Chapter 535: When the Country Breaks Down and the Family Dies(Second Update, Ask for Subscription)
The city is broken!
After learning the news, Chongzhen, who was like a mourner, was stunned there and couldn't speak for a long time.
He didn't wait for reinforcements to come, but what he was waiting for was such news that the gate of the outer city was opened by the guards and thieves were surrendered......
Once again, Chongzhen remembered the words that Emperor Taizu instructed when he was "manifesting":
"You've got to find a way to get out of Beijing."
But how do you escape now?
But Chongzhen couldn't think of a good way, so he asked himself:
"Is it just waiting for the city to be killed and the ancestors to die?"
Although he is the emperor, Chongzhen has also practiced martial arts, and personally presided over the internal exercises between the coal mountain and the Shouhuang Palace, so he was unwilling to die in the palace when the catastrophe came. At this time, his mood was confused, and he couldn't think calmly, so he was whimsical, and wanted to lead a part of the ministers who had learned martial arts, and then select hundreds of royal family members, and then rushed out of Qihuamen, fought and fled, and ran in the direction of Shanhaiguan.
If you can't go to Shandong, then I will go to the head office of Shanhaiguan.
At present, Beijing's inner city has not yet been lost, and there should be a way to do so. He was secretly thinking about how to lead hundreds of young ministers to suddenly rush out of the city gates, or fight a bloody way to escape, or die in the chaos. Even if he dies, he will leave the name of the heroic emperor in the history of the ages, and he is by no means an ordinary cowardly and incompetent monarch of the country. When he thought about it like this, his spirit suddenly rose up, and he had the spirit of "seeing death as home", and he only had infinite sorrow for the matter of martyrdom, and he no longer had any sense of fear. He said with hatred in his heart:
"It was the ministers who mistakenly me, so today, how can I be the king of the dead country!"
He stopped and looked up at the sky. There are still thin clouds on the top, and the moonlight is unknown. He thought once again that this was the night that was conducive to breaking through and escaping, and his intention to leave the city was even more determined. At the same time, the reality outside the city once again appeared in his mind, and now the 200,000 army of rebels surrounded Beijing, the outer city was broken, and only the birds could leave the city.
Even if he led a few hundred people, how could he rush out? In the end, I guess I will die in the chaos! In case he didn't die, he would fall into the hands of the rebels. That would really be an insult to the ancestors. Originally, if you lose the country, you will have no shame to see your ancestors again. But if you become a prisoner alive, you will have no face to see your ancestors.
In an instant, his mind cleared up, and he no longer had the same illusions as before. After the longing for life dissipated, he sat down on the dragon chair and couldn't say a word. In this moment when he had just regained his senses, he thought about the "appearance" of Emperor Taizu Gao in his dream.
Although Emperor Taizu told him that he should escape from Beijing, when he asked Grandpa Tai how to escape, he asked twice, but Grandpa Tai did not answer him. When he cried and asked for the third time, what did Grandpa Tai answer?
After a sigh, what did Grandpa Tai say?
"The ancestors are not alone!"
Not one person's......
Do you really want to give up the country?
It's better to give it to yourself than to outsiders, the ancestral temple for your own people is still there in the morning, but if you let the rogue take over the world, the ancestral temple will be gone.
At that time, the tablets of the ancestors in the Fengxian Hall will be replaced by others.
But what now?
Chongzhen couldn't help but be a little confused, even if he had this idea in his heart, he still didn't know what to do.
What to do now?
……
When the emperor's edict came, Zu Dashou was stunned for a while.
What did the emperor do when he saw him?
Is it an order to defend the city?
At this time, Zu Dashou couldn't help but fall into some kind of gain and loss, because the incident happened so suddenly, so that he had no chance to escape from the capital at all, and he was trapped in the capital, thinking about how to get out.
"Uncle, this is our chance!"
Looking at the hesitant uncle, Liu Zhenqi said softly.
"Now is the time to go ahead and do what you planned! Uncle, the emperor's edict is the time for you to show your attitude to the emperor, as long as the emperor agrees, we will act according to the plan! ”
Liu Zhenqi's tone was a little excited, he had been planning another thing, and now everything was ready and only Dongfeng was owed, but the emperor sent Dongfeng over, how could he not be happy?
"Can this work?"
Zu Dashou hesitated.
"Now the Liukou are besieging the capital on all sides, if we can't kill it, it's all over......"
"Uncle, those are just rogues, but the ones in Uncle's Mansion are all elites of a hundred battles!"
The elite of the hundred battles in Liu Zhenqi's mouth are more than 1,000 families in the house, not only are they all strong elites, but they are all wearing Liaodong Ming iron armor, these more than 1,000 people are killed, it is impossible to defeat the Liukou, but at least they can break through the encirclement and kill out of the capital.
If necessary, it can even inflict a heavy blow on the rogue, after all, most of the rogues are unarmoured pawns.
"I know, I know, but, but ......"
After hesitating, thinking of the mistake last time, Zu Dashou's eyes suddenly sharpened, and then said.
"Just act according to the plan, let the big guy get ready first, I'll go to the palace!"
Let's go to the palace first, no matter what, the emperor treats himself well, and he must see him.
Unlike usual, there are no pedestrians on the streets in the city, only occasionally patrols pass by, looking at those old and weak patrols, Zu Dashou couldn't help but sigh,
"Is this the Jingying of the Ming Dynasty?"
In the past ten years, the Beijing camp of the Ming Dynasty has been repeatedly dispatched to suppress the Kou, leaving behind only a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, relying on these old, weak, sick and disabled people must not be able to hold the city.
Is Da Ming's qi really exhausted?
Fortunately, there are also generals.
When facing the end of the dynasty, people will always be imaginative, and now Zu Dashou is the same, on the way to the imperial city, he is riding on a horse, but what he thinks about is his own indecision, and if this is not the case, why would he fall into the current situation.
Not to mention being in danger, more importantly, he could have become the "Guozhang" of Zhongxing, the king of the Ming Dynasty, but now?
It's just an earl trapped in a dead city, even if you kill it, what's the use?
If you just kill alone, to the outside world, it is just an incompetent person who abandons the master and runs away, even if the general does not remember the old grudge in the future, and Kai En left his title, the ancestral family is just one of the many lords of the Ming Dynasty who have no obvious status, and within a few decades, no one in the world will remember the ancestral family.
"Hey......"
With a long sigh, Zu Dashou said to himself again.
"It's self-inflicted!"
After talking to himself like this, Zu Dashou's mood couldn't help but be heavy, and even he didn't know why he had fallen into this field, why didn't he seize it when he had such a good opportunity?
In fact, not only Zu Dashou, but even Chongzhen's mood, it is probably the same, he regrets it! Regret not taking the opportunity.
If Zhu Ciying had led the troops south and marched to the Central Plains to suppress the "thieves", how could the ancestors' country fall into the hands of the rogues, and how could they have lost it from their own hands?
Kneeling in front of the ancestral tablet, Chongzhen looked up at those tablets again, and the highest tablet read, "Ming Taizu opened the heavens and walked the way, Zhao Jili, the great saint, the supreme god, benevolence, righteousness, martial arts, virtue, success, and the spirit of the high emperor."
"The ancestors are on top, since Emperor Gao laid down the country, to the unfilial descendants from the inspection of this has been passed down for 16 generations...... Today, the rogue soldiers are besieging the capital, and the unfilial descendants cannot be in peace and cannot save the people, which is really a loss for the family and the country...... Although the descendants will not live long, they will not live up to the emperor and the people, and they will never dare to live up to their ......."
Zhu Youzhen, who was kneeling in front of the ancestral tablet, spoke firmly, especially when he said the sentence "Gou Quanwei", his eyes were resolute, and he had already made a decision in his heart. In the end, he stared at the tablet of the ancestor, his expression changed from time to time, and finally he gritted his teeth and kowtowed.
"Children and grandchildren are not filial, children and grandchildren are not filial......"
In this way, he kept kowtowing to the ancestral tablet, and the sound of kowtowing "bump" sounded, and shocking blood stains slowly appeared on the hard floor tiles.
Listening to the sound of kowtowing in the hall, the eunuchs outside the window were all sad, and they wiped their tears with their sleeves, they knew that Daming's qi was exhausted......
