Swap, the involutionary regent palace fight also forced me to rebel

Feeling that his words were biased and hindering the Regent, Song Cheng quickly slapped his mouth: "Your Highness is right, I was wrong!"

Yun Ting was so angry that his expression was distorted and his voice was suppressed: "Oh, my brother is really so polite."

His cold words successfully brought the atmosphere to a freezing point.

Feeling that continuing to talk would only make the situation worse, Song Cheng moved forward and returned to the team.

In the silence, a high-spirited voice suddenly emerged: "Your Majesty, I am willing to give the position of admiral a try!"

Following the voice, Nan Yingzhi saw a youthful face.

Seeing his dark skin and strong physique, Nan Yingzhi told her courtiers about Ling Feng and slowly matched them up.

This person should be Yang Ling who is in the neutral faction.

Relying on his ancestors' official influence, he became the commander of the imperial guards at a young age and held the third-rank official position.

Logically speaking, admiral is a second-rank official, which is only one step away from his current position. It is appropriate for him to take up the position of admiral.

Originally, Yang Ling had said that to Yun Ting above him. Seeing that Yun Ting didn't respond, he turned his head, faced Nan Yingzhi, and bowed with both hands: "Your Majesty, I would like to recommend myself!"

"I think that you have been in the Imperial Guard for a long time and are familiar with its affairs. It is just right for you to serve as the 'commander-in-chief'." After nodding, Nan Yingzhi was half a beat slower and asked Yun Ting in a pretentious tone, "What does your majesty think?"

Although he was dissatisfied with Yang Ling's poor attitude towards him, Yun Ting thought that if a neutral person took over, at least the position of "commander-in-chief" who controlled the imperial guards in the capital would not be handed over to the Regent Party. After a moment of silence, Yun Ting made the decision: "I have no objection."

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty," Yang Ling turned around and said this to Yun Ting, then turned to Nan Yingzhi, "Thank you also for your approval, Your Majesty!"

"It's just that," Yun Ting originally intended to marry Yun Yan to Yang Ling in order to win him over, and he changed the subject, "Lord Yang, the position of 'commander-in-chief' is closely related to the safety of the capital. Come to the imperial study later. I have something else to tell you."

Yang Ling tilted his head, his eyes revealing innocence: "Your Majesty has something to say about official business, why can't you talk in front of everyone now, but go to the imperial study to talk?"

Yun Ting went to find Yang Ling in the imperial study. What he wanted to talk to him about was not anything related to "Admiral", but how to make him shine in the martial arts competition and capture Yun Yan's heart.

Having just been reprimanded by Shen Xi, and besides not wanting Nan Yingzhi to know that he had rigged the martial arts competition to win a bride, Yun Ting gritted his teeth and secretly cursed Yang Ling for not thinking before speaking.

He had hinted so clearly, and they were just chatting privately, but Yang Ling still wanted to make the conversation public. Isn't this stupid?

"I'm not here for official business, but for some personal matters. I don't want to bother you, my dear ministers." Yun Ting interrupted him forcefully, not wanting him to say any more. "Don't mind yourselves, just come."

After Yun Ting said this, even if Yang Ling was not very tactful, he could tell that Yun Ting didn't want him to ask any more questions.

Although he was puzzled, Yang Ling bowed his head and said, "Yes!"

"Everyone, do you have any objections to Zhao Yi's demotion and Yang Ling's appointment as admiral?" Yun Ting went through the motions as usual and asked the ministers for their opinions.

A neutral person will take over to calm the turbulent court, so that neither the royalists nor the regent party can compete anymore.

They bowed their heads and continued to act deaf and dumb.

Seeing that the matter was settled and the result was appropriate, Yun Ting breathed a sigh of relief as he didn't have to be criticized for shielding Admiral Zhao.

He ordered Gao Shu in public: "Demote Zhao Yi to the rank of fourth-rank official, fine him one year's salary, and confine him to house arrest for nine days. At the same time, appoint Yang Ling as the second-rank commander and take over the imperial guards."

After receiving Yun Ting's message, Gao Shu looked at his expression and shouted, "If you have something to say, please report it. If not, please leave the court——"

After a brief silence, the ministers left the Golden Palace in an orderly manner and dispersed.

Yang Ling followed Yun Ting to the imperial study, Song Cheng followed quietly behind Nan Yingzhi without leaving a trace, and the others walked around and chatted.

The Golden Throne Hall was not far from the palace gate. Soon, Nan Yingzhi and Song Cheng walked out of the palace gate one after the other.

Seeing that there were no colleagues watching around the palace gate, Song Cheng, who was apparently neutral, did not need to pretend not to know Nan Yingzhi. He bravely took a few steps forward.

When he was only one body length behind Nan Yingzhi, he began to greet her in a low voice: "My Lord, have you been well lately?"

Nan Yingzhi had always been able to sense someone following her through what martial artists called aura perception, so when Song Cheng spoke suddenly, she was not too surprised.

"I'm fine." She walked steadily to the front of the palace carriage and stopped. "There are so many people around, why don't you come up and talk to me, Mr. Song."

Unexpectedly, he could still enjoy the blessing of the royal carriage. Song Cheng hurriedly bowed and said excitedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Firstly to conceal his tracks, and secondly to provide appropriate benefits to his employees, Nan Yingzhi said "hmm" and got on the carriage first.

Thanks to Lingfeng's repeated guidance on etiquette, she has become very skilled in this movement and can do it neatly and elegantly at the same time.

Song Cheng was not a rough man, as he could write elegant words. He followed Nan Yingzhi carefully to the lower seat in the carriage.

In order to reduce Yun Ting's bargaining chips, Nan Yingzhi thought about organizing a martial arts competition for Yun Yan and marrying her off.

Thinking that Song Cheng loves to go out and play, while the "Prince Regent" rarely goes out and only walks back and forth between the "Imperial Palace and the Prince's Mansion", Nan Yingzhi took the initiative to start the topic.

"Song Qing, you often walk around the capital, and you know more about the sights in the capital than I do. Do you know where in the capital there are a lot of people coming and going, suitable for gathering people from all corners of the country to go to the arena to compete?"

"If Your Majesty wants to know where the most crowded and spacious place is," Song Cheng said after thinking for a moment, "it must be the largest bookstore in the capital, in front of Ruyi Pavilion. There is enough space for many carriages to park there!"

Before this, Nan Yingzhi had only heard of the First Bookstore but didn't know its name. Now that Song Cheng suddenly mentioned it, she felt a little confused.

Ruyi Pavilion, why does this name sound so similar to the "Ruyu Pavilion" that Yun Ji passed on to him?
