Go back in time, a few days ago.
Dajin.
Jin Emperor Fan Li was kidnapped, and the news spread to Wuxing City.
After hearing the news, the patriarchs of the five major families hurried to Jincheng Palace and expressed their willingness to contribute.
The Lu family in Zhuo County, the patriarch Lu Zhi, has a fifth-level cultivation in the Hedao Realm.
Zhang Xutuo, the patriarch of the Zhang family in Nanyang, has a fourth-level cultivation in the Hedao realm.
The Dou clan of Fufeng, the clan leader Dou Wangsun, has a third-level cultivation level in the Hedao realm.
The Yin clan of Nanyang, the patriarch Yin Junling, has a third-level cultivation in the Hedao realm.
The head of the Shanggu Kou clan, Kou Ziyi, is a third-level cultivator in the Hedao realm.
Lu Zhi and other five people hurried to Jincheng, only to see that everything in the city was in order and everyone was doing their job.
Prime Minister Wang Ban has an overview of state affairs, and is assisted by Da Sinong Huang Longshi.
Taiwei Hu Zongxian took over 50,000 wolf soldiers and was cleaning up military discipline and retraining outside the city.
As for the Imperial Hospital, the Overwatch Council, etc., they each have their own affairs.
"absurd!"
Lu Zhi was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.
"The emperor was taken prisoner, the shame of his subjects!"
"The ministers in the court are indifferent and their temperament is so cold. Where is the loyalty and filial piety?"
"Is it possible that the Jin Dynasty has just established its country and will the situation of the Han Dynasty without a king and father and the chaos of the court be repeated again?!"
Lu Zhi had witnessed with his own eyes the whole process of the funeral of Zuo of the Han Dynasty, and couldn't help but feel sad.
The other four clan leaders, Zhang, Yin, Dou, and Kou, were busy trying to comfort themselves.
There was a slight conflict among the five clans when naming the new city, but Lu Zhi's personal prestige was extremely high, and the other four clan leaders always regarded themselves as juniors in front of him.
"Enter the palace!"
"I... I want to meet with the Queen and ask her to listen behind the curtain and take charge of the overall situation!"
Lu Zhi suddenly had an idea.
Zhang Xutuo heard the words and advised: "Lu Shangshu, although you are popular in the country, we have only submitted to the Jin Dynasty for a short time, and we have no official positions in the court. We respectfully invite the queen to listen to the government behind the curtain. It is our initiative. I’m afraid it’s inappropriate?”
"Yes, yes." The other three clan leaders also echoed.
After all, they feel that they are newcomers, unfamiliar with the place, and it is difficult for them to take charge of major national affairs.
"Nothing wrong!"
Lu Zhi, an old master, still has a hot temper.
He looked at the orderliness everywhere in Jincheng, but his mood became more and more irritable.
"We uphold justice. We only serve to uphold justice and upright ministers. We are not like Dong Zhuo. We have a clear conscience. The sky, the earth, the sun and the moon are all witnesses!"
"Everyone who shares the same mind, please follow me into the palace!"
"Others who don't follow the Way, please do it yourself!"
Lao Shangshu's generous and righteous words immediately infected the four patriarchs.
Especially when I think of Dong Zhuo's chaos in government, I feel even more responsible.
"I would like to go with Lu Shangshu!"
"I'm going too!"
"Of course we're going together!"
The five clan leaders looked at each other. The previous frictions and conflicts between the families suddenly disappeared, and they felt like they had the same goals!
"Okay!" Lu Zhi said excitedly, "I'm not alone in my path!"
The five people rushed to the palace, even mentally prepared to be surrounded by the guards.
However, no.
There were only a few eunuchs and maids in charge of sweeping at the main entrance of the palace. Seeing that the five people were dressed in extraordinary clothes, they all stepped aside obediently and did not stop them.
Lu Zhi and others were confused, but they continued to rush towards the tallest palace in the palace.
Finally, a young eunuch came out of the hall holding a fly whisk, as if he had come specially to greet the five people.
"Five family heads, please proceed slowly inside the palace."
Lu Zhi originally thought that the other party was going to block the road and was about to take action.
Hearing that they were only asked to drive slowly, they unconsciously slowed down.
Lu Zhi frowned and asked, "Who are you? Why do you know my identity?"
When he first arrived in Jincheng, he was recognized by a small eunuch. He couldn't help but feel strange.
"Slave Internal Supervisor Qin Shun,
Following the Queen's order, we welcome the five heads of the family. Qin Shun replied.
The five people were suddenly surprised and confused.
"How did the Queen know that we were coming?" Dou Wangsun asked.
"Inside Jincheng, there is a monitoring array arranged by the Queen. The Queen knew about it as soon as the five families stepped into the city." Qin Shun replied with a smile.
"The empress is an array master?!" Kou Ziyi said in shock.
"Yes." Qin Shun remained neither humble nor overbearing, and patiently explained: "The Queen Empress arranged various defense and surveillance formations for Jincheng due to the needs of her cultivation. The Empress also said that in the future, she would personally arrange every city in the Jin Dynasty. Formation, protect the safety of the people."
"Your Majesty cares about the people and is very kind!" Lu Zhi said with a look of relief on his face.
Yin Junling thought of something, pointed to the palace behind Qin Shun and asked, "Could it be that the Queen is in the Golden Palace?"
They originally thought that the queen should stay deep in the harem and had to wait for someone to invite her out.
Qin Shun nodded: "Yes, your Majesty is not in the palace recently, and the Queen is temporarily reviewing the memorial for your Majesty."
When the five clan leaders heard this, they all had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
They also wanted to ask the queen to listen to politics behind the curtain, but in the end it was just a formality.
In the opinion of the five people, state affairs still need to be left to the ministers.
In fact, deep down in their hearts, they simply do not believe that women are capable of handling government affairs.
Lu Zhi frowned and said, "That's ridiculous! When I entered the city, I clearly saw all the ministers busy with their own affairs. How can the Queen, a female minister, take care of state affairs alone?"
Qin Shun's face darkened when he heard this, and he said in a serious tone: "Chief Lu's words are inappropriate and disrespectful of the courtesy of a minister!"
"Ah?" Lu Zhi was stunned and hurriedly saluted in the direction of Jinluan Palace. "I made a mistake, I apologize."
Seeing Lu Zhi complete the etiquette, Qin Shun's face looked better.
The five families were secretly surprised that this little eunuch was so relaxed and relaxed at such a young age, he was quite extraordinary, and he would also be a figure in the future!
"Xiao Shunzi, let them in."
Sudden!
A female voice came from the Jinluan Palace.
The female voice is gentle and quiet, yet calm and generous.
Lu Zhi nodded secretly upon hearing this, knowing in his heart that this must be the Queen. She indeed had extraordinary bearing and elegant manners.
"The Queen has decreed that the five families are invited to enter the Jinluan Palace." Qin Shun turned sideways and made an invitation gesture, and then led the way.
Lu Zhi and others were doubtful and entered the hall respectfully.
As soon as they raised their eyes, everyone saw a woman in phoenix costume standing sideways beside the imperial throne beside the royal throne, holding a memorial in her hand and reading it carefully.
"good!"
"The Dragon Throne is the throne of the Emperor, even if no one can cross it and offend."
"The Queen is so sensible, it is a blessing for the man!"
Lu Zhi is old and adheres to the etiquette system the most.
If Lu Fubao was sitting on the throne reviewing memorials, Lu Zhi would feel disgusted no matter how hard she worked.
But he is still worried. Lu Fubao is a female after all. Does she have the ability to be good at government affairs?
However, Lu Zhi saw that Lu Fubao looked calm and calm, and even had a smile on his lips.
She dipped her pen in cinnabar and wrote a line of small words on the memorial.
Lu Zhi had profound attainments in Confucianism, and his writing skills were unfathomable.
Just by looking at the movements of Lu Fubao's pen, one could immediately guess what she was doing.
"The first priority in governing a country is to ensure peace of the people."
"Those who bring peace to the people focus on agriculture and promote commerce."
"Have enough food and clothing, be rich with money and silk, then tax and corvee..."
Lu Zhi was surprised and pleasantly surprised.
The knowledge of a female streamer is not inferior to that of a well-educated Confucian?
He suddenly remembered that this queen's surname was Lu!
Just when they were surprised, they saw Queen Lu Fubao slowly putting down the memorial in her hand and looking at them with a smile.
