However, whether it was due to arrogance from being favored or taking advantage of power, the prince's orders could not be disobeyed. The few people who had rushed in quickly bowed and took their leave, turning to exit, but Yun Ling remained behind and respectfully asked, "Your Highness, is there anything you wish to command me?"
Yun Qingyu looked at Yun Ling and asked in a calm voice, "I have heard that you are well-versed in both literature and martial arts, skilled in military affairs. This Palace wishes for you to join the Silver Armored Army."
Yun Lingchuan glanced at Xin Yao and then slowly nodded, saying, "I have indeed studied military strategy for some time, but Your Highness has just taken command of the Silver Armored Army. It is the right time for you to establish your authority personally, especially with the impending rebellion."
Yun Qingyu corrected Xin Yao while explaining lightly, "There is no rebellion. The news of unrest at Mirror Lake Mountain is false; its purpose is to transfer the military power of the Ling Family into this Palace's hands. Therefore, my focus in the coming days will not be on quelling a rebellion but on training the Silver Armored Army. You need to devise a detailed training plan and submit it to this Palace by tomorrow. Additionally, pay attention to the various ranks of officers in the camp and make necessary adjustments; capable individuals should be promoted while all those who are merely filling positions must be dismissed."
Yun Ling fell silent for a moment before responding affirmatively, pondering inwardly: It always feels good to be trusted and valued. He then asked, "Why does Your Highness trust me so much?"
Yun Qingyu glanced at him without any change in expression and replied, "You were recommended by Xin Yao."
Upon hearing this, Yun Ling looked at the taciturn Xin Yao and said, "Then I should thank Xin Yao."
Yun Qingyu coldly commanded again, "Bring those young lords from the princes' households into the military camp for separate training. Within three months, I want to see results from their training."
Yun Lingchuan was the first among several attendants to be valued as a talented general, tasked with an incredibly sacred and challenging mission. Just as he was preparing to respectfully take his leave, Lu Jun rushed in with a panicked expression and reported urgently, "Your Highness, the Fifth Prince has barged into the Princess Residence with his men; please make a decision."
While teaching Xin Yao how to play the zither, Yun Qingyu handed over command of the Silver Armored Army acquired from the Ling Family to Yun Ling. Suddenly, the steward hurried in with news about the Fifth Prince's intrusion into the Princess Residence.
Upon hearing this, a cold smile flashed in Yun Qingyu's eyes as he said, "Let him come; just hold him off slightly without engaging too directly. If he wants to add fuel to the fire, this Palace will naturally give him that opportunity."
The steward immediately understood the Eldest Princess's intentions and left to carry out her orders.
Yun Qingyu walked towards Xin Yao and said, "Have him send someone to inform the Dark Pavilion Steward. The Fifth Prince has barged into the Princess Residence with his men. Tell the Dark Pavilion Steward to report this matter truthfully to the Emperor."
Xin Yao acknowledged and immediately vanished from in front of the guqin.
After sitting down, Yun Qingyu began to ponder: The Third Prince and the Lu Family had been quiet lately, which allowed him some breathing room. However, the Ling Family was still active; it seemed he needed to act quickly against them and take advantage of the situation to strike at the Ling Family.
Although after the downfall of the Ling Family, the court officials would surely criticize him, claiming he even spared neither his mother nor his uncle, so what?
At that moment, the Fifth Prince stormed into the Eastern Pavilion with a dark expression, shouting furiously, "Yun Qingyu, have you lost your mind? Not only did you seize Uncle's military power, but you also killed one of his generals. Are you trying to rebel?"
He appeared ready to throw a punch at any moment.
Yun Qingyu remained calm and unperturbed as he poured himself tea. "Father has decreed that I manage the Silver Armored Army. What do you intend by coming here in a frenzy with your men?"
The Fifth Prince was as restless as an ant on a hot pan.
Yet Yun Qingyu maintained his indifferent demeanor, which only fueled the Fifth Prince's anger. He slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "I came here to hold you accountable! You abuse the little power Father has given you, acting recklessly and tyrannically. Yun Qingyu, you have gone too far! The Ling Family is our maternal clan; those two generals support them. You can't tell friend from foe; you've lost your mind!"
Yun Qingyu leisurely finished his cup of tea, completely disregarding the Fifth Prince's outburst.
The more Yun Qingyu acted this way, the more enraged the Fifth Prince became. He shouted angrily, "Yun Qingyu, I'm talking to you!"
With a mocking glint in his eyes, Yun Qingyu raised an eyebrow and replied, "This Palace thinks your current shouting makes you look more like a madman. Yun Tianzheng, you truly are a fool!"
The Fifth Prince was so furious that he felt like going up and biting Yun Qingyu a couple of times.
