Ji Prefecture was filled with disheartened and wounded soldiers. Not long ago, the 70,000 strong army was dispersed by Ran Min. More than 20,000 people were killed and wounded. The Yin King, Shi Kun, who escaped to Jizhou, had to stay here for the time being. He didn't know what to do next.

In the previous Ji Province, the plaque had now been replaced with the [You Yin King's Mansion]. It really did look out of place. At this time, Shi Kun was sitting in the meeting room and throwing a tantrum. The subordinates on both sides of the hall were standing there fearfully, and no one dared to persuade him, for fear of angering him and causing trouble for themselves.

Seeing that no one said anything, Shi Kun became even angrier, he threw another clay cup, pointed at the crowd and shouted angrily: "Why aren't you guys talking? Did you think that This King was hopeless? You bunch of waste, useless things! "

Hu Mu respectfully straightened his robe as he walked into the main hall. After a series of troublesome formalities, Shi Kun anxiously asked, "Sir Situ, what are you here for?"

With a respectful expression on his face, he said, "By the order of the great general, I respectfully ask that you be the emperor. "The present watch is here." He took out a yellow silk bundle from his sleeve.

Shi Kun, as the third generation prince after the invasion of the Capricorn race, although his daily life had become more civilized, he still felt a headache when faced with such a troublesome document. He hurriedly said: "Then I'll have to trouble Sir Situ to read it."

Hu Mubai sighed in his heart. The King of Ruyin was neither a tyrant nor a self-aware man. It seemed that the Hu had no more hope. He opened his bag, took out his watch, and respectfully read out, "..." When he finished, he kneeled down and raised the surface of the rune high up in the air with both hands.

Shi Kun was overjoyed and hurriedly took it. Prime Minister Shi Lian hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Hold on, Your Highness. We should discuss this matter slowly." If they were to accept the letter, it would mean that they had agreed to the position of emperor. Would the new king, the God of Stone, agree? Would the generals agree? What if they oppose it, and raise troops against each other? I'm afraid Ran Min did this with ill intentions.

Shi Kun was stunned for a moment, and then became angry in his heart: "Damn you old fogey, you actually want to stop me from doing good deeds?" Although he was furious, he knew that if he were to be angry now, he would only let Situ see a joke. Shi Kun suppressed his anger and said with a gloomy face: "Please come to the inn to rest for the time being, allow me to think about it."

After Hu Mu left, Shi Kun asked with a sullen face, "What do you think?"

The other officials were already used to observing the situation. How could they not know that if they objected at this point, it would be bringing trouble to themselves. They all remained silent. Prime Minister Shi Lian had to bite the bullet and said, "Your Royal Highness, in my opinion, this action of opposing the thief Ran Min is not good. If the king gave up the throne, the new king would probably be furious. How do the people view the prince when they are welcomed by the rebels? "

Shi Lian's words finally extinguished Shi Kun's anger, he thought to himself with regret: [That's right, how could I forget that there is such a damned new king], he suddenly had an idea, and said happily: "What if I attack the new king? Wasn't this what the Jin people said [when two tigers are fighting, do they sit and fight]? "I believe that's what the military declaration said as well. What do you think of this plan of mine?" He was extremely pleased with himself as he looked around.

Some of the officials were silent, while others who were dreaming of being a high-ranking official hurried out, shouting loudly, "My lord, I can't wait." Shi Yan opened his mouth, looking at the excited expression on Shi Kun's face, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

Shi Kun immediately summoned Situ Hun to meet him. Then, he said a few words of refusal to express the courtesy and courtesy he had learned from the Han Chinese. Situ Hun then said calmly, "With your great talent, if you don't immediately assume the throne, I am deeply afraid that the new King will be independent in Xiang Country …"

Shi Kun was shocked, he said: "Sir Situ is right, Sir Situ can choose the auspicious day to hold the grand ceremony."

Hu Mubai accepted the order. As a result, history began to change dramatically.

February 18, Zhaoru Yin King Shi Kun in Jizhou is emperor, the country's name is still Zhao, the annual number will always be. He sent an envoy to pay homage to the new king, Stone, and gave him the title of Duke of Ye, General, and Holiday. Yao Ge Zhong was conferred the title of the new King of Zhao, General Zhenbei, and was appointed the commander of the northern army. The guards in the other areas all rose to third rank.

On the 23rd of February, the new king of the Xiang Kingdom angrily beheaded the envoys sent by Shi Kun. He was preparing to send troops to deal with Shi Kun, but he was afraid that when the enemy attacked him, he would send envoys to Ye City to ask for peace, and at the same time send people to Yao Ge Zhong and Pu Hong to ask for support. The Li Yang is not inferior to Duan Qin, Zhang Shen, Chen Liu's shrine, Liu Yang, Jin Yu, and the stone blasphemous Zhang He Du all came to Jizhou to congratulate the new Emperor on his accession to the throne.

After that, Zhao started from the third emperor, Shi Hu, using slaughter from the same sect as the method to obtain the throne. His sons were not far behind in the use of this method, and often it was the extermination of their entire family. When their disappointment at the temptation of the throne turned into hatred, it made them seem especially brutal.

The new King of Shi and the Yin King, Shi Kun, were both Shi Hu's concubines. They had originally seen others snatch the throne away from them, so they could only stay outside. To suddenly have the opportunity to become emperor on one's own, that sort of desire could not be suppressed by anyone. As for whether or not this position was a deep pit or not, it was very difficult to see. For hundreds of years under the Chinese government in the Central Plains, the greatest official position of the Hu people was that of a general. This belief has filled the people of the steppes outside the Forbidden Land with awe and yearning for this position since time immemorial.

Prairie people have lived in desert for a long time, the living conditions are very bad, the biggest difference between nomadic culture and farming culture is economic. Without strong economic support, it is impossible to produce rich and rich life culture, and life culture is the foundation of human beings' natural enjoyment desire. The poor living environment and backward economy also lead to the restriction of the nomadic people's population growth. The population number directly affects the overall strength, which is the basis of the ruler's right to enjoy. What the Emperor of the Central Plains can enjoy

The rights of nomadic peoples located in desert regions are unattainable. Therefore, it was not hard to understand the strong temptation of the Emperor position to the nomads.

Although the Hu people who had invaded the Central Plains' ruling class had become Han people, only a few of them truly understood the Han culture. Most of the Hu people who had become Han people still believed in the strength of their martial arts on the prairie, and their understanding of schemes and tricks was still only on the superficial surface.

In late February, news came from Ye City: The Grand Chancellor Zhao Shu, the Grand Commandant Zhang Ju, the General of the Central Army Zhang Chun had fled to Jizhou, while Doctor Guang Lu, Shi Yue, the General of the Imperial Guards Zhang Ji, the Marquis, Qing, the School, and Long Teng had all left for Xiangguo without any hindrance. Shi Kun was even more glad that if he was even a bit late in taking the throne, the Minister of the Xiangguo Kingdom would not hesitate to support the Emperor.

In the third month, Shi Kun, who was in the middle of a big building in Jizhou, learned that his messenger had been killed by a new king, so he was furious and sent to Ye City, ordering him to kill the stone god. "If we do not eliminate Duan Qin first, then the other generals will attack the city and become associated with the king. If the generals establish the king as their emperor, then His Majesty will not have a place to stand," Ran Qiang said.

Shi Kun felt that it made sense, so he sent people to ask Yao Gao for troops from Qing He to suppress the stone gods.
