Chapter 287: Coercion and instigation of rebellion
  Qi Rui dared to say this because he naturally relied on Cui Mingchong, the Minister of Household Affairs.

Moreover, Cui Mingchong, as a popular figure around the current emperor, had long heard the emperor express his thoughts on reducing the vassal vassal.

As a minister, he will naturally keep it in mind. Only if he can share the emperor's worries will he have a future.

Qi Rui is Cui Mingchong's confidant, so he knows more or less.

However, Lin Yun showed his loyalty to the imperial court and developed strong hostility towards the Lin family. How could he miss this kind of opportunity.

"Tch, I'm just being fair. You, the Lin family, are so blind that you abandoned a talent like Young Master Lin, and now you still have the nerve to recruit him? I'm blushing for you!"

"you!!"

Lin Zixiang was furious, looked at Lin Yun, and said: "Lin Yun, you have to think carefully! You do have some strength now, but don't forget that Fengyang County is the territory of the Lin family. Once the senior leaders of the Lin family become serious, it will be uncomfortable in the end. It must be you!! You are just a junior with full potential now, and you are far from reaching the level where you can make a difference!"

Lin Yun didn't want to continue arguing with him on this topic, so he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Lin, can you listen to my thoughts first?"

"Say it!!"

Lin Zixiang also understands that nowadays, everyone is a knife and he is a fish. If Lin Yun is really pushed into a hurry, he will be in trouble today.

"Now, I have controlled the two major cities of Yucheng and Haocheng! Although it is not in the eyes of the Lin family, after all, the territory is large enough and has a certain depth! If the Lin family really wants to take action, they have to weigh it. Besides, as the chief envoy, you, as the chief envoy, Don’t you know what the imperial court is thinking? Once the Lin family takes action against me, it will inevitably cause a chain reaction. At that time, if the imperial court takes the opportunity to take action..."

What Lin Yun said was on point, it was not a threat, but just telling the truth.

Sure enough, Lin Zixiang's expression suddenly changed and he suddenly looked at Qi Rui.

Even though Qi Rui had argued with Lin Yun before until he was blushing and thick-necked, at this critical moment, he was 100% on Lin Yun's side.

He sneered and said, "Why does the chief envoy look at my subordinates?"

Lin Zixiang laughed angrily and said: "Okay, okay! What a Lin Yun, you have hidden the Lin family's secrets this year and colluded with the court. The Lin family underestimated you!"

Lin Yun continued: "In addition, since the words have been made clear, I won't hide my clumsiness. I hope Mr. Lin can see the situation clearly, make a decisive decision, and make the right choice. The only way out is to surrender to the imperial court. As for the vassal king... hum , I didn’t mean to pessimize, the feudal king will eventually become a piece of history!”

Qi Rui's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that Lin Yun would have such a high level of consciousness and be so loyal to the court. This was a great opportunity and a blessing for the Daduan Dynasty.

Lin Zixiang looked at Lin Yun blankly and sneered: "You actually want to instigate rebellion against me?"

Lin Yun smiled and said: "I only agree with one sentence, which is that those who understand current affairs are heroes! I don't believe it. Mr. Lin is willing to fight for a tiger that is already on the way to death!"

In fact, there was no need for Lin Yun to tell him these big principles. As the chief envoy who traveled between the imperial court and the Lin family, Lin Zixiang could see it more clearly than anyone else. He also knew that the imperial court's determination to reduce the vassalage was only a matter of time.

Not only did he know this, but the senior leaders of the Lin family also knew it.

But everyone has a fluke mentality, and since the Lin family is his family after all, he naturally wants to lean against a big tree to enjoy the shade.

But Lin Yun's words also made a bigger hole appear in his already fragile heart.

Looking at Lin Zixiang who was deep in thought, Lin Yun was not in a hurry, but picked up the teapot on the table and poured him a cup of tea himself.

He looked at Qi Rui and said with a smile: "Commander Qi, are you satisfied with your performance?"

Qi Rui praised: "That's right! Mr. Lin knows the general situation so well, his future is limitless! When I return to Beijing, I will definitely report it to Mr. Cui!" In fact, both Lin Yun and Qi Rui understand that this is the general trend, even if If Lin Yun doesn't make his words clear today, one day the court will take action against these vassal kings.

At this time, Lin Zixiang sighed, looked at Lin Yun and said: "Lin Yun, I can pretend that I didn't hear what you said today! I can also turn a blind eye to the things you did in Yucheng, but There is only one condition, and that is to let me go!"

Lin Zixiang is not stupid. He doesn't want to make any decisions until things are clear.

Because in his opinion, now is not the right time, and if he makes the wrong choice, it will be a big deal to lose his head.

Therefore, he wanted to continue to wait and see.

As for the rebellious Lin Yun, he didn't want to provoke him.

Through today's incident, he could see that Lin Yun was not someone to be trifled with.

As for the Lin family, even if they are already dying slowly, as Lin Yun said, there is a saying that a centipeded insect is dead but not stiff. Because of the Lin family's background, if he is really instigated by Lin Yun, then from now on, he will also Live a life of fear.

Qi Rui couldn't help but frown. He was not satisfied with Qi Rui's answer, but he couldn't say anything more and looked at Lin Yun.

Lin Yun showed an intriguing smile, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said: "Mr. Lin, I can agree to let you go, and I won't worry about you going back to report the news, and I can give you time to think about it slowly, but you have to know, A person will make several important choices in his life. If you make the right choice, you will have a bright future, but if you miss it, your life may be over!"

Lin Zixiang nodded solemnly, looking at Lin Yun with very complicated eyes.

In his opinion, Lin Yun was only in his early twenties, and he shouldn't have such deep thoughts and scheming at this age.

But the facts were before him, and he had to admit that the boy in front of him was indeed a figure.

It seemed that he was not forced to switch sides, but his words were heartbreaking, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Lin Zixiang nodded and said: "I understand! Can I leave now?"

Lin Yun made an invitation gesture and said: "Of course! But, Mr. Lin, I will wait for you in Yucheng. I hope that next time we meet again, we can have a good time over wine and chat, instead of fighting like this time!" "

Lin Zixiang looked ugly and did not answer him, but turned and left.

Lin Yun and Qi Rui watched him leave, while Qiu Guangri, who was lying on the ground without anyone paying attention, had already hit the bottom of his heart.

His biggest supporter actually ignored him, which was completely abandoning him.

He couldn't imagine how he would bear the anger from Lin Yun later.

At this time, Qi Rui frowned and said, "Master Lin, are you just going to let him go? Are you really not afraid that he will leak the secret?"

Lin Yun joked: "Commander Qi is also a smart man, don't you understand?"

"What do I understand?" Qi Rui looked confused.

Lin Yun smiled bitterly and said: "Lin Zixiang has clearly begun to waver in his heart, but he still dares not to make a choice. What does this prove?"

"What does it prove? Is he weighing the pros and cons for his own future?"
