Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

Forget it, if it weren’t for Lu Liluo’s trick, I might not even be able to survive that day, and how could I have such a long and comfortable life as emperor.

After all, it was Lu Liluo that his father and he owed her.

And most importantly, no matter from which point of view, she really can't beat him.

After figuring this out, Lu Lanzhi swallowed the wine stuck in her throat with difficulty, cleared her throat and said:

"Ahem, ahem, alright, I've approved this!"

Lu Lanzhi held on to her last bit of imperial dignity and then put on a smiling face again:

"But you have to keep my life. After all, I never harmed you during my time as emperor, right?"

This is true.

Lu Liluo nodded. She didn't want Lu Lanzhi's life in the first place, as long as she didn't seek death herself.

"Also, you can't touch the handsome men in my harem. I...I, I want to take them all away!"

"As you wish~"

Didn't she want it to be good?

"And... my father..." Lu Lanzhi seemed to have returned to her original dandy behavior in an instant, started to act like a rogue, and kept making all kinds of fancy requests.

Including the set of cups in front of her, they will all belong to her after they are washed.

As long as it wasn't excessive, Lu Liluo agreed to everything - after all, the person he was giving up was the throne.

Although Lu Lanzhi seemed to agree easily, many people who have truly reached the top and enjoyed the wonderful taste of power would rather die than give up.

This is something that everyone in the world is trying to break their heads over.

The reason for this "cup of wine for imperial power" was not to say that Lu Liluo couldn't get the throne by force. The main reason was that she was just a tasker.

Although she was born in the end times, she still respects life.

It can be said that after traveling through so many small worlds, Lu Liluo has never really regarded human life as worthless grass that can be taken away at will.

Being an emperor was only for the sake of her mission, so she didn't want to cause too much disturbance in the small world. Therefore, she tried not to start a war if she could, and she tried not to establish her throne on the basis of bloodshed, and she tried her best to avoid causing any loss of life.

So in the end, Lu Lanzhi became more and more demanding and forced Lu Liluo to agree to give her ten more jars of this fine wine on the table.

All have to be exactly the same.

Lu Liluo gritted his teeth and agreed. Zhong Wuyan would have to work hard in the coming time. This was Zhong Wuyan's latest wine, and he should have known better than to show it off.

She herself didn't save much.

Just like that, a month later, at the morning court session, Lu Lanzhi publicly read out the abdication edict:

"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor declares: I voluntarily abdicate the throne to Prince Chen, Lu Liluo. The abdication ceremony will be held in three days... From now on, I will be known as Prince Idle, reside in a separate courtyard, and cease court duties. The two Empress Dowagers will accompany me and serve me personally... This is my decree!"

As soon as the edict was issued, the whole court was in an uproar.

Lu Lanzhi has only been emperor for a few days, and I haven't heard of any major mistakes. Why do they want to change the emperor again?

However, after everyone looked around, they found that several core ministers remained calm and looked like they knew what was going on. They had already made up their minds and quickly accepted it.

Anyway, everyone has witnessed the talent and courage, means and strength displayed by King Chen during this period - he is completely different from the playboy in the legends.

Under Lu Liluo's policies, the entire Dongchi Kingdom was gradually getting better and better, and even the population had recently increased. If Lu Liluo became emperor, they were confident that Dongchi Kingdom would become even more powerful.

Besides, Lu Liluo himself has royal blood, and the current emperor voluntarily abdicated. It is just a matter of his family changing seats. What is there for them to object to?

Ordinary people were even more indifferent to this. They just kept their heads down and lived their lives. What did it matter to them that the throne had changed twice in a short period of time?

Will it delay them from eating rice tomorrow morning?

Of course, if we have to say that some people are more affected than others, there are definitely quite a few.

For example, Lord Wei, the Supreme Court Justice, Wei Shimu, and the Jian Junwang family... Of course, there were also people who were extremely happy, such as the old Duke, Lord Tang, and Jiang Xinyue...

Three days later, the abdication ceremony was officially held at the observatory in the imperial palace.

Tang Jiting never dreamed that he would one day become the husband of an emperor and the father of a nation. At this moment, he was standing on the viewing platform with five other concubines, heavily pregnant.

Looking at the heroic and imposing face of his wife standing at the highest point, and looking at the civil and military officials in the audience bowing and shouting "Long live the emperor", he couldn't help but feel excited and tears filled his eyes.

I always feel that at this moment, the happiness is like a dream - perhaps this kind of life is what he deserves.

The other five concubines felt similarly to Tang Jiting.

They were all people who were about to fall into the mire, and their wives were just a piece of driftwood they grabbed in desperation. Who would have thought that what they grabbed was not straw or driftwood, but a solid rock, a ladder that would lead them straight to the sky?

Of course, what makes them feel happiest and most secure is not the status and wealth that their wives bring them, but the daily consideration and respect they receive. The sense of security that comes from a promise worth a thousand gold...

At this moment, Lu Liluo, who was standing on the platform, had no such complicated thoughts. She simply felt that the crown was too heavy and weighed down her neck. It was not as comfortable as the one Tang Jiting had modified for her before.

She also repeatedly warned the ceremonial officials to keep the abdication ceremony simple and just go through the motions.

In the end, it still took so long. You know, Tang Jiting was pregnant, which was really exhausting. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let him participate today. I will definitely dock the ceremonial officer's salary later!

At the end of this grand ceremony, there was the decree of enthronement of Lu Liluo.

Tang Jiting was canonized as the Imperial Consort and given the imperial seal. Yuan Xianjun was canonized as the Noble Lord, Zhong Wuyan as the Virtuous Lord, Hua Manlou as the Shu Lord, and Lu Chengfeng as the De Lord.

At this point, Lu Liluo's harem, with the exception of the Emperor, had already been filled with the four highest-ranking officials, leaving no room for newcomers. This also meant that Lu Liluo had no intention of changing the entire harem structure.

Only Yuan Mubai was still young and had never served in the emperor's bed. Later, he was only given the title of talented person, but he was also allowed to live alone in a palace.

Lu Liluo had said long ago that if Yuan Mubai had other ideas in the future, Lu Liluo could set him free and let him marry the person he liked or do something else.

Although the Dongchi Kingdom has a rule that one woman has six husbands, isn't Lu Liluo the emperor now? He still has some power. Unfortunately, Yuan Mubai doesn't appreciate it.

I was so angry that my little face puffed up like a bun.

Since he was a child, he has been convinced that Lu Liluo is his only wife in this life. What's more, his brother is still here, so why should his wife drive him away?

He has been studying hard and has done nothing wrong.

She even told him to marry someone else. Where in the world could he find a woman better than his wife? She'd rather kill him than drive him away.

Lu Liluo had no choice but to let him do what he wanted - what could a child whose hair hadn't even fully grown know?

Adulthood is still several years away.

When he grows up, he will know the taste of love. It's a pity that she herself is not interested in it!
