Chapter 563: Bad news comes, the Sacred Heart is unpredictable
Ling Ri quickly bowed and bowed.

After that, Lin Yuncai left with Eunuch Cao.

Ling Ri watched his brother-in-law leave and breathed a sigh of relief.

Unknowingly, the official robe on his back was soaked through. Although Lin Yun did not put any pressure on him, the aura of the superior was still a bit unbearable for him.

Soon, Lin Yun arrived at the Imperial Study Room. As soon as he walked into the main hall, he saw that the Eighth Sage King and Meng Yuan had been waiting for a long time.

The two of them sat on either side of the dragon table, sipping tea with their heads down.

When they saw Lin Yun coming in, they all smiled and nodded.

Lin Yun knelt on the ground, cupped his fists and said, "I am here to see you, Your Majesty!"

The emperor stood up and said with a smile: "Come here, give me a seat in Linzhong Hall!"

Immediately afterwards, two young eunuchs brought a grand master's chair.

Lin Yun sat down happily, probably guessing that what the emperor was going to say must be related to Fulin'an.

At this time, the emperor walked down the stage and said with his hands behind his back: "My ministers, do you know why I have summoned you?"

The Eight Wise Kings said: "Is it because of the assassination of Prince Guang last night?"

The emperor smiled and shook his head.

Meng Yuan said: "Your Majesty, can it be Fuzhongtang? After the morning court, the veteran saw him kneeling at the door of the imperial study!"

The emperor raised his finger and pointed at him, approvingly saying: "Meng Zhongtang is still the smartest! Yes, this call for everyone is about Fulin'an! He has just confessed to me! I have also reached a reconciliation with him! He took the blame and resigned, I He will no longer be held accountable for the crimes he committed! As a condition for voluntarily pleading guilty and abusing the law, I agree to let his son Fu Tianchen succeed him as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs! As for when he can join the cabinet and become the prime minister, it depends on the wishes of all the ministers! "

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of both the Eight Sage Kings and Meng Yuan suddenly changed.

This is a big event. Fulin'an has been in power for more than 30 years. After his fall, he was able to keep his old life. He also arranged for his son to inherit his father's business. How can this be justified?
If so, not only did Fulin'an not lose, but the golden cicada escaped from its shell and landed safely.

Lin Yun snorted, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, this Fulin'an committed a serious crime of treason! The ministers have sent people to collect evidence, and it won't take long to convict him! Why should we give him a way out?"

This is not good news for Lin Yun.

He and Fulin'an were already fighting to the death. If they couldn't kill this old guy, they would be in danger.

Especially since Fulinan retreated behind the scenes and pushed his son out, he was bound to continue fighting with Lin Yun.

The emperor sighed and said: "You think I don't want to kill him, Fulin'an? I also have something to hide! I hope Lin Qing's family can understand!"

Lin Yun sneered in his heart, he didn't understand!
Isn't it just about balancing?

Fulinan took the initiative to plead guilty, and the gang members behind him were tripped up by Ye Ruhui today, so the actual threat he posed to the emperor no longer existed.

Therefore, retaining Fulin'an can check and balance Lin Yun.

But he didn't dare to say what was in his heart, so he could only clasp his fists and say: "In that case, then Wei Chen will call his men back and give up tracing the secret letter!"

The emperor smiled and said: "The investigation will definitely continue! With that letter, I have caught Fulin'an! If he still dares to do things secretly, I will never tolerate him!"

Lin Yun nodded: "That's fine! Nothing happens. I have official duties, so I'll leave first!"

He was almost going crazy. The emperor did one thing to his face and another behind his back, treating him like a fool.

Let him do things that offend others, and the emperor turned out to be a good man. This move not only destroyed Fulin'an's power, but also gained the gratitude of the entire Fu family. It was not unwise.

But he, Lin Yun, became a fool who was hated by everyone in the Fu family.

The Eight Sage Kings and Meng Yuan on the side saw Lin Yun deflated, and the corners of their mouths turned up slightly. Ever since Lin Yun entered the palace to pay homage to the Prime Minister, this boy has become a favorite, almost reaching heaven.

This time it was obvious that the emperor had tricked him, so they were naturally happy to see the result.

The emperor knew that keeping Fulin'an would offend Lin Yun, but for the sake of long-term planning, he could only acquiesce in this matter.

At this time, the Eight Sages said: "Your Majesty, the fight between Lin Zhongtang and Fulin'an has been going on for a long time. If you arrange this, I'm afraid it will make Lin Zhongtang hold a grudge!"

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Having a grudge? What? Is it possible that he, Lin Yun, will take action against me?"

The Eighth Sage King smiled bitterly and said: "That's definitely not the case! It's just that I know Lin Zhongtang's character very well! When he was in Fengyang County, anyone who messed with him would not have a good end! I'm afraid the emperor is willing to let the Fu family go. Lin Zhongtang will not give up!"

The emperor snorted coldly: "Eighth brother is saying that he, Lin Yun, will continue to kill the Fu family?"

"It is possible! Brother Chen has long said that this Lin Yun is a double-edged sword. It can hurt the enemy, but it can also hurt yourself!"

"boom!"

The emperor slapped the dragon table, and the stacks of memorials on it fell to the ground with a clatter.

The Eighth Sage King and Meng Yuan quickly stood up and knelt on the ground.

"Emperor calm down!"

The emperor suddenly looked at the Eight Wise Kings and said: "Since my eighth brother understands the actual situation so well, it is up to you to persuade Lin Zhongtang! Even if you want to kill Fulin'an in the future, you must wait for my order!"

In the capital, no matter who he is, he must listen to him. Otherwise, if Fulin'an is destroyed and a more domineering Lin Yun emerges, the emperor is not willing to see him.

In addition, his arrangement was exactly what Lin Yun thought. Not killing Fulinan also meant balance.

Lin Yun's ability this time was indeed strong enough, but his domineering and unscrupulous attitude made the emperor very afraid.

If you dare to attack the fifth prince, you may attack him as the emperor in the future.

The Eighth Sage King cupped his fists and said, "My brother, I accept the order!"

At this time, Meng Yuan tentatively said: "Your Majesty, I want to know what Fulin'an said that could make the Emperor spare his life!"

The emperor sighed deeply and briefly recounted his conversation with Fulin'an.

The Eighth Sage King and Meng Yuan looked at each other and marveled inwardly. Unexpectedly, the cunning Fulin'an had actually left a way out for him.

In contrast, Meng Yuan had no backup plan to save his life, which made him shudder.

The emperor waved his hand and said: "Okay! You two, kneel down and retreat!"

Afterwards, they bowed three times and kowtowed nine times before bowing and leaving.

Walking out of the palace, the Eighth Sage King smiled and said, "Are Meng Zhongtang interested in going with me to find Lin Yun?"

Meng Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "Is it appropriate for me to go? Don't miss the Eighth Prince's business again!"

"Hey, to be honest, I am really not sure that I can persuade Lin Yun, so I hope Meng Zhongtang can help me!"

Meng Yuan nodded: "Since the Eighth Prince has invited me, then I would rather be respectful than obey!"

On the other side, when Lin Yun returned to Yun Mansion, Du Sheng immediately came forward and said with a smile: "What's going on with Lin Zhongtang? Why are you so angry?"

Lin Yun looked at him with a gloomy face and said, "Mr. Du, the emperor has issued an order to pardon all Fulinan's crimes. Do you know this?"
