In just one month, the Ming Empire had two emperors successively collapsed, and the court was already in chaos. The most powerful woman in the harem of Shenzong was Concubine Zheng. However, by the time of Guangzong's collapse, Xi Li Xuanshi was already the overlord of the palace.

She was the most beloved concubine of Guangzong. As early as when Emperor Guangzong of Ming was the crown prince, she was arrogant and repeatedly beat and scolded the crown prince. Zhu Youxue's biological mother Wang. Wang was so angry that she died of depression. Before she died, she once said this: "I have a grudge with Xili, but I can't stand it." After Wang's death, Ming Shen personally ordered Zhu Youxue and his fifth brother Zhu Youjian to take care of Xili.

In order to control Zhu Youxiao, Xi Li asked him to live with him. Zhu Youxiao refused her request because of "separation from each other," and refused her request. Xi Li was very concerned about this and stipulated that Zhu Youxiao must bow and bow to her on time every day. She even often "repent and abused" Zhu Youxiao, making him "sweep day and night" and "see each other together but cannot bear to speak." At the same time, in order to prevent Zhu Youxiao from understanding her crime of persecuting Wang, Wang's old people were forbidden from interacting with Zhu Youxiao, and the violators were immediately arrested and beaten. Ming Guangzong also knew about these things, but he never scolded Xi Li, but just comforted Zhu Youxiao.

On the first day of the September 1st, the Ming Guangzong passed away. At that time, Zhu Youxiao was only sixteen years old. Some ministers considered that Zhu Youxiao had neither a legitimate mother nor a biological mother, and had a very strong momentum, and planned to continue to entrust him to Xili for care. Some ministers firmly opposed it, believing that this was the top priority related to the country. Whoever has the young master Zhu Youxiao has the initiative, and Xili is not someone who can be entrusted. Only by temporarily leaving the Qianqing official as soon as possible and getting rid of Xili's control can the overall situation be stabilized. In order to realize the requirements of the queen's enthronement, Xili

To consolidate his position, he was also in the Qianqing officials and his confidant eunuch Li Jinzhong and others to plan to hostage Zhu Youxiao and prevent him from leaving the Qianqing officials.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the eunuch outside the door and cursed in his heart. When his father died, he would be locked up in this house. The emperor was not allowed to attend the mourning ceremony. He couldn't help but feel annoyed. When my mother was there, although she was bullied by Li Xuanshi, she was at least not as naked as she is now. Now she is so good that my father died. I used to be a little angry, but now she has no freedom. Could it be that Li Xuanshi wants to learn from Wu Zetian and be the female emperor? Zhu Youxiao was shocked when he thought of this. Seeing this, even if the fairy didn't become the female emperor, she would become Empress Dowager Cixi. No, I have to find a way to escape first. I suddenly had a dream yesterday, and I went from being illiterate to becoming a high-level intellectual, and I also struggled with a lot of good strategies for governing the country. Now, I was so lucky that he was a prisoner without a shot.

Although I thought so in my heart, I couldn't think of any way. So I shouted to the outside of the house: "That slave in the door, I want to go to the toilet."

The eunuch was not stupid. Li Xuanshi had already issued an order, and no reason could she have let the future emperor walk out of this warm pavilion (the Qianqing Palace was tall and wide when it was first built, with a large area, so the emperors divided the Qianqing Palace into small compartments one by one, divided into two upper and lower floors, a total of more than ten rooms), or they would break their legs. So they plucked up their courage and said, "Your Highness, the toilet is where servants like me go. Isn't there a toilet behind the screen in your room?"

When Zhu Youxiao saw this eunuch like this, he knew that Li Xuanshi would definitely not let him go out. It seems that this poisonous woman really wants to be Empress Dowager Cixi this time. She kidnapped herself this time, and she must have wanted to take the emperor to command the princes. It seems that she has no choice but to be a turtle for a few days. When I become the emperor in the future, I will definitely take you, the poisonous woman, to behead her head. At the same time, seeing that the eunuch is not very firm in the position, I must have known that I will become the emperor in the future, and I am afraid of me.

So he said to the eunuch again: "I have always liked to go to the toilet, but I won't be able to go to the toilet without the toilet. What's your name? You are so disrespectful to me. Be careful that I will smash your butt." Zhu Youxiao saw the eunuch shaken and immediately said: "If you let me go out today, you will have your own benefits in the future." Zhu Youxiao was again coercive and tempted. He was very proud in his heart, thinking that the eunuch would let him go out.

Unexpectedly, the eunuch hesitated for a long time and finally plucked up the courage and said, "Your Highness, I know that if you don't let Your Highness go out, I'm guilty of a serious crime. But if I let Your Highness go out today, my life will be lost."

Zhu Youxiao was very disappointed after hearing this. He understood the eunuch's words very well. The palace was full of dangers, and even princes and concubines often died of misfortune, not to mention the palace full of eunuchs. There were thousands of eunuchs and maids in the Daming Palace, but not a hundred and dozens of them disappeared a year. I thought to myself, this poisonous woman must have made plans long ago. No wonder she looked at me so tightly. It seems that there is no hope for her to start running today.

I also thought that yesterday my father had entrusted those ministers to assist me. It would not be a day after these ministers would forget all of those words, and would also assist me to become a wise monarch like Yao and Shun. Now it seems that not to mention Yao and Shun, even the emperor can't do it. So I spat and took care of the ministers. It seems that all the fucking shit is not enough. If I become the emperor in the future, I will not keep any one, and I will change it. The book says that I will capture the king first, but now, I have been kidnapped by others, and a bunch of ministers will still be fooled. It's all fucking shit.

Just as our captive crown prince was cursing these ministers, these ministers had already received news of the emperor's collapse. They ran out of breath and were about to enter the palace to hold a mourning ceremony. The eunuch who guarded the palace had already received the order from Li Xuanshi, and even raised the sword and stick together. The fierce look was revealed, stopping the ministers from entering. The ministers' faces turned purple, and they didn't know how to deal with it for a moment, standing there like wooden men.

Only Yang Lian, the military officer, did not listen to the evil. He rushed out of the crowd and shouted sternly at the eunuch guarding the gate, "The emperor called me to wait for this. Now the emperor has passed away. He is young. You can't let the door pass and enter the palace to mourn. Where is your intention?" The eunuchs knew that they were in the wrong and dared not argue. Then they slowly pushed them away. The ministers entered one after another to mourn.

Due to the previous opposition of the ministers and the early death of Emperor Guangzong of Ming Dynasty.

Xi Li was so frightened that not only did the dream of being the queen shattered, but she did not even get the title of the imperial concubine in the end. She was extremely angry about this. As soon as Ming Guangzong died, she confined Zhu Youxiao in the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace and refused to let him come out to guard Ming Guangzong. Zhu Youxiao, the eldest son of the emperor, did not attend the mourning ceremony, which made the ministers even more suspicious and further felt the seriousness of the problem.

As soon as the mourning ceremony ended, the struggle for Zhu Youxiao entered a close contact. The ministers repeatedly asked to see Zhu Youxiao, but they could not find him no matter how hard they looked. Liu Yiren, a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, was very angry and asked: "The emperor collapsed, and the eldest son ascended the throne in front of the pivot. He is not here now, why is that?"

Originally, the eunuch of the Eastern Palace, Wang An, the eunuch of the Sili Supervisor, stepped forward and replied: "Mr. Liu, the eldest prince is now locked in the Ganqing Palace by Li Xuan's servant."

Liu Yiliao shouted loudly: "This Li Xuanshi is also very brave. He dares to hide and imprison the future emperor. Everyone comes to the Ganqing Palace to pick up the eldest prince."

Wang An immediately stepped forward and said, "Mr. Liu, please wait and let me go to the Qing Palace to see the situation. If you have the chance, you will bring the eldest prince out to ascend the throne.

After saying that, he entered the palace to see Zhu Youxiao. Wang An was worn out, but Xi Li still disagreed. Seeing that Wang An failed to beg, he rushed to the warm room and pulled Zhu Youxiao out in one breath.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao was thinking about how to escape from the tiger's mouth. Hearing a noise outside, after a while, when Wang An rushed in, he knew that he was here to rescue him. He thought to himself that someone, the hostage, finally, came to rescue Wang An, the old loyal minister of his father. The group of useless ministers was useless. He kept thinking in his mind, but his feet did not stop. He heard Wang An shouting, "Your Highness, hurry up and follow the servant." He rushed out.

As soon as he left the door, he saw Li Xuanshi in front of him discovering Wang An's plan and bringing seven or eight eunuchs over. Zhu Youxiao knew something was wrong at first sight, but he had already run halfway through, and he ran faster and rushed towards the crowd. The eunuchs, seeing Zhu Youxiao rushing over for fear of his life, were afraid of hurting the future emperor, but he could not let him run away. They were stunned for a moment. In just this moment, Zhu Youxiao rushed past three or four eunuchs. When the eunuchs behind saw that they were about to run away, they didn't care about so many, rushed up and dragged Zhu Youxiao.

When Zhu Youxiao saw this situation, he couldn't help but think of rugby, so he began to move left and right in the crowd. Suddenly, he saw Li Xuanshi standing behind, so he turned around and rushed towards him. When Li Xuanshio saw that Zhu Youxiao rushed over, he was so scared that he was so scared that the eunuchs saw that their master was in danger, they all ran towards Xili. When Zhu Youxiao ran to Xili, they wanted these eunuchs to think that he was going to rush to Xili. Seeing that there was a problem with the eunuchs' battle position, they immediately turned around and rushed to the eunuch's siege and blocked, and ran out.

The ministers who were mourning Emperor Guangzong in the palace saw Zhu Youxiao running out, and they knelt down and kowtowed together, shouting "Long live".

At this time, Xi Li sent Li Jinzhong to lead the eunuchs to chase him out and asked Zhu Youxiao to return to the Ganqing Palace and not let him go out of the gate. Yang Lian, Wang An and others pushed the eunuchs away and personally protected the eunuchs. Liu Yiyin and British Duke Zhang Weixian were separated from each other, supporting Zhu Youxiao and strode out.

Just as he ran to the gate of the Ganqingguan, the eunuchs chased after him again, tightly holding Zhu Youxiao's clothes, and insisted on him going back, and shouted: "Where are you ministers who want to hold the eldest son hostage?" One eunuch pulled a corner of Zhu Youxiao's robe because of his excessive force, and he fell down and squatted. Zhu Youxiao was very angry when he saw that the eunuch was so rampant. However, at this time, he had already run wildly and was already panting and had the strength to speak.

Fortunately, Yang Lian was not afraid at all. While harshly rebuked the eunuchs, he also protected Zhu Youxiao into the sedan chair with his ministers, quickly bypassed the inner left gate, passed Chonglou and Wenlou, and went straight to Wenhua Hall. At 9 a.m., the ministers had just finished saluting the new emperor, and Xili sent people to marry Zhu Youxiao back and forth the officials. Seeing this situation, the ministers felt that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time. After intense discussion, after ten o'clock in the morning, they took strict protection measures and invited Zhu Youxiao to Ciqing Palace (East Palace, Tai*).

Zhu Youxiao finally got a rest after a day of hard work. Thinking about today's tragic experience, I thought to myself, it's because I don't have the strength, and those eunuchs would rather offend me, the future emperor than offend the poisonous woman. It seems that I have to find some trustworthy people, otherwise I don't know how to die if I'm killed by that woman.

What Zhu Youxiao is thinking about now is how to win people's hearts and establish his own power in the palace. But to be loyal to you alone is nothing more than power, money, and beauty, money, and beauty himself. There are also rights, but they are all empty checks. It seems that these are not very useful.

It’s also a big blame for Zhu Youxiao’s unluckyness. When he was a prince, he only knew how to have fun and didn’t know a single word. The other modern young man lived for more than 20 years and became the largest official, a squad leader. He took charge of dozens of people under his command. Now he suddenly became the emperor and took over 100 million at once. Even the eunuchs in the palace were many times more than those of the dozens. At this time, it was like a person who wanted to eat pork, but he didn’t think of a live pig on the table, asking people to whine. No, he had to find a good adviser and a good military advisor. It would be better if he was a genius like Zhuge Liang, so that I would be the emperor.

When Zhu Youxiao thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh. Zhuge Liang was looking for a cobbler now, so he should find someone who is trustworthy first. After thinking about it, it seemed that he had to start with Wang An first. Wang An should be a loyal minister.

After thinking about it, he immediately called a little eunuch to call Wang An.

Just when Zhu Youxiao was at a loss and had no choice, the eunuch Wang An was called to Ciqing Palace. Wang An followed Zhu Youxiao's father Guangzong throughout his life and had a deep relationship with Guangzong and his son. Although Guangzong finally became the emperor, his fate was very bumpy. Wang An and Guangzong shared hardships. With Guangzong's trust in him, he must insist on supporting Zhu Youxiao.

After Wang An came in, he kowtowed and said, "The eunuch Wang An, the eunuch who was in charge of the Silis, met with the emperor."

When Zhu Youxiao saw Wang An coming, he immediately stepped forward and helped Wang An up and said, "After the collapse of his father, I have no one to trust, only Eunuch Wang can reassure me. Now Li Xuanshi actually wants to hold me hostage and want to learn from Wu Zetian to be the female emperor. What should I do now?"

Wang An knew that although Li Xuanshi was very powerful in the palace, she said that she wanted to be the emperor and said, "Emperor, this Li Xuanshi held His Majesty's slave hostage and thought that he just wanted the emperor to enthrone the queen for her. If he had no title, Li Xuanshi had to move the palace to the Liluan Palace. The slave believed that he did not have the courage to usurp the throne. My Ming Dynasty's laws are strict, and it is a taboo to participate in politics in the harem."

When Zhu Youxiao heard that Li Xuanshi was holding him hostage for his own selfish desires, he couldn't help but feel angry. This poisonous woman just wanted to be a queen, even the emperor, the emperor, was hostage for her. Her mind turned around and she said:

"Eunuch Wang, it's better to be my best friend as she wishes, and I will be the one who is the imperial concubine."

Wang An immediately replied: "No, if she is satisfied so easily, she will inevitably make more excessive demands. In fact, the emperor does not have to worry. The Ming Dynasty is now the emperor. The emperor will stabilize Li Xuanshi first. When the emperor holds the throne ceremony, the minions of Li Xuanshi can see clearly. Whose world is the Ming Dynasty? Let's see what she has plans at that time."

Zhu Youxiao felt relieved after hearing this and said, "Eunuch Wang, this plan is very good, but what should I do if Li Xuanshi comes to force me to rob me?"

After hearing this, Wang An thought, what if he really came to steal someone, so he said, "Please rest assured, I will arrange some loyal people to guard the palace gate."
