Chapter 512 A complete showdown, the army attacks

At this moment, it was really hard for the Eight Wise Kings to fall out in front of each other, otherwise Lin Yun would be forced to worry and his life would be at risk, so he persuaded him like this.

Lin Yun said: "Listen to what the Eighth Prince wants, the Emperor will not accept it?"

"Nonsense! Your Majesty's treatment of these vassal kings with different surnames has become unbearable! If there is still room for relaxation, do you think the Emperor will still reuse you?"

Lin Yun nodded and said: "It makes sense! Can the Eighth Prince listen to my thoughts first and then make a decision?"

"Okay, you can say it! I must listen carefully!"

Lin Yun sat directly on the Taishi chair next to him, poured a cup of tea, and said: "The emperor wants to reduce the vassalage, just to consolidate the imperial power and take back all the power that Taizu had dispersed back then! Right?"

The Eight Wise Kings nodded and said: "That's right! When Taizu was still alive, these vassal kings with different surnames still knew how to keep it in check, but now they have begun to blatantly resist the decree! Even the envoys they sent once appeared in front of Manchu officials. In front of them, they directly threatened the emperor that if they did not meet their demands, they would no longer obey the emperor's will and dare to say such treasonous remarks. It can be seen that these vassal kings with different surnames have long been thinking of rebelling, but no one wants to be the first Just a standout!"

Lin Yun took a sip of tea, leaned forward slightly, and said in a deep voice: "If the emperor is willing to allow me to retain the Lin family's organization, then I will lead the Lin family and assist the emperor to eliminate all the vassal princes! The eighth prince should know that I, Lin Yun, In terms of ability, I used to only rely on a small Niubei Village to build my current foundation. If I get the full support of the entire Fengyang County..."

The Eight Sage King took a deep breath and completely understood Lin Yun's thoughts.

This is equivalent to posing a multiple-choice question to the emperor.

Choosing to believe in Lin Yun, he indeed has the ability to use the powerful resources of the Lin family to eliminate and consume various vassal kings and help the Li family strengthen centralization of power.

But what if Lin Yun, like other vassal kings, wants to rebel?

His strength will definitely far exceed that of all the vassal kings. When the time comes, he can easily overthrow the Li family's empire with any excuse.

Lin Yun looked at the silent Eight Wise Kings, knelt on one knee on the ground, clasped his fists and said: "Eighth Prince, I, Lin Yun, have always been loyal to the court and the emperor. After this battle, I don't want anything, as long as Fengyang County! When the time comes, I will help the emperor consolidate his power! Finally, I can stay in the capital and let my eighth brother Lin Xuan become the new king of the Lin family!"

The Eight Sage King looked at him with a complicated expression. He really wanted to kill Lin Yun with one knife, but he knew that he could not be Lin Yun's opponent.

As long as he has murderous intentions, Lin Yun will definitely use the weapons on his body to kill him.

After thinking about it, the Eight Wise Kings sighed again, bent down and helped Lin Yun up.

"Mr. Lin, I have no problem with the request you made, but I still have to listen to the emperor's wishes! Otherwise, you can lead your troops to Yulin City to attack the city first! I will return to the capital immediately and report to the emperor. No matter what the outcome is, I will bring the Emperor’s will and give you an explanation!”

Lin Yun hesitated for a moment, then suddenly grinned: "Okay, then it's the eighth prince's turn!"

He could more or less guess the worries in the heart of the Eight Wise Kings, but it didn't matter. The initiative was now in his hands, and the Lin family was already in his pocket. If the court didn't want to lose everything, it would have to meet his conditions.

The Eight Wise Kings nodded and made a gesture of invitation.

Seeing Lin Yun disappear at the door, he couldn't hold back anymore and punched the table hard, causing the tea bowl on the table to clatter to the floor.

"Lin Yun, you are so brave! You actually dare to threaten the imperial court at this juncture!"

At this time, Qi Rui heard the noise and rushed over immediately. Looking at the mess on the ground, he frowned and said, "Eighth Prince, what's going on?"

The Eighth Sage King suddenly looked at him and said: "Prepare your horses, let's go back to the capital! Then Lin Yun plans to fight to the death with King Fengyang!"

Qi Rui smiled bitterly and said: "This is a good thing! Why is the Eighth Prince so angry?"

"Hmph, a good thing! What a good thing! Then Lin Yun just said that he wants to arrange for a person named Lin Xuan to succeed Lin Hetu and become the next generation of Fengyang King! Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?" Qi Rui was completely dumbfounded. He murmured: "What does Mr. Lin want to do? Could it be..."

The Eight Wise Kings sighed: "It's useless to talk more now, let's go back to Beijing!"

He doesn't want to stay for a moment now, and he doesn't even care whether the Lin family of the feudal lord can be wiped out.

He was afraid that Lin Yun would suddenly turn against him or use a dark weapon in secret, and then the Eight Wise Kings would die unjustly.

The court had always been concerned about the secret weapon in Lin Yun's hands, but they did not expect that Lin Yun was actually concerned about the entire land of Fengyang County.

It can be said that if Lin Yun captured Yulin City in one go, he could immediately claim the throne and give the court almost no time to react.

Therefore, in this case, the Eight Wise Kings must return to Beijing to see how Lin Yun will react afterwards, which is crucial to the court's next decision.

Here, Lin Yun rode his horse directly out of the city. From a distance, he saw 20,000 garrison troops ready to go. The soldiers at the forefront were all wearing silver helmets and silver armor and equipped with bamboo guns, which the Eight Wise Kings had previously spent 100,000 taels of silver to purchase.

Wang Chuanzhong, dressed as a general, was standing on a high platform doing pre-battle mobilization. When he saw Lin Yun coming on horseback, he immediately got down from the high platform, knelt down and clasped his fists and said: "Master, the 20,000 garrison troops in Yucheng have been assembled. Please give me a lecture!" "

Lin Yun glanced at the audience and said loudly: "It is said that raising an army takes a thousand days to use it for a while. As the court's garrison stationed in Fengyang County, your duty is to protect your family and country. The time has come when the court needs your help! At the same time, , is also an opportunity for you to make contributions. I don’t want to say any more, just show your blood and go out with me! When Yulin City is destroyed, the court will definitely reward you greatly!"

"Master Lin is mighty..."

For a time, the morale of the 20,000 garrison troops increased greatly, their shouts shook the sky, everyone's eyes widened with anger, they clenched their weapons and prepared for a big battle.

Wang Chuanzhong looked at the soldiers behind him and was deeply affected. He was even more deeply shocked by Lin Yun's words.

Lin Yun shouted: "Wang Chuanzhong listens to the order. I appoint you as the supreme commander of the 20,000 garrison. You will go out immediately to fight without any mistakes!"

"Your Majesty, take your orders!"

Wang Chuanzhong immediately got on his horse and left with the 20,000 garrison in person.

Lin Yun saw this, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth unconsciously.

He was only one step away from success. Although he had just angered the Eight Wise Kings, he didn't care at all.

As long as he completely controls Fengyang County, he will not have to worry about the emperor killing the donkey in the future.

Moreover, although it was risky for him to do so, he was still somewhat certain. Unless the emperor was crazy, even if he hated himself to the core, he would have no choice but to agree to his conditions in the end.

Once Lin Yun obtains the entire Fengyang County, even if he does not become king, he will still be able to gain huge political capital in the capital.

When the time comes, no matter who the prince or the prime minister is, you have to think carefully about moving him.
