The news of the loss of Luoyang and the killing of King Fu did not reach Beijing until mid-February. The news will be so late because there are no local officials in Luoyang to fly to the imperial court, but the governor of Henan, who lives in Kaifeng, only after receiving the conclusive news, sent an urgent 800-li Tang report and a transcript to the capital.

Although there have been some rumors about the fall of Luoyang in Beijing for a few days, no one will believe it and think it is unlikely. Before Li Zicheng broke Luoyang, there was only one Zhang Xianzhong in everyone's hearts, and there were very few people who knew Li Zicheng's name, and those who originally knew him forgot him.

Where and when did Li Zicheng come to Henan?

How many centaurs are there?

How to do it?

And so on and so forth, almost no one cares.

The news of breaking Luoyang and killing King Fu reached the capital, shocking everyone like a thunderbolt on a sunny day. In the ten days since then, whether it is in the yamen, the mansions of the lords and nobles, the teahouses and wine shops, the streets and alleys, as soon as people open their mouths, it is Luoyang. It's the Blessed King.

If it was just a break in Luoyang, it might not be such a sensation, for more than ten years, the loss of inland states and county towns has become a common thing, and it is indeed not important news in the capital. The Fu King that Li Zicheng killed there was the center of everyone's attention.

After all, King Fu ...... That's the most favored son of the Divine Sect, and he is the uncle of today's son!

When he got the flying music, Chongzhen, who was about to have lunch, suddenly changed his face, his mind was clouded, he almost fainted, and he stomped his feet again and again:

"Hey! Ay...... Yes! ”

Then he burst into tears.

He had never cried so much in front of people, which made the eunuchs and palace maids outside the palace all panicked, and those with heads knelt on the ground to persuade them, and those without heads cried quietly outside the curtains and under the eaves. An old eunuch standing under the eaves, who served the four emperors of the Ming Dynasty since the time of Shenzong, has never cared much about the affairs outside the palace, and always thinks that even if there are wars and natural disasters, the Ming Dynasty is as solid as iron and copper. He looked forward to seeing the national fortune Zhongxing with his own eyes day and night, and the news of Dongyu's defeat and retreat last year, and Liaodong's Kefu and other news made him even more convinced, and he even laughed out loud in his dreams.

At this moment, the news of Luoyang came into his ears, and seeing the emperor crying so bitterly, he couldn't help choking up and crying, staggered to a secluded place, sighed softly, and said unconsciously:

"Oh my God, oh my God, it's going to fall!"

It's going to be a ruin!

That's what everybody thinks.

Chongzhen cried for a while, Wang Chengen also heard the letter and ran over and knelt in front of him to persuade him, thinking that he had to tell the ancestors and gods about Luoyang, and also had to deal with the aftermath of Luoyang, Chongzhen stopped crying, and after waving away everyone, he sat alone on the royal couch and pondered.

At lunchtime, Chongzhen was eating, and suddenly remembered the matter of Luoyang, and tears fell again from his heart. Originally, he wanted to wait for a rest after lunch and then go to tell the ancestral gods, but now he couldn't wait, so he didn't take the chariot, and walked directly to the Fengxian Temple, kneeling in front of the gods of the god sect and crying.

It was the son of Emperor Shenzong, his uncle, who died!

Even if you don't kiss again, but after all, this is the real royal family!

Empress Zhou, who heard the news, sent a message to Concubine Tian, Concubine Yuan, and the crown prince and King Yong and King Ding to rush to Fengxian Hall with her. Because they were not allowed to enter without the edict, they knelt outside the palace gate together and persuaded the emperor to go back to the palace for dinner, not to be too sad and damage the "holy body".

Listening to the persuasion of the queen and others, Chongzhen cried more painfully, and the queen and others persuaded and persuaded them, and they also cried together. Because the emperor, the empress, the imperial concubine, the concubine, the prince and the two little kings all cried, and the eunuchs and palace maids who accompanied them also cried, and for a time from the inside of the palace to the outside of the palace, there was a cry.

After crying for a while, Chongzhen was supported by the eunuch and stood up in a choked voice, called the queen and Concubine Tian and Concubine Yuan to go in, and also knelt in front of the god of Shenzong to salute. After they had saluted, he choked up and said:

"In the three hundred years of our ancestors, there has never been such a tragic change. Since I have been in the extreme, I have respected the heavens and ancestors, been diligent in government and loved the people, and have never lost morality. Unexpectedly, the thieves were so rampant, and the disaster became more and more intense, so that Luoyang was lost and King Fu was killed. For the first time in three hundred years, the prince died as a thief. I, how can I be worthy of the Emperor of the Divine Sect! ”

After saying that, he burst into tears.

After leaving the Fengxian Palace, Chongzhen sent an order to the imperial dining room not to prepare meat dishes for him within 100 days. Three days later, Empress Zhou, worried that this would damage his body, persuaded him to stop vegetarianism. He shook his head in tears and refused.

"Over the years, I have been suppressing thieves every year, and I have been suppressing thieves every day, and the result is like this! I am not a dumb and incompetent king, since I ascended to the pole, I have worked hard for the country, and I have worked hard to govern the country, but unfortunately God did not bless me, and I bowed to the punishment. I don't eat meat, I don't drink alcohol, I just ask God for mercy and save the heart of heaven. Queen, you don't understand my suffering! ”

Saying that, Chongzhen burst into tears again, his heart was bitter!

Is it easy for him?

Originally, he never thought that he would become the emperor, that year Wang Gongchang exploded, the imperial brother lost the only prince, not long after, the imperial brother also fell into the water and contracted the wind cold, soon died, the imperial brother handed over the throne of the Ming Dynasty to himself before his death. I never dared to slack off, and I was careful not to damage the country of my ancestors.

Among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, except for Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Chengzu, who is as diligent as himself? But why does God always dislike him?

First of all, the Dongyu became more and more rampant day by day, and even entered Koubei Zhili and Shandong several times, not to mention, and last year he was even under the city of Nanjing, and he was so shocked that he could only kowtow in front of the spirit of Emperor Gao in the Taidian Palace.

finally relied on the prince of the German domain to defeat the Dongyu, and then used him to go to Liaodong to level the captive. But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the news of the Liukou ravaging the Central Plains overwhelmed him, and now, his own uncle was cut off by the Liukou.

How to be worthy of the imperial grandfather, how to be worthy of the imperial brother!

In the past few days, Chongzhen, who had an abnormal diet and insomnia overnight, became more and more emaciated and haggard, his eye sockets were sunken, and his eyes were dark. After the day of the court, he went to Cining Palace to see Xuanyi Huikang Zhao Liu Taifei. She is eighty-five years old, and she is the oldest and the most respected among the old concubines. Although she herself has never given birth to children and has been cautious all her life, Tianqi and Chongzhen both lost their mothers at a young age, lived in Cining Palace and were raised by her, and they have always called her grandma. Because there was no queen mother in the two dynasties, she was in charge of the queen mother's jade seal. Chongzhen, who was not in good spirits today, just sat down and said a few words, even yawned and fell asleep on the couch. Concubine Liu didn't allow anyone to alarm him, and asked the palace maid to put a thin quilt on his body.

After a while, Chongzhen stretched his waist, rubbed his dry eyes, sat up, straightened his hat, and then said sadly to Concubine Liu

"Grandma, the Divine Ancestor will have few things to do in the sea, how reassuring it is to be an emperor! When it comes to Sun Tzu, the world will be full of disasters and difficulties, and Sun Tzu is struggling to support him, and there is really no way. I didn't close my eyes for two nights. I can't eat because I'm bored. I thought I was only thirty people, but I was old and decrepit, and I couldn't control myself when I fell asleep in front of the concubine......"

Concubine Liu, who had nothing to say to comfort her grandson, let out a long sigh, and two wisps of tears flowed from her wrinkled face. Chongzhen also cried for a long time.

Ten days later, when Li Zicheng's attack on Kaifeng arrived in the capital, Chongzhen immediately scolded Li Xianfeng, the governor of Henan, for killing him, and actually fell for the traitor's tricks. He also ordered that Wang Shaoyu, the chief soldier of Luoyang, be arrested and beheaded in Beijing.

Worried about the fall of Kaifeng and the overall situation of the Central Plains out of control, after giving the order, he once again bowed down and cried bitterly, and he couldn't stop beating his chest and feet, and looked up to the sky and shouted sadly.

"Heavens! O God! You shouldn't have given birth to both a sacrificial thief and a thief! There are thieves outside, and there are rogues inside, heavens! How you make me is good wow! ”

After receiving the eunuch's report, Queen Zhou saw that Chongzhen had been a vegetarian for a long time, working hard for the country, and her body was deteriorating, and she couldn't support it. So he came and persuaded him.

"Your Majesty, either or not, or you will order the general to lead the troops back to the Central Plains, he, he can fight well, and he will definitely be able to pacify the Liukou and stabilize the Central Plains!"

General Pingyu?

He is...... Zhu Ciying, the son of the German Domain, listened to this name, Chongzhen, who was originally full of tears, didn't say anything for a long time, and only said it for a while.

"Liaodong is in trouble."
