Chapter 100: Shocking Results!
Hearing Tang Xuanzong's questioning, Lu Chen did not flinch, and said in a sonorous voice, "The last general and General Lin Yuan are only a few acquaintances. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 However, the last general can see that this general is still very loyal to the Tang Dynasty and His Majesty, and he did not respond to the Tubo army besieging the city outside when he attacked the city this time, but simply went for revenge! ”
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Tang Xuanzong pondered for a moment, and after a long time, he sighed, "Okay, since you have the heart to cherish your talents, I will promise you." If he does come back and confess his guilt, I can spare his life, but he must be placed under house arrest in Chang'an City to make an example! ”
Hearing Tang Xuanzong's words, Lu Chen hurriedly saluted and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, the last general will thank Your Majesty for General Lin!" ”
After speaking, Lu Chen took out a piece of paper from his arms, handed it to Tang Xuanzong, and said, "Your Majesty, these are the wealth accumulated by the Jiang family over the past hundred years, and the last general will make his own decisions and give one-fifth of it to those who have been persecuted by the Jiang family, and ask Your Majesty to forgive me!" “
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Tang Xuanzong laughed, and then said very seriously, "You did the right thing, why did Your Majesty punish you?" I also feel very guilty about what happened to these people of the Tang Dynasty. If I really punish you today, I'm afraid everyone in the world will feel chills over me! ”
After speaking, Tang Xuanzong lowered his head and began to look at the number of gold, silver, jewelry, and various precious antiquities recorded on this piece of paper. After just one glance, Tang Xuanzong already had a shocked face. He suppressed the shock on his face and continued to look at it, the further back he looked, the more frightened he became.
For a long time, when Tang Xuanzong browsed these thrilling numbers, he raised his head and forgot to glance into the distance with a complicated gaze. Those shocking numbers seemed to still be beating in front of his eyes, barely calming down the shock in his heart, he glanced at Lu Chen and the others, and then said with emotion, "I didn't expect that this Jiang family, who only controls a Minzhou City, can actually sit on such a terrifying wealth!" I'm afraid that the gold and silver you brought back will be able to fill one-third of the Datang Vault! ”
Lu Chen nodded, and echoed, "Yes, when I saw this for the first time, I was also shocked for a long time and couldn't come back to my senses, who would have thought that a small Jiang family would be so terrifying!" ”
At this time, Li Xinran next to him whispered in Lu Chen's ear, "You didn't tell me about this!?" You're my lieutenant! ”
Lu Chen pretended not to hear it and still looked at Tang Xuanzong, ignoring Li Xinran who was muttering quietly.
Tang Xuanzong thought for a moment, and then said in a serious tone: "You two have made such a great achievement, not only recaptured Chang'an and stabilized the Tang Dynasty, but also brought such a huge wealth. I will reward you both as loyal generals today, and as for the fief, I will give it to you when you are older! ”
Hearing this, Lu Chen and Li Xinran immediately saluted and said respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" But Lu Chen secretly slandered himself in his heart: this is just a name, and there is no actual benefit at all.
However, although it was only a name, Lu Chen was not so disappointed. Anyway, he already has his own base, and whether he has a fief or not has little impact on Lu Chen.
Although it is only nominal, General Zhongwu is a fourth-grade general, and even in the army, he can be in charge alone. And if in the cities of various places, this kind of character can suppress the existence of one side.
In any case, Lu Chen is also a figure with a certain status now, and he is no longer the young man who could only rely on the identity of the prince of the Zhenguo General's Mansion before.
Tang Xuanzong asked Lu Chen about some reasons for this rebellion, and Tang Xuanzong was very concerned about this matter. He didn't dare not pay attention, this time he was lucky, Lu Chen happened to be there. If there is no Lu Chen, Minzhou City, the gateway from Tubo to Chang'an City, will change hands!
Since this incident happened, Tang Xuanzong has finally become vigilant against the generals who have been stationed on the frontier all year round. This is not to say that Tang Xuanzong no longer trusts the people in the military, but he pays more attention to the movement of the frontier than before, once there is anything abnormal, Tang Xuanzong will definitely immediately send someone to investigate, and completely prevent this kind of thing from happening again.
Lu Chen and Li Xinran didn't stay in this palace for long, and when the two came out of it, they saw that the father-in-law who had taken them in before was already waiting outside the palace. After seeing the two come out, the father-in-law immediately presented two official seals, and at the same time took back Lu Chen's original official seals.
Li Xinran looked at her official seal, and then at Lu Chen's official seal, and frowned slightly, "Then will your official title be the same as mine in the future?" ”
Lu Chen nodded and said, "Of course, what, you still want to be one step older than me?" ”
Hearing Lu Chen's words, I saw Li Xinran pouting and saying, "Hmph, your mother told me that if you dare to bully me, let me go to her!" ”
Lu Chen: "............", it seems that this little girl can't get rid of it by herself.

The northern Xinjiang of the Tang Dynasty is dry all year round, and the people are fierce. As a result, the Turks in the north often harassed the Tang border, causing untold suffering to the civilians here. It was not until the DPRK sent the general of Zhenguo to come to the town that the Turks were stationed outside the border of the Tang Dynasty, and the people here won a stable life.
General Zhenguo, Lu Yi has a great reputation here. On the side of the Tang Dynasty, whether it is a soldier or an ordinary civilian, they love and respect this general, while the Turks are extremely afraid of this god-like figure.
At noon one day, this powerful man in northern Xinjiang was observing Shatu in his house, discussing with several generals the surrounding defenses in case of a surprise attack by the Turks. Suddenly, a herald came, the soldier knocked lightly on the door, and after getting permission, the person handed Lu Yi a letter, just saying that it was from the Zhenguo General's Mansion, and the herald withdrew.
When Lu Yi heard this, he looked into the distance in a daze. After a long time, he sighed and slowly opened the envelope. But when he saw the contents of the letter, the general, whose face had not changed once in the face of the enemy, was shocked at this time, and then only heard him laugh twice.
In the puzzled eyes of the people around him, Lu Yi said with a radiant face, "How can my Lu Yi's son be a waste?" Now let's see who dares to gossip! Hahaha~"
Lu Yi said to everyone inexplicably, and then he handed the letter to several generals beside him, and when these people saw the inside of the letter, the shock on their faces was no less than Lu Yi.
After one of the generals calmed down his mind, he said slowly, "I have a little impression of this Lin Yuan, I participated in the war against Tubo with him back then, and this person must be above me in terms of strength and strategy!" I didn't expect it to be planted in the hands of the prince today! ”
Hearing this person's words, several generals around him suddenly looked shocked, they didn't know what the strength of this Lin Yuan was, but now there was an intuitive comparison, which made a group of generals feel unbelievable.
