Chapter 743 Do You Dare to Marry?

"Men and women are different because they are different genders."

Zhao Tianyu tugged at his collar.

"Hey, I'm a man now, we're the same."

Without waiting for Lin Feng to refute, he immediately put on a smile and looked at Lin Feng.

"Lin Feng, others don't dare to marry, do you dare?"

Lin Feng grinned, speechless for a moment.

It is rare to see such a bold woman in this era. In other words, it is almost unheard of to see a woman so shameless.

Pei Qiyin took the opportunity to pour tea for Zhao Tianyu and said softly.

"There is nothing my general dares not do."

Lin Feng quickly shouted, "I want you to cause trouble."

Pei Qiyin smiled, lowered his head and stepped aside.

But Zhao Tianyu didn't let him go, and stared at Lin Feng with her beautiful eyes without blinking.

"Lin Feng, do you dare?"

"I dare not, Princess. Your tea is very good."

Zhao Tianyu ignored him and continued to ask.

"why?"

Lin Feng had to speak seriously.

"I don't adapt to the principles of your Zhao family."

"You can change us."

"I'm revising it, but...I'm afraid the contradictions here will be huge."

"How big is it?"

Lin Feng took a sip of tea, carefully savoring the fragrance between his lips and teeth.

"You'll find out tomorrow."

"Lin Feng, do you want to change the royal power?"

Lin Feng shook his head: "If I were to change your power, I'm afraid the means wouldn't be so gentle."

"So what do you want to change?"

"system."

Zhao Tianyu frowned and thought, then shook his head.

"I don't care about that. I just want to know if my brother can continue to be the emperor."

The two looked at each other for a long while.

"I'm... not sure..."

Zhao Tianyu looked gloomy and gently turned the teacup in his hand.

"My brother is very kind. When the emperor was choosing a crown prince, I strongly recommended Zhao Zhen as the successor, and the emperor agreed with me."

Lin Feng nodded: "I admit that your brother is a good man, but he is not a good emperor. His methods are too soft and he is not diligent enough. The people will suffer."

"Lin Feng, you can assist him. I think he will listen to your advice."

"hope so."

At this point, the two had nothing more to say.

Each of them sipped their tea in silence.

It seemed like a century had passed.

Finally, Zhao Tianyu stood up and said goodbye.

He didn't say anything, just waved his hand to indicate that he was leaving.

Without the usual courtesy, Lin Feng sat there without moving, just silently listening to her footsteps gradually fading away.

In the early morning of the next day, Lin Feng was pushed up by Pei Qiyin and began to wash and dress.

It was dark.

The guards in the yard were already lined up.

To attend the morning court, as a military general, you must be fully dressed.

Lin Feng refused armor and wore only a long robe with a belt around his waist and a cloak over it.

Her long hair was tied up and covered with a scarf.

Pei Qiyin followed him outside the house and strode out of the courtyard gate between two rows of guards.

Someone was already waiting at the bottom of the steps, leading a white horse.

There were guards standing in front, behind, left and right. Lin Feng was riding in the middle, and Pei Qiyin was on the side, half a horse's length away.

In front are Cheng Liang and Wen Jian, and on the sides and behind are Pei Qiyin and Xie Zhong.

In the entire alley, the only sound was the sound of horse hooves, which shattered the surrounding darkness.

The street outside the alley was also filled with royal cavalrymen, quietly waiting for Lin Feng to come over.

It was dark, and countless torches lit up the streets. Lin Feng's guards were in front and behind him, and he didn't know where to go.

This place was indeed not far from the imperial palace. In less than a quarter of an hour, the war horses in front stopped and separated to both sides, making way for the middle road.

Lin Feng and others rode their horses forward and arrived at the gate of the imperial palace.

In the light of torches, in front of the palace gate, there was a forest of spears, the sharp spear blades flashing with a cold light.

Zhao Fengchun came forward quickly and shouted loudly from a distance.

"Is this Duke Lin Feng's team?"

Cheng Liang, who was riding in front, raised his hand in response.

"Commander Zhao, my master is here."

As he spoke, Zhao Fengchun came closer and bowed with a smile.

"Oh, I saw it from a distance. My Lord, you have to dismount and walk here. You see..."

Lin Feng nodded: "Okay, follow the rules."

Zhao Fengchun accompanied Lin Feng, introducing the rules of the morning court while standing half a body ahead to lead the way for Lin Feng.

Cheng Liang, who was following behind, saw Lin Feng heading towards the palace gate, so he waved his hand and ordered the guards to make way for other officials who were attending the morning court.

Zhao Fengchun led Lin Feng to the gate of the palace and asked carefully.

"Duke, how many guards do you think it would be appropriate to bring into the palace?"

Lin Feng pondered for a moment.

"I won't make it difficult for you. How about a hundred guards?"

Zhao Fengchun rubbed his hands and smiled.

"My Lord, this guard cannot enter the palace."

Lin Feng nodded: "Don't worry, just stay outside the palace."

Zhao Fengchun bowed and said, "In that case, I wish you all the best."

"Thanks."

Lin Feng strode into the palace gate, with Pei Qiyin and Xie Zhong following closely behind him.

Xie Zhong's firearms battalion divided into one hundred soldiers and also stepped into the palace gate.

Cheng Liang and Wen Jian were responsible for commanding the guards outside the palace and stayed on both sides of the door.

The reason why Lin Feng wanted so many guards to enter the palace was that he felt that this morning court session might cause unpleasantness with some people.

He was in charge of too many prefectures and counties, and these places were unable to pay taxes to the court, so that the court was almost unable to make ends meet.

Even some minor officials could not tolerate such a situation, let alone the princes and nobles.

There was no money in the treasury, and everyone in the court had no salaries.

If you don’t pay wages, who will work for you?

But if the royal family cannot collect taxes, how can they pay the ministers’ salaries?

This contradiction is concentrated in the seven prefectures in Zhenxi under the jurisdiction of Lin Feng.

Let’s not talk about the contradictions of institutional reform for now, just saying that it won’t work if we don’t spend money.

It was not yet time for the morning court session, and the palace doors were closed.

All the ministers were waiting outside the palace. The huge royal courtyard was dotted with lights.

Lin Feng walked forward and reached the top of the stairs.

Crown Prince Zhao Cun, Prince of Rui Zhao Xun, Prince of Lu Zhao Bing, Grand Tutor Wan Quan, Prime Minister Han Qi and others were already standing here.

Lin Feng's guards were already standing with the Jinwu guards on both sides of the steps.

Only Lin Feng and Pei Qiyin came forward and greeted the big guys with a bow.

Prince Rui took a step forward.

"Lin Feng, I didn't expect you to get up so early."

"Your Highness, the rules of the morning court are still there. How can you get up late?"

Grand Tutor Wan Quan said in a low voice.

"Young people have a deep sleep, so getting up is very difficult."

Lin Feng laughed and said, "This is my first time attending a morning court session. I didn't dare sleep that night and have been staring awake till now."

"Hahaha..."

This remark caused laughter.

Han Qi laughed and shook his head.

"Amazing! Look at his aura. I feel like I've lived most of my life in vain."

Wan Quan said in a deep voice, "Commander Lin remained calm in the face of a million enemy troops, let alone the few of us officials in front of him."

Crown Prince Zhao Cun also laughed and said, "Thinking back to the time when I was facing several elders, I was so terrified that I didn't know where to put my hands and feet. When they asked questions, I just trembled all over and didn't know what to say. Looking at Duke Lin again, I feel ashamed."
