had to hold on to the destiny monument beside him to stand firm. In a daze, he seemed to hear someone talking...

"Eh? Then why did Shi Xie give the Emperor Han the Mandate Monument?"

"Stupid! It must have been given to the King of Chu. The King of Chu didn't accept it, so he gave it to the Emperor of Han!"

"It makes sense, makes sense..."

"By the way, the emperor said before that it was Gaozu and Guangwu who told him that the stone tablet is a symbol of the saints in the world, so..."

"It's better for Gaozu and Guangwu to make things clear!"
