The summer is scorching hot, and the situation in Ming Dynasty suddenly changes.
The East Factory was uprooted, most of the people in the West Factory were taken to Tibet by Wang Zhen, and the rest were easily exterminated.
Ma Shun, Wang Zhen's number one henchman, was originally loyal and loyal, but for some reason he switched sides and became the person who caused the greatest harm to Wang Zhen's family.
Zhu Biao's return made everything different. The vast majority of the people still did not dare to get involved in the struggle for the position of emperor, but the balance in their hearts had quietly tilted.

No one doubted Zhu Biao's legitimacy, and everyone felt that he was the best candidate for the throne.
Even those who oppose him only know that they are in the wrong.
It happened that at this time, Wang Zhen went to fight. He very coquettishly chose to lead his troops there in person. He originally planned to gain reputation and military merit, but he ended up getting himself into a trap.
The strength of the East Factory and the West Factory is not bad, but the main problem is that they lack a leader. No one wants to take the lead, and they are defeated one by one.
The leaders they need may be weak or even incompetent, but they must have authority.
The person who can give orders and dare to take responsibility at critical moments must be Wang Zhen.
Although his ability is very low, he is favored by the new emperor and has unlimited power in his hands.
It's a pity that he completely lost control of the situation in Tubo. Even if he knew about it, if he said a word, the coup would be over.
Yanjing, the headquarters of the Fifth Army.
In the central military tent, Xu Jingchang was wearing iron armor and a Confucian robe. He put his fists on his knees and sat upright. His helmet was put aside and a white cloth was tied on his forehead. He was ill and had a splitting headache.
With a sound of brush, Xu Huizu came in with a gun and a yellow silk edict in his left hand. He raised it high and shouted angrily: "Now, Your Majesty, in accordance with the imperial edict of Taizu, has ascended the throne as emperor and summons loyal and righteous people." , together we will slay Wang Zhen’s traitors, and our achievements for a thousand years will be achieved in one fell swoop! Jing Chang, don’t make any mistakes!”
A torch in the tent made a soft sound of "Bibi peel peel", and Xu Jingchang's face was bright and dark under the light of the fire.
Xu Jingchang's face was complicated. He wanted to scold his uncle, but he couldn't speak. He could only say in a deep voice: "Uncle, why are you doing this?"
"Your Majesty has now moved into the Forbidden City. Why do you serve the rebels? Follow me and do the service of the dragon, so that you can preserve the blood of your fourth brother." Xu Huizu held up the edict and said: "Send troops quickly to fight against the rebels!"
The young man said: "Uncle, you also know that our father is..."
Xu Huizu was Xu Da's eldest son. When Zhu Di was in trouble, his fourth brother Xu Zengshou secretly sent a lot of information to Zhu Di.
Later, when he was reported, Emperor Jianwen stabbed him to death with his own hands. When Zhu Di succeeded, he posthumously named Xu Zengshou the Marquis of Wuyang. He became the first meritorious official to be awarded the title after Zhu Di ascended the throne, with the posthumous title of "Zhongmin". As a military minister who keeps upright, he is specially promoted to the rank of Ronglu, the Youzhu Kingdom, and is promoted to the Duke of Dingguo, and his descendants inherit it hereditary.
And because the Xu family had too much influence in the army, Zhu Di put Xu Jingchang in charge of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, holding the most capable troops in the Beijing camp. This position had long been held by his uncle Xu Huizu.
Today's Duke Dingguo is Xu Jingchang, Xu Huizu's nephew. His father died at the hands of Emperor Jianwen. Xu Jingchang was very resistant to asking him to be loyal to Emperor Jianwen's biological father.
But the uncle entered the Chinese army camp single-handedly, which means that some people in the camp had already defected to him. The uncle had been in charge of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion for so many years, and he promoted many people. The impact of his rebellion was too great.
As Xu Jingchang said, he winked, and two sergeants next to him came up, half pushing and half dragging Xu Huizu out.
There was a sudden commotion outside the tent, and a pale-faced middle-aged man walked in. He wore the leather armor of a general, but had a long sword studded with jewels on his waist. His steps were frivolous. Although he was wearing military uniform, he looked more like
He is a rich man whose body has been drained by wine and sex.
The clan dandy shouted: "Captain, something bad has happened, the Three Thousand Battalion has rebelled!"
The Three Thousand Battalion is a group of Hu soldiers and horses. They are similar to the mercenaries of the Ming Dynasty. They are all foreign cavalry from the grassland.
These people actually took refuge in Zhu Biao. How many people in the Fifth Army Camp were willing to fight with him? Xu Jingchang couldn't help feeling despair. At this point, there was no room for recovery.
For the sake of his descendants, the lintel of the Xu family and the glory of his ancestors, Xu Jingchang lowered his head and said: "It all depends on the uncle."
Xu Huizu shouted loudly, "Beat the drums and gather the generals, follow me into the palace!"
His remaining power was still there, and the soldiers saw that the familiar Governor Xu had returned and wanted to take them to welcome Prince Li Yiwen.
This was another achievement of following the dragon, and everyone was extremely happy.
At this time, Zhu Biao had already arrived outside the Forbidden City, and people from Jinling were galloping over.
If they want to save the situation, they must find the little emperor, but the little emperor is missing.
Without Zhu Qizhen, who could barely compete with Zhu Biao in name, the hearts of people turned to His Highness Zhu Biao, and it became even more difficult to stop him——
In the Forbidden City, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager were all gathered together. They were united for a rare moment, but it seemed to be of no use.
"No matter what, find my prince first." Empress Dowager Sun said in tears.
"Who else in the court is willing to serve our orphans and widowed mothers?" asked the Empress Dowager Zhang.
Opposite them, an old minister looked miserable and shook his head.
"If Master Daoyan is here, he can definitely turn the tide. Wang Zhen, a villain, has done a lot of harm to Your Majesty!" The old minister was Yang Rong who was dismissed. He stayed in Yanjing and was summoned to the palace by Empress Dowager Zhang.
.
It's a pity that he was squeezed out by Wang Zhen and no longer had any power. He could only watch as yamen and barracks turned against each other, and countless officials rushed to pay homage to Prince Yiwen.
In fact, deep down in his heart, he vaguely felt that since Prince Yiwen was resurrected and had Taizu's edict, he should be allowed to take charge of the Ming Dynasty.
However, the Empress Dowager Zhang was kind to him, and for civil servants, the kindness of knowing him could be repaid with their lives.
Yang Rong had already made plans to commit suicide. He did not intend to disobey Taizu, and he did not want to regret Chengzu. He was in a dilemma and had to die.
Boom~boom~boom
A huge bell rang, and there was chaos outside the palace, with shouts everywhere.
Countless people were scrambling to escape. One side of the palace was already in flames. Several tents in the northeast corner of the camp were engulfed in flames. Several riders were rushing to kill them in the flames. One of them, a big man, coiled his horse and bent his bow. When the bowstring sounded, he killed the fleeing people one by one.
Shoot.
"Those who abandon the Lord and run away will be killed without mercy!"
As soon as these words came out, the effect was immediate and the servants in the palace no longer ran for their lives.
The big man reined in his horse and galloped away, causing everyone to yell at him.
No wonder he refused to let him escape, it turned out to be to make room for himself.
