Zhang Yan's choice is normal.

The current situation is actually that all forces are forming parties, and the Wenchen headed by Zhang Guowei represents the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and to put it more simply, the Donglin Party, although the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are not all Donglin Party, but basically they also use the Donglin Party as their spokesperson. Ma Shiying is a native of Guizhou, so when the Donglin Party scolded him, they all said that he was a fang, and he was wantonly smeared in the original history of the Hongguang Dynasty, because he represented this force......

In the original history, he and the nobles of Nanjing were also allied with a group.

But at that time, it was only the two groups of them fighting.

And now there's one more.

That is, the group of northerners who followed Chongzhen south, or the eunuchs as the Donglin Party people called.

Wang Chengen, a eunuch who controls the palace and a celebrant who controls the palace, Yang Qing, a commander who controls the Jinyi Guard and the assistant director of the Beizhen Fu Division, and Song Quan, who is the commander of the Beijing Battalion and has the rank of squire of the military department, these three people constitute the core of the Beichen group that moved south, and then add Li Yutian and other minions outside. This group is very strong because of Chongzhen, and many northerners who were originally in the south also defected to it, such as Lu Zhenfei in Huai'an and Gao Hongtu in the household department......

Shi Kefa is non-partisan.

He has been kicked out of the Donglin Party, but he is ashamed to join the eunuch party, so his life is very boring, but Chongzhen trusts him more and more, he resigned twice in a row and was rejected by Chongzhen, poor Shi Gebu was rejected once It was even more painful, and he is already very painful.

The current Ming court is the open and secret struggle of these three parties.

And the eunuch party is truly loyal to Chongzhen.

The Xungui Party may be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but they are not loyal to Chongzhen, they don't care about changing the emperor, as long as the emperor is still the old Zhu family, then they are still hereditary nobles who retire with the country, their bottom line is just that the Ming Dynasty will not fall, and it doesn't matter which emperor is. The Donglin Party is only loyal to themselves, they don't even care if the Ming Dynasty dies or not, what the emperor's surname is completely insignificant to them, as long as they still recognize the privileges of the gentry, not to mention that they don't have the surname Zhu, even if the surname is only Jin, Aixin Jueluo and the like are also insignificant.

And after Chongzhen's death, Zhang Yan, the women who were originally attached to Chongzhen, could only choose to join forces with the eunuchs, and only if the eunuchs did not fall, their status in the palace would not fall.

What would happen if King Fu succeeded to the throne?

It is said that King Fu is also in Nanjing, and then he will enter the palace as the queen mother, and then seal Zhang Yan as a queen mother of Yi'an, and Yuan Guifei as a concubine.

There's nothing to do with you outside your little courtyard.

If King Lu succeeds to the throne......

Then they are even more unlucky, they still have to call King Lu uncle! King Lu is their father-in-law's uncle and brother, King Lu's wife entered the palace as an aunt, Zhang Yan also had to salute when she saw it, and then the aunt just looked at them unpleasantly one day, and kicked them directly to the cold palace They also had to go over honestly. If they want to continue to ensure their status in the palace, they must let Chongzhen's son inherit the throne, because Chongzhen has never made Yuan Guifei the queen, Zhang Yan, as the only queen mother, is still the mother of the Ming Dynasty, even if Yuan Guifei still can't be crowned the queen mother, as the highest status among Chongzhen's women, she will also ensure her status second only to Zhang Yan.

Therefore, they must stand in the same camp as Yang Qing.

But......

They don't talk much.

Who cares about a queen mother who doesn't have any foreign aid at all in the court?

The queen mothers in history have the final say, because there are people behind them, even if Da Yu'er in the north can ensure her son's status with her wrists, the most important thing is not because she has the ability, but because there are Mongolian cavalry from the Horqin Department standing behind her, and there is a fart behind Zhang Yan!

"Queen Mother, it's about the community, how can it be child's play!"

Zhu Guobi said.

"Is it child's play for the crown prince to succeed to the throne?"

Zhang Yan said sharply.

"The Queen Mother, this is a court discussion by ministers and others, and the person who is discussing is the heir of the emperor, and the Queen Mother is the Empress Xizong, and her position is respected, so it is not appropriate to participate."

Zhu Guobi said.

"As a surviving member of the Zhu family, it is not appropriate for the old man to participate in the affairs of the Zhu family?"

Zhang Yan said angrily.

"Queen Mother, please go back to the palace, I have no Queen Mother in politics for three hundred years!"

Zhu Guobi said very strongly.

"How can I talk to the Queen Mother!"

Yang Qing immediately scolded angrily, and without hesitation, stepped forward and slapped Zhu Guobi in the face, the latter was caught off guard, and immediately let out a scream with the sound of the slap, and then was pulled by the power and fell in a circle, and immediately spit out a mouthful of blood and two teeth on the ground, lying there and rolling in pain, because the incident happened suddenly, no one expected Yang Qing to come like this, and for a while all the princes and ministers looked at Zhu Guobi on the ground in amazement.

"The Queen Mother is Empress Xizong, the throne of Emperor Daxing is inherited from Emperor Xizong, if it is not limited by seniority, the Queen Mother is like the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager has the right to make decisions on the matter of the Ming Dynasty, who dares to say more!"

Yang Qing shouted.

Zhu Guobi at his feet screamed miserably.

"Loyal and brave uncle wants to commit murder in the hall?"

Xincheng Bo Zhao Zhilong rebuked indignantly.

Obviously, these lords are not very accustomed to Yang Qing's style, mainly because they generally do not participate in court politics very much, and they only have the opportunity to jump out at this special time, so they have dealt with Yang Qing very few times, and they have not directly experienced Yang Qing's murderous scenes. These guys claim to be on the same vacation with the country, but in fact they are just decorations, holding the titles of a bunch of governors of the Nanjing Five Armies, which are theoretically equivalent to the supreme commanders of the Ming army, but in fact, the number of troops they can mobilize can be said to be almost zero. Originally, in history, they took the opportunity of supporting Hongguang to succeed to the throne to obtain some benefits, such as Zhu Guobi turned his Funing Marquis back to the Baoguo Duke of the ancestor Zhu Yong......

Zhu Yong's Baoguo Gong only inherited one generation.

His grandson automatically retreated to the Marquis of Funing.

But this time it was Chongzhen who went south, so they naturally didn't have the merit of supporting it, and Chongzhen only used those who came south with him, and the civil officials didn't want these overwhelmed guys to get up again, and in the end they were still a group of pure decorations, and basically had no chance to participate in military and political affairs.

Their previous relationship with Yang Qing was limited to drinking wine or something, but the loyal and brave uncle who had a lot of meat and goods on the wine table was obviously very different from the loyal and brave uncle who tore people apart if he didn't agree with him.

After all, they still don't know enough about Uncle Zhongyong.

On the contrary, people such as Zhang Guowei and others, who often deal with Yang Qing, are very honest at the moment, they know very well how much risk they have to take to stimulate Yang Qing in person, it is better not to do this without Guan Zhang Zhiyong, it is obvious that Zhao Zhilong does not have Guan Zhang Zhiyong, so Gu Xichou also lowered his head with a rather gloating gaze, waiting for Zhao Zhilong to be unlucky next.

He soon got his wish.

"What? Uncle Xin Cheng also wants to be disrespectful to the Queen Mother? ”

Yang Qing said.

"Uncle Zhongyong will be framed, Funing Hou is just saying the truth, how can I have a queen mother in the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty?"

Zhao Zhilong sneered.

The will to promote Yang Qing to marquis has not yet been issued, Wang Chengen's whole person is about to collapse in the past few days, how can he remember this kind of trivial matter, that is, he just remembered to tell Yang Qing, but he didn't care about this before he solved the power struggle.

Yang Qing glanced at him with disdain.

Immediately after that, he glanced around all the princes and ministers in the Wuying Palace.

"I Yang Qing was promoted by Emperor Daxing, by the grace of Emperor Daxing, and Emperor Daxing from birth to death, it can be said that everything in my Yang Qing was given by Emperor Daxing, and Emperor Daxing also said on his deathbed that Princess Kunxing would marry me, so my Yang Qing's life is also Emperor Daxing's. I will not allow the Daxing Emperor's rivers and mountains to fall into the hands of others, the only one who inherits the throne is the crown prince, no matter where the prince is, he is the new monarch of the Ming Dynasty, and anyone else who tries to steal the Daxing Emperor's rivers and mountains is my Yang Qing's enemy, my words are finished, who is in favor and who is against? ”

He said.

In fact, at this time, he was pretending to pass on the edict, saying that Chongzhen was okay to let the prince succeed to the throne, anyway, he was the only one next to Chongzhen at that time, and others didn't know what Chongzhen told him, and he liked to make it up how he liked. But in that case, it's not fun, don't say this kind of thing, it's just verbal, it's Chongzhen's handwritten jade seal, these guys don't admit it, it can still be said that His Majesty the Emperor had a brain twitch before he died, and everyone can ignore it if they are chaotic or something.

Edict?

Someone listens to the edict.

If no one listens, it's a mess!

However, a trivial matter like Princess Kunxing will be accepted because it is insignificant.

"Yang Qing, who knows if what you said about Emperor Daxing's last words is true or false!"

Zhao Zhilong sneered.

"Xin Chengbo wants to know the truth of his last words?"

Yang Qing took a step forward and said gloomily.

Zhao Zhilong looked at him proudly.

Suddenly, Yang Qing raised his foot and whipped his leg out, and with a faint whistle of breaking the air, it instantly slammed into Zhao Zhilong's chest.

He didn't just teach Zhu Guobi a lesson.

At this point, he's playing for real.

The foot that was still wearing combat boots was like a slapstick that suddenly fell, and Zhao Zhilong's chest suddenly sunk in, and then flew out upside down under the impact of that huge force, and only let out a scream in mid-air, and then with the blood line pulled out by the wild spray of blood, it flew directly out of nearly ten meters before hitting a pillar hard, and was bounced outward for nearly two meters, before falling on his stomach like a dead dog and falling to the ground.

"Then you can ask Emperor Daxing yourself!"

Yang Qing sneered.

There was an instant silence in the entire hall......
