How did you, a prisoner on death row, become an important weapon of the country? Yecheng Gao Weiming

And just half an hour before the inner city fell.

Deep in the palace, the winter sky is still gloomy.

The nights are long and it seems like the sun will never rise.

"Hiss...where is Wang Daban and what time is it!"

In the Qianqing Palace, the entire hall was filled with the pungent smell of alcohol.

Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian rubbed his head and woke up, looking at the empty hall in a daze.

Damn!

Why isn't it dawn yet?

Do not!

Damn it, why am I still alive?

Last night at Haishi, when Zhu Youjian discovered that the intruders had begun to besiege the inner city, he returned to his palace and got drunk.

He thought it would be better to just get drunk and die, and be hacked to death by the intruders in his sleep, than to watch the country being destroyed and people being destroyed.

But who would have thought that when he woke up, he would still be alive.

This made Zhu Youjian, who was only 33 years old, even more painful.

Could it be that God is really so cruel, does he really want me to watch the swords and swords of Chuangjun come to me?

Listening to the faint shouts of killing and the sound of gunfire coming from outside the palace.

Zhu Youjian's head hurt more and more.

"Long live the Lord..."

A miserable voice sounded nearby.

It turned out that the loyal eunuch Wang Chengen was speaking.

Seventeen years later, Wang Chengen is already old. He is over sixty years old and has a head full of white hair.

He has not left since last night and has been waiting by the emperor's side.

At this moment, he walked up to Zhu Youjian with a crying face, flopped and knelt down.

"Sir! It's past Yin hour now, and the intruders outside are attacking the inner city! The inner city is in danger, please run away quickly."

"I swear to death that I will escort Long Live Master and leave the capital safely..."

Wang Chengen cried and fell on the ground, kowtow to persuade.

"Haha! Is it Yin Shi yet? It's already Yin Shi..."

Zhu Youjian turned a deaf ear to the old eunuch's words to persuade him to escape, but he cared about this moment.

"It's time to go to court!"

"Cheng'en, come on, go get some water and help me wash up. Let's go to the Emperor's Palace to pay homage!"

With that said, Zhu Youjian got up from the soft couch. Just as he was about to stand up, he felt dizzy.

Apparently he drank too much last night and hasn't recovered yet.

"Your Majesty..."

Wang Chengen cried again when he saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward to support the emperor.

"Why go to court? Escape, Your Majesty! Now that all the officials in the city are taking refuge at home, who can come to court to discuss matters?"

"Your Majesty, please, please run away quickly, okay?"

"escape?"

Zhu Youjian sneered, pushed Wang Chengen away irritably, and stood up.

"Hahaha, why are you running away? Cheng'en!"

"At the beginning of the year, I wanted to move south, but the officials wouldn't allow it!"

"At the beginning of the month, I wanted to move south, but no one responded!"

"Just yesterday, I wanted to make peace with the intruder, make him king, and ask the officials to raise one million silver coins to lend to me temporarily!"

"But what about them..."

"Everyone just cries about poverty, saying that there is no money left in the family. One million taels is an astronomical figure. How to raise it!"

"I'm not allowed to be crowned a king, and I'm not allowed to collect any money. Why do you want me to run away? Where can I run away?"

"Ah! Speak and tell me where to run away!!!"

Zhu Youjian's roar echoed throughout the Qianqing Palace.

Wang Chengen cried and lowered his head.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty.

You are so shameless!

Do the ministers still need to report this kind of thing?

It's okay if you don't advocate it.

As soon as you leave, you will see that the official will not drag his family with him.

Not to mention that no one among the ministers dared to propose moving south.

Let's just say yesterday, who dared to promise you to reward Li Zicheng as king.

During the seventeen years of Chongzhen's reign, you have been stubborn, suspicious and suspicious. You have killed the minister in domestic affairs and the governor in foreign affairs.

During the seventeen years, fifty chief ministers of the cabinet were changed, seventeen ministers of punishment were changed, seven governors were executed, and eleven governors were executed.

The butcher's knife rolled, how many heads were chopped off?

Everyone has figured out your temperament!

Anyone who opens his mouth to persuade people to move or advocates peace talks.

You will end up killing other people later on.

Main battle?

The main battle is no good either. The tragedies of Yuan Chonghuan, Lu Xiangsheng, and Sun Chuanting are still vivid in our minds.

Now that it's like this, who dares to mention it more?

Let’s talk about collecting money!

No one is stupid and no one can't see clearly the current situation.

Ming Dynasty has been completely rescued. Who is willing to sacrifice their family and career to raise money for you?

Wouldn't it be better to keep the money and buy the lives of the whole family for the successor?

It would be great if the 9,000-year-old Wei Zhongxian was here.

If he were still here, these damn civil servants would have to take the money even if they didn't want to. How could An be in the same embarrassment as yesterday?

Wang Chengen just cried and couldn't say a word.

Zhu Youjian became more and more irritable as he listened to the high-pitched crying in his ears.

"Okay! Okay! Wang Daban, stop crying."

"I told you, did you hear clearly?"

"Hurry up and bring some water to serve me in the morning!"

"The Ming Dynasty is still alive, so the rules of the early dynasty cannot be broken in my hands."

After saying that, seeing that Wang Chengen remained motionless, Zhu Youjian was furious and stood up persistently.

He put on an ocher yellow dragon robe and a black-winged benevolent crown, and strode out of the hall.

"Come on! Wang Cheng'en, if you don't want to go, just forget it. I will go to the morning court alone!"

After saying that, Zhu Youjian walked out of the Qianqing Palace and went straight to the Huangji Palace in front.

"His Majesty……"

Wang Chengen was stunned for a while, then he chased after him crying.

But after chasing for a while, there was no need to chase anymore.

But he saw Zhu Youjian already standing outside the main hall of Huangji Hall, on the imperial steps, alone.

The emperor, who was in his thirties, was in a daze, looking at the empty square in front of the palace.

Why, why no one showed up.

"Hehehe! Hehehe..."

"A bunch of damn things, it's clearly past Yin hour, but they don't even come to the morning court!"

"What are you doing at home? Are you waiting to see my joke? Why don't you hurry up and discuss state affairs!"

Zhu Youjian seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and was crying but not crying. He just opened his mouth to curse.

"I should let the Jin Yiwei catch you one by one in front of me and fight you in court!"

"I'll beat you until your skin and flesh are raw, and you'll cry for father and mother. Let's see if you can still laugh at my jokes?"

"Come here! Come here! Where are the Jin Yiwei and where is the commander-in-chief Luo Yangxing! Let me arrest them all and take them all to prison!!!"

Zhu Youjian shouted at the top of his lungs, and his shrill voice floated back and forth in the square.

Seeing this scene, Wang Chengen's heart almost broke.

There was obviously a serious problem with the emperor's mental state.

Did he forget?

Jinyiwei has long existed in name only.

The capital commander, Luo Yangxing, was scolded by you last month and went home to reflect, and never appeared in court again.

Now that the intruders are attacking the city, people are in panic and fear.

This was the last morning meeting of the Ming Dynasty.

Who dares to come?

"No one is! No one is. I'm calling you personally, so I'm not afraid you won't hear me!"

Zhu Youjian shouted for a while, then simply walked to the bronze bell on the side and knocked it hard.

This copper bell is originally a ritual music. It is rung at Yin hour every day to remind all officials to go to court.

Now it was hit by Zhu Youjian with a thud, and the sound echoed throughout the Forbidden City.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz…

Unfortunately, after knocking for a long time, no one came.

In the entire square in front of the palace, except for a few young eunuchs poking their heads, only Zhu Youjian and Wang Chengen were left.

And the swaying wind lamp kept shaking, seeming to laugh at Zhu Youjian's embarrassment.

emperor!

Do you see it.

This is the emperor of Ming Dynasty!

"Where are the people! Where are the people! Where have you all died? Come here!"

Zhu Youjian almost broke the bronze bell, but no one responded, and he couldn't help but cursed again.

Wang Chengen beside him wanted to persuade him, but he really didn't dare.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty had already drawn the sword from his waist and looked around.

If you step forward to dissuade me at this time, you may be hacked to death by Your Majesty!

Can……

After all, there are people who dare to persuade and step forward to stop him.

"His Majesty!"

There was a shrill call, and a figure wearing a phoenix robe and a jade crown floated past.

It was Empress Zhou of the Ming Dynasty who came.

"Zitong! Zitong...you...have you come to my morning court?"

When Zhu Youjian saw his daughter-in-law Zhou Yingying rushing over, he grinned, stepped forward, hugged her, and held her hand.

"Go! Go! Zitong!"

"I will take you into the palace to discuss matters. Although Grandpa Taizu has strictly ordered the harem not to interfere in politics, I can't care about it now."

"Let's discuss how to resist the intruders and how to resolve the crisis in the capital..."

After saying that, he will take Zhou into the palace.

But Mrs. Zhou cried, broke away from her husband, and shouted hoarsely.

"Your Majesty! Wake up!"

"You have no time! The intruder is about to enter the imperial city. Why... why don't you explain your funeral arrangements?"

"Are you really going to be captured by the intruders and follow the example of Zhu Qizhen, the Yingzong?"

boom!

Zhu Youjian's head was about to explode, and his whole body seemed to have been drained of strength in an instant. He looked at his wife in front of him absentmindedly.

Yingzong Zhu Qizhen?

Captured and humiliated?

A century-old joke!

Do not!

I will never be like him!

Zhu Youjian suddenly woke up and finally realized that he had no time.

His eyes became clear and he exhaled heavily.

"Huh... Zitong... thank you."

"I'm sorry you came to remind me, otherwise I would have become a joke that will be infamy for eternity..."

"It's time to make arrangements for the funeral!"
