Chapter 545: The top think tank steals and replaces others

"Mr. Du, you are a role model for me! I originally wanted to enter the Imperial Academy because I wanted to become a powerful Imperial Advisor like you! I'm so excited!"

Lin Yun was speechless. He could understand the feeling of worshiping idols, but this was in officialdom, not just ordinary conversation.

Du Sheng was even more shocked by her reaction. He glanced at Lin Yun awkwardly and quickly helped Ye Wanqing up.

"Second Madam, please don't do this. You are the beloved wife of Master Zhongtang. How dare I accept your worship?"

Ye Wanqing nodded guiltily, realizing that what she had just done was inappropriate.

Lin Yun coughed lightly and said, "Wanqing, why don't you go make some tea? I want to have a good chat with Mr. Du!"

"Yes!"

Ye Wanqing then turned around and left. When she walked to a place where no one was around, she raised her hand and slapped herself lightly. Why was she so rude just now?
Lin Yunhan said with a smile: "Mr. Du, please!"

"Master Zhongtang, please!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, then happily returned to the study and sat down.

They are all extremely smart people, and they can understand each other's thoughts without saying something too clearly.

Du Sheng asked: "May I ask Master Zhongtang, why did you rush to the Suo Suo just now?"

Lin Yun didn't hide anything and directly took out the list from his sleeve.

"Since Mr. Du is respected by the emperor as the national master and is the chief assistant of the National Academy of Scholars, he must be familiar with the officials under Fulin'an. Could you please help me check if there is anything wrong with this list!"

Du Sheng nodded, took the list and read it carefully.

Lin Yun lowered his head and fiddled with his fingers. He knew without looking that he could see the old man's flaw. This kind of top think tank had long been indifferent to emotions and anger. Even if it was exposed, it must have been done deliberately. , just like he had just been caught, the old man was still pretending. If Du Sheng hadn't taken the initiative to reveal his identity, Lin Yun would have been kept in the dark.

"Hey!" Du Sheng sighed quietly and gently placed the list on the table.

Lin Yunyi raised his eyebrows: "What does Mr. Du mean?"

Du Sheng said in a deep voice: "This list can only be said to be half-truth or half-false. I just counted it. There are thirty-six officials in total! But only three of them are from Fulin'an, and the remaining thirty-three are from Meng Yuan." The doorman!"

Lin Yun snorted coldly: "Fifth Prince, you are so stubborn!"

Du Sheng continued: "Master Zhongtang, there is no need to be angry about this! The fifth prince has always been so cunning! It would be great if three out of ten sentences he said are true! Even the emperor has never trusted him!"

Lin Yun nodded: "I see! I have really learned a lesson! By the way, where are the Eight Wise Kings?"

Du Sheng smiled playfully: "The Eighth Prince is naturally a trustworthy person!"

Lin Yun heard the implication and was too smart not to delve into it further.

Du Sheng's words seemed to be an affirmation of the Eight Wise Kings, but upon closer inspection, they felt like an ambiguous answer. It is estimated that the old man could not understand the Eight Wise Kings, which made Lin Yun even more afraid.

At this time, Du Sheng said: "Lin Zhongtang collected this list to get rid of the gangsters around Fulin'an, right?"

"Exactly! The emperor said when he had a private conversation with me that day that Fulin'an formed a clique for personal gain and tried to control the government. It is extremely difficult to deal with him. If he is not handled well, the court will be shaken! Therefore, I plan to first Secretly cut off these gang members, and wait for the letter written by Fulin'an to be brought back, so that he can die without a burial place!" Du Sheng gently stroked his beard and said in a deep voice: "There is nothing wrong with Master Zhongtang's plan! But even if he wants to deal with Fulin'an The henchmen under his command also need a reason to attack, right?"

Lin Yun smiled mysteriously: "I have arranged this for a long time! Don't forget, Mr. Du, my father-in-law is the most severe censor in our Daduan Dynasty! I asked my old man to lead the troops to fight, and he Maybe he’s not good at it, but he’s sure to catch these corrupt officials!”

Du Sheng's eyes lit up and he immediately raised his head and laughed: "Haha! Lin Zhongtang is indeed the lucky star of my Daduan Dynasty! This is indeed a good idea! However, I would like to remind Mr. Zhongtang!"

"Oh? Please ask Mr. Du for advice!"

"Fu Lin'an is already frightened now. The slightest disturbance may make him jump over the wall! What if he has a grudge and attacks Ye Ruhui..."

Lin Yun entered the pavilion to pay homage to the prime minister, and he was a highly respected minister. Naturally, Fulin'an did not dare to do evil things to him in the capital, but he had no worries about dealing with Ye Ruhui.

Lin Yun snorted coldly: "If he doesn't even give up this last bit of dignity, then I will make him pay an unbearable price! Don't forget, Mr. Du, how I rose up and used shady means. I’m not afraid of him, I’m just afraid that he can’t afford it! Besides, I’m the Minister of the Ministry of War, I don’t have much else, and there are people who can recruit and fight well!”

There is still a secret card in his hand that he has not used yet, and that is Qi Changyun, the Nine Sect Admiral.

After he entered the capital, he went to the pavilion to pay homage to the prime minister, but he never met the Qi family.

But it doesn't mean that their relationship is not good. Just because the relationship is too close, Lin Yun does not intend to use it easily.

Qi Changyun secretly instructed Meng Yuan to promote Lin Yun's brother-in-law. He knew it very well. If it wasn't a back-to-back relationship, who would dare to do such a thing?
Du Sheng suddenly realized this and stared at Lin Yun with a complicated expression.

"It seems that Lin Zhongtang has exhausted all his plans! I really admire you very much!"

Lin Yun knew what he was thinking and said with a smile: "Don't worry too much, Mr. Du! I am loyal to the emperor wholeheartedly and have no other ideas!"

"Hey, Lin Zhongtang doesn't need to say more, I understand very well! In this case, I will also give Mr. Zhongtang a meeting gift!"

As he spoke, he turned over the list and spread it on the table. He took up a pen and wrote down a bunch of names and official positions.

Lin Yun was horrified to see that although there were only ten people, they all held important official positions, and Cui Mingchong's name was among them.

It seems that this old guy wants to use his own hands to help the emperor kill people.

Soon, Du Sheng started writing, dried the ink, and said with a smile: "Lin Zhongtang, these are Fulin'an's true confidants. If we can catch all these people, then Fulin'an will really become a tiger without sharp claws and fangs." !”

Lin Yun nodded and murmured to himself: "Fu Lin'an, I must make you feel the pain this time!"

At this time, Du Sheng joked: "Lin Zhongtang, please be patient! Listen to what I have to say first!"

"Lin Zhongtang can find the right time to let Fulin'an know that this true list is from the hands of the Fifth Prince..."

Lin Yun was so smart that he understood the meaning instantly and said with a wicked smile: "Mr. Du is really bad! But I like him!"

This Du Sheng is really full of bad ideas. The list that the Fifth Prince asked Xiang Chong to send was clearly done perfunctorily and he didn't want to offend Fulin'an too much.

But having Du Sheng subvert his role was equivalent to dragging the fifth prince into trouble. Once the incident came to light, Fulinan hated Lin Yun, but he hated the fifth prince even more.
