Happy Emperor

Chapter 63: Banquet for the Prince's Palace

"Your Majesty, please investigate thoroughly. Our king has never harbored any intention of rebellion."

Seeing that Emperor Li did not outright accuse Prince Pingdong of treason, Zhen Niumeng had no choice but to obey and said, "My king has already prepared this month's tax silver and will hand it over to the Ministry of Revenue after the morning court session."

"What about you?"

Lin Tian glanced at the palace officials and asked in a cold voice.

"My king has already sent the silver to Shengjing, and he will definitely hand it over in full."

Without a leader, all the chief officials in the royal palace followed suit.

In fact, the news of this incident was never notified to the local princes.

Ancient times were not like modern times, where effective communication could be achieved with just a phone call.

It would probably take them a month or even longer to get a reply from the prince.

The reason they cooperated with Zhen Niu Meng this time was because Zhen Niu Meng gave them benefits.

Moreover, Zhen Niumeng represents King Pingdong, and they cannot afford to offend him.

Besides, this matter itself is also beneficial to them.

As long as someone dares to be the first to not pay the money, they will naturally try it.

If they succeed, the vassal kings they belong to will definitely reward them. Even if they fail, they will not suffer any loss.

I heard that a group of royal officials were scrambling to pay taxes.

An Bilie and other court officials all had smiles on their faces.

Especially the Minister of Revenue Duan Chengming, he let out a long breath.

For so many days, every time he sent people to collect taxes, he was repeatedly frustrated.

I don’t know how to explain this to Emperor Li.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Emperor Li returned to Shengjing, he was able to make these usually arrogant palace chief officials obey him.

What a joy.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, the palace officials!"

Lin Tian smiled and said in a deep voice, "Since I ascended the throne, I have not yet had a detailed discussion with the chief officials of the royal palaces in various places."

"I would like to take this opportunity today to host a banquet for you all at the Misty Rain Pavilion tonight. You must be present."

After hearing this, all the chief secretaries were stunned.

They all knew that Yanyu Pavilion was the largest brothel in Shengjing. There were hundreds, if not thousands, of girls there.

Due to the situation between the imperial power of Daxia and the vassal kings, none of their royal palace chiefs brought their families to Shengjing.

Therefore, the Misty Rain Pavilion became a place where they could solve their daily problems.

However, they always go there secretly, and sometimes they even arrange door-to-door service.

Because Daxia law clearly stipulates that court officials cannot buy "technical" services, but they can sell "technology".

Now that the emperor has given the order, we can be considered to be acting in accordance with his orders.

This Emperor Li is indeed a tyrant!

Throughout the dynasties, has there ever been an emperor who arranged for group prostitution?

......

After the court meeting, the chief secretaries of the royal palaces quickly sent people to deliver the tax silver to the Ministry of Revenue.

Some lustful palace officials even began to look forward to the evening activities.

I secretly decided in my heart that I must call out the girl who I usually don’t want to spend money on.

Let them know what it means to be still sharp.

At the same time, in the imperial study of the palace.

Huang Tianba stood beside Lin Tian with an excited look on his face.

"Your Majesty, I can drink a lot. You must take me with you tonight."

An Bilie was also eager to try, and wanted to speak several times but did not dare to.

He is relatively older than Emperor Li.

Every time the emperor wanted to trick someone, the corners of his mouth would rise slightly and he would look at him with a wicked smile.

This time, Emperor Li looked at the two of them with the same expression.

"I will take you there. But..."

Lin Tian smiled evilly and said, "But you have to find something good for me."

"Your Majesty, if you can take me there, I can get you anything you want."

Huang Tianba's face was filled with excitement as he asked, "This time shouldn't count as the monthly period that Your Majesty promised me, right?"

"It doesn't count!"

"Have you ever let a man eat you and then... you know what will happen?" Lin Tian said in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, can't you?"

"I don't need that thing, my spear is..."

Huang Tianba looked at the emperor in shock.

"You can't do it, your whole family can't do it!"

This sentence is equivalent to touching the bottom line of all men, including Lin Tian.

"What I want is the kind of medicine that makes men unable to control their impulses after taking it!"

Lin Tian had no choice but to speak more bluntly.

"No one would normally take that kind of drug when they go there, except for drugs that last longer and store more energy, right?"

Huang Tianba secretly guessed what the emperor was thinking.

Suddenly a possibility occurred to him.

"Your Majesty, I'd better not go tonight."

Huang Tianba took a few steps back, looking at Lin Tian with an evasive look.

When Lin Tian saw Huang Tianba's expression, he was stunned at first, then he reacted.

Instant rage.

"I only like men, no, I only like women."

"Your Majesty, did you let something slip?"

Huang Tianba took a few steps back and said, "I have hemorrhoids and cannot..."

Lin Tian was so overwhelmed by Huang Tian's dominance that he was speechless for a moment.

"No wonder the emperor wasn't moved by a beauty like Ouyang Qing. It turns out they're a perfect match."

Huang Tianba became more certain of his idea.

"Your Majesty, are you trying to crack down on those palace officials?"

Although An Bilie is not smart, he seems to be a little stronger than Huang Tianba.

"Yes!"

Lin Tian didn't hide it either.

The main thing is that if he doesn't explain it, the misunderstanding that he is gay will be deeply imprinted in Huang Tianba's mind.

"Your Majesty, why didn't you say so earlier? Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Huang Tianba finally understood the emperor's intention and approached Lin Tian with a playful smile.

"I know of a medicine called the Invincible Overlord Spear."

"This medicine is colorless and odorless and has a strong effect. Just one drop will make a man unable to stop in a matter of moments."

Huang Tianba smiled lewdly, "By then, I'm afraid any female will be exceptionally beautiful in his eyes."

"I once saw a mouse take this medicine and then run towards a female cat..."

"Is the monitor lizard from Third Brother's house okay?" Lin Tian blurted out.

"what?"

Huang Tianba and An Bilie were both stunned when they heard this.

"The giant lizard your majesty is referring to should be a pig snake. But what is the third brother?"

Huang Tianba asked in confusion.

"Third brother is a piece of shit!"

Lin Tian didn't need to explain, and said in a deep voice: "Can you get this medicine?"

"Of course, I have an old friend who specializes in developing this kind of medicine, and he lives in Shengjing."

Huang Tianba looked very proud.

"Damn, this guy is talented and even knows pharmacology."

Lin Tian stared at Huang Tianba with wide eyes, "You bring him and the medicine into the palace."

"Your Majesty, are you going to kill my old friend?"

Huang Tianba felt like he had said too much and actually betrayed his friend.

The development and sale of this kind of drug is strictly prohibited in Daxia. Once discovered, it is a capital crime.

"How can I kill such a talent?"

Lin Tian hurriedly explained: "I want to make use of this person, so don't worry and bring him here."

Huang Tianba then left the palace in doubt.

"An Bilie, go to Yanyu Pavilion and find a room and reserve some good food and wine."

"Do you need to prepare a woman?"

An Bilie asked directly.

"No, I don't have the money to pay them for prostitution!"

Lin Tian gave a wicked smile.
