Chapter 319 The New King of Chu
"General Meng, the hat on my head is so heavy. Can I not wear it?"
Mi Tong's little hand touched the crown on his head and shook it around, which was very uncomfortable.
Mi Tong has never worn such a luxurious and heavy hat when he lives so big. The crown of the King of Chu is indeed too heavy for Mi Tong, who is only six years old.
"Young Master Mi, you will soon become the King of Chu and call yourself a nickname."
Meng Tian squatted down and straightened the crown on Mi Tong's head again: "On ordinary times, if you don't want to wear it, don't wear it, but today is the day you ascend the throne, and you have to show your good image to those who support you."
Finally, Meng Tian tied a ribbon and said with a smile: "After the ceremony is over, you can eat two chicken legs."
"Okay, I'll just be patient."
When Mi Tong thought of eating chicken legs, she almost drooled. For the sake of delicious food, the hat on her head seemed to be tolerant.
Before Chen Ying, Mi Tong could not eat a piece of meat all year round. With Qu Jian, he often picked wax and ate it, having a full meal or a hungry meal. In his impression, since he met General Meng in front of him, he seemed to have no worries about being hungry.
One winter passed, and I ate good rice and meat every day. Mi Tong, who was originally thin bamboo pole, plump at a speed visible to the naked eye. Her little face became plump, and the King of Chu had a good genes. She became a beloved Xiao Zhengtai.
The sunshine after the beginning of spring shines slanted, and a warm feeling rises in the yard.
Mi Tong stood beside Meng Tian, looking towards the south along Meng Tian's sight.
It’s a pity that Mi Tong is still young, and he can only see a vast and blank sky.
"Young Master, the ceremony is about to begin, I'll send you out!"
Outside the hanging flower gate, Jing Su nodded, Meng Tian led Mi Tong, moved slowly, and headed to the schoolyard in front of the General's Mansion.
Meng Tian took a very slow step, and Mi Tong's calves were just enough to keep up.
"Young Master, remember to call yourself a man."
Meng Tian's tone was kind, just like the eldest brother next door. No matter who saw it, he would not think he was domineering and controlled Mi Tong as a puppet.
Promoting Mi Tong as the King of Chu was part of Meng Tian’s grand strategy to destroy Chu.
Mi Tong's value lies in his bloodline, which flows with the blood of the Chu royal family. Meng Tian needs a powerful Chu royal family member.
As the last bloodline of the former King of Chu, from the realization of Mi Tong's entry into Meng Tian, his destiny cannot be controlled by himself.
Meng Tian made up his mind and used a child to realize the plan to differentiate the power of Chu, but on the surface, he gave Mi Tong enough respect.
After conquering Chu, Mi Tong could learn from Confucian scholars' propaganda, voluntarily give up the throne of Chu and go to Xianyang to be a free marquis, which would be enough for his whole life to have food and clothing.
When Qu Jian was dying, he made such a request, and Meng Tian did not intend to break his promise.
After cooperating with Qin, Mi Tong had no way out.
A seven-meter-high earth platform was temporarily built in the schoolyard outside the General's Mansion. On the earth platform, yellow flags were waving, and in the center was placed a throne made of red sandalwood.
In front of the Tutai, nine rows of soldiers were lined up, all wearing yellow Cechu armored clothes.
Directly in front of the army, a big man was holding a three-meter-high hardwood flagpole. Above the flagpole, an apricot yellow flag fluttered in the wind.
The apricot yellow flag is embroidered with a large character "Chu". Below the character "Chu" is the totem phoenix of the Chu people.
People in the Central Plains worship dragons, while people in the south regard phoenixes as their totems, believing that life is reborn in the ashes.
It is precisely because of this belief that the Chu people have a very close heart in their bones and are not afraid of life and death.
Next to the flagpole, there were two rows of court officials, wearing the clothes of ministers of Chu, holding jade scepters in their hands, and showing off.
The ministers on the left are wearing civil servants' dresses, and the leader is Zeng Min.
After walking to Chen Ying, he tried every means to get on the chariot that destroyed Chu. Meng Tian accepted Zeng Min's success. Just after a change of hands, he became the commander of Chu.
Touching the jade scepter in his hand, Zeng Min didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The Chu State's ruler was equivalent to the prime minister of the Central Plains. He had a high position and was powerful and could not be said to be noble. However, the Chu State, where Zeng Min served as the ruler, had no inch of land, and was completely a bamboo basket, empty.
On the right hand side, Sui Yue, who was facing Zeng Min, also shook his head with a wry smile.
Sui Yue is now the leader of the Chu State military general and serves as the Shangzhu State. He only has hundreds of soldiers behind him. No matter how he looks at it, he feels it is a bit unreliable.
The soldiers behind Suiyue were mainly children of Chen County. After the Chu army retreated, some Chen County people who had no settlement had their lives. Seeing Meng Tian recruiting soldiers who could speak Chu language, they followed the situation to join the Qin army.
As for the banner of the Chu army or the banner of the Qin army, these people don’t care much.
Shi, the chief of the army, and Meng Tian promoted the children of Nanjun to serve as the post. Nanjun was included in Qin for fifty years. The people here have long forgotten the memory of Chu.
Qu Teng served as the magistrate of Nanjun County, and he rectified the local erotic customs and rectified the administration of officials, achieving very good results.
The "The Way to Be an Official" published by Qu Teng was widely circulated and even presented to Ying Zheng's seat.
When Meng Tian was in Nanyang, he worked with Qu Teng, and the two worked happily. News came from Xianyang that Ying Zheng planned to transfer Qu Teng to the position of Inner Shinshen after the war to destroy Chu was over.
The promotion is expected, and Qu Teng is now hoping that Meng Tian can successfully conquer and destroy Chu State. Meng Tian wrote a letter asking for the dispatch of soldiers from Nanjun, and Qu Teng naturally strongly supports it.
The new King of Chu Mi Tong climbed to the platform. Looking around, the Chu army standing below the stage was composed of the Qian heads of Nanjun and Chenjun, with a faint shadow of Chu land on its face.
The Chu army formed by Meng Tian for Mi Tong is quite similar.
"The fake King Chu Fu Chu, killed his brother and bullied his sister-in-law, and stole the throne of Chu. If he got it wrong, everyone would be punished..."
After Mi Tong sat down on the throne, Meng Tian unfolded the decree in his hand and read it loudly.
Meng Tian has been practicing martial arts all year round, full of energy and loud voice. In addition, he is condescending, and his voice spreads from afar.
When I was in a military academy in my previous life, the school organized recitation activities every Party and Army Day. Meng Tian had participated in such activities, but although he did not win awards, he learned the skills of ups and downs and full of emotions.
Meng Tian’s decree was actually a manifesto that criticized Fu Chu for causing wrongdoing the country.
"You all here will be pillars of Chu in the future. You can do your best to support the real King of Chu and attack the fake King of Chu Fu Chu."
After reading the edict, Meng Tian took three steps to the left to give up Mi Tong's body.
Mi Tong sat on the throne, sitting cautiously, sitting upright, not daring to move casually, for fear that after moving around, the agreed chicken legs would be gone.
"Support the real King of Chu and attack the fake King of Chu!"
Zeng Min, Sui Yue, raised the jade scepter in his hand and took the lead in shouting.
"Support the real King of Chu and attack the fake King of Chu!"
······
Soon, there were earth-shaking shouts on the school ground.
Mi Tong, the bloodline of the former King of Chu Xiong Han, ascended the throne and became the King of Chu who stood together with Fu Chu.
Meng Tian waved his hand gently, and the shouting came to an abrupt end. He turned around and nodded slightly to Mi Tong.
Mi Tong bit her lip, and her tender voice slowly spread: "Loyal ministers are always here, and I am very pleased. The fake Chu King Fu Chu is blessed and attacked and killed my father, and this revenge must be avenged. Now I have officially issued a request, begging General Meng Tian to send troops to help me attack and destroy the fake Chu King!"
