Just as Lu Bei started the lottery in the Dai Public House.
In a side hall of the Chang 'an Royal Palace.
Li Shi Min was dressed in a purple robe, and the table in front of him was filled with memorials waiting to be read.
Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui, the three trusted ministers, were also gathered in the hall.
Zhangsun Wuji, who had a lean and experienced face, had already guessed the reason why the Emperor had summoned the three of them.
That was to discuss the issue of Lu Bei's reward.
He was not only the representative of the Guan Long aristocratic families in the court, but also the most meritorious person by Li Shimin's side.
The incident at Xuanwu Gate was planned by him and Li Shimin when the other strategists were transferred away.
Now, Li Shimin had succeeded in his position, and his sister was also the Empress. It was the peak of Zhangsun Wuji, who had the merit of following the dragon.
However, Lu Bei, who had saved the Great Tang from a great upheaval and killed the Jie Li Khan, had appeared.
Moreover, Lu Bei was a member of Li Jing's family. Li Jing did not belong to the Guanlong Corporation.
Once Lu Bei gained power, it would mean that the strength of Li Jing's family would increase greatly. It would definitely challenge the Guanlong Group's monopoly on the imperial court.
Thinking of this, Zhangsun Wuji's eyes flashed with a dangerous light.
"What do you think of Lu Bei's meritorious service?”
Li Shi Min's dignified voice came from behind the mountain of memorials.
"Your Majesty, Lu Bei has defended Fanyang and rescued Jingyang. He has killed the Jie Li Khan in the midst of an army of ten thousand, showing the prestige and integrity of the Great Tang. This subject believes that this merit deserves the title of Marquis.”
Du Ruhui cupped his hands and said with a serious expression.
The expressionless Li Shiming instantly recalled the scene two days ago when Lu Bei had led 3,000 cavalrymen out of nowhere and charged at the 300,000 Turkic soldiers.
His eyes could not help but burn.
"Your Majesty, I agree! Fortunately, Lu Bei killed Jie Li Khan in time and saved Chang 'an. Otherwise, our Great Tang would have been in danger!”
Fang Xuanling, who was dressed in a purple official robe, also stood out to support the proposal.
"Your Majesty, I don't think it's appropriate to make him a marquis!”
Zhangsun Wuji said expressionlessly.
"Reason?"
Li Shi Min's eyes turned cold and his domineering voice still made it hard to tell if he was happy or angry.
"Lu Bei's qualifications are still shallow. He's already a Marquis. In the future, if he has the chance to fight, will he be promoted to a Duke and be on equal footing with me?”
"Moreover, the Li family already has a Duke, Li Jing. If another Marquis comes, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave. Your Majesty, please reconsider!”
Zhangsun Wuji's reason was dignified and full of political accuracy.
Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling smiled at each other. This Zhangsun Wuji's intention to suppress them was too obvious.
Moreover, this was not the royal court. If he were to play politics with the Emperor on such an occasion, he would probably be scolded.
"Zhangsun Wuji, you don't have to worry about whether I can control anyone! It is the blessing of the entire Great Tang, including you, Zhangsun Wuji, to have a talent like Lu Bei who is both skilled in both martial arts and literature!”
"Our Great Tang doesn't gain much or lose much. Some people shouldn't rely on their merits and be too conceited!”
As expected, Li Shiming was furious. The aura of the Son of Heaven's Wrath pressed down on Zhangsun Wuji!
Zhangsun Wuji's face instantly turned pale, and his mind went blank.
The angry Li Shi Min was so terrifying!
"I have spoken too much. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!”
He gritted his teeth and bowed to Li Shi Min resentfully.
However, a towering rage was burning in his heart!
"Lu Bei, you actually made me lose face like this. Just you wait!”
Zhangsun Wuji secretly swore.
"Alright, I've made up my mind. You can leave.”
Li Shiming, who had finished beating up Zhangsun Wuji, reminded him indifferently.
Finally, he gave Du Ruhui a meaningful look.
Du Ruhui nodded with an understanding expression.
……
At the same time, in the guest room of the Dai Public House.
The wheel in front of Lu Bei stopped spinning, and the needle stopped on a name.
Crouching Dragon, Marquis Wu Zhuge Liang!
Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully fusing the Martial Soul Zhuge Liang.
Lu Bei's aura changed again. There was a hint of calmness in his domineering aura.
His mind became very clear, and the speed at which he thought about problems multiplied.
His dual-pupils also became extremely perceptive.
"Tomorrow morning, my biggest obstacle will definitely be closing the corporation.”
After Lu Bei's mind cleared up, the chaotic world instantly cleared up.
He realized that he and Li Jing had already affected the balance of the court.
His opponent was definitely the Guanlong Group, and the representative of the Guanlong Group was Zhangsun Wuji.
"Zhangsun Wuji? Since that's the case, why don't I spar with you?”
He remembered that his opponent was the Emperor's favorite, Zhangsun Wuji.
Not only did he not panic, he even smiled confidently.
In his eyes, there was a hint of anticipation for the rewards of the imperial court tomorrow.
