"The current situation in the world is the result of this person's hand. He must be responsible for this and bear the guilt."
Lu Ping said categorically that he had no intention of saving Chongzhen.
Chongzhen was furious.
"Slave dog, I am the emperor, how can I allow you to disobey me?"
However, everyone just looked at this madman with cold eyes and showed no respect for him.
Chongzhen roared for a while and found that no one was afraid of him. He made a big fuss and became more and more frustrated.
Seeing that Lu Ping was unwilling to save Chongzhen, Wang Chengen slowly shook his head.
"Our family has been serving the emperor since we were young. We have been serving him all our lives, and we have long been used to it. Today, the emperor cannot be left alone, but we cannot let him be alone."
This old eunuch decided to accompany Chongzhen until the end.
Qin Hui had three friends, so naturally some people couldn't let go of Chongzhen.
In the main hall, there were cries everywhere.
Lu Ping wanted to say something else, but when the words came to his lips, he had no choice but to hold them back.
Everyone has his own ambitions.
He could only admire Wang Chengen's choice.
Among the entire palace, Wang Chengen was the only one who was really kind to him over the years.
"Ancestor, I will visit your tomb, offer incense and take care of your affairs every year from now on."
Wang Chengen understood what he meant.
"You are a good boy, and it is worthy of our family's love for you."
He looked at the capable troops around Lu Ping and finally asked: "The city is about to be destroyed. Why don't you run for your life? What are you doing here?"
Lu Ping pointed at Queen Zhou, several princes and princesses and said: "Your Highness said that although this emperor is extremely evil, the woman and children are innocent. If he is willing, we can escort him out and let them live in peace for the rest of their lives."
In a time of endless despair, life suddenly appeared, and Queen Zhou and others were all pleasantly surprised.
"Huang...Director Huang, you...can you really save the children of the Ai family?"
After all, Queen Zhou is a mother. When the country is in ruins, the most worrying thing is her own children.
She deeply understands what this means to her children.
But Chongzhen was different.
"My child will die if he dies, and he will live with the country. He does not need the mercy of traitors like you. He, Zuo Mengeng, does not want to attack my child to fulfill his ambition."
Lu Ping's face turned cold.
"Emperor, your child is not that important yet. Our Xia Kingdom does not need to be so dirty. By the way, let me tell you that my Highness is already preparing for the enthronement ceremony. By then, he will rule the world and form his own legal system, unlike your Ming Dynasty.
Half relationship."
As if struck by lightning, Chongzhen took a few steps back and fell into a chair.
"Zuo Menggeng is also going to proclaim himself emperor?"
He knew that although what Lu Ping said was unpleasant, it was the truth.
Once Zuo Menggeng completes proclaiming himself emperor and establishing a country, his children will have no value in holding him hostage.
Empress Zhou crawled all the way to Chongzhen with pear blossoms in the rain, hugged his legs, and begged bitterly.
"Your Majesty, I have long made up my mind to follow Your Majesty. But the children...the children are still young. Please leave some incense to Your Majesty!"
Chongzhen was suspicious of everyone throughout his life, but he was extremely loyal to Queen Zhou.
Facing Queen Zhou's request, he wavered.
"What does Zuo Mengeng plan to do with my child?"
Lu Ping told the truth.
"Being born into an emperor's family and experiencing the ruin of the country and family is already miserable enough. From now on, when they arrive in the Xia Kingdom, they can live in peace and contentment."
Chongzhen was the emperor after all, and he had a lot of thoughts.
"Isn't Zuo Mengeng afraid that they will grow up in the future and seek to revive the country?"
Lu Ping's face was full of energy and energy.
"Our Xia Kingdom is so powerful and the people's hearts are so strong. How can a mere child make waves? They can just live peacefully. If their ambitions really expand, they will bring about all the consequences themselves."
Chongzhen's heart was full of food.
Just because of these confident words, I don't know how many times he longed for it in his dreams. However, the Ming Dynasty's declining country and national power gave him no confidence at all.
It's really unbelievable that even a small person in the Xia Kingdom is better than him.
"I'm just afraid... I'm just afraid that some people in Jiangnan will not give up and harm them."
Lu Ping still told the truth.
"Jiangnan is about to be recovered by our Xia Kingdom. There is no need for the emperor to worry. Those who obey me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish. Those who do not understand the current affairs will surely die without a burial place."
Hearing that Xia was about to attack Jiangnan, Chongzhen gave up even his last hope.
Yes.
Nowadays, the world is in chaos, and all forces are advancing by leaps and bounds. Only the Xia Kingdom seems a little quiet.
This is unreasonable.
But it turned out that he was holding back his ultimate move in Jiangnan.
After everything was figured out, Chongzhen also let go.
He waved and asked Zhu Cihong to come closer.
"From now on, you are no longer the prince. The days ahead will be difficult, but your younger brothers and sisters need your care, so you have to endure it. You are a man, can you promise your father to hold up the sky?"
Zhu Cixiang couldn't stop crying at all, but he was already sensible.
"My child promises... I promise my father that I will live in peace and harmony from now on and take good care of my younger brother and younger sister."
Chongzhen called Princess Changping to him again.
"My child, my father... my father doesn't really want to kill you. But after the Ming Dynasty died, and you are a girl, I am afraid that you will be humiliated. From now on, when my father and mother are gone, you will be the eldest sister. I must help you."
Take care of your eldest brother, take care of your younger brother and younger sister, you know?"
Zhu Yuluo had not yet woken up from the shock just now. She just nodded blankly, not understanding what these words meant.
Empress Zhou waited until Chongzhen finished confessing his last words. She couldn't bear it anymore and held the children in her arms, crying so hard that her heart broke.
Lu Ping was always calm.
"Emperor, Queen, time is running out, we have to evacuate."
Queen Zhou took out a jade pendant from her arms and stuffed it into Zhu Cixiang's hand.
"My mother can only give you so much. Don't take it out unless you have to. Remember, this thing is very valuable and can be exchanged for a lot of money. If someone gives you less, you won't exchange it."
Zhu Cixi didn't know what the outside world was like, so he could only nod blankly.
Empress Zhou finally felt relieved, let go of the children, handed them over to Lu Ping and others, then bowed and bowed.
"I will leave all matters to you from now on. If anything happens to my child, even though I am a woman, I will seek justice from you in the eighteenth level of hell."
The decisive words did not scare Lu Ping, he remained calm.
"As I said, as long as they don't act recklessly, everything will be fine. The queen doesn't need to swear. What I, the Xia Kingdom, have said will definitely count."
These calm words are even more powerful.
"Let's go."
There were faint sounds of fighting and shouting in the air, which meant that the inner city could be breached by the Shun army at any time.
Lu Ping did not dare to delay, and together with Han Chuan, he protected several princes and princesses and ran out.
In the Palace of Qianqing, Chongzhen, Empress Zhou, Wang Chengen and others looked at the children who were leaving quickly, and they became increasingly lonely.
