Chapter 384: Yin by the Emperor!
After hearing Lu Chen's impassioned talk, Tang Xuanzong smiled slightly and said, "Lu Shizi has the ambition to serve the country at such a young age, and I am deeply grateful. Burn? Wen?? ???. r?a?n?? If there are a few more generals like you in my Datang, why won't my Datang be prosperous! ”
Hearing this, Lu Chen said even more modestly, "Your Majesty, don't praise the last general, this is the consciousness that every Tang Dynasty general should have."
Seeing that Lu Chen was so humble, Tang Xuanzong no longer continued to praise Lu Chen, and said softly, "Since you have made such a meritorious achievement, I will definitely reward you well." I don't know what you want now? “
Hearing this, Lu Chen's eyes did not show the slightest surprise, but hurriedly saluted Tang Xuanzong, and said sincerely, "The last general participated in this counterinsurgency, just to serve the Tang Dynasty, and there is absolutely no selfishness." Therefore, the last general did not think of asking for a reward like His Majesty! “
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Tang Xuanzong glanced at Lu Chen with a little meaning. After a moment's deep groaning, he said slowly, "Since you don't want a reward, then I won't force it." In this way, I canonized you as the first son of the Tang Dynasty, I don't know what you think? ”
Hearing this, Lu Chen hurriedly and solemnly saluted Tang Xuanzong, and said very frightenedly, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible, the last general will only be a little clever, whether it is his own strength or in other aspects, he is not worthy of this title, and please take back your majesty's life."
At the same time, Lu Chen scolded Tang Xuanzong, the old fox, n times in his heart. He naturally knew that Tang Xuanzong's intention to appoint him as the first son of the Tang Dynasty was nothing more than seeing that his current ability was somewhat beyond his control, he wanted to use the hands of other forces to weaken or even destroy himself.
It is conceivable that once this title is spread, those descendants of other families will definitely be unconvinced and come to Lu Chen to compete, even if Lu Chen defeats all these competitors in the end, then Lu Chen will get nothing more than a useless reputation.
However, when he heard Lu Chen's refusal, he saw that Tang Xuanzong was also very resolute and said, "I have always had clear rewards and punishments, and you don't have to be so humble." Your merits are visible to all, and it is not an exaggeration to confer this title on you."
Hearing Tang Xuanzong say so resolutely, Lu Chen sighed secretly in his heart and did not refute it again. After all, from Tang Xuanzong's tone, Lu Chen had already heard that he would accept this title today whether he wanted to or not. If he keeps refusing, I am afraid that he will anger Tang Xuanzong in the end. If it does it off, it's no longer something that a title can solve.
After thinking of this, a mixture of gratitude and excitement suddenly flashed in Lu Chen's eyes, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Thank you for Your Majesty's gift, the last general will definitely live up to Your Majesty's gift!" ”
Seeing that Lu Chen accepted this title, Tang Xuanzong immediately laughed and said, "That's right, young people must have confidence in themselves." Alright, go back, and in a little while, I'll announce your title to the public. ”
Hearing Tang Xuanzong's words, Lu Chen immediately retired. In his heart, he scolded Tang Xuanzong again.
After Lu Chen left, Tang Xuanzong looked in the direction of the door and sneered, "This time I should teach you a lesson, if you can't survive this level, you can't blame me for being ruthless." Who made your identity so sensitive, I can't afford to think about it too much! ”
In the past, no matter how dazzling Lu Chen's performance was, Tang Xuanzong didn't want to harm him, at most he thought about suppressing him. However, this time is different, as can be seen from the fact that not long ago, the Jiannan Jiedu envoy vigorously recommended Lu Chen to be the governor of Luzhou. The friendship between the two sides is not shallow.
And Lu Chen, as the son of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, will take over the post of Zhenguo General in the future, if he colludes with the Jiannan Jiedu Envoy, this force is enough to shake the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. How can he feel at ease to watch its development?
When Lu Chen came out of the palace, the smile on his face suddenly dissipated, and his face became a little gloomy. I didn't expect this Tang Xuanzong to come with him with this move, this was to push him to the opposite side of the princes of the major families!
Although Lu Chen is a little confident in his strength now, he is only a little confident, and he is not arrogant enough to really think that he is much stronger than other princes. Thinking of this, Lu Chen secretly said in his heart: It seems that he has to find a way to take off this title. Otherwise, he will always have to accept the competition and challenges from other families in the future.
If Lu Chen refuses the challenge of these princes, then not only him, but even the entire Lu Mansion will be looked down upon by the people of the world. Therefore, as long as Lu Chen still holds this title, he must accept the challenge of these big family descendants.
Lu Chen thought about this as he walked from the Suzaku Gate to the Lu Mansion. Suddenly, Lu Chen only heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves coming from the front, he looked up, only to see a very luxuriously decorated carriage in front of him, and behind the carriage was accompanied by two rows of guards.
The carriage was moving very fast, and the guards behind it ran desperately, and it was only then that they could catch up with the carriage.
In the blink of an eye, the carriage passed by Lu Chen, who glanced at the canopy behind the carriage, but just met a pair of eyes that seemed to contain infinite longing. These eyes seemed to have some kind of magical power, which made Lu Chen's eyes go into a trance for a while. However, immediately afterwards, Lu Chen's eyes flashed, and that trace of trance dissipated in an instant.
After feeling the changes in Lu Chen, the beautiful eyes that appeared from Che Xuan obviously revealed a little surprise. However, the window was immediately blocked by a piece of brocade. The carriage also drove quickly towards the palace. Lu Chen noticed that when the carriage arrived at the Suzaku Gate, it was only the coachman who showed a piece of jade pendant, and even the owner of the carriage did not come out, so the guard respectfully let them in.
Looking at the carriage that disappeared into the palace, a trace of doubt flashed in Lu Chen's eyes, why did he look at those eyes so familiar?
By the way, it's Princess Shou!
At this time, Lu Chen reluctantly remembered the amazing face that Yang Yuhuan revealed after Yang Yuhuan's hijab was lifted on the day he married King Shou. Thinking of this, Lu Chen suddenly concluded in his heart that the person in the carriage just now was Yang Yuhuan. It seems that there is really an ulterior relationship between Tang Xuanzong and Yang Yuhuan.
However, this matter only remained in Lu Chen's mind for a moment, and he left it behind. Now he should think more about how he should take off the title of 'The First Son of the Tang Dynasty'! If you are defeated and give up your title to someone else, it will definitely not be possible. It's one thing to be reluctant to accept the title, and it's another thing to get it and be snatched away. This is about his dignity of Lu Chen, and even more about the face of Lu Fu.
