wealthy lord

Chapter 803 Rumors and courtiers gathered together

Lin Yunyi raised his eyebrows: "What is the news about me outside?"

"They...that is to say, the prince is moody and murders people without batting an eyelid..."

Lin Yun joked: "So, do you think this king really kills people without blinking an eye?"

"Your Majesty is definitely not a murderous demon, but he is indeed a little moody. His humble duty is to tell the truth. I hope you won't blame me!"

Lin Yun looked sideways at Yang Tiexin and said, "Mr. Yang also thinks that this king is moody?"

Yang Tiexin smiled awkwardly and lowered his head guiltily.

"No... Master Fourteen has always been very kind to me. Anyway, I don't think you are moody!"

A long time ago, whether it was Niubei Village or the Lin family, almost everyone who had dealt with Lin Yun had suffered from his moodiness.

Lin Yun shook his head helplessly. He could see that Shi Bao was a straightforward person, but Yang Tiexin obviously didn't mean what he said.

But he doesn't think that his moodiness is a shortcoming. As his status gets higher and higher, it may not be a good thing if he cannot intimidate the officials below.

The reason why Lin Yun was able to defeat Li Jing was because he was no longer afraid of him, and he had even seen through Li Jing.

Without awe, the emperor Li Jing would no longer be a deterrent.

Lin Yun is a living example. He has always wanted to be a rich man and live a good life.

But Naihe was forced to make a choice, and finally entered the officialdom step by step.

And to reach his current position, even if he has no ambition, the people who follow him will force him to rebel.

Whether it was the ladies, Zheng Lili, or even Qi Changyun and Fulinan, they were all secretly adding fuel to the flames.

The wheel of history is rolling forward and it is impossible to stop. It can only be said that everything is destined.

If he doesn't leave, then these powerful officials will help others to rebel, or they may also take this path themselves.

This is reality, this is the darkness of human nature.

It also taught Lin Yun a truth, that is, never do anything that is not in line with your own strength.

Li Jing usurped power and took the throne, but he never lived a good life.

The thirty-six vassal kings with different surnames were like sharp swords hanging above his head, and they might fall and kill him at any time.

Furthermore, after the internal fighting in the Li family, their vitality was severely damaged, resulting in Li Jing being unable to control several powerful officials under his command.

Therefore, he supported Lin Yun to ascend to the throne and tried to drive away the wolf and the tiger. Although he was relatively successful, he fell short in the end and suffered a backlash from Lin Yun, resulting in a complete defeat.

Lin Yun coughed lightly and said: "Mr. Yang, this bulletproof vest has basically been successful! But the alloy needs to be thickened. Although it is impossible not to have no injuries at all, I will treat this bulletproof vest as a luxury product in the future. When selling, we must improve our protective capabilities as much as possible!”

Yang Tiexin smiled bitterly and said: "The old man also wants to thicken the alloy, but this material is still too scarce. Niubei Village still has to mass-produce new weapons, and they are all stretched!"

Lin Yun said in a deep voice: "This is life-saving protective gear. Don't worry about the manufacturing cost. The high cost will not make it expensive in the future!"

"Okay, if the Fourteenth Master says this, I won't be polite!"

Lin Yun nodded: "Just give this bulletproof vest to me as a souvenir! You will always make another sample when you have time!"

With that said, he put it on directly on himself. On the side, Shi Bao said: "My lord, are you worried about the next negotiation with King Chu Jiang, so you wear it to nip it in the bud?"

Lin Yun praised: "General Shi is really smart, he guessed it right! Yes, although I am not afraid of King Chu Jiang, this old guy suffered a lot in my hands this time, and I am also afraid that he will jump over the wall in a hurry. , let’s go!”

Afterwards, they left the back garden at dawn.

When I returned to the door of the study, I saw a pavilion in the distance where several important court officials were waiting.

It was headed by Fulin'an, Baxianwang, Ye Ruhui and Qi Changyun.

Not far away, there were Lang Qian, the Minister of Rites, Xue Kai, the Minister of Punishments, and Hou Yong, the Minister of Works.

Seeing this scene, Shi Bao was secretly speechless.

Just pick anyone here, and his official position is much higher than his. Although he was named General Pingxi by Lin Yun, his position was only promoted, and his official position was only the second rank.

And these officials standing at the door of the study are all first-class officials.

All six ministers were present. Except for Qi Changyun, the admiral of the nine sects, the Eight Sages, the only member of the Li family, had the most special status.

In fact, everyone is a little uncomfortable facing the Eight Wise Kings now, and they are curious that since Li Jing is dead, why doesn't Lin Yun kill the Eight Wise Kings as well?
At this time, when everyone saw Lin Yun arriving, they immediately gathered around and knelt down on one knee.

"I'll wait to see the Prince Regent..."

Lin Yun smiled and said: "Why are you here? Don't you want to go to the morning court today?"

Everyone looked at each other and didn't dare to say anything.

The smile on Lin Yun's face disappeared and he said displeasedly: "What is going on? Eight Wise Kings, tell me!"

The Eighth Sage King cupped his fists and said, "That's it. The emperor announced yesterday that he will not go to court from now on. If you have anything to do, just ask everyone to come directly to Prince Yun's Mansion to ask for a report!"

The corner of Lin Yun's mouth turned up, and he nodded: "Okay! It seems that the death of the late emperor has made the emperor not in a good mood recently, so let him rest for a while!"

At this time, Qi Changyun suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zheng of the Guoshiyuan just sent a message to the Xiaolao Infantry Command Yamen, saying that the old prince was assassinated in the East Palace last night, and the murderer has been caught. He is Lin Zixiang, the Minister of Household Affairs!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked and subconsciously looked at Lin Yun.

Except for Fulin'an and Qi Changyun who knew the inside story, everyone else believed that Lin Zixiang was still Lin Yun's man, and it must have been Lin Yun's idea to assassinate the old prince.

Lin Yun suddenly realized: "Oh, you almost forgot about me if you didn't mention him! Where is Lin Zixiang?"

Xue Kai, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, cupped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, Lin Zixiang has been sent to the Prison of the Ministry of Punishment. Do you think...should he be released?"

Lin Yunyi raised his eyebrows: "Why let him go? Although Li Daozhen is the old prince, he is also the son of the late emperor. Such a big thing must be dealt with strictly! In addition, I forgot to mention that although Lin Zixiang was promoted by me at the beginning Yes, but even if this king’s cronies commit a crime, he cannot be forgiven! He will be punished according to the laws of the Daduan Dynasty. He will be killed if he deserves it, and he will be punished if he deserves punishment! "

"I humbly obey my orders!"

Xue Kai looked confused and quickly accepted the order with his fists clasped.

"One more thing. A few days ago, the eighth prince's wife, Meng Zhiyi, went to the Ministry of Punishment Prison to pick up Meng Yuan with a document given by the prince..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Eight Wise King became furious: "Nonsense! I divorced Meng Zhiyi long ago. Now she is not my wife, but the regent's concubine!"
