After the enthronement ceremony, the new emperor Liu Ji issued the first holy decree, crowning the queen of the Han Dynasty Lu Pheasant as the queen, the crown prince Liu Ying as the crown prince, and respecting the deceased mother Mrs. Liu as Mrs. Zhaoling.

A brand-new empire, accompanied by the rising sun in the east, was born in the eastern corner of the Central Plains - Dingtao County.

This is an anti-Qin and Qin-inherited empire, Liu Ji decided, the use of the parallel system of counties and states, in the Han land in accordance with the Qin system, the establishment of counties, but still imitate the old Warring States system, and at the same time set up kings with different surnames, although the kingdom under their jurisdiction obeyed the orders of the Han, but did not respect the Han law, and can set up their own prime ministers and officials, just like a country within a country.

This was by no means Liu Ji's original intention, but it was a compromise method that he had to swallow.

That night, the legendary queen jade seal, which was made in a hurry, was quickly delivered to Lu Pheasant.

In the delicate lacquer box with gold and silver buckles, there is a square seal lying quietly, small, with a tiger button rotating on the top, and a fine cloud pattern carved on the side, and the whole body faintly reveals a bright white light.

In the chaos of war, Dingtao can not find such beautiful jade and skilled craftsmen in this small place, probably because of the preparation in advance by Xiao He, the prime minister who stayed behind.

It can be seen that even if there is no need to be reminded by Uncle Sun Tong, Liu Ji has already prepared for the future, but the queen's candidate is always to be determined.

***

Lu Pheasant's heart was clear, he took out a little sealing mud from the attached mud basket, spread it on a piece of pale yellow thick linen paper, picked up the jade seal, and squeezed it hard-

At this time, although there is hemp paper, but the texture is rough, the texture is vertical and horizontal, the paper surface is not very smooth, and the four eye-catching small characters of the "Queen's Seal" jump on it.

It turns out that this is the legendary world's first queen's seal.

She knew that according to the Qin system, the word "seal" was an exclusive title only for the emperor's seal, and the seal of ordinary officials could only be called seal.

And the word "Xi" in front of her represents her lofty status, and also symbolizes the supreme power second only to the emperor.

Rao is that she has been reincarnated as a human, but looking at the four small words in front of her, there is still a wave in her heart-

Although the status of the empress is lower than that of the emperor, given that Liu Ji needs the Lu family to help him defend the outside and control the interior, it is enough to do many things.

For example, cultivate a private team that obeys your own orders as a support for critical moments.

Since he will probably follow the trajectory of history, he was pushed to the front of the stage by Liu Ji, and was forced to shoulder all the unbearable dirty work of killing the heroes of the vassal states, then the great counterattack of the descendants and heroes of the Liu family, which happened more than 20 years later, has already been put on the agenda.

According to the history books, within a month after her death, the northern and southern armies that were originally controlled by the Lu family and guarded the capital Chang'an City, Changle and Weiyang Palaces respectively changed hands, and the Lu family was unarmed and waited to be killed, almost wiped out, and her sister Lu Xiao was whipped to death.

This is an unforgivable mistake, military power is life, fortunately, this time, she still has time to slowly prepare, and even, slowly turn the situation around.

Another example is the cultivation and promotion of a bureaucratic class that is loyal to oneself, so as to gradually practice the unwilling hills and valleys in the chest.

***

Speaking of the hills and valleys in her heart, Lu Pheasant is confident that the issues she is thinking about at this time are only a lot more than those of Emperor Liu Jilai-

Years of civil war have left the vast empire impoverished and in ruins, from war to stability, from etiquette to taxation, all of which need to be formulated one by one;

600,000 soldiers need to be disarmed and returned to the field, placed and rewarded, and hundreds of meritorious soldiers need to be rewarded for meritorious deeds and awarded titles.

And out of compromise, Liu Ji bound by the interests of "sharing the world" with the seven kings with different surnames who deviated from morality also needed to be subdued and dismissed one by one.

With regard to these heroes and heroes, apart from the eradication and eradication of the grass and the eradication of the roots as described in the history books, is there a better way to not only promote the true great unification, but also enable them to make the best use of their talents and serve the country?

After all, if they were really preserved, they would be able to make fewer enemies for themselves, and maybe they would be able to protect the Lu family.

In addition, not long ago, the Xiongnu Empire in the north ushered in a young and fierce new king, Mao Dunshan Yu.

Mao Dunshan was brave and good at fighting, with hundreds of thousands of Hun cavalry, and successively annexed the old enemies Donghu, Lou Fu and Baiyang, which were unprecedentedly powerful, and took advantage of the Chu and Han wars to directly expand the territory to the northern edge of the Hetao region of the Han Empire.

Between Han and Hungary, sooner or later there will be a war, and with her temper, she is absolutely unwilling to leave the burden to her descendants.

Also, although this time can escape the crisis, but the benevolent and honest Liu Ying does not grow up for a day, and the shadow of Prince Yi will not dissipate for a day, how can Lu Yuan and Liu Ying pave the future life road smoother and safer?

Lu Pheasant, who was reincarnated, lived for more than 110 years in total, and her long life gave her patience beyond ordinary people.

***

At the same time as the position of the emperor and queen, there was also the location of the new capital of the Han Empire, Liu Ji thought twice and decided to follow the example of the Zhou Dynasty and make Luoyang the capital.

Since the capture of Guanzhong a few years ago, the Han State has been taking Liyang, the old capital of the Qin State during the Warring States Period, as the national capital, and now it is going to move to Luoyang, which is 700 miles away.

Luoyang is a famous city since the third generation, at this time in the city of Luoyang, there are the Western Zhou Dynasty, the late Spring and Autumn Period and the Qin Dynasty to expand the old palace, repair it, you can quickly enter.

Compared with the cold Liyang Palace, the luxury and magnificence of Luoyang Palace City are completely incomparable.

The palace city of Luoyang is divided into two parts, the north palace was built in the late Spring and Autumn period, and the south palace was built in the Qin Dynasty, which is more magnificent than newer and larger.

Emperor Liu Ji naturally moved into the South Palace, and the South Palace became the center of the imperial court, and the other concubines and others were arranged to live in the North Palace.

On the day of staying in the North Palace, everyone was full of joy, even Bo Ji, who was quiet by nature, was also busy, and for a while Zhang Luo carried into a big tent with tassels on a red background and black flowers at all corners, and urged the maid to hang colorful curtains on the frieze.

Lu Pheasant, who came to inspect the palaces, couldn't help laughing when he saw that Bo Ji was so busy that his vertebrae were scattered and he couldn't take care of combing.

"I advise you not to work too hard to decorate, we won't live in Luoyang City for long."

Seeing that the queen came to visit in person, Bo Ji hurriedly saluted, and then asked suspiciously,

"But how did I hear the rumor that the capital of the Han Dynasty will be Luoyang City in the future?

In the old capital of Liyang, it is said that only a little bureaucratic office will remain. ”

Lu Pheasant glanced left and right slightly, and the clever maids observed the words and expressions, and immediately consciously retreated to the door of the hall.

Bo Ji saw it in her eyes and sighed in her heart, the people around the queen are training better and better.

"For a while, His Majesty and the ministers have been discussing all day, and they have not been able to come up with a conclusion for a long time, and it is precisely for the selection of the site of the capital.

Although Luoyang City is prosperous, it is located in the center of the world, Rao is a traffic in all directions, and when it really encounters the wind and clouds changing color, it is also surrounded by enemies.

It is not like the land of Guanzhong, which can be defended on three sides, and one side goes out to the east, which is the golden city of our Han Dynasty. ”

"According to what the queen said, will we move back to Liyang in Guanzhong in the future?"

Lu Pheasant paused slightly, vaguely,

"I don't know, but I probably won't return to Liyang, but will choose a new place to start a new capital."

This glorious capital that rises from the ground will be called Chang'an.

"It's good to go back to Guanzhong, Guanzhong is stable and peaceful, and there are Hangu Pass and the Yellow River, which are safe.

His Majesty's eastward crusade for many years, thanks to Prime Minister Xiao Cheng staying in the rear, and governing Guanzhong at night, won the support of the people. ”

Bo Ji praised sincerely, and reached out to adjust the position of the green jade five-branch lamp next to the pillar.

***

These words seem to be careless, but in fact, they are secretly witty-

The king with a different surname is in the east, and Luoyang has no danger to defend, Liu Ji does not dare to live in Luoyang at all.

Although Bo Ji's background is drifting, gentle and supple, but she is by no means an ignorant person, her mother is a member of the Wei clan, and before Qin destroyed the Wei State, she really lived a good life for many years.

Later, after Xiang Yu destroyed Qin, the world was divided, and Wei Bao, the son of Wei, became the new king of Wei, and Bo Ji's mother waited for the opportunity to send her to Wei Bao's harem, in order to restore her former glory and wealth.

Later, Wei Bao was destroyed by Han Xin, and Bo Ji was selected by Liu Ji because of his beauty, which was included in the harem.

She was raised by her mother since she was a child, and although she was humble by nature, she really had a good vision and knew how to keep it in the open.

Following her words, Lu Pheasant thought of Xiao He, who was praised as a virtuous minister by the people of Guanzhong, but he was afraid of the people in Guanzhong, and he only knew that there was Xiao He, but he didn't know that there was Liu Ji.

In this situation, Xiao He must start planning the road to self-preservation.
