boom! There was an ear-splitting roar, and an iron bottle one and a half meters long with six hoops on the bottle erupted from the mouth. Many sand bombs flew out from the fire, and the sand bombs scattered for more than a hundred meters. Lu Qi, who was watching from 20 meters away, nodded. Next to him stood a beauty wearing a beautiful bird official uniform, but it was Qingwen. As soon as Lu Qi returned to Chang'an City, he ran outside the city for inspection only three days later. He will be the supervisor of the secretly built thunder cannon. "Very good, the distance should be as far as possible and continue to improve." Lu Qi affirmed and ordered, and the supervising officials responded respectfully. After seeing the thunder cannon, Lu Qi and Qing Wen returned by car. In the car, Qing Wen said softly: "Your Majesty, that thunder bomb has many uses. It can be used to open mountains and build roads and quarry stones." Lu Qi smiled. He nodded and said: "As you said, if this thunder cannon is equipped on sea ships, it will definitely be invincible on the sea." "Then I also said that the world is a round body, does your Majesty believe it?" Qingwen said softly. road. Lu Qiyi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not. The important thing is not to affect the rule of the Dayu Empire. Only when my rule is unshakable can things that subvert the laws of nature be spread." Qingwen nodded, Lu Qi smiled again and said: "But I am very interested in the story about the empire that the sun never sets." Qingwen said in surprise: "Your Majesty wants to conquer the world?" "What's not possible? With thunder cannons and It is possible for sea ships to occupy more territory in the future. At least I will conquer Liao Kingdom, Dashi and Tianzhu, and let the Dayu Empire establish more guardianships," Lu Qiping said peacefully. Qingwen nodded, and Lu Qi said again: "I will not be an emperor who makes great achievements and is aggressive in military affairs. Without sharp weapons, I will not launch expeditions to expand territory. Only with sharp weapons can I expand my territory. If we want to be militant and cause domestic instability, I will be destroying myself." Qingwen smiled and nodded, and said softly: "The creation of heaven will allow your majesty to gain more." Lu Qi nodded and said: "Qingwen, I should go back to Shidai County to pay my respects to my mother. You will assist Xiaofu in making decisions on major matters in Chang'an City. From now on, you will be the envoy of the inner court." Qing Wen was startled and said: "Master, I shouldn't have taken away sister Qin'er's job." "Don't talk nonsense. The Zhongfu envoy is an inner court position. It doesn't necessarily belong to Qin'er or you. I can replace it with someone else at any time. As an envoy to the Central Government, if you were not an envoy to the Central Government, you might have gone to the royal palace to serve as Prime Minister. In short, except for the Nine Ministers, who are not easy to change, other positions in the inner court will be changed frequently, just like the governors of various states, He will not be in office for more than four years, and it will be decided by the court whether he will be renewed once his term is over." Lu Qi said solemnly. "Yes, I understand." Qingwen responded softly. Lu Qidao: "The operation of the imperial court still needs a period of time to complete and fill the vacancies. The establishment of the inner court is the basis for consolidating the imperial power, but there are also some incoherences with the outer court." "Sir, there is no coordination between the inner court and the outer court. , I think it is caused by habit. Some officials are not used to the existence of the inner court. It can also be said that they hate the existence of the inner court. Because the existence of the inner court makes the officials of the outer dynasty feel psychologically uneasy, and they have subconsciously become accustomed to the existence of one person. The way we govern the country originally meant that besides the emperor, the ministers were in charge of the world, but now the inner court has taken away part of the world's power. In addition, the ministers of the outer dynasties are also opposed to women and eunuchs taking over the local power." Qingwen said softly. Lu Qiyi smiled and said: "From now on, Qin'er will be the Prime Minister of Nandu Prefecture. After I return to Shidai County, I will go on a tour of the south." Qingwen nodded, and suddenly Lu Qi stretched out his arms, picked her up and sat in his arms. Hearing: "I have one more thing to do." ***** In the Zhengzheng Palace, Zhang Jie, the Minister of Zhongshu, was summoned to see King Yu. After entering the palace, Zhang Jie respectfully paid homage and said: "I pay homage to Your Highness. "Mr. Wen." Lu Qi sat behind the dragon case, standing next to Qing Wen. He said gently: "Shilang Zhang, you should know Mr. Wen." "His Royal Highness, I know Mr. Wen." Zhang Jie replied respectfully. . "I have asked you to come here because I want to ask you to do something. If you feel it is inappropriate, you can refuse." Lu Qi said gently. "Your Highness, please give me your instructions." Zhang Jie said respectfully. "You know the first queen of Lord Li. I admire the queen who was born in the Zhang family of Jiangyin. I know that Zhang Shilang has outstanding literary talent, so I would like to ask you to write a biography to praise the queen. Zhang Shilang can do it. "?" Lu Qi said. Zhang Jie raised his head and stared at Lu Qi in shock. He never expected that King Yu would write a biography for the former queen of the Lord Li. It was simply unbelievable that an emperor would write a biography for an unrelated woman. "I can do it, and I will give you instructions." Zhang Ji quickly responded respectfully, saying that what the emperor wants to do is what should be done. "Okay, the title of the biographyIt is a biography of Aya. You can record it from birth, you can add some miraculous rhetoric, sing praises to Aya, and write it into a strange woman. You can discuss the details with Wengui. If your literary talent is enough, you can write Aya Ya's achievements are said to be one of the reasons why the Yu Empire was established. "Lu Qi said gently. Zhang Ji looked at Lu Qi in surprise, and Lu Qi said again: "In a word, Queen Aya is a being comparable to a saint. She is the daughter of the sea, and her beauty will last forever. " Zhang Jie's spine felt hairy after hearing this. He could only grit his teeth secretly and said, "I will try my best. Once the book is ready, I will submit it to His Highness for inspection. " Lu Qi added: "As for Lord Li, just focus on praising Lord Li's literary talents. You can also add some romantic love stories. You can write down the aspects of mediocrity and harm to the country. " "I will remember this carefully. "Zhang Ji responded respectfully. "Don't worry, the legend of Aya will not be spread until after this king ascends the throne. "Lu Qi said. "I understand. "Zhang Ji responded respectfully, but he was secretly relieved, but he was able to have time to think. "Okay, please go ahead. "Lu Qidao, Zhang Jie resigned and left. After Zhang Jie left, Qingwen couldn't help but ask: "Master, why? A biography will be written for Zhang's daughter. " Lu Qi turned around and stretched out his arms to hug Qingwen and sit on his lap. He said gently: "It's just for a dream. When I was young, I occasionally dreamed of a woman named Aya. And you said that the former queen of Lord Li was , I once recalled that my previous life seemed to be named Aya. " Qingwen looked at Lu Qi in surprise. Lu Qi smiled and said, "Don't look at me like that. I don't remember whether I had a previous life. " Qing Wenqing, Lu Qi said again: "Don't tell anyone. That dream hasn't happened to me for a long time. Whether it's true or illusory, it's just a dream in the past. " Qingwen nodded and said softly: "Please remember this. " Lu Qi nodded with a smile, closed his arms and hugged Qingwen tightly. After a moment of tenderness, Qingwenfang took the initiative to leave with some concerns. Nowadays, there are many female relatives, eunuchs and maids living in the Daming Palace. It is not suitable for her to be in the place where the master governs. , which easily caused criticism and discord. After Qingwen left, Lu Qi sat behind the Long case to review the memorial. After establishing the inner court, Lu Qi gave the Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Council great local decision-making power. During his tour, , except for major personnel changes that require Xiao Fu's nod, all others are discussed by the governors of the Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Council. What Lu Qi does now is to take a rough look at all the court decisions, find out what is wrong, and be aware of them. After an hour, Xiao Fu came to the Li Zheng Hall, served Lu Qi new tea, and then stood next to Lu Qi with a smile. Lu Qi had already put down the imperial pen, reached out to catch Xiao Fu's jade hand, gently pulled his beloved wife and sat down. He hugged his soft body with a smile, "Qilang, my wife is here to tell you something. "Xiao Fu said softly. "What's the matter? Lu Qi said with a smile. "It was Uncle Zhou (father-in-law of Lu Tianhua), the governor of Huzhou, who wrote to his wife, requesting that Qi Lang accept Zhou's daughter. "Xiao Fu said softly. Lu Qi's face changed slightly and he frowned. The daughter of the Zhou family that Xiao Fu mentioned was the queen of Lord Li. She had fallen into the imperial palace of Kaifeng Palace. Lu Qi had just returned to Kaifeng Palace to inspect the imperial examination. Knowing that Wang Jien actually took the 'Queen Zhou' out of the palace and hid it in Prince Yu's Mansion, Lu Qi didn't blame Wang Jien for Wang Jien's fawning behavior at the time. Out of respect, she sent 'Queen Zhou' away. "I went back to my natal family in Jiangnan. "Xiao Fu, nothing happened between me and the queen of Lord Li. We just had a few words together, and then I ordered someone to send her back to the Zhou family in Jiangnan. "Lu Qi explained. "My wife believes what your majesty said, but it was just a request from Uncle Zhou's letter. My wife thinks it is not appropriate to refuse. It will not have any impact if your majesty has one more noble person. "Xiao Fu said softly. Lu Qi shook his head and said: "The Zhou family has my brother in marriage, so there is no need to marry me again. " Xiaofu looked at Lu Qi's face softly with her beautiful eyes, and said with a smile: "Qi Lang really doesn't want it. " Lu Qi nodded and said: "Absolutely sincere. " Xiaofu put her jade hand around Lu Qi's neck and said with a smile: "Qi Lang doesn't want it, but my wife is willing to accept it. " Lu Qiwei was startled, and said angrily: "Don't be ridiculous. " Xiaofu looked up with soft eyes and whispered: "My wife is not messing around. My mother asked someone to turn the letter over. Qi Lang can say no, but my wife cannot refuse. " Lu Qi's expression froze, and then there was a wry smile on his lips. Then he closed his arms and hugged his beloved wife tightly, pressing her soft body against his chest.
