Hearing Zhu Youzhen's words, Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Xiongzhi and others did not change their faces.

They had already heard Zhu Youzhen say this once before.

As for Li Xiao, he would not be even more surprised.

The matter of Zhu Youjian hanging himself in the coal mountain is known to anyone who knows a little bit of history.

After Li Zicheng broke through the city of Beijing, Zhu Youzhen hanged himself on the crooked neck tree in the coal mountain.

It is no wonder that the later Qing court did not do a good job, otherwise the crooked neck tree that Zhu Youzhen hanged himself from at the beginning may now become a scenic spot.

They all remained silent.

No one made a sound to interrupt Zhu Youzhen.

Because Zhu Youzhen seems to be indulged in his own world at this moment, the sad emotions on his body don't seem to be acting.

Looking at Zhu Youzhen's appearance, Tian Zhiwei couldn't help but sigh lightly.

"Tsk."

He glanced at Hu Bo on the side and said in a low voice: "This guy's acting skills are really good." ”

"If you weren't a madman, you should be able to make a name for yourself as a showman."

When Hu Bo heard Tian Zhiwei's words, he gave him a blank look: "Shut your stinky mouth." ”

"You don't speak, no one treats you as dumb."

Whether it is Li Xiao or Zhu Yuanzhang, they are not speaking now, but this Tian Zhiwei ran out and talked a lot.

Besides, Zhu Youzhen's acting skills are so good, and his emotions at the moment are also rendered in place.

Everyone was silent, apparently already in the groove.

Now I'm waiting for Zhu Youzhen to continue talking and listen to the story.

But Tian Zhiwei disrupted this rhythm out of place.

Faced with Hu Bo's words, Tian Zhiwei was a little unimpressed.

In Tian Zhiwei's view, these people were originally here to eat melons.

Now they are all here to listen to Zhu Youzhen's story, but they are just here to have fun.

Immediately, Tian Zhiwei muttered again: "Didn't you say that the tongue of the hanged ghost is old." ”

"I don't think this buddy's tongue is long."

"Doesn't that look normal?"

As soon as these words came out, the originally somewhat dull atmosphere was completely broken by Tian Zhiwei.

Li Xiao and Zhu Yuanzhang can't be silent now.

They had heard Tian Zhiwei's complaints before, but they didn't speak.

Because Hu Bo had already come out and said it, let Tian Zhiwei shut up.

But apparently, Tian Zhiwei did not do that.

Not only did he not keep his mouth shut, but he also punished Zhu Youzhen's heart.

Even if Zhu Youzhen was acting, he was also immersed in sad emotions at this time.

Tian Zhiwei actually asked people who were hanged, why didn't their tongues fall out.

Isn't that?

Of those present, only Li Xiao knew that what Zhu Youzhen said was true.

Tian Zhiwei's words are definitely murderous for Zhu Youzhen.

Originally, the fall of the Ming Dynasty in his hands had already made Zhu Youzhen sad.

Now he has to face Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestor of his old Zhu family, who told the process of the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

This made Zhu Youzhen even more uncomfortable.

But Tian Zhiwei actually asked people why their tongues didn't fall out.

Isn't this pure Nazhu Youxun happy?

Immediately, Li Xiao turned his head and glared at Tian Zhiwei: "Lao Tian, can you close your stinky mouth." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang also coughed lightly twice at this time: "Ahem." ”

Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang was also a little dissatisfied with Tian Zhiwei's words.

But he was embarrassed to scold Tian Zhiwei directly, so he could only use this more tactful method.

Although Tian Zhiwei sometimes has big nerves and does not speak through his brain, he is not a fool.

Seeing that Li Xiao and Zhu Yuanzhang were both talking, he also knew that what he had just said was a little inappropriate.

immediately snorted and closed his mouth in amusement.

Seeing this, Li Xiao and Zhu Yuanzhang sighed helplessly, and then they both looked at Zhu Youzhen again.

Under the gaze of these people, Zhu Youzhen was also extremely uncomfortable at the moment.

The atmosphere that was finally created was all destroyed by Tian Zhiwei, and the emotions that he finally entered were also lost by Tian Zhiwei.

Originally, under the heavy atmosphere before, telling the story of the fall of the Ming Dynasty would definitely add points.

When the time comes, beautify yourself and say a few words that you can't help yourself, maybe Zhu Yuanzhang will not think that he is the king of the dead country.

Maybe he will be able to clear his name as the king of the country.

But now, the original dreary atmosphere is gone.

I can't enter the sad state just now.

Telling a story in this state will definitely have to discount the effect.

But at this point, he still has to continue to tell the story.

In the face of Tian Zhiwei, a-stirring stick, he could only endure it silently.

Zhu Youzhen turned his head and glanced at Tian Zhiwei very dissatisfied, and then began to brew emotions again.

But no matter how much he brewed, he didn't feel before.

Li Xiao and Zhu Yuanzhang on the side saw that Zhu Youzhen had been silent for a long time and did not speak, and they also frowned.

They didn't know what Zhu Youzhen meant by this, and why he didn't say it in the middle of the conversation.

Zhu Youzhen also seemed to feel the change in Zhu Yuanzhang's expression.

Although he felt that his emotions were not at their best at the moment, he still stubbornly continued to talk about it.

"In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, March 19, it was early spring."

"At that time, it should be pitch black on the fifth watch in Beijing, and it was still early before dawn."

"But the city of Beijing is as bright as day, and there are fires everywhere."

"It was caused after Li Zicheng's rebels invaded."

"I can see it clearly from the coal mountain."

Speaking of this, Zhu Youzhen slowly began to enter some states again, and the whole person also looked depressed.

The tone slowly became sad.

"I didn't expect Li Zicheng to really enter the city of Beijing, and I never thought that the officers and soldiers of my Ming court would be so vulnerable."

"The day came so quickly, so suddenly."

"I will always remember that day."

1644 A.D. was a turbulent year and a special one.

This year is not only the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, but also the first year of Shunzhi.

Because in this year, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the orthodox emperor Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen, hanged himself in the coal mountain, announcing the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

In the same year, Qing Shizu Aixin Jueluo Fulin successfully entered the customs under the defection of Wu Sangui.

became the first emperor after the Qing army entered the customs, and the year name was Shunzhi.

Also in January of this year, Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, was proclaimed emperor in Xi'an, with the founding name Dashun and the year name Yongchang.

This year is not only the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, but also the first year of Shunzhi and the first year of Dashun.

In this year, King Chuang was called the emperor, the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, and the Qing Dynasty entered the customs and entered the Central Plains.

The people of the Central Plains also suffered a new catastrophe.

The seventeenth year of Chongzhen, March 17.

The officers and soldiers of Dashun of King Li Zicheng have already fought under the city of Beijing.

Li Zicheng personally commanded the army to attack the Nine Gates.

Under the command of Li Zicheng, all the officers and men of the Dashun Army fought bravely and with amazing momentum.

The soldiers of the Dashun army set up flying ladders to attack the city, and they were not afraid of the tall walls of Beijing, and they forgot to die one by one.

According to reason, Beijing's city wall is high, and there are many people and food.

Even if Li Zicheng's rebels can't be defeated, there is no problem in holding the city of Beijing without being breached in a short time.

Not to mention more, it should be completely able to hold on for a month or so.

As long as a certain amount of time can be gained, when the soldiers and horses of King Qin from all over the country come to the rescue, it is not impossible to defeat Li Zicheng.

But the three major battalions of the Ming Imperial Court stationed in Beijing at the moment were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and they did not have any combat effectiveness at all.

In the face of the Dashun rebels led by Li Zicheng personally, they were not opponents at all.

It's simply a cluster of defeats, not a united enemy.

Even so, as long as you want to, you can still hold on for a while.

There is still a chance to delay until reinforcements arrive.

No matter how bad it is, it can also win the opportunity for Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen to escape.

But I never expected that the defenders of Beijing City of the Ming Dynasty did not survive even a day.

In just one day, the city of Beijing was breached.

The city was broken so quickly that everyone in Beijing had not yet reacted.

Dashun's soldiers crossed the wall and captured the outer city.

The dignified capital of the Ming Dynasty, Beijing, was attacked by Li Zicheng's army, and it didn't even last a day.

Seeing that the city was broken, the people in the city were panicked and made a mess.

The eunuch Cao Huachun immediately offered the Changyi Gate and directly opened the door to surrender.

In this way, the Dashun army led by Li Zicheng will be more unimpeded, and it will be more smooth to enter the city of Beijing.

At the same time, Zhu Youzhen, who was in the palace, also learned the news.

He really didn't expect that Beijing City would be broken so quickly.

Not even a day was held.

But what made him even more annoyed was that Cao Huachun, the eunuch, would actually defect and surrender directly to the door.

The matter has come to this point, no matter how angry Zhu Youzhen is, it is useless.

Li Zicheng has already entered the city of Beijing, and he is about to attack the imperial city directly.

In addition to the Imperial Palace, the current Forbidden City is full of Li Zicheng's people.

Even in the palace, people are already panicking, and many people are already thinking about whether to flee for their lives.

March 18 was the most memorable day in Zhu Youzhen's life.

The city of Beijing was breached on this day.

In the early morning of this day, he summoned the cabinet assistants of the Ming court for the last time.

On weekdays, these cabinet ministers are high-ranking figures.

On the land of the Ming Dynasty, they are really one person and above ten thousand people, even Wei Zhongxian, who is known as nine thousand nine hundred years old, has to restrain himself in the face of these cabinet assistants.

After all, these ministers in the cabinet are able to decide all the affairs of the Ming Dynasty.

It can lead the future direction of Daming.

But today, these cabinet ministers fell silent one by one, and their faces became much haggard.

Zhu Youzhen watched these cabinet ministers who he relied on weekdays remain silent at this critical time, and he was angry.

Usually one by one seems to be resourceful, and one by one shows how much they are interested.

But at this critical moment, no one has stood up to say a word.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what should we do now?"

"Do you have any good plans to let us get through this crisis."

Zhu Youzhen looked at these cabinet ministers and asked out loud.

Although he was very unhappy and even a little desperate, Zhu Youzhen still maintained restraint.

I hope that these cabinet ministers will be able to give some useful advice and come up with a useful idea.

But the ministers, as he had imagined, were silent.

At this time, no one dares to stand up and say that they can change the situation.

Looking at these silent ministers, Zhu Youzhen was a little angry.

"You eat all the food of the imperial court!"

"Now that the court is in trouble, you are useless."

"It's all rubbish!"

These cabinet ministers remained silent in the face of Zhu Youzhen's insults.

At this time, Zhu Youzhen became even more angry.

If one of these people stands up and says something, even if it's useless nonsense, it's fine.

But they have been silent like this, which is what makes Zhu Youzhen the most angry.

What does it mean to not speak one by one?

"Speak!"

"Y'all speak to me!"

"Isn't it usually quite able to speak? In the court, you are fighting quite hard. ”

"Why are you dumb now?"

At this time, Zhu Youzhen was already a little hysterical, and he didn't look like an emperor when he spoke.

It's like a shrew scolding the street.

This is not to blame Zhu Youzhen.

Li Zicheng has already arrived in the city, and the Ming court has also reached the moment of life and death.

It should be said that it is a situation of nine deaths and one life.

What image is there at this time, and what etiquette is there.

He glared at the ministers viciously, as if he wanted to eat people.

But no matter how insulting he was or glaring angrily, these people still bowed their heads one by one and said nothing.

This kind of suffocating silence made Zhu Youzhen completely hopeless.

Originally, he still imagined that these people would be able to show him the way, but now it seems that he is thinking too much.

"The civil and military ministers inside and outside misunderstood me! Mistake me! ”

"Mistaken !!"

Zhu You looked up to the heavenly trombone, walked around the temple, and pinched his chest.

It seemed to him that he had done his best.

He took over a mess from the carpenter emperor Zhu Youxiao, and he had done the best he thought he could, but he still couldn't change the situation.

There are too many internal and external troubles in the imperial court, and there are too many problems, which are too serious.

He couldn't change anything at all.

In Zhu Youzhen's view, the Ming Dynasty was able to get to where it is today, all of which was caused by these waste officials in the court.

It's all caused by these wastes, civil and military officials.

However, he is enthusiastic and ambitious, but in the end, he has to bear the infamy of a dead king.

This is something that Zhu Youzhen cannot accept.

So in his opinion, his fall to this point is caused by these ministers in front of him.

But even if Zhu Youzhen said such a thing, those cabinet ministers still did not speak.

One by one, they remained silent.

Zhu Youzhen, who was already exhausted, glanced at these cabinet ministers with a blank look.

The silence of these people made Zhu Youzhen breathless.

So that he has no hope at all.

He was already completely hopeless.

extinguished the last ray of light in his eyes.
