At this time, [Note] Concubine Liu happened to come. Concubine Liu gave birth to a daughter for Chongzhen, but unfortunately this daughter died prematurely. At that time, when Princess Kunxing saw her sister born, she hugged her sister and played. She knew nothing, so she ran away as soon as she hugged her and then fell down. Princess Kunxing protected her sister with her body, but her sister did not fall.

Moreover, after more than ten days, nothing happened, but unexpectedly, a month later, my sister fell ill and died soon after.

Concubine Liu blamed Princess Kunxing and thought that it was Princess Kunxing who killed it, so Concubine Liu wanted to kill Princess Kunxing!

[Note]: The records of Concubine Liu, Concubine Fang, and Concubine Chen are all found in the "Guoqian" written by Tan Qian, a famous historian who lived in the late Ming Dynasty.

Since Concubine Liu was the niece of Concubine Liu Zhao and supported by her aunt, Concubine Liu was quite powerful in the palace. In addition, he colluded with Concubine Tian, ​​Concubine Fang, Concubine Chen, etc., which is also famous in the palace.

Concubine Liu looked at Princess Kunxing in disgust. She kept thinking about how to harm Princess Kunxing, but she never had a chance. She heard Zhang Biwu's heroic deeds, and the princess favored Zhang Biwu, which made her very jealous. She must not let Princess Kunxing and Zhang Biwu be together!

She smiled and bowed first, then asked, "Master, what's the matter so happy?"

Chongzhen smiled and said, "Haha! I am of course very happy with my pistachio!"

When Concubine Liu heard this, she was very unhappy. She said, "Your Majesty, I heard that the great hero Zhang Biwu is coming! In the past, Jinan killed the chief king Yuetuo and Mazhan, and now he rescued the generals in Songshan. He is such a great hero! What a pity! He has married, but he still has two wives! One is still a woman from a foreign country! Alas! There are so many good women in our Ming Dynasty, why do we have to marry a foreign country woman? Zhang Biwu has an eldest son! It was born to his wife!"

Concubine Liu said this on purpose, trying to use it to anger the princess. At the same time, she was also reminding Chongzhen that according to the royal rules, it was almost impossible to recruit Zhang Biwu as her son-in-law.

However, Chongzhen is still worried about Zhang Biwu now. Is he going to punish Zhang Biwu? Chongzhen has not decided yet! After all, ministers in the court are constantly writing memorials to impeach Zhang Biwu, which makes Chongzhen undecided. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty has regulations that royal relatives cannot interfere in the affairs of the court. After Zhang Biwu became the son-in-law, would he not lead troops to fight or go to court to discuss matters? Isn’t that the general Ji? These are all the concerns of Chongzhen.

Now when Chongzhen heard what Liu Fei said, he couldn't help but nodded again. Even if Princess Kunxing likes Zhang Biwu, she can't marry Princess Kunxing to Zhang Biwu! This is related to the decency of the royal family! If she wants to marry a bureaucratic family, she has no one to marry!

Concubine Liu felt satisfied, and Chongzhen heard everything she said. She smiled and left.

Concubine Liu found Gao Qiqian. Gao Qiqian wanted to harm Zhang Biwu. She had known it for a long time. She said, "Eunuch Gao, you should have heard that the court is talking about punishing Zhang Biwu's crime! If Zhang Biwu is not guilty and becomes a great hero, I guess you are the one who is the most unhappy, right?"

"Oh?" Gao Qiqian was stunned. He looked at Concubine Liu and asked, "Madam, what trick do you have?" Gao Qiqian and Concubine Liu had already colluded, so there was no need to disguise or hide anything anymore.

Concubine Liu smiled and said, "Princess Kunxing is interesting to Zhang Biwu, you should know that? You have repeatedly hurt Zhang Biwu and failed. What is the reason? It is because of Princess Kunxing! If Princess Kunxing and Zhang Biwu are unlucky together, what do you think?"

"Ah!" Gao Qiqian was stunned. He still didn't understand what Liu Fei meant. Is there any way to make Zhang Biwu and Princess Kunxing go unlucky together? You must know that Princess Kunxing is deeply favored by Chongzhen and is the pearl in her hand. No matter who it is, she can't go against the princess!

Concubine Liu used her hand to signal Gao Qiqian to come over. Gao Qiqian obeyed Concubine Liu. He came over, kept nodding, looked happy, raised a thumbs up, and said, "Gao! It's really Gao! The Empress's brilliant plan! Haha! She deserves to be a female Zhuge!"

"Hehe!" Concubine Liu smiled. Even if she couldn't kill Princess Kunxing, at least she could make Princess Kunxing lose Chongzhen's favor! As long as she did not have Chongzhen's favor, it would be very easy for Princess Kunxing to hurt her!

Concubine Liu said in her heart: "Daughter, I want to avenge you! It's all Princess Kunxing who killed you! I must kill her!"

Of course, Gao Qiqian could see clearly. Knowing that Liu Fei did this, the spearhead was directed at Princess Kunxing. Zhang Biwu was just unlucky with Princess Kunxing! But this pair of Gao Qiqian was a good thing! Gao Qiqian hurried to do it.

On the other hand, Chongzhen was full of worries now, and he didn't say much, he wanted to go. Wang Chengen followed Chongzhen.

Chongzhen asked Wang Chengen: "Chengen, what do you think I should deal with Zhang Biwu?" Wang Chengen said hurriedly: "The emperor is wise and will be able to break the sage after seeing Zhang Biwu, and the people of the world will be convinced!"

Chongzhen smiled again and said, "Okay! I won't wait for Zhang Biwu to come! Go and review the memorial first!" As soon as Chongzhen finished speaking, he went back to Qianqing Palace to review the memorial, and Wang Chengen followed closely.

Chongzhen saw the memorial again, which mentioned that Hong Chengchou was taken to Shenyang. He was on a hunger strike while the Eastern Captains were constantly persuading Hong Chengchou to surrender.

Chongzhen sighed again. He was extremely concerned about this aspect and instructed Wu Sangui to find out the news. No matter whether Hong Chengchou dies or lives, he must find out clearly!

However, Chongzhen was extremely conceited in his heart. Hong Chengchou would definitely live up to the emperor's kindness and would die with his full reputation to repay the great kindness of the emperor and his father!

Another memorial mentioned that Tashan was under fierce attack by the Qing army and was in danger. Chongzhen secretly sent the Ministry of War doctor Ma Shaoyu to Tashan. He really wanted Ma Shaoyu to persuade the Qing soldiers not to attack Tashan, so that he could negotiate peace with the Eastern Barbarians. No! The word peace cannot be used in his heart, it can only be a pacification! Only by losing the face of the Celestial Empire can he preserve his reputation as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

Chongzhen thought of Yang Sichang's strong initiative to discuss peace, and Chen Xinjia also mentioned that he sent Hong Chengchou to lead an army of 130,000 to fight against Jinzhou, not to defeat the Qing army, but to repel the Qing army, so that he could have more bargaining chips to discuss peace with the Qing, but he did not expect to be defeated!

The move to negotiate peace is imperative. He cannot instruct Ma Shao to discuss peace with peace, but just let him stop the Qing army from attacking by peacekeeping. This is the best.

He saw another memorial saying that Zhang Biwu could not save Hong Chengchou, so Tashan and Liaodong would be lost. If Hong Chengchou could come back alive, even if Liaodong was lost, he would be able to recover after lying on firewood and tasting gall.

This hit Chongzhen's heart! The one who Chongzhen was most concerned about Songjin was Hong Chengchou! Suddenly, Chongzhen's fist clenched tightly, and he said hatefully: "Zhang Biwu..."

"Ah" Wang Chengen was so scared that he knelt down. Did Chongzhen really make up his mind to punish Zhang Biwu?

Zhang Biwu didn't know that there were already waves of discussions around him in the capital. Now he rushed to the capital with great speed. After all, he heard Wu Sangui's warning. How dare he delay the imperial edict? As soon as he could, he would rush back to Beijing as quickly as possible!

As soon as Zhang Biwu arrived in Beijing, it was already sunset. What he never expected was that there was someone waiting for him! And this person was Princess Kunxing!

"What?" Zhang Biwu was shocked. He didn't understand why Princess Kunxing appeared here? It was considered as a waiting for the surrender!

Princess Kunxing looked at Zhang Biwu and didn't know what to say, but stood there in a state of silence. Zhang Biwu wondered in his heart, there were so many rules in the palace, so how did Princess Kunxing leave the palace?

Zhang Biwu didn't know that Princess Kunxing's departure from the palace to see him would cause him great trouble, especially as he was about to meet Emperor Chongzhen, which would make Chongzhen determined to punish him! And even Princess Kunxing would be blamed, and all this was caused by Concubine Liu.

Zhang Biwu had nothing to say about the fourteen-year-old princess. She thought that Princess Kunxing was too spoiled and the princess had a too big temper. This was not what Zhang Biwu liked. According to Zhang Biwu's statement - I am not interested in little girls!

At this moment, the eunuch in the palace came out and wanted to announce the order to let Zhang Biwu enter the palace to meet the saint. Of course, this eunuch was asked by Gao Qiqian, and Princess Kunxing was designed by Liu Concubine Liu. Princess Kunxing's appearance in front of Zhang Biwu was also designed.

When the eunuch Xuanzhi saw Princess Kunxing and Zhang Biwu together, he was stunned because the sun had already set off. What kind of identity is Princess Kunxing? It is worth not to come out of the deep palace, so how could he leave the palace privately? Who let Princess Kunxing out of the palace?

Although he had questions in his heart, the eunuch Xuanyu still saluted Princess Kunxing and proclaimed the imperial edict to Zhang Biwu, and Chongzhen summoned Zhang Biwu into the palace.

Zhang Biwu agreed, and he wanted to enter the palace to meet Chongzhen. The eunuch Xuanzhi went back to report his orders first, but the eunuch Xuanzhi saw Princess Kunxing here, so he asked Princess Kunxing to return to the palace as soon as possible. Princess Kunxing said that she would enter the palace with Zhang Biwu.

Princess Kunxing just doesn't know how to avoid suspicion. When she appears in front of Zhang Biwu, she will lose the royal face. Chongzhen, who has always attached great importance to face the most, will be angry and will harm Zhang Biwu at that time.

Of course, the eunuch announced the imperial eunuch did not dare to care about the royal affairs, so he went back and reported his life quickly. However, he would not hide anything about Princess Kunxing and Zhang Biwu, and would tell Chongzhen everything.
