"My lord, Lu Su is reporting! I sincerely request the overlord to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor!"
"Your Majesty, Bu Zhao will reconsider!"
"Your Majesty, Zhang Zhao reconsiders!"
"My lord, Mi Zhu reconsiders!"
Shu said: "Early Dynasty, inside the main hall of Chu State."
Xiang Ji, who was delighted to receive the imperial seal, naturally wanted to show off.
But I never thought that the group of old men and house owners below me would all dress calmly and calmly.
When they saw the imperial seal in Xiang Ji's hand, they immediately became furious and lost their previous calmness and calmness.
This, this is the national jade seal!
This is a symbol that represents destiny and the supreme status of this nation!
In this era, the ancients were still very superstitious about the so-called destiny.
Now that they saw the imperial seal in Xiang Ji's hand, which represented destiny, how could they calm down?
The ministers and nobles below are all core and high-level officials of the Chu State, and they all have their wealth and lives tied to the Chu State.
The Chu State is powerful, so they will naturally be proud of it.
Now, after seeing the jade seal passed down from the country, these ministers were even more excited.
As long as this game is in place, Chu State can legitimately take the next step and become a real empire.
Their overlord can truly ascend the throne and become that supreme figure.
The status of Chu State has been improved, and the status of overlord has been improved.
So, as important ministers of the Chu State, their status will naturally rise.
As for saying that the world is not peaceful yet?
Is this important? Just kidding, Chu State now occupies half of the world!
So Liu Bei and his ilk are just two states, and the emperor is still flattering him. What did the Chu State do to him?
Xiang Ji didn't feel that deeply about the excitement of his subordinates.
In his opinion, this thing, how should I put it, is a symbolic thing.
When you don't have it, you naturally long for it, but if you really get it, that's all.
For Xiang Ji, whether he is proclaimed emperor or not has nothing to do with whether he has the national jade seal or not.
Having said that, in the end, doesn’t it depend on how strong one’s own strength is?
If you are not strong enough, you will be like Yuan Shu and others.
So what if he proclaims himself emperor? Shouldn’t I be destroyed in a matter of minutes?
But what Xiang Ji is more curious about now is Jia Xu who is standing aside.
Other old men are so excited that their beards are standing up, why are you so calm?
"Jia Aiqing, what do you think about proclaiming himself emperor?"
The excited old men suddenly felt a thump in their hearts when they heard that Xiang Ji did not agree to proclaiming himself emperor. Instead, they went to ask Jia Xu, who was silent at the side.
Is this perhaps because the Overlord has not ascended the throne yet?
Everyone present is a human being, and observing people's emotions is a necessary skill.
Seeing that Xiang Ji was not enthusiastic about their proposal, everyone understood that the overlord probably didn't care at all, so they and their subordinates were the only ones excited.
"The Overlord has already made up his mind, so why bother to ask?"
As the first person to follow Xiang Ji and the person who knows him best, how could Jia Xu not know what he was thinking?
The so-called jade seal, Xiang Ji is probably possessive of things, rather than relying on it to become emperor.
With the current strength of the Chu State, even if there is no jade seal, who would dare to challenge the emperor?
Xiang Ji was still helpless about Jia Xu's answer.
This old poisoner really cares about things that don't concern him and doesn't like to say a word.
"My lords, please don't discuss this matter. The solitary king has no intention of proclaiming himself emperor now.
It doesn't matter whether we proclaim ourselves emperor or not. Our great Chu is now in this world, so what does it matter if we proclaim ourselves emperor or not?
It's already late autumn now. Please cooperate with the military. When spring comes next year, I will conquer Liu Bei personally!"
This is the purpose of Xiang Ji.
There is no rush to proclaim the emperor, and taking out the jade seal is just to tell his subordinates, Wen Wu, that you will have a future if you follow me.
After all, this thing was of great significance to the ancients, and this book is also clear.
With this thing, Chu State's entire centripetal force can be improved several levels, so why wouldn't Xiang Ji do it?
Winter is about to start now, so it is naturally not a good time for war. Moreover, Chu State also needs to recuperate, so Xiang Ji can only endure it.
I took out this thing today to encourage these civil and military officials to work hard.
As long as this winter is over, the recovered Chu State will naturally have the ability to conquer all directions.
As for the big-eared thief, Xiang Ji had no intention of letting him continue to be cool.
This guy ran all the way from Qingzhou to Jingzhou and then to Xichuan.
I'm here to see where you can go after taking away all of Xichuan.
Now there are only three overlord-level existences left in the world, which has become a situation of confrontation between the three kingdoms.
Xiang Ji also knew that Liu Bei and Lu Bu would definitely unite.
Lu Bu has a natural barrier at Tongguan, and it is really not easy for Xiang Ji to attack it.
As for the expedition from the Xiongnu land outside the Great Wall?
Seeing Lu Bu's fate, Xiang Ji was not going to try that.
When the time comes, I will be dumbfounded when this guy plays a tough game.
Moreover, compared to Lu Bu, Xiang Ji paid more attention to Liu Bei.
This guy is a very strong one, he gets stronger the more he fights.
Moreover, with Zhuge Liang's help, this guy occupied Xichuan and Jingzhou, and already had the capital to compete with others.
Xiang Ji doesn't intend to let him continue to grow.
If it were like history and the Three Kingdoms remained in confrontation for decades, I would probably become a shame among time travellers.
As Xiang Ji's order was issued, the civil and military forces of Chu State, whose morale was high, took action one after another.
Although Xiang Ji has not proclaimed himself emperor now, after seeing the jade seal, they know that in the near future, this world will definitely belong to their lord and overlord!
What Xiang Ji didn't know was that the confrontation between the three kingdoms he thought was just a flash in the pan.
Yongzhou, Chang'an Imperial Palace.
"What!? Damn it, how dare Ma Chao betray King Gu!?"
After returning from the defeat in Hebei, Lu Bu lost all his energy.
He has no more thoughts about fighting for world hegemony. Now all he wants to do is seal off the country and enjoy his imperial life.
But no matter what, the tree wants to be still but the wind doesn't stop.
He wanted to calm down and enjoy life as the King of Qin, but Liu Bei, who had occupied Hanzhong, did not want to do that.
Through Zhuge Liang's strategy and spreading rumors all over Chang'an, Lu Bu really believed Ma Chao's betrayal of him.
The angry Lu Bu couldn't catch Ma Chao who was far away in Wuwei, nor could he catch Ma Teng and his younger brothers Ma Tie and Ma Xiu who were in Chang'an?
What else is there to say? I’ll just leave you!
Yes, Lu Bu, in a rage, killed Ma Teng's entire family without delving into whether the matter was true or false.
Ma Dai, who was on business at the time, was not in the house and escaped the disaster.
