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

"Lu Qing's words make sense."

Jiang Chengwan's voice sounded in the hall again.

"And since Lu Qing said this, he must have a candidate in mind, so I would like to ask Lu Qing to speak."

Upon hearing this, all the courtiers immediately tightened their expressions.

But don’t be me!

You must know that a considerable part of the upper reaches of the Qingjiang River is filled with extremely rich spiritual energy, so the weather there is always changing.

One moment it was a cloudless sunny day, the next moment there might be dark clouds, and in the blink of an eye there would be thunder and rain pouring down, and it might last for a month at a time.

Then came the scorching sun that lasted for half a month, directly drying up all the rain that had fallen before, turning a large area into a big steamer like a scorching hell.

Whoever wants to go to this kind of ghost place, they will definitely not go anyway.

And he also has to deal with those vulgar Qiu Ba...

Wouldn’t it be nice to stay in Luojing and relax, sip tea and practice Taoism?

However, they thought too much.

Lu Chen had no intention of giving up this opportunity to others, which had a great chance of attracting the hatred of the military commanders and making the wealthy families dissatisfied with him.

"Go back to Your Majesty."

He cupped his hands towards the empress, and then said with a serious face: "Weichen does have someone in mind, but this person is not someone else, but Weichen himself."

"Ok?"

Jiang Chengwan was stunned.

"Do you want to go to the upper reaches of Qingjiang River with Xiao Aiqing to quell the flood?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Lu Chen nodded without hesitation, and then went on to tell the reason for his request: "Wei Chen has often worked with Xiao Shangshu since he became an official and took up the post of Minister of Engineering. We have a tacit understanding with each other, and Wei Chen I always handle official business and will never bend the law for any reason, and I will not let any trivial matters bother Shangshu Xiao, so that Shangshu Xiao can concentrate all his energy on calming down the flood."

Having said this, he bowed again and said with a very serious expression:

"I hope your Majesty will give me permission."

After receiving the confirmation, Jiang Chengwan immediately frowned.

This time, she did not follow Lu Chen's playing as neatly as she did several times before. Instead, she frowned and said:

"Lu Qing, as far as I know, the weather in the upper reaches of the Qingjiang River is bad and the yin and yang are unpredictable. It is very difficult to adapt to it. Although you are talented and knowledgeable, Lu Qing, your cultivation is still shallow and you lack the experience to deal with such situations. This matter is also It doesn’t have to be done by you, there are many capable ministers in the court, I think it’s more appropriate to let them do it.”

As soon as the empress finished speaking, some of the courtiers wanted to cry.

Your Majesty, is this not what you usually say?

Is it only at this time that we will be worthy ministers in your eyes?

Moreover, you agreed so readily to Lu Chen's memorial before. Why were you so hesitant when it came time to really need Lu Chen to take risks for the country?

He, Lu Chen, couldn't adapt to the environment of that hellish place. Could it be that others could adapt?

It would be dangerous for him to go, so would it be safe for others to go?

Who doesn’t have two eyes and one mouth?

Whoever proposes it should be allowed to go? !

However, Lu Chen did not appreciate the empress's kind reminder at all.

"As an official, how can you cherish your life when you are facing a heavy responsibility?"

He clenched the wat board in his hand and said firmly: "I am a humble minister but I am favored by His Majesty. It has been more than two months since I took up the post of Shizhong in the Engineering Department. However, I have not made any achievements in my responsibilities and have not made any merit. Now, now It is the time for me to repay His Majesty's kindness in knowing you, to repay the kindness of the people to support me, and to do my little bit for Daxia. How can I miss it?"

Having said this, he suddenly bowed to the empress, and then solemnly said: "I am not a mediocre person, but I also have an ambition to serve the people. I hope your majesty will fulfill it!"

After hearing this and feeling the determination in Lu Chen's words, the empress was finally moved.

She knew that Lu Chen had already made up his mind, and if she was forcibly blocked, it would probably make him very sad.

So after a little hesitation, she finally stood up from the dragon chair and waved her hand.

Ah ah ah ah ah! !Kavin!My brain is going to explode! ! !

Fight! !

I stayed up late tonight to catch up on the manuscript, and I have to pay off the previous debt no matter what! ! !

Chapter 71 The Sword of the Extreme Path

Swish!

Where the empress' jade hand passed, the space suddenly became violently distorted, and a space crack several feet wide instantly formed.

Immediately afterwards, with a rather dazzling golden light flashing through, a golden long sword wrapped in a golden stream of light suddenly emerged from the crack in space, continuously emitting bursts of inexplicable impulses that made people worship.

Seeing this scene, all the courtiers, including the elder who stood at the front of the group, as well as second-rank senior officials such as Fang Ping, Xiao Yun, Qian Yiqian, and Wang Qian from the military attache system, could not help but stare. Eye.

"The ancient path is impermanent, the imperial path is disordered, the immortal path has no end, and the great road has no limit..."

"The sword of the extreme... Could it be..."

"Your Majesty is going to..."

Even Lu Chen himself was stunned when he saw the long sword filled with light.

What the hell? !

Isn't this the supreme holy sword that only the Human Emperor and the Mingjun Holy Emperor are qualified to control?

Why is the empress bringing this thing out now?

Please don't scare me, okay?

Looking at the golden sword with golden light flowing in front of the empress, Lu Chen couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in his heart.

The next second, as if to confirm his guess.

"Purpose!"

The empress looked solemn, and at the same time stretched out her hand, gently holding the sword of the extreme in her hand, and then silently injected the majestic spiritual power in her body into it, activating the automatic master-protecting technique in the sword body.

And, a precious technique that a king can only use once - Thousand Miles Summoning.

Then, she stepped lightly, walked down the steps slowly, and walked towards Lu Chen step by step.

As he walked, he looked at Lu Chen and said slowly: "Nowadays, the floods in the Yu and Sui states are becoming more and more serious. The people along the river are in urgent need of disaster. We need capable ministers to go to the upper reaches of Qingjiang River to assist Xiao Yun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, in strengthening the dams and preventing floods."

"Now there is an engineering department where Lu Chen is outstanding in learning, virtuous, upright, and courageous in taking on important tasks. Therefore, Lu Chen is ordered to temporarily serve as the governor of the Yu and Sui states, taking charge of the military and political affairs of the two states, and the territory of the two states. , everyone, whether military or civilian, must obey the Governor’s orders without making any mistakes!”

Hearing this, everyone's scalp suddenly went numb.

Governor of two states?Overview of military affairs?

Peter's mother too!

It’s not like there has already been a flood, it’s just about strengthening the dikes to prevent floods. Is it necessary to give such a big power to a small seventh-rank official?

That is the military administration of two states, with 15 standing troops, [-] auxiliary troops, and millions of people!

Everyone has to listen to the orders of a child with a yellow mouth like him!

How trustworthy is this?What a favor?

Your Majesty, can you be any more outrageous?

As he spoke, without waiting for anyone to object, Jiang Chengwan walked up to Lu Chen, and then gently raised the Ji Dao sword in his hand when he looked a little strange in his eyes for some reason.

"In addition, the engineering department was specially given to Lu Chen, the governor of Shizhong and Yu and Sui Dynasties, with the sword of Ji Dao, in preparation for flood control."

She handed the long sword in her hand to Lu Chen with a solemn expression, and then continued: "Where this sword is, it is as if I were there personally, and when you see it, it is as if you are seeing me. Anyone holding this sword can kill the guilty sect at the top and punish the unruly minister at the bottom. "You can also give orders to all directions for your own use."

At this point, she paused inexplicably, then glanced around, and then slowly spoke, with an extremely cold tone: "If you don't obey, you will be conspiring to rebel, and together with the gang members, the Yi tribe!"

Hearing this, Wang Qian broke into a cold sweat again.

The imperial envoy who possesses the sword of the extreme!

How terrifying is this?

You must know that the sword of Ji Dao not only symbolizes the supreme imperial power, but is also an extremely powerful treasure in itself.

Moreover, even if this sword is just a pile of scrap metal, as long as the emperor opens his mouth to use it as the sword of the Human Emperor, no courtier will dare to underestimate the sword holder.

If nothing else, just this [similarity in conspiracy] is enough to make people fearful.

Once they are accused of such a crime, unless they really start a rebellion and overthrow the emperor and establish themselves as emperor, the He clan will never expect to have a foothold in Daxia in this life.

With this supreme holy sword around, it is impossible to imagine what kind of crazy things Lu Chen, who dislikes him and the Qingning Army, would do.

As soon as he thought of this, Wang Qian couldn't help but feel chills in his heart.

Although he was in the warm Tai Chi Hall, he couldn't feel a trace of warmth and was cold from head to toe.

'No, I have to explain to those arrogant brats a few more times and tell them to behave themselves during this period. No matter what, they have to pretend to be grandsons in front of this guy Lu Chen, and they can't find any fault with this guy. OK! '

'Otherwise, if something happens, no one will be able to protect them! '

If Lu Chen knew that Wang Qian had such an idea now, he would probably jump up and point at his nose and yell:

You're such a coward, why don't you stand up for me and fuck me!

When Wang Qian made up his mind, quite a few courtiers felt unhappy.

Even Xiao Yun, the minister in charge of water control, the Minister of Industry, only received a few words of encouragement from His Majesty. Lu Chen, a sharp-tongued guy who was clearly just a deputy, was actually appointed as the governor of two states!

Moreover, he was personally taught the sword of the extreme by His Majesty, which shocked the civil and military forces.

This time, everyone once again refreshed the level of favor the empress had on Lu Chen in their hearts.

Isn't it possible that Lu Chen has been designated by the Empress as the future emperor and is preparing for his father to rule the world?

Your Majesty is not so kind to the Holy King Cangming who traveled thousands of miles to help her regain her power, used his supreme holy power to clear out the Queen Mother's gang and many rebellious ministers, and then helped her rule the world without reservation!

Lu Chen was completely numb at this time.

The sword of the extreme...the governors of the two states...the military and political power...
