Please ask me to be the emperor

The soldiers behind him were all busy, busy stacking the heads together in their hands, stacking them high, preparing to build a Jingguan.

In fact, the pile was almost full. Thousands of heads were piled together, which was shocking.

It's just that the construction hasn't started yet, because it's not completely bright yet, and the soldiers on the city can clearly see the braids on the heads.

As a kind king, King Shun had never done such a cruel thing.

It's just that this time, in order to reduce the casualties of the living, he had no choice but to aggrieve the dead.

In summer, the sky always lights up very early.

On the Jiashen day of the Jiashen month of the Bingzi year, at six o'clock in the morning, the east was already white, and the scene on the city could almost be seen.

Li Jiyu carried a big bow on his back and kept walking back and forth, observing what was going on in the city.

Ah Shan saw it funny and couldn't help but said: "What's the point? Why don't you just sit down and take a rest? How can you win the battle if you don't recharge your batteries?"

"You don't understand!" Li Jiyu shook his head and said with a disappointed look.

"Why don't I understand?" Ah Shan asked unconvinced.

"Look at my bow!" Li Jiyu couldn't help but reach out and take off the long bow on his back, stroking it as if he was remembering it.

"Then you should show it to me!" Ah Shan was unhappy because this man dared to tease him.

"Someone is carrying a longbow." Unexpectedly, Li Jiyu ignored him and started singing since ancient times, "Shoot at dawn at night!"

"Three hundred and eight years, he has gained a great reputation!"

It turns out that this moment is just like that moment.

Just as he was singing with his eyes closed, it seemed that he had returned to the scene four years ago when Renjiazhuang was full of guests.

The sharp-tongued Chen Jindou was in sync with him at this moment, and was singing the same lyrics with his broken gong voice while shaking his head.

"There are people with long bows, and everything has come true!" When he finished singing, he couldn't help but say with a sad look on his face.

What a pity it was me, what a pity it wasn’t me! He added silently in his heart.

"What!" Ah Shan was completely baffled when he heard this, and couldn't help but reach out and take off his big bow and said, "If you want to say, this can be considered a long bow, right?"

What Ashan used was a typical "Qing bow" as later generations called it. Although it was not as long as the long bow, its shape was also quite thick.

"What about this?" Hearing this, Li Jiyu caught a thick arrow and shot it from west to east with his big bow.

It was just before dawn, and the location of the rebels was shrouded in the shadow of the tower.

Li Jiyu's arrow was shooting from the dark to the light, which can be said to be in line with the saying "shoot at night and shoot at dawn".

What do you know? I am oblivious!

Li Jiyu shook his head, looked at Ah Shan with disdain.

Straight bitch, are you playing mystery for me?

Immediately, Ashan became angry. One Buddha appeared and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. He was about to step forward to find trouble and vent his anger.

But suddenly they heard a commotion in the city, and then it became chaos.

"What's going on?" The two of them asked in shock.

Before everyone could react, they heard a creaking sound soon, and the huge Xizhi Gate suddenly opened, and dozens of soldiers rushed out, shouting loudly: "Guan Ninghou Gongji respectfully welcomes His Royal Highness King Shun into the city!"

"This..." Li Jiyu and Ashan looked at each other in confusion after hearing this, not knowing whether it was a blessing or a curse.

"Quick, quick, where is King Shun? If you are too late, things will change!" At this moment, a man who looked like a general jumped out and shouted anxiously.

"What should we do? Should we go in or not?" Ah Shan was a little timid now.

The capital's city defenses are complete, and Xizhimen is equipped with a thousand-jin gate, an arrow tower, an urn city, and a moon city. If someone is really tricked into getting in, they may have great abilities, but they can only be angry on the spot.

"You stay, I'll go!" Li Jiyu couldn't help but look at Ah Shan with contempt.

"Why?" Ashan couldn't help but asked unconvinced.

"No reason!" Li Jiyu laughed, then got on his horse and led his heavy armored soldiers to advance towards Xizhimen.

As he galloped, he chanted loudly: "Eight oxen come to rule the world. Only thirty-nine wooden monkeys remain. Only when eighteen children enter the capital will we know that there is a real dragon in Shuntian!"

"Where is King Shun?" Just as Li Jiyu arrived in front of the general, the general Hou Gongji couldn't help but asked loudly.

"King Shun is still on the way and will be here soon!" Li Jiyu couldn't help but responded loudly.

"Heroes are so brave!" Hou Gongji was stunned when he heard this. He never expected this to be the case, and he couldn't help but exclaimed.

It turned out that Hou Gongji was none other than the son of the chief military officer Hou Shilu.

Both father and son were born in Yulin, and they were most friendly with Zhang Shun's father-in-law, Wang Shiguo and Wang Shiqin.

In Zhang Shun's original historical line, Hou Shilu and Hou Gongji, their father and son, together with Wang Shiguo, Wang Shiqin and others, resisted Li Zicheng, and eventually the city was trapped and died.

It turns out that what Wang Qiying said, "most of the people who sell my Wang's thin noodles" were not just lies.

If it were normal, Hou Shilu and Hou Gongji would naturally not "sell to the seller for glory" just because of a letter from brothers Wang Shiguo and Wang Shiqin.

But now that the Ming Dynasty is over and the father and son have a new way out, they will naturally think otherwise.

Therefore, when Hou Gongji saw that Li Jiyu did not recognize his father and son, he dared to venture into the city, he couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

However, Hou Gongji never imagined that Li Jiyu was deceived by Chen Jindou's prophecy, and he accepted the words "Eighteen children will enter the capital", so he dared to risk his life.

Not to mention how these people calculated, the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian was immediately shocked when he got the news that the rebels had entered the city.

It turns out that the city of Beijing is divided into four parts: the outer city, the inner city, the imperial city and the Forbidden City.

It goes without saying that the Imperial City and the Forbidden City are located within the inner city. Only the outer city is located to the south of the inner city and is not a trap outside the inner city.

And this Xizhimen is the gate of the inner city. Once this gate is broken, the rebel army can directly attack the imperial city. No wonder Zhu Youjian was eclipsed by it.

"Let's go, Your Majesty, let's go quickly!" Li Banghua, Fang Yizao, Chen Zubao and Fan Jingwen quickly admonished him.

"Okay, let's go, I'm leaving now!" Zhu Youjian quickly led everyone, regardless of the prohibition of respectability, and just hurried to the harem.

Chongzhen went all the way through Zhongji Hall, Jianji Hall, Qianqing Gate, Qianqing Palace, and finally came to Kunning Palace.

When he saw that Queen Zhou was not there, he couldn't help but ask loudly: "Where is the Queen?"

"Your Majesty, the Queen was angry today and went to the Imperial Garden to relax!" Someone from the palace quickly reported back.

"Angry?" Zhu Youjian was almost angry to death on the spot. How long has it been since then, and you still dare to be angry with me?

There was no way, Zhu Youjian ordered the palace people to go find her, and at the same time hurried to Chengqian Palace to find Concubine Tian, ​​but Concubine Tian was still not there.

He turned back and went to Yikun Palace to look for Concubine Yuan, but Concubine Yuan was not there either.

Chongzhen had no choice but to send people to Ciqing Palace to find Queen Yi'an, and at the same time he personally led people to Zhongcui Palace to find Prince Zhu Cixang, but the result was still not there.

Zhu Youjian is really confused. Are you playing "hide and seek" with me?

At this moment, soldiers hurried over to report: "It's not good, it's not good, the 'shun thieves' have entered the Chengtian Gate and are heading towards the palace!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, let's go quickly. I'll leave the affairs of the prince and ladies to my ministers!" Seeing that he couldn't do anything, Li Banghua suddenly knelt down and kowtowed.

"A country cannot live without a king for a day, and a people cannot live without a master for a day. Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body!"

"Go, go!" Zhu Youjian glanced desperately at this familiar palace and the palace people who were already in chaos. Finally, he closed his eyes helplessly, and tears of regret flowed from the corners of his eyes.

Despite what Li Banghua, the Minister of War, said nicely, he actually understood that he might never see his queen, concubines and children again.

The so-called "a country cannot live without a king, and a people cannot live without a master" is actually telling him: Just run away, don't worry about other people!

Immediately, Zhu Youjian led a group of people into the Imperial Garden. After a hasty search to no avail, he fled all the way to Dongzhimen in despair.

Finally arrived at Dongzhimen, only to find that the city gate was closed and heavily guarded.

Fang Yizao, the governor of Liaodong, couldn't help but stepped forward and shouted: "Who is in the city? Quickly open the city gate and let me go out!"

"Hey, there's a big official here? Catch him quickly and get the reward!" Unexpectedly, the soldiers in the city laughed without being surprised when they heard this, and shot down arrows and projectiles.

What a pity that Fang Yizao was so capable, but he was shot dead on the spot by random arrows and blunderbuss.

"Let's go! Let's go!" Before he died, Fang Yizao shouted to them.

However, this sentence still revealed that their identities were extraordinary.

"Hey, there are still high officials here?" When everyone in the city saw that Fang Yizao had been beaten to death, they were heartbroken and quickly sent down more than a hundred people to capture them.

Everyone fought and retreated, and finally escaped. After carefully counting the number of people, Wen Tiren, the chief minister of the cabinet, and Chen Zubao, the governor of Shuntian, were missing.

"Let's go to Andingmen!" Fan Jingwen couldn't help but suggested quickly.

However, everyone did not expect that Anding Gate was still impassable, so they had to turn back to Desheng Gate.

As a result, he was recognized at Deshengmen, and the soldiers who were as timid as chickens when defending the city suddenly became as cowardly as wolves and tigers.

Everyone was fighting and retreating. Unexpectedly, Fan Jingwen who joined the military plane was old and frail. He was a step too late and was shot dead with an arrow.

When everyone finally escaped, Chongzhen carefully counted the number of people, only himself, Wang Chengen and seven or eight guards were left.

"Let's go, let's split up! If it weren't for me, maybe you could escape!" Chongzhen, who had been betrayed repeatedly, was already frustrated at this time, and he couldn't help but issue an order.

"This" the guards couldn't help but kowtow deeply to Zhu Youjian after hearing this, and then ran away like birds and animals.

"Chengen, why don't you leave?" Zhu Youjian looked at the eunuch Wang Chengen who was still standing beside him and asked strangely.

"Minion. I have no home. Wherever Your Majesty goes, I will go!" Wang Chengen responded in a low voice.

"Then where should I go?" Suddenly Zhu Youjian pointed to the coal mountain next to him and asked involuntarily.

"Slaves also follow each other in life and death!" Wang Chengen replied affirmatively.

"Hahaha!" Chongzhen couldn't help laughing several times after hearing this, until tears came out of his eyes.

Then he limped to the foot of Meishan Mountain, found a crooked neck tree, took the jade belt from his waist and hung it on the tree.

Wang Chengen climbed down skillfully, letting Chongzhen step on his back.

Not long after, a strong force came and Wang Chengen was kicked out.

When he got up and took a look, he saw the "Grandfather Emperor" hanging there and struggling for a while. Finally, his eyes protruded and his face turned blue, hanging there motionless.

At this moment, his eyes were looking far away to the west, as if he saw another scene of the death of an emperor there.

For a moment, his expression softened a lot, as if he knew he was no longer alone on the road to hell!

"Grandpa Huang, I'm here too!" Wang Chengen cried loudly, then took off his belt with trembling hands, found another locust tree, and hung it up.

As Wang Chengen's struggling movements became smaller and smaller, the scene at the foot of Meishan gradually became quiet, leaving only the birds chirping in the mountains.
