In the impression of Li Xiuning and others, Lu Chen should be someone who cannot say such things, but the fact is right in front of them, which really makes Li Xiuning and others feel shocked. As for others, they are right Lu Chen sneered a little. After all, Lu Chen's performance in the Taiji Hall last time shocked them, and he directly confronted Wang Gui, the Wang family of Taiyuan.

There are still many people wondering whether it was because of Li Yuan's "no-foot order" that Lu Chen woke up?

Of course, Lu Chen also heard Wang Gui's words of "flattery". Lu Chen turned to look at Wang Gui directly.

"Wang Zhongyun, you said that I am a flatterer. I wonder where you got this conclusion?" Lu Chen stared at Wang Gui with burning eyes, ready to fight if he disagreed.

"You are so flattering, aren't you flattering?" Wang Gui was a little embarrassed by Lu Chen's gaze, but since he wanted to punish Lu Chen, he had to be tough and said directly with a stick in the neck.

"Oh! You have such ulterior motives!" Lu Chen pointed directly at Wang Gui's nose and said with a distressed look, "Everything I said was from the bottom of my heart, and every word was a natural expression of emotion from the inside out. Your majesty is so wise and powerful, is it wrong for me to wish your majesty a long life? You actually said that I am flattering you. Do you think that your majesty should not live a long life? Is it true that you, the Taiyuan Wang family, are a distinguished family that can do this? Or are you saying that? What other plans does your Wang family have?" Lu Chen's last sentence was to directly ask Wang Gui in a cold voice.

As soon as Wang Gui heard what Lu Chen said, he knew that the bastard Lu Chen just said those words to dig a hole for himself. How could he be so impulsive and fall for it? Suddenly sweat began to appear on his forehead and temples. What Lu Chen said was that he was "disrespectful" to put it lightly, but to put it more seriously, he and the Taiyuan Wang family had a "disobedient heart", which would cost them their heads.

But before Wang Gui could say anything, Lu Chen directly clasped his fists at the civil and military officials present, "Everyone, tell me, is it wrong for me to wish your majesty a long life? Wang Zhongyun actually said that I am the one who flatters you. It hurts!" Lu Chen continued his performance, with an expression of heartache as he beat his chest and stamped his feet.

This performance directly made Li Yuan, who was sitting on the dragon chair, and Chang Bao, who was standing beside him, twitching at the corners of their mouths. No one who could stand in the Tai Chi Hall was 250, so naturally they could see that Lu Chen was starting from the beginning. They dug a hole for Wang Gui to jump into, but Wang Gui was really obedient and jumped in as soon as his head got hot.

When Cheng Yaojin saw Lu Chen's performance, his mouth twitched, and he secretly wondered: "The matter of 30,000 soldiers surrendering in Weizhou City, was this grandson's bad idea?"

As for Wei Zheng, who was standing behind the court, his mouth twitched as he remembered the idea Lu Chen gave him at Niangziguan about surrendering the troops in Weizhou City.

"Your Majesty! I have no other intention. I just have disdain for Lu Xianhou's conduct! I hope your Majesty will forgive me!" Wang Gui knelt down with a "pop" and said with cold sweat on his forehead.

"Wang Aiqing is worrying too much. I don't mean to blame you!" Li Yuan looked at Wang Gui who was trembling on the ground, and couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in his heart. He didn't expect that Lu Chen actually dug a hole for Wang Gui. I'm scared. Although Wang Gui and Li Yuan had a good personal relationship, that was during the rebellion against the Sui Dynasty. Now that the Li family is in charge of the world, there is a gap between the two. Of course, Li Yuan was just relying on the influence of the aristocratic family. That's all, otherwise there wouldn't be Li Jiancheng planning to weaken the family.

"Hey! Wang Zhongyun, what you said is meaningless!" Li Yuan had just finished speaking, and before Wang Gui could respond, Lu Chen looked down at Wang Gui who was kneeling on the ground, "Why do you disdain me as a person? What's wrong with me as a person? Did he dig out every family's grave? Or did he kick in the widow's door? Please speak clearly!" There was an expression of dissatisfaction and resentment on his face.

The group of people in the main hall had never heard of the words that sounded like curses from Lu Chen's mouth. The civil servants hid their faces and snickered, while many people in the military generals laughed outright.

"Marquis Lu, don't go too far!" At this moment, Wei Ting, who was standing by the side, couldn't stand it anymore and said directly.

"I have gone too far?" Lu Chen looked at Wei Ting and gave Wei Ting a look of disdain, "What? If you can't do one, then two? It's okay. If any of you think that I am wrong, you can stand up! " Lu Chen directly glanced at the group of officials from the aristocratic family with contempt, "What? He said that I am not a good person, so I have to acquiesce? Your family is a bit overbearing, right? I have to ask clearly today, What's wrong with me as a person? Is it the alcohol I invented or the saline solution that's bad?" Lu Chen's voice became louder and louder as he spoke, and all the officials from the aristocratic families who had wanted to lend a helping hand withdrew their direct questioning.

"As a human being, I really need to learn from Wang Zhongyun! Last time we talked about dedicating money to the Tang Dynasty, I heard that the Wang family wanted to donate half of their property to the Tang Dynasty. I didn't expect that Wang Zhongyun actually forgot about it! You go to court and gossip like a normal person, what's going on? Are you planning to donate half of your family property?" Lu Chen squatted directly in front of Wang Gui and asked with a smile on his face.

"I never remember donating family property!" Wang Gui simply refused to acknowledge what happened in the Tai Chi Hall last time. He had already lost his face once, and he was not afraid of losing it a second time.

"Oh! So I don't remember!" Lu Chen looked at Wang Gui and sneered, then turned to look at Wei Ting who came out to stop him, "I heard that Jingzhao Wei's family also has a rich family. Why, Master Wei is like this Are you going to donate your family property?"

"Marquis Lu, please don't mess around. His Majesty's announcement of your visit this time is already an extrajudicial favor. Don't forget that you are still under a grounding order!" Wei Ting looked at Lu Chen with a cold face and said.

"Oh! Yes! I still have a ban on you! Then I will resign!" Lu Chen saluted directly to Li Yuan, "Your Majesty, Mr. Wei said that I have a ban on me and it is not appropriate to appear in Tai Chi. Your Majesty, please excuse me and go home to think about your mistakes behind closed doors!" After saying this, Lu Chen turned around and left.

When they saw Lu Chen was about to leave, Wang Gui and Wei Ting looked at each other, isn't this nonsense? Fei Ting worked hard to get Lu Chen here, fully expecting to use the charcoal thing to get Lu Chen, but in the end, this guy came to mess around with him, and then he was ready to leave, so how could it happen?

Moreover, this matter also involved Chai Shao. If Chai Shao had not stood up for Lu Chen, Li Yuan would not have issued an order to get Lu Chen. If Lu Chen left, what would it be? In the end, all the blame will be placed on Wang Gui and Wei Ting. If they offend Chai Shao, they will be offended. The key is that Chai Shao's wife is Princess Pingyang. Her Royal Highness the Princess is the one who swings the knife whenever she disagrees. Sometimes Li Yuan It's hard to speak. I really want to chop them both with a knife. Who can bear this?

"Marquis of Lu County, don't be fooling around. His Majesty has summoned you here because of course there are important things to discuss. Don't be a loser!" Pei Ji saw that Lu Chen was really going to leave. Li Yuan was the emperor, and Lu Chen was going to leave. He was still forced by Wei Ting, but he still couldn't find fault, and he could still get Li Yuan to persuade Lu Chen to stay, saying: "My dear, please don't leave, something is wrong?" Wouldn't that make Li Yuan lose face too much?

So only Pei Ji, the prime minister, could intervene to persuade Lu Chen to stay.

When he heard someone calling him, this person was still standing at the head of the civil service. Lu Chen knew that the old man in front of him, wearing a purple official uniform, with a gold and jade belt across his waist, and a golden fish charm hanging on the gold and jade belt, had an unusual official position. , and although this man is already at the age where he knows his destiny, and although his face has many wrinkles, he has a kind-hearted look and a burly figure. It can be seen that he was also a handsome young man when he was young.

"My lord, have you not asked me for advice?" Lu Chen was still very respectful to the old man who advised him so kindly.

"I am Pei Ji!" Pei Ji did not show any politeness and directly announced his name.

"Pei Ji!" Lu Chen's eyes lit up when he looked at Pei Ji. Lu Chen knew that the people in front of him, Pei Ji and Pei Xuanzhen, were extraordinary. He was the first prime minister of the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Without this prime minister, Li Yuan would not have been able to do this. Determined to rebel against the Sui Dynasty, it can be said that Pei Ji had a great contribution to the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and this Lord Pei was also the reviser of the "Tang Code".

"It turns out to be Mr. Pei, disrespectful, disrespectful!" Lu Chen hurriedly saluted Pei Ji.

"How polite the Marquis of Lu County is!" Pei Ji also liked Lu Chen very much in his heart. After all, Lu Chen's invention saved many sons of the Tang Dynasty. "Your Majesty called the Marquis of the County here this time for the sake of five hundred kilograms of iron." It is a matter of fact. If this matter is not explained clearly, I am afraid it will be detrimental to the Marquis of Lu County!" Pei Ji said and glanced at Wang Gui and Wei Ting who were standing aside, obviously reminding Lu Chen of this matter. Who did it? At the same time, Lu Chen was reminded that if he didn't explain clearly, I'm afraid the next group of people would have to use this matter to bullshit him.

"Is this a stupid thing worth talking about?" Lu Chen glared at Wang Gui and Wei Ting, "Besides, what if I want five hundred kilograms of iron? Can I still rebel? On the other hand, in some families, I'm afraid there are more than 100,000 kilograms of iron materials!" Lu Chen said angrily, and at the same time looked at Wang Gui and Wei Ting again, "If I can use five hundred kilograms of iron materials to commit disloyalty, there are countless hoards. Those who are made of ten thousand kilograms of iron, according to my opinion, all those in the house who are bigger than a wheel should be chopped down!" After Lu Chen said the last sentence, he bared his teeth directly at Wang Gui and Wei Ting, looking at Lu Chen's malicious smile , Wang Gui and Wei Ting took another half step back unconsciously.

"If you ask me, you are just mentally ill. I only have a Zhuangzi gifted by His Majesty, and there are only a few hundred people in the Zhuangzi. How can you rebel with just five hundred kilograms of iron? Don't ever mention me to me. That nonsense about Zhuangzi being close to Chang'an! How many defenders are there in Chang'an city? Your heads are on your butts, right?" Lu Chen felt that this was not enough and continued to point at Wang Gui and Wei Ting and scold them!
