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

He is just a dying person who is about to face a disaster. Now that the imperial edict has not been issued, he can still show his prestige.

When the court comes to its senses, these fools who dare to attack a first-class royal family will definitely die without a burial place. What is there to be afraid of?

"My Lord Governor, it's not that we are derelict in our duties, it's that the suspect is too cunning and extremely determined. He decided to commit suicide when he realized that there was no hope of survival. Once such a determined person is determined to die, even if we don't relax our guard for a moment, it will be difficult to stop him. They committed suicide and I hope you will learn from it."

Lu Chen did not respond directly to Yuan Wu's remarks. Instead, he suddenly turned his head and shouted:

"Where is Xuanji Guard?"

click!

The black shadow flashed, and more than a dozen Xuanji guards appeared behind Lu Chen like ghosts.

"I am humble!"

Except for Fu Hua, all the Xuanji guards bowed to Lu Chen and saluted.

"Please give me your instructions, Lord Governor."

Lu Chen nodded slightly, then waved his hand.

"Bring all the people who have recently been involved in Yuzhou Prison, including the clerks, jailers, cooks, Ye Xianglang, etc., under my control!"

After the words fell, Yuan Wu's expression suddenly changed slightly.

"My Lord Governor, this is a humble position..."

He wanted to say something, but Zhao Ping's eyes flashed unnaturally.

Lu Chen snorted coldly and interrupted directly.

"Go!"

"Here!"

The Xuanji Guards responded in unison, and then took action directly, easily restraining all the jailers and guards.

Zhao Ping walked up to Lu Chen and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty Governor, these suspects committed suicide out of fear of crime. Although Yuan Wu is suspected of dereliction of duty and negligence, he only needs to deal with it according to the law. This is not the case. What's more, this matter has nothing to do with it. What does the chef, Ye Xianglang and others have to do with each other? Why bother them?"

Lu Chen glanced at him indifferently.

"If Liao Ji and other suspects committed suicide out of fear of crime, I would naturally not embarrass them, but I don't believe they committed suicide!"

Hearing this, Zhao Ping's face suddenly revealed a hint of imperceptible gloom.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.

"The imperial edict has arrived. Governors of Yu and Sui, please ask Lu Chen from the Engineering Department to receive the edict!"

A clear voice followed.

But the first imperial edict issued directly by the empress in the court came as expected.

Zhao Ping suddenly became energetic, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

The edict...is finally here.

In his opinion, now that the Empress is in charge of the first dynasty, it is the time when she needs to win over people's hearts, and Lu Chen is so bold that he dares to kill King Yu, and he will definitely not end well.

No, retribution is coming!

Recalling that Lu Chen recently made things difficult for the Yuzhou scholars for the sake of the common people who didn't care at all. Today he checked the official warehouses in Ping County, and tomorrow he checked the fields in Hu County. Or he asked them to collect past files and send them over, and he also had to review all the records. All accounts of the county government.

It almost turned the entire Yuzhou officialdom and powerful families upside down, and offended everyone to death.

And I don’t know how this guy’s brain grew. His abilities were terrifying. He seemed to be able to see through people’s hearts. He could see through the tricks of various county magistrates at once, and then judge the crime and sentence him.

Later, he even relied on the supreme authority of the Sword of the Supreme Dao to directly order counties to open warehouses and release grain to help the people, and conduct random inspections.

If he hadn't reacted very quickly and immediately contacted all the major clans and county governments in Yuzhou when the situation was bad, and tried to replenish his positions overnight at all costs, otherwise the entire Yuzhou officialdom would have been filled with people by now.

This guy even dares to kill the extremely noble King Yu, let alone these little shrimps.

Well now, this alien whose behavior is extremely absurd, even extremely crazy, will finally be punished by decree.

Let’s see how arrogant he can be when he doesn’t have the emperor’s blessing and the sword of Ji Dao in his hand.

There is not much food distributed now, and the loss is not huge. As long as Lu Chen is driven out of Yuzhou, they can still afford this loss.

As long as there was no lunatic like Lu Chen, they would have a lot of opportunities to make back this loss.

Yuzhou is still their Yuzhou after all.

And Yuan Wu, who was dragged away like a dead dog, looked even more ecstatic after hearing the sound.

It was a pity that he had just subconsciously resisted, and the acupuncture points all over his body were sealed by the Xuanwu Guards, making him unable to move. Otherwise, he would have laughed wildly on the spot and ridiculed Lu Chen loudly.

Officials from other state government offices also looked happy.

The imperial edict has come, this damn god of plague is finally leaving their Yuzhou, how can they not be happy?

However, as the saying goes, everything is possible before the results come out. It seems too early for them to cheer for it at this time.

While thinking about it, a beautiful woman in palace clothes walked in with several palace servants holding an imperial edict.

Seeing them walking towards him, Lu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, then stood up and went to meet them.

After the formal etiquette, the messenger directly read aloud:

"The extreme way carries the emperor and makes him say..."

Hearing this, Zhao Ping couldn't help but his expression froze, and he instinctively felt something was wrong.

Zhi said...

What is Zhiyue? !

Zhiyue is an imperial edict used to award rewards and express the emperor's great kindness!

He, Lu Chen, almost killed King Yu. Even if he had the sword of the extreme, in order to calm people's hearts and appease the royal family, he should at least be suspended and investigated, right?

No matter what happens, Luo Jing must be recalled to give him a serious warning!

What the hell is Zhiyue? !

Then, as if to confirm his guess, the palace man continued to read:

"Today, there is an engineering professor named Lu Chen, who is also the governor of the Sui and Yu states. He is resolute and courageous. He is not afraid of power. He is loyal to the emperor and loves the people. He is diligent in government, courageous in his duties, virtuous and upright. He works tirelessly to govern the place and puts an end to the resentment of the people of the two states. The people's livelihood is gradually recovering, and they are deeply loved by the people of the two states. The people are the foundation of the country, and the people's aspirations will make the country stable. Lu Qing cares for the people on behalf of heaven and has made great contributions to the court... He specially gave a pair of Ruyi jade, a thousand taels of gold, and spiritual stones. …”

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

Damn it, this empress is really poisonous, right?

There are so many ways to deal with this matter, and you actually chose the one that you should least choose? !

Do you have some shit in your head? !

After hearing the content of the imperial edict, Yuan Wu's vision went dark, he completely lost consciousness, and was finally thrown into the cell like garbage.

But Zhao Ping's expression completely changed.

This imperial edict is full of praise for Lu Chen, and there is not a single word to accuse him of not abiding by his ministerial integrity. The following is a violation.

Such a generous reward!

He looked forward to Lu Chen's continued efforts.

what does this mean?

This means that Lu Chen’s Holy Favor is still there and has not been affected at all!

Even if he almost killed King Yu, a first-class prince!

In other words, the empress's trust in him remained the same, and she would not remove Lu Chen from his position as governor because of King Yu's incident. Instead, she seemed to rely on him even more.

Lu Chen's position as governor was far more stable than he imagined.

And after this incident, Lu Chen almost became famous in one battle.

He mercilessly killed King Yu, causing him to lose his limbs and his path to immortality. Not only was he not punished afterwards, but he was given money and spiritual stones. His great achievements were also recorded and will be reported again after the floods have subsided. Rewards based on merit.

What kind of shit is this? !

From now on in Yuzhou, this guy is probably going to walk sideways, right?

"Wei Chen, thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

After the palace attendants read out the imperial edict, Lu Chen responded calmly and accepted the imperial edict.

Regarding Lu Chen's plainness, the palace attendant was not annoyed at all, but said with a smile on his face:

"Congratulations, Mr. Lu."

"Master Lu, despite being so favored by His Majesty, still remains unfazed by honor and disgrace and handles it indifferently. He is truly a role model for our generation..."

"..."

Others also wanted to say some nice words, but Lu Chen said expressionlessly: "If you guys have nothing to do, please go back to Luojing to serve His Majesty. I still have some official business to deal with, so I won't accompany you."

Regarding these extremely honest words, the palace people still laughed with them.

"Official matters are important, Mr. Lu, don't worry about me and others."

Lu Chen bowed his hands to them, turned around and left the prison.

Fu Hua followed closely behind, and gradually disappeared into the entrance corridor under Zhao Ping's complicated eyes.

As soon as Lu Chen came outside, Fu Hua suddenly came over behind him.

"Governor Lu, Fang Yu and the others are leaving for their new post today. Before leaving, they would like to ask for advice on how to conduct government."

"Is it."

Lu Chen nodded, "Where are they?"

During this period of time, when he was busy scrolling, whenever he had the opportunity, he would take a few Xuanji guards who were about to take up the posts of temporary county magistrate, temporary judge, etc. to go out to observe the people's situation, and teach them how to handle government affairs step by step. Put forward some ideas about improving people's livelihood that even I don't know whether they are feasible.

Of course, when it comes to government affairs, he is only half-assed. The reason for this is simply because he is a hardcore old bookworm who has been in the Internet literature industry since he was a child, and he prefers to read historical Internet articles, so Just know all kinds of weird knowledge.

But even so, in this world of high martial arts where most scholars only seek immortality and improve their cultivation, he still appears to be quite outstanding.

It is more than enough to be the teacher of those Xuanjiwei who are like a blank sheet of paper in terms of culture and governance.

Fu Huan said softly: "Yamen hall."

"Well, I'll go over now."

Seeing Lu Chen agree so decisively and simply, Fu Huan couldn't help but feel slightly shaken.
