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

With the implementation of the policy of putting into production and building factories in Montenegro, the court finally became stable for a period of time.

In other words, since Lu Chen turned his attention to Heishan and Tiangong Division, the temple has ushered in a rare peace.

However, after various matters regarding the construction of the factory were on track, Lu Chen once again set his sights on the Ministry of Works, and the atmosphere in the court became a little subtle again.

"His Majesty."

Ziji City, Taiji Hall.

At the great court meeting, just after the worship ceremony, a rickety figure walked out of the ranks of civil servants and bowed to Jiang Chengwan.

"Wei Chen, Tianlan Dao Censor Yan Guangbi has something to report."

Jiang Chengwan turned his head and glanced at him, quickly recalling information related to him in his mind.

Soon, she remembered that this old man was dismissed from office and exiled when the Queen Mother was in charge of the dynasty. Not long ago, he was elected by the official department because he had a straight name and was not afraid of the powerful and upright. Then, with her approval, he was recalled to Luo Luo from the place of exile. Officials serving in Beijing.

After remembering who he was, Jiang Chengwan quietly looked away.

Originally, she attached great importance to those "virtuous ministers" who were expelled from the court by the Empress Dowager Zhao, but after Chen Cang and others targeted Lu Chen for their own selfish purposes, and quite a few of the so-called virtuous ministers were recalled to the capital, they have not shown any signs of success until now. The performance of her eyes sometimes hindered her, and she had much less expectations for these people.

Although it is not true that there are truly virtuous ministers among them, such as Fang Ping and Liu Dongyang, who are very good, there are quite a few mediocre or superficially loyal and treacherous people in name only, so now she actually has no regard for these so-called virtuous ministers. I don’t have much good feelings anymore.

Not as powerful as the Xuanji Guards brought up by Lu Chen's words and deeds.

"Please speak, Yan Aiqing."

Although he is not expected to do anything practical, as long as he maintains the normal operation of the court, he must still have the proper etiquette.

After receiving the emperor's instructions, Yan Guangbi immediately cleared his throat and then raised his voice and said: "The minister impeached Zhang Shiping, the commander of the Yuzhou Guard of the Qingning Army, for deliberately provoking disputes and condoning his subordinates' misdeeds. He actually treated Qingzhou, who was also a member of the Qingning Army, The guards pointed their swords at each other and even killed and injured dozens of Qingzhou guards!"

"Being so wanton and reckless shows that this country has nothing to do with the law of the country. If such an arrogant person does not punish the law and clarify the punishment, where is the dignity of the court? Where is the power of His Majesty?"

Having said this, he bowed heavily again and said in a deep voice: "Please kill this beast immediately, according to the law of the whole country!"

As soon as these words came out, many courtiers instantly became energetic.

Most of them didn't know who Zhang Shiping was, but the official position of Yuzhou Guard Commander aroused their ideas.

Specifically, it was the word Yuzhou that made them pay attention.

After all, Lu Chen had previously stayed in Yuzhou for a whole month as the governor of two states, turning the place upside down.

He slaughtered almost everyone from King Yu and dozens of officials in Yuzhou to the wealthy families from all over the place. Then he let his people take over local government affairs without giving the court a chance to intervene, so that there was almost no Lu Chen's territory.

In Yuzhou now, Lu Chen's reputation is probably almost the same as Jiang Chengwan's.

The commander of the Yuzhou Guard was the general who followed Lu Chen's orders and went to the dam to help Xiao Yun quell the flood. If you say that these two people have no intersection, even a dog would not believe it.

In the current court situation, most of the things related to Lu Chen were major events. How could they not care?

While thinking this, many courtiers directly ignored Wang Qian, who was the commander-in-chief of the Qingning Army, and turned their heads to look at Lu Chen, who was also standing in front, wanting to see what his expression was now.

Under the strange gazes of the surrounding courtiers, surprise gradually appeared on Lu Chen's face.

Zhang Shiping?

That horse-selling backstabber was impeached?

Opposing each other with swords?Internal strife?

To be honest, he really didn't expect that Zhang Shiping would actually conflict with other guards of the Qingning Army.

In his eyes, they are both Paoze brothers for many years. Even if there is some conflict, they should not be at odds with each other. Although Zhang Shiping is a little aggressive, he is not the kind of person who ignores the overall situation. Even if Tianlan Province is suppressing the anti-thief It's almost done, and at this juncture, there won't be any trouble.

Why did this happen suddenly?

While Lu Chen was thinking, Jiang Chengwan raised his eyes slightly.

"Is there any evidence?"

"Your Majesty, of course there is."

As he spoke, Yan Guangbi took out a faintly red seal from his arms, and then held it up with both hands.

"This is a document jointly accused by the commanders of the Qingzhou Guard, Xuanzhou Guard, Tianqing Guard, Pingyuan Guard and Cangping Guard of the Qingning Army against the atrocities committed by the Yuzhou Guard. Please read it."

Jiang Chengwan glanced at Wang Qian, who was standing in front of the generals, and his face was quite ugly at this time, and said calmly: "Send it up."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Yan Guangbi handed the seal in his hand to the palace official.

Soon, this letter signed by the five commanders of Qingning Guard was handed over to Jiang Chengwan.

The contents inside, except for the five commander's talismans, all accuse the Yuzhou Guard of how they are arrogant and domineering, relying on their great achievements and not paying attention to other guards, and even not paying attention to national laws and military regulations. .

After a brief glance, Jiang Chengwan put it aside.

"General Wang, do you know about this?"

Wang Qian stood up with a rather ugly expression.

"Your Majesty, I don't know this."

"interesting."

Hearing Wang Qian's answer, Jiang Chengwan immediately narrowed his eyes.

"As the commander-in-chief of the Qingning Army, you are the last to know about the internal affairs of the Qingning Army. It seems that your subordinates, Wang Aiqing, have their own ideas."

Although this was a slight detour, it was no different from directly hitting Wang Qian in the face.

The dignified commander-in-chief of the Qingning Army had such a big conflict among his subordinates. He had no idea that so many guards were targeting the Yuzhou Guard. It is conceivable that the commanders of the guards did not trust him at all and directly passed him and passed his own The background brought the matter to the forefront, making him unable to hold his head high in front of everyone.

Not long ago, he gained great fame because of the Qingning Army's triumph in Tianlan Province, but now...in the blink of an eye, the commanders of the Qingzhou Guard and other guards gave him a big blow with their backhand.

This is a big shame!

Faced with Jiang Chengwan's accusation, Wang Gan knelt down on the ground and said with a solemn expression: "I'm sorry for your lax conduct. Please forgive me!"

"Humph!"

Jiang Chengwan snorted coldly, then looked at Lu Chen habitually, and asked softly: "Lu Qing, what do you think about this matter?"

I really don’t want to see it!

Lu Chen rolled his eyes secretly, but since the emperor's sister asked, he naturally couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb and sit on the sidelines.

"Go back to Your Majesty."

He slowly walked out of the queue, bowed to Jiang Chengwan, and said with a natural expression: "The humble minister does not agree with Yan Yushi's advice. This matter involves conflicts between the Qingning Army's major armies. It is a major military and national matter, so we should be cautious about it." Be careful, don't act hastily, and the Yuzhou Guards have done a great job in suppressing the rebels and have made great achievements in battle, otherwise it will appear that the court is too ruthless."

"Of course, Wei Chen does not doubt the authenticity of this complaint document, but it is just one-sided words from one of the parties. Therefore, Wei Chen proposed that we immediately send people to Tianlan Province to thoroughly investigate the matter and investigate all the details. Make a decision only after understanding the whole story and the ins and outs of the matter.”

Hearing this, Yan Guangbi immediately frowned.

"Master Lu, you mean that the commanders of the five guards jointly accused the Yuzhou Guards, and they are suspected of criticizing their colleagues?"

After saying that, without waiting for Lu Chen to answer, he continued: "This is simply impossible. The Qingning Army is one of the strongest armies in our country besides the Eight Pillar Countries. There are many talents in the army and there are many powerful generals. Most of them are How can a loyal and brave man who serves his country with all his heart do such a villainous thing? Moreover, even if we take a step back, the various military armies are crowding out the Yuzhou Guards, which also shows that there must be something wrong with the Yuzhou Guards. As the saying goes, no fly can bite. If the Yuzhou Guards themselves are fine, why would so many guards commanders unite to target them?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen had no reaction, but Jiang Chengwan suddenly frowned.

Lu Chen, on the other hand, turned his head indifferently, glanced at Yan Guangbi, and said calmly: "I have said that before understanding the ins and outs of the matter, you must not make any hasty judgments on this matter. At least you must know the details of the Yuzhou Guard." Why do we have to use swords against our own people? Are there any conflicts that are difficult to adjust among the various armies of David?"

"Anyway."

Yan Guangbi said coldly: "National law and military law expressly stipulate that it is strictly forbidden to fight with the same roommate. Otherwise, no matter what the reason, the party who instigated the dispute must be executed. Now so many guards commanders have come forward to testify that it was Yuzhou Guard Commander Zhang Shiping who provoked the dispute first." The dispute started..."

Speaking of this, he became more and more impassioned.

Seeing this, Jiang Chengwan's expression suddenly turned cold.

Good one anyway!

What these civil servants like most is to directly refer to national laws and ancestral laws without asking questions. They don't care whether they are applicable or not. As long as they have a slight influence and are conducive to achieving their own goals, they will use them.

She has seen through this before, so naturally she will not fall for this trick.

Then she saw her lips slightly parted, about to speak to shut up Yan Guangbi, and then decided to send someone to Tianlan Province to investigate.

However, before she could say anything, a cold voice directly interrupted Yan Guangbi's passionate narration:

"Can the large number of people be used as a basis for judging one thing?"

But it was Xiao Yun who was at the forefront of the civil servants who stood up.

At this time, she was uncharacteristically different. Her face did not have the gentleness of the past, but instead, it was so sharp that it made people feel an inexplicable chill.

Jiang Chengwan couldn't help but be startled when he saw Xiao Yun making a rare appearance and showing off her attitude as a bachelor of Lingyung Pavilion.

You must know that since Xiao Yun was promoted to bachelor of Lingyung Pavilion, she rarely expressed her position on matters unrelated to the Ministry of Etiquette. Even if the court was noisy, she would not say a word.

Zhang Shiping's matter basically has nothing to do with the Ministry of Rites. Logically speaking, she should remain silent as before, but now, she is obviously speaking for Lu Chen...

After a moment, Jiang Chengwan suddenly turned his head and took a deep look at Lu Chen.
