Seeing Wang Chengen's appearance, the eunuchs and palace maids gathered outside Kunning's palace were all like ashes.

Obviously, Wuqing's battle was defeated.

If the battle situation in Wuqing was dominated by the Beijing camp, or if Yang Guozhu's soldiers and horses had not collapsed and were still in a stalemate, Wang Chengen would not have been so unable to walk, let alone just crying and kowtowing after entering Kunning Palace, without saying a word.

Although the little eunuchs and the little palace maids did not understand Wang Chengen's character, they could not judge the specific situation of Wuqing through Wang Chengen's appearance. But one thing everyone understands is that if Wang Chengen panicked like this, Wuqing would inevitably be defeated, and it was likely that the entire 400,000-strong army attacking Tianjin would be defeated.

The eunuchs and palace maids looked at Wang Chengen with their mouths wide open, and they were speechless one by one. You must know that yesterday the official army had not yet begun to attack the Tiger Army, and the battle started today. And how many hours has it been? 400,000 officers and troops fought against 40,000 tiger troops, and they lost.

There was a panic in everyone's hearts, as if Li Zhi, the king of Qi in Tianjin, was not a mortal, but an immortal, an immortal who led an army of 40,000 tigers to easily destroy 400,000 official troops.

A royal horse eunuch suddenly couldn't control himself, and the six gods said ownerlessly: "It's over, Daming is over!" ”

Everyone looked at the little eunuch of the Imperial Horse Guard. The words that this eunuch said can be said to be a great rebellion, if it was before, who would dare to say that the Ming Dynasty is over? The Ming Dynasty has been passed down for more than 200 years, and the rule and culture have penetrated into every corner of China, who dares to say that the Ming Dynasty is over? This eunuch may be killed because of this sentence.

However, this is a different time. Hundreds of eunuchs and palace maids outside Kunning Palace looked at this little eunuch, but none of them reprimanded him.

Since this battle has been lost, Daming is really over.

Now the hearts of the people in the whole world are tilted towards Li Zhi, the people in one town and nine provinces are rich and decent, while the peasants in other parts of the Ming Dynasty are not yet full of food. Since the Tiger Ben Army defeated the new army of Jingying in Tianjin, there is no strength that can protect the Ming Dynasty.

For these eunuchs, the most terrible thing is that the Ming Dynasty is finished. They cut off the male roots and entered the palace as slaves, but they failed to exchange for glory and wealth, and finally got the news that the Ming Dynasty was about to perish. Once the Ming Dynasty is over, they, the eunuchs of the previous dynasty, will all lose their sources of food and clothing.

The eunuchs were all dead-hearted.

They began to run away.

They did not flee to their posts in the palace, but to the eunuchs' residences on both sides of the inner palace. While fleeing, these eunuchs discarded the three-mountain hats on their heads, took off their eunuch uniforms, and hoped to escape to their residences as soon as possible, change into civilian clothes and escape from the Forbidden City.

The Tiger Ben Army is about to enter the capital, and the glory and wealth are gone, and the only thing that can be done next is to escape, which is to save this disabled body. Fearing that other unknown eunuchs would hinder their escape, these eunuchs shouted loudly in the Forbidden City as they fled to the harem:

"The new army is defeated! Da Ming is dead! ”

"The new army is defeated! Run! ”

Hearing the shouts of these eunuchs, chaos suddenly became in the Forbidden City. The eunuchs who barely stuck to their posts lost order one by one. At the gate of the Forbidden City, the Dongchang fans on the city wall began to be anxious one by one. Even the ladies of the palace, who could not travel far in the night, began to flee to their residences, and no one was left where they were supposed to be.

There was chaos outside, and the palace maids in Kunning Palace also began to secretly escape from the back door of Kunning Palace.

Wang Chengen was still crying and kowtowing beside the temple gate.

Zhu Youzhen's third son, Zhu Cijiong, watched Wang Chengen's movements, and his face was already snow-white. He understood that as soon as the new army was defeated, he, Zhu Cijiong, would change from the unattainable Prince of the Ming Dynasty to the remnants of the former dynasty that everyone could kill and fight.

However, the prince did not completely lose his mind, he stopped crying, and suddenly said loudly: "Father! We fled westward. Shaanxi is surrounded by ravines, and the Shaanxi commander-in-chief Qin Kefu is loyal, and we flee into Shaanxi, and Li Zhi will not be able to catch up for a while. ”

When Wang Chengen on the ground heard this, he wiped his tears, raised his head and said, "His Royal Highness King Ding, Qin Kefu has died in the Daimyo's Mansion. ”

Zhu Cijiong's mouth was open, and his face was whiter.

Hearing Wang Chengen's words, the crown prince Zhu Cihong gritted his teeth and closed his eyes helplessly.

After a long time, the crown prince Zhu Cihong opened his eyes, bowed down and said to his father: "Father, now that the general trend has gone, it is better for my father to release Cui Changwu and surrender to Li Zhi in Kaecheng." If we can greet the Tiger Ben Army with a Zen attitude before Li implants in the city, I am afraid that we can still save our lives. ”

What Zhu Cihong said at this time is absolutely true. At this time, the only way to save the lives of the Son of Heaven's family is to make a good posture, if Zhu Youzhen is willing to give in, I am afraid that Li Zhi will not kill more. Everyone in the Kunning Palace looked at Zhu Youzhen, hoping that he would be willing to give up his pride and make a rational choice.

However, the disheartened Zhu Youzhen didn't react at all, looking at the increasingly chaotic Forbidden City outside with a pale face, and didn't say a word.

Time passed little by little, and as the news spread, almost all the eunuchs and palace maids outside fled. In the Kunning Palace, there are only a dozen members of the Son of Heaven and a few of the most loyal old eunuchs left.

Zhu Youzhen stood up suddenly, and raised his right foot to walk forward, but almost fell to the ground.

The crown prince Zhu Cihong hurriedly came up to help him.

Zhu Youzhen hated Zhu Cihong very much, and violently overthrew the prince who came to help him to the ground.

"Evil obstacles! Get out of here! ”

Zhu Cihong was overthrown to the ground, fell hard, and looked at his father in surprise.

"Father?"

Zhu Youzhen glared at the prince with a hideous face, and said with a sneer: "Evil obstacle! Daming Sheji is dead! You're still thinking about humiliating me! Go to give a Tianjin hawker Zen to make the country! ”

Zhu Youzhen sneered and said in a low voice: "Don't give it!" I don't give it! The rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty are handed down by the ancestors and ancestors, and I will not give anyone this river and mountain society! ”

Wang Chengen knelt on the ground, looked at the stubborn Zhu Youzhen with wide eyes, and tightened the facial features on his face, as if he was powerless for the stubbornness of the Son of Heaven.

Zhu Youzhen took a breath and strode out of Kunning Palace.

As he walked, he suddenly said in a miserable voice.

"It's dead, Daming is dead."

Walking on the road outside Kunning Palace, the middle-aged man looked left and right, but he couldn't see a eunuch sticking to his post, and couldn't help but shout miserably: "Dead!" I have destroyed the Ming Dynasty! ”

Zhu Youzhen grabbed his crown and threw it to the ground, suddenly crying.

He violently tore off the dragon robe on his body, pulled off the bun on his head, and wore a disheveled hair, walking on the road wearing only a snow-white middle coat.

"Zhu Youzhen, a descendant of the unscrupulous descendant, destroyed the foundation of his ancestors and gave the world to the traitor Li Zhi!"

On the empty imperial road of the Forbidden City, Zhu Youzhen grabbed his face with his hand and said hoarsely: "Don't Xiao descendant Zhu Youzhen!" The King of the Dead! “

Seeing the crazy appearance of the Son of Heaven, the royal family in Kunning Palace was dumbfounded.

Wang Chengen's face was full of tears, and he suddenly got up from the ground and chased after him outside the hall.

"Holy! Holy and other slaves! ”
