Chapter 879: The Emperor is Imprisoned and the Grand Commandant is Officially Appointed

But it was too late now. All the civil and military officials in the court had accepted Lin Yun, especially the powerful officials in the Grand Council. Under Lin Yun's guidance, they had already secretly infiltrated all the officials in the capital.

Now all the civil and military officials in the court only listen to Lin Yun, but no one takes Li Daozon seriously.

Lin Yun looked at him with an indifferent expression and said, "Your Majesty, do you have anything else to say?"

Li Daozon was so angry that he took off his dragon boots and smashed them at Lin Yun.

He really tried his best, but he didn't even have the qualifications to threaten Lin Yun.

Finally, Li Daozon rushed down the stage and was ready to fight Lin Yun.

"Lin Yun, I'm going to kill you! You traitor, you're trying to steal my Li family's kingdom, you're going to die a horrible death!"

This time, he disregarded even his last bit of dignity and completely fell out with his enemies.

Lin Yun said in a deep voice: "Xue Tu!"

"Your Majesty, please give me your orders!"

"Imprison Li Dao Zong and Li Dao Zhen in Jing Palace! From today on, they can only eat one steamed bun a day! Anyone who dares to get close to Jing Palace will be killed immediately! Do you understand?"

"I humbly obey my orders!"

Xue Tu stood up and shouted, "Catch them both!"

A group of imperial guards rushed in and were about to take action when Lin Yun said in a deep voice, "Wait a minute!"

Afterwards, he came to Li Dao Zong and said in a deep voice: "Tell me, did you two brothers participate in Tong Xiangrou's escape from the palace? Remember, this is the last time I will ask you! Think it over before answering!"

Li Daozon was completely panicked. He understood that Lin Yun was planning to take real action.

"Lin Yun, I know I was wrong, please forgive me this time!"

Lin Yun sneered, "I? From now on, you will only have one name, Li Dao Zong, and no longer be the emperor of the Great Duan Dynasty! Do you understand?"

"No! You can't do this! I am the officially crowned emperor, and you are only the regent!"

"That's enough! I don't want to argue with you about this! Tell me, were you involved or not?"

Li Dao Zong shook his head in panic.

At this time, Li Daozhen shouted: "Lin Yun, you'd better stop! The Li family has been hurt enough by you, do you really intend to kill them all?"

"boom!"

There was a sudden explosion in the imperial study.

Everyone was startled.

Only green smoke was seen coming out of Lin Yun's sleeves, but upon closer inspection, it was a revolver that was easy to hide and extremely powerful.

Li Daozhen's eyes widened, a bullet hole appeared between his eyebrows, and a trace of blood flowed out.

Li Daozhen, who had been the crown prince for more than ten years, died here.

Fu Lin'an and others just watched coldly. Not only were they indifferent, but they were actually somewhat excited inside.

Only the Eighth Wise King was the saddest. This prince was the person he once valued the most, but now he was dying in front of him, and he was powerless to do anything.

He slowly closed his eyes, trying not to look sad, and to stop the tears from flowing.

"No!! Brother!!"

Li Daozon let out a scream and was about to pounce on Li Daozhen who had fallen to the ground.

But he was stopped by several palace guards.

Lin Yun said in a deep voice: "I'll ask you again, did you participate in Tong Xiangrou's escape?"

Li Daozon was so panicked that he knelt on the ground. He even wet his pants and could no longer speak.

Lin Yun looked disgusted, as if time had returned to the time when he encountered the natural disaster at Longxia Pass. After so long, Li Dao Zong's cowardly character had not changed, but this time no one pleaded for him.

"Take him away! I don't want to see him again!"

"As ordered!"

Xue Tu immediately ordered the palace guards to carry the frightened Li Daozon out.

At this time, Lin Yun turned around and looked at Li Mu, saying playfully: "Eighth Prince, you must be feeling bad, right?"

Li Mu shook his head slowly and said, "No! I have only one request, which is to spare Dao Zong's life! He is the only son of my fourth brother who is still alive!"

Lin Yun patted his shoulder, walked straight to the grading platform, walked around the dragon table, raised his hand and gently stroked the handle of the dragon throne.

Everyone looked at it eagerly, hoping that Lin Yun could sit on it.

But they were still disappointed.

Lin Yun did not sit down, but turned back to look at Li Mu and said, "Okay, I accept your request!"

He is just Li Dao Zong. Even if he is given a chance, this kind of person will not be able to seize it.

Li Mu then knelt on the ground, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Regent, for your help!"

Lin Yun continued: "Xue Tu..."

"The humble position is here!"

"Go and call Taiwei Yang from the Taiwei Mansion!"

Xue Tu was stunned: "Your Majesty, is there a Taiwei Mansion in the court? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Fu Linan, Qi Changyun and others were also confused and looked at Lin Yun in shock.

Lin Yun's mouth curled up: "Of course! This Taiwei Mansion is a new institution established by this king! Go ahead, don't keep everyone waiting for too long!"

"Yes! Xue Tu didn't dare to say more, turned around and walked out.

At this time, Ye Ruhui clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, can you tell me about the duties of this Taiwei Mansion?"

Lin Yun nodded and smiled: "Of course, the first Grand Marshal of the Grand Marshal's Mansion was Yang Lin! I believe you are all familiar with him, right?"

"As for the specific duties, they are similar to those of the Minister of War, but the power is far greater than that of the Minister of War! Moreover, the functions are above those of the Military Affairs Council! Do you understand what I mean?"

Fu Lin'an and others looked at each other in shock.

The duties of the Minister of War are mostly in the military field. Defending the country is his duty and he hardly gets involved in other matters.

But the Jinyiwei under the Taiwei Mansion was obviously a power agency specifically for internal affairs.

To put it bluntly, they are specifically responsible for monitoring and intimidating officials like them.

Fu Linan smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, has this Yang Lin ever performed any great merit? You actually gave him such a high position!"

Lin Yun had already thought of an excuse, and he knew that these princes would definitely ask questions.

"Back when I was fighting against Lin Fengjiao in Fengyang County, Yang Lin was my confidant! But too many things happened at that time, so I won't say more! The reason why I promoted him is because he has made great contributions!"

"This time, regarding the secret letter and the traitor, it was the intelligence he collected. Now, the intelligence collection of the entire Great Duan Dynasty was also completed by him and the Jinyiwei! With such a great contribution, are you still not convinced?"

Qi Changyun clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, we are not dissatisfied, but we just think that the power you gave him is too great. Not only did the Taiwei Mansion appear out of nowhere, but it can also override the Military Affairs Office! This..."

His words were equivalent to the rebirth of everyone present.

No one wanted such a spy agency to appear in the Great Duan Dynasty. Even if they were slow to react, they understood that Lin Yun was planning to use the Taiwei Mansion to monitor all the civil and military officials in the court.

If this is the case, then everyone will be in danger, and no one can guarantee that there is no shit on their butt.

If anything is discovered, the evidence will fall into Lin Yun's hands, and your life or death will depend on Lin Yun's words.
