Chapter 616 Shocked the government and the public, reactions from all parties

Zheng Li protected the second prince because he was afraid that Lin Yun would be targeted by the emperor.

Lin Yun forced a smile and helped Zheng Li up.

"Okay! Don't mention this matter again! Let's find a way out of Longxia Pass first!"

In this extreme environment, even if the capital sends assassins, they can't get in at all, so they don't have to worry about being ambushed.

But without their horses, everyone could only go on foot.

Coupled with yesterday's torment, everyone is already exhausted physically and mentally. This is a major test for everyone.

Three days passed in a flash.

In the royal palace, in the royal study.

Meng Yuan, the Eight Wise Kings, the Fifth Prince, and Fu Tianchen are all here.

Everyone had their own thoughts and kept their heads down in silence.

The team led by Lin Yun has been missing for many days.

The emperor looked at the secret fold in his hand and threw it hard on the dragon table.

He shouted: "Who sent this discount?"

Several people looked at each other. At this time, the Eighth Sage King said: "It was sent by Qi Changyun, the admiral of the Nine Sects! It was said that on the day Lin Zhongtang left the capital, he appeared at a post station thirty miles away from the capital. After that, they entered Longxia Pass , is missing! The infantry commander’s office has sent personnel to search and rescue him at Longxia Pass!”

As soon as these words came out, only the corner of the fifth prince's mouth curled up, but he controlled his emotions after a second thought.

To the people present, Lin Yun had long been a thorn in their side. They originally sent people to ambush him, but they didn't expect that before they could take action, they encountered a natural disaster.

This result is definitely great news for them.

If Lin Yun died from a natural disaster, they would be relieved.

Effortlessly, he killed such a powerful enemy.

Then, the situation in the court changed.

Meng Yuan and Fu Tianchen, on the other hand, were silent. Lin Yun encountered a natural disaster and his hope of survival was very slim.

Therefore, they do not need to make any statement, just wait for the final decision.

"boom!"

The emperor slapped the dragon case hard, raised his eyes and glanced at everyone, and said in a cold voice: "I put my words down now. No matter whether Lin Zhongtang is alive or dead, I want to see people alive or dead! In addition, I also advise everyone..."

Everyone looked up suddenly and saw the emperor staring at them with sinister eyes, which frightened everyone so much that they dared not breathe.

Although the emperor only said half a sentence, his attitude was already very clear.

It was a warning to a few of them. This was unprecedented.

It also made them aware of the seriousness of this incident.

Although Lin Yun has only been in the cabinet for a few months, his influence is unprecedented. Once he dies, the court will definitely be shaken.

Meng Yuan and others immediately knelt on the ground and shouted: "I obey the order!!"

Afterwards, everyone stood up and left.

The emperor sighed and murmured: "Lin Yun, you must come back alive!"

In the emperor's chessboard, Lin Yun is a very important chess piece. Once he dies, it will affect the overall situation.

It may even cause some things hidden in the dark to happen in advance.

At this time, the emperor said loudly: "Here comes someone!"

Cao Shaoqing, the eunuch in charge, immediately walked into the hall.

"What are your orders, Your Majesty?" "Inform Qi Changyun, the admiral of the Nine Sects, to come and see you!"

Half an hour later, Qi Changyun arrived belatedly and immediately knelt down and saluted.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

The emperor said solemnly: "Get up and speak!"

"According to the order!"

Qi Changyun stood up with a heavy look on his face.

He finally made up his mind and chose to seek refuge with Lin Yun, but he did not expect that Lin Yun would encounter a natural disaster at Longxi Pass earlier.

This made him very depressed and made him even more worried about the future of the Qi family.

If Lin Yun is really dead, then he must react as soon as possible, otherwise when those princelings are ready, the Qi family will become meat on the chopping board.

Therefore, he cared more about Lin Yun's life and death than anyone else and had already sent a large number of manpower to search Longxia Pass.

The emperor picked up the zhezi on the table and threw it directly on the ground, saying, "Is this zhezi sent by you?"

Qi Changyun quickly picked it up and nodded: "Yes!"

"Hmph! What you mean is that you think Lin Zhongtang has been killed?"

"No! Your Majesty, this is not what I meant! I just sent manpower to investigate and found many corpses of the soldiers accompanying Lin Zhongtang! But I didn't find the whereabouts of Lin Zhongtang and the second prince! I just wanted the emperor to find out the whereabouts as soon as possible. Get the news!”

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Qi Changyun, it seems that you are old and confused! Or do you think I am a fool?"

"I don't dare! I'm guilty!"

With that said, Qi Changyun knelt on the ground with a thud.

"Don't you dare? Do you think that I don't know anything about your little thoughts? It's really the wind that blows both sides!"

Every word of the emperor was like a steel needle piercing Qi Changyun's sensitive and suspicious heart.

The emperor continued: "You go back and write a new memorial now! Then announce the news! Just say that although Lin Zhongtang and the second prince were seriously injured, their lives are not in danger! They have been secretly sent to Liuyun Villa to recuperate!"

Qi Changyun was shocked, raised his head suddenly and said, "What does the emperor mean by this?"

The emperor walked down the stage with his hands behind his back and said: "Don't understand? Okay, I'll tell you, if the news of Lin Zhongtang's death spreads, the Lin family vassal king of Fengyang County will definitely stab the imperial court in the back immediately! Moreover, the imperial court will also It will cause a big shock! When the situation is out of control, unexpected accidents will happen! "

Only then did Qi Changyun suddenly realize, clasping his fists and saying: "Your Majesty is wise! It's the old minister who is confused!"

The emperor sighed: "I know that Mr. Qi and Lin Zhongtang have been friends for many years, so I will leave this matter to you! Don't let me down, let alone have any wrong ideas! This is a critical moment, if something unexpected happens, I It’s unbearable, and it’s equally unbearable for your Qi family!”

Qi Changyun was so frightened that he trembled and kowtowed.

"Go down and do some work, kneel down!"

After that, Qi Changyun bowed three times and kowtowed nine times before standing up and leaving.

The back of his official robe was soaked with cold sweat, and he never dreamed that Lin Yun's life and death would invisibly affect the fate of the Daduan Dynasty.

It’s scary to think about how a powerful minister can influence a country.

On the other side, the two princes and Meng Yuan came to Prince Xian's mansion immediately after leaving the palace.

After a few people sat down, the fifth prince raised his head and laughed: "Haha! It seems that even God is helping us this time! That Lin Yun has done many unjust things, and it seems that he is dead this time! It's just that I couldn't witness it with my own eyes His body is such a pity!”

The Eight Wise Kings and Meng Yuan looked at each other and sneered inwardly.

In their opinion, the Fifth Prince's character, which is so ambitious about success, will cause big problems sooner or later.

Of course, if the Fifth Prince was a very shrewd person, they would not involve him in the group.

The Eighth Sage King said in a deep voice: "Okay! Fifth brother, don't be too happy! Lin Yun is just missing now, and he is not sure whether he is alive or dead! You'd better keep a low profile. Didn't you hear the emperor's warning just now?"
