How come there are two emperors?

"Ah? What did you say?" Many people present were shocked.

The news brought by Zhang Tianhao surprised them so much that they didn't react for a while. There was only one thought in their minds, that is: Emperor Wanli died? Emperor Wanli, who ruled the Ming Dynasty for 46 years, died like this?

Although the White Army had risen to rebel, everyone's goal was to overthrow the court and overthrow Emperor Wanli. However, when they suddenly heard the news of his death, everyone was still a little strange. No matter what, he was an emperor, right? The word emperor is probably very important in everyone's mind.

Sawanna said in surprise: "No way?"

Gao Yigong also said very cautiously: "Is the news accurate?"

Xuanyingwei's owl said: "It's true, it's been confirmed again and again."

"It's dead..." Xu Xingxia quietly muttered to himself, his eyes a little wandering. He vaguely remembered that Emperor Wanli should have passed away two years later. In the historical era, there is also the forty-eighth year of Wanli. The Battle of Sarhu seemed to break out in the forty-seventh year of Wanli. It was precisely because of the failure of the Battle of Sarhu that Emperor Wanli suffered a great blow and his condition suddenly worsened. He was ultimately not rescued, so he died.

Could it be that it was because of his own appearance that the historical process had undergone great changes? There was no problem with Emperor Wanli's death. However, it is hard to say whether there would be any changes in the Ming Dynasty after his death. Will Nurhaci launch an attack in advance? How can the Ming Dynasty redistribute power within the Ming Dynasty? These are all fatal problems. Emperor Wanli has a relatively strong control ability. Now that he has passed away, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will really start to be in turmoil and be in peace.

"Has Emperor Taichang ascended the throne?" Xu Xingxia suddenly asked.

"Emperor Taichang?" Zhang Tianhao said in a slight surprise.

He didn't know which Emperor Taichang was. Xuanyingwei had only received the news of Emperor Wanli's death, but had not received the news of Zhu Changluo's ascension to the throne, so he naturally did not know the Taichang reign.

Xu Xingxia realized that he was messing around again and lost control, so she casually said, "It's the new emperor. I seem to hear someone tell me that if the new emperor ascends the throne, the year name is very likely to choose Taichang."

Zhang Tianhao then felt relieved, shook his head and said, "It's not clear yet, the owl's information has not been explained. Maybe it's a few more days to wait."

Xu Xingxia said decisively: "Let's go! Go back to Ningxia Town immediately!"

Such a big thing happened in the Central Plains, so Xu Xingxia would of course have to rush back immediately. No matter how the Ming Dynasty changed, it would no longer cause substantial harm to him. However, if the White Army did not get any benefits from such a big change, it would be too stupid. You were trapped in the northwest region in vain and did not take the initiative to attack, and others would not thank you. They would only say that you were a fool and would not seize such a good opportunity.

On the way back to Ningxia Town, more news came

Zhu Changluo, the prince who had been withered for decades, finally became emperor. It is said that before the official ascendance of the throne, there was a small storm. However, the specific content of the storm is unknown. Under the support of a number of ministers, Zhu Changluo officially ascended the throne as emperor in the Forbidden City in Nanjing. At the same time, the reign of the reign of Taichang was changed to the next year as the first year of Taichang.

After receiving this news, Zhang Tianhao was very strange and a little suspicious. He said to himself: "How did the Chairman know in advance that the reign of Taichang will be changed? His news is really sensitive! The new emperor has really changed the reign of Taichang. Could it be that the relationship between the princess? But hasn't the princess completely broken up with the other side? How did she know?"

While he was suspicious, new news came, and there seemed to be an emperor in Beijing. This emperor was King Fu. With the support of his mother Concubine Zheng and some ministers, King Fu actually ascended the throne of the emperor. His title was exactly the same as Zhu Changluo before, and he was the governor of Beijing. Even the time he ascended the throne was earlier than Zhu Changluo in the south. After all, the moon was the first to be near the water! The news of Emperor Wanli's death would take at least three days to pass from Beijing to Nanjing.

"What's going on?"

"How come there are two emperors?"

Zhang Tianhao looked at Xu Xingxia in shock, with a confused look on his face.

There are no two rulers in the country. What is King Fu doing? Is he going to usurp the throne?

Xu Xingxia didn't care much. Is the two emperors strange? It's good if three emperors were not created! Originally, Emperor Wanli wanted to pass the throne to King Fu, but it was not successful because of the opposition of the ministers. This time, Emperor Wanli suddenly died, which just gave King Fu a great opportunity. At the same time, this was also his only chance to get to power. If he didn't seize it, he would never have a chance in the future.

He, who was originally a vassal of Luoyang, was said to have quietly arrived in Tianjin at the beginning of the year. He claimed to be called to stay in medical treatment.

As for what disease he had, no one knew. Because, under the halo of Taiji going to Nanjing to supervise the country, there were actually very few people who noticed him. Even if someone thought that this might be a excuse from King Fu, he just thought that King Fu might have been to avoid the edge of the White Army. After all, under the direct threat of the White Army, Luoyang was too unsafe. He was the most beloved son of Emperor Wanli, so naturally it was impossible for him to face the White Army's butcher knife directly. He acquiesced to escape to Tianjin Guards was just to give him a safer place.

As a result, no one expected that Emperor Wanli had just gone to Nanjing to supervise the country and Emperor Wanli suddenly died. Obviously, there was definitely a manipulator behind this matter. Moreover, this manipulator was quite clever. The choice of Tianjin Wei was really good. Tianjin Wei was so close to Beijing that fast horses could only arrive at one night. He must have received the news much earlier than Zhu Changluo, and he could use much more time.

The Taiji Zhu Changluo was sent to Nanjing to supervise the country, which actually has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it is justified and no one will compete with him for the throne of Taiji. Even King Fu dare not openly seek the throne of Taiji. As long as there is no accident, Taiji's succession is sure to succeed. The disadvantage is that Nanjing is too far away from Beijing, and information transmission takes time. What is important to happen in Beijing? When Nanjing knows it, the daylily has already become cold.

"What is Wanli's will?" Xu Xingxia suddenly asked.

This is the key to the problem. King Fu Zhu Changxun dared to ascend the throne in Beijing, so he must have the will of Emperor Wanli as a talisman, otherwise he would not have the courage. In fact, even if he had the courage, it would be useless. Because the ministers would not cooperate at all. However, if there was the will of Emperor Wanli, it would be different. If one more thing was added, I would be in a hurry to follow the power, I am afraid that there would still be some supporters.

What exactly is the "thing" in this matter that is urgently in power? Of course, it is Xu Xingxia's white-clothed army. Now the white-clothed army directly threatens the capital, and the powerful and powerful people in the capital feel pressured. Now that Emperor Wanli suddenly dies, Tai Chi is in the distant Nanjing and Beijing city, and there is not even a person in charge. How can that be done? Under the promotion of those who are interested, King Fu first absorbs power in the name of the state and then directly ascends the throne to the emperor. This is natural.

There is no doubt that Zhu Changluo, the new emperor in Nanjing, could never have such a ridiculous thing. How could he let King Fu ascend the throne? This was simply a rebellion and a usurpation of the throne! However, in a short period of time, he was afraid that there was no substantial solution except for public condemnation and loud scolding. Because the Ming Dynasty did not have too many military troops around Nanjing. On the contrary, there were quite a few military troops around the capital.

"Sir, what do you mean is that King Fu has the support of the military team? All the military teams around the capital support King Fu?" Zhang Tianhao asked subconsciously.

"I'm just guessing, I don't know exactly." Xu Xingxia shook her head and said.

The Ming Dynasty was about to split into two groups, and historical development entered an unprecedented track, but Xu Xingxia's speculation was only the Donglin Party. It is very likely that the Donglin Party members had a quarrel with the military team, which caused the two sides to have a grudge. Or, the Donglin Party members neglected the military team, so that the military team generals were willing to support King Fu instead of His Highness Tailong. Because the Tailong Zhu Changluo was almost surrounded by the Donglin Party. With the Donglin Party's domineering personality, it is not surprising that such a thing was done.

However, in general, there should be more people supporting Nanjing. After all, Emperor Taichang of Nanjing City is the truly legitimate emperor. For his throne, the ministers had fought with Emperor Wanli for decades and would rather die than give in. No matter how the Fu King who came out halfway deceived Emperor Wanli to issue a last order, they were suspected of usurping the throne. It is estimated that the Donglin Party’s demise should have been issued soon. Speaking of pen and verbal, other ministers are definitely not opponents of the Donglin Party.

Unfortunately, support is support, division is division. The Donglin Party’s proclamation for the throne of King Fu, it is probably difficult to drive King Fu off the throne of the emperor. Even Nanjing City may be difficult to protect itself. King Fu is not a fuel-efficient lamp. What’s more, behind him, there are also the support of Concubine Zheng. The Fuwang Party’s followers should also be some.
