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

Luo Jing, Purple Extreme City.

Ziwei Palace.

The empress held a memorial in both hands, but her gaze, which should have been concentrated, was a little divergent, and there was hardly a trace of focus in her pupils.

Obviously, his attention was not on the memorial in front of him at all.

After a while, the little hand holding the memorial suddenly trembled slightly.

"Brother, what do you mean, Gu Simiao did not betray the imperial court, and all the treasonous actions he did during this period were to lull the demon queen's remnant party, gain her trust, and let the traitors loyal to the demon queen gather in the barren state , and finally sweep it all together, and completely eliminate the evil of the Demon Empress' chaos?"

"That's right."

In his mind, Jiang Chengdao's voice slowly sounded.

"Everything is as Lu Chen expected. Gu Simiao is indeed a loyal minister with righteousness in mind and for the country and the people."

After receiving Jiang Chengdao's affirmative reply, the Empress couldn't help but take a sharp breath.

Recalling what Jiang Chengdao said just now, about the incident in the barren state, and the demon queen and Xia Houyan and other rebels who caused troubles in the world were all killed and punished. All the treasures pretending to be treasures fell into the hands of Gu Simiao, and they were about to be brought back to the national treasury with her return...

Even she, who has already experienced big storms, couldn't help but be greatly shocked at this time.

She never expected that the outrageous judgment made by Lu Chen under his will was actually right!

He hit it again!

With the complete demise of the Queen Mother's family, the tense situation in the court was almost completely lifted.

Not only that, but with the return of countless wealth to the treasury, the financial crisis that had become more serious, but was barely suppressed due to the existence of the Holy King, was finally resolved.

Of course, the benefits brought by the sudden reversal of the barren state do not stop there.

As one of the Eight Great Pillars of the Great Xia, and a peerless general with outstanding achievements, Gu Simiao's prestige ranks high even among the generals of the Pillars.

She is so loyal to the imperial court and to the Empress who has just taken power, and made it clear that she will support the Empress at all costs. For the Empress who urgently needs prestige and enhances her control over the world, it is definitely a great thing.

The allegiance of the Holy King + Wushuangzhu Kingdom, as well as Fu Ye who has just broken through to the Guiyi Realm and can be entrusted with important tasks, and herself who has all the treasures of the royal family.

In terms of strength, she has almost no weaknesses.

It's a wave of fat!

Moreover, with Lu Chen's unwavering persistence, the Gu family was not ransacked by the court.

This not only reflects Lu Chen's unique vision, but also reflects the empress's trust in Gu Simiao!

It is simply a good talk about the mutual benefit of the monarch and his ministers.

It can be said that Gu Simiao and Lu Chen's perfect operation directly raised the empress's dominance by several steps.

Although there are still many people in the local area who are in dire straits due to the Queen Mother's chaos, and the rebels such as Shenggong Yu Jiuyuan Xuantian Army and Heavenly King Li Rucai's Heavenly King Army are constantly stirring up the situation and shaking the ruling foundation of the court.

But now the hearts of the people are still in Daxia, and the destiny is not lost. As long as the court is stable, these rebels will not have any chance.

In other words... On the surface, there is no longer any force in the country that can threaten the rule of the empress.

The legal inheritance of the former emperor's edict, wealth, power, loyal ministers and talents... With all these, her status is unshakable.

Next, after the turmoil in various places is completely eliminated, she can focus on the world and create her own prosperous world! !

With unrivaled achievements, in Lu Chen's mind, he became the generation of sage kings who surpassed the ancestors and surpassed Wenjing!

And this world will completely become a stage for Lu Chen, a unparalleled national scholar who is unparalleled in loyalty, caring for the common people, dedicated to the country, and benefiting hundreds of millions of people, to display what he has learned in his life and realize his ambitions!

Thinking of this, the Empress couldn't help but feel a heat in her heart.

It took her a while to calm down.

"Brother Huang, when will you and Gu Simiao arrive in Beijing?"

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Chengdao's voice rang in his ears.

"If the Shenxing formation is running at full capacity, with the speed of Jueying and her chasing wind horse, we will be able to reach Beijing at noon the next day at the earliest."

Hearing this, the empress nodded subconsciously.

"It seems that we need to prepare a little bit."

It is naturally impossible for the general who has made such a great contribution to the imperial court to return to the imperial court without any expression.

This barren state incident has such a perfect result, Gu Simiao's contribution is indispensable, not to mention that she has made great contributions to the dynasty. She has been stabilizing the northwest border for Daxia during the demon queen's chaos and annihilating countless foreign cavalry. The ancestral rule that different surnames are not allowed to be crowned king, even if she is crowned king, it would not be an exaggeration.

Therefore, in addition to welcoming the triumphant return of the heroes, a decision must be made as soon as possible on how to bestow rewards.

No matter how much it costs, it must be done in a beautiful and beautiful manner.

This is not only a reward and encouragement to Gu Simiao, but also the face of the court, which cannot be ignored.

"Speaking of which."

Jiang Chengdao spoke again.

"I have mentioned the guard of honor to her. After all, she just led the army to kill all the remnants of the Queen Mother. After taking off their heads, she left the barren state and rushed to Luojing without stopping. Her body was covered in dirt. Poor appearance makes it inconvenient to see the driver, let alone such a big event as the triumphant return of the army."

Hearing this, the Empress felt a strange feeling in her heart.

"Oh? What did she say?"

"She declined."

Jiang Chengdao said softly: "She cares more about Lu Chen than the triumphant gift. The reason why she rushed to Luojing so eagerly is to see Lu Chen as soon as possible. Everything else is not important to her."

Speaking of this, Jiang Chengdao was inexplicably emotional.

"Although it's unethical, it's understandable. After all, when the whole world thinks that she has betrayed the imperial court, criticizing her, and swearing at her, only Lu Chen firmly believes that she will not disregard the common people and start the war lightly, and will desperately protect the Gu family. Allowing her to deal with the Empress Dowager without any worries, and at the same time leaving a bit of leeway for her and the court, this is the reason why the current situation is so good."

"The so-called kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring. Lu Chen risked the world's shame to do this for her. Such a kindness, how can she not repay it with all her strength?"

The Empress was stunned for a moment, and then asked curiously: "Gu Simiao knows about the affairs in Beijing?"

"Um."

Jiang Chengdao affirmed: "She should have some kind of secret method that can achieve ultra-long-distance observation at a certain price, otherwise she would not be able to take such decisive action. Thinking about it, she probably learned that Your Majesty is in Lu Chen. Persevere, and when you promise to give her fifteen days to prove yourself, you have completely put aside your worries."

Hearing this, the pretty brows on the Empress's small face frowned for no reason.

The matter of the barren state.

In other words, Gu Simiao's experience during this period inexplicably gave her a strong sense of déjà vu.

The same is Lu Chen.

Also for some reason, had to hide himself.

Also when everyone abandoned/distrusted, only one person stood up for the morality and belief in his heart, and helped her without asking for anything in return.

The similar experience made the empress subconsciously put herself into Gu Simiao's feelings.

Then, her brows immediately wrinkled deeper.

"His Majesty."

Jiang Chengdao's voice sounded at the right time.

"Gu Simiao's insistence shows that she, like Lu Chen, is a person who places great emphasis on feelings and despises interests. Such a person can be used with confidence. Therefore, although it is somewhat against the rules, please postpone the triumphant gift. Let Gu Simiao come to the house to deal with Lu Ge..."

"no!"

Before Jiang Chengdao could finish speaking, the Empress suddenly interrupted him very rarely.

Especially when Jiang Chengdao said that Gu Simiao was the same as Lu Chen, and that Gu Simiao was allowed to go to Lu Chen's house, she who was originally wise and decisive suddenly seemed to be a different person, with an obvious look of resistance flashing across her face.

"Rites cannot be discarded. No matter what, when the soldiers who have made great contributions to the court return home triumphantly, the court must make a triumphant gift of the corresponding standard, and set up a state banquet to entertain all the ministers who have made great contributions. This is the duty of the court!"

"Otherwise, if people know that the imperial court despises heroes so much, wouldn't the subjects of the world be chilled?"

The empress spoke righteously, and her words were full of undoubted meaning.

Even the elder brother's opinion, which has always been relied on, was directly refuted.

"Your Majesty, this..."

"I've made up my mind, so there's no need to say more, Brother Huang."

The empress said in a concentrated voice: "Brother, please tell her that at noon the next day, I will order all the subjects of Luojing to welcome you triumphantly below the city, so that she can make good preparations."

Hearing this, Jiang Chengdao, who was riding the Jueying horse galloping through the official road, was suddenly stunned.

"???"

However, before he could ask, the empress said that the power of the holy spirit was about to be exhausted, and then directly cut off the magic spell.
