"This is a good thing, but if Li Chengyou returns to Beijing, should he take any position?" Li Rang's suggestion was indeed a good idea, but Emperor Qianxi was not happy for long, and he encountered new problems.
"Has Your Majesty forgotten that there happens to be a vacancy in the Ministry of Punishment?"
Why is it so difficult to get Li Rang to do this? When he proposed this idea, he thought of corresponding countermeasures.
"Are you talking about the position of Minister of Justice?" After Li Rang reminded him, Emperor Qianxi really thought about it.
After Duan Anyan's accident, he was removed from his position as Minister of Justice, and he has not found anyone to replace him to this day.
In this way, this vacancy is left for Li Chengyou.
Duan Anyan originally wanted to get Ling Yun, but in the end not only did he get himself out of Kejing City, but the vacant position was also taken advantage of by Li Chengyou. If he knew about this, I wonder if he would regret it enough to slap himself in the face.
"So good."
"Xiao Lizi, go and issue a decree to recall Li Chengyou back to the capital." With the solution, Emperor Qianxi smiled again and asked Li Rang to draft an order to recall Li Chengyou to the capital.
"My slave obeys the order!" Li Rang retreated to make arrangements.
"Dannian, come with me." Li Rang left the palace, called Xu Danian and went to draft the edict.
When the edict was being drafted, Xu Danian was by his side.
Looking at the contents of the imperial edict, Xu Danian was overjoyed and looked at Li Rang excitedly, "Godfather, is your Majesty going to transfer Mr. Li back to the capital?"
"Shut up!" Li Rang took the gun and tapped Xu Danian lightly on the head.
At the same time, he did not forget to preach, "Remember, when drafting the edict, no matter what you see, you are not allowed to say anything..."
"Godfather, calm down, my son has realized his mistake." Xu Danian immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake, but his voice still couldn't contain his surprise.
"Your Majesty, the decree has been prepared." When the decree was ready, Li Rang showed it to Emperor Qianxi.
Emperor Qianxi had no problem, so he took the imperial seal and sent it away after covering it.
The news that Li Chengyou was about to return to Beijing reached Ling Yun that day. Ling Yun was shocked and speechless when he received the news.
Because of this matter, he found Xu Danian some time ago to help with the operation, which only took about ten days.
It was actually done in such a short time. Ling Yun was so surprised that he didn't know what to say.
All I can say is that Xu Danian acted too safely.
In fact, this matter was all Li Rang's fault, but without Xu Danian in the middle, Li Rang would not have stepped forward to help him.
So after all is said and done, Xu Danian still deserves the credit.
"Brother Ling, Brother Ling..." Li Shuyu's voice came from outside the door. Ling Yun came to his senses and immediately put away the secret message.
"Shu Yu, why are you here?"
Ling Yun opened the door to let Li Shuyu in, but unexpectedly found that Zixuan was also there.
"Brother, I want to go back to Pingyang tomorrow." After Li Shuyu sat down, he hesitated for a long time before saying reluctantly.
It turned out that Li Shuyu came to him because he wanted to tell him about leaving Beijing.
Li Shuyu wanted to return to Pingyang more than ten days ago.
It was precisely because of Li Shuyu's mention that Ling Yun thought of asking Xu Danian to help with operations to see if Li Chengyou could be transferred back.
Unexpectedly, the thing was done.
Before he could say anything about it, Li Shuyu came to the door.
I have to say, Li Shuyu’s nose is really sensitive!
"Brother, are you listening?" Seeing Ling Yun's delay in responding, Li Shuyu thought that he was reluctant to leave her, but she had been away from her parents for so long, and she missed her very much.
No matter how much I feel reluctant to leave, I have to leave.
"Silly girl, how long have you been back? Why are you thinking of leaving now?" Ling Yun looked at her and smiled fondly.
When Li Shuyu heard this, tears welled up in his eyes, and he said with tears in his eyes, "But brother, Shuyu has been away from his parents for a long time."
"Yeah~ that's the thing."
Ling Yun lowered his head and pretended to think.
"Brother, do you agree?"
Li Shuyu came closer, stared at Ling Yun and asked.
Ling Yun didn't answer, just looked at her and shook his head.
"Ah?" Li Shuyu was stunned, a little confused.
He had no choice but to look at Zixuan, "Sister Xuan..."
No wonder Li Shuyu wanted to rope in Zixuan. The original purpose was to let Zixuan persuade Ling Yun.
Ling Yun smiled and said, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore."
"You don't need to go back to Pingyang. Master and Master will return to Beijing in a while. You just need to wait here."
"What?"
Li Shuyu opened his mouth and let out a scream.
"Brother, what's going on?" Li Shuyu was not very happy when she heard the news, because she didn't think what Ling Yun said was true. Instead, she felt that Ling Yun was lying to her.
If her parents were about to return to Beijing, she should have received news from her mother, but until now there was nothing.
"Brother didn't lie to you." Ling Yun affirmed.
"This is the news I just got. It will take some time to wait for the details, but it won't be too long, so just wait with peace of mind!"
When Li Shuyu saw this, he didn't know whether to believe it or not, so he could only look at Zixuan next to him as if asking for help.
"Don't worry, my brother never lied to you." Zixuan held her hand and comforted her softly.
With Zixuan's words, Li Shuyu seemed to have taken a tranquilizer and no longer worried that Ling Yun would lie to her. In the blink of an eye, she jumped up happily.
"Oh, great, no need to leave the capital!"
"Silly girl!" Ling Yun looked at this scene, shook his head fondly, and then sighed softly, he also missed home.
…
"By God's blessing, the emperor decreed that Li Chengyou, the governor of Pingyang Province... has been promoted to the left minister of the Ministry of punishment and the prince's tutor."
Li Chengyou returned to Beijing and took over the position of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Justice, and also held the position of Crown Prince and Tutor.
The acquaintances in the court raised their hands in congratulations one after another, and Li Chengyou also raised their hands in return.
It was already the tenth day of February when Li Chengyou returned to Beijing.
Returning to Li Mansion, Li Chengyou looked at the door he had not seen for a long time and said with emotion, "I'm finally home."
"Dad, please come in quickly, why are you still standing at the door?" Li Shuyu stood at the threshold and sighed when he saw Li Chengyou stopping in front of the door. He couldn't help but wave his hand to urge him.
"Come on, come on." Li Chengyou smiled and walked towards his daughter.
"Dad, my daughter misses you so much!" Li Shuyu took Li Chengyou's arm and acted coquettishly.
"You are so old, but you are still so naughty." Li Chengyou scolded him in a low voice, but he was extremely beautiful in his heart.
"Hmph, I'm just naughty." Li Shuyu pouted, pretending to be angry.
"Okay, come in quickly!" Mrs. Li said dotingly.
"Where is your brother Ling? Why didn't you see him come to see me?"
After returning home and entering the hall and sitting down, Li Chengyou asked about Ling Yun within three sentences.
Logically speaking, Ling Yun, as his disciple, should have seen him immediately, but he has not seen him until now.
"Mom, look at dad. He started talking about Brother Ling as soon as he came back. He doesn't have a daughter like me in his heart." When Li Shuyu heard this, he immediately became unhappy and looked at Mrs. Li acting coquettishly.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li glared at Li Chengyou angrily, then turned back to Li Shuyu, "Daughter, your father may have something important to discuss with your brother Ling."
Mrs. Li was still able to talk. Instead of saying that Li Chengyou missed his apprentice, she said that she would look for his apprentice when something happened.
As soon as these words came out, Li Shuyu instantly lost his temper and put on a happy smile again.
Li Chengyou looked at his daughter, who had acted coquettishly several times since he entered the house, and sighed helplessly. He felt that his daughter was getting more and more naughty as she grew older. She had never been like this before. He wondered if she had been led astray by Ling Yun.
Already?
When I think about it, when I see Ling Yun, I must give that boy a good lesson.
Ling Yun didn't know that since he didn't go to Li Mansion today, he was worried about Li Chengyou and wanted to find an opportunity to teach him a lesson.
If he knew about this, he would probably burst into tears.
Even though he did nothing, he still got beaten.
It wasn't that he didn't want to see Li Chengyou, but that he happened to be delayed by something important today and couldn't leave for a while.
Because the firearms in the firearms camp have made new progress, I spent the whole day in the firearms camp to test the power of the new firearms.
It was precisely because of this that he did not go to greet Li Chengyou.
The craftsmen of the Firearms Battalion not only improved the firearms, but also added the range and power of the cannons. This was a qualitative change in the Firearms Battalion, so much so that Ling Yun had to take it seriously.
After finishing his business, Ling Yun looked up at the black night and could only give up his plan to go to Li's Mansion.
Going at this time is obviously not suitable.
At midnight the next day, Ling Yun took Zixuan to Li Mansion.
As for why he didn't take Zhao Ningxue and Xiaobao with him, it was because he felt that their identities had not been disclosed yet and they needed to be treated with caution.
Ling Yun arrived at Li's Mansion and found that Li Chengyou had no free money.
Today is his first time working in the Ministry of Punishment, and it may take some time to come back.
Li Chengyou is not here, only Mrs. Li and Li Shuyu are here.
Mrs. Li was happy and excited when she saw them. She took him and chatted with him for a long time, just like she treated her biological son.
After chatting with Ling Yun here, he took Zixuan to chat again.
All the women talked about was boudoir talk, and it was certainly inappropriate for Ling Yun to sit together, so he could only find a reason to leave.
After leaving the hall, I had nothing to do and could only sit in a daze.
Ling Yun stayed here for a whole day, and in the evening, Li Chengyou came back, and the two of them even had a meal together.
Li Chengyou didn't say anything during the dinner, but he just told him to be careful when serving as an official in Beijing and not to go against others everywhere... Anyway, they were some warnings. Maybe he was worried that Ling Yun was more trouble-prone and worried that he would have an accident, so he
I will warn you again and again.
Ling Yun knew that he was doing this for his own good, so he didn't mean to refute the whole process. Instead, he listened and nodded.
Li Chengyou was very happy when he saw this situation, and naturally he forgot about the idea of teaching Ling Yun a lesson.
"By the way, His Majesty summoned me alone today and asked you to take care of the Crown Prince as much as possible, especially in military matters..." Li Chengyou changed the topic and suddenly thought of Emperor Qianxi's hint today.
Hearing this, Ling Yun was stunned for a while, and then subconsciously replied, "Then Prince, what does it have to do with me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was glared at by Li Chengyou.
"Why not? Do you want me to sever the master-disciple relationship?" Li Chengyou suddenly said angrily.
"Uh..." Ling Yun looked confused.
I thought everything was fine, why was Li Chengyou angry?
What does the matter between him and Li Chengyou have to do with the prince?
Can they get involved?
Ling Yun tried to break his head but didn't understand the relationship...
