"People are like that, they change with the environment, the things they experience, and so on."

Liu Dongyang picked up the teacup, took a sip lightly, and then said indifferently: "For example, if you give things to Lu, before you met Gu Simiao, you were probably just a mediocre cultivator, but after meeting her, being rescued by her and making a promise to help the world and the people, you will grow step by step into the person you are today." ”

"Otherwise, you may be like other mediocre people, with full ambition to enter the office, but you lose your heart in all kinds of temptations and battles, and finally be dyed in various colors in the big dye vat of officialdom, completely lose your heart, and live a mediocre life."

Speaking of this, his gaze at Lu Chen gradually revealed a sense of solemnity.

"The old man doesn't know what Gu Simiao has experienced, but it is certain that she is no longer the sage who has the world in your mind in Lu Qishi, and since she is not Gu Simiao who saved you, why should you worry about her affairs?"

Hearing this, Fang Ping couldn't help but glance at him.

"Liu Shangshu is reasonable."

After retracting his gaze, he looked straight at Lu Chen, and said in a gentle voice: "Lu Zhishi, the Gu Simiao in your mind who is for the country and the people, may have died as early as when she married Zhao Feifei and climbed to the power of the Queen Mother, and now Gu Simiao in the eyes of the world is just a selfish villain, you don't have to be too entangled, take the teachings of Gu Simiao in your mind before her death, keep in mind your promise to her, and be yourself as always." ”

"In this way, it will not be in vain for her to save your life, and by the way, you can also accumulate merit for her and repay her for saving her life."

After a pause, he added:

"Although you fell for some ill-intentioned treacherous calculations this time, and made a mistake on impulse, fortunately it did not cause bad results, and you are still young in Lu Qishi, young people are inevitably arrogant, and it is easy to act rashly."

"Your Majesty is wise and martial, and you have always been valued by letters, and you are regarded as an important minister of the auxiliary country in the future, as long as you admit your mistake to Your Majesty a little and reflect on it, Your Majesty will not be embarrassed by you."

Hearing this, Xiao Yi on the side suddenly gave Fang Ping a thumbs up in his heart.

In the early days, when they heard the emergency reports from Suzhou and other places, they were not only anxious about the war, but also worried that Lu Chen would be devastated after hearing the news, so they deliberately took advantage of Lu Chen's housewarming to come over to enlighten him.

As for Liu Dongyang's coming, it was unexpected.

However, looking at the other party's appearance, it was obvious that he had a love for Lu Chen, and he couldn't bear to see such a rare and valuable minister leave the court, so he rushed to comfort Lu Chen like them.

At this time, Lu Chen's heart was as if he had been trampled by 10,000 grass and mud horses, and he was extremely depressed.

What's wrong?

Lao Tzu entertains you with delicious food and drink, and when you are full of food and drink, you will block Lao Tzu?

I thank you so much for your comfort and advice!

After the three of them finished speaking, the other few people also persuaded them one after another.

They didn't have any special thoughts, they just respected Lu Chen.

After six years of chaos in the queen mother's government, there are really not many direct ministers in the court like Lu Chen who do not care about their own bodies and are dedicated to the public.

In the face of one sincere persuasion after another, although Lu Chen complained wildly in his heart, he couldn't help but have a trace of different thoughts in his heart.

Waiting until everyone's words fell, Lu Chen was silent for a while before slowly raising his head.

"I'm sorry."

He stood up and bowed his hands to the crowd.

"I still think that there may be another hidden truth in the matter of the wasteland, and Miss Gu is definitely not the kind of treacherous villain who cares about the world for her own selfishness."

Hearing him say this, Liu Dongyang and Fang Ping couldn't help but stare at each other.

How can this young man be so stubborn, bent on going his own way, and not listening to people's advice......

Xiao Yi couldn't help but sigh after a short pause.

"Huaiyu, why are you so troubled......

It's not that he doesn't believe Lu Chen, but he doesn't believe Gu Simiao, who has no contact with him except for saving their lives in the first place.

Lu Chen smiled bitterly.

"I'm sorry, Brother Ruo, no matter what, I have to personally confirm whether Miss Gu has really changed, or the evidence is ironclad, so I have to believe it, otherwise, I will never believe that she will betray the court and provoke disputes in the world for her own selfish interests."

As he spoke, he suddenly turned his head, looked at Fang Ping and Liu Dongyang, and said solemnly: "Liu Shangshu, Fang Du Yushi, the kindness of the two of them, I have received it in my heart, but the ancient saying goes: Since ancient times, there has been death, and people have no faith and cannot stand." ”

"If you look away, then Miss Gu is really a traitor and traitor, and she will definitely be willing to be punished for the same crime as she said in the court that day, even if Your Majesty forgives her in the past."

"Even if it is death, I, Lu Huaiyu, do not want to betray my trust and steal my life!"

Hearing the words, feeling the unshakable firmness in these sonorous and powerful words, everyone was moved.

can actually sacrifice his life to win trust.

Lu Huaiyu, a true gentleman!

Throughout the ages, how many people can be so loyal, righteous, benevolent, and courageous?

How fortunate it is to meet such a great husband today?!

Even Liu Dongyang, a famous man and sage who has been famous for a long time, couldn't help but tremble lightly with his hands holding the teacup.

At this time, in his opinion, although Lu Chen is still a stunned young man, he doesn't know how to be flexible at all, and he doesn't know the truth that the future is long, the overall situation is important, and he keeps a useful body to prosper the world.

But he has to admire this kind of sincere gentleman who sticks to the concept in his heart and is not shaken by any external objects.

In the next second, he and Fang Ping shook their heads almost at the same time, sighing.

Now, if they persuade Lu Chen again and don't let Lu Chen preserve his faith, it will be equivalent to erasing him as a person.

And how did they do it?

For a while, the atmosphere gradually became heavy.

And just when Lu Chen was about to make a few more polite gestures, he asked Luo Xiaoyu to send them off-

"Lu Qing is really sincere and trustworthy."

Suddenly, a voice sounded outside that was familiar to everyone present.

Immediately after, with a few light footsteps, the empress wearing a dark red background and gold-patterned dragon robe soon appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing the familiar shadow of the empress, everyone couldn't help but be surprised, and then subconsciously stood up and bowed to the empress.

"Wechen has seen Your Majesty, Your Majesty Sheng'an!!"

The Empress waved her hand.

"Sit down, I'm just here to congratulate Lu Qing on moving to a new house, there's nothing else to do, you don't have to be polite."

Hearing this, except for Lu Chen, the rest of the people couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts.

Before, Lu Chen said conclusively in the court that Gu Simiao would not rebel, and even did everything to guarantee her, but today came the exact news that Gu Simiao united with the Empress Dowager Zhao and King Jiang of Qin to launch troops to attack the imperial court.

The matter has come to this, His Majesty is still so kind to Lu Chen? He made a special trip to congratulate Lu Chen on moving to his new home.

This is simply telling the world plainly that she, the Emperor of Great Xia, is still Lu Chen the most trustworthy.

Such a saint is terrifying!

Immediately afterwards, the empress turned her head and looked straight at Lu Chen, who had a complicated face for some reason, and her lips slowly hooked an arc.

There was a soft and unique tone in the majesty, which slowly sounded in everyone's ears.

"All the officials in the DPRK and China think that I believe in Lu Qing so much, because Lu Qing never gave up on me at the beginning, but I don't know that compared with Lu Qing's unparalleled loyalty, I appreciate Lu Qing's talent and dedication to always keeping his original intention."

As she spoke, she walked towards the position next to Lu Chen.

"After the next court today, many people said that Lu Qing, after you know that Gu Simiao sent troops, you will definitely rush into the palace to look for me, and Tian shamelessly begged me to be gracious, if they hear Lu Qing's words, they must be so ashamed that they want to find a crack in the ground to drill down, right?"

The moment the words fell, feeling the undisguised appreciation in the empress's words, Lu Chen always had a feeling of lifting a stone and hitting his own feet.

He raised his hand and arched it towards the approaching empress.

"Your Majesty's praise, minister, sincere fear."

"I don't have false praise, it's Lu Qing, you are too modest."

The empress smiled, and then walked to Lu Chen's side very naturally, and slowly sat down while smoothing out the long skirt below.

Just sat down next to Lu Chen's main seat.

Lu Chen: "??? ”

Immediately afterwards, before he could react, the empress picked up the empty dishes and chopsticks on it very casually, and took them towards the dishes that were already a little cold in front of him and were turned into a mess.

"Your Majesty, no!"

Liu Dongyang was immediately anxious.

"Your Majesty is the supreme in the world, the body of ten thousand gold, how can you eat the leftovers of us?"

Fang Ping and Xiao Yi on the side also hurriedly stopped.

The Empress shook her head.

"It's okay, a little bit, don't care, I still have a lot of official business to deal with, I need to return to the palace as soon as possible, so I don't have to prepare a new meal, just eat two bites casually, and talk about congratulations."

According to the etiquette of the Great Xia Dynasty, no matter what banquet you attend, you must eat something at the banquet to show respect for the host of the banquet.

When she came to Lu Chen's house for the first time, she naturally didn't want to be rude.

After that, she ignored their dissuasion and prepared to continue serving.

However, at this time, Lu Chen directly stretched out his hand and grabbed the empress's chopsticks without any scruples.

The chopsticks finally stopped in mid-air.

"Your Majesty, what Liu Shangshu and Fang Du Yushi said is right."

Lu Chen said as he unloaded the empress's chopsticks and held them in his hand.

Such a blatant act of disrespect made Fang Ping, Liu Dongyang and others, who were still quite anxious, suddenly widen their eyes, and their eyes were full of disbelief.

!

What did I just see?

Someone dared to take away the emperor's chopsticks directly?!

How bold is this guy?!

Admonition and hindrance are two completely different concepts!

Lu Chen didn't care at all about everyone's ghost-like gazes, and said with a face as usual: "As the so-called Lord humiliates the ministers to death, please don't make it difficult for me to wait." ”

"And Your Majesty with the respect of the emperor, come to the cold house to congratulate the micro-ministers, just this heart has been better than all the false courtesies ten thousand times, the micro-ministers are only afraid that they can't bear the heavy heart and expectations of Your Majesty, how can they blame Your Majesty for being rude?"

The words fell, and everyone suddenly subconsciously looked at the empress.

However, in their strange gazes, the empress not only did not have a long face angry, but instead smiled apologetically at Lu Chen and said softly:

"I'm sorry, I was negligent."

After that, he stopped insisting.

It's as if Lu Chen's persuasion is a good word, while Fang Ping's persuasion is noisy nonsense.

Seeing this, while everyone was surprised by the empress's generosity, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.

And seeing that she didn't have any negative emotions at all, a look of disappointment flashed inexplicably in the corners of Lu Chen's eyes.
