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

Although no one would go to the emperor to complain about Lu Chen's imperial decree without opening his eyes, there was no need to be so arrogant.

After all, this was a bit inconsistent with Lu Chen's meticulous temperament.

The two walked and talked.

"What do you care about?"

Lu Chen asked softly.

Fu Huan said calmly: "Pay attention to the world and the eyes of the people around you."

After a pause, before Lu Chen could speak, she continued: "Although Huaiyu is devoted to the public and has no other thoughts, I also believe that you and Su Siye must be innocent, but Huaiyu, after all, you are deeply in love now." Your Majesty trusts you and holds a high position, and Su Siye is like a fish and a goose, and he is Master Fang’s disciple. Moreover, regarding Xia Yan’s previous incident, Master Fang investigated the files all night for Huaiyu, so he was able to help Xia Yan overturn the case. Among them, It’s hard not to think about relationships.”

As soon as these words came out, Lu Chen suddenly felt a pain in his heart.

Thinking of the previous incident where Xia Yan was stabbed in the back by Fang Ping, he couldn't help but feel a little itchy.

"Huaiyu, you are now in a high position, and your every move is watched by countless pairs of eyes. Someone must have noticed that Su Siye stayed at your house all night long, and Huaiyu, you are a talented person with a bright future. Su Siye is still a talented person. Marrying without a Taoist partner, the talented man and the beautiful woman stayed in the same room together all night..."

Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but his eyes moved slightly.

Speaking of which, although this world is not as guarded by etiquette as it was in the ancient times of Blue Star, it is not very open between men and women, so you still need to be careful about rumors.

At this time, Fu Hua continued: "Even if Huaiyu doesn't care about other people's eyes, you should still think about Su Siye. She just has no intention of getting married now. It doesn't mean that she doesn't want to start a family in the future. If something bad comes out about you because of this, Rumors, such as Su Siye being shameless and having sex while unmarried..."

"I understand."

Before Fu Huan could finish speaking, Lu Chen spoke slowly and said seriously:

"Liangyu, you are right. I didn't think carefully. I will pay attention to it in the future."

Hearing this, Fu Hua's eyes suddenly relaxed and she didn't say anything further.

Now that Lu Chen understood what she meant, there was no need to say more. Just stop it in moderation, otherwise it would easily have the opposite effect.

"Ugh."

At this time, Lu Chen suddenly sighed.

"If it weren't for the cultivation of the Way of Observation of Things, the difficulty of finding monks who are well versed in the principles of all things, and the shortage of manpower in the Tiangong Department, I wouldn't have let Miss Su work with me until so late."

Fu Hua raised her eyelids: "Does the Tiangong Department still have many vacancies?"

"Yes."

Lu Chen rubbed his temples with some headache.

"Although Miss Su has been studying the art of studying things for many years and has met many people of the same profession, among these people, there are only a few who are qualified to enter the Tiangong Division, and they can only barely put up the air of the Tiangong Division."

"Is that so..."

Fu Huan groaned, then hesitated, and then said softly:

"As for the way of studying things... among the Xuanji Guards, there is a cultivator who likes to delve into the principles of all things..."

Hearing this, Lu Chen's eyes lit up immediately.

"Oh? Liangyu, you actually have such talents among your subordinates?"

"I guess there is."

Fu Huan's mind once again recalled the scene when he was awakened by a sudden explosion in the middle of the night when he was in the holy realm, and his expression suddenly became a little strange.

"She especially likes to delve into weird things and has a lot of insights into the properties of things. However, her nature is too lively. If she is not strictly disciplined, she can easily cause big troubles. That's why I didn't recommend her to you before. If you really can't find anyone for Huaiyu... you can let her try."

Lu Chen looked at Fu Hua.

"What's her name and where is she now?"

"Liyue, the current acting county magistrate of Hu County in Yuzhou."

"Liyue?"

Lu Chen was startled for a moment, and a figure that left a deep impression on him quickly appeared in his mind.

"Ah."

Fu Hua nodded and explained briefly:

"After the night of the Heavenly Tribulation, officials from several counties in Yuzhou participated in raids and killings. Their homes were confiscated and their families were exterminated. The position of county magistrate was high. Mr. Xiao Ge followed your instructions and sent some Xuanji Guards to various counties. Liyue is one of them."

"If you are in need, Huaiyu, I will ask Your Majesty to order Liyue to be transferred back and let other Xuanji guards take over the position of acting county magistrate."

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Lu Chen inexplicably felt that Fu Huan seemed to have emphasized his tone when using the honorific title Elder Ge.

It seems that the leader of the Xuanji Guards, who represents the power of the Holy King, still respects the virtuous ministers in the court.

While thinking this, Lu Chen cupped his hands towards Fu Hua: "In this case, Lao Liangyu will be here."

"Huaiyu is being polite."

Fu Hua waved her hand.

Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he asked again: "By the way, tomorrow is Mu Xiu. Huaiyu, do you have any plans?"

"Muxiu?"

Lu Chen thought for a moment.

"Miss Gu wrote a letter a few days ago, saying that she was returning to Beijing today, and invited me to go with her to Taihe County to see the situation of the fiefdom. If nothing happens tomorrow, I should be invited to go to Montenegro to learn about the origin of the coal."

"General Gu...what..."

A glimmer of light quietly flashed in Fu Yu's eyes.

"what happened?"

Lu Chen asked: "Why do you ask this suddenly? Does Liangyu want to see me for anything tomorrow?"

Fu Huan thought for a moment, then shook her head.

"There is something wrong, but it's nothing important."

Lu Chen turned his gaze sideways and glanced at her.

"What is it about?"

"The matter of clan support and restructuring."

Fu Huan said very simply: "Before His Royal Highness the Holy King returned to the Holy Realm, he had explained that when he was away, he should listen to your opinion Huaiyu more about the restructuring. Recently, I was in charge of the layout of the local guard station of Xuanji Guard. I encountered some problems and wanted to ask you for advice."

Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but be speechless.

He did understand what the masked man was thinking.

After all, it was he who proposed the reform of the clan support system, but the empress felt that his small body could not bear the pressure, so she put all the pressure on Saint King Cangming.

Facts have proved that the queen's choice is correct.

With the power and authority of Holy King Cangming, almost no one in the court dared to object, and the resolution that went against the ancestral law was passed without any hindrance. At the same time, Tiance Mansion was established to take charge of the restructuring, laying the groundwork for subsequent changes. Base.

He, the Empress and Saint King Cangming were all well aware of this matter, and since he was the proposer, his opinion on the restructuring was the most authoritative, so the Saint King would naturally tell Fu Hua to ask for his opinion.

Of course, understanding is understanding, but he is still a little unhappy about this matter.

It's not about picking peaches or anything, it's mainly because such a good opportunity to attract hatred was wasted like this.

"The reform of the clan support system is related to the foundation of the country, and it is not a trivial matter. When encountering problems, we must solve them quickly and cannot delay them."

Lu Chen asked seriously: "Do you have time today?"

Fu Hua's eyes swayed slightly, but she still shook her head.

"I have something important to do today, so it's not convenient to discuss it with Huaiyu."

"Do you only have time tomorrow?"

"Ah."

"Is that so..."

Lu Chen groaned, and then said:

"How about you also go to Taihe County with me and Miss Gu? It takes nearly two hours by carriage from the capital to Taihe County. We can talk in detail in the carriage."

Fu Hua hesitated: "Is it convenient?"

"National affairs are the most important thing."

Lu Chen said slowly: "I'll tell Ms. Gu after I'm on duty, she is also a pillar of the country, she will definitely not mind, and even ask for it."

Hearing this, Fu Hua thought for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"OK then."

.................

As a Shenwu general in charge of hundreds of thousands of troops in the capital city, Gu Simiao was extremely busy with military affairs, so naturally he didn't care about what happened in Taihe County.

After all, she is a military commander, and her political skills are not very outstanding.

Can only say enough.

Although she was one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms and was once the governor of a state, there was basically no culture and governance in that poor place in Huangzhou, so she did not develop much ability to govern the place.

Because of this, she actually didn't have much awareness and didn't have the energy to care about the impact that her sudden landing as the official of Taihe County would have on Taihe County.

It wasn't until she transferred the backbone of the original Canngling Army, such as Cang Yue and other confidant generals, to the Forbidden Army as deputy generals, and put the various affairs of the Forbidden Army on track, that she was finally able to leave and return to Beijing to focus her rare energy on Taihe County.

When I rode back to Luojing alone, night had fallen and the lanterns were starting to turn on.

It was a little later than the planned time to return to Beijing.

At this time, Luo Jing has become quiet, without the hustle and bustle of the day.

After all, it has just experienced war and multiple turmoils, and the Sili area still needs some time to lick its wounds, and it is impossible to return to its former prosperity all at once.

As a Shenwu general, she was naturally qualified to ride a horse in the capital, but after crossing the Nanhua Gate, she dismounted honestly, and then led her mount on foot towards the county government office in Dongcheng.

"The old slave has met the master."

As soon as she returned to the house, an old man with white hair and beard came over and bowed to her.

Gu Simiao waved her hand and then handed the reins to the servant beside her.

After the servant left with his mount, the old housekeeper walked slowly to Gu Simiao.

"Master, I have something to report."
