Lu Bu suddenly bowed and uttered these words of persuasion in a righteous manner, which really caught everyone present off guard.
The first person to react, kneel down before Xiang Yu and agree loudly was Fan Zeng, who had realized Lu Bu's good intentions earlier.
Fan Zeng was so excited that he didn't care about his old bones. He knelt down with incredible agility and said with unprecedented vigor: "Just as Fengxian said, I hope the king will take care of the people of the world, stabilize the situation as soon as possible, and promote the throne to the emperor! We are not talented, but we are willing to follow you to the death!"
—A word can wake a dreamer up.
Seeing that the two people who were most trusted and favored by the king had both knelt down, how could the others dare to just stand there
They all knelt down and saluted one after another, and regardless of whether their intention was sincere, they all praised Xiang Yu's achievements and urged him to ascend the throne, thus showing their loyalty and obedience.
They would never think that this was Lu Bu's own decision, but they all regarded it as an elaborate plan by Fan Zeng to make Xiang Yu ascend the throne naturally, and a drama of persuading him to ascend the throne arranged together with this most outstanding general of Lu Bu.
Xiang Yu had no expression on his face, he just stared at his beloved general who was prostrating on the ground, refusing to get up.
His eyes were dark, as if thousands of thoughts were surging in his mind.
Even he did not understand the specific reason - why it was so unbearable to see his beloved general, who was usually full of energy and high spirits, prostrating himself so humbly before his shoes.
He really didn't want to see Fengxian kneeling to him.
Not long after, Xiang Yu made up his mind, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Since you have given me advice, even though I am not talented, I must accept it."
After a pause, he quickly said, "Everyone, please stand up."
When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned again.
The words that were about to come out of his mouth were blocked by the Overlord's statement that was not in accordance with ancient etiquette and was too straightforward and frank.
According to ancient etiquette, even if Xiang Yu was advised by his ministers to ascend the throne, he should still be polite and humble.
After waiting for the support of his ministers several times, he could reluctantly proclaim himself emperor to show his humility.
Who would have thought that King Xiang was a man of blood at heart. He had been silent on this for several months, but at the critical moment, he didn't care about such... small details.
The ministers were all confused, but Lu Bu was overjoyed and was very happy.
It had been a long time since he had performed such a kneeling ceremony to kowtow to anyone. Although it was far from the point where his knees and waist were sore, given his arrogant temper, he would not be willing to do so for too long!
Fortunately, this foolish king was sensible. Although he was usually slow to react, he was worthy of the title of emperor when it was time to step forward and accept it.
However, even if the foolish prince really wanted to observe those stupid polite rules and go through all that fuss about refusing to do something, it would only happen once in his life, so he should just endure it.
Fortunately, this fool is so efficient in doing big things, and he really has some of my style back then!
Lu Bu boasted himself in a roundabout way. His face was stern, but he was very satisfied in his heart. He stood up quickly.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I raised my eyes, I unexpectedly met the burning gaze of that fool.
This silly... Why does the silly emperor always look at him
Lu Bu felt numb all over when he was stared at by those double pupils that were shining with brilliance.
Before he could recover from the shock, he glared back at him fiercely, but the foolish emperor had already turned his eyes away as if nothing had happened, and turned to look at the ministers, whose faces were full of loyalty regardless of their thoughts, and suddenly asked, "Where is the doctor?"
Upon hearing this, Shusun Tong, who had been silent until now, brightened up his eyes.
When the Former Qin Dynasty was still in existence, he was a doctor at the imperial court. Later, he was promoted to doctor by Hu Hai.
Seeing that Qin's power was gradually declining, he acted decisively and served the King of Chu. However, when the incident in the palace happened that day, he was quick enough to see the opportunity and turn to obey Xiang Yu.
However, he was not good at strategy or lobbying, and remained unknown.
Although today's persuasion to ascend the throne happened suddenly, he vaguely felt that this might be the day he had been waiting for for a long time.
When he really heard this, he didn't care about his heart beating like a drum, and said without hesitation: "I am here."
Xiang Yu glanced at him calmly and said concisely: "The ceremony of ascending the throne should be kept simple."
Shusun Tong was shrewd and smooth-talking, so how could he not understand the hidden meaning of Xiang Yu's words
—The coronation ceremony of the Overlord to the throne will be presided over by him!
Shusun Tong was so excited that he didn't care whether King Xiang, who was willing to entrust him with an important task, attached great importance to etiquette and norms.
Without hesitation, he answered loudly amid the jealous gazes of his colleagues!
After Xiang Yu gave the order, he seemed to have something on his mind, and he quickly dispersed the court meeting, leaving only Lu Bu.
Although Fan Zeng had a lot to say to the king, he knew what was important and what was not.
Seeing that Fengxian was the one who was kept by the king, he felt more at ease and gladly took his leave.
Lü Bu was completely bewildered. He waited until everyone had left before turning around and asking the fool with a puzzled look on his face, "What do you want, my king?"
Xiang Yu just looked at him with a creepy and strange look and remained silent.
Lu Bu's hair stood on end. When he was about to ask again, he suddenly lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Nothing."
Lu Bu's eyelids twitched wildly.
If he didn't know that he couldn't defeat this fool's brute force, he would have beaten him up just for the infuriating way of the other party playing tricks on him.
Xiang Yu had no idea that his beloved general had such treasonous thoughts in his mind. He looked worried and suddenly asked, "Fengxian... do you have any requests?"
What does he want
Lu Bu narrowed his eyes slightly.
What else could it be? It’s that Liu Haozi’s head!
After all, he had once thrived around the moody and violent fat thief Dong, so he had become wary of such probing words.
Although he didn't know why this fool was testing him for no reason, Lu Bu still reacted very quickly.
With the turn of his eyes, he gave a high-sounding explanation of his "request" in a flash, and said passionately: "Your Majesty is extremely brave and heroic, and you are respectful to the wise and humble, benevolent and respectful to others. You are the wise ruler bestowed by heaven in troubled times! When scholars walk in the world, all they want is to serve a wise ruler and prove their ambitions—"
Xiang Yu concentrated and held his breath, listening carefully. Suddenly, a voice interrupted Lu Bu's words: "Fengxian's ambition... Why?"
It was a rare occasion for Lu Bu to be interrupted by Xiang Yu, and he was stunned by the question.
After hearing the question clearly, he couldn't help but laugh.
—The ambitious Marquis Lu Wen was hanged to death in Baimen Tower!
Lu Bu's eyes flickered slightly, as if he had accidentally avoided the simpleton's gaze, and said cunningly: "My ambition is to pacify the world for the king and fight in all directions!"
Xiang Yu lowered his eyes quietly and said nothing.
He instinctively sensed that the general was in a low mood and... was not telling the truth.
How could Lu Bu know that this fool, who had always let him fool him, actually had a bright mind this time.
After a moment's silence, Xiang Yu did not ask any further questions, but always looked as if he was in a trance.
It was not until Lu Bu's patience ran out and he asked to leave that he responded absentmindedly.
—This foolish prince has become even more foolish since he decided to become the foolish emperor!
As Lu Bu rode his horse back home, he secretly rejoiced.
Damn it, it’s a good thing I’m not from Chu!
Otherwise, if you had to deal with such an eccentric emperor, wouldn't you have endless worries in your life
The thought of having to chase after the Foolish Emperor all day long, cleaning up his mess diligently, racking his brains to come up with strategies... Lu Bu shuddered.
He is not a fish, so he does not want to know the joy of fish - such a terrifying blessing should be left to his adopted brother who must be enjoying it.
Thinking this with a gloating look on his face, Lu Bu quickly put the fool's strange behavior out of his mind.
In fact, even he had not expected that this impromptu persuasion would go so smoothly...
Thanks to my strength, I was able to catch it easily!
Lu Bu was beaming with joy and humming an unknown tune; the jade lion under him seemed to be infected as well and it jumped its hooves briskly.
Before the man and his horse had gone far, Lu Bu slapped his forehead and suddenly remembered something.
… This matter is of great importance, and we must at least inform that cheap old man who is busy writing military books all day long.
So he temporarily turned his horse around and headed towards the mansion where Han Xin was temporarily staying.
Even though the lord was busy, how could the personal soldiers in Han Xin's mansion stop someone who even the guards in front of the Grand Palace did not dare to stop
Not to mention that it is well known that Han Xin loves his brother of the opposite sex very much.
Lu Bu walked to the study door with ease, and thrust his long legs forward casually, causing the two closed wooden doors to burst open.
Han Xin, who was originally immersed in the sea of books, was rudely called back to his senses. He was about to get angry, but when he saw the man coming was his brother, his anger suddenly turned into joy, and he happily called out: "My brother, you have come at the right time. This is—"
Lu Bu, who had not noticed Han Xin's nature as a hard-working immortal and had suffered a lot from being tricked by the phrase "come just in time" a while ago, would not be fooled at all now.
He had been through a lot of hardships over the past year: not only did he have to charge into battle, but he also had to come up with strategies and keep an eye on the foolish king who was making a fool of himself at the time, and he did not dare to relax for even a moment. In the end, he even took the initiative to do such a hard job as escorting the corridor.
What are you trying to achieve
Isn't it because he is looking forward to the unification of the world and Hanzi ascending the throne as soon as possible, so that he can go and fight Liu Haozi openly!
Seeing that he is full of sadness and has finally made it to this day, if anyone still forces him to use his brain, then don't blame him for taking action!
Lu Bu came forward with murderous intent, his face disregarding his relatives, and said to his adopted brother who was still eager to drag him to write a book: "The king is about to take the throne, brother, why don't you hurry to the palace to congratulate and show your loyalty, instead of writing a military book!"
If he remembered correctly, Xiang Hanzi was a bad-tempered person who gave up halfway and always had excuses for what he learned when he was still under his uncle's supervision.
Now that I have achieved success and the situation is stable, how could I suddenly have the ambition to read Han Xin's military book!
Han Xin was stunned when he heard this.
King Xiang... is finally going to be honored as the emperor
He stood straight for a long time, finally digesting this sudden event.
He glanced at his brother, who meant well and spoke with some sense, and then reluctantly looked at the new page of notes he had just started.
After hesitating for a moment, his eyes finally stopped on the bamboo slips, and he said vaguely: "What you said is very reasonable, my foolish brother-"
"Let's go to the palace first."
Lu Bu had a dark face and was watching with a fierce look on his face.
Seeing that Han Xin was still delaying, he was unbelievable and could not bear it any longer, so he had to take tough measures.
At this point, why don't you hurry up and go to the palace to remind that fool of his loyalty
This cheap brother was born with a smart head in vain. Once he becomes confused, he is even worse than that fool!
In order to force Han Xin to mount his horse and enter the palace, Lu Bu almost kicked him in the butt.
Watching Han Xin, who had become restless without him noticing, ride away on horseback, Lu Bu felt exhausted both physically and mentally.
Yesterday we had to guard against the military fairy leaving Chu to kill the foolish king. Today we have to guard against the foolish emperor who is dissatisfied with killing the military fairy.
—How come in such a huge Chu camp, in the blink of an eye, only a smart and perceptive person like him is left
