"In Weichen's humble opinion, he can delay the army first, and agree to Li Ruiyun's request, and the ministers will try their best to inform the prince of Guangling and rescue the emperor from the tiger's den as soon as possible......" Zhao Yu read Ling Yun's letter repeatedly, surprised and delighted, and his heart was turbulent.

"The emperor's ......" Ding Jiying and Zheng Yifei looked at the emperor eagerly, waiting for him to decide the current situation of life and death.

The emperor pondered for a long time, instructed Zheng Yifei to take the fire fold, set the letter on fire, and quietly watched the letter turn into ashes little by little.

At the end, he raised his head, looked at Ding Jiying intently, and said in a deep voice: "Jiying, I really can't believe that you are so loyal to me. With the help of loyal ministers like you, am I still worried that I can't recover the Song Dynasty? ”

Ding Jiying leaned over and knelt down, "With the emperor's golden words, Weichen dares to disobey the work of dogs and horses!" ”

A trace of burning heat swelled in the emperor's eyes, and he said in a voiced voice: "In this situation, everyone else is inclined to become inflammatory, and they run to Li Ruiyun to flatter and flatter, and they are afraid of avoiding me; Only Aiqing, who is not afraid of danger and is wholeheartedly loyal to me, aren't you afraid of being discovered by your father or Li Ruiyun and inviting you to kill you? ”

Looking at the emperor's weeping expression, his eyes were filled with unreserved trust and ardent hope, Ding Jiying only felt a rippling warm current gushing out from the bottom of his heart, instantly flowing all over his limbs, and his voice became hoarse.

"My father is now bewitched by Li Ruiyun's tricks, and he has gone mad, and he can't listen to anyone's persuasion at all, and Weichen is helpless against him. Wechen did this to help my father redeem a little sins, to save my father and family, and also to save myself! ……”

When it came to the end, he couldn't stop crying.

Zhao Yu's heart seemed to be wet at that moment, and he sighed: "Ding Jinzhi can have such a son who understands righteousness and loyalty, it is really a blessing that he has cultivated in several lifetimes!" ”

Listening to the emperor's praise, Ding Jiying's face couldn't help but feel hot, and he hurriedly lowered his head, not knowing how to express his excitement in words for a while; After a while, he said: "The emperor is serious, in fact, Weichen has only fulfilled his obligations as a courtier......"

The emperor sighed: "If everyone thought like you, my Great Song Dynasty would not have fallen to the point it is today......"

Ding Jiying choked in his throat and couldn't say anything for a moment.

The emperor pondered for a moment, breaking the silence of the moment, "It's just that I still don't understand one thing, how did you get in touch with Ling Yun?" ”

Ding Jiying said: "It's hard to say. I owe it to my virtuous and wise lady. ”

"Your lady?" The emperor was a little stunned for a moment and didn't react.

Zheng Yifei reminded on the side: "Have you forgotten, Ding Gongzi's wife is Miss Lu, the pearl of Lord Lu!" ”

Oh, yes, yes, after they reminded me, I remembered that I had married Ding Jinzhi's son Ding Jiying and Lu Wenzheng's daughter Lu Qiuyue; Although it has experienced some ups and downs, this pair of golden boys and girls who are the right pair of people are finally a perfect match, and the lovers finally become married.

Thinking that he has contributed to another golden and jade relationship, the emperor was once complacent about his wise decision!

Narrator: Your Majesty, you feel good about yourself, do you know that you were a messy mandarin duck at the beginning, but you broke up a pair of lovers and even caused them to part with life and death?

Without further ado, let's get down to business. At this time, everyone gathered together to bring up the old things, and after thinking about it, the emperor already understood the general situation of the matter.

Lu Qiuyue is the daughter of Lu Wenzheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Lan Xinhui is regarded as a treasure by Lu Wenzheng; And Ling Yun was the commander of the guards of the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department, and Lu Wenzheng's right-hand man, cronies and nephews relied on the most.

The scandal between the two was also spread for a time, with noses and eyes; Although Lao Yan is now flying separately and has their own experiences, there is no doubt that the close and even somewhat ambiguous relationship between them at the beginning is beyond doubt.

So now, it is reasonable that Ling Yun and Lu Qiuyue still have some connections.

Thinking of the past and those beautiful scenes, the emperor can't tell what it feels like in his heart.

He was a little melancholy, then raised his head and chuckled: "It seems that not only Ding Jinzhi has a good son, but Lu Wenzheng has also raised a beautiful and intelligent, affectionate and righteous daughter!" ”

Ding Jiying's face sneered: "The emperor has won the award." However, all these things in recent days are thanks to my virtuous and sensible good lady! A few days ago, I told my wife about the emperor, and she flew a pigeon to pass the book to Ling Yun, so I had this letter from Ling Yun. ”

The emperor's originally gloomy eyes reflected a scorching look, "As long as I can restore the Song family in my lifetime, I will definitely not forget you!" Jiying, Miss Lu, Zheng Shiwei, Ling Yun...... All those who have helped me in times of crisis—I will be rewarded heavily! ”

Ding Jiying smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't want any reward, I just ask the emperor to pardon the death penalty of his father, and allow Weichen's family to return to their hometown and spend the rest of their lives in peace, and Weichen is grateful." ”

The emperor stared at him with a smile on his lips from beginning to end, "I will promise you." ”

Ding Jiying said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

The emperor lowered his head and lowered his eyes, as if he was hesitant; Then he looked up at Ding Jiying, and said with a solemn expression: "By the way, Jiying, where Ling Yun is now, do you know?" “

"This ...... Please forgive Weichen for not knowing. Ding Jiying frowned, shook his head and said: "Lingyun was forced by Li Ruiyun to drink the wine, and although he escaped by chance, he was still in danger around him, and there were many dangers, in order to avoid the pursuit of the heavenly owls, he hid in Tibet and had no fixed residence, so he ......"

"Aiqing's words are reasonable," the emperor nodded thoughtfully; He paused slightly, and a deep darkness appeared in his suppressed eyes, "Although Ling Yun has no fixed residence, Aiqing also said it just now, through Miss Lu...... Mrs. Ahzun may be able to contact him; Since the last time I said goodbye to the palace, there have been many changes in the meantime, which can be described as earth-shaking, things are wrong, and now for the rest of my life, I really want to see him and talk to him again! ”

"What does this emperor want to do, he actually wants Ling Yun to enter the palace in person to face the saint and come here to see him, isn't this the rhythm of sending him to death?" Ding Jiying rolled his eyes almost invisibly, and sneered, "Do you think that now is still the era when you called for wind and rain and worshiped all ministers?" “

"But Your Majesty, this seems to be a bit difficult! ......" Ding Jiying's face showed a look of embarrassment, "Now that the palace is heavily guarded and full of dangers, wouldn't it be too dangerous for Ling Yun to come to this murderous Inner Palace alone?" If you don't pay attention to collide with Li Ruiyun, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

"Oh," the emperor seemed a little disappointed, and couldn't help but pull the corners of his lips self-deprecatingly, "Then forget it." ”

Zheng Yifei was observing the words and expressions on the side, and at this time he opened his mouth, "Jiying, otherwise, you go back and discuss it with Mrs. Zun again, try to contact Ling Yun, and convey the emperor's meaning to him, just say that the emperor misses him very much, and there are some very important things to negotiate with him face-to-face, see if he can find a way to come to the palace?" ”

- What is this, is this a coercive order in a deliberative tone? On the surface, it is up to you to come, but the actual meaning is that you have to come!

Ding Jiying glanced at the two monarchs and ministers in front of him with dear eyes, and complained in his heart, "You two sang and harmonized, and cooperated quite tacitly, but you threw this hot potato to me......"

"Okay, I'll give it a try." He nodded helplessly, and the corners of his mouth pulled out a smile that was more ugly than crying.

At night, there were no stars and no moons, and the sky was gloomy and depressed, as if it was about to rain like a torrential rain. In late spring and early summer, this is the common weather.

When Ding Jiying and Lu Qiuyue discussed for a long time, and finally wrote the letter about Lingyun coming to the palace to see the driver, and passed it to Lingyun through the flying pigeon, he and Lian Nanchun were sitting opposite each other in the courtyard of Zhaoyin Mountain Residence.

It wasn't until he heard the crisp and melodious chirping of white doves in the distance that Ling Yun's originally wandering gaze found his precise positioning.

He stood up, opened his arms, and caught the beautiful and light little angel he had been looking forward to for a long time......
