Chapter 247
Last year, Gao Mingheng made great contributions to guarding Linqing, and was reappointed as the governor of Shandong, presiding over the affairs of suppressing bandits in Shandong and resisting the eastward advance of Henan bandits.

Chongzhen burst into tears when he heard the servant's words, "My Daming still has loyal ministers!"

The courtiers in Beijing had a bad relationship with Chongzhen, which made Chongzhen doubt himself. At this time, someone wanted to save him, which was undoubtedly a great comfort to Chongzhen.

"Your Majesty, the queen has hanged herself!" A court lady suddenly ran out again, crying and falling to the ground.

Chongzhen swayed and got up hastily, "Quick, save me."

There was a panic in the Kunning Palace, and the maids and eunuchs were in a mess.

At this time, an eighth-rank green-robed official bowed down in front of Chongzhen with some excitement, "Your Majesty, my little minister Wang Yan, under the order of Gao Futai, risked his life to enter the capital, please take the community as the public, and immediately patrol the south. Taiwan will raise troops to respond."

The person who came was Wang Yan, a Juren from Huguang. He was trapped in Linqing and missed the 16-year imperial examination in Chongzhen, so he simply stayed under Gao Mingheng's command and won an eighth-rank governor.

After Li Zicheng occupied Guanzhong, the area controlled by the Ming Dynasty was still very large.

There are also three provinces in the north, Shanxi, Beizhi, and Shandong. Among them, Shanxi's geographical environment is relatively closed, less affected by the war, and it still has some strength.

In addition, there are nearly [-] frontier and garrison troops along the Great Wall, and they are not without the strength to fight.

Many local officials who were not in Beijing thought that the fight would continue for a while, but they didn't want the situation to deteriorate at a speed far beyond everyone's imagination.

No one expected that the Qing army invaded the bandits six times, but failed to overthrow the Ming Dynasty, but it took less than two months for the bandits to occupy the Three Jins, and the soldiers and horses had already reached Beijing.

What can be done in one or two months, I am afraid that the food and grass are not ready, let alone the King of Bingqin.

When Gao Mingheng saw the army of intruders on the South Road and hit the Daming Mansion, he suddenly realized that the intruders were about to cut off the road to the south of Beijing, and the matter of moving the capital in Beijing still had no results, so he became anxious.

In Shandong, he saw that the Ming court was about to be overthrown by the invading army, so he sent Wang Yan to the north to ask Chongzhen to make a quick decision, while he mobilized troops to prepare for King Qin to take Chongzhen to the south.

After hearing Wang Yan's words, Chongzhen's eyes lit up, "How many soldiers and horses did Gaofutai bring, and where are they going to meet them?"

Wang Yan was a little excited when he met the king for the first time, "Your Majesty, Futai has led 3000 troops from Linqing Prefecture to the north, and now they should have arrived at Jinghai in the south of Tianjin Wei."

When Chongzhen heard that there were only 3000 troops, his eyes immediately dimmed.

If it was a few days earlier, he might still be able to leave, but now that the Chuangjun has broken through the outer city, entered the inner city and entered the palace, it is only in these two days that there are so many pairs of eyes on him in the city, He couldn't get out of town at all.

Besides, Baoding had already been captured by Liu Fangliang, and Li Jiantai, a bachelor, was captured by the Chuang army. How could he be brought to Nanjing from the pursuit and interception of hundreds of thousands of Chuang troops just by virtue of his high reputation?

That's too late.I can't go.

Chongzhen's expression darkened for a while. He would rather die in Beijing and die for the country than to be caught by intruders on the way to escape and become the laughing stock of the world.

Thinking of Chongzhen's expression becoming resolute here, he looked at Wang Yan and said, "The army of thieves is gathering, how many pairs of eyes are staring at me inside and outside the city, do you think I can escape?"

"Your Majesty, there is still half of the south of the Yangtze River, and there is no war, taxation is abundant, and the population is large. It is necessary for His Majesty to come and clean up the mountains and rivers." Sensing Chongzhen's thoughts, Wang Yan couldn't help but said anxiously: "Daming is a system of two capitals. Your Majesty will come After Nanjing, the imperial court can be rebuilt immediately, and as His Majesty, he will surely be able to quickly calm people's hearts. It is no problem for Ming to defend the southeast. At this time, His Majesty temporarily abandons the burden of the north and throws it to the intruders, who will compete with the eastern captives outside the pass. Your Majesty is in Nanjing, working hard to rule the country, training troops and raising strength, but with the financial and human resources in the southeast, I think that within ten years, Your Majesty will be able to carry out the Sixth Division to the Northern Expedition like Emperor Taizu to wipe out the bandits and barbarians!"

"Your Majesty, I think that even if it is an adventure, His Majesty should try to go south. Besides, I will try my best to protect Your Majesty and protect His Majesty from the siege."

Chongzhen looked at Wang Yan's 20-year-old face, and couldn't help sighing in his heart, only a young man with no experience in the world dared to say such words recklessly.

To actually propose to abandon the north, which minister in Beijing dares to say, I am afraid that he will be labeled a traitor immediately.

Chongzhen was deeply moved, he never thought that a petty official of the eighth grade would say such words.

The scene described by Wang Yan moved Chongzhen and made him yearn for it.

If half a month ago, someone in the cabinet raised it, maybe he has already gone south.

At this time, there were bursts of cannons outside the palace city, and it was estimated that the intruders had begun to attack the city again, Chongzhen shook his head, "Once I leave, the intruders will be searched throughout the city, intercepted and killed along the way, and no one will be able to leave by then. I can die, but the Ming Dynasty cannot die. I will stay in Beijing and let Jin Yiwei guard you, as well as the prince, queen, and my children to Nanjing."

"Your Majesty~" Wang Yan felt anxious when he heard this, "When the world is in turmoil, the country depends on the king~"

At this time, a guard covered in blood ran in in panic, knelt on the ground, and cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, Zhang Jinyan opened the city gate, and the intruders broke into the inner city. Die, Brother Jin Yiwei, I can't stand it any longer."

Chongzhen's body trembled when he heard this, but he stopped being in a hurry at this time, but suddenly said: "Go, bring the prince, Yongwang, Dingwang and Kunxing all over."

Bandit soldiers have already breached the inner city, and the imperial city will soon fall. It is rare for Chongzhen to be decisive.

Soon, Prince Zhu Cihong, Prince Ding Zhu Cijiong, Prince Yong Zhu Cizhen, the fifth son of the emperor Zhu Cihuan, Princess Kunxing Zhu Yuxi and others were called over and stood in the hall weeping.

Chongzhen looked at his sons and daughters, feeling sad in his heart. He had already devoted himself to martyrdom, but he hoped that his sons and daughters could live on.

He originally had no hope in his heart, but now that Gao Mingheng sent someone to pick him up, he secretly hoped that his children would escape and flee to the south to become the throne.

In this way, he also has an explanation to his ancestors, and Daming can continue.

For the prince, Chongzhen felt ashamed. The ministers proposed more than once to send the prince to Nanjing, but he did not allow it.

At this time, Chongzhen called the prince Zhu Cihong to his side, looked at him lovingly, and said with a choked voice: "I didn't send you to Nanjing as soon as possible, and put you in danger with me. Now the governor of Shandong Gao sent troops to welcome you to the south If my son can go to Nanjing to ascend to the throne, he should remember to train his own team, and don't believe in one school's words. Jinyiwei is my son's eyes and ears, and it must not be abolished. I have been in power for seventeen years, and I have not trained you as a minister. People who can be relied on, civil servants can listen to the words of Governor Gao, military generals can rely on Huang Degong, as for Zuo Liangyu's generation, they can't be trusted. My son must remember."

After explaining a few words to the prince, Chongzhen realized that he really didn't do his duty, and he didn't even cultivate a minister who asked him to be lonely.

Speaking of Chongzhen's sobs that could not be heard, the prince and others also burst into tears, and the eunuchs and guards on the left and right all covered their faces and wept.

At this time, Wang Chengen had already brought a lot of coarse clothes for everyone to change into.Zhou Hou, who was rescued from the side, didn't move, obviously not going to leave.

Seeing this, Wang Yan knew that Chongzhen could not be persuaded to go south, so he said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, if a thief breaks through the city, the prince must be searched. I think someone else will pretend to be the prince and the princes to confuse the thief."

A subjugated prince who falls into the hands of the enemy, how can he end well? At this moment, where can he find someone?
Jinyiwei Qianhu Gao Wencai, who had just come in to report, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, this subject is about the same age as the crown prince, so he can die for the country on behalf of the crown prince!"

See you loyal ministers in times of crisis!Chongzhen couldn't help crying when he heard the words.
