My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

The world has long known that Qin's technology had reached its peak and was ahead of its time.

These technological inventions of Qin II have had a significant impact on people's livelihood time and time again.

The people at that time all believed that even if humans could go to space in the future, it would no longer be just a fantasy.

With the firm support of Qin II, the State of Qin went further and further on the road to becoming a technological power and climbed higher and higher mountains.

The emergence of Nufang directly caused the entire Qin Empire to boil.

This is a factory that recruits female workers and pays them very well, giving women another possibility in life besides taking care of their husbands and children.

Qin II was very friendly to women. In addition, he was famous among women for his handsome and noble appearance in front of outsiders. These two complemented each other and made Qin II the object of admiration and love by women in every household.

In life, men often hold economic power in the family. The male head of the household makes the decisions, while the female head of the household has a veto.

The opening of the Women's Workshop by Qin II was a groundbreaking event that brought good news to millions of women.

The status of women in the family cannot be underestimated. Qin II won the hearts of women, and thus won the hearts of thousands of families.

Men are the most vulnerable and cannot stand pillow talk. Women are the ones who blow pillow talk.

The fact that Lu Zhi was highly valued also made countless women feel proud, because the appearance of Lu Zhi meant that someone was there to make decisions for the millions of rural women in the world and seek benefits for them.

In fact, the value of maintaining class mobility is not just to give everyone the opportunity to be in power, but to ensure that those in power include people from all walks of life and all fields of society to the greatest extent possible.

Because only in this way will someone speak for the society and class that belongs to him.

The problem caused by class stratification is not only that the lower-class people can no longer stand up to fight for their lives, but also that no one is standing up to protect their interests.

Because those who speak for the common people, for the groups, and for members of the field are either eliminated or commit suicide, or are assimilated, or their channels are blocked and they can never stand in the leadership.

The world is a place where the strong prey on the weak...

The strong rule over the weak, and those with good fortunes rule over those with bad fortunes.

The significance of ensuring class mobility is to make life better for people at the bottom. Because as long as the world gives kind-hearted people a stage to perform, the policies they make out of a little kindness and compassion for their own kind can benefit tens of millions of people at the bottom, thus unleashing tremendous energy.

But it's a pity...

A country has its ups and downs as it has its destiny.

Sometimes, class channels are opened up, and sometimes, class channels are solidified and nailed down.

A woman like Lu Zhi, who came from the countryside, was able to break away from her identity as the emperor's wife, participate in the governance of the country, and display the power and wisdom of women to the people of the world.

This is not only inspiring to women, but more importantly, Lu Zhi came from the countryside and she knew what millions of women like herself needed most.

She knew what women went through during the war and what kind of horrible nightmares they were experiencing.

Lu Zhi - Madam Lu, became famous throughout the country after she took charge of the women's quarters.

Everyone in the world knows that there was a Madam Lu in Xianyang City. She was upright and incorruptible, able to treat everyone equally and to make those who had connections with her obey her.

Everyone was praising Mrs. Lu.

Now, let's count carefully, who are the famous people in the world since the beginning of the Qin II era? They include the Meng brothers, the elites among the aristocracy, the new leader of the Mohist school, and people from the countryside like Xiao He, Chen Ping (Black and Red are also Red), and Zhang Cang.

Now there is also Lu Zhi.

During the reign of Qin II, the fame of these people itself symbolized the beginning of a prosperous era.

Only when the ruling class includes a wide variety of people, from all fields and all grassroots, can it ensure that decisions benefit the vast majority of people as much as possible.

In everyone's eyes, Lu Zhi's fame is simply incredible.

In some places, the people were really simple and honest, and the people were very sensible and civilized. They admired Lü Zhi very much, so they raised money to ask someone to write a memorial to praise her and sent it to the palace.

This greatly encouraged Lu Zhi, who had always been subjected to verbal attacks from the eunuchs and female relatives in the palace.

When Lu Zhi received the memorial, she was very happy.

To be honest, this result is more inspiring than the care and encouragement given to her by Qin II.

Holding the memorial, Lu Zhi was so happy that she couldn't sleep for several days.

She wanted to do more, do more for her fellow human beings.

Lu Zhi worked even harder for this, and she was more careful with the money in the palace treasury. She was also very considerate to the humble maids in the palace, and tried her best to let them do less meaningless work.

Among the female officials who were in charge of the palace in the past, none was like Lu Zhi.

It was also a job for the palace maids to sweep the palace steps.

The previous managers were very strict. They did not allow even a single fallen leaf to appear in the palace. The palace maids had to come out to sweep the fallen leaves before daybreak and they could only do so until dark.

Is this kind of work really meaningful?
In fact, no, it’s just that the manager wants to highlight her status through such means, cover up her inner hypocrisy, and find a sense of existence for herself by hurting others.

Lu Zhi no longer simply gave money to each palace maid as she had done in the past. Instead, she streamlined their work content and removed those tedious, harsh and unnecessary tasks.

The palace maids began to feel like human beings.

Suddenly, the people in the palace began to change their attitude again.

Everyone began to praise Lu Zhi, saying that she was beautiful and kind-hearted.

Most of the ladies and beauties in the palace were jealous of this and felt greatly hurt.

Xiong Rou, in particular, didn't understand how she, a noble woman, the emperor's cousin, and the late empress dowager's niece, could have ended up like this.

In the harem, Yu Yue has always had to rely on her beauty to survive, and she has taken the blame for Xiong Rou many times.

Seeing that Xiong Rou was so jealous and resentful of Lu Zhi, Yu Yue thought this might be a good opportunity to teach Xiong Rou a lesson.

Who made Xiong Rou always so arrogant?

So Yuyue said to Xiong Rou in private, "Lü Zhi is just a country girl, of humble origin and plain appearance. Madam is not only beautiful, of noble origin, but also very capable."

"It is reasonable for His Majesty the Emperor to give the opportunity to manage the women's workshop to Madam Xiong."

"I heard from someone that if this person has the opportunity to go out and do something, he can actually make a contribution to His Majesty the Emperor."

"Madam Lu has done things for His Majesty many times and has accumulated more merits. I'm afraid her status will be higher than Madam Xiong in the future."

In Xiong Rou's mind, her status was second only to the current queen. Of course, Xiong Rou knew nothing about the evaluation of the queen and even the ladies in the palace. In the minds of the servants and maids in the palace, Xiong Rou's status had long been ranked behind Lu Zhi.

Unfortunately, Xiong Rou thinks highly of herself and wants to play the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. She wants to be a woman like Lady Li and stir up trouble in the government.

Yu Yue's words naturally made Xiong Rou feel unhappy.

Xiong Rou, relying on her powerful background and noble birth, has always looked down upon others. Even her own cousin is shown little respect for her.

That's what relatives are like, there is an unbreakable blood relationship.

It would be fine if their relationship was not good, but Xiong Rou and Fusu had a very special relationship. There were too many grievances and entanglements between their parents' generation.

Xiong Rou, who had always been very aggressive, had never been punished, which made her even more unscrupulous, and she always thought that she could get through all the difficulties and hardships with her wisdom. This time, she ran to Zhangtai to find the emperor in anger.

"Your Majesty would rather trust that Lu Zhi than give me a chance to manage the women's quarters."

"I don't understand what Lu Zhi is capable of. With her way of governing, it won't be long before everyone in the palace doesn't take us ladies seriously."

"These people at the bottom of society are born lowly. If you treat them too well, they won't be grateful, but will just think that this is what they deserve."

"What Lu Zhi did will only make things difficult for people like us."

"She just wants to appear to be the kindest, and compared to her, don't we look like bullies?"

Xiong Rou's cheeks were always as pink as peach petals. Over the past seven or eight years, she had become even more charming.

But deep down in her heart, Qin II felt she was hopeless.

"Then why don't I leave it to you?"

"That's what I was thinking. I'm getting bored in this palace anyway. I want to go out and do some work. Your Majesty, why don't you let me manage the women's quarters?"

Xiong Rou was still so arrogant, as if her words were an imperial decree that would take effect immediately once she spoke them out.

But this angered Qin II.

After all, he is the emperor, supreme, unique, and the emperor is supreme.

But Xiong Rou's attitude seemed to be as if he was treating himself as his stupid brother.

"Leave it to you. Within three to five days, all the princes and ministers will be under your command. Then, what will you do next to kill me?"

Xiong Rou spoke frankly, so the emperor naturally did not hide anything.

Fusu suddenly asked such a question. Xiong Rou took two steps back in fear, and her long skirt almost tripped her.

"Your Majesty, I was just saying that. Why are you so angry?" Xiong Rou asked in a low voice.

"I don't know who Lu Zhi is, and who you are. I have been watching and enduring all these years. But you are getting worse and worse, and you are not taking me seriously anymore."

"Do you think my Zhangtai Palace is your garden? You can come in and go out as you like."

"You actually said something like this in Zhangtai Palace. When did being considerate of the common people become something wrong? If you think like this, does that mean the common people deserve to suffer for their whole lives?"

"Aren't you afraid that these words will get out of the palace and be laughed at?"

"How dare you, the wife of a country and my consort, say such things? How disgraceful!"

Xiong Rou's face turned pale, and she felt a chill under her feet, as if she was standing on ice chips and icicles. She couldn't stand in this hall at all.

"Your Majesty, that is not what I meant."

"Then what do you mean?"

As the saying goes, justice is in the heart of the people. Xiong Rou also knew clearly that one cannot choose one's birth, and nobility and inferiority are only determined by people.

The truth is clear in our hearts, but when something happens, human nature will play tricks on us and we will bring out things that are not acceptable.

Xiong Rou was stunned by the scolding and didn't know where to put her feet.

Xiong Rou thought that she had completely lost to Lu Zhi this time, but who would have thought that the emperor would protect Lu Zhi so much.

But Xiong Rou is Xiong Qi's daughter. She is not a delicate girl and has her own ways.

Xiong Rou immediately felt aggrieved and stood on the ground crying.

You know what, when a crocodile sheds tears, it can make people's soul tremble.

It will give people the illusion that even the worst person in the world has a heart.

It’s just that the emperor and Xiong Rou have been together for too long.

Xiong Rou is not born bad, she is just born arrogant and domineering. Whenever she encounters danger, she can use her cleverness to escape danger.

After a long time, there is nothing to fear.

Fusu knew Xiong Rou too well.

The emperor had a terrible headache and stroked his head.

He really wanted to do something for his cousin, but due to his status, he had to endure it.

"Your Majesty, have you been deceived by Lu Zhi?" Xiong Rou tore her hands guiltily, "Lu Zhi is not who your Majesty thinks she is."

"What does she look like?" Qin II had a headache.

You see, no matter who it is, as long as there are more than three wives and four concubines in the family, there will always be this kind of problem. One speaks ill of the other...

Although Qin II was fed up with it, he was fundamentally unable to change certain realities. He could only listen to Xiong Rou reluctantly and see what she was going to say next.

"On the surface, Lü Zhi appears to be gentle and well-behaved, and she seems to be obedient and has no ulterior motives."

"But she likes to use provocative tactics to put Your Majesty in danger again and again."

"Don't you know, Your Majesty, that you have already committed a mistake that has been criticized by your ministers because of Lu Zhi?"

"Fault?" Fusu knew that his ministers scolded him behind his back every day. But when he heard this, the emperor still felt a little concerned.

People are very strange.

To be honest, Fusu was not as calm after he ascended the throne as he was before he ascended the throne.

Fusu himself clearly felt it.

Since Qin Shi Huang was removed from the throne, he has changed a lot.

I am no longer as tolerant as before.

After Qin II held the cup of poison, although he became more powerful, it is undeniable that this cup of poison was slowly corroding our Qin II. It was gradually attacking the fortress of faith deep in Qin II's heart.

"What rumor?"

Lu Zhi rolled her eyes and said seriously, "Now, everyone says that Lu Zhi is using tricks to seduce Your Majesty."

The emperor listened and smiled.

Is Lu Zhi charming? She is the least romantic person.

Xiong Rou held the emperor's hand and said, "Your Majesty, now everyone is saying that the Lu brothers have made no contributions, but one of them is the prefect of Xianyang and the other is the imperial guard."

"These are all important positions in the palace. Your Majesty is so kind to the Lu family."

"My ministers have already been discussing this." (End of this chapter)
