Queen is the top

The remnants of Jiang Sheng's army were subdued by the troops led by Yuan Qingcheng. After discussing with He Jingyi, Cheng Yingzong divided these people into the four armies under their jurisdiction, and appointed Yuan Qingcheng to concurrently serve as the general of Hussars.

As for the original North Hebei General, Cheng Yingzong specially appointed Xie Wenjie, the grandson of the queen's aunt who also made great military achievements, the nephew of Yuan Qingcheng and the general.

However, Jiang's family and the rebels were all dealt with according to the law. Cheng Yingzong concealed the real cause of Concubine Hui's death, only saying that she committed suicide in fear of crime, and was demoted to common people and could not enter the imperial mausoleum. Jiang Shilang and other important generals who participated in the rebellion All crimes should be executed, and the relatives of important prisoners were degraded into slaves and exiled to the frontiers according to the law.

Cheng Yingzong did not implicate the nine clans, but only committed crimes against the three clans, and he did not kill them all. Severe punishment can deter people, but it is not enough to convince them. This kind of benevolent and generous treatment made the officials admire and appreciate it.

Immediately afterwards, Cheng Yingzong rewarded the generals and courtiers who had made great contributions to the suppression of the chaos. Most of the people in He Jingyi's forces were promoted one by one. In the end, even Shi Daoran was promoted to an official rank. The status of the mother's family of the crown prince and concubine made the world more aware of the emperor's love for the crown prince.

The case of Concubine Hui's treason was completely over, and Changping has returned to its former peace and tranquility.

However, the pursuit of King Qi and the extermination of the Zijin Sect have not stopped. Cheng Yingzong and He Jingyi will not give up easily if He Yuanji survives for a day. Regardless of the end of the world, the two vowed to catch him in front of the tomb of the Holy Crown Prince. Use his blood to pay homage to the dead crown prince.

This was Cheng Yingzong's and He Jingyi's deepest heart disease, and they were looking forward to the day when it would be eradicated as soon as possible.

In the early morning of the day, Cheng Yingzong summoned He Jingyi to the Ganlu Hall in Shoukang Palace to discuss important matters, while Shi Yuqing went to visit Shi Qiao Huang and the pregnant queen who he had been thinking about all along.

Because of Shi Qiaohuang's habitual practice of martial arts, his body is in good shape, and he can get out of bed and walk around after a few days of recuperation, which reassures Shi Yuqing and the queen, especially He Mingfeng, who is too lazy to manage the government. Seeing that Cheng Yingzong did not refuse, he took a few days off work, but he went to Shoukang Palace from his prince's mansion every day. One was to greet Cheng Yingzong and the queen, and the other was to go to Visit teacher Qiao Huang.

Although He Mingfeng still felt guilty, didn't talk much, and rarely showed a smile, Cheng Yingzong and the queen were naturally very happy to see him every day.

The queen even saw that he cared more about Shi Qiao Huang than usual. Seeing Shi Qiao Huang and He Mingfeng together, he smiled a lot, and seeing Shi Qiao Huang using it like a general She looked like a daughter-in-law.

Shi Qiaohuang was always smart, and soon noticed it. She was very shy, and her heart was not consciously shaken by this man who cared for her, and she looked forward to the time when the two of them met every day.

He Mingfeng didn't say anything, and Shi Qiaohuang didn't say much, and the two maintained an increasingly ambiguous relationship like this.

Shi Yuqing had already noticed the growing intimacy between Shi Qiaohuang and He Mingfeng. Seeing that his sister had someone he liked, he was both happy and worried.

The joy is naturally because she sincerely hopes that her sister will be happy, and the worry is because she doesn't understand He Mingfeng's character, and she is afraid that he will hurt Shi Qiaohuang.

But Shi Qiaohuang's calmness and rationality convinced Shi Yuqing to relax his guard against He Mingfeng a little bit, and tried to let Shi Qiaohuang handle his feelings well by himself, showing up to support her when she needed him most.

Shi Yuqing was brought back to Zichen Palace by He Jingyi from the queen. After the two finished their lunch, He Jingyi walked out of the palace door and stood on the corridor looking at the clear sky in a daze. Shi Yuqing keenly felt that he was a little gloomy. Thoughts, but he understood He Jingyi's temperament very well, if he didn't mention it, he wouldn't say much.

As the weather was getting cooler in late autumn, Shi Yuqing took out an ink-colored dragon pattern brocade cloak from the room, and gently put it on for him, so as not to be caught by the cold autumn wind.

He Jingyi was used to practicing martial arts, and his body was full of true energy. The temperature had little effect on him, but even so, the warmth of the cloak warmed his gloomy heart.

He held the hand that had put on the cloak for him, and turned to hold it in his own hand. He felt that the hand that was as warm and smooth as jade was slightly cold, and he couldn't help frowning. Taking out the moon-white brocade cloak that Shi Yuqing used to wear, she nodded in satisfaction, reached out to take it, and put it on for Shi Yuqing.

He Jingyi stretched out his hand to help him fasten the collar of his cloak, eyes drooping, he took Shi Yuqing's hand and walked down the steps a few steps forward.

Seeing He Jingyi waving his hands, Yun Donghai, Lu Fu and the others didn't follow up knowingly, and still stood at the entrance of the hall.

The garden was full of fragrant herbs, and the colorful and colorful perennial flowers were in full bloom. He Jingyi took Shi Yuqing's hand and walked slowly in the courtyard.

Shi Yuqing saw that although his eyes were on the bright yellow flowers, his thoughts had already drifted away, so he reached out to support his arm, sending him his own warmth.

"I heard from my mother today that every autumn, my mother will go to the Jiuqu Palace in the south of Xiyuan. There is a maple garden, which is full of maple trees. Every autumn, the garden is full of maple leaves, and it is full of beautiful red. It's my mother's favorite color." He Jingyi paused, his eyes were full of longing for his biological mother, whom he never even remembered, "I just found out that she likes red, maple leaves, and autumn, so For many years, I didn't know."

Shi Yuqing heard the guilt in his words, looked at him distressedly, and said softly, "It's not Jingyi's fault."

He Jingyi shook his head slightly, and took a deep breath of the pain in his heart, "She tried her best to protect me, but I don't know anything, the queen mother said, she is a woman with a chivalrous heart, kind, brave, and a great achievement." The most beautiful woman, she was originally the princess of the vassal king, she first took a fancy to my father and asked my grandfather to propose marriage for her, my grandfather doted on her very much, so he had the cheek to ask the emperor, and this good relationship came about. "

When He Jingyi said this, his lips slightly raised into a smile, and Shi Yuqing saw the corners of his mouth unconsciously moving with him, and smiled too.

"The queen mother said that I look very much like my mother, and my facial features are almost the same as hers." He Jingyi lowered his eyes as he said, "I seem to see her with my own eyes, to see if it's true."

Hearing this, Shi Yuqing's heart was tightened in an instant, he looked at the deep sorrow between his brows, thought about it distressedly, and said softly, "Jingyi, why don't we go to Fengyuan for a walk today? "

He Jingyi was stunned, Shi Yuqing's proposal touched his heart, he happened to want to go there, walk the place where his mother had stepped, to search, to feel the traces of her that had long since disappeared.

He nodded, seeing the worry in Shi Yuqing's eyes, panicked, and quickly stretched his brows to reassure him, and smiled slightly, "Okay."

He Jingyi and Shi Yuqing drove their horses to the maple garden of Jiuqu Palace, a large expanse of fiery trees came into sight, and the lush red maple trees all over the garden fell with the wind like a goddess scattering flowers, covering the earth and dyeing the sky red.

The two got off their horses and let the two horses, Hei Xiao and Bai Lu, graze on the grass beside the Ye Shui Pond in the garden.

He Jingyi held Shi Yuqing's hand and walked leisurely in the forest on a wide stone road. The fresh breath in nature made people feel refreshed and happy. Shi Yuqing had never seen such a beauty for a long time, so he couldn't help taking a few deep breaths. Enjoy this beautiful piece of calm.

"This place is really beautiful, no wonder Empress Jingren loves it so much." Shi Yuqing praised.

He Jingyi looked deeply at Hongfeng around him, remembering that his mother used to walk on this road like this, he couldn't help feeling a little excited in his heart, he nodded, and sighed in agreement, "It's very beautiful."

Seeing that his expression has eased a lot, Shi Yuqing felt relieved, shook his hand intertwined with his fingers, and wanted to continue watching.

"Mr. Lan."

Shi Yuqing was admiring the flaming red maple leaves that danced and danced in the wind like a butterfly, and when she heard his voice, she turned her gaze back to his face and listened carefully to his words.

"Father and I discussed something today." He Jingyi looked forward leisurely, although he was expressionless, Shi Yuqing easily noticed his troubles.

"What did the father say?" Shi Yuqing asked with concern.

He Jingyi stopped, turned to look at Shi Yuqing sideways, lowered his eyes, and said, "Father will pass the throne to me on the day of my coming-of-age ceremony."

Shi Yuqing raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Isn't Jingyi's coming-of-age ceremony two months away? Father is in the prime of his life, is he going to pass the throne to Jingyi so soon?!"

He Jingyi sighed and nodded, "Father, Queen Mother, Grandpa and some princes and ministers have already discussed this matter. It can be seen that he has thought about it for a long time."

"What does Jing Yi think?" Shi Yuqing stared at him tightly with bright eyes and asked.

"I have been raised by my father as a prince since I was a child. He has cared for me and cultivated me carefully. Sometimes I can feel that he is not only because of my father, but also because he wants to get rid of this throne as soon as possible." He Jingyi raised his head slightly. At the beginning, looking at the clear blue sky, he said sadly, "Father has told me many times that he doesn't like to be emperor. He has worked so hard to deal with the ruins left by the Three Kings' Rebellion for so many years and recuperate. The peace of the year was maintained by my father, and all he did was for me to successfully inherit the great power. Now the Jiang family's heart is at peace. It just so happens that the mother is pregnant, and my father has always felt that I am indebted to my mother and third brother, so I want to pass it on to me, to accompany my mother and seventh brother well, and take care of them for the rest of my life."

Shi Yuqing nodded, Chengyingzong's hard work is known to everyone in the court. Jiang Sheng has been entrenched in the north for many years and has been threatening Chengyingzong's throne. It is really not easy for him to work so hard to maintain a peaceful and prosperous world.

He held He Jingyi's hand gently without saying a word, and listened carefully to what was on his mind.

In this world, only Shi Yuqing knows that He Jingyi is not as indestructible as outsiders see, he also has a fragile side, although it is subtle, although it is deeply hidden by him, but after all, the occasional troubles and depression can't be shaken away .

No one could comprehend that heavy heart in the old years, and no one could understand it, so he has been silently bearing it until it is hidden in the deepest part of his heart, pretending to dissipate, and building his increasingly powerful but ruthless heart Heart.

And Shi Yuqing is like a clear spring in his heart, always keenly aware of any of his emotions, whether happy or sad, and then washes away the gloom in his heart, and is like a deep-rooted explanation in his heart Flowers can always use the most appropriate words and actions to soothe his heart and heal the pain of his soul.

For He Jingyi, Shi Yuqing is his air, he lives on it and cannot lose it.

That's why he possesses and controls him so much. Fortunately, Shi Yuqing understands and understands everything.

This is the great fortune of his life, so he does his best to protect this luck and happiness.

He Jingyi looked down at Shi Yuqing, stretched out his hand to stroke his cheek, and said what was on his mind, "I don't know if I want to be an emperor or not. Since I was young, I inherited my father's behest and wish of my father, became an emperor and established a prosperous foundation. It was deeply imprinted in my mind, and I never thought about whether I really wanted to be an emperor or had to be an emperor."

"As a child of the royal family, my heart is naturally attached to the world. It has always been my ideal to create a prosperous age in the era of Emperor Taizong, but when I was about to touch the throne, I hesitated. Maybe I just never thought about whether I was There will be another life."

Seeing the confusion in his eyes, Shi Yuqing stretched out her hand to hold his hand touching her cheek, and said softly, "Jingyi, no matter what you do, I will be by your side, support you, and protect you. I hope Jingyi will live up to me The life you want, if you are an emperor, I will do my best to help you build a foundation; if you are an ordinary person, I am willing to guard you for the rest of your life and live an ordinary life. What I want is Jingyi's happiness."

He Jingyi's eyelashes moved slightly, and he looked at his pleasant eyes like a pool of autumn water, which were full of sincerity and affection.

Back then, Shi Yuqing, who wanted to gain fame and make contributions to the imperial court, had a grand ideal, but now she is willing to give up everything for him. How can He Jingyi not be touched by such affection, how can he not put everything on his heart... Cherish and guard.

He held Shi Yuqing's face, as if treating the most precious treasure, bowed his head and kissed gently.

The autumn wind blows away all the brilliance, and in a fiery red maple leaf forest, there is a pair of Bi people. The two souls are melted and melted by the heat of the heart, and they become one, strong and unrestrained.

After the kiss was over, He Jingyi looked deeply into his eyes, still refusing to let go of his arms around his waist, as if he had made a major decision, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "With Mr. Lan here, I will do anything will be happy."

Seeing his unfurled brows, Shi Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief, nodded with a smile, and heard him say again, "I have become an emperor, and I want to create the most prosperous era of Dacheng, and Lord Lan will complete this task with me. "

These words touched Shi Yuqing's passionate heart, he nodded solemnly, and said seriously, "I will definitely assist Jingyi with all my strength to fulfill Jingyi's and my ideal."

He Jingyi nodded, touched his forehead lightly, his eyes tightly entangled with his gaze, the joy that surged from the deepest part of his heart touched the smile on his mouth, and he thought freely in his heart: In this world, this ideal, I and You do it together, my little gentleman.
