It is better to attack His Royal Highness than to compete in the world

The next day the emperor officially rewarded Ren Chengqing, but he did not let Ren Chengqing go to the court hall to listen to the reward, but the imperial decree went directly to the princess mansion.

Just after he came to court, Ren Chengqing was announced in the imperial study.While Ren Chengqing followed the servant to the imperial study, he discussed the current situation in Mosha City. Although he and Ye Lingzhao and Ren Chengzhuo had written letters, communication was limited after all.Since she left, no, it should be said that since Ye Du left, members of Ye's faction have been suppressed in various ways, and the other faction has risen rapidly. The civil servant faction headed by Prime Minister Jiang Shang has a prominent position in Beimo. All over the northern desert.In the 13th year of Xinhua, that is, the second year after Ye Du left, the position of Da Sima fell into the hands of Chen Yali.Chen Yali is Jiang Shang's student and the mainstay of Jiang Shang's influence in the court. Moreover, Chen Yali is also Chen Guifei's brother, and also the uncle of his third brother Ren Chengye.

When we arrived at the imperial study room, as expected, not only the emperor was there, but also the prime minister Jiang Shang and the great Sima Chen Yali were there. The emperor praised Ren Chengqing again, and Jiang Shang and Chen Yali agreed. situation.It took a long time before we got to the point: "Ah Qing also knows that Ye Dunasi's domineering and domineering military power is really a big disaster for me in Beimo, and I have to get rid of it. I thought my son could take over Ye Du's military power, but I can't delay Ah Qing because of my own desires, I can only take a long-term view. Chen Aiqing came up with a good idea, which won my heart."

The emperor looked at Chen Yali, and Chen Yali said: "Your Majesty is wise, Your Highness is brave, and captured Prince Xijing alive. This idea can only work. Under the guidance of the teacher, the students have perfected this plan, and finally they can share your majesty's worries." .”

"Master Chen, please tell me."

"When Prince Xijing came to Desert Sand City, the students were wondering whether it was an opportunity to improve our relationship with Xijing, and by the way, take advantage of Xijing's power to get rid of Ye Du, a big pest in Beimo. Later, the minister After contacting Prince Xijing, I found an opportunity. There are many princes in Xijing, and the princes are fighting for power. Prince Jing Er does not have much advantage in it. Prince Jing Er promised that if we let him go back, and let him kill Ye Du He must have greatly improved his status in the eyes of the Emperor Xijing. Once he ascends the throne, he is willing to form a friendship with Beimo and Jin Dynasty forever. This is a win-win situation for Beimo and Xijing." After Chen Yali finished speaking, the emperor went up It was a look of approval, while Jiang Shang frowned.

Ren Chengqing smiled contemptuously at Chen Yali and said, "What Master Chen said is very true. I don't know how Master Chen can let the second prince Jing kill Ye Du? I don't know that Xijing and I, Beimo, have a good relationship between Qin and Jin forever. Which princess?"

"In the face of the national crisis, please leave your personal grievances aside. If Ye Du is not eliminated, Beimo will be in trouble."

"Presumptuous, once General Ye dies, I, Beimo, will be at the head of the national crisis. Back then, who killed my people in Beimo, who protected my people in Beimo, the one who killed me was Xi Jing, and the one who protected me was Ye Du. Chen Yali, what is your intention to turn black and white and confuse people with evil words?"

Ren Chengqing sternly reprimanded Chen Yali, and Chen Yali immediately knelt down before the emperor: "I am wronged, Your Majesty, I have a pure heart, and the world can learn from it."

"Chen Aiqing please get up quickly, I understand." The emperor helped Chen Yali up, and then said to Ren Chengqing: "Ah Qing is so confused, Ye Du is now occupying the military power, once he rebels, who can subdue him, compared to Xijing Come on, Ye Du is the top priority. It needs to be removed as soon as possible. What's more, I spend a lot of money fighting in Beimo and Xijing every year. It is better to marry the two countries. Tangtang, it is enough to match my son. The second prince Jing promised that my son must be the empress, and Ah Qing's child will also be the prince of Xijing in the future, and everyone is a family, it is not a coincidence."

"Father, apart from occupying our military power in Beimo, has General Ye ever occupied anything else? Above the court, civil servants are in power, and under the court, the family monopolizes. Except for General Ye Du, the father told his son, is there any Can the second person be worthy of the post of general? Xijing is an ambitious wolf who has been eyeing Beimo for a long time. How ridiculous is it to seek skin from a tiger? As for the defeated general, he is also worthy of my Highness, Father, are you confused?" Ren Chengqing Without fear, he looked directly at the extremely strange father.

"Presumptuous, why are you and Ah Zhuo confused by Ye Du? If I had known, I shouldn't have let you go to the border with Ye Du. You actually helped outsiders. Ye Du is the wolf's ambition, yes I have high expectations for you, and you will repay me like this. The Central Plains has also heard about it since ancient times, how can it be passed down to descendants! The survivors desperately hope to recover, and there are tears in several places tonight! Princess Wen Ge, come back! Prince Yi, I have been counting on you to restore the glory of the royal family, so why are you helping Ye Du, are you going to piss me off?"

"Your Majesty, calm down. Your Highness is only young and was deceived by Ye Du." Chen Yali knelt down, begging the emperor to calm down, Ren Chengqing knelt down after him, but he was disdainful in his heart.How foolish it is to expect peace from a hungry wolf.Ren Chengqing no longer looked at the emperor's angry face, and cast his eyes on Jiang Shang who hadn't said a word. Jiang Shang frowned, met such a powerful gaze, and quickly avoided it.

No matter how much Ren Chengqing resisted, as soon as the golden words were spoken, Ren Chengqing immediately became a person waiting to be married, and the entire princess mansion was decorated with lights and festoons, and it was full of joy.Before going to the border, Ren Chengqing had been living in the imperial palace. When Ren Chengqing came back, the Princess Mansion was actually built, and the whole desert city became a little unfamiliar to her, especially her father.

Since the last time the Royal Study Room returned, the imperial decree was immediately issued to the Princess Mansion to recruit the second prince Xijing as a consort, and because the Princess needed to prepare for her marriage, Ren Chengqing was placed under house arrest in the Princess Mansion.The princess mansion is not allowed to keep men, and all the people brought back by Ren Chengqing from the border are separated. The servants of the entire princess mansion are imperial gifts, and the dozens of maids standing beside them are all handsome in appearance and gentle in temperament. She picks.The queen is not feeling well, and the preparations for the wedding are in the hands of Chen Guifei, and Ren Chengzhuo is appointed to go south to deal with the flood.The speed of the emperor's moves far exceeded Ren Chengqing's imagination.Before leaving from the border, Ye Du was afraid that there would be changes in Desert Sand City, so he specially asked Su Yan and Jiang Wenyan to follow Ren Chengqing back. At the same time, Ren Chengqing also picked one out of a thousand players from the Black Feather Rider to return together, but they were all separated.It's a good plan, Ren Chengqing's face is calm, his eyes are getting colder and colder, father, if you can use this scheming and courage to the outside world, how can I be like this in Beimo.

In the boudoir, Ren Chengqing was leaning on the bed in a gorgeous long dress, his eyes were full of magnificence, and outside the door were several maids who were on duty in turn. Without going out, Ren Chengqing could feel the hidden guards hidden around him, and they were already defending himself. At this level, Ren Chengqing didn't know whether he should be honored or sad. ''Your Highness, there are some things in this world that you know you can't do, but you have to do it, just like the minister beheaded the princes back then. "Recalling Ye Du's words, Ren Chengqing couldn't lie down anymore, walked to the window, looked out of the window, the dark clouds were rolling in, and the sky would eventually change.

"Your Highness, Princess Chaoyang, please see me."

"Please princess."

Ye Lingzhao was brought into Ren Chengqing's boudoir. This was the first time that someone else took Ye Lingzhao into the princess mansion, and he was extremely aggrieved. Ye Lingzhao swore that this was also the last time that someone else took Ye Lingzhao into Ren Chengqing's room.The Princess Mansion is already very familiar, because when the Princess Mansion was being built, Ye Lingzhao would come here every day, and from time to time give advice and add things there.Thinking of how they lived here with Ren Chengqing in the future, I feel very happy.But this time it was a little strange, and the makeup became heavy, which made Ye Lingzhao somewhat unable to see the princess mansion clearly.Pushing open the door of the room, Ren Chengqing was waiting inside, saw Ye Lingzhao, turned his head and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.Bei Mo has always valued dark colors and admired gorgeous beauty, while Ren Chengqing has always gone the other way. He mostly dresses in light-colored and simple clothes. Even in his previous life, he always appeared in a light white Hu suit , so the world has many stories about the beauty of His Royal Highness, his heroic appearance, and his handsomeness.But at this time, Ren Chengqing was wearing a gorgeous palace dress, mainly black, with red as the base. Under the background of the bright red, Ren Chengqing, who is usually cold, showed a three-point charm. He smiled at Ye Lingzhao, and took away Ye Lingzhao's soul. .

"Why did Ah Zhao want to see me today?" Ye Lingzhao didn't know if it was an illusion, but Ye Lingzhao always felt that there was a little temper in Ren Chengqing's words.Ye Lingzhao was able to complain in his heart. He thought that Ren Chengqing had a plan, so why did he restrain the urge to see Ren Chengqing with the idea of ​​not getting off his back, but after so long, Ren Chengqing didn't move at all. Could it be that he really wanted to marry? Go to Xijing and try to change Beimo from the outside.This idea is really possible for Ren Chengqing, Ye Lingzhao panicked when he thought about it.

"Sister Ah Qing, you won't, really?" Ye Lingzhao wanted to ask, do you really want to marry to Xijing, but with so many maids around, Ye Lingzhao didn't even need to think about it I didn't know how to express the consequences, so I could only hug Ren Chengqing all at once, gritted my teeth, and cried without knowing it.His arms were full of the girl's fragrance, Ren Chengqing felt his neck was wet, and even the resentment that Ye Lingzhao hadn't appeared for many days was gone, so he could only pat the girl's back to comfort her.

When Ye Lingzhao raised his head, only Ren Chengqing and himself were left in the room. Facing Ye Lingzhao's suspicious eyes, Ren Chengqing explained helplessly: "At any rate, I am still the eldest princess in name of Beimo, and the possible future queen of Xijing is not as good as you think." Miserable. It’s not a problem to mobilize a few maids, if you want to come to the princess mansion, come here, it’s no big deal.”

Seeing Ren Chengqing speak so easily, Ye Lingzhao became even more nervous: "You, don't you really want to go to Xijing?"

"Why, Ah Zhao is reluctant?"

"I don't allow it. I told you that I like you and I want to be with you for the rest of my life. You are not allowed to go to Xijing, and you are not allowed to like that prince in Xijing. Seriously, you are not allowed to laugh. That wimp must be Not the emperor of Xijing"

"Azhao is so sure, then Azhao will do the math for me, who can be the emperor of Xijing?"

"You're teasing me again, so I won't tell you." Of course Ye Lingzhao is who is Ren Chengqing's real enemy, but he can't open his mouth. No one has heard his name, Jing Yuan, the third prince of Xijing. .

"Don't be angry, Ah Zhao, how could I go to Xijing, a place like that." Ren Chengqing smiled.

"Then what are you going to do? In one month, Xijing's wedding party will be here. You, what are you going to do?"

"If you have wine tonight and get drunk tonight, why should Azhao care about a month later? Azhao only needs to trust me."

"Really?" Ye Lingzhao looked up at Ren Chengqing, his face was full of confusion, Ren Chengqing nodded seriously, Ye Lingzhao's eyes turned to complete trust, this person is the whole of her life.

Since she came to the Princess Mansion last time, Ye Lingzhao often came to see Ren Chengqing. She found that what Ren Chengqing said was true. She thought Ren Chengqing too sadly. Under the eyes of the maids and guards, Ren Chengqing's actions in Desert Sand City are unrestricted.

Ren Chengqing himself was not used to being close to strangers, so he brought Mei Jie, Lan You, Zhu Jun, and Ju Yi back to serve him personally.Mei Jie is already married, and she goes back to her husband's house every night, and comes to the princess mansion in the morning.Lan You has changed from a little palace maid back then to Aunt Lan, and she still cried so hard when she saw Ren Chengqing.Mr. Zhu still kept practicing martial arts, and his swordsmanship was superb. Ren Chengqing felt that he should not be able to pass a few moves in Mr. Zhu's hands.Ju Yi didn't change much, and surrounded Ren Chengqing non-stop asking about what he had seen on the battlefield.The huge Princess Mansion finally became more lively.

Her Royal Highness, the only princess in Beimo, has returned, and posts from various aristocratic families have also been handed over to the princess mansion, some requesting an audience, and some inviting Ren Chengqing to participate in activities. During the banquet, the emperor was relieved a lot.Although the emperor ordered Ren Chengqing to be monitored, there were so many people going in and out of the princess mansion every day, there were always mistakes.The son of this family, the young lady of that family, the servants of the Wang family, and the maids of the Li family can't follow one by one, so the guards can only guard Ren Chengqing and prevent her from contacting strangers.The letter with Su Yan came in through Ye Lingzhao, Gong Yi, Mei Jie and other people. Although the two hadn't seen each other since they separated that day, it didn't affect the communication. The plan was quickly implemented, and the emperor focused his attention on Ren Chengqing. , On the contrary, it is convenient for Su Yan and the others to do things.

The guards of Desert Sand City are divided into two parts.One is the forbidden army, and the other is the imperial city garrison.The number of imperial guards is only 1, and most of them are descendants of aristocratic families. They are responsible for the security of the palace and work in shifts. That is to say, there are only 5000 people on duty.The chief and deputy commanders of the imperial army are Zhang Wei and Huang Zhan. They are at odds with each other. Zhang Wei was single-handedly promoted by the current emperor. Although he is younger than Huang Zhan in age and experience, he rose to the top quickly. Huang Zhan should be loyal to the emperor. for this position.The imperial city garrison was stationed less than ten miles outside the imperial city, with a total number of [-]. They directly obeyed the emperor's orders, but the garrison had to be dispatched by the emperor's order or the imperial city was in danger.

The [-] garrison is a tricky problem, and it is difficult to put people in.Ren Chengqing wanted to take over the imperial palace, but the garrison was a hurdle he couldn't overcome.Ren Chengqing has been frowning for the past few days. Although he is full of confidence in Ye Lingzhao's performance, Ren Chengqing knows that this matter is close to death.

On this day, Ren Chengqing was studying in the study, and Mei Jie stood beside him, hesitating to speak.Ren Chengqing put down the book and asked the left and right to step back, leaving only Mei Jie.

"What's the matter, Sister Mei, what's the matter?"

Mei Jie stepped forward to smooth Ren Chengqing's frown, and said with a smile: "Your Highness has been frowning these past few days, and asked me what's the matter."

"Really, it looks like I've been too obvious." Ren Chengqing responded with a smile.

"The few of us grew up with His Highness since childhood. If His Highness has any troubles, you can talk to us. It may not help His Highness. At least don't worry about it."

"What can I worry about? Maybe it's because staying in the princess mansion is too boring."

"Your Highness is bored, so let Lan You spend more time with you. That girl Lan You knows a lot, so she can definitely make His Highness laugh. I wonder if Lan You told His Highness, who am I marrying?" Ren Chengqing raised his head and glanced at Mei Jie , frowned again, and was smoothed by Mei Jie.Of course Ren Chengqing knew who Mei Jie's husband was, and the garrison was commanded by Liang Guang, a moderate official, but as long as he used it well, it wouldn't be a problem to hold back the garrison.

"I know His Highness is a person with great ambitions, and I don't know much about politics, but if I can help His Highness, I will be very happy."

"No, this matter is too dangerous." It's not that Ren Chengqing doesn't trust Mei Jie. Mei Jie is a palace maid carefully selected by the empress. She grew up with her since she was a child. She treats Mei Jie as her own sister. , It is a serious crime that implicates the entire family.

"There is no danger in doing anything. Although His Highness has been away for five years, he is still our Highness. Let me leave this matter to Mei Jie. Yes, Mr. Mei Jie will depend on His Highness for wealth in the future. If not, I hope His Highness can help Mei. Jie and her husband were buried together." Mei Jie broke the point, once Liang Guang could not be persuaded, she would not spare Ren Chengqing with Liang Guang's life.

Ren Chengqing thought about it for a while. Whoever is in charge of contacting the garrison has the risk of leaking the secrets. Now there is really no suitable person on hand. "Okay, I'll leave it to Sister Mei."

"Your Highness has just returned, so you can spend more time in the palace to avoid boredom. You still have a lot of acquaintances."

"it is good."

A few days later, Mei Jie told Ren Chengqing that the matter had been settled.Ren Chengqing told Mei Jie to tell Ye Lingzhao to bring the news to Su Yan.

Ren Chengqing is ready, and Su Yan or Ye Du has already been ready.From the moment he knew that the emperor had given birth to the third prince, Ye Du made preparations.The most unreliable thing in this world is the emperor's feelings.
