Chapter 708 Lin Yun speaks eloquently, and the king and his ministers play chess

Lin Yun walked into the hall with a smile, knelt directly on the ground, and shouted: "Your Majesty...Lin Yun, see the Emperor, long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

The emperor still had his back to him, and slowly opened his eyes. He still had a string of Buddhist beads on his left hand, and said in a deep voice: "Lin Qing's family, please wait a moment for me to finish reciting this scripture!"

The emperor didn't let him get up, so Lin Yun could only continue to crawl on the ground. This could be regarded as a threat to him.

The three women outside the palace also looked nervous. The emperor changed from his normal behavior and became extremely cold, which made them all uneasy.

Only Yuchifeng stood sideways at the door of the store, lowering his head and looking at his nose and heart.

With his understanding, he naturally knew what the emperor meant, but in this situation, he did not dare to speak nonsense.

After about half a stick of incense, the emperor finally finished. He slowly turned around and glanced at Lin Yun who was kneeling on the ground. There were complex emotions in his eyes, including anger and doubt, but mostly murderous intent.

However, the moment he looked into Lin Yun's eyes, all the emotions disappeared instantly. He put on a smiling face and said: "Lin Qing's family is exempt from courtesy, come and sit down!"

As he said that, the emperor took the lead and sat on the dragon chair next to him. His arrogant aura made few people outside the palace dare to raise their heads.

Lin Yun stood up and said respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me a seat!"

After that, he sat on a chair nearby.

At this moment, the originally open palace door was suddenly closed by two Ouchi guards.

The lights in the hall gradually dimmed.

There was only a lamp on the table next to the emperor, and the shadow cast by the lampshade just fell on the ground in front of Lin Yun. It turned out to be a golden Arhat with a weird posture, as if he was in a fighting posture towards Lin Yun.

Lin Yun saw this and sighed inwardly.

He understood that the emperor had come up with so many details, which was obviously to put pressure on him.

The light shining on the emperor is a warning to Lin Yun to abandon darkness and turn to light, while the reflection on the ground is a warning to Lin Yun that if he is not satisfied tonight, Lin Yun will die.

"Your Majesty, I wonder why you asked me to come so late?"

The emperor raised his hand to roll up his sleeves and asked, "Does Lin Qing's family still not know what happened?"

Lin Yun took a deep breath, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, you might as well say it directly if you have something to do. There is no need to set up this Dragon Gate Formation for the humble minister!"

"Hmph, Lin Yun, you are so brave! It's just you and me here, no outsiders! Tell me the truth, why did you plant landmines in my home? Do you want to kill the king?"

These days have been like a year for the emperor.

Lin Yun's mines not only frightened the civil and military officials of the court, but also kept the emperor awake at night.

Every time he closed his eyes, he was afraid that he would never wake up again.

Li Jing was not afraid of others, only the weapons in Lin Yun's hands.

You can quietly arrange for people to bury the mines in the palace, and next time you can bury them directly under his dragon throne.

Lin Yunhan said with a smile: "Wei Chen also heard about the explosion in the palace a few days ago! However, is the emperor willing to believe that this matter has nothing to do with Wei Chen?"

"Hmph, you think I'm a three-year-old? Are you stupid for staying in the palace? Lin Yun, I admit that you are very courageous and very capable! But don't forget that this Daduan Dynasty belongs to me. World! You are a minister and you should be loyal to your father! But you do this in secret? "

Lin Yun sighed: "Your Majesty, there is something you may not know. About last month, a batch of weapons and equipment was stolen in Niubei Village, including landmines! Wei Chen wasted a lot of money just to investigate this matter. Time! There is an accident in the palace this time, and Wei Chen is also very scared, but this must be framed by evil people to sow discord between us."

"I would like to say something treasonous again, Wei Chen. In today's court, apart from Wei Chen, there is no one else who can cure the emperor's heart ailment! If the emperor kills me, it will only make his relatives angry and his enemies happy!" The emperor's face was ashen. , I didn’t expect Lin Yun to be so eloquent and refuse to admit the matter before him.

The emperor smiled contemptuously: "Oh? In that case, you wasted so much time, but can you investigate which force stole that batch of weapons and equipment?"

Lin Yun's eyes flashed: "King Chujiang of Chujiang County!"

Even though the emperor had been prepared for it, he was still startled by Lin Yun's remarks, and he stood up suddenly.

"impossible!!"

Lin Yun said in a deep voice: "Nothing is impossible! It is said that ordinary people are not guilty of the crime of harboring the jade. It is normal for Wei Chen to hold such a powerful weapon in his hands and be remembered by others! Previously, Chujiang County sent people to have a private meeting with Wei Chen , I believe that based on the emperor's methods, they should have known it! It was because Weichen found out the source that they had no choice but to send someone to win over Weichen! But Weichen was loyal to the emperor and refused! "

"But in order to stabilize them, Wei Chen took it upon himself to make the decision and agreed to some conditions for them! When I return to Beijing this time, I really plan to report the matter to the emperor! I didn't expect... eh!"

Lin Yun was making up lies now without blushing and his heart skipping a beat. In the end, he almost believed it himself.

But it’s okay if he doesn’t say so.

The emperor has shown his cards, and he is unprepared now, and has no reason to take action.

If they fail to pass tonight's test, their family will not be able to see the sun tomorrow.

The emperor frowned, still thinking about the credibility of Lin Yun's words. He secretly regretted not being able to bring Du Sheng.

With this old man here, he would be able to easily see whether Lin Yun was lying.

The emperor's expression softened slightly and he said in a deep voice: "So, Chu Yin, sent by King Chu Jiang, gave you five million taels of silver notes?"

Lin Yun's heart skipped a beat, sighing secretly at his own wit, the emperor indeed knew it.

"Yes!"

"Lin Qing's family, don't be angry with me! I feel uncomfortable when such a vicious incident happens! After all, you were betrayed by the most trusted person! However, what you said is unfounded, how can you win my trust? "

Lin Yun knew he would say this and said with a smile: "The person behind this incident is none other than the fifth prince Li Zhen who was let go by the emperor!"

The emperor secretly gritted his teeth and clenched the armrests on both sides of the dragon chair with both hands.

What Lin Yun said happened to coincide with the information he had, and completely filled up his doubts.

Although the emperor still didn't trust him, he couldn't find anything wrong with him and could only stare at Lin Yun with a dark face.

However, he still had a doubt in his heart. If Lin Yun was not responsible for the explosion in the palace, were the four identified prisoners really sent by King Chu Jiang?
"Your Majesty, I have something that I don't understand. Please help me clear it up!"

"Lin Qing's family just says it's okay!"

"Since the Emperor deprived the Fifth Prince of his throne before, why didn't he kill him directly? Why did he let him go? You know that he will not be willing to accept it..."

When mentioning this matter, the emperor sighed: "Do you think I am merciful and soft-hearted? Ridiculous! I wish I could stab him in the bones and raise ashes, but someone intercedes on his behalf. Even if I hate him to the core, I can only compromise!"

Lin Yunyi raised his eyebrows: "Is she the current Queen Mother?"

The emperor's pupils shrank and he said in surprise: "You...how did you know?"
