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

Why don’t you follow the Yi tribe?

Each one of these is too hot to touch, isn’t it?

What is this for?Are you afraid that I will be killed by those arrogant and powerful generals?

Fortunately, the temporary appointment is not a promotion. This kind of temporary official position will be removed immediately after the matter is completed, and will not trigger system restrictions. Moreover, this cycle will not end for another fifteen years, and the next cycle will still be a one-time job. In a small cycle of ten days, the system rewards are not many, and even promotion will have no impact.

Otherwise I'm afraid I'll have to thank you.

Looking at the Ji Dao sword in front of him, which was even more powerful than Shang Fang's sword, Lu Chen felt like his heart was being trampled by ten thousand grass and mud horses.

Fuck you, how can I play with you if you do this?

To be honest, I don't want it.

Subconsciously, he wanted to refuse, but before he could speak, Jiang Chengwan, who had seen through his mind, said with a solemn expression:

"Lu Qing, please don't refuse. It is important to quell the flood. Lu Qing, you are equally important. There is no room for failure."

Hearing this, Lu Chen's eyes couldn't help but twitch slightly.

The nearby courtiers were even speechless.

Your Majesty, he is your Lu Qing, not your Lu Lang!

You have shown so much favor to him, why should I be so embarrassed? !

Lu Chen shook his head and struggled: "Wei Chen has made no achievements now and has not made any achievements. Your Majesty is so kind to you. I really don't deserve it. I hope your majesty will take back your order. I only need to give you the right job..."

However, before he finished speaking, Jiang Chengwan interrupted in an extremely domineering manner:

"I said you deserve it, so you deserve it! Who dares to say anything?!"

As she spoke, she turned her head sharply and looked around.

All the courtiers caught by her gaze bowed their heads.

"If you can't even afford it, Lu Qing, who in the world can do it?!"

Hearing this, Lu Chen was immediately "touched" to the point of tears.

"How can a humble minister be so virtuous and capable that His Majesty loves him so wrongly..."

Jiang Chengwan looked at Lu Chen and said solemnly:

"Lu Qing, you are the future pillar of Daxia. It is related to the destiny of Daxia. I will never allow you to make any mistakes. No matter how careful you are, you will never be too careful."

Lu Chen: "..."

The pillar stone of the Kingdom of God!

And let’s not talk about whether I will be the pillar of the country in the future. Your Majesty, shouldn’t you care about the feelings of the current pillar of the country?

Aren't you afraid that Holy King Cangming will fall out directly?

"so."

Jiang Chengwan raised his head slightly, "If Lu Qing is unwilling to accept, then I can only refuse what Lu Qing just invited."

Hearing what the empress said, Lu Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

As expected, the empress had no hope of being dismissed from office or dying in the line of duty, and could only find ways to touch the fundamental interests of those behemoths.

Realizing this, he took the sword of Jida directly without hesitation.

"Thank you for your kindness, your majesty. I will definitely live up to your majesty's high expectations!"

If you agree, you will at least still have a chance to do something. After all, you can do a lot of things with military and political power, and there are many opportunities to commit suicide. Anyway, you can't count on the empress anymore, so you can't let go of other opportunities.

Seeing that he finally agreed, the empress' lips raised slightly.

"Then, the affairs of the Yu and Sui states will be left to Lu Qing."

Chapter 72 Smart People (Please follow up!)

Although Yuzhou and Suizhou are both administrative districts located in the northwest of Yunlan Province, which is surrounded by mountains, they are not Zhili prefectures or subordinate states under Yunlan Province, but Zhili prefectures directly governed by the central government. .

Although the environment in some areas of the upper reaches of the Qingjiang River in the two states is relatively harsh, the land in other areas is relatively fertile and the climate is pleasant. Moreover, after most of the spiritual energy was siphoned into the upper reaches of the Qingjiang River, large areas with a very dense concentration of spiritual energy were formed that are very livable. zone.

Therefore, the population of the two states is not large, and they were already very prosperous during the reign of the first emperor.

But in the past few years, after Queen Mother Zhao came to power, the lives of the people in the two states have been extremely difficult.

The most intuitive manifestation is population.

When the late emperor worked hard to rejuvenate the Xia Dynasty, the population of the two states continued to grow rapidly, and they once became a tax revenue center comparable to Tianlan Province. However, since the late emperor collapsed in a strange and extremely weird heaven and earth phenomenon, the population of the two states has continued to grow rapidly. But it's plummeting every year.

Today, the population of the two states is actually [-]% less than the year when the late emperor died.

One can imagine what a "grand occasion" the world was like when Empress Dowager Zhao took the throne.

At this time, in a village belonging to a certain county in Yuzhou.

More than a hundred households in the village, hundreds of men, women and children gathered in the grain-drying field, looking despairingly at the official official who made a sudden visit not far away.

"Lord Registrar, I beg you to be noble and leave a way for Xiaomin's family to survive!"

Chen Baiqian, who is already in his [-]s this year, has a withered face and is as thin as a skin and bones. He knelt down in front of a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe and shouted with great sadness:

"Although the county magistrate has increased taxes every year in the past few years, Xiaomin's family has never defaulted on any arrears. Now Xiaomin's original family of eight has only four members left, and the family only has more than ten days left to survive. If you are doing hard labor at this time, you will not be able to prepare all the rations you need by yourself, and if the common people take away all the remaining food from home, the family will no longer have a way to survive. Isn’t this pushing the common people’s family to a dead end? "

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Wei, a man with a thin face and ragged clothes, also knelt down and begged:

"Your Majesty, it is clear to me that it is not just the common people who are unwilling to contribute to the government. It is actually the common people's family that is in dire straits and does not even have the food they have prepared for themselves. The county magistrate refuses to provide food rations along the way. We are really helpless. Please forgive me, Lord Registrar." Let's find a way out..."

After the two started, other villagers also imitated their example, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to the middle-aged scribe.

"Please sir, have mercy..."

"Please have mercy, sir..."

"Xiaomin's family really can't survive..."

Some villagers were so excited that they rushed towards the middle-aged scribe, wanting to hug his thigh and beg.

However.......

"Damn you idiot, get out of my way!"

Swish!

Following a sharp shout, a burst of spiritual power suddenly surged from the body of the middle-aged scribe named Gao Ping.

Immediately afterwards, a strong wind suddenly appeared around his body and kept circling, protecting his entire body in the middle.

Boom! !

"what!!"

"what!"

The villagers who rushed towards Gaoping screamed and were blown into the air by the strong wind, and then fell heavily to the ground.

"Daddy!!"

"Uncle!"

Suddenly there was an anxious and childish exclamation from the crowd, but two sallow-looking children rushed out and ran to the two villagers who fell on the ground with tears in their eyes.

But they saw that the bodies of the two villagers were twitching violently, and then they kicked their feet a few times, and in just a moment they were completely silent.

"Wow!"

The two children immediately burst into tears, shook their relatives' bodies, and shouted loudly, trying to wake them up.

But obviously, this is just in vain.

Seeing this scene, all the villagers suddenly shrank their necks and looked at Gao Ping with fear in their eyes.

Most of the villagers even dared not open their mouths to beg for mercy.

"Humph!"

Gao Ping snorted coldly, and at the same time reached out his hand and patted the dust on his body.

"The damn mob dared to attack this master's book. They really don't want to live or die!"

The charge of attacking an imperial official was so lightly placed on the two villagers who could no longer defend themselves.

The yamen servant on the side came over, with a smile on his face, and said flattering words one after another.

"As expected of the county magistrate's right-hand man, Master Gao is truly a master of cultivation."

"These untouchables really overestimate their capabilities and dare to attack Master Gao. How is this different from striking an egg against a stone?"

"Hmph! These untouchables are just untouchables. They obeyed the county magistrate's order to work and nothing happened, but in the end they wanted to die. They attacked us without knowing whether to live or die. They had to see some blood before they would obey. They deserve to be punished for generations. Nestle in this small space."

"Who said it wasn't..."

Hearing this, Gao Ping immediately narrowed his eyes and clasped his hands, looking inscrutable.

"Ignorant people in Guizhou are all like this. It's not surprising."

It can be seen that he still enjoys the flattery from his subordinates.

They did not lower their voices or hide anything when they spoke. They let the surrounding villagers listen to all their unscrupulous words without any scruples.

pat...

Looking at the two children not far away who were gradually fainting from crying, Li Wei clenched his fists violently, his eyes full of anger.

This is the court that they pay taxes on time every year to support, and this is the court official who can be selected by the court's selection of talents!

What a cannibal without spitting out the bones!

This kind of dog official, this kind of court... Damn it!

The other villagers were frightened and filled with anger.
