Late at night, the entire Chang 'an was silent.
Only Taiji Palace was brightly lit.
Furthermore, the guards at the door were no longer the usual palace maids and servants. They had been replaced by the black-armored army, and they were abnormally dignified.
"Your Majesty, this matter cannot be allowed to succeed. That is the Great General of the Flying Cavalry, the one in charge of the Great Tang's army!”
"Moreover, Lu Chen is a good seedling. A young emperor will harm him!”
Cheng Yaojin spoke up to dissuade him. Yuchi Gong also said,"Yes, Your Majesty. A ten-year-old general of the hussars will be a joke to the world.”
"Moreover, he's still a child. Who knows what he will do after he takes over the military power.”
Niu Jinda also echoed." Your Majesty, the two dukes are right. The most important thing for a country is stability and maturity. It's really inappropriate to hand it over to a child!”
Facing the three old generals 'tearful dissuasion, Li Shimin was extremely frustrated and slammed the table.
"Enough, since you all think so in your hearts, then why did you all speak up for him during the day? You even said that a ruler doesn't joke and that words are rushed, forcing Zhen to have nothing to say!”
Li Shimin pointed at Cheng Yaojin.
"Especially you, you old thing. Why do you have to compete with others for no reason? Forget about the martial arts competition.”
"Now, there's no reason at all. You and I are both in a difficult position!”
Li Er was now filled with anger and wished he could kill Cheng Yaojin.
However, he could only endure it. After all, he had to protect his reputation and was determined to be a good emperor.
If he couldn't even admit defeat, if he didn't even have this kind of structure and tolerance, how could he be famous for thousands of years!
On the way back to Chang 'an from Qinling Mountains, Li Er had made up his mind to make Lu Chen the General of the Flying Cavalry.
However, this was a major event. There was a regulated process and it had to be witnessed by all the officials.
Therefore, Li Er temporarily arranged for Lu Chen to stay in an inn in Chang 'an City, waiting for the morning court session tomorrow.
Although he was angry, he was still happy to see the injured Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, and Li Er.
Because at the very least, this proved that Lu Chen was indeed a great talent!
If he really gave Lu Chen the title of General of the Flying Cavalry, perhaps there would still be a sentence left in history.
"Li Shiming is not limited to one style, he is magnanimous, he uses people as talents, and he loves talents as if they were his life!”
Li Er said as he looked at Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong.
"Alright, let's go. Tomorrow morning, Lu Chen will be conferred the title of General of the Flying Cavalry!”
"I can give you the title of General of the Flying Cavalry, but as for the power to lead troops, we'll see in the future!”
Cheng Yaojin's face lit up when he heard that.
"Haha, this old official said that the emperor definitely has a plan in his heart and definitely has a way!”
Li Er rolled his eyes at Cheng Yaojin.”
Then, he asked Zhangsun Wuji,"Ancestors, how's the investigation of the foreign assassins in Qinling?!"”
"Your Majesty, we've already investigated the matter." Zhangsun Wuji cupped his hands.”
"These people are scouts sent by the Eastern Turks. They seemed to have known that His Majesty would be hunting in the Qinling Mountains, so they had set up an ambush and prepared to assassinate him!”
"As for Lu Chen's words, he has nothing to do with those Turkic assassins.”
As soon as Zhangsun Wuji finished speaking, Li Shiming's face was as cold as water, and he squeezed out a few words through his teeth.
"Eastern Turkic Khan Jie Li truly has guts!”
"Pass down my order, the Ministry of Revenue will increase the stock of grain and fodder. This winter, prepare to sweep through the grasslands!”
As the ruler of the Tang Dynasty, even if he was determined to be a good emperor, he never lacked the temperament to kill decisively.
At this moment, the terror of the Great Tang's ruler was fully revealed.
"Oh right, have you found out who leaked my whereabouts?”
Li Shiming said this calmly, but everyone shuddered.
Zhangsun Wuji lowered his body even further."Your Majesty, since this person knows your whereabouts, he must be someone close to you. Moreover, he has hidden himself very deeply. It's very difficult to find out for the time being!”
"Continue to investigate!" Li Shimin said coldly.”
……
West of Chang 'an, in an inn on Green Dragon Street.
Lu Chen, who was lying on the bed, used his mind to communicate with the system.
"System, have you completed my first main mission?”
When he came out of Qinling Mountain in the morning, he heard someone calling for help. The system told Lu Chen that the person was Tang Emperor Li Shimin.
The first main mission was to rescue Li Shi Min and get an official position from him.
The higher the official position, the better the mission reward!
In order to obtain a more generous system reward, Lu Chen decided to take a gamble when he asked for an official position.
He forced Li Shi Min to the point where he couldn't back down and forced him to give himself the title of General of the Flying Cavalry.
After all, Li Shimin had not been able to obtain the position properly. The incident at Xuanwu Sect had resulted in his brothers killing each other and imprisoning his father.
These were all blemishes, and Li Shimin had spent almost his entire life trying to wash them away.
Lu Chen was betting that Li Shi Min would give him the title of the General of the Flying Cavalry in order to protect his reputation as a good Emperor.
Although he thought so, Lu Chen was not confident.
After all.
A ten-year-old general of the escort cavalry who was in charge of an army, this matter was indeed too absurd!
Once he learned from the system that the mission was completed, it meant that Li Shi Min had agreed to confer him the title of General of the Flying Cavalry.
However, once the system confirmed that the mission was not completed, it would be bad!
It meant that Li Shimin had gone back on his word, and the emperor's golden words could not be changed.
In this situation, there was only one way, and that was to kill Lu Chen and not let the matter be exposed!
"Congratulations to user for completing the first main quest and becoming the Great Tang's Great General of Flying Cavalry!”
At this moment, the system's voice sounded.
Lu Chen was delighted and asked.
"Where's the reward for completing the main mission?”
The system's voice sounded again.
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the ancient martial art Dragon Tiger Fist!”
"Congratulations to user for obtaining the Mystical Eye!”
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Versatile Speech Technique!”
Lu Chen felt relieved when he heard the rewards.
"I do know about the ancient martial arts Dragon Tiger Fist and the Unhindered Eloquence.”
"But what does that Mystical Eye do?”
