Emperor Chongzhen saw his daughter staring at the mobile phone screen, so he also leaned over to take a look.

I discovered that there were words on the shiny side of the iron box!

It's just that the text is weird.

Missing arms and legs.

Although he could basically guess what the words were, he couldn't read them clearly.

At this time, I heard Zhu Yu'ao say: "Father, the books and texts of Daxia Kingdom must be read horizontally from left to right."

"oh."

Chongzhen was suddenly stunned.

He just said, how could I suddenly become illiterate?

After he understood the words above, Chongzhen frowned even more tightly.

The approximate content on the mobile phone is as follows——

"According to historical records, there were twenty-eight major ministers who died after the capital was captured by the intruders, including twenty-one civil servants and seven honorary relatives.

There were about thousands of other subjects who died for the country!

Compared with Mingjing City, which has a population of tens to millions, this number is naturally small.

But in terms of life, this number is extremely shocking and emotional.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen often said that it was wrong that there were no loyal and virtuous ministers available, but he did not know how to recognize people, let alone the ability to employ them!"

Seeing this, Chongzhen couldn't help but clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and reflected at the same time.

Having been emperor for seventeen years, even though his qualifications are dull and he has not received the inheritance of imperial power, his experience and knowledge have finally increased.

Looking back at this time, I found that he had indeed misjudged and used the wrong people many times, which led to the ruin of the country!

'If I die, I will have no face to face the ancestors of Huang Ming!'

After coming back to his senses, he continued to look down.

"Those who die for their country cannot be said to be virtuous, but at least they are loyal ministers who will not open the door to welcome thieves.

I've listed some people's names and hope you can make good use of them on this last day.

Fan Jingwen, the minister of the Ministry of Industry and the bachelor of Dongge University, is said to be the only cabinet minister who died for his country. The other cabinet ministers seem to have become obedient ministers of the invading army and even the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The remaining people include: Ni Yuanlu, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.

Li Banghua, the censor of Zuodu.

Shi Bangyao, deputy imperial envoy of Zuodu.

Ling Yiqu, the minister of Dali Temple.

Minister of the Ministry of War, Wang Jiayan, assistant in charge of military affairs in the capital.

Meng Zhaoxiang, the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

Wu Linzheng, the minister of Taichang Temple.

Shen Jiayun, the Prime Minister of Taipu Temple.

Zuoyu Dema Shiqi.

Zuo Shuzi Zhou Fengxiang.

Wu Gan came to the Ministry of Household Affairs to discuss matters.

Review Wang Wei.

Liu Lishun, the number one scholar, was compiled by Hanlin Academy.

Censor Chen Chunde, Chen Liangmo and Zhao Cui.

Xu Zhi, a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, a foreign minister, Cheng De, a doctor of the Ministry of War, Jinxuan, a foreign minister of the Ministry of War, and Yu Tengjiao, the chief minister of Guanglu Temple.

The commander of the Jinyi Guards is Wang Guoxing, the commander of the Jinyi Guards is Li Ruolian, and the thousands of Jinyi Guards have high literary talents.

It seems that your leader in Jinyiwei at this time is Luo Yangxing?

He was a standard speculator. He first joined Li Zicheng, and then joined the slave establishment, and was reused as the first Han governor of the slave establishment.

Also, I heard that Li Zicheng copied his salary and got thirty thousand taels from him.

In addition, there were Chen Zhenda, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, Yao Cheng, the deputy commander of the army, Song Tianxian, Teng Zhisuo, Ruan Wengui, Zhang Yingxuan, Mao Wei, Zhang Rushi, Zhang Shixi, etc. who died for their country.

Records of honorable relatives include Prince Consort Gong Yonggu, Bo Zhang Qingqing of Hui'an, Bo Wei Shichun of Xuancheng, Marquis of Xinle Liu Wenbing, etc."

Seeing this list, Chongzhen felt very complicated.

Although these people are ministers of the Ming Dynasty, they should live and die with the country and repay the king with death.

But if you look at the remaining people who did not choose to die for their country and turned to the bandits and slave builders, you will know how difficult it is to die for your country in the face of the horror of life and death.

Even he himself had not made up his mind to live or die with the capital, and thought about breaking out when the city was broken.

It can be seen from this that, as Mr. Hao said, regardless of their abilities, these people must be loyal to him and the Ming Dynasty.

Unfortunately, almost none of the people on this list were reused by him.

Just like Fan Jingwen, it can be said that he dislikes him the most among the remaining cabinet ministers, because Fan Jingwen's words always do not satisfy him and are unpleasant to listen to.

However, this minister whom he disliked was the only one among the cabinet ministers to die for his country.

So what about his more trusted first assistants Wei Dezao, Li Jiantai, and Chen Yan?

Most of them surrendered the intruders, or even the slaves, right?

Just as Chongzhen's thoughts were wandering, Hao Guangming sent several more texts.

"I heard that when the inner city was breached in the early morning of the 19th, you rang the Jingyang Bell and wanted to go to court for the last time, or to discuss something, but none of the civil and military officials arrived.

So in despair, you ordered your concubines and maids to commit suicide, killed several of your daughters, and then went to Meishan (Jingshan) Wanshou Pavilion and hanged yourself from the locust tree next to the Wanshou Pavilion.

When you were about to die, you thought you had no words to face your ancestors, so you covered your face with your hair and wrote a letter in blood on the lining of your clothes, begging the intruders not to harm the people in the city.

It was the eunuch Wang Chengen who accompanied you on this last journey. After you committed suicide, he also committed suicide.

Regarding the fact that no ministers came when you rang the Jingyang Bell, we have a guess at this time.

It is said that the inner city of the capital was destroyed at that time, and most of the ministers were outside the imperial city. Therefore, at that time, the loyal ministers either died in battle before you and died for the country, or they were blocked by intruders and chaos, so no one came to join you.

"

After reading these words, Chongzhen couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

Thinking about it, committing suicide out of despair, causing concubines and palace maids to commit suicide, covering their faces with hair, etc., really resembles his style.

As for killing his daughter with his own hands, he didn't know whether he would do that in extreme circumstances, but he didn't want to believe that he did it.

At this time, Hao Guangming sent another text.

"I'm telling you this because I hope you can give it another try. Even if you can't turn things around and change your destiny, it's still good if you can buy two more days to make arrangements for the funeral."

After reading it, Chongzhen, who was originally at a loss, finally had a practical goal.

He took a deep breath and immediately said to Zhu A'a: "A'a'a, please quickly copy down the names of the loyal ministers who died for the country. My father will reuse them and fight with them against the intruders!"

"Yes!" Zhu Ailao was also very excited and agreed immediately, but then she remembered something that Hao Guangming reminded her before, so she said: "Father, what Mr. Hao said are historical materials written by later generations, and they may not be all true.

ah."

Chongzhen rarely smiled when he heard this, "Of course I know this. In fact, the names and official positions above are wrong.

But even if there are a few mistakes, it’s better than the people I’m using now who are about to open the door to welcome thieves, right?”

really.

Zhu Yurao nodded and immediately began to copy the list.

Chongzhen came outside the palace and said to the eunuch guarding the door: "Go and call Wang Cheng'en quickly."

The eunuch took the order and left.

Chongzhen summoned three more Jin Yiwei (Han generals) and said: "Go quickly and bring Li Ruolian, Wang Guoxing and Gao Wencai."

"As you command!"

After the three Jinyi guards left, Chongzhen listened to the sound of cannons and shouts of killing on the other side of the outer city wall. He couldn't help but look over, and was lost in thought for a moment.

But not long after, he heard Zhu Nuao's shout.

"Father, Mr. Hao has written again!"

Chongzhen immediately returned to the palace.

Zhu Yuluo showed him her cell phone.

But I saw the following text above.

"I checked a lot of information, and it was said that it was the evening of the 17th, that is, the outer city of the capital would be breached tonight.

The direct cause was that someone opened the Guangning Gate—the most widely circulated theory was that the eunuch guarding the city, Cao Huachun, led someone to open it, or it was other eunuchs.
