"this......"

When Li Zhen saw that Yan Keqiu was suddenly questioning, his lord often called him to give advice around him, which obviously paid great attention. In addition, Yan Keqiu always proposed advice every time, he could often be very serious, and he was very accurate in scrutinizing and analyzing the current situation, so he was somewhat afraid of him.

However, now that the Tang Dynasty was destroyed, and the two countries of Liang and Shu were elected as emperors, there were suddenly many more kings and princes in the world. Li Zhen could not sit still. Even though he was very clear about some of the disadvantages of Li Tianqu's becoming emperor at this time, he still had to rely on his own eloquence and replied calmly:

"Although the King of Jin has a good deal with the Lord and has shared the same hatred for the enemy because of Zhu Wen, a common enemy, he has always been arrogant and regarded himself as the lord of the coalition forces of the Liang State. However, Jin State has lost territory one after another and is surrounded by strong enemies. Even if the Lord proclaims himself emperor, it will make King of Jin dislike it, but there are no reinforcements outside Jin, and Zhu Wen has been eyeing him, so the King of Jin dares to resign with the Lord? Instead, he has to rely on our army to support him and has to obey;

As for Yang Xingmi, who was originally a king in Anhui, he was called himself the king of Wu, and he was also called Qian Liu, the king of Wu together with Qian Liu in Zhejiang. Moreover, in my opinion, Yang Xingmi may not be very loyal to the Tang court, and he was coveted by powerful enemies such as Zhu Wen, Qian Liu, and Cheng Yi. Even if the lord is called emperor, he still wants to win over our army;

As for the Ziqing Army Wang Shifan, what is the point? He cut off Lai, climbed the two states to our army, and killed Liang's army with great losses, so he could only rely on the lord to rest. Even if Wang Shifan once represented himself as the barrier of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he wanted to save his life. Should he surrender Zhu Wen, who killed the emperor and destroyed the Tang Dynasty, or still rely on the lord who just followed the trend to become emperor? Even if he might be dissatisfied, if there is any abnormal movement, he would immediately kill him to eliminate future troubles, and then take advantage of the situation to win him Qing, Zibo, and Qi... Isn't this easy?"

Li Tianqu frowned slightly when he heard this, and Yan Keqiu shook his head slightly and said:

"Even if those who accomplish great things use no means, in my opinion, there is no need for the lord to bear such stigma in vain than Zhu Wen who is doing everything."

After hearing this, Li Zhen looked anxious and wanted to fight Yan Keqiu. Li Tianqu suddenly spoke and interrupted his words:

"Mr. Wei, since you are willing to help me, the major events you plan today are also crucial. I also need to learn from everyone's opinions, but I don't know how Mr. Wei thinks?"

The eyes of the ministers present also fell on the old man sitting on the side. Just as Li Tianqu expected, Wei Zhuang ran away from Chang'an and joined the Taining Army. Although he politely declined the promotion and appointment at first, he just took the opportunity to watch the situation. However, now, after Emperor Zhaozong of Tang, Li Ye and Emperor Ai of Tang, Li Zhu all were harmed by Zhu Wen, the Tang Dynasty's country and country were cut off... He sighed sadly, and he should still recruit and became a subordinate of Li Tianqu's tent.

When Wei Zhuang heard Li Tianqu’s name, he immediately stood up and saluted. After pondering for a moment, he said:

"Meng's lord is included and appointed, but I'm not long since I first surrendered. Now I see talented people gathered together to discuss, and they have their own opinions, and they didn't intend to make a fool of themselves, but since the lord asked... I thought that lord must be the emperor sooner or later, but it's really too early now. Even if the King of Jin, King of Wu, and King of Ziqing Army King of Zibo was forced to Zhu Wen's great trouble, if the lord was elected emperor, even if he opposed it, it would be inconvenient to break with our army. However, the gap between us and several coalition forces would inevitably deepen. Liang thieves were powerful, so they had to work together and have different intentions, so I was afraid that the thief of Zhu Wen could take advantage of the opportunity.

Now Zhu Wen is like Yu Wen, who killed the Sui Emperor and usurped the throne and established the false Xu Dynasty. He indulged poison and caused disasters, overthrow the country, and was unwilling to heaven and earth, and was angry with the gods. Even if the Tang Dynasty's destiny is difficult to continue... But the lord's lord's conquest for justice and obeys the heaven and the people, and when the time is ripe, he can be called emperor and Jianyuan. Why should he be rushing for a while, but he will be criticized by the world like Wang Jian?"

After hearing Wei Zhuang finish his words, Li Tianqu couldn't help but feel happy, saying that the collapse of the Tang Dynasty had become a fact, and Wei Zhuang's mind would certainly change after irreversible. But according to the historical trajectory, he went south to Shu. After Zhu Wen usurped Tang Jianliang, the old man agreed that Wang Jian had become emperor as soon as possible. As a result, he turned to me and questioned that Wang Jian's choice of opportunity to become emperor was too impatient.

However, Li Tianqu was also very clear that his strategic situation was completely different from the founding emperor of the former Shu Kingdom. Wang Jian was far away in Bashu, guarding the natural danger of Shu Road but was unable to fight to the Central Plains. Whether he was king or emperor, Zhu Wen and Li Ke fought with each other, and had no time to pay attention to him for a long time; but his own forces were in the most intense position of fighting for hegemony, and every move was closely related to the direction of the battle between United Jin and Wu against Zhu Wen. Of course, it was impossible to be as secure as Wang Jian and do whatever he wanted.

Wei Zhuang prescribed the right medicine and proposed a suggestion that he would be different from identifying with Wang Jian as the emperor in response to my situation. This also proved that he had already determined his mind and put himself in his shoes and gave me advice...

At this time, Zhang Juhan suddenly stood up and said:

"Now the lord ruled the vassals like a country, but it was like an emperor. Even if he was called emperor and Jianyuan, he would only set up the emperor's title, country name, year name, and reorganized the Yashi Office into the palace, and changed the yellow robe to set up the court officials. What kind of real benefits can it be said? Instead, it would arouse the hostility of King Jin and King Wu towards our army.

To achieve hegemony, strength is based on false reputation. I think that the lord can be called king first, and one day, wait for the lord to destroy it... or severely defeat the Liang thieves, which will shock the world to obey. Then, the superiors will follow the will of heaven, the subordinates will follow the hearts of the people, and the emperor will be the emperor and the country will be established. Isn't it also to follow the trend?"

Zhang Juhan, who was originally a loyal faction in the Tang Dynasty, would say this, which means that when the time is right, he would apology to replace the Tang court and become emperor. Even though Luo Yin still planned to revive the Tang Dynasty, he knew that it was too unrealistic to search for descendants of the Li family of the Tang Dynasty to support him. But at least, Zhang Juhan and Luo Yin would also ask Li Tianqu to do their best to destroy the Zhu Wen and Liang Dynasty that subverted the Tang Dynasty. This was also the last remembrance of the court they had been loyal to.

Immediately afterwards, Gao Yu, Zhang Quanyi, Li Xun, Du Xunhe and others also proposed to express their opinions. Basically, most of them had the opinions: first be king, then slowly be emperor. Seeing Li Tianqu nodded slowly and suddenly stood up, everyone in the hall looked at him immediately. No matter what suggestions they made, the expressions of the ministers present could not help but become solemn.

"I have already had a lot of concerns about whether to be emperor or not...."

Li Tianqu said a long time, then said:

"Whether I proclaimed the emperor or not, Zhu Wen also coveted the territory under my rule. He was determined to eat our army. Sooner or later, we will face a more violent attack from the Liang army. But the time for becoming emperor is indeed not yet ripe. King Jin and King Wu have not yet established the Yuan Dynasty and the country. I will proclaim myself first? In what name will I communicate with them in the future? What will they react if the King Jin and King Wu bow down and submit to their subordinates?

Of course, with Zhu Wen's current momentum, it is undoubtedly a dream to destroy Liang State. However, we must also concentrate our military forces to fight, and the efforts of King Jin and King Wu are absolutely indispensable during this period. We must make the fight a setback that will hurt Zhu Wen, not only to intimidate other forces that are vassalized by Liang State. We must also let the people of the world understand that our army is fighting against the rebels of the Tang Dynasty, but also to fight for justice.

I have decided to proclaim the king and establish the country first. Since the battle with Zhu Wen will last for a long time, during this period, you must unite and strengthen your strength and attack the states under the rule of Liang. Just wait for Zhu Wen's power to decline greatly and then plan to become emperor!"

Li Zhen saw that Li Tianqu was firm, and most of the ministers present suggested to be king first. He still had some unwilling thoughts that he would plan to fight against Zhu Wen. When the strength of Liang State dropped sharply, but I would have to wait for a few years before I could compete for the success of the Dragon... But Li Zhen had the sensibility and knew that he would insist on lobbying at this time. Not only would everyone present look at him, but it would definitely make Li Tianqu dislike him.

Therefore, no matter how unwilling he was, Li Zhen had to admit it, thinking that he had to wait, so he asked Li Tianqu again:
Chapter completed!
