The countries of the Western Regions, for the vast majority of the people of the Han Dynasty, were basically limited to hearing about it. But for the people of Sili and Liangzhou, the term Western Regions represents a lot.

In the past, when the countries of the Western Regions went to Luoyang to offer gifts, or caravans came to Dahan to do business, they basically passed through Liangzhou and Sili. This makes some old people in Liangzhou and Sili still remember those scenes in the past.

It's just that the last time people from the Western Regions came to visit, although the Han Dynasty was not smooth, it was also a country and a peaceful country, with no enemies outside and no anti-thieves inside.

And now, the envoys of the Western Regions have arrived in Luoyang again, and the people naturally have the illusion of returning to the peaceful era of the past. Subsequently, it also made them think that only Zhao Gong and Li Yi could calm the world and bring them a peaceful and stable life.

Well...... Of course, there is still only one mission from the Western Regions. But how do the people know? They also did not have access to the envoys of Shanshanguo. And the newspapers have already said so, and they don't believe that the content of the newspapers is a lie.

This news is like a catalyst, which makes the people's expectations for Li Yi to be the king more and more high. At the end of July, people began to petition the government in various places, hoping that Li Yi would be able to ascend the throne.

Under normal circumstances, the fate of these people would definitely be directly put into prison by those officials who were afraid of things. But today, the only thing these officials do is to implicitly petition too few.

August, Luoyang.

"My lord, according to the information sent from all over the country, the people everywhere now expect the lord to take the throne. Among them, the entire annexed state, most of the division, and all the people, except for the children, expressed their eagerness to the throne of the lord! Xun Yu said respectfully.

After speaking, Xun Yu took out several case files and presented them to Li Yi, each of which was densely packed with names. "Lord, these are the signatures of officials from all over the world, all of them hope that the lord can take the throne and lead them to pacify the world......"

Then, without waiting for Li Yi to speak, Xun Yu took out another case file, which was also densely packed with names, "Lord, this is a joint petition from the masters and students of Dadao Academy, hoping that the lord can conform to the will of the people, that is, the throne." ”

"Alas, things have turned out to be the way they are now...... Li Yi shook his head and sighed as he looked at the dense names.

"My lord, if there is a great chaos today, the princes everywhere will be kings. If the lord is not on the throne, how can he make the people return to their hearts, and the soldiers will ...... bravely" Xun Yu said the previous set of words again.

"Please also ask the lord to be the throne to calm the hearts of the people!" After Xun Yu finished speaking, Guo Jia, Sima Yi and others said loudly.

"Alas...... Since everyone in the world is asking for this, if I don't agree, won't I be against the people of the world? Li Yi sighed.

"Lord...... No! Your Highness is wise! When Xun Yu and the others heard this, they were immediately overjoyed.

However, Li Yi was not interested in the ceremony proposed by everyone, "Fang is in chaos today, and King Yan and others are preparing to provoke a war again. So there is no need to carry out the tedious and extravagant rituals of the past, everything is simple, everything is simple. ”

"Yes...... But ......" Xun Yu and the others were at a loss for a while when they heard Li Yi. You must know that this is the throne, how can it be simple?

"Hmm...... Just use the newspaper to announce that the world is good, and the rest does not need anything. There are so many princes and kings in the world, why should they be so grand? If you have that spare money, it is better to spend it on the troops and the people. Li Yi said lightly.

Hearing this, Xun Yu and the others immediately guessed Li Yi's thoughts, and hurriedly shouted again, "Your Highness is thinking about the people all the time, which is really the blessing of all the people in the world!" ”

At the end of the month, the news of Li Yi's throne spread all over the world, and for a time, the people under Li Yi's rule hung lanterns to celebrate. And those civil ministers and military generals under Li Yi wrote letters to congratulate Li Yi and express their loyalty.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, Li Yi has been inking for so long to claim the king, but it is too hypocritical.

"It's worthy of Zikang, he acts like a drip, and people can't hold any handle at all." Cao Cao looked at the information in his hand and sighed. He became king as a last resort, otherwise, he would be inferior in the Triple Alliance.

But what about Li Yi? Obviously, he had to be the king to fight against the Triple Alliance here, but Li Yi was not in a hurry, and insisted that all the people and officials in the territory collectively petition, and he was on the throne. In Cao Cao's view, this is the situation that a king should have.

"Lord, King Zhao is so popular with the people, it's really frightening......" Jia Xu said quietly. There was also a hint of happiness in his tone, if he really ran to join Li Yi in the first place, I am afraid that Li Yi would have taken out his reputation a long time ago, right?

"Haha, this kind of thing can't be envied~ Zikang's wrist, even if it was Zhou Gong in the past, it was far inferior~" Cao Cao laughed when he heard this. It's just that having said that, his tone was full of envy.

is also envious of Liu Bei, "If the people under my rule can be as loyal to me as they are, why worry about the injustice of the world?" The Han family is not prosperous? Liu Bei shook his head and sighed.

Over the years, he has conscientiously governed the territory, widely implemented good governance to win the hearts of the people, and has also won the title of benevolent government and love for the people. It's just that compared with Li Yi, the gold content of this title is obviously far behind. At least, Liu Bei didn't think that if he sat in Li Yi's position, there would be so many people petitioning him to take the throne.

"Father doesn't have to be like this, this is just some of the methods used by King Zhao. How can this be possible if no one is helping to do so? Seeing this, Zhuge Liang persuaded him.

It's just that although he said so, Zhuge Liang's constantly flickering gaze exposed his heart. Because he knew very well that even if he secretly contributed to the trouble, it would not be possible to achieve such a terrifying effect.

After all, the people in the troubled times have the worst sense of belonging. It's like Liu Yu, who also loved the people like a son in the past, but in the end? Wasn't it taken away by Gongsun Zhan? Although there were rebellions everywhere in Youzhou later, it happened after Yan Rou and the Wuhuan people rebelled together! Until then, weren't they honestly succumbing to Gongsun Zhan's rule?

And from the information obtained from Si Li's side, Zhuge Liang saw many details that he couldn't even think of. And these details also made him more and more aware of what a powerful enemy they were about to face.

"But even so, the one who will eventually rule the world will definitely be the father!" Zhuge Liang thought to himself.
