Chapter Seventy-Four: Inheriting the Suzerain

Princess Zhaoren stayed in the White Lotus Temple for a few more days, and by the way, she went to a nearby village to preach and practice medicine. Everywhere I went, I attracted the villagers to flock around, one is to pay homage to the living Bodhisattva, the other is to seek medical advice, of course, there are also good men and women, sincere to the Buddha, and converted to the White Lotus Sect.

One day, Princess Zhaoren was still in the countryside to gather people's hearts for the free clinic for her fellow villagers, and suddenly there was an urgent report: the sect master Li Ziye had arrived in the main place. There is something important to discuss!

"Why not deploy in advance? Could it be that there is a major event? Princess Zhaoren thought silently in her heart, but she didn't dare to slack off, and quickly ended the medical work in her hand and rushed to the main land.

Three hours later, Princess Zhaoren and several cronies hurried to the main land, Nanzhuanggou, in the hinterland of Hongmiao Mountain in Yuxian County.

Hongmiao Mountain is in a superior location, guarding the main road leading to Taiyuan in Zhili, the mountain is steep, it is suitable to attack and defend!

In the mountain col on the north side of Nanzhuang ditch, an incense fire flourishes Maitreya Buddhist Temple, the temple is large-scale, it is a big temple in the middle of Taihang Mountain in the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty, and it has become an important stronghold of the White Lotus Sect.

Princess Zhaoren arrived in a hurry, and she hurriedly entered through the back door of the temple and went straight to the side hall. At this time, Li Ziye, Chang Chanzi, and Changli have been waiting for a long time.

The sturdy footsteps disturbed Li Ziye, who was meditating and participating in meditation.

"It must be the princess who is married, and the two of them will be decided quickly." Li Ziye greeted Chang Chanzi and them. The two slowly got rid of their stiff bodies, and their figures gradually relaxed.

"Sect Master, I don't know that the Sect Master has arrived, and I will miss it."

"A radius of 100 miles to preach, Princess Zhaoren is the power of my White Lotus Sect. I should be the one who is ashamed. ”

"Sect Master, reputation, a matter of duty." Princess Zhaoren bowed her head and said.

"The princess doesn't need to be modest, the White Lotus Sect has had such an achievement since the Tang Dynasty, except for the King of Daming, she is the princess, and she came today, not for anything else, just to promote the princess to lead my holy religion to carry forward, if you can spare power, drive out the Tartars, and restore China!" Li Ziye said seriously.

"Sect Master, I can't help it, I'm a weak woman who may not be able to take on a heavy responsibility, so I am allowed to preach and practice medicine to do something for the people nearby, fortunately!" Princess Zhaoren hurriedly excused herself.

"Hey, princess, she is the master of my holy sect that is rare for a thousand years, this is not a lesson for the sect master alone, all the protectors of the Dharma have this intention, and please princess not hesitate to benefit the people of Maitreya!" Chang Cicada, who was standing on the side, didn't wait for Li Ziye to speak, and spoke first.

"As the cicada said, this is not to discuss with the princess, but to inform in advance, the day after tomorrow is September 19th, when the day is occupied, all the lords and protectors gather here, Fuguang Maitreya Temple, for the new Zongcheng ceremony!" Li Ziye added.

The princess here really didn't want to be the sect master, and when she saw her put away her skirt, she knelt down and said, "Why didn't the sect master discuss such a big matter with me first?" I don't have any heart to achieve a great cause, the power is in me, evil is like three dirt, I hope the sect master will be fulfilled! ”

"I'm afraid the times are no longer up to you, of course, this is largely due to you!" Changli was unhurried.

"By me?" Princess Akihito asked.

"Do you know that the dog officer Chartay has been secretly investigating you?" It's just that Nai Yu has no substantive charges and has not been investigated, but the identity of the princess and the destiny of the white lotus will be exposed sooner or later. In addition, the princess's prestige is growing, and the current sect master's son is tired, and he has the heart to become my holy sect, and I hope that the princess will take pity on my sect and save her life! Changli said.

"I'm ......, the sect master will let me...... Think about it! Zhaoren began to hesitate, a compassionate woman has a desire for power, but from then on, she embarked on a path of involuntary self-determination, from compassion to tyranny, from purity to chaos, and finally ended up in death.

said yes, Princess Zhaoren said goodbye to the sect master, withdrew from the side hall, and entered her own dormitory. At this time, she was a little excited and a little confused......

On March 18, 1644, Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, had led his troops to be stationed outside the palace and shot a book to persuade him to surrender!

In the deep palace, when it was a cold night, the drizzle was mixed with snowflakes, and the little residual lights were swaying weakly, just like the rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty, almost extinguished. At this time, the tall pavilion lost its majesty, but it was full of depression.

A group of people who exuded a trance-Zhu Youzhen rushed all the way from the Huangji Hall into the dormitory, but he couldn't see the deacon's eunuch alone. The country is dying, but he can't let go of the harem children, **Zhaoren is especially great!

In the Zhaoren Palace, a mother and daughter have already slept. The palace maid guarding the door saw the emperor coming and was about to salute, but was stopped by Zhu Youzhen and did not stop, but slowed down her pace, lightened her pace, and gently pushed the palace door, for fear of disturbing the sleeping people.

After a week, he did not fall asleep, and before Zhu Youzhen entered the bedroom, he had already reconciled his clothes, turned on the lamp, and got up to greet him.

"Your Majesty, concubines ......" Before Zhou finished speaking, Zhu Youzhen signaled quietly.

Zhu Youzhen still did not stay, and when he came to the window of Princess Zhaoren, he saw that the little girl was sleeping soundly, and her tense face appeared to ease slightly. Then he returned to Zhou's side.

"Zhaoren, kind and intelligent since childhood, Master Sanding, once said that he has a Buddha fate, and you will quickly send Zhaoren out of the palace, leave this forbidden city forever, and go to live an ordinary life."

"Your Majesty, thank you for thinking about Zhao'er, and thank you for the concubine."

"Arrange it as soon as possible, the day after tomorrow, I will arrange for a good person to send you and Ci Hong and Ci Jiong out of Beijing, if I perish in the Ming Dynasty, your mother and son should not have the heart of recovery, and cultivate and study for generations."

"Concubines remember!" At this time, Zhou had already cried into tears, but he didn't dare to cry.

"Wenchen misunderstood me!" Zhu Youzhen suddenly came up with such a sentence, which seemed to be shirking his responsibility as a father. Say it, hide your face and cry!

"Father." When Zhu Youzhen and Zhou comforted each other, Princess Zhaoren had already come behind the two.

"Come here, thank you!" Zhou saw that Princess Zhaoren, who was in the same room but did not sleep in the same bed, was not dressed and barefoot, and greeted him.

"Father, don't cry, my brother and I will protect you when we grow up!"

Zhu You couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he listened, at this time, those so-called pillars of the country are not as good as a girl!

"Wenchen should be killed!" He was still annoyed in his heart, but he still smiled bitterly and hugged Zhaoren......

At ten o'clock at noon, Zhaoren was dressed as a granddaughter by the nurse, mixed out of the palace with the swill wheel, went straight to Xizhimen, deceived the rebel army, and hid in Xishan.
