Ming politicians

Overnight, the outer city and the inner city were occupied by the Jiangning camp, and the only place that Zhu Youjian could control was the imperial city. This was because Su Tiancheng forbade anyone to harass the imperial palace.

Seeing Wang Chengen, Qin Sande and others with ashamed faces, just after listening to the report, Zhu Youjian didn't know where the courage came from, and walked towards the main hall briskly, which was the place of the morning court, and he hadn't been there for a long time. There was no one in the main hall, Zhu Youjian even picked up the drum hammer himself, and beat the big drum. This was to ask the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to go to court, but unfortunately there was only the sound of empty drums, and the eunuchs gathered outside the main hall With some court ladies, there is no minister of civil and military affairs in sight.

The sound of this drum meant that the Ming court was completely destroyed.

In just a few years, the Ming Dynasty did not fall under the riots of the rogues or the looting of the Houjin Tartars, but fell into the hands of Su Tiancheng who was cultivated by the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youjian's face turned red and white, and he couldn't help laughing wildly.

"My country is lost just like this, I am sorry for my ancestors..."

The wailing sound echoed in the hall. The eunuchs and maids had never heard such a miserable cry. They all felt scared and didn't know what would happen next.

There are not many Jin Yiwei guarding the palace. With these Jin Yiwei and eunuchs, it is impossible to defend the imperial city. The fall of the palace can enter the countdown.

Zhu Youjian sat on the top of the Golden Luan Hall. He didn't want to go to the city wall of the palace. He knew very well that the soldiers of the Jiangning Camp must have taken over the outside. He would never have the chance to sit on the throne of the emperor again.

Suddenly, Zhu Youjian with a blue face stood up.He casually picked up the sword on the pillar next to him, and hurriedly walked towards the harem. Wang Chengen, who was beside him, turned pale. He knew exactly what the emperor was going to do, and hurriedly followed.

Entered Qianning Palace.Empress Zhou's face was very serene, she was sitting on a chair in her best dress, waiting for the emperor.

After seeing the emperor coming in with a sword, Queen Zhou stood up and saluted the emperor.

"The concubine is waiting for the emperor. The concubine has no other request, but begs the emperor to let the prince, king Ding and king Yong escape earlier. They are all young..."

Queen Zhou did not mention her two daughters, Princess Changping and Princess Zhaoren, nor did she mention other concubines.It seems that they are thinking that these concubines, Princess Taiping and Princess Zhaoren will all be buried with them.

Zhu Youjian's body was shaking, and the hand holding the sword was shaking violently, and he spoke with tears.

"Queen, why did you marry me in the first place? If you were in an ordinary family, you wouldn't have such an ending..."

Wang Chengen's face turned pale, he thought about going forward to beg for mercy, begging the emperor not to do this.But he didn't dare to go forward, lest the emperor and empress be in front of him.How dare a slave like him do such a disobedient thing.

Seeing that the tragedy is about to happen, at such a time, no one can stop the emperor's decision.

An eunuch rushed into Qianning Palace, saw the scene in front of him, and fell to his knees in fright.

"The servant girl reported to the emperor, empress empress. That Su Tiancheng asked to see, said, said that he wanted to see the emperor, and said, and said..."

With a livid face, Zhu Youjian turned around and looked at the eunuch.spoke sharply.

"Slave dog, why are you hesitating, what else did Su Tiancheng say?"

"I also asked the emperor not to do things that he would regret for life, but to be more open-minded. He said that no one in the palace would be harmed. This, this is what Su Tiancheng said, not the servant girl. Your majesty forgive me." sin..."

The eunuch kowtowed non-stop. At this time, if the emperor was angry, he would raise his sword and cut his throat with a single stroke, which would be a breeze.

Zhu Youjian froze for a moment, remained silent for a while, and then spoke with a sad face.

"What evil did I do, this Su Tiancheng, do you know what I want to do..."

Seeing that the emperor's attitude eased a little, Wang Chengen on the side knew that the opportunity had come, and immediately knelt down and spoke.

"Your Majesty, Empress, I don't know if I should say something or not, if I have a few words from my servant."

Zhu Youjian didn't speak, but Queen Zhou on one side spoke.

"Just say anything."

"The servant thinks that the emperor doesn't have to do this, and Su Tiancheng is a role model in the imperial examination. Although he rebelled, the servant thinks that Su Tiancheng will never do anything to the emperor and the empress, let alone anyone in the palace. The servant begs the emperor not to So, this is the heartfelt words of this servant girl, the emperor forgives the sin, the queen empress forgives the sin..."

Wang Chengen also started to kowtow.

Of course Zhu Youjian understood what Wang Chengen meant. After so many years, he was very clear about Wang Chengen's loyalty. From the actual situation, what Wang Chengen said was also the truth.

After a long time, Zhu Youjian finally moved.

The sword fell to the ground with a clang. He knew that Su Tiancheng would never insult the royal family. At least one thing is, Zhu Shenxin is Su Tiancheng's queen, and Zhu Zhushenxuan is the Minister of the Jin Dynasty and the chief assistant of the cabinet. Both of them are descendants of the Zhu family. From this perspective, Su Tiancheng will never touch the Zhu family.

"That's all, I'm going to pay my respects to Su Tiancheng, the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty..."

The atmosphere in the palace was not as bleak as expected. Su Tiancheng's timely words stabilized the hearts of most people, but many eunuchs understood that from now on, the good times will be far away from them. I heard that Su Tiancheng was not very interested in eunuchs. He was afraid that the days when Dongchang ran rampant in the imperial court would not continue to exist.

There are still a lot of people in the palace. When the emperor first came to the throne, because the court was short of money, he once cleaned up the maids in the palace. In addition, the emperor is not good at women, and there are not many concubines in the harem, but the situation in the court gradually improved. After that, the situation changed again, and the number of eunuchs and maids in the palace gradually increased.

These eunuchs and palace maids had no particular malice towards Su Tiancheng. After all, the change of dynasty was not something they could decide on, and they could only endure it silently. Every change of dynasty would mean a bloodbath, even in the palace. But this time the situation is different, at least there is no reaction in the capital. After the Jiangning camp entered the capital, the situation is very calm, and this calm also makes the palace extremely quiet.

This kind of comparison has even been done in private. There was once a eunuch who analyzed Su Tiancheng, and thought that Su Tiancheng was more than a hundred times stronger than the later Jin Tartars. Seeing that Su Tiancheng must respect the royal family, he would not take extreme measures, he would just take measures, targeting the emperor, and would not vent his anger on other people. The Liaodong frontier army, the civil and military ministers firmly disagreed. They believed that if the Liaodong was lost and the Jin Tartars attacked the capital, the situation they faced would be completely different. Dorgon's brutal behavior in the Changping area fully explained up to this point.

The news that Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying had entered the capital early in the morning spread in the palace. Many eunuchs and maids, regardless of the rules in the palace, gathered before they came to the main hall. They wanted to see what was going on. Well, this is actually because they were worried about themselves. After Su Tiancheng's promise was spread to the palace, the eunuchs and maids gathered outside the hall quickly dispersed. At this time, they needed to go back to their respective positions.

Zhu Youjian stumbled towards the direction of the main hall, his mind was in a mess.

In fact, he already knew about Su Tiancheng's promise. Su Tiancheng once said that he would never hurt members of the royal family. It is estimated that Zhu Shenxuan and Zhu Shenxin were meant in it. For the emperor, it was a huge insult, which once made him furious, but now, he has finally come to this point.

Zhu Youjian is more clear that the civil and military ministers of the Manchu dynasty can take refuge in the Jin court and submit to Su Tiancheng, but he has no way out. Historical experience shows that the overthrown dynasty is not good for the emperor. As a result, for the stability of the throne, Su Tiancheng would not let him go, including his queen, concubines, and children.

It has been 17 years since I ascended the throne, and the past is vivid in my memory. I have experienced many turbulent waves, and there are times when I feel comfortable.

After entering the hall, there was no one there. Zhu Youjian looked at the empty hall, and an inexplicable feeling came to his heart. He suddenly knelt down, facing the direction of the throne.

"The ancestors are above all, because of Jian's incompetence, my Great Ming Dynasty has been overthrown, and you have no face to face the ancestors..."

Wang Chengen looked at the emperor and wept. He has always followed the emperor. He is very clear about the pain the emperor suffered. The emperor's childhood was not happy. It is possible that those who ascended the throne did not go there after being entrusted with the fiefdom. Thanks to the favor of the previous emperor, if they really went to the fiefdom, they do not know what will happen afterwards. Woke up, the rogues were completely wiped out, and the Hou Jin Tartars also expressed their surrender. Under such circumstances, the emperor could have done a lot, but unfortunately, the conflict between the emperor and Su Tiancheng broke out. This time the conflict broke out. Intense, but within a few years, such consequences had occurred, leading to the collapse of the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Chengen's heart was extremely bitter. He also didn't know what his future would be like. He had always followed the emperor. What will happen after that, he doesn't know, thinking that it is impossible to continue to have prominent power, whether he can save his life, or something unclear, who knows if Su Tiancheng will deliberately find fault and kill him? The eunuch is here to stand up. (to be continued..)
