After doing kowtow in Ciming Palace, Lu Qi left Ciming Palace under the guidance of a eunuch and went to a pavilion to rest. There were bookshelves in the pavilion. He picked up a book and sat down to read. After a while, there was a eunuch. Serve tea. Lu Qi spent time reading carelessly, but in his mind he thought of his chat with Xiaodie. Regarding the word "Yu", Xiaodie told him an ancient classic story. The ancient Emperor Shun had a family named Yu, so he was named Yu Shun. The throne of Emperor Yao was abdicated by Emperor Yao. Before Emperor Yao passed the throne, he married his daughters Ehuang and Nvying together to Yushun. Xiaodie just chatted and explained the allusions about the word Yu, but Lu Qi was touched after hearing it. As a hero competing in the world, he is very sensitive to all kinds of beneficial miracles. For emperors, miracles are A kind of destiny is justifiable, it is an invisible appeal, especially the ancient legend of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, which has an enduring influence on later generations, and has even become a criterion for citing scriptures and cannot be desecrated. Emperor Zhou gave him the character Yu, which was an allusion to the allusion of lips and teeth cold, and reminded Lu Qi not to collude with others half-heartedly. Even the Queen Mother gave Princess Yuwei the title of Princess of Guo Kingdom, which further showed the deep meaning of lips and teeth cold. Guo State and Yu State are closely dependent on each other. In order to weaken the domestic troubles of the heroes step by step, Emperor Zhou can only accommodate and win over Lu Qi tenderly. However, Lu Qi is thinking about winning the territory of Zhou State step by step. The word Yu given by Emperor Zhou actually makes Lu Qi Qisheng came up with the idea of ??changing the name of the country. The name of the Jin Kingdom was decided in Fuzhou due to the situation. In fact, the name of the Jin Kingdom was inappropriate for competing in the Central Plains. Since Anlushan's rebellion shattered the Tang Dynasty, many short-lived dynasties have appeared in the Central Plains, namely Daliang, Tang, Jin, and Han. , and the Great Zhou Dynasty. If Lu Qi took over the Central Plains in the name of the Jin Kingdom, it would seem to be a restoration of the former so-called Great Jin Dynasty. The word Yu comes from the ancient land of the Yellow River in the Central Plains, and also includes the Wu land in the south of the Yangtze River. It can also be linked to Emperor Shun who had the Yu family in ancient times. The founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan, was named Tang Guogong by the Sui Dynasty. , so after the founding of the country, Tang was named the country. Lu Qi wanted to seize the kingdom of Zhou State. Military means were indispensable, as was the means of military conquest. He thought that if Zhou State fell into war, could he use the Yu character given by Emperor Zhou? , the big fuss was that the Zhou Emperor abdicated, and he could use the pseudo-edict to inherit the Zhou Kingdom's orthodoxy after the Zhou Emperor's death, or when the Zhou Emperor's power was over, and called on the Zhou Kingdom's subjects to surrender, with strong military power, and added Follow the orthodox call and compete in the Central Plains in a complementary manner. Lu Qi felt that this was a shortcut to successfully seize the rule of the Zhou Kingdom. Fists and principles could influence people's support. If people wanted to surrender, they would not question whether it was a false edict. If it was hostile, it was a real edict. will be slandered. In the final analysis, people need a high-sounding mask to pursue their own interests. Many officials are very worried about being rebellious. When weighing interests, they will also consider their reputation and the fate behind them. Reputation affects generations. Of course, this was just a backup strategy, but Lu Qi had already made the decision to change the country's name to Yu. Some of the country's names in Jin were worn out by predecessors. If they had not been used decades ago, then it could be After all, the Kuching Kingdom was very powerful, but the Jin Dynasty a few decades ago was short-lived. Because of the plan to fake the edict, Lu Qi then thought about the son of Emperor Zhou. The prince of Zhou was weak, King Cao was flashy, and King Ji was okay, but he was only fifteen years old. In fact, according to Lu Qi's opinion, Emperor Zhou should When a strong man cuts off his arms, he abolishes his elders and establishes his young ones, and directly hands over the heavy responsibility of inheritance to King Ji. If King Ji becomes the prince of Zhou, he will definitely be able to grow up in a short time. No matter how much he teaches, useless people like the prince of Zhou and King Cao will be able to grow up. useless. However, Lu Qi did understand one thing. A dragon gives birth to nine sons, and it is difficult for a son to be the same. There are not many princes in history who have both ability and political integrity. For example, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, a wise king, did not educate the prince well. In the end, the throne was handed over to a cowardly son, and as a result, Emperor Zetian appeared in history. It's still early for Lu Qi to consider the matter of heir, but he also knows that he is afraid that he will have troubles in the future, just like Emperor Zhou, who knew clearly that the prince was incompetent and weak, but he couldn't do it because the prince was born from the queen. , and with the support of veterans like Zhang Yongde, there was too much resistance to abolishing the eldest son and establishing a younger son. Moreover, as a father, he did not want the consequences of his son killing each other in the future. This was a worry that no matter how wise Emperor Zhou was, he had no choice but to worry. While he was sitting there, someone suddenly came from outside the door. He said softly through the thick curtain: "Your Majesty, my servant has brought snacks." Lu Qiyi was startled and said, "Come in." A palace skirt came in as the curtain opened. The beauty, holding the wooden plate in her left hand, walked softly to Lu Qi and placed the wooden plate on the table next to Lu Qi. "It's you." Lu Qi smiled and whispered. The beauty who came once gave him a winter coat."It's my slave. This pastry was sent by the princess. The princess was worried that the prince-in-law didn't eat well in Jiying Hall." The slave said softly, her face was a little shy, and her jade cheeks were slightly pink. Lu Qi felt warm after hearing this. He reached out and grabbed a piece of pastry to eat. While eating, he asked: "After I left Ciming Palace, were there many people who criticized me?" "No, only blessings." The slave replied softly. "Really?" Lu Qi whispered in doubt. "It's true. The Queen Mother is in charge of the marriage. No one dares to talk nonsense." The servant explained. Lu Qi nodded suddenly. He had ignored the authoritative role of the Queen Mother. Normally, the old lady in the official family was authoritative. What's more, the women in the palace would naturally know how not to cause trouble. Emperor Zhou let the Queen Mother make the decision. In fact, it was a blockade. After listening to everyone's opinions, whoever dares to say that the Queen Mother did something wrong, ministers can advise the emperor, but they cannot go to the Queen Mother to advise on harem matters. However, when it comes to the establishment of a prince, ministers can argue with the Queen Mother. "What's your name?" Lu Qi looked at the slave and asked with a smile. "My name is Xue'e." The slave replied shyly. "Xue'e, Yuwei, was your name given by the princess?" Lu Qi asked with a smile. The shy and coquettish manner of the beautiful slave aroused his affection. "It was not taken by the princess, but given by Jinggui." Xue'e replied softly. Lu Qi looked at Xue'e with a smile. Xue'e was a beauty, with an oval face, curved eyebrows and a small mouth, and her skin was as fair as jade. She was very delicate and pretty. Xue'e lowered her head at the sight of her, her cheeks turned pink and rosy, and her hands nervously grabbed the skirt in front of her. Such excessive shyness surprised Lu Qi, and her loving heart subconsciously turned into impulse. , he leaned forward, stretched out his hand to catch Xue'e's jade hand, and pulled Xue'e towards her. ah! Xue'e exclaimed unexpectedly. She threw herself forward and was supported by a pair of big hands. She turned around and sat in the arms of the Prince Consort. Then her waist was hugged. Her beautiful eyes also saw a smiling face looking down. She He bit his teeth in fright and shrank back, not daring to move. "Did I scare you?" Lu Qi whispered with a smile, but he felt that he was reckless. "Prince-in-law, slave, slave." Xue'e lost her position in panic. "Don't be afraid, I just want to hug you and talk to you." Lu Qi whispered softly, and Xue'e nodded lightly. "Are you twenty years old?" Lu Qiwen asked gently. "Twenty-one slaves." Xue'e replied softly. "How old are you when you followed the princess?" "I served the princess when I was eight years old." "What is your family background?" "I was born as a slave, and my father was the governor of Lu, but he was the governor of the Tang Dynasty. , and later died in the war, the slave was taken to Kaifeng Mansion and became a slave in the palace. Soon he was favored by Jinggui and served the princess. " "Oh, your hometown is Jiangnan?" "No, my hometown. It¡¯s Yangzhou, no one has crossed the Yangtze River.¡± ¡°My hometown is Shouzhou, which is far away from Yangzhou, but it should be the land of Jianghuai.¡± ¡°Well, I know that the Prince Consort is from Shouzhou. The beauty Xue'e chatted intimately and warmly for a while, but Xue'e was afraid of being caught by others, so she shyly left Lu Qi's lap. Lu Qi didn't dare to continue his misbehavior, ate most of the pastry, and let Xue'e take it. Walked away.
