"So it's Wei Zheng. I know you!”Lin Chen nodded.
This sentence immediately made Wei Zheng suppress his anger.
As a hypocrite who wanted to leave his name in the annals of history, when Wei Zheng heard that Lin Chen knew him, he felt a sense of satisfaction as if the whole world knew about him. This feeling of satisfaction diluted his anger.
"Lizhi, can you introduce me to the others?”Lin Chen looked away and said calmly.
"Alright, Country Ruler…"
"Call me brother! Didn't I tell you? In Donglin, you don't have to follow the Great Tang's rules!”Lin Chen scolded.
" How dare you, you little barbarian..." Wei Zheng interrupted decisively and stomped his feet.
"Hmm?" Lin Chen snorted.
"Swoosh…"
Under the flag, other than the soldiers who were pointing their guns at the Tang soldiers, the rest of the soldiers raised their guns and aimed at Wei Zheng.
Although Wei Zheng did not know what a gun was, he could logically guess that it was a weapon.
With so many weapons aimed at him, it was impossible to say that Wei Zheng did not feel guilty.
However, Wei Zheng, this old fellow, was very stubborn because he was old and saw through everything. He only wanted to leave his name in history.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to raise his hand and bow in the direction he came in. Then, he waved his sleeves and looked up at Lin Chen arrogantly."The Great Tang is a country of the Heavenly Dynasty, and you are a foreign country. How dare you ask the princess of the Great Tang to call you brother? Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will blame you?”
Lin Chen wasn't afraid of this old troll.
"Wei Zheng, tell me, why is the Eastwoods Kingdom a foreign country in your eyes?" he sneered.
If you can't give me an explanation today, although I won't blame this matter on your Emperor, I still want you to give me an explanation!”
"Brother King…"
Li Lizhi wanted to say something, but Lin Chen raised his hand to stop her and looked at Wei Zheng.
"The Great Tang Empire is located in the center of the heavens. His Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and the surrounding small countries are just like your Donglin Kingdom!”Wei Zheng cupped his hands and said proudly.
"Oh? Tian Zi?"
"If your Emperor is the Son of Heaven, then what is your Retired Emperor?" Lin Chen sneered.”
"Uh…this is naturally Tian Zi!”Wei Zheng seemed to have a bad feeling.
"Your Retired Emperor is the son of Heaven, and your Emperor is also the son of Heaven…This…I don't quite understand!
Secretary Wei, please explain!
Your Retired Emperor is the son of Heaven. After sending down the mortal world to be the Emperor, then send your current Emperor to take over. When the time is up, your Retired Emperor will return to Heaven, right?”
"Yes!" Wei Zheng replied.
"Then, does your Confucian school have a classic saying that a son can become a grandson?
In other words, Old Weng and his daughter-in-law had another son.
That was the only way to show that his son and grandson were the same person. Secretary Wei thought so?”Lin Chen said.
"Ah…"
Wei Zheng's old face instantly turned red and black.
It was taboo even in the modern era, let alone in ancient times!
Although the wealthy and noble families had a lot of trouble, some things could not be said openly.
Not to mention Wei Zheng, the other civil officials who were so scared that their legs were trembling were all in an uproar.
"No…No! This isn't a matter of one thing, so let's count it as our own!" Wei Zheng stuttered.
"Oh! Alright! Then may I ask, where is the nobility of the Great Tang? Please give an example!" Lin Chen asked again.
Lin Chen didn't mention the incident at the Black Tortoise Gate. He knew that was a taboo for Li Shiming.
In principle, Lin Chen didn't want to have any conflict with the Great Tang. After all, they were his ancestors.
Furthermore, after experiencing modern society, Lin Chen knew that violence could not solve all problems.
He made himself an emperor because he could manage the future easily. He didn't need to worry about anything. It was just a matter of identity, and identity was very important in ancient times.
If he were to conquer the Great Tang and become its Emperor, Lin Chen would not be willing.
