As Xuanwu Wei captured the last rebel clan into the heavenly prison, the blood that had been permeating Luojing City for half a month finally dissipated on the last day of the sixth year of Shenghe.

The gates of the city were wide open, and all kinds of prohibitions and restrictions were lifted.

The once prosperous city of Luojing began to regain its vitality.

In this bloody change of power, although the people tremble every day, they have not suffered any substantial losses.

After all, the Cangming army is not a secular army, they are highly disciplined, and they have a very high degree of obedience to Jiang Chengdao, the holy king of Cangming.

Xuanwuwei's handling of cases in Beijing is not as barbaric as Xiuyiwei, and when he catches the demon queen's henchmen and the rebel family who do not have Daxia in their hearts, it will not affect the surrounding people.

Soon, the people found out that although the turmoil in Luojing was very large, it actually had nothing to do with them.

There are no rebels and robbers who took advantage of the chaos to rush into their homes to rob food and livestock, and even had evil thoughts about the female dependents of the family, but Xuanwuwei has been maintaining order, so that those scoundrels who are restless on weekdays do not dare to make the slightest difference.

As time passed, the people's fears gradually dissipated, and they became more and more accepting of the existence of the Cangming Army.

As soon as the ban was lifted, they couldn't wait to get back to work.

While the people resumed production, the imperial court also began to operate normally.

On the last day of the sixth year of Shenghe, the Great Dynasty Meeting was held normally.

The first thing announced was to change the yuan.

Shenghe is the name of the era taken by the Empress Dowager Zhao, and it is one of the signs of humiliation of the empress, and now the empress finally overthrew the Empress Dowager Zhao and was able to take power in person, so naturally she will not continue to use this era name that symbolizes the humiliation of the past.

The empress personally announced loudly: Change the Yuan Yongchu and give amnesty to the world!

In the wave of shouting long live from the mountains below, the empress's despair, humiliation, anger, forbearance, and weakness have all become a thing of the past.

The Empress raised her hand, and the void pressed.

The Tai Chi Hall suddenly became audible with pins dropping.

After the announcement of the change, the next thing to be done is to reward meritorious deeds.

This time, the greatest credit for the overthrow of the Empress Dowager Zhao is undoubtedly the Cangming Holy King and the Cangming Army under his command.

Thousands of miles to Beijing, after destroying the demons, eliminating the unsubordinate, saving the empress from fire and water, such a monstrous achievement, the empress will naturally not treat them badly.

However, the Cangming Saint King himself is a special existence above the king, and the high-ranking officials and titles are meaningless to him at all, and they are basically unsealable.

The true benefit of the Saint King lies in the Cangming Sacred Realm.

So the empress exchanged the regular rewards for policies and a large number of materials that were beneficial to the Cangming Holy Realm, and crowned the [Heavenly Pillar Kingdom], an exclusive title above the Eight Great Pillar Kingdoms, to Jiang Chengdao, giving him supreme honor and status.

In this regard, Jiang Chengdao naturally received the order of gratitude with a thousand thanks.

The rest of the generals of the Cangming Army also received varying degrees of rewards, and some directly filled the vacancy in the Governor's Mansion.

Of course, this is all the result of Jiang Chengdao's instructions, otherwise, as the generals of the Cangming Army, with their sense of belonging to the Cangming Realm and their loyalty to the Holy King, it is impossible to accept the imperial court.

After the military merit was awarded, a series of civil officials were officially appointed.

And the first appointment turned out to be not the appointment of two new university scholars, but the intention of a five-rank official.

That's right, it is the appointment of Lu Chen as the official of the Ministry of Officials to test the merits of the Qing Officials, as well as the holy decree of rewarding a thousand taels of gold, a hundred tilts of the spiritual field and various heavenly and earthly treasures!

Only his appointment and Jiang Chengdao's reward were announced by a holy decree alone, which shows the empress's attention and favor to him.

When the eunuch read the decree aloud, the courtiers were immediately envious.

At this time, they have fully understood that the empress has always been cowardly and cowardly, just to bring down the Empress Dowager Zhao's disguise, the real city is very deep, and wise and decisive, with the style of a hero.

Even a scheming and ruthless character like Empress Dowager Zhao was overturned by her in a desperate situation with an absolute advantage, which shows how powerful the girl emperor on the dragon chair who has been despised by them for six years is.

You must know that when she was pushed to the throne by Empress Dowager Zhao, who had completely controlled the court, she was only ten years old!

It is foreseeable that the empress, who is backed by the heavenly tree of the Cangming Holy Realm, must have extremely strong control over the entire Great Xia.

To be favored by such a powerful emperor, what kind of happiness is it for a courtier?

Many courtiers began to ponder how to make friends with Lu Chen, and it was best to get into a relationship.

And the two scholars who were about to enter the Third Pavilion were furrowed after listening to the content of the holy decree, especially after hearing the hype of Lu Chen inside, but they were tightly frowning, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed on their cloudy old faces.

Not only them, but the "celebrities" who were invited back from the exile by the empress to take up important positions like them also had a strange face, obviously a little dissatisfied with the empress's high-profile favor of a newcomer who had just joined the office.

Even with it, he was inexplicably disgusted with Lu Chen.

But they didn't stand up against it.

With the full support of the Holy King of Cangming, the empress has completely controlled the imperial court, as the so-called new officials take office with three fires, and the emperor will openly oppose the decree issued by the emperor when he first takes charge of the court, and will openly oppose it and challenge the majesty of the emperor.

It was not easy for them to return to the court, and they could not directly clash with the emperor.

How about making that guy proud for a while?

What they have is the means to expel these lucky people from the court.

Let's see what the future is.

However, in the eyes of the ministers, Lu Chen, who was so favored by His Majesty and should have been complacent, was so angry that his face turned green at this time.

Promotion? Positive five products?

And he is also the Lang official of the Ministry of Officials?

You're poisonous, aren't you?

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Chen directly raised his steps, crossed the two colleagues next to him, and walked to the red carpet in the middle.

"Your Majesty, no!"

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were shocked.

What's the situation?

Without waiting for everyone to react, Lu Chen raised his voice and said: "Weichen thinks that his ability is mediocre, he has only been in the office for a season, and he knows everything about government affairs, and he doesn't even have the most basic cognition, how can he take on this important position?" ”

As he spoke, he paused slightly, then raised his voice inexplicably, and continued: "And since Weichen took office in the engineering department, he has not made outstanding political achievements, and he has not made an inch, so His Majesty should not boast about it like this, and please ask Your Majesty to withdraw his life and choose another virtuous person to take on this important position!" ”

Hearing this, everyone was so shocked that they couldn't speak.

They never thought that the person who stood up against the empress and rewarded Lu Chen so generously was Lu Chen himself!

This is a fifth-level official promotion, and it is also an important position in the ministry!

Just refused?!

And at the risk of angering the empress, he openly rejected the empress's kindness in the court?

In this world, is there really such a selfless and dedicated person?

Is he really not afraid that he will evil the empress because he doesn't know how to lift?

For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through the courtier's mind.

The courtiers who were the first to react were full of doubts and puzzles, and they really couldn't figure out why Lu Chen refused this great good thing.

Not only the ministers, but even the empress had a feeling that her brain was insufficient.

What's wrong? You're still not happy to give you a promotion?

Looking at Lu Chen, who was standing in the center of the hall with a resolute face, the words he had just said echoed in his mind, and the empress didn't know how to react for a while, and she was speechless for a long time.
