After Linghu Yu sent Huan Fan away, he immediately repaired a letter to Wang Ling, this time he no longer had any hesitation, put down the pen like flying, brushed the ground and wrote, and then sealed it with fire paint, called a confidant of the family over, and told him to personally send it to Wang Ling's hand.

This letter is extraordinary, once the things mentioned in the letter are leaked, it will definitely be a disaster of killing the head and exterminating the clan, even if he is dead, he will be dug up from the coffin and whipped the corpse, so Linghu Yu sent his most trusted family member, and he has also traveled back and forth to Yanzhou and Huainan many times to deliver letters, and he is quite familiar with this road.

The family Ding hid the letter, left Yanzhou overnight, and went straight to Shouchun.

When he arrived in Shouchun, he went straight to the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion, because he came to Wang Ling's Mansion many times, he was naturally familiar with the stewards of the Wang's house, but in the past he always handed over the letter to the steward of the Wang family, and the steward of the Wang family handed it over to Wang Ling, this family came to Shouchun many times, but did not have the opportunity to see Wang Ling.

But this time it was different, because of Ling Huyu's special advice, he asked to face Wang Ling.

The steward of the Wang family was slightly displeased, but they still reported to Wang Ling and took the family to see Wang Ling.

Wang Ling has just accepted the latest appointment of the imperial court and assumed the post of Tai Lieutenant, Wang Ling did not show much joy for this happy event, Sima Yi, an old ghost, is very treacherous, who knows what ulterior motives he will have.

Everything that happened in Luoyang was actually the last thing Wang Ling wanted to see, for so many years, he and Sima Yi looked at each other, hostile to each other, calculating each other, and wishing they could defeat each other. For Sima Yi to become an auxiliary minister, Wang Ling has always been obsessed with it, and he can't wait to replace him.

But the Luoyang incident shocked Wang Ling, although he was not Cao Shuang's direct cronies, but Sima Yi's control of the imperial court was the most unfavorable to Wang Ling.

With Sima Yi's character of retribution, after dealing with Cao Shuang, he must continue to exclude dissidents, and Wang Ling, who is Sima Yi's biggest opponent in the court, will naturally bear the brunt of being targeted.

Therefore, when the news of the Luoyang Incident reached Huainan, Wang Ling seemed to be panicked, after so many years of dealing, he knew Sima Yi too well, and if Sima Yi was allowed to gain power, he would never give the hostile opponent any chance.

What to do, do you just sit back and wait? After so many years of hard work, of course Wang Ling refused to be captured, but he still held the soldiers and horses of the southeast defense line in his hands, and no matter how much he had the capital to fight with Sima Yi, no matter how bad it was, surrendering to Dongwu with the land of Huainan would at least be able to change an official and a half-post in Dongwu.

Even Wang Ling can think of Sima Yi's means of dealing with him, which is nothing more than a clear promotion and secret debasement, and transfer him back to Beijing, if Wang Ling refuses to obey the order, he will be labeled as a rebel by Sima Yi and send troops to fight for him, if Wang Ling accepts the appointment and returns to Luoyang, he will become a fish on the chopping board, and let Sima Yi slaughter him.

In Huainan, Wang Ling had a lot of horses in his hands, and when he returned to Luoyang, he really had nothing.

Sure enough, it didn't surprise Wang Ling, not long after the Luoyang Incident, the imperial court's holy decree arrived.

Although the edict was made by a eunuch sent by the palace, Wang Ling knew that the content of the decree was not from the hand of the Son of Heaven, but all of it was Sima Yi's meaning, and it was just a pretense of the name of the Son of Heaven.

However, since it is a holy decree stamped with a seal, Wang Ling has to follow the rules to receive the decree, when the eunuch who passed the decree read out that Wang Ling was named a lieutenant, Wang Ling secretly sneered, as expected, Sima Yi was going to do it!

Of course, Wang Ling will not be captured, obediently return to Luoyang to let Sima Yi slaughter, he is ready, once Sima Yi moves, he will resist, if Sima Yi dares to send troops to come, then he will simply surrender to Eastern Wu, borrow the hand of Eastern Wu, to deal with Sima Yi.

This was a plan that Wang Ling had planned in advance, but when the eunuch who announced the decree finally read out that Wang Ling was still the governor of Yangzhou, the general of Zhengdong, Wang Ling was stunned.

Sima Yi sang that one?

If Sima Yi had the heart to deal with Wang Ling, he would inevitably use the means of ascending and descending secretly, whether it was Taiwei or Situ, he would casually give Wang Ling the position of the third duke, hold it high, and then order him to return to Beijing to take up his post, and when he arrived in Beijing, everything was no longer up to Wang Ling.

But the official position of the lieutenant was given, but Wang Ling's original position has not changed at all, and he continues to be the leader of the southeast defense line, that is to say, although Wang Ling has become a lieutenant, he does not have to go to Luoyang to perform his duties, can it be said that there is really such a good thing?

Wang Ling was a little suspicious that he had misheard, after all, he was old, and Wang Ling's ears were a little back, and it was very likely that he didn't hear clearly, so after Wang Ling received the decree, he deliberately read the decree.

That's right, the holy decree is clearly written and clear, Wang Ling was promoted to lieutenant, and he still served as the governor of Yangzhou, the general of Zhengdong.

This is undoubtedly the addition of a distinguished position of the third prince to Wang Ling's original status, which is equivalent to giving away such an official position for nothing. You must know that the position of this captain is a position that many officials who have been up and down in the sea have dreamed of all their lives, but there are many monks and few porridges, and the positions of the three princes are only three in total, one radish and one pit, it stands to reason that no matter how Wang Ling turns, it will not be Wang Ling's turn.

Wang Ling couldn't help but be a little confused, what was Sima Yi's intention? Giving Wang Ling a position as a third prince for nothing? This is obviously not in line with Sima Yi's consistent style.

Of course, Wang Ling would not believe that Sima Yi would be so kind, and he was not his confidant, and he did not help in this incident, so it was too puzzling how many people looked forward to the position of Tai Lieutenant that would fall on his head.

In fact, not only Wang Ling was puzzled, but many people inside and outside the court were shocked, originally this position belonged to Jiang Ji, with the relationship between Jiang Ji and Sima Yi, others did not dare to think about it at all.

However, after Jiang Ji's unexpected death, the vacant position of Tai Lieutenant has almost become a coveted target, and many people are fighting openly and secretly, and they are fighting each other just to get this position.

Unexpectedly, none of these ministers who worked hard for the Sima family in the Luoyang Incident were on the wheel, but Wang Ling, who was thousands of miles away, became the owner of the Taiwei seat.

This makes many people unable to understand, what kind of medicine is sold in Sima Yi's gourd?

This made many people, including Wang Ling, puzzled.
