Chapter 777 Arrogant and domineering, the dragon shadow will stay and go

All the officials around looked at each other in confusion. No one expected that Ye Ruhui was actually a hawk and seemed to be very dissatisfied with Lin Yun's weak policy.

Soon, Chu Yin led a hundred-man envoys to arrive. After crossing the city moat bridge, they stopped at a distance and looked here.

In fact, they were a little unsure at the moment, fearing that if they entered the city rashly, they would be punished by Lin Yun.

He was already well-known, and all the vassal kings with different surnames knew that Lin Yun was moody. He might be polite now, but he would suddenly turn his back on him the next moment.

The court officials headed by Fulin'an and Ye Ruhui could clearly feel that although the Chu family's hundred-member delegation was small in number, it was still murderous.

Everyone frowned and stood ready, especially the most conspicuous bamboo gun hanging on their waist, which was the biggest deterrent.

Once they open fire, even if they are all killed, the capital will definitely pay a heavy price.

In the end, it was Fulin'an who took the lead to break the deadlock. He walked forward with a smile, clasped his fists and said, "This young master has an extraordinary talent. Could it be that he is Chu Yin, the second son of the Chu family? I am the Minister of Household Affairs, Fulin'an. You are so polite!"

Chu Yin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, clasped his fists and returned the salute: "It turns out to be Fuzhongtang, I have long admired your name! I was ordered to come here this time to take the Queen Mother home! I hope Fuzhongtang can help speak a fair word to the emperor!"

Fulin'an gently stroked his beard and said, "Hey, His Royal Highness has traveled all the way and is here on behalf of the King of Chu Jiang. The court should entertain him well. How about going to the city to recharge and discuss important matters another day?"

Chu Yin said jokingly: "Fu Zhongtang is known as the Prime Minister with a Thousand Faces, and when I saw him today, he certainly lived up to his reputation! In this case, I, the prince, would rather be respectful than obey his orders!"

Fulin'an nodded, turned around and shouted, "Where is the Minister of Rites?"

A middle-aged man squeezed out from the crowd. He had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and an extraordinary bearing.

His name is Lang Qian, he was once the general manager of the Jiaofang Department and a die-hard supporter of Fu Tianchen when he was the Minister of Rites. He turned over an unknown amount of money to the Fu family every year.

Later, Fu Tianchen inherited his father's political legacy, became the minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and used his connections to let Lang Qian take over his position as the Minister of Rites.

It can be considered that the good news does not flow to outsiders.

However, this Lang Qian is indeed outstanding in ability. In the past six months, he has been the one negotiating with the responsible persons in the capital of various vassal kings with different surnames.

Lang Qian said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness, I, Lang Qian, the Minister of Rites, have arranged everything in the VIP Building. Please lead your subordinates to have a rest!"

Chu Yin nodded and said: "Okay, then Lao Lang Shangshu will lead the way!"

Afterwards, Lang Qian got on his horse and led Chu Yin's hundred-man envoy into the city.

Ye Ruhui said solemnly: "Fuzhongtang, don't you think this summons is detrimental to the court's face? As people of King Chu Jiang, they should unload their weapons when they enter the capital and hand them over to the City Defense Department!"

Fulin'an said impatiently: "Hey, you old guy, can you stop being so troublesome? This is a diplomatic mission assigned by the Prince Regent. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can go to Prince Yun's Mansion to negotiate now! Also, do you think we ordered Will they agree to confiscate their weapons?”

After saying that, he walked away.

Ye Ruhui was left alone in a daze.

At the same time, Lin Yun took Zheng Li all the way to the Guoshiyuan.

Du Sheng, the chief and assistant minister, had been waiting for a long time. When he saw the two of them walking into the hall, Du Sheng immediately came forward to greet them and bowed.

"I am the Chief Assistant of the Imperial Academy and see the Regent!"

Lin Yun helped him up with a smile. "Mr. Du, you don't have to be polite! Although you were once Li Jing's staff, I admire your abilities very much, so I didn't reduce your official position!"

Du Sheng nodded and bowed: "With these words from the prince, I feel much more at ease! Please sit down quickly!"

He shifted his position, and Lin Yun was sitting on the Taishi chair.

"Mr. Du should be able to guess why the king came to visit in person this time, right?"

Du Sheng glanced at Zheng Li subconsciously and said, "Is the prince here because of Mr. Zheng's matter?"

"Yes! This boy has been with me for many years and has made great contributions, so I hope to give him a chance. Can Mr. Du train him for me?"

How smart Du Sheng was, he instantly heard the implication and said with a smile: "Of course! Hey, I'm old too. I don't think I can stay in this position for a few more years! If I can train a successor, I can It’s worthy of the imperial court’s trust over the years!”

It is said that he, Du Sheng, was once an emperor and a courtier. He supported Li Jing to sit on the throne for more than ten years. Now that the situation is over, it is time for him to retreat bravely.

Lin Yun was able to let him land safely, which made Du Sheng extremely grateful.

It stands to reason that from the moment Lin Yun placed Li Jing under house arrest in Jing Palace, he should have also dealt with him, Du Sheng.

But Lin Yun didn't harm anyone. The main reason was that he didn't want to leave a bad reputation. Secondly, he was worried that the political situation would be unstable and cause unnecessary trouble.

Lin Yun glanced sideways behind him and said, "It's advantageous. Why don't you thank Mr. Du for his cultivation? If you don't do well or are not qualified for the official duties of the National Academy of Sciences, even if you are my confidant, you will be severely punished!"

Zheng Li immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "I humbly obey my command!" Then he clasped his fists at Du Sheng and said, "Please give me more advice from Mr. Du in the future!"

Du Sheng nodded and quickly helped him up.

At this time, Lin Yun tentatively said: "Mr. Du, come and sit down! It just so happens that I have something else to ask for!"

Du Sheng smiled flatteringly: "Your Majesty, you are joking! If you have anything to say, just say it, I can't bear it!"

Lin Yun showed an intriguing smile: "Okay, you're welcome then! I want to know how many Dauchi Longying people are scattered in the country after Li Jing was placed under house arrest in Jing Palace?"

Du Sheng's heart skipped a beat. He knew very well how important Ouchi Ryūying was to Li Jing, and he also knew how much of a threat Ouchi Ryuying was to Lin Yun.

"this…"

"What? Isn't it convenient to answer?" Lin Yun looked at him meaningfully.

If Du Sheng didn't know what he was looking for, then Lin Yun wouldn't be able to spoil him anymore.

Lin Yun will never allow Ouchi Ryukage to continue to exist, even if it means killing people, he will not hesitate.

Du Sheng said awkwardly: "No... of course not! There are a total of 13,500 people in Ouchi Longying! They are lurking in every corner of the country, and even the thirty-six vassal kings with different surnames are under surveillance! If the prince plans to eliminate them all, it will be extremely difficult!"

Lin Yunyi raised his eyebrows: "Mr. Du is a smart man. He should know my true thoughts. He will never allow this uncontrolled hidden force to continue to develop in secret!"

Du Sheng immediately sat on the Grand Master's chair next to Lin Yun and asked tentatively: "What if the young man has the ability to make the great inner dragon shadows obey the prince's orders?"
