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

"Commander Fu, long time no see."

In the hall of Lu Mansion, Lu Chen smiled and greeted Fu Yu who was walking slowly.

And when she saw Lu Chen sitting on the main seat, Fu Yi inexplicably shuddered, and a strange look flashed in her cold eyes.

Hearing Lu Chen's voice, when she was crossing the tribulation, the way that crazily consumed her own vitality to activate the forbidden technique in the sword of the extreme way, desperately blocked her, and finally drowned in the monstrous flames in the scene.

Plop. Plop.

A strange emotion rose from the depths of his heart. Although his face was the same as before, his heart beat slightly faster.

Then she took a deep breath, and smiled at Lu Chen not far away.

"It's about Lu, no, I haven't seen you for a long time, Minister Lu."

Lu Chen smiled and gestured to the side, "Please sit down."

Luo Xiaoyu did not follow into the living room, but went to prepare tea sensiblely.

I don't know why, it's obvious that the family is a lot more prosperous, and the Lu family has no shortage of servants, but Luo Xiaoyu, the little housekeeper, is still the same as before, acting as a maid, insisting on personally taking care of Lu Chen's daily life and receiving guests , Never let the servants take over.

Even if Lu Chen told her not to work so hard, she didn't want to.

Fu Yu nodded and sat in the first seat next to Lu Chen.

"When did you come back?"

Fu Yu said softly: "More than two hours ago, I came to the palace to report the situation of Yuzhou and Suizhou to His Majesty and Lord Shengwang."

As she said that, she suddenly raised her hand and said with a smile to Lu Chen: "By the way, I haven't congratulated Minister Lu on his promotion yet. I wonder when Minister Lu will throw a big banquet to celebrate?"

Lu Chen shook his head: "A promotion or something, to me, it's just a change of position to do things, there's nothing to celebrate."

Hearing this, there was no surprise on Fu Ye's face, obviously she knew that Lu Chen would say that.

"Lu Shilang is as upright as ever."

"Commander Fu is overrated."

Lu Chen was polite for a while, and then asked: "By the way, Commander Fu, how are the people of the two prefectures doing now? How are Fang Yu and the others doing as acting county magistrates?"

Seeing that Lu Chen asked about the current situation of the people as soon as he came up, Fu Yu couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

The tablets of longevity that can be seen everywhere in the homes of people in the two prefectures are really not just set up casually.

Only Governor Lu is like this, even if he is favored by the emperor, he still sticks to his heart, not only does not rely on this favor to act arrogantly and domineeringly, but also uses it to benefit the people, he is worthy of the love of the people.

"Since Fang Yu and the others took office, they have been adhering to your teachings, Minister Lu, to put the people first in everything, insist on condolences to the people, pay attention to the people's livelihood, and personally solve various problems encountered by the people."

Fu Yu said slowly: "Although the lives of the people everywhere are not yet rich, at least no one will starve to death. As long as they work hard, everyone can live a good and peaceful life."

"Before leaving the two states, I went to various places in disguise to make unannounced visits. The local people all praised Fang Yu and other parents and officials. They also saw everything you did for the people during your tenure as the governor of the two states. In my heart, the people in the two prefectures are now standing in the homes of Lu Shilang, your longevity tablet."

Hearing this, a complex look flashed across Lu Chen's eyes.

Fu Wei continued to talk about the changes in the two states during this time.

From the livelihood of the people in the counties, to the governance strategies of Fang Yu and others, to the people's love for the guards of Yuzhou and Suizhou, and with the spontaneous help of the people, the flood was not only completely quelled, but also a large amount of construction time was shortened. Saved a lot of money and food.

After careful calculation, it turned out to be much less than the previous cost of conscripting labor to control the water.

Not only that, but now the military and civilians of the two prefectures are integrated. Yuzhou Wei and Suizhou Wei took the initiative to help the people along the way to build bridges and pave roads on their way back to the station after finishing flood control.

The people rushed to send melons and fruits and snacks, but none of the guards received them. In the end, the people even forcibly put the food into the cart

Now Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, the two guard commanders, are well-known in the local area, and almost everyone knows that there is such an army with a heart of Buddha in the two states.

"Yeah."

After listening to Fu Yu's narration, Lu Chen nodded with complicated eyes.

"That's good"

Although not as expected, such a result is not bad.

"By the way, Commander Su and Commander Zhang entrust you with a message for Lu Shilang."

Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help being taken aback.

call me?

Those two horse sellers were bullied so hard by me back then, and they finally got out of the clutches of their clutches. It would be nice if they didn't think about revenge, and they even asked Fu Wei to give me a message?

"What do they want to say to you?"

Fu Wei cleared her throat, and said softly: "They said that they have already realized your good intentions, Minister Lu, and apologized to you for the ignorant collision and malicious speculation at the beginning, and at the same time, thank you, Minister Lu, for letting them realize the Tao, and for letting them live for many years. Those who have not improved their cultivation can break through the shackles, they are not villains who do not repay their kindness, and there will be surprises when they wait for the New Yuan Ceremony."

"Wait!"

Lu Chen interrupted suddenly.

He stared wide-eyed and looked at Fu Yu in surprise.

"Have they achieved enlightenment and made a breakthrough? And is it because of my subordinates?"

God TM has worked so hard!

When did I treat them with good intentions?

Have these two guys misunderstood me?

Fu Wei nodded lightly, then smiled, and said, "Well, Lu Shilang, you taught them at Tianmen Pass and on the way to the dam area. After the flood control, they completely abandoned it in the love and affection of the common people. When I was prejudiced against you, I finally fully comprehended the way of generals hidden in your words, and I was able to realize the breakthrough."

Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but twitch his eyes.

This nima is also okay?

And when he was dumbfounded, Fu Wei seemed to feel that the news was not exciting enough, and continued:

"It's not just these two commanders. Fang Yu and the others have gained a lot when they governed the counties according to your teachings, Minister Lu. They have improved a lot in their cultivation. Enlightenment is possible at any time."

Lu Chen's eyes twitched again.

Wo Ri, is it possible that Lao Tzu is a public hacker?

As soon as he thought of this, he felt more and more that he was a bit evil.

After listening to his remarks that were incompatible with the mainstream values ​​of this world, the empress directly enlightened her on the spot, and her cultivation level surpassed several great realms in a row.

After Fu Yu finished listening to his nonsense, she also directly realized the Tao and broke through to the Guiyi state.

Now there are two more military generals who were at odds with him, and half-baked county magistrates like Fang Yu.

Isn't it said that enlightenment is extremely difficult, and there is no one in a million who can understand it? Why the fuck are the cultivators around him enlightened and breakthrough one after another?

Is it true that Lao Tzu's words are unreasonable?

Lao Tzu who said these things for Mao didn’t realize the Tao?

The world is really poisonous, right?

"Forehead"

Lu Chen scratched his temple with some headache.

"Really. This is really gratifying"

Well, strictly speaking, this is not a bad thing.

It just feels a little weird.

Fu Yu stood up suddenly, then knelt down on one knee towards Lu Chen, and saluted heavily.

Seeing this, Lu Chen was slightly startled, then hurriedly got up, and at the same time asked anxiously, "Commander Fu, what did you do?"

"Below."

There was an indescribable solemnity in Fu Yu's voice.

"Thank you Lu Shilang for your kind words that night. If it weren't for Lu Shilang, I might not be able to clearly shape my heart in this life, and I will always be stuck in a hole."

Hearing this, Lu Chen subconsciously shook his head and said:

"Commander Fu, please don't do this. It's just an unintentional remark during a chat after dinner. Commander Fu's breakthrough is entirely because of your excellent understanding. I didn't do anything specially, it was just a coincidence."

Fu Ye didn't intend to get up at all, but looked at Lu Chen seriously.

"Even so, Lu Shilang has the grace of enlightenment to me, and when Xia Dujie was attacked by thieves, Lu Shilang did not hesitate to use his life to protect me and save him with his life. If it weren't for this, I would have already died in the hands of the thieves. Great kindness and great virtue, if I treat it indifferently, how is it different from a beast?"

Hearing Fu Yu's serious words, Lu Chen suddenly had a bad feeling.

Words and ideas on how to downplay this incident kept flashing through my mind.

However, before he could open his mouth, Fu Yu suddenly cupped his hands vigorously at him.

"Lu Shilang's kindness to me is as great as the sea, and I can't repay you. If Lu Shilang is useful to me in the future, it doesn't matter whether you go to the mountain of swords or go to the sea of ​​fire. No matter what Lu Shilang wants to do, I will definitely go through fire and water. no excuses."

Lu Chen: "."
