Chapter 3 Just because I saw you one more time in the crowd

If it were other governors, Yang Qing would really not believe it, but Wang Chengen would be fine.

This is the only one who is loyal to Chongzhen.

Don’t think that the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were really loyal to Chongzhen, surrendered to Li Zicheng’s governors and soldiers!

Although there are still questions about whether Cao Huachun opened the door to meet the enemy, after all, he has been retired for several years, and in theory he shouldn't be in Beijing at this time, but a lot of historical records have recorded that he was in Beijing at this time and was an important figure. So many people can't frame him, so it is not ruled out that he was specially recruited by Chongzhen. After all, he is also considered a veteran, and it is not surprising that Chongzhen came to him for seeking medical treatment in an emergency.

Among the other eunuchs, Wang Huamin and Du Zhizhi did not play any good roles, and they all knelt down very happily.

That's why there is an extremely funny scene in front of the Meridian Gate...

After the eunuch Wang Dehua met Li Zicheng, he left the Meridian Gate and happened to meet Zhang Jinyan, the Minister of War who was waiting for appointment.

"You are still there? You are the major affairs of the country and Your Excellency Wei are ruining it!"

Wang Dehua cursed.

After saying that, he asked his followers to slap Zhang Jinyan in the face.

As a result, Zhang Shangshu was beaten and cried.

Next to Zhang Shangshu was Lord Wei, who was the chief minister of the cabinet who had just told Li Zicheng that His Majesty had pardoned his ministers and should repay him with loyalty. In fact, the top scholar Wei Zaode, Chongzhen's most trusted scholar, was thrown by Li Zicheng, who was disgusted by Liu Zongmin and imprisoned. As a result, he lay on the window and shouted that if he used me, no matter what official he was, but why should he imprison me?

At this moment, Wei Zhuangyuan rushed forward to rescue him.

"Why is Mr. Wei so handsome?"

Wang Dehua scolded him.

Li Zicheng's confidant adviser Gu Junen, who sat on the wall of the Meridian Gate above their heads, saw enough of monkey play and said with a smile: "Is this Wei Zhuangyuan?"

Wei Zaode's face turned red.

"This is the special clerk (extraordinary promotion) of the top scholar and prime minister, which has greatly enhanced his glory to his ancestors!"

Gu Junen said.

The subordinates of Li Zicheng around them all smiled happily.

However, it should be noted that Wang Dehua, who seemed to be justified, opened the Deshengmen and let the Shun Army enter the city. He was successful in Li Zicheng, and it was precisely why he dared to be arrogant.

So in this drama that can be said to be a timely and sacred show, the eunuchs are not better than civil officials. In fact, no one is more loyal than anyone else. Civil officials, military officials, eunuchs, Jinyiwei, and nobles are all the same. Civil officials are indeed famous for being shameless, but there are also a lot of people who sacrificed their lives for Chongzhen. For example, after watching the above farce, I went back to write about the Holy Lord of Jiuyuan Yi, the two old men with white heads, and then committed suicide. Among the eunuchs, there are indeed people who follow Chongzhen's life and death like Wang Chengen, but there are also a lot of people who sell him without integrity. Yang Qing would not be so naive that he believed in the loyalty of some eunuchs, unless it was Wang Chengen who did not need doubt.

However……

"Old Wang is not good at doing things!"

He stood speechlessly in front of the Qianqing Palace gate, looking at the people of all kinds coming in and out.

He had been waiting for a long time, but in fact it should be the second midnight, but it was cloudy and it was difficult to tell the specific time. However, the news of Shun Army breaking through Xuanwu Gate had already been heard.

In fact, it was opened by eunuch Wang Xiangyao.

This means that the inner city has been broken.

During this period, eunuchs kept rushing in to report military information or come out with imperial edicts. Chongzhen probably struggled dyingly, but this was meaningless. All the civil and military officials outside abandoned him. When Yang Qing came in, he met the last group of people who entered the palace. After them, no officials entered the palace. After that, eunuchs who sent imperial edicts to the cabinet in history found that there was no one, so they put the imperial edict on the table and left. The order he gave to the army was to Zhu Chunchen, Duke Cheng who later came to the door and was turned away. The latter had surrendered to Li Zicheng, but was accidentally found the imperial edict that made him govern the military inside and outside, and then Li Zicheng avenged Chongzhen.

There were even eunuchs carrying food boxes in, probably for the last supper.

Yang Qing looked at the last moment of the Chongzhen Dynasty in front of the Ganqing Gate like he was looking at an old man in a dying state.

But he never waited for the news of summoning himself.

Yang Qing was confused for a moment.

With his personality, he really wanted to break in, but with Chongzhen's stinky and hard temper, doing so would be a bad thing. He was not a confidant, but just a captain of the Jinyiwei. Chongzhen's only reaction was to let the guards give him a random gun and would not give him a chance to speak. By the way, Chongzhen also had a group of armed eunuchs around him. He was indeed of great force, but he could not withstand bullets. If he broke in, he was hard to say whether he could see Chongzhen, and he had to risk his life. In this way, he might as well take Wang Chengen and go in just now. He should have been deceived by Lao Wang.

But he can't just wait like that!

Looking at the palace maids and eunuchs around him who had already begun to escape, he gritted his teeth and was struggling.

Giving up is not impossible.

After all, he has alternative options.

He can also switch to Li Zicheng. Although he had just killed several Shunjuns, he also showed his value. Li Zicheng would not give up a powerful general, and then try every means to help the latter win the battle at Shanhaiguan. After all, helping Chongzhen is not the only choice, but this path is more difficult. It is a melee of hundreds of thousands of people. The role of a powerful general is very limited.

He looked at the brightly lit Ganqing Palace in the gate in a tangled manner.

However, at this moment, a strange light suddenly illuminated his vision.

Then he took a breath of air conditioning.

Not far away from him, a beautiful girl who looked not old was looking at him curiously with her beautiful eyes. She was wearing a palace outfit, backing the palace walls under the night in the dim light, like a blooming tulip in the dark night, dispersing the blood color that seemed to be inherently elegant and noble.

She is so beautiful that it makes people feel heart-wrenching.

At this moment, all Yang Qing could think of was the four words "beautiful" of the country.

Especially the gorgeous palace outfit sets off her face, making the word "National Beauty" also very appropriate.

In Yang Qing's burning gaze, she lowered her head shyly, and then walked into the Ganqing Gate surrounded by several palace maids. Just as she was about to hide in the dark, she suddenly looked back. Yang Qing subconsciously raised her hand, but at this time the drizzle fell in the sky. A palace maid quickly opened the bamboo umbrella, and then her beautiful figure was blocked by the palace maid and soon walked down the steps inside the door and couldn't see it.

"Who is that?"

Yang Qing grabbed a run away and asked impatiently.

“Where did it come from…”

The little eunuch shouted angrily.

But his anger came to an abrupt end as Yang Qing lifted him up. He was raised by the latter with one hand and then changed into a flattering smile on his face. Yang Qing also smiled and put him down.

"My father-in-law, who is that woman?"

Yang Qing asked again with a smile.

"General, I don't even recognize Princess Kunxing?"

The little eunuch said.

"Princess Kunxing? Isn't it Princess Changping?"

Yang Qing said in surprise.

"Changping? We have never had Princess Changping in the Ming Dynasty. Three girls above have the title. Princess Kunyi has passed away long ago. Then there are two princesses Kunxing and Zhaoren. Princess Zhaoren is only five years old!"

The little eunuch said.

Yang Qing was stunned for a moment...

"Princess, don't go in!"

He suddenly screamed, and then rushed straight to Ganqing Gate.

“Bold!”

With a angrily shout, the armed eunuch guarding the door immediately picked up the mezzanine.

Yang Qing immediately stopped and raised his hands and looked ahead without moving.

At least twenty combs were aiming at him on the white marble railings in front of the Ganqing gate and on both sides, and several of them had quickly lit the fuses, and the others were lit. He raised his hand and changed into a calm smile on his face, and then slowly retreated.

The armed eunuchs kept aiming and watched him retreat.

Yang Qing kept retreating thirty meters, and waved his hand and said goodbye with a smile. He turned right standardly and suddenly started running wildly. Speaking of which, there was more than one door in the Ganqing Palace. The eunuchs who delivered food just now walked away from a small door not far away. With the puzzled eyes of the armed eunuchs, Yang Qing, who had been running out for dozens of meters, rushed into the small door that they could not see and continued to move forward along a corridor. Soon a side door appeared on his left, but the door was closed. He ran with all his strength but did not open it.

If you can't get rid of it, you will crawl.

He then left the porch, but found that it was difficult to climb the wall. After all, he had never considered letting him climb when designing it. Fortunately, his ability to bounce was different from the past. After a step back, after more than ten meters of running-up, he jumped with all his strength and jumped up more than three meters high. In the air, his hands immediately hugged the protruding eaves on one side, and the solid wood easily with the strength of Jin Feifeng, he climbed up easily, stepped on the tiles and continued to rise soon.

The magnificent Ganqing Palace was immediately presented to him.

But unfortunately, Princess Kunxing is gone.

He ran down a few steps and jumped to the ground, then ran towards the Ganqing Palace at full speed, and soon rushed up the base along the steps. At the same time, a group of armed eunuchs rushed over with swords, and a woman's scream suddenly came from the Ganqing Palace hall where the door was closed behind them. Yang Qing's mind was gone in an instant. He didn't even look at the armed eunuchs holding swords. They rushed over like an angry bull, knocking two eunuchs who blocked him away, and then he knocked open the door of the Ganqing Palace again.

Immediately afterwards, a man holding a sword, wearing a red dragon robe and a winged crown on his head appeared in his sight.

Obviously this is His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Chongzhen looked at Yang Qing in confusion.

And the one who was lying down at his feet was Princess Kunxing, but her left arm was stained with blood.
