(Thank you for your monthly ticket for the lone wolf who took off naked~~)

Zhou Hou was sobbing. When he heard that the emperor had arrived, he hurried to the courtyard to pick him up. Chongzhen was considering that he wanted to kill the palace servants himself, so he did not enter the main hall of Kunning Palace, but entered the side hall in the east. Zhou Hou followed behind, and the eunuchs and palace maids surrounded the door to serve him, trembling and breathing.

Chongzhen sat on the dragon throne and ordered the queen to sit down, and said, "The situation is gone, the country is destroyed, you are the mother of the country, and it's time to go."

The palace maids and eunuchs knew that the queen was about to commit suicide, and they all hugged the ground and cried.

Zhou Hou was ready to commit suicide, nodded to show that he understood, but did not get up.

Chongzhen urged: "No further ado, you are the lord of the six palaces. You should set an example for your concubines. Go back to your bedroom and hang yourself!"

Zhou Hou covered his face with his sleeves and choked and said, "Your Majesty, don't urge me, I will never insult you. Let me wait for a moment. Princess, I can't see my three sons before I die!"

“Oh ~~”

Chongzhen sighed: "Crown Prince, King Yong and King Ding, I have arranged someone to escort out of the palace, don't see you."

Zhou Hou was just crying, and tried his best to resist crying, in order not to make Chongzhen cry so hard that he mistook the major matter. At this time, he could no longer bear it and cried bitterly.

Chongzhen was also sad, looking at the queen in the crying voice, with nothing to say. He knew that the queen was not afraid of death, but was reluctant to part with her three sons. So he wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "Crown Prince, King Yong and King Ding should be able to send them out of the palace safely. Even if they cannot restore the country in the future, they can be safe for the rest of their lives. The inner city is about to be destroyed. Go to die quickly. I will commit suicide soon and die for the country. We and my wife follow each other underground."

Zhou Hou said sadly: "Your Majesty, I have married you for 17 years and I never dared to say much about national affairs. If you had heard my words, how could you be today!"

Chongzhen understood that what Zhou Hou wanted to say was about fleeing to the south, and whimpered, "It was because the ministers mistook me, but now it's too late to regret it. You'd better die quickly. If you die, I'll die. Don't wait for the thieves to break the imperial city. Even if you want to die, it's too late. We and my wife will meet underground soon. You're waiting for me!"

"Woooooooooooooo~~"

Zhou Hou covered his face and cried loudly, staggering towards the bedroom. A group of palace maids also cried and followed. They would serve Zhou Hou and hang three-foot white silk and commit suicide by hanging a beam. They wanted to be the mother of the Ming Dynasty, have a harmonious temperament, and have a good ending, but they ended up not being able to end up being a good end. How could they be so heartbroken?

Chongzhen's tears also blurred his eyes, but he held back his tears and turned to instruct: "You go and report to Empress Yi'an. Both the emperor and the empress will commit suicide and sacrifice themselves for the country. Now that the country is in ruins, the emperor asks her to commit suicide by hanging herself, so don't ruin the decency of the ancestors!"

"Yes, woooooooooooo~~"

A palace maid ran away crying.

Chongzhen said again: "Go and send an order to send Empress Yuan, Princess Changping and Princess Zhaoren over, and our family will die together."

"Yes, woooooooooooo~~"

Several more palace maids left crying.

Then Chongzhen issued another decree. The women he had summoned to him, regardless of whether they had a title or not, would first gather in Qianxuan's palace and wait to be summoned to Kunning Palace for disposal. That is, they would be ordered to commit suicide. Those who refused to commit suicide were killed by him. They would never stay and lose their virginity.

"Come on wine! Come on wine!"

After a series of decrees were issued, Chongzhen howled like crazy.

A palace maid brought the wine immediately.

"Pop wine!"

Wei Qinghui poured a glass full of golden cups. Chongzhen picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and said, "Fill the wine!"

The imperial wine brewed in the palace is usually not very powerful, but Chongzhen drank about ten cups and was already a little drunk. His expression was generous and calm, as if he had put life and death aside. His eyes were red and he was crazy. The palace maids and eunuchs all lowered their heads, dared not look up, and even dared to cry, for fear that Chongzhen would kill people when he was drunk and swung his sword, and then committed suicide.

The hall actually became quiet strangely.

But suddenly, Wei Qinghui's ears moved, and she heard a faint shouting of killing from outside the palace, which was not close to the palace city, as if it was far away.

"Your Majesty, listen to the movements outside!"

Wei Qinghui shouted quickly.

Chongzhen was stunned and listened to it. Sure enough, he also heard the shouts of killing and immediately walked out quickly. When he arrived in the yard, he listened carefully, and the sound came from the direction of Chaoyangmen to the east.

"Master, is it Wu Sangui's reinforcements coming?"

Wei Qinghui shouted excitedly.

Chongzhen also trembled all over. Logically speaking, Li Zicheng had already entered the city and there should be no more battles. Even if there were, the eunuchs guarding the imperial city were fighting against the bandits. Their voices should be very close, not far away from the sky, as if there were no one.

At this time, if an army attacks Chaoyang Gate, who else will be there except Wu Sangui’s Guanning Iron Cavalry?

"Okay, Wu Sangui is a loyal minister. I want to reward him greatly and grant him the title of Duke Pingxi, but no, grant him the title of King Pingxi!"

Chongzhen screamed violently, then his face changed and he cried out anxiously: "Hurry, save the queen quickly!"

Wei Qinghui and Wu Wanrong rushed into the queen's bedroom like a whirlwind, and ordered the palace maid and eunuch guarding outside to open the door. They saw that Zhou Hou was already hanging on the beam of the house and were twitching and struggling.

"Hurry, hurry, let go of the Empress!"

A group of eunuchs and palace maids rushed in, some supporting Zhou Hou's legs, some supporting her waist, and some supporting her back, putting Zhou Hou down.

"Ahem~~"

Fortunately, Zhou Hou was worried that he was too beautiful before hanging himself. After his death, the body was humiliated. He tucked the collar of his clothes and collar one by one. It took time and was not dead yet. After he was rescued, he slapped him, slowly opened his eyes, coughed for a while before asking, "What's wrong? Why did you save me?"

Wu Wanrong cried and said, "The Good Master learned that Wu Sangui's reinforcements were coming and attacking Chaoyang Gate. If the bandits soon entered the city, they would not have time to make arrangements. They should be able to attack soon. We don't have to die!"

"Blessed by Buddha, blessed by ancestors!"

Zhou Hou shed tears of excitement, and then shouted: "Crown Prince, where are the two kings of Yongding? Have the emperor sent them out? Let the emperor call them back!"

"oops!"

Wei Qinghui screamed strangely, ran outward.

Chongzhen also thought of this and had already sent the palace maids and eunuchs to find Wang Chengen first, and also told Empress Yian and some palace concubines who were originally planning to be killed.

In the Forbidden City, vitality is rekindled, and everyone is looking forward to Wu Sangui leading the army to come.

...

Outside Chaoyang Gate, the bandits are attacking with all their might.

The Mongolian cavalry had a unique skill, called flying around the city. The horses were galloping along the city walls and shooting clusters of arrows onto the city. The cavalry of the bandits hurried behind and fired guns at the city heads. The Shun army could not raise its head. There were dozens of strong men holding chisels and axes and chopping the city gates.

It is also thanks to Li Zicheng's lack of troops, which allowed him to attack the city so calmly.

Li Zicheng attacked Beijing with only more than 70,000 troops. He was defeated in Tongzhou, with 70,000 left. There were seven gates in the outer city of Beijing and eight gates in the inner city. In addition, Zhengyang Gate and Chongwen Gate that bordered the inner and outer cities, there were still thirteen gates left. At first, Li Zicheng planned to enter the thirteen gates at the same time to create a grand spirit of 200,000 troops entering Beijing. When the enemy troops were approaching quickly, they were too late to change their plans, so they could only grit their teeth and enter the city.

The main force of the Shun Army was distributed in the North City, entering the city from Desheng Gate and Anding Gate. There were not many troops on the east and south sides, and when they entered the city, they drove straight in. There were only a few hundred people who were truly stationed at the city gate.

Although there were artillery left by the Ming army on the top of the city, there were more than 10,000 people under Chaoyang Gate, with guns and arrows. The firepower was extremely fierce, so the defenders could not raise their heads.

Secondly, even if the defenders risked their lives to fire the artillery, the bandits attacked the city next to the city, located in the dead corner of the artillery shooting, and could not fire it. That is, they fired a few shots at the beginning, killing and injuring nearly a hundred Mongolian cavalry. After that, there was no chance to fire the artillery. Instead, the Mongolians felt embarrassed. The horses were rumbling and the arrows were shooting as rain. They had to find the place back.

The defenders knew that the enemy was digging the city gate outside, but they were helpless, and reinforcements would not be able to arrive in a short period of time.

"Hurry up, hurry up, add more force!"

With the jingling sound, the thick city gate was split inch by inch, and uneven holes gradually appeared, and the Shun Army soldiers in the door opening could be seen.

"shot!"

The soldiers of the bandits raised their guns and shot inside.

It is difficult to shoot from the inside out, but it is easy to shoot from the outside into the inside. A loud bang, sporadic screams came, and the soldiers became even more excited. In a moment, the entrance of the cave had expanded to half a person's height.

Confirm that there was no Shun army in the door, several soldiers entered and opened the city gate.

In an instant, the sound of hooves was loud and the cavalry rushed in like a whirlwind!
