"Your Majesty, I am so virtuous and capable..." Ling Yun had tears in his eyes and was choked with sobs.
At this moment, I was deeply moved.
As soon as he entered the city, his carriage was intercepted. When he discovered that the interceptor was a eunuch from the palace, he suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
He thought that Emperor Qianxi was going to interrogate him, and he was already prepared to plead guilty and accept punishment. He was thinking hard about how to escape the disaster at the hands of Emperor Qianxi, but the outcome was beyond his expectation. Emperor Qianxi not only patted He put his shoulder on his shoulder to comfort him, and even sent him additional troops and horses to allow him to continue fighting against the reckless army. Before this, Ling Yun had never dared to think of such an approach.
He wanted to attack the Mang army and take revenge...but he knew very well that Emperor Qianxi and even the ministers and officials would never allow him to do this, because before he came back, he had heard the news that the court wanted to negotiate peace.

Negotiating peace was the outcome he least wanted to see. If he could not avenge Jing Zishi, Wu Feichen, and the more than 10,000 soldiers who died in the battle, how could he survive?
Coming back this time, it's one thing to admit guilt and accept punishment.
The most important thing was to think about how to get Emperor Qianxi to agree to his expedition to Pingyang again... Unexpectedly, this time, Emperor Qianxi would send him more troops before he even asked.
In this way, he no longer has any worries.
All in all, as long as Emperor Qianxi nodded and agreed to let him continue to send troops to Pingyang, he would agree to any request Emperor Qianxi made. Unexpectedly, Emperor Qianxi not only made no other requests for him, but also took the initiative to increase his troops. .
Emperor Qianxi stared at him with a cold look in his eyes and said, "I already know what happened to you in Pingyang. Pingyang's strength is intertwined. The defenders from all over the country watched each other and no one was willing to send troops to support. This led to the defeat of your army. You have led the army for several years. , knowing the situation in the army, sometimes your words are more effective than my imperial edict, especially in border areas like Pingyang. There are rumors that the soldiers only know the general, but not me, the emperor, so my edict will naturally be followed by them. Dare to turn a blind eye and ignore it..."
"To tell you the truth, I sent you there because I hope you can repel the reckless army and take root in Pingyang."
"Do you know why I did that?" Emperor Qianxi suddenly issued a soul torture, and the melancholy Ling Yun was immediately stunned.
"Your Majesty, I don't know." Ling Yun shook his head and replied.
After a pause, he added generously and passionately, "I only know one thing. Wherever your Majesty wants me to go, I will go there. Just as your Majesty's sword points, I will go where my heart goes. Even if the journey ahead is bumpy and thorny, I will go there." Cheng Lin, life or death is uncertain, I have no hesitation in my duty..."

This is Lingyun. Even if he doesn't know Emperor Qianxi's inner thoughts at this moment, he will not delay him from expressing his loyalty to Emperor Qianxi. Emperor Qianxi just likes this kind of thing, so he was greatly shocked when he heard this.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Qianxi's voice immediately came to his ears, saying loudly, "What a word, no hesitation."
"Ling Yun, I really did not misjudge you!"
Ling Yun could not only speak, but also do. As long as Emperor Qianxi's order came, he would not even frown no matter where he went.
This is also the reason why Emperor Qianxi favored him.
Ling Yun also knew this, so he was confident.
Emperor Qianxi's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said in a cold voice, "To tell you the truth, some generals in Pingyang listen to orders but not announcements. Moreover, when orders arrive, they have no military pay. They either complain of illness or are too busy with military affairs. All these things, I I have long been dissatisfied with them, and they are always thinking about taking back their military power. However, their strength is complicated, and they are even involved in the court. In addition, the reckless army provokes from time to time, and wars often occur there. I am worried that my whole body will be affected. That’s why I didn’t give the order for a long time.”
Then he said frankly, "The reason why I asked you to go is because I want you to get inside, control the situation in Pingyang, and gradually erode Pingyang's power... It's a pity that God doesn't fulfill your wishes."
Ling Yun's eyes widened, and he was surprised. He didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns in it. At this moment, he suddenly realized that no wonder Emperor Qianxi would defy all opinions and agree to his expedition to Pingyang.
Moreover, Li Chengyou was appointed governor of Pingyang, perhaps not only because of him, but also because of Emperor Qianxi's arrangement, in order to have trusted people in Pingyang so that he could keep an eye on the generals in Pingyang.

"Your Majesty, it's all my fault. I failed to live up to your majesty's high hopes..." Ling Yun lowered his head and placed the blame on himself.
Emperor Qianxi shook his head when he heard this, and sighed softly, "I can't blame you, it's my fault. I was too impatient and forgot that it's hard to sing alone. This put you in trouble and almost killed you."
In fact, this is no wonder Emperor Qianxi. Going to Pingyang is Ling Yun's wish. Even if Emperor Qianxi doesn't let him go, he will still ask.
No one would have imagined that something like this would happen now.
All I can say is that coming back alive is the greatest luck.
"You go down and rest first. When your body recovers, I will arrange everything." The two chatted for a long time, until Emperor Qianxi felt tired and asked Ling Yun to retreat. He did not forget to ask him to rest well and cultivate himself. It's better to make arrangements later.
In this regard, Ling Yun didn't say anything.
However, he also had to prepare.
As soon as the news of Ling Yun's return to the capital came out, many people were naturally watching, especially He Yushan, Gao Anxiang and others. Therefore, when Ling Yun's carriage was taken away by people sent by Emperor Qianxi as soon as it entered the city gate, It immediately attracted the attention of all parties.
"Hurry back, companions, Ling Yun is out."

"There is nothing wrong with him. How is this possible?"
Ling Yun left the palace, and there were already people sent by various forces waiting here. When they saw Ling Yun coming out, they immediately sent the news back, which shows how much they pay attention to Ling Yun.
They originally thought that Ling Yun would be punished and condemned by Emperor Qianxi after losing the battle. After all, Ling Yun had just arrived in the imperial city and was taken into the palace before he even had time to return to his residence, making them mistakenly think that Emperor Qianxi wanted to hold him accountable. , and now they suddenly discovered that he had left the palace intact, which probably made many people resentful.
