"Who?" Zheng Shicheng was very vigilant, and opened his eyes almost the moment Sheng Ze stood in front of his bed.

Sheng Ze raised his hand and removed the half-cut bronze mask on the ground on his face, "Lord Zheng, don't come to harm." ”

"You are?" Zheng Shicheng got up quietly and looked at Sheng Ze with sharp eyes.

Sheng Ze took a step back, letting the faint candle flame in the tent shine on his face.

Zheng Shicheng finally saw his face clearly, and his eyes widened, "You...... Too, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?! ”

"Don't panic, my lord, this palace did not die in that fire." Sheng Ze said lightly.

Zheng Shicheng looked at him with a complicated gaze, so much so that he forgot to ask why he was here at this time.

Emperor Jin Cheng only got his eldest son in middle age, and he was made the crown prince as soon as he was born.

But the little prince's birth was born, and his body bones were not very good, in order to let him live well, Emperor Jin Cheng and the first queen reluctantly sent him to Xuanji Mountain, and followed a hermit master to learn art and forge his body.

At the beginning, the prince would return to the palace every year, live in the palace for two or three months, and study court politics with Emperor Jin Cheng.

After the prince was ten years old, there was less and less time to come back. But at least every three years, they will still live in the palace for a period of time.

If Emperor Jin Cheng had only one of his sons, there seemed to be nothing wrong with such a life, but unfortunately, before the birth of the crown prince, Emperor Jin Cheng also had an eldest son.

Emperor Jin Cheng had two sons and three daughters in his life, which was considered a thin heir for the emperors of previous dynasties.

In view of the prince's situation, there are many "shrewd" ministers in the court, and when the prince did not appear, he had already reached some kind of tacit understanding in private.

When the imperial prince was a supporter of the prince with a clear banner, a group of civil and military generals led by him were mainly devoted to the prince; The other faction took the head of the Yasukuni Gongma and secretly supported the eldest prince Sheng Zhan.

The Zheng family has always been a pure minister, that is, the so-called neutral faction, no one supports anyone, and whoever sits on the throne will support whomever they want.

Before tonight, Zheng Shicheng still had regrets in his heart, what Sheng Zhan did after he ascended the throne made people feel that he was not suitable to sit in this position, did the Zheng family really want to be loyal to such a person?

Now that Sheng Ze took the initiative to come to the door, Zheng Shicheng faintly guessed.

"I wonder why His Highness visited the office late at night?" Zheng Shicheng stabilized his mind and asked.

Sheng Ze did not beat around the bush, "Lord Zheng is a talent of the country, if he dies in the civil strife of the Great Jin, it is a pity, and please go to northern Hubei Province, he will not let Lord Zheng's talent be buried in any battle." ”

Zheng Shicheng's eyes seemed to have a flash of light, but thinking of the Zheng family's training, he still opened his mouth to refuse, "Thank you Your Highness for your love, but the Weichen family has been loyal to the emperor for generations, if you leave at this time, it will be a defection, and there will be a lot of infamy in the history books, please forgive your Highness." ”

"Lord Zheng's words are wrong," Sheng Ze raised his eyebrows slightly, "What does it mean for me to appear here, I believe that Lord Zheng has already guessed, as the humerus minister of the Great Jin, are you sure you want to be loyal to such a disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous person?" ”

Zheng Shicheng was shocked, and his breathing was a little shorter, "But ......"

"Son, you're confused!"

At this moment, Zheng Shicheng's familiar voice suddenly came from the door of the camp, he suddenly raised his eyes and said in astonishment: "Mother? You, how do you ......"

"Why did I give birth to such a dead brain of you?" Old Madam Zheng hated that iron could not be made of steel and stepped forward a few steps, "What's the situation now, what do you still want to do?" If you really want to be a pure minister, it must be the right position of the one on the dragon chair, so that it is worth our Zheng family to give up everything! ”
