Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

She was the one who got up early and went to court late, reviewing memorials, but most of the time, it was Lu Liluo who made the real decisions. Whenever she issued an important decree, the ministers who received it would always subconsciously ask:

"Your Majesty, may I ask if King Yi Zi Bing Jian is aware of this matter?"

It seemed that if Lu Liluo did not agree, the order could not be carried out.

This made Lu Lanzhi somewhat unhappy.

In fact, she also knew that although Lu Liluo did not like to attend court, whether it was her ability to sit on the throne today or the daily maintenance of the court, it was indeed thanks to Lu Liluo.

If it were the Lu Lanzhi of the past, she would naturally not care about these things.

She might have secretly been happy that she could be lazy and just sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor. But now she wasn't thinking that way anymore. It was human nature that was so strange—thoughts changed with the circumstances.

As the saying goes, the king's heart is hard to predict, and how can you allow others to sleep peacefully beside your bed?

All I can say is that the mentality of being an emperor is absolutely different from that of a princess.

Glancing at the petition for a title from the Duke of Jinyang's Mansion placed on the table next to her, Lu Lanzhi sighed and waved to the handsome man beside her.

The handsome man understood.

He immediately walked to the desk and asked for the memorial along with the writing material.

Lu Lanzhi picked up her pen and quickly wrote a few words on the table in front of her. A handsome man next to her took out the emperor's seal from his open lapel and kindly stamped it on her.

Lu Lanzhi waved her hand again, and the handsome man took the memorial away and placed it on top of a pile of memorials waiting to be issued.

As if she had done something great, Lu Lanzhi leaned back tiredly, and the handsome men immediately surrounded her, fanning her and pinching her hands.

Lu Lanzhi closed her eyes and thought.

As for how to deal with Lu Liluo, she couldn't think of any good ideas, nor did she have the courage. She knew how she became the emperor.

But if I do nothing, I feel very uncertain.

After thinking about it, her eyes fell on the handsome men twisting their bodies below, and her heart suddenly moved.

Suddenly she thought of Wei Shimu and the handsome men she had given to Lu Liluo. She had given them to them out of kindness and had no other ulterior motives.

So no one was contacted afterwards.

Now she had no idea how these people were faring in the palace. Perhaps, as their former master, she should find a way to show some concern?

And there is Wei Shimu.

Although he heard that he had a miserable life in this life, Lu Liluo did not show any affection towards him.

But with the memories of the previous life, no one knows better than Lu Lanzhi how much influence Wei Shimu has on Lu Liluo.

Even if she had his advice in this life, and due to various coincidences, Lu Liluo had no relationship with him anymore. But what if she sent Wei Shimu directly to Lu Liluo?

Seeing each other day in and day out, she didn't believe that Wei Shimu couldn't win Lu Liluo back. In this way, as long as Wei Shimu was loyal to her, she could indirectly control Lu Liluo.

Thinking of this, Lu Lanzhi was simply applauding her own intelligence and talent.

She's so damn smart.

So, who said she couldn't be emperor? She simply didn't have the chance in the past. In this life, even without Lu Liluo, she was destined to be emperor.

Otherwise why would she be reborn?

Since God gave her this opportunity, it meant that he favored her. Unfortunately, she was too insecure before and really thought that everything was due to Lu Liluo's help.

Lu Lanzhi shared this idea with Yao Cairen, now known as Xigong Taijun. Unexpectedly, she was strongly opposed by Xigong Taijun.

"My daughter, I do have the manpower to contact Prince Chen's Mansion, but I advise you not to act rashly."

"Don't you see what kind of life my father and I lived in the past, and what the situation is like in the court now?"

Xigong Taijun said earnestly:

"Now, at least we are all high and mighty, no one bullies us or messes with us. Even the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace treats me with respect and courtesy. As a person, you should be content."

"...As long as Lu Liluo doesn't rebel, she can do whatever she wants."

In other words, their strength is there. Even if they really rebel, what can they do? Since everyone is keeping to themselves, why should we start a fight first?

In his opinion, his daughter had become a little arrogant because she had too many good days after becoming emperor.

Lu Lanzhi disagreed.

"Father, you've lived your life too cautiously... You're always afraid of this and that, even if a leaf falls, it might hit your head."

"Ever since I was little, you've taught me this: be careful, don't get into trouble, and just live a peaceful and prosperous life... It's precisely because of this that the late emperor looked down on me and never trained me as his heir."

"Now that I am the ruler of the world, how can I be so afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind when doing such a small thing for my subjects... If that's the case, why should I be the emperor? I might as well give it to Prince Chen!"

When Xigong Taijun heard this, she was shocked. This kid is crazy!

Forget it, I'm just a wife. The child has made up her mind, and I can't persuade her with such words in the future - let her do whatever she wants.

But my daughter is right about one thing: people live their lives to the fullest.

However, if he had thought this way before, how could Lu Lanzhi, the unfavored eldest princess, grow up safely? Xigong Taijun was a little confused.

Or maybe it's just a matter of time.

Xigong Taiqunjun no longer tried to stop her, and Lu Lanzhi's plan was quickly put into action. Lu Liluo and Ha Shilang then discovered that many small flies had been sneaking into the newly built Prince Chen's Mansion.

At the beginning, Lu Liluo turned a blind eye.

On the hill behind the palace, there was a lot of newly cleared land, which was now Lu Chengfeng's territory. He was busy there all day either tinkering with new grain varieties or studying new fruits and vegetables.

Almost all of the newest and most novel supplies in the palace every season come from there.

As for the handsome men Lu Lanzhi had sent before, every one of them was placed by Tang Jiting on the mountain to help Lu Chengfeng cultivate the land. They were busy from morning till night, with enough meat and food to eat, and they knew nothing about the news in the mansion.

Even if those little flies bite there until they die, they won't be able to get a single piece of meat.

So, let them busy themselves for a while.

Lu Liluo now has other things to do. The first and most urgent thing is to thoroughly rectify the Dongchi court and discover and cultivate talents.

Many of the officials left behind by the previous empress were just sitting there doing nothing but taking up their posts.

In the past, it was the old Duke who made secret contacts, and it was not easy to make any moves. Now that Lu Liluo was the King of One Word, the future Dongchi Kingdom would also be his.

Even her baby's.

So naturally we have to re-examine it openly and honestly. Those who should be removed should be removed, those who should be executed should be executed, and those officials who should be promoted should be promoted.
