Lu Chen had already opened his mouth to ask for it. Moreover, his gaze was burning with desire.
Li Er naturally knew what Lu Chen meant, but he was indeed depressed.
This wasn't the first time he had done this. He had promised Lu Chen to be the general of the hussars at the Qinling Mountains, and this time, he had given Lu Chen the title of general.
In the current Great Tang, was there still anyone who dared to slap Li Er in the face?!
But Lu Chen really did it...
It wasn't that Li Er was going back on his word or being petty, but that the Great Tang seemed to be enjoying peace and prosperity, but in reality, there really wasn't anything good to be rewarded.
At this moment, Zhangsun Wuji, as the head of the civil officials, took a step forward and spoke righteously.
"Your Majesty, although this is just a drill, it is enough to see that Marshal Chu's strength is extraordinary. In time, the Great Tang navy will be an invincible army!”
"This subject congratulates Your Majesty on obtaining such a good general and wishes that our Great Tang has such a great talent. I hope that Your Majesty will reward Commander Lu to show your love for talent!”
As Li Shiming's little girl, Zhangsun Wuji actually said these words at this time.
The civil and military officials present were all well aware of Zhangsun Wuji's intentions for making such a move.
Especially Cheng Yaojin. Although he was a martial artist and looked like a boor, he was meticulous.
Zhangsun Wuji was snatching Old Cheng's job. How could this work?
Cheng Yaojin hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"Your Majesty, Commander Lu is indeed worthy of being rewarded. He is almost the best general. Moreover, Your Majesty has indeed promised us before.”
Zhangsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin had already made their words so obvious. The officials in the court were all old foxes and already knew.
Lu Chen's performance in all aspects during this period of time was impeccable and absolutely top-notch.
In the future, his growth would be even more limitless, and he would bring more and more shock to everyone.
As the ruler of a country, Li Er would not let go of a talent like Lu Chen.
Therefore, in the future, Lu Chen would truly have real power and authority. He would definitely be an important minister of the dynasty!
Now was the time to ask for a reward. Cheng Yaojin and Zhangsun Wuji took the initiative to stand up for Lu Chen. Lu Chen would definitely remember their kindness.
Thinking of this, the other civil and military officials were unwilling to fall behind and went forward to agree.
"Your Majesty, Commander Lu is definitely a great talent of the current era. He is a blessing for the country and the country. I beg for a generous reward!”
"That's right, Your Majesty. Marshal Lu's strength is impeccable. We are sincerely convinced by his generous reward!”
"Your Majesty, it is against the rules of the Great Tang to not reward those who have rendered meritorious service!”
……
Seeing this scene, Li Er's face turned black with anger.
Naturally, he had to reward her. After all, the king was not joking. 0
However, according to Li Er's original plan, he would just muddle through the details of the reward and forget about it.
But now, he had already been raised up high by the civil and military officials. It was impossible not to reward him heavily.
These people were the beloved ministers that he had always addressed in the imperial court. They were the pillars of the country and the emperor's right-hand men.
Now, it seemed that these people were ungrateful. They ate the king's salary and did not share the king's worries. Instead, they were thinking about how to curry favor with Lu Chen and get more rewards for him.
However, on second thought, Li Er felt that there was nothing unacceptable.
Lu Chen would undoubtedly be one of the pillars of the Great Tang in the future. Wasn't this Li Er's idea to reward talents?
In the future, he could even send his navy to the Red Sea, Goguryeo, and Lingnan!
Perhaps, because of Lu Chen, the Great Tang's territory would truly expand once more!
Opening up territory and expanding territory was an irresistible temptation for every ruler!
Li Er made up his mind and said loudly.
"Reward!"
"Minister Lu will be rewarded with 100 taels of gold and 3,000 mu of fertile farmland outside Chang 'an City. In addition, he will be rewarded with a house, 100 maids, and 100 servants!”
"Moreover, the Great Tang Navy is improving at a rapid pace. The three years of military pay will be paid in one go!”
"Hundred refined armor, one for each person. If the stock is not enough, transfer it directly from the right guard and distribute it immediately without delay!”
As soon as Li Er said these words, the eyes of the officials present were already red with envy, especially Zhang Liang. He was so jealous that his entire body was trembling.
If he won this battle, the rewards would belong to him, Zhang Liang.
Besides, the other things were not much. The key was to directly reward the fertile farmland outside Chang 'an City.
Ever since Li Er succeeded to the throne, the fertile land outside Chang 'an City was not allowed to be freely bought and sold. It was a symbol of status.
Now, Lu Chen had directly obtained 3,000 mu, a farm, and a house!
Even now, Lu Chen would be famous all over the world.
At this moment, Li Er looked at Lu Chen without any suppression or resentment.
On the contrary, it was unusually cordial, as if he was looking at one of his own.
Lu Chen would definitely be favored by the emperor in the future and have power over an area!
Lu Chen didn't care about the envy of the officials at all. He had already expected this.
After this battle, he had secured his position as the head of the five generals and kept his position as the general of the hussars.
It also gave the poor navy generous pay, rations, weapons, and training conditions.
At the same time, he found a place for himself to settle down, and he could be considered to have completely established his footing.
Finally, there was still the system reward that he had yet to receive!
In fact, Lu Chen did not value money too much. Just now, Li Er had rewarded him with 100 taels of gold. This was already not a small amount.
In the real ancient times, the rewards were like this. As for the rewards given by the later generations to the ancient emperors, which were easily ten thousand taels of gold, it was purely a fantasy.
Ten thousand taels of gold was not something he did not have, but that was the bottom line of the treasury. It was used to fight the Turks and protect the Great Tang.
Lu Chen had a slight smile on his face as he accepted the flattery and flattery of the officials.
After all, in the future, they would still have to put in some effort.
Moreover, these people now called Lu Chen Marshal Lu from the bottom of their hearts and were loyal to him!
Seeing that today's matter was over, Li Er spoke.
"Everyone, today's matter will come to an end for the time being. I'm a little tired. Everyone, please disperse.”
Everyone bowed and dispersed. Soon, there were only a few left at Xuanwu Gate.
Lu Chen was also preparing to leave in the crowd, but he was suddenly stopped by Li Er.
"Minister Lu, please wait. I have something to discuss with you.”
Lu Chen stopped and turned around.
However, not far away, Cheng Yaojin and the other generals who were about to leave stopped as if they heard Li Er's voice.
After turning around, he looked over with a burning gaze.
Li Er's face instantly darkened.
What kind of officials did he raise? It was fine if they ganged up on him and tricked him.
Now, he only wanted to have a little bit of selfishness and stare at them one by one!
