Chapter 1025 Book of the People
The next day, the nobles and officials of the Fire Nation came to the Great General's Mansion to persuade them again.
The officials also listed the past exploits of Skywalker and the long history of the Senju clan, indicating that Rope was the most suitable candidate for the daimyo regardless of seniority or origin.
However, Rope Tree also claimed that he was not virtuous enough, and he was afraid that the people's hearts would turn against him, so he once again refused to cut in from the ministers.
After this time, the people of the Fire Nation had a deeper affection for the Rope Tree, and more and more people supported him.
And the nobles and high-ranking people who were rejected were no longer as confused as they were last time, they had expected this outcome.
On the third day, the hundred officials of the Fire Country really landed on the General's Mansion again. This time, in addition to aristocrats and officials, media from all walks of life were also arranged for live broadcasting.
This is the third time that the hundred officials have persuaded in, and it is also the last, and the play must be performed more grandly, and it cannot be hastily ended like the previous two times.
And the people are also very concerned about the outcome of this matter, so the entire Fire Nation is paying attention to this matter through radio and television and other channels, and even abroad There are a large number of people waiting for the result.
On the morning of this day, Rope Tree wore a solemn official uniform and sat upright in the main hall of the Great General's Mansion to meet the hundred officials of the Fire Country.
The so-called "transfer the body, live and nourish the qi", although the rope tree is only a young man in his twenties, he has been in a high position for a long time, and has cultivated a temperament of a superior person, coupled with his momentum as a super-shadow-level powerhouse, the majestic aura on his body is even stronger.
Therefore, whether it was the people at the scene or the audience watching the live broadcast in front of the TV, they did not have any contempt because of his age, but were intimidated by his momentum, and all of them unconsciously showed solemn expressions.
"Ministers, see the general!"
After the nobles and high-ranking officials of the Fire Nation entered the hall, they all saluted respectfully.
"Everyone, please get up!" The rope tree sat on the main seat of the general, and there was a hand to let the ministers get up.
The nobles and officials present were all vassals of the daimyo like the great generals, and the rope tree was not qualified to accept the worship of everyone, but all the people who witnessed this scene did not have any sense of disobedience, as if the title of the hundred officials was taken for granted.
After everyone got up, a middle-aged nobleman led by him came out and saluted the rope tree and said, "The general has a lot of opportunities, and the ministers should not be disturbed. However, the state affairs are difficult, and I have to take the liberty of asking to see them, hoping to atone for my sins! ”
Although this nobleman is not a veteran nobleman native to the Fire Country, the people of the Fire Country know him, because he is the former Daimyo of the Bird Country who joined the Fire Country only a few months ago-Ogret!
He and Maitreya are natural allies, and they have a close relationship with the rope tree, and their status among the nobles of the Fire Nation also belongs to the top group! So although he had just joined the Fire Nation, he was elected to represent the entire aristocratic class this time.
Rope Tree asked in a calm tone, "Your Excellency Heron is serious!" I wonder why you're here this time?"
The big heron saluted respectfully and said, "General Qiyu." As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a king for a day. Now that the position of the Great Name of the Fire Nation is vacant, the people are panicked, and the state affairs are difficult.
Only the general has both talent and virtue to solve this crisis, and the minister risked his life to ask the general to be ordered to take the position of the daimyo in danger and save the people from fire and water! ”
As the former daimyo of the Daimyo is now going to act as a representative to persuade another person to serve as a daimyo, his heart is very complicated, but he does not show any flaws on the surface, and he looks sincere.
Rope tree shook his head again and again and refused: "This matter must not be done!" It is only by the grace of the Daimyo that I have the honor of occupying the position of Shogun. Now that the daimyo and the prince have both died unexpectedly, I have no shame to face the first daimyo, and if I steal the position of the daimyo, I am afraid that I will be scolded by the people! ”
The big heron said with a careless face: "The general's words are wrong!
The death of the daimyo and the prince is still the scourge of the daimyo's lack of virtue and mental madness, so what does it have to do with the great shogun?
The first daimyo entrusted the great general with the great responsibility, hoping that the great general would protect the entire society of the land of fire.
And now that the country of fire is full of disasters and difficulties, it is the time when the general is trying to turn the tide, how can he disregard the safety of the country because of personal honor and disgrace?
And the great general's position as a daimyo is really the wish of all the people, how can he be scolded?"
Rope tree shook his head and said, "You alone can't represent all the people!" How can you say such big things?"
"The ministers have brought evidence that can prove the will of the people, please take a look at it!"
After the heron finished speaking, two burly warriors walked into the main hall carrying a huge scroll several meters high and very thick in diameter!
"Boom!" The heavy scroll was erected on the ground with a muffled sound, and then slowly pulled away to the sides, unable to fully unfold even with the width of the entire hall of more than ten meters.
As far as the eye can see, there are dense names written on the scrolls with different notes, not to mention tens of thousands?
"What is this?" The rope tree, who was sitting on the main seat, looked at the scroll that unfolded like a wall, and looked surprised.
"This is a letter of the people petitioning the great general to serve as a daimyo!" The big heron said proudly: "The town government launched an open survey of people's wishes, and the people quickly signed the entire scroll!"
Although it is not possible for everyone to sign it due to time constraints, this letter of the people is enough to represent the wishes of the vast majority of the people of the Fire Nation! ”
The audience in front of the TV was also shocked by this huge book of the people, and at the same time sighed that Skywalker was so popular with the people.
This is just a show trick that the nobles of the Fire Nation came up with, although this scroll looks very huge, but it can only write hundreds of thousands of words on it at most, and even the population of the national capital far exceeds this number, how can it represent the entire Fire Country?
However, due to the exaggerated size of the scroll, this number has been magnified a lot in the eyes of the audience, coupled with the deliberate guidance of the big heron with words, so that everyone has produced the result of the national investigation and signature of this book of all people. However, they did not know that the so-called "comprehensive survey" was only carried out in certain areas of the national capital. In just one day, how could the government complete an investigation into the entire Fire Country?
Invisibly, the people of the country of fire are represented, but even if someone sees something wrong afterwards, they will not stand up stupidly and debunk it, the entire ninja world is still a feudal system, but it is not a cooking society, and the consequences of talking nonsense are very serious.
After showing off the so-called Book of the People, the big heron saluted with an impassioned face: "This Book of the People is enough to show that the general is the desire of the people!"
I also hope that the general will be able to comply with the civil affairs at this time when the country is in trouble, assume the responsibility of the great name, help the needy, and rejuvenate the country! ”
After that, the nobles and high-ranking people present also bowed down in unison:
"Please take the position of the great name and rejuvenate the country!"
