At this time, the eunuch next to him, Zhang Yin, persuaded him: "Your Majesty, for today's plan, I'm afraid that we can only save our lives by surrendering to the rogue!" ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as the eunuch finished speaking, he was pulled out by Ming Yizong, the sword of the general of Jinyi Wei, and stabbed to death in front of the main hall, and turned around and cried to the Empress of Ming Zhou, "Zitong, you are the mother of a country, and you should be martyred." ”

Knowing that her husband was a stubborn person, Queen Ming Zhou had to cry and say, "The concubine has been married to Your Majesty for 18 years, and Your Majesty has not heard a word from the concubine in the past 18 years!" It is only today that today's incident has been caused, and now His Majesty has let the concubine die, how dare the concubine not die?"

After speaking, the queen of Ming Zhou untied her belt, walked to a table, stepped on a stool, threw her belt on the beam, tied a mouth, and prepared to commit suicide!

Ming Yizong, who was deeply reluctant, hurriedly walked over to look at her, his face showed a sad look, he hugged Empress Ming Zhou, who was wearing (the queen's crown coat) and cried, "Zitong, I'm sorry for you!" May I see you again in the next life! What I owe you in this life, I will pay it back in the next life. ”

Then Queen Ming Zhou kicked over the stool and hanged herself! He was 33 years old.

recalled the scene when the queen mother married into the palace of Prince Xin, and the two of them shared weal and woe, when they first entered the palace, in order to prevent the Ming Si Rite Supervisor Bingbi Eunuch from being nine thousand years old: Wei Zhongxian, poisoned and cooked for Ming Yizong every day, which allowed him to stay up to the throne, and now the queen is gone! I don't have much time left for myself.

At this moment, the imperial concubine of Emperor Ming Yuan in the main hall quickly knelt down and grabbed His Majesty the Emperor's sleeve, and begged, "Your Majesty, the concubines and concubines don't want to die yet!" But Ming Yizong turned around and waved his hand and said, "You can go with the queen too!" I must not let the rogues defile my concubine. ”

Despite this, Emperor Yuan Guifei of the Ming Dynasty still kept crying, she asked to leave the palace but was refused, Ming Yizong thought that for the sake of the husband and wife, asked the eunuchs to take her back to Yikun Palace, one of the six palaces in the east, to commit suicide, and the rest of the concubines present saw that His Majesty the Emperor began to bury them, and they were all panicked! Fleeing in all directions.

Ming Yizong, who was carried away by anger, immediately ordered General Jinyi Wei Dahan to pursue these concubines, and he himself picked up his sword and walked towards Shouning Palace.

When I saw Princess Kunxing, the second princess of the Ming Dynasty who was over 14 years old (15 years old), she was still choosing hairpins while making up while accompanying the palace maids.

When the palace maids saw His Majesty the Emperor walking in with a sword, they were so frightened that their souls were gone, and they hurriedly hid to the side and saluted, saying, "Slaves, slaves, and maids, please see Your Majesty, and wish Your Majesty all blessings and peace." ”

I saw Ming Yizong step forward and grab Princess Ming Kunxing who was sitting, and said, "Why were you born in this imperial palace of mine, suffering such a pain of being humiliated by the country, and parting from life and death?!" ”

Princess Ming Kunxing, who didn't know what she meant, asked in horror, "Father, father, what's wrong with you?" The child will be married in a few days. As soon as the words fell, I saw His Majesty the Emperor covering his face with his left sleeve, and swinging his sword with his right hand to slash at Princess Ming Kunxing!

Just listen (ah!) Princess Kunxing quickly fell to the ground, and Ming Yizong hurriedly glanced at it and found that she was not dead? It's just that her left arm was cut off, and she slashed her shoulder with a few more swords, and in this way, Princess Ming Kunxing screamed in pain, became silent and fainted in an instant, and His Majesty the Emperor also killed a few palace maids in the palace, and walked out of the Zhaoren Palace.

At this moment, Princess Ming Kunren, who is only 6 years old: Zhu Yuyuan, still wearing a princess crown dress (skirt), is playing with a small doll in her hand, but the palace maids next to her are in a mess and fleeing for their lives!

A eunuch with some conscience ran over and said, "Your Royal Highness the Third Princess, hurry up, escape!" Your Majesty, he, he's crazy! ”

Suddenly, a sword flew over and stabbed at the eunuch who spoke, causing the eunuch to spit blood and fall in front of her, directly scaring Princess Ming Kunren, who held the doll and cried loudly.

Ming Yizong, who came over in a yellow gown, squatted down and comforted, "Yuan'er, don't cry!" Do you miss your mother? ”

Comforted, she nodded, "Well, Yuan'er misses her mother, what about her father, queen mother?" Where is she? The ashamed Ming Yizong lowered his head and replied, "Your queen mother is in a distant place, looking at Yuan'er!" Go ahead! Come with your mother! After speaking, he ruthlessly stabbed Princess Ming Kunren in the chest with his sword.

Watching his little daughter die too! Ming Yizong hugged him sadly, raised his head to the sky and shouted, "Ah! ……。 ”

At the same time, the concubines who escaped were also caught by General Jinyiwei Dahan, but they missed a Ming concubine, Ming Yizong, who was half-drunk and half-awake with a wine jar, sat on the steps of the Qianqing Palace, and looked at the Ming Beizhen Fu Si Jinyi Wei who came from afar, commanding the affairs: Wang Guoxing, stepped forward and reported: "Your Majesty, the concubines who escaped were all caught, but they missed a Fang concubine, do you want to..." ”

Ming Yizong, who put down the wine jar, said, "That's it! Let her go! As soon as the words fell, the Jinyi guards hacked to death the three concubines they caught, and sent people to Renshou Palace to urge the imperial sister-in-law Empress Dowager Ming Yi'an and Changchun Palace to urge the widow of his father (Emperor Taichangzhen of Mingguangzong Taichangzhen) to commit suicide.

In order to keep her chastity, the Empress Dowager Ming Yi'an, who knew the righteousness, used sacrificial wine to her husband (Emperor Xian ~ Emperor Ming Xizong Tianqizhe After toasting, she drank Heding Red and died in Renshou Palace!) Only Emperor Li Kang of the Ming Dynasty deliberately delayed the time to cry in the palace, and refused to commit suicide and martyrdom.

Of course, some of the other concubines who were beaten into the cold palace during the first emperor's period, Ming Yizong didn't care about them! In order to ensure that he does not lose the royal face, he also plans to go to Yikun Palace to see if Emperor Ming Yuan has committed suicide?

Who would have thought that as soon as he went to the dormitory, he saw that the rope of Emperor Ming Yuan, who had hanged herself, was broken, causing her to fall to the ground and fall unconscious, Ming Yizong saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to test his nose with his hand, and found that there was still breath? I put my hand on my neck and tried it, but I found that it still felt like it was beating?

So Ming Yizong couldn't rest assured, so he drew his sword and slashed her three times, and blood flowed all over the ground! Lying in a pool of blood, Emperor Ming Yuan's concubine was motionless, and Ming Yizong thought she was dead? I didn't cut it down again (in fact, it was just a shoulder injury, and it didn't hurt any big deal!). ）

Now Ming Yizong is completely ruined! He slowly dropped his sword, looked at his trembling hands, and said helplessly to the heavens again, "Heaven is dead!" Heaven is dead! ”

Immediately afterwards, the commander of the Nine Gates of the Ming Jing Division, who ran to the Yikun Palace, hurriedly shouted, "Your Majesty, the Liukou army has invaded the Forbidden City!" ”

His Majesty the Emperor, who had already suffered a great blow, was made worse when he heard the news! He almost knelt down with a weak leg, but fortunately he was supported by the commander of the Nine Gates of the Ming Jing Division, and he said, "Chengen, go to a place with me." ”

The curious Admiral of the Nine Gates of the Ming Jing Division asked, "Your Majesty, where are we going?" ”

At this moment, His Majesty the Emperor's head was already in a trance, and he didn't know where to go? Just walked north through Kunning Palace and out of Xuanwu Gate, and came to the foot of Coal Mountain.

The Admiral of the Nine Gates of the Ming Jing Division and a few eunuchs who followed behind him felt that His Majesty was going to escape? But on second thought, isn't it?

Ming Yizong, who was walking in front, said, "Chengen, how many years have you been in the palace?" The Admiral of the Nine Gates of the Ming Jing Division replied, "Back to Your Majesty's words, the old slave entered the palace in the fourth year of the Apocalypse, he was 13 years old at the time, and now he has been in the palace for 20 years. ”

And Ming Yizong continued: "Then have you ever seen the map of Gyeonggi? The Admiral of the Nine Gates of the Ming Jing Division shook his head and said that he didn't know, so Ming Yizong took them to climb the coal mountain on foot and stand on it, and took a look at the scenery under their feet, and looked at all the major palaces in the entire imperial capital.

In the face of this palace, Ming Yizong's heart was broken, because it was late, so they stayed for a while and walked down the mountain with torches at night, everyone came to the Qin'an Hall after passing the Xuanwu Gate, Ming Yizong took the lead in burning incense to worship the Zhenwu Emperor and praying for peace, and the eunuchs lined up the incense in turn, so they rested in the Qin'an Hall for a night.

At the beginning of March 19th, the sound of Liukou's artillery was getting closer and closer, and it was about to approach the noon gate, and the Ming army was greedy for life and afraid of death: Zhang Jinyan, in order to save his life, he chose to take the initiative to open the end gate as soon as possible to welcome the Dashun army into the city.

Ming Yizong, who was changed by this move, had just walked outside the Imperial Palace, when he heard the sound of cannons and seemed to be very close to him? I also saw many palace maids and eunuchs running around, so in desperation, Ming Yizong ran to the drum tower and rang the drum bell to let the ministers come to the imperial palace to go to court.

The bell rang for a while, but I didn't see any officials coming! Instead, he saw that the eunuchs, palace maids, Jinyi guards, Tengxiang Siwei and others in the palace all fled for their lives.

At this time, the anxious Ming Yizong also knew that the big thing was gone! He said, "The ministers are mistaken, the king is dead, and the world of the two hundred and seventy-seven years of the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed today!" All of them were mistaken by traitors, and all civil officials should be killed. ”

Then he took a hundred Jinyi guards around him and thirty eunuchs under the commander of the Nine Gates of the Ming Jing Division to Donghua Gate, ready to kill from here.

Who would have thought that when Ming Yizong came here on horseback, the Liukou army who was besieged at the city gate and climbed the ladder returned fire with arrows, and hundreds of arrows were inserted into the Jinyi guards, and 83 Jinyi guards and 200 Ming troops defending the city were shot on the spot, and the rest of the Jinyi guards had to surrender to the Liukou when they saw this.

When the commander of the Nine Gates of the Ming Jing Division saw the Jinyi guards holding white flags and running to the city tower to surrender, he immediately asked the eunuchs to protect His Majesty the Emperor to evacuate, and Ming Yizong, who was riding on a horse, also shot a (bang, bang, bang) with a three-eyed gun in his hand to kill a rogue soldier, and then turned around and ran to Qihuamen.

And the Ming Chengguo Duke who guards here: Zhu Chunchen, but after closing the door, he still thinks he is a spy? I saw a soldier on the top of the city tower raising a gun to shoot at the emperor's side, and the lead bullet quickly hit the ground and killed ten eunuchs, so that the commander of the nine gates of the Ming Jing division was forced to go to Xihuamen to try again.

When I came here, the door had been locked with iron chains, and the bolt could not be opened at all, so the eunuchs had to use sharp axes to chop, and after a few useless splits, they honestly returned to the palace, and the outside of the city was already full of fire.

The disappointed Ming Yizong gave the last order to the Admiral of the Nine Gates of the Ming Jing Division beside him, and he said, "Cheng'en, go and get the Four Treasures of the Study!" ”

I saw His Majesty the Emperor holding a pen and ink to write an edict of guilt? After writing it, he commanded, "Wait, you don't have to follow me from now on!" Let's all run for their lives! Hearing the emperor's words, everyone dispersed, and only the commander of the Nine Gates of the Ming Jingshi accompanied him.

The two walked up the coal mountain step by step again, this time Ming Yizong walked under a crooked neck tree, he took off the (crown) he was wearing on his head and put it on the ground, and took off his left shoe, then turned around and said, "Cheng'en, you go!" Run for your life! I don't blame you, I understand your loyalty! ”

But the Admiral of the Nine Gates of the Ming Jing Division refused to leave, but knelt down and couldn't stand on the ground, and Ming Yizong was very helpless so he had to untie the belt of his crown and hang it on the tree to commit suicide! He was 33 years old.

The Admiral of the Nine Gates of the Ming Jing Division on the side saw that His Majesty the Emperor had not moved, so he got up and saw that the person had lost his breath! In the excitement, he also hanged himself on the begonia tree next to him! The history is known as "Jiashen National Disaster".
