They were getting closer.
In the eyes of those who didn't know Lin Chen, he was like a young man who had just reached the age of adulthood, and a young monk at that.
However, none of the civil officials were fools. They knew that Lin Chen was definitely not a monk. Perhaps he was just a monk in some part of the culture.
At this time, the national song had basically stopped, and the entire venue fell into silence again.
The soldiers of the Great Tang were in an uproar, but that was all. The temperament of the Donglin soldiers would not allow them to cause trouble.
The dignity of the Celestial Empire was almost shattered by the presence of the Donglin soldiers.
"Great Tang's Eldest Princess Chang Le greets the King of Eastwoods!”Li Lizhi bowed in time.
Lin Chen nodded slightly and looked at the skinny old man with a goatee who was half a body behind Li Lizhi. He was wearing a black Confucian robe.
Seeing Lin Chen looking at him, Wei Zheng was furious.
It wasn't that Lin Chen's gaze made him think that he had a special interest. It was that Li Lizhi bowed, but Lin Chen didn't return the bow. He just nodded slightly.
This was simply disregarding the dignity of the Great Tang.
The etiquette of a scholar made Wei Zheng temporarily suppress his anger. He cupped his fists and said,"Great Tang's secretary supervisor, Wei Xuancheng, greets the King of Eastwoods!”
"Wei Xuancheng?"
Lin Chen murmured, unable to recall who this old man was.
Logically speaking, this was the third time someone from the Great Tang had appeared in the Donglin State. No matter what, it had to be more formal. This old man should be an important figure.
He looked at Wei Zheng carefully again. This old man looked old and frail. He was extremely thin and had withered hair. If not for the wrinkles on his face, he would have been a skeleton.
On the other hand, the pair of sunken but sparkling eyes showed clear anger.
"Lizhi, what's this old man's name?”Lin Chen asked.
In ancient times, it was impolite to ask for someone's name.
Simply put, the name was called by the elders, the name was called by the same generation in society, and the nickname was called by the relatives.
Men get their names when they are crowned, while women get their names when they are married.
Of course, if they were just commoners, not only would the men not have any formal names, but the women might not even have a full name. They would only have a nickname for their relatives.
After marrying out, it would follow the husband's surname and become the husband's surname plus the family's surname. It was also an existence that replaced the name.
"Preposterous!" Wei Zheng roared.
Asking someone's name in front of him, especially when he was a junior, even if he was the ruler of another country, in Wei Zheng's eyes, it was an extremely obvious provocation.
Wei Zheng was already very angry that Lin Chen didn't bow to Li Lizhi. He was also scared out of his wits by Lin Chen's tricks. How could he not roar at Lin Chen's question?
Li Lizhi, on the other hand, quickly made a gesture to stop him and immediately explained,"This is our Great Tang's third rank secretary supervisor, his name is Xuan Cheng, and his name is Wei Zheng!”
"Wei Zheng?"
Lin Chen was stunned for a moment before he realized what was going on. Then, he let out a cold laugh.
This person could be said to be the famous ancestor of trolls. He would spit out anything, just for the sake of spitting.
In the records of the later generations, Wei Zheng could be said to be extremely famous. He was the only one who had fought Li Shiming to the death. Li Shiming had even pinched his nose and said something like 'using copper as a mirror' after Wei Zheng's death.
However, from the fact that Li Shiming dug Wei Zheng's grave and burned his bones, it could be seen that Li Shiming was only forced to recognize him. He was not as sincere as Cheng Yaojin and the others.
Wei Zheng didn't die under the original Crown Prince. Instead, after he was put in an important position by Li Shimin, he became more and more arrogant. He could be said to be the model of a hypocrite in ancient times.
Before Wei Zheng died, he had secretly recommended Du Zhenglun. In the end, Du Zhenglun was dismissed due to his 'crimes'.
Wei Zheng and Hou Junji were on good terms, and Hou Junji was beheaded for treason.
Wei Zheng even secretly showed some of his important remonstrances to the historian, Chu Suiliang, so that he could be recorded in the history books!
Wei Zheng dared to be so arrogant. He was not afraid of death.
Wei Zheng was almost fifty years old when he was appointed by Li Shimin. He was already fifty-two years old in the fifth year of Zhenguan. In ancient times, it was time for him to rest in peace.
His only thought was to leave his name in history. He could not let his life be in vain.
In order to leave his name in history, he did everything he could to bite whoever he caught. Li Shimin was the one who was bitten the most.
None of the people he interacted with were people who wanted the stability of the country. It could be seen that this person had failed as a person!
