In the Forbidden City, Empress Zhang, who has just passed her forties. In just a few months, after experiencing the pain of losing a husband and a child. The originally delicate face was already haggard. The long black hair, which was well maintained, also appeared with strands of silver hair.

Empress Zhang, who had a haggard face, looked at the three loyal ministers in front of her, Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, and Yang Pu, who were still loyal to Emperor Hongxi Zhu Gaochi. He asked sadly, "The three Qing families, haven't you found the head of the prince yet?" ”

Not being able to die a whole corpse is a great taboo for ordinary people. What's more, it's a nobleman? Since ancient times, only those kings who have died have had such a sad end. As a mother, how could Empress Zhang bear to watch her son be buried?

Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, and Yang Pu glanced at each other, and could only kneel down again to plead guilty.

"The queen mother atoned for her sins, and the ministers were incompetent. The head of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not yet been found.." Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, and Yang Pu said in unison.

Empress Zhang's eyes were filled with tears, and she choked up, "The head of the prince has not been found, and the murderer of the prince has not been found?" ”

Now the Han King Zhu Gaoxu and the Zhao King Zhu Gaosui have accused each other of being the murderers of the prince. It evolved into a battle for the throne. The war spread to five provinces, including Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Shaanxi, and Huguang. Needless to say, this murderer of the crown prince. It's either Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, or Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao.

Although now Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui have already been inseparable. However, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Suisui did not attack the capital very tacitly.

They all wanted to eliminate the only opponent first, and then enter the capital as the winner. At that time, Empress Zhang was a woman and faced a vassal king with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. Still don't obediently make an edict?

How could Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, and Yang Pu, who were full of wealth, guess the plans of Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, and Zhu Sui, the king of Zhao?

Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, and Yang Pu are not without thinking. Support the crown prince Zhu Zhanji's infant child Zhu Qizhen to succeed to the throne, or choose one from the other bloodlines of the former emperor Zhu Gaochi to inherit the throne. But if this happens, I am afraid that the situation will be even worse.

How can an emperor who has no military power in his hands sit firmly? I can't say, as long as Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, and Yang Pu are three, once a new monarch is established. I'm afraid that the inseparable Han King Zhu Gaoxu and the Zhao King Zhu Suisui will join forces to attack the capital. And Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, and Yang Pu will definitely be charged with murdering the prince. When the time comes, don't say that Empress Zhang, a woman, will not be spared. is in a hurry, Zhu Suisui and Zhu Gaoxu are likely to kill all the bloodlines left by the first emperor.

After all, such things are just ordinary in the Heavenly Family. Not to mention, Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di. Invaded Nanjing and ascended the throne as emperor. The blood left by Zhu Yunwen. Wasn't he imprisoned and finally died in the palace? For the dragon chair that represents the supremacy, for thousands of years. Fathers kill sons, brothers kill brothers, etc. Constant repetition is played out in each dynasty.

Looking at Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, and Yang Pu, who bowed their heads and were silent, Empress Zhang, who looked haggard, smiled bitterly and said, "Hey.. The mourning family is a woman's family and doesn't understand any national affairs. But the coffin of the first emperor. has been placed in those seven months for more than . . . The mourning family doesn't care when the king of Han and the king of Zhao will divide the winner. The mourning of the first emperor cannot be dragged on.."

At this moment, Liu Bo, the governor of Dongchang, and Xue Kun, the commander of Jinyiwei, hurriedly walked into Empress Zhang's bedroom.

"Mother.. The old slave has to be repaid.." Liu Bo, the governor of Dongchang, said urgently.

Empress Zhang, who had a sad face, hurriedly asked, "But the crown prince's head has been found?" ”

Liu Bo, the governor of Dongchang, was stunned and shook his head helplessly, "The queen mother atons for her sins, and the old slave is still mobilizing all the people in Dongchang to search. I haven't found it for a while. ”

Empress Zhang, who was disappointed again, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Numbly said, "What else is more important than finding the prince's head?" Let's say, I don't know what other major events are falling in the Ming Dynasty, which I can't afford as a woman? ”

"Back to Niangniang, Guizhou's 'Anshun Wait' Chen Tianqi has an army of 500,000 troops in seven provinces, including Guizhou, Sichuan, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, and Yunnan. Playing the banner of entering the king of Jingqin.. Now the soldiers have arrived in Jiangnan.." Liu Bo said in a deep voice.

Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, and Yang Pu, who looked helpless, were all stunned. Originally, in the eyes of the three of them, they could die in the first emperor. In this situation, when the crown prince Zhu Zhanji was killed. In the end, he was able to add a yellow robe to ascend to the Ninety-Five. Either the Han King Zhu Gaoxu or the Zhao King Zhu Sui.

These two were both vassal kings with great military exploits when Emperor Chengzu's 'Battle of Jingyan'. At that time, there were countless old departments, and they were the blood of Emperor Chengzu's closest relatives. In just a few months, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, has occupied the land of Shandong and Shanxi provinces. Gather an army of 100,000. And that Zhao Wang Zhu Sui is even worse. It occupies the land of Henan, Huguang and Shaanxi provinces. 150,000 soldiers and horses under his command.

But at this moment, a 'An Shun Waiting' Chen Tianqi suddenly appeared. It can monopolize the seven provinces of Guizhou, Sichuan, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, and Yunnan. Gather 500,000 soldiers and horses. How can this not frighten Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Yang Pu and other three capable ministers?

Empress Zhang, who heard Liu Bo's report, was also stunned, thought about it and said, "'Anshun waits' Chen Tianqi? But the hereditary Guizhou 'An Shun Hou' canonized by Emperor Chengzu back then? The mourning family also heard the first emperor mention that Chen Tianqi, the 'Anshun wait' in Guizhou, was the heir born to a Miao girl when Emperor Cheng went down to Jiangnan in his early years. Because of its maternal status. did not enter the harem. With his mother's surname Chen. Awarded the title of 'Anshun Wait' hereditary replacement.."

As a eunuch who followed Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di for decades. Liu Bo naturally understands Chen Tianqi's identity best. sighed, nodded and said, "It's this 'An Shun Wait' Chen Tianqi... When Emperor Chengzu was still the King of Yan, the old slave went to Jiangnan with him. That 'An Shun Hou' is indeed the bloodline of the Heavenly Family."

A feeling that the building was about to topple down suddenly made Empress Zhang collapse on the soft chair. At this time, another slogan of 'King Qin' appeared. And can quietly gather the princes of the soldiers of the seven provinces. Even if it is Queen Zhang, a woman. You can guess it too. Once this Chen Tianqi invaded Nanjing. It's definitely Cao Cao, Wang Mang and the like.

With Chen Tianqi shouting the slogan of 'entering the king of Beijing', more than 20 years. The 'Anshun Wait' Mansion that has been lurking in the darkness and is unknown. It is in the eyes of the world.

Sitting on the daily business of 'getting drunk' brought Chen Tianqi wealth that rivaled the country's wealth. Not to mention over the years. Under the cover of the 'Drunken House', the white fox of Thirty-six Days. It has already infiltrated the power into all walks of life in the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, when Chen Tianqi shouted the slogan of 'King Qin', the 'Anshun Hou' Mansion was like a body clinging to the body of the Ming Dynasty. Like a beast that has been sucking blood for many years. Exposed fangs that make the world fearful.

Armed with 80,000 sets of armor, swords and guns secretly sent by 'Xiaoyaozhuang'. After dominating the rivers and lakes, the Sun and Moon Divine Cult was transformed. Raise an army of 80,000. Dongfang Qian, the Holy Maiden of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, is the only disciple of Dongfang Undefeated, the number one master in the world. became the master of this army.

Thirty-six Tiangang White Fox still uses the old method. Mobilize the shadows lurking in Sichuan, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, and Yunnan provinces. With the cooperation of the seventy-two bloody wolves, all of them were quietly replaced.

The officials of a province were replaced by the men and horses of the thirty-six Tiangang White Fox. The rest of the officials, lieutenants, lieutenants, and adjutant generals. Which one hasn't benefited from the 'Easy Drunken House'? As for the small number of people who were unwilling to respond to 'An Shun Wait' Chen Tianqi, they all died inexplicably and mysteriously.

For a time, Sichuan, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Yunnan and other six provinces, who dares not to obey?

The 80,000 army of the Sun Moon Divine Sect led by Dongfang Qian secretly cooperated with the seventy-two bloody wolves and the thirty-six Tiangang white foxes. All the way from the southwest Miaojiang troops, along the way like a bamboo. In just half a month, the army led by Dongfang Qian. Bing Feng was about to arrive in Nanjing.
