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

I don't know what the empress was thinking, leaving the Holy King Cangming aside, who was supposed to be her lover, but she treated him like a troll who only knew how to talk.

Isn't she afraid that Holy King Cangming will be jealous and dissatisfied, and even turn his back and seize power to force her to submit?

Lu Chen didn't believe that Saint King Cangming came all the way here because he simply wanted to support the empress in ascending the throne and had no other ideas at all.

Saint King Cangming is not the empress' biological father, how could he be so selfless?

What's more, the empress is still a super beauty, but at the age of 16, she has already shown some unparalleled charm. Coupled with the unparalleled majesty of the supreme king who controls the world, she will definitely become a top stunner that can drive countless men crazy in the future. .

Just now it's already quite overwhelming.

If the immortal way were not right in front of him, even if he was as determined as he was, he would have to bow down under the empress's scarlet jade dragon robe. How could Saint King Cangming not be moved?

Of course, it is also possible that the Empress and Holy King Cangming have already formed a Taoist couple, but they have not made it public.

After all, there are rumors that Holy King Cangming often stays in Zichen Palace until midnight before leaving, saying that he is assisting the empress in handling government affairs, but who knows the truth?

This is also the thinking of quite a few people.

After all, Lu Chen was just a time traveler, not an omniscient person. Naturally, he didn't know that although Holy King Cangming was not the empress's biological father, he was closer than her biological father and had been protecting her brother since she was a child.

But no matter what, if Lu Chen wanted to be dismissed from office, he would have to avoid the empress.

And in this world of personal supremacy, the empress who can understand the truth from "the people are more valuable than the king" must be a wise king.

Therefore, if he does not change his mind in time and still thinks of offending the emperor simply by being a troll, he will never expect to achieve the system conditions and become an immortal on the spot.

After sorting out the current situation, Lu Chen began to think about possible strategies.

"Since the emperor is unwilling to depose me, then find a way to make her have to compromise, find a way that not only complies with the rules of the system, but also forces her to have to depose me..."

Realizing this, he quickly thought along this line of thinking.About a quarter of an hour later, his eyes suddenly lit up and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.Apparently he had thought of something.

"In other words, although the Daxia Empire is different from the countries in ancient Chinese society, it is still essentially a feudal dynasty, and since it is a feudal dynasty, there must be some universal laws."

Thinking of this, he suddenly relaxed and stretched his body, lying on his side on the couch, his eyes narrowed inexplicably.

"For example, the dynasty periodic law..."

Although Lu Chen considers himself to be of average political ability, he still knows some historical laws.

The ancient feudal dynasties in his original world basically could not escape the 300-year dynasty cycle rate of chaos and change, and the manifestations of each feudal dynasty were generally similar.

Of course, there are supernatural powers in this world, and there are special beings such as monks, evil spirits, monsters, and half-demon. The rules of dynasty change are much more complicated than those of ancient feudal dynasties where supernatural powers did not exist.

But in essence, the two still have many things in common.

"The Great Xia Empire has lasted for thousands of years, and it must have accumulated many shortcomings."

As soon as he thought about this, Lu Chen laughed completely, very happily.

"For the future of Daxia, for the stability of hundreds of millions of people, as a man with lofty ideals who takes the world as his own responsibility and has the great ambition to govern the country and stabilize the people, I plan for Daxia and work hard to pursue the way to enrich the country and strengthen the people, at all costs. Isn’t it reasonable to eradicate long-standing abuses?”

Chapter 62 Gu Yanming

Northern Hebei Province, Nanpi.

Dingyuanhoufu.

"Get out of my way, madam!"

A sharp shout broke the calm in front of the Hou Mansion.

I saw a middle-aged woman in luxurious clothes with angry eyes, pointing at a group of soldiers in black armor not far away who were blocking the door, and shouted angrily: "This is the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, not you guys who are arrogant and unreasonable." This is where Qiu Ba goes wild! Besides, my daughter is a very powerful martial artist, and she can wipe you all out with just a few clicks!"

"Get out of the Hou Mansion if you don't want to die, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"

As she spoke, the skirt on her body began to move automatically without any wind, and wisps of spiritual power quickly emerged.

In this regard, there was no trace of panic on the faces of the soldiers, and their expressions were expressionless.

Apparently he didn't care at all about the woman's threat.

Seeing that even if her daughter's name was mentioned, she still couldn't scare the black-armored soldier in front of her, a flash of panic suddenly flashed in the woman's eyes.

And at this moment-

Swish!

A huge force suddenly fell from the sky, instantly shattering the meager spiritual power she had condensed, leaving nothing behind.

"Mrs. Hou, please don't embarrass me."

Zhu Yong, wearing a special heavy armor made by a Xuanwu Guard general, slowly appeared at the door of the Hou Mansion, and glanced at the woman sternly from behind, looking contemptuously at the distinguished contemporary hostess of the Dingyuan Hou Mansion, Mrs. Zhao. said:

"His Royal Highness the Holy King told me that the Gu family is one of the only remaining hereditary marquises since the founding of the Great Xia Kingdom. They have lived with the country for generations and are extremely honorable. Their eldest daughter Gu Simiao is one of the eight pillars of the country. In the past two years when Daxia guarded Huangzhou, he repeatedly inflicted heavy losses on the Turkic foreign tribes, making them afraid to step into Huangzhou, and won at least ten years of peace for the people of Huangzhou and the people of nearby counties and counties. It can be said that he has made great military achievements and made great contributions to the court."

"Now that the Xinyuan Grand Ceremony is approaching, as a token of respect and gratitude, His Majesty has specially issued an order to order the entire family of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion to go to Luojing to attend the grand ceremony to show his favor."

Having said this, he suddenly took a step forward, and the power from his body suddenly poured out. In an instant, Zhao, who was just a cyclone realm monk, turned pale and could not move.

"This is Your Majesty's supreme kindness. Therefore, no one in the Dingyuan Hou Mansion is allowed to be absent no matter what the reason is. I also ask Madam Hou not to be ignorant of the compliments and make His Majesty unhappy, which will cause great trouble to the Hou Mansion. "

After saying that, without waiting for Zhao's reply, Zhu Yong snorted coldly, turned around and left the gate of the Hou Mansion.

But he did not go far. Instead, he walked to a tea shop opposite the door and drank tea leisurely.

Mrs. Zhao got up from the ground with a look of embarrassment, then glared at the Xuanwu guard who was motionless at the door, and hurried towards the inner hall.

As soon as I walked into the hall, I saw my husband, the contemporary Marquis of Dingyuan, Gu Yanming, sitting on the main seat and sipping tea leisurely. There was no sense of nervousness about impending disaster on his face, as if all the major events that had happened in the Marquis's mansion recently were gone. It has nothing to do with him.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhao suddenly became very angry.

"Drink, drink, drink, you know how to drink! Why don't I drink you to death!"

She walked up to Gu Yanming in three steps and then picked up the tea set on the table and threw it to the ground.

Bang!

The tea set worth hundreds of dollars was instantly smashed to pieces.

"The sky is falling, but you still have the heart to enjoy tea?! Why did I marry a useless man like you in the first place!"

After the tea set was smashed, Gu Yanming raised his head slightly and glanced at her expressionlessly, his eyes not wavering at all, as if the person in front of him was not his married wife who had been sleeping with him for many years, but an unrelated stranger. .

“Everything has its destiny and cannot be done by humans.”

Gu Yanming supported his chin with one hand and said calmly: "In that case, why not accept it calmly and enjoy the glory of the past before the last moment comes."

Hearing these words of resignation, Zhao was so angry that she couldn't speak. She pointed at Gu Yanming and kept saying "you, you, you".

After a while, she felt a little better.

"Gu Yanming!"

She roared violently.

"Are you still a man? If you hadn't been hesitant and hesitant before, and didn't take us to Huangzhou to join Miao'er earlier, how could our Marquis Mansion be in such a situation? Now that things have happened, the Gu family is about to be in catastrophe. How could you be so indifferent? Do you want to watch us being escorted to the execution ground, with everyone in the entire Marquis Mansion dismembered?"

"Ah......"

Gu Yanming sneered inexplicably.

"If you hadn't ignored my husband's dissuasion and insisted on currying favor with the Demon Queen, you would have gone to great lengths to arrange a meeting between Miao'er and Zhao Feifan. After Zhao Feifan fell in love with Miao'er at first sight, you would have forced Miao'er to marry him. The engagement made the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion inexplicably become the in-laws of the Demon Queen, so how could there be such a disaster today?"

Hearing this, Zhao's voice suddenly became softer, but she still said fiercely:

"How can you blame me? Didn't I do this for the sake of Miao'er's future? How many people in the world can be worthy of a martial arts genius like Miao'er? And that Zhao Feifan is not only talented, but also good at both civil and military skills. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, discussing Taoism and state affairs, and military strategies. Miaoer will not feel wronged at all by marrying him, and she will definitely be happy after marriage. Can I, a mother, still harm her?"

"And at that time, the Zhao family was at its peak. The marriage between the Gu family and the Zhao family would bring many benefits, and it would be of great benefit to the Gu family..."

Speaking of this, a hint of guilt suddenly flashed in her eyes, and her voice became softer.

"It will be of great benefit to your mother's family."

However, Gu Yanming exposed her lie mercilessly.

"In the past two years, many members of your natal family have received Zhao Feifan's care and have entered important positions in the court and the army. The family has grown a lot and has even become a second-rate family. I have seen all this. Here, I'm just too lazy to argue with you. Now that His Majesty has taken charge of the government, he will kill all these evil party members. Isn't this the result of the evil you planted?"

Hearing this, Ms. Zhao couldn't help but turn pale, and her aura disappeared almost instantly.

She opened her mouth to say something, but Gu Yanming didn't give her another chance to speak. He shook his head and interrupted:

"Forget it, this kind of thing is fine no matter what. Anyway, I never thought about the benefits of Cholera Chaosuna and others. Since you want those so-called benefits, I will give them all to you. It can be considered that we have done our best as a couple. A love affair.”

As he spoke, he suddenly stood up, then walked slowly towards the back hall with his hands behind his back.

"Don't think that I will use the secret formation of the Hou Mansion to send a message to Miao'er. I am not you, and I am not as powerful as you. Now that Miao'er is an adult, as a father, I will only help her when she needs it. I won't cause any trouble to her no matter what, and I won't interfere in her life for your own selfish desires like you."

After a pause, a look of determination suddenly flashed in Gu Yanming's eyes.

"So, no matter what decision she makes this time, whether it's working for the Demon Queen or being independent, I won't blame her."

As the words fell, Gu Yanming's figure gradually disappeared at the entrance of the corridor, without any hesitation in his steps.

Looking at his retreating back, Ms. Zhao's face suddenly turned pale, and her eyes were filled with deep despair.

Chapter 63

After having an idea, Lu Chen suddenly felt very good.

When I went to go to court the next day, I felt windy as I walked.

"The next step is to find out the shortcomings that Daxia has accumulated over thousands of years, and we have to find a good entry point to avoid system restrictions."

As he walked along Zhuque Street towards Ziji City, Lu Chen's mind was racing.

"The clans and aristocratic families that monopolize talents, the increasingly serious contradiction between man and land, the vested interests of ancestral systems such as maritime bans, the gap in the national treasury caused by the royal family's pig-raising policy, the monopoly of officialdom but the sage's way is not suitable for governing the country, The system of non-payment of taxes by cultivators... there are a lot of them if you just look for it. It is a miracle that Daxia can continue to this day. It is probably only in this world where there are holy relics and various supernatural powers. Will such a miracle happen..."

"Judging from the empress' trust in me now, she will definitely protect me no matter what happens. But if I touch the interests of those behemoths and they join forces to put pressure on the empress, even if the empress wants to protect me, she will There is no guarantee that in order to take care of the overall situation, she will definitely follow the general trend and get rid of me. Even if she does not kill me because of her previous friendship, she will definitely remove me from the court to appease the public and maintain the stability of the country."

"Of course, those ruthless characters who eat people without spitting out their bones will definitely find ways to target me crazily. In order to protect their interests, they may even assassinate me secretly. After all, blocking someone's financial path is like killing their parents. It is impossible for these vested interests to let me go. And as long as they succeed, I will be judged by the system as having died in the line of duty."

"Whether one is dismissed from office or dies in the line of duty, both meet the conditions for immortality. Being dismissed from office is naturally the best, but dying in the line of duty is not unacceptable. Although the process may be a bit painful, as long as the goal can be achieved."
