But even though these grave keepers are all brave and sacrifice their lives, in the final analysis, they are just a group of ordinary people.

Although they were tasked with defending the Imperial Tomb, how could they have received a day of military training?

No, not a day, let alone killing.

At this time, they were facing Li Zicheng, the leader who had been rebelling for seven or eight years, and his forty or fifty thousand wolf-like thieves.

These thieves, at this time, all have green eyes, like wolves, because this is the imperial tomb, and there are countless gold and silver treasures buried in it, as long as they are dug up, these gold and silver treasures will belong to them.

The huge wealth stimulates their desires and stirs their nerves, not to mention that these are just ordinary tomb keepers in front of them, that is, the king of heaven, Lao Tzu, they also dare to wave their swords at each other.

Therefore, in the face of the huge gap in strength, these grave keepers were hacked to the ground one after another, and then they were trampled on, and their deaths were extremely miserable.

"Smash me!"

After killing those tomb guards, Li Zicheng rushed into the imperial tomb with his men, pointed to the tomb of Emperor Taizu Gao's father, and shouted loudly.

"Eight hundred miles expedited, eight hundred miles expedited, dodge, dodge,,,"

A fast horse galloped on the streets of the capital, heading towards the palace, and the people on the street avoided one after another, for fear of being bumped into.

This is a fast horse that passes 800 miles of urgency, if it is hit by such a horse, let alone the people, even if it is an official, it will be in vain.

The fast horse galloped all the way to the palace and sent the eight-hundred-mile expedited paperwork in.

The document went around and around, and finally came into the hands of Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, Zhou Yanru was shocked when he saw the content of the document, and he didn't react for a long time.

Seeing this, Qian Qianyi, the second assistant of the cabinet on the side, couldn't help asking: "Lord Zhou, what's wrong with you, what happened?" ”

Now the government of the Ming Dynasty is basically controlled by Zhou Yanru's party and Qian Qianyi's Donglin party, and other neutral officials basically don't even have a place to stand.

It was the household secretary who was dedicated to the country, who was strict with himself, and now he was also expelled from the court by the Donglin Party led by Qian Qianyi, and returned to his hometown.

And he Qian Qianyi, at this time it is the spring breeze proud, all the way to see the Chang'an flowers, last month, he officially entered the cabinet, became the cabinet deputy assistant, for a time, the Donglin Party forces all over the court, is the cabinet first assistant Zhou Yanru, but also have to look at his face.

Qian Qianyi asked, but Zhou Yanru didn't seem to hear at all, just holding the eight-hundred-mile urgent paperwork, and his hands kept shaking.

Qian Qianyi also had an ominous premonition in his heart at this time, could it be that the Tartars came in again?

didn't care about it, Qian Qianyi took the document in Zhou Yanru's hand, and checked it carefully, it didn't matter if he looked at it, after reading it, he himself was so frightened that his face turned pale.

"Lord Zhou, there are still important matters in the Xiaguan Mansion, and the Xiaguan will retire first."

Qian Qianyi spoke, but without waiting for Zhou Tingru to speak, he put the paperwork on the table, turned around and left.

Just kidding, this is the royal ancestral tomb being dug up, such a sky-breaking thing is more serious than the Tartars entering the customs, who dares to report such a letter, who loves to go, anyway, he Qian Qianyi will not go to this troubled water.

At this time, Qian Qianyi was somewhat lucky, fortunately, he was not the first assistant of the cabinet, otherwise, he would not be able to hide from this bad head today.

"Lord Wu, this official still has some things to deal with, you should send these 800 miles of urgent documents to the emperor."

Zhou Yanru said to an official beside him.

The official had already discovered that Zhou Yanru and Qian Qianyi's faces were wrong, and at this time, seeing that the matter had fallen on his head, he knew that things were not good.

"Lord Zhou, my father suddenly became seriously ill, and the lower officials wanted to visit him at home, so he took his leave first."

After speaking, the official didn't wait for Zhou Yanru to reply, but also turned around and ran away.

Zhou Yanru was very angry, but he didn't want to lose his temper, and then looked at the other officials who were doing things on the side.

When those officials saw Zhou Yanru looking at him, they were all frightened, and then they all bowed their hands and said goodbye, but in the blink of an eye, there was no one left.

Zhou Yanru had no choice but to go and present it himself.

"Emperor, Lord Zhou has an expedited document submission of eight hundred miles!"

Emperor Chongzhen, who was reviewing the folds, listened to Wang Chengen's words, and couldn't help but be stunned, and the brush in his hand was also fixed in mid-air.

Eight hundred miles of urgent documents, as long as these words appear, it must have happened a big event, and this big thing is often a bad thing, otherwise, if it is a good thing, it will be a big victory.

"Let him in."

Not long after, Zhou Yanru came.

"Your Majesty, eight hundred miles are urgent, please take a look at the emperor!"

As soon as Zhou Yanru came in, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and at the same time raised the document with both hands, but his forehead was still tightly attached to the ground.

Wang Chengen hurriedly took the document and presented it to Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen took the paperwork, feeling Zhou Yanru's panicked mood, and he himself was a little afraid to open it.

But you can't look at it, because he's the emperor!

With an extremely heavy heart, Emperor Chongzhen opened the document, only to see that it was written: Li Zicheng led the thieves to capture Fengyang Mansion City, slaughtered the people of Fengyang, and burned the Fengyang Emperor's Mausoleum!

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the lines of words incredulously, his chest turned over the river and the sea, and his face was swollen and red.

"Impossible, impossible, this must be fake!"

Emperor Chongzhen shouted hysterically, and then overturned the table in front of him, and with a few "bangs", pen, ink, paper, and inkstones were scattered on the ground, and the table also fell to the ground.

"Zhou Yanru, how did you become the first assistant of the cabinet!"

Emperor Chongzhen was so angry that he kicked Zhou Yanru hard and kicked him to the ground.

"The minister's capital crime, the minister's capital crime, the minister's incompetence, the minister's crime deserves death, but please take care of the dragon's body!"

Zhou Yanru kept kowtowing his head, and after a few clicks, his forehead was bright red.

"Take care of the dragon body, take care of the dragon body, how do you let me take care of the dragon body? I can't even keep my ancestral grave, what face do you want me to see my ancestors underground! ”

When Emperor Chongzhen said this, he only felt a surge of blood in his chest, and then with a "poof", a mouthful of old blood spurted out, splashing Zhou Yanru in front of him.

"Emperor! Emperor! ”

Wang Chengen on the side saw Emperor Chongzhen spitting blood from his mouth, and then his body was shaky and unstable on his feet, so he hurriedly held him up and shouted loudly.

But at this time, where could Emperor Chongzhen hear, as soon as his eyes were closed, he fainted.
