About This Novel
At nearly noon, the little sun in the southwest hung high, like a burning brazier, scorching the land of Jianghuai in August of the Jiashen year (1644), baking a loess road until it was cracked and hot. The people fleeing on the loess road formed a line, in groups of three and five, and they were all dejected. Who would have thought that in such a team fleeing south, there would be the Crown Prince Zhu Ci and the inner palace Gao Qiqian mixed in. The crown prince is the first son of Emperor Chongzhen. On March 19 of this year, Li Zicheng defeated Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself, and the crown prince was captured. Later, the crown prince followed Li Zicheng to attack Shanhaiguan, and Li Zicheng was completely defeated. After the crown prince took advantage of the chaos to escape, he met Gao Qiqian, and the two fled south together.
