With this virtue at the end of the Ming Dynasty, take the prince and princess away, I'm afraid that the news will leak before I leave the palace.

Chongzhen doesn't have that ability, so he can only rely on Wang Tiaoding.

A few days later, Wang Tiaoding made a plan to go out of the city, and Chongzhen was very satisfied.

So he sent out a holy decree, ordering the Zongren Mansion palm seal, the horse Duwei Ran Xingrang, to go to the imperial tomb instead of the royal family, and pray for the ancestors and ancestors to bless the Ming Dynasty forever. Due to the emptiness of the treasury, the sacrifice was kept simple and the scale of the sacrifice was reduced as much as possible.

This is in line with the practice of the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor generally only attends the big sacrifice.

Usually worship the gods of the mountains and rivers, and mostly hand it over to the officials of the Ministry of Rites to preside. To worship the imperial tomb or something, it is to let the noble relatives do it for them.

But this time it's a bit outrageous, Chongzhen seems to feel that a horse sacrifice is not sincere, and sends his children out to sacrifice.

Chongzhen's children who had not died at this time included the eldest son Zhu Cijiong (11 years old), the third son Zhu Cijiong (8 years old), the fourth son Zhu Cijiong (8 years old), Princess Changping (11 years old), and Princess Zhaoren (1 year old).

Princess Zhaoren was carried out of the city by a nurse.

This kind of sacrifice is not in accordance with the rules, but it doesn't matter, who the hell cares.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, including the noble relatives, are changing their methods to make money. Just wait for the city of Beijing to be broken, and immediately take refuge in the new monarch and keep his wealth and prosperity is fundamental.

There were more than 100 people in the sacrificial procession, and they rode to the north.

In this northward direction, no one guessed that it was going south. Who would have thought that when the prince and princess ran away, they would also make a noise first, and it was specifically to confuse the ministers.

When he arrived at Qinghedian, he suddenly had a pain in his abdomen, ordered the team to stop and rest, and sent his soldiers back to the city to ask for a doctor.

According to the geographical location of later generations, Qinghedian is located outside the North Fifth Ring Road, and the scale of the town has not yet been formed at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

The battle of Song Liao's sorghum He, the base camp of the Liao army is here!

That night, Ran Xingrang called the prince and princess, looking like he was dying, as if he wanted to leave some last words.

said a lot of things upside down, and intermittently, which made Zhu Cihong a little impatient.

At this moment, countless torches were lit on the other side of the Qinghe Bridge, and then the shouts of killing were everywhere: "Kill into Beijing and capture the emperor alive!" ”

Everyone was shocked, officials, factory guards, soldiers, and miscellaneous servants ran away one after another, and some didn't even bother to put on clothes and shoes.

Ran Xingrang turned over and got up, and admonished: "Don't panic! ”

The nurse trembled with fright, and hugged Princess Zhaoren to escape, but her legs were weak and she couldn't walk, crying: "This ...... How can this be done? ”

Ran Xingrang scolded: "Shut up! ”

Ran Xingrang hated the princess's nurse very much, because the princess would marry in the future, and the nurse would probably be the chief housekeeper of the princess's mansion.

Back then, Ran Xingrang suffered a lot, and every time he met with Princess Shouning, he had to bribe the housekeeper and the eunuch. Once, the housekeeper's wife was drinking and gambling money, Ran Xingrang didn't bother, and went directly into the house to chat with the princess.

When the housekeeper's wife learned of the situation, she rushed into the room to catch the adulterer, scolded the princess for being shameless, and asked the eunuch to beat the horse.

The princess ran to her biological mother (Zheng Guifei) to complain, but she couldn't see her mother at all. Because the housekeeper's wife has already sued the wicked first, and has bought off the eunuchs and palace maids around Concubine Zheng.

This situation occurred many times in the Ming Dynasty, especially in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, when the princess and the concubine were bullied.

A red-helmeted general rushed in and said anxiously to Ran Xingrang: "Master Horse, the thief is here, quickly escort the prince and princess to evacuate!" ”

Ran Xingrang smiled: "You didn't run for your life? ”

The red-helmeted general said, "The royal nobles are here, how can they give it up? Master Horse, don't say more, quickly protect the prince and princess and escape for your life! ”

"What's your name?" Ran Xingrang asked.

The red-helmet general was so anxious that he grabbed Zhu Cihong and pulled out: "Master Ma, I'll take the prince and escape first!" ”

"The Holy Purpose is here!"

Ran Xingrang took out a holy decree, which belonged to the middle decree and did not go through the celebrant and the cabinet.

The Red Helmet General was stunned, and finally realized that something was wrong.

Ran Xingrang pointed outside: "Those are not thieves, they are people arranged by His Majesty." ”

"Your Majesty, this is a ......," the Red Helmet General became more and more confused.

Ran Xingrang explained: "Your Majesty has canonized Zhao Han as the king of Wu and married Princess Changping. The prince and princess are all going to Nanjing. You are very good, there are hundreds of people this time, and you are the only one who stays to protect the safety of the royal family. ”

The Red Helmet General was shocked, and then felt that it was reasonable, Da Ming was definitely going to die, and the emperor should indeed leave a way out for his children.

The Red Helmet General arched his hand and replied: "In the next week, Ying Yuan will be just a Red Helmet pawn." ”

The so-called Red Helmet General is the honor guard of the Ming Emperor.

You must be tall, good-looking, and innocent in order to be selected for the honor guard. The armor is all good, it may be papier-mâché, and the weapons may be all wood painted.

This situation is very common, and the honor guard of European monarchs, the armor is also a beautiful goods.

Ran Xingrang said: "You go to Nanjing with me, and when you get to the land of Jianghuai, I will send someone back to pick up your family, and my family will stay in Beijing at the moment." ”

"Yes!"

Zhou Yingyuan was overjoyed.

It's one thing to be loyal to the royal family, but who wouldn't want to be able to live? Not to mention that it can save the life of the whole family.

Wang Tiaoding paced into the account, and there were two swordsmen standing behind him, and said with a smile: "Master Horse, please." ”

Zhu Cihong, Zhu Yujiao and other emperor's children left the Forbidden City for the first time from childhood to adulthood. They were frightened at first, but now they understood a little, and followed everyone to the river in a daze.

There were more than twenty small boats docked in the river, and on each boat, there were three sword-carrying warriors.

This is Wang Tiaoding's own Datong member who developed in the capital, and he borrowed from Xu Ying's set.

Ran Xingrang boarded a small boat, and a Confucian priest gave him his hand: "Master Ma, it's been a long time." ”

"Yuan Zongxian?" Ran Xing was a little surprised.

This Confucian scholar's name is Yuan Jixian, a native of Jiangxi, and he is quite appreciated by Yang Sichang.

After Yang Sichang's death, Yuan Jixian was attacked by political enemies, saying that he was an internal response sent by Zhao Han, and that the Yuan family had become a thief. Because of the defeat on the front line, Yuan Jixian was imprisoned and was released half a year ago.

Yuan Jixian was able to get out of prison, not because he paid money to atone for his crimes, but because dozens of his disciples walked all the way from Shanxi to the capital to detain and cry out.

The initiator of entering Beijing is named Fu Shan, the word Qingzhu, Qingzhu!

This person also cultivates Confucianism and Taoism, works in poetry, calligraphy and painting, and is also good at swordsmanship, and by the way, he works part-time as a medical saint.

Of course, at this time, he did not have the reputation of "medical saint", and he was a well-known good doctor, and he only focused on medical skills after his death.

Fu Shan stood beside Yuan Jixian, holding a penny in his hand, and using the light of the torch to support the ship offshore.

Ran Xingrang looked up at the night sky and let out a long sigh.

Chongzhen and Wang Tiaoding, the reason why they chose this concubine to do things is because the concubines in the Ming Dynasty have always been very poor.

It's not that the family is poor, but that he is very poor, because he doesn't have any real power to speak of, and he can't even afford to occupy land in the suburbs of Beijing.

Even in terms of horses, Ran Xingrang is also the poorest among the horses.

At that time, there were three candidates, and the other two were brightly dressed, but Ran Xingrang was wearing old clothes, and he had low self-esteem and did not dare to raise his head. Emperor Wanli fell in love at a glance, he was poor, and he was still timid, and he was a good match for his daughter.

Historically, Li Zicheng went to Beijing to be tortured, and Ran Xingrang was beaten to death, and he was not able to torture the cellar silver.

Poor ghost!

What's more, Ran Xingrang's hometown is in Nanzhili, and he is very willing to carry out the task in order to go home.

Everyone escorted the prince and princess, sailed from the Qinghe River to the Yuhe River, rowed all the way to Tongzhou, and then transferred to the big boat to Nanjing.

But it was said that the red helmets, officials, eunuchs, factory guards and miscellaneous servants who had fled ran all the way to the outside of Beijing, shouting in terror: "The thieves are coming, open the city gate quickly!" ”

The defenders panicked, and instead of thinking about defending the city, they rushed home.

There are also generals who defend the city come back to their senses, what are they running? The thieves came to surrender, and they could also get the merit of sacrificing the city.

They waited left and right, and the thieves just didn't come, and they were inevitably a little disappointed.

The news leaked, the whole city was in chaos, and shouts were heard everywhere in the night.

The ministers were also frightened enough, only a few went to the city to defend, and most of them hid at home, waiting for the next day to surrender to the thieves. There are also some loyal ministers who have tied the ropes, and the whole family hangs themselves when the thieves break through the city.

Chaos soon spread to the Imperial City, and the Imperial City guards panicked and went home.

eunuchs and palace maids steal goods. Some of them waited for the change of dynasty, and some of them slipped out of the palace with their goods.

The big eunuchs didn't dare to leave, they had too much silver, and they were easy to be robbed halfway, so it was more secure to take refuge in the new king.

Chongzhen was woken up in the middle of the night, and the eunuch Wang Chengen broke in and shouted in fear: "Emperor, the thieves have entered the city, let's escape!" ”

The news spread very outrageously, and when it reached the eunuch, Li Zicheng had actually entered the city of Beijing.

Tian Guifei sat up in a panic: "How can this be good?" ”

Tian Guifei gave birth to two sons, one died last year, and another died this year. She became depressed, and Chongzhen often came to the same room recently, which was to comfort Tian Guifei's pain of losing her child.

Chongzhen smiled calmly: "Continue to sleep peacefully, Li Chuang is fake, I know it in my heart." ”

Wang Chengen and Tian Guifei were both shocked, thinking that Emperor Chongzhen was frightened and confused.

At this moment, Empress Zhou and other concubines also hurried to Concubine Tian's bedroom.

I couldn't sleep tonight, Chongzhen asked the concubines to sit down, and said to Wang Chengen: "There are many eunuchs in the palace, only you come to report the news, and you can see people's hearts when you are in trouble." ”

"The slave is willing to die for the emperor," Wang Chengen knelt down, "Emperor, take advantage of the chaos and escape!" ”

Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "The thief didn't come, you all have peace of mind." As for the prince and princess, they must have gone away by boat at this time. The south is gone, the Central Plains is gone, and the northwest and eastern Liaodong are gone. I and Da Ming, just waiting for death. While you are not dead, live a clean life. Over the years, I have not been idle, but now I can finally be idle. ”

Historically, the southern provinces were still in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and Chongzhen was busy fighting wits and courage with the ministers.

Chongzhen wanted to move south, suggesting that the minister would take the initiative.

Some ministers also wanted to move south, hoping that Chongzhen would take the initiative to propose it.

The monarchs and ministers did not dare to say that they moved south, and even if any minister said it, he would be sprayed bloodied by the ministers.

So it kept consuming until Li Zicheng's troops came to the city.

Now that he doesn't have to worry so much, and he can't find a place to move the capital, Chongzhen decides to enjoy the rest of his life, and when Beijing is broken, his family will commit suicide.

Especially tonight, the whole city was in chaos, and only one Wang Chengen came to report the news.

Fake news is like this, can Li Zicheng really call and keep it?

"Haha, don't be sad, go to Xiyuan Lake tomorrow!"

Chongzhen laughed heartily, and he was light when he had nothing to do, as if he was back when he was a prince.
