Chapter 140: Rites must not be abolished
Luojing, Purple Pole City.
Ziwei Palace.
The empress was holding a notebook in both hands, but her gaze, which should have been concentrated, was a little divergent, and her eyes barely had a trace of focus.
Obviously, the attention was not at all on the fold in front of him.
After a moment, the small hand holding the fold suddenly trembled slightly.
"Brother Huang, do you mean that Gu Simiao did not betray the imperial court, and all the rebellious actions he did during this period were to paralyze the remnants of the demon queen, gain its trust, and let the traitors loyal to the demon queen gather in the wasteland, and finally catch all the nets, and completely eliminate the scourge of the demon queen's chaotic government?"
"That's right."
In his mind, Jiang Chengdao's voice slowly sounded.
"Everything is as Lu Chen expected, Gu Simiao is indeed a loyal minister who has great righteousness and serves the country and the people."
Receiving Jiang Chengdao's affirmative reply, the empress couldn't help but take a sharp breath.
recalled what Jiang Chengdao told about the Huangzhou incident, as well as the fact that the demon queen and Xiahou Yan and other traitors who troubled the world were all killed and ambushed, and at the same time, the wealth that the Queen Mother had been collecting over the years and the treasures of heaven and earth and spiritual costumes that she had collected all fell into the hands of Gu Simiao, and they were about to be returned to the treasury with her return......
Even if she had already experienced strong winds and waves, she couldn't help but be shocked at this time.
She never expected that Lu Chen's outrageous judgment made under the spirit of things turned out to be right!
He's right again!
And with the complete demise of the Empress Dowager's lineage, the original tense situation in the imperial court was almost completely lifted.
Not only that, but the financial crisis, which had been getting worse and worse, was barely suppressed by the presence of the Holy King as countless wealth returned to the treasury was finally resolved.
Of course, the benefits of the sudden reversal of the affairs of the wasteland do not stop there.
As one of the Eight Great Pillar Kingdoms of Great Xia, and a peerless general with outstanding achievements, Gu Simiao's prestige is also a top-ranked existence even among the generals of the Pillar Kingdom.
She is so loyal to the imperial court and to the empress who has just taken power, and she clearly states that she will support the empress at all costs, which is definitely a great thing for the empress who urgently needs prestige and improves her control over the world.
The allegiance of the Holy King + the Peerless Pillar Kingdom, as well as Fu Huan, who has just broken through to the Unified Realm and can be entrusted with important tasks, and she herself, who has all the treasures of the royal family.
The Cangming Army, the Cangling Army, and the forbidden army that is being reorganized
At the level of strength, she has almost no weaknesses.
It's a wave of fat!
Moreover, under Lu Chen's unwavering insistence, the Gu family was not beheaded by the imperial court.
This not only reflects Lu Chen's insight, but also reflects the empress's trust in Gu Simiao!
It's a beautiful conversation between a monarch and a minister.
It can be said that Gu Simiao and Lu Chen's perfect operation directly raised the empress's dominance by several steps.
Although there are still many local rebels who have risen in the riots due to the chaos of the Empress Dowager, such as the Holy Father's Jiuyuan Xuantian Army and the Heavenly King Li Rucai's Heavenly Army, which are constantly stirring up the storm and shaking the foundation of the imperial court's rule.
But now the hearts of the people are still in Great Xia, the mandate of heaven has not been lost, as long as the imperial court is stable, these rebels will not have any chance.
Other words... On the surface, there is no longer any force in the country that can threaten the rule of the empress.
The legal inheritance, wealth, strength, loyalty and talent of the emperor's edict...... With all this, her position is unshakable.
Next, after completely clearing the turmoil in various places, she can focus on the world and create a prosperous era of her own!!
With supreme merit, he has become the ancestor in Lu Chen's mind, and the generation of saints who have surpassed Wenjing!
And this world will also completely become a stage for Lu Chen, a peerless soldier who is loyal and unparalleled, has a common heart, is loyal to the country, and works for the welfare of hundreds of millions of people, to show what he has learned in his life and realize his ambitions!
Thinking of this, the empress couldn't help but feel hot in her heart.
It took a while for her to calm down.
"Brother Huang, when will you and Gu Simiao arrive in Beijing?"
As soon as the words fell, Jiang Chengdao's voice rang in his ears.
"If the Divine Movement Great Array is running at full strength, with the speed of the Absolute Shadow and her Wind Chasing Divine Horse, we will be able to arrive in Beijing at the afternoon of the day after tomorrow at the earliest."
Hearing this, the empress nodded subconsciously.
"Looks like we'll need to be a little more prepared."
The triumphant return of the generals who made such a splash for the imperial court, it is naturally impossible for the imperial court to have no expression.
Gu Simiao's contribution to this Huangzhou incident can have such a perfect result, not to mention that she has already made great contributions to the dynasty, and has been stabilizing the northwest border of Great Xia during the chaotic period of the demon queen, and annihilating countless alien iron horses, if it is not for the ancestral system of a different surname who cannot be crowned king, even if she is crowned king, it is not an exaggeration.
Therefore, in addition to welcoming the triumph of the heroes, how to reward must also be decided as soon as possible.
No matter how much it costs, you have to do it beautifully and beautifully.
This is not only a reward and encouragement to Gu Simiao, but also the face of the imperial court, and it is impossible to be negligent.
"Speaking of which."
Jiang Chengdao spoke again.
"I mentioned the matter of the honor guard to her, after all, she had just led the army to kill all the remnants of the Queen Mother, and after taking off their heads, she left Huangzhou directly, and rushed to Luojing non-stop, her body was full of dirt, her appearance was poor, and it was inconvenient to see it, not to mention such a major event as the triumph of the army."
Hearing this, the empress felt a strange feeling in her heart.
"Oh? What did she say? ”
"She refused."
Jiang Chengdao said softly: "She cares more about Lu Chen than the triumphant gift, the reason why she rushed to Luojing so eagerly is to see Lu Chen as soon as possible, and nothing else is important to her." ”
Speaking of this, Jiang Chengdao was inexplicably a little emotional.
"Although it is not in accordance with the etiquette law, it is understandable, after all, when the whole world thinks that she has betrayed the imperial court, criticizes her verbally and penually, and scolds her endlessly, only Lu Chen firmly believes that she will not ignore the common people, start the war lightly, and desperately protect the Gu family, so that she can deal with the queen mother without worries, and at the same time leave a trace of leeway for her and the court, which is why there is such a good situation today."
"The so-called grace of dripping water, when the spring reciprocates, Lu Chen braves the world's disapproval to do this for her, such a great kindness, how can she not try her best to repay it?"
The empress was stunned for a moment, and then asked curiously, "Gu Simiao knows about the affairs in Beijing?" ”
"Hmm."
Jiang Chengdao affirmed: "She should have some kind of secret method that requires a certain price to be able to achieve ultra-long-distance observation, otherwise she would not have been able to act so decisively, thinking about it, she had already completely put aside her worries when she learned that Your Majesty, at Lu Chen's insistence, promised to give her fifteen days to prove herself." ”
Hearing this, the empress's little face, the good-looking brows frowned slightly inexplicably.
Wasteland matters.
In other words, Gu Simiao's experience during this period of time inexplicably gave her a strong sense of déjà vu.
The same is Lu Chen.
Also for some reason, had to hide himself.
In the same time when everyone abandoned/distrusted, only one person stood up for the morality and faith in his heart, and did everything to help her without asking for anything in return.
A similar experience made the empress subconsciously substitute herself into Gu Simiao's feelings.
Then, her brow immediately furrowed even deeper.
"Your Majesty."
Jiang Chengdao's voice sounded at the right time.
"Gu Simiao's insistence shows that she, like Lu Chen, is a person who attaches great importance to feelings and ignores interests, such a person can be used with confidence, so although it is a little unruly, please postpone this triumphant gift, and let Gu Simiao come to the door to ...... with Lu."
"No way!"
Before Jiang Chengdao finished speaking, the empress suddenly interrupted him in an extremely rare way.
Especially when Jiang Chengdao said that Gu Simiao was the same as Lu Chen, and when Gu Simiao was allowed to go to Lu Chen's house, she was originally wise and decisive, and she suddenly seemed to be a different person, and a look of obvious resistance flashed on her face.
"Etiquette can not be abolished, no matter what, when the soldiers who have contributed to the court return to the court in triumph, the court must prepare the corresponding specifications of the triumphant ceremony, and set up a state banquet to entertain all the meritorious ministers, this is the duty of the court!"
"Otherwise, if it is known that the imperial court despises meritorious heroes so much, won't the subjects of the world be chilled?"
The empress said righteously, and her words were full of undoubted meaning.
Even the opinion of the elder brother, who had always relied on him, was directly refuted.
"Your Majesty, this ......"
"I have made up my mind, and the royal brother doesn't need to say much."
The empress said in a deep voice: "Brother Lao told her that at noon the day after tomorrow, I will order all the subjects of Luojing to meet you under the city, and let her prepare well. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Chengdao, who was galloping through the official road with the Shadow Horse, suddenly looked confused.
“???”
However, without waiting for him to ask, the empress said that the Holy Spirit Power was about to be exhausted, and then directly cut off the magic technique.
