In the Chinese army's tent, Zhang Zhong told the whole story in detail. Since it was the day after Zhu Houzhao's death when Zhang Zhong left the capital, he also discussed the subsequent burial of Zhu Houzhao and the court's decision on the candidate for the new emperor.
Not aware of it.

"...On July 15th, the slave girl happened to receive a tip, so she took people out of the palace to do things. When she returned to the palace at the second watch, she learned the news that the emperor had drowned in Taiye Pond in Xiyuan. The slave girl
At that time, I participated in the rescue
When the rescuers rescued the emperor, he was already out of breath. The slaves thought that the emperor could not be saved. Later, the imperial doctor came to the imperial hospital to rescue him, but finally said that there was no way to save him. The emperor died just like that.
"
"The slave girl felt very strange, but all the people on duty that night were also detained and interrogated. It is said that they were interrogated by Beizhen Fusi and the Criminal Department together. Many people drowned on the ship together, and only Wang An, the personal attendant who accompanied him, was alive. Wang An
There are no questions about An’s confession.
Question. I also secretly asked some people, and they all said that it was indeed the emperor who was going to go rowing in Xiyuan that day, which caused this accident. In that case, I didn’t dare to say anything, and it was not my turn to say anything.
Talk, but this servant is very doubtful in his heart."
"...On the second day after the death of the emperor, Duke Dingguo and Duke Xu came to the palace to keep vigil. Duke Xu found me and talked to me about something in a secluded place. Duke Xu said that the emperor's death was strange, and now Yang Tinghe borrowed
According to the Queen Mother's decree, the soldiers and horses of the Western Camp and the Jinyi Guards were mobilized to blockade the palace and the capital, and did not agree to report the news to the two soldiers who were fighting abroad.
The Duke. Xu Xiaogongye said that there must be something fishy here. He wanted me to find a way to get out of the city, report the matter to the two Dukes, and ask the two Dukes to return to Beijing to take charge of the overall situation. Xu Xiaogong said, he and
Duke Ding suspects that there is a huge and shocking conspiracy here. He can't tell you what the conspiracy is specifically, and he has to wait until the two Dukes return to Beijing before he can tell them face to face."
"... After hearing this, the slave girl felt that the emperor's death was unusual. The slave girl originally wanted to sneak out of the city as Dongchang, but the city gate was heavily guarded. Everyone who left the city needed relevant permission, unless they had
You can only leave the city with the permission of the cabinet. The slave was at a loss and suddenly thought that the Queen might be able to help, so he took the risk to see the Queen and asked the Queen to help the slave get out.
The palace. Unexpectedly, the empress immediately agreed and gave me a handwriting, asking me to pretend to be from Kunning Palace to pick up her family members to attend the emperor’s funeral so that they could sneak out of the city. In this way, the slave was able to sneak out of the capital.
, rushed to report to the two princes. I was careful on this journey, for fear of being intercepted by others, so I stayed at dawn and stayed at night, walking on a narrow path, for fear of delaying the important event."
After Zhang Zhong recounted the story, he was out of breath. It took half a month from his departure from the capital to today. Because he was worried about being intercepted, Zhang Zhong indeed stayed overnight and hid in Tibet. He did not even dare to take the shortcut to Datong.
, but brought them from Yulin Weiyi to Hetao, and then drove all the way north from the uninhabited Gobi area on the edge of the Mu Us Desert in Baichengzi. On the way, they were followed by wild wolves on the Gobi Desert and were almost eaten by wolves.
He arrived in Dalat City, identified himself, changed a good horse, and crossed the river under the escort of several soldiers. Not long ago, he happened to encounter Huo Shijian's cavalry escorting Zhang Yong. After the two sides met, Huo Shijian hurriedly
Escort him to join Zhang Yanling and others in the army.
After listening to Zhang Zhong's narration, Zhang Lun was in extreme shock. First of all, he knew that Zhu Houzhao's death was a fact, and he died of drowning. Secondly, listening to Zhang Zhong's meaning, it seemed that the emperor
His death smacks of some ulterior conspiracy.
Zhang Lun had never experienced this before, and he was already in a state of bewilderment.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, he really died? Yanling... do you believe it? How is this possible?" Zhang Lun said blankly.
Zhang Yanling was as shocked as Zhang Lun. But his brain was not in a state of panic, but was running rapidly.

Emotionally, although Zhu Houzhao may not be a qualified emperor, many of his actions also made Zhang Yanling very disappointed and annoyed. But he is his nephew after all, and he respects him very much. He also works hard for what he wants to do.
Support. How can Zhang Yanling accept his death now?
The emotional inability to accept it was on the one hand, and on the other hand, Zhu Houzhao's sudden death suddenly made Zhang Yanling aware of a huge problem. That is, the rotation of the vortex of fate that he was in accelerated. That
The black hole devouring one's own destiny does not go away, but accelerates towards it.
This is the ninth year of Zhengde. In real history, Zhu Houzhao died in the sixteenth year of Zhengde. Zhang Yanling knew that time and space here are accelerating and some things are out of order, but he never expected that Zhengde would die seven years in advance. This is
A completely unexpected situation.
When Zhu Youtang died a year earlier, Zhang Yanling knew that time and space here were accelerating. But time did not delay, but accelerated. The death of Zhengde meant that the fateful result was about to come.
Not long ago, Zhang Yanling thought about dealing with something. It was the matter of the future Jiajing Emperor. Zhang Yanling's idea was very simple. If he directly solved the future Jiajing Emperor, all problems would be solved.
But Zhang Yanling remembered that Jiajing was only thirteen years old when he came to the throne, which was in the 16th year of Zhengde. Jiajing is only six years old now. It seems unnecessary to kill a six-year-old child. Obviously, it is not necessary.
It's not to the point where you have to kill a six-year-old child to solve it.
Because in Zhang Yanling's view, the strength he currently possesses can completely free him from the whirlpool of fate. Even if Jiajing ascends the throne, it will hardly pose a threat to him.
Moreover, Zhang Yanling has already accomplished something, and he no longer taboos the term "power minister". Not only is he not taboo, he also wants to become a powerful minister in the Ming Dynasty. Soon after he returns to the capital, Zhu Houzhao will agree with him to carry out organizational reforms in the imperial court.
According to the agreement with Zhu Houzhao, he will assume military and political power and become a veritable powerful official of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhang Yanling believes that she has enough strength to protect herself. I am afraid that everyone, including the emperor, will be helpless against him. That future threat will cease to exist after he takes control of power. Therefore, it is necessary to go to the extent of killing a six-year-old.
Are children who are 20 years old afraid of that outcome?
A person as confident as Zhang Yanling would obviously not do this. He even felt that he could smile and watch how the situation developed, which would be very interesting.

But at this moment, Zhengde suddenly died? Isn't this a big joke? Is this the turning of the wheel of fate, or is it just an accident? Before everything was accomplished, Zhu Houzhao's death not only declared that he was qualified.
The invalidity of the agreement between Zhu Houzhao made the situation even more confusing.
Zhu Houzhao's death was absolutely suspicious, and someone had taken action. The inexplicable worry lingering after Zhang Yong's arrival proved to be not that he was neurotic. From Zhang Zhong's description, Zhang Yanling knew that it must be the case without even paying attention to the details.
There is a big conspiracy.
I was too careless and failed to take better precautions and responses. Yang Tinghe took action, and Zhu Houzhao's death must be related to him.
Zhang Yanling stood up slowly, with a serious look on his face. He said slowly to Zhang Lun: "Brother Lun, Zhang Zhong has said it so clearly, can it still be false? The emperor has really passed away. Your Majesty.
, why did you just go?"
Zhang Yanling shouted loudly, walked to the door of the tent, slowly knelt down and kowtowed towards the capital. Zhang Lun also came to his senses, and quickly came to Zhang Yanling's side and knelt down to kowtow. Both of them had tears streaming down their faces.
Everyone inside and outside the big tent knelt on the ground. Soon after, the news spread throughout the army. Amidst the wailing, all the officers and soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army knelt down towards the capital, their cries shaking the sky.
