Volume 2: The Wind Rises in Chang'an Chapter 125 Wang Gui falls into the trap again
In the impression of Li Xiuning and others, Lu Chen should be someone who cannot say such things, but the fact is before them, which really makes Li Xiuning and others feel shocked. As for others, they are right
Lu Chen scoffed a little. After all, Lu Chen's performance in the Tai Chi Hall last time shocked them, and he directly confronted Wang Gui, the leader of the Taiyuan Wang family.
Many people are still wondering whether it was because of Li Yuan's "no-foot order" that Lu Chen woke up?
Of course, Lu Chen also heard Wang Gui's words of "flattery". Lu Chen turned to look at Wang Gui directly.
"Wang Zhongyun, you said that I am a flatterer. I wonder where you got this conclusion?" Lu Chen stared at Wang Gui with burning eyes, ready to fight if he disagreed.
"You are so flattering, isn't it flattering?" Wang Gui was a little embarrassed by Lu Chen's stare, but since he wanted to punish Lu Chen, he had to be tough and said directly with a stick in the neck.
"Oh! You actually have such ulterior motives!" Lu Chen pointed directly at Wang Gui's nose and said with a distressed look, "Every sentence I said was from the bottom of my heart, and every sentence was a natural expression of emotion from the inside out.
For your majesty who is so wise and powerful, is it wrong for me to wish him a long life? You actually said that I am flattering you. Do you think that your majesty should not live a long life? Is it true that you, the Taiyuan Wang family, are a distinguished family that can do this? Or are you saying that?
What other concerns does your Wang family have?" Lu Chen's last sentence was to directly ask Wang Gui in a cold voice.
As soon as Wang Gui heard what Lu Chen said, he knew that the bastard Lu Chen just said those words to dig a hole for himself. How could he be so impulsive and fall for it? His forehead and temples suddenly became sweaty. Lu Chen said these words
To put it lightly, he is "disrespectful"; to put it more seriously, he and the Taiyuan Wang family have a "disobedient heart", which will cause them to lose their heads.
But before Wang Gui could say anything, Lu Chen directly clasped his fists at the civil and military officials present, "Please tell me, is it wrong for me to wish your majesty a long life? Wang Zhongyun actually said that I am the one who flatters you, and I wish you a long life."
It hurts!" Lu Chen continued his performance, with an expression of heartache as he beat his chest and stamped his feet.
This performance directly made Li Yuan, who was sitting on the dragon chair, and Chang Bao, who was standing beside him, twitching at the corners of their mouths. No one who could stand in the Tai Chi Hall was 250, so naturally they could see that Lu Chen was starting from the beginning.
I dug a hole for Wang Gui to jump into, but Wang Gui was so obedient that he jumped in as soon as his head got hot.
When Cheng Yaojin saw Lu Chen's performance, his lips twitched, and he secretly wondered: "The issue of 30,000 soldiers surrendering in Weizhou City, was this grandson's bad idea?"
As for Wei Zheng, who was standing behind the court, his lips twitched as he remembered the idea Lu Chen gave him at Niangziguan about surrendering the troops in Weizhou City.
"Your Majesty! I have no other intention. I just have disdain for Lu Xianhou's conduct! I hope your Majesty will forgive me!" Wang Gui fell to his knees with a "pop" and said with cold sweat on his forehead.
"Wang Aiqing is worrying too much. I don't mean to blame you!" Li Yuan looked at Wang Gui who was trembling on the ground. He couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in his heart. He didn't expect that Lu Chen actually dug a hole for Wang Gui.
I was afraid. Although Wang Gui and Li Yuan had a good personal relationship, that was during the rebellion against the Sui Dynasty. Now that the Li family is in charge of the world, there is a gap between the two. Of course, Li Yuan was just relying on the influence of the aristocratic family at the beginning.
That's all, otherwise there wouldn't be Li Jiancheng planning to weaken the family.
"Hey! Wang Zhongyun, what you said is meaningless!" Li Yuan had just finished speaking, and before Wang Gui could respond, Lu Chen looked down at Wang Gui who was kneeling on the ground, "Why do you disdain me as a person?
What's wrong with me as a person? Did he dig out every family's grave? Or did he kick in the widow's door? Please speak clearly!" There was an expression of dissatisfaction and resentment on his face.
The group of people in the main hall had never heard of the curse-like language from Lu Chen's mouth. The civil servants hid their faces and snickered, while many of the generals burst into laughter.
"Marquis Lu, don't go too far!" At this moment, Wei Ting on the side couldn't stand it anymore and said directly.
"I have gone too far?" Lu Chen looked at Wei Ting and gave Wei Ting a look of disdain, "What? One can't do it, two of them? It's okay. If any of you think that I have said something wrong, you can all stand up!
Lu Chen directly glanced at the group of officials from the aristocratic family with contempt, "What? He said that I am not a good person, so I have to acquiesce? Your family is a bit overbearing, right? I have to ask clearly today,
What's wrong with me as a person? Is it the alcohol I invented or the saline solution that's bad?" Lu Chen's voice became louder as he spoke, and several officials from aristocratic families who had wanted to lend a helping hand withdrew their direct questioning.
"When it comes to being a human being, I really need to learn from Wang Zhongyun! Last time we talked about dedicating money to the Tang Dynasty, I heard that the Wang family wanted to donate half of their property to the Tang Dynasty. I didn't expect that Wang Zhongyun actually forgot about it! Still!
Just go to court and gossip like a normal person, what's the matter? Are you planning to donate half of your family property?" Lu Chen squatted directly in front of Wang Gui and asked with a smile on his face.
"I never remember donating family property!" Wang Gui simply refused to acknowledge what happened in the Tai Chi Hall last time. He had already lost his face once, and he was not afraid of losing it a second time.
"Oh! So I don't remember!" Lu Chen looked at Wang Gui and sneered, then turned to look at Wei Ting who came out to stop him, "I heard that Jingzhao Wei's family also has a rich family. Why, Mr. Wei is like this
Are you going to donate your family property?"
"Marquis Lu, please don't mess around. His Majesty's announcement of your visit this time is already an extrajudicial favor. Don't forget that you are still under a grounding order!" Wei Ting looked at Lu Chen with a cold face and said.
"Oh! Yes! I still have a ban on you! Then I will resign!" Lu Chen saluted directly to Li Yuan, "Your Majesty, Mr. Wei said that I have a ban on you and it is not appropriate to appear in Tai Chi.
Your Majesty, please allow me to retire and go home to continue to think about my mistakes behind closed doors!" After saying this, Lu Chen turned around and left.
When they saw Lu Chen was about to leave, Wang Gui and Wei Ting looked at each other. Isn't this nonsense? Fei Ting went to great lengths to get Lu Chen here. He fully expected to use the coal-carb matter to get Lu Chen, but this guy came.
After a while of fussing around and then getting ready to leave, how could that be possible?
Moreover, this matter also involved Chai Shao. If Chai Shao had not stood up for Lu Chen, Li Yuan would not have issued an order to get Lu Chen. If Lu Chen left, what would it be? In the end, this
The blame must be placed entirely on Wang Gui and Wei Ting. Chai Shao will be offended if they offend him. The key point is that Chai Shao's wife is Princess Pingyang. Her Royal Highness the Princess is the one who swings the knife whenever she disagrees. Sometimes Li Yuan doesn't even say a word.
Well, if I really have to chop them both with a knife, who can bear it?
"Marquis of Lu County, don't be fooling around. His Majesty has summoned you here because of course there are important matters to discuss, so don't be arrogant!" Pei Ji saw that Lu Chen was really going to leave. Li Yuan was the emperor, and Lu Chen was leaving now.
He was still forced by Wei Ting, but he still couldn't find fault, and he could still get Li Yuan to persuade Lu Chen to stay, saying: "My dear, please don't leave, something is wrong?" Wouldn't that make Li Yuan lose face too much?
Therefore, the prime minister, Pei Ji, could only intervene to persuade Lu Chen to stay.
When he heard someone calling him, this person was still standing at the head of the civil service. Lu Chen knew that the old man in front of him, who was wearing a purple official uniform, with a gold and jade belt across his waist, and a golden fish charm hanging on the gold and jade belt, had an unusual official position.
, and although this man is already old enough to know his destiny, and although his face has a lot of wrinkles, he has a kind-hearted look and a burly figure. It can be seen that he was also a handsome young man when he was young.
"My lord, have you not asked me for advice?" Lu Chen was still very respectful to this old man who advised him kindly.
"I am Pei Ji!" Pei Ji did not show any politeness and directly announced his name.
"Pei Ji!" Lu Chen's eyes lit up when he looked at Pei Ji. Lu Chen knew that the Pei Ji and Pei Xuanzhen in front of him were extraordinary. He was the first prime minister of the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Without this prime minister, Li Yuan would not have been able to do this.
Determined to rebel against the Sui Dynasty, it can be said that Pei Ji had a great contribution to the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and this Pei Ji was also the reviser of the "Tang Code".
"It turns out to be Mr. Pei, disrespectful, disrespectful!" Lu Chen hurriedly saluted Pei Ji.
"How polite the Marquis of Lu County is!" Pei Ji also liked Lu Chen very much in his heart. After all, Lu Chen's inventions saved many sons of the Tang Dynasty. "Your Majesty called the Marquis of the County here this time for the sake of five hundred kilograms of iron."
It is a matter of fact. If this matter is not explained clearly, I am afraid it will be detrimental to Marquis Lu!" Pei Ji said and glanced at Wang Gui and Wei Ting who were standing aside, obviously reminding Lu Chen of this matter.
Who did it? At the same time, Lu Chen was reminded that if he didn't explain clearly, I'm afraid the next group of people would have to use this matter to make excuses.
"Is this a stupid thing worth talking about?" Lu Chen glared at Wang Gui and Wei Ting, "Besides, what if I want five hundred kilograms of iron? Can I still rebel? On the other hand, in some families,
I'm afraid there are more than 100,000 kilograms of iron materials!" Lu Chen said angrily, and at the same time looked at Wang Gui and Wei Ting again, "If I can use five hundred kilograms of iron materials to commit disloyalty, there are countless hoards.
Those who are made of ten thousand kilograms of iron, according to my opinion, all those in the house who are bigger than a wheel should be chopped down!" After Lu Chen said the last sentence, he bared his teeth directly at Wang Gui and Wei Ting, looking at Lu Chen's malicious smile.
, Wang Gui and Wei Ting took another half step back unconsciously.
"If you ask me, you are just mentally ill. I only have a village gifted by your majesty, and there are only a few hundred people in the village. How can you rebel with five hundred kilograms of iron? Don't mention me to me.
That nonsense about Zhuangzi being close to Chang'an! How many defenders are there in Chang'an? Your heads are on your butts, right?" Lu Chen felt that this was not enough and continued to point at Wang Gui and Wei Ting and scold them!
