Concubine Tian was really stunned. She was still young and didn't want to die. But the king wanted the minister to die, and the minister had to die. He burst into tears and had to say, "Let me take a bath and change my clothes, bid farewell to my ancestors, and commit suicide again?"

Chongzhen heard the noise and shouted to kill him closer and closer. At this time, he would not allow you to take a bath and change clothes and bid farewell to his ancestors. If the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, it would be good if there is a whole body. He said with a grim smile: "It's not so troublesome!"

He held the sword and stabbed it into Concubine Tian's chest. A generation of beauty has lost its fragrance. Chongzhen could only lament: "How could he be born in the imperial family!"

This is his woman, the imperial concubine who was ordered to be enthroned. He would not allow her to fall into the hands of the thief. He was humiliated by the thief, so he could only send her on his way personally, and he would be defeated.

The person he loved sent her to hell personally, which made his heart cut like a knife. Even though his heart cut like a knife, he was not shaken at all. He then went to other palaces and sentenced several imperial concubines to death one by one.

Then he came to Ciqing Palace where Empress Dowager Yi'an Zhang Yan was located. At this time, Ciqing Palace was in chaos. The palace maids and eunuchs rushed to flee. Many of them were carrying property. When they saw the emperor, they were not afraid, but just lowered their heads and walked aside.

Emperor Chongzhen carried a bloody sword and broke into the main hall of Ciqing Palace. He asked to see the Empress Dowager Zhang Yan and said, "The Emperor's sister-in-law! The Emperor's brother is not talented and has no way to govern the country. He has made the Shenzhou devastated and the country is handed over to others. As a member of the royal family, he must not fall into the opponent. Then, please ask the Emperor's sister-in-law to commit suicide and serve the country in the whole festival."

After Zhang Yan met Chongzhen behind the curtain, she knew that something was wrong now, but she never expected that the situation would worsen to such an extent.

The emperor actually came to give her death in person.

Zhang Yan is a famous person. In the 34th year of Wanli, Zhang Yan was born in Xiangfu County, Kaifeng Prefecture, Chengxuan Government Office, Henan Province.

When Zhang Yan was a child, she was pure and quiet, and she smiled without showing her teeth. When she was seven years old, she worked hard, sweeping the courtyard, washing and cooking, and she knew everything. When she was fine, she was alone in the room, learning to be a girl, and reading books and history. At the age of thirteen or fourteen, she was graceful and beautiful, and she was unparalleled. After her father's child Zhang Guoji became a widow, Zhang Yan took care of her younger sister himself.

In February of the first year of Tianqi, Zhang Yan, who was fifteen years old (Xu Sui), entered the palace for beauty selection and was enthroned as the queen in April. Her father Zhang Guoji regarded his daughter as the most important person and was named Taikangbo.

Zhang Yan has a serious personality and a queen-like demeanor. She is a woman who can treat the world with the mother. She is very despised by the eunuch Wei Zhongxian and Tianqi's wet nurse, the Holy Lady Keshi, joining forces to do evil. She often mentions their faults several times in front of Tianqi, and even personally punishes Keshi as the queen, which makes Wei Zhongxian and Keshi hate her to the core. However, because Zhang Yan is the queen, unlike other concubines, she is usually easy to deal with. After several attempts to murder, she is rare.

In the third year of Tianqi, Empress Zhang Yan was pregnant and suddenly had a back pain, so she wanted to find a palace maid who could massage for massage. Keshi was afraid that the queen would give birth to a prince, so she came up with an idea and asked Wei Zhongxian to arrange for her to pretend to be a person and deliberately beat her hands while twisting her waist for the queen. This resulted in Queen Zhang giving birth to a stillbirth, that is, Prince Zhu Ciran of the Prince of Huai Chong. Empress Zhang has never given birth again since then. This incident later became the tenth crime of Yang Lian impeaching Wei Zhongxian.

Empress Zhang played a great role in the ascension of the throne of King Xin Zhu Youjian. Not long before Tianqi died, it was rumored that Keshi arranged for pregnant palace maids to enter the harem to pretend to be Tianqi's descendants and wanted to carry out the Lu Buwei's poisonous plan.

Tianqi told Empress Zhang that Wei Zhongxian told me that two people in the harem were pregnant and that they would become emperors when they gave birth to a boy.

Empress Zhang Yan expressed her objection, believing that King Zhu Youjian should be established as soon as possible. After a long stalemate, Empress Zhang persuaded Tianqi to pass on the throne. Zhu Youjian wanted to refuse, but Zhang Yan walked out from behind the screen and said, "The emperor's uncle has no choice but to be in urgent need of things, and I am afraid that something will happen."

King Xin Zhu Youjian officially inherited the throne and his reign was Chongzhen.

Tianqi always cherished Empress Zhang. When he was dying, he entrusted Empress Zhang to his younger brother, Zhu Youjian, and ordered him to say, "The central palace has been to me for seven years, and he always speaks and advises me correctly, and has benefited a lot. In the future, he will be widowed and be kind to the central palace." After Zhu Youjian ascended the throne, he also respected the emperor's sister-in-law very much and praised Zhang Yan as "Empress Yi'an". During the Chongzhen dynasty, she was respected and treated by Chongzhen.

Since being named Empress Dowager Yi'an, Zhang Yan has been living in Ciqing Palace without caring about worldly affairs and has been raising him for thousands of years. Emperor Chongzhen is still very strict with him. Even though the emperor is very cheap, there is no reduction in Zhang Yan's various expenses. In many things, he also expressed great respect to the emperor's sister-in-law and the empress dowager.

However, Empress Dowager Yian Zhang Yan did not expect that there would be such a day. On that day, she advocated and supported King Xin Zhu Youjian to ascend the throne quickly, hoping that he would revive the throne, turn the tide, and revive the Ming Dynasty. Of course, she also hoped that he would reward him. However, she never expected that the lord of the wise Emperor Chongzhen in her eyes would have completely ruined the Ming Dynasty. The reward for him was not to support her for a thousand years, but to let her commit suicide.

Zhang Yan was really stunned. She was only 30 years old and in her golden age. Although her husband died early, she enjoyed her wealth and glory well, thinking that it would be fine for the rest of her life.

Who knew that today the emperor forced him to commit suicide. Although the emperor said it very politely and politely, his tone was beyond doubt. This was the will, not a negotiation.

Zhang Yan pondered for a long time, and finally said, "When I take a shower and change my clothes and bid farewell to my ancestors, I will stop myself? It won't hurt the reputation of the royal family."

Zhang Yan also understood that as the queen of the Ming Empire, the most noble person, the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, and she didn't have to expect any good life. Instead of falling into the hands of the enemy and being humiliated, it would be better to have three-foot white silk, and one to end one hundred and sacrifice the whole country.

At this time, Chonghuan was extremely ashamed and embarrassed. He faced the emperor's sister-in-law who was as kind as a mountain to him. As the emperor's emperor, she knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times, and staggered away.

Emperor Chongzhen came to Kunning Palace in a daze. At this time, Kunning Palace was in chaos, with garbage on the ground and various objects all over the ground. The palace maids and eunuchs were gone, so they should have escaped.

Empress Zhou hugged two young princes and princess and cried bitterly. Empress Zhou was a smart person, so she knew the result of their family.

What good end could a queen who lost her country have? The best thing is to commit suicide, but she really can't bear to leave her. She is only in her thirties, and her son and daughter are so young and so cute. She can't bear to die or let them die. How great would it be if she could watch them grow up, marry and have children? Thinking of this, Queen Zhou burst into tears and burst into tears.

The children were still young and didn't know the pain of the destruction of the country, but they also felt the miserable and helplessness of the arrival of the doomsday. When they saw their mothers crying, they were all in vain and cried bitterly, looking very desolate.

After the beginning of spring this year, it started to rain, but when the Chinese army landed from Tianjin Wei, the rain basically stopped and began to clear up. The weather gradually warmed up, the ice and snow melted, and the roads were frozen.

In the south of the Yangtze River, it is the spring March when the water in the spring is warm and the grass is growing and the birds are flying.

In fact, outside now, it can be said that the sky is clear and the weather is gradually warming up. If nothing else, it is a great time after spring plowing.

To put it bluntly, it is the time when grass grows and birds fly and all things are revived, but in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, there are dark clouds and darkness. Everything he sees is gray.

Emperor Chongzhen entered Kunning Palace with his bloody sword and sat on the throne blankly. He also knew that this was the last moment for their family, and the end of the world was coming. Seeing such a young and lovely child, he had to go with him. His heart was like a knife, and he was reluctant to leave.

Emperor Chongzhen still lamented: "How could he be born in the imperial family!"

Queen Zhou burst into tears and said, "Master! Can't you give the children a way out?"

Emperor Chongzhen said: "They are so young and have no ability to survive, and there are chaos outside. How can they survive? They suffer endless humiliation? Why don't they come to have a happy time!"

Emperor Chongzhen thought about this question, that is, as the emperor of the Ming Empire, he had to sacrifice his life for his country, but his children were different, and he could survive even if he escaped.

But the war outside is in chaos and the world is so dangerous. How can these young children survive? If the traitors know their identity, they may be strange goods or cut into pieces. Instead of suffering such humiliation, it is better to kill them yourself and go to the underworld together, and they will be defeated.

The Ming Dynasty has perished and the ancestral temples do not exist. So what if the heirs are gone?

Now Emperor Chongzhen began to understand the despair and helplessness of the people who changed their sons to eat.

At this time, there was a noise outside. It should be that the rebels had already attacked the inner city from the outer city and were about to march towards the imperial city. The emperor couldn't help but sigh: "The Ming Empire had been in the 300th century, tens of thousands of miles, and had been in power for three hundred years. I didn't expect that the day when the country was destroyed, the money was scattered and no one followed him."

The emperor looked back blankly that beside him, Wang Chengen, who was kneeling on the ground, was left.

At this time, the bells in the Drum Tower were ringing loudly, and many people cheered loudly.

The cheers sent at this time should be that the Chinese army achieved a decisive victory or occupied certain important places.

Emperor Chongzhen said, "Our deadline has come, and I wish to be a relative in the next life, but I will live for generations and not be in the imperial family."
