Wang Gui's original intention was just to use this incident to disgust Lu Chen, and the last time Lu Chen appeared in front of civil and military ministers was only in the Tai Chi Hall. Wang Gui didn't think anyone other than Li Xiuning would help Lu Chen speak. , but the scene in front of me is obviously not right!
Wang Gui couldn't help but steal a look at Wei Ting who was standing aside. Wei Ting could only pouted at Wang Gui and said that he had no idea, even though he had the title of wine sacrifice and a guard. He is a leader, but if he really wants to use this official position to speak for himself, he might as well be Wang Gui!
After all, Wei Ting's titles all belong to the East Palace. To be honest, if he really wanted to stand forward, he wouldn't be able to see enough.
Moreover, the people who are helping Lu Chen speak now are a high-ranking princess and two princes. To be honest at this time, the distinction between civil and military officials is just position. Many civil servants who are not from aristocratic families can only be promoted. Swords are for fighting, and at this time in the court, there is no such thing as the later generations. When the emperor says something wrong, the civil servants and generals can quarrel in court, and the civil and military officials can fight directly in the court if they don't agree with each other.
So Wang Gui felt a little uneasy at this time. After all, one of the people who just criticized him was the famous "Devil King" Cheng Yaojin. Last time in the court, there was an official from an aristocratic family who was greeted by Cheng Yaojin with a big mouth!
What's more, there was Chai Shao next to Cheng Yaojin at this time. Although Chai Shao didn't talk much in the court, as long as Chai Shao spoke, at least half of the generals would support Chai Shao. After all, Chai Shao was not only Huo Guogong, but also Li Xiuning's The Prince Consort, and Chai Shao himself was a chivalrous and righteous person, so there were many civil servants and generals who were good friends with Chai Shao.
Not to mention Li Xiuning, Princess Pingyang, the White Jade Pillar of the Tang Dynasty, held up the purple golden beam of the sea, and directly drew his sword and killed Wang Gui. It is estimated that Li Yuan could only reprimand him a few words. As for the Wang family's trouble with Li Xiuning? Nonsense, even if Wang Gui dared to participate in the impeachment of Lu Chen, Lu Chen was disgusted. If he really dared to turn the Wang family against Li Xiuning, the Princess Pingyang would dare to lead the women's army to oust the Wang family.
To be honest, the main reason why these aristocratic families can live peacefully now is that they have helped the Li family conquer the world, and there is not much evidence to fall into the hands of the Li family. Otherwise, if Li Xiuning is really offended, Let Li Xiuning find an excuse and see if Li Xiuning dares to lead an army to directly level the family.
You must know that the only army in the Tang Dynasty that the aristocratic families cannot interfere with is Li Xiuning's Detachment of Women. To put it simply, the Detachment of Women is Li Xiuning's one-word hall. After all, the entire Detachment of Women was brought out bit by bit by Li Xiuning without any help from the aristocratic family.
"Your Majesty, I have my own report!" Just when Wang Gui was thinking about how to refute Chai Shao and others, Chai Shao walked directly to Wang Gui and saluted Li Yuan.
"Oh? What kind of memorial does Huo Guogong have?" Upon hearing that Chai Shao was actually going to compose a memorial today, Li Yuan couldn't help but look at Chai Shao curiously, and everyone else also looked at Chai Shao curiously, wanting to I knew what this prince-in-law, who usually spoke very little, was going to say.
"I am writing this memorial to express my grievance for the Marquis of Lu County!" Chai Shao said loudly, and then glanced at the people around him, "I recently went to Lujiazhuang and sent 500 kilograms of iron materials to the Marquis of Lu County, and these iron materials ministers I also saw the use!" After Chai Shao finished speaking, he glared at Wang Gui. Originally, Chai Shao didn't want to say this because Lu Chen had told him not to tell these things in a hurry, but Wang Gui came out recently. Disgusting people, Chai Shao felt dissatisfied, so he was going to pick something unimportant to tell Li Yuan.
Chai Shao didn't know about the conversation between Li Yuan and his children in the Nuan Pavilion yesterday, and Li Xiuning also kept this matter from Chai Shao. After all, the fewer people who know about planning, the more confidential it is.
So today, when Wang Gui came to report that he was disgusting with Lu Chen, Chai Shao immediately stood up. He and Lu Chen were congenial. Now they are brothers, and they are more likely to become brothers-in-law in the future. How could Chai Shao watch Wang Gui come out to smear Lu Chen? , I am afraid that the speaker is unintentional and the listener is intentional. If Li Yuan is really suspicious of Lu Chen, then there will be a crisis of trust between Lu Chen and Datang. It will definitely be a huge loss to Datang. Just a few From the first contact, Chai Shao knew how talented Lu Chen was!
Judging from what Chai Shao saw and heard, Li Xiuning said that Lu Chen was "safe and stable" and "unparalleled in the country", which were not enough to describe Lu Chen's talents.
"Oh?" Li Yuan's interest became even more intense when he heard Chai Shao say that he knew what Lu Chen was doing with iron materials. "Tell me, what did Marquis Lu Chen do with iron materials?" As Li Yuan finished speaking, The eyes of all the civil and military officials in the entire hall also focused on Chai Shao.
"According to what I saw, the Marquis of Lu County made an iron stove out of iron materials, which can burn charcoal for heating. Now basically every household in Lujiazhuang uses this kind of iron stove for heating!" Chai Shao said loudly, "I am a minister. This kind of iron stove is now used at home, and the heating effect is better than the charcoal basin, and it is also more economical than the charcoal basin!" At this point, Chai Shao glanced at the group of civil and military officials with pride.
Now, besides going to court, Chai Shaona just sits at home and watches the iron stove drinking tea. He lives a very happy life, and at the same time, he trains his two sons in civil and military skills from time to time.
"Nonsense!" Who knew that as soon as Chai Shao finished speaking, Wang Gui, who was standing next to Chai Shao, seemed to have seen something extraordinary, his eyes widened and he shouted loudly.
At the same time, everyone looked at Wang Gui in surprise, wondering why Wang Gui was so excited and yelling.
"Who doesn't know that charcoal is highly toxic, and burning charcoal for heating will undoubtedly lead to death!" Wang Gui said with excitement and saliva flying around. Apparently he felt that he had caught the mistake in Chai Shao's words, and he was unexpectedly excited, " The Marquis of Lu County advocates charcoal heating, is he trying to kill people?"
Wang Gui's words made many family officials nod in agreement. After all, everyone knows that coal is poisonous. Others looked at Chai Shao with doubts. After all, Chai Shao said that he was here. I also use charcoal for heating in my home.
"According to what Lu Xianhou said, you are 'the ignorant are fearless'!" Chai Shao glanced at Wang Gui and said, "What if Lu Xianhou can control the toxins of coal? If you don't believe it, I can let you see it. !" Chai Shao glanced proudly at the officials from the famous families.
"If this can really happen, it will be a blessing for the people!" At this moment, the minister's right servant shot Pei Ji, who had been silent, and said directly. Pei Ji can be said to be the most trusted person in Li Yuan. Back then, Li Yuan was able to make up his mind to rebel in Taiyuan. In the Sui Dynasty, Pei Ji made considerable contributions, so in the early Tang Dynasty, Pei Ji was appointed as the prime minister on the right servant of Shangshu.
"Now that Xuanzhen has spoken, Duke Huo will bring that iron stove and let me see it too!" Li Yuan said, stroking his beard and looking at Chai Shao with a smile.
"Yes! It's just that this thing is only available in Lujiazhuang. I'm afraid His Majesty will need to issue an edict!" Chai Shao saluted Li Yuan.
"Yes!" Li Yuan nodded. After all, he was asking for something from Lu Chen, and it needed to be verified in court. It was appropriate for the emperor to issue an edict. After all, Lu Chen might not be given face if others went there, and if Chai Shao went to find him at this time, Lu Chen's words must be followed by an order or an imperial edict, otherwise it would be time to go to court, and Chai Shao would not dare to run out casually.
Soon Li Yuan issued an edict, and Chai Shao led the edict-proclaiming servants straight to Lu Chen's Lujiazhuang. As for the others, they were waiting in the Tai Chi Hall.
Chai Shao came straight to Lujiazhuang with the eunuch who announced the decree. The eunuch who came to Lujiazhuang with Chai Shao happened to be Lin Lang, who accompanied Lu Chen for the first time to declare the title of marquis.
Lu Chen, who was in Lujiazhuang, didn't know what happened in Tai Chi Hall. When he got up early in the morning, Lu Chen got into the greenhouse because the leeks could be cut today. Looking at the green leeks, Lu Chen drooled. Come out, so much time is spent eating pickles and meat. Although Lu Chen has a base, the individual soldier rations inside can also allow Lu Chen to improve his food, and most of the green grass in the base is dehydrated and sealed. How can there be fresh food? delicious.
Just when Lu Chen was cutting leeks in the greenhouse, Fang Qi ran in from outside.
"What's wrong?" Fang Qi must have been digging pits for papermaking with the villagers who suddenly came to him. Something must have happened. Lu Chen stood up and looked at Fang Qi and asked.
"Huo Guogong is here with the eunuch who announced the decree! He said there is an edict from His Majesty!" Fang Qi looked at Lu Chen and said.
"Another edict? Some time ago, I just issued an edict to shut myself up and think about my mistakes. What is the edict for?" Lu Chen stood up with doubts and asked Fang Qi to send the cut leeks to the kitchen. He was about to return. He went to the back house to change his clothes. After all, it was Emperor Li Yuan's order. If Lu Chen, who was wearing a camouflage uniform, just went there, it would be a bit disrespectful to Li Yuan.
"Don't eat it secretly!" Seeing Fang Qi trying to stuff a leek into his mouth, Lu Chen directly warned Fang Qi, "We'll be cooking at noon!"
Seeing that he was caught stealing, Fang Qi could only laugh "hehe", put down the leek, and trotted all the way to the kitchen like holding a treasure.
Looking at Fang Qi's back, Lu Chen shook his head helplessly, then went to the back house, changed into regular clothes and came to the door of the mansion. As soon as he arrived at the door of the mansion, he saw Chai Shao and Lin Lang, who were holding the edict in their hands. Waiting for myself.
"Servant Lin, Consort Chai meets again!" Lu Chen said with a smile as he cupped his hands at the two of them.
"Brother Xian, do you two know each other?" Chai Shao couldn't help but asked curiously after hearing the familiar look on Lu Chen's greeting to Lin Lang.
"Back then, I, the Marquis of Chang'an County, received the decree from the servant Lin! I wonder what kind of decree I came here with this time?" Lu Chen said to Chai Shao and Lin Lang with a smile, and at the same time looked at the hand in Lin Lang's hand. Yellow silk.
