My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 712: The road is so rough that I can’t finish it.

"This is the palace. My own sister."

"Not to mention that this thing will never succeed, His Majesty will be unhappy if he finds out. Then you won't have to worry about losing favor anymore."

Lu Ze is now feeling overwhelmed.

"Why don't you let me pick the moon down for you? That will be easier."

"I can't stand it anymore. Life in this palace is like being in prison. I'm not happy at all." Lu Zhi was actually forced into a corner. She studied in the same place all day long. It would have been fine if she didn't have any thoughts in her mind, but she had so many thoughts.

Naturally, Lu Zhi couldn't stay there.

Lu Ze wandered around Lu Zhi's palace twice, looking at the huge palace that only had some women's ornaments.

Lu Ze suddenly realized the problem. "You can't do this. You have to give birth to a child for His Majesty. It will be hard for you to be alone in the palace."

Lu Zhi was immediately embarrassed and angry, her face flushed with anger, "How can I seduce a man like this?"

Lu Zhi is now exactly twenty-five years old.

At this age, it is indeed easy for something to happen if you are alone in an empty room.

"Sister, what are you talking about? Back then, when our Lu family met the Crown Prince, the whole family was a little panicked. The Crown Prince summoned you to join him. Have you forgotten what you said at that time?"

"Sister, you say this may be a good opportunity sent by God, not necessarily a disaster."

"Later, my sister insisted that my brothers and I stay with His Majesty. This is an opportunity, and we must work hard to seize it."

"My sister always says that happiness and joy must be earned by oneself. We can't just wait for God to give us rewards. Why is my sister so timid now?"

"Besides, giving birth to offspring is a big deal. As an official concubine in the harem, it is my duty to give birth to children for the emperor."

"Your Majesty has few offspring, and your subjects will also criticize you for this."

After Lu Ze spoke for a while, he raised the matter to the level of the country, and Lu Zhi's blushing face turned pale again.

"This...I. But I am not as pretty as Madam Han. She is simply as beautiful as a fairy."

"Does beauty alone mean the way to gain favor? Sister boasts that she has read so many books, is there no other way? Moreover, your current physical condition is a good time to have a baby. I heard that it is harmful to a woman's health to have a baby when she is too young or too old."

"Now our little sister Lu Shang already has a son, and you are still here sleeping alone every day. If you have a child, at least you will have some comfort in your heart."

When Lu Zhi's heart was touched, she first rolled her eyes and glared at her elder brother, and then her nostrils followed suit.

She sat on the couch and twisted her hands together. She wanted to cry, but had to hold it back.

Lü Ze looked at Lü Zhi's appearance and posture, and felt that she looked like an ignorant little girl. He was even more worried.

He also comforted Lu Zhi, saying, "Although you are not a natural beauty, compared to other women in the world, I think you are still quite pretty and beautiful. Don't underestimate yourself."

Lü Zhi squinted her eyes and looked at Lü Ze unhappily, "I said, let me leave the palace. I really can't do this kind of thing."

"You can't leave the palace. If the news gets out, I'm afraid your life will be in danger." Lu Ze suddenly thought of something and said, "Do you know why the current emperor is more popular than the emperor?"

"Is this something I can say?" Lü Zhi was a little panicked and looked around at the door.

"It's all about enfeoffment. Your Majesty's enfeoffment conforms to the will of the ministers. I only think about the present, so of course I find these days difficult. If you give birth to a son, he will be enfeoffed as a prince in the future. At that time, I will have the opportunity to become the queen mother of a country."

Lu Zhi was also quite ambitious and was unwilling to be inferior to others.

She wanted to leave and find another way out because she was out of favor in the palace.

The main thing was that everyone in the palace was competing for the emperor's favor, and for Lu Zhi, the process was somewhat despicable.

Although Lü Zhi was cruel, she had a very positive outlook on life in some aspects. This little girl from a rural landlord's family had seen the ugly faces of people fighting for petty gains since she was a child.

It is precisely because of her positive values ​​that God always gives her good luck.

But it is also because of her correct values ​​that this woman is destined to do some very crazy things in the future.

For example, I don't hurt others, but you hurt me. For Lu Zhi, that is worth her revenge a hundred times.

Because Lu Zhi always just wanted to be a good person in this world.

The tragedy of life often begins with self-imbalance.

When no one provoked or hurt Lu Zhi, she would think that this was the result of her kindness; but when someone provoked and hurt her, she would think that she was humiliated and her worldview was impacted.

Men are indeed more ruthless than women when doing things, but men are often more loyal than women.

Women are said to be soft and tender, and unable to take on big responsibilities. But when a woman is pushed to the limit, she will do anything desperate, and she will even dig up your ashes.

Tai Chi is divided into Yin and Yang. The most masculine person has the softest heart; the most feminine person has the most indestructible thing in his heart.

Lu Ze had no idea that his well-intentioned advice to his sister would actually lead Lu Zhi down a path she had never thought of.

After Lu Ze left, Lu Zhi sat alone in the palace.

Her maids were not on the same page with her.

Because Lu Zhi was a very innocent and noble person. She was unwilling to do things to curry favor with others, and was even more unwilling to use tricks to frame each other in private while being sisters on the surface with the concubines.

This led to Lü Zhi being unpopular in the palace. As a master, you cannot be favored. This palace is not a place for good men and women to live. The treatment of eunuchs, guards, and palace maids is determined by how others treat Lü Zhi.

Not even attending the tea parties held by the concubines, Lu Zhi was essentially isolated.

The eunuchs and palace maids in this palace were naturally looked down upon.

As time went by, everyone felt that Lu Zhi was a little weak and was a hopeless case.

The maids were also dissatisfied with Lu Zhi because she failed to give them enough benefits.

Moreover, many maids in this palace had better family backgrounds than Lu Zhi.

There are a lot of complaints about her.

At night, some of the palace maids were not on duty and ran away to other places.

This is the reality. It doesn't mean that once you become a concubine, you can rest easy and never have to worry about food and drink.

In the middle of the night, Lu Zhi still had to pour water and make jujube tea by herself.

It was cold in winter, and Lu Zhi curled up in her quilt alone. The eunuch in charge of the palace didn't want to make things difficult for her, and gave her charcoal according to her quota, but after the manipulation of her own palace servants, there was always not enough charcoal at night.

Lu Zhi sat beside the copper stove, looking at the moon, missing her deceased grandmother and mother.

"Lü Zhi, Lü Zhi, do you really want to live like this? Among all the family members, you are probably the one who worries your mother the most."

The Lu family didn't really have much ambition. As long as they had enough food and drink and lived in peace, they were already very satisfied with their lives.

In the past year, people all over the world still felt that they were living in troubled times.

The thoughts of the Lu family are no different from the thoughts of thousands of ordinary peasant families.

But now, the two brothers of the Lu family are working for the emperor. They cannot be said to be rich and powerful, but they are very comfortable; their sister has also married a Qin official in Xianyang.

It is equivalent to that the whole family is within the system, but only Lu Zhi's life is unhappy.

Lu Ze's words often lingered in Lu Zhi's ears.

"If you give birth to a son, he can become a prince in the future."

From then on, Lu Zhi began to struggle for this sentence.
-
Lu Zhi finally got her fighting spirit ignited.

When her brother told her that it was impossible to leave the palace, in order to avoid living a mediocre life for the rest of her life, she decided to give Fusu a son.

But the next morning, Lu Zhi, who had just started to put on makeup and dress up, scared her personal maid, thinking she had taken the wrong medicine. The main reason was that Lu Zhi had no ambition in the past.

Moreover, this Lu Zhi once saw a bird injured and she climbed the ladder to rescue the bird and put it back into the cage. It makes people feel disgusted.

Xianyang Palace is not a place to raise good men and women. On the contrary, it is a place where men and women are bullied.

The bullies in higher positions bully the weak, which is a habit that has been developed over the past hundred years under the strict hierarchical system implemented by the Qin State.

A woman like Lu Zhi would not survive more than three months in the palace.

But he survived.

Sometimes, being a little prettier is actually a good thing. Women won't be too jealous when seeing her and want to kill her. Men won't feel too disgusted when seeing her, but will instead think that Lu Zhi is very well behaved.

In ancient times, Lu Zhi was a standard cute loli.

However, Lu Zhi's fighting spirit was ignited.

Fusu's heart was filled with a faint sadness.

He thought he had done nothing wrong, but why did the faces of the ministers look strange when he attended court that day?

Fusu went to ask Wei Liao for advice, but Wei Liao sent a little boy to tell him that he wanted to write a military strategy and would stay indoors for several months.

Seeing Liao treating him like this, Fusu felt helpless.

It was obvious that he knew why, but he just wouldn't say it.

Soon all the ministers will come to congratulate him, and then they will go back to their homes. The palaces and mansions will be closed, and people all over the world will celebrate the New Year.

Fusu also wants to take a vacation.

But Fusu always felt that something was going to happen, and he was very uneasy.

Fusu called Ji Bu and asked him to drink with him.

Ji Bu felt flattered by the emperor's favor. Although the person had arrived, he was still very alert.

In the end, Fusu just asked him to go fishing with him by the Wei River.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the Little Ice Age had not yet ended. Although some of the vegetation in Xianyang was still green, the river was covered with ice.

Fusu ordered his men to dig a hole and sat on the shore to fish.

No fish will not take the bait.

Soon, the basin on one side was filled with fish.

Fusu's eyebrows were covered with layers of ice crystals, and he didn't speak a word from beginning to end.

Ji Bu originally thought that the emperor had asked him to come here to hunt, but the emperor came here to fish. Fishing would have been fine, but the fish always came ashore, and the emperor was not happy.

After standing there for an hour, Ji Bu finally fell into the trap.

"Your Majesty, is there anything that worries you?"

"Am I worried?"

Ji Bu was stunned and stared at Fusu's expression again and again, and saw that the emperor was indeed gloomy.

Ji Bu looked at the ice surface.

"Your Majesty caught a hundred fish today, and it's almost the end of the year. Logically, you should be celebrating your ascension to the throne. But Your Majesty has never smiled."

Fusu asked calmly, "Haven't I ever laughed?"

Ji Bu: “No.”

Lu Ze didn't know what the emperor was going to do, so he stood by and said nothing.

"If Your Majesty has any difficulties, please send me."

"I am the emperor. I am asking a captain to do something that makes me feel embarrassed. Isn't this putting you in a difficult position?"

Ji Bu was a little confused by the question.

What exactly does His Majesty the Emperor want to do?

But Ji Bu is not a man who would be stumped by problems.

"Your Majesty, what you said seems to make sense, but in fact it makes no sense at all."

Shao Ping, who was present, was surprised. He opened his mouth and eyes wide and looked at Ji Bu.

"Governing a country is something that your Majesty cannot accomplish alone. The meaning of the existence of a minister is to help the king solve his problems. If a minister cannot help the king solve his problems, then what is the meaning of the minister's existence?"

"Good. Well said." Fusu's tone was full of praise, but he suddenly changed the subject and looked at Ji Bu sharply, "What if the ministers create troubles for the king?"

Ji Bu was stunned.

But soon, he calmed down.

"Everything has its reasons. Although I don't know what it is, it may not be a bad thing for an official to make Your Majesty worried."

Fusu burst into laughter.

"There are always some people who say you are a reckless man. You are smarter than all the civil servants in the court."

When Ji Bu saw Fusu laughing out loud, he couldn't help but smile too, revealing his white teeth.

"I heard that you have a younger brother named Ji Xin, who is very brave. You are very capable and can rule over an area for me. I cannot let you accompany me, so let your brother Ji Xin come to serve me."

If it were someone else, they would definitely be overjoyed at this time, but Ji Bu did not think it was a good thing.

Ji Bu paused for a long time.

"Your Majesty, why did you suddenly think of letting my brother Ji Xin serve you?"

"I have heard of your brother a long time ago, and I just promoted him on purpose."

Ji Bu looked down at the ice again. He thought for a while, then raised his head with a stubborn look in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, please withdraw your order."

Shao Ping was shocked again, his mouth opened wide and his eyes widened as he stared at Ji Bu.

"Why?"

"Your Majesty, just because you heard that my brother is brave, you want to summon him to serve Your Majesty. That's too casual of Your Majesty."

"Just because someone said something nice about my brother, you're promoting him."

"Then one day, if someone speaks ill of us brothers in front of His Majesty, His Majesty will definitely kill us both."

"If Your Majesty cannot judge right from wrong, we two brothers would not dare to serve Your Majesty even if we die."

"Your Majesty, please give me a clear warning."

Fusu sat in the chair and was silent for a long time.

"I have sent people to observe you two brothers for a long time. This is not a decision I made lightly. Moreover, you said that you decided to appoint or dismiss this person just because of a few words. This will show that the king is not able to judge right from wrong."

"Then how can I change the decision I made after considering and observing for a long time just because of a few words from you?"

Ji Bu thought about it for a long time and finally gave in.

"Your Majesty understands."
