Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

"It's Lord Lu!"

The sharp-eyed Zhao Dahu immediately saw Lu Chen and others walking slowly towards them, and he couldn't help shouting.

"Lord Lu is here!"

And his voice was like some kind of horn, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Immediately afterwards, all the workers, whether they were resting or working spontaneously, looked at Zhao Dahu who made a sound, and then followed Zhao Dahu's gaze.

After seeing Lu Chen and a woman in a red robe coming over, they immediately looked happy, and then ran towards Lu Chen.

Seeing the people rushing towards him with excited faces, Lu Chen's heart trembled inexplicably.

Not long after, dozens of people from Zhao Dahu rushed to Lu Chen. Then, just like before, they knelt down and bowed down to Lu Chen.

"Xiaomin Zhao Dahu pays homage to Mr. Lu!"

Others also knelt down on the ground and saluted Lu Chen in the same manner, but they ignored the empress beside them.

Although the Empress is extremely noble, it stands to reason that as long as she is present, everyone must salute her first. However, Zhao Dahu and others, who are just ordinary people, have never seen the Empress. Not only do they not know what the Empress looks like, they don’t even know the red background and gold I don’t even recognize the red dragon robe with the pattern.

What's more, they were already extremely grateful to Lu Chen. After seeing Lu Chen, they would subconsciously ignore other things, and they would never have thought that the Supreme Human Sovereign, who has power over the world and is high above him, would make a special trip to visit them, who are like ants. common people.

In addition, the empress didn't show off, and this trip was extremely low-key. How could these ordinary people know that this girl who was so beautiful, who stood with Lu Chen like a pair of gifted scholars and beauties, would be the master of this world?

Lu Chen was slightly stunned, looking at the people kneeling on the ground in front of him, his eyes shook a few times inexplicably.

But after only being dazed for a moment, hundreds of people immediately ran over and knelt down one by one.

"Meet Master Lu!!"

Their voices were loud, shouting almost with all their strength, as if they wanted to express their heartfelt gratitude to Lu Chenna in this way.

"Forehead…"

Lu Chen waved his hands towards them subconsciously.

"Get up, I'm not in the mood to kneel down."

Hearing what he said, Zhao Hu and the others slowly got up, and then looked excitedly at Lu Chen, who was about the same age as their son, but almost equivalent to saving their lives, and being kind to them.

"Master Lu, you finally came to visit us!"

"Lord Lu, do you still need labor in your yamen? We still want to work with you!"

"Serving under your master Lu, it's the first time in my life that Xiaomin has enough to eat...Master Lu, if you need labor in the future, Xiaomin will definitely sign up for it!"

"Master Lu, how is your health recently?"

Lu Chen: "..."

Seeing that Lu Chen was so loved by the hard-working people, the corners of the Empress's mouth turned up again, and a moving gleam appeared in her eyes.

As we all know, in the Great Xia Dynasty where the emperor and the monks shared the world, the status of ordinary people was extremely low.

The vast majority of the people have a kind of inner fear when they see an official. They stay away from officials and almost always hide away if they can. If they can't avoid them, they have no choice but to admit that they are unlucky. A situation like Xia Yan's is really terrible. Very few.

Of course, there is no way to talk about love and affection.

But now, Lu Chen is so loved by the people, and because of this, he has made great achievements in governing the country. In the eyes of the Empress, this is the real minister who assists the country...

As for those so-called "celebrities" who are highly cultivated, have rich knowledge in cultivation, and have a thorough understanding of the sage books, the Empress is increasingly looking down on those so-called "famous scholars" who are admired by countless monks.

Such as Qian Yiqian, Zhao Bingliang and others.

These people are all well-known celebrities, but their performance in the court... is really hard to describe. If there is no one, their fame is of some use, and the power of the Ministry of Punishment is not great, otherwise she These people have been evacuated long ago.

A high level of cultivation does not mean being able to govern the country, especially for those mediocre officials who improve their level of cultivation through Qingxiu and do not care about the lives of the people. No matter how high their level of cultivation is, these people will not have much substantial benefit to the people .

A monk like Lu Chen who is dedicated to the country, caring for the common people, and focusing on helping the world is the pillar of the country!

As soon as she thought about this, she subconsciously moved closer to Lu Chen.

"All right."

Lu Chen, who had completely recovered, opened his mouth, and was about to say something.

The empress, the true master, was right next to him. As a minister, he could not leave the empress aside, so he prepared to remind these people and ask them to pay homage to the empress quickly.

However, at this moment, a commoner suddenly raised his head, looked at Lu Chen, and then at the Empress, a look of understanding suddenly flashed across the red-faced Ma's face.

"Lord Lu, this is your wife, right? Sure enough..."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Chen's expression changed instantly, and then he hurriedly interrupted: "Shut up!"

The sudden shout made everyone startled.

In their impression, although Lu Chen was very cruel to those mediocre officials and reprimanded them from time to time, he never got angry with them, otherwise they would not have dared to get so close to Lu Chen, a senior official of the third rank.

And just when they were doubtful, Lu Chen continued, "Your Majesty is here, so hurry up and kneel down!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, especially the worker who spoke first, who reacted instantly, and then his face suddenly turned extremely pale.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty!"

Almost everyone was dumbfounded.

However, under the strong will to survive, they reacted almost instantly, and then knelt down heavily towards the empress.

"Caomin greets His Majesty!"

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!!!"

"..."

Thousands of people shouted at the same time, and the loud voice instantly resounded in every corner of the Promise Palace, even the inspector who was conducting the completion inspection was startled.

"Get up."

The empress said lightly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone responded anxiously, then stood up tremblingly.

Only the commoner who said the wrong thing still knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up.

"Your Majesty, grass people... grass people..."

He opened his mouth, but it was trembling and he couldn't say a complete sentence.

At this moment, he only had one thought...

It's over...it's over now!

How could I say such stupid things with such a bad mouth!what to do?Your Majesty will not kill my nine tribes, right?

Will Mr. Lu be implicated?

However, just when he was terrified and all kinds of desperate thoughts appeared in his heart, Lu Chen stood up, stood in front of him, and said to the empress:

"Your Majesty, as a ruler, you should have the tolerance of the world. Although this person speaks nonsense, speaks indiscriminately, and speaks nonsense to His Majesty, but he did not know the identity of His Majesty before reading it. If you think about it, please Your Majesty, don’t argue with him.”

Hearing this, the people were immediately moved.

Lord Lu was still the same Lord Lu, for the sake of an ordinary commoner who had nothing to do with him, he did not hesitate to plead with His Majesty who was already furious.

What kind of benevolence and righteousness this is, how much you love your people like your own children!

Chapter 195 Saying Goodbye

Under the apprehensive eyes of everyone, the empress sighed inexplicably, and said quietly:

"Lu Qing, do you think I'm a bloodthirsty person who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, or just because of a trivial matter?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Chen immediately understood that the empress had no intention of quarreling with that unfortunate commoner.

"The humble minister is guilty."

What Lu Chen is most afraid of is taking responsibility and pleading guilty, even wishing for more violent storms. Hearing what the Empress said, he directly said:

"This humble minister thinks absurdly about your majesty. This is a crime of disrespect. Your Majesty please punish him."

"I don't mean to blame Lu Qing."

The empress sighed again.

"Lu Qing, you are a great husband who cares about the common people and serves the people wholeheartedly. Since I value you, I will naturally do the same as you, practicing the way of helping the world, doing acts of benevolence and virtue, and putting the people first in everything. Killing someone for a trivial matter? Not to mention..."

As she spoke, she turned her head slowly, and looked at the horse-faced man not far away, a smile bloomed on his beautiful little face.

"When I heard what he said, it was too late for me to be happy, so how could I blame him?"

Lu Chen: "???"

He looked at the Empress in bewilderment.

What?

However, before he could react, the empress coughed lightly twice, and then continued to say as if nothing had happened:

"Although what he said just now is suspected of being a slip of the tongue, I can see that the reason why he did so is because he loves Lu Qing from the bottom of his heart, and Lu Qing, you are enough to represent the imperial court. It is a great fortune for the country that the people support the imperial court so much! How can I not like it?"

Hearing this, the horse-faced man's face suddenly showed a look of ecstasy.

After hearing this explanation, Lu Chen nodded with a clear face.

That's it, I'm just saying...

Then, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and looked at the empress intently. The tragic situation of the people of Liangzhou that Yuzhou people and Chai Hongyu remembered slowly emerged in his mind.

In this world of high martial arts where monks are paramount, as the supreme emperor in the world, his supreme majesty cannot be touched. Even if it is an unintentional mistake, as long as he offends the emperor, the consequences will be very serious.

The empress is so lenient to the common people, compared with the previous emperors, she is a bit different.

At this point, a thought gradually emerged in the depths of Lu Chen's heart.

Such a benevolent and benevolent king is the one who can fundamentally change the world...

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The horse-faced man kowtowed heavily to the empress, hitting his forehead on the ground with a rather dull sound.

"Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty!!!"

He was so excited after recovering his life, and he was ready to kowtow again regardless of the blood oozing from his forehead after kowtowing.
