"Lu Chen, do you know your sins?"
Wei Zheng's words were like a clap of thunder, forcefully pouring into the minds of everyone in the court.
Even Li Er was at a loss for words for a moment, not knowing how to help Lu Chen get away with it.
Although Wei Zheng was stubborn and stubborn, he was the most impartial person. He really needed a reasonable explanation for these three crimes.
Moreover, in order to argue for this, a large number of ministers who were originally prepared to settle the matter were provoked.
They thought about how the businesses of their families in the border areas would be affected by the war, and then they thought about how the war would not have started if Lu Chen had not wiped out Jilei Mountain.
The way these people looked at Lu Chen instantly changed. They were filled with anger and wanted to tear Lu Chen apart!
When Li Er saw this, he cried out in his heart.
However, Lu Chen didn't care at all. He was unusually calm and even had a cold smile on his face, which made people's hearts turn cold.
Lu Chen had already made a judgment in his heart.
Although Wei Zheng was stubborn and stubborn, he was definitely the most fair person. He was definitely not the mastermind of today's matter.
The mastermind was someone else!
He had to dig everyone out and get rid of them all at once. Otherwise, there would be endless trouble in the future.
Therefore, Lu Chen spoke up when the court was silent.
"I, Lu Chen, am dedicated to the country's extermination of bandits. I have gone to the border and killed the enemy with blood.”
Lu Chen's voice was loud and clear, and there was even a hint of contempt in it.
When everyone heard this, they were all in disbelief because the three crimes listed by Wei Zheng just now, no matter which one it was, were all felonies and capital crimes.
Not to mention anything else, just the second crime of harming his fellow countrymen, if this crime was confirmed, even a few lives would not be enough to kill him!
Now that the crimes had been listed, Lu Chen still refused to admit it and even retorted. Either Wei Zheng was slandering Lu Chen, or Lu Chen was crazy.
"Impudent, truly impudent! You've killed so many citizens of the Great Tang, yet you're still so arrogant and unconcerned!”
"Brat, I advise you to kneel down and plead guilty. Please leave your corpse intact!”
……
In the imperial court, everyone was mocking and criticizing Lu Chen again. It was a mess.
Amidst the noise, one voice was louder than the others.
"Lu Chen, I am a general like you, and I admire your martial strength and your ability to fight. However, the fact that you harmed your fellow countrymen is really shameful!”
"Listen to my advice. Quickly admit your guilt and be punished. Don't spout arrogant words again.”
This person's voice was not only deep, but it also sounded more furious than others. It was the kind of hatred that seeped into his bones.
Everyone turned to the source of the voice and saw that it was Zhang Liang, the Great Tang's Duke Xun!
Since Zhang Liang had stepped out, the Deputy Generals of the Right Guards under him would naturally jump out to criticize Lu Chen.
In an instant, Lu Chen, a young man who had no followers, colleagues, or subordinates, was cursed and berated by the civil and military officials in the imperial court.
Zhangsun Wuji, the leader of the officials, could not bear to watch any longer.
"Duke Xun, you, don't speak nonsense!”
Zhangsun Wuji was so angry that he was trembling. First of all, he firmly believed that Lu Chen would not do anything to harm his compatriots. Even if he really killed those people, there must be a reason for it. He could not be so anxious to put the blame on Lu Chen.
Secondly, Zhangsun Wuji's heart ached when he saw the young Lu Chen being surrounded by hundreds of officials alone.
And now, Lu Chen was truly enraged.
Lu Chen's cold eyes swept across the officials who were jumping and cursing like shrews in the market. Then, he let out a roar that shocked the world.
"Impudent!"
This furious roar was mixed with the decisive bloodlust and intimidating aura of the battlefield.
With just this shout, it directly suppressed all the noisy officials.
However, this was not enough.
"Black Armored Army, listen up!"
"Yes!"
Lu Chen shouted, and a dozen burly, armored soldiers rushed in from outside the hall. They cupped their fists and waited for orders.
"Since I am the General of the Flying Cavalry, I naturally have the right to order any army, including the Black Armored Army!”
"Now, listen to my orders. Duke Xun, Zhang Liang, has committed a major crime and slandered his colleague. Drag him out of the hall and give him a hundred military strokes!”
Originally, Lu Chen was still observing who was the mastermind behind the scenes. When Zhang Liang shouted, Lu Chen immediately confirmed it.
Therefore, they had to make a move, and they had to see blood.
The military staff and the cane were two different things. The military staff was personally carried out by the soldiers in the army. It was extremely heavy. Just ten hits could cause a strong soldier's skin to split open.
Thirty strokes of the military staff had directly injured his bones.
As for a hundred military batons, it was no exaggeration to say that even if Zhang Liang wore a well-made heavy helmet and armor, he would still lose half his life!
After Lu Chen gave the order, the black-armored army was at a loss. Lu Chen was indeed the Great General, but Zhang Liang was the Duke of Xun Country. He commanded the Right Military Guards and was also a general.
In a dilemma, the black-armored soldiers turned their eyes to Li Er.
At this moment, Li Er's expression was also indescribably conflicted. He never thought that things would get to this point.
In order to quickly suppress the smell of gunpowder, Li Er could only bite the bullet and speak.
"Minister Lu, there might be a misunderstanding. Moreover, the old ministers such as Xun Guogong have always been loyal. You…"
No matter what Li Er said, Lu Chen would not listen.
Zhang Liang was a vicious person. He had tried to frame Lu Chen time and time again. Now, he even instigated Lu Chen behind his back and pressed three major crimes on him.
Lu Chen could not take this lying down!
Lu Chen slowly raised his head and asked coldly.
"Your Majesty, as the Great General of the Flying Cavalry, can I mobilize all my soldiers according to the laws of the Great Tang?”
"This…"
"Yes, sir!"
Li Er helplessly replied Lu Chen. This matter had already reached this point, and it could no longer be stopped.
"In that case, why did Your Majesty stop him? Is it to protect Zhang Liang?”
These words directly expressed Lu Chen's attitude. Today, he would not rest until one of them died. He would definitely see blood.
Sensing Lu Chen's determination, Li Er could not stop him.
The current Lu Chen was already furious. If he didn't vent his anger, it would chill his heart.
At this moment, Lu Chen looked back at the few Black Armored Soldiers.
"Drag him out and beat him with a hundred sticks!”
"Anyone who shows mercy will be regarded as disobeying military orders!”
