The blue sky, without a trace of clouds, strong sunlight shining on the earth, although it is only the end of the second lunar month, but because of the long-term drought, the climate is unusually dry and hot.

Ling Yun, who came out of the back hall, squinted his eyes and looked up at the scorching sun, and muttered in his mouth: "What the hell is this weather?" It hasn't rained in months! The sun has been a little hot for the past two days......"

Just as he was muttering to himself, Ling Yun also came to the meeting room unconsciously, without a trace of restraint, with a light smile on his face, he raised his legs and stepped over the threshold of the meeting room and walked in.

I saw that Zhu Youzhen at this time was sitting on a Taishi chair at the top, looking at Ling Yun with a smile on his face.

The four guards, as well as Wang Chengen, stood respectfully aside.

Facing his future backer, Ling Yun didn't dare to be a little lazy, and hurriedly hurried a few steps, lifted up his shirt and stepped forward to pay homage.

Zhu Youzhen stood up, stretched out his hand to support Ling Yun's arm, and said with a slight smile: "There are no outsiders here, so why be so restrained?" ”

"Humble ......"

When Zhu Youzhen heard this, he pretended to be angry and his face sank, and he elongated his nasal voice and said "Uh-huh......".

Ling Yun paused, looked around, and then smiled so much that he couldn't see his eyebrows, and said to Zhu Youzhen: "Little inspector, why are you here?" ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly: "This is about the same!" By the way, the status of merchants in this dynasty is low, just like pariahs, if you don't do it as a third-grade official, how can you think of being a businessman? ”

When Ling Yun heard this, he rolled his eyes and said: "Little inspector, little inspector, if there is no merchant and goods, what do you eat, what do you wear?" It's really a full man, I don't know how hungry a man is! ”

Just when Ling Yun was muttering to himself and complaining in his heart, Zhu Youzhen smiled and said: "This king knows what you are thinking, in fact, this can't be blamed on you, now the entire Ming Dynasty officials, including the three princes and nine kings in the court, which one of them does not have its own business shop, but you also need to be like them, don't walk around in the open, stay behind, so as not to let the officials of the Yushitai participate in you." ”

"Thank you for the reminder, I'll pay attention to it in the future!"

After Zhu Youzhen nodded, he turned to Wang Chengen and said, "Wang Companion, bring the congratulatory gift!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

As Zhu Youzhen's words fell, Wang Chengen walked in front of Ling Yun with a small wooden box in his hand.

Zhu Youzhen, who was standing on the side, stretched out his hand to take the wooden box, took out the contract of 50,000 acres of Huangzhuang fertile land and 500 tenants from the wooden box, and smiled at Ling Yun and said, "To be honest, this king doesn't know what congratulatory gift to give you!" Come to think of it, what you are missing now may be these ......"

Ling Yun took the title deed from Zhu Youzhen's hand, looked at it carefully for a moment, was shocked, gasped and said, "Hiss...... This little inspector is really generous! 50,000 acres of Huangzhuang fertile land, feelings in this Ming Dynasty, I am also a landlord! ”

Secretly taken aback for a moment, Ling Yun hurriedly hugged his fist at Zhu Youzhen and said, "Humble ......"

"Hmmm......"

"Huh! Xiao Yunzi thanks Xiao Jianzi for his generosity, hee hee ......"

Zhu Youzhen also smiled all over his face, patted Ling Yun's shoulder and said, "What else is polite between you and me?" ”

Suddenly, Ling Yun seemed to think of something, and said with a straight face: "Oh, that's right! Tomorrow, I plan to go to Dengzhou, Shandong with Zhang Gui to select the Flying Eagle Guards from other places, and I may have to leave for a while. Send someone here to spread the word, and someone will come to help. ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded with a smile; "There are tens of thousands of soldiers in the five cities in the capital, and it should not be difficult to select 1,200 soldiers, so why bother to seek the near and far, and the officers and soldiers in the Beijing camp are not short of elite soldiers, so why bother......"

Before Zhu Youzhen's voice fell, Ling Yun interrupted: "It's nothing more than that I want to go far and near, the Flying Eagle Guard belongs to the emperor's army, and I don't want the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, or even Wei Zhongxian, to install their people in it, so I will go to other places to select soldiers." ”

After Zhu Youjian listened, he said with a slight forehead: "What you said is good, but I think it is a little simple!" Since you plan to go to other places to select soldiers, it is better to go sooner rather than later, and you will go to the palace to say hello to the imperial brother in a while, so as not to cause the imperial brother's dissatisfaction. ”

"Thank you Xiao Jianzi for your concern, Xiao Yunzi will remember it in my heart......"

"Wow Kick ......"

Before Ling Yun's words fell, Sun Yaozu ran in from outside, and after saluting Zhu Youzhen, Sun Yaozu said, "Childe, Miss Wei is here!" And it looks like I'm here to give gifts. ”

Ling Yun was slightly stunned and asked Sun Yaozu, "Where is she now?" ”

Sun Yaozu smiled and said, "The villain saw that Gongzi was chatting with His Royal Highness King Xin, so he brought the eldest lady to Gongzi's room. ”

After Ling Yun listened, he turned his head to look at Zhu Youzhen and said, "How is it?" I'm right! Since the law field, Wei Honglian has been forbidden to go out in the mansion by Wei Zhongxian, but now that she has come with gifts, I am afraid that Wei Zhongxian also wants to interfere with the Flying Eagle Guard! ”

Zhu Youzhen's face instantly became a little gloomy and said: "Damn Wei Zhongxian, you really insert a needle when you see a seam, how are you going to solve it?" ”

Ling Yun was embarrassed: "Since Wei Zhongxian is ready to intervene, if he doesn't agree, I'm afraid it will arouse his suspicion, and if he agrees, I'm not reconciled, this is really difficult!" ”

Zhu Youzhen was also in deep thought, for a while the whole room could be heard falling needles, pondering for a long time, the corners of Zhu Youzhen's mouth curled slightly, revealing a hint of a smile and said: "Actually, it's very simple, first accept all the gift slips, just say that in order to hide people's eyes, soldiers and officials are not selected from the local, and you will obey Wei Zhongxian's assignment in the future, and first stabilize it." ”

Ling Yun nodded and said, "It's okay!" I'll go and see, if that's the case, it's even more so, sooner rather than later, solve the problem of soldiers first, lest Wei Zhongxian use other methods to start. ”

Zhu Youzhen also nodded again and again: "In this case, then I will go back to the palace first, so as not to arouse Wei Zhongxian's suspicion." ”

……

After sending Zhu Youzhen away, Ling Yun went to see Wei Honglian.

At this time, Wei Honglian, dressed in a red power suit and wearing a big red cloak on her back, was pacing back and forth in Lingyun's room.

"Squeak!"

With the sound of pushing the door, Ling Yun walked in with a smile on his face, and when he saw Wei Honglian, he smiled slightly: "Why are you here?" ”

Wei Honglian pursed her mouth and snorted coldly: "Hmph! Hearing this, it seems that I really don't want to see this girl. ”

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that." Ling Yun looked embarrassed and said, "Didn't I hear that you were imprisoned in the mansion by the nine thousand years old?" ”

Wei Honglian smiled sweetly at this time; "Cut! He can imprison this girl, and he wants to be beautiful......"

After boasting about herself, Wei Honglian resumed her seriousness: "That's right! Grandfather asked me to send you a congratulatory gift, do you see what you like in these congratulatory gifts? ”

After finishing speaking, Wei Honglian reached out and took a small wooden box from the little maid Qiushuang's hand, opened it and handed it to Ling Yundao: "These are all good shops, and there is a house with three courtyards, which can be described as very valuable!" ”

Ling Yun took the wooden box, only to see that there were a few house deeds in the wooden box, and after a closer look, just a few shops were already the most prosperous places in Beicheng. Grain store, silk village, wine shop, tea house, and a mansion in the north city.

Ling Yun smiled and said, "Such a generous gift, I believe that nine thousand years old can't be as simple as just giving a gift!" ”

Wei Honglian looked at Ling Yun, her eyes blinked, and said, "You can guess this, let's tell you the truth!" Grandfather asked the slave family to tell you that the officials and soldiers of the Eagle Guard were arranged by him......"

Ling Yun shook his head and said: "You go back and tell Jiu Qiansui, the Flying Eagle Guard belongs to the emperor's army, if everything is arranged by Jiu Qiansui, it will inevitably cause displeasure in the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, the officials and soldiers are selected by myself, if Jiu Qiansui's needs it, just give an order." ”

After Wei Honglian listened, she nodded and said; "Hmmm! What you said is not unreasonable, grandfather is still waiting for news at home, and the slave family will go back first, and the slave family will come to you again when there is time. ”

"Hmmm! Then I'll trouble you to tell the nine thousand years old first......"

After Wei Honglian left, Ling Yun looked at the sky forever, and said to Sun Yaozu who was standing behind him with his eyes slightly narrowed: "I'll go to the palace first, you quickly go and gather all our people, and wait for me to come back and make arrangements." ”

"Yes"

Palace

It is rare that the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao, is sitting by the pond in the imperial garden with Empress Zhang, watching the swimming fish in the pond.

The breeze blew gently, and the surface of the water stirred up circles of ripples, and the goldfish leaned near the Emperor of the Apocalypse and Empress Zhang, desperately grabbing the fish food that the two of them threw in the water in the water.

At this moment, a little eunuch hurriedly ran forward, bent down and bowed, and said, "Long live Lord, Commander Ling asks to see you!" ”

When the Emperor of the Apocalypse heard this, he looked at Empress Zhang, who was sitting beside him, and said with a slight smile: "Commander Chuan Ling has come here to see me." ”

"Slave obeys!"

In fact, these eunuchs in the palace are often above the top, especially the people next to the emperor, it is impossible to report easily, even if the report is procrastinating.

But even if Ling Yun didn't have personal experience, he didn't know how much he had seen on TV, and before entering the palace, he had quietly stuffed a bill of exchange into the sleeve of the little eunuch, so he had such a high efficiency.

For these eunuchs, they have cut off their descendants, and they have no descendants, and the only thing they like is money and power.

Not long after, the little eunuch took Ling Yun to the Emperor of the Apocalypse and Empress Zhang.

It's not the first time I've seen the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Ling Yun didn't have the restraints he had before, but when he saw Empress Zhang beside the Emperor of the Apocalypse, he was also slightly stunned, no matter in later generations, or since he crossed over, he has seen countless beauties, but like Empress Zhang, a peerless beauty like a fairy descending to earth, out of the mud and not stained is really the first time to see it.

That is, he was slightly stunned, Ling Yun knelt down in front of the two of them and shouted: "See the emperor for your humble position, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”

Ling Yun didn't know Empress Zhang either, so he didn't know what to call him? So he said nonsense; "I've seen the fairy, I wish the fairy and the emperor immortal blessing eternal longevity and Tianqi."

After listening to this, Emperor Tianqi and Empress Zhang were stunned for a moment, and then they all smiled, and they had heard a lot of words, but it was the first time that they had done this like Ling Yun.

Empress Zhang smiled, revealing her country-like face, exuding a motherly temperament and said, "You are the emperor's newly crowned commander of the Flying Eagle Guard, Ling Yun?" ”

Ling Yun also did not hesitate and replied very neatly; "Back to the fairy's words, exactly!" (Being able to stand side by side with the Emperor of the Apocalypse is by no means an idle person, so Ling Yun does not dare to slack off.) ）

Empress Zhang said with a smile on her face; "The mourning family is not a fairy, you don't want to be so sloppy anymore!"

After listening to Empress Zhang's words, Ling Yun said in his heart: "Mourning family, is he the queen of the dynasty?" This is Empress Zhang, who supported Zhu Youzhen's ascension to the throne, and even Emperor Chongzhen had to give three points, so she must not be a little neglectful. For the sake of the future, let's be a sycophant! ”

Ling Yun bowed his head again and shouted: "It's not that the lowly job is slapping the horse, but the lowly person's admiration for the queen is like the water of the Yangtze River is endless, and it is like the Yellow River flooding and out of control......

The Emperor of the Apocalypse, who was standing aside, smiled and said, "Okay, you can get up!" Tell me, what's the point of coming to me today? ”

"Long live Emperor Xie Wu, long live, long live!"
