    "Are you Zhu Youjian?" "Yes, sinner!" Zhang Ke suddenly raised his eyebrows, quickly returned to normal, and smiled: "Zhu Youjian, do you remember that ten years ago, I was here with you?  Entering the Forbidden City, assisting you to ascend the throne, but ten years later, I have to take the throne from you, how can I be grateful? " Chongzhen lowered his eyebrows, smiled bitterly, raised his head, and looked at Zhang Ke in his prime and in his prime.  His majestic appearance, then look at himself, hunched over, like a little old man. You must know that he is much younger than Zhang Ke!  How unfair the sky is! ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? +, I have ended up like this. I have lost my country, I can¡¯t even save the tombs of my ancestors, and I have to go overseas and be reviled by the world. Who am I?  Chongzhen¡¯s body kept shaking, his fingers dug into his palms, and blood flowed out from his fists.  It hurts, it hurts my heart!  ??The king of subjugation, think about it, Emperor Jianwen was like this at the beginning. He was besieged by his uncle in the capital, with artillery fire blasting from all sides, and the shouts of killing continued.  "Now there is no one left to fight. I can't even compare to Emperor Jianwen. Damn it!"  Chongzhen raised his head and moved his throat back and forth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end there was only a sigh.  "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. I am already the king of the subjugated country. Please don't push yourself too far. The world belongs to you. Just leave a way for Zhu to survive!" Zhang Ke looked at the gray-faced Chongzhen, feeling a little pitiful indeed.  A slap and someone saying it doesn't hurt is really too much.  Zhang Ke shook his head and said with a smile: "Zhu Youjian, I once heard a saying, it is said that if you are going in the wrong direction, stopping is progress. Your diligence has become a road to darkness. Alas, it is useless to talk more. I promise to banish you.  When I go overseas, I will keep my word and will never harm you. You might as well test how different the country under my rule is from yours!" Before Chongzhen could say anything, Qian Qianyi jumped out from behind.  He said loudly: "Your Majesty has a broad mind and is unparalleled in the world. Chongzhen was a king who lost his virtue and lost his country. He should die for his country. Your Majesty has a kind heart and is exiled overseas. It is really an unprecedented virtue to make him change his ways, veteran minister."  I admire him!" With him taking the lead, Ruan Dacheng, even Zhou Tingru and others stood up and kept saying compliments, as if Chongzhen on the side was nothing!  Yesterday, they were the king's ministers, but now they have become strangers and enemies. These people have changed their faces too quickly.  It¡¯s a shame they can speak out.  I really don¡¯t know the word shame.  Chongzhen bit his steel teeth into pieces, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth. He slowly took a step forward and raised the imperial seal high.  "The Ming Dynasty. It's all here!" Zhang Ke urged the white horse, came closer, looked at it, and showed a satisfied smile.  He reached out and grabbed the jade seal.  All the ministers present looked over, as if time had stood still and the world was about to change hands.  The Ming Dynasty, which lasted nearly three hundred years, died like this!  Everyone doesn¡¯t dare to believe it, but they can¡¯t help but believe it!  Soon, Zhang Ke's hand was getting closer and closer to the jade seal, only a minute or two away.     Sudden!  Chongzhen's rickety figure suddenly straightened up, and he reached out from under the tray containing the jade seal, and a bright dagger appeared in his hand.  "You traitor and traitor, suffer death!" Chongzhen's body shot out like an arrow from a string, and the dagger pierced Zhang Ke's heart.  The dagger is sharp and sharp, reflecting the blue light. Needless to say, if it is stabbed with poison that seals the throat with blood, Zhang Ke will definitely die.  The generals behind were so frightened that they opened their mouths. Their protection of Zhang Ke was not unreasonable, but no one could imagine that Chongzhen, who had no power to restrain a chicken, could risk his life with Zhang Ke?  Could it be that this emperor is a hidden master? This is too ridiculous!  The two brothers Qiao Fu and Qiao Gui urged their horses forward to rescue them almost at the same time, while more people barely even reacted and could only watch helplessly.  The dagger was getting closer and closer to Zhang Ke. Just when the dagger was about to hit him, Zhang Ke's horse suddenly knelt on its front legs.  Zhang Ke's body suddenly became more than two feet shorter. The dagger stabbed Zhang Ke's shoulder, but it didn't hit.  Chongzhen turned around hurriedly and wanted to stab Zhang Ke again, but he was wearing an emperor's dragon robe, which was so wide and cumbersome that he stepped on the corner of the robe. His body swayed and he almost fell down.  When he stood up straight again and prepared to attack, the bowstring rang, and a wolf-fang arrow penetrated his back and pierced out from the front of his heart.  The blood was pouring out like a fountain, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, he knelt on his knees, and he stood up straight and exhaled.  Qiao Fu rushed to Chongzhen and suddenly found that the skin on his temples was sticking up. He stretched out his hand to grab it and pulled it off.A little hair and a big face.  "It's a fake!" Qiao Fu shouted in surprise. At this moment, countless bows and arrows suddenly popped out from the Chengtian Gate. Swish, swish, swish, the bowstrings were ringing, and the arrows were like rain.  Zhang Ke had already picked up his horse, leaned on its back, turned around and ran away.  In fact, he had long been aware of the strangeness. Until his death, Chongzhen blamed his ministers and refused to admit that he was the king of the country's subjugation.  How could such a person admit guilt easily? Zhang Ke boldly judged that the other party was a fake, at least worthy of suspicion.  Being careful, Zhang Ke narrowly avoided the dagger, but the assassin's determination still made Zhang Ke's back wet.  "Quick, retreat!" Zhang Ke took the lead and led his men to evacuate backwards. They moved very quickly, but the officials led by Zhou Tingru, as well as the eunuchs and maids who came out of the palace gate had no premonition at all and were covered by arrows.  .  Not long after, the ground was covered with dead bodies, and they were screaming at the top of their lungs. It was like hell.  Zhang Ke didn't care about this. Since he launched the assassination, it would never end so easily.  There are more continuous back moves that must be guarded against.  "Send the order, form a circular formation, and leave the city quickly." There was no need for Zhang Ke to give orders. His men were well-trained and ready to respond. Everyone immediately formed a group and protected Zhang Ke in the middle.  Boom boom boom!  From the houses on both sides, there was a sudden rumbling sound, and artillery shells were attacking the soldiers.  Some people were unable to evade, so their bodies were penetrated by solid shells and turned into piles of minced meat.  Seeing that victory was in sight, he died in a daze, and the generals were mad.  Qiao Fu, Qiao Gui, Liu Shaoqing, Ma Rufeng and others hurriedly led the way, protecting Zhang Ke and killing him to the east.  He didn't run a few steps and came out of the street.  Countless soldiers suddenly poured out of the houses and shops, holding daggers and shields in their hands. They roared and rushed towards Zhang Ke.  The ferocity of this group of people exceeded everyone's expectations. They didn't take themselves seriously at all. The daggers in their hands were only used for offense, not defense, only advancement.  No retreat.  In an instant, many of Zhang Ke's personal guards died. Both sides raised their weapons simultaneously, blood flew everywhere, and people fell down one after another.  Anyone who fell down would be stepped on by countless pairs of big feet, leaving only patches of dark red on the ground.  Qiao Fu waved the sword in his hand and slashed five or six enemies in a row. His body was soaked with blood.  He wiped the blood from his face.  Listening carefully, the entire capital fell into chaos.  In an instant, countless soldiers seemed to emerge from the ground and attacked the Yizhou soldiers frantically.  The Yizhou soldiers actually fell into a disadvantage.  Qiao Fu's eyes were red, and he shouted to Zhang Ke: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, I will be the vanguard, everyone goes out to kill!" He took the lead.  The knife in his hand danced like flying, and was extremely cruel, killing the enemy soldiers who came up to them.  Bodies were everywhere.  Zhang Ke, surrounded by a group of guards, fought his way out of the siege.  Zhang Ke¡¯s face was livid. He was not afraid, but angry. He was not only dissatisfied with his subordinates, but also directed at himself!  I guessed that Chongzhen would not give up, but I didn't expect that he would be so decisive. There are so many dead men under his command. Doesn't it mean that all the loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty are dead? What is going on?  Zhang Ke kept roaring in his heart. Not far after he ran out, there was a fork in the road ahead. He was hesitating which way to go, when suddenly people came out from both sides.  The person rushing to the front to conduct the command was a dark and thin dwarf. Zhang Ke was no stranger to this person. He was Yuan Chonghuan!  Yuan Chonghuan once assisted Teacher Sun to fight against Zhang Ke in Liaodong. Later, when he suffered the defeat of Liuhe, Teacher Sun hurriedly returned to Beijing. Later, Chongzhen succeeded to the throne and wanted to re-enable Sun Chengzong. However, the court did not have the slightest opinion of Teacher Sun, thinking that he was in name only.  Plus, because I'm older, it doesn't work anymore.  As for Yuan Chonghuan, he fled back to the pass. He is a man with strong willpower. When he was a county magistrate, he dared to take the initiative to go to Liaodong to strive for wealth. Now, although he has a bad reputation, his ambition for fame has never died. He quietly  Wait for the opportunity.  Sure enough, Zhang Ke became bigger and bigger, and Chongzhen was not happy with Zhang Ke. Yuan Chonghuan, who once stood on Zhang Ke's opposite side, had a chance to make a comeback. He first replaced him as a county magistrate, and then became a promotion official in Daming Prefecture.  When he was promoted to an official position, he selected capable warriors, recruited soldiers from Fujian, and trained an elite force of a thousand people. His official position was also promoted to the military preparation level.  Zhang Ke didn¡¯t pay attention to such a small official. However, when Zhang Ke raised his troops to attack the emperor, Yuan Chonghuan took his troops and sneaked into the capital separately. Yuan Chonghuan went straight to Wei Guogong Xu Hongji.  After some discussion, Xu Hongji admired Yuan Chonghuan's loyalty and courage and recommended him to Chongzhen.    Yuan Chonghuan said to Chongzhen: "Although the Yizhou army is huge, the manpower is actually scattered, and the generals are not convinced. As long as Zhang Ke is killed, the group will be leaderless and will fall into chaos without fighting. Your Majesty will regain the country and revive the Ming Dynasty.  This move. " Chongzhen was so excited that the next thing happened naturally. Yuan Chonghuan and Xu Hongji joined forces to set up today's situation.  "Brothers, the time has come to kill the traitors, shoot the arrows!" The bowstring sounded, and the arrows shot over like locusts.  Happening to be on the street, there was nowhere to hide. The soldiers fell to the ground wailing, and the number of people around Zhang Ke quickly decreased.  Liu Shaoqing was the most astute person. He suddenly saw that all the shops on the street had boarded up their doors and windows.  He hurriedly ran over, and together with his brothers, he tore down the wooden planks and blocked them in front of him.  Bows and arrows kept hitting the wooden boards with banging sounds, and the soldiers were injured from time to time. But at least they had cover, so everyone immediately loaded their firecrackers and started shooting at each other fiercely.  Gunsmoke filled the air, and the bows and arrows on the opposite side were beaten to a bloody pulp, with blood flowing down the road to the ditches on both sides. The suffocating smell of blood filled the sky.  Yuan Chonghuan's face turned red. He knew that it would be a life and death fight. If he couldn't kill Zhang Ke quickly and get out of danger quickly, hundreds of thousands of troops from outside would come in and tear them alive!  "Listen to me, everyone, charge, charge forward!" Yuan Chonghuan waved his command knife, and he would kill whoever fell behind without mercy.  Extending one's head means death, and shrinking one's head means death. These soldiers have no choice.  All we can do is scramble to kill them.  The sound of gunfire rumbles, and if you hit one, two enemies will rush up. It¡¯s endless, and your scalp is numb.  The forks in the road are blocked, so just go into the alley.  Zhang Ke was fighting and leaving. There were only more than a hundred people left around him, and Ma Rufeng and others had already fled.  Zhang Ke, however, remained calm and said to his brothers: "Everyone, please hold on. Our reinforcements will arrive soon. These gangsters are seeking their own death!" Boom!  boom!  boom!  An earth-shattering sound was heard, and the ground beneath his feet was shaking. Qiaofu jumped up on the wall and looked into the distance. The flying arrows passed through his head, which scared Qiaofu and jumped down in a hurry.  "What's the sound?" Zhang Ke exclaimed.  "It's like gunpowder." Qiao Fu gritted his teeth: "I guess the gunpowder is buried in key locations. Firstly, it can cause riots and panic, and secondly, it can prevent people from outside from coming in." "It's really deliberate. This guy Yuan Chonghuan  You have become more capable." Liu Shaoqing's face was dark and hurt, and he said: "Your Majesty, stop praising that bastard. Why don't you think about it quickly?" "It's really not easy."  At that moment, suddenly there was a shout from behind: "Hurry up, the traitor is here!" "No, the traitor is here!" Qiao Fu and Liu Shaoqing were on the left and right.  Protect Zhang Ke and retreat downwards.  Unfortunately, people on both sides see each other as traitors.  I don¡¯t know who is real.  "Come this way." Zhang Ke pointed to a nearby house, which covered a large area. Qiao Fu cut off the door bolt and everyone filed in.  Yuan Chonghuan led the people and followed him.  "Sir, someone saw the thieves running in!" "Huh, they can't run away, so set fire to me." This move is too damaging. The wooden house will be on fire in no time, and the wind is very strong today, and the fire will spread instantly.  It spread and the whole street was covered in fire.  The tongues of fire flew around, and wherever they landed, a fire broke out.  Yuan Chonghuan¡¯s face turned red and his whole body was shaking with excitement.  "Burn, burn! Burn Zhang Ke to death!" "Come here, block all the intersections for me. If you see anyone escaping, kill them immediately!" "Follow your order!" His men immediately dispersed,  Guard all street entrances.  The shouts of killing outside became more and more intense. It was obvious that the Yizhou soldiers outside the city had already taken action. He An and others who were stationed in the camp heard the shouts of killing coming from the capital, and immediately mobilized their troops to attack the capital.  At this time, all the gates of the capital city had been blocked by the capital camp. Wei Guogong Xu Hongji personally supervised the battle. The two sides started killing each other without saying a word.  On the other side of the Forbidden City, the real Emperor Chongzhen arrested all the ministers who had no one to protect him. Facing them, he laughed crazily and almost burst into tears.  "Kill, kill all these shameless thieves! Leave no one alive!" Chongzhen shouted the last word with all his strength. The eyes of the chief minister Zhou Tingru went dark and he fainted immediately.  Some soldiers rushed up and dragged Zhou Tingru away. They smelled a foul smell and ran down his crotch.Drip yellow liquid outside.  "It turns out that the chief minister has such courage, it really makes people laugh!" Chongzhen looked at the ministers being dragged away one by one, with an unprecedented joy on his face. Over the years since he took the throne, Chongzhen had asked himself, and he had always treated his ministers well.  When the time came when the country was ruined and the family was destroyed, not only could this group of people not follow him to the death, they actually took the initiative to seek refuge with Zhang Ke, and in turn wanted to kill him.  The ministers misunderstood me!  Chongzhen pointed at them, like hungry beasts, laughing crazily: "I just mistrusted you, so I lost my country. But it doesn't matter, I will let you be buried with my country. When you are under Jiuquan, you still have to be me."  The ministers will never be able to run away, they will never be able to run away!" Chongzhen's eyes were red, he grabbed a sword and pointed it at an old minister.  "Your Majesty, you can't kill me. I am your father-in-law and the prince's grandfather. We are close relatives!" "Bah, Zhou Kui, you are worthy of being called a relative. I want military pay from you. You can pay two  One thousand taels, but I gave Zhang Ke 200,000 taels. It¡¯s because I believed in you that I brought the country to this point. Go to hell!¡± Chongzhen used all his strength and the sword penetrated Zhou Kui¡¯s chest.  Blood gushed out from the corners of Dongxi's mouth, his body twitched several times, and he died on the spot.  Seeing the death of his father-in-law, Chongzhen felt unprecedentedly happy and relaxed. He stretched out his hand, pulled out the sword with force, and pointed it at Tian Hongyu, the other father-in-law.  "You should follow him too!" (To be continued)
