"Of course I, Wang Gui, am a loyal person who serves the country. The reason why I lost my composure just now is because I was angered by you, a country man!" Wang Gui had calmed down at this time and stared at Lu Chen with cold eyes. If eyes could kill, I guess.
At this time, Lu Chen had been cut into pieces by Wang Gui.
Wang Gui can be regarded as a famous person. As the face of the Wang family in Taiyuan in the court, Wang Gui is also a famous person. He is also a prominent figure among the five surnames and seven hopes. He was just squeezed out by Lu Chen and was seeking death. This matter is rumored
Going out, he really couldn't keep up his face, so Wang Gui was still prepared to get this place back.
"Oh! Your Excellency's dedication to serve the country means you are seeking death and survival?" Lu Chen seemed to have no intention of letting Wang Gui go, and continued to use Wang Gui's performance just now to try to squeeze Wang Gui. In fact, Lu Chen did not expect that he could do it with just two words.
To squeeze Wang Gui is to hit a wall, isn't it said that some people in high positions are best at being shameless? Why is this Wang Gui different?
"Don't mention this matter again. What we are talking about now is the matter of serving the country with loyalty!" Wang Gui's face was almost green with anger. He didn't expect that Lu Chen could be so messy. If it weren't for the fact that this is the Tai Chi Hall, if it weren't for Li Yuan and the group
With all the ministers sitting here, Wang Gui wanted to pick up the wine bottle on the small table and throw it at Lu Chen.
"Yes! It's about serving the country with all your loyalty! But why does Wang Zhongyun want to seek death and survive?" Lu Chen finally grasped the matter of Wang Gui's seeking death and refused to let go. He still looked at Wang Gui with a puzzled expression on his face.
How innocent, how innocent.
"You..." When Lu Chen repeatedly mentioned the matter of "seeking death and finding a living", Wang Gui became a little angry and could only point his trembling fingers at Lu Chen.
At this moment, sitting next to Wang Gui was a middle-aged man with a thin face who was wearing a court uniform of the fifth rank or higher and said directly to Lu Chen: "We are talking about serving the country with all our loyalty. It's a bit unreasonable for you to be so arrogant."
It’s unreasonable!”
"Oh?" Lu Chen became more and more interested when he saw someone speaking for Wang Gui. "May I ask who this gentleman is?" Lu Chen raised his hand to this person.
"I am Wei Ting!" The middle-aged man's voice was very cold, and there was a trace of anger in his eyes as he looked at Lu Chen.
"Oh! It turns out it was Zuo Wei who led Mr. Wei! Disrespect! Disrespect!" Lu Chen raised his hand to Wei Ting again, "No wonder Mr. Wei is aggrieved for Wang Zhongyun!" Lu Chen looked at Wei Ting and sneered. The meaning of this was obvious.
You two are both from the East Palace, so you are basically the same person. Moreover, your Jingzhao Wei family is not much worse than the Taiyuan Wang family. You both belong to famous families. Moreover, Wei Ting and Wang Gui have a close personal relationship, so Wei Ting stands up for Wang Gui.
It's not surprising.
Li Yuan and Li Shimin were still surprised that Lu Chen could name Wei Ting's current position. However, while Li Shimin was surprised, they were also a little happy in their hearts, because these two people were from aristocratic families. Don't look at Lu Chen.
Chen seemed to be making a joke, but both inside and outside his words seemed to reveal dissatisfaction with the family, but whether that was the case or not, we have to continue watching. As for Li Xiuning, she kept smiling while watching Lu Chen's performance.
As the consort and Huo Guogong, Chai Shao naturally had to sit next to Li Xiuning. Seeing that Li Xiuning had been letting Lu Chen act like a fool here, he couldn't help but worry a little. After all, Lu Chen was the military advisor of the Detachment of Women. It was really serious if he continued to act like this.
Okay?
Chai Shao couldn't help but frown secretly. He put his head in Li Xiuning's ear and whispered in a worried tone: "Princess, do you really want to let Mr. Lu continue to fool around?" Naturally, Chai Shao would not doubt that Li Xiuning would fall in love with someone else.
However, it was a bit satisfying to see Li Xiuning pampering Lu Chen so much.
"It doesn't matter! Mr. Lu must have his reasons for doing this, just watch!" Li Xiuning turned to look at Chai Shao and said with a smile, "Mr. Lu's ability is beyond our ability to understand!" Li Xiuning gave Chai Shao
Shao gave a reassuring look and signaled Chai Shao to continue watching the show, "In addition, I want to send Zhewei and Lingwu to study under Mr. Lu, but I don't know if these two children have such a fate!"
Looking at Chai Shao, Li Xiuning told Chai Shao his plan, and Chai Shao looked at him in surprise. His wife, the child of the majestic Princess Pingyang of the Tang Dynasty, wanted to be a student of someone else, but she still had to look at the other person's face?
If word gets out that Princess Pingyang wants to find a teacher for Chai Zhewei and Chai Lingwu, how many people will break their heads and come to snatch this job. I am afraid that people who rely on favors to find connections can break the threshold of the princess mansion, and now Li Xiuning actually
This matter depends on whether the two children of the family can be taught by Lu Chen, and it also depends on Lu Chen's wishes!
"Can't we invite Mr. Lu to the princess's residence and be hired as a teacher?" Chai Shao still couldn't help but ask.
"If Mr. Lu is such a talkative person, do you think he would be so arrogant in this Tai Chi Hall now?" Li Xiuning smiled and said to Chai Shao, "Don't look at Mr. Lu from a secular perspective. I can only tell you that we
If my son can learn even 10% of Mr. Lu’s skills, he will be able to stabilize the country!"
"Is it possible that no one in the civil and military circles of the entire dynasty can compare with Mr. Lu?" Chai Shao really couldn't believe Li Xiuning's evaluation of Lu Chen. Although the things Lu Chen invented in the Women's Army did improve the strength of the Tang army, but in other aspects
, Chai Shao still didn’t believe it.
"Compared with Mr. Lu?" After hearing Chai Shao's words, Li Xiuning smiled, "All the famous generals and great scholars in the world are nothing compared to Mr. Lu! Do you understand?"
Li Xiuning whispered a few words into Chai Shao's ear, which made Chai Shao's expression feel as if he was struck by lightning, "Mr. Lu is a banished immortal who descended to earth, do you understand?"
"Understood...understood!" Chai Shao took a long time to react and nodded heavily.
At this time, Lu Chen looked at Wei Ting and said, "Since Mr. Wei has stood up for Wang Zhongyun, why not let Mr. Wei explain what it means to serve the country with loyalty!"
"Serving the country with loyalty is nothing more than sacrificing everything to serve the country. You can sacrifice everything and contribute everything to the country!" Wei Ting's words were full of passion. "Sage Confucius said, 'The king's envoys should be courteous, and the ministers should be loyal to the king'. This is
Serve the country with all your loyalty!" What Wei Ting said was so righteous that he even saluted Li Yuan.
As Wei Ting finished speaking, many officials from the aristocratic families applauded and applauded Wei Ting's words, but many generals just curled their lips because they were the ones who went to the battlefield to lead the troops, this group of civil servants.
The high-profile singing was good, but it was the generals like them who really worked hard. It was a pity that not many of these generals were highly educated, so they couldn't say such quotations from classics.
"Tsk, tsk!" Lu Chen applauded Wei Ting, "Master Wei said well that ministers should be loyal to the king, but I don't know if Master Wei has ever led troops on the battlefield?" Lu Chen looked at Wei Ting.
Lu Chen said with a smile, and Lu Chen's words directly won the favor of all the generals. Although not all civil servants could not go to the battlefield, few of the civil servants from these aristocratic families had ever gone to the battlefield.
"Never!" Wei Ting answered honestly.
"Of course I know that you have never been on the battlefield. Have you ever seen the corpses on the battlefield? Have you ever seen the river of blood? A man sitting at home who only knows how to hold a book actually says that ministers should be loyal to the king. Do you know what it means?
Is empty talk harming the country?" Lu Chen's words were very sharp. Wei Ting's face suddenly changed. Just when he was about to speak, he heard Lu Chen continue to say, "Do you think you are issuing some political orders, serving the prince, and commanding the country?
Is it true that you are loyal to the emperor and patriotic if you lead the guard on the right? It's a joke, that's your duty in that position!" Lu Chen said without politeness at all.
"Okay, sit down!" Seeing that Wei Ting was shaking because of his retort, Lu Chen looked at Wei Ting with contempt, then turned to look at Wang Gui, and looked into Lu Chen's eyes. Wang Gui couldn't help but
Lu Chen shivered, not knowing what he was going to say.
"Wang Zhongyun, you said that I should donate the things I invented, and I can donate them. You said this is a sign of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. Well, I have already made a contribution. Should Wang Zhongyun also donate something?" Lu Chen showed his small white teeth and pointed at the king.
Gui chuckled.
"How are you doing?" Wang Gui was now a little afraid of Lu Chen, and his voice could not help but tremble.
"Your Taiyuan Wang family is known as a famous family and must have a lot of wealth. Why don't you contribute half of your family property to the court? Now that the world has been settled, there are many people who are hungry, so why not give half of your family property to the people of the world, even if you don't have to go to the battlefield?
, this is also an expression of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism! Isn’t dedicating family property to the country an expression of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism?" Lu Chen looked at Wang Gui with a sneer, this is Lu Chen’s idea, didn’t you ask me to dedicate it?
?Then don’t be idle. Your Five Surnames and Seven Hopes occupy so many resources, so contribute some!
As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on Wang Gui. Even Li Yuan's eyes were attracted to Wang Gui. Wang Gui was bombarded repeatedly by Lu Chen. At this time, his whole body was shaking like chaff. Half of the Wang family
The assets are astronomical, and they will directly wipe out the Taiyuan Wang family. There is no way Wang Gui would agree to Lu Chen's request.
"What should I do?!" A layer of cold sweat has broken out on Wang Gui's forehead. Now he has been squeezed out by Lu Chen and is in a difficult position. If he agrees, the Taiyuan Wang family will suffer a huge loss in strength. If he doesn't agree, his reputation will be ruined.
Compared with the family, personal reputation is nothing. Wang Gui thought about it over and over again and decided, screw it! He gritted his teeth, rolled his eyes, and lay down on the ground with a "gudong" sound, fainting!
"Ha!" Lu Chen looked at the fainted Wang Gui and sneered. If such a fuss can make the Taiyuan Wang family hand over half of their assets, then this thousand-year-old family will be too useless. Compared to the family Wang Gui can
Abandoning his own reputation, Lu Chen could only praise that people from aristocratic families are not easy to get along with.
