King Hui was taken to the heavenly prison, and what awaited him was to be put to death. Since ancient times, those who rebelled, whether it was the prince or the small people, either succeeded in becoming the emperor or were exterminated by the nine clans, and there was no third way to go.

In such a thing as rebellion, we cannot say who is right and who is wrong, the successful is right, and the loser is wrong.

Although King Hui's rebellion was quelled, Chongzhen did not have the slightest joy in his heart, Li Zicheng's army was still outside Beijing, as long as Li Zicheng's army was not wiped out for a day, Chongzhen's throne would be unstable.

"Yuan Chengzhi, your father was indeed killed by me, but I did have a last resort at that time. Chongzhen said to Yuan Chengzhi.

Yuan Chengzhi sneered: "Oh, you are the emperor, the world is all yours, what are your troubles?"

Chongzhen shook his head and said: "At that time, some people said that your father Yuan Chonghuan collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and at the beginning, I didn't believe it. I asked Jin Yiwei to check, but I didn't expect the evidence to be conclusive, even if I wanted to bypass your father, it wouldn't work. If I don't kill your father, I won't be able to explain it to the rest of the world. ”

Yuan Chengzhi roared loudly: "You are talking nonsense, my father is a loyal minister, and it is impossible for him to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country." ”

Yuan Chengzhi absolutely did not believe that his father would collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, back then, Yuan Chonghuan fought with the Manchu Tartars on the battlefield, Yuan Chengzhi still remembers it clearly.

Chongzhen smiled bitterly: "Later, I found out that many of the so-called evidence were fake. Those 'evidence's are all forged by Huang Taiji, your father Yuan Chonghuan is Huang Taiji's enemy of life and death, Huang Taiji can't kill your father, so he can only use counter-tactics to let me kill him. But by the time I found out the truth, it was too late. ”

Yuan Chengzhi closed his eyes in pain, he didn't expect that his father's death was actually a counter-plot of Huang Taiji.

"I'm going to make sure I get to the bottom of it. If you're lying to me. I will definitely come back and kill you. Yuan Chengzhi glared at Chongzhen and said coldly.

Chongzhen said to the surrounding Imperial Forest Army: "Let him go!"

"Huh!"

The Imperial Forest Army in front gave way to a one-zhang wide road and let Yuan Chengzhi leave.

"Puff......" An Jianqing spat out a mouthful of blood.

"An Aiqing, how are you?" Chongzhen hurriedly asked.

An Jianqing said weakly: "Your Majesty, Weichen was shattered by Cao Huachun's fist, and I am afraid that he will not survive." ”

Chongzhen sighed and asked, "Aiqing, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?" ”

An Jianqing knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, for the sake of Weichen's loyalty over the years. I hope the emperor will pardon my wife and daughter's guilt. ”

Chongzhen also knew that An Jianqing's wife and daughter were serving in King Chuang's army. Chongzhen nodded and said, "Aiqing, don't worry, I just forgave them." ”

............

Yuan Chengzhi returned to the inn, Wen Qingqing hugged him all of a sudden, and said worriedly: "Big brother, why have you been there for such a long time?" According to the inn's junior second. There was a riot at the palace, and I was really worried to death. ”

Yuan Chengzhi hugged Wen Qingqing. comforted: "Brother Qing." It's all right, haven't I come back? As soon as the morning dawns we will go out of the city and go to join the king of Chuang. ”

Wen Qingqing nodded and said, "Yes." ”

............

Yuan Chengzhi and Wen Qingqing returned to King Chuang's army, and Li Yan came.

"Big brother. Yuan Chengzhi hugged his fists.

Li Yan said with a smile: "Knowing that you are back, brother, I will come to you after I put down my military affairs." ”

Yuan Chengzhi saw that Li Yan looked a little anxious, and asked, "I don't know what the eldest brother is looking for Chengzhi?"

Li Yan said: "Chengzhi. You also know that King Chuang will arrive at the city of Beijing tomorrow, and the time for a change of dynasty is coming. However, the defense of Beijing City was also very strong, especially the tens of thousands of Imperial Forest Army. The combat effectiveness is very strong, and if it is attacked, my army is afraid that it will have to pay a heavy price. ”

"In order to reduce the loss of soldiers, I have decided to send your Golden Snake Battalion out. In the Golden Snake Battalion, there are many martial arts masters, and they may not be as good as ordinary soldiers in attacking the city, but if they are used as internal responses, they are very suitable. ”

Yuan Chengzhi understood Li Yan's words: "Does the eldest brother want my Golden Snake Battalion to enter Beijing City, and then join forces with King Chuang's army to take Beijing City?"

Li Yan nodded and said, "Yes, that's what it means to be a brother." ”

Yuan Chengzhi nodded and said, "Big brother, don't worry, my Golden Snake Battalion will definitely take the city gate and let King Chuang's army enter Beijing City smoothly." ”

Li Yan said happily: "Brother, I believe in you for my brother." I'll send you a signal when the time comes. ”

............

Yuan Chengzhi found Sha Tianguang, Chu Hongliu and others, and told them about the plan to seize the city, and after listening to Yuan Chengzhi's words, all the masters of the Golden Snake Battalion were quite excited.

"Childe, we will definitely succeed. Sha Tianguang said happily.

Chu Hongliu also nodded and said, "Yes, we will definitely take the city gate." My Lao Chu was originally just a bandit leader, but now with my son, he can do such an earth-shattering thing, and it is not in vain that my old Chu will live for a lifetime. Haha......"

Yuan Chengzhi sneaked into Beijing overnight with more than 100 masters of the Golden Snake Battalion.

............

In the imperial study, Chongzhen is still dealing with government affairs.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty. Wang Chengen came in and said, "Li Chuang's army is less than fifty miles away from the capital. ”

Wang Chengen's eyes were full of panic, as if the whole sky was about to fall.

Chongzhen shook the brush in his hand, and a drop of ink fell onto the fold.

"Companion, where is our army of King Qin, where is the army of King Qin?"

Wang Chengen's face turned pale, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, there is no army of King Qin, and there is no army all the way." ”

Chongzhen said loudly: "Sue the Imperial Forest Army, defend the city of Beijing, I believe that the army of King Qin will definitely come." Li Chuang wants my Zhu family's country, it's not so easy, as long as King Qin's army arrives, Li Chuang's thief army will definitely be wiped out!"

..................

The next morning, Li Zicheng's army besieged the city of Beijing.

When the Imperial Forest Army saw the hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city, everyone was beating drums in their hearts, and their hands holding weapons were sweating.

In the city of Beijing, chaos began to appear, and robberies were taking place everywhere.

Li Zicheng shot a ringing arrow. Yuan Chengzhi and others in the city saw the arrows and immediately killed them at the city gate.

"Brothers of the Golden Snake Battalion, kill me, open the gates of the city, and welcome the king into the city!"

The golden snake sword in Yuan Chengzhi's hand turned into a sword light and killed the officers and soldiers at the city gate.

"Kill! Open the city gates and welcome the king into the city!"

The people of the Golden Snake Battalion, every one of them are strong in martial arts, and the officers and soldiers defending the city are not opponents at all. Soon. The gates of the city were opened.

Li Yan saw that the city gate was opened, and said happily: "King Chuang, Chengzhi has succeeded." The gates were opened. ”

Li Zicheng laughed wildly: "Haha, sons, let me kill it." After entering the city. This king has allowed you to rob the city of Beijing for three days!"

"Roar!" the army of King Chuang let out a roar, and everyone's eyes were full of greed.

The city of Beijing was the capital of the Ming Dynasty. There are so many goodies in it. Money women will be at their disposal.

"Kill!" King Chuang's army rushed towards Beijing like a tide.

............

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty. Wang Chengen said in horror, "Your Majesty, you can't stop it." Li Chuang's army has entered the city, and the Imperial Forest Army has been defeated. Now Li Chuang's army is looting everywhere. Your Majesty, the palace can't be saved, let's hurry up. ”

Chongzhen shouted loudly: "Let's go, where else can we go? What about those ministers? What about those elders?"

Wang Chengen shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, those ministers are gone." ”

Chongzhen and Wang Chengen came to the dormitory. It was found that Empress Zhou, Ah Jiu, the crown prince and others were all here. They were also panicked.

If the palace is breached, Li Zicheng will definitely not let them go.

Chongzhen held a long sword and said hatefully: "The capital is broken today, and we won't be able to survive." In order to save the royal face, I can only kill you, so that you will not be insulted. ”

The crown prince, Empress Zhou and others wept sadly, looking at the long sword in Chongzhen's hand, with a look of fear.

Emperor Chongzhen said loudly: "Don't cry. When you die, I will come with you. I am the Ming Dynasty, I don't make peace, I don't cut the land, I don't pay compensation, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies. Even if I die, I will not surrender to Li Chuang. ”

Chongzhen stabbed several concubines to death with a long sword, and the prince cried loudly: "Father, don't kill me." ”

Ah Jiu cried: "Father, don't kill again, when they go, they should be able to escape from the city now, let them be ordinary people in the future." ”

Chongzhen saw that the prince and the others were afraid of death, and he was immediately furious, and slashed at Ah Jiu with a sword.

That's when ......

A white streamer flew in and collapsed the long sword in Emperor Chongzhen's hand.

Chongzhen saw the long sword stuck on the pillar and let out a trembling sound.

"Who is it?" said Emperor Chongzhen loudly.

"Squeak!"

The door was opened, and Wang Yue walked in.

"In Xia Wangyue, I have seen the emperor. Wang Yue hugged Chongzhen with his fist, and then said to Ah Jiu, "Ah Jiu girl, we meet again." ”

"Before coming down to King Qin, it's finally too late. ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard that Wang Yue was coming to King Qin, his eyes lit up, and he asked happily: "Wang Aiqing, what official position are you now, and how many soldiers and horses have you brought?"

Wang Yue shook his head and said, "I don't have an official position now, and I haven't brought soldiers and horses. This time, the only one who came to King Qin was the next person. ”

Chongzhen suddenly laughed: "Haha, you came to King Qin alone? Who do you think you are? Can you defeat Li Chuang's hundreds of thousands of troops? Wang Yue, if you can save the capital, I will crown you king!"

It's so funny to come to King Qin alone.

Wang Yue smiled and said, "Your Majesty, although it is impossible for me to save Beijing City alone, I can still do it if I want to save you." Of course, if you don't want to die!"

Chongzhen said coldly: "You have such a big breath. Well, I'll see how you can save us today. ”

Wang Yue smiled confidently: "Ah Jiu, take your father, emperor and queen mother and others to follow me, let's go!"

As soon as Wang Yue left the dormitory with Chongzhen, Ah Jiu and others, they were blocked by Li Zicheng and his troops.

Li Yan and Mu Renqing were also among them, and they stood behind Li Zicheng.

"Wang Yue?" Mu Renqing was taken aback, he didn't expect Wang Yue to be with Emperor Chongzhen.

Seeing Li Zicheng and others, the crown prince and Queen Zhou and others were all flustered, only Chongzhen and Ah Jiumian did not change. Chongzhen has seen through life and death, and Ah Jiu has confidence in Wang Yue.

Wang Yue stared at Li Zicheng and said lightly: "King Chuang, I want to take away the emperor and the crown prince and others, what's the matter, do you have an opinion?"
