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

Hearing Jiang Chengwan's answer without hesitation, Lu Chen's eyes suddenly twitched after a brief moment of daze.

no

Your Majesty, I want to move your imperial mausoleum to reduce your expenses!

Can you bear this?

How can you bear it?

You are the supreme emperor! How dare I be tempted by your imperial mausoleum for such a small matter, and take money from your internal funds, let your daily life plummet, and even affect your cultivation, such a reckless approach , how can you bear it?

Don't you fucking have a temper? What about your arrogance and ruthlessness when you directly killed the Queen Mother's party members in batches without a doubt, and made the Luojing execution ground bleed like a river?

Where is your emperor's holy spirit?

Even if it is Mingjun, a big project involving the imperial tomb and other posthumous affairs, and it will start for a year after a stop, will definitely have an impact on the entire Xunxian Formation, no matter what, you shouldn't agree so simply and decisively, right?

Don't you care about the immortality of Wuji after your death?

You don't even have any opinion at all, isn't your temper too good to be true?

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that Lu Chen didn't respond for a while, Jiang Chengwan asked softly: "Is there anything else Lu Qing wants to report?"

There was no trace of impatience in his voice, nor could he feel the slightest bit of anger.

Like a breeze blowing on the face, soft and gentle.

It seemed that she was not the hero who killed the Queen Mother's line before, with a decisive appearance.

In fact, if someone else made this remonstrance, even if it was right, she would not have a good face.

That is Lu Chen.

If it were Xiao Yun who brought up this matter, it would be a question of whether it would pass, not to mention the incomparably peaceful attitude now.

Hearing what the empress said, Lu Chen suddenly came back to his senses.

At this moment, he was almost completely desperate.

Even the matter of the imperial mausoleum was stopped as soon as it was said, and it also included several other items that touched Nilin. In the end, the empress agreed to it very readily, without any hesitation.

They have already rubbed back and forth on the bottom line of most kings, but the empress still looks calm and doesn't care at all, so what else can arouse his disgust?

The empress's trust in him was so strong that it was almost unshakable!

So expecting her to loathe him and oust him from his position basically won't work, so he has to go the other way.

As soon as he thought of this, Lu Chen had a calculation in his heart.

He raised his head slowly, first shouted "Your Majesty is wise", then cupped his hands again and said: "Your Majesty, water control not only requires enough money, food and spirit stone materials, but if the water aura in the upper reaches of the Qingjiang River is too strong and the water condition is too serious, in order to Just in case, there needs to be enough manpower to dig canals for flood discharge.”

Hearing this, Jiang Chengwan nodded without hesitation.

"Since that's the case, then the two states will be exempted from taxes for one year, and then the local labor will be levied. If it is not enough, Hanzhou and Pingzhou will be levied."

After Jiang Chengwan finished speaking, all the courtiers bowed their hands and saluted immediately.

"Your Majesty is holy!"

"Your Majesty's benevolence, I admire you!"

"..."

Obviously, the empress's natural approach has been unanimously approved by many courtiers.

However, at the moment when everyone's voice fell, a discordant voice suddenly sounded: "Your Majesty, no!"

Hearing this, Jiang Chengwan was startled for a moment.

The courtier's complexion froze slightly, and he looked at the person who spoke in surprise.

"Lu Qing thinks this is inappropriate?"

The one who spoke to stop it was naturally Lu Chen who proposed to open a canal to release the flood.

I saw him say with a serious face: "Return to Your Majesty, I believe that it is absolutely impossible to conscript labor!"

Hearing this, Jiang Chengwan didn't ask Lu Chen what was wrong with his decision just now, but asked directly: "Then what does Lu Qing think about this matter?"

He didn't even have any intention of asking Lu Chen to explain.

Realizing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth, and felt powerless again in his heart.

The other courtiers were also speechless for a while.

Your Majesty, this Lu Chen has already directly dismissed your claim. Why do you ask this guy for his opinion without even asking, but when it comes to us, why do you have to ask the end of everything? , I will never give up until I explain clearly, and even have to reprimand me?

Is this too eccentric? !

Shaking his head, Lu Chen didn't think about it any more.

Since the empress didn't ask, he didn't bother to explain. Anyway, no matter what he said, the empress' attitude towards him would not change.

That being the case, why waste effort.

So he directly cupped his hands and said: "Wei Chen believes that, no matter in terms of efficiency or rationality, the manpower required to dig canals for flood discharge should be sent by the local county government and the garrisoned Yuzhou Wei and Suizhou Wei, not two Those people in the state who have become more and more miserable during the six years of the demon queen's turmoil."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Xiao Yun finally knew what method Lu Chen had just mentioned.

She never expected that Lu Chen would actually focus on the local garrison and the government.

It wasn't just that she didn't expect it, the military officer standing on the right side of the Tai Chi Hall also didn't expect it.

"What?!"

One of them, a tall, middle-aged man with a full beard, immediately shouted loudly like thunder: "Let my subordinates do the coolies that only ignorant Qianshou would do? How is this possible? Absolutely not!" !!"

This person is the chief soldier of the Qingning Army of Yuzhouwei and Suizhouwei. top martial arts.

Hearing that Lu Chen actually set his mind on the soldiers under his command, he subconsciously rejected it.

Under the anger, there was a contempt for the common people in his words.

"Ignorant Qianshou?"

Seeing someone stand up with a dissatisfied look on his face, Lu Chen was overjoyed, but his face was covered with a sneer.

"Wang Zongbing, do you know that it is the ignorant Qianshou you are talking about, that the tens of thousands of people will hand over the food planted in the labor of sunrise and sunset to the court without delay, and the court will be able to give it to the court." You have money and food to support and train your soldiers to make meritorious deeds, so you are what you are today. As the saying goes, you don’t forget the well digger when you drink water. Now that you have made great achievements and are in high positions, but you look down on the people so much, isn’t it ungrateful?”

Speaking of this, he shouted loudly: "Like you, what is the face of such an ungrateful person who lives in the temple and is admired by all people?"

"you!"

Seeing that Lu Chen, a junior seventh-rank official in a green robe, scolded him so domineeringly, Wang Gan's eyes widened instantly.

"What are you? Is what I said wrong?"

Lu Chen shouted angrily again: "If you have a little conscience and know a little bit of shame, you should take off this official uniform made of people's fat and people's ointment as soon as possible, draw your sword and kill yourself to repay the people's kindness!"

"What? You actually said that this old man has no shame?" Wang Qian couldn't bear it any longer, and directly said angrily, "You yellow-mouthed kid, if you have the guts, say it again!"

"So what if I say it a hundred times?"

Lu Chen looked cold and disdainful: "The common people support the imperial court, and the imperial court supports you and others. Going back to the source, the common people have great kindness to you and others. Now the people in the two prefectures are facing the threat of floods, but because of the demon queen's disorderly government, every household With no surplus food, hungry and weak, even if they want to help the government to control the flood, they are powerless, and forced to conscript corvee, it is simply letting them use their lives to fill the flood!"

"And you enjoy the money and food paid by the people, all of you are strong and strong, and you count as ten, but you, as the chief official, are arrogant and arrogant, and you are not willing to do practical things for the people because of your merits. Isn't this shameless? "

Having said that, he suddenly stretched out his hand, pointed at Wang Qian and yelled angrily:

"Although the temple is large, there is no place for such ungrateful and shameless people like you to stand!"
