Mingyue looked back with the crescent moon dagger, and saw a man in eunuch clothes walking slowly behind Zhang Ling. Mingyue immediately recognized it as Zhao Weizhong, the chief eunuch. After seeing it, she still ignored the sudden arrival of this man and turned around to ask for it. Let’s deal with Shen Yunfeng first.
The old eunuch seemed to lower his figure slightly and smiled and said: "Miss Mingyue, this is the palace. It is not easy to kill people here without permission. I'd rather leave this matter to our family."
Mingyue stroked her eyebrows and thought for a moment, as long as Zhang Ling was not dead, she was too lazy to care about the rest.
When Zhao Weizhong saw Mingyue giving way, he continued to step forward. When he reached Zhang Ling, he suddenly stopped and said, "His Majesty wants to see you later."
Zhang Ling was a little confused. In this competition, Mo Li and Song Linjie obviously performed better. Why did the emperor only want to see him? This made him wonder if the emperor had noticed something. He had indeed used Qinggong. However, according to Song Yutian's words, even in the world, few people knew the true name of the medical sage, let alone bringing someone who was far away from the world with Chen Guo. The general and his adopted son were brought together.
Zhang Ling wanted to ask the emperor more about why he saw him, so the old eunuch continued walking forward and stopped in front of Shen Yunfeng. When Shen Yunfeng saw the old eunuch calling the woman to stop, Shen Yunfeng thought he could survive for the time being, but unexpectedly Zhao Weizhong flicked his finger. , hit him right between the eyebrows, and before he even had time to cry out any unnecessary moans, he stopped breathing and knelt down without falling.
The three people behind thought that he would take this man back for interrogation before making a decision, but they didn't want the old eunuch who had been the eunuch for decades to be even more ruthless and show no mercy.
Seeing Shen Yunfeng's death, Mingyue didn't even look at it and walked towards Zhang Ling. Zhang Ling called someone over and wanted to ask if it was Zhang Jingqian who asked him to save him.
Only Mingyue stopped and pulled a piece of cloth directly from Zhang Ling's body to wipe the dagger.
Zhang Ling was confused for a moment. He hadn't found anything to clean his sword for a long time. The man came up and pulled his clothes to clean the dagger. The gratitude in his throat was immediately suppressed.
Mingyue also said, "Looking for trouble all day long, don't you think you have a long life? And just now you wanted to leave that kid and run away, abandoning your wife and friends."
Zhang Ling still asked seriously: "Why do you want to throw away your wife? I have never been engaged to anyone, let alone a wife."
Mingyue finished wiping the dagger, threw away the torn piece of cloth, put the dagger back into its sheath, tiptoed, and climbed up the high wall as easily as a dragonfly touching water, disappearing without a trace.
As a result, Zhang Ling didn't even ask a question, and I don't know if he was deliberately avoiding something.
After the old eunuch dealt with Shen Yunfeng, he walked to Zhang Ling again, as if nothing had happened, and said calmly: "Let's go."
The old eunuch led the way, and the two followed behind.
After leaving for about half a quarter of an hour, Zhang Ling felt that the old eunuch was too rigid. He didn't say anything for a long time. He was a little bored and panicked, so he took the initiative to say: "By the way, I still don't know what to call my father-in-law?"
The old eunuch suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart. Looking back on the past, how many people were afraid of him not because of his status as the chief chamberlain, but also because of his status as a eunuch. They looked down on him sincerely because of his status as a eunuch. However, when he first met his majesty, he was still a child. , the same is true, when he asked his name, it was the first time someone took the initiative to ask him his name, and it was also the first time he felt that someone regarded him as a human being. They said that the emperor was ruthless, and the same was true for his son. But he knew the man in his thirties. Over the years, his temperament has never changed. He has the dignity of being an emperor, but he is not so ruthless as to treat everyone in the world as nothing. Gradually, he has recognized that person as his master. If anyone wants to kill him, he will kill the person. If a hundred people want to kill him, he will kill a hundred people. Even if everyone in the world wants to kill him, he will remain loyal to him.
The old eunuch secretly smiled in his heart. If this child disobeys His Majesty, he will help him in the future.
And Zhang Ling would not have thought that one of his careless words would endear him to the old eunuch.
Zhao Weizhong smiled and replied: "We, Zhao Weizhong, all serve His Majesty, and our names are not important."
Zhang Ling immediately understood the implication. The name is not important? But he said it, wouldn't it be contradictory: "The last name is relatives, the first name is Ji, and the full name means life. How can it be unimportant? Eunuch, there is no need to belittle oneself. One person manages the entire palace in an orderly manner, no worse than the literati and soldiers. Eunuch You don’t need to care too much about other people’s opinions.”
Zhao Weizhong didn't change his expression, but he listened carefully in his heart, and even said it to his heart. He once again decided on the child's position. If he didn't obstruct His Majesty's way, it would be a death penalty, but he had to find a way to save him. Life.
"Young Master is right."
But in order to prevent others from seeing his soft-heartedness, he would always say half the words and leave the other half when talking to others. No matter what Zhang Ling said was to his liking, he would never reply.
Seeing that the old eunuch stopped talking to him, Zhang Ling had no choice but to talk to Song Linjie.
The old eunuch stopped in front of a palace that was incompatible with other palaces.
Looking from a distance, there are still hundreds of steps, and the surrounding carved railings and floating sills are more delicate. There are dragons, phoenixes and warriors in the center of the steps. The floating sills on the sides are also carved with flowers and cloud patterns, which shows the extraordinary magnificence.
And because his eyesight was better, Zhang Ling still saw the three characters "Jin'an Palace" written above the main hall from a distance.
The old eunuch turned to Song Linjie and said, "Your Majesty only said he saw Zhang Ling."
Song Linjie said: "I'll wait for him here."
After getting the old eunuch's permission, Zhang Ling followed him into Jin'an Hall.
I saw a man in royal robes sitting on the steps under the throne. This man was obviously Chen Liuren.
Zhang Ling also took a closer look. He was not as majestic as in the book and could not be looked directly at. He was also different from his imagination of a fat man with a lot of fish and meat. After a closer look, he looked a little haggard, which may not be caused by working hard day and night on reviewing papers. Maybe it was a loss due to the harem war.
When he arrived in front of Chen Liuren, Zhang Ling just offered his hand: "Student Zhang Ling, I have met His Majesty."
When the old eunuch saw that the child was not kneeling, he immediately reminded him: "Zhang Ling, you should kneel down when you see His Majesty."
Zhang Ling was disdainful. I am a materialist who neither kneels to heaven nor to kneel to the ground. Why should I kneel to you? Although he thought so, he still said respectfully: "The late emperor once said that the disciples of the academy will not kneel before the emperor. This is a privilege granted by his majesty."
Chen Liuren was not angry at Long Yan, but smiled and said: "The academy is a powerful force in the world, so naturally there is no need to kneel to me, but if I give you an official position, will you be willing?"
Zhang Ling suddenly raised his head, and Bo Ran was overjoyed. He had worked hard for more than ten years before, but he still couldn't do anything well. Today, it was better, he gave it close to his face.
Zhang Ling suppressed his excitement and said, "Your Majesty is willing to give, so I will do my best."
Chen Liuren suddenly turned his back and refused to admit it: "You want it, but I don't want to give it to you yet."
