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

"His Majesty!"

Jiang Xu's face turned red, and he looked like a virtuous minister who had been let down by a faint king.

"As the lord of the world, the supreme emperor of the royal family, how can you pamper and pamper a courtier so much?! You even put aside the national law and the ancestral system for him. If you continue like this, the people of the world should respect me and the Jiang family. Should we still be in awe of him, Lu Chen? Is this world still the Jiang family's world?"

Others also cried one after another.

It's as if Lu Chen is not dead, and this Great Xia will be taken away by him one day.

Seeing this scene and hearing the extremely sad cries, quite a few of the courtiers were slightly moved.

Even Lu Chen was moved.

This imperial court still has good teammates who speak up for justice... Uh, no, they belong to loyal and brave men...

This is the seed of hope!

No, this fire can't just be extinguished like this, it has to be ignited desperately!

Thinking of this, Lu Chen stopped pretending to be deaf and dumb, but stood up directly.

"Your Majesty, please listen to my words."

As soon as the words fell, everyone couldn't help but froze.

Your Majesty has already defended Lu Chen in this way, why don't you just stand up and stand up?

Get cheap and want to be good? counterattack? Or is it worse?

Thoughts flashed through everyone's minds. They were already jealous because of the emperor's monopoly, but now their perception of Lu Chen became even worse.

Even Fang Ping, the Zuodu censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who had always admired Lu Chen, couldn't help frowning.

Adding insult to injury is not what a gentleman does...

Could it be that the old man misjudged the person?

Just as they were sizing up Lu Chen with all kinds of guesses in their hearts, the empress changed her previous lazy sitting posture, straightened up and looked at Lu Chen.

"Please tell me, Lu Qing."

Hearing this voice, which was obviously different from the previous address for Jiang Xu, everyone couldn't help being speechless for a while.

What's the matter?

In the huge court, only Lu Chen, a small seventh-rank official, is Lu Qing, and the others are just official titles, can't they?

The corner of Lu Chen's mouth twitched.

But he was too lazy to care about such a trivial matter. After shaking his head and throwing away the inexplicable thoughts in his mind, he said bluntly: "Your Majesty, although Jiang Zongzheng and the others think that the crime of the humble minister is extremely heinous and wants to put him to death..."

Hearing this, Jiang Xu and the others snorted at the same time.

"The rebels in the chaotic country, everyone can get them and punish them!"

The empress frowned slightly, and glanced at him aggressively.

However, Lu Chen ignored him and continued: "But no matter what they say, they are still your majesty's ministers. As a minister, of course they should be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, in order to repay the emperor's kindness, but they also have the responsibility of speaking out and admonishing the emperor. At that time, you should speak up and speak out, otherwise you will be a traitor who blindly flatters you."

Hearing this, everyone frowned immediately, and soon realized that what Lu Chen said did not seem to be what they thought. He wanted to rely on the empress' favor to launch a counterattack against Jiang Xu and the others, and even make them irreparable.

Seems to have misunderstood Lu Chen?

After thinking about it for a while, Fang Ping narrowed his eyes, with a look of relief on his face.

Lu Chen continued: "A king should have his own opinions, but he should not be too willful and turn a blind eye to the advice of his subjects. As the saying goes, you can't see Mount Tai with a single leaf. It is unavoidable, at this time, someone needs to find out the omissions and fill in the vacancies for His Majesty, and work together, and this is also the meaning of our existence."

"As the saying goes, if you listen to both, you will be clear, and if you listen to others, you will be dark. Even if your majesty thinks that what Jiang Zongzheng and others say is inappropriate, you should respond seriously, so as not to chill the hearts of all officials and dare not speak out again."

While talking, Lu Chen pondered.

The empress supported herself so strongly, but not only did she not accept her kindness, she even spoke for those old bastards.

If she is so ungrateful, no matter how magnanimous she is, she will have some opinions on me, right?

However……

Listening to Lu Chen's righteous and seemingly selfless words, the Empress' expression changed slightly, and she took a deep look at Lu Chen.

Sure enough, I saw the right person.

Lu Chen and Lu Huaiyu are indeed an honest and honest gentleman!

This is the loyal minister and pillar of the country bestowed upon her by the heavens! !

compared with him…

She turned her head slightly, and looked around at the courtier who had just offered to punish Lu Chen, with a hint of contempt quietly showing in her eyes.

Although she is not yet seventeen years old, she who has gone through hardships to gain power over the world is actually like a mirror in her heart, and she knows people's hearts like the back of the palm of her hand.

In her eyes, these so-called virtuous ministers who keep saying that they are thinking of Great Xia, to protect the country's laws, and to protect the dignity of the Tian family are actually a group of extremely selfish, thieves and prostitutes.

Especially the royal family.

These people are used to living a comfortable life. They can get money, food, and spiritual stones from the treasury every once in a while. They are sensual, oppressing the people every day, relying on the royal blood to run rampant and make the prefectures and counties where the fiefdoms are located into a mess.

And now suddenly there is a loyal minister who dares to kill the evil royal family, how could they tolerate such a big threat from the court?

King Yu doesn't matter at all.

The most essential needs are interests.

Once the supremacy of the royal family is threatened, their life will definitely be difficult.

Therefore, they would never allow Lu Chen to show up, not even to gain a foothold.

It doesn't matter whether King Yu is really guilty or not.

As long as Lu Chen is here, they will not be at peace for a moment.

I can't even go back to the fairy days when I was once sensual.

How could they stand it?

Thinking of this, the Empress looked at Lu Chen more and more softly.

Only a loyal minister like Lu Qing who cares about the common people and is loyal to the monarch and the country deserves her high hopes.

Those courtiers against him, hehe...

The empress sits high on the jade steps, and there are twelve jade crystals that can conceal the secrets of the sky, so Lu Chen naturally cannot see her expression.

But silence is the best response for him.

After all, who likes to be trained~

So he hastened to strike while the iron was hot and continued to fight the fire.

"I can feel His Majesty's protection, but this kind of favor and favor is not what I want. I hope that Your Majesty will be a wise and fair king, not a fool who only handles the affairs of the family and the country according to his feelings and preferences."

This is a bit heavy.

Some courtiers near Lu Chen looked at him as if they were fools.

This guy... really don't know how to write the word dead?

As the saying goes, too much is too much, almost enough.

Do you really think His Majesty's love for you is unlimited?

Lu Chen didn't care about other people's opinions at all, and didn't even notice the strange eyes around him.

At this time, he was already talking a little too much, and he didn't care what he was thinking or saying, and continued to raise his voice: "Besides, if your majesty wants to get rid of the accumulated evils, sweep away the decline, and create an unprecedented prosperity, you need to listen to the courtiers more. His advice, whether adopted or not, must be taken seriously."

After a pause, he thought casually for a moment, and then said aloud the words that came to mind just now: "Using copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes; using history as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall; using people as a mirror, You can tell the gains and losses!"

"Throughout the ages, almost all promising monarchs have opened up their voices and listened to advice, so as not to lose themselves in the supreme power and harm the country and the people. I hope that your majesty will use the ancient saints as a mirror to understand the gains and losses, and open the prosperous world!"

After Lu Chen's words fell, the huge Tai Chi Hall was instantly silent, and needles could be heard falling.
