Han Xin's persuasion was sparse, and the writing was very decent.

Shuzhong said that Liu Ji won the king of Qin first, and in Dingguanzhong, he made the most contributions in the world, survived and determined the danger, rescued the defeated and succeeded, and was the most virtuous in the people in order to calm the people.

If you are determined today, no matter whether you are merit or virtue, the title of King of Han can no longer match his current identity, status and merit.

Therefore, he sincerely asked Liu Ji to accept the title of emperor and become the lord of the world.

In Liu Ji's view, Han Xin's persuasion meant submission at this stage, and he was satisfied in his heart, but in line with the principle of humility, he ignored this performance.

Zhang Liang did not have time to personally guide Han Xin's recital, because he was busy supervising the work, building the altar and platform, and contacting the kings with different surnames to prepare for the upcoming enthronement ceremony.

***

In addition to Han Xin, the new king of Chu, Peng Yue, the new king of Liang, Han Wang Xin, Huainan Wang Yingbu, Changsha King Wu Rui, Yan Wang Zang Di, and Zhang Ao, the eldest son of Zhao Wang Zhang Er, all rushed to Dingtao day and night in the next few days.

The supporting actors gathered together, and under the unified organization of Zhang Liang, the prime minister of Buyiqing, they persuaded again;

And this persuasion actually contributed to a dialogue between monarchs and ministers that went down in history.

At least, when Wu Zetian read the relevant words nine hundred years later, a clear and vivid picture could still emerge in front of him.

However, there is still a world of difference between what is contained in the book and what you have seen with your own eyes, in terms of shock.

After Han Xin, the kings jointly signed Shangshu and once again asked Liu Ji to be the emperor and the emperor's honorific title. The kings then gathered in Liu Ji's main account and unanimously elected him.

Han Xin, who took the lead, had a clear sincerity written on his face, "Please ask the king to ascend the throne, that is, the emperor's throne." ”

"In terms of strategizing and winning the wisdom of thousands of miles away, I am like Zhang Liang and Zhang Zifang. In terms of the ability to appease the people and prepare for the provision of wages, I am as good as Xiao. If the argument is to win the battle and attack to win, I am inferior to Han Xin.

I, a person with no merit and no talent, is not qualified to be an emperor. Liu Ji's left hand was on his waist, and his fingertips rubbed the hook of the beast face inlaid with gold and jade on the belt over and over again, shaking his head and laughing.

"Among the princes and kings, the king has the highest military merits and the most virtuous virtues, and only the king deserves the position of emperor." Peng Yue took a step forward and said in a rough voice.

Liu Ji laughed and waved his hand,

"What military merits, virtues, those are all false.

I often hear people say that the emperor should be the sage, I don't meet the standards of the sage, and I ask everyone to recommend another sage. ”

Lu Pheasant, who was sitting on the side, looked at the crowded figures and passionate emotions in the room, and his heart was a little trance.

The scene in front of me is all too familiar, the sincerity and firmness of the persuaders, the hesitation and humility of the prevaricators, slowly probing, getting closer to each other, and finally merging into a grand narrative of the so-called forced enthronement.

The young Zhang Ao took a few steps forward, saluted respectfully, his eyes were fixed on Liu Ji, and his words were earnest,

"The king starts from the subtlety, lifts the three-foot sword to establish immortal merits, destroys the chaos of Qin, punishes injustice, settles the sea, and is the great man of the virtuous."

Zhang Aoguo is a smart person, and he said for Liu Ji his inconvenient exploits, and Lu Pheasant was like a leisurely spectator who stayed out of the matter, and he actually commented on it in his heart.

Inspired by Zhang Ao, everyone echoed and expounded on Liu Jizhi's "virtuousness"-

"That's right, and the king divides the food and food, and the heroes are rewarded, so the selfless person is also virtuous."

"The king is all over the world, hanging the people and cutting down crimes, this is also the work of a sage."

Everyone was talking lively, Liu Ji only sat quietly and listened, without saying a word, and did not stop him.

Seeing this, Zhang Liang knew that the time was ripe, so he coughed loudly and made a concluding statement.

"If it is determined today, as everyone sees, the merit, virtue, and virtue of the king are far above the kings, please ask the king to be the emperor, so as to show the distinction between the upper and lower, to appease the hearts of the ministers, and to establish the life of the people."

The time has come, and it is Liu Ji's turn to further excuse himself, Lu Pheasant looked at Liu Ji with a little curiosity, as if he was examining his past and present life.

After all, when it comes to being an emperor, she is much more experienced than Liu Ji at the moment.

"Since this is the case",

When Liu Ji heard this, he finally let go of the hand that had always held the hook, he didn't care on the surface, but who knew that the palm of his hand was damp, and a layer of fine sweat had already appeared.

He stood up and said in a kind tone he had never seen before,

"Since you all think that my title of emperor is beneficial to the world, then I will try my best to sit in this lonely position for the sake of the world."

Everyone cheered and boiled, and no one noticed that Lu Pheasant on the side was stunned:

What, did Liu Ji Lao'er agree? Don't you have to say no more?

She remembered that when she was sixty-six years old, when she changed Tang to Zhou, but according to the ancient rites in the "Book of Rites", she was meticulous, and she did all three words and three concessions, which took several days, and she didn't know how to say hundreds of words against her will, and she and her ministers were tired and dry, physically and mentally exhausted, so she became the founding monarch of Wu Zhou.

Not to mention, the complicated and tedious warm-up work that lasted for several years before the emperor's layout.

From the auspicious birth to the persuasion of the kings, from the enveloping the ministers to the publication of Buddhist scriptures, from the "Holy Mother of God" to the "Golden Wheel Holy Spirit Emperor", Li Tang's imprint was covered little by little, and his honorific name was added word by word, and every half inch was entered, and he worked hard and worked hard every step of the way.

Thinking of this, she snorted from her nose in an inaudible voice under her gentle and obedient smile,

It can be seen that the so-called ancient rites that have been followed for generations are mostly based on false rumors and layered accumulation, which only suffers descendants like her.

***

That night, in the most spacious house in Dingtao County, a grand celebration banquet was held.

From Daze Township, Ning Youhu, to Chen Sheng's establishment of the Zhang Chu regime;

From Liu Ji, the king of the Han Dynasty, who was driven to the Bashu Basin with blocked traffic by the overlord of Western Chu, to Han Xin leading the strange soldiers out of the meridian and Chen Cang in the dark;

From Chu and Han holding Guangwu City to Xiang Yu killing himself on the bank of the Wujiang River, the imprint of blood and fire has poured more than 3,000 unforgettable hot days and nights.

And now, the 10,000 times of the violent Qin and the peace of the four seas have finally come true;

I have been looking forward to the reward for meritorious deeds for eight years, and the shadow of his wife and son is close at hand.

This group of martial artists who fought the world with Emperor Liu Ji, most of them were born from the grassroots like him, and they were reckless and martial.

Someone was so drunk that he couldn't help himself, and kicked over the low case in front of him, and knocked over the cup on the case;

Some people danced and shouted, pulled up their comrades and told the old things about the battlefield, and when they talked about the sad place, they couldn't help but cry;

Some people even pulled out the long sword they were wearing, slammed the hall pillars, and sang the song of the return of the long sword.

The rough habits cultivated during the Rong Ma Dynasty no longer seem to be commensurate with the status of the high-ranking Emperor of the Han Dynasty. What's more, the crowd was full of noisy princes and marquis, and they couldn't wait to step forward and hook up with themselves, and they couldn't even tell the difference between a monarch and a minister.

Is this what it is like to be an emperor? Liu Ji's eyelids jumped, he frowned slightly, and his gaze swept to Zhang Liang in the banquet.

Zhang Liang was born in a noble family, advanced and retreated in moderation, and always maintained sobriety and demeanor, from Liu Ji's hurried glance, he had already sensed the emperor's impatience and boredom in the past.

Looking at the above, Liu Ji just disliked the vulgar behavior of his old subordinates, but in the final analysis, what Liu Ji was annoyed by was actually their "rudeness".

Rites, born from primitive religious rituals, are constraints on external behavior, training and restriction of physical discipline, and important symbols to distinguish people's status levels.

The supremacy of the emperor was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people precisely through the making of ceremonies and music.

Zhang Liang met the gaze of the new emperor Liu Ji, bowed his head slightly, and his heart was bright.

"Looks like it's that person's turn."
