Li Dingguo left with Lu Ming in charge of Zhou Xian's order. They would rush to Tai'an and rely on Li Dingguo's prestige to accept the captive generals of the Longwu army who were unwilling to surrender before. Li Dingguo temporarily ruled all the cavalrymen in Shandong as the commander, and selected generals according to his ideas to reorganize the cavalry.

Jinse came to the backyard with a rice trunk in her hand. "Second Young Master, have something to eat!" As she said that, she opened the lid of the rice trunk and wanted to take out the food.

Zhou Xian waved his hand to stop her, "How is the prince?"

Jinse shook her head, "I have eaten very little, and the princess has been with him." Seeing Zhou Xian frowning, Jinse hesitated for a while, and said, "Second Master, you should go and see Your Highness the Princess! When I went over, she kept crying and her eyes were swollen. There were also two little princes and little princess, who kept crying and saying they wanted to see him... The prince and the princess didn't care about them at this moment, and it looked so pitiful."

Zhou Xian sighed silently, nodded and said, "Cover the lid and I'll take it over. By the way, Jinse, what do children like?"

Jinse said "ah", "What?"

Zhou Xian said again: "I asked what kind of things children like? Toys or something? For example, rattles, windmills, etc., go to the street to buy more for them to play with. Don't treat them as princes or princesses, treat them as ordinary children. Find some of them who are similar to their age and let them play with them."

Jinse was stunned for a moment and said, "Then I dare not, but I will buy some of the things you said tomorrow morning."

Zhou Xian nodded, lifted the rice bin and said, "You have been tired enough these days, go and rest early! In a few days, it will all end."

This was once the residence of Zhu Yisai when he was in Jinan. After Zhou Xian recovered Jinan, he moved in. When Zhu Cixuan came to Jinan, Zhou Xian placed him here again and vacated a small courtyard for him alone.

Wang Weidong brought a dozen Jinyiwei who escaped from the capital to protect his safety. When he saw Zhou Xian enter the courtyard, Wang Weidong bowed slightly and bowed to Zhou Xian. "Supervisor, you are here, do you want the villain to come in and report to the prince?"

Zhou Xian shook his head and walked straight into the house with the rice trunk.

The eunuch next to him was about to come forward to stop him, but Wang Weidong grabbed him. "What do you really want to do? Can you stop him? Don't seek death by yourself." He lowered his voice.

The eunuch was stunned for a moment and stopped immediately.

Zhu Cixuan lay on the side of the bed motionless. Zhu Cixuan sat next to him and sobbed quietly, and Fei Yue'e was accompanying him. Seeing Zhou Xian coming in, Zhu Cixuan stood up and whispered "Zhou Xian" and couldn't help crying again. Zhu Cixuan moved his body and still did not get up.

Zhou Xian stepped forward and wiped the tears from Zhu Meiyu's face, "It's okay, I'm there!" As he said that, he handed Fei Yue'e the rice trunk, "Take the princess out for something to eat, the prince and I have something to say."

Zhu Mei walked to the door, looked back for a while, and then walked out with Fei Yue'e.

Zhou Xian threw all the jade seal, imperial edict, and Emperor Chongzhen's sword on Zhu Cixuan, "This is what the late emperor asked me to hand it over to you. Do not want it or not, and you should decide it yourself."

Zhu Cixuan turned around suddenly and looked at the three things on the bed. He first grabbed the imperial edict. It was the edict written by Emperor Chongzhen, who asked him to succeed to the throne. Then he looked at the jade seal and sword placed next to him. "Father, Queen Mother, they..., do they have anything to say to me."

Zhou Xian said: "The late emperor asked you to be a good emperor, and Empress Zhou said that you would take good care of your younger brothers and sisters."

Zhu Cilang murmured and couldn't help crying. "Father, Queen,..."

Zhou Xian didn't say anything, and waited until he stopped crying and said slowly: "The late emperor died for his country, you are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. You have made enough troubles in the past few days, and you have been crazy enough. Shouldn't it be time to get up and do something seriously? Now from north to south, everyone is watching you. Do you really want to keep pretending to be dead like this?"

Zhu Cilang was already indignant. When Zhou Xian said this, he suddenly said angrily: "Shut up. It's all you, it's you that you didn't rescue your father and mother. Why did you send me out of the capital? I want to go back. I don't want to be this emperor, I want..., I want..."

Zhou Xian said in a deep voice: "What are you going to do? Go and find your father and mother? That is your father's sword. You can commit suicide now, and I will never stop you." Seeing that he really picked up the sword, Zhou Xian laughed anxiously, "You are really promising. Pull it out! Put it on your neck, press it directly, and cut off your neck. The wound will not be too big, it is only the size of a bowl, and it will immediately be bloody and fuzzy. The meridians are connected, and blood will spurt out directly, making your whole body and face full of red..." Zhou Xian is getting more anxious and more terrifying.

With a "bang", the sword fell to the ground. Zhu Cilang's face did not have a trace of blood, and his whole body seemed to be trembling.

Zhou Xian sighed and said slowly, "I know you have been in the palace all the time, and I have never seen the cruelty of fighting on the battlefield. When I came to Shandong, I was frightened by such a scene. But think about it, it is something that ordinary soldiers experience every day, and you have someone to protect them! You used to be the prince, now you are the emperor, and everyone in the world is watching you! But these days, Yu'er has been worried about you all the time, and the two little princess and the little princess cried every day because no one paid attention to them. Your father and mother, who saw you like this in the Spirit of Heaven, feel how you should feel, how can you be worthy of them."

Zhu Cilang's face turned red, and he was silent without saying anything.

Zhou Xian continued: "Even if you don't consider them, you have to think about what you will do in the future? Will you always hide in this room without seeing anyone?"

Zhu Cixuan was silent for a long time before he said hesitantly: "Zhou Xian, I don't want to be this emperor."

Zhou Xian was stunned on the spot and was a little unresponsive.
