After a day, the morning court was held again.

After the worship was over, Lu Chen was waiting for the eunuch to shout, "If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat from the court", and when he finished shouting, he would make a recital.

However, the eunuch who had a very loud voice in the past was dumb at this time, and he didn't say a word.

At this time, Lu Chen suddenly keenly felt that a gaze fell on him directly above.

"Lu Qing."

The empress looked at Lu Chen, with a bright smile on her face.

"Before the New Yuan Ceremony began, you gave me a great gift."

？？？

Lu Chen looked confused, completely unaware of why.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

The empress did not answer directly, but smiled slightly, then turned her head and looked at the top military attaches standing in front of the military attaché array, and finally fixed her gaze on Wang Qian.

Wang Qian understood and stood up directly.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!"

As the commander-in-chief of the Qingning Army, he clasped his fists with both hands, first congratulated the empress, and then raised his voice and said:

"My Qingning army lived up to the holy order, has broken through Nankang City yesterday, suppressed countless thieves, including the thief head in Jiuyuan, including a group of anti-thieves all ambushed, and then the guards took advantage of the victory to pursue, marched overnight, and connected the three cities in one day, and now my Qingning army is like a rainbow, the soldiers are pointed, invincible, within two months, the rebellion in the three provinces will be completely quelled, and the people of the world will be a peaceful and prosperous world."

As soon as these words came out, many courtiers showed a slight look of surprise on their faces.

Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't react for a while.

He understood Wang Gan's words, it was nothing more than that the imperial court had won the battle, and he, the chief officer of the Qingning Army, was fortunate to live up to his life.

Yu Jiuyuan is the number one thief in the world, and once he dies, there is a high probability that other thieves who have not yet become a climate will not be able to make any waves, and it is only a matter of time before they quell the rebellion.

In fact, as long as the internal stability of the court, the stability of the country, and the monarch of the dynasty are not outrageously mediocre, the monk will be a little more individual, restrain himself, or do some personnel, with the background of the court, as long as he makes a slight move, unless the son of the Mandate of Heaven comes into the world, these thieves will basically not be able to make trouble.

It's a pity that the national fortune of Great Xia is not so important to the demon queen's henchmen, or some monks.

Anyway, no matter how the world changes, the political ecology of Middle-earth will not change, if you want to make the country stable for a long time, you must rely on the monks, otherwise, if nothing else, the endless terrifying spiritual disasters alone are enough to make a dynasty's national fortunes lose quickly, and gradually step into the abyss of destruction.

But in any case, the court won the battle and quelled the rebellion, and did not let the spark that could overthrow a dynasty be completely ignited, which was a good thing for the empress who had just become pro-government and was in dire need of merit, but ......

What does this have to do with him Lu Chen?

The inexplicable words that the empress said just now seemed to be the first contributor to this counterinsurgency.

He has never been to Tianlan Province at all, and he doesn't even know where the political envoy Yamen is going, even if something big happens in Tianlan Province, can he have a Mao relationship with him?

Immediately afterwards, as if to solve his doubts, Wang Gan said again:

"According to the attack on Nankang City, the commander of Yuzhou Wei who broke through Nankang City, and the commander of Sui Zhouwei made Su Shuang jointly report that this battle, in addition to the soldiers who were not afraid of death and fought bravely to kill the enemy, thanks to a righteous soldier named Li Heng in the thief army, who abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, provided a lot of extremely critical information for our Wang Division, and created chaos in the city occupied by the thieves in advance, so that the thief leader was tired of dealing with civil strife, and then opened the city gate by fraud, so that our army entered the city at the smallest cost, and the thief army was caught off guard, and the battle was complete."

"And the reason why Li Heng suddenly woke up and tried his best to help our army was because he was ordered by the thief leader Yu Jiuyuan to go to Yuzhou to destroy the Tianmen Mountain Dam, and saw that the people of Yuzhou loved the imperial court very much in the dam area, and the situation of Yuzhou Wei and Suizhou Wei soldiers and people, and was moved by this prosperous image, and suddenly couldn't bear to harm them, let alone see the lives ruined, so he put down the butcher's knife on the spot, and was determined to contribute to the rebellion of the imperial court."

Speaking of this, a touch of emotion quietly flashed on his still mighty old face.

Hearing this, Lu Chen inexplicably recalled in his mind that when Fu Huan came to visit before, he mentioned it to him meaningfully, saying that the two horse sellers were going to give him a "surprise".

At the time, he just thought about it casually, and left it behind without a clue.

But now, he understands everything.

Looking at Wang Gan, who was talking about everything that happened in Yuzhouwei and Suizhouwei when they were controlling the water not far away, and seemed to think that the two guards were more worthy of boasting than pacifying the rebellion in the three provinces, Lu Chen's eyes gradually became complicated.

At this moment, he subconsciously wanted to grab the two horse sellers, put the sword of the extreme path around their necks, and let them translate for him, what TMD, call TMD surprise!

Wang Qian glanced at Lu Chen, and when he saw that he happened to look at him at this time, he immediately smiled at him kindly, and his smile was full of some respect, which was similar to the two of Lu Chen's previous proposal in the court to let Yu and Sui Liangwei replace the laboring people to control the water.

Lu Chen: "......"

Wang Qian retracted his gaze, and then said with a solemn face:

"Your Majesty, Yuzhou Wei and Sui Zhouwei were brought out by the old ministers, what kind of character are the two generals Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, and what kind of temperament are the two guards and fifty thousand sons, the old ministers know better than anyone else, with their virtues, not to mention the benevolence and righteousness of the anti-thieves, they can face the people squarely, or it is not bad not to bully the people, it is impossible to take the initiative to treat the people well, this is all the fault of the old ministers, they only taught them their skills, but did not teach them the principles of being human beings, and the responsibility of being an official of the Great Xia Dynasty."

"It can even be said that before this, the old minister did not know the real way of governing the army, here, the old man wants to solemnly thank a person, it is he who taught Zhang Shiping, Su Shuang and other soldiers the truth of being a man, so that Yu and Sui Liangwei 50,000 sons and daughters have become real teachers of benevolence and righteousness, and also taught the old man, what is a soldier in Great Xia!"

As he spoke, he suddenly turned around and bowed heavily to Lu Chen.

"Lu Shilang, please bow to the old man!"

Seeing this scene, although everyone felt something, they couldn't help but be surprised.

What kind of person is Wang Qian?

The generals relied on by the first emperor, who dominated the battlefield for decades, and was one of the highest-ranking military attaches in the Great Xia Dynasty except for the Eight Great Pillar Kingdoms, whether it was qualifications, connections, prestige or strength, it was an existence that could not be ignored.

But such a person actually gave this great gift to a young man who had been in officialdom for less than half a year, had shallow qualifications, and was only 20 years old......

And he was obviously incompatible with Lu Chen before, but now he is so respectful.

How powerful is this Lu Chen?!

Horrible, horrible!

In an instant, the eyes of some courtiers looking at Lu Chen quietly revealed indescribable awe.

And Lu Chen himself is numb to his scalp about this.

Good fellow, people sit at home, and woe comes from heaven!

The next round of the three-month-long system cycle has begun, and he is now in a high position in the third rank, a minister of the Gawen Yuan Pavilion, and a county duke, so he can participate in the decision-making of the empire clearly and honestly, and he has now won the trust of the emperor, and he is fully qualified to do things, if he wants to make a difference, he can do it without being promoted, and he does not need too high an official position for the time being.

And he doesn't have a team now, and he naturally can't get along with the current civil and official system, so he can't pee in a pot at all, even if he becomes the elder of the Sange Pavilion, it doesn't make much sense, and what he can do is similar to what he does now.

What's more, now is not the time for promotion at all.

If he was added to the title of secretary of the military department for some reason, or even the title of prince and princess, this round of system rewards would basically be completely blown up.

Not to mention the hundredfold reward of demotion, thank God for the guaranteed reward that can keep the official position unchanged.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, instinctively staggered his position, and then shook his head, and said: "General Wang's words are serious, this official just did what he should do as the governor of the two states, and did his duty in the matter, and he deserves to be like this." ”

"Lu Shilang is too modest."

Wang Qian shook his head, his face still full of solemnity.

"Since the old man served as the chief soldier of the Qingning Army, he was ordered to quell the rebellion in Tianlan and other three provinces, it has been three years, and although the old man has never slackened in the matter of suppressing thieves, and the Qingning Army has also made a lot of contributions, but he has never been able to completely quell the rebellion, that Yu Jiuyuan has become stronger and stronger, and even to the point where he can fight with the imperial court, and has completely become the trouble of the imperial court.

"And Lu Shilang, you obviously just went to Yuzhou to assist Xiao Ge Lao to control the water, but in just one month, with the way of benevolence and righteousness, he was able to influence the thief leader, so that the Qingning Army was able to annihilate the rebels in Jiuyuan in one fell swoop, and easily did what the old man failed to do in three years."

He kept telling all kinds of details of this battle, and his words also made Lu Chen once again deeply feel how important Chai Hongyu's entry into Beijing without hesitation was to the imperial court.

To put it bluntly, the reason why the rebels entrenched in the northern part of Tianlan Province collapsed in such a short period of time due to the family wealth accumulated by Yu Jiuyuan over the years, and even Yu Jiuyuan himself was killed.

It's really a red jade for success, and a red jade for defeat.

Wang Gan continued: "Although Lu Shilang did not personally participate in the war to pacify the three provinces, if it weren't for Lu Shilang's incomparable benevolence and righteousness, he influenced the Burning Sky Holy Maiden Chai Hongyu to solve this more tricky enemy than Yu Jiuyuan for the imperial court, and remove the right-hand man of the thief leader, how could the thief army reveal such a big flaw, so that the Qingning army could settle the battle in one battle?" Moreover, Lu Shilang also taught Zhang Shiping the generals with good intentions, so that Liangwei became a benevolent and righteous teacher who was deeply loved by the people, so how could Li Heng help him? ”

Speaking of this, he bowed down to the empress again and said a sentence that almost made Lu Chen unable to breathe-

"That's why, the old minister, as well as all the soldiers of Yuzhou Wei and Sui Zhouwei, unanimously believe that this battle of Qingyun and the battle of Nankang, and even the entire counterinsurgency war, Lu Shilang should be the first to take the lead!"

It's the first one again!

Some courtiers had a look of envy in their eyes.

In the matter of the wasteland, Lu Chen obviously didn't even touch a single hair of the Queen Mother and her henchmen, and he got a monstrous achievement from Gu Simiao's hands that was enough to seal the prince.

This is a real military feat!

This time, he pacified the chaos in the three provinces, and this guy didn't show his face again, so he was pushed by the commander-in-chief of the Qingning Army and the commander of the two guards, who clearly hated him before.

Although the merit of countering the rebellion is not as good as Gu Simiao's supreme merit of killing the demon queen and her henchmen, and completely eliminating the unsubordinate for the empress, it is also a real military feat, which is enough to make Lu Chen go further in the title, and it is also of great benefit to his career.

The thought of this makes them have a toothache.

At the same time, the moment Wang Qian's words fell, the empress squinted her eyes, obviously very satisfied with his general words, and her gaze at him was not as unpleasant as before.

She opened her mouth and was about to follow Wang Gan's words.

However, at this very moment-

"General Wang, the three provinces have not been appeased, and the people are still being devastated by the anti-thieves, and it is still too early to speak up."

But it was Lu Chen who stood up and said seriously:

"Now it's just a matter of killing the rebels in the Jiuyuan family, it's not yet time to celebrate, and you can't be careless, the more times like this, the more you should be cautious, and you can't be carried away by the victory in front of you, otherwise it will only give the enemy a chance to take advantage of it, and watch the victory that is about to disappear."

"Killing one Yu Jiuyuan, no one can guarantee that there will not be a second Yu Jiuyuan who will stand up and raise his arms, when will the rebellion in the three provinces be completely quelled, and the people will be restored to peace, and then it will not be too late to reward meritorious deeds."

The moment these words fell, the others were still envious and jealous of Lu Chen, guessing what official he would be promoted this time and how many titles he would mention, but Yan Song, who was originally there, suddenly stared at him.

Life is so proud, and I can still clarify my heart as always, not arrogant or impatient.

This young man is really amazing.

And Lu Chen, the "source of turmoil", is so good, it is not a good thing for him who is committed to maintaining the imperial court and maintaining the stability of the world......

Hearing this, Wang Gan's expression suddenly turned grim, and when he looked at Lu Chen's gaze, that trace of respect instantly became a little thicker.

"What Lu Shilang said is that now is indeed not the time to be complacent."

He bowed slightly towards Lu Chen, clasped his fists and said:

"When the next dynasty comes, the old man will pay out of his own pocket and use thousands of miles to send Lu Shilang's warning words to the Qingning army, so that they can guard against arrogance and rashness, and they must not get carried away because of a moment's success."

Wang Qian decisively admitted his mistake, what else could Lu Chen say besides "so very good"?

Anyway, there is a high probability that this credit will not be able to run away, so I can only find a way to drag it back, drag it through this settlement cycle as much as possible, and let him get the system reward in his hands.

Although the next cycle is not short, a whole month, it is better than the rewards of this cycle being pitted.

At the same time, what the empress originally wanted to say was also swallowed back.

What Lu Chen said just now was already very clear, it was a bit inappropriate for her to propose a reward at this time, so she had to secretly write down this matter, and reward it heavily in the future, after all, she couldn't treat Lu Chen badly.

When the dust settles on the counterinsurgency, Lu Chen will have no reason to refuse the reward again.

And so it went.

Then the empress shook her head and asked, "Do you Aiqing have anything important to do?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen stood up again.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has something to do."

The empress was immediately interested.

"Lu Qing, please speak."
