"absurd!"
Lu Chen glared at the senior official of the Sanfa Department who kept giving Jiang Chengdao rainbow farts, and angrily said:
"As the chief officers of the Three Laws Division, you represent the justice of national law. Even if it is a huge case, no matter how extensive the involvement, you must face the difficulties without shirk, and you must ensure that the case is handled impartially, without any pretense. Otherwise, what use would your Majesty have for you, the Three Law Divisions?"
"Furthermore, the Holy King of Cangming has been in Cangming Realm before and has never entered the capital, let alone participated in the affairs of the DPRK and China. It is impossible to handle this case properly. Why do you think he is qualified to handle this matter on your behalf?"
"Putting such an important case in the hands of a person without any trial experience is a dereliction of duty! It is a contempt for the law!"
Having said this, he directly raised his hand, pointed at the three people and cursed: "Do you behave like this worthy of the official uniform you are wearing and worthy of His Majesty's trust?"
"Hmph! Ignorance."
Wang Zhi, the Minister of Punishment, snorted coldly and said in a deep voice:
"It's important for people to be self-aware and do everything according to their ability. It's stupid to do something when you know you can't do it! This case is too complicated and the identity of the person who committed the crime is extremely special. Only those with high authority and both ability and political integrity can ensure that Although I don’t want to admit it, there is indeed no such outstanding person among the three law divisions. The only ones who are qualified to hear such a big case now are His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Holy King."
"And just as Li Shaoqing said just now, Your Majesty is still young, and since he succeeded to the throne, he has been controlled by the evil demon queen for six years and has little contact with government affairs. Now, although the world has been restored, as the saying goes, nothing can be achieved without taking small steps. Qianli, Your Majesty needs to start with ordinary government affairs and gradually become familiar with government affairs. Such a heavy and heavy case cannot be handed over to His Majesty for the time being, so His Royal Highness the Holy King is the most suitable candidate to handle this matter."
Xie Hongyun also turned around, glanced at Lu Chen contemptuously, and then said:
"What Wang Shangshu said is absolutely true. Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Holy King must not pay attention to such ignorant nonsense. Although according to the laws of Bactria, His Royal Highness the Holy King does not have the right to accept this case, and there is no precedent, but in extraordinary times, extraordinary actions should be taken. Don’t just stick to the rules when it comes to things.”
"The Demon Queen has been in charge of the government for six years and has been in chaos. Now the Great Xia is full of chaos, natural disasters are gradually appearing, the people are suffering unspeakably, and the barbaric alien races are frequently moving. All the countries in the Western Region are looking at the wolves. At this time, we need a writer who can provide guidance and peace of mind. In the world, martial arts can be mounted to determine the world, and unparalleled talents with both generals and ministers, both political integrity and talent, can lead us to rejuvenate the Great Xia. Otherwise, if we stick to the rules as before and do not know how to adapt, even if the Demon Queen is defeated, we, the Great Xia, will not be able to Returning to the heyday of the late emperor, the country may even be in turmoil, with unpredictable consequences!”
As he spoke, his face suddenly became extremely solemn, and he raised his voice and said: "His Royal Highness the Holy King spared no effort to attack Luo Jing, smash the Demon Queen's conspiracy, and kill all her followers, saving His Majesty from fire and water, and saving all the people from hanging upside down. …”
The rich voice resounded throughout the Taiji Hall. Every word and every sentence was a compliment to Jiang Chengdao, but it did not mention at all why he led troops to the capital for no reason, and why he was so disrespectful to the emperor. He went to the palace with swords and shoes for the first time. The emperor's awe was accepted calmly.
"Who else can turn the tide when it is falling, and support the building when it is about to collapse, except His Royal Highness the Holy King?"
At this point, he suddenly bowed with all his strength and said solemnly to the empress: "The Holy King is both civilized and military, and has high moral prestige. He is the best choice to handle this case. As everyone expects, I sincerely ask Your Majesty to leave this case to the Holy King himself." Disposal."
As soon as he finished speaking, nearly half of the censors behind him leaned over at the same time.
"I beg your Majesty to hand over this case to His Royal Highness the Holy King!"
"I beg your Majesty to hand over this case to His Royal Highness the Holy King!"
If a big boss takes the lead, others will naturally follow suit.
Nearly half of the court officials from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment also leaned forward and asked the empress to grant their request.
Although the other half's face turned pale, he still gritted his teeth and stood there without any expression.
After studying hard for many years, their conscience prevented them from showing favor to King Cangming like their colleagues, but at the same time, their reason also made it difficult for them to take a step forward and join Lu Chen in verbally criticizing him.
As a result, they were caught in a dilemma and could only stand still and suffer.
Some of the other courtiers were moved, some were expressionless, and some glanced at the person who asked the empress for a memorial with contempt.
But no one stood up and took a stand.
Seeing that they were so "shameless", Lu Chen's eyes suddenly widened with anger, his breathing became more rapid, his chest heaved violently, and he looked extremely angry.
"Shameless!"
He shouted loudly, as if losing his mind, pointed at Xie Hongyun and others and cursed angrily: "As Shenghe court ministers, you are so shameless and shameless. In front of His Majesty, you have no bottom line and betrayed a powerful official with arrogant ambitions." Flattery!”
Hearing this, Jiang Chengdao raised his brows slightly, looking at the figure below who was still fighting for the empress even if he was fighting alone, and thought to himself:
'Stupid is a bit stupid, but...this kind of loyalty is rare. '
Stupid people can be cultivated slowly, but loyalty is difficult to cultivate.
Although he was scolded for being ambitious, he became more and more pleased with Lu Chen.
After all, his current role is indeed that of an ambitious and powerful minister. This was also the plan that the empress had discussed with him from the beginning.
Because she needs to get rid of some moths that are not worthy of death.
'As expected of the [Supreme] chosen by the Jade Seal, he has been assisted by such a loyal minister before he officially takes charge. This kind of luck... really makes people jealous...'
While he was thinking about it, Lu Chen went all out, angrily scolding the courtiers who praised Jiang Chengdao. At the same time, he pointed out overtly and covertly that King Cangming was disloyal and disrespectful to His Majesty.
Although everyone was well aware of this kind of thing, they also acquiesced in their hearts that Jiang Chengdao was a powerful official with evil intentions.
But knowing it is one thing, and whether or not it is stated is another matter.
There is now a certain tacit understanding between the courtiers and Jiang Chengdao. If someone directly points it out at this time, it is basically equivalent to provoking Jiang Chengdao.
Therefore, in the eyes of all the courtiers, Lu Chen had offended Saint King Cangming to death.
If there is no accident, either today or tomorrow, Lu Chen will suffer crazy revenge from the Holy King Cangming, who has now replaced Queen Mother Zhao and become the new actual leader of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Didn't you notice that Jiang Chengdao's eyes were getting colder and colder under his mask?
Facing Lu Chen's accusation, Li Zheng smiled contemptuously without caring.
"Don't be slanderous when things happen to Lu. His Royal Highness the Holy King worked tirelessly to personally lead his troops to the capital from Cangming Realm, thousands of miles away, to rescue him, and to kill the demon queen's family who brought trouble to the government and poisoned the common people. Such a great achievement is definitely deserved. To be worthy of the word 'National Scholar', we just admire the Holy King from the bottom of our hearts, how can we say flattery?"
Xie Hongyun continued: "Besides, don't forget about Lu Gei. If the Holy King hadn't arrived in time, you would have been deposed by the Demon Queen. How could you be so arrogant as you are now?"
Wang Zhi waved his long sleeves vigorously and said in a deep voice: "Master Xie is right. Before Lu Guishan slanders us for being unfaithful and unjust, you might as well see what kind of thing you are. It is clear that His Highness the Holy King has a lot of power over you." Well, forget it if you are not grateful, but you actually slander His Highness the Holy King, who has made great contributions to the dynasty, and have a disloyal heart. Isn't this kind of behavior repaying kindness with enmity?"
Hearing this, Lu Chen didn't even think about it and said with disdain:
"Even if I am persecuted by the Queen Mother, what if I lose this official position? The high official and generous salary are like a floating cloud to me. If I can't be loyal to Your Majesty, I don't want this official position! So where can I start talking about this kind of kindness? I have a great benefactor to me in this world. , there is only one person, Your Majesty. Apart from Your Majesty, no matter who he is, whether it is a holy king or a great scholar, I will only treat everyone equally and will never kowtow because of who is in a higher position."
After a pause, Lu Chen cupped his hands to the empress again, then looked at Jiang Chengdao, met his eyes without fear, and said solemnly:
"The only people I respect in this life are the parents who gave birth to me and raised me, your Majesty!"
Yes, I am a die-hard loyal to the Empress, and I will never betray the Empress in this life!
Even if she is just a puppet emperor who can be manipulated by others!
Therefore, please quickly remove me, a foolish and loyal person who does not understand current affairs, so as not to be an eyesore.
