Northwest, where the Qing court palace is located.

Tian Wenjingku sat at home, staring blankly at the oil lamp in front of him. He had been in this position for more than half an hour. If his chest had not been slightly undulating, it would look like a wax figure.

When the Qing court lost Beijing and was forced to move westward, the Qing court was not as good as before during the Xi'an period. Even the emperor's palace was only rebuilt from the earliest governor's yamen. The officials of the court were of high level, but those middle and lower-level officials of low levels could not even meet a single-family courtyard.

Tian Wenjing is a Han native, but he is from the Zhenglan Banner of the Han army, so he is considered a member of the Eight Banners.

Tian Wenjing was a prison student. When he was in his early twenties, he was first appointed as the county magistrate, and later served as the magistrate and the prefect. In the 45th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, Tian Wenjing was moved back to the central government from a local official and served as the Minister of Personnel. Later, he was transferred to the doctor of the Ministry of Justice, and then became the supervisor censor.

Judging from Tian Wenjing's promotion, his officialdom can only be said to be mediocre. If there were no accidents, he might be able to reach the level of a six ministers. Unfortunately, Tian Wenjing had no background, and secondly, he was shortly after serving as the chief censor, and soon after he was appointed as the censor, he encountered the Ming Dynasty's surprise attack on Tianjin. Then Beijing fell and the Qing court fled in a panic.

Following the Qing court, he fled from Beijing to Guanzhong. Although Tian Wenjing's official position was still there, his status plummeted. The Qing court was even lost in the Central Plains. In addition to panic, the Qing court was thinking about how to fight back to the Central Plains to recreate the glory of his ancestors. He, the so-called supervisor, was originally a noble official in the Qing Dynasty, so he naturally sat on the bench.

In Xi'an, Tian Wenjing, who had no savings, was extremely poor, but now in the northwest, the conditions are even worse than those in Xi'an. An official like Tian Wenjing cannot even guarantee three meals a day for the family, let alone the others?

However, Tian Wenjing's character is tough, and he can afford these hardships. The court lacks enough salary and his family cannot settle it. Tian Wenjing, who has been a local official, simply took his family to find a piece of land to cultivate it, and spent some of the last savings in his hands to build a simple house to settle it.

In this way, although life is still hard, the whole family can live a life. Tian Wenjing only hopes that the Qing court can be ashamed and brave. Whether it is to fight back to the Central Plains or gain a foothold in the northwest, the court will slowly recover, and everything may be better by then.

But Tian Wenjing never expected that the Qing court was still fighting in this way. Prince Yong's sudden rise to power and Emperor Jianxing's power fell, which made Tian Wenjing worried.

Although as a minister in Kangxi year, Tian Wenjing was not interested in Emperor Jianxing, and he even felt that Emperor Jianxing was inappropriate in his throne. After all, Emperor Jianxing was the emperor of the Qing Dynasty after Kangxi's death, and now he is regent by Prince Yong. Although outsiders are not sure what happened, they can guess.

But no matter what, what happened to the royal family, Tian Wenjing, a small censor, couldn't speak at all, nor did he have the ability to do so. So even if Tian Wenjing was dissatisfied, he could only hide it in his heart and sighed secretly at the loneliness of the Qing court.

But now it’s different. Just yesterday, something big happened in the Qing court and Emperor Jianxing passed away.

In fact, Jianxing died a few months ago, but his death has never been known to outsiders.

Now, the Qing court suddenly officially announced to the public that Emperor Jianxing died of severe illness and failed to cure, and Emperor Jianxing's empress also passed away due to grief after Emperor Jianxing's death. In other words, in just one day, both the emperor and the empress died. This news shocked Tian Wenjing.

This is not counting. Even more explosive is still behind. Before Emperor Jianxing passed away, he issued a will, but did not pass on the throne of Emperor Jianxing's prince. Instead, he was passed on to the fourth prince, the current regent Prince Yong.

Now, Prince Yong has accepted the will and will officially ascend the throne to the emperor in a while. When the news came out, Tian Wenjing couldn't stand it all at once. In his opinion, this was completely life-threatening. Where in the world is the reason why the emperor passed away but did not pass on his son but instead passed on his brothers? In addition, Prince Yong controlled the government with the regent. Although Jianxing did not abdicate before his death, he had already become a hostage in Prince Yong's hands. Therefore, this so-called will was probably forged by Prince Yong, and even the death of Emperor Jianxing and the Empress was probably the cause of Prince Yong.

Tian Wenjing didn't like Emperor Jianxing because of the confusing death of Kangxi. How could Tian Wenjing, a minister of the Kangxi Dynasty, like Emperor Jianxing? But one code is the same as the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. However, now Emperor Jianxing and the Empress suddenly died on the same day. As soon as the will of Prince Yong was passed, Tian Wenjing could no longer hold back the anger in his heart.

In addition to the news on the outside, Tian Wenjing also heard even more terrifying news, that is, it was privately reported that Emperor Jianxing and Empress both died at the hands of Prince Yong, especially the latter was crushed by Prince Yong.

Although it was not proved that the news was true or false, Tian Wenjing felt as if he had lost his soul after hearing about this incident, and he stood there on the spot. Even Tian Wenjing didn't know how he returned home.

The inferior lamp oil burned and the light was dim, with a strong and unpleasant smell. With a light bang, the wick jumped a little, and the room lit up first and then became darker. Tian Wenjing's eyes looked slightly at this moment.

"How dare you do this!" Tian Wenjing gritted his teeth. He wanted to personally rush to the palace to ask Prince Yong, who was about to inherit the throne, and ask him the real cause of Emperor Jianxing and Empress's death.

However, how could he, a literati who was over fifty years old and had no power to fight chickens? As for his so-called supervisory and censorship, this official had long stood aside. Not to mention seeing the emperor for a year, he could not even pay the full salary of the court.

Tian Wenjing's personality is jealous of evil and dares to act. He cannot enter the palace. The only way is to give the pen in his hand a warning. He knew that he would definitely die if he did this. With Prince Yong's mean and polite personality, even the whole family of the Tian family would not have a good end.

But a real man does something and does not do anything. Tian Wenjing has to do this no matter what. He made up his mind and stood up and walked a few steps in the house. Then he took out a blank memorial and picked up the pen and wrote it. Tian Wenjing, who was sad and angry, wrote a thousand words in just half an hour. After writing, Tian Wenjing picked it up and looked carefully. The more he looked, the more he could not suppress the anger in his heart.

At this moment, a heavy sound of slapping the door suddenly came from the door. Tian Wenjing was shocked and hid the memorial aside, then got up and shouted in the direction of the door: "Who is calling the door?"
