"oh?"
On the high platform, Jiang Chengdao squinted his eyes and looked with interest at the quail-like courtiers below, the only one who dared to stand up and looked ready to contradict him.
He really didn't expect that this group of courtiers who had been suppressed by the Queen Mother Zhao with extremely ruthless means for six years would actually have such blood when facing an existence like himself, who was only stronger than the Queen Mother Zhao.
Inexplicably, he thought of what his sister Jiang Chengwan said before he was about to send Xuanwu Guard to the capital.
In today's court, there are still loyal ministers who uphold orthodoxy.
After taking control of Luo Jing, he has been busy cleaning up the Queen Mother's party members, wiping out the resistance forces in the city, sorting out various documents, accounts, treasures in the Queen Mother's palace, and handling the corresponding follow-up affairs. He only handed over the military power of the Xuanwu Guards. Jiang Chengwan didn't have time to ask who the loyal minister she was talking about was.
Could it be him?
"Who is this lord?"
Lu Chen cupped his hands and said with neither humility nor arrogance: "I am Lu Chen, whose courtesy name is Huaiyu. By His Majesty's grace, I am currently working in the Engineering Department."
"It turns out it was Lu Gui's fault."
The corners of Jiang Chengdao's mouth slightly raised under his visor, revealing a meaningful smile, and then he said half-truly and half-falsely: "I've admired you for a long time."
As he spoke, he quietly turned around and glanced at his sister on the dragon throne with the corner of his eye, with a hint of questioning in his eyes.
Jiang Chengwan seemed to have known that he would look over. The moment their eyes met, she nodded directly.
Jiang Chengdao understood immediately and couldn't help but look at it carefully. His eyes looked at Lu Chen with a hint of curiosity and appreciation.
"Don't dare to take it seriously."
Lu Chen's face was extremely cold, and he did not give Jiang Chengdao any face.
Jiang Chengdao secretly felt funny about Lu Chen's ignorant attitude, but what came out from under the mask was an extremely cold sneer.
"Haha, Lu Guishi thinks there's something wrong with my king's proposal just now?"
"snort!
What responded to him was a sonorous and powerful cold snort.
"It's natural."
"Huh?"
There was an obvious coldness in Jiang Chengdao's voice.
"What's wrong with me, my king? Please make it clear to Lu."
As soon as he finished speaking, some of the courtiers who were relatively close to Lu Chen had slightly strange faces.
'This man...is really a fool...'
'How dare you openly accuse Holy King Cangming? There is definitely something wrong with this guy's mind! '
'Huh...Fortunately, I have a good sense of people. I have known for a long time that this guy is not someone I can get along with. I have never spoken to him, otherwise I am afraid that I will be angered by the Holy King Cangming...'
'It's only a dozen times a month, what are you trying to do with your life? ! '
'It's so stupid, so stupid! '
'You have to stay away from this idiot from now on. Well... no, this idiot has angered Holy King Cangming and will definitely be expelled from the court. How can there be a future? '
'...'
Lu Chen naturally didn't know what they were thinking, and didn't even notice their strange looks.
Of course, even if I noticed it, I wouldn't bother to pay attention.
At this time, he was thinking about how to anger Holy King Cangming so that he could quickly force the Empress to issue an edict to remove him, or simply kill him. In this way, he would be promoted directly on the spot even if he died in the line of duty, so naturally he would not Will care about how others will arrange themselves in their minds.
Lu Chen cleared his throat, and then said slowly: "The court has its own laws. Regardless of whether the Queen Mother is controlled by evil spirits, whether the so-called evil party members mentioned by His Highness the Holy King are guilty or not, and how serious their guilt is, they should be handed over to Dali Temple for trial, or by others. His Majesty’s Holy Judgment.”
When he mentioned the empress, he paused slightly and bowed slightly to Jiang Chengwan to show respect.
He looked like he would never be disrespectful to the Empress no matter what.
Although the empress was just an insignificant puppet emperor on the surface, the kind who could be torn off the throne at any time, Lu Chen's emphasis on such inconsequential details was meaningless to many people, and was very likely to make him angry.
But for Lu Chen, this kind of "catastrophe" was what he dreamed of.
Therefore, he will naturally not let go of any detail that can openly express his importance and loyalty to the empress, or any detail that can cause trouble.
When everyone, including the Holy King Cangming, believed that he would only be loyal to the empress in this life, no matter who was actually in power, whether it was the Queen Mother Zhao or the Holy King Cangming, no one could shake his loyalty, he was about to be Removal from exile is not far away.
"Furthermore, a major case involving so many courtiers must be extremely complicated and complicated. A single oversight may lead to an unjust and wrongful conviction. We must be extremely cautious. A large number of manpower must be mobilized to search, investigate, interrogate, etc., and each of these matters must be done one after another. All matters must be handed over to relevant and experienced government agencies for proper handling.”
"Although His Royal Highness the Holy King is the king who controls millions of soldiers and civilians in the Holy Land, you have no experience in trying such cases. Therefore, I will never believe that Your Highness the Holy King can handle this case properly."
As he said that, Lu Chen suddenly turned his head, looked at the empress, and said loudly: "As the saying goes, if the name is not right, then the words will not go smoothly, and if the words are not right, then the things will not be accomplished. Although His Highness the Holy King has a noble status, he is not the Minister of Dali Temple after all. If this case is handed over to His Highness the Holy King, it will be inconsistent with reason and lawless. If this happens, the consequences will be unpredictable, let alone where to put Dali Temple and where to put Daxia Dharma?"
Hearing what he said, Li Zheng, the young minister of Dali Temple, almost turned green.
Damn it!
Where to put the Dali Temple?
How about Dali Temple is none of your business? Who the hell asked you to think about Dali Temple?
I have been an official for thousands of miles just for money and a living. What Dali Temple has become has nothing to do with me!
Although the former Minister of Dali Temple was the Empress Dowager's clan uncle and had been killed by the murderer long ago, now it is he, the Young Minister, who has the final say in Dali Temple.
But it was too late for him to hide in such a wide-ranging case. Who the hell could afford to cause such trouble?
Holy King Cangming is willing to accept such a difficult case. I am grateful to his eighteenth generation ancestors, okay?
As for being unreasonable? National law is damaged? It’s none of my business! As long as it doesn't prevent me from drinking tea and keeping in good health, and I can show some filial piety by the way, that's fine.
Just when Li Zheng was scolding Lu Chen in his heart, Jiang Chengdao's cold eyes suddenly glanced over.
Li Zheng's heart suddenly trembled, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
"Li Shaoqing, what do you think about what Cai Lu said just now?"
"That's nonsense!"
Stimulated by a strong desire to survive, Li Zheng hurriedly expressed his stance.
"Although Dali Temple is in charge of prison trials, the people involved in this case include two former bachelors, three second-rank officials, and many high-ranking officials. Such a big case, even with Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, The three judicial departments of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are not powerful enough to deal with it, and His Majesty is young, how can he judge this case?"
After a pause, he suppressed the fear in his heart and continued:
"So Wei Chen believes that what Lu Geishi said is pure nonsense. His Royal Highness the Holy King is wise, powerful, upright and upright. His talent and learning are ten thousand times better than mine. He will definitely be able to handle this case properly."
As a veteran who has been in the officialdom for many years, if Li Zheng really wants to evade something, he can find an excuse in an instant.
And while shirking, you can also give Jiang Chengdao a rainbow fart.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Zhi, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, and Xie Hongyun, the Censor of the Right Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, stood up and agreed.
However, they didn't notice that when they were taking pictures of the rainbow fart, Jiang Chengdao's eyes became colder.
