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

But the empress leaned back a little, leaning her jade back against the armrest of the dragon chair. At the same time, she stretched out her right hand, rested her elbow on the armrest, and supported her cheek with the back of her hand, looking very relaxed.

After a while, she slowly spoke under the eyes of everyone with different expressions.

"Precise play."

There was no angry reprimand, no questioning, not a word of rebuttal, not even a bit of bargaining.

He agreed so simply and neatly.

Just like Lu Chen did before when he asked for a retrial of Xia Yan's case, he didn't hesitate at all.

The empress's no-nonsense response instantly made all the courtiers below widen their eyes with surprise on their faces.

They knew that the empress trusted Lu Chen, but they never expected that she would trust him to such an extent.

At this moment, they completely refreshed the empress's understanding of Lu Chen's attitude.

Qian Yiqian and Zheng Zhong looked as if they had eaten shit and were extremely uncomfortable.

Damn it, no matter how favored you are, there must be a limit, right?

Is Your Majesty planning to summon Lu Chen to the palace to become emperor in the future?

Chapter 68 Shameless Special

After hearing Jiang Chengwan's unhesitating answer, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his eyes suddenly twitched.

no...

Your Majesty, I want to touch your imperial mausoleum and reduce your expenses!

Can you bear this?

How can you bear it?

You are the supreme emperor!In a small favor, I dare to care about your imperial mausoleum, and take money from your internal funds, causing your daily life to plummet, and even affecting your cultivation. Such reckless practices , how can you endure it?

Don’t you have any temper at all?Where was your domineering and ruthless attitude when you undoubtedly killed the Queen Mother's followers in batches and made the Luojing execution ground a river of blood?

Where is your Emperor’s Holy Qi?

Even if you are Mingjun, a major project involving posthumous matters such as the Imperial Mausoleum, and if it is stopped and started for a year, will definitely have an impact on the overall Xunxian Formation, no matter what, you should not agree so simply and decisively, right?

Don’t you care about your immortality after your death?

You don’t even have any opinions at all. Is your temper a little too good?

"what happened?"

Seeing that Lu Chen didn't respond for a while, Jiang Chengwan asked softly, "Does Lu Qing have anything else to report?"

There was no trace of impatience in his voice, nor could he feel the slightest bit of anger.

Like a breeze blowing on your face, soft and gentle.

It was as if she was not the hero who had killed all the Queen Mother's family before, and looked so decisive in killing.

In fact, if someone else made this suggestion, even if it was right, she would not look good.

That is Lu Chen.

If it were Xiao Yun who was raising this matter, it would be a question of whether he could pass it, not to mention his current extremely peaceful attitude.

Hearing the empress' words, Lu Chen suddenly came back to his senses.

At this moment, he was almost completely desperate.

Even the matter of the imperial mausoleum was stopped immediately, and it also included several other matters that touched Ni Lian. As a result, the empress agreed so readily without any hesitation.

He has rubbed against the bottom line of most kings, but the empress still looks calm and indifferent, not caring at all. So what else can arouse his disgust?

The empress' trust in him has reached an almost unshakable level!

Therefore, it is basically impossible to expect her to hate herself and then remove him from office. She can only take another path.

As soon as he thought about this, Lu Chen had something to worry about in his heart.

He slowly raised his head, first shouted "Your Majesty is wise", and then raised his hands again and said: "Your Majesty, water control requires not only enough money and spiritual stone materials, but if the water aura in the upper reaches of the Qingjiang River is too strong and the water conditions are too serious, in order to Just in case, enough manpower is needed to dig ditches for flood discharge."

Hearing this, Jiang Chengwan nodded without hesitation.

"In that case, we will exempt the two states from taxes for another year, and then collect local labor. If it is not enough, we will impose additional labor in Hanzhou and Hepingzhou."

After Jiang Chengwan finished speaking, the courtiers below immediately raised their hands and saluted.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Your Majesty is kind and virtuous, I admire you!"

"..."

Obviously, the empress's natural approach was unanimously recognized by many courtiers.

However, the moment everyone finished speaking, a discordant voice suddenly sounded: "Your Majesty, no!"

Hearing this, Jiang Chengwan was suddenly startled.

The expressions of the courtiers below were slightly stagnant, and they looked at the person who spoke in surprise.

"Lu Qing thinks this is inappropriate?"

The one who spoke to stop it was naturally Lu Chen, who proposed to open a canal to discharge the flood.

He said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, I believe that conscription of labor is absolutely not feasible!"

Hearing this, Jiang Chengwan did not ask Lu Chen what was wrong with his decision just now, but directly asked: "What do Lu Qing think about this matter?"

He didn't even have the slightest intention of letting Lu Chen explain.

Realizing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, feeling powerless again deep in his heart.

The other courtiers were also speechless for a while.

Your Majesty, Lu Chen has already directly rejected your claim. How come you didn't even ask, but just asked this guy for his opinion? And when it comes to us, why do you have to ask everything to the end no matter what? , will never give up until a clear explanation is given, and even have to reprimand him?

Isn't this too biased? !

Shaking his head, Lu Chen didn't think any more.

Since the empress didn't ask, he didn't bother to explain. Anyway, no matter what he said, the empress' attitude towards him would not change.

If that's the case, then why waste all your efforts?

So he directly handed over his hand and said: "Wei Chen believes that both in terms of efficiency and rationality, the manpower required to dig canals and discharge floods should be provided by the local county officials and the Yuzhou Guards and Suizhou Guards stationed there, instead of the two. The people of the state have become increasingly miserable during the six years of the Demon Queen's chaotic rule."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was immediately shocked.

Xiao Yun finally knew what the method Lu Chen said just now was.

She never expected that Lu Chen would target the local garrison and government.

Not only did she not expect it, but the military attaché standing on the right side of the Tai Chi Hall also did not expect it.

"what?!"

One of the tall, middle-aged men with beards immediately shouted loudly and loudly: "Let my son do the coolie work that only ignorant Guizhou leaders do? How is this possible? Absolutely not!" !!”

This person is the commander-in-chief of the Qingning Army belonging to the Yuzhou Guard and Suizhou Guard. Wang Qian, named Tongxuan, is a strong man in the Dongxu Realm, second only to the Eight Pillar Generals and the Four Saint Kings who have the strength of the Guiyi Realm. top martial arts.

Hearing that Lu Chen actually had his mind set on the soldiers under his command, he subconsciously rejected it.

In anger, there was a contempt for the people in his words.

"Ignorant Guizhou head?"

Seeing someone actually standing up with a dissatisfied look on his face, Lu Chen was overjoyed, but his face was full of sneers.

"General Wang, do you know that it is precisely the ignorant Guizhou leader you are talking about that the thousands of people who work from sunrise to sunset hand over the food they grow to the imperial court without delay?" We have money and food to support you, train the soldiers, and make achievements, so you are where you are today. As the saying goes, don’t forget the man who dug the well when you drink water. You have made great achievements and are in high positions, but you despise the people so much. Isn’t this ungrateful?”

At this point, he shouted loudly: "How can such an ungrateful person like you live in a temple and be respected by all people?"

"you!"

Seeing Lu Chen, a seventh-grade official in a green robe, scolding him so arrogantly, Wang Qian's eyes widened in anger.

"What are you? Isn't what I said wrong?"

Lu Chen shouted angrily again: "If you have any conscience and any sense of shame, you should take off this official uniform made of people's fat and anointing as soon as possible, draw your sword and commit suicide to repay the people's kindness!"

"What? You actually said that I have no shame?" Wang Qian couldn't bear it any longer and said angrily: "You're such a dirty kid, say it again if you dare!"

"So what if I say it a hundred times?"

Lu Chen looked cold and disdainful: "The people support the imperial court, and the imperial court supports you and others. Tracing back to the source, the common people have great kindness to you and others. Now the people of the two states are facing the threat of floods, but because of the demon queen's chaos, every household has been destroyed." There is no food left, and they are hungry and weak. Even if they want to help the government control the floods, they are unable to do so. Forcibly recruiting corvees is simply asking them to use their lives to fill the floods!"

"And you enjoy the money and food paid by the people, and you are all strong and strong, and one is worth ten, but as the chief officer, you are arrogant, holding on to your merits and refusing to do practical things for the people. Isn't this shameless? "

Having said this, he suddenly stretched out his hand, pointed at Wang Qian and shouted angrily:

"Although the temple is big, there is no place for such an ungrateful and shameless person to stand up!"

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

I will publish two chapters first, but there are some problems with the later chapters, and I am currently revising them.

Chapter 69 The Prestige of the Holy King (Please read more!!!)

Being scolded and scolded mercilessly by Lu Chen, a child with a yellow mouth, Wang Qian suddenly became furious, and his face was so gloomy that it almost dripped with water.

"You dare to humiliate me like this!"

He shouted angrily, and a powerful aura suddenly emitted from his body.

The powerful force instantly distorted the surrounding air, and then the distortion began to spread rapidly to Lu Chen's location, and in an instant he was in front of Lu Chen.

Seeing that Lu Chen was about to be enveloped by Wang Qian's momentum.

And at this moment-

"Humph!"

A cold snort with murderous intent suddenly sounded from the dragon chair.

The next second, the distortion that spread to Lu Chen suddenly stopped without warning, and then quickly returned to normal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
