I don't know how long it took, Queen Zhou regained her senses, and saw Benian squatting down and trying to feed a crimson pill into Princess Kunxing's mouth.

Empress Zhou: "Dao Chief? ”

Don't Nian stopped: "Mother? ”

"Isn't it really painful?"

"No, no."

"That's it, let's not feed Kunxing, she has already fainted and has lost so much blood. Let her fall asleep unconsciously! ”

"Yes, sissy."

"Dao Chief, bring the immortal medicine!"

"Yes, sissy." Bei Nian took out a porcelain plate, took out a crystal bottle from his arms, poured two small red pills from it, knelt in front of Queen Zhou, and held it high above his head.

"So, do you want to take the two pills together?" Empress Zhou asked with a long breath.

Don't read: "No, just one pill." ”

"Then ......" Empress Zhou picked up one and put it in her mouth, and before she could swallow it, the pill instantly turned into a hot little snake as if it had spirituality, and went straight into her belly.

Don't read: "Yu Niangniang, the other one is for the poor Dao's own use." ”

"Ah, why does the Immortal Elder have to be like this?" Queen Zhou was a little surprised: "Immortal Chief, let's hurry up and get out of the palace, even if the thieves break through the inner city, they won't hurt you." ”

Bei Nian suddenly smiled faintly, threw another one into his mouth, and sat cross-legged in front of Queen Zhou: "Yu Niangniang, the poor road is too old, and I don't want to move my nest anymore." Entered the palace at the age of nine, lived in this Forbidden City all his life, and really didn't know where to go when he left? This is my home, and now that I don't have one, do I still have a reason to live? ”

With that, he slowly closed his eyes

。

"Immortal Chief, Immortal Chief." Empress Zhou shouted a few times, but did not answer, she stretched out her finger under Bei Nian's nose, but she couldn't feel any breath.

"The Taoist is walking happily!" Zhou Hou looked out of the door: "Long live Lord, the concubine thinks so much, it seems that I will see you again!" ”

In a trance, she remembered that she had just married to the palace of the king of letters, and the next morning, when she was sitting in front of the window to make up, the prince of the letter quietly walked behind her and lifted the pen to paint her thrush.

Xiao Xuan window, dressing.

That's great!

The body is hotter, and a powerful fatigue hits. 、

Queen Zhou lifted her spirits and tried to recall the night when Long Live Lord first ascended the throne, and excitedly ran to talk to her to report the good news. But it suddenly darkened in front of me, and I didn't know anything.

……

The cannonballs, the noise still came like a tide, because it was far away, and there was no sound, but it was so clear.

"I can't give up, I can't give up, I have to do something!"

Like a walking corpse, Chongzhen somehow walked to a mountain.

When I looked up, I was taken aback, it turned out that I had unknowingly crossed the entire palace and came to the coal mountain due north.

At this moment, the sky was completely dark, and it was dark in front of me, but the sky was extremely bright.

Standing on the hill and looking around, I saw that the entire city of Beijing was lit with fire, dense, like an ocean. The whole night sky was also illuminated by the fire, and it was as bright as day.

There were shouts everywhere, and the inner city was about to fall.

"I can't be a prisoner of thieves, I can't be Emperor Yingzong."

Chongzhen screamed and took a step forward, but his head hit the horizontal branch of a small tree, knocking the horse on his head down.

The long hair suddenly fell loose and covered his face

。

With Venus twinkling in front of him, Chongzhen couldn't help but laugh miserably, and muttered, "Even a small tree has to block my way, is it true that I am going to die here today?" No matter what, no matter what, the Son of Heaven died in Sheji, and I finally didn't shame my ancestors. ”

He untied his belt, hung it from a tree, tore off the hem of his clothes, bit his fingers, wrote his edict, and was about to put it around his neck.

"Long live the lord, long live the lord!" A cry came from behind him.

Chongzhen looked back and saw that it was Wang Chengen.

It turned out that he had been following him.

Chongzhen: "I can't think of it, I can't think of it, in the end, only you, the eunuch, will remain by my side, and none of those ministers and civil officials will be seen." Perhaps, those gentlemen were writing a persuasion form at home, preparing to welcome the new gentleman into the city. The Emperor of the Apocalypse is right, in fact, you officials are truly loyal to me. I have been harsh on your internal officials, and on those who are truly loyal to me. This is true for you, and the same is true for Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Yuan. If Lu Jiandou is still alive, if Sun Yuan is in the capital at the moment, can the thieves attack the capital? I'm wrong, I'm wrong! ”

At this point, he cried out in misery.

Wang Chengen also cried loudly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you probably don't know yet. At the beginning of last year, when Sun Yuan was fighting against Liu Chao's rebellion in Yongcheng, he had an excerpt, asking Your Majesty for your permission to bring him into King Qin. Yes, I am willing to garrison the army to protect the truth, for Your Majesty, and for my Ming Dynasty Gyeonggi Barrier. Your Majesty, if Sun Taichu was in the capital, how could the situation develop into what it is now? ”

"Ah, Sun Taichu has been on the fold, why don't I know?" Chongzhen couldn't help himself, and his face turned red as if he was drunk.

Wang Chengen shook his head again and again, and cried bitterly: "When Sun Yuan's excerpt was sent to the Political Secretary and forwarded to the cabinet, it was directly rejected by the cabinet elders. said yes, Sun Taichu was arrogant and arrogant, if the garrison is true and safe, the army of 100,000 tigers and wolves, who can control it? I am afraid of the disaster of the late Tang Dynasty. The slave didn't know about this, that is, when she reviewed the backlog of the past years and the ministers who stayed in the middle a few days ago, she saw it, but unfortunately it was too late. Your Majesty, as you said, if the Ningxiang army is stationed in Zhending and Baoding, if the thief army dares to come. ”

"Hundreds of officials are mistaken, and I will die in the sky!" Chongzhen screamed sadly: "I'm sorry for Lu Jiandou, I'm sorry for Sun Taichu, I'm sorry for the Tianxiong Army." I also said just now that even if the king dies, even if he dies, it will not disgrace his ancestors. Now it seems that I don't even understand the basic way of employing people, and I am a big dumb man

。 I died, and I didn't have the face to see Taizu, Chengzu, the first emperor Emperor Guangzong, and the emperor's brother Emperor Xizong. With that, he threw his long loose hair over his face, and then stretched his neck into the rope loop, and with a kick of his feet, his whole body hung in the air.

"Slave maid, send long live the lord!" Wang Chengen knelt on the ground and wept loudly, his body trembling violently because of his grief.

That night, the inner city fell.

At noon on the second day, Li Zicheng entered the city.

……

A long procession, the sound of rumbling horses' hooves sounded.

A one-eyed man in simple clothes, like an old farmer who cultivates the land, rode a tall horse and walked at the head of the procession.

All the city gates have been opened, and the 260-year-old Ming Dynasty has finally come to an end.

"Fengtian carrier!" Looking at the tall Chengtian Gate and the plaque above his head, Li Zicheng's eyes flashed with excitement: "Fengtian carrier, hehe, the luck of the Zhu family is over, even God has given up on them." Now, I am the true son of the dragon! ”

He shouted, "Bow here!" ”

A big bow was handed over, Li Zicheng "drank", and pulled it into a full moon: "The Zhu family has won the country for more than 200 years, and the emperor's dragon chair should be replaced by my surname Li." God, if you choose Lao Li, let me shoot that heavenly character. ”

After speaking, he shot towards the plaque with a "boom".

Li Zicheng has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he is skilled in arching horses, but if he wants to shoot that heavenly character in the past, it is also easy.

When this arrow was shot, it was really like a thunderbolt, like a meteor catching the moon.

Niu Jinxing, who was beside him, shouted: "Okay! Niu Jinxing had just become the prime minister of the Great Shun Dynasty, and the peasants took Guanzhong as the foundation, and the strategic route of entering Beijing through Shanxi was also designed by him. Now, relying on this policy, the peasant army successfully destroyed the Ming Dynasty, and at this moment Niu Jinxing is proud of the spring breeze, and this "good" shout is extraordinarily loud.

"Good!" Hundreds of cavalry shouted at the same time.

It's a pity, because it was shot from the back, and Li Zicheng was blinded by Chen Yongfu when he opened the seal in the second time, and he is still not used to seeing things with one eye

。

Therefore, this arrow was shot out, but it was crooked to the side, and it was inserted into the city wall with a "ding".

It was as if someone had suddenly grabbed the throat, and everyone closed their mouths, and there was silence.

Li Zicheng sighed in his heart, this is very ominous!

Niu Jinxing's face turned red, and he hurriedly shouted again: "Everyone, shoot, shoot!" ”

Only then did the soldiers come to their senses, and at the same time they drew their bows and shot them indiscriminately. In an instant, the plaque was shot like a hedgehog.

Li Zicheng's face turned blue: "Even if you shoot again at this time, what is the use of ****?" Don't, don't! ”

From Fengtianmen to Fengtiandian, until he sat on the emperor's dragon chair, Li Zicheng's face was dark, and his face looked much better until Chongzhen's body was found.

"So, Chongzhen hanged himself?"

"Yes, Chongzhen hanged himself. He was buried with the governor and eunuch Wang Chengen. A general handed over a piece of cloth with words written on it.

Li Zicheng only glanced at it, then sneered and threw it to Niu Jinxing: "Prime Minister Niu, you take it, after I sweep Kyushu in the future, you will find someone to write a history for the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Youzhen's suicide note is a precious historical material." If I don't see this suicide note, I still respect him as a man. Now, he doesn't think so, but Wang Chengen is a loyal man. Hehe, what did Zhu Youzhen say above: 'Because of the loss of the country, I have no face to see my ancestors, and I dare not finally go to bed. All the officials went to the East Palace. 'What else did you say to let me be kind to the people, and at this time he was thinking about the people?' Back then, when Zhu Xiaoer abolished the post station, causing 100,000 post soldiers in the world to have no food and clothing, where did he go? When the Shaanxi disaster, the Henan disaster, and cannibalism, where did he go? When he is about to die, he mentions the people, which is really ridiculous! ”

"In the seventeen years of his reign, nothing benefited the people, resulting in the misery of life, and this Zhu family child is guilty."

"The slaves invaded, helpless, until our people were brutalized and harmed by foreign races, this crime is two."

"Near the villain, far away from the virtuous minister, this crime is three." Speaking of this, Li Zicheng laughed: "Zhu Youzhen, you seem to be shrewd, but in fact you are a big idiot. You have so many shrewd and capable handsome talents, generals, but you don't need them, and you have been defeated on the battlefield one after another, who is to blame? For example, Lu Xiangsheng, such as Sun Taichu, you promote and reuse one at will, I have already been beaten all over the ground to find teeth, and it is the turn of Elao Li to sit on the dragon chair? ”

Hearing Li Zicheng mention Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Yuan, the faces of the generals in the Jinluan Palace changed dramatically at the same time

。 Almost everyone here has suffered a big loss under Sun Yuan, not to mention the Chuzhou War, the last time in Henan, he was completely discouraged. Indeed, if it was Sun Yuan and his Ningxiang Army who were guarding Beijing this time, it is estimated that everyone would have grabbed a handful in the Gyeonggi area and retreated to Shaanxi. I can't get up at all to take Beijing, change the world, and change the dynasty.

If Chongzhen really transferred Sun Yuan to guard Beijing, what a terrible situation!

Seeing that everyone's faces were a little pale, Niu Jinxing rolled his eyes, stepped forward, and said with a smile: "Indeed, as Banzai said." With Sun Yuan here, the national glory of the Ming Dynasty has not yet come to an end. It's just that Chongzhen doesn't know how to use people, and he holds a good chess piece alive, but he doesn't know how to play. In this way, the will of heaven is on the side of Banzai. Long live you, you are the true son of the dragon. ”

"Yes, this is God's favor for His Majesty, King Chuang, you are the real true dragon emperor!" The crowd screamed at the same time, and they all fell to the ground.

Li Zicheng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Prime Minister Niu Cheng, you are right, it seems that God really chose Lao Li." The unhappiness of not hitting the heavenly word on the plaque just now also disappeared with this burst of laughter.

After coming down, Li Zicheng sighed to Niu Jinxing again: "Zhu Youzhen is really a living idiot!" ”

Niu Jinxing: "Please also make it clear." ”

Li Zicheng: "I started as a rebel, and to put it mildly, I am a reckless and robber leader." When I first started the incident, I was just an ordinary general under the command of King Gao Chuang, and the reason why I was able to get to this point today was because I knew who was my own person and what was my enemy. For one's own people, it is natural to be greatly reused, and for the enemy, it must be ruthlessly eradicated. This truth is really simple, why doesn't Chongzhen understand it! ”

"For example, Chongzhen Xiaoer has always reused civil officials and restricted his relatives and military ministers. In his opinion, civil officials have read the Four Books and Five Classics all their lives, and they are all gentlemen, so they are naturally of great use to gentlemen. As for the nobles and military attachés, they are all anti-thieves and cannot be reused. Hehe, Venus, you see, as soon as the city of Beijing fell, didn't all those civil officials come to me one after another and ask me to be officials. ”

"But those nobles and eunuchs died for him. A monarch who doesn't even have the basic knowledge of knowing people, how can he be undefeated? ”

Niu Jinxing laughed with him, "Yes, especially the first assistant of the cabinet, Wei Gelao, is simply shameless."

。 ”

After the city of Beijing was captured, Li Zicheng ordered all civil and military officials to surrender their names to the court on the 21st, and they were willing to use them only for the sake of the officials, and those who did not want to be allowed to return to their hometowns.

By the 21st, there were so many people in the court that they were really scrambling.

Because there were too many people, the peasant army was frightened and hurriedly closed the Chengtian Gate.

But the officials sat in the open air and waited, not leaving, and they were willing to disperse only if Li Zicheng received them and granted them official positions.

This incident was so big that Li Zicheng was also annoyed, and ordered someone to arrest and confine the hundred officials.

Wei Zaode, the first assistant of the cabinet, was not happy, and said to the people outside through the crack in the window: "If you want to use me, you don't care how you use it, what is it to lock it here?" ”

What this means is that as long as you do it for the official, you don't care what the official is.

When the court is the first assistant, the moral degradation is really breathtaking.

Compared with the unbearable civil officials, the honorable relatives behaved very dignified. Those who were martyred when the city was broken were: Xuancheng Bo Shichun, Hui'an Bo Liu Wenzhen, Zhangcheng Hou Yang Chongxian, Xincheng Hou Wang Guoxing, and Prince Shaobao Ma Gong Yonggu.

Of course, what Li Zicheng said was also unfair, in fact, when the city was broken, there were still many civil officials who committed suicide and martyrdom. For example, Fan Jingwen, a university scholar, was the commander-in-chief of the Nanjing Army who partnered with Lu Xiangsheng during the Chuzhou War. With the exploits of that war, these old Fan officials were prosperous, and they were elected to the cabinet as prime ministers.

Another example is Li Banghua, the imperial history of the capital, Meng Zhaoxiang in the criminal department, Wang Jiayan, the waiter of the military department, and others.

The key is that there are too many civil officials who surrendered to the Great Shun Dynasty, and their performance is too shameless, which makes Li Zicheng feel bad for them.

Hearing Li Zicheng's words, Niu Jinxing also thought deeply: for the sake of the king, he doesn't even know who is supporting him, who is opposing him, and who is messing around, this emperor is really confused. Chongzhen, this person, is shrewd in small things, confused in big sections, has an extreme personality, is eager for quick success and quick profit, and the Ming Dynasty will not die, which is really intolerable.

What is called heavenly luck, bullshit heavenly luck, it is all coaxing.

Knowing people, employing people, being able to be people, people's hearts are the destiny of heaven.
