Chapter 871 Yang Lin is promoted, cruel officials emerge

He had long suspected that there was a traitor in the capital, but he had no clues. He didn't expect Yang Lin to come.

He quickly opened the envelope and was stunned when he saw its contents.

Lin Yun frowned and glared, muttering to himself: "Guangshan, Yumen, Shisanyao, Choushi, Fuzi!"

Yang Lin explained: "Fourteenth Master, this should be the code they use to pass on information. I am really limited in my ability and cannot decipher the secret!"

Lin Yun sighed and said in a deep voice: "I know! You have done a good job. Leave it to me from now on! In addition, from now on, the Jinyiwei will no longer need to hide in the dark. We will formally set up an organization in the palace and temporarily be under my command. We will make changes in the future!"

Yang Lin was overjoyed: "Thank you, Fourteenth Master, for your help! May I ask what rank I, the commander of the Jinyiwei, am?"

Lin Yun opened the drawer and threw a document on the table in front of him.

"See for yourself!"

Yang Lin took it immediately, took a closer look, and trembled with excitement.

He, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, was actually promoted to a first-rank official.

Moreover, Lin Yun specially set up a Taiwei Mansion directly under him, which was responsible for national security affairs. It had the power to execute first and report later and monitor all officials of the Daduan Divine Dynasty.

In terms of function, the Taiwei Mansion is very special and its power is above that of the Grand Council.

In other words, the Jinyiwei under Yang Lin's command could legally monitor all the ministers in the court, including those in the Grand Council.

Lin Yun gave Yang Lin supreme power, which was also the sharpest knife in his hand.

Making Yang Lin's identity completely public is also a strong warning to all officials.

Yang Lin quickly knelt on the ground, his eyes filled with tears of excitement.

"Fourteenth Master! How could I, a humble person, deserve such trust from you?"

Lin Yun smiled slightly: "Well, this is what you deserve! From the day you followed me, I promised to give you an explanation! Moreover, you have suffered a lot over the years! You have done a lot of dirty work for me! But remember, the greater the power, the heavier the burden on your shoulders!"

"In the future, you must gradually change your mindset. Dealing with these high-ranking officials in the court is a hundred times more dangerous than fighting and killing outside! If you are not careful, you may fall into the endless abyss! In the end, this king hopes that you can become a cruel official! Go down, don't keep Xiaoyu waiting for too long!"

"Yes! Master Fourteen, rest assured, I will never let you down!"

After that, he bowed and turned to leave.

If Fu Linan, Qi Changyun and others were present at this moment, they would probably be scared to death.

Although they didn't know Yang Lin, they all knew this person.

Even if Lin Yun promoted Yang Lin, it was within their expectations, but the responsibilities directly under the Taiwei Mansion were clearly tailor-made for high-ranking officials like them.

Everything will be fine as long as nothing goes wrong. But once the truth is revealed or Lin Yun wants to turn against them, they will be killed without a burial place.

Now no one can guess Lin Yun’s thoughts, and the plans he makes in secret are becoming more and more targeted.

Lin Yun took a deep breath, picked up the secret letter on the table again, and looked at the contents, but the more he read, the more confused he became.

"Here comes someone!"

A guard with a gun came in and said respectfully: "Your Majesty..."

"Who is on duty at the Military Affairs Office today?"

"It's the Minister of Personnel Ye Zhongtang!!"

"Pass the order down and inform Ye Ruhui that all the people from the Military Affairs Office must come to Prince Yun's Mansion to discuss the matter within half an hour!"

"I humbly obey my orders!!"

The armed guard turned around and left, and happened to meet Li Qingyue. She vaguely heard what Lin Yun said, and walked in quickly. When she saw Lin Yun's sad face, she asked curiously, "Husband, why do you have such an expression?"

Lin Yun put the secret letter in his hand on the table and pushed it in front of her.

"Don't you think you are smart? See if you can decipher the contents of this letter!"

Li Qingyue took a quick look and was also stunned.

After holding it in for a long time, she suddenly said, "The letter said, go at Chou time, go... Oh, I can't make it up anymore! What does this mean? What's the Guangshan Thirteen Yao? And there's a grasshopper!"

Lin Yun showed a hint of disappointment. If he couldn't decipher the contents of the letter, he would not be able to trace the traitor.

Any decision you make next will be leaked.

War is not just about killing people, it is also an opportunity to test your overall strength.

Intelligence warfare is particularly important, followed by food and weapons and equipment.

If we cannot keep intelligence confidential, this battle, which is sure to be won, will be a tragic victory even if it is won in the end, and will greatly consume national strength.

This was something Lin Yun could not accept.

"By the way, husband, did you just tell Li Chun that you wanted to hold his future child hostage?"

Lin Yun asked playfully, "What? Is he very unhappy?"

Li Qingyue rolled her eyes and said, "Need I say that? Who is willing to give their child to someone else as a hostage? Husband, do you really have to do this? I can guarantee that Brother Nine will never do anything to let you down!"

Lin Yun took a deep breath and nodded, "That's fine! Then let him write a letter of resignation! When the time comes for me to recapture Hanzhong County, he will go with the Li family!"

Li Qingyue smiled awkwardly: "Then... I think it is not unacceptable to let Brother Nine's child be kept as a hostage!!"

She knew very well that if Li Chun was really stripped of his official title and demoted to a poor man, his future life or death would be uncertain!

Moreover, Lin Yun was already merciful in giving the Li family such an ending.

Lin Yun said in a deep voice: "Qingyue, you are pregnant now, so don't run around everywhere! Before giving birth, you are not allowed to see Li Chun again!"

When Lin Yun came back from the clan residence, he felt that Li Chun would be unhappy, but he dared to tell his fourth wife directly, obviously hoping that Li Qingyue would exert influence on him.

This is something Lin Yun cannot tolerate.

It is true that he doted on his four wives, but he would never allow them to interfere in sensitive political affairs, especially those concerning the Li family.

"Got it! My husband, I'll go find Sister Wu Yue first! I'll accompany you!"

With that said, she turned and left.

Li Qingyue knew very well that the secret letter on the table involved the traitor, which was troubling Lin Yun, and he must be in a very bad mood.

Therefore, it’s best not to provoke him at this time.

Soon, a group of senior officials from the Grand Council arrived one after another.

Although Qi Changyun was not an official of the Grand Council, he was allowed to attend the meetings as an exception because he was the Governor-General of the Nine Gates.

Ye Ruhui and Fu Lin'an Qi Changyun were the first to arrive, followed by the Eighth Wise King Li Mu who had just been reinstated.

Finally, several guards brought Xue Kai, who was recuperating in the Xue Mansion.

Xue Kai was once promoted by Lin Yun as an exception and was allowed to work in the Military Affairs Office.

Although he was not qualified to speak at this kind of high-level meeting and could only listen, this was Xue Kai's first time attending a high-level meeting, so he was naturally looking forward to it.
