Volume Seven Unified Mountains and Rivers Chapter 2060 Under the Coal Mountain

Yao Minggong blushed. When he was alive and died, Yao Minggong didn't want to hide it anymore. Chongzhen was already crazy now. He didn't leave and stayed in the capital or was a prisoner of Li Zicheng, or he could only choose to die for his country. Yao Minggong is a wise man. Chongzhen has been in power for so many years, and his political achievements are the best. However, on the surface, Chongzhen seemed to be very diligent, working until late at night every day, and the morning court was not lost. If we only look at Chongzhen personally, it can be considered as

He is a good emperor, not only diligent in handling government affairs, but also has good personal living habits. At least he can make an emperor take the lead in frugality, which is rare in the thousands of years of history of China. But these are limited to Chongzhen, that is, if Chongzhen is evaluated as an individual, Chongzhen is qualified and has more moral character. However, as the lord of the world and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen is far from being qualified. Not to mention anything else, Yao Minggong thinks that Chongzhen has two fatal weaknesses.

The first is that he is paranoid. To put it bluntly, he thinks that someone is not good and is not a loyal minister. Then no matter how great the person makes, he can only give zero points in Chongzhen. This has caused many civil servants and generals to be upset. They are obviously making contributions to the country, but in the end they are demoted and dismissed and beheaded by the Meridian Gate. This has caused unstable factors within the Ming Dynasty's team. Everyone cannot concentrate on serving the court, and how big can this team be expected to achieve? The second is that they like to interfere in frontline affairs. Chongzhen is not clear about the situation on the frontline and cannot understand it in time. Due to the timeline of the message transmission at that time, when the frontline message was transmitted to Chongzhen, maybe there was a side

Some changes have occurred, but Chongzhen cannot fully trust the front-line generals and always thinks about interfering in their decisions, which leads to him always carving a boat and seeking swords, and cannot change with the changes in the development of affairs. If Yao Minggong knew that there was a person nicknamed the transport team leader hundreds of years later and likes micro-jobs, he would understand that there are really such people in the world, who always feel that he is wise and martial, interfering in the arrangement of the front-line generals, and eventually lead to the failure of the front-line. For example, Sun Chuanting is like this. It is not that no one in the court advises the emperor to be patient and wait, and give Sun Chuanting more time, but Chongzhen just can't wait and insists on urging Sun Chuanting to advance, which eventually led to the demise of the last mobile force of the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Yao Minggong said: "Your Majesty, even as a father, can you really watch your son fall into danger? Your Majesty, you and the ministers all know the principle of killing the roots. Who is Li Zicheng? If the prince falls into his hands, can he still have a way out? Even if he doesn't kill the prince now, he will find any reason in the future, or poison or send assassins. In short, if the prince falls into his hands, it will be the one who takes the knife and I will be the meat of fish, and I will slaughter whenever I want. As the prince

Teacher, I cannot agree. Even if I fight to die, I will escort the prince out!" Chongzhen said angrily: "Yao Minggong, you are no longer the prince's teacher. I will have dismissed you long ago!" Yao Minggong stammered his neck and said: "One day, I will be a teacher for life. Even if I am a ruthless person today, I dare to compare myself to the prince's father. I cannot watch the prince die! Even if Your Majesty does not leave, I must consider the Ming Dynasty. Without the prince, will the Ming Dynasty really fall into a state of headlessness? If Your Majesty does not leave, do you want the foundation of your ancestors?"

Yao Minggong's words were deafening, as if lightning exploded in Chongzhen's ears. It was time for this. Yao Minggong actually dared to contradict himself in person. In any case, Chongzhen would not allow the royal family to be humiliated. Since Li Zicheng had entered the city, the Forbidden City would sooner or later fall into the position. The royal family could not fall into Chongzhen's hands no matter what. Yao Minggong seemed to remind him. Chongzhen stood up suddenly, picked up his Shangfang sword, went straight to the harem, and left Yao Minggong and others on the spot. Yao Minggong was shocked. What the emperor was going to do. The two were quarreling halfway, and the emperor suddenly left with a sword. It would be fine if he cut him on his body with one sword. But looking at the direction of the emperor's actions, he was clearly heading for the harem. Could it be? Yao Minggong

He hurriedly greeted Li Banghua and others, "No, Your Majesty is not good for the harem!" Yao Minggong was the one who remained awake at the last moment. The queen and others were in Kunning Palace and Cining Palace. It is estimated that the princesses were also with the queen. Although the prince was in Zhongcui Palace, Yao Minggong knew that Zhu Cilang was a filial child. He probably also accompanied his mother in the harem at this time. Now he was carrying a sword to the harem. Is it going to be bad for them? Yao Minggong was willing to go today. Even if he died, he would have to protect the prince Zhouquan. No matter who this person was not good for the throne, even Emperor Chongzhen would not do it. He hurriedly chased Chongzhen, Wang Chengen and others, and shouted to Wang Chengen behind, "Eunuch Wang! Stop Your Majesty! Stop Your Majesty!"

Chongzhen's pace is fast at this moment, and he can't care about Yao Minggong's shouting behind him. Wang Chengen was the most loyal and caring slave of Chongzhen. Although he also faintly noticed what Chongzhen was going to do, until the last moment, Chongzhen was still the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He could not hold the emperor with the little yellow sects. Wang Chengen was also prepared. If things were not done, he would die with Chongzhen, which would be considered as a complete success for Wang Chengen's reputation. Chongzhen's eyes were red, and he could already hear the shouts of killing in the city. Indeed, the Dashun army had already penetrated into the city. There was not much resistance in the city. Most officers also knew that the situation was hopeless. Now resistance was meaningless except for death. The whole city's army gradually put down its weapons, and some people even joined the Dashun army directly. In the battlefield, there were a large number of refugees in the city.

They were excited and welcomed the Dashun army into the city. In their opinion, since they entered the capital, they had come for refuge, but the result was a tragedy. There were no fewer people who died of starvation in the capital every day than outside. Many people had no bones. In order to avoid the plague, the dead bodies would be taken away immediately. They didn't know where to throw them. The family couldn't find a place to worship. In this way, the capital was also a purgatory, and there was no essential difference from outside. In this case, the Ming Dynasty seemed to be helpless. The refugees placed their hopes on the Dashun army. Perhaps as many times have happened in history, the old dynasty and the new dynasty have begun, there will be a new atmosphere. The people have suffered from the court for a long time. Although the court has always called Li Zicheng a thief, since they can enter the capital, it means they are still capable.

"Long live the King of Breaking! Long live the King of Breaking!" The hundreds of thousands of refugees in the city couldn't figure out what Emperor Dashun. Anyway, they knew the title of Li Zicheng's King of Breaking. So as soon as the Dashun Army entered the city, the refugees would join the ordinary people in the capital who did not know the truth or wanted to save their lives. They welcomed the Dashun Army with their shoulder poles and kitchen knives. They followed the Dashun Army in groups. They followed wherever the Dashun Army's flag went. There were also many more courageous refugees who directly acted as guides for the Dashun Army. They had been in the capital for so long that they slept on the streets every day, and many people had already put the capital in the capital.

The geographical environment was clear, and they directly led the way for the Dashun Army. Where was the yamen and the military camp, they were all explained clearly by these refugees. After the Dashun Army entered the city, it was surprisingly smooth, with welcome people and soldiers who put down their weapons everywhere. Many generals even had an unreal feeling. This was the capital of the Ming Dynasty? This was the heart of the Ming Empire? I thought that attacking the capital would be a protracted and bitter battle, but I never expected it to be so easy. In just a few days, the capital was taken down. It can be seen that the prestige of the emperor had reached a point. The officers and soldiers surrendered, and the people were eating pots of slurry.

Chongzhen walked in the palace with his sword. Looking around, he saw all the palace maids and guards fleeing everywhere. In the palace, except for more than 2,000 soldiers of Shenji Camp, who were guarding the palace city walls and fighting with the Dashun army who launched an attack on the streets, the remaining people had already scattered like birds and beasts. The great generals and the Jinyi soldiers were either holding vases or holding calligraphy and paintings. Anyway, they were all things that came out of the palace. They were panicked and wanted to find a place to sneak out of the palace. With these treasures they passed by, they could also be rich men. At the end of the road.

Everyone thinks about protecting themselves, who cares about the safety of the emperor? A blind Han general ran past Chongzhen with a few porcelains in his arms. Because he was too nervous, he didn't even notice that the emperor himself was in front of him. "Stop it!" Chongzhen shouted angrily, and the man was stunned. When he looked up, he found that it was Chongzhen. He was so scared that his legs were weak. He knelt down with a plop. The porcelain in his hand also fell to the ground and smashed to pieces. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I, Your Majesty, please spare me, please spare me." The guard kowtowed desperately incoherently.
