Wang Chengen chased after him, but he couldn't keep up with Zhu Youjian.
Zhu Youjian, with disheveled hair, walked faster and faster in the Forbidden City. He ran from Kunning Palace to Qianqing Palace, and then ran west from Qianqing Palace to Xihua Gate.
All the Dongchang fans on the Xihua Gate had already fled, leaving only two old eunuchs standing on the city gate in panic. The two old eunuchs were low-level housekeepers of the Supervisor of Ceremonies and were over fifty years old. They were eunuchs. After she died, she stayed in the palace for many years. She had no relatives or friends outside the palace, and she couldn't do much work when she was old. Escape would be a dead end.
At this time, they heard that the new army was defeated, and the two old eunuchs were determined to be buried with the Ming Dynasty. They sat helplessly on the city gate, watching groups of eunuchs rushing out of the door.
At this time, they saw Zhu Youjian running towards him with disheveled hair and white clothes. The two old eunuchs did not understand who this was.
Zhu Youjian ran all the way to Xihua Gate and stood in the small square beside the door for a while, looking coldly at the eunuchs and middle-aged maids who were fleeing outside the palace. Those fleeing palace people also did not Knowing Zhu Youjian's identity, no one pays attention to him.
It wasn't until Wang Chengen ran after him out of breath and shouted "Your Majesty" from behind that everyone realized that this man running at night with his hair disheveled was the emperor Zhu Youjian.
The two old eunuchs on the city gate suddenly opened their mouths, looking at the emperor 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 will never have the opportunity to talk to the emperor in their entire lives. In a word. In the eyes of these two low-level eunuchs at Xihua Gate, the Emperor was originally an unattainable existence.
However, at this time, the lost emperor stood alone by the palace wall.
If "the Ming Dynasty is dead" was just a rumor before, seeing Zhu Youjian now, the two old eunuchs really understood what the Ming Dynasty was dead. The two old men suddenly felt their noses were sore and couldn't hold back their tears. The blood flowed down as soon as he stopped, and he knelt on the city gate with a plop, lying on the ground.
However, there are not many people like these two old eunuchs.
Hearing Wang Chengen's shouts, the people in the palace inside and outside the city gate just glanced at Zhu Youjian and stopped paying attention.
The Ming Dynasty was over, everyone was on the run. Even if the emperor had his own guards, no one was in awe. What's more, Zhu Youjian was already in a state of desolation, with disheveled hair and white clothes, and had lost the majesty of the emperor.
When the emperor loses his majesty, he is no longer the emperor.
Everyone was busy running for their lives, and no one knew what Li Zhi's policy was. If he left the city late, he would be at greater risk of being picked out and beheaded by the Tiger and Ben troops.
No one bowed to Zhu Youjian, and no one looked at Zhu Youjian.
Zhu Youjian, who was ignored by no one, was extremely embarrassed, and he took a step forward and continued to run forward. He circled the Forbidden City, bypassed the majestic Huangji Palace, passed the crowded Donghua Gate, and finally walked out of the Forbidden City from behind the Imperial Garden. .
With one foot deep and one foot shallow, Zhu Youjian walked onto Meishan.
The extremely tired Wang Chengen finally caught up with Zhu Youjian.
He looked at Zhu Youjian who was walking forlornly towards the coal mountain, holding on to the emperor's trousers.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, you can't commit suicide! Your Majesty, we can escape! The world is huge, as long as your Majesty remains anonymous, where can't he hide? The country and the country are gone. Saving your life can be regarded as passing on the blood to your ancestors. ah!"
Zhu Youjian raised his eyebrows and looked at Wang Chengen coldly.
Wang Chengen was glared at by Zhu Youjian. He didn't dare to grab Zhu Youjian's trousers anymore and knelt on the ground helplessly.
Zhu Youjian took a breath and said: "Wang Chengen, let's go! Go to the inner treasury to get a hundred taels of gold and escape to the west! Go to Gansu and Ningxia to find a customs broker to settle down and do some small business to make a living."
Wang Chengen cried loudly, kowtowed to the ground desperately, and shouted: "Your Majesty, if I don't run away, you can't die. Your Majesty, you are the Emperor, and the Emperor cannot die."
When Zhu Youjian heard Wang Chengen's words, he closed his eyes helplessly.
"Wang Cheng'en, the Ming Dynasty has died, and I am no longer the emperor. From now on, the emperor will be Li Zhi. You have had a relationship with Li Zhi. You should go to Tianjin to serve. Maybe you can also make a fortune."
Wang Chengen's body trembled and he knelt on the ground without saying a word.
Zhu Youjian stopped talking nonsense with Wang Chengen and continued walking towards Meishan.
While walking, Zhu Youjian found an old tree with slanting branches.
Walking under the tree, Zhu Youjian was silent for a long time.
Wang Chengen followed Zhu Youjian and stood behind Zhu Youjian for a long time, but suddenly saw Zhu Youjian took off his Shu silk belt from his waist and tied the white ribbon to the tree.
Zhu Youjian grabbed his belt and made sure that the belt was indeed tightened, and then he covered all his hair on his face.
"The Ming Dynasty died in my hands, and I have no face to see my ancestors... But if the scholars were not so greedy and crazy, why would I need to drink Li Zhi's poison?"
"I am not the king who has subjugated the country, but all the officials in the world are ministers who have subjugated the country."
Zhu Youjian 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 plop.
"Your Majesty..."
However, there was a crisp "pop" sound from a gunshot not far away, more than ten meters away.
There are people around.
Zhu Youjian trembled, looked around in fear, and suddenly stopped committing suicide.
Not only were there people around? There were actually many people on Meishan Mountain at this time! After the gunshot, countless Tianjin secret guards wearing new military uniforms rushed up following the sound of the gunfire. Anpingbo Han Jinxin grabbed the rope and walked in front, leading
Hundreds of people cheered and walked to the tree where Zhu Youjian was.
The disheveled Zhu Youjian took a step back and looked at Han Jinxin in surprise.
"Han Jinxin?"
Zhu Youjian knew Han Jinxin and could understand why Han Jinxin was able to sneak into the capital. As the leader of Li Zhi's secret guards, Han Jinxin had a hundred ways to sneak into the city gate. And it was normal for there to be hundreds of Tianjin secret guards in the capital. But Zhu Youjian
What I don't understand is why Han Jinxin appeared on Meishan at this time.
It was impossible for others to know that he wanted to commit suicide in Meishan. How could Han Jinxin organize a search here in advance?
Is Li Zhi really a god who descends to earth and knows everything?
Zhu Youjian did not know that it was known to everyone in later generations that he was hanged in Meishan after the country's collapse. Although this idea suddenly appeared at this time, Li Zhi, who came from later generations, knew that this idea would inevitably appear.
Han Jinxin waved his hand and asked the secret guards to go up and tie up Zhu Youjian.
Zhu Youjian looked at the wolf-like secret guards and did not dare to resist. Wang Chengen, however, could not bear the humiliation of the emperor and desperately rushed forward to fight with the secret guards. The last secret guard could not bear it anymore and beat Wang Chengen with a stick.
Knocked out.
Zhu Youjian looked at the blood on Wang Chengen's forehead and closed his eyes helplessly. After being pushed by the secret guard, Zhu Youjian was escorted back to the Forbidden City.
I don’t know since when, a banner with the word "Qi" has been erected on the Forbidden City.
