Volume 10 Chapter 239
Chapter 239
Tang Yin looked at Cui Teng in confusion and asked with a smile: "How can Prime Minister Cui say this?"
Cui Teng looked at Lingshuang first, then took a deep breath, stood up, took two steps forward, and said in a loud voice: "The palace is the land of the royal family, it is noble and solemn, but it is built right next to my palace. Don’t you think His Highness Feng Wang is out of place in building a military camp?”
So that’s the latest chapter! Tang Yin looked around at the Yu ministers present, and they all nodded. It could be seen that the Yu court had some complaints about stationing troops next to the palace. )
He rolled his eyes, turned his head, smiled at Lingshuang, held her hand at the same time, and said leisurely: "Wang sister is my wife, and as a husband, it is my duty and right to protect my wife. Although placing a garrison outside the palace is unsightly, it can better protect the safety of Wang Mei. I believe everyone can understand this. Unless some people have ulterior motives and attempt to kill the king and usurp the throne, then of course they urgently hope that the king will withdraw. Drop the garrison to make things easier for him."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone present changed. Cui Teng was so angry that his face turned red and his body trembled. He suppressed his anger and asked in a solemn voice: "Does His Highness Feng Wang think that this old minister has disobedient intentions?" ?”
Tang Yin smiled and said: "Cui Xiang has assisted Wang Mei for many years. I believe in your loyalty."
"So, His Royal Highness, King Feng, thinks that the Yu Kingdom is unable to protect its own monarch?" Cui Teng asked aggressively.
"If you had that ability, you would not have let the Mo'an coalition forces smash the country's gates and attack the capital. The king's sister would not have to risk her life to go to the country of Mo to join the king. The ministers are incompetent, and the king is in danger. ! What qualifications do you have to mention the word "ability" in front of this king? " Tang Yin is not someone who is easy to bully. These words were so powerful that many ministers of Yu State blushed and lowered their heads subconsciously.
Cui Teng opened his mouth and hesitated for a long time without spitting out a word. The old man was so angry that he couldn't speak.
The atmosphere in the hall quickly became tense. Several angry military generals from the Yu Kingdom had already grasped the hilts of their swords and glared at Tang Yin.
Seeing this, Lingshuang cleared her throat and shouted in a deep voice: "Today is to help Brother Wang wash away the dust, not to get together and quarrel."
As she spoke, she said apologetically to Tang Yin beside her: "Brother Wang, although Prime Minister Cui's words were excessive, he did so out of sincerity for Yu State and Wang Mei. I hope Brother Wang will not take offense."
Of course, Tang Yin was not willing to make the matter a big deal. Since Lingshuang stood up to make peace, he followed the trend and said: "Wang Mei is serious. Wang Mei's ministers are also brother's ministers in the eyes of Brother Wei. Cui Xiang He is the pillar of Yu Kingdom's court, and he is loyal to Wang Mei, so how can Brother Yu blame him?"
Lingshuang smiled sweetly and said to Cui Teng: "Xiang Cui hasn't thanked His Highness Feng Wang yet?"
After all, Cui Teng was an old minister, so he knew what was important and what was more important. He sighed secretly in his heart, but bowed deeply to Tang Yin and said, "Old minister, thank you for your kindness!"
Tang Yin waved his hand and said calmly: "You're welcome, Prime Minister Cui."
"Old minister, I have one more thing to ask."
Trouble secretly. Tang Yin said patiently, "Xiang Cui, please tell me something."
Cui Teng asked seriously: "I wonder when the garrison established by His Highness the Wind King in the Yu Kingdom will be evacuated?"
Tang Yin didn't even think about it, and immediately replied: "When the time is right, when the Yu Kingdom is able to protect itself, when no one from the great powers covets the Yu Kingdom, I will withdraw from the army stationed in Yu."
Having said this, he paused, his dazzling eyes scanned everyone present one by one, and sighed meaningfully: "I know that many of you are dissatisfied with the Feng Army stationed in Yu. I think it is detrimental to the dignity of the Yu Kingdom. However, without the Feng Kingdom's garrison here, the Mo'an Alliance Army, even the Sichuan Zhen Alliance Army, and other powerful countries may invade the Yu Kingdom again at any time. If the war starts, all life will be ruined, and Yu will be the one who suffers in the end. The country itself. One hundred thousand soldiers of the Feng Kingdom, far away from their homes and relatives, rushed to the Yu Kingdom to protect the territory and people of the Yu Kingdom. I do not ask for your gratitude, but at least I hope that you will not hold any resentment and think that it is the Feng Kingdom. Bullying the country."
The ministers of the Yu Kingdom looked at each other and had nothing to say. Even Cui Teng, who stood up to ask questions, smiled bitterly and shook his head. He didn't say anything more and returned to his seat.
The purpose of Feng State's garrison in Yu State is very obvious, which is to control Yu State and bind Yu State tightly to Feng State. However, Tang Yin's words were touching and reasonable. If it happened again at this time, The rebuttal made it seem that the ministers of Yu State were too petty.
The atmosphere in the main hall fell into a dull mood again. Lingshuang changed her mind, raised her wine glass, and said with a smile: "As I said, today I am just drinking to cheer up Brother Wang. As for the government affairs between the two countries, we will discuss it later!"
"Yes, yes!" The ministers of the Yu Kingdom reacted quickly. Following Lingshuang's words, they raised their glasses one after another and said to Tang Yin: "I am waiting for you, Your Highness King Feng!"
Tang Yin also picked up the cup, drank the wine in one gulp with a smile on his face.
In fact, he had a clear mind in his heart. Even though Ling Shuang was busy making peace with him, in fact, every move, word and deed of the Yu Kingdom ministers was under her control. Cui Teng's words were also what she wanted. the words said.
The banquet ended happily with the enthusiastic persuasion of both parties. According to the arrangements of the Yu State, Tang Yin had to live in the palace, and the accompanying civil servants and military generals had to live in the hotel in Kangyang.
The reason why Yu State made such an arrangement was out of necessity. After all, Tang Yin was the king, and he and Ling Shuang were husband and wife, so it was not appropriate for him to stay in the hotel. In response, Tang Yin took the initiative to refuse and let him live in the palace. Where would he live in the palace?
Sleeping with Ling Shuang? He has no love for Lingshuang, so naturally he has no "sexual interest". What's more, the palace is his territory, and there are countless people in the Yu Kingdom's court who have resentment towards him, and no one else. He said that Xu Wenfeng, who was in charge of the palace guards, wanted to cut himself into pieces. The situation of living in the palace was definitely much more dangerous than in a hotel. Tang Yin is not afraid of danger, but is afraid of disputes and the risk of the relationship between the two countries breaking down.
Lingshuang and Tang Yin had the same idea. She didn't want him to live in the palace, but she couldn't find a reasonable excuse. Now that Tang Yin took the initiative, she let her breathe a sigh of relief.
Just when she was about to agree, Left Prime Minister Gao Yuan shook his head slightly at her, hinting that she couldn't. Gao Yuan could see very clearly that the people of Yu State were very supportive and recognized of the marriage between the two monarchs of Feng and Yu. Now that King Feng came to Yu State, thousands of pairs of eyes were watching. If King Feng were allowed to live in the country, it would be carried out I'm afraid it will arouse dissatisfaction among the people and make other countries look at Yu's joke.
Like Cui Teng, Gao Yuan is also a veteran of the court, and his opinions are of great importance to Ling Shuang.
Seeing him shaking his head, Lingshuang swallowed back the words that were on her lips, smiled at Tang Yin and said, "Brother Wang can live in peace in the palace, but Sister Wang has already made arrangements in Yulan Palace. Brother Wang, there is no need to refuse anymore."
The halls in King Yu's Palace all start with the character "yu", and the Yulan Palace is located next to the Yuxin Palace in the Lingshuang Palace. Lingshuang's repeated persistence made it impossible for Tang Yin to shirk it anymore, so he had no choice but to agree happily.
The civil servants and military generals of Feng State could stay at the hotel, but Tang Yin kept the two guard generals A San and A Si with him. In addition, the Feng State maid and the female official Ji Lianyan who served him also stayed with him. Lan Dian.
The courtyard where the Yulan Temple is located is not big, but not small either. There are rockeries, a semi-artificial lake, and a pavilion for people to enjoy flowers.
It is autumn now, and the sweet-scented osmanthus is in full bloom. There are clusters of orange flowers on the trees, and the air is filled with a strong but not pungent floral fragrance.
Tang Yin felt that the fragrance of flowers was very familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered that the yu wine he drank in the main hall just now had this kind of smell. He asked Lingshuang, who had accompanied him, "Did we drink osmanthus wine just now?"
Lingshuang was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile: "How did Brother Wang know?" She remembered that she didn't seem to introduce him specifically.
Tang Yin pointed to the sweet-scented osmanthus trees in the courtyard and said, "They all have the same taste."
Lingshuang was happy, and turned to look at Tang Yin, and was surprised to find that his face was unnaturally rosy, and the smile on his face was much more open than usual, or more sincere.
Osmanthus wine is delicious, sweet in the mouth, and can only taste a faint taste of wine, but this does not mean that it is not strong. Tang Yin drank several pots of wine in the main hall like drinking water. At that time, he didn't think anything about it. Now that he was outside, he was As soon as the night wind blew, the alcohol surged up immediately, and now he was in a tipsy state.
Not sure if it was because of the alcohol, Tang Yin smiled and said, "I think the osmanthus from the Yu Kingdom is more beautiful than the osmanthus from the Feng Kingdom!"
Lingshuang chuckled and said, "If Brother Wang likes it, you can transplant the osmanthus from the Yu Kingdom to the Feng Kingdom."
"Beautiful things are always too delicate, and Feng Country is not suitable for delicate existences." Tang Yin smiled lightly, raised his head, and said, "Sister Wang, there is no need to give it away anymore. It's getting late. Go back and rest early!" As he spoke, He walked slowly towards the pavilion in the courtyard.
The servants accompanying Feng Guo quickly lit all the candlesticks in the courtyard.
Lingshuang did not leave immediately, but sat in the pavilion with Tang Yin and said, "I will sit with Brother Wang for a while."
"It's already very late." Tang Yin reminded again.
Lingshuang chuckled and asked, "Brother Wang, are you still afraid that I have evil intentions towards you?"
Tang Yin shrugged and said, "I'm not afraid that you have evil intentions, but that your husband has evil intentions!" While speaking, he also looked at Xu Wen who was standing outside the pavilion and looking into the pavilion. maple.
He 100% believed that if Lingshuang stayed here for one more second, Xu Wenfeng's hatred for him would increase even more. As far as he was concerned, this was an 'unjust injustice'.
Lingshuang also noticed Xu Wenfeng's anxiety, but she had to communicate clearly with Tang Yin in private. If the two could not reach a consensus and had differences of opinion, then the ministers of the two countries would quarrel in the court. .
