After having an idea, Lu Chen suddenly felt very good.
When I went to go to court the next day, I felt windy as I walked.
"The next step is to find out the shortcomings that Daxia has accumulated over thousands of years, and we have to find a good entry point to avoid system restrictions."
As he walked along Zhuque Street towards Ziji City, Lu Chen's mind was racing.
"The clans and aristocratic families that monopolize talents, the increasingly serious contradiction between man and land, the vested interests of ancestral systems such as maritime bans, the gap in the national treasury caused by the royal family's pig-raising policy, the monopoly of officialdom but the sage's way is not suitable for governing the country, The system of non-payment of taxes by cultivators... there are a lot of them if you just look for them. It is a miracle that Daxia can continue to this day. It is estimated that only in this world where there are holy relics and various supernatural powers, can this be done? Will such a miracle happen..."
"Judging from the empress' trust in me now, she will definitely protect me no matter what happens. But if I come into contact with the interests of those giants and they join forces to put pressure on the empress, even if the empress wants to protect me, she will There is no guarantee that, in order to take the overall situation into consideration, she will definitely follow the general trend and get rid of me. Even if she does not kill me because of her previous friendship, she will definitely remove me from the court to appease the public and maintain the stability of the country."
"Of course, those ruthless characters who eat people without spitting out their bones will definitely find ways to target me crazily. In order to protect their interests, they may even assassinate me secretly. After all, blocking someone's financial path is like killing their parents. It is impossible for these vested interests to let me go. And as long as they succeed, I will be judged by the system as having died in the line of duty."
"Whether one is dismissed from office or dies in the line of duty, both meet the conditions for immortality. Being dismissed from office is naturally the best, but dying in the line of duty is not unacceptable. Although the process may be a bit painful, as long as the goal can be achieved."
As he thought about it, his pace became faster and faster, but he didn't notice several figures passing by on the eaves not far behind him.
"If there is a chance, I still have to seize the opportunity to lower the empress' favor for me."
When he was about to arrive at Xuanji Sect, Lu Chen began to sort out his thoughts and go through all the key points of the next action in his mind.
"As long as you are disgusted by her, there are plenty of opportunities to be dismissed from office. Being dismissed from office is always better than being killed."
"Moreover, in the future, we must contact and study government affairs as much as possible. There should be many entry points that can be used. If the empress really can't count on it, then go and deal with those existences that no one dares to touch, and become a Big death.”
"If we take multiple measures, I don't believe that we can still be dismissed from office or die in the line of duty."
"In other words, before ascending, you have to improve your strength as much as possible."
"This world is still quite dangerous. The so-called decent sects and evil sects coexist. People in the world are everywhere. Whether they are robbing the rich and giving to the poor on behalf of heaven, or burning, killing, looting and causing trouble in the world. To put it mildly, these people are just grudges. But in fact, they are essentially thugs who rely on their superior martial arts skills and despise the law to act recklessly. Not only that, there are also various demons wandering around in the world. Even if they do nothing, they may be targeted for some unexpected reasons. .”
"If you are killed by a perverted demon or some demon that sucks yang energy, the cause of death has nothing to do with being an official. Your death will be in vain. Not to mention ascending, you may not even be able to enter reincarnation. Therefore, you still have to have strength.”
"In addition, you have to make more enemies. Although the emperor of this world is supreme, he can't do what he says. Most of the time, he can't help himself. Otherwise, if he acts impulsively, one bad move will set off a wave of chaos. Another wave of turmoil has shaken the country, so as long as I have enough enemies and create a strong enough momentum, one day, under the turbulent will of the ministers, the empress will not be able to protect me even if she wants to."
Thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and before he knew it, he had passed through the Xuanji Gate and walked towards the Taiji Hall as a habit.
In the passage separated by the high red wall, the courtiers walked together in twos and threes. When they saw Lu Chen, quite a few of them subconsciously walked away quickly and distanced themselves from Lu Chen.
Although the remaining people did not deliberately avoid Lu Chen, they did not take the initiative to get closer.
Lu Chen's reputation has completely spread.
Many court officials know that although this person has become a popular figure in front of His Majesty, he has no intention of cultivating people who are loyal to the Party. Moreover, this guy is extremely maverick. When faced with the court officials who show favor to him, he will definitely He scolded him angrily, unlike the emperor's favorites who were once in high power in the past.
No one is willing to put his hot face on someone else's cold ass. Since he is so aloof, then everyone will just keep their noses in the river.
Moreover, this guy doesn't understand the way of being an official at all. He has such a stubborn temperament and doesn't know how to adapt. Sooner or later, he will be in bad luck.
The current favor and status are just like a mirror, and they cannot last forever. Let’s not talk about whether there is any benefit to fawning over such a person. When he falls, those who are close to him will definitely be liquidated together.
So it's best not to have anything to do with him.
This is what most courtiers think.
Of course, not all courtiers thought so.
For example, Xiao Yun, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, who did not know what method he practiced, and whose appearance has not changed at all since he became an official, was also the only female official among the six ministers.
At this time, she was frowning and looking worried.
If you look carefully, you can see that the upper part of her fluorene board is covered with writings. It is obvious that the court is very busy today.
"well..."
Xiao Yun sighed inexplicably, with an indescribable melancholy between her brows.
She slowly raised her hand and habitually tucked the hair behind her ears, her behavior full of maturity and intellectual charm.
At this time, she suddenly noticed a lonely figure in front of her. Her frown suddenly relaxed, and she called out softly:
"Huaiyu."
When he heard someone calling his name, Lu Chen suddenly came back to his senses, and then turned around to look.
Then he saw a familiar beauty looking at him with a smile.
After being stunned for a moment, Lu Chen bowed his hands and said:
"Xiao Shangshu."
Xiao Yun nodded slightly, then walked a few steps to Lu Chen's side, and said softly: "It's such a coincidence, let's go to court together."
"my pleasure."
For Xiao Yun, a high-ranking official who has always taken care of his predecessor since he entered the official position, and whose official reputation and moral character are excellent, Lu Chen naturally cannot just criticize Xiao Yun regardless of everything just to make enemies.
Because it's so abnormal.
Not only does it not comply with the system restrictions, but it is also easy to be targeted by Zhu Xie Division and invited to drink tea.
There's no need to go to such trouble.
The two of them walked side by side toward Tai Chi Hall naturally.
"By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet."
On the way, Xiao Yun took the initiative to talk: "Help your majesty understand the way of the emperor with words of truth, break through the shackles, and increase his life by more than twenty years. For such a great achievement, your majesty will definitely be richly rewarded, and your majesty already trusts more than You have also done a great job in retaining a valuable minister like Xia Yan for His Majesty. Your Majesty will definitely promote you vigorously and entrust you with important responsibilities this time."
"Huaiyu has such an opportunity at such a young age. Even I am a little envious."
As she said that, seeing that Lu Chen's expression did not change at all and remained as calm as ever, she suddenly joked on a whim:
"By the way, Huaiyu, although officials should be as stable as Mount Tai and not be moved by external things, being too stable is not a good thing, especially for young people like you."
"Young people must be energetic. Only with vitality can they be motivated. Don't be like an old man who has no emotions. You are young and successful now. Although you can't get carried away, you shouldn't have any fluctuations. Such a happy thing should be taken care of. Be happy and don't hold it in your heart, otherwise you will get sick one day."
Hearing this, Lu Chen's mouth suddenly twitched slightly.
Happy?
I'm so damn happy, okay? !
………………
I was asked to work overtime and I just finished writing it now. I’m extremely sorry! ! !
