Amid the shouts of the people and the tsunami, more than a dozen officials on the stage also got up and got off the wooden platform. Hundreds of officials under the wooden platform followed their footsteps, and the group walked through a passage formed by the soldiers, and went straight to the yamen of the political hall on the east side of the square.

When they arrived at the yamen, all the officials knelt on the ground and shouted in unison towards the closed vermilion lacquer gate of the political hall: "The ministers lead the people of the Great Zhou to respectfully invite Lu Xiang to be the emperor of the Great Zhou!" ”

The government hall was closed, and there was no movement for a long time. The officials shouted louder, and at last the door opened, and a small official of the government hall came out, standing on the steps and talking loudly.

"Lu Xiang has something to tell you, Lu Xiang said that your lordship's behavior is extremely inappropriate, and he has no intention of being the emperor of the Great Zhou. In doing so, you will roast him on the fire, and the people of the world will attack him for this, and he does not want to bear the name of stealing the country. Please leave immediately. ”

Some of the officials had embarrassed expressions, and they were busy for a long time but were reprimanded by Lu Xiang, what is this? But for Liu Zhenbang, Chen Jue, Zhu Zhirong and others, they all know that this is just a trick to get away with it, and such words cannot be true.

Liu Zhenbang knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Please tell Lu Xiang that the first emperor has already followed the system of Yao Shun and the sages to issue the edict of Zen concession, and Lu Xiang is the person designated by the emperor to succeed him, which is a righteous move." At present, the world is full of people, the Jurchens are eyeing each other, the rebels have established themselves as emperors, the Great Zhou Society is in turmoil, and the people are suffering from upside down. At this time, how could Lu Xiang bear to abandon the people and the society, and let the traitors and barbarians poison my great rivers and mountains and the people of the Great Zhou. Lu Xiangren, righteousness, loyalty, and faithfulness are known to the world, and Lu Xiang's accession to the throne is the hope of all the people, and the heavens have a great responsibility. Today, all the people gather here to petition, which is the heart of the people of the world. There may be rumors and slanders from young people, but everyone in the world knows that Lu is loyal to Da Zhou. Please ask Lu Xiang to take the Great Zhou Society and the country as the priority, the people of the world as the priority, the overall situation as the priority, endure the humiliation and burden, and ascend the throne. ”

"Please Lu Xiang take the country and the society as the priority, the people of the world as the priority, endure the humiliation, and ascend the throne!" The ministers shouted in unison.

The little official bowed down and said, "The villain will go to report to Lu Xiang, and you will wait." ”

The little official turned around and went in, and rushed straight into the inner hall and public room. In the public room, Lu Zhongtian was sitting behind the desk with his eyes closed, and Lu Tianci rubbed his hands and walked briskly beside him. Seeing the little official coming back, Lu Tianci hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What did they say?" It's not all gone, is it? ”

The little official hurriedly repeated Liu Zhenbang's words, and Lu Tianci smiled when he heard this: "Hehehehehe, this old Liu is really on the road." Daddy, don't shirk now, you have to have a degree of acting, don't go too far. If they really think that Daddy doesn't want to be the emperor and they all disperse, then it will be self-defeating. ”

Lu Zhongtian shouted coldly: "Shut up, what do you know?" ”

Lu Tianci muttered, "Why don't I know? Daddy, don't you just want to put on a score? ”

Lu Zhongtian glared and wanted to scold, but Lu Tianci hurriedly waved his hand and said, "That's it, my son won't say it." ”

Lu Zhongtian glared at him fiercely, turned to the little official and said, "You go, tell them that the old man knows that the responsibility is heavy, but he can't promise them for the time being." Ascending the throne and becoming the lord of the world is no child's play. The emperor is the son of heaven and needs to be ordered by heaven. Given to heaven, you can lead the people. It's not just the people and civil and military officials who expect to be old

The husband will be enthroned. Tomorrow morning, the old man will go to Xiangguo Temple to worship the gods, ask for a sign and pray for blessings, please enjoy the gods, and then make a decision. Let them not force the old man too tightly and let them disperse. ”

The little official agreed, turned around and galloped away. Lu Tianci couldn't help but exclaim: "Daddy, what are you doing here?" It's too much of acting. If you are really afraid of the slander of the world, your son is not afraid. Or...... Your son will be the emperor for you? Hehehe, my son hasn't been an emperor yet. ”

Lu Zhongtian's eyes burst into flames, and he shouted angrily: "Godci, what did you say? Do you want to die? ”

Lu Tianci was startled, he saw a fierce murderous aura in his father's eyes, this was the first time he had seen his father look at him with such fierceness in his eyes. No matter how stupid Lu Tianci is, he knows that he has touched his father's scales.

"My son is just joking, why should my father take it seriously. Daddy said what to do, just do it. The son still had something to do, so he didn't accompany his father, and the son took his leave. Lu Tianci hurriedly apologized, turned around and slipped away.

Lu Zhongtian sighed, closed his eyes again, and sat still. Hearing the shouts of the people outside, a smile appeared on the corner of Lu Zhongtian's mouth.

Lu Zhongtian's words were conveyed by the officials, and the officials were a little helpless. Several generals muttered in a low voice: "What is Lu Xiang doing?" Let's raise it like this, his old man nodded, put on a yellow robe and ascended to the throne, isn't this the end? Why do you push back? Don't you really want to be an emperor? ”

Liu Zhenbang said with a smile: "Generals, Lu Xiang has already relented, didn't he say that he would invite the gods and Buddhas tomorrow?" If the gods and Buddhas agree, they can ascend the throne. ”

"But...... The Pleasure of the Gods and Buddhas...... So who knows? Is there a lottery? If you draw a lot, isn't it blind? Someone shouted.

Liu Zhenbang said with a smile: "Since Lu Xiang is the order of the Son of Heaven, the gods and Buddhas have their own divine pleasures, so don't worry." Let's do what Lu Xiang said. The food has been distributed, and we will witness it tomorrow in Xiangguo Temple. Ladies and gentlemen, let's do our part and prepare for the enthronement ceremony of Lu Xiang. The day after tomorrow is an auspicious day for the zodiac. The day after tomorrow, he will be enthroned. ”

Liu Zhenbang is different from those old and rough generals, he is very clear about Lu Zhongtian's behavior. That's not that Lu Yuan really wants to be overly hypocritical. When the emperor not only asks all the people and officials to ask for their lives, but also wants God to grant divine power. Both the virtual and the real must be talented. Sometimes the arrangement of heaven is more important than the hundreds of officials advocating for the people's life. God's arrangement is the greatest, even if the Zen drama directed by Lu Zhongtian, and even the people's request for life, these are not as useful as Shenyue.

In these years, science was underdeveloped, the people's wisdom was not developed, and the whole was in a chaotic state of worshipping nature and worshipping God. So careerists and rebels will use this to deceive people. Let the people of the world understand that the qi of the old dynasty has been exhausted, and the new saint was born by giving the mandate of heaven. For example, digging a river channel and digging out a one-eyed stone man, engraved on his back with words such as 'Mo Dao stone man has one eye, inciting the Yellow River to rebel in the world', as a mysterious prophecy and sign. For example, arrange for someone who wants to be an emperor to be born when the house is full of red light, and the golden dragon surrounds the house. 'The vision, and so on. These methods are simple and effective, and this is what Lu Zhongtian wants to use.

……

The farce is over, and the city is full of people. The vast majority of the people in the capital are happy today, after all, they shouted a few slogans and brought the grain home, a family

The child can have a full meal. As for who wants to be the emperor, Xiaomin doesn't understand right and wrong, but he can't control it. Even if he knew that Lu Zhongtian was suspected of taking the opportunity to become the emperor, he felt that something was wrong, but that was not something that the people could manage. The one outside the city may not be a good person, didn't Lord Liu swear to the sky today? That Lin Jue regarded the people in the city as thieves and was about to enter the city to clear it. Then, both sides are black, and it doesn't matter who will be the emperor. Whoever gives bread listens to whomever he says.

The people are very curious about whether there will be divine pleasure in the Great Xiangguo Temple tomorrow. If Lu Zhongtian really came down as the true dragon son of heaven, and the divine pleasure was conclusive, then there was nothing to say. The Guo family has become the Lu family, and the world is still the same world, but it is just a change of dynasty. There is no eternal dynasty, maybe the Great Zhou Guo clan has been abandoned by God, and there is nothing to be done.

All in all, today's events have made the originally dead and silent capital come alive all of a sudden.

In the camp of the Luoyan Army outside the city, the farce in the city was also reached to Lin Jue and Guo Kun before dark. There were a large number of Xuanyi guards in the city who found out the news, and after the farce of the gathering and persuasion, they sent the news out by various means.

Lin Jue was having dinner with Bai Bing and Gao Muqing, and when he heard the news, he almost squirted out a mouthful of rice. Soon, Guo Kun rushed to Lin Jue's camp in a hurry.

"This old thief, at this time, is still thinking about dreaming of being an emperor, it is really hateful. Spread rumors that we were going into the city to cleanse the people. Now the people of the city seem to have something to say about us. The old thief is so cunning that he seems to know that we will not accede to his request in three days' time. Brother-in-law, what do you say? Guo Kun said incoherently.

Lin Jue smiled: "What to do?" A farce, let him make trouble. ”

Guo Kun said: "But he is about to ascend the throne, and he will go to the Great Xiangguo Temple tomorrow to invite the gods of heaven, and he will ascend the throne." The old thief is trying to deceive people's hearts. What please please God? It will be false. It must be arranged in advance. It's just a deception to the foolish people in the city. ”

Lin Jue said with a smile: "The emperor understands very well, yes, tomorrow must be the result of arrangement." The divine pleasure descended by the gods naturally wanted him Lu Zhongtian to ascend the throne as the emperor, and he was the true dragon son of heaven. A large part of the people in the capital are afraid that he is really the true dragon emperor, and really think that he is the real emperor. Hahaha, interesting, interesting! ”

Guo Kun said angrily: "You still say it's interesting? He is the true son of the dragon, so what am I? ”

Lin Jue smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Lu Zhongtian is just the last madness, he knows that he is at the end of his rope, this is the last moment to be an emperor addict and deceive the people to work for him." What's the use of that? The general trend of history is rolling forward, and he is destined to be just a small splash in the waves. No matter how much you struggle, it will be futile. The emperor relaxes and prepares to greet the cheers of the people of the capital in three days. ”

Guo Kun said: "I'm relieved if you say that, but how are you going to attack the city?" It's been garrisoned for days, and you don't give orders to attack the city. When I asked you how to siege the city, you didn't tell me. If you don't want to say anything to me, can I not worry? ”

Lin Jue said softly: "Your Majesty, if you really trust me, you won't say such things." If you are not sure of me, why should you trust me? ”

Guo Kun was stunned for a moment, speechless for a long time.
