Chapter 518 The Emperor’s Conditions

As long as he says a word, he can immediately become the Fengyang King who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. Why should he refuse?

Isn't the temptation great enough?

Only Jiang Kun knew that Lin Yun despised this position at all.

At this time, Lin Yun said: "Lin Zixiang, please summon all the senior leaders of the Lin family to the Elder Hall and briefly explain the situation to them! The most important thing is to appease people's hearts, do you understand?"

Lin Zixiang clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, sir, I'll leave this little matter to my subordinate!"

After that, he turned around and walked towards the Lin family, following Lin Yun's orders.

Lin Yun let out a long breath, looked at Lin Xuan with a smile, and said: "Brother, don't worry! The news of Lin Hetu's suicide will soon reach the court! When the Eight Wise Kings bring the emperor's decree, you can become the king. Got it!"

Lin Xuan smiled bitterly: "Fourteenth Brother, can Brother Yu really become the King of Fengyang? I think the Lin family just supported you, Brother Yu may have a hard time convincing everyone!"

Lin Yun patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, leave this matter to me, and you will definitely gain the support of all the Lin family!"

Lin Xuan looked grateful. He didn't expect that he would get such a generous reward and become the King of Fengyang!

He didn't even dare to dream.

Half a month passed in a flash.

Under Lin Yun's secret control, Yulin City has completely returned to normal.

The entire Fengyang County is prosperous.

The Royal Study Room of the Imperial Palace in Beijing.

The emperor sat in front of the dragon case, looked at the secret fold in his hand expressionlessly, and threw it hard on the table.

"Don't you have anything to say to me?"

At this moment, Meng Yuan, Fulin'an, the Eight Wise Kings and the Five Princes were all silent.

The news that Lin Yun forced Lin Hetu to death and took control of the entire Fengyang County had already spread to every corner of the Daduan Dynasty.

Although he did not claim the title of king, and even wrote about his loyalty to the court and the emperor in the secret book, he did not mention anything about the Lin family, which made the emperor very angry.

The emperor re-appointed Lin Yun in order to eliminate the entire Lin family and make a good start for the elimination of the vassal clan.

But Lin Yun was lucky. Such a sudden incident caught the emperor off guard and he didn't know how to make a decision.

After all, if it is not handled well, Lin Yun may immediately become king and become a serious problem for the court.

But if they directly agreed to Lin Yun's conditions, where would the court's face be? What is the significance of cutting down the vassal vassal?

At this time, the Eighth Sage King cupped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, Lin Yun once told my brother that he hopes to retain the Lin family's structure and then let his brother Lin Xuan become the King of Fengyang. In exchange for the benefits, he himself will come to the capital. And control the entire Lin family and assist the court to eliminate other vassal kings!"

As soon as these words came out, Fulin'an frowned and said: "Your Majesty, I think this son is extremely ambitious and must not be kept! He should be coaxed into the capital and then find a reason to kill him to avoid future troubles! Otherwise, once Fengyang County fell into his hands, and the consequences would be disastrous! Lin Yun was able to leverage the throne of the feudal lord with just a small Niubei Village. If he intends to rebel, he can concentrate all the manpower, material and financial resources of Fengyang County to build weapons. Equipment, when he has soldiers, food, and advanced weapons and equipment, I am afraid that no one in our Daduan Dynasty will be his opponent!" Meng Yuan also agreed: "Your Majesty, although I don't usually deal with Fuzhongtang, I , but this time I agree with Fuzhongtang’s intention! Although Lin Yun is well hidden, I can still feel his ambition, so I can’t continue to use him, let alone let him get his wish!”

The emperor sighed and nodded: "Hey, I understand the truth, but... you all know that Lin Yun is very shrewd. If I refuse intuitively, I may force him to go against the imperial court! Don't forget , Lin Yun is already the actual controller of Fengyang County!"

Fulin'an and Meng Yuan looked at each other and fell silent. In fact, they were complaining to the emperor that Lin Yun should not have been reused before and given him too many opportunities for development, but now it is too late.

Lin Yun forced Lin Hetu to death. Not only did he not destroy the Lin family, he actually defeated the imperial army.

At this time, the fifth prince said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I think that the worries of the two central ministers are simply unfounded! If Lin Yun really wants to rebel, does he need to continue to discuss with the court? Don't forget, although the Lin family has lost Many armies are only injured, but their combat effectiveness is still there! On the contrary, there are tens of thousands of private soldiers under Lin Yun. If they are equipped with those weapons and equipment, let alone the future, even the current court will not be like him Opponent! So the emperor should trust Lin Yun instead of forcing him to take risks! Don’t forget that Lin Yun was forced to rebel against the Lin family in the first place!"

Fulin'an said in a strange tone: "I heard that the Fifth Prince just met with Lin Yun before the battle. It seems that they talked about a lot of things?"

The fifth prince joked: "I know that Fuzhongtang and Lin Yunliangzi are not small, all because of the Sun family, right? However, Sun Xing has fallen into my hands. After a few days, I will empty it out. I must ask him to find out. If it is just a misunderstanding, I am willing to be a peacemaker for Fuzhongtang and Lin Yun, how about it?"

"You...Fifth Prince, don't bully others too much. I, Fulin'an, and you have no enmity in the past and have no enmity in the recent days. Why do you have to be so aggressive?"

"Haha, does Fu Zhongtang have a guilty conscience? Or are you afraid that I will follow the clues and find out something shady?"

"Hmph! My conduct is upright and I am worthy of the world! How can I allow you to slander me!"

Fulin'an snorted coldly and turned to look aside.

Although the two didn't talk about the topic, after testing each other, Fulinan was obviously scared.

This is also the fundamental reason why Lin Yun handed Sun Xing over to the Fifth Prince.

The Fifth Prince helped him check and balance Fulin'an, and he would repay the Fifth Prince's kindness in the future.

Moreover, the Fifth Prince, as the Emperor's former rival for the throne, knew the Emperor's character very well. Although he did not say it, he could feel that the Emperor was biased towards Lin Yun.

Although the risk of reusing Lin Yun is high, the effect is beyond imagination. As a monarch, if you can't bear this little pressure, you won't be able to do anything big.

Sure enough, the emperor pretended not to hear what they said, and said in a deep voice: "Lao Ba, you immediately leave for Yulin City and tell Lin Yun that I accept his conditions! But he must also accept my will and marry Princess Fuyao. , be the consort of my Daduan Dynasty! If he doesn’t agree, I will treat him like other vassal kings!”

As soon as these words came out, both of them sighed deeply and secretly called it quits.

The emperor obviously wanted to marry the princess to Lin Yun in exchange for trust between them. With the status of consort, Lin Yun could be regarded as a relative of the emperor, and all interests would be tied to the national destiny of the Daduan Dynasty.

It can be said that the emperor's political marriage move was quite clever.

If Lin Yun refuses, it will be equivalent to exposing all his ambitions, and the persona he has established for himself will collapse.
