Zhu Youzhen was in the Qianqing Palace at this time, and he couldn't say it, so he originally asked Zhang Jinyan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, to talk to Li Zicheng again to see if he could fight for the greatest interests for himself and the princes, but the palace maids sent did not find Zhang Jinyan, and the holy decree could not be transmitted.

Coupled with the abdication of Zen, I regretted it in my heart, so I gave up such a plan.

But Zhu Youzhen knew that if Li Zicheng's conditions could not be met, the Heavenly Mandate Army would definitely break the city, and it would not be a pity for him to die, and the princes would also suffer.

After much thought, he decided to save the princes.

Zhu Youzhen immediately asked the palace maid to pass on the message, summoned the three princes and the two princesses into the palace, and accompanied them to dinner.

But during dinner, the eunuch Wang Lian hurriedly broke into the Qianqing Palace and told Zhu Youzhen that the thieves stormed the city gates, and several city gates were in a hurry.

Zhu Youzhen drank the imperial wine in the cup in one gulp, and sighed: "Liukou has done this, but it has hurt the people!" He waved Wang Lian down.

may have made up his mind, Zhu Youzhen no longer panicked, even his usual suspicion and indecision are gone, and his face is rare perseverance.

Seeing that the prince and princess had already had dinner, he got up and took the hands of Zhu Cihong, Zhu Cijiong and Zhu Cizhao, folded the right hands of the three of them together, held them with his big hands, and said calmly: "Let's go, leave the Qianqing Palace, find your grandfather, he will definitely find a way to let you get out, after getting out, hide incognito among the people, live the life of ordinary people, don't think about revenge......"

"Father!" The crown prince Zhu Cihong is already sixteen years old, he has long understood that this dinner may be the last dinner between father and son, and now is the time to say goodbye to life and death, he grabbed Zhu Youzhen's dragon robe tightly with his other hand, and said: "The child has grown up, the child must accompany his father, and the child will always be with his father!"

"Fool!" Zhu Youzhen took his hand away and stroked Zhu Cihong's face, "The emperor of the Ming Dynasty of my father, the Ming Dynasty is gone, and I can only die in the city. At this moment, he is completely a loving father, "Hong'er must not only protect himself, but also protect his younger brothers if possible!"

Zhu Cihong nodded vigorously, with deep hatred in his eyes.

Zhu Youzhen looked at Zhu Cihong, who was almost as tall as himself, and said with a faint smile: "Hong'er forgot his father's words?" Don't have hatred in your heart, let alone think about revenge, revenge, and the change of dynasties, this is the law of historical development, and you can survive, you are lucky," his gaze swept over the faces of the three brothers one by one, and said: "As long as you live, the incense of the Zhu family will not be broken, and you can also sacrifice to the ancestors and ancestors during the Qingming and winter solstice......

Although Zhu Youzhen spoke softly and kept smiling on his face, the three brothers all understood that from now on, they would no longer be the formidable prince, and their father would probably ......

The youngest Zhu Cizhao actually cried out loud, Zhu Youzhen touched his head, and barely squeezed out a smile, "Zhao'er is still young, but your grandfather will take care of you, and you will listen to your grandfather in the future!"

Zhu Cizhao said "um", tears still hanging on his face.

Dingwang Zhu Cijiong is thirteen years old, and the drastic changes in the country seem to have taught him a lot, seeing the tears on Zhu Cizhao's face, he quietly wiped them away, "Brother Zhao doesn't cry, we all have to obey our father's orders and live well!"

A smile appeared on Zhu Youzhen's face, he once again held the hands of the three brothers, and then handed the three to the eunuch who had been waiting for a long time.

The crown prince Zhu Cihong and the king of Ding, Zhu Cijiong, were both born to Empress Zhou Yufeng, and a eunuch gave them to Empress Zhou's father, Zhou Kui, while Yongwang Zhu Cizhao's biological mother, the late concubine Tian Xiuying, would go with another eunuch to meet his grandfather Tian Hongyu.

Jingzhong was very chaotic at this time, and it was obviously dangerous to let only one eunuch send the princes, but Zhu Youzhen really couldn't take care of it, most of the eunuchs were fighting the enemy at the head of the city, and he couldn't believe it with ordinary manpower, including the guards!

The three princes bowed to Zhu Youzhen before going out with the eunuchs.

Zhu Youzhen watched the three princes leave the palace gate, the tenderness on his face suddenly disappeared, hesitated for a moment, and still took the two princesses to the Zhaoren Hall on the east side.

The candlelight in the Zhaoren Hall flickered, and a little eunuch stood in the door, and when he saw Zhu Youzhen coming, he hurriedly got up and saluted, and Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and asked him to leave.

Zhu Youzhen's gaze kept switching between the faces of Princess Zhu Yujiao of Changping and the young Princess Zhaoren, looking at this, and then looking at that, in the end, he was a little reluctant.

Princess Zhu Yujiao of Changping is already sixteen years old, the same year as the crown prince Zhu Cihong, and has already promised to marry Zhou Xian, the commander of the capital......

He let out a long sigh and looked at Princess Zhaoren, who was only six years old, and her nose was sore...... She is the age of being sensible and coquettish, but now she wants to ......

Princess Zhaoren was so young that she didn't even know what life and death were, maybe she felt sleepy, she yawned and said, "Father, my son is sleepy......"

Zhu Youzhen turned around, couldn't bear to look directly at Princess Zhaoren, but it was Princess Changping who fell in his eyes, he was ruthless, put his right hand on the hilt of the sword on his waist, and sighed softly: "Jiao'er, why were you born in the emperor's family......" Before he finished speaking, he had already pulled out his sword and cut off Zhu Yujiao's head.

When Zhu Yujiao came to Zhaoren Palace, she had already realized something, and when Zhu Youzhen drew her sword, she was already convinced of her judgment: her father was going to kill herself and her sister!

But Zhu Youzhen's sword came too fast, Zhu Yujiao subconsciously stretched out her arm to block, the sword slashed on the big arm, the big arm was cut off alive, fell to the ground, blood gushed out from the fracture, a strong smell of blood, and suddenly filled the small hall.

"Ah......" Zhu Yujiao screamed, and before she could see the arm that fell to the ground, she fainted.

Princess Zhaoren didn't expect her father to kill her sister, and she was stupid for a while, and her little face suddenly turned pale, and she stood in the distance, not knowing what to do.

Knowing that Zhu Yujiao had lost too much blood, obviously she couldn't survive, Zhu Youzhen didn't look at it again, he stared at the blood-red and somewhat scattered pupils, held the sword, and walked quickly towards Princess Zhaoren, probably thinking that it was too bloody just now, this time he changed to a stab, and before Princess Zhaoren moved, the sword had pierced her heart.

Princess Zhaoren didn't say a word, just stroked the sword with her little hand, and glanced at Zhu Youzhen, with the same doubts in her eyes.

The adult world, she really doesn't understand!

Zhu Youzhen looked at the corpses of Princess Changping and Princess Zhaoren, the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a bang, the two swords just now, seemed to have exhausted all his mental strength, he gasped, fell to the ground, his hair was scattered, his eyes were slightly closed, and his face was covered with blood, which was completely a terrible ghost.

I don't know how long it took, Zhu Youzhen was awakened by the sound of siege artillery, his eyes suddenly opened, no, he couldn't sit here, he saw that the city was about to be broken, and there was not much time left.

He got up as soon as he could, and hurriedly asked the eunuchs and palace maids to summon Queen Zhou and all the concubines, so that they could quickly unite in Kunning Palace, and asked the palace maids to prepare white silk and send it to Kunning Palace.

Zhu Youzhen wiped the blood stains on the sword, inserted it back into the scabbard, and strode towards Kunning Palace.

Zhou Yufeng didn't know that the two princesses were killed, she welcomed Zhu Youzhen into the hall as always, and when she saw Zhu Youzhen's appearance, she was taken aback, thinking that Zhu Youzhen had gone to the city.

Zhu Youzhen sat down on the wooden chair, stared at Zhou Yufeng twice, and said coldly: "The general trend has gone, the thieves will soon enter the city, and you, as the queen and mother of the country, should also commit suicide." ”

Zhou Yufeng suddenly understood that the bloodstains on Zhu Youzhen's face were not from the mouth of the rogue at all.

It's time, it's time to come!

But I died like this, I was really a little aggrieved, I was not at fault, why should I bear the consequences of martyrdom? Is it because of the identity of the queen?

Zhou Yufeng burst into tears, crying: "The concubine has served Your Majesty for eighteen years, and Your Majesty has never listened to the persuasion of the concubine, even if you are persuaded to move south, Your Majesty will not listen to it, so that it has reached this point today!" wiped her tears with Huang Juan and said, "It's all fate!"

Zhu Youzhen was silent, letting Zhou Yufeng cry so much that the pear blossoms were raining, his only thought was that Zhou Yufeng would end his life quickly, if he had anything to say, he would have time to say it when he arrived at the underworld.

Zhou Yufeng glanced at the indifferent Zhu Youzhen, and understood in her heart that as a queen, her fate could not be changed before the city was broken, and she continued to cry: "If you can die for the Daming Society today, there will be no regrets for the concubine!"

She didn't look at Zhu Youzhen again, took the white silk handed over by the palace maid, stood on the wooden chair, hung the white silk on the beam, tied a dead knot, and then without hesitation, she drilled her head in, kicked her feet away, kicked away the wooden chair, and her body fell suddenly, blocked by the white silk, and floated in the air......

Then Yuan Guifei, the two princesses, Concubine Liu, Concubine Fang, and Concubine Shen rushed to Kunning Palace one after another.

Seeing the swing-like queen Zhou Yufeng, they suddenly understood their situation: martyrdom!

The girls cried together, but Zhu Youzhen was already hard-hearted, and there was no longer the usual husband and wife relationship, he looked at the concubines who remembered the mortal dust, frowned and said coldly: "The palace will be breached soon, the concubines must not fall into the hands of thieves, you are favored by the emperor, you should carefully guard your chastity in order to preserve the etiquette of your ancestors," waved to the concubines, and said: "Learn from the queen, kill yourself!"

Yuan Guifei raised her hazy beautiful eyes, glanced at Zhu Youzhen, and took the lead in taking Bai Aya, Concubine Liu and Concubine Fang were a little slower, and were cut by Zhu Youzhen with his sword.

Seeing that the concubines on the beams of the room were hanging like lanterns, Zhu Youzhen's heart was sour, these were all the concubines who served him...... Just about to get up and leave, he suddenly heard a "poof" sound, and when he raised his eyes, it turned out that the white silk that Yuan Guifei had hanged was broken, and she fell on the gold brick on the ground.

Zhu Youzhen saw that Yuan Guifei's body was moving slightly, obviously still angry, so he stabbed her on the shoulder, and then left Kunning Palace.

Out of Kunning Palace, blown by the night wind, Zhu Youzhen's brain sobered up, and he was almost scared to sweat: There is still Zhang Yan in the Qingong Palace!

Zhang Yan heard that Zhu Youzhen was coming, and she was busy dressing and getting up, and it was too late to freshen up, just to welcome the hall, Zhu Youzhen came in, she hurriedly got up and greeted: "The concubine knocks on the emperor!"

"Yan'er is flat!" There is not the slightest human touch in Zhu Youzhen's words, this person who once brought him infinite pleasure must die now!

He looked at the puzzled Zhang Yan and said, "The rogue is about to enter the city, Yan'er will kill herself quickly, and use the royal etiquette." ”

Zhang Yan understands everything, the Liukou is about to enter the city, the Jingshi can't be saved, she is a royal woman, she must not be defiled by the Liukou, the only way is to martyr the city, from Zhu Youzhen's cold words, she knows that she has no right to choose, and must be at the mercy of Zhu Youzhen!

However, she is the queen of the first emperor Zhu Youxiao, and her body has long been defiled by Zhu Youzhen, how can this account be calculated? Where was the royal rite at that time?

She looked at Zhu Youzhen, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of her beautiful face, which was not only like the joy of liberation, but also like a mockery of Zhu Youzhen!

Zhang Yan didn't hesitate at all, and didn't even have any sadness on her face, she snatched the white silk from the palace maid's hand, hung it on the beam, and waited until her head got into the white silk, then she looked down at Zhu Youzhen, and there was a cold smile on her face, and even threw a flattering eye, and then kicked off the wooden chair and hung her body completely on the white silk......
