Sometimes, Li Ruyue's words are more effective than Zheng Ming's.

"Come on, let's go and see."

Zheng Ming left the Hall of Mental Cultivation and walked towards the Royal Garden.

It was June at this time, and the flowers in the imperial garden were in full bloom, and there were clusters of flowers. When you walk into it, you will feel the fragrance of the flowers.

Among the flowers, Wei Yu and Lian Xing were walking slowly, followed by a group of court ladies obediently.

"Meet Your Majesty."

Seeing Zheng Ming's arrival, everyone hurriedly saluted.

Zheng Ming stepped forward, helped Wei Yu up, and said with a smile, "You are pregnant, why should you be so polite?"

At this time, Wei Yu's belly bulged slightly, her pretty face was full of maternal brilliance, her bright eyes were full of tenderness, and she buried her previous heroic demeanor deep in her heart.

"Your Majesty! The concubines are not so delicate!"

Feeling Zheng Ming's concern, Wei Yu smiled.

Zheng Ming supported her, and said with a smile, "I know, but there is nothing wrong with being careful."

Wei Yu's pregnancy is not a trivial matter. Zheng Ming has been on the throne for three or four years, and finally he is going to have an heir, which is a major event.

For the royal family, this is the inheritance, and for the court, it is the foundation of the country.

Regardless of whether the child is a boy or a girl, at least one thing has been proved, that is, Zheng Ming has a son.

Zheng Ming walked with Wei Yu and Lian Xing for a while, and returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation after having lunch together.

……

Dali spread the document of taking over Xiyun Province of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and another storm broke out in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Before the Great Zhou Chaotang could respond, Gao Shun, the Protectorate General of the Southern War Zone of Dali, led the Nanshan Army and Gui Ningqi into the territory of the Great Zhou.

Although there are only 10,000+ troops, they are like a tiger coming out of the mountain, and they are flying towards them. Wherever they pass, no matter they are aristocratic families, civil servants or military generals, they all bow their heads and surrender.

In recent years, the Great Zhou Dynasty has been defeated twice in a row by Dali's army. Let alone some local officials and garrisons, even the main force of the Great Zhou did not dare to face Dali's front. enemy.

The 10,000+ army walked around Xiyun Province, except for a few stubborn diehards who didn't know each other, they hardly encountered any battles.

In just one month, Xiyun Province was controlled by Gao Shun.

And the southern part of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The royal family has no way, and the world cuts it down.

This slogan resounded throughout Dazhou.

The 30 army, led by Jin Yiwei and Yu Guogong's mansion, swept across the four southern provinces, and then marched towards the imperial capital.

After some hesitation, many military generals and official families made choices one after another and became the vanguard of the rebellion.

Great Zhou Imperial Capital.

in the hall.

The little Emperor Zhou sat on a dragon chair, the Empress Dowager Zhou hung behind the curtain, and King Xuan stood upright in front of all the officials.

All officials, civil and military, kept silent like a chilling cicada.

Everyone is in danger, everyone is uneasy, and there is a look of panic on their faces.

Now the situation has reached the point of no return, with Dali in the north staring at it, and entrenched forces attacking in the south, the imperial capital is isolated in the center, with no foreign aid or strong army.

It seems that the day of Great Zhou's destruction is just around the corner.

Little Zhou Huang is now ten years old, with a pure white and delicate face, wearing a neat dragon robe, and a pair of bright eyes with a stubborn look.

Although he is still very young, he already understands his situation, and he wants to change the situation in Dazhou, but unfortunately all this came too early for him.

The Empress Dowager Zhou sat behind the curtain, feeling the panic atmosphere in the court hall, and couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness in her heart.

Whose fault was it for the defeat of the Great Zhou Dynasty?

she couldn't help asking herself.

Recalling the past, she suddenly discovered that Da Zhou's defeat actually started with the first national war with Da Li.

Before that, although there were many problems in Da Zhou, they were not fatal. If the situation could be maintained and her son grew up, Da Zhou might be able to regain his glory.

It's a pity that they were defeated in that battle, and the defeat was complete. Not only did they lose hundreds of thousands of elite troops, but they also lost a province in Yunnan.

But the second battle with Da Li consumed most of the last foundation of Da Zhou. At the same time, under the persecution of Dao Yuanzong, they also lost the remaining three provinces in the north of Yunshang River.

The defeat of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not happen overnight, but was caused by various factors.

The rise of Da Li, Da Zhou's own problems, Dao Yuanzong's persecution, and the Queen Mother Zhou's decision are all the reasons for Da Zhou's current situation.

Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager Zhou felt even more miserable.

She has paid too much for the continuation of the Great Zhou Dynasty. In the end, she even ignored her own reputation, but she still couldn't recover a little bit of decline.

In the court hall, King Xuan looked at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.

"Do you courtiers have a good strategy to retreat from the enemy?

he asked with a gloomy face.

Although Prince Xuan's Mansion is the most powerful branch of the Great Zhou royal family, how strong can a royal mansion be?

Now that he has emptied his family and summoned all the royal families, he only managed to gather an army of 30, and the original imperial capital's forbidden army was only [-].

He still had some confidence in the face of the rebels, but he was also very panicked in the face of Da Li.

In the court hall, there are hundreds of civil and military officials, but no one speaks.

Seeing this, King Xuan's heart fell to the bottom of the valley.

"Queen!" He turned to look behind the curtain.

The Empress Dowager Zhou said in a deep voice: "The Ai family is tired, let's retreat."

After speaking, she got up and walked away slowly.

Emperor Zhou hesitated for a moment, then followed and left.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty dispersed one after another, leaving only King Xuan standing in the hall for a long time.

"Is it really impossible to keep my Great Zhou Dynasty!"

He clenched his fists and murmured softly.

As the royal family of the Great Zhou, he naturally did not want the Great Zhou to be destroyed.

But faced with such a situation, he also felt deeply hopeless.

Chapter 243 The Empress Dowager Zhou's Hatred

In the harem of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The Empress Dowager Zhou stepped back and looked at her son, Qing Ling's eyes were like a breach, and a series of teardrops flowed down.

"Mother!" Zhou Huang's immature face was full of grief.

The Empress Dowager Zhou took a deep breath and said, "Che'er, we won't be emperors anymore, okay?"

Her voice trembled a little.

Emperor Zhou was taken aback when he heard the words. Since he was a child, the Empress Dowager Zhou had been teaching him how to be an emperor and how to be a wise emperor.But now the Queen Mother Zhou actually told him that she would not be the emperor, which made him a little unbelievable.

The Empress Dowager Zhou said sadly: "The Queen Mother can no longer keep the Great Zhou Dynasty~~"

"But, where can we go if we don't become emperor?" Zhou Huang said.

Empress Dowager Zhou said: "Go to a place where no one can find it."

"Is it possible?" Zhou Huang raised his head and looked at her, a little disapproving and a little confused.

He is only ten years old, and although his mind is precocious, he is still unable to make such a major decision.

Empress Dowager Zhou's eyes flashed with uncertain brilliance, and she said: "Yes, we will definitely be able to."

Abandoning the Great Zhou Dynasty was the final decision she made.

For her, her son's life is more important than the dynasty.

Even if there is no dynasty, her son will still live, even if he becomes an ordinary person, he must live well in this world.

This is a helpless decision, if there are other opportunities, she will never make such a decision.

Daoyuanzong closed the mountain, Yu Guogong's mansion rebelled, the rebel army rose up, and the Wanmin Book, all of which are behind Dali's black hands.

While there is no hard evidence, things are so obvious that no proof is needed.

Facing such a mighty Dali Dynasty, she was already powerless.

"Come in!"

she called softly.

"Your Majesty!" An old eunuch walked into the room.

"Take Your Majesty away." The Queen Mother Zhou whispered.

The old eunuch looked down at Emperor Zhou and said, "Your Majesty, please come with your slaves."

The Emperor Zhou looked at the Queen Mother hesitantly, and the Queen Mother stretched out her hand to push him, and said, "Emperor, let's go, the Queen Mother has prepared everything for you. From now on, you must forget about the Great Zhou Dynasty and live well."

"Isn't the queen mother with the children?" Zhou Huang asked.

"The queen mother can't leave yet, you go first, the queen mother will catch up with you after a while."

The Empress Dowager Zhou gave him another push.

Zhou Huang's eyes drooped slightly, he nodded vigorously, and said, "The queen mother must come to find my son."

There are things he understands, but even knowing it is useless.

Seeing the figure disappearing in front of the door, the Empress Dowager Zhou closed her eyes tightly, and a crystal teardrop ran across her cheek.

The next moment, she opened her eyes suddenly, and the pool of autumn water turned blood red.

"Da Li, Dao Yuanzong."

"You will pay for it!"

……

In the dark tomb, a wandering flame trembled slightly.

There are two sarcophagi in the middle of the high stone platform, one of which has been sealed with a lid.

The Empress Dowager Zhou walked slowly to the sarcophagus in a long crimson dress.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is here!"

She reached out and brushed the cold sarcophagus.

"Ma'am, is this really the case?"

Beside him, a middle-aged man in Taoist robe asked in a deep voice.

Empress Dowager Zhou raised her head, looked at him with eyes like blood, and said, "Don't you hate it?"

"Your father is still imprisoned by Dali, and your brothers and sons all died in Dali's rebellious army. Don't you hate it?"

The middle-aged man lowered his head and said hoarsely, "Hate!"

"It's right to hate! Haha~~ The Ai family also hates, wishing for Daoyuanzong to be destroyed, wishing for Dali to be destroyed, wishing for Emperor Li to never be reborn forever."

"There are also those rebellious officials and thieves, the Ai family wants them to die."

The beautiful face of the Empress Dowager Zhou became extremely ferocious.

"But doing so will kill many innocent people." The middle-aged man hesitated.

"They are the people of the Great Zhou, and they must be loyal to the Great Zhou even if they die. The Ai family doesn't want to say any more, so you can make arrangements." The Queen Mother looked at him and said.

The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes, and finally nodded.

In the cemetery, a deadly wind blew around, howling incessantly.

Under the dark night, the entire Great Zhou Palace seemed to be shrouded in a layer of black-gray mist.
