The two of them have made great contributions in the frontier, if it weren't for them to recapture Minzhou City, a major frontier city, Chang'an City would be dangerous. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It can be seen from the map that from Minzhou City to Chang'an City, there is no natural danger to defend at all. Moreover, the distance between the two cities is only three to five days, and if it is a cavalry, it only takes about two days to complete the middle part of the journey.

It was precisely because of this reason that the Tibetan general was willing to take a huge risk and help Lin Yuan capture Minzhou City. Once Minzhou City was controlled by Tubo, Chang'an City immediately became very dangerous.

When the time comes, Tang Xuanzong will definitely move the capital. Otherwise, it will be necessary to deploy heavy troops in Chang'an City, but in this way, the consumption will become very large. After a long time, even this prosperous Tang Dynasty can't bear it.

Therefore, Lu Chen's recapture of Chang'an City this time can be said to have indirectly saved Datang, and it is reasonable to be so grandly welcomed, but they didn't think about it so much. At that time, Lu Chen's seizure of Minzhou City was also due to a large part of the reason for his interest in the property left by the Jiang family.

However, now he naturally will not say what he thought at the beginning. When the residents of Chang'an City learned of their return, they immediately made way for them to make a road that led directly to the palace.

Lu Chen and Li Xinran rode forward in front, and more than 20 carriages slowly followed. Seeing the carriage covered in black cloth, these people who welcomed them couldn't help but start to speculate with curiosity. Some people speculate that it is the loot, after all, they have just won a battle, and the loot is definitely a lot. Some people also say that it is a specialty they brought from Minzhou City, after all, it is the birthday of Tang Xuanzong soon.

All kinds of theories began to circulate, and for a time the contents of the twenty-odd carriages became the focus of everyone's conversation, of course, the vast majority of them still considered these to be trophies.

The group followed the path that people had dodged and went straight to the palace. In front of the Suzaku Gate, Lu Chen and the others were intercepted, and these soldiers were going to conduct a routine inspection of their carriage.

Seeing this scene, Lu Chen's brows furrowed slightly, it was not that he didn't want to be searched, but that the carriage was full of gold and silver, and Lu Chen was afraid that showing it in broad daylight like this might cause a riot. However, it is impossible for these people to be allowed in without the special permission of the Holy One.

At the moment when Lu Chen was about to dismount and be inspected, he heard a shrill male duck voice from inside the door, "Is it General Lu and General Li who have arrived?" The Holy Lord's decree allows the two generals to enter the palace directly without having to be checked! ”

Hearing this, the guards guarding both sides of the Suzaku Gate immediately saluted them and let them go directly!

And the people who came outside were shocked when they saw this. In their memory, these were the first two generals who were able to enter the palace without being inspected over the years.

As soon as Lu Chen and the others entered the palace, this father-in-law immediately guided them to the front, and on the way to the palace, Lu Chen and the others followed the father-in-law in front of them to turn left and right. Finally, when he came to a square, the father-in-law suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "Two generals, Your Majesty is invited!" As for the others, please rest in the pavilion of this place for a while."

Lu Chen comforted Lian Feng, who was full of nervousness, he had only heard about Chang'an City before, although he was a little nervous, but he could still control it. Only now did he know that he had actually entered the palace!

Hearing Lu Chen's comforting words, Lian Feng nodded stiffly, but the nervousness on his face still did not decrease in the slightest. Lu Chen was helpless, this young man was very good in everything, but he was too timid, and he had to let him change if he had the opportunity in the future.

Lu Chen and Li Xinran followed the father-in-law and walked straight towards the magnificent hall in front of them. Entering the main hall, Lu Chen saw Tang Xuanzong sitting on the chair in front of him at first glance. Seeing the two of them coming, Tang Xuanzong waved his hand and asked the surrounding guards and the father-in-law to retreat.

Tang Xuanzong first glanced at the two of them with emotion, and then exclaimed, "Datang can have young and promising generals like you, it's really a blessing for Datang!" ”

Hearing Tang Xuanzong's unhesitant exaggeration, Lu Chen hurriedly saluted and said, "Your Majesty is serious, the last general just did what he had to do!" ”

"Haha, this sentence is not an exaggeration, if it weren't for the fact that you recaptured Minzhou City, I'm afraid this Chang'an City would be in danger, and I would also move the capital!" After hearing Lu Chen's modest words, Tang Xuanzong said very seriously.

And hearing Tang Xuanzong's words, Lu Chen was stunned, he really hadn't thought about it so much before, but this name of protecting the family and defending the country was not harmful to him, and Lu Chen naturally accepted it very happily.

At this time, Li Xinran next to him smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you see that we have made such a great contribution, should we give some rewards?" ”

Hearing Li Xinran's words, Tang Xuanzong was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "This is naturally there, or I will find you a wishful husband?" ”

"Don't, Your Majesty, I still don't want to give a reward!" Hearing this, Li Xinran was so frightened that she hurriedly said.

"Okay, I won't joke with you, Lu Chen, you tell me about the situation of this battle!" Speaking of this, the smile on Tang Xuanzong's face also dissipated a lot, after all, a famous general who could rank on the Tang Dynasty actually rebelled, and Tang Xuanzong was very puzzled in shock.

Hearing Tang Xuanzong's inquiry, Lu Chen did not answer immediately, but asked, "Didn't General Lin Yuan come to confess?" ”

"This traitor, he will come and confess his guilt?" Hearing Lu Chen's question, Tang Xuanzong was even more puzzled.

Lu Chen sighed lightly, he didn't think that Lin Yuan had escaped on the way, there should be some unfulfilled wish. Subsequently, he told Tang Xuanzong about this matter in detail, and of course, the part about his construction of the Holy City was automatically ignored. And before coming here, Lu Chen also specially told Li Xinran not to leak her mouth, after all, this is a city that even Tang Xuanzong doesn't know. Once exposed, Lu Chen will face the suspicion of bullying the king.

After hearing the beginning and end of this war, I saw Tang Xuanzong sitting on the dragon chair and sighed, "This Jiang family really deserves to be killed!" After the emperor unified the Tang Dynasty, their Jiang family fully supported our Tang Dynasty to eliminate the remnants of the enemy, and Gaozu did not do anything to them, but I didn't expect the people of this family to be so ruthless in secret! ”

At this time, Lu Chen suddenly clenched his fists and pleaded, "Your Majesty, in fact, General Lin Yuan was also blinded by hatred for a while, and I hope that Your Majesty will be light!" ”

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Tang Xuanzong glanced at Lu Chen with some surprise, and said in a deep voice, "Don't you know that interceding for the traitorous general will lead to fire?" ”
