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

With such a huge change in Luo Jing, everyone in the capital was like a frightened bird, locking the gate tightly, watching groups of black-armored soldiers shuttling through the streets outside the gate in great horror.

The people in Beijing are all praying at home, and they must not be involved in this turmoil.

They've had enough of it these past few years.

Since the Empress Dowager took charge of the dynasty six years ago, the life of the people in Beijing, which was barely considered relatively affluent, has gradually plummeted.

Taxes are getting higher and higher, tax items are increasing, and labor is becoming more and more onerous.

At the same time, there are more and more arrogant and domineering dudes in Beijing, especially in the first two years when the Empress Dowager took power, the Embroidery Guards and Habayashi Guards were frequently dispatched, not to arrest any "rebellious officials" and "corrupt officials" and to search the mansion , It is to wipe out a certain "rebel" and implicate the ten clans.

The frequent turmoil disturbed the people in the capital. At that time, they were afraid that they would somehow become the "tenth clan" of a courtier who wanted to rebel. Many wealthy families moved out of the capital.

It can be said that since the first emperor took over a country that had turned into a mess from his father who only knew how to enjoy life and ignored government affairs, it took 25 years of hard work to create a ZTE situation and accumulate a strong family background. In just six years, they have lost a lot.

That is to say, the weather has been smooth in the past few years, otherwise the ghost knows what will happen.

Of course, ordinary ordinary people do not understand the current situation in the court. They only know that their living standards have become so poor. It is probably because there are traitors in the court.

Because of this, the female emperor's prestige among the people is extremely limited. Even if the emperor is changed immediately, and the "famous" King Qin becomes the emperor, the common people will not react.

Some people even applaud.

Not to mention the aristocratic families, sects, and gentry that were rich in "savvy people".

In their eyes, the empress is just a transitional puppet, not only has no power in the court, but also has no background outside the court, and has no control over the military and politics. Anyone who comes can be pinched. Flat iron waste.

Therefore, even if they were beaten to death, they would never have thought that the tiger and wolf divisions patrolling the streets of Luojing at this time turned out to be soldiers who obeyed the orders of the Empress.

Of course, until now, they still don't know that the Empress has come back from a desperate situation.

I just know that Ziji City has changed hands.

Because those Xuanjia soldiers wearing Xuanjia and exuding a bloody evil spirit could not be the Queen Mother's troops at all, and the Habayashi Guards and Imperial Guards controlled by the Queen Mother were dead and fled. The news of the huge change in Jicheng came out.

Throughout the day, Xuanwuwei was running around the city, and a series of hoofbeats could be heard on the street from time to time.

Sometimes there will be begging for mercy or the sound of fierce weapons clashing somewhere, and then there will be a chilling bloody atmosphere.

After two days of uneasiness, in the early morning of the third day, the palace, which had completely calmed down, issued an announcement document with a big seal and an Anmin notice.

After seeing the above content clearly, almost everyone's eyes widened in shock.

"What did you say? The Empress Dowager and some courtiers, as well as the Habayashi guards and the generals of the imperial army have been controlled by Xie Chong. A few days ago, they frantically mobilized the Habayashi guards and the imperial guards to plot evil? But your majesty saw through Xie Chong's movements in advance, and secretly sent a message to Cangming The Holy King asked for help and made arrangements in advance, which broke the evil plot in one fell swoop?"

Luojing West City, in a slightly dilapidated small courtyard.

Lu Chen stared in disbelief at Luo Xiaoyu who hurried to tell him the "good news" with an excited expression on his face.

"And after the plot failed, under the siege of the Cangming army, Xie Chong used the terrifying secret technique of Xie Chong to escape with the Queen Mother?"

"Yes, cousin, that's what it says in the announcement!"

Luo Xiaoyu put her small hands on her chest, suppressing her beating heart, and at the same time happily said: "This is really great. I thought there was a rebellion in Luojing City, and there must be rebellious soldiers everywhere outside. I am afraid of rebellious soldiers every day." break in"

She spoke quickly to Lu Chen about her feelings for the past few days.

To be honest, she has been staying at home shivering for the past few days, terrified, listening to the occasional footsteps and occasional screams outside every day, facing this situation that she has never experienced since she was a child. Several times almost collapsed in extreme panic.

I didn't close my eyes for a whole day and night, and even if I couldn't resist taking a nap, I still carried a pair of sharp scissors in my pocket.

Now that she saw the announcement and knew what happened outside, her nerves that had been tense were finally loosened, and she was completely relieved.

"And now that the queen mother has been kidnapped by evil spirits, and her life and death are unknown, there is definitely no way to remove your cousin from your official position."

Speaking of this, she seemed to suddenly think of something, and a bright color suddenly flashed in her moving eyes.

"Oh! Cousin, now that the Queen Mother is missing, His Royal Highness the Holy King came here from the Cangming Realm, thousands of miles away, to serve as the King. If you think about it, you will definitely stand up and help His Majesty stabilize the situation. If this is the case, isn't Your Majesty going to rule in person? And Cousin You risked the disgrace of the world and asked the Queen Mother to return the government to Your Majesty. Although Your Majesty didn't say anything, you will definitely keep your loyalty and this friendship firmly in your heart."

Hearing this, the corner of Lu Chen's mouth twitched immediately.

What Xiaoyu can think of, he can naturally think of.

It is also because of this that he feels that the situation seems to be developing in a direction that is not good for him.

The ominous premonition grew stronger.

Xiaoyu who talked more and more vigorously did not notice the strangeness on Lu Chen's face at this time, and continued with a happy face:

"Wow! Cousin, you may have been blessed by misfortune!! After this incident, His Majesty must know that you are a loyal and virtuous minister, and maybe he will entrust you with a heavy responsibility soon, and there is the friendship from last time, Your Majesty will not dismiss officials at will like the Queen Mother. Cousin, you have always taken the world as your own responsibility, and you have an upright personality. You can't tolerate sand in your eyes, and you can easily offend people. But with this friendship, His Majesty will not like Cousin in the future. If you speak out and advise, you will not be dismissed directly if you think about it, at most you will be arranged for a leisure job with good pay, and you will not treat you badly, cousin."

Hearing this, the corners of Lu Chen's eyes suddenly twitched wildly, and his face gradually showed a look of lovelessness.

To him, it doesn't matter whether the queen mother is really controlled by evil spirits as stated in the announcement.

The confessions of those top masters who were desperately guarding the queen mother, and the fact that the evil division stood up to prove that those masters did not lie are not important.

The important thing is that he didn't hesitate to resist the Queen Mother's Ling Tian Fengwei, just to annoy her, and then his plan to be dismissed from office failed so inexplicably.

The decree to dismiss from office, which was supposed to be issued two days ago, was also the key to his transformation into immortality, so it just disappeared.

After all, it was the empress dowager that he had offended, and the empress dowager was gone. This imperial decree, which was extremely important to him, knew without even thinking about it that it must have been aborted.

What's even more deceitful is that, as Xiao Yu said, as long as the empress is not a ruthless white-eyed wolf, she must have remembered his performance in the Tai Chi Hall before.

If she really came to power, it would definitely not be a good thing for him who only wanted to be dismissed reasonably.

Originally, he could be dismissed casually, and he could become immortal directly after completing the system conditions, but after such a change, the difficulty has suddenly increased a lot visible to the naked eye.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen became furious.

‘Gah, this bastard’s Holy King of Cangming, it’s not a good time to come, but he just came when I was about to be dismissed from office, can’t the fuck be a little later! ! It's only one day away! ! ! '

For this bastard who suddenly appeared and stabbed himself in the back, he would be a ghost if he had the slightest liking for him.

Seeing that the duck that was about to be obtained was gone, he almost went to heaven in anger.

‘You dog thief, I am at odds with you! '

At this time, Luo Xiaoyu finally noticed the strangeness on Lu Chen's face, and asked suspiciously: "Cousin, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so bad, you seem very unhappy."

"No, Xiaoyu, your eyes are blurry!"

Lu Chen turned his head, looked out the window, and clenched his fists at the same time, the veins on the back of his hands popping out.

"Your Majesty has the opportunity to be in charge of the government. Great Xia is expected to revive, and the future of the hundreds of millions of people in Central Continent can be expected. With my assistance, Your Majesty will surely become a generation of sages who have surpassed the ancestors and surpassed Wenjing in the future. This is a great joy. , how could I be unhappy?!"

Slap!

While speaking, Lu Chen's knuckles under the quilt suddenly made a crisp sound.

"Huh? Really?"

Xiao Yu looked at Lu Chen suspiciously, always feeling that this cousin, who was so upright and troublesome, was a bit weird.

"certainly."

Without looking back, Lu Chen turned his back to Xiao Yu, gritted his teeth and said every word: "I'm so happy now!"

Xiao Yu: "."

Although a little confused, Luo Xiaoyu has always been sensible. Seeing her cousin looking at the rain scene outside the window, looking like she wanted to be alone for a while, she didn't ask any more questions, and left with a washbasin while humming a song up.

After Xiao Yu left, Lu Chen finally calmed down and calmed down.

Things have come to this point, it is useless to think too much.

With this time, it is better to think more about how to plan in the future.

He has no merits, he was just an ordinary social animal before crossing, the kind who was squeezed to sudden death, neither a gifted genius nor any special talent, but he has a heart that is indomitable and courageous strong heart.

It was just a failure. Although the consequences of this failure were a bit serious, they were not irreversible.

If you want to be dismissed voluntarily, there is definitely a chance.

He put on his shoes and got out of bed, went to the desk and picked up the mansion newspaper, repeatedly checking the content on it, hoping to find some ideas from it.

"Um?"

After carefully reading the above content with his own understanding, his eyes suddenly moved.

"Something's wrong."
