Yun Tianming came out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony with a gloomy face.
He had just returned from exile and was reinstated.
He also knew that he was able to come back because of his future son-in-law Zhao Lin.
Yun Tianming originally had a good impression of this eldest son-in-law.
The youngest number one scholar, the youngest prefect.
He's only 18, but he's already at the same level as me.
The future is limitless.
The most important thing is that Zhao Lin is very good at governance.
Look at what he did, that's what a young man can do.
At least Yun Tianming was still studying at home and preparing for the imperial examinations when he was this age.
but……
Yun Tianming felt uneasy when he thought about Zhao Lin taking charge of both military and political affairs.
This could easily go wrong.
Although all prefects and governors were in charge of both military and political affairs, what military were they in charge of?
They are just a local ragtag army, and their combat effectiveness is not worth mentioning.
Some can't even beat bandits.
But the army led by Zhao Lin was the real Qingzhou army.
Thirty thousand Qingzhou troops are enough to influence a medium-sized battle.
And it was a war between countries.
Moreover, I heard that the Qingzhou Army often suppresses rebellions and bandits, and is no worse than those trained on the battlefield.
Having such an army under his command is more than what a prefect should have.
And Zhao Lin has now bought another 20,000 horses!
If he has a change of heart...
Yun Tianming didn't dare to think further.
Although Qingzhou is poor and Zhao Lin has only 30,000 soldiers under his command, it would be useless even if he started a rebellion, as it would not be put down soon.
But it will definitely cause great harm to the court and the people.
In particular, Zhao Lin actually joined the eunuch party in order to climb up the ladder.
This shows that his character is definitely not as good as he appears.
Once he gains power, he might become a powerful official.
The country is already in a mess, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is in a precarious situation.
What would happen if Zhao Lin continued to mess around?
Although Li Xingye and Fu Chengwang are both optimistic about Zhao Lin, he seems trustworthy.
But Zhao Lin is so young, it's inevitable that he will become arrogant with such strength. What if someone with bad intentions instigates him...
"We must talk to Masters Fu and Li."
Yun Tianming stopped and waited for Fu Chengwang and Li Xingye.
But after waiting for a while, all the ministers had left and the two men still hadn't come out. After asking the eunuchs, they learned that they had been summoned by the emperor.
"Forget it, there's no rush. I'll go find them when I have time."
Yun Tianming went to the Dali Temple to report for work. When he got off work in the evening, he just got home and received a notice from the servants that the eldest lady had returned.
"father!"
Yun Zhiyi fell to her knees, tears welling up in her eyes.
Yun Tianming was also heartbroken and quickly stepped forward to help him up: "My son, why are you back?"
"My daughter thought she would never see you again."
Yun Zhiyi looked at Yun Tianming, crying and laughing.
Her eyes were red and swollen, and so were Yunmu, Yunheng, and Yunchuan.
He had obviously cried.
Yun Tianming sat down and sighed, "I, your father, also thought I would be buried there for the rest of my life, but I never thought I would be reinstated one day. This is all thanks to you for finding a good husband."
Yun Zhiyi smiled shyly: "It's because my husband took pity on me that he used his military merits to bring my father back."
Yunmu said, "Zhiyi has found a good husband. It's a pity that your sister was bought away. I don't know where she went. I wonder if we will ever see her again in this life."
As Yunmu spoke, tears began to flow.
Yun Zhiyi quickly said, "Don't worry, mother. My husband has already sent people to look for her. She will be found soon."
Yun Tianming asked, "What does Zhao Lin usually do in Qingzhou?"
Yun Zhiyi thought Yun Tianming wanted to know more about Zhao Lin, so she quickly told him everything he usually did.
Yun Tianming was surprised and said, "Zhao Lin actually even reclaimed the land? In just one year?"
"Yes. He has reclaimed a lot of land. Even if there is another flood this year and the harvest is poor, the people of Qingzhou will not starve." Yun Zhiyi said proudly.
Yun Tianming was silent.
Yun Heng said: "I didn't expect my brother-in-law to be so powerful, much better than us."
Yunchuan said, "Not to mention us, I think even the elders in the court can't compare to him. I really want to meet him and see what this young lady's husband looks like."
In terms of age, Yunchuan is older than Zhao Lin and is 19 years old this year.
But he still has to call Zhao Lin brother-in-law.
Yun Zhiyi quickly said, "I came back this time, firstly to greet my parents, and secondly, because I want you to go to Qingzhou."
"Why do you want them to go to Qingzhou?" Yun Tianming asked.
Yun Zhiyi said, "The Crown Prince and Prince Yu are fighting fiercely. My husband is afraid that you will get involved in the conflict in the capital, so he wants them to go to Qingzhou to take shelter."
Yun Heng was immediately moved.
He was older and knew more, so he said, "What my brother-in-law said makes a lot of sense. Even though the capital seems calm right now, there are undercurrents. It's not good to stand on either side, so it's better to avoid it."
Yun Tianming shook his head and said, "I'm only a fifth-rank official. There are a lot of them in the capital. No one wants me to take sides, and I don't have the qualifications to do so."
Yun Heng said meaningfully: "It didn't exist before, but it exists now."
Yun Tianming was stunned.
Yun Heng simply said, "Maybe my brother-in-law himself doesn't have the power to influence the fight for the throne, but he has three big figures behind him. Zhu Zhongyan, Li Xingye, and Fu Chengwang."
"Fu Chengwang is the Minister of Rites and the leader of the Chu Party. Li Xingye is the prefect of Shengjing and a member of the royal family. No matter who they support, they are a powerful force. Those people will definitely be tempted."
"If we can win him over, he's our friend. If we can't, he's our enemy. He might be safe in Qingzhou, but the same can't be said for us."
