Li Zicheng went to the court for the first time, and he actually did the absurd thing of indiscriminately sealing the queen.Prime Minister Niu Jinxing was angry in his heart, and he didn't talk at the moment, so he avoided this and didn't mention it, and let the eunuch go to the harem with the holy decree.Niu Jinxing wore the prime minister's court clothes, held a jade guard, bowed down and said loudly: "The ministers lead a hundred officials, congratulations to Your Majesty, the soldiers are bloodless, and the Lord of the benevolence and saints of Your Majesty in Gyeonggi is favored by God."
Today, auspicious clouds are full of gold, enveloping the capital division; Crape myrtle is bright, and the confusion is fading, which indicates that the great shun is bright, which is the will of heaven.The ministers congratulate Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live", and led the ministers of the palace to kneel down again.Li Zicheng was acting normally this time, and when Qunchen Shan finished shouting, he said, "Qing is flat." ”After the ministers got up and divided the civil and military affairs into east and west, Niu Jinxing went out again and said: "Your Majesty asks Your Majesty to issue an edict to order Qintian to choose an auspicious day, and Your Majesty will lead your ministers to sacrifice to heaven and earth to become a great unification." ”Li Zicheng said: "Quasi-play." ”The eunuch Bingbi hurriedly drafted the decree and handed over the decree to the eunuch to go to the Qintianjian on the order.One of the last generals stood up, and it was the new pro-army lieutenant who succeeded Luo Bao.He played: "The minister was ordered to look for Chongzhen, and now he has found it." ”Li Zicheng was shocked and asked: "Found it, where is it" Nadu Wei said: "On Jingshan behind the palace." ”Li Zicheng was overjoyed and said, "Oh, take me to see" and then got up.Niu Venus frowned when he looked at it.What is this for, this is the court has not heard of any emperor going to court, threw the ministers halfway, and ran away with the guards.Li Zicheng saw Niu Jinxing's face, and knew that he was not doing what he was doing, so he sat back on the dragon chair, straightened his face and said, "Bring Chongzhen to me here." ”The lieutenant looked embarrassed and said, "He, he hanged himself, and next to him, he also hanged a eunuch." ”Niu Jinxing couldn't hold back any longer, and scolded the captain: "Hugh should panic and tell the story slowly." ”Nadu Weilian claimed that it was, and said: "Yesterday, everyone only cared about searching in the palace, and forgot to go out of the palace to see."
The minister has a henchman named Sanxi, looking at the back garden There is a door that leads to the outside, he just told me this morning, I thought, maybe Chongzhen will run out of that door, "Niu Jinxing is really impatient, it seems that these officials have to find someone to teach well, they are all like this, this is not a joke every day, where is there a court to talk and do things, he has to be concise He interrupted the captain and said: "Talk simply, don't talk about what you think in your heart." ”The lieutenant also said yes, and said in his heart that you asked me to speak slowly, why would this be too long-winded for me and continued: "The minister ran to Jingshan this morning and saw two people, one was hanging on a crooked old locust tree, and there was another hanging on the begonia tree next to him.I asked the eunuch, and the eunuch was knowledgeable, saying that the one hanging from the crooked neck old locust tree was Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty; The one hanging from the begonia tree next to him is his eunuch Wang Chengen.Chongzhen's clothes also had many words written with a brush, and the minister didn't know it, so he cut off the handwriting and asked His Majesty to adjudicate.But Your Majesty hasn't woken up," Niu Jinxing interrupted him again, "Okay, present that handwriting to Your Majesty." ”The lieutenant took out a white cloth with black handwriting from his bosom and handed it to the eunuch who had come.Li Zicheng took it from the eunuch and watched it carefully, and said with a smile after reading it: "He has no face to see his ancestor."
The little family foundation created by his ancestors made him lose everything. ”Let the eunuch show it to the ministers.Seeing that Chongzhen was really dead, he finally put down a stone in his heart.Niu Jinxing took the cloth, and saw that it was a piece of Suzhou embroidered silk, with gold silk embedded in it, which should be a royal thing, and saw that the silk was scribbled on: I despise Liangde, and I am to blame the heavens, but all the ministers are mistaken.I died without a face to see my ancestors, and I took off my crown and covered my face with hair.Niu Jinxing's face was heavy, and after reading it, he wordlessly handed it over to Song Xiance, who was the next one.Many of the ministers were former court officials, and some couldn't help but sob.This is also understandable.Although Chongzhen was not good, the people of that era still paid attention to loyalty, unlike China during World War II, where there were so many traitors.This is also related to the entry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which made the people lose their sense of belonging to the nation and the country, and the time was too short to build the country by the Han people themselves.The Manchu Qing Dynasty was a foreign court, and it belonged to the Altaic language family, which is not the same language family as ours; The Great Japanese Empire is also a foreign race, but it is still a language family with us, so it is much closer to the Qing Dynasty, and the allegiance to whom is not the same even if Chongzhen is so crazy, and the indiscriminate killing of ministers has reached the point of no return, Li Zicheng broke the Beijing Division, and dozens of Beijing officials under the university scholar Fan Jingwen committed suicide and martyrdom, which shows the integrity of the people at that time.When President Chiang fled Nanjing, I don't know if Li Yan returned from the court and told Wang Shuo what happened in the court.Wang Shuo had been to Jingshan when he left the palace, and knew that Chongzhen had died there, but he was in a hurry at that time and didn't have time to take a closer look.When Chongzhen left Wuying Palace, his face was so peaceful.Wang Shuo also thought that his conversation with Chongzhen had worked, and he would not still blindly blame his courtiers for misleading him, but he still left the sentence "All the ministers are mistaken", which will be used as a laughing stock for the ages.It seems that history cannot be changed by just one or two prophets.Wang Shuo couldn't help but sigh secretly.Throughout Chongzhen's life, he was tyrannical and obedient, and he can be summed up in three words for loyal ministers: kill and kill Yuan Chonghuan, kill Wang Qia second, and kill Chen Xinjia third.Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting's fall also have a lot to do with him.As for the eunuchs, it can also be summed up in three words: Xinxin, Xinyi, Xin, Gao, and Qian, will only rely on cutting off people's heads to make meritorious contributions, lose Liaodong, and kill Lu Xiangsheng.Erxin Du Xun, who voted for Li Zicheng without a single bullet, also acted as a messenger of Dashun to negotiate peace.Sanxin Wang Dehua, opened the door to welcome Li Zicheng, entered the city to take the lead in searching for Chongzhen everywhere, beating and scolding the ministers.Later scholars commented on Emperor Chongzhen: If God wants him to perish, he must first make him crazy.Although it is biased, Chongzhen is indeed a little excessive.Fortunately, under the persuasion of Niu Jinxing this time, Li Zicheng did not make any more mistakes, collected the body for Chongzhen, set up a spiritual shed outside the Donghua Gate, and asked the monk to overtake Chongzhen.He also hoped that Chongzhen would return to his position as soon as possible, and not stay here haunting him.He took advantage of the fact that there were few things to do in the past few days, and enjoyed two days with the newly crowned queen in his arms.The ministers dispersed every day, and they all left the Forbidden City from the Donghua Gate.On this day, Li Yan and Song Xiance came out together, and Wang Shuo was already waiting outside the moat.Li Yan deliberately asked Wang Shuo to pick him up every day, and asked Song Xiance to go with him, so that the two of them would have more opportunities to get acquainted with each other and lay a good foundation for Song Xiance in the future.Not long after the Dashun army occupied the Beijing division, Song Xiance was still able to rely on the orders of the Dashun Emperor to restrain the troops outside the city and prevent them from entering the city.Within two days, the generals outside the city quit and went to find Li Zicheng.They also contributed to the fight against Beijing, why didn't they let them into the city, Li Ziwei himself was not a person of principle, and he fought with the Ming army from time to time to rely on fake surrender to get a respite, and he would not be principled at this time.If you want to enter the city, go into the city, don't make trouble.These are all a group of ancestors who started by messing with people, can they not cause trouble, and the result is that Song Xiance can no longer stop these soldiers, and robberies and murders in the city happen every day.Song Xiance had no choice but to go to Li Zicheng again and argue with reason.In the end, Song Xiance still gave in, and the soldiers could enter the city, but they were not allowed to bring weapons, and Li Zicheng was allowed.Song Xiance was too bookish and angry, in that era of cold weapons, soldiers wanted to kill people, and they still needed to bring weapons, which is not a joke:
