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

Yuzhou prison.

Looking at Liao Ji, who was bleeding from all seven orifices in front of him, who was already dead, but died extremely peacefully, and the corpses of his accomplices who were finally caught, Lu Chen couldn't help but look down.

Then his eyes suddenly narrowed, and he looked at Zhao Ping, the prefect of Yuzhou, and Yuan Wu, the official.

"Suicide in fear of crime?"

Yuan Wu bowed slightly, and then replied in a muffled voice: "Yes, Governor, the humble position has been carefully confirmed several times, and the possibility of homicide is basically ruled out."

Lu Chen stared at him.

"Where did the poison come from? How did it get into their stomachs?"

Yuan Wu squinted his eyes, cupped his hands rather contemptuously and said: "I don't know about the lowly position, but most likely they were poisoned when they were caught by you, my lord. Seeing that there is no hope of getting rid of the crime, they knew that they would die, so they directly took the poison and committed suicide."

"Ah……"

Lu Chen smiled coldly.

"When they were imprisoned, did the prison officer not search you?"

"We searched, but they hid the poison in such a hidden way that it was hard to detect."

With that said, Yuan Wu bowed again, and while lowering his head, a look of disdain flashed across his face.

A dying person who is about to face catastrophe, and now that the imperial edict has not been issued, he can still show off his prestige.

When the imperial court reacts, such idiots who dare to kill the first-rank royal family will surely die without a place to bury them. What is there to be afraid of?

"Your Excellency, it's not that I've neglected my duties. It's because the suspect is too cunning and extremely decisive. He committed suicide decisively when he felt that there was no hope of survival. Once such a decisive person has the will to die, even if I wait for a moment to loosen my guard, it will be difficult to stop him." They committed suicide, please learn from adults."

Regarding Yuan Wu's remarks, Lu Chen did not respond directly, but turned his head suddenly and shouted:

"Where is Xuanjiwei?"

Click!

A black shadow flashed, and more than a dozen Xuanjiwei appeared behind Lu Chen like ghosts.

"The humble job is here!"

Except for Fu Yu, all the Xuanji guards bowed to Lu Chen in unison.

"My lord governor, please give me instructions."

Lu Chen nodded slightly, then waved his hand.

"Let me control all the personnel related to the Yuzhou Prison in the near future, including the pawns, jailers, chefs, Ye Xianglang, etc.!"

After the words fell, Yuan Wu's complexion changed slightly.

"Your Excellency, humble position..."

He wanted to say something, but Zhao Ping's eyes flashed unnaturally.

Lu Chen snorted coldly and interrupted directly.

"Do it!"

"Here!"

Xuanjiwei responded in unison, and then struck directly, easily restraining all the jailers and servants.

Zhao Ping walked up to Lu Chen and said in a low voice: "My lord, these suspects committed suicide in fear of crime. Although Yuan Wu is suspected of dereliction of duty, he only needs to deal with it according to the law. What is the relationship between Houchu, Ye Xianglang and others? Why make things difficult for them?"

Lu Chen glanced at him indifferently.

"If Liao Ji and other suspects committed suicide in fear of crime, I will naturally not embarrass them, but I do not believe that they committed suicide!"

Hearing this, Zhao Ping's face suddenly revealed a touch of undetectable gloom.

At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.

"The imperial decree has arrived, the governors of Yu and Sui, and the engineering department will accept the decree for Lu Chen in the matter!"

A clear voice followed.

But the first imperial decree directly issued by the empress in the court arrived as scheduled.

Zhao Ping suddenly lifted his spirits, and a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes.

The edict finally came.

In his opinion, now that the Empress is in charge, it is time to win over people's hearts, and Lu Chen's audacity to kill King Yu will definitely not end well.

No, retribution is coming!

Recalling that recently, Lu Chen made things difficult for the scholars of Yuzhou for the sake of those people who didn’t care at all. All the accounts of the county government.

It almost turned the entire Yuzhou officialdom and the aristocratic and powerful structure upside down, and offended everyone to death.

What's more, this guy doesn't know how his brain grows, and his ability is simply terrifying, as if he can read people's hearts, he can see through the tricks of various county magistrates at once, and then judge the crime and sentencing.

After that, relying on the supreme authority of the sword of the extreme way, he directly ordered the counties to open warehouses to release grain to the people, and randomly checked them.

If he hadn't reacted very quickly, immediately contacting all the clans in Yuzhou and the county governments in various places when he saw that the situation was not good, and covering up positions overnight at all costs, otherwise the entire Yuzhou officialdom would be overwhelmed by now.

This guy dared to kill even the incomparably noble King Yu, let alone these little shrimps.

Well now, this outlier who acted extremely absurdly, and could even be extremely crazy, is finally going to be punished by decree.

Let's see how arrogant he is when he loses the emperor's protection and the ultimate sword in his hand.

There is not much food distributed now, and the loss is not too great. As long as Lu Chen is driven out of Yuzhou, they can still afford this loss.

As long as there is no such psychopath as Lu Chen, they will have a lot of opportunities to earn back this loss.

Yuzhou is still their Yuzhou after all.

And Yuan Wu, who was dragged away like a dead dog, showed ecstasy after hearing this voice.

It's a pity that he resisted subconsciously just now, and the acupuncture points of his whole body were directly sealed by the Xuanwu guards, making him unable to move, otherwise he would have laughed wildly on the spot and sneered at Lu Chen loudly.

Other state government officials also showed joy.

The imperial decree came, the god of plague is finally going to get out of their Yuzhou, how can they not be happy.

However, as the so-called results come out, everything is possible, and they are cheering at this time, it seems that it is still too early.

While thinking about it, a beautiful woman in palace attire held an imperial decree and walked in with a few palace people.

Seeing them walking towards him, Lu Chen frowned slightly, then got up to meet them.

After the formulaic etiquette was over, the palace man who delivered the decree directly read aloud:

"Extreme Dao Carrier Emperor, Zhiyue..."

Hearing this, Zhao Ping couldn't help but look stagnant, and instinctively felt something was wrong.

The system said...

What is the system? !

Zhiyue is an imperial decree used to confer rewards and express the mighty grace of the emperor!

He, Lu Chen, almost killed King Yu. Even if he had the sword of extreme dao, in order to calm people's hearts and appease the royal family, at least he should be suspended from his post and investigated, right?

No matter how bad it is, Luo Jing must be called back to give him a severe reprimand!

What the hell is Zhiyue? !

Immediately afterwards, as if to confirm his guess, the palace man continued to read:

"Nowadays, there is an engineering department. Lu Chen, the governor of the Sui and Yu states, is resolute and courageous. He is not afraid of power. He is loyal to the emperor and loves the people. He is diligent in government, brave in doing things, virtuous and upright. He has worked tirelessly to govern the region, and he has stopped the complaints of the two states. The people's livelihood is gradually recovering, and they are deeply loved by the people of the two prefectures. The people are the foundation of the country, and the people's aspirations are the foundation of the country. ..."

Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but twitch his eyes.

Nima, this empress is really poisonous, right?

There are so many ways to deal with this matter, why did you choose the one you shouldn't choose? !

Are you fucking out of your mind? !

After listening to the content of the imperial decree, Yuan Wu's eyes went dark, he completely lost consciousness, and was finally thrown into the cell like trash.

But Zhao Ping's expression completely changed.

The imperial decree was full of praises for Lu Chen, without a single word accusing him of failing to abide by his duties as ministers, and committing offenses below and above.

Such a reward!

A posture of hoping that Lu Chen will continue to work hard.

what does that mean?

It means that Lu Chen's favor is still there and has not been affected at all!

Even if he almost killed King Yu, the first-rank prince!

That is to say, the Empress still has great trust in him, and she will not remove Lu Chen from the post of governor because of King Yu's matter, but seems to rely on him even more.

Lu Chen's position as governor is far more stable than he imagined.

And after this incident, Lu Chen is almost equivalent to becoming famous in the first battle.

He killed King Yu mercilessly, causing King Yu to lose his hands and feet, and the road to immortality. Afterwards, not only was he not punished, but he was also given money and spiritual stones. On rewards for meritorious deeds.

What kind of shit is this? !

In this place of Yuzhou from now on, I'm afraid this fellow will walk sideways, right?

"My servant, thank you, Lord Long En."

After the palace servants finished reading the imperial decree, Lu Chen responded indifferently and accepted the imperial decree.

Regarding Lu Chen's plainness, the palace servants were not at all annoyed, but said with a smile on their faces:

"Congratulations, Master Lu."

"Your Majesty Lu has received such favor from His Majesty, but he is still not shocked by honor or disgrace, and treats it indifferently. He is really a role model for my generation..."

"..."

Others also wanted to say something nice, but Lu Chen said blankly: "If you have nothing to do, you can go back to Luojing to serve His Majesty. I still have some business to deal with, so I won't accompany you."

The palace people still laughed at these extremely straightforward words.

"Business is important, Mr. Lu don't need to care about me."

Lu Chen cupped his hands towards them, then turned and left the prison.

Fu Yu followed closely behind, and under Zhao Ping's complicated eyes, gradually disappeared into the corridor at the entrance.

As soon as Lu Chen came outside, Fu Yu who was behind him suddenly came over.

"Governor Lu, Fang Yu and the others are leaving for their post today. Before leaving, they would like to ask for advice on how to govern."

"Is it."

Lu Chen nodded, "Where are they?"

During this period of time when he was working desperately, whenever he had the opportunity, he would take a few Xuanjiwei who were about to take up positions such as interim county magistrate and interim judge to go out to observe the people's sentiments, teach them how to deal with government affairs, and by the way Put forward some ideas about improving people's livelihood that even I don't know if it will work.

Of course, in terms of government affairs, he is only a half-assed person. The reason why there are so many is just because he is a hardcore old bookworm who has been in the Internet literary world since he was a child, and he prefers to read historical Internet articles, so Know all kinds of strange knowledge.

But even so, in this world of high martial arts where most scholars only seek immortality and improve their cultivation, he still appears to be quite outstanding.

It is more than enough to be the teacher of Xuanjiwei who is like a blank sheet of paper in martial arts.

Fu Yu said softly: "The Yamen hall."

"Well, the officer will go now."

Seeing that Lu Chen agreed so decisively and simply, Fu Yu couldn't help being slightly dazed.

After a while, she raised her hand and bowed slightly to Lu Chen: "Thank you, Governor Lu, for taking time out of your busy schedule to preach to Xuanjiwei."

As the commander of Xuanjiwei, the former boss of Xuanwuwei, she naturally had to express something about Lu Chen's generosity in passing on some knowledge that she considered extremely valuable to her subordinates.

"It's just some personal opinion, and it should not be said as preaching."

Lu Chen had an indifferent expression on his face.

He really doesn't care much about these.

Although he knows that knowledge in this world, especially the knowledge of sect secret books and family studies, and secret methods such as martial arts and secret arts, has always been tightly closed, and will not be passed on lightly. Encrypted with special characters that only direct relatives can understand.

But Lu Chen felt that the knowledge in his mind was not a big deal, and there was nothing worth keeping secret, so he didn't care much.

However, what he didn't know was that, for him to pass these insignificant things to Fang Yu and other dozens of Xuanjiwei, it was no less than preaching to them.

Learning can give practitioners more opportunities to realize Taoism, and enlightenment can better improve their cultivation base and solid foundation;

Cultivation techniques are the means of using the power of heaven and earth;

For cultivators, the former is obviously more important, and therefore, learning has always been the top priority of Zongmen aristocratic families.

Therefore, although Lu Chen, Fang Yu and others do not have the name of master and apprentice, they have the reality of master and apprentice.

He also didn't notice that Fang Yu and the others, and even Fu Wei, looked at him at this time, not just a simple relationship between superiors and inferiors, but more, it was respect for the masters, and as they moved from Lu Chen As I learned more and more from myself, this respect also grew stronger.

There is no Confucianism in this world, only [the emperor is the top, the cultivators are second, and the people are the bottom], [the cultivators are supreme, and the people are like grass], [the one who wins the heart of the cultivator wins the world], [the emperor and the monks rule the world together] In this world, they are more and more affected by Lu Chen's unintentional remarks, like seeds full of vitality.

And, those seeds are about to fall into the soil.

As for whether it will thrive in the future, or be overwhelmed by the storms of the outside world, and eventually disappear in the dust, who knows?

"Governor Lu is too modest."

Lu Chen shrugged, noncommittal.

While talking, the two walked side by side towards the lobby.

After walking for a while, Fu Yu suddenly asked: "Governor Lu, there is a question I have been trying to understand, can you explain it to me?"

Lu Chen said casually, "Let's listen."

Fu Yu took a deep breath, and then asked softly: "Governor Lu, I want to know that you clearly have a huge contribution to His Majesty that is almost equivalent to Conglong's merits, and His Majesty also trusts you incomparably, so, Even if you don't do anything, you can rely on this credit and your friendship with His Majesty to forge ahead, dominate the world, create a prosperous world with His Majesty, and leave a good story about monarchs and ministers in the history books, why?"

Having said that, she paused inexplicably, then gritted her teeth lightly, struggled for a moment, and then said slowly: "Why would you rather take the risk of being tolerated by the royal family, the powerful family, the officialdom, the generals, and the nobles? Want to seek justice for the people of this world?"

"Obviously there is no need for this, is there?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen paused subconsciously.

"What for what?"

While whispering, a hint of confusion quietly flashed in the corner of Lu Chen's eyes.

After a while, he shook his head, no longer dwelling on the question that came to his mind just now.

Anyway, it doesn't matter which one it is, after all, the result is the same, so there is no need to get entangled.

After clearing up his mood, he calmly gave an answer——

"I don't want to be named Marquis, but I hope the world will be peaceful."

Hearing this sentence, or this line of poem, Fu Yi was stunned.

I don't want to be named Marquis, but I hope the world will be peaceful.

What a noble sentiment!

Seeing Lu Chen's calm face, as if he was stating a matter of course, Fu Wei felt that the figure of the man in front of him became more and more blurred.

Confirmed with the editor, it will be on the shelves at 12 noon on Friday, and it will be updated at that time. It will start with six chapters, and it will be updated depending on the situation. I hope that readers will support me a lot.

Thank you brother!
