A week after the queen returned home to visit her husband, Liu Jun took the initiative to come to Lu's mansion. This week, Liu Jun believed that it was enough for Lu to figure out many things and calm down.

Liu Jun had no intention of deposing the queen, and even more so, he wanted to depose the elder and establish the young. However, there was no trivial matter in the Tian family. After a week, Lu went home to visit his relatives, and there were already some undercurrents in the palace, especially those concubines with princes, who inevitably had some traces.

Liu Jun is not ready to encourage this demonic wind. If he does not express his attitude, he is afraid that many people will go further.

In order to give the Lu family this step, Liu Jun came to Lu's mansion today and specially set up an imperial guard, which made it very lively.

Liu Jun wore a soft velvet robe, the color was bright yellow for royal use, and also wore a black tulle folded top scarf. The folded top scarf is similar to an ordinary black tulle hat, but the two are folded upwards, which is also a shape that the emperor had. However, his robe was not an ordinary narrow-sleeved robe that matched the folded top scarf, but a double-breasted narrow-sleeved plush coat.

In fact, the Han Dynasty's clothing and hat shapes were inherited from the Ming Dynasty, and the clothing and hat systems of the Han, Wei, Tang and Song dynasties were inherited, but they were not static. The integration of the Han people with other surrounding tribes, the collision and fusion of Eastern and Western civilizations, and the openness and tolerance of the Han Dynasty all gave the Han Dynasty's clothing and hat system a lot of its own characteristics.

Nowadays, almost all the tribes of the Han Dynasty have shaved their hair and have short hair. The criminals who were once sent to labor reform have short hair. Even now, the soldiers of the Han Dynasty have all had short hair, because on the battlefield, if the head is injured, short hair can better treat the wounds, and even in the military environment. Short hair is easier to clean and prevent lice. Nowadays, those with bald heads are no longer just monks, but may also be labor reformers or former labor reformers, minority tribes, or soldiers of the Han Dynasty.

Even schools in various places are now promoting short hair.

Liu Jun once publicly said that whether to keep long hair or not does not mean inheriting Chinese civilization or not, that is just a matter of habit.

Although Liu Jun has not cut his hair short yet, his long hair is actually not so pure. His hair is actually much shorter than ordinary long hair.

However, Liu Jun did not force his hair to be shaved, and he only allowed himself to love his long and short.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the Qing army entered the pass and forced her hair to shave her hair. As a result, countless Han people could cut their hair without breaking their hair. They were indeed tough and worthy of praise. But in the late Qing Dynasty, the Revolutionary Army asked for braids to shave her hair. As a result, countless people cried and shouted that they refused to cut them.

In Liu Jun's view, the essence of Chinese civilization is not long hair or high-capped belt, it is just an external form. It is only a part of etiquette, and civilization is definitely not etiquette. What is the core of civilization? Liu Jun believes that it is a universal concept summarized by the development of the Han nation over thousands of years, philosophy, history, etc., not just manifested in high-capped belt or long hair.

On the contrary, these have become a resistance for the Han civilization to absorb valuable foreign nutrients, and they represent a sense of conservatism and xenophobia.

Liu Jun also does not agree that the moon abroad is rounder than his own. But he does not agree with the idea that everything is good and everything else is dross.

In fact, the fact that the Han civilization can develop to this day is constantly attracting the growth and development of nutrients in foreign civilizations.

The most desirable attitude is to maintain an open attitude, maintain your own excellent cultural heritage, and also attract excellent parts of foreign civilizations.

Just like the merchant ships that were heading to Europe now, there were many envoys sent by the imperial court, who specialized in searching for various craftsmen and scientists from Europe, and they imagined to introduce them to the Han Dynasty. Now the cradle of officials in the capital university, there are many foreign teachers, astronomy, physics, geography, chemistry, mathematics, etc., and even art, music and other newly established disciplines.

Being self-supporting will only become more and more backward. Only by constantly attracting nutrients can you be more open and progress.

When he got off the carriage, the gate of Lu Mansion was wide open, and the whole mansion was standing outside the gate to greet him.

"Your Majesty." Empress Lu stood in front, with a nurse next to her holding two princes. Lu lowered her head, and her face obviously had some temper.

Liu Jun just smiled slightly. Women occasionally make trouble, and it is harmless. Even if they are queens, they will definitely be jealous and angry. But as long as it is not too much, Liu Jun can take it. Everything has a degree, and he can tolerate it if it does not exceed this degree.

But if he challenges his bottom line repeatedly, he will lose points. If he loses too many points, he will be on Liu Jun's blacklist and may eventually be eliminated.

"The queen is used to living here these days. Kun'er and Xiaoqi are okay?"

"The three of us lived here very happily."

Liu Jun smiled slightly and reached out to pick up his eldest son. The three-year-old eldest son was still very close to Liu Jun. He hadn't seen him for a week and was very intimate with Liu Jun.

"You carry Xiaoqi and leave."

The nurse carried Xiaoqi to Lu. Lu took it without saying a word and hugged it in his arms, followed Liu Jun and walked towards Lu's mansion.

Lu Weizhang followed behind, with a gratified smile on his face. Every time his daughter lives at home for one more day, Lu Weizhang became more worried. After seven days, the emperor did not send anyone to pick him up. This made Lu Weizhang feel much more worried. Now that the emperor came to Lu's mansion in person, Lu Weizhang was relieved to see that his daughter was still smiling so much.

Recently, there have been some rumors in the capital, saying that the queen is out of favor, and Lu Weizhang felt a little stressed when he saw his colleagues in the court.

Liu Jun and Lu each held a son and walked slowly, while others followed from afar without disturbing them.

"After a meal, you can take Brother Kun and Xiaoqi back to the palace with me. The New Year is coming, and there are so many affairs in the palace. You, the Lord of the Six Palaces, have to be the host of you."

"Your Majesty's harem is numerous, including the noble daughters of Mongolia, the princess of Korea, the queen of Japan, and the golden branches and jade leaves of the former Ming Dynasty. How could I need the daughter of a little businessman?" Lu said.

"You are not considered the daughter of a little businessman. You are afraid you don't know yet. Your father's current net worth has exceeded 30 million silver dollars, and he can rank among the top ten of the rich men. Besides, even if I am really a beauties in the harem, then you are the only one who is the lord of the Six Palaces. Don't be unhappy about the establishment of the crown prince. I still say the same thing, Kun'er is only three years old now, why are you anxious? I am only over twenty years old, and there is still time.

Today I will also give you a complete briefing. This great Han Dynasty was built by me. Starting from scratch, I will not be able to establish an heir so casually. To be my heir, it depends not only on my background, but also on my ability. However, Kun'er is the eldest son after all, and as long as he can have a middle-level character, I will give priority to making him the heir. Instead of struggling with the establishment of the crown prince early and the evening, it is better to think about how to better teach Kun'er's character and talent."

Lu has been persuaded by his father many times these days. He stayed in the Lu Mansion for a week and calmed down a lot. She also understood that the emperor was actually very tough and really angered the emperor. In the end, the mother and son must have suffered losses. Now that he heard the emperor's words of such a briefing, he was still very aggrieved, but he could already listen.

"Your Majesty, don't forget what you said to me today."

The Lu family also made a very grand job in order to welcome the imperial guards. Lu Weizhang is now serving as an important position in the court as the Secretary of Finance, and most of his industries have been handed over to others to manage. The court has had regulations that officials are not allowed to do business, but the specific situation refers to being unable to directly participate in business management, but if it is just investment and financial management, it is actually not a one-size-fits-all approach.

The founding marquis, secretary of finance, father-in-law, who had a net worth of more than 30 million silver dollars, Lu Weizhang, gave a lot of money to receive the emperor. He also intended to use this family dinner to allow those who had little thoughts to completely dispel those thoughts that should not have.

"Your Majesty. The urgent reports from Nanyang were transmitted back with flying pigeons all the way, and it seemed very urgent."

Feng Sheng, the Glossary Guard's Admiral, walked to the emperor and presented a letter.

Liu Jun took it and opened it. He quickly read the content and couldn't help but snorted coldly. "What should come will come eventually."

The Interior Admiral and some close ministers stood beside him and did not ask. But they all realized from the emperor's expression that something must have happened in Nanyang.

"How much does the Jinyiwei know about this?"

"When you go back to your Majesty, the Jinyiwei has just discovered it. These damn red barbarians dare to provoke so much. They have healed their scars and forgot the pain!" Feng Sheng replied.

Liu Jun was not very angry at this time. He was very calm. He had long known that since he intervened in the trade in Southeast Asia, the situation in Southeast Asia has been changing, and conflicts of interests will inevitably break out eventually.

Now, the three countries of England, Joseon and Spain have joined forces to jointly block the South China Sea trade routes of the Han Dynasty. The ports of the three countries no longer open to the Han Dynasty's merchant ships along the South China Sea and the Persian Gulf region, and no longer provide supplies. Their purpose is to block the Pacific routes of the Han Dynasty through the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean and even to the Americas.

Forced the Han Dynasty to sell goods to the Three Kingdoms, and let them become middlemen and re-export trade to make a lot of money.

The three countries even reached an agreement to block the navigation from the South China Sea areas such as Batavia, Manila, and Malacca to the coast of China, and prohibit Chinese merchant ships from passing through the South China Sea.

"The envoys of Spain, the Netherlands and England arrived in Singapore a few days ago and submitted a diplomatic document to us. The document requires the Han Dynasty to fully liberalize trade freedom and implement a zero-tariff policy on merchant ships of the Three Kingdoms. In the future, all goods exported by the Han Dynasty to the outside world must be resold by merchant ships of the Three Kingdoms." These people really dared to speak loudly, "They even asked the Han Dynasty to hand over Singapore, the territory of the Southeast Asian country, to be jointly managed by the Three Kingdoms."

"These people are afraid that they will be crazy. They dare to raise such requests. Do they really think we know nothing about them? Do they really think we don't know their details?"

Feng Sheng was very disdainful of the threats from the Three Kingdoms. As the chief officer of one of the important intelligence departments of the Han Dynasty, he knew very well what the so-called Three Kingdoms envoys in Nanyang were. This could not be called the Three Kingdoms envoys at all, but could only be regarded as the envoys of the Three Kingdoms merchants.

The Philippines Governor of Spain is better, at least a government official appointed by the king, but the Dutch Governor of Batavia is actually just a governor appointed by the Dutch East India Company. He is not a government official at all, but an executive of a private company, and the same is true for the British East India Company.

These two East India companies are just private companies, at most they have authorization from parliament and colonial rights. What they really represent are at most two private companies. Even if they have the right to declare war on diplomatic rights, they still cannot truly represent the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.

Even the governor of the Philippines must have not been authorized by the Spanish king.

They were just intimidating and threatening, but the big man completely saw through their background.

In fact, the Three Kingdoms have not yet wiped their butts clean. The European War is now entering the final stage of the European melee, and it is still uncertain when it will be.

However, the conflict between the British parliamentary factions and the royalists has become increasingly fierce. The British king often dissolves the parliament and continues to impose ship taxes, stove taxes, chimney taxes and various consumption taxes. In addition, the religious conflict between the Puritans and the state religions, the stubborn British king is moving further and further on the road to death. The intelligence sent back by the European Division of the Jinyiwei shows that Britain is now on the verge of a war breaking out at any time, and there will definitely be a civil war breaking out in the next year or the next year.

Spain is even worse. Britain has already escaped the deep pit of the European War, but Spain is still trapped in that pit.

The once invincible Spanish fleet has been defeated by the little British, and these years have been Wang Xiaoer's New Year, and it is worse than that of one year. In the European War, Spain contributed the most and was the most seriously injured. Three years ago, Spain sent troops to France and attacked Germany from north to south. It once hit the city of Paris, but it still failed and was defeated by the French army.

Even three years ago, the French Navy, which was even more unknown than the British Navy, defeated the world-famous Spanish Navy. By the same two years ago, the main force of the Spanish Navy was annihilated by the Dutch Navy, which rebelled and independent from its own country.

The backbone of the Spanish Navy has been broken. Britain, France, the Netherlands, any cat or dog can now defeat the Spanish Navy.

The Spanish army is still under threat from the French army.

Although the Dutch annihilated the main force of the Spanish Navy a few years ago, their merchant ships accounted for three-quarters of the total tonnage of European merchant ships and had more than 16,000 merchant ships. The Dutch capitalists who made their fortunes entirely through re-export trade and finance have also had a hard time now.

In Europe, they also consumed a lot of strength in the European War. On the other hand, the rise of France, Britain and Sweden, especially the rise of Britain on the sea, threatened the lifeblood of their sea coachman. The colonization and trade of East India, which was extremely profitable in the past, was seriously threatened by the Han Dynasty, and its profits plummeted. Even their other pillar industry, the shipbuilding industry, was poached by the Han Dynasty because of the lack of craftsmen and excellent designers, was also poached by the Han Dynasty, and the cost increased.

The shipbuilding industry in Dahan came from behind, and the ships built faster, better and cheaper, are snatching their markets. This further made the Dutch shipbuilding industry increasingly difficult, which made the profits of the shipbuilding industry lower. More Dutch capitalists were unwilling to invest in the shipbuilding industry, instead investing in the financial industry, lending money to European countries to lend money to profits.

The Dutch, who made a fortune entirely through trade, finance and shipbuilding, were simply losing.

There was civil strife in Britain and Spain was still trapped in the European quagmire. The Dutch's navy has increased a lot in recent years, but the East Indian colonists of these three countries wanted to go to war with the Han Dynasty, which was really overestimated.

"Threat people must also have strength. If they do not have enough strength, then their threat is just a ridiculous joke!" Liu Jun threw the letter aside and smiled disdainfully.
