Zheng Shanguo's three notes, naturally, one was handed over to Li Yuan, one was given to Lu Chen, and the last one was left in his own hands.

Li Yuan looked at the two notes on his dragon book case, and suddenly had a feeling of crying and laughing, today the dynasty didn't do anything, just collected the notes and played, and he, the dignified founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, actually started the work of a middleman, which really made Li Yuan feel an inexplicable sense of powerlessness in his heart, and it is estimated that Lu Chen dared to let him do this kind of thing, right?

"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day! The minister thinks that there is nothing else to do in this dynasty anyway, why don't His Majesty go with him to have a look? It's a good witness, isn't it? Lu Chen smiled at Li Yuan Shili and said, "How boring is it to be bored in this palace all day long?" ”

"Good guys!" Looking at Lu Chen's very casual appearance, all the civil and military ministers shouted "good guy" in their hearts, Emperor Li Yuan hadn't said anything about the retreat from the dynasty, this guy directly gave the matter of retreating from the dynasty, and even invited Li Yuan to Lujiazhuang on the spot, and asked which of the civil and military forces in the Manchu Dynasty had the courage to talk to Li Yuan so casually.

Don't look at Li Yuan, the emperor on weekdays, seems to be very easy-going, and he is good to these civil and military ministers, but in the final analysis, this is also the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so Liu Wenjing has just died a few years ago, is Liu Wenjing and Li Yuan not in good condition? Is the rank low? Liu Wenjing, the secretary of the Minbu Ministry, Lu Guogong, is enough for Niu X, right? Didn't Li Yuan say slaughter it? So it's not wrong to say that a companion is like a companion tiger, and now seeing that Lu Chen is talking to Li Yuan so casually in this Taiji Palace, can everyone not "chuckle" in their hearts?

Of course, there are also those who are ready to watch a good show, those family officials are just going to see how Li Yuan cleans up Lu Chen, can they sell them well and bring those things in Lu Chen's hands to their own homes in a justifiable way? This is what Wang Jue, Wei Ting and Zheng Shanguo are most looking forward to Li Yuan's punishment of Lu Chen, after all, these three people are worse than other family officials, Wang Jue and Wei Ting have already lost to Lu Chen once, and Zheng Shanguo still has five mines The notes have just been written, so these three people are most looking forward to Lu Chen's accident.

On the contrary, these generals who are good friends with Lu Chen are sweating for Lu Chen, of course, only Li Xiuning didn't feel anything, what kind of person Lu Chen is, she knows too well, and the Li family's attitude towards Lu Chen is only known to the Li family.

"Lu Aiqing is right! It's time for me to get out and about! What everyone didn't expect was that Li Yuan actually agreed with Lu Chen's words, and directly asked Chang Bao to announce his "retreat from the dynasty", and all officials above the third grade accompanied Li Yuan to Lujiazhuang to see how Lu Chen increased pig iron production.

The emperor is naturally very particular about the ceremonial guard when he travels, and it takes a while to prepare the ceremonial guard alone.

"I said Your Majesty, it's too troublesome for you to travel here!" While waiting for the guard of honor, Lu Chen couldn't help but mention it beside Li Yuan.

Hearing that Lu Chen actually put forward opinions on the emperor's honor guard, everyone immediately focused their eyes on Lu Chen, and they all wanted to see what the newly promoted Chang'an County Marquis was going to do, and at the same time, they also wanted to see if Li Yuan would clean up this Lu County Marquis who was a little "out of luck".

"Hmmm! It's a bit of a hassle! That's why I don't want to leave the palace! Li Yuan nodded thoughtfully, before he was the emperor, Li Yuan went out with a guard or something, since he became the founding emperor, no matter where he went, it was all kinds of honor guards, and it took a few hours to prepare these things alone, so the emperor did not leave the palace easily, and there was also a reason for this.

"If you want the minister to say, you don't have to be so troublesome, and there is not much way to go, so many people! Besides, if there are ministers, they are not afraid of assassination, right? Lu Chen said to Li Yuan with a grin, and pointed to the generals standing on the side as he spoke, "If someone can assassinate His Majesty, these people will be cut down!" ”

As soon as the ministers heard Lu Chen's speech, they directly said secretly in their hearts again: "Good guy! This Lu County Marquis has reduced His Majesty's travel honor guard! It's worth it! ”

"Your Majesty, you must not reduce the guard of honor!" As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, Zheng Shanguo directly opened his mouth to refute Lu Chen, and at the same time glared at Lu Chen fiercely, "The honor guard is a symbol of His Majesty's identity, how can it be reduced at will!" Zheng Shanguo said directly to Li Yuan, after all, the matter of the guard of honor is also managed by him, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, if this is reduced, isn't his secretary of the Ministry of Rites missing another management right?

"What you say, Ben Hou doesn't like to hear it!" Lu Chen glared back at Zheng Shanguo directly, "Could it be that Your Majesty relies on the honor guard to tell the world that Your Majesty is the emperor?" Lu Chen directly gave Zheng Shanguo a contemptuous look, "Your Majesty is a saint who loves the people like a son in the hearts of the people, and respecting Your Majesty is in your heart, and it is not shouted on your lips all day long, thinking that I was established at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty's reduction of honor guard is to refuse to be extravagant and wasteful, and to set an example of thrift for the world, and the people will only respect and love Your Majesty more when they see it!" ”

Lu Chen's words made Li Yuan feel secretly refreshed, but the face of the Ministry of Rites still has to be given, Li Yuan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Lu Aiqing's words are very reasonable, and Zheng Aiqing's words are not unreasonable, after all, I am the king of a country, and this honor guard still needs to be had, so it is better to reduce it by half!" I won't take the royal horse today, just ride a horse! ”

The emperor had spoken, and Zheng Shanguo couldn't say anything more, so he could only give the order to go down, halve the honor guard, and at the same time bring Li Yuan's imperial horse mount over.

At this time, many Wenchen generals also understood one thing in their hearts, they could only be friendly with Lu Chen and could not be offended, this guy said a word, and the emperor's travel honor guard was reduced by half, and this guy is definitely a pit, Wang Qi and Wei Ting have been planted in this pit, and now from this guy's expression, it is estimated that Zheng Shanguo is no better, but I don't know if Lu Chen can let these families fulfill the gambling contract when the time comes.

After all, the family is powerful, don't look at Lu Chen has the title of Marquis of Chang'an County, but there is only one Lujiazhuang, compared with the family, in the hearts of these people, it is a mayfly shaking the tree, don't look at Lu Chen has Li Yuan's protection, but when the time comes, it is estimated that even if Li Yuan speaks, it will be good if Lu Chen can get half of the gambling contract.

Therefore, in the hearts of all civil and military officials, they are pondering these things.

Half of the honor guards were prepared very quickly, and it was only about an hour, and they were almost ready, Li Yuan turned over and got on his horse under Chang Bao's service, and the road that should be opened in front of him was naturally surrounded by civil and military officials in front of and behind him, of course, Li Yuan could not let all the officials follow, and those who could follow Li Yuan were naturally officials above the third grade, of course, this was also required by Lu Chen.

The mighty team went directly out of the palace and went straight to Lujiazhuang, Li Yuan's trip, as soon as the team of the guide and the driver appeared in front, the people watching the excitement on both sides of the street all knelt down directly, and there were soldiers from the 16th guard of the South Ya in front of the people to maintain order.

Soon the team went directly out of Chang'an City and went directly to the direction of Lujiazhuang.

When they came to Lujiazhuang, Liu Jing and the other four people, who had come back in advance to inform them, had already led the villagers and the soldiers of the guards in Lujiazhuang to line up, waiting for Emperor Li Yuan to arrive.

When Li Yuan rode into Lujiazhuang, the villagers standing on both sides of the road knelt on the ground, and the soldiers on their backs stood up and saluted the army, and these people shouted long live in unison.

Seeing the way the soldiers wearing black clothes and black armor on their backs saluted, Li Yuan felt very fresh, but he was not angry that they didn't bow down to him, "Lu Aiqing! Li Yuan rode on his horse and called Lu Chen directly.

"The minister is here!" Lu Chen shook the reins of the white fox and came to the position where Li Yuan was half a horse behind.

"Why are you guards so respectful?" Li Yuan asked curiously.

"Your Majesty!" Lu Chen said with a smile, "This is for the minister's back guard, but it is given by Her Royal Highness Princess Pingyang, and what they do is a military salute!" Weichen told them that when they put on this military uniform, they should be in awe of this dress, which represents the image of the military of the Tang Dynasty, and they can't kneel down at will. Lu Chen explained to Li Yuan.

"Then why didn't they kneel when they saw me?" Li Yuan listened to Lu Chen's explanation and nodded, what Lu Chen said was not unreasonable, and this military salute was really good-looking, Li Yuan was not angry, and still asked curiously.

"Back to Your Majesty, if Your Majesty comes, they will naturally kneel, but aren't there still ministers and these ministers!" Before Lu Chen finished speaking, Li Yuan understood the meaning of his words.

"You kid has a lot of thoughts!" Li Yuan scolded Lu Chen with a smile, "But your spirit of the guard is good, and this military salute is also good-looking, what's the matter with their outfit?" Li Yuan looked at the equipment on the back guard, his eyes lit up, the armor and equipment of these back guards were obviously different from other Tang troops, the whole body was pitch black armor, the armor was covered with gluttonous lines, and the face also had a fanged mask, leaving only two eyes exposed.

Moreover, this kind of armor is not the standard armor of the Tang Army, it is particularly slim, especially the weapons on the back guards of this gang, and the equipment is also very peculiar.

There was a slender Tang knife more than three feet long hanging from his waist, which was also a black scabbard, but at the right thigh, there was a short knife tied to the thigh.

"This is a back armor designed and manufactured for ministers!" Lu Chen explained to Li Yuan.

"Oh? Lu Aiqing can also design armor! But how protective is this armor? "Li Yuanna is also the emperor who will fight the world immediately, so he is very interested in this new type of armor.
