"Ah?" Yan Yan was stunned. This was really not what he expected, and he never thought that Zhao Guoguo would grant him the title of king!

"Come here, please change your clothes!" Li Mu did not explain, but asked the etiquette officer he brought to change Yan Yan's Confucian clothes into the official clothes representing the king.

"Phoenix?" Yan Yan was even more surprised.

The text on the uniform is not the totem black bird of the Zhao Kingdom, but the black bird of the Zhou Dynasty, which means that this monarch is not the monarch of the Zhao Kingdom, but the Zhou Dynasty, and his status is equivalent to that of all countries today. Kings.

"Is this... not wrong?" Yan Yan was born in Confucianism, so he naturally knew the rules of the patterns on Gun's uniform.

For example, Qin and Zhao were both lords and kings of the Zhou Dynasty, so they wore Fengniao Gongfu at major ceremonies. Only at their own home sacrifices, they wore their own Xuanniao Gongfu.

"There is no way. In fact, your title of king is not what our Zhao Kingdom wants to make, but is recognized by the kings of all countries. You will also become the first king who is not the king of Zhou Emperor!" Li Mu said solemnly.

Most people would not dare to imagine such an honor, especially when the Zhou family is no longer around, but there is still someone who can be recognized by the kings of various countries and be crowned king on behalf of the Zhou family.

Because Yan Yan was recognized by the kings and entrusted to Zhou Dynasty, even the Confucianists who attached great importance to etiquette could not say anything else. After all, people were not self-reliant or self-proclaimed.

"Did you give me money?" Yan Yan looked at Yu Qing and others in confusion.

To get the princes to admit it, all Yan Yan could think of was that Yu Qing and others secretly gave money to the princes without telling him.

"Uh..." Yu Qing hesitated for a moment. He did give money, but the money was given to Guo Kai of Zhao State, Yan Chunjun of Yan State, Hou Sheng of Qi State, Li Yuan of Chu State, and An Guo of Wei State. Jun, Ji Wuye of South Korea and Yao Jia of Qin.

But the money given to them was done according to Yan Yan's wishes. It was to facilitate their transactions with the countries in the Central Plains and to allow the countries to open doors for them. It was not to ask them to recommend Yan Yan as king.

Therefore, when they saw Li Mu bringing Wang Gunfu, Wang Yin, Wang Shou, and Yu Gui, Yu Qing and others actually looked confused.

Seeing the confusion of Yan Yan and his subordinates, Li Mu also hesitated.

"Isn't this your plan?"

Li Mu thought all this was Yan Yan's plan.

Yan Yan shook his head. He never thought that he would be granted the title of king or lord, let alone that now that the Zhou family is gone, who can give him the title of king and lord!

But I didn't expect that the princes and kings would have such a tacit understanding this time, and they would jointly elect him to become a king and king.

This is also different from their previous plan to accumulate grain widely, build high walls, and slowly become king.

"When I came, Lord Changwen and Lord Changping of Qin State were also on their way carrying the Bingzhou Tripod, one of King Yu's nine tripods. We will arrive at the Third Prince's City soon," Li Mu continued.

"Really give it!" Yan Yan was stunned again. Then why would he spend money to create a fake?

Li Mu was silent again. Isn't it possible that Qin won't pay for your plan?

"You should think about how to handle the relationship between Bingzhou and other countries now and in the future!" Li Mu spread his hands helplessly.

Today, Yunzhong, Jiuyuan, and Loufan have been called Bingzhou and Bingguo. With the country name, they are no longer called the northern border or two counties and one district.

And similarly, after the feudal state, you and the princes will become equal beings, and the relationship will no longer have their respective affiliations. So a lot of things and policies have to be changed.

One of the benefits of becoming a feudal state is that as the king of a country, he can recruit scholars from hundreds of families in the Central Plains to join the state, instead of recruiting talents in the name of Lord Xinling like before.

Many wise hermits from hundreds of schools are unwilling to accept solicitations from various countries and do not want to participate in the battles between countries. However, becoming an official is actually their hope. Therefore, annexing the country has become their first choice.

After the country was closed, it was natural that these hermits would come to join us for retirement!

Scholars from all walks of life know that adding icing on the cake is not as good as providing help in the snow, and Bingguo is a newly born baby, and a group of scholars will flock to it, hoping to become the founding ministers of the country.

"I'll take it slow!" Yan Yan held his forehead, still a little unbelievable for a moment.

He didn't do anything, so why did he become a slave?

It was different from the soldiers who put a yellow robe on him when he woke up. This was when the kings of all forces took the initiative to recognize him and crown him when he was awake!

Especially looking at Mian Shu, whose eyes were covered, Yan Yan was even more confused.

It is already a very high achievement for a Confucian scholar to have a high crown, but this time he went even further and turned the crown into a crown!

"Hurry up and prepare for the coronation ceremony. Envoys from various countries should arrive soon!" Li Mu reminded.

The crowning ceremony is indispensable. Although Zhao Guo asked him to perform the coronation ceremony for Yan Yan, everyone knows that this is Zhao Guo's way of regaining his face. He should say to the princes, this is the king of Zhao Guo!

But in fact, Zhao Guo himself knew that this was just to put money on his face, so Yan Yan still had to prepare for a coronation ceremony with the participation of envoys from the princes.

"We have never done this kind of coronation ceremony, and it doesn't exist in history books or rites!" Yu Qing looked at everyone bitterly.

Even as a great Confucian scholar and former Prime Minister Zhao, he didn't know how to do this kind of etiquette!

He understands the normal succession and crowning ceremony, but he doesn't understand the ceremony of crowning a king when the Emperor of Zhou no longer exists!

"Don't look at me, I'm a military strategist. What you Confucians don't understand, I don't understand even more!" Li Mu ignored Yu Qing's look for help.

This kind of thing has never happened before. How does he know what to do?

His mission was to bring Gun Fu, Mian Shu, Wang Yin and Yu Gui to Yan Yan, and the rest was none of his business.

"Follow the Zen position process?" Yu Qing looked at Yan Yan and asked.

It seems to be similar to the process of Zen ceremony.

That is to say, when the emperor abdicated to the throne, he asked wise men to succeed him three times, and the wise men resigned three times. In the end, he had to accept the abdication for the sake of the people of the world.

However, now that the Emperor of Zhou no longer exists, the ceremony has become three invitations to the envoys from the princes, three speeches, and finally everyone accepts the title of king and country!

"It seems like it can only be like this!" Yan Yan thought for a while, it seemed like a concession, but also like a promotion of talents.

The process is the same, only the details have changed.

As for rejecting the offer?

Not to mention whether Yan Yan would agree or not, none of the staff in Yunzhong, Jiuyuan and Lou Fan would agree.

Although Yan Yan was the lord of the Northern Territory before, these people actually had no sense of belonging. However, once Yan Yan became a king and a country, it would mean that they were all children of a family and a country, instead of wandering around. The wandering ghosts of the grassland.

They used to be a grassroots team, but now they are the subordinates of a prince!
