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

"oh?"

On the high platform, Jiang Chengdao squinted his eyes and looked with great interest at the only one among the quail-like courtiers below who dared to stand up, a figure who was about to sing against him.

He really didn't expect that this group of courtiers who had been suppressed by the Queen Mother Zhao for six full years would be so bloody when faced with an existence that was only stronger than the Queen Mother Zhao.

Inexplicably, he thought of what his younger sister Jiang Chengwan said before he was going to send Xuanwuwei into Beijing.

In today's court, there are still loyal ministers who maintain orthodoxy.

After taking control of Luojing, he has been busy cleaning up the Queen Mother's clique, suppressing the resistance forces in the city, sorting out all kinds of documents, accounts, treasures in the Queen Mother's palace, and the corresponding follow-up affairs, but only handed over the military power of Xuanwuwei to Jiang Chengwan didn't have time to ask who the loyal minister she said was.

Could it be him?

"Who is this adult?"

Lu Chen cupped his hands, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "I am Lu Chen, whose name is Huaiyu, and has received the grace of His Majesty, and I am currently in the engineering department."

"It turned out to be Lu Ge's fault."

The corners of Jiang Chengdao's mouth under his visor were slightly raised, revealing a hint of a meaningful smile, and then half-truly and half-fakely said: "Long admiration."

As he spoke, he turned his head quietly, and glanced at his sister on the dragon chair from the corner of his eye, with a questioning look in his eyes.

Jiang Chengwan seemed to have known that he would look over, the moment her eyes met, she nodded directly.

Jiang Chengdao understood immediately, and couldn't help but looked carefully, looking at Lu Chen with a hint of curiosity and appreciation.

"Don't dare to be."

Lu Chen's face was extremely stern, and he didn't give Jiang Chengdao any face.

Regarding Lu Chen's ignorant attitude, Jiang Chengdao secretly thought it was funny, but under the mask, there was an extremely cold sneer.

"Hehe, Lu Geshi thinks there's something wrong with my king's proposal just now?"

"snort!

He was answered with a sonorous and forceful cold snort.

"It's natural."

"Huh?"

There was obvious coldness in Jiang Chengdao's voice.

"What's wrong with this king? Please ask Lu to make it clear."

As soon as the words fell, some courtiers who were relatively close to Lu Chen felt slightly strange on their faces.

'This man...is really a fool...'

‘How dare you openly accuse the Holy King Cangming, this guy must have a brain problem! '

'Huh... Fortunately, the old man has a good sense of people. He knew that this guy is not easy to get along with. I have never talked to him, otherwise I am afraid that I will be angered by the Holy King of Cangming...'

‘It’s only a dozen times a month, what kind of life are you playing? ! '

'Insanely stupid, simply stupid! '

'You have to stay away from this idiot in the future, um... no, this idiot has angered the Holy King Cangming, and he will definitely be expelled from the court. How can there be a future? '

'...'

Naturally, Lu Chen didn't know what they were thinking, and he didn't even notice their strange eyes.

Of course, even if you noticed it, you didn't bother to pay attention.

At this time, he was thinking about how to anger the Holy King Cangming, and let this guy quickly force the empress to issue an edict to dismiss him, or just kill him, so that even if he died in the line of duty, he would be promoted directly on the spot, so naturally he would not Will care about how other people arrange themselves in their hearts.

Lu Chen cleared his throat, and then slowly said: "The court has its own laws, no matter whether the queen mother is controlled by the evil spirits, no matter whether the so-called evil spirits are guilty or not, and how serious the crimes are, they should be handed over to Dali Temple for trial, or Your Majesty's Holy Order."

When he mentioned the empress, he paused for a moment, and bowed slightly to Jiang Chengwan to show his respect.

A look that would not show any disrespect to the empress no matter what.

Although the empress was just an insignificant puppet emperor on the surface, the kind who would be torn off the throne at any time, Lu Chen paid so much attention to such insignificant details that it was meaningless to many people, and it was very likely to get angry.

But for Lu Chen, this "catastrophe" was what he dreamed of.

Therefore, he naturally would not let go of any details that could openly express his importance and loyalty to the empress, and any details that could cause disaster.

When everyone, including the Holy King Cangming, thought that he would only be loyal to the Empress in this life, no matter who was actually in power, whether it was the Queen Mother Zhao or the Holy King Cangming, no one could shake his loyalty. Removal from exile is not far away.

"Furthermore, a major case involving so many courtiers must be intricate and complicated. A single negligence may lead to an unjust and wrongly decided case. We must be cautious and need to mobilize a large number of people to search, investigate, interrogate, etc., one after another. They must be handed over to the relevant government offices with rich experience in order to handle them properly."

"Your Highness the Holy King, although you are the king who controls millions of soldiers and civilians in the Holy Realm, you have no experience in handling such cases after all. Therefore, I absolutely do not believe that you can properly handle this case, Your Highness the Holy King."

As he said that, Lu Chen suddenly turned his head, looked at the Empress, and said loudly: "As the saying goes, if the name is not correct, then the words will not go well, and if the words don't go well, then things will fail. Although His Highness the Holy King has a noble status, he is not the Minister of Dali Temple after all. If this case is handed over to His Royal Highness the Holy King, it will be unreasonable and lawless, if this case is open, the consequences are unpredictable, let alone where to put the Dali Temple and where to put the Daxia Fadu?"

Hearing what he said, Li Zheng, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, almost turned green.

Nima!

Where is the Dali Temple?

How about Dali Temple is none of your business? Who the hell made you think about Dali Temple?

I have been an official for thousands of miles just to make money, just dawdling in my life, what has become of Dali Temple has nothing to do with me!

Although the original Dali Temple Minister was the Queen Mother's clan uncle, he had been killed by the killing god a long time ago, but the current Dali Temple is his young minister who has the final say.

But it's too late for him to avoid such a wide-ranging case, who the hell is so full to cause such trouble?

Cangming Shengwang is willing to accept such a difficult case. I am grateful to the eighteen generations of his ancestors, okay?

As for unreasonable? Damage to national law? It's none of my business! As long as it doesn't hinder Lao Tzu's drinking tea to keep in good health, take some filial piety by the way, whatever you like.

Just when Li Zheng was cursing Lu Chen furiously in his heart, Jiang Chengdao's cold eyes swept over him.

Li Zheng's heart trembled suddenly, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

"Li Shaoqing, what do you think about what happened to Lu just now?"

"What nonsense!"

Stimulated by a strong desire to survive, Li Zheng hastily expressed his opinion.

"Although Dali Temple is in charge of criminal and prison trials, there are two former university scholars, three second-rank officials, and many high-level officials involved in this case. Such a big case, even if the Dali Temple and the Criminal Ministry The three judges of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are not capable enough to deal with it, and your Majesty is young, how can he judge this case?"

After a pause, he slightly suppressed the fear in his heart, and continued:

"That's why I believe that what Lu Jishi said is pure nonsense. His Highness the Holy King is wise and powerful, honest and upright, and his talent and learning are ten thousand times better than mine. He will definitely handle this case properly."

As a veteran who has been in the officialdom for many years, if Li Zhengruo really wants to shirk something, he can find an excuse in an instant.

And while evading, you can also blow a wave of rainbow farts to Jiang Chengdao.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Zhi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, and Xie Hongyun, the right capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, stood up and echoed.

However, they didn't notice that Jiang Chengdao's eyes became colder when they were farting rainbow farts.
