The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 660: Imperial Title? [Subscribe*Monthly Ticket Request]

"The victor makes you a king and the loser is a bandit. Why should Bingzhou go to such lengths?" The king, who was truly convinced by the defeat, decisively signed his name on the covenant and stamped it with the royal seal.

"That's different. Bingzhou comes from China, and what matters is legitimacy!" Gongsun Linglong explained with a smile.

The grassland has an advantage that the Central Plains does not have, which is that it surrenders quickly.

If the Central Plains wants to make a country completely surrender, it must not only conquer the other party militarily, but also conquer the other party culturally and psychologically.

Otherwise, it would be like the conflict between Chu and Yue. Even if Chu defeated Wu and Yue, the Yue people would choose to escape into the mountains and forests and would not be willing to be loyal to Chu.

The grassland is not like this. If you are stronger than me, then I will submit to you without any psychological burden.

Therefore, the covenant was signed decisively, and all the kings present stamped their royal seals on the covenant.

The King of Donghu was once the old king and also the most important one. Even the weight of all the other kings combined was not as great as his.

Although the King of Donghu had already done a lot of psychological preparation before this, he still felt a little compassionate when this day really came.

When the royal seal representing Donghu fell, the King of Donghu seemed to see the decline of the royal court that once dominated the grasslands and was invincible.

The moment the royal seal was pressed down, it seemed as if all his strength was drained away. He looked visibly older and collapsed powerlessly in front of the table.

Seeing the appearance of the King of Donghu, the other kings also felt sympathetic. Yes, from now on, there was only one royal court left on the grassland, and that was the Beiye Royal Court, and there was only one king left, Tian Chanyu, Bingjun!

Therefore, the original excitement and relief disappeared at this moment.

After all, they lost their former power.

Gongsun Linglong did not care about the loss of these kings. She carefully preserved the covenant with the seals of the kings, then turned and left the hostage house, heading towards the only royal court and power center in the entire grassland.

"Gongsun Linglong has fulfilled her mission!" Gongsun Linglong walked into the school administration hall with the covenant in her hands solemnly dragging it.

As Gongsun Linglong walked into the hall holding the royal book in her hand, all the court officials in Bingzhou involuntarily looked at the heavy royal book in her hand.

The kings of the grassland requested to abolish their royal titles, led their people to join Bingzhou, became an integral part of Bingzhou, and respected the king of Bingzhou as Tian Chanyu.

"Announce the book of kings to the world, and invite all the princes in the world to come to the royal court to witness it together!" An Qisheng looked at Yan Yan.

The unification of the grassland is a major event that can be recorded in Chinese history. It is also a grand event for the grassland. Naturally, the princes of the Central Plains of China should be invited to witness it.

Not only the princes of China, but all the countries and tribes surrounding Bingzhou had to send envoys to witness it together.

These included the Dayuezhi, the Xiongnu, the princes of the Western Regions, and small countries such as Gojoseon east of the Donghu.

"Yes!" Yan Yan spoke slowly.

With the recognition of the kings and Donghu, Bingzhou will officially become the only royal court to unify the grassland and the common ruler of the grassland.

One after another, envoys rode out of the city at full speed and rushed to the surrounding countries to convey this message to the vassal kingdoms and invite them to come and watch the ceremony.

"Bingzhou is the first to take this step after all!" Ying Zheng couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the Bingzhou envoy who came to submit the invitation letter.

Today, the combined territory of Bingzhou is probably larger than the entire Central Plains of China. Except for its population and economy, it is the largest in the world. "Please ask the envoy to report to Lord Bing that I will personally visit the Beiye Royal Court to witness this historic moment!" Ying Zheng thought about it and decided to go to Bingzhou to watch the ceremony in person.

Or maybe Ying Zheng also wanted to go and learn from experience. After all, the Qin State would become the common ruler of the Central Plains of China in the future, and there would also be such a grand ceremony.

Just treat this time as a chance to learn so that you can catch up in the future!

The envoy was a little surprised. His Majesty’s face was so great that the King of Qin had to go to the royal court to watch the ceremony in person!

However, the envoy quickly came to his senses and returned the greeting respectfully, "When the King of Qin comes in person, Bingzhou will surely welcome him with a three-hundred-mile-long ceremony!"

Wei, Yan, Qi and Chu also received the news and expressed their willingness to send envoys to watch the ceremony.

The trend of Bingzhou is already set, who dares not to give Bingzhou this face now?
Even the great witch from the Baiyue region, far to the south of the Chu State, expressed his willingness to go to the ceremony in person.

This is just the number and scale of the princes who will go to Bingzhou to watch the ceremony. Among the scholars of all schools of thought in China, who would be willing to miss this grand ceremony?

That was a historical moment when the Chinese unified the grassland. It would be fine if you were not born in that era, but if you were born in that era, who would be willing to miss it?

Even the head of the unique Confucius Temple and Meng Mansion said that he would definitely go there in person.

Not to mention those old immortal guys who had not walked in the world for a long time. After receiving the news, they took the initiative to express to Bingzhou their desire to go to watch the ceremony.

"The title of king is no longer enough to bear the achievements of your majesty!"

All the civil and military officials in Bingzhou were discussing this grand ceremony.

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, who in the Central Plains had ever set foot on the grasslands and conquered foreign tribes?
Now they not only set foot on the grassland, but also turned the entire grassland into a horse grazing area in the Central Plains of China.

The kings of the grasslands surrendered, and the title of king was no longer qualified to carry the glory of the monarch.

"Should we call ourselves the Emperor or the Emperor?" The civil and military ministers were discussing this.

Since the fall of the Shang Dynasty, no one has used the titles "Huang" and "Emperor" anymore. Even though the Qin and Qi states once briefly claimed to be emperors, they were ultimately unable to withstand the luck that came with the title and eventually voluntarily cancelled it.

"There are three emperors above us: the Emperor of Heaven, the Emperor of Earth, and the Emperor of Thailand. Among them, the Emperor of Thailand is the most honorable. We can change 'King' to the Emperor of Thailand!" An Qisheng and others discussed.

“There were Five Emperors, Yan, Huang, Yao, Shun and Yu. Before that, the monarch was also called ‘Northern Emperor’. It would be better to use ‘Northern Emperor’ as the title!” Some people hold different opinions, believing that the title of emperor represents benevolence, and Bingzhou ruled the grassland by military merit and was the master of all things on the grassland, so he should use “Emperor” as the title.

The emperor is the highest one, called the emperor in heaven; the emperor is the lowest one, called the emperor on earth.

In addition to "Thai Emperor" and "Northern Emperor", there are various other titles, such as "Shang Huang" because Bingzhou is located in the north and is called "Shang Huang". Some people also believe that Bingzhou now only has military achievements, but its civil and benevolent virtues are not yet evident, so it can be called "God". If the monarch is benevolent and civil in the future and can also benefit the grassland, he can be posthumously named "Emperor".

In the harem of the Bingzhou Palace, Yan Yan, Shao Siming and Yan Lingji looked at the titles of emperor and royal sent by the ministers, and for a moment they didn't know what to choose.

"God! What a imagination!" Yan Yan shook his head. It seemed that God had not appeared in the West at that time. If he seized it in this way, would he be able to become the orthodox Westerner?
However, Yan Yan still shook his head. The title of God is holy in the future West, but it is also supreme in the East.

In today's Chinese sacrifices, the supreme god is the Lord Haotian.

Not everyone dares to use this title.
