But now that they have a common enemy, Fourteenth Prince can no longer worry about his own ambitions.

As a descendant of the Aisin Gioro family, he now naturally felt that Tang Yu was even more hateful, and wished he could tear her to pieces!

"Do I not want to kill this witch? But her whereabouts are completely unpredictable, how can I kill her!"

"Then issue a nationwide warrant for his arrest! How long are you going to keep hiding this?"

There was no nationwide manhunt before because doing so would have been tantamount to admitting that all the previous events were done by a woman.

That would be a huge embarrassment to the Manchu imperial family!

"Your Majesty, my fourteenth brother acted impulsively. If we issue a nationwide warrant for his arrest, it will only draw all the anti-Qing people to this woman's side. That would be unwise!"

After the Fourteenth Prince left, the Thirteenth Prince Yinxiang calmly offered his advice, and the Fourth Prince Yinzhen naturally understood this principle.

"But this woman comes and goes without a trace, yet she can kill people in the capital. Father Emperor died just like that. I rack my brains but can't figure out how to kill this vixen!"

Thirteenth Prince Yinxiang did have an idea.

"Fourth Brother, this woman's aim is always directed at our Aisin Gioro descendants; she will surely return to the capital."

We might as well lay a trap and gather all our elite forces in the capital; we'll surely be able to kill this woman. Rather than passively retaliating, we should take the initiative…”

At this time, many small groups of people had begun to rebel in the south, and the whole country seemed to be a pot of water about to boil.

Tang Yu did indeed return to the capital, just as the Thirteenth Prince Yinxiang had predicted.

Meanwhile, the capital city mobilized all its elite troops and deployed artillery and other weapons, intending to trap and kill her like a turtle in a jar.

Tang Yu has changed his plans; he will kill whoever ascends the throne.

Let's see which descendant of the Aisin Gioro family dares to become emperor!

Therefore, the fourth prince, Yinzhen, originally thought that he had laid a trap and would surely be able to kill this woman and intimidate the Han people of the world.

Let all the Han people in the world continue to be obedient slaves. Don't think that having this kind of power can turn the world upside down!

However, Tang Yu took the fourth prince, Yinzhen, directly to the city wall where Kangxi's head had once been displayed.

"You...you are a witch! You will go to hell! I am the emperor! You have committed such a treasonous act, you will surely be torn to pieces and never be reincarnated!"

Yinzhen's eyes widened in anger, his voice trembling as he still roared with all his might.

"Even if I die by your hand today, countless others will come to tear you to pieces! You monster, you will be punished by heaven sooner or later!"

Despite his strong words, Yinzhen's body trembled slightly with fear, and his legs were almost unsteady.

"You actually believe in Buddhism? Since you think that doing evil deeds will send you to hell and never be reincarnated, then those ghosts who massacred so many Han people in the south are waiting for you down there!"

After saying this, Tang Yu stabbed the person in front of him to death with a knife, and then hung the person's body on the city wall.

Chapter 7, Step by Step, Heart-Stopping

Kangxi died in humiliation, which was shameful and shocked the world, but it was not enough to make all the Aisin Gioro family members despair.

They could make up excuses for what happened, saying the guards were incompetent or that they underestimated the enemy.

But after the fourth prince, Yinzhen, became emperor, he died hanging on the city wall again. Although this time it wasn't his head that was hung, but his whole body, does it make any difference?

Sometimes, psychological trauma is more devastating than physical violence!

At least the Aisin Gioro family members are almost driven mad, and the entire court is in complete chaos.

No one even dared to vie for the throne at this time, as everyone felt that the next person to die would be the one to become emperor.

The entire capital was terrified and no one dared to come out on the streets or in the alleys.

Even the Eight Banners ministers didn't dare to come out and discuss who should be emperor, as everyone was afraid of losing their lives.

The entire court was paralyzed. Although news from outside the capital could still get in, no one cared anymore.

At this time, the war in the Northwest was escalating rapidly. Without the imperial court's dispatch of provisions and troops to help, the country was suffering repeated defeats.

In the southern provinces, half of them have already been engulfed in the flames of rebellion.

Apart from a few provinces surrounding the capital, it is no exaggeration to say that the entire south has already raised the flag of rebellion!

The flames of war spread rapidly across the entire land of China with an unstoppable force.

The thirteenth prince, Yinxiang, wanted to organize the imperial clan to take charge of the overall situation. He even planned to appease the Han officials and share the benefits to salvage the current situation.

However, several hereditary princes, including the Imperial Clan Head, stayed at home and did not go out. Only the Fourteenth Prince, Yinzhen, was filled with righteous indignation and wanted to lead his army out to kill people!

Even if they are family, when disaster strikes, they only want to fly away separately.

Someone even directly replied with a single sentence: "You should become the emperor first, then you can order us around!"

The emperor became a hot potato: If you want to order us around, you should become emperor first.

That's what everyone says: Whoever wants to be emperor, let him be emperor!

Theoretically speaking, the fourth prince isn't without his own sons, so the eldest prince, Hongshi, should be the emperor. But now everyone is afraid!

Hongshi refused to become emperor and wanted to pass the throne to his younger brother Hongli.

Although Hongli was a little scared, he wanted to be emperor even more.

"Uncle Thirteen, I'm not afraid. If no one steps forward at this time, what will become of the world!"

Thirteen's tears flowed down his face; he was now caught in a dilemma.

He wanted to support his fourth brother's son to ascend the throne and stabilize the country, but he was also afraid that his fourth brother's son would die after ascending the throne!

"What are you hesitating for at this point? Don't you know, Thirteenth Brother? That group of people are already carrying large and small bags of gold and silver jewelry, ready to run back to Manchuria!"

The fourteenth prince, Yinzhen, roared in anger.

He never expected that when the world was in chaos, the descendants of Aisin Gioro would not unite, and that this group of people had already secretly planned to flee the capital!

"If one or two of them run away, wouldn't we be handing over the world to others? We still have so much food and money, and such a large army. How can we just admit defeat like this?"

"Thirteenth Brother, I will protect Hongli, even if it means dying here and being shattered to pieces. It's far better than being a shameful coward who runs away!"

Hongli shuddered; he didn't want to die! With so many people protecting him as emperor, he shouldn't die, right?

Thirteenth Prince Yinxiang had no choice; without an emperor to take charge, there was no way to bring the rest of the people together.

So she could only agree to this suggestion, and then looked at Hongli with tears in her eyes.

Will he be able to protect his fourth brother's son this time?

After Yinxiang announced that Hongli had ascended the throne, the people in the capital did not react much. They didn't care whoever ascended the throne, as long as it wasn't them.

But then, Yinxiang was able to summon everyone together in the name of the emperor to discuss matters.

If anyone refuses, Yinxiang and Yinti will also show their ruthless methods at this time. Anyone who dares to disobey orders will be executed!

These measures instantly shocked the Manchu nobles and imperial relatives in the capital.

The group of people had no choice but to obediently follow orders and gather together to discuss serious matters, such as how to salvage the current downward trend.

But privately, a large group of people have already decided to rebel.

Those who remain in the capital are visibly waiting to die. Who's going to play the game of saving the country with you?

The Manchu nobles were never fit to be emperors; at this point, they just wanted to survive.

As for those distant collateral descendants of the Aisin Gioro family, they were even less inclined to stay in the capital.

Everyone wanted to run away while they still had some gold and silver jewelry left!

As a result, two forces emerged in the capital.

The royalist party, led by the thirteenth prince Yinxiang and the fourteenth prince Yinti, wanted to keep everyone in the capital, unite the remaining people, and then kill those who resisted.

The escape party, led by the Eight Banners nobles, wanted to leave the capital and save the lives of their families and descendants.

So the two sides clashed directly in the capital, each drawing their own troops and weapons.

In such a chaotic situation, the gates of the capital city were naturally opened.

The number of people wanting to flee far exceeds the strength of the royalists.

Therefore, these Manchu nobles all took their gold and silver treasures and fled north.

Tang Yu was waiting on the north side of this road, ready to rob whoever came.

Instead of searching for gold and silver treasures in the capital, it would be better to wait for everyone to collect them along this escape route.

During this process, Tang Yu does not kill anyone.

She only asked them to hand over their gold and silver jewelry, and then let them run north.

Because if they went north, their situation would only get worse.

There was a group of Manchus in the north who said, "Do not let the Qing emperor return to the east."

Class contradictions are always the greatest contradictions in the world.

Not all Manchus lived a good life; only the Eight Banners lived a good life.

In order to enable the Manchus to continue fighting, the Manchu imperial family forbade the Solon people from living an agricultural life and confined them to the Northeast, where they could only fish and hunt, forcing them to continue living a life of hunger, because they believed that this was the only way to maintain the fighting capacity of this group.

Then when war came, these people were thrown onto the battlefield again. Even after they made meritorious contributions, they were not given any good treatment and were sent back to the Northeast to continue their miserable lives.

Therefore, the population of this ethnic group is constantly decreasing, and they are almost wiped out by the Manchus.

The people they hated most were the Manchu imperial family, and they even wanted to overthrow the Qing and restore the Ming.

This is similar to when Zhu Yuanzhang rebelled; a large number of his soldiers were from the lower classes of Mongolia, and these people also wanted to destroy Mongolia.

Tang Yu had already made a deal with this group of people, arranging for someone to transport grain and cloth to them. So he let these Eight Banners people flee north. Once they escaped, they would know what revenge was.

Of course, Tang Yu had already gathered a group of people under his command, including low-level tenant farmers, people who had been wrongly imprisoned, and people who had been rescued from brothels.

During the escape of the Eight Banners, Tang Yu made another trip to the capital.

“I killed your grandfather and your father here, and today you will die here too.”

Hongli shouted in terror.

"I...I haven't done anything! You...you have to let me go!"

Tang Yu smiled faintly.
