Chapter 64: Passion (7)

The style of the sword of Shicai really made Zhu Cihong's eyebrows stretch and his heart bloom.

Sideways, his right hand grabbed quickly, and with a shake, the other party was already weak, unable to hold the sword, and fell to the ground. Before the other party could say anything, Zhu Cihong knelt down and said in a deep voice: "Father! ”

"Huh?"

The other party exclaimed, revealing his body from behind the rockery he was hiding, but who was it not Chongzhen?

"You?" Chongzhen's hair was scattered, and his expression was also embarrassed, but there was also a look of surprise that could not be concealed between his eyebrows, and of course, there was joy in his eyes that could not be hidden.

"Master, why are you back!"

Wang Chengen also dodged out, just when they saw a team of cavalry galloping out from the Xuanwu Gate to the foot of Wansui Mountain, they couldn't see it clearly from a distance, but it was expected that the cavalry galloping in the palace ban would not be their own people, it must be the rebellious cavalry, and when they were in doubt, they saw dozens of people going up the mountain, and it was too late to hang themselves in a hurry, so they hid with a sword, and when Zhu Cihong approached, Chongzhen couldn't hold it back, and it was better to come up with a sword than to be captured...... That's the case, Wang Chengen's face was full of pain, he shook his head and said, "Why bother? The thieves have entered the outer city, master, why did you bother to come in and everyone was trapped together? ”

"What Wang Chengen said is true!" Chongzhen had already seen Gong Yonggu and the others rushing over, so his face regained a lot of imperial majesty, and he only looked at Zhu Cihong and said, "People say you are smart, why do you do such a stupid thing?" ”

"My father has been in power for many years, and his prestige has long entered the hearts of the people, without his father's suppression, his son can lead the troops into battle, and the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, who can control it?"

After speaking, Zhu Cihong smiled slightly and said to Chongzhen: "Moreover, after all, it is father and son. If the father is martyred, the son has already sent someone to send King Ding to Nanjing, and it will be the same with him. ”

"It's different!" Chongzhen didn't think about Zhu Cihong's words in front of him, but just shouted angrily at the words behind him: "How can King Ding compare with you? I don't like it like to be so self-defeating! ”

"Monarchs and ministers are also father and son," Zhu Cihong laughed and said with a smile: "There are always times in life when you do a few stupid things." Besides, the father and the emperor and the sons feel that sacrificing their lives to save their father cannot be said to be a stupid thing. ”

"Alas!" Chongzhen was still paused, but the expression between his eyebrows was also much softer.

The relationship between father and son cannot be erased after all.

is Zhu Cihong, who still has a bit of a taste of acting at the beginning, and he has to do all the details in acting. But in the end, after all, there is still a father-son relationship with Chongzhen in the soul, which is also a true emotion that cannot be suppressed, so when you say it, it is real and touching, and there is no hypocrisy.

It's just that Chongzhen didn't listen carefully to his words, but others had already heard the taste, and unconsciously, Zhu Cihong had gently set the tone for the division of power between the queen and Chongzhen, and the people present were all extremely smart, and as soon as the words entered their ears, they all heard them.

Gong Yonggu nodded secretly, and said in his heart: "The prince is young, but his martial arts are abnormal, just look at the more than 300 internal cavalry trained to know." Therefore, imitating Tang Taizong led the elite cavalry to conquer outside, and the emperor controlled the inside...... This kind of plan is really expected......"

The meaning of the prince's words was too deep, and everyone was incomplete for a while, Liu Wenbing took a step forward, bowed down and said: "Please let the emperor and the prince get out of the city as soon as possible!" ”

"Yes!" Gong Yonggu also said: "The ministers came in along the way, the thieves have not yet fully controlled the outer city, and many places are still loose and unguarded, now out of the city, galloping out all the way, you can be safe!" ”

"Is the city still there?"

Wang Chengen was also surprised and delighted, he was always responsible for the commander, he knew the defense of the capital well, the outer city was still there, of course the thieves could not go deep, all the way out of the city, light horses escaped, there was indeed a great opportunity. Therefore, he also said to Chongzhen: "The emperor can no longer hesitate, the slave and maid are willing to swear to protect the holy car." ”

At the critical moment, Zhu Cihong's performance finally moved Chongzhen, the father-son affection, coupled with the ** of survival, the Ming Emperor finally nodded, and said softly to Zhu Cihong: "In this case, I will try it hard with my son!" ”

"Yes, Father!" Zhu Cihong was very happy in his heart, Chongzhen's surname is very stubborn and awkward, and he always drops the chain at critical moments, this time it is about his own surname, Zhu Cihong is also very afraid, lest this uncle really have to be tied up before he is willing to leave.

It's not impossible, but it's certainly a lot of fun afterwards...... Everyone hurried down the mountain, although Chongzhen's riding skills were average, fortunately, he could gallop on horseback, but he still went out from the way he came, Xuanwu Gate went out all the way through Yongxiang, and then hit Donghua Gate out of the palace.

In front of the Jinshui Bridge, most of the people in the eunuch palace had dispersed because of Zhu Cihong's words, leaving only a place of tattered clothes and shoes, and under the Jinshui Bridge, floating corpses everywhere were floating in the water, in addition, it was just a palace with red walls and yellow tiles, and under the morning sun, it was still so majestic.

Unconsciously, Chongzhen turned back to the horse's head, and looked at the tall palace in the Donghua Gate and the palace gate with a solemn look, everything was still familiar, but at this moment, he had to say goodbye for a while!

This thirty-four-year-old emperor was born with fine clothes and fine food, except for his father's cautious years in the career of the crown prince, even in the rampant years of Kewei, the emperor brother of the Apocalypse did not let his younger brother suffer a single grievance. Then for the emperor, he reigned in the world for seventeen years, but to this day, he has to resign from the temple in a hurry...... This palace is where he lived on the day he was born...... To others, it may be mysterious and majestic, or it may carry too many different things, but for Chongzhen, this is his home, and that's it.

"Let's go!"

There were no tears, a few days ago before and after crying in the temple, Chongzhen also shed a lot of tears, at this time the situation is desperate and there is new hope, in this case, why cry?

He just glanced at Donghuamen for the last time, and then said sharply to Zhu Cihong: "Wu'er remember, in this life, you must not have the intention of favoring the south of the Yangtze River, you can't return to Beijing, and you can't turn a blind eye to my death!" ”

"Yes, Father." At this moment, Zhu Cihong is also very emotional...... If it's not this idea, what's the point of being human?

At the moment, he didn't show his face, only nodded heavily, although he left in a hurry, there was not much desolation.

At this time, the outer city is still lonely, look at it, the street is empty, only out of Dong'an Gate, when marching towards the outer city, I see that many people and the door have also played the flag, many people are placed in front of the incense case, and the yellow paper stickers with the words "Shunmin" are written everywhere...... Seeing this situation, Chongzhen, who was still resolute, was extremely embarrassed on his face.

He sighed heavily, if it was usual, he would definitely scold the minister for misleading the country, but the people of the city had abandoned him and the old dynasty at this time, turned around and threw themselves to the new dynasty, looking at it, in addition to the suicide of some eunuchs and palace people, there was resistance in the city, and there was resistance in a few places such as Zhengyangmen, so much for the emperor, what is the point of blaming others completely?

This kind of situation is for Chongzhen to see, and the touch on him is really a precious experience!

When he was thinking about committing suicide, he was still thinking of writing the words on the suicide note asking the thief not to harm our people, now look at it, the people of the city have descended a fine light, and the place that was once occupied is also safe and sound, and then ask Gong Yonggu and others to know that after the thieves entered the city yesterday, Qiu did not commit any crimes, except for the killing and wounding of many people when attacking the city gate, no one was injured by mistake, and there was no looting at all.

Hearing this kind of words in my ears, and looking at the plot in front of me, it is naturally extremely sad and miserable!

When I arrived near Chaoyangmen, I saw from a distance that there were many ministers wearing scarlet green kneeling down to greet him, Chongzhen's long-stored tears finally rolled down again, and he just laughed miserably: "All the courts have surrendered, I think that except for my son and the imperial family, there is no one who is effectively loyal to my Ming Dynasty." Now it seems that there are still some loyal people after all! ”

After saying that, he urged him to ride forward, and when he came to Wang Jiayan and others, he actually bent down and helped Li Banghua and Wang Jiayan and others up with his hands.

When Li Banghua got up, he burst into tears, and only said: "The emperor is safe, it is really my luck to be Ming and the luck of the subjects of the world!" ”

"Say no more!" Chongzhen faced Li Banghua, an old minister, and he also had little intention of covering up, besides, at this time, he should also tell the truth, and just said to Li Banghua at the moment: "The subjects are all rebellious, which is a big loss of morality." ”

"No!" Li Banghua said: "It's not that the emperor treats his subjects harshly, nor does it mean that the emperor is immoral, although the emperor does have mistakes in employing people and administration, but he is honest and sincere, and he has no morality." At present, the subjects have surrendered, but they are really seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and everyone is of the same mind, and there is nothing to say. In the future, when the heavenly soldiers return, the ministers dare to protect it, not only will there be no one in the city who is loyal to Li Chuang, but they will also welcome them out of the city and cheer long live. ”

After all, he is an old minister of several dynasties, and when it comes to explanation, he is also the head of the way.

Seeing that Chongzhen couldn't help nodding when he heard this, Wang Jiayan said: "Since this is the case, the ministers will protect the emperor and leave Beijing quickly." After arriving in Nanjing, he reorganized his army and swore to the Northern Expedition. ”

"The ministers are also willing to escort the emperor's personal expedition to the south!"

At this time, there are more than a dozen relatives and ministers who rushed to the city gate, including a few Hou Bo and the like, Chongzhen swept them a few times, and did not pay much attention to it, but there were a few close servants, Chongzhen looked at it a few more times, because he said: "I thought that among the ministers, they were all shameless people, but there were also loyal people such as Qing...... As the old saying goes, the wind is strong, and the loyal ministers are swayed, and sure enough. ”

Among a group of young officials, Chen Mingxia was the leader, at this time, listening to the emperor's praise, and seeing the crown prince looking at him with a smile, he didn't feel a panic, he had always been able to speak well, but at this time, he was in his mouth, and he didn't know what to say.

"As long as it's here!" Zhu Cihong already had the demeanor and status of the head of a large family in front of the emperor at this time, and he looked at the head of the house at the moment, and said categorically: "It is not difficult for the thief army to reorganize its troops and horses to catch up again, and we still have half an hour to hurry at most...... Can't delay any longer! ”

"Okay, just listen to my son!" Chongzhen finally looked a little high-spirited at this time, immediately whipped his whip, and laughed loudly: "Let's go!" ”
