After hearing the report from the people below, Ling Yun was stunned for a moment.

He secretly wondered in his heart, what could have happened if Emperor Qianxi asked him to come to the palace to pay an audience at this time?

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is almost here, I really can’t stop!

Ling Yun sighed softly and walked out of the courtyard quickly.

"Eunuch Xu?" Ling Yun came to the hall and saw Xu Danian who came to deliver the order, and quickly walked over to say hello.

"Master Linghou."

When Xu Danian saw him, he quickly stood up and returned the greeting.

Hearing the word Hou Ye, Ling Yun was stunned again, obviously not used to this title.

"Eunuch Xu, you and I are friends, there is no need to be as polite as outsiders..." Ling Yun was stunned for a moment, then said calmly, and his tone of voice at this moment was like an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Ling Hou was joking. Although we are old friends, we still need to be called appropriately." When Xu Danian heard Ling Yun say this, he instantly felt a warmth flowing through his heart, but he still insisted on calling Ling Yun Lord Hou. Nothing more than a friendship.

"Okay, that's what you want to call me, just do whatever you want!"

Ling Yun didn't care. Anyway, it was just a call, as long as the person didn't change.

After not seeing each other for a long time, the two chatted for a while.

Finally, Ling Yun asked cautiously, "Eunuch, your Majesty will let me enter the palace. Do you know why?"

Xu Danian had already guessed that he would ask this question, and without thinking, he whispered back, "It's about Zhou Yunzhong and Duan Anyan."

Ling Yun fell into silence after hearing this.

"Linghou, it's getting late." Xu Danian saw that he had been delayed for a long time, so he reminded Ling Yun in a low voice that Emperor Qianxi could not wait too long, otherwise it would be difficult for him to deliver business.

Ling Yun also understood and simply got on the carriage and went together.

After returning to Beijing, except for that day, he has been resting.

This was the first time Emperor Qianxi summoned him after he returned to Beijing.

Although he knew what it was like to enter the palace, Ling Yun didn't want to get involved in this muddy water. Since ancient times, generals who hold military power have been jealous, let alone once they become powerful.

This matter has nothing to do with him in the first place. Besides, Zhou Yunzhong and Duan Anyan have also been handed over to Dali Temple. They can handle this matter how they want. Why should he be allowed to enter the palace to fight?

When I think about it, I feel that this matter is not that simple.

Ling Yun thought: He has no self-respect for the army, nor does he have any thoughts of rebellion, so why do they have to come here to cause trouble?

Although he thought so, Emperor Qianxi did not necessarily think so.

Entering Qianqing Palace, Ling Yun knelt on the ground, "Ling Yun, a humble minister, pays homage to my emperor, long live long live long live long live..."

"Well, get up!" Emperor Qianxi's lazy voice came slowly from above, and Ling Yun stood up.

"Do you know why I came to you?" As soon as Ling Yun stood up, Emperor Qianxi took the lead in asking.

"I don't know, your Majesty, please tell me!" Although Ling Yun knew, he still pretended not to know.

"Oh?" Emperor Qianxi was slightly surprised, probably guessing that Ling Yun was pretending not to know.

"Since you don't know, I'll tell you!" Emperor Qianxi didn't expose him, but looked at him and continued, "Someone impeached me a few days ago. Do you know about this?"

"Wei Chen has some rumors." Ling Yun did not deny that he knew about this matter, because it would be abnormal to say he didn't know.

After all, it concerns you, so even if you pretend to be confused, you still have to pretend to be a bit like it. And this matter involves you, so if you still pretend not to know in front of Emperor Qianxi, it would be like deceiving the emperor.

Emperor Qianxi was very satisfied with Ling Yun's response.

"Since you know, why don't you explain it to me?"

"Aren't you afraid that I will listen to the historian and throw you into a prison?"

Emperor Qianxi pursed his lips and said thoughtfully.

These words are somewhat intimidating.

"Your Majesty is an eternal wise king, and he has worked hard to govern... I believe that your majesty will be able to clearly understand the truth and return my innocence." Ling Yun paused for a moment, and then started the praise mode, praising Emperor Qianxi as an eternal wise king, which made Emperor Qianxi's mouth crack. opened.

"Am I really that powerful?"

"Or are you trying to flatter me on purpose?" Emperor Qianxi's brows were filled with joy, and his eyes were smiling. However, he did not forget about Ling Yun's flattery, and asked in a low voice after being happy.

"Every decision your Majesty makes will be accompanied by the shadow of Mingjun, so why do you need to be praised by humble ministers?" Ling Yun responded without blushing, without feeling a trace of shame or blush because of his wanton praise. These compliments, It came out of his mouth like he didn't want money.

Even Li Rang, who was standing beside him, could hardly stand it anymore.

But who made Emperor Qianxi like to listen? Even though he knew that most of these words were compliments and flattery, Emperor Qianxi showed no sign of being angry and Li Rang did not dare to make a sound.

I just despised Ling Yun in my heart.

"This guy is so shameless..."

Hearing that Emperor Qianxi was suspicious, Ling Yun spoke righteously and said matter-of-factly, "The reason why I say this is not to deliberately flatter Your Majesty, but to state a fact."

When Ling Yun said this, his eyes were transparent and his face was sincere, making it impossible to see any pretense...

Li Rang kept rolling his eyes and even wanted to curse.

Otherwise, he really wouldn't want to endure it if Emperor Qianxi was around.

I kept complaining in my heart, how could a shameless person like Ling Yun exist in this world?

Just when Li Rang continued to curse, Ling Yun's next words made him gnash his teeth with hatred.

He saw Ling Yun looking towards him. In an instant, Li Rang became vigilant because he sensed Ling Yun's evil intentions.

As expected, Ling Yunkuo was heard to say shamelessly, "If your majesty doesn't believe what a humble minister says, why don't you ask Eunuch Li?"

"I believe Eunuch Li understands Your Majesty better than I do." Ling Yun said this with determination and his tone increased.

"Hahaha..." Emperor Qianxi smiled brightly, and glanced at Li Rang thoughtfully. With that meaningful look, he almost asked Li Rang directly if these words were true?

Li Rang was a sensible person and knew very well what Emperor Qianxi's look at him meant. Before Emperor Qianxi could speak, he stood up and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, Marquis Annan is right. Your Majesty is indeed a man of eternity." Mingjun..."

As soon as Li Rang finished his answer, he immediately cast a vicious look at Ling Yun. If looks could kill, Ling Yun would have been cut to pieces by Li Rang's eyes.

Ling Yun shrugged, saying it had nothing to do with him.

Li Rang was so angry that he couldn't help it.

"Hahaha…"

As a result, Emperor Qianxi's hearty laughter rang out in the palace.

It lasted for a long time, which shows how happy Emperor Qianxi was.

"Okay, let's not talk about anything else."

"Let me ask you, how do you think the matter between Zhou Yunzhong and Duan Anyan should be handled appropriately?"

While he was happy, Emperor Qianxi changed the topic and brought the topic back to the normal track.

"Uh..." Ling Yun was stunned.

Because he had never thought about this question, nor did he expect that Emperor Qianxi would ask him so directly.

"Weichen thinks that Dali Temple will handle it fairly." After just a moment's thought, Ling Yun answered cleverly.

"What if I let you handle it?" Emperor Qianxi was not satisfied with this answer, but continued to ask.
