It is now February of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen.

It's spring.

But the Forbidden City, which was swept away by the wind and sand, did not have the slightest warm breath of spring.

Zhu Youzhen opened his eyes first.

Looking at the beautiful lady Yuan Guifei who was sleeping in a beautiful dress beside him, he was full of emotion in his heart.

It's been half a month since I came to this world.

also became the last king of the Ming Dynasty - Zhu Youzhen!

This made Zhu Youzhen, who was originally an ordinary civil servant in later generations, sigh.

If he expects it to be true.

Li Zicheng's army entered the city of Beijing on March 29, 1644.

And Zhu Youzhen was hanged on the coal mountain on that day, becoming the last emperor sighed by future generations.

But in fact, his Emperor Chongzhen has just passed the year of his establishment!

It is the time when a man's career starts and his ambitions are showing, but for himself, the emperor, he is going to the end of the road and burying his country on the coal mountain with him!

Then let the Chinese civilization, which has been restored and developed for three hundred years and has been far away from the Han and Tang dynasties, the Tang and Song dynasties, fell into the hands of foreign races!

And accept the ruthless slander and planting of the Tartars!

What is ambitious, what is suspicious, what is unkind......

It seems that the evaluation of himself as an emperor in the history of the Ming Dynasty is not much better than that of his brothers and fathers.

Unwilling!

As a later generation, Zhu Youzhen, who was possessed by a traveler, was really unwilling at this time!

I was unwilling to accept the fate of hanging again after I was finally reborn.

Unwilling to let this Ming Dynasty, which was already extremely developed in commercial economy and maritime trade, be replaced by a backward serf tribal regime!

And with the entire Chinese civilization, it completely slipped into the abyss of hundreds of years behind the West!

is unwilling to let his status as an emperor who could have been singing and dancing and enjoying the glory of the world be wasted in vain, and he also staged a heroic suicide dramatically.

Zhu Youzhen hates to solve the problem by suicide!

Because this is not a solution, it is an escape, since you are not afraid of death, why should you be afraid of life!

"Your Majesty", since Tian Guifei Yu Chongzhen fifteen years ago, Yuan Guifei has become the most beautiful concubine around Zhu Youzhen.

Qiong's nose and cherry lips, slender waist, Yingying can be held, Gu Feng is plump and her skin is as white as snow, she is only twenty-eight years old, she still maintains the youth and shyness of her girlhood.

Although she is a woman in the depths of the boudoir, she can also feel the coming of the end times.

And the man in front of her, with a thin physique and a thickening beard, was her only support.

After Yuan Guifei called Zhu Youzhen lightly, she couldn't help wrapping a pair of lotus arms around Zhu Youzhen's chest and hugged it very tightly.

The coming end times made her moved and frightened, and made her feel very insecure, so she could only hug Zhu Youzhen to death.

Zhu Youzhen saw that her moth frowned, her expression was desolate, and she couldn't help but feel pity in her heart.

According to the development of the original history, his poor concubine will be killed by himself who has fallen into the devil like other concubines!

But if Zhu Youzhen is asked to kill Yuan Guifei now, he really can't do it, not to mention that this is a beautiful girl who has been with him on his pillow for a year.

Even a woman who has never met herself can't bear to take away the youth of others.

At that time, I was so grief-stricken that I could be so ruthless!

"Help me up", Zhu Youzhen patted Yuan Guifei's fragrant shoulder, pecked her lightly on the forehead, and was about to get up and change clothes.

Zhu Youzhen's gentle behavior just now made Yuan Guifei feel a little surprised in her heart.

According to past experience, the diligent Majesty would never make such considerate actions.

In his eyes, there are only state affairs, except for state affairs or state affairs, not to mention his own concubine, even the queen mother and even His Royal Highness the crown prince have never been close.

But now Chongzhen's actions made Yuan Guifei suddenly feel a burst of joy in her heart, and her worries about her future fate were a little calmer.

As long as Your Majesty is well, you'll be fine, won't you?

If you can't keep the city of Beijing, you can still go to Nanjing, and if you can't keep the city of Nanjing, you can still go to Hangzhou.

This is Yuan Guifei's inner thoughts, she comforted herself like this, but the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, she did not say it to Chongzhen.

After Zhu Youjian put on the dragon robe, he walked out of Yuan Guifei's bedroom.

Look at the Forbidden City under the dark clouds in front of you.

The red walls and green tiles are like a remnant of blood in the sunset.

The dim white marble pillars and the cracked gold bricks all reflect the decline of the Ming Dynasty.

"Wang Chengen, what month and day is today?"

Holding a lantern beside Zhu Youzhen, bowing slightly, and slowly following Zhu Youzhen, the celebrant and eunuch Wang Chengen of the East Factory, was hurriedly stopped by Zhu Youzhen's question:

"Back to Your Majesty, it's February 19 now."

"Exactly another month!"

Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but chuckle and said secretly in his heart.

Alas!

This is the arrangement that God has given himself, and it will only be one month before Li Zicheng enters Beijing on March 19!

It's only a month away from hanging yourself on the coal mountain!

It was only a month since his two sons were killed by their maternal grandfather, and his Forbidden City changed two sets of masters in a row in the following days!

What can I do in a month?

Defend the city of Beijing?

The only field elite of the Ming Dynasty had already been buried in Tongguan with Sun Chuanting.

Zhu Youzhen couldn't think of any other army that could save him for a while.

Not long after, Zhu Youzhen had already arrived at the Qianqing Palace.

Looking at this splendid palace, it was hard for him to imagine what it would be like for Li Zicheng to sit in this Qianqing Palace after a month.

Similarly, after Li Zicheng and his departure from the capital, what would it be like for Shunzhi, the emperor of Jiannu, to sit here.

From then on, barbaric edicts with no hair and no head would be issued from here.

The entire Gyeonggi region has become a hunting ground for Kennu!

The fertile fields were occupied by these Eight Banners, and a large number of Han people became clothed slaves or were directly slaughtered.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen's mood couldn't help but become heavier, and he didn't have the slightest joy to become the owner of the Forbidden City.

At this time.

A number of civil officials summoned by Zhu Youzhen's platform, such as Wei Zaode, the first assistant of the cabinet, Fan Jingwen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of Dongge University, Ni Yuanlu, the secretary of the household department, Li Banghua, the imperial history of Zuodu, Li Mingrui, Zuo Zhongyun, and Guang Shiheng of the military department, have been waiting on the platform of the Qianqing Palace for a long time.

It was only when Zhu Youzhen sat on the throne that these ministers stepped forward to salute.

"See Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand lightly, and shouted: "Flat!" And said:

"The country is struggling, the rivers are declining, the thief Li Zicheng is now trapped in Taiyuan, and the capital is in danger, what can you do Aiqing?"

Although Zhu Youzhen knew that he couldn't expect this group of civil servants to come up with any useful methods.

After all, not every time the soldiers besiege the capital, there can be a capable minister like Yu Qian who has the ability to turn the tide.

But it's better to ask than not to ask, three stinkers have topped one Zhuge Liang, maybe some of the ideas put forward by these people can also have a few usable methods.
