Chapter 348 The Agreement between the King and his Minister
  Lin Yun nodded and said: "Your Majesty should have heard Master Cui say that Cao Min was the bastard of the Lin family, but now he is just an untouchable. Therefore, I want to personally bring down the Lin family! Just rely on my own strength! If the emperor agrees with Cao Min's As long as I can help you at a critical moment, ordinary people will be satisfied!"

The emperor stared at him with a complicated expression and said: "I have heard about your grievances with the Lin family! However, I am not discouraging you! With the little power you have developed in Yucheng and Haocheng, you want to fight with the vassal king The Lin family's confrontation will undoubtedly shake the tree! Do you really understand the Lin family's background?"

"I know how powerful the Lin family is! But the grassroots people just refuse to accept it. The less others think highly of the grassroots people, the more the grassroots people will do something else! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

The emperor smiled bitterly and said: "That's all! You are indeed a man who does great things, and he is very courageous! I won't embarrass you! However, there is one thing I still need you to answer!"

Lin Yun was shocked. It must be unusual for the emperor to ask such serious questions.

"Your Majesty, just ask!"

"Okay! I heard that you have developed a new type of weapon that can pierce an enemy with a hundred steps! It is extremely powerful, but is it true?"

Lin Yunyi frowned and secretly scolded Cui Ming for being quick with his words.

This matter should be a secret between him and Cui Mingchong.

How well I kept myself secret in Fengyang County, even under the eyes of the Lin family, I didn't reveal anything.

Even Lin Zixiang, who had dealt with him, did not dare to leak it.

But in the end, the emperor found out.

When the emperor saw Lin Yun's expression, he knew the answer in his heart and said with a smile: "It seems that what Ji Aiqing said is true!"

Lin Yun nodded quickly and said, "It's true!! The biggest hobby of ordinary people is to invent and create some novel things to make His Majesty laugh!"

"A novelty? You are really humble. I have already seen the power of that bamboo gun. It is indeed very powerful! I guess if you want to fight against the Lin family on your own, you will rely on this bamboo gun, right?"

Lin Yun nodded awkwardly.

The emperor is such a person, he is the supreme being. He has to balance the ministers around him all day long. In terms of cunning, it is estimated that all the civil and military officials in the dynasty are not as good as him.

Therefore, Lin Yun was not surprised that the emperor could guess it.

"This bamboo gun is indeed powerful enough. If used properly, it can defeat one against ten, no matter what! So, you secretly formed a private army in Niubei Village, right?"

Lin Yun looked shocked and said quickly: "The common people are guilty!!"

The emperor stood up and walked towards the door of the palace, with his back to him, and pressed heavily on the edge of the door with one hand, saying in a deep voice: "I forgive you for your innocence!! Although your actions did cross the line! But because of your treatment of me, Since I am still loyal to you, I won’t argue with you! However, you must agree to one condition!!"

As he spoke, the emperor suddenly turned around and looked at him, a pair of dragon eyes oozing with majesty.

Lin Yun probably guessed what it was about, and said in a deep voice: "As long as ordinary people can do it, I will definitely agree to it!"

"Okay, what I want is your words! I will give you one year to build a thousand-man cavalry for me, which must be equipped with the bamboo guns you developed! By then, all these people can be included in the imperial court, and it will be up to you How about becoming the general of Zhenyuan?"

The emperor is so shrewd. He knows Lin Yun's thoughts and is extremely ambitious. If such a person is not reused, it will definitely be a waste of resources.

Moreover, it will also make him have trouble sleeping and eating.

Lin Yun was completely dumbfounded. He thought the emperor just wanted him to help forge a batch of guns to expand the army, but he didn't expect that the emperor had such a big appetite that he actually wanted to eat all the private troops he had cultivated.

The emperor smiled slightly and said, "What? Are you reluctant to part with it?"

Lin Yun smiled bitterly and said: "No...it is a blessing for the common people and the soldiers under his command to be recognized by His Majesty! It's just a bit unbelievable!"

"Okay! I won't say any more nonsense! If you agree, then everything will go according to plan! I will secretly prepare a decree to help you defeat the Lin family!"

Now that things have happened, Lin Yun also understands that he absolutely cannot refuse. Once he refuses, he may really be unable to leave the capital this time.

From the emperor's perspective, his existence has seriously affected the peace and balance of the Daduan Dynasty.

If he can join, everyone will be happy, but if he resists, the consequences will be disastrous. "The common people are willing to submit to Your Majesty!! And they swear that the Lin family will never be destroyed, and the common people are willing to accept any punishment from Your Majesty!"

What he said was equivalent to submitting a military order to the emperor.

"Then it's a deal!! In addition, you don't have to call yourself a commoner in the future. You are a talented person from my Daduan Dynasty. I allow you to call yourself sir! It's an agreement between our kings and ministers! You can't talk to any outsiders. !”

Lin Yun was secretly happy, it seemed that the emperor wanted to make friends with him.

Isn't this what he wants most?

Once he gains the emperor's trust, will Cui Mingchong still be considered a piece of shit?
  When the time comes, he will have countless ways to deal with Cui Mingchong.

"According to the order!!"

The emperor nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay! That's it for today, I will take the first step! When I meet you, you are not allowed to tell anyone! Especially Cui Mingchong, don't mention even a word! Otherwise, I will kill you about you!"

"Your Majesty's words, I will bear them in mind! I will never forget them!"

"Um!!"

The emperor then walked away.

Lin Yun walked to the entrance of the palace, watched the emperor leading a group of eunuchs away, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he could tell that although the emperor favored Cui Mingchong, he didn't seem to trust him.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have said those profound words in the end.

Of course, from the emperor's point of view, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are just ministers, which cannot be fully believed.

Lin Yun murmured: "Cui Mingchong, let me see what you can do to fight me in the future!!"

……

On the other side, Ye Wanqing came to the eldest sister's mansion.

The two sisters have not seen each other for more than two years.

Therefore, Ye Wanqing was somewhat excited at the moment.

She has had a very good relationship with her sister since she was a child, and it can be said that they are inseparable.

But since my sister got married, there has been less contact between them.

Of course, it is also related to Ye Wanqing's entry into the National Academy of Sciences.

He was very busy with official duties all day long, and the National Academy of Sciences prohibited the leaking of official duties.

As a result, she became taciturn at home.

His parents never asked him about his time in the National Academy of Sciences.

It is precisely because of this that Ye Wanqing's old father Ye Ruhui didn't even know that the incident happened. By the time he learned about it, it was too late.

Here, Ye Wanqing walked up the steps and gently knocked on the closed red door.

Although her brother-in-law's family is not considered a big family in the capital, it is still a third-class bodyguard and a fifth-rank official.

In addition, he also had a father-in-law who was an imperial censor at the time. Although he lived a poor life, he was free from disasters and no one dared to mess with him.
