The good news is that Zhu Liang became Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian. The bad news is that there are only seven days left before Li Chuang breaks the city. The Ming Dynasty was plagued by internal and external troubles and was in danger. Faced with a desperate situation, Zhu Lian threw away the rope that hanged him, took up the Emperor's Sword, and used killing to end the chaos - clearing out civil servants who were fighting among themselves, eradicating corrupt officials, executing nobles who were wealthy enough to rival the country, and killing businessmen who surrendered to the enemy and treason. At first, he just wanted to hold on for a few more days and escort the prince to move south. However, the trajectory of history has completely deviated since then.
