C237 Weiyang Palace (2/2)

When the officer saw that the two of them did not kneel down, he panicked.

Although he did not make a sound at this solemn time, the action of him kneeling and kowtowing was an indication of the nervousness in his heart.

However, Lu Zhi didn't say anything and simply nodded his head.

It was obvious that in a country that was not yet a centralized power, it was not strange that an official refused to kneel.

In the country, there were still a lot of vassals who refused to kneel and bow, and even refused to listen to the public.

Thus, although stubborn and distorted, the eunuchs of the Inner Court still hoped to establish royal dignity, and thus gain greater power.

However, Lu Zhi was already used to the present situation.

In fact, since ancient times, emperors rarely truly controlled their subordinates.

This was a very simple logic.

In ancient times, the imperial power of the strong, will lead to the imperial power to attach to the inner court eunuchs to the same strong.

This was because they all had one thing in common. They all came from the imperial palace, and from the centralization of power.

If the ancient emperors were truly supreme, then the eunuchs would be absolutely fearless in this place.

However, the power of the eunuchs was rarely seen in history.

The brief duration of the eunuchs' power in history had already proven the supremacy of the imperial power. It was just a lie.

As for most of the time, the Emperor's authority came from his own prestige as well as the art of checks and balances.

”This Feng Jian, in the end, isn't he a specialist!” Xiao Wen silently thought in his heart.

After bowing to Lu Zhi, Lu Zhi politely excused himself from the ceremony. Lu Zhi even gave a seat to the two of them because of their contributions.

At this time, Lu Yuan, who had brought Xiao Wen and Uncle Li to Weiyang Palace from outside the city, also walked all the way to Lu Zhi's side.

”Muhou.” In the end, Lu Yuan was still the Grand Princess, so she was also full of respect for his mother.

In fact, the longer he remained in the political scene of the Han Dynasty, the more he revered his mother.

Lu Zhi also nodded at Lu Yuan. She asked, ”Did anything happen along the way?”

Lu Yuan was stunned as he saw her beautiful figure move and lock onto Xiao Wen.

She said, ”This Xiao Wen is very shrewd. He is a dangerous character.”

”Is that so?” Upon hearing these words, Lu Zhi's eyes slightly narrowed. This action had also caused the faint trace of a smile to appear on her face.

However, in the political arena, the older the monster, the more power it had.

Perhaps, when Lu Zhi's fish-tail pattern could no longer be disguised with makeup, her level of politics would be enough for her to control Liu Ying and hold court from behind the curtain.

”I see.” Seeing the worry in his daughter's eyes, the corner of Lu Zhi's mouth curled up into a doting smile.

Then she said, ”Go back and rest! Just leave it here to the Queen Mother. ”

”Okay.”

Lu Yuan bowed once again, then walked towards the entrance of Weiyang Palace and left.

However, the moment she neared Xiao Wen, she suddenly discovered that Xiao Wen's face seemed to maintain a faint smile at all times.

His gaze was ice-cold, as if he was planning something.

That ice-cold look in his eyes …

Lu Yuan immediately understood that this Xiao Wen before him was not just a wandering practitioner who had read a lot of poetry and was slightly more capable.

Perhaps, he was just like the rumours that said that during the Spring and Autumn Warring States era, the Unhindered Family members, such as Su Qin and Zhang Yi, were able to use their mouths and bring forth earth-shattering might.

He was a born politician, a political genius who, upon entering the political arena, would use methods that would give even old politicians, who had been immersed in their own world for many years, a headache!

”I wonder how far this Xiao Wen can push mother …” Faintly, Lu Yuan felt a trace of worry.
