    After the opening of Xifeng Tower, due to the emperor's support and the use of luminous cups to entertain guests, Xifeng Tower attracted a large number of customers. However, the prices of Xifeng Tower were also reasonable, and they did not make huge profits because of rare goods. Therefore, although the business was good,  It's amazing, but it didn't get any bad reputation. However, because many customers couldn't eat, it made other nearby restaurants or wine shops popular.  Lu Qi came in person on the day of opening, and would not care about it after that. The next day, he went to visit the former Tang Crown Prince, now the Anyuan County Duke. The Anyuan County Duke saw Lu Qi. He was very excited and happy, and hurriedly gave  Lu Qi saw the courtesy, but Lu Qi stopped him, and finally went inside to talk as befitting a brother.  After talking, Lu Qi learned that Meng Shi had gone to the north to serve as county magistrate, and all the guards around the prince had been taken away, leaving only two eunuchs. In fact, he became a prisoner. Fortunately, the guards allowed the eunuchs to go out and buy  Things, so the eunuch went to Qingfengju.  But Lu Qi understood that it must be a hole intentionally left by Emperor Zhou, a hole that could incriminate him. However, Emperor Zhou could only treat Lu Tianfeng tolerantly for the sake of the overall situation of Zhou country.  Lu Qi comforted Anyuan County Duke and told Anyuan County Duke not to be anxious to go out. After more than a year, the confinement would naturally be lifted. He also told Anyuan County Duke that there was no need for Zhou to kill him.  With Lu Tianfeng¡¯s visit and comfort, the former Tang Crown Prince, who looked obviously haggard, has regained a bit of grace, that is, his mood has stabilized, and he has regained the aristocratic temperament he has cultivated for a long time.  After paying a visit to the Anyuan County Duke, Lu Qi originally planned to go and deal with the Longxi County Duke the next day, but Chengzhi Banzhi came and sent him the official uniform of the Minister. It was Emperor Zhou who asked him to go see him, and Lu Qi went there the next day.  Instead, he went to see Emperor Zhou.  Lu Qi has been to the imperial palace of Kaifeng Mansion many times. With the help of Xiaodie, he put on official uniform with large sleeves, as well as an official hat, jade belt and court boots. After that, he left the Western Jin County Duke's Mansion in a car. If he rode a horse,  That will become a boast that attracts everyone's attention.  The car arrived at the east gate of the palace. Lu Qi got out of the car and entered the palace on foot. However, the imperial guard guarding the outer palace gate recognized Lu Qi and respectfully let him go. Lu Qi was also familiar with the road and walked directly to Chui Gong Hall. When he arrived outside the hall, he  The class on duty went straight to the hall to report. After coming out, they asked Lu Qi to come in.  Lu Qi walked into the Chui Gong Hall and saw that in addition to Emperor Zhou after the Long Case, there were six ministers wearing purple official uniforms, arranged two on the left and four on the right. He knew Xue Juzheng and Zhao Pu on the left.  While looking at it, he walked over with steady steps, stood in the palace and bowed to Emperor Zhou first, then silently walked to the left side of the class and bowed down to Zhao Pu.  In response to Lu Qi's arrival, the Emperor Zhou and his ministers only allowed him to enter the class politely, and then continued the discussion. The matters discussed were nothing more than people's livelihood, military consumption, and banditry. It can be said that the actual current situation of the Zhou Kingdom was exposed to the naked eye.  Lu Tianfeng, an 'outsider', understood that Lu Qi had heard about the Zhou Dynasty meeting before, but now when he heard it, he knew that the Zhou Dynasty's financial crisis was much more serious than last time.  "It can't be a show, right? Why did Emperor Zhou let me know Zhou's embarrassment." Lu Qi doubted sensitively.  After half an hour, the meeting broke up, leaving Lu Tianfeng alone. Lu Qi stood up and saluted: "I pay homage to your Majesty, long live my emperor." Emperor Zhou smiled and nodded, stood up and left the throne. Lu Tianfeng understood that he accompanied Emperor Zhou for a walk.  , walked into the back garden, Emperor Zhou said calmly: "You are my son-in-law. In normal times, how about I call you Tianfeng?"  "My name." Lu Qi replied with a smile.  Emperor Zhou turned his head and looked at him with a smile, then turned back and said casually: "Xi Jin admires you very much. He told me directly that being with you feels very warm and feels like you are his elder brother. He also  I have thought about becoming friends with you." Lu Qi heard the surprise, but he didn't know how to respond. Being modest would appear to be hypocritical, and recognition would be disrespectful, but Emperor Zhou said: "What do you think Xi Jin's words are?  Naive? " Lu Qi shook his head and said: "No, I know that His Highness Prince Ji has a pure heart. His Highness Prince Ji is very wise and tolerant. When I am with His Highness Prince Ji, I only have peace of mind." "Then what do you think, Xi?  Are you suitable to be the crown prince?" Emperor Zhou asked calmly, but the question was thrilling.  "I can't answer your Majesty's question." Lu Qi paused for a moment before responding.  "It's okay to talk," Emperor Zhou said gently.  "I feel that His Royal Highness Prince Ji is not suitable to be the crown prince. His Royal Highness Prince Ji has a weakness, which is kindness." Lu Qi replied, since Emperor Zhou has provoked the topic of establishing a prince, he cannot shrink back.  "Isn't it bad to be kind?" Emperor Zhou asked back.  "If His Highness Prince Ji is the eldest brother, kindness is not a weakness, but if His Highness Prince Ji is the younger brother, if he becomes the emperor, his kindness will harm him." Lu Qi said bluntly.  Emperor Zhou was silent and passedAfter a while, he said: "You are saying that the brothers are at odds." "I feel that it is difficult for His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness King Cao to convince His Highness Prince Ji. If the two elder Highnesses are not convinced, they may expand their power, and Prince Ji  Your Highness's kindness will lead to the consequences of forbearing again and again, so I feel that it is not appropriate for Your Majesty to abandon the elders and establish the younger ones." Lu Qi answered straightforwardly.  Emperor Zhou walked silently and did not respond to Lu Qi's words. Lu Qi also followed him silently, but he was confused in his heart. Did Emperor Zhou really intend to change the heir?  He still believed it in his heart. After all, he heard that the prince of Zhou Dynasty was weak, that King Cao was a guy who showed off his inner emptiness, and that King Ji had already shown great potential as a king after experiencing the hardships in the west.  "Tianfeng, Shen Yilun, who was left behind in Jingzhao Mansion, submitted a letter to resign. He said that he was suspected of colluding with you and was guilty of the assassination in Qianyang County. I considered that Shen Yilun was old, so I approved his resignation and let him  Come to Kaifeng Mansion and enter the political hall." Emperor Zhou suddenly said.  Lu Qi was stunned when he heard this and said: "Your Majesty, do you have nothing to do with the stay in Jingzhao Mansion?" "It is Shen Yilun's fault. After you bought a shop in the West Market of Jingzhao Mansion, Shen Yilun's relatives also bought a shop in the West Market.  shop, so he wants to resign to avoid suspicion," Emperor Zhou said calmly.  Lu Qi was depressed after hearing this, and was secretly angry with Shen Yilun for making trouble out of nothing. He also said angrily: "If that old man comes to the capital in the future, I will definitely come and get close to him." These words were like those of a naughty child. Emperor Zhou felt very happy after hearing this.  With a smile, he easily walked ten steps into Nuanning Pavilion, stopped, turned around and looked out, saying: "After the New Year, I will ask Xi Jin to stay for Jingzhao Mansion." Lu Qiyi was startled, nodded in agreement: "Ji  Your Highness is capable of the job." Emperor Zhou smiled and said, "I also plan to mobilize 30,000 imperial troops from Xining Governor's Mansion and 20,000 troops from Huizhou to station them at Jingzhao Mansion." Lu Qi's expression changed slightly after hearing this.  He immediately sensed something was wrong, and sure enough, Emperor Zhou said again: "Tianfeng, I will appoint you as the envoy of Hehuang, Huizhou, Lanzhou and Kuozhou." Lu Qi was not surprised when he heard this.  On the contrary, it was hard to say that Emperor Zhou's move surprised him and he once again learned Emperor Zhou's wisdom. Now that Hehuang is under his rule, it is actually a burden because Hehuang was disabled and he took over.  Hehuang must have troops mobilized from Hexi.  "I thank your Majesty for your trust." Lu Qiyan responded with a sincere salute.  "Tianfeng, I transferred the Xining Governor's Mansion and Huizhou's military forces. In fact, half of it was for Xi Jin's safety. I don't worry about transferring other military forces to station in Jingzhao Mansion." Emperor Zhou said.  "Yes, I understand." Lu Qi responded.  "Tianfeng, after you take over Hehuang, if Jingzhao Mansion is in danger, I hope you can come to the rescue." Emperor Zhou said gently.  "Your Majesty, don't worry, I won't sit back and watch His Highness Prince Ji in danger." Lu Qi replied without hesitation.  Most of what he said was true. Lu Qi was a person who valued family ties. When he was with King Ji, he really felt that King Ji was his younger brother in his heart, just like he and Shi Zhongfei had a brotherly relationship after being together for a long time. However,  The premise is that the character is worth getting close to Lu Qi.  Emperor Zhou was slightly startled, and then looked thoughtfully outside the pavilion. Lu Qi could only stay silent for a long time. After a long time, Lu Qi suddenly said gently: "Your Majesty, it is not good to stand at the entrance of the pavilion for a long time. Go and sit inside."  Emperor Zhou smiled and nodded, turned and walked into the pavilion. There was a charcoal fire in the warm pavilion, but there were no eunuchs or Ban Zhi. The rules in the palace stipulated that the emperor and his ministers had to leave when they were walking, because when the emperor was walking, he often  Talking about state affairs.
