After a while of warmth, Si Zhuyu pulled Si Yu with her hand and took the initiative to retreat from Lu Qi's hug. Lu Qi turned naturally and asked gently: "Xiao Fu, why didn't Dieyi accompany you?"

"Dieyi is accompanying Qingwen. Qingwen is pregnant and cannot be overly tired. Moreover, there are lurking hostility in Chengdu. There have been four assassinations in the palace. My wife is worried about Qingwen." Xiaofu replied.

Lu Qi nodded, that was to not accept the adverse consequences of the surrender of the Han emperor. Even if the Han emperor was a fool, there would still be many loyal people who had been kind for generations. Song Laoqing killed the Han emperor and many ministers, which would inevitably lead to a tit-for-tat. If it were Lu Qi, Lu Qi would accept the surrender and then bring the Han emperor to Jin to support him. The surrender of the Han emperor would basically collapse the unwillingness of the loyal people who were kind-hearted.

However, Song Laoqing's approach is not wrong. His domineering behavior can achieve great profits and reduce the burden on Jin State. If Lu Qi had used to like to seek rewards in the way of the Shan Dawang, his mentality when he was a guardian county magistrate in Shida County was a Shan Dawang who was greedy for profits.

Xiao Fu came over to take off Lu Qi's robe. Lu Qi said gently: "Xiao Fu, Hanzhong is very cold, it's hard for you to get used to it, right?"

"It's very cold, it's colder earlier than Jiangnan, and it's much colder, but just wear more." Xiao Fu replied softly.

"If you are not used to it in the future, you can go back to Jiangnan in winter and come here in summer." Lu Qi said gently.

Xiao Fu was slightly stunned and whispered: "Is the master going to move the capital?"

Lu Qi nodded and said, "If you advance to the Central Plains, you will definitely move the capital to Chang'an."

"If the capital is moved to Chang'an, will Fuzhou be the capital?" Xiao Fu said.

"Of course it will be the governor. The territory of Jin State is large and difficult to govern. In the future, it will definitely be like the Tang Dynasty, which will divide the world into fifteen roads. The governor can decide several governors." Lu Qi said with a smile.

Xiao Fu nodded and said softly: "I don't know when the Central Plains will be classified as the territory of Jin."

"If you want to unify the world, you need patience and accumulation of various means. Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, endured in Taiyuan for many years, watched coldly and shattered the Sui Dynasty, and finally gained the support of the Guanlong nobles, and determined the Tang Dynasty with one blow. Those grass-roots heroes who were once powerful in the late Sui Dynasty finally became Li Yuan's footsteps." Lu Qipinghe said.

Xiao Fu Qing Yes, Lu Qi reached out to support her shoulder and stared at her, saying, "Xiao Fu, I won't talk about state affairs anymore. I miss you very much. I really want to be with you."

Xiao Fu's beautiful eyes nodded with tears, and suddenly turned his head and whispered: "Yuzhu, go and prepare the hot soup quickly and let the master wash the dust."

Yuzhu responded softly and left Siyu Sizhu. Xiaofu pulled Lu Qi with her hand and went to the back house to talk about the pain of parting.

Emperor Zhou returned to Jingzhao Mansion. With King Ji accompanied him, Yu Daming Palace summoned the five ministers and Cao Bin, took out two volumes of blank imperial edicts, and asked the six ministers to stamp official seals on the imperial edicts.

After retrieving the imperial edict, the Zhou emperor said peacefully: "After hearing this, the six Qing families will seal these two edicts after I write them, and I will hand them over to King Ji. In the future, King Ji can choose to act according to the imperial edict. I met an assassin in Hexi and had to prevent any trouble."

"I will obey it." The six ministers responded respectfully, and the ministers all understood the emperor's meaning.

"Song Qi, Zhang Qixian, you will stay in Jingzhao Mansion in the future and assist King Ji in governing the government." said Emperor Zhou.

"I obey the order." The two ministers responded respectfully.

"I am tired, please retreat." The Emperor of Zhou said gently, and the six ministers left with resignation.

The next day, the Emperor of Zhou called King Ji around him and handed over three imperial edicts to King Ji, asking King Ji to observe. After King Ji opened an imperial edict and looked at Emperor Zhou with an unexpected expression.

"My father wants to confer Lu Tianfeng the title of King Yu?" King Ji said in surprise.

"I also saw the other two." Emperor Zhou said peacefully.

King Ji lowered his head and saw two other imperial edicts. After seeing it, he looked at his father in surprise. Emperor Zhou said gently: "Are you surprised?"

"The father wants to abdicate the Great Zhou Dynasty to Lu Tianfeng?" King Ji said in disbelief.

"I don't want to, but I have to keep a backup plan. If you feel it is difficult to compete with Lu Tianfeng in the future, you can hand over the imperial edict of the king and the abdication to Lu Tianfeng. If you think you can inherit the great Zhou dynasty, then use another imperial edict to become emperor in Jingzhao Mansion." The Zhou Emperor said gently.

"No, Father, the fourth brother is the crown prince. My son will not be the emperor. My son will assist the fourth brother in inheriting the great Zhou dynasty and ask my father to take back the decree." King Ji knelt down and said excitedly with three imperial edicts in his hand.

The Emperor Zhou looked at King Ji lovingly, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "I have also hoped that your brothers can work together to protect the inheritance of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but your fourth brother is too weak and he cannot afford the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"Father, I have a son to help my fourth brother, so I can do it." King Ji said firmly.

Emperor Zhou shook his head and said, "A weak person not only has incompetent people, but also has fear and suspicion for those who are capable because of their own incompetence. You want to help your fourth brother, but your fourth brother will not trust you and may even take your life, just like the Lord Li, who has a narrow vision and only knows stupid internal fighting."

"Father, the fourth brother won't do it." King Ji retorted in fear.

The Emperor Zhou shook his head and said, "Don't expect your fourth brother to be kind. If your fourth brother inherited the throne, he would rather trust Zhang Yongde than trust you. Once I go, your fourth brother may become Zhang Yongde's puppet, so I might as well let you continue the throne."

King Ji shook his head and suddenly blurted out: "Why did the father have the idea of ​​abdicating Lu Tianfeng? Is Lu Tianfeng more trustworthy than Erchen's fourth brother?"

"If Lu Tianfeng is more trustworthy to you than your fourth brother, because Lu Tianfeng is a strong man, and he will not care too much about the threat to the weak. The imperial edict I gave you is actually a bargaining chip for survival. If Lu Tianfeng has obtained orthodox inheritance, he does not need to have murderous intent." Emperor Zhou replied.

King Ji was stunned, and the Emperor Zhou said again: "Only Lu Tianfeng can appreciate my abdication, because Lu Tianfeng needs orthodox status. Once Zhang Yongde or Zhao Kuangyin usurped the Great Zhou Dynasty, they will be able to eliminate the roots. I know them very well, because in their hearts, the Great Zhou Dynasty can be established by their efforts. In fact, I also admit that the Great Zhou Dynasty can be undefeated is the result of my efforts with them."

"Father, will Uncle Zhao and Uncle really usurp the throne?" King Ji said in doubt.

"They are already very powerful and have a deep influence on the Great Zhou Dynasty. They dare not usurp the throne. They are nothing more than scruples on each other. They dare not attack me first. But once I go, your brothers' prestige is not enough to compete with them. Most of the army gathered by Jingzhao Prefecture will be instigated by them. After all, you have not been in charge of the army for a long time. If you are confident that you can control the army of Jingzhao Prefecture, you don't have to hand over the imperial edict to Lu Tianfeng." Emperor Zhou said.

King Ji looked panicked, and the Emperor Zhou said again: "Xi Jin, you don't have to be too frightened. I am pessimistic and reserved a backup plan. If Zhang Yongde and Zhao Kuangyin did not rebel, it would be a blessing for your brothers. If they rebel, you must make a decisive choice."

"My son remember." King Ji could only respond in panic.

"I want to give Lu Tianfeng an imperial edict for many reasons. During my tour, Lu Tianfeng has always respected me like his father. He told me a lot about his father and also talked to me about his views on governing the country and military." The Zhou Emperor said gently.

"Oh, it turns out that my father is close to Tianfeng." King Ji suddenly said, and his spirit immediately turned Qingming.

Emperor Zhou said: "It is because of being close, but mainly because Lu Tianfeng has the ability and advantage of unifying the world. Lu Tianfeng not only occupied Longyou, but actually occupied Suzhou and Changzhou, with hundreds of thousands of military power in Jiangnan."
