Hou Xuanyan won the first battle of the Northern Expedition in Yangzhou, but Fuzhou, as the temporary court, was speechless. Such a shocking event that should have been celebrated throughout the country seemed to have never happened in Fuzhou.

In the palace in Fuzhou, Emperor Longwu Zhu Youjian and the Empress hugged each other and cried bitterly in the inner palace. Their son died. Zhu Youjian was not a woman in his life. There was only one Empress Zeng and two concubines in the harem, which was very different from most vassal kings in the late Ming Dynasty. He was 40 years old this year and was happy to have a dragon son in July. He was so happy that he was named Prince Zhuang Jing. Unfortunately, Prince Zhuang Jing died young and died after only a few months of his life.

Zhu Youjian was frugal by nature and had no other hobbies except studying. The palace was forbidden to prepare various utensils of gold, silver and jade, and only use magnets, tiles, copper, tin, etc., and not use brocade, thread, velvet, curtains, bedding, or ordinary cloth. The prince was buried, and searched the entire palace and collected a few white silks. The entire palace was sad and anxious, and everyone shed tears for His Majesty and the Queen.

In the simple palace, Zhu Youjian's face was pale and his heart was ashamed. The decades of imprisonment failed to destroy his will, but the death of his youngest son made the middle-aged man aging instantly.

At this time, the eunuch Wang Xiangnian, dressed in plain clothes, came over and saw the miserable look of the emperor and the queen hugging each other and crying. She was even more pitiful than ordinary people's homes. Wang Xiangnian wiped a few tears and knelt down and choked, "Your Majesty, Grand Secretary Su Guan is looking for a meeting outside."

Zhu Youjianqiang cheered up and signaled the queen to get up and return to the harem, saying, "Tell him to come in."

Su Guansheng suffered a great defeat in Ganzhou, but it actually had little to do with him, because although he was a Grand Secretary, no one cared about him at all when he arrived. After Jin Shenghuan seized Ganzhou, their defeated general fled to Xuemuling, and happened to meet Qian Sule and Sun Jiaji who came to support him. The people in these two palaces were the elites of King Lu. They practiced day and night these days, and were in Shaoxing, Hangzhou, with sufficient soldiers and food. When Su Guansheng saw it, he thought that with this group of people, he would definitely take revenge and wash away his shame. He put on the air of a Grand Secretary and wanted to seize the power of the two groups of people to command the army.

Qian Sule and Sun Jiaji did not take him seriously at all. They mocked him and drove him out of the barracks and continued to march towards Ganzhou.

Su Guansheng suffered this great humiliation and became so angry that he fell seriously ill. He returned to Fuzhou in shame. Before his family could enter, he came to the palace and complained to the emperor.

As soon as he saw the emperor, he knelt on the ground and cursed Hou Xuanyan on the face. He said that he indulged his subordinates, ignored the court ministers, and took in the remnants of King Lu.

The tears in Zhu Youjian's eyes had not yet dissipated. Listening to his crying and roaring, I was extremely upset.

Zhu Youjian waved his hand and said, "My youngest son died young and has no intention of dealing with political affairs. Let's report it tomorrow morning."

When Su Guansheng heard this, he seemed to have chicken blood, and as if someone had dug up his ancestral tomb. His eyes were bloodshot and his face flushed, and he said loudly: "How can Your Majesty abandon the state affairs because of family affairs? Hou Xuanyan is so ruthless that Your Majesty will not punish him. Instead, he mourns the late prince here. It is not the act of a wise king!"

He said righteousness and did not expect that he was the one who was ruthless. Although Prince Zhuang Jing was young, he was the prince of the Eastern Palace after all. When Su Guansheng roared, he neither considered the emperor's grief as an old father, nor did he expect that as a minister, he should be sad about the prince's death. A common problem in the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty was that he visited prostitutes and played with him, embezzled and accepted bribes, and formed a clique for personal gain. But he also required that the emperor must be a saint, and the standard for judging a saint was very simple. If he listened to them, he would be a saint. If he didn't listen to them, he would be a fool. He would be a saint and a saint.

Zhu Youjian was so angry that his whole body was trembling. Looking at the Grand Secretary roaring in front of him, he suddenly laughed bitterly. Accompanied by the shrill laughter, Zhu Youjian stood up, turned around and picked up an inkstone beside him, and threw it at Su Guansheng.

Su Guansheng was hit by the head, and blood suddenly leaked out and he was stunned. In their impression, the emperor was a good emperor, because when they were making trouble, the emperor would never beat them up and deposed their official positions like the foolish monarchs before.

In the eyes of these military officers of the Longwu Dynasty, Zhu Youjian was a distant vassal and was not close to the blood of the late emperor. Therefore, they always looked down on Zhu Youjian and believed that without their support, Zhu Youjian could not be the emperor at all.

Zhu Youjian has always had this kind of concern, and he is like a puppet, so he has become more indulgent to these ministers who are not on the same mind as Zheng Zhilong. However, the clay man is still angry, and it is even more terrifying to be angry with honest people.

He opened a syrup for Su Guansheng, but he was still not satisfied. He took off his boots and held them in his hand, and started chasing and fighting in the palace.

Su Guansheng was in a panic and ran around the pillars in the palace. The guards didn't know what to do for a moment, so they could only follow them and follow them step by step.

Zhu Youjian lost one shoe, and was furious. When he was chasing, he accidentally stepped on his dragon robe and fell to the ground. The emperor lay on the ground, motionless, and everyone was so scared that he was out of control.

The guards hurried forward and carried him to the dragon throne. Someone had already gone to summon the imperial physician.

Su Guansheng was sweating coldly, squatting on the ground with his butt, his eyes were silent.

After a while, taking advantage of the chaos of the crowd, Su Guansheng sneaked out of the palace. He did not dare to go home, so he hid in his friend Lu Zhenfei's mansion, without mentioning anything about the matter in the palace. Lu Zhenfei only thought that he was frightened after his defeat, and after he persuaded him with kind words, he kept him in the mansion.

In the palace, Zhu Youjian finally woke up. After the imperial physician's treatment, Zhu Youjian spit out a mouthful of black blood, and blood gradually appeared on his face.

The eunuch and palace maid kneeled in front of the bed, with tears on his faces one by one. Zhu Youjian was so angry that he asked, "Doctor Wang, how is my body?"

The imperial physician named Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead and bent down and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, you are just anxious and you are too anxious. You can recover after a short period of time." The imperial physician Wang said this, but he was sweating for the emperor in his heart. This time he could be said to have passed away from the gates of hell. If it weren't for his excellent medical skills, it would really be the first emperor in the Ming Dynasty to be pissed to death. Even so, the disease would be left behind this time.

Zhu Youjian retreated from his arms, leaving only his confidant eunuch Wang Xiangnian, and waved to him to come over.

Wang Xiangnian did not dare to neglect, so he quickly got up and lay on the bed.
