Hearing this, Ling Yun didn't look disappointed, and his eyes showed unusual hope, as if he saw hope in Emperor Qianxi's words.
With his understanding of Emperor Qianxi, Ling Yun knew that Emperor Qianxi was a master who did not want to suffer losses. Even if he believed in him and reused him, interests still came first. Therefore, if he wanted Emperor Qianxi to agree to his proposal to build an army, it was necessary Pay the appropriate price.
However, Ling Yun had been prepared before coming, thinking that no matter what excessive demands Emperor Qianxi made, as long as he could build an army, he would grit his teeth and agree to it. But now Emperor Qianxi agreed so quickly that he could not adapt, and at the same time exposed his A hint of surprise.

If Emperor Qianxi was hesitant or hesitated again and again, Ling Yun would feel a little more at ease, because he firmly believed that as long as he showed more benefits, Emperor Qianxi would definitely be moved. But now that Emperor Qianxi agreed so quickly, Ling Yun's My heart couldn't stop beating. I couldn't figure out what Emperor Qianxi was thinking. At the same time, I couldn't guess what Emperor Qianxi was thinking at the moment.
All in all, when he raised his eyes slightly and met Emperor Qianxi's half-smiling expression, Ling Yun had an unknown premonition in his heart.
Even if Emperor Qianxi went too far, what could Ling Yun do?
In the end, in order to win the support of Emperor Qianxi and prepare the 50,000 troops needed to go north, Ling Yun had to go in with a smile even though he knew Emperor Qianxi had set him up.
After thinking for a moment, Ling Yun replied respectfully, "If your majesty agrees to prepare an army of fifty thousand, let alone a condition, even if it is ten or a hundred, I will not even frown."
As soon as the words fell, before Emperor Qianxi could react, Ling Yun then added seriously, "What's more, your Majesty is the king and Ling Yun is his minister. As a minister, he should obey His Majesty. Therefore, even if Your Majesty does not agree to the suggestion of the minister, the minister will not accept it." I must obey His Majesty’s will. No matter what Your Majesty asks me to do, I will not dare to disobey you!”
Ling Yun's move can be described as taking advantage of every opportunity. As long as there is a suitable opportunity, he will take the trouble to show his loyalty.
"Hahaha, okay, okay, I have this one minister who is better than thousands of armies." If it were another person, Emperor Qianxi might not be so happy, because he had heard such words of loyalty no less than ten thousand times, and his ears He is tired of hearing it, so he has long been immune to it, but every time he hears Ling Yun say it, it makes him feel extremely relieved.
Perhaps, this is what makes Lingyun different.
Because even if the same words were spoken by other ministers, they might be deceived, but when spoken by Ling Yun, there was no deception. Therefore, these loyal words made Emperor Qianxi happy. laughing out loud.

Emperor Qianxi stared at him and said meaningfully, "I have only one condition, and it is very simple. As long as you agree, no matter what you want to do, I will support you unconditionally!"
Hearing this, Ling Yun's heart was already very excited, and his heart was beating with excitement. If it weren't for his vigilance, he would have been filled with joy. However, he knew that now was not the time, so the joy in his heart could not be revealed, at least not until now. Before Emperor Qianxi's tone of voice was confirmed, he could not show it too obviously.
"I wonder what your Majesty's conditions are?" Ling Yun's eyes flashed with expectation, and with a hint of confusion, he raised his head and asked,
"Marry Yucheng." Emperor Qianxi said every word.
After hearing this, Ling Yun was stunned.
A look of astonishment, eyes of disbelief.
When Emperor Qianxi made the request, Ling Yun had made countless conjectures and assumptions, so he was fully prepared. No matter what request Emperor Qianxi made, he would not be too surprised.
The reality was completely opposite. Emperor Qianxi's request caused Ling Yun to be stunned on the spot, and he didn't even recover for a long time.
Emperor Qianxi's eyes were glaring, and he ignored his shock and continued to persuade, "As long as you marry Yucheng and become my consort, I can agree to your request to prepare 50,000 troops."
"I only have this condition, nothing else."

Having said that, Emperor Qianxi did not forget to make a final addition, in order to prevent Ling Yun from making a rebuttal or requesting for other conditions to be changed.
For a long time, Ling Yun opened his mouth forcefully, as if he wanted to say something, but until he closed his lips, nothing came out.
Emperor Qianxi did not rush to urge him, but carefully observed and measured Ling Yun's reaction. As he had guessed, Ling Yun's reaction was almost exactly the same as before, with an expression of shock and disbelief on his face first, then rejection and fright... This Emperor Qianxi couldn't help but be puzzled by his unique reaction. He didn't understand why Ling Yun was so repulsive. Could it be that becoming Da Gan's consort was a terrible thing in his heart?
It is true that before Ling Yun, whoever was appointed to be the consort would be ecstatic and would kneel down and shed tears of gratitude to him?
I wish I could break the floor to show my inner joy and loyalty to him.
But what about Ling Lingyun?
The most real expression on his face was not only no surprise, but a look of horror.
Emperor Qianxi thought for a moment and continued, "If you think Yucheng is old, what do you think about my youngest daughter, Princess Nangong, who is only thirteen years old?"
After saying that, he looked at Ling Yun again, showing extraordinary patience.
Ling Yun is twenty-one and Princess Yucheng is seventeen. No matter how you say it, Princess Yucheng cannot be considered older when paired with Ling Yun.
The original text comes from Yuta&Read Novel~&
While Princess Nangong is only thirteen, Ling Yun is almost a full round older!
Emperor Qianxi would do anything to make him his consort!
Hearing this, Ling Yun couldn't help but curse in his heart: In this damn feudal society, people have to get married at the age of thirteen, before people are fully developed. How cruel is this?
Emperor Qianxi didn't know his inner thoughts, and thought that Ling Yun simply didn't like Yucheng, so he showed resistance, and was unwilling to reveal his inner feelings, so he moved his youngest daughter, Princess Nangong, out.
But how did he know that Ling Yun didn't want to have any relationship with the royal family? Everyone would have the same expression.
As for Zhao Ningxue, he couldn't say he hated him, but he couldn't say he liked him either.
If we had to explain it carefully, he only owed Zhao Ningxue. After all, Zhao Ningxue's reputation was ruined all because of him.
As for Princess Nangong, he has never heard of it. Does He Tan like it?
What's more, with this age gap, even if he likes it, he can't do it!
He doesn't have any special hobbies.

Finally, Ling Yun took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"Your Majesty, I have gotten married."
Saying this actually means rejecting Emperor Qianxi's marriage grant.
To put it into detail, from the beginning to now, Ling Yun has rejected Emperor Qianxi's three marriage offers.
Three refusals of marriage are unique in Daqian.
No, not to mention the three rejections, just refusing the marriage is already a unique thing.
Maybe, but at the moment of rejection, there was no corpse left. Only Ling Yun, time and time again, Emperor Qianxi still did not kill him, how favored he was.
"Ha..." Emperor Qianxi chuckled.
Staring at him with piercing eyes, he said, "Do you know what crime you have committed?"
"Your Majesty, I deserve death for my crime." Ling Yun knelt down and took the initiative to admit his guilt.

"Haha!" Emperor Qianxi sneered and walked down from the dragon chair. His eyes never left Ling Yun. His eyes were very light, but they seemed indifferent, but with a biting ice-like indifference, which made Ling Yun feel like walking on thin ice. , trembling with fear, not daring to resist at all, so he could only stick Lian on the ground and pray that Emperor Qianxi would not become angry out of humiliation.
"Do you know what the consequences of rejection will be?" Emperor Qianxi's cold voice sounded softly in his ears. The sound was very soft, but when it fell in his ears, it was like thunder from the sky, booming and raging, filling his eardrums. Li...Ling Yun's heart suddenly trembled, and he instantly understood that Emperor Qianxi's words were full of threats, which was equivalent to telling him that if he refused to become the consort, he would not get support and would not be able to go north.
Sure enough, in just a moment, Emperor Qianxi squeezed out a cold sentence from between his teeth and said, "You have refused my marriage again and again. Do you think my princess is not worthy of you, or do you want to marry her as soon as possible?" Let me sever the relationship... With your behavior like this, how can I rest assured that you are preparing to build up troops, and how can I support you in heading north again?"
"Do you know that there are several people in the dynasty who command more than 50,000 troops, and why do you want me to trust you?"
"Is it just for the humble silver you donated?"
"Haha... Under the thin sky, could it be the king's land? I have told you today that if I want money, there are a hundred ways to get it. But without my support, how can you prepare an army?"
"Your Majesty..." Ling Yun shouted softly.
"Shut up, I didn't let you speak." Emperor Qianxi interrupted him ruthlessly.
"I will give you seven days to go back and think it over carefully. If you insist on this, pack your bags and go to Annan."
"Back off!" Emperor Qianxi said, turned his back, and then waved his hand to signal Ling Yun to leave.

"Wei Chen obeys!" Ling Yun did not dare to speak anymore and could only endure the discomfort in his heart and leave.
Unexpectedly, when walking to the Noon Gate, I met Zhao Ningxue.
"Oh, Ling Yun, why are you here?" Before Ling Yun could salute him, Zhao Ningxue rushed to him and said in surprise.
The breeze blew, and Zhao Ningxue's overflowing smile looked particularly charming at this moment. When Zhao Ningxue came closer, Ling Yun could smell a woman's unique body fragrance floating in the air just by taking a breath. She didn't need to think deeply, just by looking at it Intuitively, Ling Yun knew that this fragrance was brought by the woman in front of him.
"Ahem... Ling Yun, I have met Princess Yucheng." After shaking his head, Ling Yun coughed twice, and then bowed to her.
When Zhao Ningxue saw this, her body stagnated slightly. In the blink of an eye, Ling Yun coughed. She was stunned for a while, feeling a little at a loss. Only at the last moment did she realize that he was reminding her to pay attention to etiquette.
When you are in the palace, you must pay attention to etiquette.
Zhao Ningxue suddenly woke up and noticed that she was in the palace.
So he stopped, bowed and nodded.
Ling Yun turned sideways slightly and left.

On the way back, Ling Yun felt very depressed. No matter what he thought, he couldn't understand why Emperor Qianxi suddenly brought up old matters again and once again put Zhao Ningxue's marriage in front of him for him to choose. This made him have a headache.
