"Taste the flavor of our Yingdu!"
"These are authentic Chu dishes!"
"It must be to your liking!"
Lin Yu bowed his hands in thanks,
Then he picked up the chopsticks and tasted it.
Because of the protection of the Immortal Eucharist,
So he is not worried that the food is poisonous.
In the eyes of Queen Mother Zou,
She was very satisfied with Lin Yu's frank behavior.
If it weren't for Lin Yu's clear conscience,
How dare he eat so happily?
It's a pity that Queen Mother Zou looked at Lin Yu more and more pleasing to her eyes,
Not so the other ministers.
Especially the veteran Lu Qing, who was quite dissatisfied with Lin Yu from the beginning,
He even took advantage of this banquet to question Lin Yuxing.
He picked up a glass of wine,
Pretending to be polite, he toasted Lin Yu first,
After Lin Yu drank it,
He said politely and then said:
"I heard that the Overlord was attacking cities and territory on the border of Chu State, and captured many cities."
"The Overlord took these cities as his own."
"But after all, the Overlord is a subject of the Chu Kingdom, and the Yi Emperor is the Chu Kingdom's monarch."
"Shouldn't His Majesty distribute the cities captured by the Overlord?"
Lin Yu was not angry after hearing this,
Smiled lightly:
"Sir is right."
"Under the whole world, could it be the king's land. On the shore of the land, could it be the king's ministers."
"All the cities in Chu Kingdom belong to His Majesty."
"I'm just managing it for His Majesty."
Lu Qing snorted coldly,
And said with an inch:
"Since that's the case, why do you appoint the sheriffs of these cities without permission?"
"These sheriffs should be appointed by His Majesty!"
Lin Yu didn't argue with him either,
Instead, he nodded and said:
"As it should be."
After finishing speaking, he looked at the little emperor who was holding a pig's trotter and gnawed happily,
asked:
"His Majesty."
"Do you need to re-appoint the sheriffs of the border cities?"
The little emperor was busy wrestling with the trotters,
Gnawing with teeth and claws,
There's lard all over my hands and face,
How can there be time for these.
He couldn't help kicking Queen Mother Zou under the table with his little feet,
He hesitated and said:
"Mother, mother..."
Empress Dowager Zou understands,
Immediately answered for him:
"Prime Minister Lu, according to my palace, there is no need to do anything extra."
"Since Overlord is absolutely loyal to Chu, I should also trust him."
"It doesn't make any difference whether the county guard is appointed by him or by His Majesty."
Lin Yu was very satisfied after hearing this,
Sent a smile towards the majestic and elegant Queen Mother Zou.
Queen Mother Zou also quietly gave Lin Yu a quick glance with her phoenix eyes,
The corners of the mouth curl up slightly imperceptibly.
The old prime minister Lu Qing wanted to give Lin Yu a blow in front of the emperor and queen mother,
Unexpectedly, Queen Mother Zou blatantly turned her elbow, Wwω.Eьòókbá
He was really upset,
He took the opportunity to find fault and said:
"The overlord has occupied so many cities and hoarded so much military food, so he should pay some tribute to His Majesty, right?"
"According to the old minister's opinion, why don't you pay [-] shi every year?"
When Lin Yu heard this, he couldn't help but said in his heart:
"The old thing is really a lion!"
"Why don't you grab [-] shi of grain?"
However, through what happened just now, he saw that Queen Mother Zou still took good care of him.
With the backing of Empress Dowager Zou,
Lin Yu also spoke with more confidence,
Immediately refused without mercy:
"Prime Minister Lu, I'm not stingy."
"It's just that what I guard is the gate of Chu State."
"Now we resist Qin in the north, Wu in the east, and Shu in the south. We are surrounded by enemies on three sides, and wars happen frequently. Food and grass are the guarantee for victory."
"For the sake of Chu's safety, I must leave food and grass to the soldiers who guard the frontier."
"Forgive me for not being able to obey!"
Hearing this, Lu Qing could not help but sneer and said:
"Hurrah!"
"Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu, have you been exposed after all?"
"You occupy so many cities and countless farmlands, but you refuse to pay tribute to His Majesty!"
"What's on your mind?"
"Do you still have His Majesty in your eyes?"
Before Lin Yu could answer,
Empress Dowager Zou couldn't listen anymore.
"enough!"
"Prime Minister Lu, speak carefully!"
"Don't you forget that it is Xiang Yu who guards the safety of Chu State on the frontier and fights bloody battles with the enemy! It is not you!"
"Soldiers and horses have not moved, food and grass go first."
"Food is the foundation of war!"
"Chu's food should have been given priority to the soldiers on the front line!"
"But you forced the overlord to pay the frontline food to the court!"
"What? Are you going to fight for food with the soldiers who protect the country and the country?"
Chapter 107 I Call You Your Majesty, You Call Me Dad
Empress Dowager Zou's remarks are upright and well-founded,
Immediately, the Prime Minister Lu Qing, who was deliberately finding fault, was ashamed and ashamed!
Lin Yu heard these remarks,
I couldn't help but look at Queen Mother Zou with admiration.
I thought to myself:
"I didn't expect Queen Mother Zou to be so knowledgeable."
"It's no wonder that Chu State has been turbulent in the past ten years, but it has always stood firm."
"It all depends on the Queen Mother who is listening to the government behind the curtain to do her best."
Thinking of the hard work of Queen Mother Zou,
Lin Yu couldn't help but want to make up for her,
What a distressing beauty indeed.
And after Lu Qing made such a fuss,
During the meeting, the civil and military ministers all saw the situation clearly.
Lin Yu obviously has the support of Queen Mother Zou,
Come to trouble Lin Yu again at this time,
It's tantamount to making fun of yourself.
Empress Dowager Zou reprimanded Lu Qing a few words,
cough
Said: Wwω.Eьòókbá
"All right."
"Let's continue eating, everyone."
"Today should be a happy day."
"There's no need to say something offensive."
All the ministers nodded in agreement.
Never say another word,
Honestly, I am bored.
Lin Yu pretended to serve food, and secretly peeked at Queen Mother Zou who was sitting opposite.
Empress Dowager Zou took good care of her.
