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

"People are like this, they will change with the environment, the things they experience and other factors."

Liu Dongyang picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said calmly: "For example, you, Lu Geshi, before you met Gu Simiao, you were probably just a mediocre young man of cultivation, but after meeting her and being rescued by her Only after making the promise of helping the world and keeping the people safe will you grow into who you are today step by step."

"Otherwise, you may be like other mediocre people, enter the officialdom with high ambitions, but lose your heart in all kinds of temptations and struggles, and finally be dyed with various colors in the big dyeing vat of the officialdom, completely losing your heart Heart, from now on a mediocre life."

Having said that, he looked at Lu Chen with a sense of awe gradually.

"I don't know what Gu Simiao has been through, but what is certain is that she is no longer the sage in Lu Geshi's mind who has the world in mind, and since she is not Gu Simiao who saved you, Lu Geshi you Why bother to worry about her?"

Hearing this, Fang Ping couldn't help but glance at him.

"Liu Shangshu is right."

After retracting his eyes, he looked straight at Lu Chen, and said in a humble voice: "Lu Geshi, the Gu Simiao in your mind who is for the country and the people may have been long before she got married with Zhao Feifan and clinging to the power of the Queen Mother." Gu Simiao was already dead when she was born. Gu Simiao is just a selfish villain in the eyes of the world now. Don’t be too entangled. Take Gu Simiao’s teachings to you in your heart and remember you Promise to her, just be yourself as always."

"In this way, it won't be in vain for her to save your life. By the way, you can also accumulate merit for her and repay her for saving your life."

After a pause, he said again:

"Although you fell into the schemes of some evil crafters this time, and made a mistake on the spur of the moment, fortunately, it didn't lead to bad results. Moreover, you are still young, and young people are inevitably arrogant. It's easy to get carried away."

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and letters are always more important than you, and you are regarded as an important minister in the future. As long as you admit your mistake to Your Majesty and reflect on it, His Majesty will definitely not make things difficult for you."

Hearing this, Xiao Yi on the side immediately gave Fang Ping a thumbs up in his heart.

In the early morning, when they heard the urgent report from Suzhou and other places, they were anxious about the war, and also worried that Lu Chen would be devastated after hearing the news, so they deliberately took advantage of Lu Chen to move to a new house On the occasion, come and enlighten me.

As for Liu Dongyang's coming, it was beyond his expectation.

But looking at the other party's appearance, it was obvious that he had a love for Lu Chen, and couldn't bear to see such a valuable and good minister leave the court, so he came here to comfort Lu Chen just like them.

But at this moment, Lu Chen felt as if he was being trampled by ten thousand mud horses, and he was extremely depressed.

What's the matter?

I treat you with delicious food and drinks, but you will make trouble for me when you are full?

Thank you so much for your comfort and advice!

After the three of them finished speaking, the others gave advice one after another.

They didn't have any special ideas, they just respected Lu Chen.

After the empress dowager's six years of chaos, there are really not many direct ministers like Lu Chen who don't care about themselves and are dedicated to serving the public in the court.

Facing sincere comforts one after another, although Lu Chen complained wildly in his heart, he still couldn't help but have a different kind of thought in his heart.

After everyone finished speaking, Lu Chen was silent for a while, and then slowly raised his head.

"Feel sorry."

He stood up and bowed to everyone one by one.

"I still feel that there may be something hidden about the matter of the barren state, and Ms. Gu is definitely not the kind of treacherous villain who ignores the world for her own selfishness."

Hearing what he said, Liu Dongyang and Fang Ping couldn't help staring.

Why is this young man so stubborn, determined to go his own way, and doesn't listen to anyone's persuasion...

Xiao Yi, on the other hand, couldn't help sighing after a brief moment of stupefaction.

"Huaiyu, why are you bothering..."

It's not that he doesn't believe in Lu Chen, but that he doesn't believe in Gu Simiao, who has no contact with them except for saving their lives.

Lu Chen smiled wryly.

"I'm sorry, brother Yu, no matter what, I have to personally confirm whether Miss Gu has really changed, or the evidence is so strong that I have to believe it, otherwise, I will never believe that I was a good official who helped the world and the people in order to repay her. Because of the grace of saving her life, she will betray the imperial court and stir up disputes in the world for her own self-interest."

As he said that, he suddenly turned his head, looked at Fang Ping and Liu Dongyang, and said solemnly: "Liu Shangshu, Fangdu Censor, I appreciate the kindness of the two of you, but the old saying goes: since ancient times, everyone has died, and no one has faith." Do not stand."

"If I miss you, then Miss Gu is really a traitor to the country. I will definitely be willing to punish you for the same crime as I said in the court that day, even if Your Majesty forgives me because of past affection."

"Even if it's death, I, Lu Huaiyu, don't want to break my promise and live!"

Hearing this, feeling the unshakable firmness in these sonorous and forceful words, everyone was moved.

He was able to sacrifice his life to win his trust.

Lu Huaiyu, a real gentleman!

Throughout the ages, how many people are there who are so loyal, benevolent, trustworthy, talented and brave?

How lucky is it to meet such a great husband today? !

Even Liu Dongyang, who has been famous for a long time, couldn't help trembling slightly with his hands holding the teacup.

At this time, Lu Chen seemed to him, although he was still a stunned young man, completely ignorant of flexibility, ignorant of the principles of the future, the overall situation, and keeping a useful body in order to prosper.

But he has to admire this kind of sincere gentleman who sticks to the ideals in his heart and is not shaken by any external objects.

In the next second, he and Fang Ping shook their heads almost simultaneously and sighed.

At this point, if they continue to persuade Lu Chen not to preserve his faith, it will be tantamount to killing him as a person.

How did they succeed?

For a while, the atmosphere gradually became heavy.

And just when Lu Chen was about to be polite and let Luo Xiaoyu see off the guests——

"Lu Qing is really sincere and trustworthy."

Suddenly there was a voice that was familiar to everyone present.

Immediately afterwards, with the sound of light footsteps, the empress in a dark red dragon robe with gold patterns appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing the familiar figure of the empress, everyone couldn't help being startled, then subconsciously stood up and bowed to the empress.

"My minister has met His Majesty, Your Majesty Shengan!!"

The Empress waved her hand.

"Sit down, everyone. I came here just to congratulate Lu Qing on moving to a new house. I have nothing else to do. You don't need to be polite."

Hearing this, except for Lu Chen, everyone's heart shuddered.

Before that, Lu Chen said firmly in the court that Gu Simiao would not rebel, and even defended her at all costs. As a result, today came the definite news that Gu Simiao joined forces with Queen Mother Zhao and Qin Wang Jiang Chengyun to attack the court.

Now that things have come to this, His Majesty still treats Lu Chen so favorably? She even made a special trip to congratulate Lu Chen on moving to a new home.

This is simply telling the world plainly that she, Emperor Daxia, is still the one who trusts Lu Chen the most.

Such a sacred family is simply terrifying!

Immediately afterwards, the Empress turned her head and looked straight at Lu Chen who had a complicated expression for some reason, her vermilion lips slowly curling into an arc.

There was a soft and unique tone in the majesty, which slowly sounded in everyone's ears.

"All the officials in the court think that I trust Lu Qing so much because Lu Qing never gave up on me at the beginning, but they don't know that compared to Lu Qing's unparalleled loyalty, I appreciate Lu Qing's talent and learning and perseverance in keeping the original heart. "

While speaking, she walked towards the position next to Lu Chen.

"After the court today, many people said, Lu Qing, after you know that Gu Simiao sent troops, you will rush into the palace to find me, and shamelessly beg me for mercy. If they hear what Lu Qing said just now, it must be Will you be so ashamed that you can't wait to find a crack in the ground and drill down?"

The moment the voice fell, feeling the undisguised appreciation in the empress' words, Lu Chen always felt like lifting a rock to shoot himself in the foot.

He raised his hand and arched towards the approaching empress.

"Your Majesty praises you, minister, I am sincerely terrified."

"I don't have any false praise, it's Lu Qing, you are too modest."

The empress smiled, then walked to Lu Chen's side very naturally, and sat down slowly while flattening the long skirt underneath.

Just sitting next to Lu Chen's main seat.

Lu Chen: "???"

Immediately afterwards, before he could react, the empress casually picked up the empty bowls and chopsticks on top, facing the cold face in front of her, and being caught by the messy dishes.

"Your Majesty can't!"

Liu Dongyang became anxious immediately.

"Your Majesty is the supreme being in the world, with a body of ten thousand gold, how can you eat the leftovers from us?"

Fang Ping and Xiao Yi at the side also hurriedly stopped them.

The Empress shook her head.

"It's okay, there are a few details, don't worry about it, I still have a lot of business to deal with, and I need to go back to the palace as soon as possible, so I don't need to prepare a new meal, just eat a few bites and express my congratulations."

According to the etiquette of the Great Xia Dynasty, no matter what banquet you attend, you must eat something at the banquet to show respect for the host of the banquet.

It was the first time she came to Lu Chen's house, so she naturally didn't want to be rude.

After that, she ignored their dissuasion and prepared to continue serving food.

However, at this time, Lu Chen stretched out his hand and grabbed the empress's chopsticks without any scruples.

The chopsticks finally stopped in mid-air.

"Your Majesty, Liu Shangshu and Fang Du Yushi are right."

As Lu Chen spoke, he took off the empress's chopsticks and held them in his hands.

Such a blatant act of disrespect made Fang Ping, Liu Dongyang and others who were quite anxious just now widen their eyes, and their eyes were full of disbelief.

Damn!

What did I just see?

Someone dared to take the emperor's chopsticks directly? !

How brave is this guy? !

Advising the Lord and resisting the Lord are two completely different concepts!

Lu Chen didn't pay any attention to the ghost-like eyes of the crowd, and said with a normal face: "The so-called master humiliated the subject to death, please don't make things difficult for us, Your Majesty."

"Furthermore, His Majesty, with the honor of the emperor, came to congratulate this humble minister. This kind of heart alone is far superior to all vain courtesy. I am afraid that I cannot bear His Majesty's heavy heart and expectations. How can I blame His Majesty for being rude?" Woolen cloth?"

After the words fell, everyone subconsciously looked at the empress.

However, under their strange eyes, the Empress not only didn't get angry with Long Yan, but smiled apologetically at Lu Chen, and said softly:

"Sorry, I was negligent."

After all, he no longer insisted.

It was as if Lu Chen's persuasion was good advice, while Fang Ping's persuasion was nonsense.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief while being amazed at the empress's generosity.

Seeing that she didn't have any negative emotions at all, a look of disappointment flashed in the corner of Lu Chen's eyes inexplicably.
