"My minister, Li Ling, the Ministry of Revenue, is in charge of politics..." While kneeling down, Li Ling shouted loudly about his official position and his life. He felt even more nervous. He could not understand why the current Emperor of Dayue suddenly summoned him to such a place.

Yes, although he has a low position and is just a small seventh-rank official, he is still a new class of Tanhua. He was only in the Golden Palace a few months ago. He had close contact with the emperor during the Qionglin Banquet and imprinted his appearance in his heart. At this moment, he naturally recognized this graceful man like a hermit in the forest, and was today's descendant Yong.

Even when he entered this garden, he had already guessed the other party's identity - even Prince Guiru could not easily do it. The so-called slave of the Sun family was the royal family's surname was Sun - but when the facts appeared, it still caused a great impact on him, and his heart was filled with doubts.

The emperor's eyes were just casually sweeping Li Ling, and then he waved his hand with a smile: "This is not a forbidden place. Li Ling, you don't have to be too polite. Let's go to the pavilion to talk. Yunshu, bring him a chair."

The man who brought Li Ling in immediately agreed and turned to the bamboo hall beside him. After a while, he brought a bamboo chair with exquisite workmanship to the pavilion. Li Ling had already gotten up and entered the pavilion, only a few feet away from the emperor, but he was extremely nervous and did not dare to think of the other person.

The status of the two sides is too different, and there is a distinction between the monarch and the subject. In addition, this fact happened too suddenly. Even if Li Ling was a time traveler, he could not really calm down at this time. However, the emperor still looked calm and gentle, and his eyes were more concentrated on the fishing rod in front of him. When he saw the chair coming, he said, "Sit down and reply."

Li Ling originally wanted to give in, but after feeling the other party's aura, he still thanked him obediently. Then he sat on the chair, but his back was straight, and he was careful to wait for the emperor to speak.

"Can you fish?" Surprisingly, the emperor asked such a question when he spoke.

This made Li Ling stunned for a moment, and then he honestly replied: "I have never tried fishing before..."

"Yes, you have been busy with imperial examinations and business before, so you naturally have no time to fish and entertain yourself. But if you have time in the future, you can try it. This fishing is a good way to nourish your energy. When you fish, you are focused, but you control everything, just like being an official."

"Yes, I have recorded it." Li Ling nodded thoughtfully, and before he could feel relaxed. However, he saw the emperor's fishing rod suddenly sinking, and then he smiled, put down the book in his left hand, and held the long pole at the same time with both hands. As the fish biting the hook under the water kept putting the line and pulling the rod, in a few seconds, he caught a three-foot-long fish out of the water, which made the emperor smile: "Yes, you have a fish hooked as soon as you come, it really looks like my lucky star."

"Your Majesty is so serious that I dare not take credit for you."

"Haha, do you know why your Tanhua came from?" The emperor skillfully took the fish off the hook and put it in the wooden basin beside him, and then hung a little bait on the hook. Suddenly, he asked this question.

Li Ling hurriedly stood up and bowed: "Of course I am grateful to you by Your Majesty, so I can get this position of Tanhua by chance..."

The emperor pressed his hand down and signaled him to sit down again, then continued: "What you said is right or wrong. You are indeed the Tanhua I chose, but it is not the general choice, but the Super League. You are not afraid to tell you the truth. Even your final score in the exam was because I came forward to win!"

Li Ling was stunned again, and then he thought of the ranking on the exam list that day, the extremely special No. 151! This ranking made many people question it at that time. In fact, Li Ling himself couldn't help but feel strange afterwards, because this was really out of line.

It was obvious that there were only 150 tribute scholars in the past, but this year it suddenly became 151 people, and he was the most bizarre crane. But at that time he felt that he had a chance to make a fortune and thought that this was a great benefit to him, so he did not think deeply.

Now, as the emperor said this, Li Ling understood the truth and said a little surprised: "So, is it the exam list that Your Majesty specially promoted?"

"Yes, this is not only a support for a young pillar like you, but also because I need a young man like you to enter the court and share my worries. You do have your own talents. At least the strategy for the palace examination is indeed exquisite enough, and even if I read it, I was deeply inspired."

"Your Majesty is wronged, I really feel ashamed."

"You don't have to be too humble. What I said is the truth. If you are indeed a little bit awkward, I will not put you to the high position of Tanhua. In fact, this is already obvious in the things you do in the Ministry of Revenue. Perhaps you are a little lacking in articles of sages, but you are much more than your peers in terms of economics.

"For example, the plan you set up to deal with Dai Xiao is enough to show your skills. Even if the elderly official comes, he will do this."

Although the pavilion was hit by a wind in the hall, there was no heat wave of the outside world at all, at this moment, Li Ling still felt a heat that was hard to bear. His back was instantly wet with cold sweat, and sweat beads on his forehead were also flowing out: "Your Majesty...I..."

"What, do you want to admit it?"

Facing the emperor's scrutiny gaze, Li Ling swallowed with difficulty, then shook his head: "I dare not, I know the crime... At that time, I did have no choice but to make such a bad decision. If Your Majesty wants to blame me, I dare not have any complaints." As he said that, he was about to kneel down again.

But the emperor waved his hand to stop him: "You don't have to kneel down. I can see that you actually don't think you did something wrong. Similarly, I don't think you did something wrong in this matter. Dai Xiao used his power to seek personal gain and fed his personal pockets. You just used some means to make him appear. You can only say that you have made a contribution and no demerit for me."

"I am afraid of being accused of merit." Li Ling said hurriedly, and at the same time, he had already reacted and felt even more nervous. It seemed that all his actions in the Ministry of Revenue were seen by the emperor. Is this a special arrangement to focus on his own? But why, as a small politician, is it worth the emperor's thoughts?

Such intentions are really flattering, like a ray of light on your back...

The emperor obviously saw the confusion in his heart, so he smiled and said, "Since I want to use you, I naturally need to know more about your daily actions. You are very good. This time, in the Ministry of Revenue, neither my ability nor my character has disappointed me too much..."

It was obvious that the emperor's words were sincere, and Li Ling finally felt a little relieved. But before he could put his heart back to his original position, he heard the emperor say, "But you did something wrong this time. I'm here to ask you, why did you enter the imperial examination?"

"Of course, it is to fulfill your loyalty to Your Majesty and the court and to show your ambitions." Li Ling gave a fair answer.

The emperor smiled: "Then do you think I am taking you as a Tanhua out of no way? Is it that I can collude with some people and do that kind of personal gain?"

Li Ling's mind quickly turned, and he immediately understood why he was summoned by the emperor today. Yes, in fact, this time point has already explained everything - he just went to the Yongwang Mansion for a banquet yesterday, and was called by the emperor at noon today. He could not believe it if there was no necessary connection between the two.

Suddenly, Li Ling shivered and immediately knelt down again: "I know my crime. I should not be accepted by others and participate in the disputes between the princes. I am only your Majesty's minister, not anyone else's minister."

Sun Yong's eyes became more and more gloomy, and he looked at Li Ling firmly: "Since you had known the truth, why didn't you refuse their invitation yesterday?"

"I... I am low-ranking and I really don't dare to offend such nobles as my boss and Your Highness Yong." Li Ling gritted his teeth and said directly, "I have been unable to protect myself for a while and have been at a loss, so I am confused for a moment and do something that disappoints His Majesty."

"Oh? But what difficulties did you encounter?"

"I dare not hide it from Your Majesty. This time, not only did Your Highness Yong intentionally use the empress, but also the crown prince, but some people also wanted to ask the empress to help them do something irresponsible. This is all about the war in the northern border, and I feel embarrassed. However, even if I am willing to look up to the Ming Dynasty, I don't know who should tell me.

"Now, thanks to Your Majesty's inquiry, I can only tell you the truth..." As he said that, Li Ling told him that the two princes he had recently met each asked him to do something in the upcoming food and grass logistics of the Northern Xinjiang military.

These two things were not known to the emperor before. At this moment, he was as skilled as he was as good as him in Qi cultivation, and he didn't feel the color changed. He said in a lust: "Okay! They are my two good sons. They are getting more and more courageous. They have set their minds on such a military and national affairs!" Then, he looked at Li Ling again, "So what are you planning to do next?"

"I dare not hide it from Your Majesty. No one dares to commit crimes from the two princes. But I am more aware that the war in the northern border is related to the safety of our Great Vietnam border and the life and death of countless people and soldiers. Therefore, I have no choice but to do the account so that the border troops will not make any mistakes due to logistics supply. As for whether His Highness Yong will blame him in this way, I dare not think about it.

"In addition, I don't plan to respond to the prince. After all, the matter is done by me, and there is no problem, so I let them down."

The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at him: "In this way, you offended both princes!"
