    During the Chinese New Year, Kaifeng Mansion was bustling with joy. As in previous years, the monarchs and ministers had a banquet at the Kaifeng Mansion Palace. The number of people at the banquet was only a lot more than in previous years. The difference was that the title of Daohe's country had changed. The crown prince in previous years became Prince Zheng.  Lu Tianfeng became King Yu, replacing the Crown Prince of Zhou and wearing a royal robe similar to the prince's costume.  The atmosphere of the banquet was very natural. King Yu Lu Tianfeng and King Ji toasted the ministers on behalf of His Majesty. Princess Yu Lin Xiaodie was also dressed in a gorgeous dress. Together with the three wives of Prince Yu, they paid New Year greetings to the elders and gave gifts to the younger ones. Everything was harmonious.  scene.  After the New Year, Lu Qi, his wife, and the ministers returned to Chang'an City one after another. Before leaving, he issued an edict from King Yu, granting 50% of the tax to Kaifeng Prefecture in the capital to belong to King Zheng, and King Zheng would take care of his family's expenses and worship Yong.  According to the imperial system.  There is also an edict that officially appoints Xue Juzheng as the envoy to the Shangdu, King Ji is appointed as the governor of Kaifeng, and all other officials and yamen functions of the Kaifeng mansion are transferred to the official system of accompanying the capital. The inner court of the Shangdu is also established, Wang Jien is appointed as the governor, and Han  Tong was the capital of Yuhou, the 5,000-strong army that belonged to the inner court, and Han Tong's 3,000-strong bodyguard army also belonged to the inner court.  From then on, although Kaifeng Mansion still belonged to its original power and was managed by Emperor Dayu, its nominal functions became that of a companion capital. In addition, there were other guards with different surnames such as kings, princes, dukes, marquises, etc.  All belong to the Inner Court Guard Temple for deployment and supplies, and a group of old and new nobles can only have the number of Yi Guards and the Inner Court military forces that have been ordered to garrison.  Lu Qi returned to Chang'an City and continued to work on the stability and governance of the Dayu Empire. Many imperfect systems needed to be filled in time, especially the establishment of the inner court, which caused a lot of local discomfort.  Inquiries and reports of documents continued to flow in. Fortunately, Lu Qi's establishment of the inner court was supported by the northern governors headed by Zhao Pu, who helped Lu Qi straighten out the organization of the inner court and watched indifferently without any resistance.  In the blink of an eye, spring blossomed. According to the actual situation, Lu Qi postponed the civil and military examinations for three months to give participants time to prepare for the preliminary examination. Because of Lu Qi's request, many liberal arts candidates wrote letters requesting time to study, and some  Lu Qi wrote a letter to refute Lu Qi's actions. Lu Qi responded very directly. If it can't benefit people's livelihood, why should I open a subject and get an official position? I can just recommend it directly.  Lu Qi couldn't leave to go back to Fuzhou to see his relatives. When he returned to Chang'an City, he sent greetings to his relatives, wrote a letter to his mother to kowtow and apologize, and asked her mother if she could come to Chang'an in the spring. Lu's mother wrote back to reassure him and said nothing.  I wish to go to Chang'an and return to Shidai County in the spring, asking Lu Qi to focus on national affairs and not to be distracted. When things are really stable, they can go to Chizhou for reunion.  On this day, Lu Qi's relatives suddenly came to Chang'an City and gave Lu Qi a surprise. His mother did not come, but his sister Xiaoyan, five lovers and children came over. The children called "Daddy" cutely.  Lu Qi hugged them one by one happily. The five lovers who came here were Chen Xiang'er, Chen Xue'er, Chen Zhu'er, Xiaomei and Song Yu'er. However, the fifth daughter of Xin Yun'er and Xiaodie went back to Jiangnan to reunite with their children and visit Mother Lu.  Zhe Xiangyue returned to Fuzhou.  After liking it for a while, Lu Qi asked his lover and children to visit Xiaofu, leaving his sister Xiaoyan alone. Xiaofu had already given birth to a son. After coming to the Daming Palace in Chang'an City, he has been living in the still intact Wanchun Palace.  During the simple renovation of the residence hall, the country was initially determined, and it was impossible for Lu Qi to renovate the Daming Palace on a large scale.  Seeing his children turning around and waving their hands before disappearing, Lu Qicai looked at his younger sister Xiaoyan and smiled at the slim little sister.  Long time no see, my sister Xiaoyan is already an eighteen-year-old beauty, with an oval face, curved eyebrows and a small mouth, beautiful eyes and straight nose, skin as white as snow, elegant and graceful temperament, charming and charming.  Xiaoyan fainted at the sight of her brother, and whispered shyly: "Brother Qi." Lu Qi smiled happily, reached out to help her sister and walked to the seat to sit down. She smiled and said: "Brother Qi heard what Xiaofu said, you  "I have been living in Suzhou."  If I stay in Fuzhou, I will tell my mother to let me go back to Suzhou." Lu Qi nodded and said with a smile, "Brother Qi knows that Sister Tianyue is married. Do you have someone you like?"  , whispered: "No." "Really no, there is no need to hide it from Brother Qi." Lu Qi said with a smile.  He heard Xiaofu say that there were more than twenty people in Jin who proposed to Xiaoyan, but her mother always refused. The reason why Xiaoyan didn't want to stay in Fuzhou was because there were too many people who were fawning over Xiaoyan, especially  It was Lu Qi's women. As sisters-in-law, they all respected Xiaoyan, which made Xiaoyan very uncomfortable.  "Seventh brother, there really is no such thing." Xiaoyan whispered.  Lu Qi nodded. He knew that the reason why Xiaoyan never got engaged was because his mother deliberately left it to him to make the decision. Her mother was an official, so of course she valued the relationship between in-laws, but Sister Tianyue was not old enough to wait for a long time.Marry.  "Xiaoyan, Qi Brother said that I only want you to marry the person you like. If you meet someone you like, you can tell Qi Brother secretly and Qi Brother will make the decision for you." Lu Qi said gently.  Xiaoyan nodded lightly, and then said softly: "Brother Qi, I'm going to visit Sister-in-law Xiaofu." Lu Qi nodded, smiled and said: "Go." After his sister left, Lu Qi stood up and walked out of the Zichen Palace, standing in the harem  Looking at the ruins everywhere and the busy craftsmen in the distance, I thought briefly in my heart that my little sister is not young anymore. It will be difficult to choose a suitable husband after another two years, because handsome men over 20 who are not yet married are not  There were many, but Lu Qi smiled bitterly after thinking about it. Most of the characters in his mind were generals and ministers. If there were any suitable ones, it seemed that he could only take a look after the imperial examination.  Five days later, Shi Zhongfei and Miss Fourteen arrived in Chang'an City. Shi Zhongfei firstly came back to report on his work, secondly, he took his children back to Kaifeng Mansion to visit relatives, and thirdly, on Lu Qi's order, he brought back more than 3,000 martial arts soldiers who had passed the preliminary examination.  Participants were all selected from Hexi and Beiting, but they were not necessarily from Hexi and Beiting. Half of them were soldiers from Jiangnan. Based on the actual situation, Lu Qi canceled the selection of soldiers from Hexi, Beiting, and Yan.  The two-year military service limit is exceeded.  Lu Qi and Shi Zhongfei had a good time drinking and chatting about Beiting. They also paid attention to the situation of the Black Khan Uighurs. Shi Zhongfei suggested advancing the four towns of Anxi. Lu Qi said that he would wait for the year after next. He needed to stabilize the north and the country first.  The Liao Kingdom won a great victory in the war, and they can advance into the four towns of Anxi next year.  When Shi Zhongfei left Chang'an, Lu Qi asked him to escort the three nobles and their children, as well as Xiaoyan to Kaifeng Mansion. Lu Qi asked his relatives to go back to Shouxian County and pay homage to the ancestral tomb on his behalf to show respect for the ancestors. The two of them  At the end of the year, they did not return to their hometown to worship their ancestors, which is good to say or not, but most of the relatives in Taiyuan returned to Shouxian County.  In addition, the Empress Dowager's birthday is coming soon, and Xiaofu can't go. Xiaodie may be able to rush to Kaifeng Mansion from Jiangnan. Xiaoyan is his biological sister and goes to pay homage to the Empress Dowager, which can show his respect. Lu Qi has to stay  Chang'an City is preparing to host the military examinations, but the liberal arts and engineering examinations are scheduled to be held in Kaifeng.  Shi Zhongfei took the order to escort and arrived at Kaifeng Mansion smoothly. On the way, the women got along quite harmoniously. Miss Fourteen was very close to Xiaoyan. Xiaoyan liked Miss Fourteen's frankness and naturalness, while Shi Zhongfei was still in Beiting.  Marrying four local daughters was Lu Qi's suggestion in advance, and his intention was naturally to divide the hostility of the Beiting people.  Shi Zhongfei arrived at Kaifeng Mansion and took the responsibility of sending the nobles to Prince Yu's Mansion. Two days later, Xiaoyan and her sisters-in-law were preparing to leave for Shouzhou. Unexpectedly, Duke Wei's Mansion sent an invitation. It turned out that Duke Wei had met his great-grandson.  , but she was so happy that she wanted to have a banquet to celebrate, and also invited Xiaoyan. Xiaoyan was reluctant to go, and of course she would not understand that Duke Wei's invitation to the banquet had the purpose of rebuilding his prestige.  The next day, the Duke of Wei sent a car to pick up Xiaoyan, but Xiaoyan didn't understand why the Duke of Wei only invited her instead of her sister-in-law and seventh brother's children. Of course she didn't know the taboo.  The Duke's stance is that, firstly, it is not appropriate to have a reputation for being fawning over the old and join the new; secondly, as a subject, it is best not to have anything to do with the prince. If Lu Qi's son is entertained at a banquet, it may cause Shi Zhongfei to take sides.  future trouble.  As for the banquet for Xiaoyan, Xiaoyan is the eldest princess and her status is definitely second only to the 'Emperor'. There will be no criticism or future troubles for inviting Xiaoyan, because Xiaoyan is close to Shi Zhongfei's wife, so of course it is suitable to participate.  A celebration banquet for the fourteenth lady¡¯s children.
