Chapter 574: Enthroned as Emperor (Part 1)

Lu Bu nodded and said, "I agree!"

Lin Qing turned around and gave orders, and soon a soldier brought more than a dozen representatives of the masses.

These representatives of the masses are all gray-haired old men, and they are all prestigious in Nanjing.

When these representatives of the masses saw Lu Bu, they looked excited and solemnly performed the bowing ceremony in the nine bows of the Zhou Li.

The bowing ceremony is the most solemn type of worship in ancient times. When performing a ceremony, the tributer bends his knees and kneels, presses his left hand on his right hand, and puts his right hand on the ground in front of his knees.

The next step is to kowtow, and the head must be knocked on the back of the hand, and stay for a while to show respect. Because the jing itself means pause.

The bowing ceremony is often used by ministers when they pay homage to the king. Later, the son worships his father, worships the heaven and the gods, newlyweds worship their parents, worships ancestors and temples, worships teachers, worships tombs, etc., and also uses this great ceremony.

Therefore, when the minister saw the king kneeling, it started from the Zhou Dynasty, and it was not the later generations of Braids and Army entering the pass.

Of course, the previous kneeling was not as frequent as the Braided Army after entering the pass, and they just knelt down at any time.

These representatives of the masses said loudly while bowing: "Caomin waited to see miracles such as the surging golden lotus in the governor's mansion last night. This is a sign that God wants Lord Wen to be the emperor! The destiny of heaven cannot be violated, so we specially ask for the order to hope Lord Wen will ascend the throne to the emperor! Long live! Long live!"

Hearing these representatives of the masses, Lu Bu couldn't help but ask in wonder: "Where is the golden lotus surging, and the wutong tree is offering words, why don't I know?"

The representatives of the masses couldn't help but say, "Mr. Wen, I think he is a noble and unwilling to be emperor! That's why God brought down miracles and let us ordinary people see it, so that we can persuade Mr. Wen, please don't refuse! Please Mr. Wen, please proclaim yourself emperor!"

At this time, it was actually time for all the civil and military officials under Lu Bu's tent to show off.

At this time, they must work together and follow them loudly, "I'll be the only way to be the emperor!"

But now these civil and military officials have not yet figured out what Lu Bu is thinking in his heart, and they are afraid that their heads will be chopped down, so no one has come forward to express their first statement.

The scene was a bit cold and seemed quite embarrassing.

Fortunately, not long after, Xun Yu was the first to stand up, kneel down on the ground, and shouted: "Please call him emperor!"

Jia Xu was the second to stand up, kneeled down on the ground, and said loudly: "Please call him emperor!"

With these two people taking the lead, the remaining civil and military officials fell to the ground as if they had taken a pill of peace of mind, and said loudly: "Please call the emperor!"

Lu Bu said with an unhappy expression: "You, you, you are going to trap me in unkindness and justice! Don't talk about this matter anymore. I will not ascend the throne and become emperor!"

At this time, Jia Xu couldn't help but say loudly: "Master, if you don't proclaim yourself emperor, your subordinates will kneel here and not get up! The lord doesn't agree for a day, and the subordinates will not get up for a day. If the lord doesn't agree, the subordinates will be dead!"

Huo!

Jia Xu's voice shocked all the civil and military officials present!

This Jia Xu is indeed shameless!

Needless to say, Jia Xu is definitely the most important thing in persuading the lord to be emperor, and no one can take it away!

With Jia Xu's lead, the remaining civil and military officials immediately learned and used it. He quickly said, "Lord, if you don't proclaim yourself emperor, your subordinates will go on a hunger strike! If you don't proclaim yourself emperor for a day, we won't eat for a day!"

"Lord, if you don't become emperor for a day, we won't eat for a day!"

The following sentence was said by all the civil and military officials, and it was quite neatly spoken.

Seeing his subordinates' performance, Lu Bu showed an angry and helpless expression on his face, and couldn't help but point at them, and said extremely helplessly: "You, you, you, are you forcing me! Alas!"

After saying that, Lu Bu shook his sleeves and walked out directly.

Although Lu Bu still did not accept it, the eyes of all the civil and military officials present lit up.

Huh? There is a door! Although the lord still didn't agree, his tone was much more lively than yesterday.

Because of this kind of thing, everyone knows it very well and they definitely can't agree as soon as they let it go.

That seems too insincere!

You have to give in, give in, and give in, to agree so carelessly.

This is just a first-hand concession, at most a second-hand concession, and it’s not time to agree!

Next, all civil and military officials were considered to have a quarrel against Lu Bu.

Originally, all the civil and military officials were kneeling, but later Lu Bu sent someone to order them not to kneel down.

As a result, all civil and military officials immediately followed suit and stopped kneeling, and their knees were already hurt.

If they hadn't had to do a full set of tricks, they would have long since wanted to kneel down.

The next step was a hunger strike. They stayed in the hall for a whole day, and they didn't go there except to go to the toilet.

During the whole day, all officials ate no food except for stealing some water.

Moreover, the situation here was reported to the people outside in real time.

After learning the news, the people spontaneously went outside the governor's office to ask the governor to ascend the throne to the emperor!

...

Such things must be done in one go and cannot be relaxed.

So that night, all the officials did not go home, but slept directly in the hall.

It's a bit awkward when sleeping.

Because in the entire hall, there were a series of gurgling sounds one after another.

I have been hungry all day long, and all the officials have been hungry. When have they ever suffered this crime?

At this moment, soldiers brought two large basins of hot noodles and bowls and chopsticks.

"Sirs, you guys, eat the noodles that have just been cooked while they are hot!"

Gudu!

Gudu!

Smelling the fragrance of noodles, the sound of swallowing spit suddenly sounded in the hall.

This noodles are so fragrant! Why don’t you find that noodles are so fragrant?

"Take it away, don't put it in front of us. We said that hunger strike is a hunger strike! As long as the lord does not agree to ascend the throne for a day, we will not eat for a day! Take it away, take it away quickly!"

The soldiers smiled and did not take the noodles, but walked out directly.

Waiting for the few soldiers to leave, Jia Xu quickly rushed to the basin, picked up a bowl, served a large bowl of noodles, and started eating it in a slight snoring.

Xun Yu next to him said with a grudge: "Wenhe, how can you be so unstable? So unscrupulous? Just a bowl of noodles makes you surrender? You, you disappoint me so much!"

Jia Xu smiled and blinked his eyes and said, "Wenruo, you said, if we are not full, then we will have the strength to go on a hunger strike? Eat quickly, eat quickly, and if you are full, you will continue to go on a hunger strike tomorrow!"

Um?

After hearing Jia Xu's words, Xun Yu felt that it made sense, but he was speechless.

Yes, if you don’t eat enough, where can you get the strength to go on a hunger strike?

Just as Xun Yu was thinking about it, the remaining officials could no longer hold back.

They snatched up the dishes and noodles one after another.

Seeing that the two basins of noodles were in a blink of an eye, Xun Yu didn't care about thinking, panic and shouted loudly:

"Don't rob, leave me a bowl!"
Chapter completed!
