Emperor Chongzhen wanted to kill all his wife and children with one sword, and then committed suicide to his country. Who knew that he was blocked by someone who drew his sword, and the person who blocked him was Xu Jianqiang.

Emperor Chongzhen said viciously: "Even you want to come, can't you?"

Xu Jianqiang said: "Your Majesty, the tiger will not eat the poison!"

Song Zhen said, "Will you send it to the Chinese military camp and ask for credit and reward?"

Xu Jianqiang said: "Everyone can join Liu Yuanqiao, but I, Xu Jianqiang, cannot. Listen to the words of the empress, everyone can live!"

Emperor Chongzhen then pulled the sword back and asked, "How to live?"

Xu Jianqiang said: "Weichen has always had a secret passage that can leave the capital secretly. No one knows it. And they have arranged identities and substitutes for the emperor, the queen and the princes. They can leave this place without knowing it. As long as we wait to Henan and surrender to General Zhu Xieyuan, we will naturally make a comeback."

Xu Jianqiang's words ignited hope to Queen Zhou and others, and looked at the emperor with hope.

The emperor listened to Xu Jianqiang's words, and his expression changed. Finally, he said: "My Ming Dynasty has millions of soldiers, but he has lost his territory and destroyed his country. Zhu Xieyuan has more than 100,000 defeated soldiers. How can he turn the world back? It's just a struggle to die, only increasing pain and suffering to the people? It's better not to do it!"

Xu Jianqiang said: "Your Majesty! This is the time of life and death, so you must not be fooled!"

Chongzhen said coldly: "I have decided, don't persuade me again."

As an emperor and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen would not wave his tail and beg for mercy from his ministers, nor would he flee like a dog that was a loser. He would go to destruction with his country, ancestors, and family temples? This is called the king's death in the country.

Xu Jianqiang burst into tears, and he choked and said, "Master! Even ants are alive, let alone people. As long as they live, they will have hope of making a comeback."

Chongzhen said in despair: "There is no hope, there is no hope!"

Xu Jianqiang said: "Master! Why are you confused at the critical moment? Leave the green mountains there, and you are not afraid of burning firewood!"

Chongzhen said: "I am not confused. I must have an explanation for my ancestors and the people of the world."

At this time, Empress Zhou suddenly interrupted and she said, "Emperor! I have been married into the royal family for ten years. The emperor never listened to my words. Until today's result, I have nothing to say. But today, I have something to say. I can sacrifice my country for my life, but my children are young, please give them a way out."

At this time, Xu Jianqiang also advised: "A tiger is the Lord of the Beasts, who dares to win back his sword? Only by being in love with him and looking back step by step."

Emperor Chongzhen looked at his young and so cute child, and his heart couldn't be hardened. If possible, why would he want his children to be buried with him? Why would he not want to have offspring? Enjoy the incense of offspring during the Double Ninth Festival of Qingming Festival?

The greatest misfortune of Emperor Tianqi was that he had no heirs. Even if he was the emperor, he had been criticized by others. He lost his country and became the king of the country. But why did he get to the point of losing his descendants?

But he also knew that the princes were young and had no ability to survive at all. He said to Xu Jianqiang: "Are you sure?"

Xu Jianqiang said: "I have considered this possibility, so I have prepared a substitute for the emperor, the queen and the princes. We can kill the substitute at critical moments, and then escape from the storm. After the news, I quietly leave the capital and go to Henan. Everything will be fine."

Emperor Chongzhen said: "Henan may not be peaceful." He now understood that the whole world was lost. With the four battles in Henan, it was impossible to defend the Chinese army's offensive.

Xu Jianqiang said: "There are other ways to get back. I have prepared a sum of money. Even if I can't make a comeback, I can let everyone live a wealthy and worry-free life."

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen burst into tears. He said, "Bantang knows loyal ministers, and the wind knows the strength of grass. At this time, none of the many scholars and officials who have been deeply favored by the emperor stood up. But you, Xu Jianqiang, are loyal to the country. I am very pleased. I have not read the wrong person and wish I would like to use it early, otherwise I will not be here."

Xu Jianqiang kowtowed, and he said, "The emperor treats me with a national hero, and I should repay him with a national hero."

Queen Zhou knelt down and said, "Teacher Xu! Everything will be entrusted to you."

Xu Jianqiang was shocked and quickly returned the gift. He said, "This is what a slave should do. How dare you say thank you?"

Queen Zhou said: "All civil and military officials in the court are in danger. When the country is in danger, you are the only one who stands out. If the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, I dare not seek survival. In this way, the Grand Tutor can take the princes out. In the next life, I will repay you with a bribe."

Xu Jianqiang said in surprise: "Emperor! Queen, why don't you leave together?"

Emperor Chongzhen said: "I and the Queen are the biggest goals. If you don't die, the enemy will not relax. Only when we die will you have a glimmer of life."

Xu Jianqiang thought it was right, but he didn't dare to speak anymore. The Liu family successfully rebelled and attacked the capital, and they had to kill the emperor to be at ease, otherwise there would be endless troubles and they would hunt and kill all kinds of people in large quantities.

Just like when Zhu Di was dealing with Emperor Jianwen, he refused to believe it even though he had not seen Emperor Jianwen's body for a day, so he had to do so many things.

If the emperor and the empress stayed, it would be different. If the two of them were gone, even if the matter was over, it would be a cover for them.

But as a minister, how could he dare to say such things? Just when Xu Jianqiang was thinking about this, the emperor knelt down to him and worshiped him with great courtesy.

Xu Jiancheng was shocked and said, "Your Majesty, you are going to kill the empress."

Emperor Chongzhen said, "Xu Aiqing, I have something to entrust you."

Xu Jianqiang said: "Your Majesty, please give me instructions if you have something to do, don't say such words."

Emperor Chongzhen said: "The Ming Dynasty has perished, and you and I are no longer monarchs and ministers. At this critical moment of life and death, I really cannot let go of the princes and princesses, so I will ask them to you. Don't mention the matter of reviving the country and revitalizing the ancestral property. I just hope that you can raise them, marry and have children, and reproduce offspring, and be an ordinary person, right?"

Xu Jianqiang said in tears: "I obey the order."

Chongzhen did not stand up, but said, "This is not a will, it is a request or a letter?"

Xu Jianqiang said: "I will never refuse to die. As long as I have a breath, I will not cause any grievances or any sufferings for more than half of the time. If there is a false statement, if the discipline is struck by lightning, I will not die well."

Emperor Chongzhen said, "Xu Aiqing, you are a loyal minister. You don't have to make this vow. I believe it to you, and I don't have to make this vicious vow. I also believe it."

Chongzhen ordered his two sons and daughter to kneel over and kneel in front of Xu Jianqiang. He said, "From today, Xu Aiqing will not be your minister, but your elders. You must perform the rituals of your father, the third brother! From today on, your surname will be Xu, and you will inherit the incense of the Xu family and support him in his old age."

The children didn't know anything at all, but they also knew that it was a critical moment of life and death, and it was very critical. They dared not ignore their father's words. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xu Jianqiang as they spoke.

Xu Jianqiang burst into tears. At this moment, he was extremely moved and excited. He used to do this with his passion and righteous indignation, but since the emperor made such an arrangement, he knew that he had a huge responsibility.

In the past, Xu Jianqiang was obsessed with fame and fortune, and had no children. Later, he failed to murder Liu Yuanqiao, but instead ended up with lifelong disability and became a useless person, and could not pass on the family line.

He originally thought that in this era, there were three kinds of unfilial piety, and no descendants were the greatest. As a eunuch, he was the greatest unfilial piety. Even if he was granted an official position and posthumously conferred three generations, he could not conceal this flaw.

Unexpectedly, the emperor treated him so well that he actually made the prince and princess recognize him as his father. This is a great honor! Such trust and reuse are beyond repaying him.

Xu Jianqiang kowtowed a few times on the ground, but he didn't say anything, but his expression had already made everyone know that even if he tried his best, he would protect his children.

Empress Zhou had always been pale and full of sorrow. When she saw her children, Xu Jianqiang took over and protected her, she felt relieved and smiled.

Xu Jianqiang has a very strong ability and is one of the strongest people whom Empress Zhou knows. He can protect several princes, so that they can definitely defend their peace and tranquility and let them live a good life.

Moreover, Xu Jiancheng's loyalty is not to worry about. At this time when the country was destroyed, the officials of the court all flew away in the face of a disaster. Only Xu Jianqiang rushed into the palace and wanted to protect the emperor. There were few people who could compare to this loyalty. I guess he would do this job well. Thinking of this, Empress Zhou showed a gratified smile, stood up, and bowed to Xu Jianqiang again, saying, "It's a blessing for the tutor Xu."

Xu Jianqiang bent down to return the gift. He knew that the emperor and the empress had aspirations to die. On the one hand, it was to sacrifice their country, and on the other hand, it was to cover their retreat and buy time. Time was so precious that he no longer wasted. He gave a big gift to the emperor and the empress again, and then took the princes' hands and left.

Xu Jianqiang has been a Taifu, a real Taifu, and has taught children to study. The children also listened to him, especially when they heard his parents' instructions, and then followed him obediently.

Although they were young, they all knew that something was wrong. When they parted today, they were afraid that there would never be a day to see each other again, so they burst into tears and were reluctant to leave, but they were still pulled away by Xu Jianqiang.

Wang Chengen sent Xu Jianqiang out, and Wang Chengen said, "Hsiu is loyal and brave, and has a weak righteousness. I wish I had known him early!"

Xu Jianqiang knew that Wang Chengen was determined to die with the emperor and was so loyal and righteous. He said, "The prince has no wish, and he can work for him."
