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

"absurd!"

Lu Chen glared at the senior official of the Sanju Department who kept blowing rainbow farts to Jiang Chengdao, and angrily said:

"As the chief officials of the Three Laws Department, you represent the justice of the national law. Even if it is a huge case, no matter how extensive it involves, you must face up to the difficulties without evasion, and you must ensure the fairness of the case. Anyone's hand, otherwise, what is the use of your majesty asking you three judges?"

"Besides, the Holy King Cangming has been in the Cangming Realm before, has never entered Beijing, and has never participated in the affairs of the court. It is impossible to properly handle this case. Why do you think he is qualified to handle this matter on your behalf?"

"Handing such an important and major case into the hands of a person without any trial experience is dereliction of duty! It's a contempt for the law!"

Having said that, he directly raised his hand, pointed at the three of them and cursed: "You guys are worthy of the official uniform you wear, and worthy of His Majesty's trust?"

"Hmph! Ignorance."

Wang Zhi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, snorted coldly and said in a deep voice:

"It is important for people to have self-knowledge, do everything according to their abilities, and do what they know they can't do. This is stupid! This case is too complicated, and the identity of the perpetrator is very special. Even though I don’t want to admit it, but among the three jurisprudence, there is indeed no such outstanding person, and the only ones who are qualified to hear such a big case are His Majesty and His Highness the Holy King.”

"And just as Li Shaoqing said just now, His Majesty is still young, and since he succeeded to the throne, he has been ruled by the demon queen controlled by evil spirits for six years, and has rarely touched government affairs. Qianli, Your Majesty needs to start with ordinary government affairs and gradually become familiar with government affairs. Such a heavy case cannot be handed over to His Majesty for the time being, so His Royal Highness the Holy King is the most suitable person to handle this matter."

Xie Hongyun also turned his head, glanced at Lu Chen contemptuously, and said:

"What Wang Shangshu said is very true. Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Holy King must not pay attention to such ignorant and wild words. Although according to the laws of Daxia, His Royal Highness the Holy King has no right to accept this case, and there is no precedent. But in an extraordinary time, you should do something extraordinary. Don’t stick to the rules blindly.”

"The demon queen has ruled the dynasty for six years, and now there are chaos in Great Xia, natural disasters are becoming apparent, the people are suffering unspeakably, and there are frequent changes in the wild and alien races, and the eagles of all countries in the Western Regions watch wolves. In the world, Wu Neng will mount a horse to determine the universe, and he will lead me to ZTE Great Xia with a general who has both ability and political integrity. Otherwise, if I stick to the rules as before and don't know how to adapt, even if the demon queen is defeated, my Great Xia will not be able to survive. Returning to the former emperor's prosperous age, and even the country's foundation is in turmoil, the consequences are unpredictable!"

As he said that, his face suddenly became extremely solemn, and he raised his voice and said: "His Royal Highness will spare no effort to attack Luojing thousands of miles away, smash the Demon Queen's conspiracy, and wipe out all her followers, so as to save His Majesty from fire and water, and help all people to live in poverty." ..."

The deep voice resounded throughout the entire Taiji Hall, every word and every sentence was a compliment to Jiang Chengdao, but it didn't mention why he led troops into the capital for no reason, and why he disrespected the emperor so much. The emperor's awe was accepted frankly.

"Besides His Highness the Holy King, who can turn the tide from the collapse and help the building from the collapse?"

Having said that, he suddenly bowed his body vigorously, and solemnly said to the Empress: "The Holy King is well-versed in civil and martial arts, and is highly respected. He is the best candidate to handle this case. I beseech you, Your Majesty, to hand over this case to the Holy King himself." disposal."

As soon as the words fell, nearly half of the censors behind him leaned over at the same time.

"I implore Your Majesty to hand over this case to His Royal Highness the Holy King!"

"I implore Your Majesty to hand over this case to His Royal Highness the Holy King!"

If there are big shots taking the lead, there will naturally be others to follow suit.

Nearly half of the courtiers from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment bent down at the same time, begging the empress to grant their request.

Although the other half looked a little pale, they still gritted their teeth and stood where they were, without any expression.

After studying hard for many years, the conscience in their hearts prevents them from being madly friendly to King Cangming like those colleagues, but at the same time, their rationality also makes it difficult for them to step forward and criticize Lu Chen together.

As a result, they were in a dilemma and could only stay where they were, suffering a lot.

Some of the other courtiers were moved, some were expressionless, and some glanced at the person who asked the empress to play with contempt.

But no one came forward to speak out.

Seeing that they were so "shameless", Lu Chen immediately "opened his eyes wide with anger", and even his breathing became more rapid, his chest heaved violently, and he looked extremely angry.

"Shameless You!"

He yelled loudly, as if losing his mind, pointed at Xie Hongyun and others and cursed angrily: "As Shenghe courtiers, you are so shameless, in front of His Majesty, you have no bottom line to a powerful minister with wolfish ambitions!" flattery!"

Hearing this, Jiang Chengdao raised his brows slightly, looked at the figure below who was fighting alone, but still wanted to fight for the Empress, and thought to himself:

'Stupid is stupid, but... this kind of loyalty is rare. '

Stupid people can be cultivated slowly, but loyalty is difficult to cultivate.

Although he was scolded for being ambitious, he found Lu Chen more and more pleasing to his eyes.

After all, his current role is indeed a powerful minister with wolfish ambitions, and this is also the plan that the Empress discussed with him at the beginning.

Because, she needs to justifiably sweep away some moths who are not guilty of death.

‘As expected of being the [Supreme] chosen by Yuxi. Before he formally took over the government, he has such a loyal minister to assist him. This kind of luck...is really enviable...'

While thinking about it, Lu Chen fired all his firepower underneath, angrily scolding those courtiers who praised Jiang Chengdao, and at the same time pointed out that King Cangming had the heart of disobedience and disrespect to His Majesty.

Although everyone knew this kind of thing well, they also tacitly agreed that Jiang Chengdao was a powerful minister with evil intentions.

But it's one thing to know, but quite another to know.

Now there is a tacit understanding between the courtiers and Jiang Chengdao. If someone directly points it out at this time, it is basically equivalent to provoking Jiang Chengdao.

Therefore, in the eyes of all the courtiers, Lu Chen had already offended the Holy King Cangming to death.

If there were no accidents, either today or tomorrow, Lu Chen would be retaliated wildly by the Holy King Cangming who has now replaced Queen Mother Zhao and became the actual ruler of the new Great Xia Dynasty.

Didn't you see that Jiang Chengdao's eyes under the mask are getting colder and colder.

Facing Lu Chen's accusation, Li Zheng smiled contemptuously.

"Don't be bloody about Lu Ji's affairs. His Royal Highness the Holy King has worked tirelessly. He personally led an army from the Cangming Realm thousands of miles away to Beijing to rescue him, and punished the demon queen family who caused harm to the government and poisoned the common people. Such a great contribution, absolutely To be worthy of the word 'country scholar', we just admire the Holy King from the bottom of our hearts, how can we say flattery?"

Xie Hongyun continued: "Besides, don't forget about Lu's affairs. If the Holy King hadn't arrived in time, you would have been dismissed by the Demon Queen. How could you still be talking nonsense like you are now?"

Wang Zhi waved his long sleeves vigorously, and said in a deep voice: "Master Xie is right, before you slander us for being unfaithful, you might as well see what kind of guy you are, obviously His Royal Highness the Holy King has a lot of respect for you." Well, it's fine if you don't appreciate Dade, but you still slander His Royal Highness, who has made great contributions to the court, and has a heart of disobedience, isn't such an act repaying kindness with revenge?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen didn't even think about it, so he said with disdain:

"Even if I am persecuted by the queen mother, what if I lose this official position? High officials are like floating clouds to me. If I can't be loyal to your majesty, I don't want this official position! So where does this kindness come from? I have great benefactors in this world , Only Your Majesty is the only one, except for Your Majesty, no matter who it is, whether it is a sage king or a scholar, I will treat you equally, and will never bow down because of who is high and powerful."

After a pause, Lu Chen bowed his hands to the empress again, then looked at Jiang Chengdao, met his eyes without fear, and said solemnly:

"The only ones I respect in this life are the parents who gave birth to me and raised me, and Your Majesty!"

That's right, I am a diehard loyalist to the Empress, and I will never betray the Empress in this life!

Even if she is just a puppet emperor who can be manipulated by others!

So, quickly dismiss me, a foolish and loyal person who is ignorant of current affairs, so as not to be an eyesore.
