Cui Siwen was trembling from Lin Chen's words. She suddenly remembered everything she had seen after entering Donglin.
How could the Cui family compete with the god-like Donglin?
Even if it was the Great Tang, could a country like this contend against it?
Cui Siwen and the others had never seen Dong Lin's weapons before, but they weren't fools.
In ancient times, war was actually about gathering food and fodder, not fighting soldiers. Other than the decisive battle, there were usually not many people who died on the battlefield. Instead, more people died from their wounds.
As long as the difference wasn't too great, in a war, rations were the will of an army.
With an empty stomach, no one could fight.
As for Dong Lin, they didn't see a single beggar, nor did they see a single emaciated person.
The food was indescribably good.
Under such circumstances, how could they fight?
Cui Siwen wanted to beg for mercy, but the pride of the aristocratic families and the people around them made him unable to let go of his pride.
In an instant, Cui Siwen was forced into a corner by Lin Chen.
Amidst the silence, Lin Chen suddenly laughed and said,"Haha, I'm sorry, your tone is too harsh. The two countries don't kill envoys, so don't be afraid!
However, Censor Cui, please be careful in the future. Don't talk about how bold you are. Donglin is a country more powerful than the Great Tang.
Whether I, Lin Chen, am bold or not is not up to you to decide!
Is there anything else you want to ask?
Just ask!
However, as the saying goes, I'll show you respect for every bit of respect you give me. I, Lin Chen, don't have a good temper. Please forgive me!
After all, I'm young. Youth is capital!
Haha, let's not talk anymore. Everyone, please have some tea!”
Lin Chen wanted to use this opportunity to kill Cui Siwen.
However, after thinking about it, he decided not to. It was not that he was afraid of anything, but that he was waiting for others to jump out.
Humans were like this. Killing the chicken to warn the monkeys might be effective, but the effect would not last long.
Therefore, he had to either cut the weeds and eliminate the roots, or cast a long line to catch the big fish.
After this incident, they would definitely have a private meeting tonight…
Everyone subconsciously raised their teacups and took a sip, and the fragrance of tea that was different from that of the Great Tang immediately brewed in their mouths, clearing their minds.
"Ruler, what tea is this? It feels completely different from the tea of the Great Tang!”Wei Zheng asked.
Although Wei Zheng was stubborn, he was not a fool. He was taking advantage of the situation.
Lin Chen's mouth twitched at the mention of Tang tea.
He had asked Li Lizhi before. The tea leaves of the Great Tang were indeed tea leaves, but there was no stir-frying process invented by later generations.
Moreover, he could add all kinds of heavy-tasting ingredients according to his taste, such as mutton soup, orange peel, garlic, pepper, and so on.
Although it was called tea, it was actually a type of soup dish.
"These are pure tea leaves. After a series of complicated processes, they will be ready after being rinsed with boiling water.”Lin Chen said casually.
"I see. It's already late. Where are we going to rest?”Wei Zheng changed the topic.
The topic of discussing state affairs was naturally not so urgent. This was not a small matter.
Lin Chen looked up at the sky. It was still early. However, when he thought about how the ancient people of the Tang Empire didn't eat dinner and how they had arrived in the afternoon, he guessed that they would think that today was over.
"Alright, follow me!" Lin Chen nodded and stood up.
Since none of them wanted dinner, Lin Chen wouldn't ask for trouble. After all, these people weren't friends.
Walking into the corridor with soft lights, the waiters stood on both sides. In the quiet corridor, only Lin Chen's footsteps could be heard.
" Cough, the king's palace is really luxurious and tall..." Cui Siwen said.
Obviously, this guy had been threatened by Lin Chen and wanted to solve this problem. He didn't want to fall out with Lin Chen.
"Censor Cui, you've misunderstood. This place is just a combination of your Great Tang's restaurants and inns!
My Donglin doesn't have an imperial palace. You can think of this as a reception area under the Chamberlain of Dependencies!
Our Donglin only has the administrative building to handle government affairs, similar to your Taiji Palace!”Lin Chen chuckled.
"Restaurant?"
"An inn?"
“……”
The group of remonstrants were once again scared half to death.
If even the restaurant was so luxurious, then the real palace…
