Chapter 571 Meal Size Reduced by Half
Xu Jin and Pan Yang understood the princess's feelings and did not follow her forward, giving them a chance to talk alone.
Han Su passed by Xu Jin and Pan Yang, and they smiled at him.
He felt that such a good thing should not be allowed to happen. Lin Feng would reward him handsomely, right?
They were all thinking that they would ask Han Su to treat them to a good meal and drink when they got back.
But Han Su felt aggrieved, secretly complaining about how lucky the two people were and why he was so unlucky to have to deal with such a thing.
In desperation, he finally arrived in front of the eldest princess after some delay.
Zhao Yi didn't look at him, but just observed carefully the log in front of her, which was covered with moss and old bark.
"Uh...Princess, what Lin Feng means is..."
Zhao Yi used her slender white hands to scratch the bark on the log without saying a word.
"He didn't dare to agree to this privately without His Majesty's consent. Of course, he was very happy that the princess thought highly of him."
Zhao Yi's fingers that were knuckling against the tree bark stopped moving, and his whole body stood there quietly, motionless.
Han Su tilted his head nervously to look at the princess's expression, but there was no expression.
After a while, Zhao Yi whispered, "I, the princess, have personally presented him to your door, and he dares not marry him?"
Han Su said patiently, "Princess, this matter really requires the approval of the elders of both families, and then after three matchmakers and six betrothal gifts, it can be..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Yi said angrily.
"It's wartime now, and Kyoto is about to be breached by the rebels, yet Lin Feng is here building a huge ship. As a minister, he has disregarded the emperor, the court, and Kyoto. How is he any different from a rebel?"
Zhao Yi was really angry.
Han Su lowered his head and didn't dare to respond, he had to hold his breath.
"I can't give him a promotion, and I can't marry him off. What does he want?"
Han Su remained silent, knowing in his heart that the princess was not asking him.
"Is he just waiting for Kyoto to fall and for my father to be killed by that Zhao Zheng?"
"Or do you want to starve everyone in Kyoto to death?"
Zhao Yi couldn't suppress her anger and grievance. After venting for a while, she calmed down.
Since Lin Feng is unwilling to marry her, how should she persuade Lin Feng to go to Beijing immediately to save the capital from crisis?
This is not possible, and that is not possible either. She, Zhao Yi, must find out Lin Feng’s final condition today.
Lin Feng no longer thought about anything else, thinking that King Rui's sincerity was the greatest.
In fact, Lin Feng didn't care what others thought. He gave up conquering the Tiezhen Imperial Court and led his team directly to the mainland of Dazong from the Baruxishi City in Tiezhen.
It was originally requested by King Rui.
The reason why I settled down here was to make King Rui independent and have a dialogue with me.
Unexpectedly, Prince Rui always requested the emperor to confer a title on him, or asked the court officials to recognize Lin Feng.
Although a lot of work was done, Lin Feng hesitated to move forward.
The emperor and his court officials' actions made Lin Feng unhappy, so of course he didn't want to do such a thankless job.
Finally, King Rui realized that his actions could not impress Lin Feng.
Now they have changed their strategy and shown their sincerity.
Seeing that Yi Min and several other royal guards were still looking at him expectantly, he strode over.
"In fact, it's very simple to relieve Kyoto. As long as I send a team to Lindu, the siege of Kyoto will be lifted immediately."
Yi Min and the other three immediately knelt on one leg, clasped their fists and shouted.
"Please, General Lin, lift the siege of Kyoto. We will die in return."
"Can you still go back?"
Yi Min shook his head: "The rebels are besieging the city. Even if we can break out, it will probably be difficult to get in."
"Okay, follow me to Tianzhi City and see how to fight this battle most quickly."
Several Royal Guards officers suddenly became excited and shouted yes.
Five hundred guards gathered immediately and followed Lin Feng's white horse, heading straight for Tianzhi City.
Princess Zhao Yi didn't want to see Lin Feng now, and she didn't want Lin Feng to see her, but her mission to leave the city was not completed, so she could only take three hundred guards and follow them.
Inside the government office of Tianzhi City, Lin Feng spread out the map on the desk.
He had already memorized the terrain and topography of this place.
It's just a review again.
Tianzhifu City is more than 500 miles away from Kuncheng, one of the capital's citadels.
The Lindu Prefecture City is almost at the same distance, and the three cities are distributed in a triangle.
However, to get from Tianzhi City to Lindu City, one needs to walk along a mountain road, which is a section of the Tianzhi Mountains.
If he wanted to attack Lindu City, he would have to carry all his equipment and cross mountains and rivers, which would be difficult to carry.
If we go directly to Kyoto Acropolis, we will have to confront the main force of the rebels.
Lin Feng's finger moved slowly on the map, thinking in his mind about what to do.
Since you have agreed to it, don't hesitate any longer.
"Cheng Liang, notify the leaders of each tribe and ask them to come to the government office for a meeting."
In less than two quarters of an hour, all the military leaders gathered in the lobby of the government office.
After Hu Jincai recaptured Sanjiang Prefecture, he returned to the Tianzhi City military camp.
Wang Qian, Lin Qiaomei, Li Donglai, Wei Bao, Xie Zhong, Chu Jiao, Xi Niang, Zhu Jie and others sat neatly in two rows.
Everyone became excited when they heard that they were going to fight against Fu Wang’s rebels.
Kyoto City.
Inside the palace, Emperor Zhao Zhen was losing his temper.
Because the imperial kitchen reduced the amount of food he prepared by half.
"What's going on? Don't I want to eat?"
Concubine Wan and Concubine Du were accompanying the emperor, one picking up food for him and the other busy pouring a glass of wine.
"Your Majesty, the Grand Tutor told you the day before yesterday that in order to ensure food supplies for the army, the rations for everyone in the city would be reduced by half, and you agreed to that."
Concubine Wan spoke very clearly while acting coquettishly.
Zhao Zhen rolled his eyes and stroked his forehead.
"Oh, it seems like that's the case. My mind is a little confused."
Concubine Du pouted and said, "Your Majesty, in a few days, I'm afraid the amount of wine will have to be reduced by half."
"Why, the army still wants to drink?"
"The winemakers have run out of food and have stopped production."
Zhao Zhen slammed the table and said, "Damn it! Isn't this going to kill me?"
Concubine Wan quickly advised, "My Lord, I heard that many people have starved to death in the city. Drinking is harmful to your health. Let's drink less."
When Zhao Zhen heard that he had to reduce his food intake by half, he didn't think much of it. But when he heard that he also had to reduce his alcohol intake, he was immediately sad.
He held his forehead with his hand and remained silent.
When the two concubines were wondering how to persuade them, they heard Zhao Zhen say gloomily.
"Do you think I'm incompetent?"
"How could that be? Your Majesty is so wise and powerful, who in the world can compare to him?"
"Bullshit! I'm a wise and powerful man, but I'm trapped in the city, leaving my people to starve?"
Zhao Zhen, who is usually gentle, suddenly cursed.
There was silence for a moment.
"I regret it a little."
"Your Majesty, what do you regret?"
"I should have listened to Prince Rui and rewarded Lin Feng generously. Perhaps Kyoto City wouldn't be in such trouble today..."
Concubine Du said disdainfully: "Your Majesty, don't listen to other people's nonsense. Lin Feng doesn't have the ability to solve the problem. If he did, why would he sit still and let the rebels surround the city?"
"Oh, is this the case?"
