As soon as Wang Shaoyu saw King Chuang's army, he immediately came out and shouted: "The chief soldier Wang Shaoyu is here, you are King Chuang's soldiers and horses?" ”

"King Chuang is in the rear army, General Soldier Wang, quickly open the gate of the inner city and let the brothers enter the city!"

As soon as Wang Shaoyu heard that Li Zicheng was in the rear army, he immediately shouted three times in a row, "Okay, good!" ”

As soon as the gate of the inner city was opened, the city defense of Luoyang was suddenly opened, and the front army of the breaking army was directly killed into the city under the guidance of Wang Shaoyu's soldiers and horses.

It was only an hour, and the Great Bright Sun and Moon Dragon Banner on the city wall of Luoyang was replaced with the banner of King Chuang.

That night, Zhu Changxun still chose two young women to sleep with him according to the usual practice.

Because his body is too fat, Zhu Changxun can't be on it at all during intercourse, because it is too difficult for him to turn over.

And the body of three hundred catties, if it lies down on it, it will crush people to death.

Last year, a weak woman was crushed to death by Zhu Changxun.

Zhu Changxun was lying on the special dragon bed, enjoying happiness.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang, it's not good!"

"What's going on at night?" Zhu Changxun asked impatiently.

"Lord Wang, the army has invaded the city, and now the outside of the palace has been surrounded by thieves, Lord Wang, you better go out and have a look!"

As soon as he heard that the intrusive army had entered the city, Zhu Changxun was instantly frightened and shrank back.

The two maids who served him were also frightened at the moment.

"Lord Wang!"

"What's the noise, quick, change the clothes of this king!"

The two maids laboriously pulled Zhu Changxun up from the bed, took out tailor-made clothes and put them on Zhu Changxun's body.

Zhu Changxun, who was dressed on the boat, opened the door and looked at the panicked servants outside the door.

"What about the guards?"

"Back to the prince, General Zhu has already gone up with the guards, the prince, you better hurry up and prepare to escape, it's too late!"

As soon as the words fell, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the palace, and Zhu Changxun was startled when he heard the loud noise.

"What's that sound?"

The family on the side replied cautiously: "Listen, it looks like the sound of artillery!" ”

"Artillery? Thieves have cannons? ”

Li Zicheng personally led the troops to attack the Fuwang Mansion, the gate of the palace was extremely strong, Li Zicheng saw that his men would not be able to attack the gate for a while and a half, so he directly ordered someone to carry the artillery on the city wall over, and fired a cannon at the gate.

Under the power of artillery, the gate of the palace was directly pierced, and the palace was soon breached.

When the army invaded the palace, Zhu Changxun was escorted by a group of guards and domestic servants, and finally escaped through the secret passage of the palace.

A group of dozens of people took advantage of the night to hide in Luoyang City.

But Zhu Changxun was too fat to run at all, so he only walked a few miles, and Zhu Changxun was tired and out of breath.

He kept breathing hard, panting and saying, "No, the two kings can't run!" ”

The commander of the guard who escorted Zhu Changxun to escape couldn't help but say anxiously when he saw Zhu Changxun like this: "Lord Wang, if we don't run, we will die!" ”

"No, I'll run... Can't run! ”

This can make a group of people anxious, and now the city is in chaos, and now if you don't run away while the intruding army hasn't caught up, wait a while, and you really can't run away.

At this time, a personal soldier pointed to the lighted Ying'en Temple not far away and said, "Let's escort the prince to take shelter there first!" ”

When everyone heard this, they felt that this was an idea, so they could only quickly escort Zhu Changxun to Ying'en Temple to avoid the pursuit of the intruding army.

Zhu Changxun fled, and Li Zicheng, who got the news, was furious, and he scolded his subordinates: "Quick, send someone to find me, Zhu Changxun is a big fat man, how far did he run, scatter all the soldiers, and look for it all over the city, even if it turns Luoyang upside down, you have to find it for me!" ”

Hundreds of thousands of troops rummaged through the boxes and cabinets in Luoyang City, and many soldiers began to enter people's homes wantonly under the pretext of arresting Zhu Changxun, the king of Fu.

They drove the people into the courtyard and asked them if they were hiding King Fu and the officials of the court, and if they did not confess, they were beaten severely.

Many families in Luoyang City were devastated, and the wealth of wealthy families was looted by the invading army.

And if he had no money in his house, he would scavenge and take away all other things of value in his house, such as flour and rice, and everything he had to eat.

Some poor people have daughters, seeing that the girls are beautiful, the army directly dragged their daughters into the house, and that night, Luoyang City was full of women's screams, children's crying, and a sea of fire.

Zhu Changxun was escorted by a group of guards and family members, and fled to Ying'en Temple in embarrassment, the monks of Ying'en Temple did not know what was happening outside at this time, and saw that it was King Fu who came in person, and the abbot personally brought people to greet him.

When they learned that Luoyang had been broken by Li Zicheng, the monks of Ying'en Temple were shocked.

That night, the monks of Ying'en Temple gathered together to discuss a way out.

After some discussion, the monks felt that King Fu would hide in Ying'en Temple, and he would definitely be discovered by Li Zicheng's troops, and once Li Zicheng was angry, Ying'en Temple would definitely be destroyed.

Instead of waiting for the Chuang army to come and kill and burn the temple, why not control the Fu King and hand it over to the Chuang army before the Chuang army finds out that the Fu King is hiding in the temple?

The abbot decided to directly tie up Zhu Changxun, who was staying in the temple.

But it is not easy to tie up Zhu Changxun and send him to the breaking army.

First of all, there are a group of unarmed monks in Ying'en Temple, and Zhu Changxun has more than 40 guards with knives by his side.

There are more than 40 people guarding Zhu Changxun's side, don't say that they are going to tie him up, even if they want to get close to him, it is impossible.

After thinking about it, the monks thought of a way, which was to send people out of the temple to find the intruding army, and let the intruding army come to the door to arrest people.

Soon, a small novice took advantage of the night to leave the Ying'en Temple, he found the intruding army who was burning and looting in the city, stopped one of the invading generals and shouted: "General, I know where the blessed king is!" ”

When the young general heard the shouts of the little novice, he found a swarthy bald head standing not far away and waving at him.

He hurriedly rode over, put a knife directly on the neck of the little novice and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"The little monk is a monk from Ying'en Temple, dare to ask this general, but is it King Chuang's subordinates?"

Although the little novice is young, he is not small.

He said with some trepidation: "The little monk knows the whereabouts of King Fu, and he has come to tell King Chuang!" ”

"Where is Zhu Changxun? Say! ”

"King Fu is hiding in our temple, and there are more than forty guards with knives around him!"

"There are only more than forty people, hahaha, little bald donkey, you lead the way in front, if you can catch Zhu Changxun, I will give you a credit!"

Xiao Shami came to the gate of Ying'en Temple with more than 1,000 troops, and Xiao Shami pointed to the temple and said: "King Fu lives in the wing room in the backyard, general, please!" ”

As soon as the young general heard this, he immediately ordered: "Rush in and catch me alive!" ”

Soon there was a shout of killing in the temple, and it was only half a pillar of incense before Zhu Changxun was carried out by the Chuang Jun brothers.

A three-hundred-pound body can only be lifted by six people.

The young general took the soldiers to carry Zhu Changxun to the location of the Zhougong Temple not far from the Ying'en Temple, at this time the sky had gradually brightened, and when the team arrived at the Zhougong Temple, they happened to meet Li Zicheng.

The young general immediately stepped forward and said to Li Zicheng: "King, I have caught Zhu Changxun!" ”

When Li Zicheng heard that Zhu Changxun was arrested, he was overjoyed.

He asked, "Where is Zhu Changxun?" ”

"It's in my ranks!"

Li Zicheng hurriedly followed the young general over.

Seeing Li Zicheng appear in front of him, Zhu Changxun was suddenly frightened and knelt down on the spot.

"Break the king's life, break the king's life!"

Li Zicheng squinted his eyes, stared at him fiercely, and said, "Spare your life? Do you deserve it too? How many evil things have you done, how many people have you killed, and how many have you spared your life? Are you not even blind to heaven? ”

When Zhu Changxun heard this, he knew that he was going to die.

After an hour, the sky was bright, Li Zicheng tied up Zhu Changxun and knelt in front of the temple gate of Zhou Gong Temple.

In front of the people of Luoyang and the soldiers of the whole army, Li Zicheng ordered Zhu Changxun to be beheaded for public display, and his head was hung above the gate of Luoyang, and his body was violent for three days.

Three days later, Zhu Changxun's 300-pound body was bought back by his two guards with money.

Two loyal guards scattered their wealth, cast a bronze coffin, put Zhu Changxun's body in it, and then took it away from Luoyang City.

......

The city of Luoyang was broken, and the news of King Fu's murder reached Beijing.

After Chongzhen received the news, he cried loudly, he didn't know how many times he had cried.

He hadn't slept well since he ascended the throne, and every day he woke up to a pile of urgent paperwork and notes from local officials.

There are far more bad things than good things in the song, either where there is a disaster, or where there is trouble.

But in Chongzhen's heart, there are only three people he hates the most.

The first to bear the brunt was Li Zicheng, who had just occupied Luoyang, because he was the number one criminal who pouted the ancestral tomb of the Zhu family.

The second is Zhang Xianzhong, who dug the ancestral grave of the Zhu family with Li Zicheng.

The third is Mo Wen, who called Wang Jianguo in Nanjing, Mo Wen claimed the king in Nanjing, captured the six southern provinces, and the finance of the Ming Dynasty lost its source at once.

Today's Ming Dynasty is a clear-eyed person who can see it, and the number of qi is exhausted!

The south is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty's taxation, and without the tax and silver of the south, the imperial court cannot say that it is to pay military salaries, or to pay officials.

In the early dynasty, Chongzhen sat on the emperor's throne with a sluggish expression, and Wang Chengen shouted on the side: "As a minister, please play, and retire from the dynasty without a book!" ”

The civil and military officials in the palace already knew the news that Li Zicheng had broken through Luoyang and killed King Fu at this moment.

But no one stood up and wanted to say something.

It's not that the ministers don't want to say anything, it's that they don't know what to say.

Now that the situation in Daming has become like this, who dares to pat their chests and promise that they can turn the tide.

Henan was a mess by Li Zicheng, and there was another Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan.

Shaanxi is still suffering from drought, and the border passes must always be on guard against the Manchu Tartars outside the customs.

Not to mention Jiangnan, even the mausoleum of Taizu was occupied by the anti-thieves, and the anti-thieves openly called Wang Jianguo, which is simply a slap in the face of Emperor Chongzhen, where is there a little face for the court.

Chongzhen looked at the group of ministers below who lowered their heads and didn't speak, and couldn't help but be angry in his heart.

He pointed to His Royal Highness's ministers and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, why don't you speak?" Are you talking? This Li Zicheng occupies Luoyang, why are you all talking like no one? ”

The ministers shut up one by one, their eyes fixed on their newly bought boots on their feet.

Chongzhen pointed with his big hand and pointed to Yang Sichang, the secretary of the Ministry of War.

"Yang Sichang, you are the secretary of the military department, and now that the thieves have occupied Luoyang, what can you do?"

Seeing that Chongzhen had been named, Yang Sichang could only stand up and replied: "Your Majesty, the plan for now, unless...."

"Unless what?"

"Unless we immediately mobilize the army of the border pass to rush south, cooperate with Sun Chuanting in Tongguan and Hong Chengchou in Shaanxi, we may be able to eliminate Li Chuang!"

"No, never! Lord Yang, do you want me to destroy the country immediately? ”

A gray-haired old minister stood up and was the first to oppose the proposal.

Everyone looked at it, it was Jiang Fengyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

When Chongzhen saw that it was him, he couldn't help but feel cold in his heart.

Although this Jiang Fengyuan is an upright person, he was once demoted because he was unhappy with Wei Zhongxian, but this person is a calligrapher and is not good at court affairs.

Chongzhen originally planned to let him go home at the end of the year to retire.

However, although Jiang Fengyuan is not good at politics, it does not mean that he is a fool.

Many ministers in the palace know that the Ming army at the border pass is the last foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and if they want to exterminate the rebels, they must be these people.

Yang Sichang saw that it was Jiang Fengyuan who was opposed, so he came out and said: "Lord Jiang, the border army is strong, and now the imperial court has no soldiers available, if you want to exterminate the rebels, without the border army, can Lord Jiang conjure up hundreds of thousands of troops?" ”

Jiang Fengyuan was speechless by Yang Sichang, but he said confidently: "Outside the pass is the Manchu Qing with wolf ambitions, if the border army is transferred, in case the Manchu Qing enters the pass and attacks the Beijing Division, can you bear this responsibility?" ”

"Since you are afraid that the Manchus will enter the customs, why don't you send someone to Liaodong first and negotiate peace with the Manchus!"

As soon as Yang Sichang's words came out, the palace was suddenly shocked.

Even Chongzhen, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was dumbfounded.

Negotiate peace!

These two words can be said to be very taboo in the imperial court.

Chongzhen thought about making peace with the Tartars more than once, but he couldn't speak on his own.

Now that Yang Sichang has spoken, he is very happy in his heart, but looking at the civil and military appearance of the Manchu Dynasty, it seems that the opposition is not small.

Sure enough, as soon as Yang Sichang said this, he was immediately drowned in saliva by hundreds of civil and military officials.

Zhou Zuo, the imperial historian of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Procuratorate, said directly to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, Weichen asks Your Majesty to issue an order to escort Yang Sichang out of the noon gate and behead him!" ”

When Chongzhen heard this, he was shocked.

"Shang Aiqing, why?"

"Your Majesty, if Yang Sichang dares to propose peace with the Tartars, he is a traitor, and the traitor deserves to be beheaded!"
