The first favorite of rebirth

Even if autumn is about to enter, the night in the south of the Five Ridges is still unbearably hot and humid. Looking thousands of miles away from the north, the capital is gradually showing chills.Outside the pale gable of Qingyun Temple, Fu Congjin got off the soft sedan chair slowly, and stood on the steps with Zheyu's hand, the moonlight fell like a veil, gradually covering his outline completely.

Fu Congjin was tall and tall, he had been away from the battlefield for several years, his face was full of sternness, but it was as gentle as jade, he stared at the gable for a long time, but he didn't have any intention of leaving.

"Master, do you want to go up?" Zheyu whispered, "You haven't seen him for many years..."

"No, I just came to take a look." Fu Congjin turned around and smiled, with a gentle tone, "At this time in the past, I went out to drink with many brothers. When the father found out, he said that the child's affairs should be handled by the queen, but the queen only punished him. I knelt alone in her study, and I knelt until late at night. It was the emperor who came to see me and brought me a box of pastries. For so many years, the imperial dining room has not improved at all, and I have never eaten anything bigger than that. That's even better dim sum."

"You son of a lowly maidservant, it is a great favor for me to save your life, but you still want to be brothers with the crown prince! The crown prince is the future emperor, what has he to do with a bitch like you!"

The empress is kind-hearted like Guanyin in the painting, but her two fingers are as red as blood. Fu Congjin knelt down on the ground, her fingers covered with dust and plaster. The child born to the lowly slaves who climbed onto the dragon bed when they were pregnant.Perhaps it was her own birth that shattered her slightest fantasies about the Tian family's feelings, but with her poor mind locked deep in the palace, she could only spread her grievances on people other than the emperor.

Even thinking of this, Fu Congjin's expression was still extremely gentle, as if immersed in reminiscing about childhood fun, but Zhe Yu secretly squeezed his fingers, "Master, they were the ones who failed you in the past, and you are very tolerant to save his life. "

"And Pei Qi, that kid always loves to laugh, and is gentle even when he is angry. Everyone thinks I am a rude general, but he is the only one who wants to call me 'Prince' from the bottom of his heart. He likes to bow his head and scream My face is buried in a furry scarf, I really look like a fox." Fu Congjin's smile remained on his face, "If it hadn't happened, I would really like to stay at the border for the rest of my life, blowing the cold wind for the emperor's brother. .”

"Uncle!"

Before Zheyu could speak, Fu Congjin suddenly turned around with a smile, and waved to the figure gradually walking down the steps, "Why is the emperor not returning home so late? Congsi is not here, so don't let him worry."

"Oh!" The old prince yelled from a distance, took out a pair of crystal mirrors from his pocket, put them on his face, and stared at them for a long time, "From age—!"

"I'm Congjin." Fu Congjin nodded with a smile, stepped forward to help the old prince up, "In the middle of the night, you still wear a pair of black mirrors, so you can't tell the way out even more."

Zhe Yu panicked, sweating, although the old prince always called the wrong name, but never called the name of the Supreme Emperor, but Fu Congjin didn't care, instead he asked with concern: "Did you go to see Congling?"

"Yes——!" The old prince was delirious, but he was calmer than ordinary people, and he admitted this taboo in the court without hesitation, "Congjin! Why does Congling live here!"

"Because he is the Supreme Emperor, the Emperor has grown up, and he doesn't want to stay in the palace." Fu Congjin helped the old prince into the sedan chair with a smile, "How is he? Is he much older?"

"Hahahahahaha, the Supreme Emperor——" the old prince sneezed deafeningly, "He has only been the crown prince for three years, but he has become the Supreme Emperor, so I should die too! You brothers, you will joke with the emperor!"

The old prince didn't know what year and month he was talking about, the conversation couldn't go on at all, even Zheyu sighed, the old prince yawned, and slowly took off his glasses, "It's dark at night, but Uncle Huang still knows the way, if you really go the wrong way, it will be bad!"

Several people walked in front of the soft sedan chair of the old prince, and the butler came over in small steps, ready to take the old prince from Fu Congjin. Fu Congjin waved his hand and continued to smile and said: "Uncle, Congjin is already the regent, even if the regent goes astray , future generations must remember it as the right way.”

The old prince took off his glasses, his eyes were cloudy, he just stared at Fu Congjin waving his hand, Fu Congjin followed suit, and he didn't put his hand down until he could no longer see.

"The old prince has been living in the past, but he is very happy." Zheyu approached with a lantern, "It's not like the Queen Lin in the palace who did something wrong and complained about the court. No wonder the emperor would rather let the maids serve than don't want to see her."

Fu Congjin suddenly put away his smile, "Is there such a thing?"

"Eunuch Xu sent the news from the palace. After you condemned Master Lin, Empress Lin and the emperor complained many times, but the emperor replied without seriousness. It is said that there is a maid named Wan Qing who told the emperor..."

"The emperor didn't give her a title to protect this girl." Fu Congjin stroked the white horse's mane, "Forget it, as long as there are no children, let them do it. After all, the children of slaves are born to be judged by others."

Zheyu suddenly remembered something, "By the way, my subordinates found out that the little prince seems to have gone to Mingzhou, is this possible?"

"Congsi has been very good since I was a child, I know it." Fu Congjin nodded and said: "The old Shouwang is still in the capital, I guess he will not act rashly, but he wants to pay attention to Ying Jueyun's every move. He will return to the court as soon as possible, and must not stay in the border area for too long."

In the early hours of the morning, the barracks was in full battle, the white horse galloped through the forest, the gate of the barracks opened, and everyone shouted, "The general is back!"

Jue Yun reined in the white horse, dismounted and pulled Pei Jiqing down, Wang Yue stepped forward to support his arm, and said in surprise: "The general is injured!"

"I almost died." Jue Yun dismounted with a smile, but from the corner of his eye he saw a person running towards him suddenly. Wang Yue blinked pointedly. King Huai's hair crown was not fastened, and his hair was messed up and ran out of the tent. Holding Jue Yun's hand tightly, he blinked and said in disbelief, "You're back?"

"My lord has been waiting for me!" Jue Yun pretended to be surprised, "It's the last general who has gone far away, making the lord worry, damn it! I just don't know, how did the lord know that the last general was attacked, could it be that he has been waiting...?"

The more respectful Jueyun was, the more uneasy King Huai became. He trembled there, unable to utter a single word. Pei Jiqing immediately said: "Master, His Highness King Huai waited for you all night, and even slept in this It’s a hot barracks, you should get rid of the bandits as soon as possible and help the prince.”

King Huai immediately answered in a cold sweat, "Young Master Rong said so."

"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness." Jue Yun glared at Pei Jiqing, "You are still here in a daze, hurry up and pack up your things, and plan to live with me in the palace. Go back and treat the prince to dinner."

Pei Jiqing retreated a few steps pretending to be timid, and King Huai rushed up to meet him, "General, you were injured just now, and you are going to enter the enemy camp in person, I am worried that you will not be able to bear it."

"The general is so brave, there is no need for the prince to worry." Pei Jiqing said with a smile: "You should go back to the palace and wait, and prepare a celebration banquet for the general."

"This sentence is sound." Jue Yun lowered his head and twisted Pei Jiqing's body, "Needless to say, my lord, the Regent personally mentioned the point, so you don't have to worry."

Sergeants from around ran over, put on the armor for Jueyun, and handed him a spear. Jueyun held it tightly in his hand, and stepped onto the white horse with one step. The cloak behind him was silvery white, as bright as a sharp edge under the scorching sun.

Wang Yue lowered her brows and walked to his horse, "King Huai cares about you very much. He just left and immediately came to see you. He wants to invite you to live in the palace. I wonder if there is any fraud here...? "

Jueyun bowed his head, smiled and said a few words, then rode his horse towards the army.

"My lord?"

Pei Jiqing had just entered the tent and changed clothes, still shaking a snow-white paper fan in his hand, Jue Yun's figure was no longer visible, but Huai Wang was still standing there blankly, he didn't even hear Pei Jiqing call him, at this moment The sun had already come out, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, and even his collar was stained with sweat.

"My lord! Why don't you go back to the house?" Pei Jiqing slapped his fan vigorously, "Don't worry, General Lang never knew that you were connected with bandits. But not much."

"You prevaricate for me? If Ling Jueyun catches the bandits, I'm still the same..." King Huai finally came to his senses and forced his composure to shake his sleeves. Nonsense! It looks like this king is a traitor, but I don't think he beat you hard enough!"

"He beat me hard, so the lord betrayed me. I'd better be more merciful to the lord. I asked Ling Jueyun to go after the bandits immediately. It definitely made sense." Pei Jiqing slapped his fan twice, smiling slightly. Er, "My lord doesn't want to hear it?"

King Huai hesitated for a moment, then turned around.

"My lord, go and order the bandits to fight first and then surrender. Don't let Ying Jueyun chase them down and kill them all." Pei Jiqing smiled, "For the rest, we need to find a secluded place..."

"Okay, okay." King Huai turned his head and looked at his fox-like face, "Young Master Rong, let's go back to the manor for a while."

Pei Jiqing entered Prince Huai's mansion for the second time, and the people around him looked at him very differently. Although they were still very disdainful, they didn't dare to discuss anything openly. King Huai led him into the study room, held a lamp and lit the wall The vase moved away, and in an instant, the snow-white wall turned like a screen, revealing a narrow passage.

There are many secret rooms in the palace, Pei Jiqing is not surprised at all, King Huai brought him into the secret room to discuss matters, but it showed a sense of solemnity.The secret room of Prince Huai's Mansion is huge, there are three or four large rooms inside, and some narrow and long wooden boxes are densely piled up. Pei Jiqing visually measured the size of those wooden boxes, and felt that they should be marching weapons such as knives and guns.

The room was very dark, and Pei Jiqing couldn't observe anything. Suddenly, a black figure appeared from the door. The man's footsteps were very light. Fu Congsi approached silently like a ghost. The mask was placed gently on the table.

"There are only the three of us here." King Huai put the lamp on the table, sat down with his clothes lifted up, stretched out his hand and said, "Young Master Rong, I'm already a wise person and don't do secret things, now you can talk about it."

"My lord, I also know that people don't speak dark words." Pei Jiqing didn't want to swear this sentence at first, but he said everyone who was going to rebel, so he didn't have any taboos to continue, "Although Ling Jueyun is in good spirits, He was indeed seriously injured. Although it was a little hasty for you to ask the bandits to ambush him, there is nothing wrong with it. Ling Jueyun has never suffered a defeat since he was a child. He was so excited that he would definitely go directly to seek revenge from the bandits. Are you stopping him? If you can’t help it, you might as well follow him.”

"Is that the reason?" King Huai was dumbfounded, "I've already told the bandits! Rong Luan, let me tell you, there are also prostitutes in Mingzhou. If you play me again, I'm sure I can find someone better than you." Send it to him, and then directly abolish you here!"

Fu Congsi reached out his hand to stop King Huai, frowned and said, "Sit down and talk."

"Thank you, little prince." Pei Jiqing rode the horse all night, his whole body was sore, so he had to sit down slowly while leaning on the wall, "Lan Jueyun was seriously injured, and he couldn't bear the fatigue of boats and cars, let alone marching and fighting. Taking the bandits will only make the bandits suffer even more. The message I asked the prince to send to the bandits is that the bandits will be exhausted first, and the sun is scorching. First exhaust the energy of Ling Jueyun. After the bandits surrender, Ling Jue Yun will have no reason to kill the prisoners, and those bandits will stay in his barracks, waiting for your order."

King Huai was taken aback for a moment, as if he hadn't thought of this, he looked at Fu Congsi tentatively, "This king just wants to get rid of Ling Jueyun, and doesn't really want to rebel..."

Pei Jiqing suddenly got straight to the point, "I heard that the prince has the Son of Heaven sword in his hand, why don't you turn it back?"

"I..." King Huai got up abruptly and took a step back, the thin light of the lamp also twisted and twisted with the air current, "You have known from...Ling Jueyun...that I have the Son of Heaven Sword...then Fu Congjin..."

King Huai's eyes swept towards Fu Congsi, and Fu Congsi's face was obviously troubled. Pei Jiqing already knew what he meant, and after a while, he said slowly: "The matter between the Emperor's Sword and the little prince, we It's just a little bit of news."

Pei Jiqing couldn't help smiling, this was what he was waiting for.

"When things come to an end, it's better to break the pot." Pei Jiqing lowered his voice, and his usual obscene smile became serious, "The little prince is a secret, and even Fu Congjin doesn't want too many people to know about it." You need people's will to raise an army. The prince only needs to use this banner to let others know that you are a nobleman, rescue your nephew, and be unparalleled in righteousness. The little prince is born of a concubine of a different race, so of course it is impossible to inherit the throne. As for the emperor's sword— —Will anyone dare to draw out your sword when you come to rule the world?"

For King Huai, the four words "Jun Lin Tian Tian" were far more tempting than avenging a son who had died long ago. He raised his eyes to Pei Jiqing, gritted his teeth and said, "If things come to pass, I will give you an official job." , return your Rong family's innocence."

"Thank you, Rong Luan, Your Majesty." Pei Jiqing reread the word "Your Majesty", and continued: "Ling Jueyun is young and energetic, and he can't stand the temptation. The prince wants to paralyze this person while arranging armor soldiers, and treat him Give me a signal after the arrangement is complete, and you can start to act."

"It's a deal." King Huai's timidity just dissipated, he got up from the chair and took a few steps, then turned around and scratched his head, muttering: "How do you look more and more pleasing to the eye? Is it possible to break sleeves like Ling Jueyun?"

Before Pei Jiqing could reply, King Huai hurriedly left the secret room, as if he wanted to hear about Jue Yun, Fu Rusi got up slightly and said, "I don't think you are paralyzing Ling Jue Yun, but you are paralyzing King Huai."

Although his words were not compliments, there was a smile on his face, which was completely different from the frosty face when he saw him. Since Pei Jiqing knew that he had always wanted to help the Empress Dowager, there were many people who were against this single-minded person. Some sense of sympathy.No matter what he thinks of himself, there are so many ghosts and monsters in the court, either thinking of clinging or usurping the throne, the old prince once held a heavy army, if Fu Congsi wanted to start a rebellion, he would probably have more prestige than King Huai, the old prince was fascinated In a daze, being able to go to Qingyun to have a look at the Supreme Emperor is probably Fu Congsi's hint that as long as this is done, the Supreme Emperor can return to the imperial city to meet his parents and children.

After looking forward to the future, Pei Jiqing suddenly sighed—it's a pity, the glory of innocence belongs to the Rong family, and she is already dead.

"To this day, I think what you said is quite right." Fu Congsi reached out and patted his shoulder, seemingly wanting to say something, but he seemed to be unable to utter anything other than courtesy, righteousness and shame.

Pei Jiqing decided to find him a step down: "Young Lord, don't feel sorry for me."

Fu Congsi took out something from the front of his shirt and handed it to him, "This is the best wound medicine, you can use it."
