Lin Feng took Jiang Dushan and Zhao Feixiong back to the county government office. As soon as they returned to the study, Cui Yuantu came in a hurry.
The look on his face was full of eagerness.
Lin Feng smiled and asked: "Uncle Cui, what's wrong with you?"
There was worry in Cui Yuantu's eyes, and he said: "Master Hou, I just heard someone say that you beat Prince Qu Guang of Gaochang State with a stick in public, until he fainted and his buttocks became even more bloody. Is this true? "
"Of course it's true."
Lin Feng nodded.
"Master Hou, why are you so impatient?"
A worried look appeared on Cui Yuantu's face, and he said solemnly: "If it involves Qu Guang, it will involve the diplomatic relations between the two countries. If the matter gets bigger, it will bring bad reputation to Da Qin. When the time comes, even if the emperor is on your side, , it will also be difficult to deal with. In turn, your situation will not be good. This matter is inappropriate. Even if Qu Guang did something extraordinary, he should not be so reckless."
Lin Feng said: "Uncle Cui, you act steadily and have more considerations. But I don't think about these things. For me, I only care about one thing, that is, the people of my Daqin have been bullied and must seek justice. The rest. , I don’t care or think about it.”
Cui Yuantu sighed: "It's still reckless."
Lin Feng said: "I don't think it's reckless. I'll take action when it's time to take action. If it's because the other party is from Gaochang State, then I'm afraid. Such a Great Qin is not worthy of my service. The Great Qin I know is not so weak and fearful. Da Qin is a Da Qin with a proud character, a Da Qin that is not afraid of threats and can better protect its people."
"When the Qin Dynasty was in crisis, we bravely supported the old Qin Dynasty and fought against the national crisis together."
"The Qin Dynasty is now at peace and cannot be bullied. Therefore, every old Qin person must be protected and will not be abandoned just because the other party is from Gaochang."
"This is the character of Da Qin people."
"If we give up even this point, what's the difference between me and the deceitful officials in the Xia Kingdom, and those corrupt officials? I will never give in on this point."
Lin Feng's expression was extremely strong.
He made no concessions.
After Cui Yuantu heard this, he fell silent and didn't speak for a while. He thought for a moment, then suddenly laughed again and said: "What the Marquis said makes sense. We already hate those people who are willing to sacrifice everything for their own interests. Now, I am asking the Marquis. It really shouldn't be done. This is mine." wrong."
Lin Feng said: "It's good that Uncle Cui understands. This time, we have nothing to fear."
Cui Yuantu said: "Would you report to His Majesty the envoy of Gaochang State? You must have an attitude. My suggestion is to report to Your Majesty. The relationship between the Marquis and Your Majesty is that the king knows his ministers, and the ministers also know Your Majesty, your Majesty and his ministers are in harmony with each other. Even so, there still need to be memorials to let His Majesty know what you are doing? Otherwise, conflicts will easily arise."
Lin Feng said: "According to Uncle Cui's suggestion, I will file a memorial."
Cui Yuantu narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "In fact, there should be one more person to report Gao Changguo's affairs in the memorial."
Lin Feng said: "Uncle Cui means Li Dongshan?"
Cui Yuantu nodded and said: "Li Dongshan is the governor of Liang. Although he is temporarily acting on behalf of the governor, he is still the governor. When something like this happens, Wang Yue, the prefect of the mighty county, does not have to express his position. After all, he has never Intervention, Li Dongshan is different."
"On the one hand, Li Dongshan brought Ma Yan into contact with the Marquis, and he witnessed it with his own eyes. On the other hand, Liangzhou is now under the rule of Li Dongshan, and he must express his position. It only involves Gaochang State, and it involves The two countries have diplomatic relations, and since the matter is so serious, Li Dongshan may be a coward and dare not write a letter to express his position."
"Everything depends on Li Dongshan's choice."
There was a stern look in Cui Yuantu's eyes, and he said: "If Li Dongshan doesn't express his position about Qu Guang this time, there is no need to worry about him anymore and keep a distance from him. If Li Dongshan goes to the memorial without hesitation, Li Dongshan can Keep going.”
Lin Feng said: "What Uncle Cui said is true."
"Boom! Boom!"
A knock on the door came from outside the study.
Gao Xiaoyu entered, bowed and reported, "Master Marquis, Li Dongshan is here to visit."
"please!"
Lin Feng ordered to go down.
If you really mean Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here to see if Li Dongshan is ready to distance himself or stand on Lin Feng's side.
Not long after, Li Dongshan entered. When he saw Lin Feng, he cupped his hands and said, "Master Hou."
Lin Feng said: "Prince Li, please take a seat."
Li Dongshan sat down, with a sharp look on his face, and said directly: "As for the conflict between Gaochang's envoy Ma Yan and Gaochang's prince Qu Guang in Shuiyue Pavilion, it was purely because of Gaochang's prince Qu Guang, who acted wantonly, was greedy and indulged in lust, and was even more domineering. Arrogant."
"What the Marquis has done demonstrates the character of our Great Qin, promotes the prestige of our Great Qin, and protects the people of the Great Qin."
"This is an act of justice."
"This is what must be done."
Li Dongshan was quite excited and said: "So I think it is necessary to submit a memorial based on the facts and explain the matter clearly to His Majesty to prevent His Majesty from being deceived by the envoys of Gaochang Kingdom. I have prepared a memorial and ask Your Majesty to make a decision."
Lin Feng had a smile on his face.
Li Dongshan has no background. At critical moments, he dares to make decisions without being indecisive. This is very good.
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Now that Governor Li has made a decision, just go ahead and do it. It just so happens that I will also submit a memorial to inform Your Majesty."
call!
Li Dongshan let out a sigh of relief.
He made the right bet.
After returning to the Governor's Mansion from Shuiyue Pavilion, Li Dongshan had been thinking about how to make a decision. When it comes to Gaochangguo, he was the one who personally brokered the connection between the Gaochangguo mission and Lin Feng. He was worried about being accused.
But after Li Dongshan thought about it for a while, he had to take a stand on this matter and side with Lin Feng. Under this premise, even though he was the one pulling the strings, it would not be affected. Anyway, he was dedicated to public service and did not seek benefits for Gaochang State.
Li Dongshan did not linger, stood up and said: "Since Lord Marquis agrees, I will make arrangements right away."
"I'll send Governor Li off."
Lin Feng personally sent Li Dongshan away.
At this moment, Li Dongshan was even more excited. He rushed back to write the memorial, and Lin Feng also returned to the study to write the memorial. When it came to Qu Guang's memorial, Lin Feng never said anything about Gao Changguo coming to poach people. He only elaborated on Qu Guang's prostitution for free, the conflict in Shuiyue Pavilion, and Lin Feng's handling of it.
At the end of the memorial, regarding the marriage proposal of the Gaochang Kingdom mission, Lin Feng directly expressed his opposition to the marriage.
The reason for Lin Feng's objection was very simple, just one line: Da Qin's prestige should be acquired immediately, and there is no need for women to promote it.
This is Lin Feng's reason.
Lin Feng believed that these were the words that moved Ying Jiuxiao the most. Ying Jiuxiao was a tough emperor and could understand what Lin Feng meant. After the memorial was written, Lin Feng arranged for someone to send it away quickly.
