When the balloon rose, the patrolling soldiers had already rushed outside the courtyard.

A huge monster was slowly rising from the courtyard. Under the faint moonlight, the monster was colorful and four tongues of flames were spewing out. There was something hanging under the monster, and there were two black shadows inside, and the black shadow was clearly still squirming.

A group of soldiers witnessed the giant monster soaring into the sky, with ghosts on it, and a huge sense of oppression and fear arose in their hearts. I don’t know whether it was a god or a demon, but I just felt that it was indescribable and indescribable. A Dashun soldier shouted out loud: "Monster! Run!" He ran away. The rest of the soldiers felt even more terrifying, so they dared not stay there. They ran away with a shout and ran away. The soldiers ran away from a long distance and found that there was nothing strange behind them. They stopped and breathed. When the patrol leader came to his senses, the monster had risen to the sky and could only see a small dot faintly. They thought that someone was shouting, "Someone wants to run away", why did a big monster come out again? No! If Chongzhen ran away, he would not have enough heads to cut.

When they called on the group of people to come to the palace again, Chongzhen was gone. It was nearly five o'clock, and a crescent moon hung in the air, but there was no monster in the sky! The eunuch who was knocked out was tampered by the princess. After drinking a dose of medicine, he was always stunned, with saliva flowing, and only a look of fear could be seen in his eyes. When he asked him, he had no response. No one in the entire palace could tell what was going on. In fact, except for the princess, the princes were also incredible.

The Dashun army and the soldiers fought fiercely and searched the mansion for a long time, but still found nothing. Then, with the exaggerated words of the patrol soldiers and the consent of the princes, the whole thing was imagined and speculated that the gods from heaven were inexplicably taken away Chongzhen. This was like the later legend of "ufo", well! The magic of "ufo" may be such a trick of deceiving oneself and deceiving others.

It cannot be said that nothing has been found. A letter to Emperor Dashun left by Chongzhen was found on Chongzhen's table. The letter was immediately sent to Prime Minister Dashun's office. Prime Minister Niu did not dare to be negligent and did not stop and immediately reported to Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng was hugging the newly-faired Concubine Zhang, and was still awakened by Niu Jinxing in his beautiful spring dream.

Boss Li Zicheng reluctantly got up. After hearing the myth of the magic weapon from heaven, he was surprised, but he was skeptical and read the letters left by Chongzhen patiently. After reading them, he thought about it and said nothing for a long time. Li Zicheng was like sitting in the spring breeze every day, and he heard good news at all times, and sometimes some unexpected surprises could come. The capital, which was originally filled with rumors of unfavorable Dashun, has changed since the public debt transactions started. After the release of the "Ta Kung Pao", the situation was even more beautiful. The rumors of unfavorable Dashun disappeared, and the remarks that were beneficial to Dashun gradually became mainstream. There are two most convincing points. One of them is that the government bonds rose to about five cents, and the other is that the wealthy families gave women a choice.

The concubine was very enthusiastic for a moment, contrary to the previous non-violent and non-cooperating attitude. Concubine Zhang was one of the contestants who happily ran after reading the "Ta Kung Pao". One more thing is that since Liu Zongmin became obsessed with hype of public debt, he devoted himself to public debt speculation. He had no time to exert his bad habits of doing evil and hurting lives on weekdays. The capital has since swept away the smog and became more harmonious. Today, Chongzhen abdicated and he ascended to the orthodox throne with justification. After the abdication ceremony, he shouted long live on the mountain and shouted at the moment, enjoying the honor of overlooking all living beings in the world and dominating the vast country. He was full of enthusiasm and ambition. In the afternoon, the government debt soared, which shows his people's will. Unexpectedly, the unexpected change was that Chongzhen and Wang Chengen escaped under heavy surveillance, as if there were real gods to help him.

Picking up Chongzhen's letter, Li Zicheng looked at it again:

Your Majesty the Emperor Dashun: I have now abdicated in Your Majesty, and my mission has been completed. Therefore, God has announced that I will leave, so I will feel at ease when I leave. Your Majesty can be worry-free where I go. Before the Qing Dynasty was destroyed, I vowed not to be an enemy of Your Majesty. If you disobey this vow, the heaven and the earth will not tolerate it! I hope that Your Majesty will command the military and civilians, resist the Qing Dynasty and pacify Liao, but I dare not say anything if I can help you with the subtle power! When I am leaving, I will present the "Ten Thousand Words" to Your Majesty! What I remember in the "Book" is my reflection on my own gains and losses for my 17 years in power, without any remarks, and I will list them one by one, hoping that Your Majesty may be able to learn from one or two. This is my wish. I hope Your Majesty loves the people and implements benevolent policies! My country is my thoughts and clears the enemy! My children are also your Majesty's people. I hope that Your Majesty will treat them well, and I will not dare to forget them!

······

Li Zicheng pondered himself, pondering silently for a while, and then muttering something. Seeing this, Niu Jinxing hesitated for a while, and asked:

"Your Majesty, do you think you should send troops to search the whole city? Or send troops to pursue it?"

Li Zicheng looked at Niu Jinxing, then looked into the distance, and said, "It's going to rain, mom wants to get married! Let him go!"

Niu Jinxing chewed it for a while, but he didn't know that Li Zicheng was helpless and spoke without saying anything, so he said this. Prime Minister Niu thought that the emperor had become much more artistic in cursing people now: "Mom wants to get married" - well, isn't this just cursing people by chance? "Mom is selling x"!

After all, Niu Jinxing's mind is fast, but he can get a self-consistent flattery with just one mind:

"Emperor, if it is the will of heaven, I think that God arranged to take Chongzhen away after Chongzhen abdicated the throne. This shows that the emperor ascended the throne because of heaven. After the abdication, taking Chongzhen away again had little impact on the overall situation. I privately guessed that God actually wanted to help the emperor upright!"

The flattering genius said something that made Li Zicheng's brows stretched out. Li Zicheng pondered for a moment and said:

"Well! The meaning of heaven is good! That's exactly!"

He smiled, turned to serious, and said:

"No matter how Chongzhen left, the whole city of Dasuo is now causing chaos. If it is really the meaning of a god, there will be no trace. How can we send troops to chase him? Besides, Chongzhen has a letter here, and you can read it carefully. Every word and sentence are all good intentions! I have thought about it again and again, so don't force Chongzhen too much. After all, the threat of the Qing soldiers is imminent, so let's let Chongzhen go first. Seeing that Chongzhen's intention is to treat the three princes as hostages, please treat them with kindness, and I will be sure."

Li Zicheng paused and continued, "What Chongzhen said in his book, "You can win the world on the back, but you can't control the world on the back." What a sincere statement! I won the world on the back and took the capital. After I took the capital, rumors a few days ago were rife and I almost wanted to touch my foundation. Mr. Liu's killing strategy was endless. It was not enough to win the hearts of the world. However, the two measures of the public debt transaction and the "Ta Kung Pao" were launched, and the situation suddenly changed greatly. Now the future is clear, and it is impossible to say that it is because of the rumors that Prime Minister Niu cut the ribbon and unveiled it. Therefore, the public debt transaction is a big "bull market". It is a beautiful story among the market. Have you heard of anything?"

Niu Jinxing couldn't help but say, "This is because of Your Majesty's benevolence and mercy. The world feels that Your Majesty's benevolence and has greatly increased its confidence in Dashun. Therefore, it is reasonable to increase the government debt. The ribbon-cutting of the weak minister is just to give His Majesty a prize for his benevolence and politics."

Although Niu Jinxing was timid in Li Zicheng's place, he still explained his arrangements when he returned to the mansion. He did not have to make any statement, just try to get Chongzhen.

Chongzhen and Wang Chengen floated in the air. When Wang Chengen saw the wind direction of the wind vane, he pointed to the northwest, smiled bitterly, and said to Chongzhen, who was cheering the alcohol blowtorch:

"I said, "Your Majesty, this is the wind blowing southeast! We want to run southeast, but we ended up going northwest."

When Chongzhen heard this, his head suddenly became big and he said anxiously: "I said, if it floats away and goes to the Mongolian grassland, it will be over!"

Wang Chengen laughed and said, "Master, our balloon cannot float that far. My impeller anemometer is inaccurate. The wind speed is about 6 meters per second now, and it is only over 20 kilometers per hour. We must land before dawn. I guess it would be good to float 170 to 80 miles. The only way now is to move closer to Wu Sangui."

Chongzhen frowned and said, "We are so floating, maybe we will float to the northwest of Li Zicheng. Wouldn't we get further and further away from Wu Sangui!"

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious! Let's try the hand-crank fan. Now it's southeast wind, mainly blowing north, or you can correct it to see if it can float northeast. Come on, I'll shake it first." As he said, Wang Chengen fixed the compass, aimed the hand-crank fan at the west, tried the hand-crank fan, and then shook it hard.

It was still the fourth update at this time, and the moonlight was hazy, but nothing could be seen underground. Just relying on the compass and the weather vane could not tell which direction it was floating in. Only one thing was confirmed. The balloon was floating northward, and it was floating in the northwest, northward, or even to the northeast due to the action of a hand-crank fan. No matter what, shake it hard, and you can go eastward by one minute!

Wang Chengen shook and shouted: "Try to destroy another alcohol blowtorch and make the balloon's height lower, so that the wind will be smaller and the hope will be higher in the east."

You are tired of shaking the two of you, so I will shake it until you can't shake it, so you have to take a break, drink water and eat. You stare at me, I stare at you, and then smile bitterly.

Chongzhen shook his head and said:

"Wang Cheng'en, please call you Du Yidian. If you call Wang Cheng'en, then call you Du Yidian, it's really not used to calling you Du Yidian. Hello! Brother, what will happen to Li Zicheng if you are caught by Li Zicheng? Just based on the ten thousand words book I wrote, will it be of some use? Maybe if you catch us, you won't chop us up!"

Wang Chengen sighed: "Your Majesty, you should call me Wang Chengen. I'm used to calling me like this. In my opinion, your ten thousand words book will definitely have some effect. But if we are caught, it would be a bit unrealistic to expect Li Zicheng to let us go. Do you think it was the "ten thousand words book" of Comrade Xiaoping in the later generations? When Lord Mao saw the "ten thousand words book" back then, he became a loving talent and made Xiaoping come back. But what era is this! I think it's a disaster! Keeping you is a disaster, and you must never redeem it. Li Zicheng is not a bodhisattva heart! Therefore, we must not let him catch it. At worst, he can shave his hair and become a monk, hide it and run away from the camera."

Chongzhen disagreed and said:

"It's not as unbearable as you said. Li Zicheng doesn't know where we went. Even if we have to chase and defend, it's in the southeast direction. We won't expect that we will run north!"

Wang Chengen was shocked when he heard this, and thought of a question, so he said, "Your words just now have a reminder. As I expected, the focus of Li Zicheng's defense is that the southeast direction is good, but he will never let Wu Sangui go, so Wu Sangui's direction is also the most dangerous. I believe that on the way from Beijing to Wu Sangui, Li Zicheng's people are already covered with Li Zicheng's people, and the surrounding areas around Wu Sangui's garrison will soon become a key area for control. If we cannot land directly at Wu Sangui's garrison and want to find him by land, we must have fallen into the trap."

Chongzhen nodded and said:

"What you mean is that we can't go find Wu Sangui, but we can't get close to Wu Sangui's area. Right! What should we do next? Tianjin's arrangements have become a busy and busy schedule. It's true that the plan never changes quickly!"

Wang Chengen pondered for a moment and said, "I think it would be better to do this after we landed, cross the latitude of Wu Sangui, and then try to go east, lie down on the day and walk at night, cross between Shanhaiguan and Yongping, turn south, and then go to Tianjin. Although this trip was difficult, it was safer. What did the emperor think?"

"That's all. But we have to land before dawn. I don't know how long the remaining alcohol can make the balloon float."

"Then keep shaking. You can count a little bit eastward, do your best and leave your destiny." Wang Chengen stretched out his arms and legs and began to shake the fan again.

······

When the last alcohol blowtorch was about to run out, no matter what, it could only land. At this time, the sky was already shining. The two of them didn't know where they were, but they only knew that there was no smoke below, so they decided to land here. As a result, the balloon fell and hung on a tree, which at least slowed down the descent. It took them a lot of effort to climb down from the tree.

The two of them had already dressed up on the balloons and dressed like small vendors. When Chongzhen was about to run away, he dyed his hair with the potion made by the princess. He looked much younger than the original Chongzhen. The original Chongzhen looked about fifty years old, and now he looked thirty-four and five years old, which was the same as Chongzhen's actual age. Wang Chengen was a little old-fashioned and looked in his early fifties. Then he burned the balloon basket with a fire, carried his bags, went to explore the way first, and then made the area.
Chapter completed!
