When countless officials secretly defected to the Dashun army in the city of Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen was still sitting in the Forbidden City, fantasizing that countless Qinwang armies would swarm to break the siege of the rebels and rescue him and the Ming dynasty from danger.

The Dashun army outside the city, after solving most of the soldiers in the Beijing camp, quickly came towards the imperial city, when Emperor Chongzhen, listening to the more and more clear, louder and louder shouts outside the city, the sound of fighting is time, and there is a faint bad feeling in his heart.

Under the influence of this kind of thought, when he quickly ran to the wall of the imperial city, the terrifying situation below made him instantly look black in front of him, and he almost fainted, if it weren't for Wang Chengen's quick eyes beside him, he would have fallen to the ground long ago.

I saw that he originally thought that the city of Beijing could not be broken at all, but now the city gate is wide open, and along the way, except for a few officers and soldiers who can resist, most of the remaining Ming troops either fled in embarrassment, or surrendered, in the face of such a situation, how can Chongzhen not feel pain and sadness.

Chongzhen, who came to his senses, frantically rang the bronze bell for the alarm, but unfortunately no matter what kind of sound the bronze bell sounded, it could not hide the shouting that rushed to the sky, and there was no soldier or minister to come to the rescue.

Seeing such a sad scene, Chongzhen helplessly raised the sky and shouted angrily, "The ministers inside and outside misunderstood me!" I am not the king of the dead country, the ministers are the ministers of the dead country, the will of heaven is like this, and manpower can do nothing! ”

After a cry, Emperor Chongzhen slowly walked back, along the way, while beating his chest and feet, crying bitterly, while slowly moving forward, for a while, the sad mood of a dead king was undoubtedly revealed.

When Emperor Chongzhen finished writing the fifth edict of his life, the light of day has been bright, and it has reached the early morning of the eighteenth day, although he is sitting in the depths of the palace, but the sound of shouting and killing has been clearly heard, as if it is in his ears, looking at the edict of guilt in his hand, Chongzhen quietly waits for the moment of destruction.

"Your Majesty, hurry up and think about escaping, the inner city is about to be unable to hold on, Li Guozhen, the governor of the city, has fled without a trace with the officers and soldiers guarding the city, and most of the Jinyi guards have been killed and injured." When Emperor Chongzhen was still immersed in fantasy, a big eunuch hurriedly ran in from outside.

Hearing the words of the great eunuch, Emperor Chongzhen's expression did not change in the slightest, he just nodded lightly, he had already understood all this, and for those officials who deceived their superiors and subordinates and did not hesitate to destroy all human nature for the sake of profit, Chongzhen had already seen through it.

"Escape, now in this situation, where can I flee to, besides, my Ming Dynasty has lasted for more than two hundred years, to my hands, although it has been hard for seventeen years, but there is no virtue and incompetence, resulting in chaos in the world, now the traitors have broken through the capital, even if I escape, what face will I face in the future to face the people of the world, ancestors and ancestors, forget it, that's it, back then, Chengzu built the capital of Beijing, that is, I hope that the Son of Heaven will guard the country, today the country will not be a country, I am not as good as a martyrdom, okay, Cheng'en, prepare, I want to come to the banquet to all the concubines to thank them for their kindness over the years. Emperor Chongzhen seemed to have suddenly seen it.

Looking at Queen Zhou, Yuan Guifei and Princess Zhu Weiyuan of Changping, Prince Zhu Cihong and other wives and children around him, Chongzhen felt sad for a while, picked up a glass of wine, raised his head and drank it and said, "Since I ascended the throne, for the sake of national affairs, I rarely eat together with you, I didn't expect that at this moment, God can still give me such a chance, and it can be regarded as not thin to me Zhu Youxiao, this is my last meal, and it is also your last meal, because I am incompetent, causing you to suffer this shame, I am ashamed of you, I'm also sorry for the hundreds of people in the world, I can only wait until the next life to pay these bills. ”

The people who were already terrified in their hearts were even more frightened when they heard Emperor Chongzhen's words, and they couldn't help crying anymore.

Seeing these crying women, Emperor Chongzhen shook his head helplessly, and then, turning around next to the crown prince Zhu Cihong, Yongwang Zhu Cizhao, and Dingwang Zhu Cijiong pulled to the side, seeing the eldest son who was only thirteen years old, Emperor Chongzhen's heart was even more sad, but now, he had no choice but to touch their faces, and then said sadly, "Emperors, you have to remember, today is the shame of our Ming Dynasty, after you escape, you must work hard, if you have the opportunity, remember to be ashamed of your father and the Ming Dynasty." ”

After saying these words, he asked the eunuch to change the three princes into people's clothes, and then turned to Zhu Weiyuan with a calm expression and said, "Changping, I know that I have wronged you, but you must know that born in the emperor's family, this is fate, my father is such a fate, you are also such a fate, we are powerless to fight against God, and we can only accept fate." ”

Hearing Chongzhen's words, Zhu Weiyuan hugged Zhu Wei'er, who was crying bitterly, and said lightly, "Father doesn't have to worry about his son, his son also knows his father's hardships, father, please rest assured, as a member of the Zhu family, my son will definitely not insult the prestige of my Ming Dynasty, even if he dies, he will leave an innocent body." ”

"Okay, good, it's really worthy of being the children and grandchildren of my Zhu family, so far, even if I die, I can't let those thieves see the joke, all the concubines, you can go on the road with me, this is to the underworld, we can also be a companion." After finishing speaking, Chongzhen threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground, and then grabbed a long sword from Wang Chengen's hand behind him, and pulled it out suddenly, and saw that the sword body was shining under the light, exuding a cold atmosphere, and it was a good sword at a glance.

Seeing the sword in Emperor Chongzhen's hand, all the concubines were so frightened that they couldn't help screaming, only Empress Zhou said indifferently, "Your Majesty, the concubine is the mother of the country, let the concubine come first." ”

Hearing Queen Zhou's words, Zhu Weiyuan and Zhu Wei'er all turned pale, but unfortunately, they couldn't stop it, because they knew that Queen Zhou was just the beginning, and it would soon be their turn.

Seeing that Empress Zhou took the long sword from Chongzhen's hand, and was about to kill herself, a shout suddenly came from outside the door, "Stop, who are you and what are you doing here." ”

Hearing the sound outside the door, everyone in the house was stunned for a moment, and when they didn't react, they saw the door of the house kicked open suddenly, and then, a team of well-trained soldiers walked in quickly.

Seeing this group of soldiers, Emperor Chongzhen, who was originally full of pride, instantly went limp, and couldn't help muttering, "I didn't expect that I couldn't even commit suicide, I am really ashamed of my ancestors and ancestors!" ”

Just when Emperor Chongzhen lost his mind and the concubines were frightened, he suddenly heard Princess Zhu Wei'er, who had been crying all the time, scream suddenly, and then shouted, "Brother Shi, you are Brother Shi, sister, Brother Shi is here, we don't have to die, we don't have to die." ”

Hearing Zhu Wei'er's shout, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and then, they saw an amazing scene, the group of soldiers who broke into the house, under the leadership of the leading teenager, all knelt on the ground, and then heard the leading young man say, "Minister, the county order of Yulin County, Shaanxi Province, Shi Lei has seen my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

Listening to this long-lost voice, not only Emperor Chongzhen, but everyone in the room couldn't help but feel a little more settled in their hearts, but Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but think of all the pain he had suffered for a period of time, and his face couldn't help but leave a line of tears.

"Ah, Shi Aiqing, hurry, hurry up, the family is poor and filial piety is chaotic and loyal ministers, I didn't expect that I have promoted countless officials in my life, and now the rebels are attacking the city, but only Shi Aiqing is coming to King Qin, I am really sad!" After sighing in his heart, Emperor Chongzhen said.

It's just that Shi Lei didn't listen to Emperor Chongzhen's sigh at all, and now all his minds were attracted by the figure behind Chongzhen, he never thought that the person who let the pillar rummage through the entire city of Beijing and not find it actually appeared in front of his eyes so suddenly, happiness came so quickly, he couldn't accept it at all.

Fortunately, at this time, everyone was very excited, Shi Lei's distraction was nothing at all, and after he was pushed by the pillar behind him, he quickly reacted.

As soon as he came back to his senses, Shi Lei got up from the ground and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Wechen is late for rescue, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me, but now the situation is critical, and the rebels are about to take the imperial city, please leave here quickly with Wechen, otherwise, it will be too late." ”

As soon as Shi Lei's words came out, Emperor Chongzhen also reacted, and hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, let's go, it's just that, Shi Aiqing, you should be in Yulin, how did you come to this Beijing City, and you can still enter this imperial city." ”

Hearing Emperor Chongzhen's words, Shi Lei felt helpless for a while, and said that Emperor Chongzhen was born to love face, and he was suspicious, needless to say, for the sake of his own face, he ignored the tragic situation of natural and man-made disasters in the country, and frequently increased taxes, causing countless farmers to throw themselves into the rebel army, thus completely burying the entire Ming Dynasty.

And suspicious, not to mention, in the face of the small discord used by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he can be easily fooled, thus killing Yuan Chonghuan, and now it has come to this juncture, he is still so suspicious, but Shi Lei can't say that he only knew after reading the history books of later generations that today is the day when Li Zicheng broke through Beijing City, as for how to enter the imperial city, you must know that most of the defenders of the imperial city are now resisting the Dashun army at the noon gate, and the palace gate on the other side is basically the same as the unfortified, so that Shi Lei can easily enter the imperial city, Then, under the instructions of the eunuch, he went to the house of Chongzhen and others.

Therefore, in desperation, Shi Lei could only reluctantly make up an excuse, as for whether Emperor Chongzhen believed it or not, he just believed it anyway.
