Chen Yuexiang followed Li Banghua along the thousand-step corridor towards Chengtianmen, all the way through the six departments and the various yamen of the Zongren Mansion, but saw that each yamen was deserted, and there were not many people moving around at all, and it was estimated that there were fewer in the office.

After walking through the thousand-step corridor, you will enter Chang'an Street, and in front of it is Chengtianmen, which was later called Tiananmen. After passing the Chengtian Gate, you will enter the palace.

Li Banghua has a waist card for entering and exiting the palace, and he can enter the imperial city, Chen Yue is also wearing the official uniform of a third-grade official, and the guards guarding the Chengtian Gate all recognize Li Banghua, the big man of the Imperial History Tower, and he did not stop him, but looked at the two of them in surprise. Even the cabinet university scholar Wei Zaode and others did not come in again after leaving the palace yesterday.

The two of them followed each other just past the noon gate, when suddenly a Jinyi guard captain ran in.

"What's wrong, Lao Li!" A Praetorian Guard officer asked.

"The Zhengyang Gate has been broken, and the thieves have invaded the inner city!" The Jinyi lieutenant named Lao Li shouted, and ran over without stopping.

"Ahh The guards looked at each other, one by one in horror, the inner city was broken, how could this palace city be defended!

"Head, why don't we go too!" One of the Praetorian guards cautiously led the guard.

"Alas, go back to your own house and find your own mother!" The Commander sighed, shook his hand and threw away his weapon, and the other Praetorian guards scattered with him.

Chen Yue and Li Banghua watched all this blankly, and in front of them, the guards guarding the noon gate of the palace gave up their duties, gave up the emperor in the palace, and escaped separately.

"Not good!" Chen Yue shouted and stopped, guarding the Zhengyang Gate is the right battalion soldiers, the Zhengyang Gate is broken, which means that the right battalion soldiers have been destroyed, and there are more than 1,500 of their own guards outside the Daming Gate, without their own command, they will definitely stay there. No, I had to get back to the team quickly and get out of the way with them.

"What's wrong?" Li Banghua exclaimed, and grabbed Chen Yue's sleeve.

"Master Li, it's too late for anything, I have to hurry back to the army, why don't you go with me." Chen Yue said hurriedly. With an army in hand, you can survive in this troubled era, and without an army, even if you want to vote for Dashun, you can't do it. At present, the right battalion is late, and this pro-guard battalion cannot be completed, and it must be controlled in its own hands.

"Lord Chen, the inner city is broken, and the thieves will definitely attack the palace next, Your Majesty's safety, and the survival of the Ming Dynasty depends on you. Come with me into the palace and save Your Majesty! Li Banghua clutched Chen Yue's sleeve and shouted loudly.

"Oh, my Lord Li, this outer city and inner city are all broken, Daming is over, how can I, Chen Yue, save Your Majesty and save Daming?" Chen Yue smiled bitterly and said helplessly, this old man's strength suddenly became very strong, and he couldn't get rid of it for a while.

"Chen Yue! Your family has been a military household of the Ming Dynasty for generations, and your ancestors were all officers in the Beijing camp, do you want to abandon the king and be a disloyal and unfilial person? Li Banghua scolded sharply.

"Lord Li, there are so many ministers and so many noble generals in this city, why do you have to look for me if you don't look for it? I am also without soldiers and generals now, what can I do alone? Even if I can save Your Majesty, how can I escape from the capital? Chen Yuefen said, only hoping to get rid of Li Banghua's pull and quickly return to the army.

Li Banghua is an old man of fifty or sixty years old, how can his strength be compared to Chen Yue, Chen Yue grabbed his arm with one hand, and pulled his sleeve out of his hand.

"Lord Chen, you just can't save Your Majesty, so you can take the prince out, this Ming can't die!" Li Banghua sat on the ground and shouted sadly at Chen Yue.

Hmph, time is so urgent, I don't even have time to save Chongzhen, let alone his son! Chen Yue snorted coldly, and when he turned around to leave, a smiling face suddenly came into his heart.

Chen Yue walked a few steps, and couldn't help but stop, Princess Kunxing's face became clearer and clearer in his mind, and a smile pulled at his mind like magic, it was so clean, so innocent.

No, it's already at this moment, and I can't care about you, Chen Yue apologized to Princess Kunxing in his heart, and forcibly raised his steps. But his legs were like being filled with lead, but he couldn't move, and a scene suddenly flashed in front of him, Chongzhen held a sharp sword and yelled "You shouldn't have been born in the emperor's family", and then a sword was slashed, the sword fell and blood splattered, and an arm fell to the ground!

"Ahh Chen Yue suddenly screamed, and his heart hurt as if he had been stabbed with a sword. Thinking of the injury that Kun Xing was about to receive, and the tragic and short life that followed, an unspeakable pain surged into his heart, and he couldn't take a step anymore.

Only then did Chen Yue realize the status of that cute little princess in his heart. If she is allowed to be hurt, even if she can escape from Beijing and escape to a safe place in the south, the pain in her heart may never heal again, so what happiness can she be!

"Lord Chen!" Seeing that Chen Yue stopped, Li Banghua thought that his own persuasion had worked, and there was hope in his heart, and he exclaimed in surprise.

Chen Yue looked at Li Banghua with a complicated expression, and walked towards Miyagi without saying a word. Li Banghua hurriedly stood up, carried the placket of his robe, and trotted behind Chen Yue.

The news of the breaking of Zhengyangmen has spread all over the palace at this moment, the palace is full of palace people who are scurrying around like headless flies, the guards guarding the palace have long disappeared, Chen Yue and Li Banghua passed through the noon gate and walked to the front of the Taihe Palace, and no one cared.

After the Taihe Palace, it is the Zhonghe Palace, the Baohe Palace, and then the Qianqing Palace where Chongzhen lives, but what puzzles Li Banghua is that after Chen crossed the Baohe Palace, he did not go all the way forward, but turned around and went to the northeast.

"Lord Chen, are you going in the wrong direction?" Li Banghua asked breathlessly.

"That's right, Your Majesty is not in the Qianqing Palace now." Chen Yue said casually.

"Ahh How do you know? Li Banghua was simply surprised, looked at Chen Yue who was walking straight forward, and then looked at the Qianqing Palace on the left, gritted his teeth and followed Chen Yue.

......

Chongzhen took Wang Chengen to Taihe Palace, wanting to convene the ministers to discuss matters, just out of the Qianqing Palace, suddenly there was a noise outside, "Zhengyang Gate is broken, and the thieves have entered the inner city!" Some of the eunuchs shouted and fled in all directions.

Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the inner city to fall so quickly, since this is the case, what is the use of summoning the ministers!

Now that the destruction of the city is a foregone conclusion, I must not let the royal face be humiliated again! At the last moment, Chongzhen's expression firmed.
