Text Chapter 962 Chongzhen's death

After going crazy in the harem, Zhu Youzhen's matter had been completed, and his body seemed to be hollowed out in an instant, sitting on the wooden chair in the palace, and he forgot to get up in a daze.

The little eunuch Zhang Yin has been following Zhu Youzhen's side, he was worried that Zhang Yan's corpse would be abnormal and startled Zhu Youzhen, so he leaned over and whispered: "Your Majesty, do you want to go back to the Qianqing Palace first......

"Qianqing Palace?" Only then did Zhu Youzhen come to his senses, the Liukou was about to enter the city, whether it was the Miaoqin Palace or the Qianqing Palace, it would not be safe, he couldn't wait for the Liukou in the palace, and he didn't want to see Li Zicheng's face.

The princesses and concubines are dead, and they are all waiting for themselves!

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly stood up and wanted to go back to the Qianqing Palace to commit suicide, but when he arrived at the Jiaotai Palace, he suddenly remembered the three princes, they could hide in the people, why couldn't they?

He is not greedy for life and afraid of death, but to see the fate of the rogue Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng broke the Beijing division and destroyed the imperial tomb, there will be no good end, if you can see Li Zicheng's fate, although he has no regrets in this life!

The rumbling sound of cannon seemed to be in his ears, and Zhu Youzhen knew that the fall of the Jingshi was only in the evening.

He asked Zhang Yin to immediately find Wang Chengen and prepare his outfit for him.

After a while, Wang Chengen followed Zhang Yin to the Qianqing Palace, served Zhu Youzhen to wash off the blood stains on his face, changed into eunuch clothes, and handed him a three-eyed gun in his hand.

Zhang Yin took the opportunity to gather all the more than ten eunuchs nearby, and the eunuchs each held blades, mainly knives and guns, and a sharp axe.

Wang Chengen led Zhu Youzhen to Donghua Gate, and then went out of the palace first, but there was a rain of arrows outside Donghua Gate, and I don't know if it was from the officers and soldiers or from the rogues.

Zhu Youzhen thought that the imperial city outside the Donghua Gate had been lost, so he did not dare to open the door, turned to the west, went out of the palace from the Xihua Gate, and came to the Chaoyang Gate, but at this time the sky was not bright, and the Chaoyang Gate was closed.

Wang Chengen was in a hurry, so he said that he was a eunuch surnamed Wang, and he was ordered by the emperor to go out of the city on an errand.

During the war, such a reason was obviously not satisfactory, and the soldiers defending the city glanced at Wang Chengen and felt that it was more eye-catching, so he said: "It's okay to be ordered to do an errand, but there must be a seal in the palace, and without a seal, you must not open the door!"

"It's convenient for the military master," Wang Chengen handed over a piece of silver cake of ten taels, and said with a smile: "When we left the palace, we were in a hurry, we forgot to seal it, and we turned it back to get it, and we will miss the time, our errand is too important, and we can't afford to delay it in extraordinary times!"

The soldier took the silver cake, tossed it in his hand, put it in his mouth and took a bite, with a smile on his face, he took the silver cake into his arms, and said, "In the middle of the night, how can more than ten eunuchs go out of the city on an errand?" You are clearly going to flee out of the city, for the sake of the money, I will not embarrass you, where to come and where to go back!"

Wang Chengen's eyes were dark, he accepted the money, but he refused to do anything, where is the rule? He glanced at it, the soldiers guarding the city were obviously more than the number of eunuchs, if he fought hard, whether he could seize the door or not, the emperor's identity would definitely be exposed, and he hurriedly bowed down and said carefully: "It's really the emperor's order that is difficult to disobey, the military master is convenient, and there will be a good reward in the next day!"

"Even after dawn, if you want to go out of the city, you must also have the seal of the palace," the defender put his hand on his neck and said, "This is a matter of losing your head, who dares to open the door without permission?" ”

Zhu Youzhen quietly squeezed forward, followed Wang Chengen's example, handed over another piece of silver cake, and said pitifully: "The military master can make it convenient, if we can't do it in time, the emperor will punish him after we go back!"

The city guards took the silver cake again, this time stuffed it directly into their arms, and said with a smile: "The one guarding the Chaoyang Gate is Lord Chengguo Zhu, if you want to open the door in the middle of the night, you must have a warrant from Lord Guogong, and there is no other way," Thinking of Zhu Youzhen, he arched his hand, and said: "You go quickly, otherwise you will be found by the patrol people, and you will be questioned as a thief's spies!"

Zhu Youzhen wanted to cry without tears, he fled this time, he was in a hurry, there was not much silver around him, he spent twenty taels in a row, but he failed to buy a road, he really felt sorry for the silver.

Wang Chengen saw that the defenders of the city were resolute, and knew that if he continued to talk about it, it would only be a waste of time, so he took Zhu Youzhen and the eunuchs to find Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo.

Zhu Youzhen naturally couldn't show up, otherwise everything would be a gang, and Wang Chengen, as the "Admiral of Beijing", went to visit Zhu Chunchen.

finally ran to Zhu's house, but the housekeeper told Wang Chengen that Cheng Guogong went out for a banquet and has not returned.

Wang Chengen used the silver and asked Cheng Guogong where to go to the banquet, but Fu Ding really didn't know, and after receiving the silver, he still couldn't say why.

Zhu Youzhen's heart was dripping blood, but he could only go back, and under the leadership of Wang Chengen, he came to Zhengyangmen in the south.

On the head of the city of Zhengyangmen, there are three bright lanterns hanging high, the figures are shaking, and the sound of killing is endless, and now the thieves are fiercely attacking the city.

Since there are thieves in the south, not only Zhengyangmen, but also Xuanwu and Chongwenmen cannot go out, Wang Chengen took Zhu Youzhen back and left, wanting to get out of the city from the north.

East, west, and south are not working, and the north is the last hope, and it is necessary to get out of the city before dawn.

Everyone trot, the eunuchs have always been used to hard work, and it is nothing to take this road, but Zhu Youzhen is always walking in the dragon and tiger, why did he run around and escape in the dark night?

Fatigue and foot pain, Zhu Youzhen was out of breath for a long time, and finally followed the eunuchs to the north, Wang Chengen did not dare to go to Desheng, so he took Zhu Youzhen to Andingmen.

Andingmen has always been a manure truck, much quieter than the other city gates.

The same is true today, there are no defenders at the gates, and the defenders are apparently scattered.

If it was a normal day, Zhu Youzhen found that there were no defenders in Andingmen, and he would definitely punish the chief general who defended the city, but today, the defenders of the city left their posts without permission and dispersed, but it was very likely to save his life.

Zhu Youzhen's heart was so numb that he couldn't think about anything.

Wang Chengen led the eunuchs to search in front of him, and when he was sure that there were no guards in the city and no rogues outside the city, he took Zhu Youzhen to the city gate.

Zhang Yin wanted to receive the merit, and rushed to the city gate first, and with the faint light of the fire in the distance, he touched it with his hand, and almost screamed, "Your Majesty, the princess, the city gate is blocked......"

"What? Who blocked the gates? Zhu Youzhen rushed to the front, took a closer look, and almost shed tears, the city gate was hanged by heavy iron chains, and it couldn't be opened at all.

The last way to survive is also blocked!

Wang Chengen stepped forward, looked at the iron chain, his brows wrinkled into two first quarter moons, looked up at the sky, the east had already shown a glimmer of dawn, the sky was about to dawn, he gritted his teeth, to: "For today's plan, the only way to cut the iron chain is to use a knife and axe!"

Zhu Youzhen knew that it was about to dawn, that is, there was a way to live, and now it was too late, so he shouted at the eunuch: "Quick, cut the chain with a knife and axe." ”

The sound of "clanging" sounded for a while, like a blacksmith shop that got up early to open the furnace, however, the heavy iron chain only showed a trace of scarring, and it was still early to cut it!

At this time, the sky was already bright, and within ten steps, he could already see people's faces clearly, Wang Chengen sighed, knowing that he couldn't get out today.

Zhu Youzhen was very frustrated, everything seemed to be going wrong, and in desperation, he had to return to the palace from Xihuamen.

He didn't care about breakfast, came to the front of the Huangji Palace, and personally rang the Jingyang bell, wanting to be anxious about the ministers and discuss the plan to defend the city, but it was really not possible, and it was good to think of a way to get out of the city.

Zhu Youzhen secretly decided that if anyone, even if it was a eunuch, as long as he persuaded him to give up the Jingshi and stay useful, he would accept it, and last night's experience made him understand how difficult it was to find a way to live......

The bell had been struck three times, but there was nothing unusual in the palace, not even the sound of noisy footsteps, and not a single courtier came to the court.

Zhu Youzhen still didn't give up, thinking that the ministers were lucky to defend the city last night, but they hadn't gotten up yet, and they knocked twice, but there was still no change, they obviously didn't want to come to the Emperor's Palace to serve the edict!

He dropped Zhong Shi in despair, sat down on the ground in despair, and in anger, he scolded the ministers, "Everyone should be killed, and all the generals should ......be killed."

The eunuchs who followed Zhu Youzhen last night have gradually dispersed, only Wang Chengen and Zhang Yin have been following Zhu Youzhen's side, Zhang Yin saw Zhu Youzhen's dejected look, and said: "The emperor doesn't need to be worried, the slave has a good plan here!"

Zhu Youzhen was overjoyed, and his cloudy eyes instantly brightened, "What is your good plan?" As long as I get through this difficulty, I will be rewarded!"

Zhang Yin hurriedly said: "The thieves really entered the city, they just need to surrender and they will be fine, didn't the thieves ask the emperor to write an edict of abdication?" ”

Zhu Youzhen was furious, at this time, what else did he say about the edict and Zen concession? He pulled out his sword, stabbed Zhang Yin to death with a sword, and then threw the sword, even unhooking the scabbard on his body and throwing it away.

Wang Chengen sighed silently, but he was speechless.

Zhu Youzhen glanced at Wang Chengen, sighed, and said, "You can go too, the thieves are about to enter the city, and I should go!"

"The slave will always be by the emperor's side!" Wang Chengen knew that Zhu Youzhen had given up his determination to escape, and at this time, what could he do if he didn't give up?

Zhu Youzhen finally glanced at the Huangji Palace, where he had worked for seventeen years, the corners of his mouth twitched, and then resolutely turned back, all the way forward, walked through the Zhongji Palace, walked through the Jianji Palace, and walked through the Qianqing Palace, Jiaotai Palace, Kunning Palace, from the Kunning people out of the Imperial Garden, and finally through the Xuanwu Gate, to the Coal Mountain, along the way, there was no stop, it seemed that there was nothing in the palace city, there was nothing he left behind.

Wang Chengen followed, went up the coal mountain, and stopped at the Shouhuang Pavilion.

At this time, Zhu Youzhen was very embarrassed, his long hair was scattered, only a white shirt was left on his upper body, his right foot was bare, and only his left foot was wearing a red shoe, he stood by the Shouhuang Pavilion, looking back, the sky was already bright, and the shouts and guns that originally resounded throughout the city seemed to have stopped, and he muttered: "Cheng'en, has the whole city fallen?" ”

Wang Chengen arched his hand and said: "At least the coal mountain has not fallen!"

A smile appeared at the corner of Zhu Youzhen's mouth, the coal mountain had not fallen, and it was impossible for Li Zicheng to catch him, but he was thinking in his heart, if he accepted Li Zicheng's suggestion yesterday and passed on the edict to the Zen position, would it be another situation today?

It was Wei Zaode who harmed me, no, all the Wenchen are hateful, they are the ones who hurt me! I have been so tolerant to them, but now none of them are with me.

It's sad!

It was only after listening to them that I lost the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, and I ...... What face do I have to meet my ancestors and fathers?

I'm going to die, but what about the ministers? They're probably waiting for the new emperor to enter the city, right? When the new emperor enters the city, they can still be their courtiers, but I ......

Zhu Youzhen decided not to let these ungrateful courtiers serve as officials in the new dynasty.

He tore off his shirt, held it in his hand, bit his middle finger again, and wrote quickly: "I have been on the throne for seventeen years, and the traitors have approached the Beijing Division. I die, I have no face to see my ancestors in the ground, I will remove my crown, cover my face with my hair, let the thief split the corpse, and don't hurt the people!"

Zhu Youzhen handed over the written suicide note to Wang Chengen and said: "I have no face to see my ancestors and ancestors, and after I die, I will cover my face!"

Without waiting for Wang Chengen to agree, he had already untied his belt, put the belt on a crooked neck tree under the Shouhuang Pavilion with trembling hands, tied a dead knot, held the belt with both hands, put his head in, and swung his body out without hesitation......

The last time Zhu Youzhen saw this world turned out to be his own feet - one was barefoot and the other was wearing red shoes!

Wang Chengen kept kneeling in front of Zhu Youzhen, and waited until Zhu Youzhen's body was cold before getting up, scattering Zhu Youzhen's hair, covering his face, and folding Zhu Youzhen's suicide note and putting it in his jacket pocket, half inside and half exposed.

He turned around and looked at the palace not far to the south, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he muttered: "Your Majesty, the slave has come to serve you!" He untied his belt and hanged himself from a tree below.
