Chapter 830: The situation changes suddenly, everyone has their own agenda
The Eight Sage King's eyes lit up and he said: "Please!"

He knew clearly that Qi Changyun was now Lin Yun's best confidant, and he also knew that taking the initiative to come to visit him this time would definitely be up to no good, but he still eagerly wanted to know Lin Yun's attitude.

"Haha!" Qi Changyun's loud laughter suddenly came from outside the door; "I came uninvited, I hope the Eighth Prince won't be surprised!"

The Eighth Sage King stood up to greet him and said with a smile: "Master Qi, please take a seat! What do you think? I heard that the regent immediately killed everyone at the Dragon Lock Gate of Tongshan Pass this time. Even the King of Chu Jiang was killed on the spot?" "

Qi Changyun nodded happily: "Yes! Who would have thought that such a person as King Chu Jiang would die like this! But you, the Eight Wise King, took advantage of the regent's absence in the capital to secretly cause trouble, so you are not afraid of getting into trouble?"

The Eight Sage King sarcastically said: "Lord Qi, there is no need to be so sinister. I just hope to fulfill the fourth brother's wish! Besides, Yuchifeng has not committed any serious crimes, so why should the regent keep an eye on him?"

Qi Changyun sneered and said: "Who doesn't know where the VIP Building is now? Although the regent has not mentioned Yuchifeng to me, the Eight Sages dare to say that he has nothing to do with a certain vassal king?"

Knowing that he could no longer hide it, the Eighth Sage King sighed: "Master Qi, there is no need to talk unnecessary nonsense! The Regent asked you to come. If you want to convey something, just say it!"

Qi Changyun narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a cold voice: "From now on, the virtuous prince Li Mu is not allowed to leave the palace even half a step. If he is disrespectful, he will be punished by military law!"

"boom!"

Li Mu slapped the table and stood up suddenly.

"He, Lin Yun, still wants to put me under house arrest?"

Qi Changyun said jokingly: "The Eighth Prince guessed it right! That's what the Regent meant! Now the entire Prince Xian's Mansion has been blocked by the people from the Infantry Commander's Yamen. If the Eighth Prince wants to test the law by himself, don't blame my subordinates for being rude!"

"Finally, Qi gave a piece of advice to the Eighth Prince in his own name. Don't misjudge the situation! Don't think that your little thoughts are well hidden! The death of Chu Xiangyu this time is a special signal. If the Eighth Prince If you are still self-righteous, you may die when the regent returns to Beijing!"

"That's it for now, let the Eighth Prince take care of himself!"

After that, Qi Changyun stood up and left.

He knew very well that Lin Yun's conquest of Chujiang County this time would soon reach a peak in terms of prestige and force, and there would definitely be bigger moves next.

Li Mu looked gloomy, stared at his leaving figure, and said solemnly: "Master Qi, can you do one last favor for me?"

Qi Changyun turned his back to him and said, "Speak!"

"Tell Princess Fuyao that her brother wants to see her!"

Qi Changyun suddenly turned around and looked at him, frowning and said: "Could it be that the Eighth Prince wants to pull back? If so, then there is nothing I can do about it!"

"I will never take action against my own family again!"

Li Mu's eyes were full of sadness, and he seemed to have accepted his fate.

Qi Changyun heard the hidden meaning and nodded: "Okay! Farewell!"

The news that King Chu Jiang was killed and Qi Rui was crowned king swept every corner of the Daduan Dynasty in just one month.

All the vassal kings with different surnames are in constant panic. The imperial court's fear of Lin Yun, the regent, has reached a historical peak.

But just as Lin Yun had speculated before, some vassal kings were secretly making small moves, colluding with each other, and being suspicious of each other.

But there were also some vassal kings who were keenly aware of Lin Yun's policy towards them when they learned that Qi Rui had been crowned queen.

Therefore, in recent times, vassal kings with different surnames who are weak or weak-willed have successively sent their officials to Beijing to report on their duties.

What's more, he simply sent his own son to express his loyalty to the court.

For a time, the capital became more lively than ever.

But because Lin Yun was not there, they all tacitly agreed not to go to the palace to meet the saint out of political considerations, but chose to meet Qi Changyun and Fulin'an. They know that the current emperor Li Daozong is just a puppet and has no decision-making ability at all.

The craftsmen from Niubei Village that Lin Yun had promised before also arrived in the capital one after another. Under Fulin'an's arrangement, they were secretly sent to the Ministry of Industry, and were then protected and supervised by the guards of Prince Yun's Palace.

Fulin'an also promptly released the news that the imperial court was selling bamboo guns and ammunition.

The first to get the news were the officials of the vassal king with a different surname staying in the capital.

In just one month, the Ministry of Industry received arms orders worth thirty million taels of silver.

Everything went in the direction Lin Yun expected.

Coupled with the hundreds of millions of taels of silver sent by the Chu family, the court, which had long been accustomed to poverty, became wealthy.

As the Ministry of Industry gradually launched production, a large amount of money flowed into the market, spurring the development of all walks of life, completely revitalizing the economy that had been stagnant for many years, and the entire country became prosperous.

On this day, Li Qingyue had just finished meeting with several subordinates of vassal kings with different surnames, and finally found some time to come to Prince Xian's mansion.

Because Lin Yun was not at home, these vassal kings with different surnames learned about her relationship with Lin Yun, so they came to please her.

Li Qingyue naturally refused to accept anyone who came, so in order to consolidate her position in Lin Yun's heart, she also needed to take the opportunity to win over them.

Since the last time Qi Changyun left at Prince Xian's mansion, he had dismissed all the guards in the mansion, leaving only the people from the infantry commander's yamen in charge of guarding.

At this time, the two gatekeepers knelt down on one knee: "See the fourth lady!"

Li Qingyue nodded with a smile. She was quite satisfied with this title. If someone still called her Princess Fuyao now, she would definitely fall out on the spot.

"Is Li Mu inside?"

"Yes! The Eighth Prince has not been out for a month!" As he said that, the guard handed her the bamboo gun hanging on his waist and continued: "Master Qi has given instructions that if the Fourth Lady comes, you should bring it with her. Use this weapon to defend yourself! He also said that the Eighth Prince is very unstable now and is worried that the Fourth Lady is in danger!"

Li Qingyue took the bamboo gun and said with approval: "Okay, thank you very much for me!"

With that said, she walked into the palace.

After passing through several doors and gardens along the way, and under the guidance of the guards, Li Qingyue finally arrived at the palace where the Eight Wise Kings were.

She stood at the foot of the steps, looking at the closed palace door, and couldn't help but sigh.

This mynah brother used to be so prosperous, but now he is in such a state of decline.

Li Qingyue walked up the steps and said in a deep voice: "Bago, my little sister is here to visit you!"

Soon, the palace door opened with a creak.

I saw that although Li Mu was dressed luxuriously and cleanly, he had a green beard on his face, and his overall mental state was not very good.

Li Qingyue saw it in her eyes and felt guilty so she didn't dare to look at him.

She understood that the fact that the Li family had come to this point was inseparable from her.

After all, some of Lin Yun's ideas were ignored by her.

And Li Mu seemed to have seen through the youngest sister's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Qingyue, Brother Ba has been waiting here for a month for you, thinking you won't come! Come in and sit down!"
