"Woooooooo..."

In Kunning Palace, Emperor Chongzhen's heartbroken wails could be heard. Emperor Chongzhen had woken up long ago. When he fell down the steps of Huangji Gate, he didn't fall hard, but his head hit the white marble steps.

After picking up a few bags, he briefly lost consciousness. He woke up when Zhu Cixi came down to check.

But Emperor Chongzhen was so smart, how could he let the prince discover that he was not fainted? If he found out, he might be killed on the spot! This is a conspiracy to usurp the throne!

So Emperor Chongzhen stood tall and pretended to be dead until he was carried into Kunning Palace.

When Chongzhen was brought in, the Queen of Zhou and Concubine Yuan were all there, as were Ding Wang Zhu Cijiong, Yong Wang Zhu Cizhao, the fifth emperor Zhu Cihuan who had not yet been crowned king, Kunxing Princess Zhu Yurao, and Zhaoren Princess Zhu Shurao who was only six years old.

exist.

Empress Zhou and Concubine Yuan Guifei have already changed into coarse cloth clothes. The three princes and two princesses have also disguised themselves and put on coarse cloth clothes. Among them, the youngest Princess Zhaoren, Zhu Shunuo, is still crying and hating the coarse cloth on her body.

The clothes don't look good, so I need to change into colorful clothes.

Seeing Chongzhen being carried in by the eunuchs, Concubine Yuan Guifei and several children were frightened after a week, and they all gathered around. Chongzhen, who was squinting his eyes and pretending to be dead, saw the costumes of these people in the family through the slits in his eyes. At that time, he

Enlivened.

His wife and children are clearly ready to run away at any time!

Who told them to do this? He, the emperor, had never made any intention to run away! Needless to say, it must be Zhu Cixiang, the rebellious son who plotted to usurp the throne.

Well, now not only the treacherous ministers of the foreign dynasties listen to Zhu Cihong, but even the wives and children of Emperor Chongzhen's family also listen to Zhu Cihong.

Emperor Chongzhen has become a loner!

Emperor Chongzhen was so sad! He was not in the mood to educate his wife and children at home, so he just cried and cried.

His emperor seemed to have come to an end. Not only could the country not be governed, but his family would not listen to him, so what was the point? It made me sad just thinking about it, so I cried like hell.

Queen Zhou and Concubine Yuan Guifei saw that Chongzhen suddenly "pretended to be dead" and then burst into tears. They thought he was crazy or something, so they quickly grabbed Wang Chengen, who was escorting Chongzhen back, and asked.

"Two ladies, it's not good, Mr. Qiantose, he, he..."

"What's wrong with Cixi?" Queen Zhou was frightened by the crying Wang Chengen. She thought she had been beaten while supervising the battle on the city wall, so she asked quickly.

Before Wang Chengen could answer, Emperor Chongzhen yelled, "Rebellion! That treacherous son has rebelled... How could I give birth to such an unscrupulous son..."

"What? What...Cixun has rebelled against him?" When Hou Zhou heard this, his face turned pale. He looked at Emperor Chongzhen and asked, "Then, has he been...crippled by His Majesty?"

"

"What a waste!" Chongzhen stamped his feet, "Every courtier should die! Everyone in the capital is a traitor! They have all rebelled..."

Fortunately... Zhou Hou breathed a sigh of relief. Since everyone has rebelled, it means Zhu Cixiang succeeded in usurping the throne. Then it will be fine, everyone will survive.

Concubine Yuan Guifei also relaxed, and then asked timidly: "Could it be that your majesty's throne has been passed on to the prince?"

She is as afraid of death as Queen Zhou...

"Not yet!" Chongzhen gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "There are still loyal ministers and righteous men in the world. How can we watch such traitors commit usurpation?"

Empress Zhou muttered in a low voice: "If there are really so many loyal ministers and righteous men, why don't they understand the siege to save the capital?"

"you……"

Emperor Chongzhen is so angry! He is not only angry with his wife, but also with the loyal ministers and righteous men in the world. I was almost beaten to death by the traitors, why don't you come to King Qin?

Just when he was angry, a young eunuch ran in in a panic and said something to Wang Chengen. Then Wang Chengen shouted: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has come to Kunning Palace..."

"What?" Emperor Chongzhen even forgot to be angry and only focused on being scared. "Did you bring soldiers?"

"Bring it, bring it, bring the East Palace guards!"

Of course Zhu Cixiang would not have come alone, otherwise Wang Chengen could have captured him by commanding the eunuchs. So he brought his guards with him, and he did not even take off his armor, and also brought a sword. If there was an ambush in Kunning Palace, it would be

What a bloody battle!

"I, I..." Emperor Chongzhen gritted his teeth, "We can't let this traitor know that I'm awake!"

After saying that, he went straight to the queen's bedroom, then lay straight on the bed and pretended to be dead.

Zhu Cixi actually heard Emperor Chongzhen's roar outside the gate of Kunning Palace. After entering, he didn't see Chongzhen. He only saw Empress Zhou, Concubine Yuan and several younger siblings who had changed into common people's clothes.

Zhu Cixi first bowed to the Queen of Zhou and Concubine Yuan, and then asked: "Where is your father?"

"Father, you are so angry that you are still unconscious!" The speaker was a girl in the second or eighth grade. She was wearing coarse clothes, but her beauty and nobility could not be concealed. She was glaring with beautiful eyes.

Zhu Cixiang.

This is Princess Zhu Ainao of Kunxing. Zhu Cixiang remembered it, then looked at the beautiful girl's arm and asked: "Imperial sister, are your arms okay?"

"My arm?" Zhu Yurao shook her arms in confusion, "What can happen?"

Your father will kill you! Zhu Cihong thought to himself: Without me as a brother, you would be the master of the Nine Difficulties now. How pitiful!

"As long as you're fine!" Zhu Cixiang smiled, then said to himself, found a chair and sat down, "You guys can sit down too... We are all a family, there is no need to be restrained."

Is this what you should say? Queen Zhou frowned, but she didn't care about her son. She waved her hand and asked everyone to find a place to sit down.

"Queen mother, is father okay?" Zhu Cixiang asked.

"It's okay." Queen Zhou sighed, "How could this happen?"

Zhu Cixi smiled bitterly: "Otherwise, it would be almost impossible to leave. My father wants to personally go to fight Li Zicheng. Is this possible? If my son doesn't remonstrate with me... our family will be wiped out!"

He paused and lowered his voice: "Queen Yi'an, how are Ning and Grandpa doing? Are you ready?"

"Everything is ready. Madam Zhang and Ning are together, and they have changed into common people's clothes." Zhou Hou said, "It's just that your grandpa has too much money and doesn't have enough cars, so he wants to borrow some from you."

"No!" Zhu Cixi's answer was just two words. He paused and said angrily: "I have to leave on the 21st! If he wants to follow, he can stay. If he can't bear the money, he can stay!"

"Leaving on the 21st?"

"So urgent?"

Both Zhou Hou and Yuan Guifei were shocked.

"Of course." Zhu Cihong said, "Since we have to leave, the sooner the better... there is no delay. Today is the 19th, and there will be a little more than one day until the 21st. Those who are willing to leave should pack up.

"

The faster you escape, the better! This is also Zhu Cixi’s experience in the financial circle in his later generations! Remember to hesitate and wait when you cut off your positions! Now Beijing is a trap of the century, and you must decisively cut out your positions, otherwise you will die.

Zhou Hou asked: "Where to go?"

Zhu Cixiang said: "We will go in two directions, one to Tongzhou and the other to Shunyi. Take the road to Tongzhou and go south to Tianjinwei, and take the Shunyi road to Yongping to meet Wu Sangui."

"How to divide it?" Zhou Hou asked.

Zhu Cixiang said: "I, my father, the emperor, my mother, Empress Zhang and Ning, and the two imperial sisters are all together. Concubine Yuan, the third brother, the fourth brother, and the fifth brother are all together."

Empress Zhou glanced at Ding Wang Zhu Cijiong. He was three years younger than Zhu Cixiang. He was only thirteen this year. He had a handsome face and a kind of stability beyond his years. When he heard that he was going to separate from his father and mother, he did not

How much panic he showed.

"Cixun, your third brother wants to separate from us?" Zhou Hou looked reluctant to leave.

Zhu Cixiang smiled and said: "Just in case... The third brother is the legitimate son. If anything happens to me and my father, he can bear the consequences tomorrow. So he can't come with us and run away. But the queen mother can rest assured,

The third brother, the fourth brother, and the fifth brother will be protected by the Jing army and the elites of the Beijing camp, and they will go against Wu Sangui's soldiers."

He turned to Wang Chengen and said: "Wang Banban, please come with King Ding... I will arrange for Zu Zepu to lead a group of cavalry. If anything happens, you and Zu Zepu will escort me together."

My three younger brothers and Concubine Yuan will leave first!"

"I understand," Wang Chengen said, patting his chest. "I risk my life to protect the three princes and the noble concubine!"
