Planeswalker My Plane War

Chapter 255 Princes 2
Xu Nan?Princes?Zhang Cheng really has too much information this time, which is a bit difficult to digest for a while.

what happened?Hasn't the state of Xu perished?In different places and in different cultural atmospheres, there are obvious differences in the demise of a country.For example, Maoziguo on earth.According to historical records, the king beat his own son to death, leading to the extinction of the family. Is this country extinct?No.The gentry and nobles of the whole country gather together for a meeting, and it is done by electing someone to be the king, without even changing the name of the country.But in this world, if the monarch and his family die, the country will be destroyed.Therefore, after knowing that Xu Guo was defeated by Quan Rong, the city was captured, and the king of Xu Guo, or the whole family of the Baron Xu was dead, it can be considered that Xu Guo has perished.

But now, Dr. Kunwu has been named Xu Nan.

Originally, I thought that the histories of the two worlds had already taken different paths, but now it seems that they are about to overlap again.

Xu Nan is understandable, after all, Dr. Kunwu mentioned before that he wants to become a prince.But what happened to the Son of Heaven?

According to the historical development of the earth, in the next week there will be a situation where the two kings will oppose each other, and the king of Zhou will PK King Ping of Zhou.But if Zhang Cheng is not mistaken, King Xie of Zhou and King Zhou Ping do not yet exist. Now it can only be said that the Zhou family has two contenders for the position of emperor, one is Prince Yijiu and the other is Prince Yuchen.These two are not emperors yet... In fact, they are still far away from the position of emperors.

Whether it is Prince Yijiu or Prince Yuchen, they are not "legal heirs". The real legal heir is called Ji Bofu, who has been killed together with his father, King Zhou You.Zhang Cheng's body was originally one of Ji Bofu's attendants, and he tried to sacrifice himself to cover Ji Bofu's escape, but unfortunately failed in the end.

That is to say, if the two competitors want to legally inherit the throne of the Son of Heaven, they must first declare themselves as the "legal heirs", then summon the princes, hold an enthronement ceremony, offer sacrifices to heaven, earth and the gods, and announce that they have become the Son of Heaven .

On Earth, this step is very simple: what is the legal heir, what is the enthronement ceremony, as long as you have a group of princes to support you, you can get it all done.Legality and so on are relatively vague concepts, nothing more than a declaration ceremony, and it is not difficult for the two competitors.So the key to becoming the Son of Heaven lies in the support of the princes - the more princes support you, the stronger your legitimacy.But in this world with a true god, it's not that simple.

Judging from what Zhang Cheng currently knows, if you want to declare yourself as the "legal heir", you need to be recognized by the ancestor of the Zhou family, Houji, who has been conferred the gods.If you want to declare yourself the Son of Heaven, you must be recognized by most of the gods, even Haotian.If these high gods don't approve, then you have no legitimacy.No matter how many princes support you, it is useless.

Calling himself the Son of Heaven without being recognized by the gods... Zhang Cheng doesn't know what this kind of practice is called in this world (probably called "false king" or "tyrant king"), but he is sure that it will not end well.

Ma Dan, it's not that fast, is it?Before, Dr. Kunwu was still saying that the two princes had written letters to contact them. Why has the emperor already been announced?Who is the new emperor?Prince Yijiu, or Prince Yuchen?Or Zhou Pingwen or Zhou Xiewang?Anyway, it won't be two emperors, because it is impossible for Houji to allow such a thing.

A lot of disturbing thoughts flashed through his mind, and Zhang Cheng peeked at Dr. Kunwu who was sitting on top.Dr. Kunwu seemed to have completely healed from his injuries from the conflict with Heng'e last time, and now he was full of joy and joy.

Not only Dr. Kunwu, everyone is very happy.Everyone knew that Dr. Kunwu was granted the title of Xu Nan, so it is only natural that these people will rise with the tide.Originally, everyone was at most a sergeant, but now it seems that a doctor is not impossible.

Many people know the situation in Xu country, even if they don't know the details, at least they know the general idea.Xu Nan's family all died in battle, it is hard to imagine that his vassals and retainers did not lose.Even if the specific loss is not clear, it can be guessed that Xu Guohui has enough fiefdoms and interests to leave to these former ministers of Doctor Kunwu.

Already there are whispers of bright prospects for the future.

Someone came out from behind, "My lord, I think the envoy of the emperor left just now... It seems that the direction is not right."

"The envoy is going to see Doctor Xifeng." Doctor Kunwu replied. "Just now he showed me the order to Doctor Xichuang." Doctor Kunwu was so happy that he didn't want to keep it a secret. "Doctor Xicun and Quan Rong have made great achievements in the battle. If we continue to work hard, there will be great rewards in the future."

According to the history of the earth, after the dog army was repelled (in fact, it cannot be called repulsion, it can only be said that the dog army stopped expanding), the doctor Xizhen will be named Qin Bo.King Ping of Zhou conferred all the old lands of Zong Zhou occupied by Quan Rong to Dr. Xicun—this is a very generous conferment, the only problem is that they need to conquer all these lands by themselves.To put it bluntly, what King Zhou Ping gave to Qin was a blank check, and then Qin would wage a long and cruel war against Quan Rong.Zhang Cheng remembered that the war would last for hundreds of years before the people of Qin cashed the empty promise.

Compared with the canonization of Doctor Xicun, the canonization of Doctor Kunwu is obviously much better.The dog soldiers who attacked Xu State were finally defeated, and the land, population and wealth of Xu State were not damaged.The current state of Xu should be under the temporary custody of the army of the state of Lu, and it is basically well preserved, waiting for Dr. Kunwu to take over.

If you take a long-term view, Zhang Cheng knows that Qin State will rule the world in the future, and Xu State will soon perish in the frenzy of the Spring and Autumn princes annexing each other.But at the moment, everyone understands that Dr. Kunwu has made a lot of money.

"Everyone, don't slack off right now!" Dr. Kunwu withdrew his gaze and looked around at his subordinates.As mentioned earlier, in fact, as a doctor, Doctor Kunwu has not many subordinates, that is, the strength of putting together more than 30 chariots.But at this moment, Dr. Kunwu is full of ambition when he looks at the small number of subordinates. "This time I was entrusted to the feudal lords. You are all meritorious ministers, but the dog army is still there, and the situation of the battle is still unclear. You must continue to work hard, and I will definitely reward you!"

Then, Dr. Kunwu took out a map.This map should be the map of Xu Country - it is estimated that it was brought here by the envoy just now.The map shows that Xu has a total of 12 cities.In other words, in theory, Xu Nan can confer up to 11 doctors.Moreover, the position of Xu State is much better than that of Kunwu City.Kunwu City is actually a desolate border, if it is not a transit point for maintaining trade with Chu State, it can be said to be a remote place that does not shit.Even the surrounding neighbors are actually separated from you by quite a large no-man's-land.And Xu country is the central control area of ​​human beings - Zhu Xia.The fool also understands that this place is richer and more prosperous.

Dr. Kunwu took out his pen and stretched out his hand to circle a few times on the map.Some circles contain a city, and some circles have no city.Everyone understands that the circles on the map are the rewards Dr. Kunwu planned to give to these veterans.This also means that if Dr. Kunwu takes office, each of them will get a lot of territory.Several of them even qualified to become doctors.

Doctor Kunwu... that is, the future Xu Nan, plans to confer three cities, that is, three people as doctors.After seeing this clearly, more than one person made a throat rolling sound.

People on earth may not understand how difficult it is to advance in status in this era.This is the same for any member of this class society.Not to mention in reality, even in the game, it is a relatively difficult task to advance no matter which identity you are.These tasks require you to run around and fight to the death in exchange for an upgrade in status.This is true when a slave becomes a commoner, and even more so when a scholar becomes a doctor.And the reality is more desperate than the game - because in the game at least you can receive this task, regardless of the difficulty of the task, at least you know what to do to be promoted.In reality, you can't even find a way to get promoted.

Doctor Kunwu drew a circle, but did not do anything else, and put away the map instead.

"Everyone," Doctor Kunwu said seriously. "Although there should be no more wars in winter, you must mow your horses, train your troops every day, and reorganize your troops to prepare for fierceness. Don't rest for a while!"

"Of order!" All the subordinates replied in unison with great emotion.

Zhang Cheng could see now that Dr. Kunwu actually drew a big cake for his subordinates this time, which filled everyone with confidence and fighting spirit.Wait, something seems to be wrong.

"Good!" Doctor Kunwu said. "Xin, the patrols around Kunwu City will be strengthened recently, and the remaining dog soldiers will be wiped out..." He began to assign tasks one by one.Some went to patrol the territory, some trained soldiers in the barracks, some were ordered to go out to communicate with the princes to strengthen ties, and of course there were other daily affairs.

After finishing the task distribution, when everyone was about to disperse.Doctor Kunwu suddenly said casually: "Zhang Cheng, you and Huang Gong stay here for a while, I have other things."

After a few minutes, there were only three of them left in the hall.Even the soldiers who were on duty just now were sent out.

Doctor Kunwu looked at Zhang Cheng with a smile on his face, as if he was waiting for Zhang Cheng to ask questions.

"Doctor... um...has the Son of Heaven already been established?" Zhang Cheng finally couldn't bear it and asked.

"Of course...not yet!" Doctor Kunwu replied. "The Son of Heaven... how could it be so simple to stand up?"

"Then the canon just now..." The emperor didn't stand up, what does that canon mean?Liar?is this necessary?

"It's Prince Yijiu," Huang Gong explained beside him. "Although he has not yet been established as the emperor, the doctor is determined to be the emperor."

It turned out that he was here to win over Dr. Kunwu.Zhang Cheng instantly figured this out in his mind.This canonization is not official, but it is a well-founded promise.This means that if Prince Yijiu ascends to the throne of the Son of Heaven, it will be "no joke", and Dr. Kunwu will become Xu Nan.On the contrary, if Prince Yijiu failed, then there would naturally be no canonization.Even if it is based on his own interests, Dr. Kunwu must work for Prince Yijiu.Of course, it's worth the effort.

"That...Prince Yuchen..." Zhang Cheng asked tentatively.Is Dr. Kunwu currently on two boats, or is he determined to get on King Zhou Ping's boat?
"Don't mention it anymore!" Huang Gong said with a firm attitude.Obviously King Zhou Xie rejected Dr. Kunwu's request, and now Dr. Kunwu has made up his mind to follow King Zhou Ping all the way to Hei.

Choosing Zhou Pingwang, or Prince Yijiu was not a wrong choice, at least in the history of the earth, Zhou Pingwang had the last laugh.

"Zhang Cheng," Doctor Kunwu said. "Do you know why the Son of Heaven favors me so much?"

Doctor Kunwu and Doctor Xizhen formed an alliance, but Doctor Kunwu was treated as Xu Nan, free land and population city, while Doctor Xizhen was treated as "here will be a big reward in the future".Any fool would think that's not quite right.Where is the difference between the two doctors?In fact, when it comes to military power, Doctor Xifeng is even stronger.When it comes to record, Doctor Xifeng will definitely not be inferior.

"I don't know about this." Zhang Cheng replied honestly.

"Do you know that the emperor ascended the throne... what is most lacking now?" Dr. Kunwu asked.He looked at Zhang Cheng, and Zhang Cheng also felt a little dazed.Why did Dr. Kunwu discuss this kind of topic with him?
"Houji!" Before Zhang Cheng could answer, Huang Gong had already given the correct answer.The two looked at Zhang Cheng together.To be honest, this answer not only did not clear up Zhang Cheng's confusion, but made him even more confused.What does it mean?
"It's unpredictable at first," Doctor Kunwu said. "No one knows who Houji really likes. But I have a way to get Prince Yijiu to be recognized by Houji. That's why the Son of Heaven canonize him like this."

"What way?" Zhang Cheng asked.

"Great witch!" Doctor Kunwu replied.

Zhang Cheng instantly remembered what Wu Lan and others had told him about Duke Guo.Guogong promised that if someone brought a big witch there, he would immediately grant that person a land.In other words, no matter what kind of cat or dog, no matter what kind of untouchable savage origin, as long as you catch a big witch and bring it to Duke Guo, you will be promoted to noble immediately.This is true for this kind.Feudal society is simply incredible rewards.Part of the reason why Wu Lan and others came to Xiaxu was because of the wizards.He also thought of the scene where the wizard was killed by the second leader.At that time, Xiaoxiong clearly pointed out that Er Negative used the soul of a wizard to further improve his priesthood.

These kinds of memories merged instantly, and with Dr. Kunwu's reminder, he instantly understood what Dr. Kunwu's method was.I also understand why Guo Gong offered such a reward.

Ma Dan, this is an attempt to bribe Houji!Although this world is still in a barbaric era, there is no shortage of human wisdom that should be there!

Doctor Kunwu left him like this, and faced him with a smile on his face. This attitude made Zhang Cheng finally understand the real purpose of this meeting and why Doctor Kunwu wanted to keep him.

This... what Dr. Kunwu meant... let me catch a big witch and bring him back!real or fake?There is no such task in this game...

"This matter is too important to be trusted by others. Only Zhang Cheng, you are loyal and trustworthy, and can be entrusted to you."

"Indeed," Huang Gong said from the side. "Master Zhang Cheng must do this!"
