Chapter 564 Impulse Punishment

Du Sheng smiled awkwardly: "I just learned about this! The emperor has not discussed it with me!"

Lin Yun sneered: "Mr. Du, do you think I, Lin Yun, will believe it?"

"Hey, Lin Zhongtang must not be childish with the emperor! The emperor also has something unspeakable! It was Fulin'an who threatened the emperor. If his son Fu Tianchen is not allowed to take his place, within three years, all the vassal kings in the country will rise up! How can the Emperor remain indifferent to such a major event?"

Lin Yun's expression softened slightly. If this was the reason, the emperor's decision was indeed excusable.

Du Sheng saw Lin Yun's reaction and continued: "In addition, Lin Zhongtang had better not try to guess the Sacred Heart! Otherwise, you will be in danger!"

Lin Yun's heart skipped a beat. Being reminded like this reminded Lin Yun of what Qi Changyun said in the early morning.

"I understand! Thank you Mr. Du for reminding me!"

Du Sheng nodded with a smile, thinking that he had persuaded him, and stood up and said: "It's good that Lin Zhongtang can think about it! I have something important to do, so I'll leave first!"

Since he and Lin Yun had a complete showdown, there was no need to stick to Yun Mansion all day long. There were still many things waiting for him to deal with at the National Academy of Sciences.

Lin Yun watched Du Sheng leave and murmured: "Zheng Lili, please don't let me down!"

At this point, it is almost impossible for him to kill Fulin'an in a short time. Then the old man will definitely take revenge. Zheng Li will be in a lot of crises when he is working abroad.

At this time, the Eight Sages and Meng Yuan arrived.

Although Lin Yun was not in the mood to receive him, he could only welcome him patiently.

He said with a smile: "Are you two gentlemen the lobbyists invited by the emperor?"

The Eighth Sage King smiled and pointed at Lin Yun, looked at Meng Yuan and said: "Meng Zhongtang, what are you talking about? This kid must be sulking at home! Haha!!"

Meng Yuan also smiled and said: "Lin Zhongtang is indeed very witty! However, I and the Eighth Prince are on your side this time!"

Lin Yunyi raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? How do you say this?"

Meng Yuan said: "Lin Zhongtang just wants us to stand here and talk?"

Only then did Lin Yun react and said: "You two, please come in quickly!"

After that, the three of them went to the living room and took their seats, and a maid served them tea.

At this time, the Eight Wise Kings said: "Lin Zhongtang, it seems that you haven't adapted to being an official in the capital yet!"

Lin Yun smiled bitterly and said: "Yes! In my heart, since the emperor has made a decree, he must carry it out to the end! It's just... eh, let's not mention it!"

"Haha!" The Eighth Sage King laughed loudly and said: "You! It's better not to be so impulsive in the future! This is not Fengyang County. Those feudal princes with different surnames are a thorn in the side of the court, so they can be dealt with by you! But after all, the Fuji family It is a big family whose ancestors have been loyal to the imperial court for three generations. How can it be easily solved? Moreover, Fulinan is an old fox. If he has no ability, how can he stay in this position for so many years? Lin Zhongtang should not think too highly of himself. , you feel that others are not as smart as you!"

Lin Yun nodded and said, "Yes! I did underestimate Fulin'an's ability! If I had known that the emperor would change his mind at a moment's notice, I shouldn't have done everything right, let alone offended Fulin'an easily!"

menu He has always had the advantage, so Fulin'an probably can't sleep every day! Why is it that he only managed to win the game this time, but Lin Zhongtang can't stand it?"

Lin Yun sighed: "I'm too impatient! I always want to accomplish something and gain a foothold in the capital!"

Meng Yuan and the Eighth Sage King looked at each other. Seeing that the time was ripe, they tentatively said: "What Lin Zhongtang should do now is to defend! Now that Fulin'an has escaped and has time to breathe, he will definitely turn to defense in the next step." Attack! Think carefully, if you were Fulinan, what would he do to attack you next!"

Lin Yun was shocked, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Thank you, sir, for your guidance. I would also like to trouble you to tell the emperor that Lin Yun will no longer act impulsively, let alone talk about the Sacred Heart!" "Well, that's pretty much it! Lin Zhongtang is indeed a smart man, he can tell you everything!"

The Eight Wise Kings smiled and nodded with approval.

In his opinion, Lin Yun stood out in Fengyang County and was already considered a very powerful hero.

But becoming an official in Beijing is not as arbitrary as being a hero.

No matter how much you hate someone, you can't take action easily until you are absolutely sure. The right time, place and people are indispensable for anything to happen.

However, Lin Yun now is more like a piece of fine jade, which only needs simple carving to become a talent.

Lin Yun looked at the Eight Wise Kings and asked, "Eighth Prince, I wonder how the Fifth Prince is doing now?"

"He...is not in a good condition! The injury is quite serious, but fortunately it did not damage the internal organs. It is estimated that he will be able to recover after a few more months of rest!"

Lin Yun nodded: "When I have the opportunity, I will definitely visit in person!"

The Eighth Sage King smiled bitterly and said: "Why do Lin Zhongtang's words make me a little scared? Are you trying to..."

He had seen Lin Yun's evil ways. He had poisoned Lin Fengjiao, forced Lin Hetu to commit suicide, and assassinated his ex-wife in Yuncheng. None of them were fair and just methods.

Therefore, when the Eighth Sage King heard that he was going to visit his fifth brother, his first reaction was that Lin Yun wanted to kill someone and silence him.

Lin Yun coughed lightly and said, "Eighth Prince, please don't slap me with random hats!"

"Okay, okay! I am the king who worries too much!"

He stood up and said: "Now that Lin Zhongtang has figured it out, I have completed the emperor's mission and take my leave now!"

Meng Yuan also said: "I won't disturb Lin Zhongtang anymore! Let's have a drink and talk when we are free another day!"

Lin Yun sent them out of the house with a smile, then returned to the house, changed into a black robe, and walked through the back door.

He didn't even ride in the sedan this time, just because he didn't want anyone to know his whereabouts.

Soon, he came to Qi Mansion.

Led by two guards, he walked into Qi Changyun's study. After waiting for a cup of tea, Qi Changyun hurried over.

"Lin Zhongtang, is there something urgent?"

He was still wearing official robes, and after receiving the report from his subordinates, he rushed back to the infantry commander's office.

Lin Yun did not hide anything and told the story of the emperor's pardon to Fulin'an.

Qi Changyun's eyes were filled with joy and he said, "Lin Zhongtang, are you serious about what you say?"

He knew that this old guy would be happy to get this news, which proved that although the emperor had the intention to reduce the power of these powerful ministers, he still left a glimmer of hope for them and did not kill them all.

Lin Yun was too lazy to explain and said: "Of course it is true! However, the emperor has asked Fulin'an to resign and let his son Fu Tianchen succeed him as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Will he be able to join the cabinet and become the prime minister in the future? Do you still want us? What a few people’s attitudes!”
