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

Chapter 344 If you are well, I will be fine

Seeing the baffled look on the empress's face, Lu Chen couldn't help but sigh.

"Your Majesty, a minor minister was assassinated just now. The assassin has a method that can forcibly take the target to a different space."

Hearing this, Jiang Chengwan couldn't help but feel tight inside.

"What?! Assassinated? Lu Qing, are you okay?"

Although she knew that Lu Chen could contact her using the soul channeling formation, which meant that he was basically fine, and with Chai Hongyu around, as long as he was not killed on the spot, and as long as he was still breathing, he would not die, but she was still subconsciously worried. .

As for the spells possessed by the assassin, although they are extremely special, as an emperor, she has extraordinary knowledge. Even if she does not understand them, she knows that there are all kinds of strange things in this world, and no matter how weird the spells are, there is nothing strange about them.

After all, the former Queen Mother was able to escape from the hands of the Holy King. If Gu Simiao had not been extremely well prepared, the Demon Queen might still be making trouble outside.

"fine."

Lu Chen shook his head.

"Although Wei Chen is not good at martial arts, when the assassin took action, the Jidao Sword suddenly activated an extremely powerful secret method of protection. A golden giant suddenly appeared from Wei Chen's shadow, blocking all the assassin's killing moves. ”

"The assassin retreated when he saw that he couldn't do anything to the minor minister, or that the special space secret technique was extremely restrictive and he couldn't maintain it."

Speaking of this, his eyes gradually became solemn.

"If Wei Chen is not mistaken, the golden giant should be the most powerful secret method of the Jidao Sword recorded in the document - the Jidao Saint Lord, right?"

Hearing what Lu Chen said, Jiang Chengwan's expression flashed unnaturally.

"As expected of the minister of Zhongxing whom I rely on, you are indeed very knowledgeable. I didn't expect you, Lu Qing, to read classics in your spare time while you are busy with government affairs. You can even recognize the Supreme Saint Lord who has not appeared in the world for hundreds of years."

She looked around and praised Lu Chen.

However, Lu Chen did not accept her words and said in a solemn voice: "Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, this Ji Dao Sage requires a sword spirit to activate, right?"

Although the fact that the Jidao Sword was handed over to a foreign minister to strengthen his authority is already incredible, as long as the sword spirit is in hand, the emperor can take back the Jidao Sword at any time and activate the full power of the Jidao.

Moreover, the sword spirit also has a very strong function of protecting the master, which can protect the emperor from danger.

After all, that was the power left over from the First Emperor before he became a mortal, a remnant soul of a sub-saint that possessed part of the holy power!

But Jiang Chengwan actually handed over the complete power of Ji Dao to him so quietly. If it hadn't been for this assassination, who knows when he would have noticed it.

If this were a bad thing, Jiang Chengwan would be assassinated without the power of the extreme to protect him, and the Holy King and the three Guiyi Realm masters would not be in the capital.

Lu Chen couldn't help but shudder when he thought of this situation.

Although he could feel Jiang Chengwan's love and care and was deeply moved, I am afraid that throughout the ages, he has been the ceiling of his favorite ministers. He has never seen any emperor treat his ministers so well.

Not only should officials give officials, money should give money, power should give power, status should give status, but also part of the power of being the emperor should be given away.

But this is too much nonsense, isn't it? !

The majestic king of a country is responsible for the well-being of hundreds of millions of living beings in the world. Especially Jiang Chengwan is a promising king who advocates reform. If anything happens, Daxia will probably fall into catastrophe in an instant, with extremely serious consequences.

Does she realize how important she is to this country?

This is a very serious problem.

Facing Lu Chen's harsh words, Jiang Chengwan couldn't help but take a deep breath.

After a moment, she slowly spoke: "Lu Qing is right, the Jidao Sword Spirit is indeed not in my hands, but with you."

"Nonsense!"

Lu Chen became unusually stern.

"Now Luo Jing is not stable, and most of the elite have left the capital. There are not many masters in the court. Those people dare not take any action because they are worried about His Majesty's power. If they know that Your Majesty does not have a sword, The consequences of spiritual protection are disastrous."

"All the people in the nine provinces are tied to Your Majesty. How can we tolerate any mistakes? If a wise and enterprising king like Your Majesty makes mistakes, how can Daxia be revitalized? How can the common people be safe?"

"Your Majesty, I also ask you to put the country, the country, and the country first, think about the common people, and put your own self-preservation first in everything you do. Don't act on your whim, let alone be swayed by your emotions."

Jiang Chengwan fell silent.

But she did not lower her head, but looked at Lu Chen quietly. Even if it was a severe reprimand, she just listened to it word for word, but she did not feel ashamed because of it.

After Lu Chen finished speaking, she spoke again.

"I know everything Lu Qing said. I know that everything I say and do is related to all directions in the world. I also know what it means to hand over the sword spirit to you, and what the consequences will be if something happens."

Hearing Jiang Chengwan's calm statement, Lu Chen's brows suddenly furrowed even deeper.

Knowing the consequences of doing so but still doing it is a big problem.

"Since Your Majesty knows it well, then why."

However, before he asked coldly, Jiang Chengwan's eyes narrowed and she stared into his solemn eyes without flinching.

The moment their eyes met, her red lips opened slightly and she said in a concentrated voice: "Lu Qing, you said that I am extremely important to the country of Daxia. I do not deny this, but don't you think that you are equally important?"

Lu Chen raised his eyes slightly.

"I am just a scholar with little knowledge and only an average person. The reason why I am here today is just a coincidence, a chance encounter, and I am lucky to be trusted by your majesty and have you serve me."

He spoke his mind very frankly.

This is not modesty, but he really thinks so.

He is really just lucky, and he doesn't want this luck at all.

At first, he just wanted to die, and then be dismissed or killed, and ascend to heaven in broad daylight. Who would have thought that he would be promoted step by step by mistake? Who can he go to for justice?

So it's hard to say whether he is lucky or unlucky.

But one thing is certain.

He really doesn't think he has any ability. At least compared with those smart people in the court, he is probably not even an average person. He can get to this point just by chance.

In essence, he just used the right people.

Although the ability to use people is very powerful for ruling, he did not intentionally put the right people in the right positions.

Therefore, he still does not think he is anything great.

"Even if there is no me, Lu Chen, there will be Zhang Chen and Su Chen, but your majesty is different."

Lu Chen said solemnly: "Your majesty is a wise monarch who can be recognized by the sub-sage and then summon the sword of the extreme way, the lord of the revival. Today's Daxia can be without me, Lu Chen, without the Holy King, and without anyone, but it must not be without your majesty."

This is also the truth.

Just because the empress dared to drastically eliminate the accumulated malpractices, reform and strengthen the country, and stood firm and uprooted the termites of the country at all costs, so that the reformists could become the helpers of the government, her role is irreplaceable.

It is no exaggeration to say that she is a wise monarch.

It's just that her character has some flaws and she is quite impulsive.

Jiang Chengwan did not show any joy on her face for Lu Chen's praise.

Her eyes were also solemn and serious.

"No, I don't think so."

The tone was firm and full of unquestionable meaning.

"Lu Qing, you are unique. Whether it is for the country or for me, you are indispensable and irreplaceable."

When these words came out, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment.

Hmm? Indispensable? Irreplaceable?

And it's okay for the country, but it's also the same for the little empress. What the hell?

Is it what I understand? Or am I too self-conscious?

Before he could react, Jiang Chengwan added seriously: "If you are well, I will be fine."
