Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

Chapter 133 Discipleship
Luo Jing, Tai Chi Hall.

early morning.

"His Majesty."

Zheng Zhong, the left servant of the Ministry of Justice, stood up first, and raised his voice: "In the name of Wushuangzhu Kingdom, Gu Simiao openly supported the remnant party of the Demon Queen, and even sent the Cangling Army to attack Suzhou and other places, which is obviously a complete betrayal of the imperial court. , According to Daxia Law, the crime of treason is a serious crime that implicates the nine clans, please kill Gu Simiao's family immediately, and use the law of the whole country!"

As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen officials from the Ministry of Punishment behind them spoke at the same time.

"Your Majesty, please punish Gu's family immediately, according to the laws of the whole country!"

The Ministry of Punishment stood up to request the order in a uniform manner, which was completely expected by others, Fang Ping, Liu Dongyang and other big bosses were not surprised at all.

They didn't express their opinions right away, but just looked at the empress on the jade steps expressionlessly.

After the court officials from the Ministry of Punishment stood up, the court officials headed by Zhao Bingliang from Dali Temple also followed, clearly supporting Zheng Zhong and asking the empress together.

The empress turned cold, looked around at the courtiers in the two judicial departments below, and said angrily: "Wait...do you want me to become a shameless villain who doesn't trust me?"

Hearing this, Zheng Zhong and the others suddenly sank in their hearts.

So far, His Majesty still wants to protect Lu Chen...

"Wei Chen dare not!"

Zheng Zhong bowed heavily, first made an apology, and then continued: "It's just that if we don't deal with the Gu family as soon as possible, we will deter those who are sitting on the fence..."

"No just."

The female emperor said coldly: "I said, within fifteen days, no matter what happens in the barren state, I will not embarrass the Gu family. How can I change my words? I bear the destiny and represent the justice of the court. If I If you don't keep your promises and lose your faith, what will the subjects of the world think of me? For those young people who have their hearts turned towards the demon queen and have rebellious intentions, and harm my virtue, isn't it a small loss?"

"Zheng Zhong, what is your intention of admonishing me so much?!"

The weighty words at the end made Zheng Zhong and the others break out in a cold sweat.

"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

Solemnly hurriedly knelt down on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "It's my minister who didn't think carefully and didn't distinguish between the pros and cons, which almost caused a catastrophe. Fortunately, Your Majesty is wise and mighty, and didn't adopt the advice of this minister, otherwise I will die! "

Others also knelt down one after another, begging the empress for forgiveness.

The Empress snorted coldly.

"Remember, there will be no next time."

If it weren't for the fact that the imperial court was short of talents, almost all the courtiers who were persecuted by the Queen Mother Zhao and kicked out of the imperial court had already been called back, and there was really no one available, and Zheng Zhong's ability was not bad, otherwise She really wanted to drive this guy out of the court.

Hearing this, all the courtiers breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness."

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone got up one after another, and a look of joy flashed in their eyes at the same time.

Unexpectedly, after Gu Simiao clearly rebelled, Lu Chen, who did everything to guarantee her, would have such a holy family.

No sign of falling out of favor at all...

And Lu Chen himself didn't respond to this at all, and he had no intention of speaking at all.

The Empress's attitude was obvious yesterday, and it was almost impossible for these little shrimps to jump out and attack him at this moment.

It's useless, nothing to care about.

After Zheng Zhong and others retreated in embarrassment, in front of the jade steps, very close to Yan Song, the only surviving Ge Lao and the chief assistant of the current dynasty, was a man in a third-rank official robe with a majestic appearance. middle-aged people stood up.

"Your Majesty, I have something to announce."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Baiguan's expression turned serious.

And besides Sange, there is only one department that can make them react like this——

Ministry of officials.

And the one who stood up this time was Ye Cheng, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials.

The empress turned her head, looked at him, and said calmly: "Please tell me, Ye Aiqing."

Ye Cheng cupped his hands towards the Empress, and said solemnly: "My minister impeached Fang Yu, the interim magistrate of Ping County in Yuzhou, Lu Fang, the interim magistrate of Wuyuan County, and Lin Feng, the interim magistrate of Qingping County. He has acted mischievously and disturbed the people's livelihood, and lacks both virtue and ability to be an official. Your Majesty, please dismiss him from office, and choose other talents to go to the counties to restore the order of people's livelihood and preserve the prestige of the government."

When this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

After a while, a group of courtiers subconsciously looked at Lu Chen who was standing behind the officials.

Those acting county magistrates in Yuzhou were all promoted by Lu Chen when he was the governor of the two states, using the supreme authority of the extreme sword to forcibly break the rules and promote them. If they are really as bad as Ye Cheng said, promote them Lu Chen is also responsible.

Although this little trouble is nothing to him who is extremely prosperous in the holy family, if one is not good, it will affect the empress' favor.

The empress frowned, and instead of speaking immediately, she looked at Lu Chen.

After Lu Chen heard this, his spirits lifted.

He raised his head and looked at the upright middle-aged man not far away, his hands under his sleeves were slightly clenched.

Hard!

Fist hard!

"Dare to ask Shi Lang Ye."

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Chen stood up directly and said seriously: "What did Fang Yu and Lin Feng do in the counties, how did they act mischievously and disturb the people's livelihood? And who accused them of having a lack of virtue?"

Ye Cheng turned his head, glanced at Lu Chen, and said indifferently: "I suspect that I have slandered them?"

He wasn't very afraid of Lu Chen, an upright gentleman who was obviously favored by the Empress, but never formed a clique to seek personal gain and bully others.

Anyway, as long as he has reason, a clear conscience, and is dedicated to the public, this kind of true gentleman has nothing to fear.

"No."

Lu Chen said neither humble nor overbearing: "I just want to clarify the ins and outs of the matter, so as not to blame good people. After all, they are taught by the subordinates and promoted by one hand. They are regarded as disciples of the subordinates. Their character and ability are clear. I don't believe they will do this after becoming the county parent officers."

"Heh...that being the case, then I will speak carefully and let your majesty and colleagues see how absurd it is for Lu, a student you trust, to act as a county parent official in all counties of Yuzhou. See me Have you wronged them?"

As he spoke, he suddenly reached into his arms, and slowly took out a few scrolls from his arms.

Then he asked the Empress for instructions, and after the Empress nodded, he opened the scroll.

In the next second, with a flutter of spiritual power, curtains of light suddenly flew out of the scroll, and finally suspended in the teleportation magic circle engraved on the extremely clean wall on the right side of the Tai Chi Hall, turning into pictures similar to A picture like a photo appeared in front of everyone.

"Ok?"

After seeing the scene in the image clearly, everyone except Lu Chen couldn't help being stunned.

And at the same time that Lu Chen faced new troubles.

Barren State, inside Tianyu Pass.

"General!"

The guard commander Tang Ping, who was in charge of guarding this place, looked at Gu Simiao suddenly appearing not far away with a strange expression, and subconsciously put his right hand on the handle of the knife at his waist.

"Why are you here?"

"Ah"

Gu Simiao smiled coldly.

"This commander wants to come over and see how the traitor guards Tianyu Pass."

After all, the incomparably majestic spiritual power in her body exploded violently.

"!"

Tang Ping panicked, and instinctively wanted to draw his sword.

however--

Accompanied by a teeth-stinging sound, a biting cold air suddenly emerged from his feet, spreading throughout his body in an instant.

Before he could react, his whole body was frozen into an ice sculpture.

Clang!
Gu Simiao suddenly pulled out the crystal-clear long sword, and walked slowly towards Tang Ping, who had been completely frozen, with a blank face under the watchful eyes of the terrified guards.

Facing the terrifying coercion of the Guiyi Realm expert, although Tang Ping's personal guards wanted to stop him, his feet were as if they had been filled with lead, unable to move at all.

In the end, he could only watch Gu Simiao walk up to Tang Ping, and mercilessly cut him down with his sword.

boom!
The ice sculpture was instantly torn into countless pieces.

The broken ice that fell on the ground was covered with hot blood.

And as Gu Simiao, who was supposed to appear on the Suzhou battlefield to fight against the Holy King of Cangming, appeared in this pass that has been controlled by the Queen Mother Zhao and has always been used to resist alien races, the real war in the barren state, at this moment It hit hard.
