Every time Ji Zhao received a message from the system, he felt that the blessings of these talents were so powerful that it was terrifying and completely unreasonably powerful.
Ji Lingjun naturally felt the changes between herself and the girl from the Luo family very quickly, which surprised her a little. Then she said with some emotion: "It will be more difficult for the girl from the Luo family to get married in the future."
Ji Zhao understood what Ji Lingjun was saying. He was about to speak when suddenly a purple light flashed before his eyes.
here we go again!
Ji Zhao's face suddenly became solemn. This was not the first time he had seen the purple aura of destiny. This purple aura had flashed across the grassland before.
He had been investigating for a while at that time, but had no clue. Now the sudden appearance of this purple air made Ji Zhao feel that there must be something he didn't know about.
A slightly bad feeling arose in Ji Zhao's heart.
He turned to look at Ji Lingjun and said in a deep voice: "Lingjun, I will be sleeping for a while, or should I say a long time, you can watch over the world by yourself first."
Ji Lingjun nodded, with a hint of curiosity and worry in her eyes. She had never seen her ancestor with this expression before.
Ji Zhao fell backwards, and the flower petals in the sky instantly enveloped him.
Ji Zhao's figure disappeared completely. He was still in deep sleep, but his consciousness and soul went to the lowest level of that world.
This time he must find out what is going on. He clearly offset the purple energy, so why did it still appear?
…
The former Yecheng of Jizhou.
The current capital of Zhao State is Yecheng.
After Yuan Shao and Yan Lin exchanged letters of credence, they sent envoys to deliver the letters to the princes of the world, although both of them knew that those princes would definitely reject the letters.
Yan and Zhao are now in a state of mutual recognition and self-development. Unless there are more countries in the world who claim to be kings or emperors and then recognize each other's thrones like the Zhou Dynasty did, then the emperor of Yan and the throne of Zhao will be officially recognized.
Yuan Shao and Yan Lin drew a boundary in the area of Youzhou that was easy to defend but difficult to attack. For the time being, neither of them had the ability to attack the other.
Yuan Shao led his army back to Yecheng.
He first gave rewards to the soldiers in Hebei according to his original promise. These rewards must not be embezzled, otherwise the newly established Zhao State would be completely destroyed.
Although the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, the atmosphere in Zhao was still very good because Yuan Shao's rewards and pensions were very generous.
In the present-day Zhao Palace.
A group of Hebei officials sat there in a slightly strange atmosphere. Although they had to become kings, now that they were kings, things would be different from before.
All kinds of etiquette of the princes must be added.
All the ministers of the princes must be talented.
In particular, the State of Zhao was not a vassal state under the emperor, but a real kingdom like that in the Warring States Period.
All kinds of official titles are very important. How can this not make the officials in Hebei have different thoughts about each other?
Although Beijia Shigong has a high status, he is a minor official after all. If he were the Prime Minister of Zhao, it would be completely different. The current Prime Minister of Zhao may not be the real Prime Minister the next day.
Luo Mansion.
Zhen Mi touched the scar on Luo Yan's chin with heartache, tears falling one by one. She could imagine how difficult the situation was at that time. She was just one step away from becoming a widow. "My dear, next time my father goes to war, can you please not go with him?"
Luo Yan held Zhen Mi's hand tightly and said in a deep voice: "Mi'er, no, Zhao State has just been established. Whether it is Cao Cao or Liu Bei, the documents of reprimand may arrive soon, and then there will be a war between Cao Cao and Liu Bei.
This is a life-and-death war for Hebei. If we cannot defeat Cao Cao and Liu Bei, the newly established Zhao State may be destroyed. At that time, how will we deal with it? "
Zhen Mi sighed, she was too worried, and could only say firmly: "If anything happens to you on the battlefield, I will follow you and will never let you die alone.
I just hope that when my beloved is fighting on the battlefield, he will still remember Zhen Mi and your children at home."
As she spoke, she reached out and stroked her slightly flat belly. Luo Yan held her hand and said softly, "Don't worry, Mi'er. Your husband will be careful. Let's go to the palace quickly."
Luo Yan and Zhen Mi took a carriage to the palace.
After Yuan Shao became king, because he was not a vassal of the Han Dynasty but a completely independent vassal, he directly conferred the title of Princess Wuji on Zhen Mi and gave the entire Wuji County to Zhen Mi.
Wuji County is where the Zhen family lives. Yuan Shao gave Wuji County to Zhen Mi as a fiefdom, which was a great effort.
This kind of political status means that Zhen Mi is truly treated as one of his own. All the officials in Hebei know that Luo Yan has a big part to play in this, but for Zhen Mi, this is still a great courtesy.
Luo Yan and Zhen Mi are both very grateful people, and have completely regarded Yuan Shao as their father. Yuan Shao treats Luo Yan and Zhen Mi with sincerity in everything, and this has achieved the best results.
When the two of them arrived in front of the palace in the carriage, the ministers from Hebei who arrived later surrounded them and saluted Luo Yan, the prince consort, and Zhen Mi, the only princess of the Zhao State.
The two of them walked into the palace hall, and all the ministers also saluted Luo Yan and Zhen Mi, even Ju Shou and Shen Pei were no exception.
This is the change after becoming king.
Before Yuan Shao proclaimed himself king, there was no particularly obvious distinction between the emperor and his subjects in Hebei.
Although Ju Shou and others were all ministers of Yuan Shao, they generally did not call themselves "ministers" but directly called themselves by their own names.
If Yuan Shao's sons like Zhen Mi and Yuan Tan were to be given face, they would naturally be addressed with respectful titles, such as Shao Jun.
But if you don't give face, you can really call someone by their name, but generally speaking, no one would be so ignorant of etiquette.
But now Yuan Shao is the King of Zhao, this is a complete difference between the ruler and his subject.
Yuan Shao's status has been greatly improved, and the biggest change is for Yuan Shao's family.
In the past, everyone was a subject of Yuan Shao alone, but now everyone is a subject of the Yuan family.
For Yuan Shao's sons and others, there was a distinction between the ruler and his subjects.
There are many changes among them. The founding of a country has never been a simple matter of changing the name. As one of the biggest planners of the founding system, Luo Yan is the one who understands these most deeply.
Yes.
As the son of the Luo family who is recognized as the one who understands etiquette the best, Luo Yan was appointed by Yuan Shao as the chief ambassador of Zhao's construction the moment the State of Zhao was actually founded, to be responsible for building a complete official system suitable for the current state of Zhao.
The current Zhao State can neither copy the original dynasty system nor change it. After all, it is just a kingdom now. If it is really established as a dynasty, it would be too redundant.
However, Yuan Shao was unwilling to establish Zhao State in the same way as the vassal kingdoms of the Han Dynasty, as that would not show that Zhao State was an independent kingdom from the Han Dynasty.
Since he had taken such a huge risk to become king, Yuan Shao naturally wanted to do it to perfection.
Luo Yan read through many books to find a more appropriate name for the official position in Zhao State.
He was most familiar with the various factions within the State of Zhao, and the official system he established must also enable Yuan Shao to better balance the issues between the various factions.
This is a test of no small magnitude for him.
The real test is where he fits into the system.
His current identity is very complicated. He has a hand in both the civil and military sides, but he does not hold any official position at present. After the war with the State of Yan, Luo Yan has been unemployed at home, with only a title of the Duke of Yu.
But although his official position was idle, his work was not idle. Luo Yan guessed that Yuan Shao wanted to ask himself what type of job he wanted to do.
The Hebei faction and the Yingchuan faction in the palace are no longer as clearly divided as they were in the past. After all, the current situation in Zhao State is not good enough to allow for internal strife.
After the Youzhou War, Hebei did grow stronger, but it was not strong enough to sweep away everything.
The entire Jizhou, most of Qingzhou, and half of Youzhou, this is the current territory of Zhao State.
In terms of strength, he is naturally the undisputed number one prince in the world, with both cavalry and infantry, the largest population, the most food, and vast plains.
It is temporarily impossible for Yan State and Bingzhou Lu Bu to attack Zhao State.
On the surface, it seems invincible.
But only they themselves know the real situation. Now the State of Zhao has become a politically isolated island, and Lu Bu dare not directly assist the State of Zhao for the time being.
Yan State has a wolfish nature and it is hard to say when it will attack Zhao State. Although there are mountains and rivers blocking Zhao State in the north now, it is still a threat.
The most serious situation was between Cao Cao and Liu Bei in the south. This top-ranked prince in the world was in a complete fight with the State of Zhao, and there was no room for easing.
Everyone knew that war would break out, but no one knew when Cao Cao and Liu Bei would be ready.
The strength of the three states of Yuzhou, Yanzhou and Xuzhou is not inferior to that of Zhao State!
"The King has arrived!"
Following a loud voice, everyone sat down solemnly!
————
Yuan Shao usurped the throne of a fake state. His ministers requested that a prince be appointed as the crown prince. Shao could not decide, so he appointed Zhen Mi as the eldest princess and Luo Yan as the prince consort. This caused unrest in the fake Zhao. ——"Book of Wei: The Biography of General Yuan"
