Lu Bu nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

Lin Qing turned his head and gave an order, and soon a dozen representatives of the masses were brought up by soldiers.

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

When these representatives of the masses saw Lu Bu, they were excited, and solemnly gave Lu Bu the first salute in the nine bows of the "Zhou Li".

The first of the ancient rituals is the most solemn of the ancient prayers, in which the giver kneels on the ground, presses his left hand on his right hand, and places his right hand on the ground in front of his knee.

The next step is to prostrate and put your head on the back of your hand for a period of time to show respect. Because Ji itself means to pause.

The chief salute was often used by courtiers to meet the king. Later, sons worship their fathers, worship heaven and God, newlyweds worship heaven and earth, parents, ancestors, temples, teachers, tombs, etc., also use this great gift.

Therefore, when the courtiers saw the king kneeling, it began in the Zhou Dynasty, and it did not start when the pigtailed army of later generations entered the customs.

Of course, in the past, kneeling was not as frequent as after the pigtailed army entered the customs, and it was enough to kneel at every turn.

These representatives of the masses said loudly while bowing: "The grass people and others saw miracles such as the golden lotus of the earth and the sycamore offering words in the Thorn Shi Mansion last night, which is a sign that God wants to wait for Lord Wen to be the emperor!" The mandate of heaven cannot be violated, so we specially ask for my life, hoping that Lord Wen will ascend the throne as the emperor! Banzai! Banzai! ”

Hearing the words of these representatives of the masses, Lu Bu couldn't help but wonder and asked: "What kind of land is pouring golden lotus, Wutong offering words, why don't I know?" ”

Those representatives of the masses couldn't help but say: "Lord Wen Hou, I think it is the lord who is high-spirited and bright, and he insists on refusing to be the emperor!" That's why God sent down a miracle, let me wait for ordinary people to see it, so that I can persuade Lord Wen Hou! Lord Wen Hou, don't shirk it! Please wait for Lord Wen to be the emperor! ”

At this time, in fact, it was time for Lu Bu's military officials to behave.

At this time, they should work together, and all of them will follow loudly and loudly, please call the emperor right!

But now these civil and military officials have not figured out the true thoughts in Lu Bu's heart, and they are afraid of being cut off, so no one has come forward to express their position for a long time.

The scene was a bit cold and quite embarrassing.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Xun Yu to be the first to stand up, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Please call the lord the emperor!" ”

Jia Xu stood up for the second time, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Please call the lord the emperor!" ”

With these two people taking the lead, the remaining civil and military officials fell to their knees one after another as if they had eaten a reassuring pill, and said loudly: "Please call the lord the emperor!" ”

Lu Bu said with a displeased face: "You, you, you are trying to trap me in unkindness and injustice!" Don't talk about this matter anymore, I won't ascend the throne and become emperor! ”

At this time, Jia Xu couldn't help but say loudly: "Lord, if you don't call yourself the emperor, your subordinates will kneel here and not get up!" If the lord doesn't agree for a day, his subordinates won't be able to afford it for a day, and if the lord doesn't agree all the time, his subordinates will just die! ”

Suddenly!

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

This Jia Xu is really shameless!

Needless to say, in the matter of persuading the lord to be the emperor, Jia Xu is definitely the first achievement, and no one can snatch it away!

With Jia Xu taking the lead, the remaining civil and military officials immediately learned and put it into use, and hurriedly followed: "Lord, if you don't claim the title of emperor, your subordinates will go on a hunger strike!" If you don't become 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 latter sentence was said by all the civil and military officials, and it was quite neat.

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

After speaking, Lu Bu flicked his sleeves and walked out directly.

Although Lu Bu still didn't accept it, the eyes of the civil and military officials present lit up.

Hey? There's a door! Although the lord still did not agree, his tone was much more lively than yesterday.

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

That would be too insincere!

You have to let it go, let it go again, and let it go three times before you can agree so-so.

This is a let, at most a second, it's not time to agree!

Next, the civil and military officials were on the bar for Lu Bu.

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

As a result, the civil and military officials immediately got off the donkey from the slope and did not kneel, and the knees that had already knelt hurt hurt.

If it weren't for the fact that they had to do a full set of acts, they wouldn't want to kneel for a long time.

Then came the hunger strike, and for the whole day, they stayed in the main hall, and they didn't go except to go to the latrine.

For a whole day, the officials didn't eat anything except to drink some water.

And the situation here was also reported to the people outside in real time.

After the people learned the news, they spontaneously went to the Assassin's Mansion to ask Lord Assassin to ascend the throne as the emperor!

……

This kind of thing must be done in one go, and we must not slacken.

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

When sleeping, it is slightly awkward.

Because in the entire hall, there was a sound of gurgling one after another.

I've been hungry all day, and all the officials have been starved miserably, when have they ever suffered this crime?

At this moment, a soldier brought two large bowls of hot noodles and chopsticks.

"Ladies and gentlemen, eat the freshly cooked noodles while they're hot!"

Goo!

Goo!

Smelling the aroma of noodles, the hall suddenly resounded with the sound of swallowing saliva one after another.

These noodles are so delicious! Why don't you usually find that the noodles are so fragrant?

"Let's go, don't put it in front of us, we said a 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! End go, end go, end go! ”

The soldiers smiled and walked out without the noodles.

Waiting for a few soldiers to leave, Jia Xu quickly rushed to the basin, picked up a bowl, filled a large bowl of noodles, and snorted and ate it.

Xun Yu next to him hated iron and said: "Wenhe, how can you be so unstance?" So spineless? Just a bowl of noodles to bring you to your knees? You, you've let me down so much! ”

Jia Xu smiled, blinked his eyes and said, "Wen Ruo, you say, if we don't eat enough, then we will have the strength to go on a hunger strike?" Eat fast, eat fast, eat enough and continue the hunger strike tomorrow! ”

Well?

After listening to Jia Xu's words, Xun Yu felt so reasonable, he was speechless.

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

Just when Xun Yu was pondering, the remaining hundred officials couldn't hold it anymore.

They grabbed the dishes and chopsticks and grabbed the noodles.

Seeing that the two large pots of noodles had bottomed out in a blink of an eye, Xun Yu couldn't think about it anymore, panicked, and shouted loudly:

"Don't grab it, leave me a bowl!"
