Zhu Youzhen sat in the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace for most of the day, and he didn't even eat lunch, and the eunuchs and eunuchs were all gathered outside the door, and no one dared to knock on the door to enter.

The stalemate until the evening, Empress Zhou Yufeng and Yuan Guifei came to the Qianqing Palace together, trying to persuade Zhu Youjian to come out and participate in the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the evening, but Zhu Youjian did not open the door at all, and the two had to go away in ashes, Zhou Yufeng returned to Kunning Palace to accompany Zhu Youjian on a hunger strike, and Yuan Guifei returned to Yikun Palace, also secretly sulking.

Seeing that Queen Zhou Yufeng twisted her waist and left, Wang Chengen, the celebrant of ceremonies, suddenly realized in her heart, and hurriedly called the little eunuch Zhang Yin, whispered a few words, Zhang Yin nodded busily, and left the Qianqing Palace quickly.

Wang Chengen waited for more than half an hour in anxiety before he heard a slight footstep outside the door, and his face couldn't help but be happy, and he said secretly: I'm afraid that only Empress Yi'an can comfort the emperor......

Hearing the footsteps getting closer and closer, Wang Chengen hurriedly greeted him, saw Zhang Yang, and was about to bow down, but was pulled by Zhang Yan, "At this moment, the prince doesn't need to be polite, hey, why don't you light the lamp......"

Wang Chengen smiled bitterly, but he didn't answer, Zhang Yan has always been smart and wise, and immediately understood that it must be that the East Nuan Pavilion was not lit, so Wang Chengen and they didn't dare to light the lamp.

Zhang Yan took advantage of the lights from outside the palace, glanced at Wang Chengen, and whispered: "When did the emperor enter the Dongnuan Pavilion?" Has there been no movement? ”

"The emperor got the message that Li Zicheng was proclaimed emperor in Xi'an, and after entering the Dongnuan Pavilion, the door has been closed," Wang Chengen also said carefully: "The slave called the door several times, and the emperor was angry...... Empress Zhou and Concubine Yuan Guifei came just now, and the emperor didn't open the door......"

Zhang Yan frowned lightly, didn't dare to move for a while, thought for a moment, and said, "Father-in-law, go and knock on the door, and say that you are mourning...... The mourning family sent Chinese New Year's Eve rice ...... to the emperor"

"Minions know!" Wang Chengen bowed and saluted, then turned around, went to the Dongnuan Pavilion, knocked lightly on the door, there was no movement in the door, so he had to add strength to his fingers, knocked three times, and said: "Your Majesty, Queen Yi'an sent Chinese New Year's Eve ...... rice."

"Empress Yi'an?" Zhu Youzhen turned his neck slightly, and shouted towards the door: "You minions, why did you alarm Empress Yi'an? ”

Empress Yi'an said...... It's Chinese New Year's Eve night, so ...... So I want to have a meal with the emperor......"

Zhu Youzhen sighed lightly, but sat still, and after a while, he slowly got up, pulled the latch, opened the door, and saw that there was only Wang Chengen in front of the door, and said angrily: "You, a slave, like outsiders, dare to deceive me, where is Queen Yi'an?" With a cold snort, he turned around and drew his sword.

Wang Chengen suddenly cried with a sad face, "Your Majesty, Empress Yi'an is really here......" coughed, Zhang Yan hurriedly trotted over, "Your Majesty ......"

Zhu Youzhen heard Zhang Yan's voice, so he stopped, turned around to look at the petite figure, and his anger disappeared little by little.

Zhang Yan forced a smile, "Why didn't the emperor light the lamp?" Is it a New Year's ......?"

Wang Chengen saw that Zhu Youzhen had no objection, so he hurriedly lit the lamp and candle with a fire fold, and added a few pieces of charcoal to the charcoal brazier, and then took the door out.

Zhu Youzhen's face was very cold, and his face was gloomy until Wang Chengen went out, and then he said coldly: "Yan'er came to see my joke?" ”

"Emperor, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, let's not say these discouraged words," Zhang Yan helped Zhu Youjian and asked him to sit back on the dragon chair, and he also sat opposite Zhu Youjian, "Emperor, listen, the sound of firecrackers outside the palace is that the people are celebrating Chinese New Year's Eve, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new!" ”

"These people ......" Zhu Youzhen said angrily: "The country has come to this, but they still want to be drunk and dream of death......"

"Your Majesty, they are just ordinary people, they just want to live a good life," Zhang Yan's lips moved, her eyebrows and eyes smiled, and she was like a blooming red lotus, "Your Majesty, the little ones, are there still few things that covet the Ming Dynasty?" In the end, the world is not Ming? Maybe after today, there will be news of victory coming from the past......"

"Yan'er, this is a forgiving heart," Zhu Youchang sighed and said leisurely: "Since the rise of the Liukou, there has not been much good news in the world!" ”

"Maybe this is the normal life of the emperor!" Zhang Yan wanted to comfort Zhu Youzhen for a few words, but she couldn't find the right words for a while, her nose was sore, she almost burst into tears, she hurriedly got up, came to the back wall window, and looked out, her eyes were full of pink walls, and she couldn't see anything else.

Zhu Youjian got up and came behind Zhang Yan, stopped her thin waist from back to front with both hands, and said leisurely: "Maybe this is the life of an emperor, Yan'er is right, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, let's not talk about those unhappy things, just like Yan'er, wearing this red and festive short coat tonight, it will be more comfortable to watch!" ”

Zhang Yan wanted to push Zhu Youzhen away, but she couldn't bear it, and she sat suffocated for most of the day, and finally gained a little energy...... She sighed secretly, and her little hand seemed to be on Zhu Youzhen's big hand, "Yes, the emperor is right, after today, all the problems will be talked about tomorrow, the emperor, do you want to pass the meal, let the queen come over ......"

"I don't need them, I want to be quiet tonight," Zhu Youzhen rubbed Zhang Yan's little hand, "Let's just go to the meal today, Yan'er!" ”

Zhang Yan was stunned for a while, knowing Zhu Youzhen's thoughts, she couldn't refuse, so she had to get out of Zhu Youzhen's arms and walk quickly to the door, knowing that Wang Chengen must be waiting outside the door, so she said to the door: "Princess, go and pass the meal!" ”

"The villain understands, the villain will go, dinner will come soon!" Wang Chengen heard that the emperor was finally willing to eat, and his face was full of joy, or Empress Yi'an...... He trotted and said to the little eunuchs: "Quick, pass the imperial meal!" ”

Zhang Yan accompanied Zhu Youzhen to use it perfectly, knowing that she couldn't go back tonight, so she simply let Zhu Youzhen go.

After Zhu Youzhen perfected it, he seemed to have regained his strength and worked Zhang Yan's belly.

However, Zhu Youzhen seems to have forgotten that when Zhang Yan was pregnant before, she was plotted by Fengsheng's wife Ke Yinyue and Wei Zhongxian, resulting in a miscarriage and infertility, no matter how hard he tried, Zhang Yan could not conceive a child......

Maybe Zhu Youzhen doesn't need Zhang Yan to conceive a child, he is an emperor, and he only likes this kind of tiger power!

Zhang Yan turned to Huan, until Zhu Youzhen lay on her chest from exhaustion, and then let out a long breath, "The emperor is still ...... of sperm and tigers."

Li Zicheng tilted to the side and said faintly: "Only in Yan'er's body, I can feel it...... Yan'er, Li Zicheng is the emperor in Xi'an, and he will definitely attack Jingshi next, I am so worried! ”

"The emperor doesn't have to worry," Zhang Yan stroked Zhu Youzhen's chest with her little hand, and leaned her head against Zhu Youzhen's body, looking like a bird, "Didn't the Tartar break through the customs several times and enter the Jingshi realm?" Isn't it a return in the end? ”

"This time is different," Zhu Youzhen sighed softly, "After all, the Tartars are foreigners, and if they rob some property and population, they will inevitably withdraw from Guanwai, and Li Zicheng ...... Li Zicheng has already instigated a lot of people, and if he orders the army to come to Beijing one day, I am afraid that he will ......"

Zhang Yan can't, after all, she is a woman living in the palace, she can't control the general trend of the country, although she is very anxious in her heart, she still comforts Zhu Youzhen in her mouth, "Your Majesty, Li Zicheng is the emperor in Xi'an, and the capital is separated from Shanxi, and the emperor wants to mobilize heavy troops to garrison ......Shanxi as soon as possible."

"Datong and Shanxi military towns already have heavy troops from the imperial court," Li Zicheng looked lonely, but fortunately Zhang Yan couldn't see it, "However, can these heavy soldiers resist the Mandate of Heaven army......"

Zhang Yan was silent for a long time, and the imperial court heavily recruited and suppressed the Mandate of Heaven army, and suffered countless defeats, supervising Ding Qirui, Hou Sui, Wang Qiaonian, Fu Zonglong, and Sun Chuanting...... One by one, the soldiers were defeated and died, could it be that the Heavenly Mandate Army was the nemesis of the imperial court?

She trembled unconsciously in her heart, and in order not to show it physically, she pressed her body tightly against Zhu Youzhen's body, was silent for a long time, and said: "Your Majesty, if you don't retreat to Nanjing, temporarily avoid the edge of the Heavenly Mandate Army......"

"Retreat to Nanjing?" Zhu Youzhen stopped all his movements, thought for a long time, and said: "The ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, 'The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies', do I want to be the one who is greedy for death and afraid of life, waiting for future generations to laugh and scold?" ”

Zhang Yan said gently: "Your Majesty, at this time and that time, Yongle Ye was ...... back then I'm afraid I didn't expect ......."

Zhu Youzhen was silent for a moment and said, "I am willing to move south, but the ministers of the court are ...... Especially those who speak ......"

Zhang Yanyan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you don't need to bring this matter up in person, let the ministers say it!" ”

"Ministers?"

"The concubine heard that Li Mingrui has always been in the middle of the Zhan Mansion, and there has always been a talk of moving south," Zhang Yan was in a slightly calm mood, and said with a smile in Zhu Youzhen's arms: "The emperor may wish to summon Li Mingrui and ask him ......"

Zhu Youzhen was overjoyed, stroked Zhang Yan's smooth body for a moment, and said: "It's still Yan'er's wisdom, she can always come up with a way for me, I don't know how to thank Yan'er for ......"

"The concubines and the emperor are all members of the Ming royal family, what do you say to thank you?" Zhang Yan was tickled by Zhu Youzhen's touch, and hurriedly grabbed Zhu Youzhen's big hand, and said: "Ming'er is Xinyuan, it is the day for the emperor to worship his ancestors, and tomorrow the emperor will simply go to the imperial tomb to worship!" ”

"Yan'er is saying that tomorrow I will go to Longhu Mountain to worship the Twelve Tombs?" Zhu Youzhen immediately came over, "worship the twelve tombs and announce the ...... ancestors"

"After announcing the ancestors, then summon Li Mingrui," Zhang Yan said leisurely: "I hope Li Mingrui can understand the emperor's thoughts!" ”

Zhu Youzhen thought for a moment, suddenly grabbed Zhang Yan's hands, and rubbed them gently, "Yan'er, I know how to be grateful to you!" ”

"What?"

"Yan'er is on my dragon bed, and in just a few words, she has set a big plan for the country and solved the dilemma of the Heavenly Mandate Army," Li Zicheng's face finally showed a smile, faintly, gently, "I am grateful to Yan'er, naturally on the dragon bed, come and ......"

"The emperor's ......" Zhang Yan wanted to struggle, and she already felt a big mountain pressing against her body, but she didn't feel that her whole body was sore, her limbs were weak, and she couldn't escape......
