My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 877 Gaining Tens of Millions of Fans
Lu Zhi's remarks surprised her brother.

Because he felt that his sister was no longer the simple, cute, weak and helpless little girl she used to be.

He is like an ambitious official who only cares about his own power.

Lu Ze was shocked and stunned.

To be honest, my sister no longer looks like a woman at this moment, but a cold-blooded and heartless man monster.

Women are the weakest, but weakness itself is the most powerful weapon. If women do not know how to be themselves, do not know how to position themselves, and blindly want to become as strong as men, that is transgender growth.

The result will be like Lu Zhi.

Has she become stronger? It seems that she has become stronger.

Is she still a woman? She doesn't look like one.

At this time, Lü Zhi was just like the Han queen mother who lost her husband and son. Faced with the male officials who were like tigers and wolves surrounding her, Lü Zhi openly pulled Chen Ping and said to him, "Don't pay attention to women like my sister."

Perhaps in Lu Zhi's mind, he had already been a man.

But this is not a good thing.

According to historical records, Chen Ping was hated by Empress Lü because he once suggested to Liu Bang that he kill Fan Kuai.

Even after Fan Kuai came back alive, Lü Shi still held on to Chen Ping. One day, she angrily said to Empress Lü: "Chen Ping is the prime minister, but he doesn't care about government affairs. He spends his days drinking and partying. He also disrespects his elders and hangs out with women."

When Chen Ping heard about it, he just indulged himself even more. He no longer cared about his image, and he embraced his beautiful wife and concubines, drinking and having fun more and more.

When Empress Lü found out, she was very happy. She even said to Chen Ping in front of Lü Shi: "As the saying goes, 'The words of children and women cannot be trusted.' It all depends on whether you treat me well. Don't be afraid of Lü Shi saying bad things about you."

Only then did Chen Ping calm down.

There are three people in the play. Lü Zhi needs to use Chen Ping, and Chen Ping needs to use Lü Zhi. Only Lü Xiang, a political rookie, is there crying and yelling for her husband, looking unworthy.

The tragedy of a person's life often begins with self-imbalance.

A woman compares herself to a man and desires to be independent and strong. Is this progress or regression?
Perhaps Lu Zhi's tragedy was doomed from the moment she became unbalanced in her pursuit of life.

A wise woman uses men to achieve her goals and then retires when she is successful; while a foolish woman tries to become a man and compete with men to see who is better.

When Lu Ze saw his sister become like this, he just said, "She is hopeless."

"Have you forgotten your original identity?"

When Lü Zhi heard this, she was shocked at first, and then asked, "So what if I was born in the countryside, and so what if I am a woman. Can't I govern the country?"

Lu Ze felt that his sister might have some serious illness.

"Sister, I want to remind you that your most important identity now is that you are the wife of His Majesty, not a powerful official. As His Majesty's wife, the most important thing for you is to take care of His Majesty and raise his children, rather than showing up in public and doing things that men do."

Lu Zhi shook her head, "But your majesty said that times have changed."

"How could the times have changed? It's just that the situation has changed. Your Majesty is in power now. Alas, I can't explain it to you clearly."

"If you can't explain it clearly, then don't say it. Since you are here, why not hold a celebration banquet with me. I have been ordered to help His Majesty manage the harem, and now I have to manage the women's quarters. There are too many things to do." Lu Zhi said, and when she saw her brother's face change, she changed her words and said, "I usually neglected my father and you brothers. Since you are all here today, why don't we get together?"

Lu Ze was very angry. "Women are women. This is a reality that cannot be changed by anyone."

"I'm not afraid of you being favored, in power, or in the limelight. I'm afraid that you'll forget who you are because of being favored. I'm afraid that after you gain power, you'll forget where the power came from. I'm afraid that you'll be in the limelight without knowing that your brilliance overshadows others, and that you'll offend people without even realizing it."

Lu Zhi's face turned red.

Lu Shizhi sat aside, listening to Lu Ze's scolding word by word, and felt a chill all over his body.

"Brother, why don't you just stop talking."

"Shut up. Every time I want to speak, you tell me to stop. You have a bad mouth." Lu Ze turned the tables and made Lu Zhi, Lu Shizhi and Lu Shang all tremble with fear.

Even the young master sensed something was wrong and didn't dare to speak.

"As a person, you should be honest and down-to-earth. Don't take advantage of others' power. Who will take care of you after I die? You are all grown up and have become parents, yet you are still making trouble."

"This is Xianyang Palace, not Shanfu County. When will you realize your environment and yourself? Why are you so happy here all day long?"

"Do you know that fortune lies in the shadow of misfortune, and misfortune lies in the shadow of fortune?"

"If you live in ease and comfort for too long, you will lose your guard."

"And vigilance is something you must never lose while living in this world..."

Lu Ze was talking seriously, and Lu Xiang was already a little tired. She yawned and looked at Lu Zhi out of habit.

Lu Zhi twitched her lips and thought to herself, if you weren't my brother, I would have driven you away long ago.

Lu Shizhi looked at Lu Zhi and asked in a low voice, "Sister, you just came back. Have you seen His Majesty?"

Lu Zhi shook her head. "Your Majesty is busy. I will go to see you later."

Lu Ze said loudly, "It is said that there are disasters in the world, but as long as we are vigilant, all disasters can be eliminated. This is the truth."

Lu Ze kept talking...

The three of them had lost interest in listening any longer.

This is probably the meaning of a true family’s existence.

As long as you have such a family member, you will never have to worry about accidentally doing something wrong and offending him.

This is what is called a spiritual harbor.

Lu Ze turned around and saw the three people still laughing.

"What are you doing? Do you think politics is fun?"

Lü Zhi smiled and said, "Of course."

Lu Shizhi pulled the corner of Lu Zhi's clothes.

When Lu Ze heard this, he immediately became furious and his eyebrows raised.

He moved his lips, clenched his fists, then held the sword and ran away quickly.

“It’s like talking to a cow.”

Lu Ze walked away quickly.

The three of them were left laughing.

"Brother has always been like this and has never changed." Lu Zhao smiled.

Lu Zhi didn't say anything. She looked at her brother's back as he quickly walked away in the corridor, with a hint of loneliness in her eyes.

After all, it was his brother's words that hurt him.

She knew very well that the emperor was using her as a knife.

If it is true love, why would you bear to let her show up in public?

Lu Zhi sat at the table and thought quietly.

The breeze blew her hair, and her bright eyes became sharper under the nourishment of power. The life of fine clothes and delicious food, coupled with the finest rouge and powder, had already made Lu Zhi elegant and extraordinary, and even more charming.

Lu Zhi was a little girl from the countryside. She grew up in the fields and had a lively and natural aura.

This moving aura will give her a sense of mystery.

Different from the beautiful girls among officials, Lu Zhi has too many special characteristics. If you study her carefully, you will find that there are many admirable qualities about her.

She is very tenacious. She is like a wild flower pinned under a big rock. She pushes the rock away and then blooms.

There is always a vigorous vitality in him.

Her brother was so angry that he left. Lu Zhi couldn't laugh and Lu Ze didn't dare to speak.

Lu Zhao couldn't help asking, "Will His Majesty come over tonight?" Lu Zhi frowned, "Who knows? Maybe it doesn't matter anymore."

After a long time together, Lü Zhi had lost her awe of Qin II. Her fantasy of love with Qin II had been completely shattered, or rather, Qin II taught her to shatter those false fantasies and understand what life is and what she really wants.

Unknowingly, Fusu and Lu Zhi had reached a stable cooperative relationship and became strategic alliance partners.

As time went by, Lu Zhi gradually felt that her relationship with Qin II was quite good.

Very stable.

Moreover, Lu Zhi saw many opportunities in this. As long as she could continue to gain more power in this way, her son might be able to benefit from it.

"It doesn't matter anymore."

Lu Zhi said lightly.

When a person has great power, he will feel that love is not important, because what love can give him is not as good as what power can give him.

By the evening, Fusu had finished everything.

Lu Zhi was still summoned.

"I heard from people that you have managed the women's quarters in an orderly manner. The wives of officials and their messy relatives are all well-behaved by you."

Lü Zhi smiled, "I am just following orders. Besides, these women are ostracizing each other because they lack leadership."

"Once someone comes out to keep order, they become fearful."

"I am just telling them through my actions that everything has a price."

Fusu naturally laughed after hearing this.

"Good. Well said."

“Everything has a price.”

"You did the right thing. I have decided to give you Lanlin Palace so that you can live alone. It will be very convenient for you to manage the palace or go out of the palace to do business in the future." Qin II praised Lu Zhi's behavior. "If you were a man, I would definitely make you a doctor."

When Lu Zhi listened, she was very happy at first, but then she was stunned.

She put the cup down.

It was a great honor for the emperor to summon her as a wife to Zhangtai Palace.

After gaining power, Lu Zhi was too lazy to have any romantic relationship with Qin II, a man who was only focused on his career.

But Lu Zhi still felt worried sometimes.

Because in this era, she was the only woman who did this. As a woman, she did things that men did.

The second emperor of Qin had an ambiguous attitude and did not support women in power, but he used her to do things. This made Lu Zhi not only lack a strong backing, but also lacked a suitable identity and background to support her administration.

Lu Zhi couldn't help but feel some resistance towards Qin II.

If the emperor is only using me temporarily, what will happen to me and my son in the future?

The emperor had so many women, and she was not stunningly beautiful. Of course, those stunningly beautiful women were never the most favored, but it was those with good brains who lived better and longer.

Lu Zhi suddenly stopped talking.

From being dependent on him and reluctant to leave him, to now having no feelings towards him, Fusu couldn't help but wonder if he had given Lu Zhi too much.

It actually made her feel that she could live well without him.

For the vast majority of people, Confucius' famous sayings can be verified in reality.

If you are far away, you will be resentful; if you are close, you will be disrespectful.

Some people, once you let them get close to them, they will act arrogant and unruly; once you stay away from them, they will resent you and forget everything about the past and their lives.

"Do you have anything to say?"

"Your Majesty, I am a woman, and your Majesty's wife. How could I be so worthy of your Majesty's trust and respect, and have been able to do great things so many times?"

In fact, from the first time Lu Zhi wanted to give up power, she was already influenced by rumors.

This was the second time she wanted to retreat.

Because reason told Lu Zhi that it would be of no benefit for her to continue to be a knife for Qin II.

The Lu family is just the bottom of society, while the Feng family has outstanding military achievements and glory. If she, Lu Zhi, competes with the Queen for power and becomes a thorn in everyone's side, wouldn't this implicate her brothers and sisters?
If my mother were still alive, she would also advise me to get rid of it as soon as possible.

The wisdom of Lu Zhi lies in the fact that she is not stupid.

Qin II could sense that Lu Zhi was in some danger outside.

Anyone who works for the emperor is in danger.

In order to take some food from the tiger's mouth and distribute it to the common people, they basically offended the powerful.

In addition, Lu Zhi's personality was that as a woman, she was prone to being stubborn.

Fusu didn't dare to imagine what would happen next.

The emperor can tolerate being unable to protect his brothers, but he absolutely cannot tolerate being unable to protect his woman.

"The moss flowers are as small as rice grains, but they try to bloom like peonies."

When Lu Zhi heard this, her heart suddenly started pounding.

"Isn't the purpose of my ruling the country to give the weak a chance to breathe and to give the talented people a place to show themselves?"

"If you encounter any problems next time, tell me directly."

"I can't bear to see you being wronged."

As the emperor spoke, Lu Zhi couldn't help but burst into tears.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, Lu Zhi was very majestic.

But in fact, she was often verbally attacked and all kinds of rumors were spread about her. This time when she was managing the women's workshop, many of the ladies verbally offended her, which made her very unhappy.

Although Lu Zhi was fragile and sensitive, she was much stronger than ordinary women.

She burst into tears and her tears kept flowing.

Fusu was a kind-hearted person after all, so he naturally picked up the wronged Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi cried for a long time.

Finally, she threw herself into the arms of Qin II with tears in her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I have no background, so I really dare not serve you."

"It wouldn't matter if I died. I'm just afraid that it would implicate my two brothers, my sister and my brother-in-law."

The emperor naturally couldn't bear to see Lu Zhi crying like this.

Qin II patted Lu Zhi on the back and said, "Don't be afraid."

"It's all little things."

"I will appoint your brother as a captain tomorrow."

Lü Zhi lowered her brows and asked, "Brother, you are receiving rewards without any merit. I am afraid that people will criticize you."

Fusu did care about this matter very much. He was often impeached by Zhang Cang, saying that he always brought some strange people into the court to serve as officials, without caring at all whether the other party had made any contributions.

"If he hasn't done anything meritorious, then let him do it."

It just so happened that Fusu needed to build more machines and factories.

The Qin Empire is about to start rectifying its economy.
