Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 721 Giving Enough Face

The Imperial Household Department would use horse-drawn carriages to transport water into the city every day for use throughout the imperial palace.

The water truck has been detained for two days and no one can help.

The leader of the Royal Guards said only one sentence.

Either get the order from King Rui or the order from the commander of the Royal Guards.

Everything else doesn't work.

King Rui received the report the next day.

Because apart from the spring water from Yufu Mountain used in the palace, almost all other princes and nobles drank this spring water, and they all went to the mountain to transport water every day.

However, they were all detained by the Imperial Guards, and only the carriage of Prince Rui's Palace was allowed to pass.

Isn't this a slap in the face of King Rui?

Prince Rui was so angry that he threw the teacup in his hand to the ground in the study.

"Lin Feng is so bold that he actually seized the palace's waterwheel. Is there any law in the world?"

Xu Jin, who was standing at the side of the study, bowed and said quickly.

"Your Highness, why don't we just go to Kuncheng and capture Lin Feng?"

Prince Rui glanced at him with disdain.

"are you going?"

Xu Jin paused, lowered his head and dared not speak.

How could he dare to go? Once he went, he would definitely not be able to come back.

Someone from the palace has come to the mansion to inquire about the situation and ask King Rui to issue a warrant to release their water carts.

After much thought, Prince Rui felt that there was really no other solution, so he could only scold Xu Jin harshly.

"Who told you to arbitrarily change the city defense rules? Don't you think the city isn't chaotic enough? You've just taken office, and you've already caused me such a mess. Can you still do your job?"

Xu Jin was so frightened that he dared not speak. He immediately knelt on the ground and lowered his head to listen to the lecture.

King Rui scolded him for two quarters of an hour before he calmed down a little.

"Come here, call the head of the Ministry of Revenue to come over and explain to me why the Imperial Guards are not being supplied."

The servant immediately ran out to pass on the order.

The Minister of Revenue has been recuperating at home for many years due to his old age and illness, and the entire work of the Ministry of Revenue is presided over by Lin Cangshi.

There is also a vice minister in the Ministry of Revenue, who is a new official appointed in recent years and has little say.

Therefore, after Lin Cangshi was captured by Lin Feng, several of his confidants took action and strangled the imperial guards.

But no one expected that Lin Feng was so powerful that he dared to seal the four gates of Kyoto City and prevent all supplies from entering the city.

The current Ministry of Revenue is headed by a Shaoqing named Ding Junshan, who was promoted by Lin Cangshi himself and is also Lin Cangshi's staunch supporter.

When Ding Junshan received the message from the palace, he immediately took two doctors and hurried to the palace.

He knew that he had caused a big trouble and had arbitrarily cut off the supply of the Royal Guards, which was a serious crime.

However, if the Imperial Guards surrender, it won’t be a big deal.

Everyone knows what's going on, they're just trying to show off.

Unexpectedly, Lin Feng made a big deal out of a small matter.

As soon as Ding Junshan entered the palace and came to the door of the front hall, he knelt on the ground.

King Rui originally didn't want to talk to such a small person, but this matter made him very angry and he had to vent.

Seeing Ding Junshan kneeling at the door, his heart, which had just calmed down, began beating violently again.

"You want to fucking die, don't you?"

When dealing with these minor officials, Prince Rui no longer wanted to pretend to be polite and cursed at them.

When Ding Junshan heard this, he immediately bowed his head to the ground, bent his body, and dared not move.

"Who gave you the courage? Huh? Why don't you cut off your own family's food supply?"

"You've caused such a big trouble, can you calm it down? Can I use your nine clans to appease the wrath of the Imperial Guards?"

Ding Junshan was trembling all over and crying.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. I was wrong... I deserve to die..."

Prince Rui waved his hand and said, "Drag him out and give him thirty lashes."

A guard came over immediately, grabbed Ding Junshan by the collar and dragged him into the yard.

Listening to the crackling sound, Xu Jin shrank his neck and moved closer to King Rui.

"Your Highness, I will go to Lin Feng to apologize. It was all my fault. I wanted to strengthen the city defense..."

"Don't give me that shit. Even if you go and apologize, Lin Feng won't bother to pay any attention to you."

Xu Jin quickly said, "I want to bring Eunuch Zhu along with me. If we don't consider the monk's face, we should consider the Buddha's face. Perhaps..."

He and Zhu Qisheng spend all day together, so even if they don't have a close relationship, no one can afford to give him this honor.

"Hurry up, I want to see the city gate open today."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. If I can't handle this matter, I will bring my head to you."

After saying this, he saw King Rui waving his hand, so he bowed and walked out.

When Zhu Qisheng heard Xu Jin say this, his face wrinkled like a pumpkin in embarrassment.

I was thinking to myself, you fucking caused all the trouble and now you have to clean up your mess. Is that fair?

She wanted to refuse, but Xu Jin couldn't resist and pulled Concubine Du in to help speak.

Concubine Du and Xu Jin wore the same pants.

Ever since Emperor Zhao Zhen lost interest in the matter in bed, the young Concubine Du was well taken care of by the strong Xu Jin, so she just accepted it.

Over time, the two became a community of shared interests and were inseparable from each other.

Zhu Qisheng had no choice but to accompany Xu Jin, prepare gifts, and go to Kuncheng.

Lin Feng didn't intend to make things difficult for these petty officials. He just wanted to show his strength a little to let the big guys see and stop messing with him.

Because he had no time to fight with them. The rebels were expanding and strengthening day by day, and he had to consolidate his front line west of Dazong as soon as possible.

Although we are not planning to move eastward to destroy the Taisho Dynasty for the time being, we cannot allow them to grow and become stronger.

It is best not to do anything that will cause you trouble in the future.

Seeing Xu Jin following Zhu Qisheng to the door, Lin Feng stood up from his seat and took a few steps forward to greet them.

"With the arrival of Eunuch Zhu, this matter has become a big deal."

"Oh, my Lord, you are so ashamed of us. You have come to us with such shamelessness. Please don't be unhappy."

"How dare I, please take a seat. Come, serve tea to Eunuch Zhu."

Lin Feng let Zhu Qisheng take his seat, then turned around and sat down at his desk.

But he didn't even look at Xu Jin, leaving him standing awkwardly behind Eunuch Zhu.

Zhu Qisheng let out a long sigh.

"My Lord, this is all because this guy just took office and didn't know anything about the situation. He just started the fire recklessly. As a result, he almost set his own hair on fire, hehe..."

Only then did Lin Feng look at Xu Jin with a smile.

"General Xu's injury has healed, right? It's good to be young, full of courage and adventurous spirit."

Xu Jin was secretly complaining in his heart, but on the surface he quickly bowed and saluted.

"Please forgive me, Commander. It was all due to my confusion that I almost got chopped off by the prince."

Lin Feng waved his hand and said, "This matter can be big or small. Since Eunuch Zhu is here in person, I think everything is a small matter."

"Oh, the honor the Duke has given me today is a big deal. I am deeply grateful."

Zhu Qisheng was really a little excited.

The favor Lin Feng gave was definitely not small.

Xu Jin immediately saluted again and said, "Your Excellency, please be magnanimous. From now on, no obstacles will be placed on the way for the Imperial Guards to enter the city."

Eunuch Zhu also added: "The supplies for the Imperial Guards are already on the way and will be fully distributed. Even if others are short of supplies, we cannot be short of the troops protecting our clan."

In this matter, Lin Feng gave Zhu Qisheng enough face, which made Zhu very happy.
