Chapter 106: Chongzhen dies

Zhang Biwu had another idea in his heart, even if he said that it was Chongzhen's blood edict, how many people believed it? The most important thing is to become the target of public criticism! With Zhang Biwu's weak strength, he could not cope with it.

It's just that you have to put away the blood edict first, ignore so much for now, and use it again if you can use it in the future!

Indeed, in the future, when the anti-Qing tide in the south of the Yangtze River was rising, Zhang Biwu entered Fengyang to worship the emperor's mausoleum, and even sacrificed the blood edict, he did get a lot of support, and also forced the Manchu Qing into a predicament, of course, all this is a later story, and it will be described in detail later.

Chongzhen asked: "I ask you two for one thing, that is, my son, the crown prince and the second king, I hope you must rescue them to a safe place!" I don't want my son to inherit the country and reign over the world. Just want them to live their lives as safe as civilians, and that's enough! This is my request as a father! And not a request from an emperor! ”

Chongzhen said that there were tears on both cheeks, and his eyes were full of earnest pleading, as the Ninth Five-Year Venerable, how could he ever beg for someone like today? It's just that being a father made him let go of his identity and dignity to ask for help.

Of course, Zhang Biwu had to agree to Chongzhen's most reluctant request, no matter how he said it, he and Chongzhen had affection, even if Chongzhen repeatedly harmed Zhang Biwu, but Lu Xiangsheng agreed faster than Zhang Biwu. Zhang Biwu also agreed.

Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "You two let's go!" Get out of here as soon as possible! Don't let the thieves know you're here! Especially you, Zhang Biwu, you have already surrendered to Li Zicheng, and you have not received his order to come to Beijing. If you show up here. The thief won't let you go! You have to conserve your strength. Fight the Tartars! The world will be handed over to you! ”

Zhang Biwu only bent down and bowed after the most reluctance, and he never knelt down to salute again. Only Lu Xiangsheng knelt down and saluted, full of tears, after all, Lu Xiangsheng was deeply influenced by the idea of loyalty, and he was in pain!

Chongzhen waved his hand at Lu Xiangsheng and said, "Let's go!" Lu Xiangsheng, if you are loyal to me, you will be able to assist Zhang Biwu well. Drive out the Tartars, and never let the splendid mountains and rivers fall into the hands of the Hu people! ”

Lu Xiangsheng nodded firmly, he would do it. Chongzhen smiled at Lu Xiangsheng and waved his hand again, signaling Lu Xiangsheng to leave here quickly.

Zhang Biwu said to Lu Xiangsheng: "Let's go!" Lu Xiangsheng understood, and he glanced at Chongzhen after the last moment. Chongzhen waved his hand at him and motioned for them to leave quickly and save the crown prince and the second king.

Zhang Biwu and Lu Xiangsheng left quickly, and Yao Dongzhao was still waiting for them! There are also many people who will take them out of the palace.

As soon as Zhang Biwu saw Huang Qi, he pulled him to the other side and commanded in a low voice: "You have to keep my mouth shut!" I can't say that I saved Princess Kunxing! If only you were to say it. It's not my brother! Even if it is rumored in the market that I am a villain and a bad law. I can't wait for Princess Kunxing to have a miserable life, with a small belly and a narrow heart, and you can't tell me the truth! ”

"Ahh Huang Qi looked at Zhang Biwu in surprise, very puzzled, Zhang Biwu! Can you not use such nice people? And your kindness will be treated as a donkey liver!! Why bother!!

Of course, Zhang Biwu knew what Huang Qi was thinking, he smiled bitterly, and said with a straight face: "Zhengli, good brother!" You can promise me! Because only if I am a bad person, then I can highlight Zhou Shixian's goodness! Princess Kunxing and Zhou Shixian will be able to live happily together! This is also a trivial thing I did for Princess Kunxing! Count her back for favor! It's good to cut it off from now on! ”

"Alas!" Huang Qi nodded and said, "Guoxiong! You're such a nice person! All right! You can rest assured! I will do what I promised you! I'll keep my mouth shut! ”

Zhang Biwu nodded reassuringly, and at the same time he glanced at the coal mountain. He knew that Chongzhen should have started to hang himself, he sighed, helpless! History cannot be changed, and Chongzhen finally hanged himself from a crooked-necked locust tree in Shouhuang Pavilion in Coal Mountain......

Shouhuang Pavilion in Coal Mountain. Chongzhen instructed Wang Chengen: "You carve the following words on this tree-'In addition to this edict, there is also a blood edict.'" ’”

Wang Chengen already understood what Chongzhen meant, Chongzhen was in Zhang Biwu to show the edict he gave, so that everyone in the world thought it was true, and did not doubt Zhang Biwu, so he did this.

Even if the body was found by a thief, at least someone saw these words, and they knew that the emperor still had a blood edict! As long as there is knowledge, there will be people who will spread it, after all, there is no impermeable wall in the world.

Wang Chengen began to engrave words on the crooked neck of the locust tree, as Chongzhen instructed, engraved: "In addition to this edict, there is still a blood edict." ”

Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction when he saw it, and said with relief: "Put it down!" Everything is laid down! It's so relaxing! ”

Chongzhen's most reluctance was to look at the beautiful and magnificent rivers and mountains with true feelings, and he pressed the edict that had been written, only to see that the edict read: "I have been on the throne for 17 years, and the traitor has approached Beijing." Although I bow down and blame the heavens, it is all the mistakes of the ministers. I have no face to see my ancestors in the ground, go to my crown, cover my face with my hair, let the thief split the corpse, and do not hurt the people. ”

Chongzhen came to the crooked neck under the locust tree, raised his head and looked, Chongzhen was very quiet, he seemed very peaceful, he smiled, smiled very happily. Laid down, everything was put down, he was so tired for seventeen years, and now he can finally rest! Leave it all to someone else! Let someone else do the work!

Others say that death is terrible, but at this moment, Chongzhen let go, and he felt that death was a relief. He smiled, he smiled and walked towards the tripline.

Wang Chengen only heard Chongzhen's last words: "It's all up to you!" Zhang Biwu! Wang Chengen couldn't help but look at the place where Zhang Biwu had gone, although he couldn't see it. Wang Chengen turned his head again, and saw Chongzhen put his head into the rope, and he immediately knelt down and shouted: "Emperor Daxing is driving!" ”

"Emperor Daxing starts!" This cry shook the coal mountain, as if it was about to collapse the coal mountain. The Shouhuang Hall in the north is like an old man who has gone through vicissitudes, he watched Chongzhen's hanging with tears and sorrow, and watched a once great and glorious dynasty go to an end.

Wang Chengen saw that although Chongzhen was dead, he stretched out his tongue, and there was a look of trying his best to endure it on his face, because when Chongzhen took a breath after breaking the last breath, he was thinking that he was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he would die like an emperor, and he must not die like a mortal hanged with a painful look and stuck out his tongue.

However, Chongzhen still had a painful expression on his face, although it was not obvious, but it was strange that he still had a smile on his face. What is he laughing at?

Wang Chengen knew that Chongzhen thought that he had handed over the world to Zhang Biwu, and he could rest assured that it was this mood that made Chongzhen's face smile, but the pain of suffocation made his smile distorted.

Wang Chengen looked at the magnificent mountains and rivers from afar, and said: "Zhang Biwu, you can't live up to the emperor's instructions before he died!" The country will be handed over to you! You have to take good care of our Han people! In the future, if you can incense the emperor on March 19, and ensure that the crown prince and the second king can spend this life safely, you Zhang Biwu will finally live up to the Ming Dynasty! ”

When Wang Chengen said this, his eyes were full of tears, and he knew that the time for the Tao was almost up. Wang Chengen said to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the slave is here to accompany you!" Underground, the slave and maid will serve you well! As soon as he finished speaking, he hanged himself on a smaller tree next to him.

Now turn back to Zhang Biwu's side.

Zhang Biwu must leave Beijing City first, so as not to let people find out, he will not be able to eat and leave, and it will be more difficult to save the prince and the second king in the future. The advice he gave to Lu Xiang to be promoted was that the crown prince and the second king who had already arrived in the palace of Emperor Zhou could not be saved so easily!

After all, Li Zicheng is closely watching, it is difficult to get close, and the entire Zhou Mansion can't even fly in, do you still want to save it?

Zhang Biwu, Lu Xiangsheng, and Yao Dong told the truth, only after Li Zicheng was defeated at Shanhaiguan, the crown prince and the second king, he would not kill, and Li Zicheng let them go tolerantly. Then just save them!

Lu Xiangsheng was surprised when he heard it, he was skeptical, and thought that although Li Zicheng was a thief, he was just a hero among thieves, even if he caught the prince and the second king, in order to buy people's hearts, he would not kill him. For this reason, Lu Xiangsheng also agreed with Zhang Biwu's opinion and decided to wait until Li Zicheng was defeated at Shanhaiguan before he rescued the crown prince and the second king.

Lu Xiangsheng's choice was correct, and later facts also proved that Li Zicheng did not kill the crown prince and the second king.

Li Zicheng stayed in the Forbidden City, but he couldn't find Chongzhen, he panicked, and issued a strict order to search the whole city, even if it was to search the entire city of Beijing, Chongzhen is dead to see the corpse, and the living to see people!

The order has been given, Li Yan, who is in charge of the Qing Palace and the search for Chongzhen, is of course busy, but Li Yan is very scared, afraid that he will let Zhang Biwu enter Beijing City, and Zhang Biwu will rescue Chongzhen, then he will be sorry for Li Zicheng, not a loyal minister, but think that Zhang Biwu should not be dishonest, right? In addition, when he saw Zhang Biwu, he found nothing suspicious. Chongzhen should not have been taken out of the city by Zhang Biwu.

On March 21, Chongzhen's body was found, and Li Zicheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Zicheng looked at Chongzhen's edict, he was sighing, Chongzhen is actually not bad, it's a pity! He was also defeated because of the will of God! The sky is going to die, and even nothing can save it.

Someone secretly told Li Zicheng that Chongzhen's hanging crooked neck tree was engraved with "In addition to this edict, there is still a blood edict".

Li Zicheng couldn't help but be stunned, he looked at Li Yan, and Li Yan replied: "Yes!" There are indeed nine words! (To be continued......)
