readx;
When she was hanging, someone suddenly broke in, which surprised Queen Zhou, could it be that she didn't even have the qualifications to commit suicide?
Queen Zhou thought that the eunuchs in the palace had come to clean up, and just wanted to get up and scold, but unexpectedly saw a child, followed by a woman, these two people were not dressed as Central Plains people, and when Queen Zhou was surprised, she only heard the man behind her shout softly, "Go in!" The two of them were pushed into Kunning Palace. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Qinglong?!" Empress Zhou was stunned, she couldn't believe her eyes at all, the green dragon that everyone was looking forward to day and night would suddenly appear in Kunning Palace!
"! The subordinate escort is late, please punish the mother! After Zhu Qing entered the door, he immediately apologized to Queen Zhou.
"You're finally back!" Queen Zhou was surprised and delighted, but soon, she shook her head again, "It's a pity, it's late." ”
"Mother, what the hell is going on? What about the emperor? Zhu Qing looked at the white silk in Queen Zhou's hand, although he had already guessed seven or eight points, but he still couldn't believe it, he couldn't believe that Chongzhen gave up like this, and he couldn't believe that Killing Feng and his Jinyi Wei brothers were over like this.
"Overseer, where did you come from? Why don't you even know that something so big is happening outside? Empress Zhou's maid Zhiyun wondered.
Zhu Qing looked at the people in the Kunning Palace, there were really only a few people in front of him, and said, "The city gate is heavily guarded, it is not easy to break through, I came in from the river, and the river is the closest to the Kunning Palace, so it just so happens that the two hostages in my hands are the most suitable to be placed in the Kunning Palace, so I didn't go to the front." ”
"These two?" Empress Zhou looked at Da Yu'er and Fu Lin suspiciously, "Looking at the clothes of the two of them, they don't look like us Central Plains people, and these clothes are gorgeous, let alone ordinary people, could it be that the two of them are hostages of the Qing court?!" ”
Zhu Qing nodded, "Exactly, they are the little emperor and the empress dowager of the Qing court." ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhu Qing finished speaking, another maid of Empress Zhou drew her sword and stabbed at Da Yu'er and Xiao Fulin.
"Hey, stop! What are you doing? Zhu Qing exclaimed and hurriedly stepped forward to stop!
"Overseer, they are Tartars who have invaded our land, and their subordinates will kill them quickly!" The maid said, but wanted to continue stabbing the sword.
Zhu Qing had no choice but to gently wave out a palm and bounce the maid to the ground, the maid was angry, and wanted to get up and continue to assassinate, at this time she was suddenly drunk by Queen Zhou, "Embroidery rain, stop!" Although Empress Zhou also hates the Manchus now, she knows that Zhu Qing will definitely have another use for taking these two people to Kunning Palace!
"Niangniang, they invaded my Ming Dynasty and killed my soldiers, and now the soldiers are in the Forbidden City, the emperor has been disheartened, and walked out with the princess, the girls in the palace are all chased and killed by the eunuchs, and it is not easy for us to escape to Kunning Palace. Mother, the Tartars have made our country useless and homeless, and we will also make them pay! Xiuyu was unwilling and cried to Queen Zhou.
When Suzaku escorted the prince and princesses south, she specially ordered the two of them to stay to protect Queen Zhou, if she was not from the martial arts, I am afraid that at this time, she was cleaned up by the eunuchs in the palace like other women in the palace. Now that the two of them have seen Zhu Qing, the commander of the brocade guards, they naturally want to be honored as the overseer!
After listening to Xiuyu's words, the people in the house had their own feelings, and Queen Zhou smiled bitterly, "The matter has come to this, what else can be done, I hope the emperor can be blessed." She thought that Chongzhen had left her and fled, and she couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness in her heart.
After hearing this, Da Yu'er was pleasantly surprised in her heart, because they had forced the Ming Dynasty to a dead end, and judging from the white silk in the hands of Empress Zhou, this may be their fate.
But Zhu Qing's words quickly shattered her illusions!
"What do you say? The Qing army has already reached the Forbidden City? Zhu Qing asked in surprise.
Xiuyu nodded, "In the evening, in order to escape for their lives, the two concubines in the court mistakenly opened the side door on the right side, the Qing army infiltrated, and then the inside and outside should be combined, my Ming soldiers did not have time to block, and the front and back were overwhelmed, Dolgon took the opportunity to capture the Chengtian Gate, and then the Bei'an Gate was also broken by the traitor Zu Dashou, and the Lord Killing Wind led the soldiers of our army to resist to the death, and finally temporarily held the Forbidden City before dark. However, our army suffered heavy casualties, and 780,000 people fought to less than 200,000 in the end. After Xiuyu finished speaking, Queen Zhou couldn't cry anymore when she drank Zhiyun.
After Zhu Qing heard this, he gritted his teeth, grief and indignation, his eyes were filled with tears, and his tears were hot with anger!
"Bang" Zhu Qing angrily pounded on the desk, "The Tartars have committed my Central Plains, and they have deceived people too much!" As he spoke, he suddenly turned around and glared at Da Yu'er and Fulin, he was now eager to kill all the Tartars and let out a bad breath for the dead soldiers, but he couldn't, he stared at Da Yu'er and Fulin, staring at this pair of mother and son who seemed to be weak but could control the millions of troops of the Qing army, staring at them and trembling.
Da Yu'er had never seen Zhu Qing with such a terrifying look, although she was a hostage, but along the way, Zhu Qing took good care of their mother and son, and it didn't look like she was treating the enemy at all, but now, his eyes were full of hostility, Da Yu'er was afraid, he was afraid that this man would do something unexpected, she instinctively hugged her son and curled up in the corner.
"Xiuyu, do you know where the emperor went?" Zhu Qing asked suddenly.
Xiuyu thought for a while and shook her head, "When the emperor was in a hurry, as soon as he went out, the eunuchs surrounded him, and Zhiyun and I were busy dealing with the pursuit of the eunuchs, and we didn't hear his conversation with the prince. ”
At this time, Zhiyun pondered, "I seem to have heard the emperor say to the prince and the prince to go to the highest place in the Forbidden City......."
"Coal Mountain?!" Zhu Qing and Queen Zhou suddenly exclaimed in unison.
"But how can there be a way out of Coal Mountain?" Xiuyu wondered.
Zhu Qing shook his head, his face was suddenly extremely anxious, and he said to Queen Zhou, "Niangniang, there will be an urgent matter to rush to the coal mountain, and these two Qing court hostages will be handed over to you to take care of, before I come back, please be sure to ensure their safety......" Zhu Qing said and suddenly approached Queen Zhou's ear and whispered, "This is the last bet of the Ming Dynasty!" When Queen Zhou heard this, her face was already there, she looked at Zhu Qing's eyes, Zhu Qing nodded at her, and Queen Zhou seemed to see hope again!
"Good, good...... You must find the emperor, and I will help you keep an eye on them! Queen Zhou nodded excitedly!
"Weaving clouds and embroidering rain!" Zhu Qing suddenly shouted.
"The subordinates are here!" Two waitresses answered with swords.
"The two of you stay in Kunning Palace to protect the queen mother and the two Qing court hostages! If there is a mistake, the door rules will be disposed of! If anyone dares to break into Kunning Palace, they will be killed! Zhu Qing ordered the two maids of Empress Zhou.
Hearing that they wanted to protect the two Qing court hostages, the two girls who didn't know where they were going to look at each other looked at each other, hesitated for a moment before nodding in response, "Obey!" ”
Zhu Qing nodded, he walked up to Da Yu'er and Fu Lin before leaving, and said coldly, "If they want to play tricks, they will be killed!" With that, Zhu Qing walked out of Kunning Palace.
"Yes! Overseer! The two maids behind him replied.
Zhu Qing knew in his heart that at this time, if there was a discussion of thoughts and tricks in Kunning Palace, no one would be Da Yu'er's opponent, he could only use force to intimidate!
In order to hide people's eyes and ears, beware of the Qing army spies discovering that Zhu Qing put on a capable night coat before going out, but he didn't expect to meet a few little eunuchs chasing and killing a little princess not far away, and the little princess panicked and crashed into Zhu Qing's arms.
Zhu Qing leaned over and looked at it, shocked in his heart, "Princess Chu Ling?!" "This is Chongzhen's little princess, on weekdays, she is ghostly, running around, presumably when her brothers and sisters went south, this little girl didn't have time to leave, and she was chased and killed by the eunuch at this time.
"Don't cry." Zhu Qing gently wiped the tears of the little princess Chu Ling, and the fourteen-year-old girl looked at the man in black in front of her, first startled, and then stopped crying.
"Stop!" Suddenly, several little eunuchs appeared in the front corridor with gambling knives.
"Who are you?! I don't care about you! Otherwise, I will clean it up with you! A little eunuch shouted angrily and rushed over with someone.
Zhu Qing pushed Princess Chu Ling behind him, and then pulled out the embroidered spring knife.
"Embroidered spring knife?" One person recognized this knife and was shocked.
"Get out of here if you know each other!" Zhu Qing said in a deep voice.
The person who knew the knife just wanted to withdraw, but was unexpectedly grabbed by his accomplices, "What are you afraid of?" After this vote, it's not too late to go in and search for a few treasures! ”
"Humph! When the national disaster is at hand, as the emperor's favorite minister, you don't want to serve the country, and you still want to take advantage of the fire to rob, I will clean up the portal for the emperor today! Zhu Qing shouted angrily.
"Serving the country? Hmph, the country will not be a country, who is stupid enough to put their lives into it? Brothers, let's go together, this kid, and go to the baby! One person shouted, and several little eunuchs slashed at Zhu Qing!
Zhu Qing naturally didn't want to waste too much time on them, and didn't want to entangle with these people, so he suddenly made a big move, and cut down these few little eunuchs who were not yet in the climate in three or two strokes, and the eunuch who knew the knife finally fell, and exclaimed before he died, "Big ...... The Fourteenth Potential ...... of the Ming Dynasty"
"The Fourteen Potentials of the Ming Dynasty? You are? After the eunuch died, Chu Ling was surprised.
Zhu Qing pulled down the mask and smiled slightly, "Little princess, it's me." I've already helped you solve the people who are chasing you, so go to Kunning Palace to find your mother. ”
Unexpectedly, Chu Ling shook his head, and cried again, "Qinglong Hero, Chu Ling is not going, they are chasing and killing Chu Ling everywhere, Chu Ling wants to follow Qinglong Hero." I beg the Qinglong hero not to drive Chu Ling away,......" Chu Ling said, hugging Zhu Qing.
Zhu Qing was helpless, it was not a way to drag it out like this, he knew what Chongzhen was doing in Coal Mountain at this time, he had to save this sad emperor before Chongzhen hung on the crooked neck tree, otherwise the previous efforts would be wasted, and the Ming Dynasty would be finished.
"Okay, I'm going to rush to the coal mountain, the coal mountain is the highest, the enemy can't find it for a while, you don't have to be afraid to go with me." Zhu Qing responded that he couldn't tell Chu Ling that he was going to the coal mountain to find her father, because it was her father who ordered them to be hunted down by the Qing Palace!
"Hmm." The lonely Princess Chu Ling nodded, wiped her tears, and playfully smiled and went on the road with Zhu Qing.
