The starry sky at the end of the moon was dark and deep, and the sky was like a pitch-black curtain, on which countless stars hung and twinkled, as if to tell the story they saw.

Suddenly, a meteor pierced the silence, leaving a beautiful figure in the night sky, and then disappeared at the edge of the curtain.

It was already midnight, and Ren Hongfei was sitting alone at the round table, on which there were two pairs of chopsticks, two wine glasses, and a pot of residual wine.

A black shadow flashed in, and Ren Hongfei, who had been waiting for a long time, asked, "Han Qing, how is it?" ”

Ye Hanqing walked to the table and sat down, took a sip of the wine glass, and replied, "Yang Lian, they have already snatched Zhu Youxiao to the Wenhua Palace. ”

Ren Hongfei nodded, the two were silent for a long time, Ye Hanqing hesitated: "Just now I hid on the roof opposite the warm pavilion, and thought about it for a while, if we can't go back, it's better to be at peace with what we encounter, after all, this place is much easier to mix than in our time." ”

Ren Hongfei was not surprised, he knew Ye Hanqing's temper and personality very well, and said lightly: "Then are you going to give up your biological parents?" How much did they pay for you? What did you give them in return? ”

Ye Hanqing said: "Isn't there no way to go back, besides, my current father and mother are also very good to me." ”

Ren Hongfei stretched out his hand and picked up the wine glass in front of him, drank it slowly, and said softly after a while: "Whatever you want, but I won't give up, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will persevere." ”

Ye Hanqing took out a cigarette and lit it, smoking it wordlessly, he also regretted what he said just now, because he might be able to live peacefully in this world, but what about Ren Hongfei?!

According to the development of history, more than 20 years later, Ren Hongfei will ruin the country and his family, and he will hang himself on the tree of Wansui Mountain.

After smoking a cigarette, Ye Hanqing raised his head, looked at Ren Hongfei's lonely face in the candlelight, stretched out a hand and raised it in front of him and said: "Hongfei, no matter when it comes, I will always follow you, no matter what you do, I will always support you, brother!" ”

Ren Hongfei looked at Ye Hanqing with a sincere face, his eyes gradually shone brightly, Ren Hongfei also stretched out his hand to hold Ye Hanqing tightly, and said in a deep voice: "Brother! ”

Lan'er, who had already slept in the back room, walked out and said softly, "It's almost dawn, Xiaofei, you can sleep for a while." ”

Ye Hanqing said goodbye and left, and Ren Hongfei also walked into the room tiredly.

When Ren Hongfei woke up, it was close to noon, he hastily ate something to satisfy his stomach, and then went out and slowly walked to the Renshou Palace, where Zhu Changluo's body had been carried and put into the coffin.

Walking into the Renshou Palace, Zhu Changluo's coffin and his father Wanli's two huge coffins are far away, the two white giant candles have burned half, and only a few eunuchs in the hall are taking care of it.

Ren Hongfei walked to Zhu Changluo's coffin and stared quietly, neither the pleasure of the enemy's death, nor the sadness of the death of his relatives, just endless confusion and loneliness.

Ren Hongfei neither knelt nor sat in front of the coffin, but just stood there in a daze, as if he was wandering out of the world.

Until there was a commotion in the distance, Ren Hongfei frowned and ordered a eunuch to investigate.

The eunuch came back and said: "The five princes of Qiqi are Sun Ruyou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Zhou Jiamo, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Zhang Wenda, the imperial history of Zuodu, Liu Yijing, a scholar of Dongge University, Yang Lian and others who are asking Li Xuanzhi to move out of the Qianqing Palace. ”

Ren Hongfei nodded and asked, "What about the result?" ”

The eunuch replied: "At first, Li Xuanzhi refused, and then the ministers forced each other to die, and finally Li Xuanzhi reluctantly agreed and was packing up his things. ”

Ren Hongfei said: "Well, where did you move to?" ”

The eunuch replied, "Giluan Palace." ”

At that time, the Luan Palace was a place for the concubines to retire, Ren Hongfei nodded and did not ask again, Li Xuanzhi has been the same as Zheng Guifei, and has withdrawn from this deceitful competition game forever.

Five days later, on the sixth day of September in 1620, the auspicious day of the zodiac, Zhu Youxiao of Ming Xizong officially ascended the throne in the Qianqing Palace, and the year name was Apocalypse.

Immediately, Zhu Youxiao began to take office as the new emperor, and promoted the group of Donglin Party officials who helped him ascend the throne and drive away Li Xuanzhi.

Zhao Nanxing, a member of the Donglin Party, made a comeback after retiring for more than 20 years and served as the secretary of the ministry.

Donglin Party member Gao Panlong, Ren Guanglucheng. Later, he was promoted to Guanglu Shaoqing.

Zou Yuanbiao, a member of the Donglin Party, served as the secretary of Dali Temple, and later served as the right attendant of the Criminal Department, and the left capital of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Sun Shenxing, a member of the Donglin Party, was promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Zuo Guangdou, a member of the Donglin Party, was promoted to Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and a year later, he was promoted to the Imperial History of Zuo Yushi of the Metropolitan Inspection Academy.

And the most contributed is Yang Lian, it is said that in just a few days tired his hair is half white, so he was immediately promoted to the military department to give the matter, a year later, Ren Taichang Shaoqing, in the same year, promoted to the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace, and then appointed as the left deputy Imperial History, within a year, he changed from a sesame official from the seventh grade to a ministerial-level official from the second grade.

The left capital of the imperial history, the left deputy capital of the imperial history, the Ministry of Shangshu, the criminal department of the Lang, Dali Temple and so on, etc., these powers all fell into the hands of the Donglin Party, the Donglin Party was extremely powerful for a while, and the people were ying!

As for Zhu Changluo's wet nurse and old lover Ke Yinyue, on the tenth day of his accession to the throne, he was named "Mrs. Fengsheng".

And Ren Hongfei was named the king of letters in the second year, and lived in the Qingong Palace of Ciqing Palace, Ren Hongfei sighed slightly, but he didn't expect to be busy for a year and return to the starting point.

Zhu Youxiao asked the East Li Elector to take care of Ren Hongfei, Zhu Changluo has two Electors surnamed Li, in order to distinguish them, they are called East Li Electors and West Li Electors, although the West Li Electors Li Yuechan is ruthless and vicious, but the East Li Electors are benevolent and kind, so they handed over their younger brother to her, and Zhu Youxiao was very relieved.

Moreover, Dongli Xuanzhi rarely asks about Ren Hongfei's private affairs, as long as it is not too much, it is basically due to Ren Hongfei's temperament, which makes Ren Hongfei have a great impression of her.

Wei Zhongxian Wei Gonggong can be described as ambitious this year, Zhu Youxiao just ascended the throne, so he asked Ke Yinyue to blow the pillow wind, and asked Zhu Youxiao to dismiss his old rival Wei Dynasty from his post and send him to the Wei Dynasty, and he sent someone to assassinate the Wei Dynasty on the way to the Wei Dynasty.

As for Wang An, Wei Zhongxian continued to attack with the bed of Ke Yinyue, and Wang An was demoted and thrown to Nanhaizi, also known as Haizili, which was the royal hunting ground of the Ming Dynasty, with palaces, official offices, and temples, and sent personnel to manage them.

And Liu Chao, the governor of Nanhaizi, was Wei Zhongxian's minion, and after receiving the order, he wanted to starve Wang An to death, who knew that Wang An had not died after starving for three days, Liu Chao was impatient to wait, and directly asked someone to kill Wang An, and reported that Wang An died accidentally while working.

Wei Zhongxian finally served as the coveted eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi and the eunuch of the commander of Dongchang, which can be said to be in the hands of the civil and military power, and the eunuch who served as the eunuch of the celebrant seal is his henchman Wang Tiqian, and the dark age that belongs to him has finally come!
