It's night, the first queen's palace, Fengqi Palace.

It has been nearly 20 years since Yi Ren passed away, but the time in this palace seems to have been frozen 20 years ago. The appearance, even the plants and trees are exactly the same as before.

Perhaps this is Emperor Jing Ren's favor, a joke-like and useless favor.

The only thing that has changed in the entire palace may be the portraits filled in the sleeping hall, and Emperor Jingren surrounded by many portraits.At this time, he looked down at the portrait in his hand, but his thoughts drifted away.

A month has passed, and of course he has already figured it out.

It's just that he never expected that all the plans would come to naught in an instant, the deposed prince was useless, and the heirs withered, but the person who should have been in the palm of his hand became the final winner.

Emperor Jingren closed his eyes, and suddenly remembered the scene of the confrontation in the court that day.It wasn't until then that he seemed to really see what his eldest son looked like.

Forbearance for nearly 20 years, the strategy is interlocking, and finally won the beauty, so now even if he is reluctant, there is nothing he can do.

He looked at the portrait in his hand, and his eyes were in a trance for a moment.I still remember a long time ago, when he just succeeded to the throne, he thought about what his prince would be like in the future, but now that he thinks about it, he is exactly the same as He Yiqing.

In the past, he thought that the deposed prince would be a perfect emperor, but now that he thought about it, He Yiqing was the best result.

As for his long-standing concerns, the Xie family?

Emperor Jing Ren stared at the portrait, the person on it had elegant eyebrows and quick eyes, which was his favorite appearance.

But Emperor Jing Ren now has no expression on his face, his tenderness is no longer there, the corner of his mouth curled up for a while, but he stretched out his hand-throwing the painting on the candlelight!

It was because of his misconceptions that he made his eldest son suffer for nearly 20 years. Why was he so ruthless to his son instead of attacking outsiders?

The flame danced ferociously, devouring the portrait bit by bit, but Emperor Jing Ren laughed, but the smile was so vicious that it made one's heart jump.

Fortunately, it is not too late.

He is the king, and the king's destiny is heaven, so the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die.

When they return in triumph, it will be their "day of loyalty".

------------

After half a month, we will go to the border.

The flames of war continued, and the smoke did not fall.

Xie Hou sat on the horse and looked up at the word "Yancheng" in front of the city gate.

Counting it now, it has been five months.

Five months ago, the Beidi cavalry began to step into the territory of Dagan from here, and now it will finally end here.

Suddenly, fine rain fell. The rain was not heavy, but it washed away the gate above the city gate with the word "Yancheng" written on it, and washed away the blood-stained armor of the soldiers. Xie Hou came back to his senses, Take the reins and enter the city.

I only hope that the blood and tears of the enemy can comfort the souls of the people.

According to historical records, on May [-]th, Xie Hou led the troops to recapture Yancheng, repelled the enemy for more than [-] miles, and captured three enemy generals and four thousand soldiers. Yancheng was victorious, and Beidi asked for peace.

For nearly a hundred years since then, Beidi has never dared to take half a step into Daqian.

...........

But a few days later, there was an earth-shattering quarrel in the imperial city and the morning court.

The Minister of the Ministry of War stepped forward, his face flushed red: "Your Majesty! Beidi is greedy, even if he asks for peace, it must be a way to delay the army. I think we should go all out and continue to attack—"

"My minister is different!" Before he finished speaking, another person hurried forward and retorted sharply, "The war has lasted for five months, and people are dying. If it continues, it may be detrimental to the people's livelihood. I think the answer should be peace. It is beneficial to the common people in the world—”

"Short-sighted..."

One group of civil and military officials begged for peace, the other for war, and the quarrel caused blue veins to pop up in the neck.

Emperor Jing Ren sat on it and didn't speak until his voice gradually died down.

"Zhang Aiqing is right." The person he praised was the one who advocated for peace. "The war lasted for five months, and the treasury was empty. It was a waste of money for the people. If the fight continues, it will not be conducive to the stability of the people. I think it is the best policy to agree to peace. What do you guys think?"

The court hall was silent for a moment, and after a while, some officials still spoke up.

"Think twice, Your Majesty! Beidi is greedy and insatiable. If you don't calm down, you may raise tigers and cause endless trouble!" As soon as he finished speaking, someone echoed his words, hoping that the emperor would take back his order and send troops to attack Beidi.

"I've made up my mind," Emperor Jing Ren said coldly, "You want to fight so much, don't tell me you don't pay attention to the suffering people? Let's go on, how about I send you to the frontier, as you wish?"

The faces of the admonishing officials turned pale in an instant, and they just knelt down and said they didn't dare.

Emperor Jing Ren breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again: "Do you still have any objections?"

All the officials looked at each other in blank dismay, and could only kneel down and shout: "Your Majesty is wise, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

Emperor Jing Ren lowered his eyes to look at the kneeling officials, and suddenly looked at He Yiqing who was standing in front, but smiled like a loving father.

Meeting his gaze, He Yiqing's brows twitched violently, and his heart was vigilant, because it was too late for Emperor Jing Ren to hate him, how could he show such an expression?

Emperor Jingren withdrew his gaze and said with a smile, "Is there anything else to start?"

And the next official who stood up was tall and thin, with a white face and beardless, but he was the out-and-out lackey of the emperor——Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.

"I have a chance to play! The frontier is a great victory, but the country cannot live without a prince, and a crown prince should be established as soon as possible to ensure the stability of the country." The minister of the Ministry of Rites said and looked at He Yiqing, "I think His Royal Highness is the head of the line, and the virtue of With both talent and talent, he is the perfect candidate for the crown prince."

As soon as he finished speaking, the officials of his faction echoed one after another.

But this not only failed to make He Yiqing feel happy, but made him even more vigilant.

"That's right," Emperor Jing Ren nodded, as if he agreed with the proposal, "What do other lovers think?"

Seeing no answer from the crowd, Emperor Jingren smiled and said: "Then according to what Aiqing said, this matter will be left to the Ministry of Rites, but I will take care of it."

The minister of the Ministry of Rites saluted: "I should do my best to live up to the emperor's kindness."

After that, all civil and military officials knelt on the ground and said "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the prince", but He Yiqing didn't feel the slightest joy while watching this scene.

Now he is the only prince left, but even if it is a certainty for him to become the prince, as usual, Emperor Jingren would never let go so easily, and even proposed it on his own initiative, how is this possible?

Looking at Emperor Jing Ren's smiling face, an ominous premonition suddenly surged in He Yiqing's heart, but he couldn't grasp the clue at all.

But the sunlight outside the hall was so intense that it was so dull that it made people breathless.
