Chapter 14 Loyal Liver and Righteous Courage Lu Huaiyu
While making a generous statement, Lu Chen thought beautifully in his heart, expressing his attitude + provocation, he should have completely offended the Cangming Holy King to death now.
If he is not cleaned up as an emperor who dares to challenge the authority of the ministers, the prestige of the Holy King of Cangming may be damaged, and if he does not have enough prestige, he will be easily despised by hundreds of officials, and it will be difficult to control the court.
Therefore, in order to ensure his supreme authority, there is a high probability that the Cangming Holy King will take immediate action to drive him out of the court.
Anyway, the empress is a puppet emperor, and casually the Holy King of Cangming rubs the circle and flattens it, and it is not his word to remove anyone?
However, just when he was complacent about his acting skills, the little hand under the sleeve of the empress sitting high on the dragon chair suddenly tightened.
The originally weak disguise quietly revealed a flaw for a moment.
Under the twelve jade rays, Lu Chen's gaze was tightly locked, and there was a faint hint of softness.
At the same time, the corners of Jiang Chengdao's mouth, hidden under the visor, also slowly outlined a meaningful smile.
Should we say that fools are blessed with fools, or that those who are loyal and righteous must be blessed by God......
This kid, even if he has limited qualifications and can't become Wang Zuozhicai, he will definitely be able to become the most trusted person of the imperial sister.
It will be very expensive in the future......
After all, as the saying goes, the horsepower of the road has been popular for a long time, and the icing on the cake cannot be compared to sending charcoal in the snow in any case.
Since Lu Chen can still abide by the courtiers when the emperor is in a desperate situation, he only has the emperor and the court in his eyes, and he has no two hearts, which is enough to prove that he is a rare loyal minister.
Although he is already a holy king, Jiang Chengdao is from the royal family after all, and he has a natural good impression of loyal and righteous people, and when he saw that his sister Jiang Chengwan had such a desperate courtier, he subconsciously gave birth to a trace of envy.
I wonder why he didn't meet such a good courtier when he was still a prince......
After thinking about it, he can only blame it on the destiny of Jiang Chengwan and not him.
Compared with the two actor-level royal families on the high platform, the courtiers below had different faces after hearing Lu Chen's words.
Courtiers such as Li Zheng, Xie Hongyun and Wang Zhi naturally looked at each other with mockery, obviously looking down on Lu Chen, a foolish and loyal person who did not know the times.
And on the faces of the courtiers who did not stand up with them and take the initiative to show favor to Jiang Chengdao, the original hesitation of the dilemma struggled even more violently, obviously fighting between heaven and man in their hearts.
More courtiers were slightly moved on their faces, and they couldn't help but turn their heads and look at Lu Chen, who was firmly loyal to the empress and angrily reprimanded the Three Law Divisions and the Cangming Holy King.
A loyal courtier like Lu Chen, you can call him stupid, say that he doesn't know how to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, and don't understand the way to be an official, but you can't say that he is wrong.
After all, loyalty and righteousness are the noble character that the people of Yanxia have praised for generations, and whoever says that Lu Chen is wrong is to deny the inheritance of Yanxia.
This is a matter of principle, who touches and who dies.
Li Zheng and the three of them are all old oilmen in the officialdom, so naturally they will not make such a low-level mistake and confront him on the moral high ground occupied by Lu Chen.
People can already and pee at will on the moral high ground, and it's completely self-inflicting hardship.
However, since Lu Chen dared to openly state that he was the empress's diehard loyalist in front of so many people, there was no need for them to talk nonsense with him anymore.
As a high-ranking official of the court, why bother with a waste who is destined to be expelled from the court?
So Li Zheng smiled happily, and then said with a "look of reverence":
"Lu is loyal and unparalleled, and I admire it."
Xie Hongyun also accosted: "Lu Qishi's loyalty to His Majesty can be learned from heaven and earth, and he is willing to bow to the wind." โ
On the surface, he was praising Lu Chen, but in fact, he was arching the fire in front of the Holy King of Cangming, just to pit Lu Chen to death.
In their opinion, the more ruthlessly they praised Lu Chen, and the more they recognized Lu Chen's loyalty, the more jealous the Holy King of Cangming became towards Lu Chen, and even asked the empress on the spot to issue an order to expel this fool who did not know the current affairs from the court and never use it.
Otherwise, why keep this obscure and loyal person? Chinese New Year?
"Humph!"
As if to comply with their expectations, Jiang Chengdao snorted coldly at the right time.
"I really didn't expect that there would be such a brave and loyal person in the world as Lu Zhishi, but this king has seen it."
As soon as these words came out, Li Zheng and the others suddenly smiled.
Cangming Saint King's words are basically equivalent to announcing Lu Chen's fate in advance.
Dare to show loyalty to the emperor in front of the ministers, isn't this a lantern in the toilet?
Is it true that people came to Luojing from thousands of miles to help the empress regain power?
"Don't talk about him left and right."
Lu Chen didn't give everyone face at all, and said coldly: "Such a shocking case, Wei Chen thinks that only according to the laws of Daxia, it will be handed over to the three law divisions for trial, and it must not be dealt with by others, otherwise where is the majesty of the imperial court?" โ
As he spoke, he puffed up his chest and looked at Jiang Chengdao without retreating, and the moment his eyes met, he spoke again and said solemnly:
"His Royal Highness the Holy King, I am grateful to you for leading the army into Beijing to clear the demon queen and the party, saving Your Majesty from fire and water, but one yard is one yard, no matter what, Your Majesty is the co-lord of the world, and the Holy King is just a courtier, a minister, you should be loyal to the king and serve the country, abide by your duty, and you can't exceed half a point."
Hearing this, Jiang Chengdao couldn't help but squint his eyes.
"Oh? Is Lu Zhishi accusing the king of trespassing? โ
At the same time as the words fell, a majestic power surged out from Jiang Chengdao's body, covering the entire Taiji Hall in an instant.
Everyone only felt that the air around them instantly froze, and even breathing became a little difficult.
Such a powerful power, even stronger than the Queen Mother's Ling Tianfengwei!
Is this the power of the strongest man in the world who can control the power of the holy relic...... It's terrifying!
The indiscriminate coercion made everyone's breathing stagnate suddenly, and Lu Chen was naturally no exception.
But he was just like Ling Tianfengwei who faced the Queen Mother before, and his expression did not waver in the slightest.
"That's right."
He gritted his teeth and said in a trembling voice: "In my opinion, when His Royal Highness the Holy King made a speech to His Majesty, between his words, he did not have the slightest respect for His Majesty, but had the intention of persecution. โ
Hearing this, the smile on Jiang Chengdao's face became even stronger.
"Not to mention whether this king has the intention of persecuting His Majesty, if this king is really like this, what should Lu Qi do?"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the courtiers suddenly changed.
๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ
They never imagined that Jiang Chengdao would say such a thing.
Nima, I can't act anymore, is it so arrogant?!
You must know that logically speaking, there is a process in the middle of the hero's seizure of power and the final step to the sky.
Occupying the capital, executing the empress dowager and her party, deterring the ministers and officials, controlling the court, and even changing the emperor are all regarded as the routine operations of the heroes to seize power, but they do not hide their ambitions as soon as they become powerful ministers......
Even though what he just said was what if, it seemed like a joke, but who would take that as a joke?
Who would dare to joke with such a thing?
But when they thought of Jiang Chengdao's identity, they were relieved.
After all, before Jiang Chengdao, there had never been a precedent for a holy king to interfere in the affairs of a secular dynasty, and their past cognition was not applicable to the first holy king in history to become a hero.
It can only be said that he is worthy of being the Holy King, one of the strongest people in Middle-earth with the power of the supreme Holy Spirit, and he is so different as an ambitious hero.
After Lu Chen heard Jiang Chengdao, he was also instinctively stunned.
After reacting, he couldn't help but be ecstatic.
The more arrogant and domineering Jiang Chengdao is, the more he can't tolerate an existence like him who dares to challenge his authority.
The more beneficial it is for him, who is desperate to be dismissed.
However, although Lu Chen was extremely excited in his heart, on the surface, his expression was extremely heavy.
When it comes to acting, he thinks he won't lose to anyone.
I saw him clench his fists, grit his teeth, and say word by word:
"As the so-called lord humiliates the minister, no matter what, I will not sit idly by and watch anyone disrespect His Majesty! Even if everyone submits to the authority of the Holy King, even if everyone in the world betrays Your Majesty, you will never abandon Your Majesty! โ
Speaking of this, Lu Chen suddenly raised his head and said impassionedly:
"Unless I am not in the court, otherwise, as long as there is me Lu Huaiyu in the court for a day, I will never disgrace Your Majesty!"
The moment the words fell, Jiang Chengwan only felt that her breathing suddenly stagnated, and something indescribable seemed to be surging out of her chest, making her let out a heavy gasp inexplicably.
She gently raised her hand and pressed it on her chest, which was rising and falling more violently, and looked straight at Lu Chen.
After a moment, she opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something.
And yet, at this momentโ
Bang!!
In the distance, in the direction of the city gate, with a loud sound that shook the sky, a dazzling burst of fire rose into the sky, dyeing the sky there red in an instant.
Like a blooming red lotus that destroys the world, it is bright and evil.
