Yang Ling finished eating a bowl of porridge, and then said without waves: "I can't say what will happen in the future, if we can't bring the people behind the scenes to justice this time, it will only fuel their arrogance, I hope that the Kyoto Mansion can give Your Majesty and Yang Ling an explanation, otherwise, Yang Ling can only save himself by himself." ”

The emperor looked at Yang Ling cautiously, paused, and said, "Okay." ”

After finishing breakfast, just a moment later, and the Lu Hall is not far from the Golden Palace, the emperor did not take a sedan chair, walked to the Golden Palace, Yang Ling took a step behind him, and walked with him.

Along the way, the emperor asked with concern about Yang Ling's situation in Nanping, such as who was in the family and how his life was now, Yang Ling only said that his family was separated in the war, and now only one wife who is pregnant with Liujia is in Nanping.

The emperor was deeply pleased with the fact that he had been married, and proposed that he take his wife to Beijing, Yang Ling refused on the grounds that he was too old to travel long distances, and the emperor was not disappointed, only said that he would come to Beijing when the child was born in the future.

The meaning of the words is to leave Yang Ling in Beijing.

Yang Ling did not object.

He went to Beijing this time, and naturally he did not plan to return in vain.

Not long after, outside the Golden Palace, the emperor entered the Golden Palace from his special staircase, and Yang Ling waited in the side hall and did not follow in.

Ah Er was still in the side hall, the two plates of pastries had already been eaten, and he was drinking the tea sent by the little palace maid.

The little palace maids inquired about his master, he was eating snacks and drinking tea, and Yang Ling's private life was "sold".

It is true that what he said is irrelevant, and when the little palace maids heard that Yang Ling had married a wife and was about to have a baby, they were all sad and regretful, but when they thought about it, it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, so they were not so sad.

Of course, Ah Er didn't spend all his time on picking up girls, he also took the opportunity to inquire about some things in the palace, daily life in the palace, secrets in the palace, it seems to be just gossip, but these news have passed Ah Er's ears, and he can always analyze something useful.

For example, last night, the second prince Lu Mo was called to the Yilan Hall late at night, and when he came out, he was disgraced, and he didn't know what a big mistake he had made.

Ah Er guessed that it was probably related to the assassination last night, even if he didn't do it, he couldn't escape the suspicion of being an accomplice.

After Yang Ling came in, the little palace maids began to offer hospitality again, serving tea and water thoughtfully.

There are voices coming from the Golden Palace from time to time, because the sound insulation effect is good, and someone like Yang Ling has excellent ear power, and he can't hear what he says.

Not long after, a eunuch came to invite Yang Ling to the palace, and when he went to the palace, he walked through the main gate.

The hundreds of military officials on the main hall were lined up on both sides, and Yang Ling walked through the middle, receiving the baptism of curious or hostile gazes.

Yang Ling walked to the Danqi very calmly and bowed half-kneeling.

The emperor sitting on the dragon chair wore a dragon robe and a crown, and the ornaments hanging from the crown covered his face, making it difficult to see his expression.

Even if he wears a dragon robe, he doesn't feel spiritual, lifeless, but there is still a bit of majesty.

"No courtesy."

Yang Ling stood up and stood calmly in front of the hundred officials.

"Mu Nanyun Mu Du Jun has already recommended you, saying that you have made great contributions in the battle against Di Yi, single-handedly burned Di Yi's grain and grass, and defeated Di Yi's general Aroqiu, which allowed the Mu family army to pursue the victory and drive the Di Yi soldiers back to their lair, like you, a talent who can be civil and martial arts is exactly what the court can't want, I want you to enter the court to serve the country, Yang Ling, what do you mean?"

There is no shortage of old ministers in the court, but the old ministers are not able to enter and leave the harem often, so there are not many people in the court who can see the true face of the first queen. Therefore, ninety percent of the courtiers did not connect Yang Ling with the former empress, and most of them only regarded him as a young man with both civil and military skills, and some even had the intention of wooing him for their own use.

It is true that there are also a small number of people who have recognized it, including the old Wang family and the direct family of the Rong family.

The old department of the Wang family has been transformed, although it is still serving in the court, but it is well disguised, as for the direct line of the Rong family, it is the vanguard army that overthrew the Wang family, and naturally they have all seen the real person or portrait of the queen.

At this time, the old Wang family and the Rong family naturally had their own thoughts, and secretly exchanged glances with their respective factions.

Even if Yang Ling didn't look at them, he knew all kinds of scrutinizing eyes behind him.

He shook his head upright, and said clearly: "The emperor's kindness, Yang Ling understands it, but Yang Ling still has his wife who is pregnant with Liujia at home, Yang Ling is really not at ease, and I implore Your Majesty to let Yang Ling go back to his hometown to take care of his wife first, and then go to Beijing to discuss this matter after his wife gives birth." ”

The emperor raised his eyes to look at him and laughed loudly, "You young people, I understand, the newlywed Yan'er likes to be tired of being together. However, it's not that I'm unreasonable, it's true, now the imperial court is the time to employ people, and for a talent like you, who is both civil and military, I am even more thirsty, if not, I will send the best medical girl and Wen Po in the palace to Nanping to ensure that your wife can give birth safely, and when the children are born, and then take them into the capital, you will be at ease to be the pillar of your court, and when your wife and beloved son come to Beijing, she will be the official wife, and she will definitely be happier. ”

Yang Ling still shook his head: "Yang Ling was born in the countryside, he has no strength and strength, if he talks about being an official, he has neither experience nor talent, I am afraid he will not be competent." ”

The emperor couldn't tell whether Yang Ling was sincerely refusing or pretending to resign, but whether it was true or not, he was bound to keep him.

"It doesn't matter if you have no experience, all the ministers in the hall started from inexperience, and they were not born to be officials. Ministers, don't you say? ”

The military officials in the hall responded sparsely: "Yes, the minister was very clumsy back then, thanks to His Majesty's tolerance and teachings. "Yunyun.

Yang Ling had no other reason to say, and the emperor made a decision: "Let's decide like this." For the time being, you will go to the command of Mu Dujun, follow him for training, and then temporarily join the army. ”

This is not a position with real power, and it has nothing to do with the ministers of the court, so it has not stirred up any big waves in the court, although everyone is still muttering in their hearts, just one joins the army, Mu Nanyun himself has the right to be promoted, why do you have to help Emperor Lao personally?

Those in the know know that this is Yang Ling's deep background, and those who don't know feel that this Yang Ling's background must be extraordinary, and they must pay more attention in the future.

The Emperor issued a decree of appointment, a decree of commendation, and a mansion for his bravery in the great battle of the previous fall, as well as for his contribution to the treatment of the plague.

Today's court meeting is like his commendation meeting.

But until the end of the court meeting, the emperor did not mention the assassination last night.

The emperor didn't mention it, and Yang Ling didn't mention it either. Because it happened late at night, the Wuxun Yuan, who was present at the time, did not take over the case, and everyone hurried to the court early in the morning, and the court sentenced that there was no time to gossip about this matter with the courtiers.

Although the verdict was stupid, he was not stupid, he was well versed in the way of being an official, and seeing that everyone had no intention of mentioning it, and the Kyoto Prefecture that connected the case did not mention it, he decided to let this matter rot in his stomach, and he must not let the gossip flow out of him first.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, many officials came up to say hello to Yang Ling, some wanted to take the opportunity to make friends, and some took the opportunity to watch the excitement, Mu Nanyun took him to meet some courtiers, all of whom were military attachés.

Mu Nanyun didn't return to the capital for a few years, and he didn't have a deep relationship with the bureaucrats in the past, and after he came back, he was still a military attaché, and he didn't have any dealings with those civil officials, some of them were familiar, and some of them weren't even familiar, so he didn't go up to introduce Yang Ling.

But later, the prince introduced some more to Yang Ling, all of whom were figures with heads and faces in the court.

Some of Yang Ling's luggage was still in the prince's mansion, and when the courtiers dispersed one after another, the prince asked him to go with him, and by the way, he went with him to see if there was anything else to add to his new mansion.

The prince has something to say about the rhythm Mu Nanyun pulled a pretense and hid. Before leaving, tell Yang Ling that there is no need to rush to report to him, and that he will settle down in the house first.

Some courtiers who left late saw that the prince had asked Yang Ling away, and they were even more sure of Yang Ling's ability: Look, even the prince is trying to win him over!

Out of the Golden Palace, on the road to the palace gate, Si Daofeng blocked the way of several people.

Si Daofeng bowed and said, "Young Master Yang, oh, no, you should be called Yang joined the army, our princess Her Royal Highness wants to invite Yang to join the army to come to the mansion." ”

Lu Xiaoxiao has her own palace in the palace, in the year of the wedding, the emperor built her a princess's mansion outside, she generally lives outside, and occasionally lives in the palace, Si Daofeng said this, it seems that Lu Xiaoxiao is going back to the house.

The prince said: "Yang will stay in the capital after joining the army, and I want to talk about the old days, don't stick to this time, wait for Yang to join the army and settle down." ”

The prince directly rejected Si Daofeng, but Si Daofeng did not force it, but bowed and made way for him.

In the morning, they rode horses together, and when they went back, they still rode back together, and when they arrived at the prince's mansion, the prince took Yang Ling directly to the study.

Yang Ling suddenly didn't see the prince's shelf he put on, and his tone of voice was usually indifferent: "His Royal Highness the Prince, please say anything." ”

"Don't dare, Yang Ling, I just want to remind you of one thing."

There was a warm smile on the corner of Yang Ling's mouth, "Listen up." ”

"I don't care what kind of purpose you have, since you have chosen to enter the court, I hope you can do things well, if I find out that you have other purposes, don't blame me for ...... you"

Before the words "ruthless" could be spoken, Yang Ling chuckled, "If you find out that I have other purposes, what does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want?" ”

The prince glared at him, and he suddenly found that he could not do anything.

Yang Ling is like a beast that can't be tamed, he can eat people, he can't do anything to him in Nanping, and when he arrives in Kyoto, he still can't do anything about him.

Because he was afraid that he would bite himself to death.
