I don't know when, the earth is still shrouded in darkness, the stars are dotted in the night sky, the light is flickering, the halo is swirling, in Li Zicheng's handsome tent, Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin stand opposite each other, and there are Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing standing on both sides.

"Zong Min, you prepare, early tomorrow morning, Cao Huachun will open the Guangning Gate on the west side of the outer city, and when the time comes, although he will lead the army to drive straight in, he must act quickly, quickly take over several other city gates in the outer city, and control the Dongbian Gate, Xibian Gate, Guangqu Gate, Zuo'an Gate, You'an Gate and Yongding Gate in the outer city, as well as various official yamen and treasury."

"Yes, Boss, the last general will be ordered!" Liu Zongmin agreed, as if he had thought of something, his face turned red, and he was excited, and then added: "After taking over the gates of the outer city, the last general will start to attack the Xuanwu Gate, Zhengyang Gate and Chongwen Gate in the inner city. ”

However, after hearing these words, Li Zicheng did not show a happy look, but shook his head and said softly: "After taking over the outer city, you don't have to rush to attack the inner city, after stabilizing the inner city of the outer city, wait for my orders and make plans." ”

In an instant, Liu Zongmin was like a frosted eggplant, and responded sneeringly: "Okay, boss~!" ”

Hearing this, Li Zicheng showed a satisfied look, nodded slightly, and said slowly: "Mr. Song and Mr. Niu will enter the city with you to take care of many daily affairs in the outer city. ”

"Well, yes, Boss."

Boom~Boom~

The sky has just dawned, accompanied by the roaring sound of explosions, the war has resumed, and the surrounding area of the capital is full of all kinds of fighting sounds, one after another, mixed together, very noisy.

However, although the battle began almost at the same time, the sound of the fighting was different in strength and weakness, and there was a strange atmosphere in the air.

Of course, due to the chaotic scenes, the sound of gunfire echoed everywhere, and it was almost impossible to detect this strange atmosphere.

The sun was rising, and the sound of guns and fighting became more and more intense, wave after wave, wave after wave.

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

"Haha... Whining... Ha ha... Woo..."

In the main hall, there were sometimes crazy laughter, sometimes whimpering and wailing, and the two alternated, echoing in the cold and empty hall.

I saw that Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was like a crazy demon, suddenly looking up to the sky and laughing, suddenly hanging his head and crying, his face was full of tears, and the whole person looked very tired and lonely, quite a heroic twilight.

Although he is still wearing a dragon robe and a crown on his head, he has lost his former brilliance, and the imperial spirit that belongs to the Supreme One is no longer there, just like a lonely person whose family business was lost overnight, he has lost all the family property accumulated over the past generations, and he is ashamed of his ancestors, and he wants to die immediately.

"Goo~Goo~"

Zhu Youzhen picked up the wine jug on the side, and put his mouth to the spout, just drank violently, making a swallowing sound of "goo~goo", and the two lines of tears flowed faster.

The sweet and scorching wine flowed through the throat at night, and the spicy taste could dilute the bitter cry at this time.

Squeak~

The door was gently pushed open, and then gently closed, and a figure flashed in, as if he didn't notice that there was another person in the hall, Zhu Youzhen was still pouring wine violently, allowing people to get close to him.

"Meet the emperor, the slave is back."

Du Xun prostrate on the ground, kneeling there, after the mountain snorted, there was no more words, respectfully looking, as if he was performing the last salute of the monarch and ministers, his forehead was close to the ground, and he couldn't stand for a long time.

Suddenly, as if he had been stimulated by some kind of stimulus, Zhu Youzhen showed surprisingly calmness, did not immediately reprimand Du Xun, ordered someone to drag him out and behead him, but wiped the tears on his face, straightened his clothes, and sat up straight, recovering his former temperament.

"Du Xun, Li Zicheng asked you to come......"

The faint words are so cold, not mixed with any feelings, and contain the slightest hint of mockery.

"Slaves are guilty, ashamed of the grace of the saint, and have been disappointed by the emperor's kindness for many years!"

Du Xun still maintained a kneeling posture, as soon as he heard Chongzhen's words, Zhu Youzhen's honor for himself for many years suddenly appeared in his mind, even if he committed a big crime, he could be forgiven, and the guilt on his face was stronger and stronger, and after shouting this sentence, he crawled on the ground again, not daring to make a little mistake.

"Okay, get up, Li Zicheng asked you to enter the city and enter the palace alone, it shouldn't be just to kowtow to me." Chongzhen waved his hand, and his words were so fluttering, as if he had expected Du Xun to come.

Hearing this, Du Xun did not get up immediately, but kowtowed three times, and then slowly stood up, and the whole person instantly changed to another temperament, and the minion phase changed a lot.

"Your Majesty, now, the overall situation has been decided, the capital will be conquered by King Chuang sooner or later, and the imperial city will not last long at all, and I hope that... Hopefully..."

For a while, Du Xun's words were unspeakable, but Zhu Youzhen answered coldly: "I still hope... What else to look forward to? ”

Immediately, Zhu Youzhen's expression became hideous, and without waiting for Du Xun to answer, he almost yelled and shouted: "Dog slave, force me to abdicate and give up this great river and mountain, it will not be your turn!" Get out~ Get out of here, otherwise, I'll kill you! ”

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, there is an old saying that those who know the times are handsome, why do you have to support them so hard? Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think more about the prince and princess, they are still young......"

Without waiting for Du Xun to continue, Chongzhen scolded again: "Get out~!" ”

Du Xun wanted to say something more, but when he saw the emperor's angry eyes, he couldn't wait to eat himself alive, so he swallowed the words back to his mouth, bowed, and left in a hurry.

At this moment, Emperor Chongzhen's heart was nested with a fire, constantly growing, rushing upward, Du Xun's arrival, what he said, suddenly arched this fire to the peak, and completely exploded.

Zhu Youzhen couldn't hold back any longer, got up, left the throne of the dragon case, and went straight to the palace gate angrily, as soon as he came outside, he shouted to the eunuch on the side: "King Xuan Cheng'en is attacking, I want to conquer in person, I don't believe that I can't resist the attack of Li Zicheng's rabble!" ”

Seeing that the emperor's eyes were red and bloodshot, and his expression was as if he was about to eat people, the eunuch did not dare to hesitate at all, and replied resignedly as he left: "Yes... Be... Minion... Yes..."

Soon after, in the courtyard of the Qianqing Palace, hundreds of eunuchs and brocade guards gathered stood there scattered, and Wang Chengen was at the forefront, shouting to Zhu Youzhen on a high place: "Your Majesty, at present, this is all the people that can be raised in the inner courtyard of the palace." ”

Wang Chengen's words came to an abrupt end, the meaning was already very obvious, with such a small number of troops, do you still want to recruit in person, the emperor?

Looking at the hundreds of good people scattered around, except for Jinyiwei and the appearance of soldiers, everyone else was staggering, and Zhu Youzhen's high fighting spirit was like being poured a basin of cold water in his face, and it was suddenly extinguished.

"Okay, you all retreat~"

After saying that, Zhu Youzhen waved his hand, signaling that everyone was dispersed, and the whole person looked disheartened, and turned around and returned to the main hall in a dejected manner, but Wang Chengen did not leave, walked a few steps quickly, climbed the stairs, and followed into the main hall.
