With the rapid flow of memory, Chai Hongyu's trip to Yuzhou ended, and soon embarked on the way home.

The final picture is in an unknown small mountain village on the border of Yuzhou and Tianlan provinces.

Lu Chen's immersive experience continued, and he saw Chai Hongyu lead a horse into the village on the grounds that it was dark for a night, and then under the guidance of the village chief, he went to a farmer's house with only a pair of orphans and widows.

After Chai Hongyu thanked the village chief, she took out another two hundred yuan and handed it to the woman who was obviously about the same age as her, but looked like she had already been weathered.

The woman first excused herself, saying that she didn't need so much, but Chai Hongyu insisted, she glanced at the baby next to her who was sucking her fingers, and still hesitated to take it.

"Girl, let's sleep here tonight."

After the woman took the copper plate, she took Chai Hongyu into the back room, pointed to a bed that looked a little shabby, and said.

"Well, thank you."

Chai Hongyu thanked her politely.

"You're welcome, girl."

The woman smiled, then packed up the bed while the baby went to fetch some water and food.

Chai Hongyu did not refuse the woman's kindness and sat down on the wooden pier on the side.

At this time, the woman who had packed up the quilt suddenly raised her head, looked at the sky outside the window, and saw that the bright moon had risen high, as if she suddenly remembered something, she hurriedly hugged her son, walked to a tablet not far away and knelt down.

Chai Hongyu's eyesight was far beyond ordinary people, and through her sight, Lu Chen suddenly saw the word "Changsheng" written at the end of the tablet.

The next second, when his gaze moved up, he saw his name.

My Immortal Tablet?

Lu Chen couldn't help but be stunned, and at the same time, the woman pulled her son and kowtowed several times in front of the immortal tablet.

After kowtowing, the woman folded her hands and closed her eyes at the same time, her face was full of solemnity, and she chanted the words to the tablet of immortality:

"The saint is above, the heavenly immortal monarch is above, the women of the people sincerely pray here, please be sure to bless Lord Lu Qingtian Lu with no illness and no disasters in his life, everything goes smoothly, step by step, and the prince is eternal."

Listening to this solemn prayer, Lu Chen inexplicably felt a strange feeling in his heart.

After a while, the woman finished the prayer with great skill, and after bowing heavily, she pulled her son to his feet.

"Ruier, you remember."

The woman looked at her son with a serious face, and again uttered the teachings which I don't know how many times:

If it weren't for Lord Lu to punish King Yu, kill corrupt officials, destroy evil gentry, remove profiteers, and then open a warehouse to release grain, our mother and daughter would have starved to death if you have the opportunity to go to school in the future, you must study hard, and be a good official like Lord Lu in the future, serve the court and benefit the people."

The child, Riel, nodded as if he didn't understand.

"Mother, the child has written it down."

"Good boy."

Listening to the conversation between the mother and son, Lu Chen's mind suddenly came up with various policies for the benefit of the people and tirelessly going to various places to comfort the people during his tenure as the governor of the two states.

For a moment, he couldn't help but have mixed feelings.

At this moment, he even had a feeling that this was the meaning of his coming to this world, and it was also the meaning of his existence.

Chai Hongyu watched this scene quietly, did not make a sound, silently enjoyed this moment of peace and tranquility, and relaxed physically and mentally as never before.

At the same time, inside the Tai Chi Temple.

The empress and Gu Simiao, this one is the supreme in the world, one is the power of the One Realm, and two peerless masters, but they are staring intently at the immortal tablet engraved with Lu Chen's name in Chai Hongyu's memory.

After a while, they turned their heads almost at the same time and looked at Lu Chen, who was closing his eyes tightly, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Syllable!

With a crisp sound, the Shadow Circle stopped.

However, after Chai Hongyu completely proved Lu Chen's innocence, she couldn't support it at all, and directly lost consciousness and fell into a coma.

The fiery red spirit was still nourishing and repairing her spirit, and it seemed that it was only a coma caused by excessive mental consumption.

And she, the main body of the soul searching technique, fell, and all the magic circles and spells associated with it stopped working at the same time, and Lu Chen slowly opened his eyes after groaning softly.

"Lu Qing, are you okay?"

"Lu Shilang, are you okay?"

The empress and Gu Simiao spoke at the same time.

In the next second, the two turned their heads at the same time and glanced at each other.

"It's fine."

Lu Chen shook his head, then rubbed his temples and stood up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you General for your concern."

"It's okay."

The empress responded softly, but Gu Simiao turned her head and looked at Lu Chen with a little subtlety in her eyes.

In the next moment, I don't know if it's an illusion, she always feels that in Lu Chen's eyes, in addition to being as firm as ever, there are also some indescribable things, which makes people can't help but want to take a few more looks.

"So ......"

The empress spoke again, and at the same time slowly turned around, her gaze swept over the courtiers not far away.

"It's time to put an end to this."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Cang and the others instantly trembled.

Click...

The empress stepped forward slowly, and the red dragon boots stepped on the floor made of spirit stones, making one crisp sound after another.

"Youdu Yushi, do you have anything else to say?"

A flash of struggle flashed across Chen Cang's face, and then he sighed heavily, as if he had failed to do so, and fell to his knees heavily.

"Your Majesty, Weichen mistakenly believed the villain's slander, and rashly attacked when the evidence was doubtful and the identity and intention of the testifier were not clear, and he insisted on going his own way, wrongly blaming Zhongliang, and almost causing a big disaster.

The empress's favor and preference for Lu Chen can be seen by everyone, and she can be just a little bit when she is reasonable, but if she doesn't take advantage of it, she should admit it or quickly admit it.

There is no point in quibbling.

In this way, for the sake of them simply admitting their mistakes, they may be able to end up lightly.

Chen Cang spoke, and the others also knelt down to admit their mistakes.

However, in the face of their admonition, the empress smiled coldly.

"Is it just negligence and dereliction of duty?"

Hearing this, Chen Cang and the others couldn't help but chuckle in their hearts, but they still looked impassive on their faces.

"Forgive Weichen for being blunt, and please make it clear to Your Majesty."

The empress did not speak immediately, but gestured with her eyes to Zhu Yong, the deputy commander of Xuanjiwei, who was not far away.

Zhu Yong instantly understood, strode out directly, then took out a dossier from his arms, glanced at him with a mocking face, and at the same time opened the scroll in his hand and threw it in front of Chen Cang.

Chen Cang looked at it subconsciously.

In the next second, his pupils suddenly shrank.

"This is this"

After seeing the above content clearly, his face instantly turned to ashes, as if he had lost everything, and the whole person collapsed directly to the ground, with a deep look of despair in his eyes.

At this moment, he finally understood.

The empress's control over the court and the civil and military officials was far beyond his imagination.

Even if Chai Hongyu didn't take the initiative to show up, she was sure that she would solve this trouble for Lu Chen.

It's just a matter of waiting for the right moment.

As soon as he thought of this, his eyes suddenly darkened, and his consciousness completely fell into eternal darkness.

Chen Cang fell, and the other courtiers who had made the most trouble in this incident were also carried out by Xuan Jiwei one after another in constant wailing.

The menacing anti-Lu faction fell apart in an instant under the empress's strength, and completely lost the ability to make waves.

And Lu Chenjing did not only not shake his high status in the slightest, but was more valued by the empress.

Obviously, there was no, but the empress still comforted him in front of all the courtiers, and also took out a lot of good things from the treasury and gave them to Lu Chen, which was called compensation for the grievances he suffered Lu Chen during this time.

The post of the imperial history of the right capital is concurrently held by Xiao Yun, the new assistant cabinet minister.

At this time, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, whether it is the left capital Yushi Fang Ping or the right capital Yushi Xiao Yun, has a good relationship with Lu Chen, although these two people may not necessarily favor Lu Chen, but they will definitely not target him like Chen Cang.

At the same time, when Chai Hongyu's image that was enough to prove Lu Chen's innocence came out, the entire Luo Jing was in an uproar.

Rumours and slanders have since been self-defeating.

Everyone realized that they had really wronged a good person.

Especially in Chai Hongyu's memory image, when they saw the complete version of Lu Chen and a group of Xuan Jiwei being attacked and besieged by traitors, and Chai Hongyu desperately rescued each other, they quickly reacted that they had fallen for the poisonous scheme set up by the traitors using preconceived ideas and taking things out of context.

As a result, the "people of insight" who were instigated, such as the teachers of the Guozijian and Gongsheng, were so imposing when they came, and how embarrassed they were when they returned.

The siege of Lufu was solved.

The next day, Lu Chen went to court as usual.

But the difference between weekdays and days is that he is no longer like before, walking and thinking about how to find an opportunity to be dismissed or martyred, at this time, there is a trace of concentration in his eyes that he did not have before.

This time, I didn't meet Gu Simiao again when I went to the court, and I walked all the way to the Taiji Hall.

"Your Majesty."

After the formulaic worship, without waiting for the others to speak, Lu Chen took a step forward with a solemn face.

"Wechen has something to do."

The empress bowed slightly.

"Lu Qing, please speak."

Lu Chen bowed slightly, and then said directly:

"Your Majesty, Weichen believes that although Chai Hongyu has rebelled, her original intention is not for her own glory and wealth, but to help the common people, and what she killed is not a pillar of the court, it is very likely to be a corrupt official who is a party to the disaster, so although her approach is excessive, it is excusable."

"It's true that she is guilty, but this is also because the court is at fault first, it can be said that it was precisely because of the rampant corruption in the government at that time that it gave rebellious ministers and thieves such as Yu Jiuyuan the opportunity to rise up, and Chai Hongyu also pinned her hopes on the blade in her hand because she saw that the court was unreasonable."

"Therefore, Weichen implores His Majesty to suspend the disposition of Chai Hongyu, restore his free body, and wait until everything is ascertained before taking action."

As soon as these words came out, the courtiers suddenly turned pale.

This Lu Chen, he really dares to say anything......

As an official of the imperial court, even if there is a big problem in the court, it cannot be said, this is the basic rule to be followed as a courtier.

But for the sake of a female thief, this guy dared to openly accuse the court of not.

And that's a female thief!

Even if she does you a great favor, you can't abandon your position as a courtier, right?

The law of Great Xia is written in black and white, no matter what the reason, as long as it is a thief who plots against the enemy, he must be killed, this is the ancestral system established by the ancestors of Great Xia, you Lu Chen actually dare to touch this, do you want to go to heaven?

So, as soon as Lu Chen's voice fell, a speaker immediately stood up to oppose it.

"Lu Shilang's words are wrong."

An old imperial historian with white hair came out of the crowd and said in a loud voice:

"A thief is a thief, even if her conscience finds out and washes away her grievances for Lu Shilang, it can't change the fact that she is a thief, as long as she has the idea of subverting my Great Xia country, she deserves to die."

After a pause, he said again: "Lu Shilang, the lower officials know that Chai Hongyu has a personal favor with you, but one yard is one yard, the current national law, no one can use private interests for public affairs, and please Lu Shilang Don't disregard the national law for his own selfishness, otherwise this case will be opened, and the future will be endless!" ”

After all, the Yongchu Dynasty was not the Shenghe Dynasty when the Demon Queen was in power, and there were still many Taoists in the court.

For this kind of hard bones, Lu Chen didn't have any bad feelings, and argued solemnly:

"In special cases, everything can not be generalized, in the following opinion, whether to judge the crime, or to use its subjective consciousness as the benchmark for judgment, the real thief, is for the glory and wealth of the outlaw who take risks, this kind of person is naturally unforgivable, but purely for the sake of survival and rise up to resist, but can give the other party a chance."

Old Yushi shook his head, still disagreeing with Lu Chen's opinion, and firmly believed that Chai Hongyu should be sentenced to capital punishment to set an example.

However, Lu Chen felt that if Chai Hongyu was spared, it would be equivalent to giving some people who could fight for a chance to weaken the will to resist and weaken the cohesion of the anti-thief sword, which would be beneficial to the court's next counterinsurgency.

The two sides insisted on their own words, and they argued back and forth in the court for a while.

In the end, the two held on to each other and looked at the empress at the same time.

"Your Majesty, please judge!"

In the next second, a group of courtiers looked at the empress on the dragon chair at the same time.

In the eyes of everyone, either expectant or hesitant, the empress raised her head slightly, and the moment the twelve jade rays swayed gently, her lips slowly opened.

"I think that Lu Qing's words are reasonable, although Chai Hongyu is guilty, but her righteous actions have allowed the court to recover huge losses, and she has contributed to the country, and her original intention is pure, not intended to rebel, not to mention that the court is at fault first, and all the blame cannot be imposed on the people."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

Your Majesty, she... Actually openly said that the imperial court was indeed at fault?

Oh, my God?! Did I hear me right?

As the master of the court, the supreme king, if the court is at fault, the emperor is at fault.

But how could the emperor be wrong?

Immediately, someone stood up and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, don't say that, how can the imperial court be wrong?"

However, the empress swept her beautiful eyes and said indifferently:

"Is the court some kind of saint? If you are not a saint, why can't you be wrong? ”

As soon as these words came out, the man suddenly screamed and didn't dare to say more.
