Chapter 520 Reactions from all parties

Although he was named a mighty general by the late emperor and commanded 200,000 green battalion troops, without Qi Changtian's support, the 200,000 green battalion troops would not be able to enter the capital at all. On the contrary, Qi Changtian's imperial forest troops could be mobilized at will. If If these princes dare to act rashly, they will definitely die.

At this time, Qi Rui said with a smile: "Dad, Mr. Lin has been recognized by the emperor, and we want to recruit him as his consort. Do you want me to travel overnight to give Mr. Lin a gift?"

Qi Changtian gently stroked his beard, shook his head and said: "Forget it! If the Eight Wise Kings don't take you, it means they don't want our family to get close to Lin Yun too early! Besides, Lin Yun's current identity is too sensitive, so we'd better wait and see for a while. Let’s talk about it later!”

In fact, he also wanted to have more contact with Lin Yun. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that Lin Yun had reached the sky in one step, and it would definitely be beneficial to have a good relationship with him.

But behind Lin Yun, the Lin family also has a newly appointed King Fengyang. If the true attitude of the Lin family is not found out, he will be guilty of having an affair with a vassal king of a different surname, and the emperor will definitely be furious.

After all, the Qi family is in charge of the security of the capital and must not allow any mistakes.

Qi Changtian said meaningfully: "Rui'er, you should learn more from Lin Yun in the future! Although this kid has never been an official, he has a delicate heart. If you want to curry favor with Lin Yun, why not find another way and get him from his side?" People start it! You can rest assured that Lin Yun will see everything you do!"

Qi Rui's eyes lit up: "Dad, a while ago I helped Mr. Lin's brother-in-law get promoted from third-class bodyguard to first-class bodyguard! It's considered a three-level promotion in a row!"

Qi Changtian shook his head helplessly: "It's not enough! Either you don't do this kind of thing, or you must do it well and satisfy others, and then they will accept your favor, do you understand?"

Qi Rui smiled bitterly and said: "Isn't a first-class bodyguard enough? Mr. Lin's brother-in-law is just a rough guy and has no real ability!"

Qi Changtian stood up and came to his son's side, patted his shoulder and said, "I remember that there is a vacancy for the right minister of the Ministry of War?"

"Dad, is this too exaggerated? The Minister of War is very important. If Mr. Lin's brother-in-law is not capable enough, his secret will be revealed sooner or later!"

"It doesn't matter! Even if I get fucked in the future, it's someone else's business! Lin Yun won't blame us! Besides, hasn't Lin Yun been secretly running the ore business? Arranging his brother-in-law to be the Minister of the Ministry of War just meets Lin Yun's needs! "

Qi Changtian talked eloquently, and at first glance he looked like a mature old man. Although he only met Lin Yun once last time, he understood Lin Yun's preferences.

He picked up the brush on the table, quickly wrote a note and handed it to his son.

"Give this seal to Meng Yuan and Meng Zhongtang!"

Qi Rui was shocked: "Dad, Meng Zhongtang has always had a strong opinion against Young Master Lin. There is no way he can help! Now it is known that Young Master Lin has a personal feud with Fulin'an, but I still don't know what Young Master Lin's attitude is towards Meng Yuan!"

"Haha!" Qi Changtian raised his head and laughed, playfully: "Chier, you have only been an official for a few years? How do you know how deep the water is inside? You take this secret and hand it to me with confidence and boldness. Meng Zhongtang, if this old man is not crazy, he will definitely help!"

Qi Rui nodded thoughtfully, then took the secret and went to the Meng Mansion.

He really didn't know Meng Yuan well enough. He only knew that Meng Yuan had been at odds with Fulin'an over the years, and it seemed that the two men had never agreed on the same opinion.

But one thing is certain, Meng Yuan is not a corrupt official. He is very frugal in his daily dress and even in his house expenses.

At this time, as soon as he walked up the steps of Meng's house, he met an old housekeeper.

"Hey, isn't this Commander Qi? Why are you here suddenly?"

The old housekeeper quickly bowed and saluted.

Qi Rui waved his hand and said: "No courtesy! Is Meng Zhongtang at home? I have something to come to visit!"

"My master just came back, but he said he hasn't seen anyone in the past few days. If Commander Qi has something to do, you can tell me, and I will tell my master!" Qi Rui sighed. He knew that Meng Yuan must be evading on purpose. , and most likely it is related to Lin Yun.

Immediately, he cleared his throat and shouted: "Meng Zhongtang, my subordinate Qi Rui, I came here to pay my respects!"

"Hey, Commander Qi, don't shout! I just went back to the house to rest! I beg you, can't you?"

But Qi Rui ignored him at all and continued to shout at his neck.

After half a stick of incense, a young boy ran out and said, "Commander Qi, my master has invited me, please come with me!"

Qi Rui was so proud that he followed the servant into the house and came to a garden. He saw Meng Yuan had already changed out of his official robes and was wearing a navy blue gown. He was lazily leaning on a wicker chair and fanning himself with a folding fan. Wind, while sipping tea leisurely.

"I have seen Meng Zhongtang!"

Qi Rui quickly knelt on the ground. The prime minister in front of him was the powerful prime minister.

Meng Yuan said with a smile: "Okay, there are no outsiders, why are you so polite? Tell me, what did your father ask you to do?"

Qi Rui was secretly shocked. He was indeed the prime minister of the dynasty, but he didn't say anything. How did he know?

But he still obediently handed the seal to Meng Yuan.

Meng Yuan took a brief look at the content, then threw the secret fold on the small round table aside and asked, "Is this your father's intention or Lin Yun's intention?"

By now, Meng Yuan also knew that Lin Yun's rise was unstoppable, so he planned to pretend to be sick at home just to see what Lin Yun's attitude would be after he came to Beijing.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lin Yun and Fulin'an are definitely hostile, and he has repeatedly blocked the emperor from re-employing Lin Yun. If Lin Yun hates him too, he should be prepared.

Qi Rui cupped his fists and said, "It's my father's wish, and it's also Mr. Lin's wish!"

"Haha! Little slippery man, do you think I am so easy to deceive? Your father wants to take this opportunity to please Lin Yun, right?"

Qi Rui smiled jokingly: "Don't you want to take the opportunity to please Lin Yun, Master Zhongtang?"

Meng Yuan finally sat up straight, picked up the book and took a look at it again, and said in a deep voice: "I can help with this, but what can Qi Changtian do to make him Lin Yun's master? Will he not cause trouble for me in the future?"

Qi Rui nodded and smiled: "Xiaguan has had many contacts with Lin Yun, and he still has a certain understanding! He has no grudge against Meng Zhongtang, and has never even mentioned it, so Master Zhongtang does not need to worry! Besides, if you are willing to help this time , I believe that with Lin Yun’s intelligence, he will definitely understand what Master Zhongtang wants!”

"Yeah! Okay! Leave this matter to me!"

Seeing that Meng Yuan agreed, Qi Rui was secretly happy and admired his father's political acumen even more.

Officials who can get into this position are very shrewd. Just one opportunity is enough to change many things.

Qi Rui bowed and said, "Then I'll take my leave first!"

Meng Yuan said in a deep voice: "Go back and tell your father that I will remember this relationship! We often come and go!"
