Hearing that Li Zicheng was going to attack the city from all sides, Chongzhen didn't open his eyes, and only waved his robe sleeves to answer.The eunuch looked at the posture in front of him, and also felt that something was wrong, and stood still at the door.Wang Shuo knew that he couldn't delay any longer, and said to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, please make a decision early, otherwise it will be too late" Chongzhen still didn't speak, and the ministers continued to pretend to be puppets.There was a deathly silence in the temple.After a long time, Chongzhen closed his eyes and said: "You Wang Shuo is in the northwest, abolish my court decrees, kill my court officials, self-proclaimed generals, and appoint officials on your own, what is the difference between you and Li Zicheng" asked with a cold smile, "Save me out, I am still the emperor in this Beijing city, can you still have the final say, do you want to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes, do you think I don't know" Hey, this guy was not confused Wang Shuo only distinguished: "The ministers are surrounded by thieves, and there are Mongolian Zhufan in the north, and it is difficult to gain a foothold if they do not use extraordinary means.Northwest officials, do not resist, hope that the thief will descend, the minister has to kill the person who has two ambitions, please Your Majesty Mingjian out of the city, where is Your Majesty willing to go, the minister will send Your Majesty to go, there is no intention of coercion, Your Majesty rest assured. ”Wang Shuo could only try his best to coax him, but he felt in his heart that Chongzhen was not such an easily fooled person.The things Wei Zaode said just now are very different from the history he knows.Yuan Chonghuan is a historical celebrity, and he knows some of his deeds.In Qing history, it was said that Chongzhen fell for Huang Taiji's plan of "Jiang Gan stealing books", so he wanted to kill him.Some wild histories say that it was because Yuan Chonghuan was good at killing Mao Wenlong, and the "platform response" promised Chongzhen to restore Liao in five years, but Liaodong was confiscated and recovered, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty hit Beijing instead.Now standing in front of Chongzhen, Wang Shuo felt that Chongzhen was an extremely shrewd person, and the plan of the Emperor Taiji was simply impossible, but what Wei Zaode said just now was more credible.An official as big as Yuan Chonghuan, if Chongzhen wants to kill him, the beheading will be over, why use the punishment This is completely because Chongzhen hates this Yuan barbarian.Why did he hate him for revealing the secret that he wanted to have an affair with Huang Taiji, which made him lose face.At the same time, the anger of beating Huang Taiji to Jingshi was transferred to Yuan Chonghuan.Wang Qia was made a scapegoat for the Qing army's invasion, Chen Xinjia was killed for leaking Chongzhen's letter of fornication with the Manchu Qing, and Yuan Chonghuan made both mistakes, so it was natural to get a punishment.Sure enough, Chongzhen was not confused at all, and Wang Shuo's explanation was useless.Hearing Wang Shuo say where he went, Wang Shuo sent him there, and couldn't help but sneer: "I won't go anywhere."
This is my home, and this is where I finally belong. ”Wang Shuo hurriedly said: "Your Majesty will break through the inner city in less than a day, Your Majesty will not leave at this time, you will regret it" Chongzhen smiled: "How can I let him be captured alive if he breaks through the Jingshi, and he will be humiliated like the second emperor of Huiqin" Wang Shuo only then understood that before Li Zicheng broke through Beijing, Chongzhen's death intention had been decided.At this time, the eunuch at the door ran over crying, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, don't think about anything else.We still have 100,000 forbidden troops, and the Jianzhou slaves have repeatedly attacked the Beijing division in vain, and Li Zicheng can't get in. ”Chongzhen sighed lightly and said to the eunuch: "Wang Chengen, this time it is different from the slave from Jianzhou.100,000 marches, hehe, if you really want 100,000 troops, Li Zicheng may not even be able to enter Zhili, don't be relieved.You don't want to defend the city, just here, don't go anywhere, stay with me here. ”Looking up at the ministers standing in front of him, he said, "You have been with me for a long time, what should you do?"
It doesn't matter if you scold me for being mediocre in your hearts, or if you say I'm confused, I'm too lazy to bother with you, and history will have its own judgment in the future. ”Those people were a little embarrassed on their faces, some knelt down and kowtowed to Chongzhen, stood up and left, and some turned around and walked directly.Zhang Jinyan still wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he closed his mouth, and arched his hand at Chongzhen: "The minister will go to defend the city and do his best for His Majesty."
Chongzhen didn't look at these ministers, as if they didn't exist, and only said to Wang Chengen: "Chengen, you have been standing for me all these years, and today you can also move to a seat, come and sit down, and talk to me." ”Wang Chengen couldn't help but burst into tears, agreed, got up from the ground tremblingly, went to the side and moved an embroidered dragon pier, and sat next to Chongzhen's imperial case.There was still a Du Xun lying on the ground, and when he saw that everyone was gone, he said anxiously: "Your Majesty, you have to let someone send me out of the city, otherwise the King of Qin and the King of Jin will die." ”Chongzhen looked at him and smiled: "King Qin and King Jin have long been dead.Although I am in the deep palace, I still know a little about the things outside.Jin Yiwei, that Luo Yang, is not eating my food in vain.How could Zhou Yanru die He is the same as you, thinking that I don't know anything except the things in the palace, and I can fool me, but don't worry, you betrayed me, I don't blame you.So many ministers are unreliable, not to mention that you are a eunuch who eats and lives in the palace all day long and doesn't know anything.Go out and find someone yourself, and see who is there, and let whoever send you out, and say that it is my word. ”Wang Shuo accosted on the side: "The minister respectfully obeys His Majesty's instructions, and will send Du's father-in-law out of the city." ”Let's arrest Du Xun.The heart said that you still want to go out of the city, go out of the city to betray me, you Wang Shuo has a lot of strength, and he generally lifted Du Xun up when he mentioned the chicken.Du Xun hung in the air, kicking and grabbing his hands and feet, and hissed: "Your Majesty, don't let him send me, he doesn't send me, he wants to kill me" Chongzhen didn't seem to hear Du Xun's shout at all, and said to Wang Shuo: "After sending him away, Qing will come back, I still want to ask Qing about something." ”Wang Shuo shouted: "Obey." ”carried Du Xun out of the Wuying Palace.It was past noon, and there were very few people in the front palace south of the Jianji Palace.Knowing that Li Zicheng would come in soon, everyone who could run ran away, just like at five o'clock in the afternoon in modern times, when the Palace Museum was about to close.Wang Shuo walked out of Wuying Gate, and the guards outside Wuying Gate were gone.Ignoring Du Xun's shouting all the way, he found a deep well in the patio of a small courtyard, and said to Du Xun: "Three hundred years later, if I am here, I will contact the Palace Museum and tell them that Du Xun, the eunuch of the Xuanfu Prison and the head of the Cultural Palace, is here, and let them fish you up when the time comes." ”Without waiting for Du Xun to answer, he threw him headfirst down.Wang Shuo put his ear to the edge of the well to listen, and the well fluttered for a while and then there was no movement.He was still not at ease, afraid that Du Xuan would climb up.If this kid goes out to see Li Zicheng, he and Li Yan will be finished.To be on the safe side, he went to the corners of the surrounding walls to find a few granite boulders used by craftsmen to repair the palace, and with great difficulty moved them into the well, listening to the silence inside, and then leaving with confidence
