Queen is the top

He Mingcheng opened the mechanism in his study, and a dark entrance appeared in front of his eyes. Holding an oil lamp, he walked down the stairs step by step until he entered a secret room.

Dim oil lamps were lit on the four walls of the secret room, and a man wearing a black cloak whose face could not be seen was sitting behind the desk in the center of the secret room.

He Mingcheng walked towards the man, the man raised his head slightly, lifted his cloak hat, stood up and cupped his hands towards He Mingcheng: "Elder Prince."

He Mingcheng nodded, walked to the desk and sat down, "Sir, please sit down."

The man sat down opposite He Mingcheng without much courtesy, and He Mingcheng looked at the man and said, "What is Mr. Pei looking for me today?"

This person is Shang Shuling Pei Chongjin, he smiled naively, looking quite honest, but his bright eyes revealed the calculation in his eyes.

"What does the eldest prince think about the turmoil in Zhangzhou?"

He Mingcheng frowned, and said strangely: "Jiangnan Road, Fujian Province, Zhao Ruyi is quite skillful in observing history. Zhangzhou has always been stable, so it's inconceivable how a riot happened so easily."

Pei Chongjin shook his head, "Why did this riot start, don't worry about it for now, I just ask the eldest prince what he thinks."

He Mingcheng said: "What opinion can I have? Although Father did not speak today, but with Father's disposition, he will definitely order to quell the chaos."

Pei Chongjin nodded, as if he was very satisfied with his answer, "That's true, but who will go to put down the chaos?"

He Mingcheng wondered: "Zhao Ruyi must go, even if the court sends people to go, they will definitely find a general."

Pei Chongjin smiled slightly, "This is precisely the opportunity for the eldest prince."

He Mingcheng was startled, "My chance?"

"Yes, a chance to save the situation."

He Mingcheng hurriedly said: "What does your lord mean by that?"

Pei Chongjin said: "The eldest prince also knows that most of the important officials in the court belong to the crown prince, but no matter how many courtiers support the prince, there are no more than the emperor. If the prince has not ascended the throne for a day, he is just a prince and not an emperor, and the eldest prince still has a chance. "

He Mingcheng rolled his eyes, "You mean you want me to please my father?"

Pei Chongjin said: "The eldest prince is smart. Before the crown prince ascends the throne, everything is uncertain. What the eldest prince has to do now is to regain the trust of the emperor. Especially when the concubine Hui falls out of favor, you have to help the emperor to solve the problem and get it." His favor."

He Mingcheng snorted coldly, "Father prefers He Jingyi, no one in the court knows, it's not easy for me to win his weight in Father's heart."

Pei Chongjin smiled and said, "Now is the opportunity."

He Mingcheng is also considered a smart person. Combining his words before and after, he can understand after careful consideration, "You want me to ask for orders to quell the chaos?"

Pei Chongjin showed a look of surprise, "The eldest prince is indeed extremely intelligent, and I have not misjudged the person."

He Mingcheng was praised by him, and his heart felt a little flustered. He thought for a while and said: "But I have never led troops to fight, how can I quell the chaos?"

Pei Chongjin said with a smile: "The main purpose of the prince leading troops is to boost the momentum of the army. It is enough to have a general in charge of the marching formation, so the eldest prince can rest assured. Besides, if the eldest prince really wants to lead troops to quell the chaos, the general will definitely not stand by , will definitely assign one or two capable generals to assist the First Prince, when the time comes, the First Prince will only need to rely on them, and there is no need to go to the front line to participate in the battle."

He Mingcheng was very reasonable when he heard it, so he could get Cheng Yingzong to look at him differently without having to work hard.

"Once the eldest prince succeeds in quelling the chaos, he must have made great contributions. His Majesty will definitely reward you for your merits. Not only will you be spared the crime of corruption and bribery, but you may even be rewarded with a title. At that time, the situation will definitely change. You will no longer be as passive as before.”

When He Mingcheng heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, "In this way, there are only advantages and no disadvantages."

Pei Chongjin smiled and said: "From the perspective of my eyes, this must be the best move made by the eldest prince."

He Mingcheng nodded leisurely, "What Master Pei said is very true."

After he finished speaking, he and Pei Chongjin looked at each other and smiled, and there was a little light in each other's eyes. The difference was that He Mingcheng was delighted, while Pei Chongjin was secretly delighted.

In the early morning of the next day, Cheng Yingzong brought up the turmoil in Zhangzhou. As expected, the courtiers understood that Cheng Yingzong's mind was mainly to fight. The prince's factions all supported him to lead the army. In the end, Cheng Yingzong saw that his words were sincere and did not seem to be fake. He also considered training his ability and gave him a chance to redeem his sins. He Mingcheng ordered He Mingcheng to lead the army to Zhangzhou to quell the chaos.

In the Shangshu Hall of Zichen Palace, He Jingyi sat behind the desk with Shi Yuqing in his arms, watching him draw a wolf on the silk with his hand.

After Shi Yuqing finished writing, he smiled at He Jingyi, and He Jingyi looked at the two people standing side by side under the apricot tree and watching life, and nodded his nose, "Is this me and Lan Jun?"

Shi Yuqing said: "Of course it's me and Jingyi."

He Jingyi laughed, "Is there something wrong with Lan Jun's height?"

Shi Yuqing hurriedly said: "What's wrong, it's clearly right."

He Jingyi looked at the two villains of the same height in the painting, and at the expectation of "you are right, we are clearly the same height" in Shi Yuqing's eyes, and nodded with a smile, "Yes, that's right."

Shi Yuqing heard a smile, looked at the picture scroll and said, "I haven't fully grown up yet, maybe I will be as tall as Jing Yi at some point."

Seeing his serious expression, He Jingyi smiled and said nothing, Shi Yuqing narrowed her eyes, "Does Jingyi not believe me?"

He Jingyi hurriedly said: "Of course not, Lan Jun hasn't grown up yet, and he will definitely be taller than me when he grows up."

Shi Yuqing was happy when she heard this, she shook the pen in her hand with a smile, and said, "That's natural."

He Jingyi was amused by him, rubbed his cheek with his finger, and was about to speak when Yun Donghai suddenly walked in and asked Hua Nanjin and Ye Cong to see him.

He Jingyi nodded, and Yun Donghai went out to summon the two of them.

Shi Yuqing put away the scroll, and He Jingyi smiled and said, "Why are you in such a hurry to collect it, the ink is not dry yet."

"It's not good to be seen by others."

He Jingyi smiled, "What's wrong?"

Shi Yuqing's eyes showed shame, "I painted this for Jingyi in private, I don't want others to see it."

He Jingyi was taken aback for a moment, before he quickly rolled up the painting, "The one given to me by Lan Jun must be put away carefully."

Seeing his happy look, Shi Yuqing's heart warmed up, she smiled and said nothing, at that time Hua Nanjin and Ye Cong walked in, saw the two of them looking at each other with lingering smiles, they looked at each other with a smile and stopped walking. Before bothering.

He Jingyi didn't even look at the two of them, and said, "What are you two doing standing there, come in."
