Time flew by, and very quickly, three days passed quietly.
Xia Kingdom, royal city.
In the mansion of the Lin family in Wangcheng, Lin Tianying, the current Grand Master of the Xia Kingdom and the head of the Lin family in Wangcheng, was drinking afternoon tea with a contented look on his face.
Opposite him, Lin Zhengbei, the new head of the Lin family in Zhongzhou, was standing there with a respectful expression.
The Lin family of Zhongzhou is a branch that branched off from the Lin family of Wangcheng in the early years. In terms of blood lineage, Lin Zhengbei can be regarded as the younger generation of Lin Tianying.
However, anyone who sees this scene in front of them may not think that the two are related.
It's more like a master and a slave with a clear distinction between superiority and inferiority.
If possible, Lin Zhengbei, who was dominating and enjoying the glory and wealth in Zhongzhou, would never come here to make himself uncomfortable.
But there was no way. Ye Yun directly wiped out the Xiao family in Zhongzhou City. This incident really frightened him.
After all, there was a lot of hatred between the Zhongzhou Lin family and Ye Yun.
Once, a young lady from the Lin family was insulted by Jiang Biqi from the Jiang family. The Lin family directly ordered the death of Ye Yun, the culprit, without careful investigation.
Although I don’t know why Ye Yun didn’t die in the end, the Lin family came to trouble Ye Yun many times later, and this hatred was forged.
After the death of the previous head of the family, Lin Zhengxiong, the Lin family became more restrained, coupled with their relationship with the Lin family in Wangcheng.
Originally, he had a bit of luck in his heart, thinking that Ye Yun did not dare to come to seek revenge.
However, when the Xiao family was wiped out by Ye Yun, he was completely panicked.
With the strength of the Lin family in Zhongzhou, there was nothing they could do to Ye Yun. In desperation, Lin Zhengbei had no choice but to go to the royal city in person and ask for help from his master.
"You said that the Xiao family in Zhongzhou was wiped out by Ye Yun?"
"However, Zhongzhou City Lord Situ Yu wrote a letter yesterday saying that the Xiao family was destroyed because they provoked a powerful enemy."
Lin Tianying said in a calm tone, with a hint of disdain in his words, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all.
Looking at Lin Tianying's appearance, Lin Zhengbei couldn't help but cursed secretly in his heart.
How could he not know what Lin Tianying was thinking now.
"Uncle Clan, this Ye Yun is narrow-minded and will retaliate for his anger, and his qualifications are very terrifying."
"He must not be kept. If my uncle is willing to help me get rid of him, I will be willing to add 10% to the property I turn over every year from now on."
Lin Zhengbei said with a pained face at this time.
The Zhongzhou Lin family, as a branch of the Wangcheng Lin family, needs to hand over part of its property to the main family every year.
Although Lin Zhengbei only said that it had increased by 10%, that was also a figure that ordinary people could not even imagine.
Hearing Lin Zhengbei's words, Lin Tianying couldn't help but look at him in surprise. He obviously didn't expect it.
For Ye Yun, Lin Zhengbei would spend such a huge amount of money.
Taking a sip of tea, Lin Tianying was silent for a while, and then said in a calm tone:
"Twenty percent, if you don't agree, then you can resolve this matter yourself!"
Hearing Lin Tianying's words, Lin Zhengbei couldn't help clenching his fists, but he did not dare to show the slightest expression of anger.
"good!"
A hoarse voice came from his mouth. In order to deal with Ye Yun, he did not hesitate to agree to Lin Tianying's request.
"Uncle, when will you send out your masters to kill that little beast?"
Looking at Lin Tianying, Lin Zhengbei asked with a serious tone at this time. In order to deal with Ye Yun, he had to hand over 20% more profits every year. At this moment, he already hated Ye Yun in his heart.
"Send experts to kill him?"
"To be honest, I don't even know how you got such a brain."
"You don't have to worry about it, I will definitely have a way to deal with him!"
Looking at Lin Zhengbei, Lin Tianying couldn't help but have a flash of contempt in his eyes. This kind of thing deserves his last name!
After sending Lin Zhengbei away, Lin Tianying sat quietly in the study for a while, then directly summoned the servants and gave instructions:
"Prepare the carriage and go to the residence of Right Prime Minister Murong Fuxing."
…
The next day, the Xia Kingdom held a court meeting.
"Everyone, Ye Yun, the young hero of our Xia Kingdom, saved the people of Jizhou from fire and water, killed countless demons, and greatly promoted the power of our Xia Kingdom."
"I plan to reward Ye Yun as the general of our Xia Kingdom. What do you think?"
Xia King Dongfang Yingzheng looked at the civil and military officials below with a majestic look, and said in a calm tone.
As soon as Dongfang Yingzheng finished speaking, the entire court became chaotic in an instant.
All the officials of the Xia Kingdom began to whisper and discuss.
General Zhen Guo, that is a position of real power with high status and respect in Xia State.
The entire Xia Kingdom, from its founding to the present, has only had ten positions. Now among the ten generals who govern the country, there is only one vacant position.
All the forces in the Xia Kingdom that are capable of competing are eyeing this position.
Now that they heard that Xia King Dongfang Yingzheng was going to hand over this position to a young boy, everyone couldn't imagine it.
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!"
"Ye Yun is young. Although he has some merits, the position of General of the Kingdom is too important to our Xia Kingdom."
Prime Minister Zuo Shangguan Haoming stood up at this time and persuaded Dongfang Yingzheng with a righteous expression.
The major families in the Xia Kingdom were very keen on the position of General Zhenguo. Every family wanted to have one of their own take this position, and Shangguan Haoming was no exception.
Moreover, among the major family forces in Xia Kingdom, currently, his Shangguan family is the most likely to win this position.
So when he heard that Dongfang Yingzheng was going to reward Ye Yun with the position of General Zhenguo, he couldn't sit still.
"You're young, but you have some achievements?"
Hearing Shangguan Haoming's words, Dongfang Yingzheng couldn't help but sneered.
"Shangguan Haoming, if you can even save the people of a state from fire and water, and save a state of our Xia Kingdom, such achievements are not enough."
"Then what kind of merit do you think is required to serve as a general of the country?"
"I think, according to what you said, none of the nine current generals who govern the country meet the requirements."
"Otherwise, I will follow your wishes and evacuate them all. When one of them captures the Kingdom of Zhao, I will reinstate them to their posts!"
After hearing Dongfang Yingzheng's angry questioning, Shangguan Haoming couldn't help but tremble.
There was no way he could answer Dongfang Yingzheng's words. Let's just say that he offended a large number of people at once.
But he still insisted on opposing it, and the reasons he gave were simply untenable.
Just when Shangguan Haoming looked helpless and in a dilemma, Murong Fuxing, the right prime minister of Xia Kingdom, suddenly walked out.
"Your Majesty is joking. Prime Minister Zuo Shangguan is also thinking about my country, Xia. Please don't blame me."
After hearing Murong Fuxing's words to smooth things over, Shangguan Haoming couldn't help but have a flash of doubt in his eyes.
He and Murong Fuxing have been rivals for decades. Today, instead of adding insult to injury, they started talking to themselves. Is the sun rising in the west?
For a moment, he couldn't guess what kind of medicine Murong Fuxing was selling in his gourd.
