    In mid-August, the autumn air is crisp, and people in several states in Taiyuan are happy. Busy harvest figures can be seen everywhere, including farmers, soldiers, businessmen exchanging supplies, and officials buying grain.  King Yu Lu Tianfeng is indeed true to his word. All the grain produced in several states of Taiyuan belongs to the landowners and can be bought and sold at will, but it can only be sold to the government and legal businessmen. The reason is that the grain cannot be allowed to flow to the rebels.  Lu Qi is still in charge of Dezhou, but the agricultural work in Dezhou is the result of poor harvest. The area north of Dezhou is also in famine due to the invasion of Yan army. The land of Qilu is also in famine. A large number of people are fleeing north because there is King Yu in the north.  If you provide relief, you can have porridge to drink. It is said that there was a good harvest in Taiyuan, and King Yu used money to buy grain to help Hebei.  Lu Qi is based in Dezhou. The southeastern part of Dezhou is adjacent to Qingzhou in Henan Province. It is now occupied by Zhang Yongde's forces. However, Lu Qi did not send troops to fight. After Zhang Yongde occupied the Qizhou area, he only stationed 2,000 troops in each state to guard it.  , did not replace the original political officials, but forced states and counties to pay taxes.  On this day, a guest suddenly came outside Lu Qi's military camp. He called himself Xu Xuan. After hearing the news, Lu Qi personally welcomed him out. He saw that there were more than ten people standing outside the camp. The first one was wearing an ordinary cloth robe and was over 10 years old.  In his fifties, his beard and hair are gray, and his face is slightly thin, but his demeanor is as elegant as a green bamboo.  "Master Xu is here, please come in and reminisce." Lu Qi smiled and saluted before leaving. He had met Xu Xuan in Jiangning, but he had not spoken to him.  "Xu Xuan doesn't dare, His Royal Highness King Yu has promoted you." Xu Xuan returned the greeting respectfully, and then entered the military camp with Lu Qi. The people who followed were greeted by the gatekeeper.  After entering the commander's tent, Lu Qi asked Xu Xuan to take a seat, and then said with a smile: "I have heard about Mr. Xu's 'Hequ Ode', and it is deeply touched in my heart."  Xu Xuan is very lucky." Lu Qi smiled and nodded and said, "Master Xu came to see you, what's the matter?" Xu Xuan nodded and said, "Xu Xuan came to see His Highness because he wanted to ask His Highness to make progress in Qingzhou. Now Qingzhou's farming is poor.  However, Zhang Yongde is exploiting Qingzhou with his military power, and the people of Qingzhou are really suffering." Lu Qi nodded and said: "To be honest with Mr. Xu, I can't fight Zhang Yongde now because I am not ready." "Your Highness is not ready.  Could it be that the military strength in Yandi has been contained?" Xu Xuan said.  Lu Qi nodded and said: "The land of Yan has basically been pacified. Now it is mainly fighting against the Liao army. Although Ding Guogong defeated the Liao army more than ten times outside Yanmen Pass, he and the Liao army are still in a stalemate. And in Yingzhou  They also fought against the Liao army, but they could only defend themselves undefeated. "Yingzhou? Your Highness's army actually extended to Yingzhou. As far as I know, Yingzhou was the Andong Protectorate during the Tang Dynasty, and Yingzhou was located there.  The vast territory in the north is the Bohai Governor's Mansion (Jilin, Heilongjiang)," Xu Xuan said in surprise.  "Master Xu is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Now I have established the Bohai Governor's Office in Yingzhou, and appointed Yang Yanzhao as the Governor, commanding 300,000 troops to fight against the Liao army." Lu Qi said.  Xu Xuan was startled and said: "Your Highness established the Bohai Governor's Mansion and asked Yang Yanzhao to command an army of 300,000 men. Didn't Yang Yanzhao's father Ding Guogong fight against the Liao army outside Yanmen Pass?" Lu Qi nodded and said: "Ding  The Duke and his son are both famous generals who are familiar with fighting in the north." Xu Xuan hesitated after hearing this. Lu Qi smiled and said, "If I didn't use the Duke of Ding and my son, I might not be able to resist the Liao army's invasion of Yan.  So I am willing to employ people without any doubts." Xu Xuan nodded understandingly. What Lu Qi meant was that it was worth risking the risk to reuse Dingguo Gong and his son. Although reusing Dingguo Gong and his son would have the risk of rebellion, compared with the foreign dangers of the Liao army's invasion.  , internal troubles are taken lightly, but this is completely opposite to Li Guozhu's approach.  After a pause, Xu Xuan said again: "His Highness now controls Guanlong, Hedong, Hebei and Yan. The only thing missing is Zhulu Central Plains. Are you going to replace the Zhou Kingdom?" Lu Qiwei shook his head and said, "Not in the future.  I am the one who died in Zhou Dynasty because His Majesty the Emperor of Zhou made me the King of Yu. " "Your Highness, you mean that His Majesty the Emperor of Zhou will really abdicate to His Majesty?" Xu Xuan said.  "It should be, so I will not replace His Majesty the Emperor," Lu Qi replied.  Xu Xuan nodded and said: "Now His Highness has taken over the general trend. If he can get the abdication of the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty, it will be worth waiting for. After all, regicide will have many negative consequences. Since ancient times, powerful officials will ask for it when they ascend the throne."  The abdication ceremony can achieve the integration of the old and new forces." Lu Qi smiled and nodded, saying: "Zhao Kuangyin has already mobilized a million troops and is about to start a war with me. If Mr. Xu still wants to return to Qingzhou, I hope Mr. Xu can.  "Go with the flow." Xu Xuan smiled bitterly and nodded, "I am a scholar, and I can only survive in troubled times."Lu Qi nodded, thought for a moment, and said: "Master Xu, I have something to ask you for help, but I'm a little embarrassed to ask." Xu Xuan was startled and said: "Your Highness, please tell me, I can't do anything I can  Decline." Lu Qi nodded and said, "Master Xu knows that my wife is Princess Wucheng. I would like to ask Master Xu to admit that my wife is Master Xu's biological daughter." Xu Xuan looked at Lu Qi in surprise.  "Why would His Highness make such a request?" "Because I don't want the former King Yong to become the father of the queen. I need the queen's father to be a virtuous, talented and elegant man." Lu Qi said bluntly.  said.  Xu Xuan shook his head after hearing this and said: "This can't happen. King Yong has a noble birth, far beyond my comparison." "I have a very bad impression of King Yong. When I was in Jiangning, King Yong never saw me. Later, King Yong  When the king was trapped in Kaifeng Mansion, I went to visit him, but King Yong deliberately wrote in the study and kept me waiting for a long time. Then he spoke condescendingly to me.  Xu Xuanqing, Lu Qi said again: "Later I returned to Kaifeng Mansion from Hexi, and brought a luminous cup and wine to visit me again. It turned out that he thought he was the emperor and asked me to assist him. I really couldn't laugh or cry at that time, and I was trapped.  Even though I was in jail, I still wanted to be the emperor." Xu Xuan frowned, and Lu Qi added: "I am able to be where I am today because of Xiaofu's blessing. Xiaofu and I have a deep relationship, so Xiaofu will always be.  My wife." Xu Xuan hesitated and said, "Your Highness, it would be ridiculous for me to compete with King Yong for a daughter. It will make people criticize and question her." "Master Xu, Xiaofu is not King Yong's biological daughter, but King Yong wanted to.  I used Xiaofu to gain power, so I recognized Xiaofu as my daughter. Xiaofu¡¯s biological mother was a dancer, and her biological father was dead. I can let Xiaofu¡¯s biological mother say that she was accompanying Mr. Xu before she became pregnant and gave birth to Xiaofu.  "Fu, as long as Mr. Xu doesn't deny it, it's okay," Lu Qi said.  "His Royal Highness's wife is not King Yong's biological child." Xu Xuan said in surprise.  Lu Qi nodded and said: "This is absolutely true. Xiaofu's biological mother is now in the Xiao family in Changzhou. It was Changzhou that was sent to Changzhou by Princess Yong. Princess Yong lied that Xiaofu's biological mother was dead, but I am in Kaifeng Mansion.  During the visit, Princess Yong told the truth because she was afraid that Xiaofu would kill her to avenge her mother. " Xu Xuan nodded in understanding. He had heard a lot about the affairs of Prince Yong's Mansion. He had heard about the murder between Princess Wucheng and Princess Yong.  It was the first time he heard about the mother's hatred, but she was not King Yong's biological daughter. He was silent.  Lu Qi didn't say much more. He needed to change Xiao Fu's background. If King Yong became the head of the country, firstly, he would not like it, and secondly, it would cause the hidden danger of his relatives becoming powerful. He could not let the royal family of Lord Li have any chance.  When opportunities arise, treating them well will also limit the power.  Xu Xuan was chosen as Xiaofu's paternal origin. First, Xu Xuan was very famous in Jiangnan. Second, Xu Xuan did something for Lu Qi, and Lu Qi wanted to repay him. Third, the most important thing was that Lu Qi needed to quickly establish a new relationship.  The power of civil servants, if Xu Xuan became the father of the queen, he would be able to quickly gain the support of a group of civil servants. Civil and military skills need to be balanced as soon as possible.  After a long while, Xu Xuan nodded and said: "I am willing to share your worries for Your Highness. It is my honor to be the father of His Highness's wife." Lu Qi smiled and nodded. Xu Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness said that Zhao Kuangyin raised an army of one million,  Your Highness is confident to deal with it." Lu Qiyi smiled and said: "My military strength is only much greater than that of Zhao Kuangyin." "But His Highness's military strength is contained in Yandi, Taiyuan, can the military forces in Guan and here support each other in time.  ?" Xu Xuan said worriedly.  "Don't be afraid, I have the Kingdom of Jin." Lu Qi said casually.
