Chapter 143: The Duke

The killing of the demon queen's henchmen is undoubtedly a huge credit for the current imperial court, no matter how generous the reward is.

And it's a military feat!

You must know that Great Xia was knighted for military merits, if there is not enough military merit, no matter how big the official is, how famous he is, and how heavy his power is, it is impossible to be knighted.

Not even the lowliest baron.

And with this great merit, Gu Simiao can even be directly promoted to the first-class national prince on the spot, and she is also the kind that has a real seal and a hereditary replacement, becoming a new nobleman above her father, and shining on the lintel.

But she did not hesitate to emphasize Lu Chen's huge role in this incident, and offered to share the credit with Lu Chen equally.

At this point, the position of the prince of the country is gone, and the food has to shrink a lot.

At most, you can only fish for one county duke.

What a great deal of affection and righteousness!

How so. It makes people envious, jealous and hateful!

At this moment, the courtiers' eyes were full of jealousy when they looked at Lu Chen.

Although Lu Chen did not hesitate to gamble everything he had for the sake of taking care of his family, and took a huge risk to get this reward, the courtiers were still envious, jealous and hateful about it.

That's the Duke!

Although it will only be a county prince at most, it is also a real nobleman, a high-class nobleman who can hereditarily replace, rest with the country, and grace the descendants of all generations!

The privileges and resources enjoyed by the aristocracy, even the most modest monks, could not be indifferent to them.

After all, becoming a nobleman is a great help in spiritual practice.

Not to mention anything else, just the sharing of national fortunes is enough to make countless monks crazy, but most of the people who can be knighted by virtue of military merits are only martial artists, and it is extremely difficult for the Holy Martial Arts to cultivate together, and few people can make great achievements that are enough to obtain the hereditary title of replacement, which makes people dare not hope for it.

But now, there is a chance for someone to obtain the title of county duke as a civil servant.

When they saw this with their own eyes, how could they not be jealous?

And when he heard that Gu Simiao actually wanted to give credit to himself, Lu Chen was suddenly so moved that his tear ducts were about to collapse, his face turned red suddenly, and he looked so excited that he couldn't help himself.

It would have been difficult to be dismissed, but at this time, you will give me a title that is even more difficult to remove?!

What's more, the devil knows if the title is considered an official in the system's judgment.

If it's not good, it's a big deal to make a windfall, just to leave an extra inheritance for Luo Xiaoyu, a little rich woman, anyway, the empress's favor to him is already incredibly high, as the so-called lice are too much to itch, and if there are too many debts, they don't worry, how can they love.

But if he counts, he will hardly want to become an immortal by being dismissed in this life.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen's mind was racing rapidly, constantly thinking about how to reasonably push away this huge achievement that had made countless monks crazy.

However, before he could speak, the empress simply said neatly:

"Good! Gu Aiqing is really selfless and understands righteousness, I admire it to the fullest, since this is the case, I am an adult, this credit is Lu Qing's share, and Lu Qing also has a place in today's triumphant holy scripture. ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen's eyes suddenly widened, and he subconsciously shouted:

"Your Majesty, no!"

The empress turned her head and looked over, staring at Lu Chen's gaze, but there was no trace of surprise.

Obviously, Lu Chen's reaction was completely unexpected by her.

In the urgency, Lu Chen couldn't find any justifiable reason at all.

After all, Gu Simiao is reasonable, according to her, she really played a big role in this matter.

You must know that Empress Dowager Zhao and her henchmen are an extremely dangerous force.

Don't look at them being chased by the Cangming Holy King as a lost dog, but that's just because the power of the holy relics is extremely domineering, and the Cangming Holy King who has the holy relics is too powerful.

The power of a saint is an extraordinary power that surpasses the power of immortals.

The Holy King is strong, but it doesn't mean that the Empress Dowager Zhao must be weak.

What's more, Empress Dowager Zhao must still have a lot of life-saving hole cards, and the immortal treasure that allowed her to escape in the hands of the Holy King is just one of them, she must have other unpredictable spiritual treasures in her hands, and at the same time, the strength of Xiahou Yan, the former commander of the forbidden army, is also extremely strong, and there are many masters under him.

If you are not fully prepared, even if you don't overturn, it will be difficult to kill the always cautious and suspicious Empress Dowager Zhao.

So he desperately kept the Gu family, and the part of the military funds that Gu Simiao saved was very important.

Even if it is unintentional, under the limitations of the system, this credit is not easy to shirk.

You have to find a valid excuse.

But it wasn't until the CPU in Lu Chen's mind was about to dry up and smoke that he said with a loud voice: "Whoever the credit should be, it is who's, how can you say that the credit is shared?" Besides, Weichen was far away in Luojing, he didn't participate in the war in Huangzhou at all, and he didn't have an enemy in his hands, he just did what he had to do in the court, how could he ask General Gu and Canglingjun to make great achievements to the death? This is absolutely not possible! ”

"According to the laws of Great Xia."

Regarding Lu Chen's refusal, Gu Simiao obviously expected it, and said directly lightly: "Whether you participate in the war or not, even if you are thousands of miles away, as long as it is the key to the decisive factor in the outcome of the war, the person who is related to it can be regarded as the hero who led the soldiers of the imperial court to defeat the enemy." ”

Hearing this, the corners of Lu Chen's mouth twitched.

This woman... It seems to be a lot more difficult than the empress......

Immediately afterwards, without waiting for him to open his mouth to refute, the empress seemed to have been inspired by some kind of inspiration, and took over the conversation very narrowly and said: "At the beginning, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty thought that Gu Aiqing had betrayed the imperial court, and even I thought so, and when I was about to kill the Gu family, only Lu Qing and you alone firmly believed that Gu Aiqing did not betray the imperial court and saved the Gu family. ”

"Therefore, you are the only person who is related to what Gu Aiqing just said, if you are not qualified to receive merit, who else is qualified in this world?"

These words were like a sharp knife, stabbing directly into Lu Chen's heart.

Your Majesty, Lao Tzu is so loyal to you, why do you backstab me again and again?

No, this TM is a spurt, right?

At this time, Gu Simiao said again: "Lu Zhishi don't want to say anything that should be right, this matter is not within the scope of your responsibility, but you took the initiative to take over this matter, it can be considered that this is your own judgment on the situation in the wasteland, and then put it into action, protect the Gu family, so that Zai Xia can kill the demon queen without any worries, so ......"

"In this battle, you have contributed a lot to Lu's affairs!"

These words were like a final word, and they made Lu Chen's ears buzz.

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something more, but when the words of forcible argument came to his mind, the system's prompt sounded at the same time.

"Alright."

The empress suddenly stood up, jumped off the dragon bowl lightly, and walked to Lu Chen.

"I know that Lu Qing has always adhered to your duty and never coveted power, but it should be yours, it is yours, no one can snatch it, and you can't snatch it away, and push what belongs to you out, this is not a gentleman's doing, since this credit has Lu Qing's share, you can follow it well, but don't make it difficult for me and Gu Aiqing."

Hearing this, Lu Chen was suddenly "moved" to tears.

And the surrounding courtiers saw Lu Chen desperately pushing the crazy military exploits outward, and the dignified Emperor of Great Xia and the general of the Pillar Kingdom, one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms, kept feeding military exploits into his mouth, and their eyes were almost so jealous that they could breathe fire.

At this moment, almost all of them were hard.

The fist is hard!

I owe 2k, and I'll make it up tomorrow......
