Time gradually entered the night, I don't know why, Li Zicheng did not shell Beijing City again tonight, but made Beijing City rare and quiet for a night. However, Zhu Cihong knew that this was just the calm before the storm, and Li Zicheng would break into the city early tomorrow morning.

This night, Zhu Cihong had no sleep at all, and similarly, Emperor Chongzhen also had no sleep, he climbed the coal mountain accompanied by the eunuch Wang Chengen, and looked at the thief army outside the city.

Emperor Chongzhen sighed in mourning: "The thief is so big, and I will die in the sky!" ”

"The emperor must not be pessimistic, the fate of the great tomorrow is not endless, Li Zicheng is not afraid of thieves, as long as the emperor can hold on, there are soldiers and horses from all over the world to come and destroy the emperor." Wang Chengen comforted with tears.

Emperor Chongzhen was silent for a long time, pessimistic in his heart, and said after a long time: "It's late, I can't hold the world's soldiers and horses Qin Wang, and no one will come to Qin Wang, what the prince said a few days ago may be right, the people in the north of the Ming Dynasty have lost their hearts, and the ministers are selfish, and now the soldiers are coming to the city, one by one, they are still gloomy, and there is no eagerness at all, maybe they are planning how to let the thief army enter the city to ask for my head." ”

Emperor Chongzhen sneered.

"Chengen, let's go back, you let the queen, Yuan Guifei, several princes and princes come to the imperial study to see me one after another." Emperor Chongzhen gave an order, and like an old man in the twilight, he staggered down the coal mountain and returned to the imperial study.

Zhu Cihong heard that the emperor had summoned him to the imperial study, so he went without much thought, thinking that maybe Emperor Chongzhen had already anticipated the ending and was about to make the final arrangements.

When Zhu Cihong came to the imperial study, he happened to meet several eunuchs leaving with two princes, Zhu Cihong knew the identities of these two princes, namely King Ding, King Yong, of which King Ding was his younger brother, and King Yong was born to the dead Tian Guifei, according to the memory of the previous life, Chongzhen should have asked the eunuch to take them to their respective grandfather's house to hide.

"Brother Prince." King Ding shouted at Zhu Cihong.

In Zhu Cihong's original memory, this younger brother was still very close to him, and Zhu Cihong himself was unable to protect himself, and he didn't plan to pay attention to it, but looking at the king in front of him, who was only two years younger than himself, or maybe because he was born to the same mother, he had the same blood in his body, so he suddenly felt unbearable, so he shouted to him and instructed him:

"Third brother, I know that my father asked you to go to your grandfather's house to hide, but it is not a place to stay for a long time, if you can trust your brother, you will go directly to the East Palace and wait for your brother later." After Zhu Cihong finished speaking, he turned around and entered the imperial study without waiting for him to answer, he had already given this brother with his mother a choice, and his fate depended on his own creation.

In the imperial study, when the emperor saw Zhu Cihong coming, he did not speak, but waved his hand slightly, and the eunuch Wang Chengen handed him a yellow package.

Zhu Cihong took it and opened it to see that it was actually the jade seal of the Ming Dynasty and a holy decree.

"Father." Zhu Cihong was suddenly shocked and looked at Emperor Chongzhen.

"Emperor, maybe what you said is right, I decided to agree to you move the capital to Nanjing, I handed over the jade seal of the country to you, and also wrote the edict of succession, and I have already issued an order for Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, to lead the army to escort you to Nanjing to succeed to the throne."

Emperor Chongzhen said, slowly walked to Zhu Cihong's side, and grabbed Zhu Cihong's hand: "Emperor, it's my father who is sorry for you, my father is useless, I couldn't hand you a prosperous Taiping Daming country, Daming is in danger!" Emperor Chongzhen had tears in his eyes, and although he was not a wise emperor, he was a qualified father.

Zhu Cihong's heart was hot, and said: "My father should not be like this, you are the son of heaven of the Ming Dynasty, if you can personally come forward to gather all the soldiers, you will definitely be able to break through the siege and go to Jiangnan safely, and your son is willing to follow your father." ”

Zhu Cihong said well, there are still 100,000 troops in Beijing, if Emperor Chongzhen is willing to come forward, they will definitely be able to gather together, the radius of Beijing City reaches dozens of miles, Li Zicheng can not besiege everywhere, if the 100,000 army breaks through Li Zicheng's siege from one direction, it should not be a problem.

"No, I am willing, I will not be an emperor who escapes, and the Ming Dynasty will not allow an emperor to escape, I can't afford this crime, so you can go down." Emperor Chongzhen said resolutely, he had the will to die, and he didn't want to be an escaped emperor, so there was no room for negotiation.

"Father..." Zhu Cihong is not a gentle person, and after kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to Emperor Chongzhen three times, he turned around decisively and left. After all, since Emperor Chongzhen already has the will to die, it is useless to persuade him, so he is not persuading, although he has the memory of Zhu Cihong, but he can't talk about how deep his feelings are with Emperor Chongzhen.

Out of the imperial study, Zhu Cihong's heart suddenly moved, and he thought of one thing.

It is not long before the morning, when Li Zicheng will break through the city of Beijing, and Emperor Chongzhen ordered Empress Zhou and Yuan Guifei to kill several young princes and princesses after the festival, and he also committed suicide on the coal mountain.

Other people Zhu Cihong can ignore it, but Queen Zhou can't, he feels cramped when he thinks of this, and his memory Queen Zhou and Zhu Cihong's mother and son have a very good relationship, maybe because of the inheritance of this body, subconsciously he does not allow such a thing to happen.

"That's it, my Wang Lang owes you a life, and I will fulfill your filial piety." Zhu Cihong muttered.

Zhu Cihong is not troublesome, and at the same time has his own considerations. Although he is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, there have been incidents of the fake prince being beheaded in the Qing Dynasty and the Southern Ming Dynasty in his previous life, although he is not sure that the real prince was wronged, but he has to guard against it. There are not a few princes who want to be the emperor in Nanjing, and many courtiers in Nanjing also have their own different intentions, and the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty welcomed the new monarch in April, when it was only a short month from the city of Beijing.

If Empress Zhou followed her to Jiangnan and passed on the jade seal and holy decree in Canada, the rule of Nanming would be as stable as Mount Tai, and no one would have any objections.

In fact, there is another reason for this, Wang Lang was an orphan in his previous life, he dreamed of having a mother, and Zhu Cihong's biological mother Queen Zhou is the best candidate, since he inherited Zhu Cihong's body, then Queen Zhou is naturally his biological mother now.

Empress Zhou is a very famous virtuous queen in history, and she is reasonable. Subconsciously, Wang Lang really wants to have such a mother, which can be regarded as a regret in his past and present lives.

After thinking about it, Zhu Cihong made a decision and quickly walked towards Queen Zhou's Kunning Palace.

In the end, Zhu Cihong successfully deceived Empress Zhou from Kunning Palace.

"Emperor, does your father really agree to move the capital to Nanjing? Then why didn't he come and pick up your queen mother himself? Although Zhu Cihong had repeatedly assured, Empress Zhou still had doubts.

"The queen mother, the father and the sons of the soldiers are divided into two ways to distract Li Zicheng's attention, and the queen mother follows the sons with peace of mind, and the sons will not deceive the queen mother with this kind of thing." Zhu Cihong said with a smile.

Time was pressing, and he was afraid that Empress Zhou would not agree to leave Emperor Chongzhen and go with him, so Zhu Cihong had no choice but to deceive Empress Zhou for the time being, and talk about the future later.

Back in the East Palace, Zhu Cihong didn't expect that his younger brother King Dingwang didn't come here, so he probably didn't believe him. But forget it, since King Ding has his own ideas, then he cares about what to do so much, and his fate is his own choice after all.

In fact, Zhu Cihong misunderstood King Ding, King Ding also wanted to go to the East Palace, but he met Uncle Guo halfway, and there was a eunuch to convey the emperor's will, so Uncle Guo directly dragged King Ding to his own house, and it was precisely because of this that King Ding's fate could not change after all.
