Beijing

The gate of Chengtian Gate

The army lined up, filling the streets and alleys of Chengtianmen, with neat military appearances.

Although there are many people, there is no noise at all. Bi He speaks in front of you, and everyone can clearly hear it.

"Hu Hai, you took the Xuantuqi brothers to search and block all the wealthy officials and royal relatives in the capital!

Focus on searching the east and west urban areas.

But don’t hurt people’s lives for the time being. Take care of them first and wait until the situation in the capital is slightly calmer before making a ruling!

The remaining troops, join me, rushed into the Forbidden City and captured Chongzhen alive!"

After Bi He gave the order, he immediately rushed into Chengtian Gate with a large group of troops and formally attacked the Forbidden City.

Although there were many imperial guards guarding the Chengtian Gate, the imperial guards here had already lost more than half of the imperial guards in the previous battle to defend the city, and the remaining ones fled a lot.

So, there are not many remaining guards in the end.

Moreover, the strength of these imperial guards is indeed a bit weak, and some of them may not have seen blood before. How could they compare to Bi He's troops who fought all the way to fight here?

In less than half a quarter of an hour, it was completely captured.

A large number of people flocked into the Forbidden City, and there was no dispersed in the middle of the journey. They headed straight to the Qianqing Palace with clear goals.

Because everyone knows that the Qianqing Palace is a place to attend court, and the emperor's bedroom and some relatively important places are basically next to the Qianqing Palace.

Therefore, it is not wrong to go to Qianqing Palace first.

...

Let’s talk about the Qianqing Palace, the main hall at the center of the main hall, which is the place where you usually go to court, at this time, it seems very empty.

In the huge hall, except for some eunuchs and palace maids who were still with Emperor Chongzhen, there were no more people, and there was no more noise than half a year ago.

It's quite a bit cold.

“None of them came?

Haha! Hahahahaha!

How great, how great!

This is my minister, this is my minister of the Ming Dynasty, and I don’t even want to accompany me to sacrifice my country!

They all say nicely, but they are all rats and ants!

What are they doing? Have they started to surrender to those thieves?

Yes, maybe they opened the city gates!

They turned against each other, they all turned against each other!”

Emperor Chongzhen had already become a little abnormal at this time. His long-term mental pressure and various defeat reports that had been pressing step by step were constantly devouring his mind.

Despair had already buried his soul. At this time, the news that Bi He's army had officially entered the Forbidden City was just a last handful of earth on the mound that buried his soul.

Just fill in the last tombstone!

Even eight years ahead of time, he finally chose to do that, choosing to enter his bedroom, and let someone send the prince away from Jinling, and let the queen and his daughter bury the country with him.

But the only difference is that on the other timeline that is unknowable, Li Zicheng's army plundered and killed the capital, and swept the Forbidden City for a long time before entering the core Qianqing Palace.

Bi He only distributed a small number of troops to collect gold and silver, while the team went straight to the destination in an orderly manner.

In addition, their military discipline has always been good, and they must obey orders during wars and are not allowed to go out privately to invade the people, and they are directly written in the first article of the military order.

Those who violate the situation will be executed immediately.

Therefore, no time was delayed in the middle, and the Qianqing Palace was quickly surrounded and attacked smoothly.

It may not be very appropriate to say that the attack is not appropriate. After all, there is no military guarding beside the Ganqing Palace, but the palace maids and eunuchs are resisting.

For those eunuchs and palace maids, as long as they were not particularly fierce in resistance, Bi He did not take any action, but ordered people to expel them to the side.

Because in his opinion, most of these palace maids and eunuchs are pitiful. Even if some of them may not be clean in their hands when they sit in high positions, there is no need to kill them now. You can wait until they are over and investigate them slowly before talking about them.

Moreover, seeing this situation, Bi He also felt a little desolate and sad, and even a hint of illusion that Chongzhen was not worthy of it.

At this last moment!

There were neither ministers who led the charge at the entrance of the Ganqing Palace, nor generals who could live up to death, nor guards who were generous to die.

There were only a few hundred eunuchs and palace maids guarding this side, still struggling, wanting to delay the time and let the people inside leave quickly.

They didn't know that Emperor Chongzhen had already wanted to sacrifice his life for his country, they just thought that they would drag him here for a few minutes so that he could escape smoothly.

But what use can more than a hundred eunuchs and palace maids who don’t even have weapons in their hands?

It was soon broken up by sticks and unsheathed scabbards.

Bi He led more than a hundred personal soldiers and successfully entered the back hall of the Ganqing Palace. He saw Chongzhen who was persuading Queen Zhou to commit suicide and sacrifice his country.

Maybe it was because it was eight years ahead of schedule that Concubine Tian was still favored, so the relationship between the emperor and the empress was not as close as eight years later.

Therefore, Empress Zhou was a little hesitant and did not go directly to the secret room to commit suicide, but was crying for what to do if her child was young.

"Why didn't Your Majesty die first to be an example? Wouldn't that be better?"

Bi He's biological mother was killed by his father's favored concubine and killed his wife, so she hated the husband's behavior of forcing his wife.

Seeing this situation at this time, the little unbearableness and pity that he had developed towards Chongzhen just before entering the palace was just a guard of eunuchs and palace maids at the door disappeared.

All that is left is disgust.

After shouting angrily, he immediately signaled his personal soldiers to come forward and take them down quickly.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen's three sons had not had time to send them out, and the eldest prince was only nine years old.

The only thing that was slightly difficult to deal with was Emperor Chongzhen himself, because he was still holding a sword in his hand.

However, an emperor who was pampered and dignified was not the opponent of Bi He, the personal soldiers who came out of the bloody rain of the corpse. They were all captured in a short time, and the personal soldiers were not injured at all!

Bi He originally wanted someone to temporarily detain them and detain them, and then talk about it after the palace has been rectified.

But before he could speak, Emperor Chongzhen leaned forward with force and wiped his neck directly at the sword pressing against his neck.

Blood surging like a spring.

Of course, if someone is sent to treat him urgently at this time, it is still possible to be rescued. At most, it is just a little hurt in the throat and it may be a little difficult to speak.

However, Bi He would not have bothered him to worry about a king who was still disgusted by him.

Just say:

"Send someone to pass on the order, Chongzhen died for his country!

Starting today, the Ming Dynasty was destroyed!
