Chapter 519: Rise to success, choose sides

After all, even rebellion needs a reason. If Lin Yun is not reasonable, even if he succeeds in the future, it will not be justified.

The Eighth Sage King knelt directly on the ground and said: "My dear brother...accept the decree!"

Afterwards, he got up and left.

He didn't even look at the two Zhongtang and the Fifth Prince.

He knew that all three of them had hidden agendas.

The two lieutenants were afraid that Lin Yun would threaten their authority and interests in the future, so they repeatedly tempted the emperor to kill Lin Yun.

The fifth prince's thoughts were even clearer. To befriend Lin Yun was to rob Lin Yun from the emperor.

After all, in today's Daduan Dynasty, whoever can get Lin Yun's support will have the ability to compete for the world.

Regardless of whether Lin Yun has ambitions in this area, it is definitely a wise move to take the initiative to make friends now.

Otherwise, why would the emperor marry his own sister to Lin Yun, a suspected rebel king, even though he knew Lin Yun's huge threat?

After that, several people left the imperial study. Fulinan quickly caught up and said in a deep voice: "Fifth Prince, can we talk further?"

The fifth prince smiled jokingly: "If you have anything to say to Fuzhongtang, you can say it now! I have important matters to attend to, so I don't have time to chat with Fuzhongtang!"

Fulin'an gritted his teeth secretly and forced a smile: "What the prince just said in front of the emperor, are you serious?"

The fifth prince raised his eyebrows: "I just said a lot, I wonder which sentence Fuzhongtang is referring to?"

"It's about Sun Xing!"

"Oh!" The fifth prince deliberately made his voice longer and playful: "Young master Lin is really powerful! I have never seen Fuzhongtang, and he can pinch Fuzhongtang's seven inches with one move!"

Fulin'an's expression was gloomy and he said impatiently: "In a word, what does the Fifth Prince want before he is willing to hand over Sun Xing?"

The fifth prince patted him on the shoulder and said sullenly: "Fu Zhongtang, do you know that what I hate the most is people like you! You obviously want to ask for help from others, but you still can't figure out your position!"

Fulin'an took a deep breath and put on a fake smile: "Okay, I just had a bad attitude towards the official, please give me some face from the Fifth Prince! As long as I hand over Sun Xing, I will definitely repay you with generous gifts in the future!"

The fifth prince sneered: "Fu Zhongtang knows what this prince wants?"

"Of course, who doesn't know that the fifth prince has always been brooding about that matter! As long as the fifth prince is willing to make Xiaguan a friend, he will definitely help him and make his wishes come true!"

Fulin'an smiled sinisterly, he had to take Sun Xing away. Once Sun Xing couldn't bear it anymore and told the scandals he had done over the years, the emperor would not let him go.

Therefore, if he would die no matter what, he would have no choice but to take a desperate risk and seek skin from the fifth prince.

The fifth prince raised his head and laughed: "I tell you Fulin'an, if you are looking for death, don't drag me with you! I have forgotten about that matter a long time ago, and I have settled the feud with the emperor! Otherwise, you will still keep your title when you become the emperor. King to this day?"

Immediately, he changed the subject and whispered: "Besides, who do you think you are, Fulin'an? Are you worthy of telling me this? Even if I want to succeed, I will still find Lin Yun. Is it possible that Fu Zhongtang still can't figure out this?" What’s at stake?”

After that, the fifth prince left gracefully.

Fulin'an narrowed his eyes slightly, with murderous intent in his eyes.

He naturally understood that the fifth prince looked down on him, and between him and Lin Yun, he finally chose Lin Yun.

But if you think about it carefully, there is no problem. Lin Yun holds armed forces that can subvert everything. Now he directly controls Fengyang County, forcing the emperor to retreat and sue for peace. In order to stabilize Lin Yun, he did not hesitate to kill Princess Fuyao. Marry him. In this case, everyone would probably choose to be friends with Lin Yun, and he, Fulin'an, had already been unable to protect himself. Only if the Fifth Prince went crazy would he choose to cooperate with him.

The emperor just witnessed the fight between the two of them, but ignored it. This can only explain one problem. In the eyes of the emperor, he, Fulin'an, is already meat on the chopping block. Once the emperor takes action and starts to rectify the officialdom, he, Fulin'an, will be the end. .

Here, the Eighth Sage King led a group of imperial guards and a thousand royal forest troops, and drove straight into Fengyang County.

This was not an ordinary meeting, but the emperor's recognition of Lin Yun, which had strong political significance.

In addition, Lin Yun completely overthrew the rule of Lin Hetu and Lin Fengjiao, which was also of great significance and had to be staged.

As everyone knows, everyone in the court has already received the news in advance. Some are envious, others are jealous, but most of them want to make good friends with Lin Yun.

Therefore, after everyone learned that the second young lady of the Ye family was Lin Yun's wife, they all came to the Ye family to give gifts. For a time, the Ye family was so crowded that the doorstep was almost broken.

The happiest person is Ye Wanqing. With her husband-in-law having achieved such great success, she, the second wife, will surely get better. Perhaps it won't be long before the court will rehabilitate her and restore her to the position of advisor to the National Academy of Sciences.

At this moment, Ye Wanqing sent away a group of guests with a tired look on her face. Just as she was about to go home to rest, her eldest sister Ye Wanru suddenly arrived.

"Little sister, have you heard? My brother-in-law has made great contributions to the court this time. The emperor has sent the Eight Sages to personally go to Yulin City to greet my brother-in-law!"

Ye Wanqing said with a smile: "Well, sister, why are you so excited? If our father finds out, he will definitely give you a scolding!"

Ye Wanru curled her lips and said, "Our father is a stubborn old man!" As she said that, she grabbed Ye Wanqing's little hand and said, "Little sister, this time my brother-in-law is really going to be very prosperous! I heard that the emperor has granted marriage to him and made him his consort. , you must let your brother-in-law take care of your brother-in-law more in the future!"

Ye Wanqing rolled her eyes and said, "Didn't my brother-in-law just get promoted from the third-class bodyguard to the first-class bodyguard? This is a three-level promotion in a row! Isn't my brother-in-law not satisfied yet?"

Ye Wanru looked like a philistine and said with a smile: "Hey, who would complain about the high number of promotions? If my brother-in-law becomes the Prince Consort and is a relative of the emperor, how about directly promoting your brother-in-law to the Minister of War? What will your brother-in-law do in the future? My family can also help!”

Ye Wanqing said impatiently: "Let's talk about it then! Or...sister, you can tell Lin Yun directly! Let's see if he agrees!"

After that, she turned around and went back to the room, not forgetting to lock the door.

It's not that she refuses to help, it's just that she is too greedy.

As if the Minister of War is a cabbage in the field, you can get it if you want it.

At the same time, Qi Mansion in the capital.

Qi Rui was having a secret conversation with his father Qi Changtian in the study.

The Eight Sage King did not take Qi Rui with him this time, and he also hid his selfish motives.

They just didn't want the Qi family to meet Lin Yun immediately.

Although Qi Rui was just the commander of the imperial guards, his father Qi Changtian was the admiral of the Nine Sects and was responsible for the security of the capital. It would not be a good thing if Lin Yun and Qi Changtian had the opportunity to come into contact.

Not only the Eight Wise Kings, but also the Five Princes were both jealous and resentful of Qi Changtian.

It can be said that if Qi Changtian had not supported the current emperor to death, the fifth prince would have succeeded.
