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

A fiery red figure fell from mid-air and lightly landed on a raised black stone.

In her hand, she held a spirit snake that was constantly struggling. The spirit snake kept twisting its body, tightly entwining it around the big hand that was holding it, trying to make the owner of the big hand let go of the pain.

But the next second—

Whoa! !

A dazzling fire flashed, and the spirit snake exploded almost instantly, and was burnt to black ash after a short while, and disappeared into the air completely after being gently pinched by the woman.

After casually killing the spirit snake, she turned around slowly, looked around, and saw some spiritual outfits, weapons, and the unscathed "Fentian" soldier talisman left on the scorched ground, A complicated look gradually appeared on his face.

The woman is naturally Chai Hongyu.

Not long after, she withdrew her gaze from the mess around her, then raised her head slightly, looking at the edge of a protruding rock on the rock wall.

"Fan Geer, you are right."

Facing the seemingly empty stone platform, she opened her mouth slowly, her eyes were a little sad and said:

"After tasting the taste of power and national fortune, Shenggong is no longer the Shenggong we are familiar with."

"Ha ha..."

On the stone platform where Chai Hongyu was watching, a rather carefree chuckle suddenly sounded.

Immediately afterwards, the air there suddenly twisted violently, and soon, a figure gradually appeared from the vortex of spiritual power.

I saw him dressed in Tsing Yi, with long black hair swaying in the wind, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a face like a crown of jade, he looked like a young talent from a famous family, the best killer of a noble lady.

"Things have come to this, it's useless to think too much."

The moment Ye Fan appeared, he stepped hard, and his figure disappeared instantly. When he reappeared, he was already standing beside Chai Hongyu.

"Instead of getting entangled in this, it's better to think about the plan after leaving the Rebel Army."

Hearing this, Chai Hongyu said without any hesitation: "Isn't it already decided when I was in Yuzhou?"

Hearing this, Ye Fan sighed inexplicably.

"Have you figured it out?"

"Ah."

Chai Hongyu nodded.

"The changes he brought to Yu and Sui states made me realize what the prosperous age really looked like, and only a great man like him with a heart for the common people is the real hope of the people of the world."

"But we used to be rebels."

"It doesn't matter."

Chai Hongyu clenched her fists with a calm expression.

"All I have to do is to show up in time to protect him when he needs it. When he doesn't need me, I will naturally hide in a quiet corner where no one knows."

"Also, I want to witness the changes he brought to this corrupt world."

Hearing her firm and decisive answer, Ye Fan couldn't help being a little moved.

"does it worth?"

"worth."

Chai Hongyu's response was still short but powerful.

Ye Fan sighed, admiration and regret flashed quietly in his eyes.

Chai Hongyu suddenly asked: "Brother Fan, what about you?"

Ye Fan replied directly: "Master sent me a letter the day before yesterday, asking me to go back to the sect as soon as possible. I guess I will have to stay in the sect during this time."

Hearing this, Chai Hongyu nodded.

"In that case, let's just say goodbye."

"Yes."

Ye Fan sighed with emotion.

Chai Hongyu didn't have any sentimental feelings, she directly raised her hand and slightly clasped a fist at him.

"There is always a banquet in the world. Take care, Brother Fan. I will take my leave first."

"Ah."

Ye Fan returned a salute, and then confessed with a rather solemn expression:

"Hongyu, remember what I told you before, do everything according to your ability, don't force yourself too much."

Chai Hongyu was silent, and took a long time to raise her head, nodded slightly, but did not respond verbally, she just cupped her hands at Ye Fan, then turned around, and walked slowly towards Luo Jing.

...............

After the Holy King Cangming left Luojing, the atmosphere in the court became more and more strange.

Of course, just after the Holy King left, Yu Wei remained in every corner of the Tai Chi Hall, and no one dared to openly talk about opposing the reform.

No one even mentioned the word reform to the emperor.

No one wants to take a holy ace back to the carbine.

But if the matter of system reform cannot be moved, it does not mean that nothing can be done.

Like now-

"His Majesty!"

The routine pilgrimage ceremony had just ended, and the eunuch in front of the empress had just shouted "Let's play if there is something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do". In front of the civil servants below, a tall and straight figure suddenly stepped out and bowed heavily to the empress.

"Chen, Chen Cang, the censor of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, has something to play."

The empress glanced at him, and said calmly: "What's the matter for Chen Aiqing?"

For the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which is in charge of a department that has the power to listen to the news, or for Chen Cang, the censor of the right capital, the empress does not have any bad feelings, but she does not have much good feelings.

In the case of Xia Yan back then, this Chen Cang hardly played any role. Not only was he too lazy to look through the relevant scrolls, but he was no different from other censors in handling things. The key to Xia Yan's case.

With Fang Ping in front of him, Chen Cang really looked a bit mediocre.

Under the gaze of the empress and all his colleagues, Chen Cang first raised his hands, pressed the wat board in his hand slightly, and then raised his voice:

"Wei Chen is impeaching Lu Chen, the new right minister of the Ministry of Industry, for having an affair with the rebels. He has an unclear position and even has evil intentions. Wei Chen has reason to suspect that this guy intends to disrupt our country!"

As soon as this remark came out, except for some people who looked normal and even had a hint of a smile in their eyes, everyone else's eyes widened in amazement.

What?Lu Chen had an affair with the rebels?

After hearing this, Lu Chen, who was the person involved, suddenly lifted his spirits, and the trace of drowsiness left in his mind disappeared almost instantly.

oh?Has someone finally picked something up?

And it's still charged as a traitor?

This charge is a bit serious.

According to the Daxia Law, anyone who has collusion with rebels will be punished with treason. Even if there is only suspicion, as long as the reporting party provides evidence, even this evidence can only indicate to a certain extent that the reporting person has a rebellious tendency. , those who are reported must provide strong evidence to prove their innocence, otherwise there will be no career career before then.

The Daxia Empire, or in other words, the political ecology of this high-martial world has always been like this throughout the ages, and it can be regarded as a common practice.

In the Great Xia Dynasty, it became an ancestral law left by Emperor Taizu Hongwu who always preferred to kill the wrongdoer rather than let him go.

Regardless of whether he is a favored minister, a sycophant, or a treacherous minister, as long as he is a minister, before he is determined to rebel, what he fears most is this kind of thing. Many powerful ministers have fallen into this.

Unless the emperor risked his life without hesitation, or the person being reported produced evidence to prove himself, the career of the person being reported would have come to an end.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen became interested.

The small hand under the empress' dragon robe suddenly made a crisp sound.

Chapter 160 Slander (please follow up!)

"Oh? Chen Aiqing, what do you mean, Lu Qing was disloyal to me and suspected of treason?"

The flat voice of the Empress slowly sounded in the Tai Chi Hall.

Chen Cang replied solemnly: "Return to Your Majesty, this is exactly what I mean."

He spoke with great certainty, as if he was ready to fall to land.

The empress narrowed her eyes, and the temperature in the hall quietly dropped a little.

However, before she could speak again, a beautiful figure suddenly stepped out from the front of the ranks of military officers.

"Lu Shilang is unfaithful? What a joke!"

Gu Simiao looked at Chen Cang with a cold face and said:

"You Du Censor, have you forgotten that when the demon queen was in chaos, corruption was rampant in the government and the public, riots continued in all directions, the society was in turmoil, and the people were in dire straits, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty sat by and watched His Majesty's power fall by the sidelines? When the demon queen's party feathers were causing troubles in Great Xia, who would stand up and be loyal to His Majesty regardless of everything, and angrily denounce the demon queen's party members for the country and society, and who would sacrifice his life to protect your majesty when the holy king pretended to rebel and usurp? retreat?"

"If you, Mr. Chen, were in Beijing at that time, would you have followed His Majesty as desperately as Lu Shilang, and devoted everything to Daxia's Jiangshan Sheji?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen's eyes twitched.

Miss Gu, Miss Gu, can I call you Miaomiao? !

You said it well, but please stop it!

Lao Tzu's heart began to ache again! !

Thinking of himself who was on the wrong team consecutively during that earth-shattering change, and thinking that the fairy road that was within reach has become more and more out of reach in the successive backstabs, Lu Chen felt so depressed that he wanted to die.

Who the hell would have thought that the Empress would be able to come back from a desperate situation under such circumstances, and the Holy King led an army all the way here, and it was really just to help the Empress regain power? !

This was the pain that Lu Chen didn't want to talk about, Gu Simiao's words were like adding salt to his wound.

Gu Simiao naturally didn't notice the strange look on Lu Chen's face, and didn't know his real thoughts.

After a slight pause, her voice suddenly raised, and she said word by word:

"If Lu Shilang's achievement is not enough to prove his loyalty, then in your eyes, Chen Cang, what is loyalty? Are there still loyal people in this world?"

This is a bit heavy.

Some courtiers who were at the scene but did not stand up to be loyal to the empress like Lu Chen did, but chose to keep silent and let it go, glanced at Gu Simiao with some dissatisfaction.
