"Your Majesty ......" Wei Lingfeng was surprised and was speechless for a while.

He asked Emperor Liang to forgive the entire Wei family after recovering the rivers and mountains, but Emperor Liang now directly named him Hou and granted him such a high power!

The first assistant and the general, holding the military power, is really the first minister of the Great Liang Dynasty, no one can match!

"Ling Feng, get up quickly and take the order."

Seeing that Wei Lingfeng had been kneeling, Zhou Tianyi, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but remind him.

Wei Lingfeng suddenly came to his senses, hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, and then stood up.

Emperor Liang nodded, and motioned to the attendant standing next to him to take out the Shang Fang sword from the inner room, and Emperor Liang took the Shang Fang sword, stood up from the carved rosewood stool, came to Wei Lingfeng, and personally handed the sword to Wei Lingfeng.

"Wei Aiqing, from now on, you are fully responsible for the entire war! This sword is proof of this! ”

Wei Lingfeng held Shang Fang's sword, and his heart was moved.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

No more to say, in the face of Emperor Liang's trust, although the burden on his shoulders is a thousand catties, Wei Lingfeng's heart is surging, even if he lets himself go to the soup, he will not give up!

"Shadow, Master Li, the emperor was able to successfully rescue him from the palace this time, thanks to you!" After leaving the room, Wei Lingfeng and the others went to another inner room to discuss public affairs.

"Lord Shizi, I was originally your secret guard. What does the prince want to do, and the shadow will only take his life to complete the orders given by the prince. Ying knelt down on one knee and said to Wei Lingfeng.

"Get up, you have a lot to do with the success of this mission!" Wei Lingfeng looked at the shadow and said.

Ying Yiyan stood up.

"Now that war is inevitable, we have enough men and horses, but we have few generals. Shadow, from today onwards, you are no longer my secret guard, I appoint you as the deputy general of the Flying Cavalry Battalion, and accept the direct leadership of Song Ren! ”

Ying was startled, and looked at Wei Lingfeng with disbelief on his face.

Most of these secret guards are orphans, belong to the family, and have been raised by their masters since they were children, and the master's orders are their everything.

Their lives belong to their masters, and their lives are decided by their masters. But now that Wei Lingfeng said this, he was obviously giving him freedom!

This is even more shocking than rewarding him with gold, silver and jewels after completing the mission!

Moreover, in addition to giving him freedom, Wei Lingfeng also gave him an official position and status.

Ying didn't know how to describe his mood, and for a while, he just looked at Wei Lingfeng with a face full of surprise.

"Ei, aren't you grateful?" Song Ren said with a smile next to him.

Compared with Wei Lingfeng's acceptance of Emperor Liang's marquis just now, Song Ren couldn't help but think that the two masters and servants were really the same!

Ying immediately reacted, knelt down on one knee again, and said to Wei Lingfeng: "Ying Xie Shiziye!" The great grace of the prince, the shadow is unforgettable in this life, and it will be reciprocated! ”

"There is no need to repay the favor." Wei Lingfeng shook his head and said to the shadow: "Since you are no longer my secret guard now, you will definitely not be able to summon the shadow in the future, so you can give yourself a name!" ”

"Shadow begs the prince to give him a name!" Shadow said.

Wei Lingfeng pondered for a moment and said, "Then you will be called, Wei Ying." How is it? ”

Wei Ying nodded, and thanked Wei Lingfeng again.

Song Ren walked over and patted Ying's shoulder and said, "From now on, you will follow me." Shadow Admiral! ”

"General Song." Ying hugged his fist at Song Ren and said, "If there are any deficiencies in the future, please ask General Song for more guidance!" ”

"You're welcome!"

After the two exchanged pleasantries, everyone came to the Jingzhou defense map and officially began to discuss business.

"Now the forces in Jingzhou are mainly controlled by Li Sen and Wei Guogong. Li Sen has a large sphere of influence, deep connections in the DPRK and China, and Wei Guogong has sufficient soldiers and horses. Zhou Tianyi glanced at Wei Lingfeng and said.

Wei Lingfeng nodded, after the Wei family itself was a military general, it was even valued by the imperial court. Coupled with the fact that Wei Guogong held the Huoyun Order in his hand, the chips in the Wei family's hands could be said to be on a par with Li Sen.

The two powerful ministers competed for the world and were evenly matched. Although they have now won the support of the tribes in the Western Regions, it will take a long time for the soldiers and horses to come here from the frontier. Now the soldiers and horses they can use are composed of three parts, one is directly under the orders of Emperor Liang's several battalions, the second is a gang composed of Zhou Tianyi, Li Sheng and other people in the rivers and lakes, and the third is the army seconded from Huazhou and Yunzhou.

"In terms of soldiers and horses, Li Sen has the least, we are in the middle, and Wei Guogong has the most." Song Ren said.

"Don't worry too much about the affairs of the soldiers and horses, the army of the Western Regions tribe to support Daliang has already set off. As long as we can hold out until that moment, Jingzhou will return to us sooner or later. I'm afraid that they will strike first, and we can't resist it! Wei Lingfeng said.

Song Ren nodded, agreeing with Wei Lingfeng's statement.

They have their own advantages with Li Sen and Wei Guogong, although Li Sen has the fewest soldiers, but his victory has deep roots in the DPRK. He has coveted the throne of the emperor for a long time, and he has been gradually planning since a long time ago, not only in the court, but also in the harem, such as the empress Shangguan Yan'er and the concubine Shen who bewitched the king.

Now, after many turnovers and planning, Emperor Liang has been rescued by them and temporarily settled here. It's just that Emperor Liang has been in deficit for a long time, and it is impossible to be the coach, so Emperor Liang will hand over this trust to Wei Lingfeng.

"Shadow, you still have to talk about the general situation in the palace from the time you sneaked into the palace to the time you rescued the emperor!" Wei Lingfeng said to the shadow.

At the beginning, Pai Ying tried his best to sneak into the palace, and the original intention was to protect Emperor Liang. But the situation became more and more uncontrollable. Emperor Liang categorically couldn't stay in the palace anymore, so Wei Lingfeng and Lin Changsheng designed it, and with the help of Li Sheng, let Ying rescue Emperor Liang from the palace.

But after that, the whole palace was like an iron bucket, and not even a bird could fly into it. Regarding the intelligence in the palace, Wei Lingfeng almost couldn't grasp it at all, so he could only passively be led by the situation all the time.

Ying nodded and said, "I was ordered by the prince to sneak into the palace to protect the emperor, and I have been secretly serving by the emperor's side. Although the emperor ostensibly ignored the government, he was actually forced to do so. As we all know, the emperor and his favorite concubine Shen Concubine had died as early as the hunt, although Dr. Lin and his wife used secret methods to save them. But this secret method also has side effects, not only do you need to use pills to prolong your life, but the meridians and bones of the whole body will be extremely painful! For the sake of the stability of the beam, the emperor has never dared to declare, but has been relying on smoking cigarettes to relieve discomfort. Concubine Shen was also one of the dead soldiers raised by Li Sen, she was good at illusion and good at confusing people's minds. Concubine Shen was sent to the palace since she was a child, followed the queen, and monitored the queen for Li Sen. ”

"The emperor has long known that she is Li Sen's person, and after transferring her to his side, the emperor dotes on her on the surface, but actually tortures her in every possible way. Concubine Shen couldn't bear the emperor's torture to extract a confession, and vomited everything she could know, so the emperor spared her life and stayed by her side as a favorite concubine. It's just that Li Sen didn't know that the information provided to him by Concubine Shen was actually what the emperor wanted him to know. ”

"Our emperor, it's not simple." Li Sheng said, "Medioccrity is just the appearance, but in fact, it is scheming. Even if he is as scheming as Li Sen, he has not been able to get half of the benefits from him! ”

"After all, it is the Ninety-Five, and it is not easy for anyone who can sit in this position!" Wei Lingfeng said.

"Exactly." Ying continued, "Before I gained the trust of Emperor Liang, I almost always believed that what I saw was true. Later, I took an opportunity to show everything to the emperor. The emperor immediately kept me by his side, but told me not to pass too much news from the palace! ”

"At that time, you sent me a letter and told me not to go back to Jingzhou, which is also the emperor's intention?" Wei Lingfeng asked.

"Exactly." Shadow said.

Although the emperor was not completely controlled by Li Sen, he couldn't think of a way to escape from Li Sen's control for a while. The prince has always been a rare general in the Liang Dynasty, and the emperor wanted to keep the prince at that time, and he didn't want the prince to take risks! ”

Wei Lingfeng nodded, and couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart.

It is said that capable people are jealous. After the Wei family made such a big mistake, Emperor Liang was still willing to give the Wei family a chance, and he used himself so much, I have to say that this kind of mind is really rare.

"Director Li, you have helped me this time, and Wei is grateful. Daliang and the Wei family will remember your kindness! Wei Lingfeng turned to Li Sheng and said.

Li Sheng smiled and said casually: "Remember it or not, we don't care." After everything is settled, I can hand over Aoki to me. ”

"Okay." Wei Lingfeng responded.

Before he officially met with Li Sheng, Wei Lingfeng was not at all sure whether he could move Li Sheng to support them in recovering the rivers and mountains.

But Li Sheng helped them many times in the midst of fire and water. Lin Changsheng also tried his best to introduce him in the middle, so these days, Wei Lingfeng found an opportunity to enter Beijing to meet Li Sheng and reached an agreement.

Li Sheng's condition is very simple, he wants to deal with Aoki personally.

Aoki is Li Sen's military advisor and confidant, and has been hiding in the shadows. According to Li Sheng, this person held the other half of the Qingmu Pear Flower Sect in his hand.

"This sword book is the most precious thing in the pie. After the two of them turned their eyes, they each held half of it. Only when this sword book is combined into one can it bring out its profound martial arts mysteries. If you only cultivate half of it, you will go mad. ”

"This half of the sword book must not be left in Aoki's hands. It's just that he has always been protected by Li Sen, and I can't do anything about him. Now is the right time for me to eradicate the remnants of the sect! ”

"The Qingmu Pear Flower Sect used to be the sworn enemy of the royal family, and it is really heroic for the owner of Li Yuan to help me regardless of his past suspicions!" Wei Lingfeng hugged his fists at Li Sheng.

Li Sheng smiled and said: "The grievances and grievances are all from the past, and there is no reason for us descendants to bear the bitter fruits planted by our predecessors." ”

"I only wish that the mountains and rivers are clear and the people live in peace!" Li Sheng said.
