Zhang Mo, the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict, accepted it with great reluctance.
He and Prime Minister Li Lin were old acquaintances.
Because they were old acquaintances, he knew just how unreliable Li Lin was, to the point that he was genuinely unwilling to go to the Prime Minister's residence.
Unfortunately, his boss had already changed.
It was not his former superior Gao Shu, but Zhao Yi, a member of the First Emperor's imperial clan.
Zhao Yi was indeed a eunuch, but he was not a eunuch.
Yes.
He's a man, a grown man.
In the Qin Dynasty, becoming a eunuch didn't require losing any body parts, but becoming a palace eunuch did.
And that is precisely why.
Those eunuchs were truly miserable.
They are proper men, how could they possibly look down on these eunuchs who have no testicles?
All their reasonable demands were rejected; if they didn't want to work there, they were fired.
This high-pressure stance.
Even though he was extremely unwilling, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to the Prime Minister's residence.
no way.
Who can blame him when the Prime Minister is his nemesis?
but.
He had barely arrived at the Prime Minister's residence when Prime Minister Li Lin was "invited" by Fan Kuai to Hu Hai's residence in an "extremely friendly" manner.
He is no longer in the Prime Minister's residence.
In response, Manyin hinted to Li Lin that he should go first, and that she and the angel would arrive shortly after.
And so.
Zhang Mo had barely arrived at the Prime Minister's residence, and before he could even sit down, he was unlucky enough to be led by Manyin to Hu Hai's residence.
Hu Hai's residence.
At this time, the lights were on full display.
Surrounded by the crowd, Prime Minister Li Lin drank heartily, then took his seat and, without any regard for etiquette, picked up a large pig's trotter and began to devour it.
While eating, he exclaimed in admiration, "Whose skill is this? This braised pig's trotter is absolutely delicious! It doesn't have that gamey smell of pig; instead, it has a spicy and numbing flavor. But we don't have any chili peppers right now. Who made this? I'll reward them handsomely!"
"Grand Tutor, Grand Tutor, please eat as much as you like. As for who the chef is, why do you care? If you want to eat here in the future, just come to my residence. I guarantee I'll prepare big pig's trotters for you every meal!"
Hu Hai was very extravagant. He had no appetite at all. Instead, he was chatting and laughing with his lackeys as they watched Li Lin wolf down his meal.
That kind of presence.
They ate with gusto, as if they were prisoners who had been held captive for hundreds of years.
This is actually related to Li Lin's exhaustion throughout the day.
I slept all afternoon, and when I woke up, my stomach was already growling with hunger.
Someone is treating us to a meal right now.
He naturally didn't need to be too polite. Looking at the main dishes on the table, he mustered all his strength and kept stuffing them into his mouth.
This prevented Hu Hai and others from even having the opportunity to speak with him.
They could only watch helplessly as he devoured all the food on the table like a whirlwind.
"Grand Tutor, you have quite an appetite!"
"This humble general thought he was already quite big of a eater, able to consume at most three large dou of rice in one meal. I never imagined that Your Excellency's appetite would surpass that!"
Wang Li, who was sitting next to him, was truly stunned by the way Li Lin ate.
to be honest.
He was a soldier, and every day he marched, fought, and trained, which was too physically demanding. In addition, the food in ancient times was not very oily, so the energy he provided was quickly depleted.
Therefore, soldiers, especially generals, have an enormous appetite.
The story of Lian Po, despite his old age, still being able to eat three dou of rice is by no means fictional.
However, Li Lin's appetite today is quite remarkable.
Even Wang Li, who usually eats around one or two dou (a unit of dry measure), was shocked.
"Oh dear, you all don't know this, but my wife is ruthless and vicious. I've been working hard all morning on the matter of the Great Qin State's bank, but when I got home at noon, before I even had lunch, my wife... Sigh, it's all tears when I talk about it!"
As Li Lin spoke, she looked at the men present with a wronged expression.
It seems every family has its own troubles.
"Prime Minister, I'm many years older than you, so I've been through a lot. Sometimes, you shouldn't be so stubborn. If things aren't going well at home, then find someone else. With your current prestige, Prime Minister, I'm sure His Majesty wouldn't object to your divorce from the Princess!"
"Yes, Your Excellency, the princess is so fierce!"
"Prime Minister, Her Highness the Princess humiliated me so severely this morning! I have never suffered such humiliation in my entire life!"
......
Li Lin sneered inwardly. Sure enough, the invitation to the banquet was a ruse.
No banquet is ever a good banquet.
However, after eating so much, I guess I got my money's worth.
Next.
Isn't it time for a beautiful woman to throw herself into his arms?
This plot.
I think I plotted with Yu Miao when I was at the Yu residence.
Now, things are really messed up; they're going to use the same old tricks on us again.
This gives the impression that Han Xin was outmaneuvered by someone else.
"Ahem, I appreciate your concern, but although that tigress has imposed many restrictions on me, she is actually doing it for my own good. Otherwise, why would she restrain me like this? How could I abandon my wife? I cannot agree with what you all have said!"
Li Lin cupped his hands in greeting, then immediately stood up, preparing to leave.
But he hadn't gone very far.
Linglong then stopped him.
"Prime Minister, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
