Chapter 17 Are You the Emperor's Bodyguard?
The next day, Li Yun asked Xue Rengui to pretend to be a homeless person and hide among the homeless people.
Xue Rengui is a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, but at the beginning, he did not meet Huaicai, was killed by the villain, and finally became the head of the army, and later went into battle to kill the enemy, and his heroic posture was seen by the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, so he was reused, and finally became a generation of famous generals.
Therefore, Li Yun trusts Xue Rengui very much, and if he goes undercover, he will probably not be discovered.
Besides, with Xue Rengui's realm of a nine-rank master, even if he is discovered, I'm afraid that few people will be able to help him.
Li Yun and Gai Nie came to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Lin Xiang received them in the study.
"Your Majesty is here this time?" Lin Xiang asked Li Yun with a smile.
Li Yun smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "Thank you Lin Xiang for helping with yesterday's incident." ”
"The affairs of the displaced people are the most important thing for me in Daqin, and I should make a little effort, but my granary is just a drop in the bucket for them, and they can't last a few days. Lin Xiang pretended to be worried and said.
Li Yun knew that Lin Xiang had been enveloping courtiers in the past few years, and there were countless embezzlements and bribes, not to mention tens of thousands of homeless people, even if it was an army of 100,000 all the time, I am afraid that he would be able to feed him, but now, he is selling miserably with Li Yun here.
Li Yun didn't poke him, and said lightly: "That's right, opening a warehouse and releasing grain is just a drop in the bucket, and we should fundamentally solve this problem." ”
"Fundamentally, does Your Majesty already have a solution?" Lin Xiang hurriedly asked.
"Lin Xiang, I won't sell you and me, if I give the prime minister an army, will the prime minister dare to ask for it?"
"Army?" the prime minister was shocked.
"The army I am talking about is those displaced people, the displaced people fled from Nanling, and the fittest survived along the way, and the rest are basically strong men, and these strong men, if they are trained, will definitely become a strong army!" Li Yun sat beside the tea case, slowly raised his hand, and poured the West Lake Longjing in the cup.
"Your Majesty wants these homeless people to join the army?" the prime minister asked.
"That's right!
"Lin Xiang, although my country's military is strong now, the army is in the hands of General Zhang Boqian, Lin Xiang also hopes that he will have more strength to deal with the Queen Mother!" Li Yun took a sip of tea.
The army of Qin is basically in the hands of the general Zhang Boqian, but Zhang Boqian guards the border and does not involve the affairs of the court, but if Zhang Boqian wants to rebel, I am afraid that the Queen Mother and Lin Xiang will not be able to stop him.
Now Lin Xiang has an ironclad army of his own, and the Queen Mother is in control of the Imperial Forest Army in the palace, these two armies are about the same strength, so neither the Prime Minister nor the Queen Mother dare to act rashly, but if the Prime Minister has such an army of tens of thousands of people, the balance will slowly tilt towards Lin Xiang's side, and Lin Xiang's advantage will be much greater.
Therefore, Lin Xiang was very excited.
"You mean to let me raise those homeless people for you?" said the prime minister lightly.
"Of course not, they will definitely go through the regular procedures, I will launch this plan when I go to the court, as long as the prime minister helps me and let my plan pass, I will put these tens of thousands of displaced people under the name of the ironclad army. When the time comes, you will expand your ironclad army, and I will settle the affairs of my outcasts, won't you be the best of both worlds, and we will all be happy?"
Li Yun knows that although the prime minister's family is rich, he will definitely not take money to support these homeless people, and these homeless people must be in his own hands after all, if he is raised by the prime minister, he will have a lot of difficulties in the future, but in the name of the country, he is the lord of the world after all, these armies still belong to him in name, and he will be better able to control them in the future.
"Lin Xiang, if this plan is successful, it will definitely enhance Lin Xiang's strength, and even the Queen Mother will not be able to help you when the time comes!" Li Yun continued.
Lin Xiang thought for a while, and said lightly: "Okay, as long as Your Majesty proposes this plan above the court at that time, the old minister will definitely help." ”
"Then there will be Prime Minister Lao!"
"By the way, Prime Minister, do you have any clues about the assassination at the city gate?"
The prime minister slowly stood up and said lightly: "In this court, my biggest enemy is the Queen Mother, and at that time, you and Wan'er were together, and you and I were both thorns in the side of the Queen Mother, I think the assassination must have been done by the Queen Mother!"
"Queen Mother, do you think it's the Queen Mother?" Li Yun asked lightly.
"Does Your Majesty have any other opinions?" the Prime Minister asked.
"With my understanding of the Queen Mother, she never does things that she is not sure of, since she knows that there are masters of the Grandmaster Realm by my side, she will not act so rashly, if the Queen Mother wants to kill me, the killer sent is definitely not about six or seven grades. Li Yundao.
"Then who does Your Majesty think did it? Your Majesty doesn't think that this matter was done by the old man, you know, there is still the old man's daughter present, will the old man risk hurting his own daughter?" Lin Xiang said coldly.
"Tomorrow I will ask the Criminal Department to inspect this matter, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department is your person, right?" Li Yun looked at Lin Ruofu and asked.
"He is indeed my person, even if His Majesty does not say it, the minister must find out about this matter. Lin Ruofu said sharply.
Li Yun stood up, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave today, Prime Minister, we'll see you tomorrow morning." ”
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!" Lin Xiang said immediately.
Li Yun left the study with Gai Nie and slowly walked to the garden.
At this time, a woman in white suddenly ran over in a panic.
Li Yun didn't pay attention, only to see the woman plunge into Li Yun's arms and hit Li Yunman's arms.
The fragrance was soft and soft, and Li Yun smelled the faint fragrance on the woman's body.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" the woman hurriedly apologized, and at this time, she looked up and was suddenly surprised in place.
"Yun Gongzi, why are you?" the girl immediately shouted.
I saw Li Yun looking at her, and he knew that this was the prime minister's daughter, and the girl who was dressed as a man that day.
"Young Master Yun, why did you come to my house?" Lin Wan'er then asked.
"I'm here with someone else. Li Yun said lightly.
"Are you a guard?" Lin Wan'er immediately asked.
Li Yun smiled and said, "You guess?"
"You must be a guard, because I asked my father that none of the ministers in the palace is surnamed Yun, and you said today that you came with someone, then you must be a guard. ”
"And I also heard that the emperor is going to come to discuss important matters with my father today, so I guess you must be the emperor's guard!, aren't you?" Lin Wan'er asked with wide eyes.
Li Yun smiled and did not speak.
"Yun Gongzi, thank you for saving me last time!" Lin Wan'er smiled lightly.
Li Yun also smiled slightly, then turned around and left the garden.
At this time, Lin Wan'er suddenly turned around and shouted, "By the way, Yun Gongzi, what's your name?"
However, Li Yun has already gone far.
