Chapter 425 I Want to Complain
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the eunuch outside shouting, "My Lord, you can't force your way in!"
Wei Ling's voice also came from outside, "Your Majesty, I have been summoned by Your Majesty and have been waiting in Zhanghua Palace for a long time. I now have military information to report. Your Majesty, please summon me immediately!"
Emperor Longchang was suddenly overwhelmed.
He summoned Wei Ling into the palace today, and also asked Princess Anle to enter the palace, so that Princess Anle and Wei Ling could be alone together.
If Wei Ling and Princess Anle really fell in love, he could adopt his previous suggestion. If Wei Ling was really willing to be his nephew-in-law, then they would be a family. Then the northern land and military power in Wei Ling's hands would be in his pocket. When the situation calmed down, he would make Princess Anle a princess, and Wei Ling would become her son-in-law. At that time, even if he recalled Wei Ling to the capital and took the opportunity to take back the military power, no one would be able to say anything.
But now Wei Ling said he had military intelligence to report, and it would be inappropriate for him to continue delaying.
"Let Wei Ling in!" said Emperor Longchang.
It would be best if this guy really has military intelligence to report! Otherwise, he's deceiving the emperor!
Emperor Longchang frowned.
The door opened and Wei Ling appeared outside. He had actually arrived outside the study!
This guy is becoming more and more lawless!
Emperor Longchang was angry in his heart, but he did not show it on the surface.
Wei Ling is a capable fighter! He still has a large force at his disposal, and there are currently 5,000 Black Tiger Guards stationed outside the capital. It is clearly not the right time to break off relations with Wei Ling.
The Prince of Chenliu has sent someone to tell us that he is willing to come and celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday.
Just wait until he deals with Prince Chenliu, and then he will deal with people like Wei Ling and Xue Ziyi one by one!
He glanced outside the door again and saw Princess Anle standing in the yard with a furious look on her face. It was obvious that his plan had failed.
Wei Ling and Princess Anle don't like each other!
Then the previous intelligence report that there was a rift between Wei Ling and his wife might not be true!
Or maybe Wei Ling looked down on both Su Jixiang and Princess Anle!
Is it really necessary to give up your own daughters? But among your daughters of marriageable age, those who are engaged have already been arranged to marry, and the rest are still too young!
In just the few steps that Wei Ling took to the upper study, Emperor Longchang's mind had already turned several times!
Princess Anle could not be summoned and could only watch Wei Ling enter the upper study, stamping her feet in anger.
The door of the upper study closed, and Wei Ling knelt down and saluted, "Your Majesty!"
"No thanks." The corner of Emperor Longchang's mouth curled up, forcing a smile. "My dear minister, you just said you had military intelligence to report. What is it?"
"Oh, Your Majesty, I'm here to request Your Majesty to allocate the Black Tiger Army's military pay in advance." Wei Ling said calmly.
When Emperor Longchang heard this, he almost got angry!
He had originally thought that some unusual activity had taken place among the foreigners in the north, and that Wei Ling had gotten the news in advance! He had no idea this fellow was so shameless as to ask for money straight away!
"Why do they have to allocate funds in advance?" Emperor Longchang suppressed his anger and asked, "Don't the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue always allocate funds on time?"
"It's the Empress Dowager's birthday, and the entire Black Tiger Army congratulates her on her longevity. We've already prepared birthday gifts for her. This is a major event that everyone should celebrate. Since it's such an auspicious day, we should allocate military pay early so that all the Black Tiger soldiers can feel the emperor's great grace!" Wei Ling said calmly, "I believe that if Your Majesty can make this happen, all the Black Tiger soldiers will be even more grateful for the emperor's grace and even more loyal to Your Majesty!"
Emperor Longchang almost wanted to recognize the pen in his hand!
What nonsense! If he didn't respond, it wouldn't be the emperor's grace!
Okay, okay, I’ve learned to ask him for money!
He doesn't act like an emperor. It's as if he owes these guys money. One by one, they come to him for money!
"Let's discuss this later!" Emperor Longchang certainly couldn't agree to this. The Queen Mother had spent a lot of money on this birthday banquet. His original intention was to use this birthday celebration to bring Prince Chenliu to the capital. Even if he couldn't kill him, he had to keep him. He wanted to use this opportunity to divide the forces in Jiangnan and eliminate the Prince Chenliu, who was a big threat to him!
How could he have the extra money to pay the soldiers in advance!
He would be very lucky if the military pay and rations could be paid in full and on time this winter.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wei Ling responded.
Emperor Longchang breathed a sigh of relief for no apparent reason. It was good that Wei Ling didn't bother him about this matter! He was really afraid that Wei Ling would insist on getting his way with him on this matter. If the other garrisons followed suit, he wouldn't be able to favor one over the other. Then life would be a blast!
He raised his eyes to look at Wei Ling, and the king and his subject seemed to be staring at each other.
"Do you have anything else to say?" asked Emperor Longchang.
"Your Majesty, it was you who summoned me into the palace." Wei Ling bowed and said.
Emperor Longchang...
His brain was so confused by Wei Ling's nonsense that he actually forgot what excuse he had given before! This made Emperor Longchang even more embarrassed!
"I brought some cakes and pastries to your majesty from outside. I've placed them in Zhanghua Palace!" Wei Ling said, "Your majesty, please send someone to get them."
"Oh, my dear minister, you are so thoughtful!" Emperor Longchang nodded quickly. He looked at Li Dequan and said, "Go and get the things that the Marquis of Zhenbei brought me!"
Li Dequan quickly responded.
"I am very pleased that you, my dear minister, thought of bringing me something when you came to the palace." Emperor Longchang said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, please forgive my sins." Wei Ling lifted his clothes and knelt down again.
"What crime have you committed, my dear minister?" Emperor Longchang asked curiously.
He asked this question, but secretly he was happy. Wei Ling also had something to ask of him! It was a bit strange!
"I want to sue Her Royal Highness the Princess for not disciplining her daughter properly, and I also want to sue Princess Anle for disrespecting Your Majesty and trespassing into the Zhanghua Palace without permission. I also want to sue Princess Anle for cursing me at will. I believe I have followed the rules and have never overstepped my bounds. I also strictly abide by etiquette and dare not have anything to do with the women in the inner court. But Princess Anle came up and asked me to kneel down in front of her! I am a first-rank marquis personally appointed by Your Majesty, and the princess is only a third-rank according to the regulations. May I ask Your Majesty, do I, a first-rank marquis, have to kneel down to a third-rank princess? If so, I will go out and kneel down to apologize to Princess Anle. I have no face to stay in the capital anymore and will return to the north immediately. A rough man like me is only fit to stay in the north!" Wei Ling said.
Emperor Longchang’s head suddenly grew bigger!
He always knew that his niece was a bit willful, but he never thought she would be so willful!
It is true that the Marquis of Zhenbei was personally appointed as a first-rank military marquis. Not to mention his rank, just look at the military power in his hands. Even when he saw Wei Ling, he had to smile and tell him not to be polite. This Princess Anle really has no idea how deep the water is!
idiot!
