Queen is the top

Ever since Concubine Hui was imprisoned in Hehe Palace by Cheng Yingzong, the harem has been quiet for a while. Cheng Yingzong only said that Concubine Hui was frightened by the invasion of evil spirits, and invited eminent monks to pray for Concubine Hui in Hehe Palace. Refused He Mingcheng and Concubine Hui as Jiang Shilang, the elder brother of General Habayashi, to visit her, and only allowed Concubine Hui to leave the Hehe Palace. Therefore, General Hushi could not find a reason to ask for love this time. The concubine was imprisoned again.

In the Hall of Political Affairs, Cheng Yingzong put down the memorial sent by the Hushi General and smiled coldly. Although the Hushi General wanted to ask him to favor Concubine Hui again, his words actually meant to warn Cheng Yingzong.

Although Cheng Yingzong was afraid of his military power and also cared about his eldest son's life-saving grace, as an emperor, his words were already provocative to the imperial power, which made him quite displeased.

He took a long look ahead. He definitely wanted to make He Jingyi the emperor. This was his promise and wish. If he had no choice but to live up to the kindness of the past.

Cheng Yingzong sighed leisurely, thinking of the entanglement with Concubine Hui's family is also complicated.

In order to save the Crown Prince Shengzun, Cheng Yingzong mobilized troops to attack Changping Capital in a rage. Although he had Yuan Taishi, Yuan Qingcheng, who was General Yulin at that time, and the Prince Shengzun's faction to help him, his troops were not as good as The three kings have a lot of hands, if the general of the hussars hadn't come all the way from the northern border of Hebei to help him, then he would not be able to defeat the three kings and seize the throne, no matter whether the general of the hussars thought it was because Concubine Hui married him On the son, but the loyalty of the general when he sacrificed his family and eldest son to save Cheng Yingzong still made him quite emotional.

Cheng Yingzong has disliked Concubine Hui for so many years, but he would not make things difficult for her. Apart from being afraid of her family's military power, there is also a factor of gratitude for the general's kindness.

Cheng Yingzong lowered his head, without saying a word, he secretly calculated the current power layout, and only hoped that there would be no more chaos in the Concubine Hui's faction, so that He Jingyi could inherit the throne smoothly.

When he thought of Concubine Hui, he thought of He Mingcheng again. It wasn't that he didn't love his son, after all, Concubine Hui was too guilty. Even without He Jingyi, he would not let He Mingcheng inherit the throne. If He Mingcheng became emperor, he and Concubine Hui He will definitely not treat the queen well.

The queen followed Cheng Yingzong when she was 14 years old. The two young couples were also in harmony back then, and raised their eyebrows together. Then the general took a fancy to Cheng Yingzong, who was not favored at the time. That is to say, Concubine Hui promised to be his side concubine. Concubine Hui was arrogant and felt that her mother's family was noble, but she only married an unfavored prince as a side concubine. Instigating Cheng Yingzong's relationship with the queen, the queen was concerned about her father's military power and Cheng Yingzong's future, and was afraid of making Cheng Yingzong in a dilemma. Yingzong's family is harmonious, but being too modest makes the other party gain an inch. The queen's humility and Cheng Yingzong's unintentional indulgence finally made Concubine Hui do the thing that made them regret for life.

Cheng Yingzong felt that he owed too much to the Queen about Concubine Hui, and he had to make plans for her behind him so that he could rest assured.

Cheng Yingzong faintly recalled that when he was still a prince, his prince brother He Zhaocheng was so heroic, talented, and so brave and decisive. That magnificent bearing and foresight is what an emperor should look like. Instead of being indecisive like him, thinking too much, hesitating in everything.

His greatest wish is to see He Zhaocheng enthroned as emperor with his own eyes, so that he can loyally assist him, but it is a pity that the former emperor was fatuous and stubborn, he listened to the slander of the three kings and imprisoned He Zhaocheng. The false imperial decree made He Zhaocheng commit suicide, and he wanted to kill Queen Jingren and exterminate the roots. When Cheng Yingzong received the news and rushed to Changping Capital, he could only save Queen Jingren, but He Zhaocheng had already died.

Cheng Yingzong thought of Crown Prince Shengzun and Empress Jingren sorely, and sighed: Fortunately, Jingyi is like you, and he will be a good emperor in the future. Brother Prince, your spirit in heaven must bless Jingyi to inherit the throne safely, and I will live up to Sister Ahuang It was entrusted that year.

Cheng Yingzong fell into the memory, with a melancholy expression, sometimes with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and sometimes with a slight frown, he was thinking so seriously that he didn't even notice that Xu Tinglu entered the hall.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Xu Tinglu hesitated for a while, and then called twice to attract Cheng Yingzong's attention. Cheng Yingzong was stunned and looked up at him, "What's the matter?"

Xu Tinglu hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness and Master Yuan Taishi are asking to see you."

Cheng Yingzong withdrew his mind and hurriedly said, "Let them in."

Xu Tinglu hurriedly bowed and said yes, and quickly walked out of the hall to invite the two into the hall.

He Jingyi and Grand Master Yuan walked into the hall and bowed to Cheng Yingzong. Cheng Yingzong remembered the past just now. Seeing He Jingyi's heart moved at this moment, he looked at him kindly and said, "Yi'er, it's so late, what can you do with your father?"

He Jingyi and Grand Master Yuan sat down at Cheng Yingzong's instruction, and after the palace servants finished serving the tea and left, He Jingyi handed a list written in linen to Cheng Yingzong.

"This is..." Cheng Yingzong looked at the list in his hand in puzzlement, almost all of them were ministers of the court and China, and some even ranked above the third rank.

He Jingyi said with a serious expression: "This is the list of officials and nobles who have contacts with the Zijin Sect."

Cheng Yingzong was shocked and said: "So many officials are involved with that cult?!"

After finishing speaking, he carefully read the list of officials twice, and was very shocked. He Jingyi said: "A small heresy spreads so fast, there must be someone secretly helping it. As expected, we found this list."

Cheng Yingzong looked at He Jingyi and Grand Master Yuan, "Do you have any suggestions?"

He Jingyi said: "If the Zijin Cult really intends to rebel as we guessed, then these officials must be eradicated, but we don't know the exact number of their congregation yet, I'm afraid there are more hidden people among them in the court, who are known as my sons and ministers. See, let's get rid of the people on the list one by one first, if there are still forces involved, then this sect will definitely take action, and the rest of the evil party involved with him will also show their feet."

Grand Master Yuan nodded: "From the current situation, this is the only way to go. Besides, Your Majesty, this matter can only be done in secret. The less people know about it, the better."

Cheng Yingzong nodded deeply, "Yi'er and the grand master are right. This religion is too weird. It is beyond the reach of ordinary people to develop so quickly without making a fuss. It must be someone in a high position." Support him secretly, if we don't catch him, I'm afraid Dacheng will not be at peace."

He Jingyi said quietly, "Grandpa and I have already made a plan. It is easy to deal with the officials who take office far away, but these few second-rank officials may have to think of ways."

Cheng Yingzong glanced at the list of those people, and sighed, "These people have always acted in a low-key manner, not getting close to any prince, and they are extraordinarily diligent and considerate in dealing with others. I really didn't expect that I would be a loyal minister and good general. "

Seeing that Cheng Yingzong was sad about this, He Jingyi hurriedly said: "Father has always been politically clear and remonstrated like a follower. These people's betrayal of Mingjun is their lack of virtue. Father don't have to worry about it."

Cheng Yingzong let out a sigh, and said in a deep voice, "Leave the people above the second rank to me to deal with, and Yi'er and the Grand Master will eradicate the rest of the evil party one by one."

He Jingyi and Yuan Taishi hurriedly said "yes", and talked with Cheng Yingzong before leaving the Yizheng Hall.
