wealthy lord

Chapter 822 Qi Rui becomes king, exchange of interests

Qi Changyun's smile suddenly froze on his face, and he asked in surprise: "Is it him? Your lord, is it Li Chun who asked the lord to speak?"

He didn't agree with his daughter and Li Chun being together because the age difference between them was too big.

Secondly, knowing that the late emperor Li Jing wanted to rectify the officialdom prevented Qi Changyun from getting too close to the royal family.

But now, as the Li family's empire was about to fall into Lin Yun's hands, he was even more unwilling to accept it.

If Li Chun harbors evil intentions and attempts to seek revenge on Lin Yun in the future, he will not only harm the Qi family, but also ruin his daughter's lifelong happiness.

Lin Yun coughed lightly: "I haven't met Li Chun yet! It's just..."

He was also embarrassed to say that he maintained a matchmaking relationship just to please and win over Li Chun.

If it hadn't been for this matter, Lin Yun wouldn't have promoted Qi Rui to a higher position or made him a king just now, just to make amends for this matter.

Seeing Lin Yun's hesitant expression, Qi Changyun finally understood and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, I only have one daughter like this, and I have always loved and protected her. Even if you are not a father yet, you should be able to understand this." Is that how the official feels? Then Li Chun is not a normal person at all. Back then, he wanted to avenge the third son of the emperor. Later, when the late emperor Li Jing ascended the throne, in order to make up for his mistakes, he made him the clan official. But after so many years, He is still brooding about what happened back then. His Majesty asked his daughter to be with him, but I was absolutely unwilling..."

Qi Changyun did not dare to refuse directly, but his attitude was already obvious, he hoped that Lin Yun could take back his life.

Lin Yun sighed: "Master Qi, do you know why I want to get involved in this matter?"

Qi Changyun pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "The prince wants to take the opportunity to win over Li Chun, and then control the clan house, so that it will be easier to deal with the Li family's clan members! But with the prince's current status, do you still need to go to such trouble? Just look for him All these reasons can make Li Chun die without a burial place!"

"Hey, if only it were that simple! Do you know how many pairs of eyes in the court are watching my every move? In addition, Mr. Qi should know how good the relationship between my fourth wife and Li Chun is, right?"

"Master Qi, even if I can't help you Qi family this time! It's still a favor for me, okay?"

Qi Changyun's expression was gloomy and uncertain. After thinking for a while, he lowered his head unwillingly.

He did not dare to refuse. The Qi family had already boarded Lin Yun's ship. Although Lin Yun had not yet proclaimed himself emperor, the power he exercised now was imperial power.

Moreover, Lin Yun had just given him a step up, directly promoted his second son to a noble rank, and made many promises. It turned out that all these benefits came at a price.

"Since the prince has said so, even if the official is unwilling, he has no choice but to accept it!"

Looking at his bitter face, Lin Yun said in a deep voice: "As far as I know, Lord Qi's daughter seems to have always had a good relationship with Li Chun, right? If they can get together, they can be considered to be in love!"

"Yes! If it hadn't been like this, Xianguan wouldn't have sent that girl back to his old house in Mucheng. Hey, it seems like it's all about fate!"

Lin Yun stood up, came to him, and patted his shoulder.

"This time, I owe you a favor to the Qi family. I will repay it if I have the opportunity in the future!"

Qi Changyun breathed a long sigh of relief and immediately regained his smile. He understood that Lin Yun was moody and he was talking about this. If he still held it, he would offend others and it would be more harm than good.

"My lord, don't say that! You have already shown enough love to our Qi family! It's too late for me to be grateful. How could I ask for so much just for a daughter..."

At this time, Fulinan's voice came from outside the tent.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report!"

Lin Yun said in a deep voice: "Come in!"

Immediately afterwards, Fulinan and other officials walked in. "What happened again? Is it Chujiang County?"

Fulin'an looked serious and said: "Prince Qi, we just came from 800 miles away from the capital! The Eight Sage Kings took advantage of the regent to come to Tongshan Pass for negotiations, and actually tried to take Yu Chifeng away who was under house arrest in the VIP Building. Fortunately, the prince arranged it The guards who monitored the VIP building were so powerful that they couldn’t let him succeed!”

Lin Yun smiled contemptuously: "Li Mu, you can't help it after all!"

Everyone looked at each other, thinking that Lin Yun would be very angry when he got the news, but looking at this attitude, it seemed that they had expected it.

Fulinan probed: "Did the prince already know that this would happen?"

"Okay! You all can sit wherever you like!"

As he spoke, he picked up the teacup and sipped the tea with a smile.

Everyone sat down and looked directly at Lin Yun, waiting for his next attitude.

At this time, Zheng Li said: "Fourteenth Master, should we return to Beijing immediately?"

"Don't worry! Let the bullets fly for a while..."

Fulin'an said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the Eight Wise Kings are clearly deliberately causing trouble this time and want to divert our energy from negotiating with King Chu Jiang. Since the matters here have been resolved, why are we still waiting?"

Du Sheng gently stroked his beard and smiled mysteriously: "Fuzhong Hall, please be patient. The regent wants the news here to gradually spread back to the capital and reach the ears of various vassals with different surnames! Let's see their reactions first. Then make your next move!”

Everyone suddenly realized this and looked at Lin Yun with admiration.

Everything that had just happened at Suolongmen had made them fall in love with Lin Yun. Facing so many guns from the Chu family, they could still talk and laugh without fear. This alone was not something they could do.

Moreover, Lin Yun's methods were endless, and he killed King Chu Jiang in his first confrontation, which was an eye-opener for everyone.

And after achieving such a glorious and proud achievement, Lin Yun was still able to calmly analyze and deal with the subsequent chain reactions, which is not something ordinary people can achieve.

You must know that Lin Yun is still a young man under thirty years old. If he develops in this way, the heights he can reach in the future will definitely be unprecedented and unprecedented.

At this time, Lin Yun said: "Okay! I will not return to the capital for the time being! Qi Changyun Qirui obeys the order..."

The father and son looked at each other and immediately stood up and knelt down on one knee.

"You and your son are leaving for the capital immediately! Keep an eye on the capital for me! Especially every move of the Eight Wise Kings must be monitored. In addition, Li Mu is not allowed to leave the capital without my permission!"

"I obey your orders!" Qi Changyun clasped his fists and accepted the orders, then suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Yun.

"Your Majesty, what about what you just said you wanted to confer the title of Rui'er on..."

As soon as these words came out, Fulin'an and others' eyes widened. They didn't know what was going on yet.

Qi Rui's breathing became rapid and he looked at Lin Yun with the same shock.

Lin Yunhan said with a smile: "What I said naturally counts! Now in front of all my colleagues, I announced that Qi Rui was named the King of Jiangxia and commanded the Yunxian Yulin Army and the Green Camp Army to guard Jiangxia County. At the same time, he was under the command of the Ministry of War Minister! I’ll give you Qi Rui three days to take office as soon as possible without any mistakes!”
