    The mother died, but the son didn't even move. It was a blessing to die at this time.  Since the death of the empress and the eldest prince, the empress dowager's health has been deteriorating day by day. When the princess got married and married in Mongolia, the empress dowager was already seriously ill and unconscious. These days, she has been hanging on herself with ginseng.  It¡¯s not easy to survive until today.  The mother who gave birth to him was destroyed at the same time as the dynasty he created. You can imagine the impact on Zhang Shicheng's heart. He stood up and whispered: "Stop, I am going to the Great Baoen Temple." The eunuch replied.  : "Your Majesty, it's not peaceful outside the city" The emperor just wanted to go. Now the territory he can control is limited to the capital. Beyond the city wall is the territory of the Han army. Going out for a walk has become a luxury.  I understand, please step back.  "The emperor stood up unsteadily and walked towards the harem. As soon as he left the Fengtian Palace, the dazzling sunlight shone on his face. The silver on the emperor's temples was particularly dazzling. In just a few days, the emperor had already turned gray.   The Han army has not yet attacked the city, which makes people feel uneasy like a sword hanging over their heads. Ordinary people don't care. The key is the officials of the Zhou Dynasty and the emperor's die-hard troops such as the Jinyiwei Neichang.  However, the new imperial court would not let them go. When the city was destroyed, they died. Some frustrated and desperate people had already committed suicide. There were also some unwilling people who were jumping up and down to organize resistance. University scholar Yang Feng was the most active one.  As the youngest prime minister of the dynasty, he had too many unwillingnesses. Why did God give him everything, but then took it away in a hurry? Unwilling to do so, he carried his sword and his entourage, inspecting the city defenses and making arrangements.  Soldiers, horses, money and food, and incompetent officials were killed on the spot, but one person's efforts could not turn the tide, and everything was irreversible. The sedan chair of cabinet scholar Yang Feng passed by on the street.  The streets of Beijing are in a state of depression, with doors closed everywhere, faded wine flags swaying in the wind, withered yellow leaves floating all over the streets, traces of the military riots many days ago are still everywhere, all grain shops and restaurants have been closed, the siege does not know  How long will it last? It is better to stock up on goods and insurance. Although the imperial court has food and grass, it must give priority to supplying the army. The people can just let them fend for themselves. There is no one to blame. Who asked them to live in Yang Feng's sedan chair.  He hurriedly walked through the deserted Imperial Ancestral Temple Square, entered the Meridian Gate, and arrived at the Wenhua Hall. The cabinet courtyard was deserted. Those minor officials ran home without even asking for leave. There was nothing the court could do to them. Yang Feng frowned slightly and arrived.  Before his case, he found that according to the usual practice, there was no official document sent from the Sixth Ministry. He had no time to think about it, so he handed several official documents allocating military pay to his entourage and asked him to take it to the Chief of Ceremonies for sealing.  A quarter of an hour later, the entourage came to report that the Chief of Ceremonies had already been in chaos and could not find the palm eunuch. Yang Feng lamented and was about to enter the palace in person when a loud noise suddenly came, shaking him so much that he almost sat on the ground.  "Yang Feng pretended to be calm and asked. The sound of the cannon was too close. I'm afraid it wasn't the cannon of the Han army outside the city. Not long after, the entourage frightened and inquired the news from outside and reported: "Master Yang, the cannon is fired from the west, and the Imperial Army is firing.  Attack Xihuamen.  " Yang Feng was shocked. He had just passed the Superintendent of Ceremonies to approve ammunition and equipment to the Forbidden Army, and they rebelled against it. This is amazing! He hurriedly boarded the turret of the Forbidden City, and sure enough he found that the direction of Xihua Gate was crowded with people, filled with gunpowder smoke, and the Forbidden Army was fighting with the guards.  On the tower of Xihua Gate, Cao Shaoqin was commanding the soldiers to fight. Below the city were their former comrades, the Imperial Guards of the Imperial Palace. All forces in the capital were intertwined. The Imperial Guards of the Inner Factory and the Admiral of Jingzhao Yin Jiumen were in charge of the troops.  Si, the one with the least status and least luck is the Forbidden Army of the Beijing Camp. Even their President Qian would nod and bow down when he saw the little flag of the Jin Yiwei. Unexpectedly, he actually straightened up his back and brazenly rebelled and attacked the Forbidden City. What did he say?  On the side of the Qing emperor, the eunuchs were killed. Although Wen Hai and Cao Shaoqin had many conflicts, they were just like grasshoppers on a rope. Once the Xihua Gate was broken, there would be no difference between the imperial guards and the Imperial Guards.  The most elite army of the Great Zhou Dynasty was actually manned by the sons of powerful men. They had a glamorous appearance but weak combat effectiveness. They just relied on the tall walls of the Forbidden City to resist desperately. However, the Forbidden Army was very active and advanced and retreated in a controlled manner. Unfortunately, there were not many of them.  , the battle entered a stalemate. Yang Feng flicked his sleeves and left the turret. There have been many conflicts between various government offices in the capital in the past few days. The old grudges in the past are just a good opportunity to vent, but they are not as big as today.  Under this kind of chaos, the capital city will definitely not be able to defend itself. The only feasible way at this time is to gather a force to protect the emperor and break out.As long as the emperor's banner is there, there will be no chance of a comeback.  Yang Feng got off the turret and was about to enter the palace to meet the saint. Suddenly someone came to report that it was Prime Minister Hu who had arrived.  Hu Weiyong?  Hadn't this mediocre old minister already handed in his resignation and gone home to rest? Why did he pop up again at this time? There must be some good way to bring him back to life. Yang Feng's heart moved and he hurried towards the Meridian Gate.  When they arrived at the Wumen Gate, they found that the five gates were all closed. The Imperial Forest Army told Yang Feng that something was wrong. When Yang Feng climbed to the top of the city and took a look, he was also shocked.  Log into 6 Literature Network and support the version of Wulin Empire.  In front of the Meridian Gate, there were hundreds of sedans of all sizes parked, ranging from eight-carry sedans for first-rank officials to two-carriage sedans for seventh-rank minor officials. Hundreds of officials gathered in front of the door, all wearing black turbans.  Sha, wearing court clothes, looking serious, and Hu Weiyong was standing at the forefront of them.  Yang Feng asked loudly: "Master Hu, why are you leading all the officials here?" In the past, Hu Weiyong always looked like a submissive and good man, but today he was impassioned and full of pride, with his gray beard fluttering in the wind, and a look of expression on his face.  His righteousness was reflected in his appearance, and he shouted loudly to the tower: "We are here to persuade the emperor to abdicate and save the people from the fire and water." It turns out that they are here to force the emperor to go to the palace!  Further away, there was a dense crowd, including Jing Zhaoyin's officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army. The dense crowd stood in the Ancestral Temple Square. They were clearly prepared, and they were polite first and then sent troops. If the emperor refused to abdicate, he was afraid that he would be remonstrated with troops.  .  Hu Weiyong, an old boy who usually pretends to be deaf and mute, keeps a low profile, but shows his strength at critical moments. Needless to say, he must have contacted the Han army outside the city and reached some kind of agreement, and then he would brazenly gather officials to carry out the attack.  After being forced into the palace, Yang Feng saw to his surprise that the officials from the six ministries were among them. These fat-headed and sophisticated old guys usually obeyed his words, but at this time they all turned against him.  The Forbidden Army rebelled, and hundreds of officials also rebelled. At this moment, the entire system of the Zhou Dynasty collapsed. The imperial court was gone, and the emperor's decrees were limited to a corner of the Forbidden City. This was the true rebellion of the people. Yang Feng gritted his teeth and cursed Hu Weiyong and the officials.  The second minister is shameless, but the people below are eloquent and impassioned. They talk about the people's livelihood. They talk about it and refute Yang Feng to the point of being speechless. Their awe-inspiring appearance makes Yang Feng furious and gives orders.  The imperial guards fired artillery to kill this scum.  But the Imperial Guards looked at each other, and no one took action. Originally, the Imperial Guards of the Great Zhou Dynasty were run by the sons of powerful men. Many of the children of these civil and military ministers outside worked as servants in the Imperial Guards, asking them to fire cannons to kill their fathers and brothers. How could it be possible? Besides, the imperial court was already in trouble.  , who wants to kill people needlessly?  The Imperial Guards were motionless, and Yang Feng had no choice but to sigh and went down to the tower to find the emperor. The back half of the palace was still impregnable. The Imperial Guards were guarding the Qianqing Gate tightly, with their bows and arrows in full alert. Cao Shaoqin was at the door in person.  When the guard saw Yang Feng approaching alone, Cao Shaoqin sighed to himself, this child is really a loyal minister.  Yang Feng entered the Qianqing Palace. The emperor was sitting alone in the empty palace. All the tall and heavy boxes, cabinets and screens had been used to block the door. The Qianqing Palace was lonely, empty and extremely miserable.  Yang Feng still bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to meet the emperor. When he raised his head, he found that the emperor's face had changed somewhat. There were white bushes under the golden crown, and the beard on his chin was black, but it was much sparser than before.  As soon as his head turned white, he looked much older. When the emperor saw Yang Feng coming in, he smiled happily: "I have been making mistakes in my old age, but I have done one thing right, and that is to use you." Yang Feng burst into tears, and suddenly  He cried and said: "Your Majesty, the two princes are still in the north. We in Zhou Dynasty still have more than 100,000 soldiers to fight. I am not talented, but I am willing to protect your majesty to break through and reorganize the country." The emperor waved his hand gently: "It's too late.  I know in my heart that this is God's will." Yang Feng kowtowed again, and the black gauze hat fell to the ground, with blood pouring from his forehead. The emperor remained unmoved. He just took out a brocade box from under the throne and said, "This is mine.  I have decided to pass on the imperial seal and an imperial edict. The second son is too impatient and cannot bear the responsibility. The throne should be passed to the fourth son, Chengping. Yang Feng, I will trouble you to be the Minister of Gu Ming and pass the edict on my behalf. " " The emperor still has one after all.  After the arrangement, Yang Feng calmed down and asked puzzledly: "Eunuch Cao is still here, why not entrust him with a big responsibility?" The emperor said: "A eunuch is an eunuch. It's okay to be a guard dog for me. To do big things, you still need this.  Talent." Yang Feng's eyes filled with tears. He had no regrets in his life to be so appreciated and reused by the emperor. He took the brocade box solemnly, kowtowed three times to the emperor, and walked out of Qianqing Palace resolutely.  Behind Yang Feng, the Qianqing Palace slowly closed its door under the setting sun. On the eaves of the main hall, a crow that had been perched for a long time was startled and suddenly flickered its wings.The monster screamed and flew towards the blood-red sky.
