Chapter 2200: Preparation before proclaiming emperor (Part 2)

Jia Xu spoke nonchalantly for more than ten minutes, but his meaning could be explained in just one sentence. That is, the time is now ripe and all obstacles have been removed. My lord, it is really time for you to become emperor. If you continue to delay, the following is All civil and military ministers will have opinions.

If someone else had said this, Qin Hao would have refused hypocritically, but the person who said it was his uncle Jia Xu, and it was not in public, so Qin Hao naturally had no need to cover it up.

After Qin Hao pondered for a while, he said: "Being emperor is not a child's play. If you take this step, you can never look back, so..."

Jia Xu thought that Qin Hao had not yet made up his mind, and was about to persuade him, but Qin Hao suddenly changed the topic and said, "I will leave all the matters before proclaiming the emperor to you, uncle.

Zixu is relieved when his uncle is doing things. "

Jia Xu was overjoyed when he heard this. He had planned so much for this moment, so he quickly knelt down and said, "Thank you for your trust, my lord. If there are any mistakes, I will come and see you."

After Jia Xu left, Qin Hao immediately stopped smiling, and a dangerous look flashed in his eyes.

He knew that Jia Xu was loyal to him and had no objections, but his uncle's status had made him pampered and pampered, to the point where he had to beat him.

“It seems we need to find a deputy for Jia Xu.” Qin Hao said to himself.

Even before he ascended the throne, Qin Hao had already thought about limiting his rights for a long time. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he turned against others and refused to recognize others. However, this was exactly the emperor's mentality. Thinking like this only proved that Qin Hao had grown up.

　　——————

 What preparations are needed before proclaiming himself emperor? First of all, building momentum is inevitable.

 Before, it was different from proclaiming a king. Proclaiming a king only required the support of the majority of courtiers, but proclaiming an emperor required the support of the people across the country.

Qin Hao has always acted as a loyal minister before. Even if other princes sneered at him, the people at the bottom still believed him.

If he suddenly proclaims himself emperor without any foreshadowing, the contrast between before and after will be so great that the people at the bottom will definitely not be able to accept it, and the character set up before will be destroyed.

 Therefore, a propaganda process is needed to tell the people at the bottom to adapt, accept and support Qin Hao's proclaimed emperor.

After hearing the news that Qin Hao might proclaim himself emperor, the people had only three reactions, one was support, the other was opposition, and the third was just sitting back and waiting to take advantage of him.

 The Han Dynasty has long lost the support of the people. Even in the imperial capital Luoyang, few people still think of the Han Dynasty.

Given Qin Hao’s achievements, long-term accumulation of prestige and merit, and his kindness to the people, the vast majority of the people must support him in becoming emperor.

As for the opposition, they have been basically eliminated. They have neither the right to speak nor the power, so how can they oppose it?

Therefore, for Qin Hao, this campaign will definitely be successful, and then he will just wait for the people to dethrone him as the emperor. In this way, the negative impact of seeking to usurp the throne will be minimized.

When the vast majority of the people support Qin Hao's proclaimed emperor, then the next step is the support of officials, big and small, from all over the country. They are the real core of the country.

Political liquidation is the most cruel, and even Yue Fei almost couldn't survive it.

With the complete annihilation of the imperial party, the Qin army's territories above the county level are basically Qin Hao's people, and those below the county level are too small, so they can be ignored.

The country is also composed of individuals. With the support of the people of the world and all the officials, Qin Hao naturally has the whole world. The general trend is that he does not want to be emperor.

Jia Xu is quite familiar with building momentum. After all, it was he who created the momentum for Qin Hao to become king. Now he is just repeating it.

Jia Xu’s main focus on this campaign is three points:

First, Liu Xie died and the Han Dynasty was exhausted. He focused on promoting the dark and brutal Han Dynasty and the fable of "Liu, the one who destroyed the Han Dynasty". Second, Qin Hao's various contributions to the country and the people, focusing on promoting reforms and promoting new grain varieties, and People's lives are better now than during the Han Dynasty.

Three, Qin Hao is the real destiny, focusing on publicizing some of his personal deeds, various auras of his identity, and implicitly pointing out that his ancestors also have royal blood, and it is natural for the Han Dynasty to stand on its own;

 There is no such thing as a public opinion war at this time, but Jia Xu is self-taught and is really professional in manipulating public opinion.

In just ten days, the vast majority of people in the four counties of Sizhou, nine counties of Bingzhou, nine counties of Jizhou, ten counties of Youzhou, four counties of Qingbei, four counties of Jingbei, three counties of Hetao, and 43 counties in seven regions Everyone knew the above three pieces of news, which started a national discussion on whether to change the government.

 Luoyang, Tongfu Inn, a group of diners gathered together, and they were discussing each other.

 “Have you heard that the little emperor passed away?”

 “This is old news, who doesn’t know it?”

"Let me tell you, this little emperor died well. Look at the emperors from his old Liu family, each one is more useless than the other."

"Yes, this little emperor is only a teenager, but he wants to seize power through a coup, and even colludes with the Tang thieves. He doesn't even think about Li Shimin being the son-in-law of the Dong thieves."

"Don't talk nonsense. The imperial court has issued official documents. The coup was done by the imperial party. The little emperor was just coerced."

 “Ah, what a fool, who doesn’t know that Kong Rong, Ma Rixi, Yang Jun and others are the little emperor’s loyal supporters?”

"That is to say, His Highness the King of Qin is nostalgic for his old friendship. Even if he is betrayed by his brother-in-law who helped him up with his own hands, he still has to consider the reputation of the little emperor after his death."

Seeing that these people were getting more and more outrageous, shopkeeper Tong Xiangyu couldn't sit still any longer, so he walked over and activated the Hedong Lion's Roar.

"Shut up, I dare to talk about government affairs like this. You are too long-lived, right?"

Tong Xiangyu is well-known for her shrewdness. All the guests present were regular guests of Tongfu Inn. Naturally, they did not dare to continue, so they couldn't help laughing. After she left, they started discussing in a low voice.

Tong Xiangyu was angry and helpless when she saw this. This was not the first time. People were discussing this in her store every day. Even a woman like her could feel that something was obviously wrong with this atmosphere and something big was going to happen.

At the dinner table, Ye Qingmei, who was disguising herself as a man and looking heroic, was drinking. Seeing this scene, she smiled and said to Tong Xiangyu: "Shopkeeper Tong, you are more protective of the people than Fang Chuan. How can you not stop them?" ”

"well."

Tong Xiangyu sighed, and then asked in a low voice: "Sister Gongsun, you are a person who has seen the world and is well-informed. Can you tell me whether King Qin will really become the emperor?"

Ye Qingmei looked at Tong Xiangyu with interest and asked: "Does the shopkeeper hope that King Qin will become emperor?"

 “Of course I hope.”

Tong Xiangyu said without hesitation.

“Sister Gongsun, you ladies don’t know how heavy the taxes were before the King of Qin came to power. The people’s life was miserable. They had to eat one meal but not another, and they were very precarious. They were worried every day.

 After King Qin came to power, he not only reduced taxes, but also reformed and exempted all excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes. This day can be considered promising.

After that, the King of Qin allowed the people to plant high-yielding grain seeds, and the grain harvest increased. No one had to worry about running out of food, and the common people finally lived a decent life.

 Let me tell you, sister, I have met the King of Qin. He is a real hero who cares about the people. If he becomes the emperor, the lives of us ordinary people will definitely get better and better in the future. "
