wealthy lord

Chapter 930: Three days apart, treat each other with admiration
Li Zhen smiled bitterly: "When I first learned about this, I was indeed a little surprised! But I have carefully thought back to everything that happened over the past year or so. Your Majesty's ascension to the throne is truly God's will! It is beyond human power!"

"Oh? So, you recognize me from the bottom of your heart?"

"Yes! Although I know Your Majesty won't believe it, I really think so!"

Lin Yun said playfully: "Can I understand that you are afraid of death and want me to spare your life in this way?"

"I do have this idea! I no longer have the ambition I had in the past, and I have even lost my edge! Now I just want to live the rest of my life in peace and stability!"

"Do you think I will believe you? Tell me, you have traveled through mountains and rivers, risking your identity being exposed, where is your final destination?"

Li Zhen's heart was pounding. He couldn't defeat Lin Yun back then, let alone now.

But his hesitation made Lin Yun even more suspicious.

With a half-smile, he said, "Is it inconvenient to say? Or do you dare not say it?"

"I know I can't hide it from Your Majesty! Ever since I recovered from a serious illness, I have been in a state of panic all day long! Especially where I live, the Jinyiwei have appeared frequently recently, so..."

Lin Yun frowned and said, "No need to talk nonsense! I just want to ask you one question, where is your destination?"

"It's the Daqian Dynasty!"

In the end, Li Zhen still didn't dare to lie in front of Lin Yun.

When the Green Camp Army under his command suffered a crushing defeat in Niubei Village, they had already lost everything.

At that time, the Queen Mother pleaded for him, and he was lucky enough to save his life at the hands of his fourth brother Li Jing.

But now no one supports him anymore, so he must be cautious.

Lin Yun sneered, "Hey, what kind of charm does the Daqian Dynasty have that can attract all of you dignitaries who were once the dignitaries of the Daduan Dynasty?"

"Does this scare you so much?"

Li Zhen clasped his fists and said, "I don't have any ambitions, let alone revenge! I am really afraid, so I have no choice but to leave my hometown..."

"Okay! In that case! I'm officially telling you now, don't run away! I won't kill you! If you are willing to stay, I can give you a position, at least you can have enough food and clothing! But if you don't want to, stay in the capital for the time being. When I recover Hanzhong County, I will arrange for all of your Li family members to settle in Hanzhong County!"

Li Zhen looked incredulous: "Your Majesty, is everything you said true?"

"Of course! I am tired too! Moreover, the situation has been decided now. It will be difficult for your Li family to become powerful! Therefore, not only will I not kill you, I will not kill any of the Li family members either!"

Jiang Kun watched silently, but he didn't believe a word of it.

He followed this master only a little later than Zheng Youli, but he knew his temper very well.

Saying whether to kill or not now does not mean we won’t kill in the future.

Gathering all the members of the Li family together, killing them was just a matter of an order.

At this time, Li Zhen said: "If possible, I would like to be an official! I hope to serve Your Majesty!"

Lin Yun asked with great interest: "Work for me? Do you know how difficult it is for a member of the Li family to gain my trust?"

"I heard that the brat Lao Ba has betrayed the Great Duan Dynasty! If Your Majesty gives me a chance, I will definitely catch him back!"

Lin Yun asked with great interest: "You? Want to catch him?"

"That's right!"

"Are you dreaming? Your eighth brother has already joined the sect of the Qing Prince of the Great Qian Dynasty, Lu Zongqing! Before he escaped, he also took away a batch of my arms! What right do you have to arrest him?"

Li Zhen straightened up and said seriously, "I have something to say to Your Majesty alone! Can I..."

Jiang Kun said with a dark face: "Li Zhen, what are you doing?"

But Li Zhen didn't even look at him. Lin Yun hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay! Governor Jiang, you leave first!"

Jiang Kun didn't dare to say more. He could only hunch back and leave the imperial study, not forgetting to close the palace door.

Now, without outsiders, Li Zhen said in a deep voice: "If your majesty does not arrange for someone to go, the Eighth General will surely die!"

Lin Yun's expression suddenly changed and he narrowed his eyes slightly.

"What do you mean?"

Li Zhen continued, "Perhaps I was injured in the brain before, and I suddenly became smart this time when I woke up! Based on my understanding of this eighth brother, he would never betray the Great Duan Dynasty even if he died! Even if the country has changed hands!"

Lin Yun's heart skipped a beat. If even the once most foolish Fifth Prince could easily see through something, then it would be even more difficult to deceive Prince Qing, Lu Zongqing.

"go on!"

"As you command! Your Majesty, can you tell me whether my guess is correct?"

Lin Yun said with a gloomy face: "Do you really want to get involved? Li Zhen, I can tell you the truth, you are now an outsider. If you stop participating in politics, you will most likely have a good ending in the future! But if..."

Before he could finish, Li Zhen interrupted and said, "As long as you give me a chance, I am willing to be loyal to Your Majesty!"

Lin Yun's eyes turned deep and he nodded, "Okay! You said so yourself!"

Afterwards, he told the story of his plan to arrange for Li Mu to infiltrate and lie undercover.

If Li Zhen's subsequent performance does not satisfy him, Li Zhen will be executed immediately.

Li Zhen grinned, seeming proud of her bold guess this time.

"Please give your order, my Lord. I am willing to go there in person!"

"Oh? Do you have any idea to remedy this?"

"Now Lu Zongqing probably only suspects Lao Ba, but he won't be killed. He should be under house arrest! Your Majesty, arrange an army to follow me to arrest him, just for show! With my identity as a member of the Li family, I will definitely be able to get away with it!"

By then, even if we can't catch him, we can completely clear Lao Ba's suspicion and let him gain trust smoothly.

After hearing the plan, even Lin Yun looked at Li Zhen differently this time.

This guy seems to have been possessed by another spirit.

"Haha, it seems that suffering and time can really sharpen a person's character! I didn't expect that the Fifth Prince, who was arrogant and forbearing, would wake up one day!"

Li Zhen clasped his fists and said, "Then your Majesty means..."

He was betting that Lin Yun would accept his kindness.

Having experienced the fickleness of human nature and great ups and downs, he knew that if he wanted to regain trust and gain a firm foothold, he had to demonstrate his ability to make Lin Yun have no choice but to use his talents.

The reason why he was caught by Jiang Kun was entirely because of his plan.

Only in this way can he see Lin Yun again and have the opportunity to demonstrate his abilities.

But he won't tell this secret to anyone.

Lin Yun stood up suddenly: "Okay! Since you want to make progress, I will give you this opportunity to change your fate! Now you will be restored to the status of the Fifth Prince, but you still have a name without power. If you can complete this task, I will let you take power again, and you can work in the Military Affairs Office!"

Li Zhen was overjoyed and kowtowed three times in a row.

"Thank you for your grace! I will definitely fulfill your command!"
