wealthy lord

Chapter 929: Hitting Ye Ruhui, is Li Zhen still alive?

Ye Ruhui was so angry that he slapped the table.

"Nonsense! You, Fulin'an, stop talking nonsense here! When the emperor comes later, you'd better shut up! Don't let this interfere with my request for permission to send troops!"

Fu Linan saw that his goal had been achieved, and smiled contemptuously: "I am too lazy to argue with you about right and wrong! But you can't make me shut up!"

The officials standing around could only watch helplessly.

In the current Grand Council, Fu Linan and Ye Ruhui have the final say.

Officials like Xue Kai, who were only qualified to work in the Grand Council, could only listen and did not dare to participate at all, as they did not have the qualifications.

Outside the door, Lin Yun saw that there was no movement inside, so he lifted the curtain and walked in.

The guards guarding outside the door should have shouted in advance, but were stopped by Lin Yun.

When the ministers saw Lin Yun coming, they immediately stood up and knelt on the ground.

"Your Highness!"

Lin Yun smiled without saying anything and sat down on the armchair beside him.

"Stop quarreling! Why don't you continue quarreling? It would be better to let all the civil and military officials in the court see the ugly appearance of the two ministers! Do you want me to arrange a place for you two old men to fight?"

Fu Lin'an and Ye Ruhui's faces turned red and they both lowered their heads in embarrassment.

Fu Linan clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I just can't stand Ye Ruhui's selfish and self-centered character who doesn't consider the overall situation! I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"

Ye Ruhui gnashed his teeth in anger and explained, "Your Majesty, this Fu Lin'an is completely slandering and making up nonsense! Our great Daduan Dynasty has suffered such a great loss this time, and we should take action! Moreover, Utova's sudden death must be a political assassination! In order to maintain long-term peace and stability, and to stabilize the rear of the court in the future, this old minister believes that we must send troops to eliminate him! At the very least, we must re-establish a pro-court regime in the Panda Royal Court!"

Lin Yun highly agreed with Fu Lin'an's characterization of Ye Ruhui.

This old man has changed. He used to be dedicated to speaking for the people, and he was also very competent as a censor.

But since becoming the chief minister of the Grand Council, Ye Ruhui has obviously become different.

Although his political vision was still there and some of his decisions were good, Lin Yun had long seen through his selfish nature.

But he is his father-in-law after all, and Lin Yun can't really do anything to Ye Ruhui.

Lin Yun nodded with a smile: "What Ye Zhongtang said makes sense! In fact, before I returned to Beijing, I also thought so! But there is a gap between ideal and reality! Does Ye Zhongtang know how many people and countries are involved in this matter?"

Ye Ruhui was stunned, frowned and said: "Your Majesty, there is something else in your words. I don't quite understand it. I hope you can clarify it!"

Lin Yun shook his head helplessly: "Fu Zhongtang, explain to him why we can't send troops for the time being!"

Fu Lin'an looked very proud. He understood that Lin Yun's asking him to explain was a high recognition of him.

"According to the order!"

Fu Lin'an clasped his fists and stared at Ye Ruhui with a half-smile, saying, "Old man Ye, listen carefully! If it weren't for the decree from His Majesty, I really wouldn't bother to talk to you!"

Afterwards, he repeated the analysis of the current international situation and geopolitical security that he had made that day in Jincheng Mansion.

Ye Ruhui was stunned after hearing this.

He never dreamed that there were so many things hidden in this, and he was speechless for a moment.

Lin Yun saw this and sighed, "Okay! Ye Zhongtang doesn't have to worry too much about Wanqing. I have secretly ordered Lord Yang from the Taiwei Mansion to personally lead the Jinyiwei to sneak into the Panda Holy City to rescue people! Because it is a secret operation, it will not disturb any forces! If everything goes well, they will almost enter the Holy City!"

When Ye Ruhui heard what he said, he burst into tears and knelt on the ground crying, "Your Majesty, I am so ashamed!"

"Zhongtang Ye should feel ashamed! Do you still remember my original intention of letting you take the position?"

Ye Ruhui shuddered all over and lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Old minister... remember!"

Lin Yun stood up, walked up to him, patted his shoulder meaningfully, then turned and left.

His statement was the most direct warning to Ye Ruhui. If this old man did not fulfill his duties, then Lin Yun would have to replace him.

He didn't say it directly to save face for his father-in-law, that's all.

In fact, Lin Yun was more anxious than anyone else. He felt bad that his two closest concubines had both met with accidents.

But as Fu Lin'an said, we still have to consider the overall situation.

If he ignored the consequences and issued an order to send troops, even if he saved the two ladies, he would lose the support of the people.

This is a loss.

When Lin Yun returned to the imperial study, he saw Jiang Kun, whom he had not seen for a long time, kneeling on the ground waiting.

"Haha, Lord Jiang, why didn't I see you when I went to Jiangxia County and Fufeng County this time?"

Jiang Kun smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, I recently tracked down a team from Chujiang County that was secretly heading to Hanzhong County! Your Majesty will definitely be interested in the people in it!"

Lin Yun raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Who?"

"The Fifth Prince Li Zhen back then!"

"It's him!!"

Previously, Lin Yun arranged for a killer named Feng Kuan under Yang Lin to assassinate Li Zhen.

Although Li Zhen was not killed directly, he was beaten to brain death.

Lin Yun never dreamed that Li Zhen was so lucky to be alive.

"Where is he?"

"I secretly brought him back to the capital and had him stay in the VIP building! The Jinyiwei were responsible for monitoring him the whole time!"

Lin Yun smiled with satisfaction: "Good! You are really a man who makes a splash when you don't make any noise! ​​I will remember your merit this time! Make arrangements and bring him into the palace!"

"According to the order!"

Afterwards, Lin Yun stepped into the imperial study.

Another hour passed and Jiang Kun came with Li Zhen.

After more than a year of life and death struggle, Li Zhen's temperament changed drastically.

He is no longer the domineering Fifth Prince.

He is now very thin and looks much older, no longer as handsome as he used to be. He has a head of messy hair that is a mixture of black and white, and a green beard on his face.

It seems like an attempt to deliberately hide one's identity.

He walked into the hall, and when he saw Lin Yun sitting on the dragon throne, he froze in place, feeling dazed.

This was the position he had always dreamed of taking, but it seemed like God was playing a joke on him.

Various coincidences and misfortunes befell him, causing him to miss the throne.

What he never expected was that the bastard who was banished to Niubei Village by the Lin family would one day wear the yellow robe and ascend the supreme throne.

Jiang Kun pushed him hard and said unhappily, "What are you standing there for? Why don't you go in? You should feel honored to be summoned by His Majesty alone! Otherwise... you would have been beheaded long ago!"

Li Zhen finally came to his senses and hurriedly nodded and bowed to Jiang Kun. Then he walked to the dragon table and knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Your Majesty, long live the emperor!"

Lin Yun smiled jokingly: "Li Zhen, I know you have mixed feelings right now! You are surprised that I sit on this throne, right?"
