Shenghe six years of winter.

The imperial capital of Luojing.

Purple Pole City, Taiji Palace.

Morning.

"Minister, Lu Chen, who is in charge of engineering, implore the Queen Mother to return to His Majesty!"

In the splendid Taiji Hall, a sonorous and powerful voice resounded throughout the entire hall, instantly setting off a wave in the hearts of everyone present.

As soon as the words fell.

The faces of the ministers and officials all showed a look of astonishment, as if they had heard some fantasy.

Even the palace maids who served the emperor and the queen mother who listened to the government next to the dragon chair, the eunuchs around her, and the internal guards standing on both sides all showed incredible shock.

They couldn't help but be surprised.

Since six years ago, the emperor and a group of royal families died in a sudden vision of heaven and earth, the then queen Zhao used extraordinary skills and bloody means to quickly stabilize the situation, and then with the queen mother's respect for the dynasty, has been in charge of the dynasty, ruling the world.

Six years have passed, and now the government and the opposition are full of the Queen Mother's henchmen, and the 800,000 forbidden troops in the imperial capital are also under her control.

It can be said that as long as she wants, she can do anything to abolish it at any time.

And the empress sitting on the dragon chair was actually not born to the Empress Dowager Zhao.

It's just that since only the imperial family over the age of ten can inherit the most holy thing of the Great Xia Empire [Jade Seal], and she and the last prince of the first emperor were not yet four years old at the time, she had to support a puppet emperor until her imperial son could inherit the most holy thing of the empire.

The empress was the one she chose from the surviving royal family over ten years old at that time, who had no foundation and was the easiest to control.

Now, she and the last prince of the first emperor, the "virtuous and famous" King of Qin, who was already nine years old, will be ten years old in another ten years, and it is self-evident what will happen at that time.

Everything is a foregone conclusion, just waiting for the moment when the water is ready.

As for what kind of fate the empress will usher in after being deposed for the past six years, almost everyone knows it.

Therefore, they could never have imagined that now that the accession of King Qin to the throne was a foregone conclusion, there would still be someone who would be loyal to such a doomed emperor and challenge the supreme authority of the Empress Dowager Zhao, who now holds the supreme power of the Great Xia Empire.

Because he was too shocked, for a while, there was not a sound in the court, and the needle fell could be heard.

On the dragon chair, the girl emperor, who has been nominally Yuyu for six years in his twenty-eighth year, suddenly tightened his little hands hidden under the dragon robe, and on his timid little face, a flash of brilliance quietly flashed in his eyes that were originally full of timidity.

At this moment, a cold light condensation suddenly sounded beside him:

"Oh?"

But it was the Empress Dowager Zhao under the bead curtain who opened her mouth.

At this time, when she looked at Lu Chen, there was already an endless coldness in her eyes, as if she was looking at a dead person.

"The palace is old, and the ears are not very good, so I didn't hear clearly, and asked this Qing family to repeat it to the palace."

As he spoke, a terrifying momentum surged out, instantly spreading to every corner of the Taiji Palace.

Lu Chen only felt that his body sank suddenly, the air around him froze, and his body was like a big mountain, which made him a little breathless.

At the same time, a group of henchmen of the Queen Mother stood up one after another, angrily reprimanded Lu Chen, and criticized him verbally, with a posture of wanting to kill him on the spot.

If it was an ordinary Great Xia official, in the face of the terrifying momentum of the Queen Mother, I am afraid that he would have been frightened on the spot at this moment, and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

But Lu Chen gritted his teeth and carried it so hard.

Although the slightly thin body trembled, it looked like it would fall to the ground at any moment.

However, his knees and waist did not bend a single point!

Even though it swayed like a candle in the wind, it never fell.

His face was full of determination, and there was not a trace of wavering.

Suppressed by the invisible terror, he tilted his head with difficulty, ignoring the anger, mockery, or stupid gaze around him, and turned a deaf ear to the shouts of the court bosses.

I saw him open his mouth with great difficulty, and said word by word:

"Minister... Engineering to the middle of the matter... Lu Chen..."

Hearing these extremely difficult but unwilling to give in words, the courtiers who reacted couldn't help but feel numb in their scalps.

Is this young man crazy?

As the saying goes, "I have studied hard for more than ten years in the cold window, and I don't know how many rounds of penance I have been cultivating", after a lot of hardships to add to the official robe, who will be willing to give up this powerful position and the opportunity to gather momentum to become enlightened?

And with the current queen mother's control and prestige over the court, not to mention a small seven-grade department official, even if it is a few scholars in the cabinet, it is just a matter of saying it.

What's more, the emperor is still a puppet with no hope of turning over...... It is not worth allegiance at all.

Just because she personally nominated a jinshi for you during the palace exam, and said a few words of encouragement, you have to smear her liver and brain?

How stupid does this have to be to do such a stupid thing that uses one's future as a child's play?!

Didn't he want this great official body?

In fact, they guessed it right!

The current Lu Chen doesn't want to be an official at all.

The reason why I want to emphasize the word "now" is because he is not actually a genius Confucian who entered high school at a young age, but a time-traveler from the Blue Star.

Yes, traversers.

He is working so hard now, not because he is loyal to the empress, but because after digesting the memories of his predecessor, he accidentally activated a system called "The Way of Being an Official".

Listening to the name, it seems to be a system that can become stronger as long as you are promoted.

But the opposite is true!

This system is like a bug, not only is there no artificial retardation, it can't speak, it can't communicate, and the functional mechanism is very strange.

To put it simply, the reward mechanism is reversed from the promotion system.

As long as he is not promoted and maintains the status quo, he can continue to get stronger.

At the end of the first small cycle before, he directly obtained a Yellow Order Six-Turn Immortal Pill, five Superb Great Returning Pills, and a Muscle Washing and Cutting Pill from the system, and the spiritual veins were also expanded, and the spiritual power in his body was also a little purified, which directly made him, an ordinary person, instantly become a few points stronger than the original owner who had been cultivating for many years.

And if you are demoted, you will be rewarded 100 times directly!

If he is deposed, the system can even directly incarnate into the Great Dao, let him become an immortal on the ground, and the immortal Dao will be the king!

And if you die during your time as an official, you can immediately ascend to immortality, but the cause of death must be related to being an official.

But if you don't have to, who would want to die, if you have a choice, then of course it is more comfortable to be dismissed.

In the current situation, it is not difficult to be dismissed.

Of course, the system also lists many restrictions such as not resigning, not rebelling, and not acting uncharacteristically and illogically.

For example, you can't scold the emperor and hundreds of officials for no reason, and look for death or something for no reason.

But as long as he is dismissed legitimately, he can still be promoted to immortal!

In that case, then be a fart official!

Isn't it fragrant to directly find an opportunity to die this official skin and become an immortal king in an instant?

It's not easy to be promoted, and it's not easy to be demoted?

As the so-called leader sings, I cut the song, the leader picks up the vegetables, I turn the table, and the leader drinks water and I brake...... In short, it's right to do the opposite according to the experience of promotion!

Even if the Queen Mother doesn't want her face and slaughters him directly, it will be blood gain!

Therefore, openly writing to the queen mother to return to power above the court, supporting the empress, and directly offending the queen mother to death is his best choice.

Anyway, the original owner is an incomparably upright person, and foolish loyalty is naturally a matter of course.

Otherwise, why would he be so full to provoke the Queen Mother?

Don't say anything loyal, he is not the original owner, but a modern person who can have a fart loyalty to the empress.

So, under the strong vision for the future, he directly withstood the terrifying momentum of the Queen Mother, and said with great difficulty:

"Minister... I implore the Queen Mother... Don't covet power..."

Seeing him so tenacious, as if he had put life and death aside, desperately loyal to the empress, some of the originally expressionless courtiers quietly flashed a touch of emotion on their poker faces.

And although the empress still looked timid, the little hands hidden under the sleeves were clenched tightly, as if she was enduring something, and her nails were deeply sunk into the flesh without realizing it.

"Heh......"

A familiar sneer sounded on the side, and the empress's heart suddenly tightened.

Sure enough, in the next second, the air around Lu Chen suddenly condensed violently again, and the invisible force that suppressed him instantly increased by several percent.

"Uh-huh!!"

Lu Chen couldn't help but let out a painful snort, and after a moment, a red blood trail slowly flowed down from the corner of his mouth.

Even the courtiers who were watching coldly on the side clearly felt the Queen Mother's Ling Tianfengwei, and the official uniform on her body was windless and automatic, so you can imagine how angry the Queen Mother was at this time.

The courtiers couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts, thinking to themselves, this kid was afraid that he would soon be unable to hold on and fall to the ground.

In their opinion, facing the domineering coercion of the Queen Mother alone, let alone being a small seven-rank official who has just entered the court, even a big man such as the Liubu Shilang may not be able to withstand it.

Looking at Lu Chen, who was struggling to support under the power of the Queen Mother, the empress's breathing couldn't help but be slightly shortened, and her lips were clenched, but her face was still the cowardly look of the past, hiding all her truest thoughts and emotions in the deepest part of her heart.

However, even though the back is as if being pressed down by Tarzan, the skin on the body will not break under this huge force, and the intense pain spreads throughout the body, breathing becomes more and more difficult, and the scene in front of him becomes more and more blurred, but...

Lu Chen never fell!

The shaking of the body is getting bigger and bigger, and the ups and downs of the chest are getting more and more violent.

The bun fell in a shaky way, and the long jet-black hair broke free from its restraints and fell loosely, covering his face.

But he still held on to his body, which was gradually losing consciousness.

I saw him raise his head stiffly, his eyes were full of bloodshots, and the whole person looked extremely miserable, but the pair of blood-red eyes still looked at the Empress Dowager Zhao under the bead curtain with great tenacity, and slowly said words that seemed to be dyed with a layer of blood with all his might:

"Please Queen Mother... Return to Your Majesty... Ann... All the people of the world... Heart......"

The last weak voice stopped abruptly before it fell, and there was no sound again, no matter how the Queen Mother pressed, his body did not move, as if it was completely frozen.

Seeing that he didn't react for a while, the Queen Mother asked a courtier who was closer to him to go up and check.

The courtier stepped forward, shouted a few times in front of Lu Chen, waved his hand again, and found that he still didn't react, so he stretched out his hand to break his long black hair that had been scattered.

When he showed Lu Chen's appearance at this time in front of everyone's eyes, the courtiers couldn't help but gasp, and they were stunned for an instant.

I saw Lu Chen's eyes wide, his bloodshot gaze locked on the bead curtain next to the dragon chair, and he didn't deviate half a point from beginning to end, as if that was the only insistence in his life, and he would never waver.

"The Queen Mother..."

There was a slight tremor in the courtier's voice: "The Queen Mother... He... He fainted......"

Even though he was completely unconscious, his body was still following his extremely powerful will, and he did not give in at all, and stood in place with such tenacity.

For the sake of the empress, he was able to look at the ruler next to the dragon chair who really held the supreme authority of the Great Xia Empire without fear, even if he lost his official position and became a commoner who would never be used, even if he was exiled for thousands of miles!

What loyalty!

Some of the courtiers were completely moved.

The empress's eyes were slightly red, but she quickly regained her original cowardice, and then when the queen mother stood up with an ugly face, she glanced at Lu Chen with extremely deep eyes, and silently imprinted Lu Chen's figure at this time deeply in her heart.
