Because the southeast wind was very weak, the hot air balloon floated slowly, and Chongzhen saw the collapse of the Housan Palace from the hot air balloon.
He sighed, feeling a little guilty.
Among the women in the harem, he actually liked Concubine Tian the most.
Concubine Tian has a gentle personality, is knowledgeable and courteous, and has a lot in common with him. However, this is not a time when things are unclear, the queen and the prince are the most important.
I have no choice but to suffer for my beloved concubine. It's not that I'm heartless, it's just that I am bound by the people of the world. How can I risk my country and the country for a woman?
The hot air balloon floated towards the south city and soon passed the first three gates of the north city.
Zhang Shize and others are stationed here. He will be safe after passing here.
Jingdong turned around and asked: "Your Majesty, we have arrived at Nancheng. Landing to the left is the camp of General Qin Liangyu. Landing to the right is the camp of the Beijing camp. If you leave the city and pass through Yongding Gate, you will be the camp of Marquis Dingyuan. Where can I land?
Your Majesty decides."
When Chongzhen issued an order to Yang Fan before, he specially sent his consort Gong Yonggu to temporarily take charge of Yongding Gate, and allocated him 500 people from the capital camp.
Chongzhen thought for a while and said: "Let's land in Yongdingmen Urn City."
At this time, he didn't trust anyone anymore.
Who can be sure if there is anyone hiding behind Prince Fu in the capital camp?
After all, Qin Liangyu's soldiers were not the troops of the imperial court.
Yang Fan's place was outside the city, and his troops were deployed to warn the slaves. Wouldn't it be possible to fight with the slaves there at any time? It would be more dangerous there.
Moreover, in addition to some servants, Yang Fan also had soldiers and horses there. Haven't they been completely deprived by him? He now has more than 30,000 troops, but he still heard that Jiannu has blocked the road back to the capital, and he cannot return to the capital.
, was recruited temporarily in Tianjin.
Chongzhen was not optimistic about these militias composed of businessmen and workers.
After all, they were not trained by Marquis Dingyuan himself. What can these people do?
I mobilized them to go to Yongding Gate to intercept the Jian slaves, just to prevent anyone from opening the door for the Jian slaves.
I was caught off guard tonight and almost died.
He didn't expect that things would deteriorate to this point. Originally, he was sure of victory.
He is tightening the noose on Donglin step by step. At this time, as long as Guan Ning's army is not allowed to enter the city and no one opens the door to Jian Nu, other variables are not worth mentioning.
He was afraid that the people led by Yang Fan would be defeated by Jiannu, so he specially asked Gong Yonggu to temporarily supervise Yongdingmen.
So, how could he go to Yang Fan's place?
The hot ball begins to reduce the flame spray, gradually stops heating, and the height begins to slowly decrease.
Ten minutes later, we landed steadily in the Wengcheng of Yongding Gate.
When Chongzhen, Empress Zhou, and Wang Chengen, who was holding the prince and princess, came out of the hanging basket, a feeling of the aftermath of a disaster came to their hearts. They were dazzled for a long time, and Empress Zhou even cried.
Originally, when Princess Zheng launched a rebellion tonight, it was already a dead end.
Concubine Zheng has calculated everything she can. She has no wings to fly.
After all, she has been planning for half her life, and this time she will put all her wealth and trump cards to the test.
If he wins, he will give his son the throne. If he loses, he will be destroyed together.
Anyway, she would just sit there and wait for death if she didn't activate it.
This is not her style. Being able to lure Dong Lin into trouble is an opportunity that only comes by chance but cannot be sought.
Last time, the two sides joined forces to get rid of Tianqi, which was intolerable to both parties. This time, they joined forces again to prepare to send the Chongzhen family away as well.
It's a pity that in the end, despite all calculations, Chongzhen didn't have such a back-up plan, and the success fell short at the last moment.
"Concubine, what should we do now?" Prince Fu asked, his face pale and his fat cheeks trembling.
"Immediately send someone to contact the cabinet and ask them to immediately mobilize Guan Ning's army into the city and clearly abolish the emperor's edict." Concubine Zheng said with a gloomy look.
This matter is now difficult to overcome.
When it comes to things like rebellion, there is no turning back when you draw your bow, and you can't get off the ship when you get on the boat.
Tonight, the cabinet ministers on night duty have been in Wenhua Hall and Wenyuan Pavilion.
During this time, the war situation was urgent. The emperor, nobles, and cabinet often spent all night in Wuying Hall to direct and handle various emergency military situations. The cabinet also often stayed in the Wenhua Palace area to prepare for the emperor to summon and draft imperial edicts at any time.
Tonight, it was Li Biao and Qian Longxi from Donglin who were on duty tonight. They sent all the cabinet ministers who were not from Donglin to go home to sleep. No one would doubt this. After all, everyone was delayed during this period.
I am exhausted. Your ministers can go home and take a rest.
But the first assistant and the second assistant are inseparable no matter what.
The two of them, one as the first assistant and the other as the second assistant, hold various seals, can draft imperial edicts, and can issue orders to the six ministries. They can do many things here.
But so far, Donglin has not directly rebelled.
In the fighting on the street, no one can prove that these people were instigated by them, because there is no evidence. The various forces are fighting tonight, and it is destined to be impossible to pursue afterwards.
And when the palace rebelled, they did not come forward.
Those who attacked the emperor were all from the Zheng Guifei line. Those who set fire early were not from the Donglin line. They were very cunning enough to avoid all possible dangers.
Qian Longxi held the prepared edict and listened quietly to the shouts of death outside. Li Biao stood next to him and stood with him in front of the open window on the second floor of Wenyuan Pavilion. Both of them were silent.
say.
If Concubine Zheng finishes her work, they will immediately take the edict and the ministers to welcome King Fu to Wuying Hall to succeed him. If Concubine Zheng fails, this edict will never exist. They will never fail.
or tied up.
"Eunuch Ning is here, it seems that the matter is finished." Qian Longxi saw Eunuch Ning and his people coming in a hurry. His excitement was beyond words, and he turned to Li Biao and said.
Wenyuan Pavilion is the Royal Library. In this era, libraries were generally built near the water, because libraries were most afraid of fire. In front of Wenyuan Pavilion is a pool, and around the pool are white marble railings.
A small stone bridge divides the pool into two parts. Crossing the bridge is the main entrance of Wenyuan Pavilion.
Li Biao had already obtained the detailed plan from Concubine Zheng. If Concubine Zheng was unwilling to tell the whole story, Li Biao and Qian Longxi would not have taken this trip into troubled waters.
In their opinion, the emperor is doomed tonight.
Xuanwu Gate was controlled by Concubine Zheng. As long as Jingshan's fifteen thousand troops entered the Forbidden City and surrounded the three rear palaces, Chongzhen would be unable to escape no matter what.
Li Biao and Qian Longxi had secretly deduced many times that the deployment of the Xinghe regiment was too scattered. The emperor had no time to mobilize the troops. Once the Qianqing Palace was besieged, the outcome was already doomed.
At this time, Mr. Ning was crossing the bridge.
They felt relieved and went downstairs together to the main hall on the first floor.
"Has the Qianqing Palace been settled? But now we need to organize the ministers to persuade King Fu to join the palace," Qian Longxi said with a smile.
They had already heard the explosion, and they knew without asking that the palace wall had been blown open. The army was pouring in. How could Zhang Geda, an old pawn, resist it?
"Prime Minister Li, Prime Minister Qian, things are in danger!"
Eunuch Ning is the personal eunuch of Concubine Zheng. He is also the liaison with the cabinet.
He said anxiously: "The faint king actually hid his backhand, took the queen, the prince, the eldest princess, and that bitch Wang Chengen, and flew away on a large Kong Ming lantern."
"That foolish king ran away. He ran away from the sky. Looking at the direction, he went to Nancheng. I don't know whether he went to Jingying or Qin Liangyu's place."
"What did you say? Say it again." Li Biao couldn't believe his ears.
Things have reached this point, and you actually told me that the cooked duck flew away.
And it flew away from the sky, how could it be more fantasy?
