Chapter 371: Old and cunning, seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune

Not only Lin Yun understood this truth, but Li Qingyue also knew it clearly.

However, at the feet of the emperor in the imperial city, many things cannot be done openly, especially things that offend others. Even if they are done, they must be done in secret.

Therefore, Li Qingyue smiled and said: "Okay, then it's a deal!!" After saying that, she looked at Lin Yun again, looked him up and down, as if she wanted to completely remember his appearance, and finally left.

And Lin Yun understood the meaning of the little princess's meaningful look, which was full of warning.

It seemed to be telling him not to chew his tongue.

The arrival of the little princess is like a farce, it goes away as quickly as it comes.

Maybe if the Qi family and his son were away, she could chat with Lin Yun for a while longer.

But facing Qi Changyun, the person closest to the emperor's brother, she really didn't have the courage.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was a bit awkward.

Lin Yun coughed lightly and said, "By the way, where did you talk about just now?"

Qi Changyun put down the teacup in his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, Mr. Lin, we have finished talking about what we should talk about! However, I am really curious, what is going on between you and this girl Qingyue? Could it be..."

He deliberately played it off, with a playful look on his face, which made Lin Yun want to punch him in the face.

The corners of Lin Yun's mouth twitched and he said: "What could it be? Please stop guessing! Nothing really happened between me and the little princess! It's just that I was wandering outside with my wife just now and passed by a fur store. This is how we met the little princess! So, we are innocent!!"

Looking at Lin Yun's increasingly dark explanation, Qi Changyun didn't believe it at all, and nodded with a smile: "That's all! Since Mr. Lin can't trust the old man, then let's not talk about it!! Ruier, let's go!! It's getting late! Affect Mr. Lin to rest!!"

"Yes, Dad!!" Qi Rui quickly followed.

Then he clasped his fists at Lin Yun and said: "Master Lin, since you are leaving tomorrow, I won't send you to Xiaguan! After a while, Xiaguan will go to Yucheng, let's have a drink and have fun again!!"

Lin Yun also cupped his fists in greeting and said with a smile: "Okay! From now on, whether it is Yucheng, Haocheng, or even my hometown Niubei Village, the Qi family will always be welcome to visit!!"

"With Mr. Lin's words, I can rest assured!! I'm leaving!!"

Lin Yun watched the father and son leave, feeling filled with emotion.

When I came to Beijing this time, I obviously just wanted to find customers for the next sale of minerals, but I never expected that not only would I make friends with this family, but I would also be able to meet the emperor.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is definitely an incredible opportunity.

Ordinary people, not to mention the emperor, but also the high officials in the court, it is a great blessing.

However, although Lin Yun was pleasantly surprised, he was not surprised.

With his ability, sooner or later, he will alarm the emperor and gain some fame.

On the other side, Qi Rui left Yun Mansion with his father.

It's rare for father and son to walk on the street so relaxedly.

At this time, Qi Changyun glanced at him and said, "Rui'er, what do you think of Lin Yun?" Qi Rui was shocked, knowing that his father was going to test him again.

He quickly said: "Master Lin is brave, resourceful and witty! Moreover, he gave me the feeling that he was covered with a layer of mystery. It seemed that I had figured out his true identity, but afterwards I felt that he was still hiding something. He has learned more secrets, as if he always has endless cards in his hand!"

Qi Changyun nodded and said: "Yes, it seems that your boy is careful this time! My father tells you from his twenty years of experience as an official in the court, this Lin Yun is absolutely unfathomable! What you said is all about him His character and ability, but my intuition tells me that he is a very ambitious person!"

"Does the father want the child to have a deep friendship with him, or does he want to keep a distance and draw a clear line?"

"Well...actually, now is not the time to make a final judgment! Rui'er, you have to understand that the reason why dad has achieved today's status and gained the emperor's trust is because he made the most important choice in his life! "

"Dad, are you talking about the coup before the emperor ascended the throne?"

At that time, the battle to seize the throne took place in the Daduan Dynasty, which was tragic.

But all the officials involved will not end well.

It can be as small as a minor official in the six ministries, or as large as a military official or a minister who joins the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister.

In the end, the current emperor won the throne, but it was also a critical moment. Qi Changyun directly led the 30,000 elite Nine Gate Infantry Army and the three military camps outside the capital with a total of 100,000 troops, and finally stabilized the situation and took control of the capital.

Qi Changyun still shudders when he thinks about what happened that day.

"That's right!! It was that time and that coup that established my Qi family's transcendent status in the Daduan Dynasty! And this Lin Yun is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for my Qi family!!"

Qi Rui asked quickly: "Please tell me more clearly, dad, how should the child do it?"

"From tomorrow onwards, you will keep a certain distance from Cui Mingchong! Dad asked you to hang out with him because he had the opportunity to take over Fulin'an's class! But this time the emperor summoned Lin Yun alone, but ignored Cui Mingchong at all. It means that the emperor has begun to guard against him!"

"It can even be said that we are guarding against Fulin'an!!"

As soon as these words came out, Qi Rui took a breath of cold air.

Surprised: "Dad, is this... too exaggerated?" It’s understandable that Long Live Lord is on guard against Cui Mingchong! He did go a bit too far during the last disaster relief work in Haocheng! Kefu Zhongtang was a senior figure in the current dynasty, and like his father, he had the merit of supporting him! ! '

"Idiot, don't you understand? Although there is nothing better than rescuing someone, you must also know that the most ruthless person in the world is the emperor!! Dad is not old yet, at least he can still be in this position I’ll wait for ten years, but what if one day my father makes a mistake? Or if he attracts the emperor’s suspicion, everything my Qi family has now may become a thing of the past!”

"So, you have to learn to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune! It seems that Cui Mingchong's chance of taking over Fulin'an's class has become very slim! If he can't become the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he is almost finished! On the contrary, Lin Yun, the emperor actually I have already made a promise to him, and although I haven’t even written a word yet, this period of time is the best time to win people’s hearts!!”

"Dad, do you want Lin Yun and I to continue to distance ourselves?"

"That's right! Since that coup, the thirty-six vassal kings of the Daduan Dynasty have become the emperor's biggest worry! Therefore, as long as Lin Yun devotes himself to the cause of reducing the vassal, no matter how many wrong things he does, the emperor will I won’t blame him! Instead, I will help him secretly!”

"How is it? You should know how to do it now, right?"

Qi Changyun worked very hard for his son and the entire Qi family.

What he wants is not prosperity for one life, but prosperity for all eternity.
