Chapter 13: Fierce Debate between the DPRK and China

"Ridiculous!"

Lu Chen glared angrily at the senior officials of the Three Law Divisions who kept blowing rainbow farts to Jiang Chengdao, and reprimanded angrily:

"As the chief officer of the three law divisions, you represent the justice of the national law, even if it is a big case, no matter how extensive it is, you must also face the difficulties, you must not shirk, and to ensure that the case is handled fairly, you must not borrow anyone's hands, otherwise what does Your Majesty want you to do with the three law divisions?"

"Moreover, the Holy King of Cangming has been in the Cangming Realm before, has never entered Beijing, and has never participated in the affairs of the DPRK and China, so it is impossible to properly handle this case, why do you think he is qualified to handle this matter on your behalf?"

"It would be a dereliction of duty to put such an important case in the hands of someone who has no trial experience! It's contempt for the law! ”

Speaking of this, he directly raised his hand, pointed at the three of them and scolded: "Are you worthy of the official uniform on your body and the trust of Your Majesty?" ”

"Humph! Ignorant. ”

Shangshu Wang of the Criminal Department snorted coldly and said in a deep voice:

"People have self-knowledge, do everything according to their ability, and do it knowing that they can't do it, this is stupid! This case is too complicated, the identity of the perpetrator is extremely special, only a person with high authority and both ability and integrity can ensure that the case is handled without fail, although I don't want to admit it, but at present, among the three legal divisions, there is indeed no such outstanding person, and now the only ones who are qualified to try such a big case are His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Holy King. ”

"And as Li Shaoqing said, Your Majesty is still young, and since he succeeded to the throne, he has been controlled by the demon queen controlled by evil for six years, and has little contact with government affairs.

Xie Hongyun also turned his head, glanced at Lu Chen contemptuously, and then said:

"What Wang Shangshu said is extremely true, Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Holy King must not pay attention to such ignorant and wild words, although according to the laws of Great Xia, His Royal Highness the Holy King does not have the right to accept this case, and there is no precedent, but in extraordinary times, you should do extraordinary things, and you can't blindly stick to the rules."

"The demon queen has been in charge of the dynasty for six years, and now the chaos in Daxia is rampant, natural disasters are gradually appearing, the people are miserable, and the wild alien races are frequent, and the Western Regions all countries look at the wolf, at this time, we need a Wen Neng to put pen to the world, Wu can go to the horse to determine the world, and the genius of the world who has both ability and political integrity, lead me and other Zhongxing Daxia, otherwise, if you are as conformist as in the past, you don't know how to be flexible, even if the demon queen is defeated, it will be difficult for me to return to the prosperity of the first emperor, and even the country is turbulent, and the consequences are unpredictable!"

As he spoke, his face suddenly became extremely solemn, and he raised his voice and said: "His Royal Highness the Holy King did not hesitate to attack Luojing by surprise, smash the conspiracy of the Demon Queen, and destroy all his henchmen, save His Majesty from fire and water, and help the people from ......hanging upside down."

The deep voice resounded throughout the Taiji Palace, every word and every sentence was a praise for Jiang Chengdao, but it did not mention why he led troops into Beijing for no reason, and why he disrespected the emperor so much.

"Who can turn the tide and support the building in the future, except for His Royal Highness the Holy King?"

Speaking of this, he suddenly bowed down and said solemnly to the empress: "His Royal Highness the Holy King is both military and virtuous, and he is the best candidate to deal with this case. ”

As soon as the words fell, nearly half of the imperial history behind him leaned over at the same time.

"I beg Your Majesty to hand over this case to His Highness the Holy King!"

"I beg Your Majesty to hand over this case to His Highness the Holy King!"

There are bigwigs taking the lead, and naturally some people follow suit.

Nearly half of the courtiers of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department leaned over at the same time, asking the empress to allow them to invite.

The other half, although his face was a little pale, still gritted his teeth and stood in place without any expression.

After years of hard study, the conscience in their hearts made it impossible for them to be as crazy as those colleagues to show favor to King Cangming, but at the same time, reason also made it difficult for them to take a step forward and criticize Lu Chen together.

As a result, they were 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 to play with contempt.

But no one stood up to take a stand.

And seeing that they were so "shameless", Lu Chen's eyes suddenly "widened with anger", and even his breathing became more and more rapid, his chest rose and fell violently, and he looked extremely angry.

"Shameless!"

He shouted violently, as if he had lost his mind, and pointed at Xie Hongyun and the others and scolded angrily: "As a courtier of Shenghe, you are so incorruptible and shameless, in front of Your Majesty, you have no bottom line to flatter a powerful minister with wolf ambitions!" ”

Hearing this, Jiang Chengdao raised his eyebrows slightly, staring at the figure below who would fight for the empress even if he fought alone, and said secretly in his heart:

'It's 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 a wolf for his ambition, he looked at Lu Chen more and more pleasing to the eye.

After all, his current role is indeed a powerful minister with wolf ambitions, and this is also the plan that the empress discussed with him at the beginning.

Because, she needs to rightfully sweep away some moths that do not lead to death.

'It is worthy of being the [Supreme] who was chosen by the jade seal, and before he was officially pro-government, he was assisted by such a loyal minister, this luck... It's so jealous......

While thinking about it, Lu Chen was full of fire below, angrily reprimanding those courtiers who praised Jiang Chengdao, and at the same time openly and secretly pointed out that King Cangming had a disobedient heart and was disrespectful to His Majesty.

Although everyone knows this kind of thing, they also tacitly believe that Jiang Chengdao is a powerful minister with bad intentions.

But it's one thing to know, it's another thing to find out.

Now there is some tacit understanding between the courtiers and Jiang Chengdao, and if someone directly picks it out at this time, it is basically equivalent to provoking Jiang Chengdao.

Therefore, in the eyes of the courtiers, Lu Chen had already offended the Holy King of Cangming to death.

If there is no accident, either today or tomorrow, Lu Chen will be frantically retaliated against by the Cangming Holy King, who has now replaced the Empress Dowager Zhao and become the actual ruler of the new Great Xia Dynasty.

Didn't you see that Jiang Chengdao's eyes under the armor were getting colder and colder.

In the face of Lu Chen's accusation, Li Zheng smiled contemptuously without care.

"Lu Zhi's matter is not to spew blood, His Royal Highness the Holy King has worked tirelessly, personally led the army into Beijing from the Cangming Realm thousands of miles away to rescue the driver, and killed the demon queen who poisoned the common people for the sake of the government, such a great achievement, it is definitely worthy of the word 'national soldier', we just respect the Holy King from the bottom of our hearts, how can we say flattery?"

Xie Hongyun continued: "Moreover, you don't have to forget about Lu Qi, if the Holy King hadn't arrived in time, you would have been deposed by the Demon Queen, how could you still make such a big fuss as now?" ”

Wang Zhi waved his long sleeves vigorously, and said in a deep voice: "What Lord Xie said is right, before Lu Zhishi slandered me for being unfaithful and unjust, I might as well take a look at what kind of goods I am, obviously His Royal Highness the Holy King has a great favor to you, and it doesn't matter if you are not grateful to Dade, but he also slandered His Royal Highness the Holy King who has made great contributions to the court has a heart of disobedience, isn't this behavior a revenge?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen didn't think about it, so he said with a disdainful face:

"Even if you are persecuted by the Queen Mother, what if you lose this official body? If I can't be loyal to Your Majesty, I don't want this official body! So where does this kindness begin? In this world, there is only one person who has a great benefactor to me, except for Your Majesty, no matter who it is, whether it is a holy king or a scholar, I will only treat everyone equally, and I will never grovel because of who is high and powerful. ”

After a pause, Lu Chen arched his hand to the empress again, then looked at Jiang Chengdao, looked at him without fear, and said solemnly:

"Those who will be honored in this life are the only ones who gave birth to me and raised me, and Your Majesty!"

That's right, Lao Tzu is a diehard loyalist of the empress, and it is impossible to betray the empress in this life!

Even if she's just a puppet emperor at the mercy of others!

Therefore, let me be dismissed as a foolish man who does not know the times, so as not to be an eyesore.
