wealthy lord

Chapter 528: Entering Beijing to receive a title, entering the cabinet to pay homage to the Prime Minister

"Arrange people to bury Xue Meng generously! The inscription says the tomb of Lin Yun's beloved wife!"

"As ordered!"

After that, Zheng Li bent down and picked up Sun Xuemeng's body, then turned and entered Yuncheng to look for the coffin store.

At this time, the two elders from the Lin family just rolled up to Lin Yun and the Eight Wise Kings, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"This official is guilty. I hope the Eighth Prince and Mr. Lin will spare their lives!"

The Eight Wise Kings laughed jokingly: "Spare my life? Since you two are the lords of Yuncheng, you still want to shirk the responsibility for such a big thing? Come on!"

The two imperial guards immediately stepped forward, cupped their fists and said, "Your Majesty..."

"Drag these two old guys down and chop them down!"

"Yes!!"

Like dragging dogs to death, they dragged the two elders of the Lin family to a corner, raised their knives and chopped off their heads.

Lin Yun saw it but said nothing.

He vaguely felt that the Eight Wise Kings seemed to have an insight into his plan and deliberately killed the chicken to scare the monkeys and warned him.

The Eight Wise Kings playfully said, "Young master Lin, you won't blame me for cheating on you, right?"

Lin Yun turned around, looked face to face with him, and said with a smile: "Of course not! Even I have submitted myself to the court, so the Eighth Prince naturally has the right to severely punish the erring elders of the Lin family!"

"That's good!" With that said, the Eighth Sage King turned around and walked into Yuncheng, raised his hand and said: "I hope Mr. Lin will take action in the future and inform me in advance. Don't be self-righteous!"

Lin Yun watched him leave and secretly sighed at the acumen of the Eight Wise Kings. It seemed that he still underestimated him too much.

But in fact, the Eighth Sage King was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. Ever since he knew that Lin Yun was responsible for the sudden attack, he had been frightened.

This time Lin Yun used his identity to assassinate Sun Xuemeng, but what if his target was himself?

Are you no longer alive now?

Compared with the viciousness of the Fifth Prince, Lin Yun's evil-spiritedness is even better. It seems that I have to be more careful when dealing with him in the future.

Ten days passed in a flash.

Lin Yun and the Eight Sage Kings finally rushed back to the capital.

From afar, I saw a red carpet paving the road in front of the city gate, with hundreds of civil and military officials standing on both sides.

The Fifth Prince, Fulin'an and Meng Yuan, all the big shots in the court, were present.

Under a yellow umbrella used by the royal court, the emperor was sitting on the dragon throne and looking forward to it.

It had been a long time since the last time he left the palace and met Lin Yun in Yun Mansion, and he now had a lot to say to Lin Yun.

However, in the hearts of these civil and military officials, the attitudes towards Lin Yun were mixed. Some praised him as a meritorious official, while others said that he was now rebelling against the king and came to the capital just to show authority to the emperor.

At this time, the carriage stopped in front of the red carpet. Lin Yun and the Eight Wise Kings got out of the car and walked to the emperor.

Lin Yun knelt directly on the ground, bowed and kowtowed three times and shouted: "Long live my emperor!" "Haha!" The emperor raised his head and laughed, waving his hands and said: "Lin Qing's family is exempt from courtesy! Please get up quickly! "

Lin Yun was still kneeling on the ground, clasping his fists and saying: "Your Majesty, I am finally able to live up to my duty and fulfill the gentleman's agreement I made with you! It's just that... I temporarily changed my plan and brought the Lin family under my command. I failed to ask the Emperor for instructions. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

The Emperor was so happy that he stood up and stepped down from the dragon chair. In front of all the civil and military officials, he personally helped Lin Yun up.

"Lin Qing's family doesn't need to worry too much. Since I made a gentleman's agreement with you at the beginning, it was your trust! This is an agreement between our monarchs and ministers!" After saying that, the emperor leaned forward slightly and whispered: " It’s the trust between our friends! I know that Lin Qing’s family is the kind of people who don’t like to be restrained, so I can give you the maximum freedom! As long as you don’t rebel against me!”

All the civil and military officials around were shocked. They did not expect that the emperor would say such words. Moreover, judging from his tone, it seemed that he was deliberately joking.

When he looked at Lin Yun again, his eyes became strange.

Being able to be friends with the emperor and joke around is not something everyone can do.

So far, I am afraid that only Lin Yun can enjoy this kind of preferential treatment.

Lin Yun was greatly moved. He thought he would have to waste more words to keep the Lin family's affairs private, but he didn't expect the emperor to be so easy to talk to.

But it also made him realize that his status in the emperor's heart had never changed, which was a great thing.

At this time, the Eight Wise Kings said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Lin Yun has made great contributions to the court this time. He has completely solved the huge threat in Fengyang County. He has also intimidated all the vassals and promoted the emperor's dragon power. Therefore, My younger brother believes that Lin Yun must be rewarded heavily, so that people with lofty ideals in the world can join the imperial court and ensure that our Daduan country is forever strong!"

As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military officials around him knelt on the ground.

"My emperor is a saint, and I receive the blessings of heaven and the blessings of my people!"

The emperor raised his head and laughed: "Everyone is equal!"

Immediately, he looked at Lin Yundao and said: "Lin Qing's family, you will soon be the consort of my Daduan Dynasty, and you can also be regarded as my brother-in-law. I will not treat you badly! I will make you a bachelor of Wenyuan Palace and a minister of the Ministry of War. Official title: Zhengyipin! How about it?"

As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military officials present took a deep breath.

They knew that Lin Yun would definitely rise to prominence when he came to Beijing this time, but they did not expect that the emperor would give him such a high official position.

Directly join the cabinet and become Minister of War?
This is equivalent to dividing the power of Fulin'an and Meng Yuan.

Moreover, the Minister of War can mobilize the military power of the Daduan Dynasty, such as border guarding, suppressing rebellions, mobilizing domestic resources, improving the combat effectiveness of the army, researching weapons, equipment and tactics, etc., as long as it is related to the military, horse and territory, the Minister of War can Responsibilities.

Through Lin Yun's performance in the past few years, he is a professional counterpart as Minister of War. Presumably the emperor made such an arrangement after careful consideration.

The Eight Wise Kings and the Fifth Prince both laughed and said nothing. They both knew that the emperor had a deep intention in making this arrangement. He just wanted to boil the frog in warm water and gradually reduce the power of the two central ministers.

Being admitted to the cabinet is equivalent to being able to walk in the military plane. It is a matter of national importance, and Lin Yun is also qualified to participate. Therefore, in addition to the two central ministers, the eighth prince and the fifth prince will be directly affected.

But at this moment, it was impossible for the two princes to refute. They both wanted to win over Lin Yun, so naturally they wouldn't say much.

Only Fulinan and Meng Yuan looked unhappy.

At this time, Fulin'an came out of class, knelt directly on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, it is true that Lin Yun has made great contributions, but after all, his qualifications are still young. He joined the cabinet to serve as prime minister when he was only in his twenties. I am afraid it is not appropriate to participate in national affairs. Right? Moreover, he also controls the entire Fengyang County behind his back. Wouldn't it be confusing for Gangchang to hold multiple positions like this? The veteran thought that since Lin Yun is a talented person, he should start from the grassroots level after entering Beijing this time. After all, The capital is not Fengyang County, and there are many things he doesn’t understand!”

Lin Yun looked at Fulin'an and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, what Fu Zhongtang said makes sense. It seems that he must be a good official for the country and the people! So..."
