Li Zicheng was happy, Zhu Changyuan was angry and happy, and Chongzhen was about to go crazy.

"Shameless erectors!" Chongzhen scolded loudly, threw the song sent by the local newspaper to the front of the imperial step, and suddenly stood up, only to feel that his mind was dizzy, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.

"Your Majesty!" The ministers and a group of eunuchs hurriedly stepped forward and held the emperor up.

Chongzhen closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, barely calming himself down, so as not to be so angry, so he relieved himself in one breath and did not pass out directly.

"Whew, whew!" After a while, he opened his eyes slightly, and when he saw the light of his mother outside, he was upset, and said to Wang Chengen: "Take a cloth curtain and cover the window." ”

Wang Chengen went out and ordered the little eunuch to take out many curtains to cover the window.

"Jiang Xuan, Jiang Xuan!" Chongzhen silently read a few words, shook his head, and said: "The Jiang family has been my Ming generals for generations, and I don't know how many people are favored by the country, his brother Jiang Rang is the chief soldier of Yulin, and his younger brother Jiang Xuan is the general soldier of Yanghe, Shaanxi, why is he Jiang Huang so unrestrained and unrighteous, such a person, worthy of being a son of man and a minister!" ”

The more Chongzhen spoke, the more excited he became, and he almost vomited blood again, and the ministers hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.

Li Jiantai, the secretary of the Ministry of War, knelt on the ground and said: "It's all the minister's fault, the minister is useless, Your Majesty doesn't have to blame others, if you want to blame me, I'm willing to be killed!" ”

It turned out that Li Jiantai had led the army to crusade before Li Zicheng attacked Taiyuan, and Emperor Chongzhen personally poured wine for him at the head of the city to see him off. ”

The funny thing is that not long after this cargo left the city, the soldiers under his command ran away for 3,000, and when they had walked less than 100 miles, there were only 500 men left. When he walked all the way south to Guangzong County, Hebei, the county commander who guarded the city did not let him enter the city for three days, and this thing was so angry that he ordered 500 men under his command to attack the city.

After the city was broken, he also killed all the squires who resisted him, and even whipped the local county magistrate.

Good guy, if you go out and level the thief, you will first take down one of your own cities. This Li Dashangshu is worthy of being the secretary of the military department, and 500 people can attack the city.

Fortunately, Chongzhen later remembered that he had a reason for the incident, and he was not overly harsh, and still let him continue to be an official.

"You're not wrong. It's all my fault! Chongzhen comforted Li Jiantai in turn, and then said disheartenedly: "I don't want to be the king of the dead country, but now everything in the country is the face of the dead country, and I really want to die on the battlefield to repay my ancestors and people." It's a pity that I don't see what I die. ”

"Your Majesty!" Jiang Fengyuan knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, Holy Son of Heaven, what is wrong, it is all the fault of our ministers." ”

Liu Zunxian moved his bloated body and knelt down in the middle, and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, now the thieves are still in Datong, even if we hit the Jingshi, we are not without a chance of winning." When Emperor Jingtai was there, he also made a mistake first. led hundreds of thousands of people to attack the Jingshi, didn't we also block it? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty! The city of Beijing is high and the river is deep, and there are tens of thousands of garrisons, and Huang Taiji led 200,000 people back then, not to mention the thieves? Xue Guoguan, as the first assistant of the cabinet, stood up at this time.

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "That's natural, as long as the person attacking the city is not the king of Yanming, it doesn't matter if this Jingshi holds for half a year." "Speaking of which. Thinking of Zhu Changyuan again, he sighed slightly, and said bitterly: "This is all my fault, if King Yanming was here at that time." It was he who established himself in Liaodong, and who in the world dared to act so rashly? ”

"Your Majesty!"

The ministers knelt down and exchanged tears in their eyes.

Although everyone knows that Zhu Changyuan is not dead, what can they do if they know? For the sake of the emperor's face, it is impossible to bring Zhu Changyuan back.

"Get up!" Chongzhen waved his hand to signal the ministers to get up, and took out a letter and handed it to Xue Guoguan, a scholar of the Cabinet University. said: "Xue Aiqing take a look at Jiantai's letter." ”

Xue Guoguan took it from Chongzhen's hand, opened it and looked at it, his body shook suddenly, and his eyes involuntarily glanced in the direction of Li Jiantai, the secretary of the military department next to him, and said, "Lord Li suggested moving the imperial capital south to Jinling?" ”

Li Jiantai said: "Now that the thieves are strong, why not give up this land in the north of the river, let Jianyu and the thieves die and break the net, let's try to recover the Central Plains again, why not?" ”

Xue Guoguan was silent!

In fact, deep down, he also agreed with Li Jiantai's suggestion that if the imperial capital was moved from Beijing to Jinling, he could still survive like the Southern Song Dynasty, and maybe the national glory of the Ming Dynasty would last for another two hundred years.

It's just that although this is a way to preserve the Jizong Temple of the National Zuo Society, it is also a shame. You must know that the imperial tombs of the emperors of the old Zhu family are all in Beijing, if they are forced to flee by Li Zicheng, how will the people of the world think?

"I know there's merit to doing this, but!" Chongzhen sighed, slowly got up from the bed in the side hall, and came to the middle of the main hall with Wang Chengen's support, and continued: "It's just that I can't bear the original people and ancestral temples in my heart!" The monarch is dead, and I will go! ”

The ministers bowed their heads and wept in each other's arms.

"Ahem, ahem!" Chongzhen coughed lightly a few times, and Wang Chengen behind him sent a silk silk to help him wipe the corners of his mouth. He was fed another bowl of ginseng soup, and the emperor's pale face improved slightly.

"Get up." Chongzhen waved his hand, looked at the dark light in the room, put his hand in Wang Chenen's hand, and said, "Help me go out for a walk, I feel that the weather is getting colder and colder these days, winter is coming!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang Chengen helped him out slowly and said, "In ten days, it will be the winter solstice!" ”

The sky outside the hall was gray, and as soon as the cold wind blew, small snowflakes fell from the oppressive sky, looking soft like cotton wool, but with the cold north, it made people shudder.

The palace maid came out of the side hall and took out a bright yellow coat and draped it on the emperor's body.

Chongzhen looked at the sky and asked Wang Chengen beside him, "I remember that the first time I met Zhu Changyuan was on a snowy day, and that was after he came back from the land of Jingxiang. ”

"That was the first time His Majesty summoned Zhu Changyuan!" Wang Chengen hurriedly answered.

The first time the emperor and Zhu Changyuan met was when they tried their talents in front of the emperor, so the time they came back from Jingxiang to meet Zhu Changyuan should be the second time between the two.

"Hehe, I'm mistaken." Chongzhen sighed and looked at the sky: "Uncle Yu Daming has immortal feats, I don't know how the history books will comment on me after a thousand years?" ”

Wang Chengen said: "Your Majesty, the son of heaven, the lord of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Chongzhen shook his head, ignoring the big eunuch beside him, but looked at the sky again, his face was strikingly similar to the gloom of the sky.

The world is vast, only this corner!

I don't know how long it took, but a eunuch from the Yellow Gate came over quickly and reported: "Your Majesty, report urgently!" ”

Chongzhen didn't reply, just waved his hand.

Wang Chengen asked on behalf of the crown prince and said, "What did you play? ”

The little eunuch said: "I just received the battle report, the thief leader Li Zicheng personally raised 500,000 troops, from Datong to Xuanfu, all the way like a broken bamboo, Daming City was broken. ”

Chongzhen said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that all the cities will be surrendered!" If everyone is like Zhou Yuji, then he Li Zicheng has an army of millions, how can he break through four towns in a row? ”

The little eunuch didn't dare to take the emperor's words, and he didn't know what to do.

Wang Chengen asked again: "What else is going on?" Only then did he raise his head and say: "The thief Li Zicheng raised 500,000 troops, all the way, and now the soldiers have arrived in Changping!" ”

Chongzhen's body shook slightly, Wang Chengen listened, and almost sat on the ground.

Where is Changping and how far is it from Beijing? Many people may not know much about it, but from a modern point of view, Changping is just a district of Beijing.

"Your Majesty!" Not long after Xiao Huangmen's words were finished, another eunuch ran over, knelt on the ground with a plop, and said: "Dongge University Scholar, Nanjing Military Department Shangshu, Zuodu Yushi Li Banghua asks to see." ”

Chongzhen replied: No.

After a while, Li Banghua found someone to send him over.

Chongzhen opened the song and looked at it, sighed while watching, got up and walked back and forth around the corridor several times with Wang Chengen's support, and finally couldn't pay attention.

Wang Chengen was worried about Chongzhen and asked, "What is your majesty worried about?" ”

Chongzhen said: "Li Banghua played, saying that let me stick to the country, and at the same time imitate the story of Emperor Chengzu, let the prince go to the southern capital to supervise the country, I am hesitant, I don't know if to let him go." ”

Wang Chengen listened, but he couldn't come up with any constructive suggestions, so Chongzhen went back to the side hall to discuss with the ministers.

Zhongyun Li Mingrui wrote: "Your Majesty, instead of sticking to the imperial capital and letting the prince go to the south to supervise the country, it is better to directly move the capital to the south, there is no war in Chengping in the south, and relying on the benefits of the Yangtze River, Xu can make plans in the future!" ”

Shi Heng first talked for a long time, and then rolled up his sleeves and said: "The people who said that they moved south are all traitors of the country, and they are ruining the Ming Dynasty." ”

Chongzhen slapped the table and said: "Don't quarrel, I have made up my mind, stick to the Jingshi, and don't mention the prince Nandu Jianguo!" With that, he brushed his sleeves away.

Wang Chengen followed closely and asked Emperor Chongzhen: "Why doesn't Your Majesty consider the suggestions of Li Mingrui, Li Banghua and Li Jiantai, the old minister also feels that the Jingshi is in danger and cannot be refused!" ”

Chongzhen sighed and said: "Where is it that I don't want to move south, it's those ministers in the cabinet, they want to be a model for the ages, they want to be humble, and they want to tie up the country to help them leave a name in history!" ”

+++++++++++

Thirty miles outside the city, Li Zicheng raised an army of 500,000 people, and after a fierce hand-to-hand battle in Changping, he led his entire army to the outer city of Beijing.

In the outer city, he encountered fierce resistance from Jingying, but after all, there were too few people in Jingying, how could he stop Li Zicheng's footsteps. After he easily cleaned up all the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, he immediately looked at this towering and tall city outside the Yongding Gate, and his heart was shocked for the first time.
