On the first day of the ninth month of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the sky was light and refreshing.

Li Tianyang got up in the morning, teased Qiong'er, a little girl who was about to turn two years old, at home, listened to her babbling, and never felt at ease to stay in his arms, wanting to go down to the ground to play.

Chen Yumo was pregnant again, but Mrs. Wu and Sanniang were so happy that they took care of Yumo to death, and even the most favored position of the little girl Qiong'er was robbed.

Just as he was relaxing and playing with the little girl, a sweaty warrior knocked on the door and walked in, but it was Dong Haoran, who was left by Li Tianyang's side, holding a court newspaper in his hand.

"Admiral, the emperor has died!" Dong Haoran came in a hurry because this newspaper was very important to Li Tianyang, who was wearing the official clothes of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, Dong Haoran and his henchmen were not sad or emotional at all about the death of the Ming Emperor.

"............" Li Tianyang raised his head and didn't speak for a long time.

Once had a relationship with the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and even in order to do what he liked, Li Tianyang also inquired about the emperor's preferences, knowing that the other party liked carpentry and other skillful skills, Li Tianyang also sent an out-of-print wooden scripture to Li Yongzhen to bring to the little emperor.

At that time, when they met for the only time, Li Tianyang was still surprised in his heart, how could this young emperor, who was five years younger than himself, live for a decade or two in a heavily guarded place like the palace, and he could not see that he would be a short-lived emperor.

But if it weren't for the short-lived emperor, it wouldn't match the little bit of historical knowledge that Li Tianyang recalled.

Until today, when he suddenly received a report from the imperial court about the death of the emperor, Li Tianyang was both surprised and felt that it was a reasonable thing.

"Troubled times are coming!!" Li Tianyang hugged the little girl, looked at the little life dotingly, and muttered to himself in a voice that others couldn't hear, making the little girl tilt her head and look at her father in confusion, trying to understand if she had heard something just now.

Li Tianyang collected his mood, looked up at Dong Haoran, and continued to ask, "When will it be the matter?" ”

"The Apocalypse is on the 23rd of August, and because of the distance, it has not been transmitted to our Chicken Coop Harbor until now!" Dong Haoran replied calmly.

"Send the news to Bengang, and inform the people in the logistics department that Chicken Coop Town will guard the spirit of the First Emperor from today!" Li Tianyang handed Qiong'er into the hands of the maid on the side, and then got up and stood up, the leisurely time is always so short, and then it is time to continue to struggle.

"I've been notified to prepare."

"Oh, by the way, continue to let people carefully inquire about the movements in the court to see who will be the most likely prince to ascend the throne."

"Yes."

In addition to serving as a channel for Li Tianyang to contact Li Yongzhen, Shi Yuanya and other fathers-in-law in the palace, in addition to giving money to each other through his filial piety on weekdays, the rest of the time, they have been in accordance with Li Tianyang's will, and they have been getting in touch with the princes in Beijing.

Emperor Zhu Youxiao has no queen, this is a well-known thing, folk rumors originally had an heir to the Empress of the Apocalypse, but she was killed by the stupid Wei Zhongxian and his opponent, Zhu Youxiao's little emperor's nurse Ke Shi, and she was infertile.

Thanks to the blessings of many TV movies in later generations, especially the film and television dramas such as "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", which has been adapted many times, and "Embroidered Spring Knife 2", Li Tianyang is no stranger to the name of the future emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen, so he has a better advantage than everyone else in this era, and he has a relationship with Zhu Youzhen, the prince of faith at this time.

Xinwang himself was not from a good background, but was born to a concubine Liu of Mingguangzong Zhu Changluo when he was the prince, and his biological mother Liu offended the prince when he was six years old and was killed by his rod.

After being exiled and raised by two imperial concubines, it was not until the second year of the Apocalypse that he was canonized as the king of letters by his brother, the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and lived in the palace of Miaoqin, which was considered to be settled.

When he was young, Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, was rarely cared for, except for his adoptive mother Concubine Li Zhuang, he rarely received family care in the huge palace.

When his adoptive mother, Concubine Li Zhuang, was unwilling to be with Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family because she was upright, she suffered from the other party's difficulties in the palace, so she ended up depressed, in fact, she had already laid the groundwork for Zhu Youzhen to purge the eunuchs after he came to power.

Li Tianyang entrusted the blessing of the prophets of later generations, and after having a relationship with King Xin early, he naturally did not forget to investigate his likes and dislikes, and when he knew the other party's dislike for the eunuch party, Li Tianyang secretly did not help King Xin investigate what the eunuch party did in Beijing in order to get rid of the label of the eunuch party.

Of course, at the beginning, Li Tianyang himself relied on the black history of the eunuch party's ascension, and Li Tianyang did not hide from this seemingly young, but in fact he was smart and precocious, and it took a lot of effort for Li Tianyang to stay in Beijing to get the approval of the king of Xin.

There is no way, although Zhu Youzhen was canonized by his brother as the king of letters, but in fact, his life is still poor, and his foundation in the court is really shallow, no one will pay attention to such a prince, let alone speculate on the cold stove.

It was only Li Tianyang, who took care of King Xin's life in Beijing in the past two years when he was poor, and his own relationship with Li Yongzhen, a eunuch, made King Xin's life in Beijing much better in the past two years.

Moreover, Li Tianyang funded the other party's money, so that Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, also received a few right-hand men in the court.

And Li Tianyang's side is also not without gains, because he got in touch with Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, early, and used money and practical actions to show this prince of faith that they have long drawn a clear line between Hongmen and the eunuchs. In the future, when King Xin ascended the throne, with the funding of today's Hongmen, they would no longer be regarded as a gang of eunuchs.

In fact, Li Tianyang didn't think about being like other crossings, betting heavily on this Xin prince, and he couldn't say that he would be able to rise to the top because of this, settle in the court, and become the henchman of the future Emperor Chongzhen.

It is impossible to say that the entire history of the Ming Dynasty will change because of this, and even the entire history of China will be turned upside down.

But Li Tianyang didn't grasp this best opportunity, because he knew very well how great his ability was, and in the face of those three princes and six kings in the court who had been immersed in officialdom for countless years, I was afraid that Li Tianyang would be eaten by the other party even to the bones.

Moreover, Li Tianyang knows very well that the Ming Dynasty at this time is difficult to return, and it is not something that can be changed by one person, even if Li Tianyang is trusted by Emperor Chongzhen and ascends to the position of the first assistant, can he really change the future of the Ming Dynasty?

The truth is, it can't be!
