Chapter 666: Rushing to Give Money [Please Subscribe*Please Pass]
After Yan Yan proclaimed himself emperor, Bingzhou seemed to have truly received the favor of God. On the same day, good news came from all over Bingzhou.
First, in the north of the day, which bordered the Xiongnu King Maodun's court, an old general in the border town accidentally discovered Maodun's trace while hunting. He shot Maodun with an arrow, causing him to escape into the forest and snow.
Then an auspicious sign appeared in the clouds. A thousand-year-old turtle appeared. Although it was only a brief appearance, it was witnessed by tens of thousands of people in the clouds.
The peach forest planted by Ruoshui was also full of fruits that night. In particular, there was a peach tree that produced a giant peach weighing one kilogram. It was regarded as a good omen and was immediately sent to Beiye Royal City at a speed of 800 miles.
There were many similar auspicious signs. In the Hetao area, a white snake crossed the river and actively diverted the water of the Yellow River into the canal.
The most terrifying thing was that when Master Xu of the Mohist school was forging the sword that day, the sword blank suddenly absorbed a wisp of water vapor from heaven and earth, and then naturally sharpened, becoming a famous sword. Even the name of the sword automatically appeared on the sword body, called "Zhenwu".
“You are not trying to make me happy on purpose, are you?” Yan Yan became a little suspicious when he saw the auspicious signs reported from various places.
Many of the so-called auspicious signs are actually artificially created for the purpose of celebration.
But things like the famous sword of the Mohist school, the white snake crossing the river, and the appearance of the Black Tortoise are not something that can be controlled by humans.
In particular, the general Zhenbian was able to find the lone Maodun while hunting and even shot him with an arrow!
Everything else can be said to be artificial forgeries and fabricated collaborations, but would Maodun risk his own life to build momentum for Bingzhou?
"It's a mixture of true and false, but some things are really too mysterious. Maybe this is the favor of the Great Emperor Zhenwu!" Mo Ya was a little confused about which of these auspicious signs were true and which were false.
Maodun was shot by an arrow, and was alone when he was met by the general guarding the border on the road. Who would believe this if you told others about it?
But this was written in the military newspaper. No one in Bingzhou dared to take credit for something else in the military newspaper, and the Military Control Commission would verify it. If it was false, someone would die.
The fact that this military report could be sent into the palace had obviously been confirmed by the Military Control Commission.
Yan Yan actually didn't quite believe it, but when the "Zhenwu Sword" sent by Master Xu appeared in front of him, he had to believe it.
Because the appearance and patterns of this sword are almost exactly the same as the one he saw in the dark that the Great Emperor Zhenwu used to cut off the Holy Grail.
"Let's prepare for the coronation ceremony!" Yan Yan no longer cared about these auspicious things, mainly because there were too many of them and he had become numb to them.
With the title of emperor confirmed, there were many things that needed to be changed in Bingzhou.
The first step was to enshrine Emperor Xuanwu in temples in various counties. The second step was to change the Bingzhou totem and establish Xuanwu as the totem of Bingzhou.
In fact, Yan Yan had long been fed up with the black tripod on the Bingzhou banner.
Who goes to war with a huge tripod to throw at people?
Moreover, with so many grassland kings surrendering, Bingzhou had to set up more than seven or eight counties at once, and then allocate county soldiers, officials, etc.
There are so many things.
As for the King of Donghu and the Prime Minister of Donghu, after several court meetings, they decided to send the two back to Donghu. Of course, Donghu also paid a huge price to redeem the two.
Thinking of this, Yan Yan felt a headache. There were too many newly added counties and prefectures at one time, and the county officials had to be selected by him, so Yan Yan was very busy.
"Yan, Wei, and Chu have formed an alliance!" However, no matter how busy he was, Yan Yan still had to meet Ying Zheng. He couldn't let the King of Qin come from afar in person and be left aside by him.
Then, Ying Zheng became stunned.
Not only did he kidnap the talented man from the Great Qin, but he even forced me to work for him?
Ying Zheng was really speechless. He was dragged by Yan Yan to review the memorials from Bingzhou, and then help determine the establishment of new counties and help select officials.
"As expected!" Ying Zheng was not at all surprised by the alliance of the three families.
As long as the three major princes were not stupid, they would know that it would be difficult for them to compete with Qin with their own strength. "They are planning to attack Qi together. Does the King of Qin know?" Yan Yan continued to talk about things that Ying Zheng did not understand.
"Huh? Do they want to die so much?" Ying Zheng paused while reviewing the memorials.
He could guess that Yan, Wei, and Chu were allied, but wasn't the alliance to resist Qin? What was the purpose of attacking Qi? As if Qin no longer existed?
Qin is in the west and Qi is in the east. If the coalition forces attack Qi, aren't they afraid of being attacked from both sides?
This isn't the way to die, is it?
"The alliance is signed with Chu as the head of the treaty. Then, the Chu envoy Li Yuan came to see me!" Yan Yan continued to review the memorial without raising his head.
Ying Zheng thought about it for a while, and then understood that the State of Chu had been fooled by Bing Jun.
"What are they thinking? Is there any doubt as to how Bingzhou will choose between dividing the world into five parts and dividing it into two parts?" Ying Zheng also had the same idea as Yan Yan.
Mo Ya and the attendant officer were both surprised. They were indeed two kings with a close relationship and even their thoughts were on the same channel.
"Some people just can't recognize themselves!" Yan Yan smiled and shook his head, and continued, "Chu, Yan, and Wei sent 300,000 dan of grain to Bingzhou, and then I asked the foreign minister to inform Qi, and Qi sent another 400,000 dan to Bingzhou."
"..."The corners of Ying Zheng's mouth twitched. Yan, Wei, and Chu were fooled by Bingzhou.
They thought Bingzhou would help them contain the State of Qin, and even paid the commission first. However, who would have thought that Bingzhou was still not satisfied, and sold it to Qi State, and then made the wealthy State of Qi bleed heavily to avoid disaster.
"Hmm?" Yan Yan looked up at Ying Zheng in confusion.
"Hmm?" Ying Zheng looked at Yan Yan in confusion, not knowing what Yan Yan meant.
"I sold this information to the King of Qin. Doesn't the King of Qin plan to make a contribution?" Yan Yan stated his intention directly.
"If Qin is unwilling to go, Bingzhou will really have to take action to stop it!" Yan Yan said with a smile.
Ying Zheng looked at Yan Yan, somewhat speechless. He had been thinking too simply. How could Bing Jun, a cunning businessman, just sell the same item in two different ways? He was definitely taking advantage of three parties.
"One hundred thousand shi, is that too much?" Ying Zheng sighed.
Bingzhou does not necessarily need to go to war with the Qin State. Just following from a distance, without creating any friction, can make the Qin generals feel fearful.
Therefore, the Qin State also has to pay this money!
"Thank you, King Qin, for your generosity!" Yan Yan grinned.
Now the food and grass for the eight newly established counties are available. As expected, in times of crisis, we can trust the State of Chu.
When it comes to timely rain, who can compare to the State of Chu!
"When Fan Li and Tao Zhugong see you, they will have to stand up from the Temple of the God of Wealth and give you their seats!" Ying Zheng said unhappily.
Yan Yan smiled but said nothing. Since someone was offering him money, there was nothing he could do.
"But we still have to cooperate with Bingzhou to put on a show. Otherwise, if we take the benefits and do nothing, it will affect the reputation of Bingzhou if it gets out!" Yan Yan continued, and then threw a military intelligence report to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng took a look and saw that Bingzhou was planning to hold a military exercise in Beidi County.
Then they understood that this was just a show for Yan, Wei and Chu, and they would not really send troops.
