Chapter 157 Getting what you want

He and Qiu Guangri are also highly bound by interests. If Qiu Guangri is really going to fall this time, it will be the end for him as the commander-in-chief of the army.

Therefore, if Qiu Yi could really resolve the matter properly, he would have no choice but to reluctantly give up his position.

Qiu Guangri had also comforted him just now. Although he asked him to give up his position, he promised to give him the position of deputy general manager.

The official rank was reduced by half a level, but the treatment and actual power he enjoyed did not decrease.

In other words, even if Qiu Yi succeeds in taking the position of military commander, he will only have a position but no power.

Qiu Yi knew this without asking.

He knew that his father would definitely play this trick with him, so he deliberately stayed behind and colluded with Lin Yun.

"Dad, my son finally lived up to his mission this time and completed the task you assigned him!"

Qiu Yi clasped his fists and smiled.

"Okay! Well done!! Son, you have made great achievements this time!! So what does Lin Yun say? How do you plan to operate?"

Qiu Guangri's old eyes sparkled, and those who didn't know it thought he was about to become a spirit.

It could be said that this was the best news he heard all day, and also the most helpless news.

"He, Lin Yun, has never admitted to leaking secrets to the imperial envoy! My son also knows the priorities. Now is not the time to shirk responsibility, so I will no longer pursue the matter and let him persuade the imperial envoy!"

Chang Yufeng immediately asked: "Did he agree?"

Qiu Yi nodded solemnly.

San Yufeng suddenly looked at Qiu Guangri, and Qiu Guangri also happened to look at him. The two looked at each other and understood everything in an instant.

Qiu Guangri sighed: "This boy has indeed formed an alliance with the imperial envoy!"

"Dad, why are you so sure?"

"Do you even need to ask? If he has nothing to do with Cui Mingchong, why does he have the confidence to help persuade him? Since he dares to agree, what does it mean, don't you understand?"

Qiu Guangri looked like he had seen through everything.

How could Qiu Yi not understand? He was just pretending to be stupid.

He pretended to be suddenly enlightened, nodded and said: "That's it! Dad, if you say it like this, isn't Lin Yun going to step on top of our heads?"

Chang Yufeng smiled bitterly and said: "Eldest Master Mingjian! However, there is nothing we can do about it! Even if we don't take any action this time, we can't stop Lin Yun from getting together with the imperial envoy! He will still step on our heads! "

Qiu Guangri also knew it well. Although he was angry, he was more helpless.

At this time, Wei De, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said: "May I ask the eldest son, since Lin Yun has promised to help, has he said how to implement it? After all, the imperial envoy has returned to the capital. Counting the time, he should be arriving in the capital soon!"

Wei De is a practical person. Although he is not as calculating as Qiu Guangri and San Yufeng, he can often get to the crux of the problem every time he speaks.

Qiu Yi shook his head and said: "I don't know about that! Lin Yun once promised me that he would handle this matter and I guarantee there will be no problems! Besides, we can only rely on Lin Yun now!"

In his opinion, Wei De was deliberately causing trouble for him.

Qiu Guangri saw their expressions clearly, but none of them were convinced by the other, so they immediately reconciled and said: "Okay! Since Lin Yun agreed! Then let's wait for the news!"

"That's right! But adults must also be prepared. If Lin Yun dares to play tricks on us, immediately report everything about him to the Lin family!"

San Yufeng added.

Qiu Guangri nodded solemnly, and he could tell that Lin Yun was really afraid that he would tell the Lin family about Niubei Village.

Although the assassination of the imperial envoy ended in failure, it also made him aware of Lin Yun's weakness. As long as he can control Lin Yun, he has everything.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Qiu Guangri's lips.

The three people present looked at each other, not understanding what Qiu Guangri was laughing at.

However, it no longer matters what they are laughing at, what matters is that they can get the results they want.

At this time, Qiu Yi said: "Dad, my child has kept his promise and completed this matter! It's time for you to fulfill our previous agreement!"

Qiu Guangri nodded and suddenly looked at Wei De who was sitting beside him.

Wei De sighed quietly. Although he felt unhappy, he still took out the military talisman from his arms, put it on the table and pushed it hard. The military talisman was drawn directly in front of Qiu Yi.

The military talisman is a symbol of power. Only by obtaining the military talisman can he truly deserve his title as the commander-in-chief of military affairs.

Qiu Yi took the military talisman with a smile.

This soldier talisman is made of pure gold, with a word "soldier" engraved on the front and a python totem on the back. It looks mighty and domineering.

Qiu Guangri said in a deep voice: "Son, the position of General Manager of Soldiers and Horses is up to you, but... I also have a requirement as a father, that is, Wei De must be the Deputy General Manager. Don't resist, just as you are now, even if Even if you get the military talisman, your troops may not be willing to accept your orders!"

Qiu Yi nodded with a smile and said, "Yes! I know that the troops under the control of General Manager Wei De are extremely capable and loyal. If he were to abdicate directly in favor of someone more powerful, it would definitely embarrass his son when he leads the army!"

"Well, it's good if you understand this!"

Qiu Guangri was satisfied.

At this time, Wei De stood up, bowed to Qiu Yi, and said: "The last general, Wei De, has met the steward!!"

According to the rules, since Qiu Yi has become the commander-in-chief of troops and horses, as a deputy general, he naturally has to worship the general.

Qiu Yi stood up quickly, helped him up, and said with a smile: "Mr. Wei, you're welcome! Can you take me to the barracks to order troops and pay homage to the general?"

Without saying a word, Wei De directly made a gesture of invitation.

Qiu Yi smiled happily, turned and left.

Wei De greeted Qiu Guangri again with a fist, and then left.

After bidding farewell to the two of them, Qiu Guangri frowned and said, "Master, do you think Wei De will hate me?"

This time he gave his son the position of military commander, which was indeed an act of using power for personal gain.

The leader of the army is the most central figure in power. Once something goes wrong, he, the governor of Yucheng, will not be able to sit firmly.

Chang Yufeng smiled and said: "Sir, what if Mr. Wei is dissatisfied? We have to think about the overall situation. If Wei De still has a sense of the overall situation, he won't be angry! Besides, he should be able to see that Sir still values ​​him. Yes, giving the position of Commander-in-Chief of Soldiers and Horses to the Eldest Young Master is nothing more than a temporary measure!"

Qiu Guangri nodded thoughtfully.

……

Late at night, the Prince's Mansion in Yucheng.

Wang Siyi was sitting alone in the pavilion in the courtyard. She looked up at the moon. Under the moonlight, she looked like a fairy in the moon. It was so beautiful that it made your heart tremble, but she was still thinking about what happened during the day.

Especially the very explicit words Sun Xuemeng said to her later made her fall into a deep conflict.

As the ancients said, heroes are saddened by beauty, but beauties also love heroes.

Lin Yun's performance today left a deep mark in her heart.
