"Bang!"
Lin Chen suddenly stopped smiling and slammed his hand on the table.""Since you're loyal to your Emperor and the Great Tang, you'll be loyal to the Emperor.
And now, you are representing the Great Tang on a diplomatic mission to Donglin, so your words represent your Emperor!
Perhaps in the eyes of the Great Tang, Donglin belongs to a foreign country!
But no matter what, Donglin is a country of our own.
No matter when, Donglin has never been a vassal state of the Great Tang, not even during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties!
Donglin has its own history and culture!
My Donglin also uses a five-clawed dragon as a totem. This is the culture of our Han people!
What right do you have to say that I shouldn't use a Five-clawed Golden Dragon?
In our culture, to a certain extent, we are also a branch of the Han people. It's just that a long time ago, we had already hidden ourselves from the world.
Right now, our relationship with the Great Tang is that of two brothers, and Donglin is even wealthier and stronger!
In terms of age and wealth, the Great Tang is still my younger brother!
He, Li Shi Min, is also my younger brother!
If that was the case, he would use the Five-clawed Yellow Dragon, and I would use the Five-clawed Golden Dragon. What was there to say?”
“……”
“……”
“……”
Everyone was silent. They blinked their eyes as if something was wrong.
Speaking of which, Cui Siwen didn't mention this. Wei Zheng was the one who told him about the Five-clawed Golden Dragon.
Cui Siwen was also dumbfounded, wondering if Lin Chen had lost his mind.
"Oh, I seem to have remembered wrongly!"
Lin Chen said as he glanced at Wei Zheng. Wei Zheng felt his scalp go numb and subconsciously lowered his head.
Wei Zheng, who had never lost a battle of words, felt like a little lamb and Lin Chen was the big bad wolf.
With just one glance, Wei Zheng knew that Lin Chen had either forgotten or made a mistake. He had done it on purpose.
"What Censor Cui means is that I have offended the dignity of your Emperor. This is the same as the Five-clawed Golden Dragon and Five-clawed Yellow Dragon.
But as I said earlier, I'm one year older than your emperor.
In terms of national history, we are all Han.
In terms of subordinate relationships, Donglin has never been anyone's vassal country!
Then, as a brother, am I wrong to talk about your emperor's younger brother?
Or rather, what right does a servant-like existence like you have to be angry when I quarrel with my younger brother?
Li Shi Min is the emperor, but I'm not?
Your Great Tang has ten million citizens, and my Donglin has thirty million!
Your Great Tang has two meals a day and so many people are still hungry, but my Donglin has three meals a day and every meal is filled with fish and meat!
No matter how we compare, your Great Tang is far inferior to my Donglin!
It's said that an elder brother is like a father. I'm just implying it. What does it have to do with you?
Is it you, Cui Siwen, who doesn't want to stay in Donglin anymore, or is it your entire Cui family who wants to be enemies with Donglin?”Lin Chen said calmly.
Anyway, Li Shimin said that he would deal with these remonstrants.
Of course, to Lin Chen, Li Shiming's opinion was not important. He hated these aristocratic families.
On the one hand, it was because of the hatred for the rich that the later generations had brought. On the other hand, it was because these great clans were indeed the greatest hindrance to the development of the Great Tang.
In fact, war could promote the progress of civilization.
Looking at the history of civilization, it was actually a history of war.
However, because of the existence of these conservative aristocratic families, they were unable to develop after many wars in ancient times.
As a result, the Han people were invaded again and again.
These stubborn and unyielding scholars occupied the upper echelons. Without a bloodbath, the Great Tang could not develop at all.
Lin Chen wasn't afraid of the development of the Great Tang. He wanted the ancestors of the Great Tang to help him push up the technology tree until he could locate the year 9012. He wanted to return!
Lin Chen, who was born in the future, knew very well that as long as he had absolute power, no one would dare to resist.
