Chapter 15: The haggard Chongzhen

The next day, Bao Feng drove to the city early, because he didn't know where he would appear after crossing, so he first went to the supermarket to buy some outdoor products and some food, and then went to the seed point, and used his remaining money to buy some seeds that would be helpful to the end of the Ming Dynasty.

After everything was ready, Bao Feng picked a place where no one was, put his pickup into the space ring, and then chose to travel ......

At night, the Forbidden City, the place where the highest power of the entire Ming Empire lived, if there were only a few places in the Grand Palace there were candles, against the already somewhat dilapidated palace, it looked ghostly, and quite ironically, not far from the Forbidden City, the mansions of the imperial relatives and ministers were indeed brightly lit and magnificent.

At this time, a year had passed since the Rebellion, and Huang Taiji, as in history, took him back to his northeastern nest in the joy of the traitors and warlords who plundered the population and wealth in the Gyeonggi region.

In the Forbidden City, in the emperor's bedroom, Emperor Chongzhen was even more haggard than when he was in Shaxian before, and he was not yet 20 years old and lived with gray hair.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen, sitting at the table, drinking wine one by one, seemed to be drunk. An old eunuch behind him couldn't stand it anymore, so he knelt on the ground, kowtowed a few times, and prayed: "Your Majesty, you can't drink anymore, if you drink any more, it will hinder the dragon's body!" Your Majesty! ”

It seems that this old eunuch has a very important position in Zhu Youzhen's heart, and when the words fell, Zhu Youzhen's hand holding the wine glass paused, looked at the old eunuch and sobbed: "Cao Daban, I really regret it now." I regret not listening to the words of those literati at the beginning, if Wei Zhongxian was still there, how could Jiannu be able to come to Beijing, and how could the dirty people full of benevolence and morality outside be so rampant! ”

The old eunuch was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is cautious!" Your Majesty. ”

"Huh...... Omemo, haven't you seen the faces of those literati clearly? Zhu Youzhen shook his head and said.

"No, no, Your Majesty, the ministers understand, but it is precisely because the ministers understand that they must persuade Your Majesty to be cautious......," the old eunuch said anxiously.

"Afraid of what? They still have to have another red pill case! Zhu Youzhen said excitedly: "Now the country is worried about internal and external troubles, and they need me, the emperor, to be blackened, hehe...... If the Ming Dynasty is finished, they can take refuge in the new master, and then it is written in the history books that the Ming Dynasty died at the hands of me...... Ha ha...... This is the literati...... Literati who were familiar with Confucius and Mencius ......"

The old eunuch didn't know how to persuade him anymore, and he was so frightened that he was covered in cold sweat, and he only looked out with his eyes, worried that someone would hear the news......

However, whatever you are afraid of comes, a short-haired man in a strange costume suddenly appeared at the dark gate. The old eunuch was also loyal, and stood up to protect Zhu Youzhen in front of him, and said sharply: "Come and escort!" ……”

However, Zhu Youzhen didn't seem to appreciate it, and before the old eunuch could shout a word, Zhu Youzhen directly pushed him away and greeted him with tears streaming down his face.

"Shangxian, you're finally here, Shangxian!" Zhu Youzhen knelt down in front of the visitor without the slightest image of the emperor, and hugged the visitor's thigh tightly.

The matter is already obvious here, the person who came is Bao Feng who has just crossed over.

Anyway, Bao Feng is still a little stunned now, as soon as he crossed, there was a sloppy man hugging his thighs, and with his current strength, he didn't flash at all.

After a long time, Bao Feng, who finally came to his senses, looked down at the man hugging his thigh in front of him, and asked in disbelief: "You, you, you are Your Majesty?" ”

"Yes, yes, it's me." Zhu Youzhen nodded desperately.

Bao Feng looked at the man in front of him who was crying like this child, and he couldn't connect with the man who was melancholy but didn't lose the emperor's spirit before. looked around, and felt that this was not a good way to speak, so he helped Zhu Youzhen up and said, "Your Majesty, let's go inside and talk about it slowly, this will not have a good impact." ”

When Zhu Youzhen heard this, he also discovered that he was wrong, and hurriedly got up and welcomed Bao Feng into his bedroom. When passing by the old eunuch, the old eunuch finally came back to his senses and asked Zhu Youzhen: "Your Majesty, this is ......"

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and said: "Cao Daban, this is what I often say about immortals, you go and order, serve a few more dishes, I want to have a good chat with the immortals." ”

The old eunuch looked at Zhu Youzhen hesitantly, saw that his eyes were firm, gritted his teeth, said no more, and went down to order people.

After Bao Feng was greeted by Zhu Youzhen and sat down, he took the lead in asking, "What happened to Your Majesty?" Hasn't Jiannu left yet? I see that Your Majesty is much haggard. ”

When Zhu Youzhen heard this, he knelt down again, and sobbed: "Please save the immortals, save the Ming!" ”

Bao Feng saw that Zhu Youzhen knelt down for him at every turn this time, and there was no trace of happiness in his heart, but he was faintly annoyed, and immediately said sharply: "Your Majesty, you are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the backbone of the empire, how can you kneel and pray so much." Don't stand up yet! ”

Zhu Youzhen saw that Bao Feng was angry, but he didn't stand up, he still knelt, and explained: "Shangxian, I kneel, it's not that I'm weak, it's for the sake of my Ming Dynasty not to die, and my Chinese Han people not to be bullied by foreign races...... If the immortals are willing to help, even if they want to die, it doesn't matter, let alone just kneel. ”

When Bao Feng heard this, his heart was a little relieved, but he still couldn't get used to seeing Zhu Youzhen kneeling, so he got up and forcibly helped Zhu Youzhen up and pulled him to the table to sit down, and asked curiously: "What happened to make it so?" ”

When Zhu Youzhen heard this, he began to excitedly tell Bao Feng about what had happened since he came back from Bao Feng's Shaxian County.

At the beginning, because what Zhu Youzhen took from Bao Feng was of little use to the urgent issue at that time - to expel the Jiannu led by Huang Taiji. At the same time, Zhu Youzhen also understood that he had no military command ability, so he did not interfere indiscriminately, and in the end, the result of his own change was similar to that in history.

When Huang Taiji left, Zhu Youzhen felt that it was time to sort out the dynasty, but although Zhu Youzhen had been the emperor for a few years, his anxious personality had not changed, and he opened fire on the Donglin Party as soon as he came up, but the current court politics was different from his brother and grandfather.

The foreign court and civil servants have become completely bigger, and the Donglin party has firmly controlled the government. And because the previous Zu Dashou fled with Guanning Iron Cavalry but was punished, Zhu Youzhen, as the emperor, also wavered in his control of military power. In this case, the ending is obvious. Wenchen and the emperor completely tore their faces, and without the strong support of the military power, Zhu Youzhen was completely hollowed out. If it weren't for the fact that those Wenchen still had a little bit of cheek, and at the same time understood that an emperor was needed to carry the black pot now, it is estimated that Zhu Youzhen would have died inexplicably like his brother and father.
