As the massive amount of evidence investigated by Xuan Jiwei was presented in front of the courtiers, Lu Chen's crime of stabbing King Yu and provoking the majesty of the royal family was revealed.

As for the issue of killing King Yu first and getting the evidence later, no one dared to mention it at this time.

The empress was obviously defending Lu Chen.

said that there was no partiality, but in fact, what was going on was actually clear in everyone's hearts, and when the empress was determined to protect Lu Chen to death, and she also had a certain reason, it was almost no different from looking for death.

Jiang Xu is not stupid.

If King Yu hadn't done these stupid things, he could still ask Lu Chen to be killed on the grounds that he ignored the majesty of the royal family and had no reverence for the Heavenly Family.

But King Yu had the audacity to move the official warehouse and commit this conspiracy, and he was also investigated by Xuanjiwei, so the situation was completely different.

After all, the Emperor of Heaven and Earth is the greatest.

King Yu said that Potian is just a prince, and no matter how noble he is, he can't be compared with the emperor.

Whoever touches the great sin of treason will die.

So Jiang Xu and the others had no choice but to quit and retreat, and they didn't dare to say anything more about this matter.

The empress's impression of them was already quite bad, and it was obviously more important to ease the empress's attitude than to bring down Lu Chen.

That's how it was qualitated.

Lu Chen is not only innocent, but he has meritorious service in punishing the thief, and when Xiao Yun completely calms down the flood and returns to the court, he will discuss the merits and rewards together.

After setting the tone, everyone shouted that His Majesty was wise, and only Lu Chen was so depressed that he wanted to die.

'Forget it, I can't do it, Lao Tzu still has a plan. ’

Lu Chen shook his head, calmed down, and then when the eunuch was about to announce the end of the early dynasty, he suddenly came out of the crowd.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do."

As soon as the words fell, some of the courtiers looked at them suspiciously.

The matter in Yuzhou has just ended, what else can happen to this goods?

The Empress straightened up.

"Lu Qing, please speak."

Lu Chen held the wat board with both hands and bowed slightly towards the empress.

"Your Majesty, regarding the rebellion of Gu Simiao, the governor of Huangzhou, Weichen thinks that it is too hasty to make a conclusion now, and he cannot be hastily defined as a traitor before there is enough real evidence and Gu Simiao has no clear rebellion."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

After reacting, their faces couldn't help but be a little weird.

Gu Simiao shouldn't be directly defined as a traitor?

Is this product in Yuzhou drenched by the torrential rain and damaged his brain?

Actually talking about such a sure thing, speaking for a traitor who is obviously preparing to follow the demon queen to counterattack the imperial court.

This Gu Simiao is the future nephew of the demon queen, and the demon queen took care of her when she was in power.

It's okay to be afraid of being implicated by the fall of the demon queen, or to thank the demon queen for her kindness.

Such a close relationship is already very telling.

And the empress didn't give her a chance, the Gu family's ten days of cutting time was enough time, but Gu Simiao still hadn't moved at all until now.

What's more, the empress is most afraid of the demon queen now, and it is impossible to tolerate the traitors who betray the court and follow the demon queen.

Thinking of this, everyone subconsciously looked at the empress on the dragon chair.

The empress frowned slightly, and looked at Lu Chen below in puzzlement.

She couldn't understand why Lu Chen cared about Gu Simiao.

At this time, without waiting for the empress to speak, Liu Dongyang stood up with a frown.

"Lu Zhishi, Gu Simiao not only refused the imperial court's orders three times and twice, refused to return to Beijing to participate in the New Yuan Dynasty, but also personally welcomed the demon queen into the famine, and treated such a poisonous woman who brought disaster to the country and the people, so contemptuous of the imperial court and ignored His Majesty's rebellion, isn't it enough to show that she has rebellious intentions and plots against her?"

"Outside the general, the military order is not subject to it."

Lu Chen said lightly: "Gu Simiao, as the governor of Wasteland, is the supreme commander of the defense side of Great Xia, naturally everything must be based on the safety of Great Xia, and the overall situation is the priority, I am far away in Luojing, I don't know what the specific situation of Wasteland is, and there is no way to judge whether Gu Simiao's seemingly rebellious actions on the surface have other meanings." ”

"Therefore, I think that before the matter is completely understood, the court should not make a decision, so as not to cause irreparable consequences."

These words obviously couldn't convince Liu Dongyang, but made his brows furrow deeper.

"Don't mess around with Lu Zhi, the Cangling Army has been moving frequently recently, and Gu Simiao's rebellious heart is clearly revealed......

However, before he could finish speaking, Lu Chen interrupted strongly: "Dare to ask Liu Shangshu, does Gu Simiao have any attack on the imperial court?" ”

Liu Dongyang's face sank, but he still said on a case-by-case basis: "Not for the time being, but that's just because the demon queen is accumulating strength, and this is not the best time to send troops." ”

Lu Chen said again: "Then has she changed the flag?" Blatantly playing flags such as the side of the Qing monarch? ”

"No, but that's probably because she wants to paralyze the court......"

"It's just your guess."

Lu Chen said indifferently: "Without real evidence, you can't make judgments, Liu Shangshu, you can guess that Gu Simiao intends to rebel, and you can also guess that these actions of hers have other deep meanings, but it is just inconvenient to reveal them for various reasons." ”

"After all, it is not surprising that the demon queen can escape from the hands of His Royal Highness the Holy King, and she has any unpredictable means."

"Ridiculous!"

Liu Dongyang said coldly: "Even if the old man doesn't have real evidence, the speculation is based on all kinds of counter-images shown by Gu Simiao, but Lu Qishi is a guess out of thin air, and there is no argument at all, where can you start talking about the deep meaning?"

"Yes."

"What?"

Lu Chen said calmly: "I never believe in opening the river, since I dare to say so, there is naturally a basis." ”

Liu Dongyang was a little surprised.

He thought about it carefully, but he couldn't figure out what was worth digging into Gu Simiao's actions.

"What is the basis for daring to ask Lu Qi?"

Everyone looked at Lu Chen with curiosity, they couldn't figure it out, Gu Simiao's objection was already so obvious, and betraying the imperial court was already a certainty.

Obviously, he was determined to follow the demon queen, and he even did not hesitate to abandon his family for this.

What else can this be reversed?

In the strange eyes of everyone, Lu Chen said slowly: "Gu Simiao saved my next life. ”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Lu Chen in disbelief.

That's it?

What kind of reason is this? Why did you save your life and assume that she would not betray the court?

You're really fucking favoritism, aren't you?

Or the unabashed kind!

Although they were surprised that Lu Chen, who had just stepped into the officialdom, would have such a relationship with Gu Simiao, who had been famous for a long time, they were even more surprised that Lu Chen would tell this secret in such a sensitive manner.

And he dared to openly intercede for Gu Simiao and the Gu family.

This man is really brave!

At this time, Qian Yiqian, the secretary of the Criminal Department, who had not spoken, suddenly said lightly: "It turns out that Lu gave the matter to repay Gu Simiao's life-saving grace."

Lu Chen didn't even look at him, and continued: "Gu Simiao once said when he rescued Zaixia, if he insisted on repaying his kindness, if he was lucky enough to join the government in the future, he would be a good official who was loyal to the monarch and served the country and dedicated to the people. ”

Hearing this, Fang Cai just frowned, and Liu Dongyang, who didn't speak immediately, didn't know what he thought, and his face quickly showed a sudden look.

"Lu Qishi, do you mean that the person who can say this must have the common people in his heart and will never betray the imperial court?"

Lu Chen nodded.

"Exactly."

"Innocent!"

But it was Zheng Zhong who stood up.

"The most difficult thing in this world to understand is the human heart, you must know that people will change, today is upright, tomorrow may be because of something and abandon the righteousness, when she saved you, she may be as righteous as Lu gave you to say, but after becoming the general of the Pillar State and commanding the 700,000 Cangling Army in charge of the Wasteland, the upright and kind life-saving benefactor in your heart is probably dead."

Lu Chen raised his eyes.

"Believe her."

Qian Yiqian said coldly: "What if she is really as Zheng Shilang said, losing her loyalty and betraying the court?" ”

Lu Chen seemed to be angered by his raising of the bar, and said directly without hesitation under impulse: "I am willing to use my life as a guarantee for Gu Simiao, if he betrays the court, I am willing to ambush him together!"

The sonorous and powerful words resounded throughout the Taiji Hall.

Like a violent wind, it set off a storm in the hearts of everyone.

Qian Yiqian was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Above the temple, below the Holy Monarch, don't speak falsely." ”

"I never lie in my words."

Lu Chen said, and suddenly arched his hand towards the empress.

"Your Majesty, the Gu family has been loyal and good for generations, Gu Simiao has guarded the barren state for several years, annihilated countless foreign races, and made great achievements for the imperial court, and made great contributions to the court, such a meritorious hero, the imperial court must not add a sword and axe to his clan because there is no real evidence for speculation, otherwise, if Gu Simiao is sincere to the imperial court, intending to eradicate the huge disaster of the demon queen for the imperial court in one fell swoop, how should we deal with ourselves at that time?"

Speaking of this, he bowed down again and said solemnly:

"In the matter of Huangzhou, the minister does not object to the imperial court mobilizing heavy troops to guard against the unexpected, it is related to the danger of the country, no matter how careful he is, he can't be too careful, but please give Gu Simiao some more time to prove himself."

When the words fell, everyone immediately looked up at the empress.

In their opinion, Lu Chen, relying on his grace, actually did this to a courtier who was very likely to be rebellious for the sake of selfishness, which was too pampered and arrogant.

Will the empress let him mess around?

The twelve jade rays under the crown of heaven moved.

In the next second, a calm voice slowly sounded in everyone's ears-

"Quasi-play."
