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

The matter of Sleeping Immortal Tea is over.

Then Lu Chen didn't care about the matter anymore, but talked about business with Jiang Chengwan.

"By the way, Lu Qing."

Jiang Chengwan sat on the dragon chair, picked up the memorial and read it, and asked: "This time in charge of the seven provinces, who do you think it would be better for me to send over to assist you?"

The last time Yuzhou was in charge of flood control, Lu Chen was just an engineering major. At the same time, Xiao Yun was nominally the chief official, so he could only send some guards to accompany him for protection. As a result, when Lu Chen was in charge of Yuzhou, all matters were basically Doing it himself almost exhausted him to death.

"Fortunately" there is Fu Huan who is proficient in various secret techniques and magic circles.

This time Lu Chen was serving as the history of the seven provinces as a high-ranking official of the current dynasty. Jiang Chengwan could naturally send someone to assist him and help him share the pressure.

Lest he be so busy that his feet never touch the ground again.

Lu Chen thought for a moment and then said: "Let's ensure the normal operation of the capital first. After the collapse of Yan Song and Xun Qi's faction, the court's talent reserves are stretched thin. Now the officials of the three pavilions, six ministries and nine divisions should not move lightly, especially It’s Mr. Xiao and Mr. Liu who are now counting on them to stabilize the situation in the capital.”

"Let some young people who are not very experienced come with me to train them for future use."

Hearing this, Jiang Chengwan thought for a while, but shook his head.

"You still have to send some practical people to be your right-hand assistants, otherwise it will be difficult to open up the situation in the early stage."

Lu Chen didn't refuse, and responded directly:

"In this case, let's wait for two months to wait for the military and political affairs of the seven provinces to get back on track before calling them back to the capital. During this period, I will trouble Mr. Xiao and the others to work harder."

Jiang Chengwan nodded slightly, then pondered for a moment before speaking again.

"In this case, let Gao Ming, Xia Yan, Wang Qian, Li Liang, and Wei Xu go there. In addition, Su Ning will be in charge of the Tiangong Department, and Liyue will go to Yuzhou with you. In addition, you The promoted Lin Yi, Chu Fan, Wang Qi, Zhang Xuan and others will also go together, and the people you train will always be easier to use. "

Lu Chen nodded: "Your Majesty is wise."

"As for combat power..."

Jiang Chengwan began to think deeply again.

Lu Chen didn't bother him. Anyway, the lineup assigned to him by the Empress would definitely not be any worse, so there was no need to think too much.

After a while, Jiang Chengwan spoke slowly and continued: "Chai Hongyu and Fu Huan will go with you. There are two Guiyi realm warriors to protect me, so I can feel a little more at ease. After Fu Huan goes to Yuzhou, the people in the capital will Let Zhu Yong be the commander of the Xuanji Guard, and Su Ming will take over as the commander of the Xuanwu Guard."

Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but be stunned.

What?
Fu Hua and Chai Hongyu are both going?

Damn, why are there more and more women around me?
Moreover, if they all go to Yuzhou, what will happen to the capital?
Without a powerful person from the Guiyi Realm in charge, can the capital be stable?
Thinking of this, his expression changed slightly.

"Your Majesty, no. Miss Chai and Commander Fu are both powerful people in the world. With their presence, they can intimidate the young people in the capital and prevent them from having any wrong thoughts. How can we let them all leave the capital? ?”

Jiang Chengwan smiled mysteriously: "It is precisely because they are in Beijing that those stinky rats hiding in the dark dare not show up, so I want to transfer them to Yuzhou."

Seeing the look of wisdom on her face, Lu Chen couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.

Damn it?

Is this girl trying to play dirty again?
Um...why do I say "again"?
"Your Majesty, do you mean to lure the snake out of its hole?"

When he said this, Lu Chen's mind inexplicably recalled that when the empress used the Cangming Army to take control of the capital, and no one could figure out what the Holy King Cangming was doing, she asked the Holy King Cangming to play the role of a powerful minister. scene.

At that time, the empress used a tactic to lure the snake out of its hole.

Not only did he kill a large number of court officials who had no loyalty to Daxia, and screened out those who could barely be used, he also introduced him, a "great loyal minister" who was "unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness".

That was the beginning of a nightmare.

From then on, he began to rise rapidly, and in less than two years he became an important minister of the country. The top-level compensation that was once within reach became out of reach...

Unable to look back on the past, Lu Chen suppressed the discomfort in his heart, looked at Jiang Chengwan, and said with doubts on his face:
"But if there are no Gui Yi Realm masters in the capital who are loyal to the imperial court..."

"some."

Before Lu Chen could finish speaking, Jiang Chengwan interrupted:

"It's just that you don't know, Lu Qing. Besides..."

At this point, she suddenly and unconsciously flipped her hair beside her ears, and said confidently: "I never do anything I'm not sure about. It was the same when I eradicated the Demon Queen, and it's the same now... Since I dare to do this, naturally I am fully prepared, Lu Qing, there is no need to worry, just leave it up to me."

Seeing how confident she was, Lu Chen suddenly didn't know what to say.

Indeed, although the little empress was not as good as him in political ability, her ability in power and strategy was simply ahead of him. Otherwise, she would not have been able to make a comeback under the nose of Empress Dowager Zhao.

It was not an area he was good at, so he couldn't say much at the moment. So I had no choice but to agree: "Since your Majesty has his own plans, I should obey your orders, but... don't be afraid of ten thousand in everything, just be afraid of the unexpected. Please be careful in everything, and be fully prepared for contingency. No matter what, Don’t be careless.”

Hearing this, the confidence on Jiang Chengwan's face suddenly faded a lot, replaced by a look of solemnity.

"Yes, I understand."

An honest and teachable look.

After the matter of top combat power was decided, Jiang Chengwan named Wang Qian, Gu Yanming and other veterans. Naturally, Lu Chen had no objection to this.

The strength of these veterans may be average, and they are not the strongest warriors of the Dongxu Realm, but their ability to lead troops in combat is first-rate and they are very experienced. Having them help sort out military affairs can greatly reduce Lu Chen's pressure in this regard.

The candidates for civil servants, generals and top combat power were determined during the conversation between the two.

This is also the most important thing right now.

After that, Lu Chen and the Empress began to discuss the follow-up arrangements and some details. It was not until night fell and the lanterns were turned on that Lu Chen was able to leave Ziji City.

at the same time.

"Cang Yue, have you really thought about it?"

Inside the Forbidden Army camp at Hulao Pass.

Xuanfeng frowned and looked at the right-hand man of Gu Simiao, who was also the Shenwu General. He had worked with him for many years when they were in the Can Ling Army. Now his comrade was Cang Yue, the deputy general of the Imperial Guard.

"Although Lu Shaobao is a sincere gentleman, treats his subordinates well, and is a close friend of the general, but... leaving the Imperial Guard, giving up the position of deputy general earned by many years of military service, and participating in Lu Shaobao's selection of the new army... I still need to reconsider this matter. Just give it a try.”

When Gu Simiao, who had just arrived at the Forbidden Army camp overnight to hand over the military power, mentioned the new army to them, let them be mentally prepared. If there were any officers in the Forbidden Army who were interested in the new army, they should Try to cooperate as much as possible and take the initiative to advance this matter.

As a result, Gu Simiao had just left and took half a month's leave. Cang Yue, who had just returned to the camp, told him that she was leaving the Forbidden Army and was preparing to go south with Lu Chen to make great achievements.

It is said that instead of advancing in the Forbidden Army, it is better to go to the south and have a try.

After all, Lu Shaobao is well-known as a good boss. As long as it is the credit of his subordinates, he will never take away any credit. Instead, he will give his deserved credit to his subordinates. If something bad happens, he will take the initiative to help his subordinates take the blame. pot.

Nowadays, the middle and high-level officials of Luojing Civil and Military Affairs basically know that the south is currently unstable, and the turmoil may be a disaster for ordinary people, but for military personnel, it is a good opportunity to make contributions and win the title of Lord.

Xuanfeng never expected that Cang Yue would be so eager for merit.

But in his opinion, there is indeed a chance to gain wealth by following Lu Shaobao, but... they are now high-ranking officials in the Forbidden Army. The risk of giving up such a high position to strive for a better future is not small...

He has always been prudent, and naturally he will not be tempted by the so-called New Army. After all, there is too little news about the New Army now. All that is known is that it is the highest-level guard organization and is personally led by Lu Shaobao, the most popular person in the current dynasty.

Seeing that his friend was so impulsive, he naturally wanted to persuade him.

However, Cang Yue shook her head, without any sign of wavering on her face.

"Don't think about it."

She said calmly: "I believe in the general's vision. It will definitely not go wrong to join the New Army and follow Mr. Lu."

Hearing this, Xuanfeng was suddenly speechless.

I believe in the general’s vision and so on... It sounds like I doubt the general...

Moreover, the general only asked us to organize the imperial army to cooperate with the selection of the new army, and he did not ask us to participate in the selection ourselves, right?

However, seeing Cang Yue's attitude of "I've made up my mind, you don't need to say more", he finally stopped trying to persuade her.

"Ok."

He sighed softly and said helplessly: "Since you have made up your mind, I won't say anything. I will write you the paperwork later."

Cang Yue smiled at him.

"Then there's Brother Lao Xuanfeng."

Xuanfeng shrugged and said, "Just don't regret today's choice in the future." Then he turned around and walked out of the camp gate.

Watching his leaving figure, Cang Yue let out a breath of turbid air, then clenched her fists inexplicably.

After a while, her eyes became a little complicated and unspeakable.

"Ugh"

Under the bright moonlight, a sigh of great sadness slowly sounded.

There was a sense of confusion in the voice, which was completely opposite to the unwavering determination when facing Xuan Feng just now. (End of chapter)
