Concubine Tian was really stunned. She was still young and didn't want to die, but you wanted her to die, and she had to die. He burst into tears, so he had to say, "let my concubine bathe and change clothes, say goodbye to her ancestors, and then kill herself?"
Chongzhen heard the noise and the sound of shouting and killing was getting closer and closer. At this time, where are you allowed to bathe and change clothes and say goodbye to your ancestors? Even if there is a whole body under the collapse of the country, it is good. He said with a grimace: "where is so much trouble!"
He took the sword and stabbed it into the chest of concubine Tian. A generation of beauties lost their beauty. Chongzhen could only lament: "how could he be born in the emperor's house!"
This is his woman, the imperial concubine who was ordered to be canonized. He won't allow her to fall into the hands of thieves. Humiliated by thieves, he can only take her on the road in person.
The person he loved personally sent her to hell, which cut his heart like a knife. Even though his heart was like a knife, he didn't waver at all. He then went to other palaces and killed several imperial concubines one by one.
Then I came to the Ciqing palace where empress dowager Zhang Yan of Yi'an was located. At this time, the Ciqing palace was also in a mess. Palace maids and eunuchs scrambled to flee. Many of them also took their belongings. When they saw the emperor, they were not afraid. They just lowered their heads and walked aside.
Emperor Chongzhen, carrying a bloody sword, rushed into the main hall of Ciqing palace. He asked empress dowager Zhang Yan to see him and said, "sister-in-law! The emperor's younger brother is not talented and has no way to govern the country, which makes the Shenzhou lost. As a member of the royal family, we must not fall into the enemy's hands. Please kill yourself and serve the country."
Zhang Yan met Chongzhen after hanging the curtain. She knew that things were bad now, but she never expected that the situation would deteriorate to such a degree.
The Emperor himself came to give her a death.
Zhang Yan is a famous person. In the 34th year of Wanli, Zhang Yan was born in Xiangfu County, Kaifeng, Henan Province.
Zhang Yan was pure and quiet when she was a child. At the age of seven, Ru worked hard, swept the yard, washed and cooked everything. When you have nothing to do, you can be alone in a room, learn to do needlework and read history books. Thirteen or fourteen years old, slim and beautiful, unparalleled in the world. After Zhang Guoji, her father's student, lost her spouse, Zhang Yan took care of her sister-in-law herself
In February of the first year of the apocalypse, Zhang Yan, then 15 (virtual years old), entered the palace for a beauty pageant and was named Queen in April. His father, Zhang Guoji, valued women and was granted taikangbo.
Zhang Yan has a solemn personality and a queen's demeanor. She is a woman who can be a mother in the world. She despises the joint actions of eunuch Wei Zhongxian and the holy wife of apocalypse. She often mentions their mistakes in front of Apocalypse several times, and has personally punished Hakka as a queen. Therefore, Wei Zhongxian and Hakka hate her to the bone, but because Zhang Yan is a queen, Unlike other concubines, they are generally easy to deal with. After several greedy murders, they are difficult to succeed in the end.
In the third year of apocalypse, empress Zhang Yan was pregnant and suddenly had low back pain. She wanted to find a palace maid who could massage. Hakka was afraid that the queen would give birth to a prince, so he made an idea and asked Wei Zhongxian to arrange his own people to pretend to be the queen and deliberately beat him with heavy hands when twisting his waist for the queen. As a result, empress Zhang gave birth to a stillborn child, namely huaichong crown prince Zhu ciran. Queen Zhang has not given birth since. This incident later became the tenth charge of Yang Lian's impeachment of Wei Zhongxian.
Empress Zhang played a great role in the accession of King Zhu Youjian. Shortly before the Apocalypse was about to die, it was said that the Hakka Family arranged pregnant palace maids to enter the harem to pretend to be the children of the apocalypse and want to do LV Buwei's poison trick.
The Apocalypse said to empress Zhang that Wei Zhongxian told me that two people in the harem were pregnant and became emperor after giving birth to a male.
Empress Zhang Yan objected and believed that Wang Zhu Youjian should be established as soon as possible. After a long standoff, Queen Zhang persuaded the Apocalypse to pass the throne to her brother. Zhu Youjian wanted to refuse. Zhang Yan walked out from behind the screen and said, "Uncle Huang is duty bound, and things are urgent. I'm afraid something will happen."
Xinwang Zhu Yucai officially inherited the throne and was named Chongzhen.
The Apocalypse always cherishes empress Zhang. When he was dying, he entrusted empress Zhang to his younger brother, King Xin Zhu Youjian, and ordered him to say, "the central palace has been with me for seven years. He has always been honest and persuasive, and has benefited a lot. In the future, he will be young and widowed, good and compassionate, and do good things in the central palace." after Zhu Youjian ascended the throne, he also respected his sister-in-law and honored Zhang Yan as "Queen Yi'an". In Chongzhen Dynasty, she was respected and treated by Chongzhen.
Since she was granted the title of Empress Dowager Yi'an, Zhang Yan has been living in Ciqing palace, regardless of world affairs and taking care of herself for thousands of years. Usually, Emperor Chongzhen is very strict with him. Even though the emperor is very economical, there is no reduction in Zhang Yan's various expenses. In many things, she also shows great respect to this imperial sister-in-law and Empress Dowager.
But empress dowager Zhang Yan didn't expect that one day, she advocated and supported Wang Zhu Youjian to quickly ascend the throne. That was to hope that he would revive the Dynasty and turn the tide. ZTE Daming, of course, also hoped that he would repay himself, but she never thought that the emperor Chongzhen, the emperor of Shengming in her eyes, had tossed Daming away, The reward to him is not to support her for thousands of years, but to let her commit suicide.
Zhang Yan was really stunned. She was only 30 years old and in a golden age. Although her husband died early, she enjoyed her glory and wealth. It would be good to think like this all her life.
Who knows, the emperor forced him to commit suicide today. Although the emperor said it politely and politely, there was no doubt in his tone. This was the will, not negotiation.
Zhang Yan pondered for a long time, and finally said, "when we bathe and change clothes in the palace and say goodbye to our ancestors, let's end it by ourselves? It won't damage the reputation of the royal family."
Zhang Yan also knows that as the queen of the Ming Empire and the most distinguished person, Daming has perished, and she doesn't have to expect any good life. Instead of falling into the hands of the enemy and being humiliated, it's better to have three feet of white Ling and die for the whole country.
At this time, Chonghuan was also ashamed and humiliated to the extreme. Speechless, facing the Royal sister-in-law who was as kind to him, he knelt on the ground as a 95 year old, knocked his head three times and staggered away.
Emperor Chongzhen came to the Kunning palace. At this time, the Kunning palace was in a mess. The ground was full of garbage and all kinds of objects. The palace maids and eunuchs were gone and should have escaped.
Empress Zhou is holding two young princes and the princess crying. Empress Zhou is a smart person. She knows the result of her family.
Since ancient times, the queen of the subjugated country can come to any good end. The best thing is to commit suicide, but she really can't give up. She is only in her thirties. Her son and daughter are so young and lovely. She can't bear to die and let them die. How good would it be to watch them grow up, marry and have children? Thinking of this, empress Zhou burst into tears and burst into tears.
The children were still young and didn't know the pain of subjugation, but they all felt the desolation of the coming end. When they saw their mother crying, they were all at sixes and sevens. They cried loudly and looked very desolate.
After the beginning of spring this year, it began to rain, but when the Chinese army landed from Tianjin Wei, the rain basically stopped and began to clear up. The weather gradually warmed up, the ice and snow melted and the roads froze.
In the south of the Yangtze River, it is the cloudy spring March when the spring river is warm and the grass grows and the warblers fly.
In fact, it's sunny outside now, and the weather is gradually warming. If there's nothing else, it's a good time after spring ploughing.
To put it bluntly, it is the time for grass to grow and birds to fly and everything to recover. However, in the eyes of emperor Chongzhen, it is dark and dark. Everything he sees is gray.
Emperor Chongzhen took his bloody sword and entered the Kunning palace. He sat on the throne. He also knew that this was the last moment of his family. The end was coming. Seeing such a young and lovely child, he would go with himself. He was like a knife in his heart.
Emperor Chongzhen still lamented: "how could I be born in the emperor's house!"
Empress Zhou burst into tears. She said, "emperor, can't you give the children a way to live?"
Emperor Chongzhen said, "they are so young, they have no ability to survive, and they are in chaos outside. How can they live? They are subjected to endless humiliation? It's not like having a good time!"
Emperor Chongzhen thought about this problem, that is, as the emperor of the Ming Empire, he must die for his country, but his children are different. They can live if they escape.
But the war is chaotic outside and the world is so dangerous. How can these young children live? If the traitors know their identity, they are afraid that they can live in rare goods or cut thousands of knives. Rather than suffer such humiliation and suffering, they might as well kill themselves. The whole family will go to the yellow spring and finish it all.
The Ming Dynasty is dead, the ancestral temple does not exist, and what about the extinction of heirs?
Now emperor Chongzhen began to understand the despair and helplessness of the people.
At this time, there was a noise outside. It should be that the rebels had attacked the inner city from the outer city and were going to move towards the imperial city. The emperor could not help sighing: "the rivers and mountains of the Ming Empire for three hundred years, tens of thousands of miles and three hundred years of official support. Unexpectedly, on the day of the collapse of the country, there were trees falling, monkeys scattered and no one to follow."
The emperor Muran recalled that apart from his family, there was only Wang Chengen kneeling on the ground.
At this time, the bell in the drum tower rang loudly, and many people cheered loudly.
At this time, the cheers should be that the Chinese army has won a decisive victory or occupied some important places.
Emperor Chongzhen said, "our time has come. We are willing to be relatives in the next life, but we want to live forever, not in the imperial family."
In the past, Emperor Chongzhen was proud of the emperor's nobles. He felt that if he had not been born in this family, he would never have such a life. But at this time, he knew that it was the greatest misfortune to be born in the emperor's family. Emperor Chongzhen clenched his teeth, took his sword and directly cut down on several princes.
