Chapter 593 Hongmen Banquet, carefully arranged
The Eight Wise Kings were much deeper than the Fifth Prince. Even though he knew that Lin Yun was secretly trying to find out about him, he still had no fear at all.

"Haha! Lin Zhongtang didn't do anything wrong, why is he so cowardly?"

Lin Yun curled his lips and said: "Who said that only when you do something bad can you be timid? I think the Eighth Prince has always been very courageous!"

"Okay! You are so glib! Tell me, what does the emperor want to do with you alone?"

Lin Yun pondered for a moment and said, "The emperor already mentioned the introduction of landmines to me last time, so he probably has already considered it!"

The Eighth Sage King pointed at Lin Yun and said, "You! It's almost done! The court can't afford much money now! Money is needed everywhere, and the emperor is in a difficult situation!"

Lin Yun looked at him with a complicated expression. The Eight Wise Kings were nothing short of a kaleidoscope. They were secretly fighting against dissidents and colluding with the prince to cause trouble, but they pretended to be loyal ministers.

If Cui Mingchong hadn't learned everything, he wouldn't have believed that the Eighth Sage King was a careerist even if he was beaten to death.

In comparison, the Fifth Prince is far behind.

Lin Yun would rather face the Fifth Prince than play chess with the Eight Wise Kings, an invisible kaleidoscope.

Lin Yun sighed: "What does the Eighth Prince mean by this? I have no intention of making money, let alone money from the court! The emperor wants to spread mines all over the border to guard against the Panda tribe. This is a big expense!" "

The Eighth Sage King nodded with a smile: "Okay! I will just say it casually! So, are you free tomorrow night? I want to entertain you alone! Before you entered the court as an official, I said that I would like to meet you You won’t come back until you’re drunk! You must give me a reward this time!”

Lin Yunyi looked at him in surprise, sighing secretly that the Eight Wise Kings were too courageous.

Why do you want to find yourself drunk and unable to return? Don't you just want to have a showdown with yourself alone?
He said it in public and would not be suspected by anyone. This is the most brilliant thing.

Lin Yun admired him very much for telling lies without blushing.

But this was obviously the Hongmen Banquet, and Lin Yun felt somewhat unsure.

Seeing that he remained silent, the Eight Wise Kings asked, "What? Lin Zhongtang doesn't want to show his respect?"

Lin Yun smiled and said: "When the Eight Wise Kings speak, how can I not give you a compliment? Okay, I will definitely attend the appointment tomorrow night!"

"Okay, then I will be waiting for Lin Zhongtang to arrive at my residence!"

Afterwards, he walked away.

Lin Yun stared at his back, frowning.

These Eight Wise Kings will definitely be their biggest rivals in the future.

He didn't need to guess to know that the Eight Wise Kings would definitely try their best to drag him into trouble tomorrow night. Even if he refused, if he said something he shouldn't have said, it would be used as a tool.

Afterwards, Lin Yun went to the Ministry of War to handle official duties and then went straight to the imperial study.

As soon as they arrived at the door, the eunuch in charge greeted him enthusiastically and said respectfully: "Lin Zhongtang, you are finally here! His Majesty has been waiting for you inside for a long time!"

Lin Yun nodded with a smile and said, "What do you call this father-in-law?"

The eunuch in charge was stunned. He didn't expect Lin Yun to suddenly ask his name, and said quickly: "Old slave Cao Shaoqing, what are your orders from Master Zhongtang?"

Lin Yun asked: "Are you responsible for the emperor's daily life every day?"

"Exactly!"

"Oh! It's okay! I just want to ask!" After saying that, Lin Yun took out a 10,000 tael silver note from his sleeve and handed it to him.

Cao Shaoqing looked down and was shocked. He quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Master Zhongtang, what do you mean by this? I don't dare to accept this money because I have no merit and no reward!" He has been serving the emperor all day long, so he naturally knows what is happening in front of him. Lin Yun is not easy to mess with, and Lin Yun's money is definitely not easy to get.

Lin Yun frowned and said, "Take it as long as you are told! I just want to be friends with Eunuch Cao, that's all! Eunuch Cao, don't worry too much!"

After that, he walked into the hall.

Cao Shaoqing didn't dare to say more and quickly put the banknote into his arms.

Usually, many officials give him gifts, but they are only second-rank and first-rank officials. This is the first time for a powerful official like Lin Yun, who is a highly respected official.

Lin Yun walked into the main hall, but there was no one there. He immediately shouted respectfully: "Lin Yun, the humble minister, is here to see your majesty!"

At this time, the emperor's voice came from the small red door.

"There is no need to be polite, Lin Zhongtang, just come in!"

Lin Yun then walked into the little red door with his head lowered.

This was the first time he entered the emperor's resting place.

The emperor was sitting at a small table reviewing the memorials sent by various counties. Lin Yun immediately knelt down and bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to salute.

The emperor smiled and said: "Get up! I said that when there is no one around, we, the monarch and his ministers, should treat each other as friends!"

Lin Yun then stood up, looked at the emperor with a complicated expression, then lowered his head and stared at the ground.

But he was filled with emotion in his heart. The emperor's closest officials had colluded with the prince to plot evil, but the emperor didn't know it yet.

Lin Yun finally understood why the emperor said that he had become a loner.

Once you sit on the throne that everyone envies, you have no relatives left.

Those powerful ministers were loyal, but they all had hidden agendas and deceived the superiors and subordinates in an attempt to usurp the throne.

Now all the powerful officials in the military aircraft department knew everything, but the emperor was kept in the dark.

At this time, the emperor seemed to see something was wrong, put down the cinnabar pen in his hand, and asked: "What? Is Lin Zhongtang worried?"

Lin Yun hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen has thought a lot these days and always feels that the Emperor's safety is not secure enough! Therefore, in the name of the Ministry of War, we want to establish a power organization led by Wei Chen, which can be directly responsible for the Emperor. "Safety!"

The emperor frowned and said, "Why? Did Lin Zhongtang hear about something?"

He can sit on the throne, so he is certainly not an ordinary person, and he has a strong sense of danger.

Lin Yun shook his head and said: "It's nothing! Wei Chen is just expressing his personal opinion! If the emperor doesn't agree, then forget it!"

The emperor stood up, walked around him twice, and said jokingly: "I still understand Lin Zhongtang's character! I never make mistakes without reason! If you want to hide it from me, it will hurt my heart too much! "

Lin Yun coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much! I just feel that there are constant internal and external troubles in the imperial court. Especially after reading the government affairs files of the Ministry of War, I am even more worried for the Emperor!"

The emperor stared at him deeply, suddenly grinned, patted his shoulder and said: "Okay! Since Lin Zhongtang has this intention, first tell me what the nature of the institution you want to establish is?"

Lin Yun looked up at him and said firmly: "Of course, the core task is to be responsible for the safety of the emperor! The second is to collect intelligence information from all over the country and arm at least 5,000 people! They can be selected from the imperial guards, and all the necessary Weapons and equipment are all borne by Wei Chen!”

The emperor said solemnly: "Lin Yun, although I regard you as a friend, I am not ready to trust you with my life and property! When you say this, can I understand that you have ulterior motives?"
