"Brother Shi, where are we going now!" Seeing that it was getting farther and farther away from the capital, the young Zhu Weier couldn't help but say sadly.

Hearing Zhu Weier's question, Queen Zhou, who had a sad face, couldn't help frowning secretly, but in the end, she still didn't say anything.

Seeing the sad Zhu Wei'er, Shi Lei sighed a little distressedly and said, "Don't worry, the world is so big, there is always a place to stay, we will go to Xi'an City now, and when we get there, we will be safe." ”

"Xi'an City, isn't it already occupied by the army of Li thieves, wouldn't we go there to fall into the net, Shi Aiqing, you have also taken refuge in the traitor, and you want to take me and others to do the capital of advancement!" Hearing Shi Lei's answer, Queen Zhou, who was already feeling uneasy in her heart, finally couldn't help but speak.

As soon as Queen Zhou's words were said, in addition to the soldiers who followed Shi Lei, the rest of the people couldn't help but have dark faces, originally they thought that they could avoid being persecuted by the thieves by escaping from Beijing City with Shi Lei, but they didn't expect that they got out of the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den, looking at the tiger-wolf-like soldiers under Shi Lei's hands around them, everyone couldn't help but be full of panic, especially some concubines and others, who were even more frightened and cried.

Hearing Queen Zhou's words, Shi Lei was helpless for a while, he really didn't expect that Chongzhen's family, not only Chongzhen was suspicious, but Queen Zhou was also so suspicious, although he was helpless in his heart, but for the sake of her being Zhu Weiyuan's biological mother, Shi Lei still opened his mouth to explain, "Queen Mother, don't be suspicious, the reason why Wechen wants to invite everyone to Xi'an City is because Xi'an City has been re-defeated by Wechen and a group of loyal ministers and righteous men not long ago, and now, Li Thief has occupied Beijing City, the entire north, except for Xi'an, The rest are under the control of Li Thief, for the safety of all the nobles, we still go to Xi'an is the safest. ”

Shi Lei's explanation, everyone's hearts finally settled down a little, although they don't know whether what he said is true or false, but they all know that in this situation, Shi Lei has no need to lie to them, after all, they are a group of women and children who have no ability to resist.

"Brother Shi, are you telling the truth, you really re-built Xi'an City, but how is this possible, how can you have such a strong strength after only leaving Beijing for less than half a year, you know, Xi'an City is a heavy place behind Li Thief, not ......" It was Zhu Weiyuan who spoke, from the beginning of seeing Shi Lei, her originally empty heart seemed to be alive again, although in the face of the disappearance of her father, they fled from Beijing City where they lived since childhood, but this still couldn't stop the glimmer of hope in her heart.

Hearing Zhu Weiyuan's unfinished words, Shi Lei said with a smile, "Why, don't believe it, don't worry, what I promised you will definitely be done, if you still can't achieve anything for half a year, how dare you come back to see you?" ”

Hearing Shi Lei's words, Zhu Weiyuan thought of the words that the young man in front of her had said stupidly half a year ago, and for a while, a bright smile leaked out on her face, which was still full of sorrow and tears......

Just when Shi Lei and others were getting farther and farther away from Beijing City, the chaos in Beijing City was gradually calming down, after all, for Li Zicheng, Beijing City was very important to him, so at the beginning of entering the city, he had already issued orders to the generals not to burn, kill and loot, so under the conscious constraints of these generals, those places occupied by the Dashun army have gradually been controlled.

At this time, in the north of the Forbidden City, two embarrassed figures were slowly thinking about the coal mountain, one of them was naked, and the other foot, wearing socks, full of gray hair, was scattered in front of him, the original exquisite robe, at this time was also stained with a lot of mud, making him look endlessly miserable, and the other person, although he was barely supporting this person at this time, was tripped by the stones on the ground from time to time because of his lack of strength.

When the tall coal mountain appeared in front of the two of them, they saw that the barefoot man couldn't help but push away the person who had been supporting him, and then looked up to the sky and howled, "Long live the mountain, long live the mountain, I didn't expect that this is the burial place of my Chongzhen, the ancestors and the ancestors, the unfilial descendants Zhu Youxiao, who has been in charge of the Daming artifact for seventeen years, but he has made the heavens angry and resentful, internal and external troubles, and I am ashamed of the ancestors and martyrs!" Since the will of heaven is like this, how can human beings change it, and now, the unfilial descendants can only die to apologize. ”

It was Emperor Chongzhen and Wang Chengen who secretly escaped that spoke, but unfortunately, what the two did not expect was that the two of them wanted to take the opportunity to escape from the city, but they did not expect that all the city gates had been occupied by the Dashun army.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, don't think about it, you know, the green mountains left, don't worry about no firewood, you are the Son of Heaven, Emperor Ming, as long as you can live, you will definitely be able to regain the rivers and mountains, how can you seek death because of a moment of frustration?" Hearing Chongzhen's words, Wang Chengen hurriedly persuaded.

Hearing Wang Chengen's words, Chongzhen leaked a self-deprecating smile on his face, and said slowly, "Hahaha, Wang Ban, do you think that I, who have been strong all my life, can kneel down and beg for mercy from Li Zicheng's puppet like a coward, impossible, that is simply impossible, although I have done many wrong things in my life, but it is not the turn of others to judge, even if I die, I am still a king, and the king must have the bearing of a king, even if I die, I can't lose my face." ”

"Your Majesty, you can't die!" Hearing Chongzhen's firm voice, Wang Chengen, who had served Chongzhen for many years, knew that Chongzhen had made up his mind this time, so he had no other way than to wail at this time.

It's just that Chongzhen didn't answer Wang Chengen's wailing and persuasion, but tore off a piece of his underwear, bit his finger violently, and then said while writing something, "Okay, mourning is better than heart death, so far, I have already thought about it, although I am very unwilling now, but I can't do it, Wang Ban, I think about it now, I may have really wronged Shi Lei's kid, if that kid really wanted to hand me over to the traitor, I'm afraid I would have done it a long time ago, and I wouldn't have done so much useless work, It's a pity, it's too late to regret it now, fortunately, the queen and the prince and others have been taken away by him, I hope they can escape smoothly, in that case, I will have a successor, even if I die, I can be blind. ”

After saying these words, Chongzhen had already written the white cloth full of blood characters, carefully read the blood book in his hand again, and then handed it to Wang Chengen and said, "Wang Companion, so far, I have decided to die here, and it is also the fulfillment of my promise of the Ming Dynasty 'the Son of Heaven guards the country', but I still can't let go of one thing, now, I hope you will see the love of our master and servant for so many years, and help me do this, I hope you can agree to me." ”

Hearing Chongzhen's words, Wang Chengen knelt on the ground, crying bitterly, generally took the white cloth in Chongzhen's hand, and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, no matter what you have to say, the old slave will definitely do it for you." ”

"Okay, I'm relieved to have your words, there's nothing else, you just need to hand over this blood book to Shi Lei's kid after I die, and be able to risk death at the last moment to save me, I believe he won't let me down." While helping Wang Chengen up from the ground, Chongzhen said.

After seeing Wang Chengen cautiously put the blood book in his hand into his arms, Chongzhen sighed and said, "Wang Chengen, wait for me to go on the road, if there is fate, I hope that in the next life, we can still get together." ”

Hearing Chongzhen's words, Wang Chengen took the belt he handed over, and then silently tied it to an old locust tree next to him, and at the same time moved two stones to the ground, and then knelt on the ground, buried his head and face on the ground, and said sadly, "The slave respectfully invites the master to go on the road, and the master goes all the way!" ”

Standing on the stone, Chongzhen's face leaked a look of relief, and at the same time whispered to Wang Chengen, who was kneeling, "Remember, after I die, I must cover my face, I have no face to meet my ancestors and ancestors." ”

After saying this, I saw Chongzhen's feet force, and he heard the sound of rolling stones, a generation of kings, passed away, and his death represented the complete collapse of the Ming Dynasty in 277 years.

After Chongzhen's death, three days later, he was discovered, and because of the appearance of Shi Lei, Wang Chengen, who was supposed to accompany Emperor Chongzhen to commit suicide and martyrdom, did not commit suicide here, but after the death of Emperor Chongzhen, he hid in the people's house, and took the opportunity to escape from the capital a few days later, looking for Shi Lei all over the world.

At the same time, after the death of Chongzhen, the Ming officials who committed suicide and martyrdom were only less than eight people, but there were hundreds of eunuchs who committed suicide, and when the Dashun army attacked the Forbidden City, the number of war dead reached 1,000, and the number of palace maids who committed suicide reached more than 300, and more than 700 people committed suicide with their families.

And when Li Zicheng led the Dashun army into Beijing, except for a few officials, the remaining ministers of civil and military affairs, the old imperial history, went out of the city to meet the army, and then, when Li Zicheng ordered the guards to put Chongzhen into the coffin, next to the Forbidden City for people to pay respects, there were less than five people. The Ming Dynasty is so different from the previous dynasty that people in later generations are embarrassed. Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, before the third year of junior high school, a change every day, the chapters owed, after the New Year, double the supplement, I hope you forgive me.
