    At the end of June, Zhao Kuangyi led an army of 400,000 troops into the Central Plains. They were blocked by Zhang Yongde's troops in the Shouzhou area. The two sides faced off for five days. The person Zhao Kuangyi used to negotiate was beheaded by Zhang Yongde.  Seeing that Zhang Yongde refused to give way and wait, Zhao Kuangyi ordered an attack. A big battle broke out in the Shouzhou area between the 400,000-strong army and Zhang Yongde's 300,000-strong army. The result was a deadlock. After each side suffered 50,000 casualties, they entered a confrontation.  I want to keep fighting.  After the war, Zhang Yongde sent a letter asking for military rations. Emperor Zhou turned to Lu Qi to ask for food. He asked Lu Qi if there was food in Suzhou and whether Suzhou's military strength could go into the Jianghuai River to attack the rebels. Lu Qi's answer was that Suzhou might have food, but  Suzhou's military strength cannot leave, and he can currently use the grain stored in Hexi to provide it to the court.  After sending off the reply, Emperor Zhou's second inquiry arrived, but it was from the north that was in urgent need. He asked Lu Qi if he could detach his army from Taiyuan to support the north. Lu Qi replied that he was willing to personally lead the cavalry and 50,000 Taiyuan soldiers to the north.  , the military affairs of Guanlong can be handed over to Hexi Governor Yang Kun, and Yang Kun is recommended as the deputy governor of the Guanlong Governor's Office.  Five days later, the imperial edict from Emperor Zhou arrived, appointing Yang Kun as the deputy governor of the Guanlong Governor's Office, and Lu Tianfeng was granted the title of Zhenbei Xuanfu Envoy, in charge of military and political affairs in the north.  After receiving Emperor Zhou's imperial edict, Lu Qi understood Emperor Zhou's intentions better. This was clearly giving him the kingdom of Zhou step by step. Lu Qi had previously had a conspiracy to abdicate, but now, Emperor Zhou  The donation actually gave him an unspeakable resistance, because Emperor Zhou's initiative to give was a favor, and the favor would be a burden to Lu Qi, because he was not an ungrateful person.  In the current situation, Lu Qi had no choice. He was unwilling to cripple the Zhou Kingdom before, so he decided to seek a strategy-based approach supplemented by military power to enter the Central Plains. After crippled the Zhou Kingdom, the Zhou Kingdom  The people who survived would hate him for a long time, and the consequence would be that he would have to spend decades to recover and rebuild. That's why he came up with the idea of ??a false imperial edict and abdication, seeking to gain the legitimacy of the Zhou Kingdom.  Yang Kun had already arrived two days before Emperor Zhou's imperial edict arrived. Lu Qiben had planned to go to the north to assist in the war. The purpose was to increase the success rate of Zhu Wu's attack. The strategy of surprise attack on Yan's capital was not without risks.  However, Lu Qi was very worried.  Lu Qi led 30,000 cavalry troops to leave Fengxiang. Before leaving, he accepted Yang Kun's suggestion and sent a letter of apology, or a confession letter, to Zhe Weizhong in Hexi, letting Zhe Weizhong know that he was a member of the Jin Dynasty.  In addition, Lu Qi transferred 100,000 troops from Hanzhong to Hexi to make up for the emptiness after the loss of Hexi troops, and used Jin's 200,000 troops to dominate the defense of Hexi.  In fact, Yang Kun's suggestion was to tell Lu Qi that the 100,000 Jin troops who had gone to Hexi could not be concealed from Wei Zhong. It was obvious that they should ask for forgiveness. Now Lu Qi has occupied Guanlong.  and Taiyuan, the general trend has been achieved, and the advancement of the Central Plains is just around the corner.  Five days later, Lu Qi and Xiaodie arrived at Jinyang City. Lu Qi planned to let Xiaodie take charge of Taiyuan affairs. The reason was that the relatives of Shouxian County and the young daughter of Emperor Zhou, as well as the biological mother of the young daughter, were also related to Lu Qi.  Zhe Xiangyue would definitely not be able to cope with the two engaged princesses of Zhou State living in Jinyang City.  When Zhe Xiangyue saw Xiaodie, she happily ran over and hugged Xiaodie's right arm, calling her sister affectionately. When she knew that Xiaodie would stay in Taiyuan to take care of things, Zhe Xiangyue's beautiful eyes turned into crescent moons, and her little hands were happy.  She caressed her chest, looking completely relieved and pretty.  Next, Lu Qi and Xiaodie went to the palace in the city to pay homage to Emperor Zhou's concubines. Now he is the King of Yu. In terms of official rank, he should be in the first rank. In terms of title, he is second only to the emperor and the prince. However, the emperor's concubines meet the officials.  One level bigger.  Lu Qi came to see him as King Yu and Princess Yu, and Xiaodie became Princess Yu. Firstly, because of Lu Qi¡¯s sincere respect, and secondly because Princess Yu¡¯s status was no less than his existence, a symbol of nobility and authority.  , even the concubines and children of Emperor Zhou, as well as senior relatives such as Lu Dongsheng, must be respected and cannot show off their elder status.  Not long after the invitation, Yuwei and Xianghe came out with their younger brothers and sisters. When they met, they all respectfully greeted Lu Qi and Xiaodie. Xiaodie helped them up one by one while Lu Qi stood behind with a smile.  , at this time, Xiaodie is the leader.  After entering the palace, Lu Qi was not curious. This palace was still a building from the previous dynasty. The Duke of Jin did not move in at that time. Later, before the Duke of Jin rebelled, the enthronement ceremony was held in this palace. However, the palace was built  Generally speaking, the area is three times larger than Lu Qi's Kaifeng mansion, but the building and layout made Lu Qi very disparaging after visiting it.  In a so-called Tianfu Palace, Lu Qi and Xiaodie paid homage to the empresses. Then Lu Qi said goodbye and left the palace on the grounds of military emergency, leaving Xiaodie to socialize. Xiaodie will be in charge of affairs in Jinyang City. Can you ask questions today?  Ask the ladies about their living and food wishes.  Lu Qi left the palace and went to visit his relatives. He needed to seize the time to meet her.He had to rush to the north tomorrow morning, and his relatives were placed in the Duke's Mansion of Jin by Zhe Xiangyue. The Duke's Mansion of Jin was adjacent to the Taiyuan Mansion, and the two were connected by a portal.  Lu Qi returned to the government office and went to the Duke's Mansion of Jin to meet his relatives. His relatives were already waiting for him in a spacious and grand hall. There were more than 20 people, including six elders, and the others were with Lu Qi.  Lu Qi, the seventh generation, had a rough understanding of the situation and abilities of his clan relatives through chatting with Lu Tianqin.  As soon as Lu Qi entered the hall, everyone stood up to greet him. This time, Lu Qi did not treat him in a friendly manner. Instead, he smiled slightly and nodded. He walked straight to the main seat in the hall, turned around and sat down in front of the main seat.  After that, he said: "Fellow relatives, please take a seat." The Lu family's relatives sat down carefully, and no one dared to express their arrogance. They were originally civilians, and even in Shouxian County, they had to humble themselves when meeting Fang Zheng. Although Lu Tianfeng was  Relatives, but strangers. He knew Lu Tianfeng more as King Yu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a general with hundreds of thousands of troops.  Lu Qi turned to the left and looked at Lu Dongsheng, who was sitting at the guest seat on the left. He was very satisfied with Lu Dongsheng's knowledge. There were two main seats in the hall, but Lu Dongsheng, as the head of the family, did not sit at the main seat. This is wise.  In terms of performance, there is no overestimation of self-importance.  "Uncle, please take a seat." Lu Qi said with a smile.  "No, my nephew is His Royal Highness Prince Yu now, I can't lose my etiquette." Lu Dongsheng replied gently.  "Today is a family gathering. As the head of a sect, my uncle should be seated. Please take a seat." Lu Qi smiled and invited again.  Lu Dongsheng stood up and respectfully saluted Lu Qi: "Thank you, His Highness King Yu, for giving me a seat." Lu Qi nodded. Lu Dongsheng walked to another seat and sat down. Lu Qi glanced at it. He was just scanning normally, not wanting to see a middle-aged man.  The man actually lowered his head in fear, obviously afraid of Lu Qi's gaze.  Lu Qiwei was startled, and subconsciously thought: "This person can't be Lu Donghu, right?" "Oh, Tianfeng, that's your uncle Dongxian. He is a bit mediocre and can't see big scenes." Lu Dongsheng introduced and explained next to him.  Lu Qi smiled and nodded. He heard Lu Tianqin mention Lu Dongxian, so he didn't care. He turned around and said, "Uncle, this mansion was the former residence of the Duke of Jin. Although it is very nice, it can easily make His Majesty the Emperor unhappy.  , I am King Yu of Great Zhou." Lu Dongsheng nodded and said, "I understand, we will all move out today." Lu Qi smiled and nodded, and said, "Uncle, although I am King Yu of Great Zhou, I am not suitable to take care of you.  Please ask your uncle to arrange for your relatives to make a living as best they can in Taiyuan, and try to stay true to yourself and not act superior to others." Lu Dongsheng nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will restrain everyone and start living a life of self-reliance again.  "Lu Qi nodded, turned to look at his relatives, and said, "That's it for today. I'm going to talk to my uncle about something." The relatives in the hall all stood up, bowed to Lu Qi and left. As soon as the relatives left, Lu Qi turned around.  He said: "Uncle, I have just gained strength. It is not appropriate to attract criticism. People will never tire of it if I need it." "Don't worry, since I came to Taiyuan, I have never let anyone leave the house. If I make it public, I will easily offend people.  Try to let your relatives get the rich life by themselves. I don¡¯t advocate that you should be responsible for everything. That will not be a good thing for you and your relatives. There will be more and more relatives in the future, which will cause a great burden on financial resources.  Tired." Lu Dongsheng said seriously.  Lu Qi listened to Xinyue and nodded. It was a blessing to have this wise head of the family to suppress the arrogance and criticism of his relatives. Family affairs were the most difficult to deal with. It was said that the law was unforgiving, but the handling was generally not good.
