Chapter 719: Controlling the Eight Wise Kings

"Lin Zhongtang, if he breaks into my territory privately, I will kill him now! But if you arranged it, I can give you a favor and spare his life!"

Lin Yun raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Oh? Why do I have such a big reputation now? It's really not easy to make the dignified Eighth Prince bow his head!"

"So, Xiang Chong was really arranged by you to go to Pei County to disgust me?"

"Of course not! To be honest, I don't know about the existence of Pei County at all. It's just a surprise attack! But this time he is indeed rushing to protect Xiang. The Eighth Prince should already know that the people chasing him are the Chu family. Army?"

"Hmph! Lin Zhongtang's trick is to kill someone with a borrowed sword, which made me offend King Chu Jiang in a daze! However, I will not suffer the loss of being dumb!"

Lin Yun chuckled and said: "Hey, the Eighth Prince has never heard of a saying, "Suffering a loss is a blessing? I will help you this time!"

The Eighth Sage King sarcastically said: "You are asking me to suffer a loss, but you are still helping me? It's not enough for you to collude with King Chu Jiang in private, why do you have to support me?"

His news had fallen behind, and he had no idea that the details of Lin Yun's conversation with the emperor last night had changed the imperial court's next national policy.

The smile on Lin Yun's face gradually solidified, and he said in a deep voice: "Believe it or not, if you dare to secretly send someone to Chujiang County, the emperor will immediately order to deprive you of the throne. By then, I am afraid that the Eighth Prince will not have Li Zhen." Such a good life!”

The Eight Wise Kings secretly gritted their teeth and looked at him resentfully.

After fighting in secret for so long, the Eight Wise Kings knew that they had finally lost.

He let out a long sigh and said: "Lin Zhongtang, I admit defeat! I still hope that you can be noble and let me go!"

Lin Yun looked at him and nodded: "Okay! There isn't much grudge between us to begin with! As long as the Eighth Prince is willing to let go of his prejudices, we will still be good friends!"

The Eight Wise Kings looked at him with a complicated expression.

"When did Lin Zhongtang become so talkative? Could he be digging a hole for me to jump into?"

"Hey, it doesn't make sense for the Eighth Prince to say that! I came here with sincerity this time! Moreover, I heard from Mr. Qi that the Eighth Prince also intends to seek peace. Could it be that they are all fake?"

The Eighth Sage King immediately sat up, put on his court boots, and said: "Lin Zhongtang, this is not the place to talk. Let's find a quiet place, please..."

Lin Yun smiled and nodded before following him and leaving.

The Eight Wise Kings were suddenly so enthusiastic, and it was Lin Yun who heard the implication. In order to understand the situation as quickly as possible, he could only lower his body.

As soon as the guest of honor sat down, a maid served him tea.

Both of them are big shots in the court, and they each bowed their heads to sip tea.

Xiang Chong was standing behind Lin Yun. He knew very well where he was now. Whether he could board Lin Yun's ship depended on his performance today.

At this time, the Eight Wise King looked at him sideways and said, "Didn't Lin Zhongtang just say that suffering a loss is a blessing? Can you explain a few things? Let me understand it clearly?"

Lin Yun put down the tea cup with a smile and suddenly said: "I had a lot of talk with the emperor last night at Wangyue Villa! Especially the matter of King Chu Jiang has become the emperor's heart problem! If nothing else happens, the emperor will focus on Chu Jiang in the next step. Prince Jiang! The Eighth Prince said, is it a blessing to suffer a loss this time?”

"boom!"

The Eighth Sage King put the tea cup in his hand on the table and said displeasedly: "What kind of blessing is this? Lin Yun, although I don't know what you said to the emperor to make the emperor suddenly change his mind, but I warn you, don't change your mind." Hit me on the head! Don’t worry about my family background!”

Lin Yun smiled and said: "So, the Eight Sages are also planning to join King Chu Jiang and go against the court?" "Nonsense! I have no intention of participating in this fight at all!"

If it were an ordinary vassal king, the Eight Wise Kings wouldn't care, but the Chu family's roots were very deep in the court, and participating in this matter would be tantamount to offending the Queen Mother. He would definitely not do such a stupid thing.

Moreover, this was obviously a trap carefully prepared by Lin Yun for himself, and the Eight Wise Kings were naturally very repulsive.

Lin Yun sarcastically said: "Don't participate? Even an outsider like me can't stay out of the matter. As a member of the clan, doesn't the Eighth Prince feel ashamed to say this? Moreover, in the eyes of the current emperor, everything is black and white. There is no gray area! Therefore, the Eighth Prince had better think carefully! It’s okay for you to complain in front of me, but if the emperor knows this, then..."

On the side, Xiang Chong looked at Lin Yun with admiration and sighed inwardly. If the fifth prince was half as smart as Lin Yun, he would not be out of the game early despite holding a good hand.

Lin Yun's words were very powerful. He directly stood on the emperor's side and accused the Eight Wise Kings.

It would be politically incorrect for him to refuse.

Lin Yunhui directly pinched the Eight Sage King's pigtails. Whether he wanted to trick him or not depended on his mood.

The Eight Sage King's face was livid, he grabbed Lin Yun's collar and glared at him.

Lin Yun was not afraid, and still smiled brightly. He first looked down at the collar that was being grabbed, and said absently: "Eighth Prince, you have to think carefully! I don't mean to trick you, I just don't want you to leave. Wrong way! Among the old people, I admired you the most, and our relationship has always been good! Although there were some minor frictions, it was not a problem! "

The Eighth Sage King stared at him with a complicated expression and said, "Lin Yun, can you tell me what's on your mind? Did you ask the emperor to grant you the title of Crown Prince and Taibao?"

Lin Yun said with a smile: "Is this important?"

"Of course it's important! You know, I have always stood by the prince for so many years! If you are willing to give up, we will still be friends in the future!"

Lin Yun forcefully broke away from his hand, threw his head back and laughed.

"Ha ha!"

The Eight Wise Kings frowned and said, "Is it so funny? Why are you laughing?"

"I laugh at your ignorance, and even more at your stupidity! Didn't you, the Eight Wise Kings, call themselves Kaleidoscope before? Why have you become so timid now?"

Immediately, Lin Yun regained his seriousness and said sternly: "To tell you the truth, I don't want to be given the title of some bullshit crown prince and Taibao! This is just imposed on me by the emperor. The Eighth Prince should be able to guess the specific reason. ?”

Only then did the Eight Wise Kings suddenly realize and murmured: "Does Fourth want us to continue fighting?"

Lin Yun sneered and said, "The Eighth Prince has finally come to his senses?"

Xiang Chong on the side was already dumbfounded.

Although he did not follow Lin Yun to Wangyue Villa to meet the emperor last night, he could feel how dangerous the negotiations last night were through just a few words.

It can be said that if Lin Yun's reaction had been slower, he might have died at Wangyue Villa last night.

They say that the Sacred Heart is unpredictable, and that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Only those who have experienced it can understand the dangers involved.
