Wang Chengen chased behind, but he couldn't keep up with Zhu Youzhen's pace.

Zhu Youzhen's cloak was scattered, and he walked faster and faster in the Forbidden City. He ran from Kunning Palace to Qianqing Palace, and then ran all the way west from Qianqing Palace to Xihua Gate.

The Dongchang Fanzi on the Xihua Gate had already fled, leaving only two old eunuchs standing on the city gate in panic. The two old eunuchs were both low-level housekeepers and were in their fifties. After they were castrated, they stayed in the palace for many years, and they had no relatives and friends outside the palace, and they couldn't do much work when they were old, and it was a dead end to flee out.

At this time, I heard that the new army was defeated, and the two old eunuchs already had the determination to be buried with the Ming Dynasty. They sat helplessly at the gates, watching the eunuchs rush out of the gates.

At this time, seeing Zhu Youzhen, who was wearing a white coat, running over, the two old eunuchs didn't even understand who it was.

Zhu Youzhen ran all the way to Xihua Gate, stood on the small square by the door for a while, and looked coldly at the eunuchs and middle-aged palace maids who fled outside the palace. Those fugitive palace people didn't understand Zhu Youzhen's identity, and no one paid attention to him.

It wasn't until Wang Chengen chased after him out of breath and shouted "Emperor" loudly behind him that everyone understood that this person who ran at night with his hair was Zhu Youzhen, the Son of Heaven.

The two old eunuchs at the city gate opened their mouths wide all of a sudden, and looked at the Son of Heaven speechless.

Not all eunuchs can be called eunuchs, only eunuchs with a certain status and position can be regarded as eunuchs. But even so, there are too many eunuchs in the Forbidden City, and some eunuchs don't even have the opportunity to say a word to the Son of Heaven in their lifetime. In the eyes of these two low-level eunuchs on the Xihua Gate, the Son of Heaven was an unattainable existence.

However, at this time, the lost Son of Heaven stood alone by the palace wall.

If it was said that "Da Ming is dead" was just a news rumor, seeing Zhu Youzhen at this time, the two old eunuchs really understood what the death of Da Ming was. The two old men only felt a sour nose at once, and tears couldn't help but flow, and they knelt on the city gate and fell to the ground.

However, there are not many people like these two old eunuchs.

Hearing Wang Chengen's shout, the palace insiders inside and outside the city gate just glanced at Zhu Youzhen and stopped paying attention.

Daming is finished, everyone is on the run, even if the Son of Heaven has a fan to protect him, no one is in awe. What's more, at this time, Zhu Youzhen was also extremely down, wearing a white coat with a cloak and losing the prestige of the Son of Heaven.

If the Son of Heaven loses his prestige, then he is no longer the Son of Heaven.

Everyone was busy fleeing for their lives, and no one knew what Li Zhi's policy was, and if he left the city one step later, he would have a little more risk of being picked up by the Tiger Ben Army and beheaded.

No one kowtowed to Zhu Youzhen, and no one looked at Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen, who had no one to pay attention to, was extremely embarrassed, took a step and continued to run forward. He circled the Forbidden City, bypassed the majestic Imperial Palace, passed the crowded Donghua Gate, and finally walked out of the Forbidden City from behind the Imperial Garden.

One foot deep and one foot shallow, Zhu Youzhen walked on the coal mountain.

Wang Chengen, who was extremely tired, finally caught up with Zhu Youzhen.

He looked at Zhu Youzhen, who was walking sadly on the coal mountain, and pulled the pants of the Son of Heaven to death.

"Emperor! The emperor can't commit suicide! Emperor, we can escape! The sky and the earth are big, as long as the emperor is incognito, where can't he hide? The Jiangshan Society is gone, and saving your life can be regarded as passing on the bloodline for the ancestors and ancestors! ”

Zhu Youzhen raised his eyebrows and looked at Wang Chengen coldly.

Wang Chengen was glared at by Zhu Youzhen, and he didn't dare to grab Zhu Youzhen's trouser leg anymore, so he knelt on the ground helplessly.

Zhu Youzhen took a breath and said, "Wang Chengen, let's go!" Go to the inner treasury and take a hundred taels of gold, and flee to the west. Go to Ningxia, Gansu Province to find a customs clearance merchant town to live in, and do some small business to make a living. ”

Wang Chengen howled and cried, kowtowed desperately on the ground, and shouted loudly: "Emperor, if I don't escape, you can't die." Emperor, you are the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven cannot die. ”

Zhu Youzhen heard Wang Chengen's words and closed his eyes helplessly.

"Wang Chengen, Da Ming is dead, and I am no longer the Son of Heaven. In the future, the Son of Heaven will be Li Zhi, you have had a relationship with Li Zhi, you hurry to Tianjin to serve, and maybe you can get a fortune. ”

Wang Chengen's body trembled, and he knelt on the ground without saying a word.

Zhu Youzhen stopped talking nonsense with Wang Chengen and continued to walk towards the coal mountain.

Walking and walking, Zhu Youzhen found an old tree with oblique branches.

Walking under the tree, Zhu Youzhen was silent for a long time.

Wang Chengen followed Zhu Youzhen and stood behind Zhu Youzhen for a long time, but suddenly saw Zhu Youzhen untie the Shu silk belt from his waist and tie the white ribbon to the tree.

Zhu Youzhen grabbed the belt and confirmed that the belt was indeed tied tightly, before putting all his hair on his face.

"The Ming Dynasty died at my hands, and I have no face to go to see my ancestors and ancestors... It's just that if it weren't for the fact that the scholar was so greedy, why would I need to drink Li Zhi's poison? ”

"I am not the king of the dead country, but the officials of the world are all the ministers of the dead country."

Zhu Youzhen looked at the majestic Forbidden City in front of him, laughed miserably, and was about to jump up and commit suicide.

Wang Chengen burst into tears and knelt on the ground with a thud.

"The Emperor..."

However, not far away, more than ten meters away, a crisp gunshot sounded.

There are people around.

Zhu Youzhen's body trembled, looked around in fear, and suddenly stopped committing suicide.

Is it just someone around? There are actually quite a few people on the coal mountain at this time! After that gunshot, countless Tianjin secret guards wearing new-style military uniforms rushed up along with the gunshot. An Pingbo Han Jinxin grabbed the rope and walked in front, and walked under the tree where Zhu Youzhen was with hundreds of people.

Zhu Youzhen, who was wearing a cloak, took a step back and looked at Han Jinxin in surprise.

"Han Jinxin?"

Zhu Youzhen knows Han Jinxin, and he can also understand why Han Jinxin was able to blend into the capital. As the leader of Li Zhi's secret guard, Han Jinxin had a hundred ways to infiltrate the city gates. And it is normal for there to be hundreds of Tianjin secret guards in the capital. But what Zhu Youzhen didn't understand was why Han Jinxin appeared on the coal mountain at this time.

It is impossible for others to know about the idea of committing suicide in the coal mountain, how could Han Jinxin organize a search here in advance?

Li Zhi is really a god who knows everything?

Zhu Youzhen didn't know that hanging himself in the coal mountain after his death was a well-known thing in later generations. Although this thought appeared suddenly at this time, Li Zhi, who came from later generations, knew that this thought would inevitably appear.

Han Jinxin waved his hand and asked the secret guards to go up and tie up Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen looked at the wolf-like guards and did not dare to resist. Wang Chengen couldn't bear the humiliation of the Son of Heaven, and rushed up desperately to fight with the secret guards. The last secret guard couldn't bear it anymore and knocked Wang Chengen unconscious with a stick.

Zhu Youzhen looked at the blood on Wang Chengen's forehead and closed his eyes helplessly. was pushed by the secret guards, and Zhu Youzhen was escorted back to the Forbidden City.

I don't know when it started, the banner of the word "Qi" has been set up on the Forbidden City.
