Why is he smiling, as if he's experienced some great joy?
Could it be that this person is merely a fraud, and all his fame is due to his father?
And he himself was nothing more than a cowardly and incompetent person.
That would be good, so she wouldn't have to worry.
Even if he could withstand the physical strain of being given the land of Shu, the barbarians whose kingdom was destroyed by his father would not spare him.
Thinking of this, the Empress laughed loudly, "Very good, today I will bestow the land of Shu upon you and appoint you as the King of Shu."
She paused for a moment, then asked, "Minister Lin, how many soldiers do you think should accompany you?"
Before Lin Mo could answer, Li Hu started acting up again: "Your Majesty, the Shu region is now peaceful and stable, and the King of Shu is the descendant of the Great Xia's military god. A thousand soldiers are enough!"
Why don't you say my solo journey of a thousand miles is even more enjoyable? Lin Mo sneered.
Such remarks naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of other ministers. "General Li, you are mistaken. A thousand soldiers are simply not enough! The land of Shu is barren and rife with bandits. I believe we need at least ten thousand!"
"Tens of thousands of men? Are they going to take up their fiefdoms or go to war?" Li Hu said with a look of disdain. "Besides, you are underestimating the King of Shu too much. With the King of Shu's abilities, let alone a thousand, even three hundred elite soldiers wouldn't be enough to deal with the bandits in Shu!"
"They've even learned to flatter to death," Lin Mo thought to himself.
However, the fact that you dared to say such things in front of the Empress clearly indicates that a shady deal has been struck.
Further discussion is pointless!
Moreover, even if I win the argument now with my silver tongue, the Empress might assign me some old, weak, sick, or disabled people, and perhaps even some imperial spies to monitor my every move.
hehe!
So Lin Mo said, "General Li is right. Like father, like son. How can I disgrace my father? I don't need three thousand. I can travel a thousand miles alone with just a spear and recruit the local people to train them into a fierce and powerful army."
Your Majesty need not worry.
When speaking, he can change his tone to that of a reckless and ignorant youth.
When Li Hu heard this, he almost burst out laughing.
You get so arrogant just because someone flatters you a few times; you're incredibly stupid.
Go to Sichuan all by himself?
If three of them don't die, I'll admit defeat!
The empress on the dragon throne had a strange expression on her face; she had an indescribable feeling.
How could the son of Lin Wenzhong, a marshal with both literary and military talents, be so stupid?
Perhaps he realized I would send spies to monitor him, so he's using this as a pretext to advance?
Thinking of this, Wei Maozhen said, "Very well, since you have such courage, I admire you greatly! Minister Lin, set off with your family tomorrow. As for all the soldiers in your household, go to the border and guard the frontier for my Great Xia!"
Upon hearing this, the Minister of Revenue felt a chill run down his spine. "How ruthless!"
They really didn't give us a single soldier?
The land of Shu is barren, and there are bandits and outlaws causing trouble. Even if Lin Wenzhong crawled out of his coffin, he wouldn't dare to go there alone.
He glanced at Lin Mo instinctively, "You...you're too impulsive!"
