When Liu Bang returned to the mansion, he was in a mixed mood. After all, with the title of king, the burden on his body would be much heavier. If he could not come to everyone's expectations, it would be scolded by thousands of people.

Just as Liu Bang thought about it, the eunuch also came to the mansion under Xiao He's guidance, presented the seal and ribbon of the King of Han, and also a silk book, which was temporarily read by Xiao He.

His words said: "The Emperor of Chu issued an edict that I had risen from the last moment, and only then did I get the spirit of my ancestors and the strength of my ministers. Although Qin has not yet been destroyed, the land of Chu has returned thousands of miles away. I am very lucky!"

"The land of Kuaiji is where the people come to the hearts of the people. The general raised an army from Pei County. In order to restore the country, he came to gather his rituals. He was so worried that the land within his ability was the territory of Chu. He was envious of all the left and right half a year."

"Although I have no virtue, I know the merits and demerits and rewards. Now I have lost my territory and I have won it. The general has returned triumphantly. I have served him with a banquet. This is one of the etiquette. I have granted him an official title. He is the second etiquette. Now I am appointed as the King of Han. His fief is 1,500 households. He can set up a hundred officials and officials, exempt him from court ceremony, and add six qualities."

Liu Bang hurriedly accepted the eunuch and left the eunuch, leaving Xiao He alone in the mansion to discuss matters. Although Liu Bang had great ambitions, the matter of being named king was too serious, and it was the first time that Emperor Chu had appointed a king since he ascended the throne. Xiang Yu would be angry when he learned about it, and he might have done anything. The most urgent task should be to add a title to Xiang Ji and be named the king.

Xiao He took a sip of warm tea, seemed to understand what Liu Bang meant, and whispered in a low voice: "Yesterday, I should not be a king. If I were a marquis, it would be a good thing."

"It's not my will, but Wu Qi advised me, and he is also the king, so what can I say?" Liu Bang waved his hand.

Xiao He sighed slightly, "Hey, his name is king, but he is just a noble and a minister. However, if the king is king, he has military power, he will inevitably cause disaster!"

"For the current plan, it is to transfer the disaster to Xiang Ji. As the Lord thought, Xiang Ji was the king, and the Lord was the second, then all matters would not be worrying."

Liu Bang agreed very much, "It's just that Xiang Ji should be the king?"

At this moment, Wu Qi also came from outside and whispered loudly: "The King of Han talks about the title of the king, and only talks with sir, not with my King of Changsha?"

Seeing this, Liu Bang quickly stood up and saluted, "I am not considering it well, so I'll do it, and I'll help you solve my doubts and give me the title of Xiangji."

Wu Qi smiled and then said slowly: "The King of Han is not as polite as a polite person. He was in Kuaiji and was very familiar with etiquette. The ancients said that the kings had different positions and they still need to be carefully selected."

"Since ancient times, the Holy Emperor and the Ming King had a king. If there was a world, there would be a national title. Just as the Yi Emperor used Chu, Xiang Ji's son could not bear it. For example, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were used as national titles, and they were probably the emperor and the heavenly title. They were virtues and virtues, and they were not responsible for wars, and they were respected and had a world. Although Qin and Chu were used, their names did not match the reality."

Liu Bang and others heard this and all said, "After the emperor, there were three kings, which were Xia, Shang and Zhou. King Dayu of Xia, King Dayu of Xia, followed by 19 kings, 23 years of Sibai, Emperor Ku of Yin, 31 kings, 6, 29 years of Zhou, King Ji Chang of Zhou, 36 kings, and 8,666 years of the country. These three kings are diligent and thrifty, advocating benevolence and righteousness, benevolence and righteousness, benevolence and good life, and are dedicated to the people, working hard to control water, praying for rain, and conquering Zhou to save the world. These are all the virtues of the three kings. Do you think Xiang Ji's children are worthy of?"

Xiao He immediately waved his hand and said, "The name does not match the reality, can be called king, it is slightly insufficient, can be used in ancient times, and is not in line with the present."

"That's right, there are five hegemons under the king, Duke Huan of Qi, Duke Xiang of Song, Duke Mu of Qin, Duke Wen of Jin, Duke Zhuang of Chu. These five hegemons will eliminate cruelty in the world and each dominate the country. They are like today's military officials, Han Guang and Tian Zhan. They are just benevolent and righteous, powerful and powerful, and everyone is afraid of this. Is this okay?"

After hearing what Wu Qi said, Liu Bang was quite satisfied, "This title is very powerful. If you give it to Xiang Ji, he will be very happy. The title of the king is in line with the present, but it has not been completed. The title of the king is in the past, but it is not in line with the present. He was born in Chu and was in the north of Huai to become the Western Chu. We report to Your Majesty to become the King of Xiang Ji. Is it OK?"

"It's great, I just don't know if Emperor Chu is allowed?" Wu Qi said with some concern.

"I don't have to worry about this. I think it's a great achievement to let Your Majesty divide the rule of Pei Gong and Xiang Liang. Now that things have come to this point, how can you stop it? Let's continue to do it." Xiao He said casually.

Wu Qi was quite embarrassed, "Sir, why bother to say it out loud? I'm ashamed. Since that's the case, I'll say goodbye first and report that Your Majesty respects Xiang Ji as a king and avoids the trouble of being a king of Han."

"Wu Changsha is really coming and going!" Liu Bang said as he looked at his back.

Seeing this, Xiao He asked with some concern: "Now he has been awarded the title of Xiang Ji, but he will not be granted the title of Xiang Liang, how can he feel?"

Liu Bang next to him took a sip of warm tea and his face was very calm, "Sir, don't know that although Xiang Liang was the prime minister, he was just a general of Xiang Yan in the past. How could he be more noble than Xiang Ji?"

"Even if Xiang Ji was the emperor in the future, Xiang Liang would not dare to stop him. He always regarded Xiang Ji as his respect. Otherwise, he would not have let Xiang Ji go to such a key place as Pengcheng. Instead, he stayed in Dingtao. Yan, Zhao and Wei faced the enemy. Xiong Xin was just a pawn in his eyes!"

"It should be so, but will this book accept this honor?" Xiao He asked immediately.

"Let's see, I heard that Fan Zeng is still in Pengcheng, so things are hard to say." Liu Bang said with some confidence.

Although the Emperor of Chu was a little unwilling at this time, he still granted Xiang Ji the King of Chu. In addition, after Liu Bang was appointed as King of Han, he moved directly between Lingbi and Linjiang, which could be regarded as occupying the gateway of Chu.

In Pengcheng, Xiang Yu was training his soldiers. Suddenly, he heard that an eunuch came to Kuaiji and sneered, "The Emperor of Chu still knows that there is my Xiang family."

Since the eunuch came, Xiang Yu had to receive him in the city. Seeing him carrying a seal and an edict, he looked slightly surprised, "You are coming from Kuaiji, what important things do Your Majesty have to give?"

The eunuch saw Xiang Yu's fierce and evil spirit, and hurriedly delivered the edict to Fan Zeng, "I would like to read it out. I'm sorry, I'll forgive me."

Fan Zeng took the silk book and seal, and knew the meaning, and then placed the seal in front of Xiang Yu, "I report to the general, this is the king's seal, I believe that Your Majesty will give the general the king."

Xiang Yu was quite happy about fame and fortune, and said happily when he heard this: "Which king is written in the silk book?"

Fan Zeng did not dare to neglect, so he immediately unveiled the silk book. His words said: "The Emperor of Chu ordered that, now he inherited the decree of heaven and inherited the great throne, which was entirely due to the virtue of a general. Therefore, he was granted the title of King of Western Chu, and he could be appointed as the Lord of Ministers and officials."

"It turns out to be the King of Western Chu, and this name is very powerful!" Xiang Yu sighed immediately.

But Fan Zeng disagreed and immediately sent the eunuch away, the maid and slave next to him. Seeing this, Xiang Yu frowned and said, "It is a good thing that the Emperor of Chu now named him the King of Western Chu. Why is this so sir?"

"It's not a good thing. The edict says that it was King Wu Qi of Changsha and King Liu Bang of Han jointly recommended the general as the King of Western Chu. His heart was not sincere, and the king's title was not required!"

Even Zhou Lan and others did not understand their intentions, "Old sir, your Majesty is now a happy thing to be granted the title of king, why shouldn't you be granted the title?"
