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

The next second, when his eyes moved up, he saw his name.

My longevity tablet?

Lu Chen couldn't help but startled. At the same time, the woman took her son and kowtowed heavily in front of the longevity tablet several times.

After kowtowing, the woman clasped her hands together, closed her eyes at the same time, her face was full of solemnity, and said to the longevity tablet:

"The saints are above, all the gods are above, and the women of the people sincerely pray here. Please be sure to bless Mr. Lu Qingtianlu to have no illness and no disasters in his life, everything will go smoothly, and he will be promoted step by step, and he will be a prince for generations to come..."

Hearing this extremely solemn prayer, Lu Chen had an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

After a while, the woman finished her prayer skillfully, and after prostrating heavily, she pulled her son to stand up.

"Ruier, remember."

The woman looked at her son with a serious face, and said again the teaching that she did not know how many times:

"To be a human being, you must know how to repay your kindness. Master Lu saved our lives. If Master Lu hadn't punished King Yu, killed corrupt officials, wiped out evil gentry, and eliminated profiteers, he would have resisted all opinions and opened warehouses to release food. , our mothers have starved to death long ago, if you have the opportunity to go to school in the future, you must study hard, and in the future you will be a good official like Lord Lu, serve the court, and benefit the people."

The child named Rui'er nodded with a vague understanding.

"Mother, my child has remembered."

"Good boy."

Listening to the conversation between the mother and son, Lu Chen's mind suddenly came up with the various policies to benefit the people that he racked his brains for death from overwork during his tenure as the governor of the two states, and the scene when he went to various places to condolences to the people.

For a moment, he couldn't help but have mixed feelings.

At this moment, he even had a feeling that this was the meaning of his coming to this world and the meaning of his existence.

Chai Hongyu watched this scene quietly without making a sound, enjoying the peace and tranquility of this moment silently, relaxing physically and mentally like never before.

At the same time, in the Tai Chi Hall.

The empress and Gu Simiao, the supreme being in the world, the one who is powerful in the one realm, and the two peerless heroes, stared intently at the longevity tablet engraved with Lu Chen's name in Chai Hongyu's memory.

After a while, they turned their heads almost at the same time, looking at Lu Chen who was closing his eyes tightly, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Snapped!

With a crisp sound, the teleportation circle stopped working.

But Chai Hongyu couldn't hold on after completely proving Lu Chen's innocence, and directly lost consciousness and passed out.

The fiery red spirit body is still nourishing and repairing her soul, it seems that it is just a coma caused by excessive consumption of energy.

And she, the main body of the soul-searching technique, fell down, and all the magic circles and spells related to it stopped functioning at the same time. After Lu Chen groaned softly, he slowly opened his eyes.

"Lu Qing, are you okay?"

"Lu Shilang, are you alright?"

The Empress and Gu Simiao spoke at the same time.

In the next second, the two turned their heads at the same time and looked at each other.

"fine."

Lu Chen shook his head, then rubbed his temples and stood up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, General, for your concern."

"It's fine."

The empress responded softly, but Gu Simiao turned her head and looked at Lu Chen with subtle eyes.

In the next moment, she didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that in addition to the firmness in Lu Chen's eyes, there was something more inexplicable, which made people want to look more.

"So……"

The empress spoke again, and at the same time turned around slowly, her eyes swept over the courtiers not far away one by one.

"It's time to settle this matter."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Cang and the others trembled instantly.

click...

The empress stepped forward slowly, and the red dragon boots stepped on the floor made of spirit stones, making crisp sounds one after another.

"Youdu Yushi, do you have anything else to say?"

There was a flash of struggle on Chen Cang's face, and then he sighed heavily, kneeling heavily on the ground as if he had failed.

"Your Majesty, this humble minister misunderstood the villain's slander, and when the evidence was doubtful and the identity and intention of the witnesses were not clear, he rashly launched an attack, insisted on going his own way, wrongly blamed Zhongliang, and almost caused a catastrophe. As the censor of the right capital, he should have been aware , but being so careless, the crime is aggravated, please Your Majesty punish the crime of negligence and dereliction of duty!"

The empress's favor and preference for Lu Chen can be seen by everyone. When she is reasonable, she can be firm, but if she is unreasonable, she should admit her cowardice or quickly admit her cowardice.

Sophistry is meaningless.

In this way, for the sake of admitting their mistakes, they might be given a lighter sentence.

When Chen Cang opened his mouth, the others also knelt down and admitted their mistakes.

However, facing their confession, the Empress smiled coldly.

"Is it just negligence and dereliction of duty?"

Hearing this, Chen Cang and the others couldn't help but thump in their hearts, but their expressions remained calm.

"Forgive me for being blunt, and please speak clearly, Your Majesty."

The empress did not speak immediately, but gestured to Zhu Yong, the deputy commander of Xuanjiwei not far away, with her eyes.

Zhu Yong understood instantly, strode out directly, then took out a file from his arms, glanced at him mockingly, at the same time opened the scroll in his hand, and threw it in front of Chen Cang.

Chen Cang looked subconsciously.

In the next second, his pupils shrank suddenly.

"This...this is..."

After seeing the above content clearly, his face turned ashen for an instant, as if he had lost everything, he collapsed directly to the ground, his eyes filled with deep despair.

At this moment, he finally understood.

The empress's control over the court and all the civil and military officials far exceeded his imagination.

Even if Chai Hongyu didn't take the initiative to show up, she was sure to solve this trouble for Lu Chen.

Just need to wait for the right time.

As soon as he thought of this, his eyes suddenly went dark, and his consciousness was completely plunged into eternal darkness.

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

Chen Cang fell down, and the other courtiers who had the most trouble in this incident were also constantly wailing, and were pushed out one by one by Xuanjiwei.

Under the strength of the Empress, the menacing Continent faction fell apart in an instant, completely losing the ability to stir up trouble.

After this incident, Lu Chen not only did not shake his high status, but was even more valued by the Empress.

Obviously there is nothing wrong with it, but the empress still comforted him in front of all the courtiers, and even took out a lot of good things from the treasury to give to Lu Chen. Compensation for the grievances of time.

The post of Yushi of Youdu is concurrently held by Xiao Yun, the second assistant cabinet minister who has just joined the cabinet.

At this time, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, whether it is Zuo Du Censor Fang Ping or You Du Censor Xiao Yun, has an inseparable relationship with Lu Chen. Although these two people may not necessarily favor Lu Chen, they will definitely not target him like Chen Cang.

At the same time, when Chai Hongyu's image that proved Lu Chen's innocence came out, the entire Luojing was in an uproar.

Rumors and slanders have since disintegrated.

Everyone realized that they had really wronged a good person.

Especially in Chai Hongyu's memory image, when they saw the full version of Lu Chen and a group of Xuanjiwei being attacked, killed and besieged by traitors, and Chai Hongyu desperately rescued each other, they quickly realized that they had been besieged by traitors A poisonous scheme set up by means of preconceived ideas and out of context.

As a result, the instigated "sensible people" such as the teachers of the Imperial College and Gongsheng were as aggressive as they came, and as embarrassing as they were when they returned.

The siege of the Lu Mansion will be solved at will.

The next day, Lu Chen went to court as usual.

But the difference is that he is no longer like in the past, walking while thinking about how to find a chance to be dismissed from office or die at work. At this time, there is a trace of concentration in his eyes that he didn't have before.

This time when I went to court, I didn't meet Gu Simiao by chance again, and walked all the way to Tai Chi Hall alone.

"His Majesty."

After the formulaic pilgrimage, without waiting for others to report, Lu Chen took a step forward with a serious face.

"My minister has something to announce."

The empress nodded slightly.

"Please tell me, Lu Qing."

Lu Chen bowed slightly to salute, and then said directly:

"Your Majesty, I believe that although Chai Hongyu conspired against her, her original intention was not for her own glory and wealth, but to save the common people, and what she killed was not a pillar of the imperial court, and it was very likely that it was a disaster. There are corrupt officials on one side, so although her actions are extreme, they are justifiable."

"It's true that she was guilty, but it was also because the court made mistakes first. It can be said that it was because of the rampant corruption in the government at that time that gave chaotic officials and thieves like Yu Jiuyuan the opportunity to rise up. Chai Hongyu also saw the court If you have no way, you only place your hope on the blade in your hand."

"That's why, I implore Your Majesty to suspend the disposal of Chai Hongyu, restore her freedom, and wait until everything is found out before making any calculations."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the courtiers suddenly became serious.

This Lu Chen really dares to say anything...

As an official of the imperial court, the food of the emperor is the worry of the emperor. Even if there is something wrong with the imperial court, you can't say it. This is the basic rule that a courtier must abide by.

But this guy dared to openly accuse the court for a female traitor.

And that's the female rebel!

Even if she did you a great favor, you still can't abandon your position as a courtier, right?

Da Xia's law is written in black and white, no matter what the reason is, as long as there are rebels who conspire against them, they must be killed. This is the ancestral system established by the ancestors of Da Xia, and you, Lu Chen, even dare to touch this. Do you want to go to heaven?

As a result, as soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, a spokesperson immediately stood up to object.

"Lu Shilang's words are wrong."

An old censor with white beard and hair came out and said loudly:

"An anti-thief is an anti-thief. Even if she finds out with her conscience, she can't change the fact that she is an anti-thief. As long as she has the idea of ​​subverting my country, she deserves to die."

After a pause, he said again: "Lu Shilang, I know that Chai Hongyu has personal favors for you, but one yard counts for one yard. Under the current national law, no one can use private interests to seek public good. Please, Lu Shilang, don't do it for your own sake." Disregarding the law of the country for selfishness, otherwise, once this case is opened, there will be endless troubles!"
