Chapter 58: Suicide Attempt
Facts have proved that there are always more people who are afraid of death than brave people, and under Li Jinglong's intimidation, coercion, and temptation, most of the generals of the Southern Army, who are soft eggs, finally compromised, and the gate slowly opened less than an hour after the Southern Army surrounded Jinchuan Gate.
The corners of Zhu Di's mouth, who had been waiting for a long time, hooked up a sneer, and rode a war horse towards Jinchuan Gate first, without the slightest scruple about whether it would be a trap.
The shouting of killing was instantaneous, and many unknown soldiers raised their long knives and pounced, but the Yan army's iron cavalry had already red eyes, and Lun raised the steel knife to cut the generals, showing no mercy, and Li Jinglong and other generals had long since lost their sights, and most of the soldiers were disarmed before they could react, and a group of soldiers squatted in the corner under the supervision of the Yan army.
He Fu, who was at Suzaku Gate, heard the report from the herald and knew that Kyoto could not be held! Da Ming is going to die! Is it a battle or a surrender? This is the main problem He Fu is currently facing. After thinking about it for a long time, He Fu still planned to fight to the end, after all, there were still 100,000 troops in his hands!
After entering the city, Zhu Di was not complacent, before he ascended the throne, what was the difference, who can say for sure? The more we are at this juncture, the more cautious we must be! With a quick turn of his head, he issued a battle order in an instant: "Zhu Neng, Zhang Yu, you two lead 80,000 elites to clear the Jingshi, if there is any resistance, they will be killed!" Remember, don't disturb the people, I don't need to say more! In addition, inform to go down, surrender and not kill! ”
Zhang Yu and the two commanded the army to kill everywhere, and the firefighter He Fu was also in chaos at the moment, the command system had been destroyed, and it was not clear what the situation was between the gates, and the city could only be seen from the city gate to catch fire and kill. I had no choice but to take 20,000 Suzaku Gate defenders to kill the Yan army, as for what the other city gates did, He Fu couldn't control it anymore!
Zhu Di was not idle, and waved his big hand and said: "Zhu Gaoxu, you lead the remaining 10,000 to follow this king into the palace to face the saint!" Guardian Dragon Frame! Zhu Gaoxu's face was happy, if he could capture Zhu Yunwen alive, how much credit would this be? Haha laughed twice and happily accepted the order. Qin Yu naturally followed Zhu Di together, and 10,000 elite soldiers rushed towards the imperial city non-stop.
...
At this time, Zhu Yunwen was completely crazy, after the city gate was opened, he heard the sound of shouting and killing from everywhere, Zhu Yunwen had already made up his will to die, and resolutely pulled out the sword of the Son of Heaven handed down by Zhu Yuanzhang, and walked towards the Qianning Palace of the harem with a dead face.
"Your Majesty, what are you going to do here?" Queen Ma, who is deeply favored by Zhu Yunwen on weekdays, looked at Zhu Yunwen with red eyes and a long sword at this time, and said timidly.
Zhu Yunwen smiled coldly and said, "Hehe, Zhu Di has already entered Kyoto!" I am determined to die on the Day of the Dead, as the queen, you should also fulfill the righteousness! To keep your innocence in the world! ”
Hearing Zhu Yunwen say this, Queen Ma instantly lost her six gods, and just muttered: "Zhu Di has entered the capital..."
Zhu Yunwen ignored Queen Ma and said to the eunuch surnamed Wang: "Big companion, go and find Concubine Hui and Concubine Ning, I want to die with them!" ”
The eunuch surnamed Wang was very indifferent, and never questioned Zhu Yunwen's approach, although Concubine Hui and other concubines were Zhu Yunwen's favorite concubines, but as a eunuch, only His Majesty the Emperor was loyal.
Concubine Hui and Concubine Ning and other concubines were soon brought into the palace where Zhu Yunwen was, and at this moment, although Queen Ma was full of resentment in her heart, she had already accepted the facts, who let herself fight for this queen in the first place? Want to marry into the royal family? Queen Ma's face looked very indifferent at the moment, but the concubine couldn't accept it, marrying into the royal family, wouldn't she just want to be glorious and rich? Family members can also be naked, but who is willing to be martyred today?
Queen Ma said coldly: "Hehe, the king's death festival, as a concubine, what do you look like when you cry and cry?" Could it be that the sisters still want to be insulted by Zhu Di and a group of Ziqiu Ba!? ”
However, in the face of life and death, Queen Ma's words were really insignificant, and the frightened concubines didn't listen to it at all, so Queen Ma was annoyed and scolded angrily: "What have they become one by one!" Get up and dress up for me, and if you want to die, you have to be decent, otherwise don't blame the palace guards for enforcing the law in person! ”
As a woman, there really isn't much choice in such an era of monarchy, I heard the queen say this, and they all accepted their fate, and helped each other up to comb their eyebrows, the queen was right, if you want to die, you have to be decent, and dying in the hands of the guards and committing suicide are both fundamentally different in nature, anyway, they are both dead, and how to choose how to die, it is naturally better to cut themselves, and they can also fall into the name of integrity!
The eunuch surnamed Wang led a group of old eunuchs, and sent a stack of white silk with an expressionless face, neatly tied a row of knots on the beam, and put a row of stools, and then left, it can be seen that they are all veterans, and they have done these things, and at this time, only Zhu Yunwen and his concubines are left in the hall.
Zhu Yunwen had already put down the long sword in his hand at this moment, if he really wanted him to kill people himself, he couldn't do it, and said with teary eyes: "Concubines, I'm useless!" The vast country and mountains, a million male soldiers can't defeat the 100,000 soldiers and horses from a feudal town! Now that the Yan thief is afraid that he is about to enter the palace, I don't want to be humiliated by this person's hands, so I will die with the concubines today to protect my innocence, and the glorious annals of history will finally reveal Zhu Di's face! Return my innocence in the world! ”
The concubines kept crying, but Queen Ma still didn't lose a bit of the majesty of the world, and she was already sitting next to Zhu Yunwen, not crying or making trouble, Zhu Yunwen who was watching sighed secretly, and hated in her heart!
"Go first, I'll come later!" Thinking that time was running out, Zhu Yunwen stood up and pointed at Bai Aya and said lightly.
Although the concubine was reluctant, she still stood up tremblingly, stepped on the low stool, closed her eyes tightly, and slowly put her head into the white silk.
Queen Ma also stepped on the low stool, and said to Zhu Yunwen with a gentle face: "Your Majesty, the concubine is leaving, and I will serve Your Majesty in this life, and I have no regrets or regrets!" ”
Zhu Yunwen closed his eyes tightly, tears continued to ooze from the corners of his eyes, Queen Ma and other concubines kicked open the low stool under their feet, and with a muffled snort, Bai Aya hung her neck tightly, kept bounceing her legs, and made a whining sound in her mouth, her expression was extremely terrifying, Zhu Yunwen quickly turned around, not daring to look again.
After a while, there was no sound, Zhu Yunwen looked back at the tragic death of the concubine, his eyes were wide, his tongue was sticking out, and his expression was also distorted.
When the Yan army broke through the city gate, Qi Taifang and Xiaoru, who had just returned home, received the news, and hurriedly rushed into the palace in the hope of discussing a countermeasure with Zhu Yunwen, but after looking for a long time, they did not find Zhu Yunwen's figure, and they caught a little eunuch who ran away indiscriminately and asked, only then did they know that Zhu Yunwen was ready to cut himself!
The frightened two didn't care about etiquette and humility, so they ran to the harem without any hindrance, and hurriedly pushed away Zhu Yunwen's bedroom, and before anyone arrived, they shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, don't do stupid things!" ”
Zhu Yunwen was also entangled in his heart at this time, wanting to die but afraid of death, hearing a loud roar outside the door, his legs were actually weak, and his head was tightly buckled by Bai Aya, and he kicked the low stool under his feet with a random kick, and was hung straight on top of Bai Aya!
Fang Xiaoru and the others didn't dare to slack off, as soon as they entered the house, they saw Zhu Yunwen who was struggling on the white silk, and hurriedly ran over to lift Zhu Yunwen's legs, Qi Tai was not idle, and hurriedly stepped on the low stool to untie the knot around Zhu Yunwen's neck.
Fang Xiaoru was old and frail, Zhu Yunwen was unbuttoned around his neck, and fell backwards as soon as he was weak, Fang Xiaoru did not hold it, so he followed Zhu Yunwen straight backwards, and the two fell together and ate, looking extremely embarrassed.
