Chapter 710 Shocking Remarks, Named Crown Prince and Taibao
However, what the emperor said just now was also to test Lin Yun's reaction.

If Lin Yun shows any timidity, he will look for an opportunity to take action if he misses tonight.

At this time, the emperor raised his head and laughed, raised his hand and said: "Okay! I just made a joke with you! Lin Qing's family doesn't need to take it seriously!"

Lin Yun nodded with a smile, clasped his fists and said, "Wei Chen knew it was a joke, so that's why he said this. Please don't blame me, Your Majesty!"

The monarch and his ministers clearly have hidden secrets, but because they are afraid of each other, they dare not really quarrel with each other.

But this dangerous conversation allowed the two of them to get what they wanted.

Regardless of whether Lin Yun was truly loyal, at least the emperor could still use him at this stage.

After Lin Yun learned that the emperor did not have the guts to turn against him, he felt confident.

At this time, the emperor said: "Can the Lin Qing family tell me their next attitude towards King Chu Jiang?"

Lin Yun was stunned for a moment, but then he realized what he meant. He clasped his fists and said, "The emperor's attitude is that of a humble minister! As long as it helps the country and the country, the humble minister will do his best!"

The emperor frowned and said: "Don't say these high-sounding empty words! I already know that you promised to provide weapons and equipment to King Chu Jiang! Don't you explain why you did this?"

Lin Yunhan said with a smile: "Of course it's to make money! Doesn't the Emperor know how rich King Chu Jiang's family is? He dares to openly threaten the court and even has thoughts of rebellion. He only relies on two things. First, he has money. But someone!"

"So, Wei Chen is only doing business with them on the surface, but actually he is trying to seize the Chu family's wealth!"

The emperor's eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up and sat on the grand master's chair next to Lin Yun, saying, "Oh? Tell me in detail! Lin Qing's family doesn't have to hide anything. Tell them all about your plan. As long as it is in the interest of the court, I will definitely support you!" "

Lin Yun nodded: "Your Majesty should know that the bamboo gun in the hands of Wei Chen has gradually become popular, right?"

Speaking of this matter, the emperor showed a hint of envy in his eyes: "Yes! Your Lin Yun family has a chicken that can lay golden eggs. Not to mention the vassals, even I am a little envious! However, you sell the bamboo gun Wouldn’t giving it to them help them gain strength?”

"Hey, your Majesty is wrong! A bamboo gun plus ammunition is a terrifying weapon. Otherwise, the bamboo gun is just a pile of scrap metal, sitting in a warehouse and gathering dust!"

"Weichen only gave them 3,000 bamboo guns this time, and that batch of ammunition has not been shipped yet!"

The emperor raised his finger and pointed at Lin Yun, and said with a evil smile: "You are really mean-spirited! So, you plan to only sell them bamboo guns and not give them ammunition?"

"Of course that's impossible! Ammunition still has to be sold, otherwise King Chu Jiang is not a fool. He may not react in a day or two, but he will definitely notice it after a long time! Wei Chen plans to let them dry for a while, and then sell them in large quantities. sell!"

"boom!"

Before I could finish speaking, the Emperor slapped his hand on the table and said angrily: "Are Lin Qing's family telling me a story? Or were they bribed by the five million taels of silver? You know that King Chu Jiang has strong soldiers and horses. If I were equipped with those weapons and equipment of yours, would you want my life?"

Lin Yun quickly knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, calm down! Please listen to what Wei Chen has to say! If the Emperor disagrees, then Wei Chen will definitely cut off contact with them!"

The emperor stared at him, his face softened slightly: "You continue!"

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen just said that the bamboo gun is just a tool, ammunition is the key! The reason why Wei Chen sold them ammunition is just to hope that the Chu family army can carry out military reform. Once the weapons and equipment provided by Wei Chen are armed in large quantities, It will be very difficult to quit in the future! Moreover, if the opponent wants to become combat effective, it will require a lot of training!”

"When one day King Chu Jiang really plans to take action against the imperial court, the ministers will be able to use ammunition to jam their necks! When the enemy is weak and we are strong, the Chu family will surely begin to collapse from within just like the Lin family did!"

The emperor stood up suddenly and looked at Lin Yun with a shocked expression.

That look was like meeting him for the first time. And exclaimed in his heart: "This Lin Yun is so terrible! He actually used his own advantages to this extent? What should I do if he uses it on me one day?"

Lin Yun looked up and saw his strange expression, and immediately comforted him: "Weichen is loyal to our Daduan Dynasty wholeheartedly, and he is even more loyal to the emperor! If the emperor doesn't believe it, Weichen is willing to use half of the silver he earns to fill the national treasury! To prove it! loyalty!"

The emperor sighed and said with a wry smile: "Lin Qing's family, you are really my lucky star! However, I am really frightened by your methods!"

Lin Yun bowed and said, "Everything I do is to share the emperor's worries. Please give me a clear warning!"

The emperor immediately helped him up. At this moment, Li Jing's heart changed.

He no longer dared to treat Lin Yun as an ordinary minister, let alone different from other powerful ministers.

"Okay! I believe you! What do you want me to reward you with?"

He was both happy and worried now.

I'm afraid that I can't suppress Lin Yun, but I hope to get Lin Yun's help, at least to make this plan to drain the firepower be implemented.

Once King Chujiang is fooled, the return of Chujiang County to the imperial court will be just around the corner, and Lin Yun must be the biggest contributor.

Lin Yunhan said with a smile: "Wei Chen hopes to become the foreman of the Military Aircraft Department! Only in this way can we serve the emperor better!"

It stands to reason that by reaching Lin Yun's current position, he has long since stopped pursuing power.

But he was smart and knew how to appease the emperor's suspicious heart.

If you don't want anything and overact, you will be suspected.

But as long as he asks for something, the emperor will feel that he can still control him. At least the emperor has something in his hands that interests Lin Yun.

If he doesn't want anything, the emperor will definitely think that he wants to seek his own throne.

Sure enough, the emperor showed a satisfied smile and nodded: "That's right! It just so happened that Meng Yuan, the Minister of Civil Affairs, was seriously injured this time and is no longer suitable to be the foreman of the Military Aircraft Department! This position will be given to Lin Qing's family! I will seal you again. The prince's guardian!"

Lin Yun was secretly happy, but before he could be happy, the smile on his face froze instantly, and he looked at the emperor meaningfully.

The emperor also looked at him with a half-smile.

Lin Yun secretly sighed in his heart that Li Jing would be damaged enough.

Balance has been played to the extreme.

The emperor had clearly asked Princess Fuyao to assist the second prince Li Daozong. Although Lin Yun was reluctant before, he accepted it.

But this time, he was given the title of Taibao of the Crown Prince, which was obviously for He Xini, and he was asked to assist the Crown Prince, so he would definitely not be able to deal with the Eight Wise Kings.

Moreover, if this matter spreads out, the second prince will also feel resentful towards him, at least he will no longer trust Lin Yun as much as before.

But at this moment, does Lin Yun dare to refuse?
