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

Shaking his head, Lu Chen said bluntly: "Executive member Li, since your business can be so big, it means you are a smart person. Since you are a smart person, don't say such words that would make a child laugh out loud. Although I am not shrewd, I am not a fool who cannot distinguish between right and wrong. Moreover, I believe that I have no grievances with Mr. Li. The last time we broke off the engagement, we have cleared up all the grudges. Why would Mr. Li use these words to insult my intelligence today? ?”

Having said this, Lu Chen turned around again and walked inside.

Luo Xiaoyu on the side was about to close the door to keep these two shameless beasts out so as not to pollute their yard.

As Lu Chen walked away, he solemnly said: "Go back, Mr. Li. I have no connection with the daughter of your family, and I can't even compete with your Li family. Don't talk more about getting married. Today, I will be Mr. Li's servant." In the future, I will never cause trouble to your Li family."

"I've already made it very clear. If Mr. Li continues to pester me, I won't blame you for being rude!"

In the last sentence, Lu Chen emphasized his tone even more.

When Mr. Li heard this, his body suddenly shook and he was speechless.

At this moment, he finally realized that the young man in front of him, who in his eyes was stupid at reading and had a weak brain, was not as easy to play with as he imagined.

When Li Baojin next to him saw that he was silent and Lu Chen left resolutely, while Luo Xiaoyu, the "poor relative" whom she had always looked down on, was holding the door open again, she suddenly became furious and shouted to Lu Chen loudly:

"Lu Lang, are you really so cruel? Are you going to be that heartless and heartless man?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Chen felt that all his views were shattered.

The corners of his eyes kept twitching.

What?Am I cruel?Am I unkind?Still betraying your heart?

Sister, can you be reasonable?

It was your father who came here to regret the marriage, and you didn't even show up during the whole process. For such a long time, you told me that you didn't know anything about it?

Who is so heartless?

And I haven’t even touched your finger in my predecessor, so why do you still betray me?

You guys are so proficient at raking and raking...

As expected, it is not a family that refuses to enter the same house. You are worthy of being a father and daughter. In terms of being thick-skinned, I, Lu Chen, would like to call you the strongest!

Shaking his head, Lu Chen said without looking back: "Miss Li, please respect yourself. I and Miss Li are innocent and have never had any physical contact. Moreover, your father, Mr. Li, took the initiative to come to your home to terminate the engagement. I don't think so." This incident shows that I have failed in my moral conduct."

"As the saying goes, sharing joys and sorrows together, since the Li family abandoned them like worn-out shoes when they were in trouble, why do they need to show off here now? It's just annoying."

After the words fell, Lu Chen didn't stop anymore.

The door of the small courtyard was also closed by Luo Xiaoyu with a "snap", leaving the father and daughter standing outside with bewildered faces, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Chapter 34 Gu Simiao

"Is there such a shameless person in the world?"

Ziji City, Zichen Palace.

The empress frowned slightly and looked at Fang Yu, who was half-kneeling on the ground in front of her, reporting to her what happened in the Lu family courtyard today, with a look of disgust on her face.

"When Huaiyu's future was in doubt, he resolutely regretted his marriage. Now that Huaiyu has a promising future, he shamelessly comes to the door and begs for remarriage. He can even do such a thing. It turns out that businessmen are all shameless people."

Jiang Chengdao on the side shrugged.

"Businessmen, this has been the case since ancient times. There's nothing strange about it."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and asked Fang Yu to go back. Then he pointed at the official documents piled up into a small mountain on the empress's desk, and said slowly:

"Rather than trivial matters like that, Your Majesty, you should focus on the urgent official duties in front of you."

After a moment of pause, he continued:

"All the gang members of the Queen Mother's family have been verified. Now the rebels in Beijing and central China have almost been cleared out. Arrest orders have been issued for all the remnant gangs in various places. It is estimated that they will be escorted to Beijing one after another in the next few days."

After hearing this, the empress opened an official document absently for some reason, and at the same time responded casually:

"There is no need to worry about civil servants, otherwise the past dynasties would not have given civil servants such a high status. The focus is on the military attachés. The Queen Mother has been in chaos for six years, but she can steadily control the world. It must be inseparable from the support of the military attachés. The three major The Battalion and the Custodes are prime examples.”

The Forbidden Army is the emperor's personal army, responsible for guarding the Sili and stabilizing the world. Logically speaking, it should be the emperor's greatest support.

But in Shenghe Dynasty it was completely the opposite.

The middle and high-level generals of the Forbidden Army were all controlled by the Queen Mother, making the entire 80 soldiers and horses of the Forbidden Army completely reduced to the Queen Mother's minions. Even though the Queen Mother had been characterized as a demon queen who was controlled by evil spirits and controlled Chao Gang, they still spared no effort to support the Queen Mother's counterattack against Luo Jing. There was no regard for the life and death of her emperor.

Although the Queen Mother has average ability to govern, she has an extraordinary talent for power struggles and understands the importance of the military better than anyone else.

Therefore, in addition to the Forbidden Army, there must be many followers of the Queen Mother in other armies.

In this regard, the empress is not too worried about the chaos in the world.

After all, she controls the most powerful saint's power in the world. No matter how powerful the army is, it cannot be an opponent of the Cangming Army led by Jiang Chengdao.

Although the empress could only ensure absolute rule in the Sili area due to distance limitations and the Holy King's own responsibilities, it was enough for her.

As long as we are in an invincible position, we are not afraid of anyone making trouble.

What's more, justice is still in her hands.

After all, there are only a few people who dare to rebel. Only the most evil people and the remnant party who are very close to the Queen Mother will go to extremes when there is no way out.

They are also the hidden dangers that the Empress is most urgent to solve now.

Jiang Chengdao responded: "The edict of the Xinyuan Grand Ceremony has been sent out. Anyone who does not remove his armor and enter the capital or does not send his legitimate son to the capital to pay homage and cannot provide a legitimate reason can be regarded as a traitor."

"Ah."

The empress nodded slightly, then turned her head inexplicably and looked to the northwest of the map of the world hanging on the wall not far away, with a look of solemnity gradually showing on her face.

Jiang Chengdao also looked over, and then said in a deep voice, as if he had read through the empress's mind:

"The biggest problem now is undoubtedly the general of Zhuguo who guards Motian City. He comes from a family of generals. At the age of only 23, he commanded 70 Cang Ling troops and defeated the aliens of Cangwu Icefield to the point where they couldn't hold their heads up. In just a short time A peerless man who has made great achievements for the imperial court in just two years, a famous general in the world - Gu Simiao."

Hearing this name, the empress finally calmed down completely.

"The youngest general of the Zhu Kingdom in the history of Daxia...?"

Jiang Chengdao nodded slightly: "The most important thing is that she is also the fiancée of Zhao Feifan, the younger generation leader of the Zhao family whom Queen Mother Zhao trusts most."

"When the rebels were defeated, Empress Dowager Zhao and Xia Houyan led the remnants of their army to flee to the northwest. Presumably, they were looking for her good niece-in-law, hoping to make a comeback with the help of the Cang Ling Army and compete with His Majesty for the world."

Hearing this, the empress suddenly became nervous.

"Will the 70 border troops also defect like the Forbidden Army?"

"Who knows?"

Jiang Chengdao shrugged.

"Although the Eight Pillar Kingdoms have always guarded the border and have not been involved in the court, if there is a shocking incident in the court, that is another matter. In any case, we must be cautious in everything and be prepared for the worst at any time."

The empress lowered her eyes.

"Is there any news over there?"

"No."

Jiang Chengdao said calmly: "There is no response even to the edict sent before. In this case, no news is the worst news."

As he finished speaking, a gust of breeze blew in through the window sill, and the candlelight in the candlestick swayed, making the empress's little face appear to flicker in the swaying candlelight.

After a while, she quietly clenched her fists.

"It seems that we need to prepare early."

Jiang Chengdao took out an official document from his arms at the right time and handed it to the empress.

"Ten days ago, there were frequent changes in the Nanpi Gu family, and there were also suspicious signs among the children serving in the military. At this juncture, it always feels a bit subtle."

Hearing this, the empress' eyes suddenly turned cold.

…………

Naturally, Lu Chen didn't know about the affairs in the palace.

Early the next morning, he went to Liu Ke Gallery to check in for work as always.

After all, the character has been established. If it goes against the character too much, who knows if he will be invited to tea by Zhu Xie Division.

There is no big court meeting today, so there is no need to go to the Tai Chi Hall. Just slowly figure out how to use your authority to cause trouble for yourself in the Liu Ke Gallery.

However, as soon as he sat down and his buttocks were still warm, he saw a young eunuch coming over with a lot of difficulty holding a lot of official documents.

Seeing the pile of official documents, Lu Chen had an inexplicable premonition.

"Master Lu, I would like to greet you~"

While greeting Lu Chen with a flattering look on his face, he carefully placed the official document on the desk in front of Lu Chen.

Lu Chen looked at him with a black question mark on his face: "Father-in-law, what are you..."

"Ouch!"

Hearing that Lu Chen actually addressed himself with the honorific title, the eunuch exclaimed in flattery, and then hurriedly said: "I am just an ordinary servant, but I cannot be called 'father-in-law' by Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu, please call me 'Xiao Li'" ', it is a great honor for me, my slave~"

Lu Chen: "..."

He had forgotten that although this world was similar to the ancient society before time travel, there were still many differences.

Although there are relatively few female emperors here, they are not unacceptable. Therefore, the status of women in this world is not as low as in the feudal society of his previous life. There are many women who can get ahead in officialdom and business.

In the palace, because the emperor was not necessarily a man, in order to prevent the palace people from being obscene, both the eunuchs and the maids were eunuchs who were infertile.

Among eunuchs, only eunuchs with higher positions of power, such as eunuchs holding the seal, are qualified to be called father-in-law.

His "father-in-law" was indeed a bit embarrassing.

Shaking his head, Lu Chen was about to ask again when the eunuch who called himself Xiao Li hurriedly said: "Master Lu, these are the official affairs that your Majesty handled last night, and most of them are related to the Ministry of Personnel. Your Majesty has something to say, Master Lu. He is outstanding in talent and learning and can be called an unparalleled scholar in this dynasty. Sooner or later he will be in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, so he should familiarize himself with the government affairs of the Ministry of Personnel as soon as possible and make preparations in advance so that he can relieve His Majesty's worries as soon as possible."

After a pause and taking a breath, Xiao Li immediately added: "And His Majesty said that these official documents need to be approved by Mr. Lu before they can take effect, otherwise they will be rejected and redone."

Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

What the hell?

Do official documents from the Ministry of Civil Affairs need to be approved by my engineering department before they can take effect?

So what does Li Ke do in Shizhong?

He is doing his job well and conscientiously, and he has not provoked anyone. Why do you want to target him like this?

Pooh!Foolish king!
