Chapter 594: The emperor’s worries drive away wolves and devoured tigers
Therefore, Lin Yun and Fu Tianchen were deliberately promoted to the top for the sake of balance, so that they could become enemies and oppose each other.

This way, if something happens, you can react immediately.

But if Lin Yun is given more power, this balance will be broken.

Lin Yun frowned and said, "The emperor plans to discuss with the Eight Wise Kings and others?"

The emperor snorted coldly: "Lin Yun! You are too presumptuous! Do I still need to inform you about my decision?"

Lin Yun bowed and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me! I simply feel that your current security is not enough!"

"Okay! I promise you, I will give you an answer after I think it over carefully! I will not discuss it with the Eight Wise Kings and others! Can you rest assured about this?"

The emperor was so shrewd that he had already sensed the danger in Lin Yun's unusual reaction.

Although Lin Yun's true attitude is still uncertain, at least it seems that he is sincerely considering his safety.

Lin Yun nodded: "Nothing's wrong, I'll leave first!"

The emperor said in a deep voice: "Stop! I almost made you angry! I have already thought clearly about what we talked about last time! Are you sure that the military expenditure of three million taels of silver is enough to cover the entire border of Fengyang County?"

Lin Yun's eyes lit up: "Sure! If it's not enough, the Lin family will make up for the excess! Your Majesty, you can rest assured!"

"Okay! This is what you said! I have one last condition, can Lin Zhongtang satisfy it?"

The emperor looked at him with interest.

Lin Yun cupped his fists and said, "The emperor wants to summon the skilled craftsmen under his command, right?"

The emperor said playfully: "Lin Zhongtang is indeed a smart man! Yes, I am very curious whether the skilled craftsman under your boy is really talented! He is actually so capable!"

Lin Yun curled his lips and said: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen has already arranged for his subordinates to go to Beijing to report on their duties! However, you can't poach Wei Chen!"

"Haha! You, Lin Zhongtang, are so talented. If you train other skilled craftsmen in the future, I will treat you as a favor to you!"

"Your Majesty, I can send people to help the imperial court cultivate skilled craftsmen in the military field, but I cannot give people to the imperial court!"

Yang Tiexin was a technical talent he had carefully cultivated, and he was naturally reluctant to lose him.

What's more, Lin Yun has no intention of cultivating talents step by step now. He also hopes to keep Yang Tiexin under his command and let Yang Tiexin help him cultivate more available talents.

The emperor already knew that he would not agree, so he nodded and smiled: "Okay! This is what you said! I am waiting for you to help my Daduan Dynasty cultivate talents in this field!"

Lin Yun cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Well! I have already said hello to that boy Fu Tianchen. Lin Zhongtang can just go directly to the Ministry of Household Affairs to receive the three million military pay!"

"Yes! Wei Chen has resigned!" The emperor looked at Lin Yun's leaving figure, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and said in a deep voice: "Du Sheng, you can come out now!"

The door on one side was opened, and Du Sheng walked out respectfully.

"Did you hear what Lin Yun mentioned just now? Tell me what you think!"

Du Sheng was the chief minister of the Academy of Scholars and a close confidant of the emperor. Even the Eight Sages and other powerful officials did not know the relationship between Du Sheng and the emperor.

The emperor did not inherit the throne in line, but succeeded to the throne by killing his second brother. Therefore, how could he really feel free to let those people mess around.

Du Sheng cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, Lin Zhongtang probably knows the secret!"

The emperor chuckled and said, "So, Lin Yun is truly loyal to me? But why didn't he tell me directly when he knew about the existence of the princeling?"

Du Sheng thought for a moment and said: "The old minister thinks that Lin Zhongtang is probably trying to protect himself, and this matter is the emperor's family matter. It is not convenient for him as a minister to speak openly! Moreover, the matter has not been exposed, and he cannot talk nonsense. ! Otherwise, he will definitely be jealous of the emperor. Moreover, the Eighth Master and the Fifth Master are very powerful, and Lin Zhongtang, as a new powerful official, probably does not want to offend them too early! "

"Hmph! What you said makes sense! But Lin Yun is quite scheming and wants to take advantage of the opportunity to form a power structure controlled by him and Qi Changyun! I have to guard against it!"

"The fact that Lin Zhongtang has this idea is enough to show that he and Ba Ye and his gang are not the same! So the emperor can do a favor to satisfy Lin Zhongtang's idea! When the time comes, Ba Ye and Wu Ye will definitely hold grudges, so let them The secret fight can weaken the power of the princelings, and the emperor can control Lin Yun and be the final winner! "

The emperor sighed: "Having said that, Lin Yun is not an easy person to control! I don't want to train another Fulin'an!"

"Your Majesty's words are wrong! If Lin Yun is a jackal, those princelings are man-eating tigers. Your Majesty can just drive away the wolves and devour the tigers! As for Qi Changyun, who is getting closer and closer to Lin Zhongtang, based on my understanding, Qi Changyun is brave but not brave. There is nothing to fear about the conspiracy! He clearly knew about the existence of the princelings, but he neither participated in it nor reported it to the emperor. He clearly wanted to take advantage of the situation! "

The emperor snorted coldly: "You are right! But what I hate most in my life is this kind of wallflower! It seems that Qi Changyun is old and actually thinks that I can't fight them!"

Du Sheng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Your Majesty, now is not the time for reckoning. Maybe in a few years, when the prince grows up and becomes sensible, he will be able to distinguish right from wrong, and maybe he will stay away from those powerful officials!"

"Okay, I will make my own decision regarding the prince's affairs! Don't say any more! It's best if you pay more attention to Lin Yun recently so you can see his true intentions clearly!"

From the emperor's perspective, he would not completely believe Lin Yun.

What if Lin Yun was fighting with the princelings on the surface, but secretly he was also eyeing the throne, wouldn't the emperor be trapped in a cocoon?
All along, in the emperor's heart, Lin Yun was a useful talent, but he must also be on guard and must not be careless.

Lin Fengjiao was so powerful at the beginning that the court was helpless, but she died in Lin Yun's hands in the end. For this reason alone, the emperor would never dare to look down on her.

Du Sheng immediately knelt on the ground, cupped his fists and said, "Old minister, I accept the order!"

The brief conversation between their monarch and his ministers revealed the danger of this battle.

Even a lowly person like Qi Changyun was resented by the emperor, which showed that the princelings would never end well in the future.

It can also be indirectly seen that Li Jing's ability to sit on the throne is not a coincidence, but a real ability.
