Wang An didn't know how to appease the new emperor in front of him. Such a question was too harsh. Although he was a sensible eunuch and had experienced a lot over the years, he really didn't know what to say about such a big matter.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Emperor Tianqi said to Wang An: "Get out! Take the people here away. No one is allowed to come in without my permission." At this time, Emperor Tianqi experienced for the first time what it means to be alone.

"Yes, Your Majesty." He bowed respectfully, and then walked out slowly.

History of the Ming Dynasty, Chronicles of the Apocalypse.

On the first day of September in 1620 AD, Emperor Taichang died. Emperor Li Xuan wanted to take over power. Emperor Tianqi, who was only sixteen years old, was elected by minister Yang Lian and others and ascended the throne in Wenhua Hall. That night, Emperor Tianqi Yu Qian The Qing Palace recounted the past emperor's mistakes, weeping in pain and looking like a madman. Before that, Emperor Tianqi issued an order to cleanse the palace. The newly crowned emperor used killing and blood to declare his authority on the first day.

Three days have passed. At this time, Emperor Tianqi is sitting on the huge dragon chair in Qianqing Palace. During these three days, the emperor has been staying in Cining Palace to accompany his nominal mother. The Empress Dowager was naturally very happy. It was a great blessing that she could get the position of Empress Dowager. At this time, the Emperor was still so filial, which was a great relief to this woman who had preserved her experience in court struggles.

In these three days, a lot of things happened. Three people were put under house arrest by Tianqi, and countless people were killed. The originally dilapidated Forbidden City was now filled with the smell of blood, and the sound of ghosts crying and howling wolves could even be heard at midnight. This What was originally an ancient forbidden city now looks more like a ghost town.

The three people placed under house arrest by Emperor Tianqi were Li Xuanshi, Concubine Zheng, and Prince Fu Zhu Changxun. This Prince of Fortune Zhu Changxun was the son of Concubine Zheng, and his son was Zhu Yousong, the later Hongguang Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty. Regarding these three people, Emperor Tianqi knew that he would not care about them. , those ministers don’t know how, and the eunuchs even less know how.

"How did you go with the thing you were asked to do?" Emperor Tianqi said lightly after glancing at Wei Chao who was kneeling on the ground. In fact, he already knew about the matter from Wang An, so asking Wei Chao at this time was just a formality. That's all.

Although Emperor Tianqi spoke in a calm voice, Wei Chao knew that the master in front of him was not an easy one to serve. He still remembered the emperor's expression of enjoyment when he asked about the smell of blood. He even doubted that the emperor would He doesn’t like drinking human blood. It’s no wonder that the Wei Dynasty thought so. You must know that these emperors of the Ming Dynasty all had various hobbies. Jiajing liked to make elixirs, and Zhengde liked to watch tigers and leopards eating people. As for Lustfulness is just a small hobby.

Just as Wei Chao was about to speak, a crisp voice came from outside the hall.

"Brother Emperor, what are you doing?" Just as Emperor Tianqi lowered his head in thought, a girl jumped in and ran in. The girl was not old, only a teenager, pure and lively. She was also dressed very well. Luxurious, with a jade phoenix on her head looking up to the sky, a long yellow skirt on her body, a Xiapei on her shoulders, and fine soft-soled leather boots on her feet.

Emperor Tianqi felt dizzy when he saw someone coming. This girl is his sister, the daughter of the current Empress Dowager, Zhu Wanjun, who has just been canonized as Princess Hepu. This Princess Hepu is twelve years old this year, and she is thirteen years old. Although she is older Not big, but quite a ghost.

For three days, the little princess liked being with Emperor Apocalypse very much. Who makes Emperor Apocalypse like to tell stories? Prince Charming! It belongs to Snow White. The little princess was naturally attracted, but Emperor Apocalypse was

It's so annoying, and I really regret it. The Queen Mother is happy to see the relationship between her daughter and Emperor Tianqi. Every time she sees Emperor Tianqi's helpless look, the Queen Mother feels great comfort in her heart.

.After so many years, I never thought that I would still be living today, living such a wonderful and interesting life.

After gently touching his forehead, Emperor Tianqi immediately put on a smile and said happily, "It turns out to be Hepu! Why do you want to see your brother at this time?"

"Brother, the princess is so boring!" She smiled brightly, and the princess did not salute Emperor Tianqi. She picked up her skirt and ran behind the Long Bookcase, shaking Emperor Tianqi's shoulders vigorously.

In his previous life, Emperor Tianqi was an orphan. There were very few days like this, no matter what he did, he was alone. He never thought that after coming to this world, he would have such a lovely sister. Naturally, he loved her so much.

It’s too late!

"Imperial sister, the emperor has to deal with national affairs, how can he have time to play with you!" He gently held Princess Hepu in his arms and said with a smile even though he had a headache.

"I don't care, brother, I'm so bored!" The girl seemed to enjoy her brother's care, twisting her body and acting coquettishly.

After pondering for a moment, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "Let's do it! How about I find you a playmate?"

After tilting her head and thinking for a while, the girl shook her head violently and gritted her teeth and said: "Brother is lying. Mother and Queen used to say the same thing. Every time they come, they are either eunuchs or maids. It's so boring."

"That's it! Brother, how about I promise you that this time it will definitely not be eunuchs or maids?" This little girl is quite difficult to deal with, but Emperor Tianqi has already had a candidate in mind.

"Who is it?" The girl's attention was immediately attracted and she quickly asked.

"Our younger brother Zhu Youjian, can you really let him come and play with you?" This Zhu Youjian is the five-year-old brother of Emperor Tianqi, who later became the emperor of Chongzhen. Now Zhu Youjian is served by Li Xuanshi of the East Palace.

Zhu Youxiao was raised by Zhu Youjian's mother, a maid, who gave birth to Zhu Youxiao because of Emperor Taichang's one-night affair.

At that time, Li Xuanshi of the West Palace was afraid that this woman would shake his position, so he planned to have Emperor Taichang kill her with a stick. At that time, Zhu Youjian was just five years old. (Note: It was the Li Xuanshi in front. Emperor Taichang had two Li Xuanshis, respectively.

They were Li Xuanshi in the West Palace and Li Xuanshi in the East Palace. They raised the two sons of Emperor Taichang respectively. Li Xuanshi in the West Palace raised Emperor Tianqi Zhu Youxiao, and Li Xuanshi in the East Palace raised Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian.)

"You're talking about him! He's so boring that I won't even let him call me sister." The girl's mouth twitched, obviously very dissatisfied.

"Brother Emperor has to go to court, so be it! You go find him, and after Brother Emperor leaves the court, can he play with you?" Emperor Tianqi gently touched the girl's head and said softly.

After tilting her head and thinking for a while, the girl nodded gently and said seriously: "Okay then! Brother Huang must keep his word."

"Of course. Is the emperor the emperor? Of course he means what he says." Emperor Tianqi quickly assured.

Seeing the girl jumping away, Emperor Tianqi wiped the sweat from his forehead, but his eyes were full of relief and sweetness.
