Today, no one can stop Lu Bu from reaching the highest position. Not only Lu Bu, but even Jiangdong Sun Quan is also ready to make a move at this time.

The position of the throne is extremely attractive to the princes. Otherwise, Yuan Shu would not have been so eager to claim to be emperor and show his ambition after receiving the imperial seal.

Sun Quan didn't understand the benefits of becoming emperor, so Sun Quan would not show weakness in this matter.

In the palace of the King of Jin, civil servants and military generals gathered together. Cao Cao's envoy Jiang Ji and Jiangdong's envoy Lu Su were among them.

This was the first time Jiang Ji came to Chang'an City as an envoy. He naturally knew a lot about Lu Bu's affairs. Jiang Ji was a counselor under Cao Cao. He was not weak in strategy and was highly regarded by Cao Cao.

After Lu Bu arrived, the hall gradually returned to silence. After everyone saluted, they all turned their attention to Lu Bu.

"Lu Su, the envoy from Jiangdong, has met the King of Jin." Lu Su went out to salute.

"The imperial envoy Jiang Ji has met the King of Jin."

Lu Bu nodded and said, "It's hard work for the two envoys to come all the way."

After everyone sat down, Lu Bu said slowly: "I have asked you to come here because there is an important matter."

"Come here, let the Holy One come forward." Lu Bu said.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this and didn't understand who the Holy Master Lu Bu was talking about. After seeing Liu Qi, everyone suddenly understood. However, after seeing Liu Qi's expression, many officials secretly despised what Liu Qi was like in Yizhou and after arriving in Chang'an.

, they know it clearly.

From Lu Bu's words, we can feel that Lu Bu has no respect for Liu Qi at all, while Jiang Ji and Lu Su have pensive expressions on their faces. Liu Qi's appearance at such a time must have a purpose.

Lu Bu stepped down from his position at the head, and the pale Liu Qi walked to Lu Bu's position with the help of the maid.

Looking at the civil servants and generals below, Liu Qi's face flashed with rosy color. Sitting in this position, he felt like he was in great power again.

"The defeat of Jingzhou and Yizhou made me feel exhausted mentally and physically. However, the King of Jin succeeded in martial arts and defeated the unconquered ministers. He ordered the Xiongnu and Wuhuan to take the head, and Xianbei surrendered. Gongsun of Liaodong rebelled against the Han Dynasty. The King of Jin led his troops to annihilate him. The Yellow Turban of Qingzhou brought trouble to the people.

, the King of Jin put it down, and there are countless others." Liu Qi stopped here.

After taking a look at everyone's reaction, Liu Qi was filled with reluctance, because he knew that the next words he said would definitely have a certain impact on the world.

When Lu Su and Jiang Ji saw this, they instantly understood what Liu Qi's appearance meant. After all, Liu Qi was the eldest son of the late emperor and inherited the throne in Jingzhou. If Liu Qi abdicated, Lu Bu would have more support for becoming emperor.

"However, when I was in charge of Jingzhou and Yizhou, I was unable to revitalize the Han Dynasty, so I decided to abdicate the throne to King Jin." After Liu Qi finished speaking, he lowered his head, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist.

Lu Bu stepped forward and said: "How virtuous and capable I am, how dare you inherit the throne?"

Liu Qi said: "If the King of Jin becomes the emperor, he will definitely be able to bring peace to the world and make the people healthy."

The officials present also tried to persuade him, and after refusing three times, Lu Bu agreed.

Then Liu Qi wrote a letter of resignation in public, and the maid sent a seal on Liu Qi's behalf.

With the support of the maid, Liu Qi walked out of the hall tremblingly. The civil servants and military generals in the court looked at Liu Qi without any mercy. In troubled times, only strong people can win the respect of others.

After Liu Qi was captured, he still indulged in wine and sex, which shows Liu Qi's nature. This kind of monarch is not liked by his officials.

Especially when the world is in turmoil, a strong monarch can make the people under his rule more prosperous and the army stronger. The weak and incompetent can only become vassals of others and eventually disappear.

After the Han Dynasty went through Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the princes were everywhere, and there were so many people in charge of military power. However, as the war gradually progressed, many princes disappeared during the fighting. Conquest of the world is a big stage. If you can't

If you adapt to the environment here, you can only be eliminated. No one will sympathize with a loser.

"Congratulations to King Jin!" After the officials in the venue reacted, they all came forward to congratulate.

"I have been favored by the Holy One and am willing to give up the throne. I am also very scared. However, the wars in the world continue and the people are in dire straits. I should work harder to stabilize the world. I will sacrifice to heaven outside Chang'an City on the eighth day of the seventh lunar month to inherit the great rule.

." Lu Bu said slowly.

Everyone said so.

The purpose of Lu Su and Jiang Ji's coming was to witness with their own eyes Liu Qi's surrender of the throne of emperor. No matter what the means behind the scenes, Liu Qi's actions were real and in full view of the public.

Jiang Ji was not in a good mood. He was an envoy of the imperial court. Originally, the King of Jin was a minister of the Han Dynasty in name, but now Lu Bu wanted to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. As for Liu Qi, he was just pushed out by Lu Bu to provide a name for him to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

Just support.

Even if Lu Bu does not have Liu Qi in his hands, can it still prevent Lu Bu from ascending to the throne? After the strength in the hands of the princes increases, corresponding ambitions will inevitably breed. Back then, Lu Bu dared to call himself the King of Jin without the permission of the Han Dynasty.

, is there anything else that Lu Bu doesn't dare to do?

From the fact that Lu Bu claimed to be the King of Jin and there was no turmoil under his rule, we can see how much prestige Lu Bu had under his rule. Under such circumstances, relying on the majesty of the imperial court, it was difficult to stop Lu Bu.

However, Jiang Ji, as the envoy of the imperial court, did not come forward to congratulate him. He represented the Han Dynasty, and Lu Bu's behavior was regarded as a treasonous act by an official in the imperial court.

If people congratulate him, he will be criticized when he returns to Xudu. Jiang Ji still understands this truth.

Lu Bu said: "It is a great event for me to ascend the throne and proclaim myself emperor. At that time, in Chang'an City, Xianlian and Shenli will be sold at 50% of the normal price, Jin wine will be sold at 70% of the normal price, and war horses will be sold at 80% of the normal price.

For sale, all other items, as long as they are provided by the Chamber of Commerce, will be sold at 80% of the price."

Everyone claimed that they were officials under Lu Bu's rule, not businessmen in charge of business, but Lu Bu's words would be spread through them, allowing more people to understand the situation at that time.

Mi Zhu predicted how prosperous Chang'an would be on the eighth day of the seventh lunar month, but Lu Bu's being able to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor was the biggest incentive for Mi Zhu. Now Mi Zhen already has Lu Bu's child, and the Mi family has also gained power.

Such a huge development, even Mi Zhu himself could not imagine that the original decision in Xuzhou could actually bring the Mi family to its current position step by step. How incredible this is.
