Seeing such a bleak situation, Emperor Chongzhen was almost anxious to cry. He lamented, "why here! Why here."
Emperor Chongzhen never thought that the great Ming Empire would have such a bleak situation today.
When he became emperor ten years ago, he was in high spirits and vowed to be the Lord of ZTE Daming.
Ten years later, instead of ZTE Daming, he plunged Daming into a situation that was about to collapse.
Such a tragic scene is beyond his imagination. How miserable is Daming now? Nominally, they also have seven provinces in the north and millions of troops, but the most tragic place is that their millions of troops are outside, while their most core capital is surrounded by the enemy, besieged and destroyed.
Emperor Chongzhen had planned for the early Dynasty, but when he saw such a scene, he felt desperate. The ministers didn't come, and he had no choice.
Emperor Chongzhen asked Wang Chengen, "have I ever failed these officials? When the country is in crisis, these people have actually made grass with the wind?"
The emperor was so sad and desperate to say such words, and Wang Chengen felt it. He was really loyal to the emperor Chongzhen. He was worried about the humiliation of his officials and his death. Now he has reached the point where sorrow is no greater than death of heart. Wang Chengen doesn't know how to answer.
Xu Jianqiang said angrily: "The emperor has never failed to live up to these officials. The emperor only eats a few small dishes and wears ragged clothes every day. Which of these officials is not rich in clothes and food, big fish and meat, and the country is in danger. They are all like a wall grass. They fall with the wind, shameless villains, unworthy sons and petty officials. This ordered the royal guards to arrest them one by one and kill them on the spot as an example."
Emperor Chongzhen said sadly, "is it useful to do this? Is it the problem of several people that the people's hearts are broken so far?"
Until now, Emperor Chongzhen still didn't understand what he did wrong and how he would make the world and rivers fall into such a tragic situation.
Not only did emperor Chongzhen not understand, but even his cronies Wang Chengen and Xu Jianqiang did not understand. He was a good emperor. He loved the people like a son, cared about the country and the people, and never wanted to enjoy. He didn't even like beauty. He threw himself into the political affairs of the court and hoped to do more things.
However, the mountains and rivers have collapsed to the extreme. All kinds of domestic and foreign troubles have come, and the rise of Liu thieves has become the last straw to crush Daming.
For a moment, the whole imperial city fell into the desolate wind and rain of destruction.
Among them, even the most optimistic Xu Jianqiang could not imagine that the situation collapsed so quickly. One moment they had boundless scenery, and the next moment they fell into the land of a defeated country.
In the imperial study, the emperor felt sorry for himself and had no intention of political affairs. Xu Jianqiang and Wang Chengen themselves had no choice.
Xu Jianqiang had no way. He didn't know how to persuade the emperor, so he had to go out of the imperial city and return to the East Hall. He was thinking about what kind of way to think of, which could save the defeat.
Others have already accepted their fate and conceded defeat. They are waiting for the country to collapse. Only Xu Jianqiang does not accept his fate and does not admit defeat. He can not accept his fate, let alone admit defeat. If he accepts his fate and accepts defeat, it means there is no place to die.
Others can take refuge in the Liu family, but only he can't. He can imagine how miserable the end will be if he falls into the hands of Liu Yuanqiao's father and son.
At the same time, Nie Chunyu, a gangster in the capital, was terrified. He used to be a gangster. Now he has become the commander of the royal guards. He can be called a senior official of the hall. However, this official came a little late and paid an extremely heavy price.
Before long, the official had undergone earth shaking changes, which he had never expected.
It was not easy to become a senior official of Daming. As a result, Daming is almost over. The enemy is coming to the city, and they will be liquidated.
Nie Chunyu knew that the Chinese army would let go of other civil and military officials in the capital, that is, Xu Jianqiang and Nie's father and son.
Under Xu Jianqiang's deception, Nie's father and son have formed a dead enemy with the Chinese army. They have killed so many dark stakes and spies of the Chinese army. The hatred between the two sides cannot be dissolved.
Nie Chunyu was arrogant and domineering. He is qualified to be arrogant and domineering. However, since the Chinese army besieged the city, he can't be arrogant. He is like a lost dog. Self ridicule is that a plucked Phoenix is not as good as a chicken.
Nie Chunyu knew that on the day when the Chinese army broke the city, he was one of the first people on the blacklist to be killed, and he would be killed very cruelly, and would not even get the chance to be punished. Zhou Hui, the Bureau of the National Security Bureau of the Chinese Empire, hated him to the bone, and would publicly threaten to cut Nie Chunyu thousands of knives and ashes.
Nie Chunyu was very worried. He sighed, "Duke Xu, we have to think of a way back. When the city is broken, none of us will survive."
Xu Jianqiang said, "do you think there is still a chance? Liu Bu came to lead the troops and brought all the elite troops. Looking at the imperial court, who else can say that we can beat Liu Bu? We don't have much chance except the return of Hong Chengchou and Yang Sichang!"
It's not that Xu Jianqiang doesn't want to say something to boost morale. It's not that he wants to pour cold water on Nie Chunyu. It's true. The situation is extremely dangerous.
Nie Chunyu was pale. Now that the temple was on fire, he panicked one by one. In order to become an official, he paid a great price. All his grandchildren died and two of his four sons died. If he could be an official for a long time, it doesn't matter. If his son died, he can regenerate, and if his grandchildren died, he can regenerate, but the Daming is over, he can't be an official.
Nie Chunyu once thought that no matter what he did, he could not be forgiven by the Chinese Empire. Once the Chinese Empire sat in the world, the world was so big that there was no place for him. He lamented, "what should I do?"
Xu Jianqiang said, "everyone hates mice. He can only live in the dark, but has anyone killed all mice in the past thousands of years?"
Xu Jianqiang made it clear that even if they can live, they can't live aboveboard. They have to live in the dark like mice.
Nie Chunyu regretted very much. This step was a mistake. He pressed the wrong treasure too early. He lost miserably.
Nie Chunyu was originally a man of great ideas. Now he was really confused. He said, "what should I do now?"
Xu Jianqiang said coldly, "the only hope of the imperial court is the return of Hong Chengchou and Yang Sichang's army, but we must also be prepared. Once the city is broken, how we should live is the key."
Xu Jianqiang and Nie Chunyu are not willing to lead the neck and kill. He is not the kind of person who knows that the enemy will cut him thousands of times and remains indifferent at home. He has to flee and continue to struggle. Even if the result is worse, it will not be worse than being cut thousands of times by others, right?
Nie Chunyu sighed and said, "Duke Xu, you've hurt me badly."
He really regretted it now. In the past, he used to be the ladle handle of the gangsters in the capital. He was happy with fat chicken, old wine and beautiful food every day. Now, Daming doesn't protect it at any time. He has become a lost dog.
When he became an official, he was separated from the past. He wanted to go back and continue to be a gangster. It was impossible. He was very desperate. Could he only live like a mouse in the future?
Xu Jianqiang said: "several generals of the city gate must keep an eye on them. Their families must be controlled to prevent them from having an affair with foreign enemies and offering the city gate."
Nie Chunyu said, "I'll do it right away." there's no way.
The power of the army is in the hands of the Ministry of war and the cabinet, that is, in the hands of the emperor and the cabinet. Xu Jianqiang and Nie Chunyu have no way to get involved. Moreover, they don't know about military and state affairs.
Now the only thing they can do is to prevent these generals from preparing for rebellion without telling the emperor.
Nie Chunyu hurriedly took a group of people to the home of Fang Musi, the guard of Zhengyang gate, and was ready to take care of his family.
But Fang Bo, the Chamberlain of Fang Mu Si, was very angry. He said, "the royal guards are inferior to dogs. What do you want? In broad daylight, if you don't drive the TNA people, you can't rebel?"
In the past, anyone who dares to yell at the royal guards will be arrested if they go to catch people. In addition to those senior officials who need driving posts, where else will there be driving posts?
Nie Chunyu sat on a tall horse, wearing a flying fish suit, which set off his great power. He said loudly, "it's not easy to drive a post. When you get to Zhenfu division, you will naturally see it."
Fang Bo said: "in broad daylight, the world is bright, and the royal guards dare to arrest people openly. Don't they want to rebel?" the housekeeper said fiercely: "unless there is the emperor's will or the driving post of the Ministry of punishment, anyone who dares to arrest people will be killed."
After the housekeeper said this, dozens of families with knives poured out of the house. These servants rushed out like wolves and confronted the royal guards. If you dare to catch people, I dare to use knives with you.
Nie Chunyu's face changed. He said loudly, "this day hasn't changed. Do you want to rebel?"
Fang Bo said coldly, "it's you who rebelled. You dare to arrest people without driving posts. What's the difference with rebellion? If you can't say one today, we won't give in even if we fight with you."
The other side was so tough, but Nie Chunyu hesitated.
In the past, with this flying fish suit, as long as their identity was revealed, even if the other party was a civil servant, they were scared to pee, not to mention the families of these military officials. They said they would catch it. Now it's good that they dared to ask him for a driving post, but they didn't dare to fight openly.
It is estimated that many people can see that the Ming Dynasty is going to change, and the authority of the imperial court is not easy to use. That is why a small servant of the deputy commander in chief dares to confront him, the commander of the royal guards.
