    After Zhang Yongde left, Lu Qi reorganized the military strength left by Zhang Yongde, eliminated the weak soldiers and returned home. The redundant generals were transferred to other armies as deputy generals, and gained 100,000 troops. The eliminated weak soldiers were given tax-free documents and returned home.  Later, it can offset part of the government's taxes.  During Lu Qi's reorganization of the army, he reported the military situation to Kaifeng Mansion, saying that Prince Yongde did not betray the imperial court in his heart, but only went astray because he was angry with him. Now he has returned to the imperial court and went to Youzhou to defend against the Liao Kingdom.  By the time Lu Qishu's letter arrived at Kaifeng Mansion, Kaifeng Mansion had already known what happened in Daming Mansion in advance. Lu Qishu's letter to Zhang Yongde was also known to almost everyone. Zhang Yongde bowed his head to Lu Tianfeng. Most people in Kaifeng Mansion felt that Zhao's  It is difficult for the Song Dynasty to last long.  On the day after Lu Qi arrived in the letter, something unexpected but well known happened in Kaifeng Mansion. The Crown Prince of Zhou asked the emperor to resign. He said that he was not capable of taking over the country of Zhou and asked the emperor to establish another one.  A virtuous man, the quasi-prince of the Zhou Dynasty resigned from the throne and was granted the title of Prince Zheng.  The prince's resignation was tantamount to announcing the Emperor Zhou's intention to abdicate to King Yu. Because King Cao became the uncle of Jishui, King Ji was no longer the governor of Guanlong, and the emperor's other sons were unlikely to be heirs. Ministers went to the palace to persuade the emperor not to let the prince  He resigned, but was blocked by Wang Jien, saying that His Majesty the Emperor was unwell and should not work hard, so the ministers had to go back.  In the Nuanting Pavilion in the Houyuan, Prince Zheng Xixun burst into tears and knelt down in front of Emperor Zhou to weep. Queen Zhou sat on the left side of the emperor and also wept sadly. Emperor Zhou looked indifferent and was obviously tired.  "Father, even if my son is incompetent, my father can pass the throne to Xi Jin. How can the great Zhou Dynasty be given to an outsider?" King Zheng cried sadly. In fact, it was not him who took the initiative to resign, but his father.  The emperor declared directly.  "Xixun, my father is asking you, do you think your brothers are better than Zhang Yongde?" Emperor Zhou whispered.  King Zheng's expression froze, and he lowered his eyes and was speechless. Emperor Zhou said: "It is stupid to do something when you know you can't do it. Zhang Yongde bowed his head and knelt down to Lu Tianfeng. What else can you feel wronged about?" "Father, I think this is what I do.  , The kingdom of the Great Zhou Dynasty was given to others, I am ashamed of Taizu¡¯s spirit in heaven,¡± King Zheng said bitterly.  "I am ashamed of myself, and I am ashamed of myself. If I don't want your brothers to be brutally killed, why should I be ashamed of myself." Emperor Zhou said with sudden annoyance, his face flushed, and his expression was filled with excitement and sternness.  King Zheng was so frightened that he kowtowed and said in fear: "Father, please calm down. I will know my fault. I will know my mistake." "Xun'er, please step aside first." The queen ordered in a startled voice, and stood up to help Emperor Zhou.  "Yes, I will retire." King Zheng kowtowed hurriedly in response, stood up, and left Nuanting.  "Your Majesty, please be patient and don't be angry." The Queen said in panic.  Emperor Zhou's eyes dimmed, and he leaned back on the big chair with a depressed expression. After a while, he said weakly: "Alan, have I done something wrong?" "Your Majesty, I understand that your Majesty has always been strong for the sake of my concubines.  We and our children have no choice but to compromise." The queen said softly.  "You have also seen that Zhang Yongde betrayed me. I gave Lu Tianfeng the opportunity to usurp his military power. But if he was a loyal minister of Bigan, he would not betray me because of the loss of military power. After all, he still has unwillingness to do so.  The ambition of the minister, he betrayed me when he lost his military strength. If I go and Xi Xun ascends the throne, he Zhang Yongde will inevitably usurp the throne. Ambition is the inducement of betrayal. Our son is incapable of controlling the ambitious minister. If the master is weak and the minister is strong, he will usurp the throne.  , I will not be willing to be inferior to others," Emperor Zhou said softly.  The queen nodded and said softly: "I understand, I am just a little worried. Can Lu Tianfeng tolerate Xi Xun and the others?" "Don't worry, Lu Tianfeng has gained my orthodoxy, he will only treat you kindly, because he doesn't have to  I worry too much that my son will rebel. I will inherit the throne. If Xihun and the others rebel, they will be treasonous. From now on, Xihun and the others will be able to become wealthy and idle kings if they don't control the army. From now on, Lu Tianfeng will only focus on holding heavy soldiers.  As a military minister, he asked Zhang Yongde to go to Youzhou, firstly to suppress the instability in the Yan region, and secondly, to restrain the father and son of the country." Emperor Zhou said gently.  The Queen nodded and said softly: "Lu Tianfeng was bold and actually let Zhang Yongde lead his troops to Youzhou. Isn't he worried that Zhang Yongde would rebel in Youzhou?" "It is impossible for Zhang Yongde to rebel again in the rest of his life, unless he is  Lu Tianfeng died, because if a person wants to achieve something, prestige is very important. Lu Tianfeng gently helped Zhang Yongde, let Zhang Yongde live, and used him with great respect. If Zhang Yongde rebelled without interest, the people would definitely betray him, just like  People like Zhao Kuangyi can't win over many soldiers at all. Soldiers have loyalty and blood in their bones, and most people will despise people who conspire and calculate. What is a traitor? It refers to Lu Tianfeng and Zhao Kuangyin, who can use upright conspiracy to win over them.  Military morale, even if you use conspiracy methods, try to be as shameless as possible?Can be found.  "Emperor Zhou whispered. The queen was silent, and Emperor Zhou whispered again: "It is precisely because they are good at using conspiracy that I fell into a defeat and raised a tiger into trouble.  " "Your Majesty is not defeated.  "The Queen comforted her softly. Emperor Zhou smiled and whispered: "I was defeated, but I was not defeated by Zhao Kuangyin and Lu Tianfeng, but by myself.  The queen was startled and looked at the emperor with puzzled eyes. The emperor whispered: "I made a mistake in governing the country. I emphasized martial arts and neglected cultural governance. Just like the imperial doctor said, if there is an imbalance of yin and yang in a person's heart, he will get sick."  " The queen was so gentle, and the emperor said again: "Martial arts are powerful, and martial arts can win hearts. The reason why Lu Tianfeng rises in the west is that he is good at winning hearts through martial arts. Lu Tianfeng calls it faith. Confucian faith can make people respect teachers and respect etiquette. Buddhism's  Faith can make people unite, Taoist faith can make people quiet and inactive. If the people's hearts are attached, the army's heart will be loyal, and if the people's hearts are resentful, the army's heart will be chaotic.  " The Queen nodded even though she didn't understand. She hesitated and said softly: "If Your Majesty is determined to pass the throne to Lu Tianfeng, it would be better to accept him as your adopted son and tell the world.  " Emperor Zhou shook his head and said: "If he becomes my adopted son, it will be harmful to Xi Xun and the others. If Lu Tianfeng becomes my adopted son, it will create a de facto crisis for the crown prince. In other words, Xi Xun  They have the qualifications of the crown prince, which may cause Lu Tianfeng uneasiness in the future.  " The queen nodded lightly, and the emperor continued: "In addition, the inheritance of my adopted son is the inheritance of the father's legacy. It is a natural and natural law. If a father gives his son the family property, there will be no great kindness. The abdication is my gratitude to Lu Tianfeng.  With this gift, Lu Tianfeng would bear a word of grace.  " The queen nodded in understanding, and the emperor added: "From now on, we must control the words and deeds of our descendants. Don't think of yourself as a royal family. Let your descendants study more and practice martial arts less.  " The queen nodded silently, and the emperor continued: "What I said about practicing martial arts is not to ban martial arts, but to make literary practice the mainstream. Things in this world are constantly changing, and blindly making future generations tend to be weak is not a blessing.  " The queen nodded. Emperor Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and looked out of the pavilion with half-open eyes. The queen said softly: "Your Majesty, I feel that I have devalued Xi Rang too harshly. It is better to restore the title of King Cao.  " Emperor Zhou shook his head and whispered: "Alan, I'm telling you the truth, listen. If Xirang is still for King Cao, he will become a big disaster, and you will be killed. Xirang has no virtue and incompetence, but he is also  He thought he had the power of an emperor. When he was in Hexi, he moved into the palace without any reservations. He was eager for quick success and greedy for women. Zhao Kuangyin sent people to give him women in Jiangnan, but he foolishly thought it was the general's flattery.  , if Xi Rang is still King Cao, he will become a puppet used by some oligarchs in the future. He is too easy to be fooled. As long as others give him a bait, he will bite the hook at all costs.  " The Queen nodded in shock, and Emperor Zhou smiled bitterly and said: "What happened in Luoyang is that I was completely disappointed in Xi Rang, and I completely gave up on letting my son succeed to the throne. Xi Xun was too weak and lacked the wisdom that an emperor should have.  , not to mention Lu Tianfeng, even Zhang Yongde couldn't control it, and in the end he could only become a puppet like Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. If that happened, it would be better to become a wealthy and idle king.  " The queen nodded, and Emperor Zhou sighed softly and whispered: "When Lu Tianfeng and Zhao Kuangyin decide the winner, I will move the capital to Chang'an City and give the Zen throne to Lu Tianfeng.  The Queen was startled and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to abdicate in Chang'an?"  " Emperor Zhou nodded and whispered: "I don't want to give this imperial palace in Kaifeng Mansion to Lu Tianfeng. As an elder, he can't say anything. As time goes by, it can be passed down from generation to generation.  "The Queen nodded and said softly: "Your Majesty, please rest your mind.  "The emperor nodded and closed his eyes, but his face was vaguely bitter.
