On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Bai Xianyun, one of the thirty-six gods of the White Lotus Sect, and Xing Na, one of the eight guardians, were in Xiaohe Township outside Guiyang City. They used the method of opening the altar to spread Laba porridge, and then led their troops to attack Guiyang City. The traitor in the city responded and opened the city gate. The next day, Guiyang City was broken.

Bai Xianyun led his troops to plunder the city, burning countless good houses and buildings, and Guiyang City fell into ruins. The news came out, and the world was shocked.

"Have the Ming Dynasty really reached its end?" Zhang Yan sat alone in the empty hall, her voice low, echoing throughout the hall, exhausted.

Empress Zhou was dressed in plain clothes and wearing a wooden hairpin, looking simple and pure, like a colorful plum blossom, embellished with ease. She walked into the empty hall and said softly: "Sister-in-law, there is no burning ground dragon in this hall, and the sky is cold, so it's better to leave here earlier."

Zhang Yan raised her head, and her pretty face cried so hard that she was filled with pear blossoms. She did not hide her fragility at all. She cried sadly and heartbreakingly. She was just a weak woman. When wandering among various forces, she would be tired and sad. Lotus came out of clear water, and naturally decorated, and her beauty did not need any decoration.

She is weak and can attract the attention of the world, but unfortunately this beauty is hidden in the deep palace and has no chance to recognize.

"Empress, the Ai family is so tired, can you let the Ai family rest?"

The two women were in their prime, quiet in the deep palace, and were tightly shrunk by the layers of alert and palace gate, leaving them unable to see a trace of dawn and warmth, and could only support them. Queen Zhou came from the sadness, endured her discomfort, and her voice choked, but she tried her best to make herself strong.

The lotus steps moved gently and came slowly. He hugged Zhang Yan and sat down gently. He patted Zhang Yan's back and comforted him, "Sister-in-law, cry! My sister cannot share the major issues for you, but my sister has a shoulder that allows us to rely on each other. After crying, she has to act well for the people below to see."

One person is willing to be scolded by the world, and what he wants is nothing but a place to settle down, while the other person is willing to give up everything. Fighting is not a fight, and not a fight is a fight. Only if you don’t fight, no one in the world can fight with it. One palace has two strange descendants.

After crying, Zhang Yan became stronger again. At this moment, she looked even more firm: "Where did Your Majesty go? Why is there no news? Even Wang Chengen, a slave, was like a mud cow, and there was no sound."

"Cao Huachun has been sending people to inquire about the news, without any reason, but this just shows the problem. With the power of the Jinyiwei Dongchang among the people, why is there no news? Could it be that Your Majesty is really a true dragon and can fly to the sky?" Queen Zhou's voice was low, and her words were a bit rebellious, which also showed the anger in her heart at this time.

Zhang Yan sighed with a slight sigh: "Empress, do you think the thief in red..."

"Taizu's Red Turban Army started its business and swept the world with the red flag." Queen Zhou's voice was very soft, just like a whisper.

"You must not mention this in front of outsiders." Zhang Yan quickly stopped and changed the topic: "If there are wars everywhere and the devastated country is revealed today, the Ai family will find it difficult to support it. It is better to let the prince succeed to the throne."

Queen Zhou looked at Zhang Yan with a bright look. As the saying goes, the country cannot be without a king for a day. Zhu Youjian has been missing for so long, and the news has leaked out long ago. If it weren't for the support of the 12th Regiment Battalion in the city, rumors would have been flying all over the sky long ago. If this title was not decided early, things might have changed!

"Is it because of the Red Army?" Empress Zhou sighed quietly. She didn't know that once the throne was settled, if Zhu Youjian came back, the matter would probably be upside down!

Zhang Yan's eyes were deep, and her words were like a dream. "If he strives to open up another way for the Ming Dynasty, then the Ai family will help him."

Looking at Zhang Yan's thin back, Queen Zhou's eyes became more determined and said in a deep voice: "The prince will recognize the queen as his mother, and will definitely be filial to the queen in the future."

Whether inside or outside the palace, we don’t know how much of a shocking thing these two women will do after they make up their minds. The bloody storm that caused the entire capital to smell a bloody smell.

After Laba, on the Lantern Festival on the 15th, the peasant army broke through Fengyang City, surrounded the officials stationed here, killed Fengyang Governor Ma Shiying, destroyed and burned the undestroyed imperial tombs of the Red Army and the ancestral tombs of the Zhu family. This time, the Ming court shocked, and Zhongdu Fengyang City was broken for the second time.

It was like slapping the court again. The first time was luck, and the second time was completely a sign of the stupidity of the Ming court. Various voices of ridicule the court were heard everywhere.

When the news reached the capital, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian learned the news from his sickbed, and was furious and scolded the incompetent Governor Fengyang and the governor, and then vomited blood and died.

"The emperor has passed away." A shrill howl, as bad as a duck's voice, but as soon as this sound came out, all the palace maids and eunuchs changed their faces, and they knelt on the ground and cried bitterly in panic.

The great Han generals guarding the palace gate changed their faces one by one, and they were very frightened. Emperor Chongzhen ruled the world for seven years and cared for the people close to him. He never said he could kill him. At this moment, he suddenly heard the bad news and felt that the sky suddenly collapsed.

When news of the death of the emperor in the palace came out, the capital was mourning, and many scholars and people went out to the streets to cry and tell each other.

At this time, Zhu Gan, who was paying attention to the world news at any time, also learned about this. Compared to the Peasant Army and the Lantern Festival, when it was almost the same as history, Zhu Gan was paying more attention to the death of Chongzhen. He was so strangely killed that he felt very uncomfortable!

"Your Majesty, the Queen and the others are struggling to support each other in the palace, and there is nothing they can do about it." Wang Chengen comforted softly. Obviously, the calm Zhu Gan at this time was even more unsightly, but it can be imagined that he must have been furious in his heart at this time.

But Zhu Gan smiled slightly, as if he had let go of a burden in his heart, making his people look more relaxed. Zhu Gan laughed happily and said, "Okay! I can't go back anymore. Without this thought, I feel relaxed. Only by letting go of the burden can I focus more on doing things. Since they have done it, I will take this opportunity to take over the land of Bashu."

Compared to the sudden power of the Red Army, which captured several cities in Sichuan, the power was unstoppable. The official army fled to the wind and headed straight to Chengdu Prefecture. At this time, the troops were already at the city.

No matter how the Red Army stirred up the wind and rain in Sichuan, how big the waves it produced, the Ming court did not succeed to the throne, and the emperor was extremely mourned.

The prince naturally inherited the throne from the governor and sat on the throne of the emperor, but the prince was young after all, and still had two queens regents.

After choosing a day, the emperor's burial time was getting closer and closer. Although the throne had been settled, there were more rumors everywhere in the city. Some said that the two empresses plotted to kill the emperor on the sickbed in order to seize power, and the emperor had died long ago, but they were just a secret mourning. However, the emperor's body was moldy and smelly. There were many people in the palace, and they could not hide their movements after all, so they had to find an excuse to say that the emperor vomited blood and died.

As for the reason, there were too many eunuchs who served the emperor in the palace, and they were sent out of the emperor's bedroom a long time ago, and the emperor had not attended court for half a year. Even some of the imperial physicians in the palace could not tell what strange disease the emperor had, and they looked like they were taboo.

The palace was changing, and the Donglin Party outside the court, who were unwilling to fail, began to become active, plotting how to drive Queen Yi'an down and let someone they could easily control to the stage.

"Do you know how high the risk of doing this is? It may be said that this is a serious crime of raiding the house and destroying ancestors. If it is true, no one in the court can stop it."

"But if this matter is feasible, once Zhang Yan's crime is revealed, it will be kept in history and will be remembered by future generations!"

"This risky strategy is absolutely not allowed. If you want to make a decision, it is urgent to rob the prince and not fall into the hands of Zhang Yan and other thieves."

"But this requires someone to answer the palace! Those eunuchs are not now in the Wanli Apocalypse period. These eunuchs in the court are not very much in their hands when they get close to us!"

Suddenly, a light cough sounded outside the yard, and everyone in the room who were quietly discussing matters raised their ears vigilantly, and a familiar voice heard: "Everyone! Why don't you open the door quickly?"

I saw a figure wearing a black cloak outside the door, covering my whole body. In the darkness, a familiar face appeared and everyone saluted in surprise. However, this person was Qian Qianyi, who was unemployed at home. Now that such a major event has happened in the court, the leader of the Donglin Party could not sit still and ran to the capital.

After some discussion, everyone made a general plan.
