The black eagle fell from the hollow of the clouds, rotated its magnificent body in the air, flapped its giant wings in the wind and flew towards the Forbidden City, flew over the Wumen Gate, flew over the Huangji Hall, fly over the Zhongji Hall, fly over the Jianji Hall
Black Hawk saw Ganqingmen, and his speed of waving his giant wings slowed down. His sharp eagle beak sang to the sky, and his giant wings flapped and flew over Ganqingmen again.
Hawkeye looked around and seemed to be looking for something, and finally landed on the roof of the double-eaved hipped hall of the Ganqing Palace.
The Black Eagle stretched out its huge wings on the top of the Ganqing Palace, lowered its head and combed the black feathers on its wings with its eagle's beak, and then looked up at the sunset behind the three halls overlapping on a line. Dashun's soldiers had entered the outer city.
Black Eagle was anxiously rotating in place twice, then jumped to the ridge beast on the corner of the eaves of the palace, looking down at the East Warm Pavilion of Ganqing Palace. The candlelight in the Warm Pavilion was shaking. Emperor Chongzhen was in the East Warm Pavilion. He sat on the imperial throne, pressing one hand on the imperial desk, and was writing something. Two palace maids were waiting on both sides.
The black eagle suddenly burst into tears and was unwilling to stay in this sad place. She spread her wings and flew outward towards the three halls. After a while, she flew over the Wumen Gate and left the Forbidden City.
The black eagle was determined to leave and flapped its giant wings quickly. Suddenly, it seemed that he could not bear to hover in the air. The black eagle looked back and looked towards the direction of the Ganqing Palace. Tears burst out again, and then moved their giant wings and flew back to the Ganqing Palace again, and dripped the last of the hot tears above the East Warehouse Pavilion of the Ganqing Palace.
The falling tears are not alone, because it begins to fall and accompany it. When the black eagle sees the drizzle, it is not afraid that it will wet its feathers, but instead shows a comforting smile.
Finally, the black eagle flapped its giant wings and flew high, and entered the clouds again until it could no longer be seen.

Ganqing Palace, Dongnuan Pavilion
Wei Zaode, the chief assistant of the cabinet, knelt in front of the imperial case of Emperor Chongzhen, trembling all over, and silently
Emperor Chongzhen was still wearing the same blue robe, with a net scarf, a hairpin and a hat on his head. Under the candlelight, Emperor Chongzhen's face looked a little shiny.
Emperor Chongzhen held the fifth self-crime edict issued by himself at the beginning of the year in one hand and read it
Holding a brush in one hand, what was written on the paper? Because there were ministers, Emperor Chongzhen showed the emperor's majesty
Emperor Chongzhen said: You are the leader of all the ministers. Now that the country is in trouble, what else can you do to save the country?
Wei Zaode knelt in front of the imperial desk, silent, without saying a word, just trembling all over.
Wei Zaode: ...
Emperor Chongzhen said: I have been guarding Hongxu for 17 years. The ancestors have entrusted it with great importance. I don’t expect that no one can relieve my worries today.
Wei Zaode: ...
Emperor Chongzhen said: Go away...
Wei Zaode slowly stood up, facing Emperor Chongzhen slowly withdrew from the East Nuan Pavilion, before leaving, Wei Zaode knelt down to Emperor Chongzhen again, kowtowed three times, then stood up and left.
When Zi'er saw Wei Zaode leave, the wind blows the drizzle inside outside. Just as he was about to close the door, a palace servant came to the outside door. When Zi'er saw that it was a technician Chen Yuanyuan, he came in.
Chen Yuanyuan was dressed in a goose yellow formal palace outfit, with a calm expression and hiding sorrow. She came to the imperial desk and knelt on the ground, then looked up at Emperor Chongzhen.
Chen Yuanyuan said: Emperor, the family banquet is coming soon, the empress, concubines and princess are all passed down.
Emperor Chongzhen did not look up at the beautiful Chen Yuanyuan, but was still immersed in pain alone, and kept writing something with the brush on his hand.
Emperor Chongzhen said: I, I will be here soon, you go first
Chen Yuanyuandao: I obey the order
Chen Yuanyuan stood up gracefully, and the three-inch golden lotus under the skirt of the fallen palace slowly retreated. After retreating to the gate of the warm cabinet, Chen Yuanyuan raised her head with moist eyes and looked at Emperor Chongzhen. She turned her serpent waist gently and walked out of the Donghun Pavilion.
When Cui'er saw Chen Yuanyuan out of the warm pavilion, she stretched out her jade hand from her long sleeves to close the door of the warm pavilion. It was already dark, and there was only the wind and drizzle chasing each other in the air.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
The wind came in through the gap in the window, blew the candlelight on the candlestick on the imperial desk, and the candlelight kept shaking slightly
Emperor Chongzhen still sat on the imperial throne, holding a brush in his hand over and over on the new imperial paper, copying some words from the fifth imperial edict at the beginning of the year.
The first time in Chinese history, the person who issued a self-criticism edict was Emperor Wen of Han. The self-criticism edict was equivalent to the emperor slapping himself in the face. Since ancient times, few emperors have issued self-criticism edicts to themselves. Emperor Chongzhen is one of them.
Emperor Chongzhen wrote and said: I am the parents of the people, and I am not allowed to be winged, and the people are innocent, and I am not allowed to be crammed, and I am sitting in the Qin and Yuqiu Ruins, the rivers and Chu are filthy, which brings shame to the clan society and guilty of Qianli. I am not my fault, so who can take responsibility?
Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen was blaming her again, Zi'er and Cui'er moved to Emperor Chongzhen and Zi'er polished ink for Emperor Chongzhen. Where did Cui'er get a cloak for Emperor Chongzhen to put on it?
Emperor Chongzhen wrote and recited: Therefore, the people were killed, and they were trampled on water and fire, and the amount of scoundrels and the bones were accumulated into hills. These were all my faults.
Tears could no longer be kept in Emperor Chongzhen's eyes, but they flowed down. Cui'er used her scarf to help Emperor Chongzhen wipe the tears, and felt that the tears were hot.
Emperor Chongzhen wrote and recited: Let the people lose money, live and see off the leaves, and add tuitions to many things without any skills. The pre-collection is a pain of credit, and my fault is also
Zi'er silently had slender and fair jade hands, and continued to silence slowly. Zi'er strongly held back the tears that were about to bury her eyes, opened her red lips slightly, and bit her lower lip with her teeth lightly
Emperor Chongzhen wrote and recited: "Make the people's houses like hanging rocks, the fields and soldiers are dirty, they look at the fireworks without a door, and they cry and the wind are dead. My faults also make the people's sun and moon bad, and droughts are in danger. Where the troops and brigades are in trouble, the epidemic is a disaster, the harmony between heaven and earth, the resentment of the family in the lower congregation are also my fault
Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help it, put down his brush and leaned on his throne. His face was mixed with pain and humiliation, and his voice was choked.
In just a while, Emperor Chongzhen twisted his brush and continued to write.
Emperor Chongzhen wrote and recited: As for being a minister but not being lawful, using minor ministers but not being honest, having a rat in front of the censors but not being clear about it, and being arrogant and cowardly but not making achievements, all of them are suitable for me to control the situation... Loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, people have the same intention, and avenge shame and evil, who has no public anger!
Emperor Chongzhen's anger erupted, threw the brush to the ground, then stood up, walked down the gate of the East Warehouse Pavilion with his footsteps, and began to sob as he walked.
Emperor Chongzhen sobbed and said: I have inherited the great cause of my ancestors, and have come to billions of dollars in the world. For seventeen years, I have not made any further revisions in this policy. The disaster will come.
Emperor Chongzhen suddenly knelt on the ground, crawled forward, opened the door of the Donghun Pavilion with his hands, and the wind and rain outside hit Emperor Chongzhen's body and face.
Emperor Chongzhen sobbed and said: Is the saint in the lower throne? As for the anger of heaven, the resentment of the people, the innocent children became thieves, and the good fields turned into hazels; the tombs were shocked, and the prince slaughtered them.
Seeing this, Zi'er and Cui'er ran over immediately, wanting to close the door of the warm pavilion so that they will not let the wind and rain attack Emperor Chongzhen.
However, when Emperor Chongzhen gently pushed him, the two of them could not stand the man's strength and fell on the ground of the warm pavilion.
Zi'er Cui'er said in unison: Emperor... Emperor... Woo...
The nervous Emperor Chongzhen knelt on the ground and climbed out of the warm pavilion and climbed to the wide platform. Emperor Chongzhen looked up at the bright moon and cried.
Emperor Chongzhen sobbed: The disaster of the country is no greater than that of the current besieging the capital, and suddenly entering the outer city and sects and communities, and there is no need to be attacked. How can the country's power be? I will personally lead the six divisions to investigate and retain the officials in the east to supervise the country. The country's important affairs will be paid to it.
Zi'er was furious. Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen refused to return to the warm-up pavilion, he immediately picked up the cloak that had just fallen from the floor of the warm-up pavilion, ran out and put it on Emperor Chongzhen's back, and then Zi'er gently covered Emperor Chongzhen's body with his body.
Seeing this, Cui'er also shed tears like rain. But in the drizzle, she could no longer tell what tears were and what rain was.
Cui'er stretched out her jade hands to cover her face and cried bitterly. The wind kept blowing. Cui'er's green palace was churning like waves in the drizzle, and the hair on her head was also scattered and dancing in the wind.
Emperor Chongzhen sobbed and said: I will tell you that if you have any subjects who can be loyal and brave, or who can help food, grass, equipment, mules, horses, boats and chariots, you will go to the army to listen to them and use them. You will never break your promise by rewarding the reward of the annihilation of the ugliness and dividing the land of the zodiac!
Emperor Chongzhen sobbed: I will never go back on my word, I will never go back on my word, the Ming Dynasty is about to perish
Emperor Chongzhen stood up, sobbing slowed down, and his mood calmed a lot, but his eyes had a sense of perseverance that had never been before.
Emperor Chongzhen raised his hand and wiped his face with his sleeve, turned his head to look towards the Ganqing Palace
Emperor Chongzhen said calmly: Family banquet...I should go to family banquet... Family banquet...
When Zi'er and Cui'er heard Emperor Chongzhen's words, she had a premonition. The two of them knelt down at Emperor Chongzhen as if they had communicated in advance.
Zi'er said: I know what to do, so I say goodbye to the emperor now, and I go back to the wing room to sacrifice my life to the country.
Cui'er said: I can serve the emperor in this life, which is to accumulate virtue and blessings in the previous life, and I can stay by the emperor in this life, and I am satisfied.
Emperor Chongzhen, who had walked a few steps towards the Ganqing Palace, heard the two of them saying these words, stopped, turned around and looked at them crying without tears.
Zi'er Cui'er is only eighteen or nineteen years old, and it is the golden stage of life. She actually encountered the destruction of the country and the family.
Although they are young, they know how to be honest and loyal, and they know more about what is loyalty to the emperor and patriotism in the country
Emperor Chongzhen tilted his mouth, his face twisted, and he looked like he wanted to cry, but after crying just now, the tears had dried up.
Emperor Chongzhen opened his arms and walked over to hug two Zi'er and Cui'er who only reached his chest. The three of them hugged each other and cried again.
A few seconds ago, Emperor Chongzhen could no longer cry. When the three of them hugged each other, the tears were dazzling again.
Emperor Chongzhen's tears kept falling from his eyes, dripping onto the heads and faces of Zi'er and Cui'er. The two felt that the tears were hot, and they were given the greatest comfort in their hearts.
Emperor Chongzhen cried: I know you and I love you too, but fate makes it impossible for us to do this life.
Zi'er cried: Emperor, Emperor, I am content. The emperor can hold me. Even if I die, I am happy.
Cui'er cried: Now I can't be the emperor. I will find the emperor in my next life. I will never leave the emperor again in my next life.
Emperor Chongzhen cried: If it was a peaceful day, my original intention was to accept you as your concubine, but...
Emperor Chongzhen could no longer talk, so he let go of his hands holding the two, looked at them and shook their heads constantly, tears were almost filled with tears in his eyes.
Zi'er Cui'er knew that separation was about to happen, so she tidied up her palace clothes twice. The two knelt on the ground to Emperor Chongzhen, kowtowed three times in a row. Then they got up and held hands, turned around and walked back to the Dongnuan Pavilion just now.
Emperor Chongzhen seemed to rush over to keep them, but he thought that the thieves had already broken through the outer city and the inner city would soon be broken, and there were still many things that had to be done.
Emperor Chongzhen resisted calling out the voices of the two of them, but when he saw that they were about to open the door of the East Nuan Pavilion, he thought that he would never see their voices, appearances, and smiles again.
Emperor Chongzhen finally couldn't help but shout and knelt down at Zi'er Cui'er at the same time: Zi'er, Cui'er!
Zi'er and Cui'er heard the emperor calling themselves. They looked back at Emperor Chongzhen at the same time. They showed a determined smile on their faces. They raised their hands to wave to him. The two girls, one red and one green, were like fairies in the sky in the wind and drizzle.
Emperor Chongzhen shouted: I, today I will accept Zi'er as the Concubine Zhong, today I will accept Cui'er as the Concubine Zhen, and swear to heaven that we will always be united and never be separated for generations...
When Zi'er and Cui'er heard the heartfelt words that came suddenly from Emperor Chongzhen, they were about to hear the emperor say what they liked the most before leaving. They burst into tears and looked at Emperor Chongzhen embracing each other and felt pain.
The three of them knelt down and kowtowed to each other ten steps apart, and they bowed to the world.
The three of them looked at each other and slowly stood up, turning reluctantly. Emperor Chongzhen walked towards the Ganqing Palace, and Ciale walked towards the East Warehouse. Although the three of them would never meet again in their lifetime, their wishes were gone and their hearts were open.
Zi'er and Cui'er were watching the back of Emperor Chongzhen walking towards the Ganqing Palace in the East Warehouse, and slowly closed the door of the Warehouse.
After a while, the candlelight in the East Warehouse was gone, and only two sounds of the stool falling to the ground were heard at the same time. Zi'er and Cui'er left.
Emperor Chongzhen walked to the gate of the Ganqing Palace, turned around again, knelt on the platform again, and kowtowed to Concubine Zhong and Concubine Zhen.
Emperor Chongzhen said calmly: Zi'er, Cui'er, you can take a step first, I will come to find you later...
At this time, the gate of the Ganqing Palace was opened
Empress Zhou, Princess Kunxing, Chen Yuanyuan, Empress Yi'an and other concubines all appeared in front of Emperor Chongzhen, and everyone was wet with tears.
Princess Kunxing rushed over and hugged Emperor Chongzhen and burst into tears. Her little body was wearing a snow-white palace outfit, like a pure angel, but she cried into tears at this moment.
Emperor Chongzhen lowered his head and stroked Princess Kunxing's head, supported Princess Kunxing, and walked into the Ganqing Palace together.
The gate of the Ganqing Palace was slowly closed, and the wind and drizzle could no longer blow in.

Shanhaiguan
Wu Sangui was struggling back and forth in a dilemma, but should he save the car or not?
If the garrison was rescued, Shanhaiguan would give it to the Qing soldiers, and how could his more than 50,000 people fight against Li Zicheng, who was guarding the capital?
Wu Sangui estimated that Li Zicheng had few troops to attack the capital, and even if he could save his horse, he could not defeat him.
If Emperor Chongzhen did not save him, he would be trapped between the Qing Dynasty and Dashun as soon as he died. It would be difficult to be a human being on both sides.
Moreover, dozens of people in his family live in the capital. If he does not rescue him, he will become a traitor and traitor. In the future, he will be worthless in front of the people.
If Li Zicheng went to rescue the car, he would definitely kill his whole family to relieve his hatred. The dozens of people in the family would be buried with Emperor Chongzhen, including his beloved concubine Chen Yuanyuan
The cunning Wu Sangui, after thinking about it, believed that only by keeping his own strength can he have his own foothold in the future and the capital to bargain with Li Zicheng or Dorgon.
The lives of my own family members can only be abandoned when they are forced into this situation.
Wu Sangui believes that in the troubled times, only himself is the most important thing. If he is like Supervisor Sun, he will not get anything after he died in battle. Thinking of this, Wu Sangui admires Zuo Liangyu's character, so he will save himself first and then patriotic.
Wu Sangui believes that it is not worth dying in battle like Supervisor Sun. In troubled times, you must have soldiers in your hands so that you can have the right to speak.
Wu Sangui thought about it and decided not to return to Beijing to rescue the emperor, but he wanted to come back to Beijing to rescue the emperor, which was to tell the world that Wu Sangui was preparing to return to Beijing to rescue the emperor, but in the end he was captured before he caught up with the capital.
That way, you can't blame Wu Sangui for not saving his guard. Wu Sangui also went, but he just didn't arrive.
He is guilty but no emperor punishes himself, because the emperor is likely to be no longer alive
Wu Sangui originally intended to surrender to Li Zicheng, because Li Zicheng was much stronger than the Qing Dynasty, so Wu Sangui made up his mind.

The black eagle fell from the hollow of the clouds, rotated its magnificent body in the air, flapped its giant wings in the wind and flew towards the Forbidden City, flew over the Wumen Gate, flew over the Huangji Hall, fly over the Zhongji Hall, fly over the Jianji Hall
Black Hawk saw Ganqingmen, and his speed of waving his giant wings slowed down. His sharp eagle beak sang to the sky, and his giant wings flapped and flew over Ganqingmen again.
Hawkeye looked around and seemed to be looking for something, and finally landed on the roof of the double-eaved hipped hall of the Ganqing Palace.
The Black Eagle stretched out its huge wings on the top of the Ganqing Palace, lowered its head and combed the black feathers on its wings with its eagle's beak, and then looked up at the sunset behind the three halls overlapping on a line. Dashun's soldiers had entered the outer city.
Black Eagle was anxiously rotating in place twice, then jumped to the ridge beast on the corner of the eaves of the palace, looking down at the East Warm Pavilion of Ganqing Palace. The candlelight in the Warm Pavilion was shaking. Emperor Chongzhen was in the East Warm Pavilion. He sat on the imperial throne, pressing one hand on the imperial desk, and was writing something. Two palace maids were waiting on both sides.
The black eagle suddenly burst into tears and was unwilling to stay in this sad place. She spread her wings and flew outward towards the three halls. After a while, she flew over the Wumen Gate and left the Forbidden City.
The black eagle was determined to leave and flapped its giant wings quickly. Suddenly, it seemed that he could not bear to hover in the air. The black eagle looked back and looked towards the direction of the Ganqing Palace. Tears burst out again, and then moved their giant wings and flew back to the Ganqing Palace again, and dripped the last of the hot tears above the East Warehouse Pavilion of the Ganqing Palace.
The falling tears are not alone, because it begins to fall and accompany it. When the black eagle sees the drizzle, it is not afraid that it will wet its feathers, but instead shows a comforting smile.
Finally, the black eagle flapped its giant wings and flew high, and entered the clouds again until it could no longer be seen.

Ganqing Palace, Dongnuan Pavilion
Wei Zaode, the chief assistant of the cabinet, knelt in front of the imperial case of Emperor Chongzhen, trembling all over, and silently
Emperor Chongzhen was still wearing the same blue robe, with a net scarf, a hairpin and a hat on his head. Under the candlelight, Emperor Chongzhen's face looked a little shiny.
Emperor Chongzhen held the fifth self-crime edict issued by himself at the beginning of the year in one hand and read it
Holding a brush in one hand, what was written on the paper? Because there were ministers, Emperor Chongzhen showed the emperor's majesty
Emperor Chongzhen said: You are the leader of all the ministers. Now that the country is in trouble, what else can you do to save the country?
Wei Zaode knelt in front of the imperial desk, silent, without saying a word, just trembling all over.
Wei Zaode: ...
Emperor Chongzhen said: I have been guarding Hongxu for 17 years. The ancestors have entrusted it with great importance. I don’t expect that no one can relieve my worries today.
Wei Zaode: ...
Emperor Chongzhen said: Go away...
Wei Zaode slowly stood up, facing Emperor Chongzhen slowly withdrew from the East Nuan Pavilion, before leaving, Wei Zaode knelt down to Emperor Chongzhen again, kowtowed three times, then stood up and left.
When Zi'er saw Wei Zaode leave, the wind blows the drizzle inside outside. Just as he was about to close the door, a palace servant came to the outside door. When Zi'er saw that it was a technician Chen Yuanyuan, he came in.
Chen Yuanyuan was dressed in a goose yellow formal palace outfit, with a calm expression and hiding sorrow. She came to the imperial desk and knelt on the ground, then looked up at Emperor Chongzhen.
Chen Yuanyuan said: Emperor, the family banquet is coming soon, the empress, concubines and princess are all passed down.
Emperor Chongzhen did not look up at the beautiful Chen Yuanyuan, but was still immersed in pain alone, and kept writing something with the brush on his hand.
Emperor Chongzhen said: I, I will be here soon, you go first
Chen Yuanyuandao: I obey the order
Chen Yuanyuan stood up gracefully, and the three-inch golden lotus under the skirt of the fallen palace slowly retreated. After retreating to the gate of the warm cabinet, Chen Yuanyuan raised her head with moist eyes and looked at Emperor Chongzhen. She turned her serpent waist gently and walked out of the Donghun Pavilion.
When Cui'er saw Chen Yuanyuan out of the warm pavilion, she stretched out her jade hand from her long sleeves to close the door of the warm pavilion. It was already dark, and there was only the wind and drizzle chasing each other in the air.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
The wind came in through the gap in the window, blew the candlelight on the candlestick on the imperial desk, and the candlelight kept shaking slightly
Emperor Chongzhen still sat on the imperial throne, holding a brush in his hand over and over on the new imperial paper, copying some words from the fifth imperial edict at the beginning of the year.
The first time in Chinese history, the person who issued a self-criticism edict was Emperor Wen of Han. The self-criticism edict was equivalent to the emperor slapping himself in the face. Since ancient times, few emperors have issued self-criticism edicts to themselves. Emperor Chongzhen is one of them.
Emperor Chongzhen wrote and said: I am the parents of the people, and I am not allowed to be winged, and the people are innocent, and I am not allowed to be crammed, and I am sitting in the Qin and Yuqiu Ruins, the rivers and Chu are filthy, which brings shame to the clan society and guilty of Qianli. I am not my fault, so who can take responsibility?
Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen was blaming her again, Zi'er and Cui'er moved to Emperor Chongzhen and Zi'er polished ink for Emperor Chongzhen. Where did Cui'er get a cloak for Emperor Chongzhen to put on it?
Emperor Chongzhen wrote and recited: Therefore, the people were killed, and they were trampled on water and fire, and the amount of scoundrels and the bones were accumulated into hills. These were all my faults.
Tears could no longer be kept in Emperor Chongzhen's eyes, but they flowed down. Cui'er used her scarf to help Emperor Chongzhen wipe the tears, and felt that the tears were hot.
Emperor Chongzhen wrote and recited: Let the people lose money, live and see off the leaves, and add tuitions to many things without any skills. The pre-collection is a pain of credit, and my fault is also
Zi'er silently had slender and fair jade hands, and continued to silence slowly. Zi'er strongly held back the tears that were about to bury her eyes, opened her red lips slightly, and bit her lower lip with her teeth lightly
Emperor Chongzhen wrote and recited: "Make the people's houses like hanging rocks, the fields and soldiers are dirty, they look at the fireworks without a door, and they cry and the wind are dead. My faults also make the people's sun and moon bad, and droughts are in danger. Where the troops and brigades are in trouble, the epidemic is a disaster, the harmony between heaven and earth, the resentment of the family in the lower congregation are also my fault
Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help it, put down his brush and leaned on his throne. His face was mixed with pain and humiliation, and his voice was choked.
In just a while, Emperor Chongzhen twisted his brush and continued to write.
Emperor Chongzhen wrote and recited: As for being a minister but not being lawful, using minor ministers but not being honest, having a rat in front of the censors but not being clear about it, and being arrogant and cowardly but not making achievements, all of them are suitable for me to control the situation... Loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, people have the same intention, and avenge shame and evil, who has no public anger!
Emperor Chongzhen's anger erupted, threw the brush to the ground, then stood up, walked down the gate of the East Warehouse Pavilion with his footsteps, and began to sob as he walked.
Emperor Chongzhen sobbed and said: I have inherited the great cause of my ancestors, and have come to billions of dollars in the world. For seventeen years, I have not made any further revisions in this policy. The disaster will come.
Emperor Chongzhen suddenly knelt on the ground, crawled forward, opened the door of the Donghun Pavilion with his hands, and the wind and rain outside hit Emperor Chongzhen's body and face.
Emperor Chongzhen sobbed and said: Is the saint in the lower throne? As for the anger of heaven, the resentment of the people, the innocent children became thieves, and the good fields turned into hazels; the tombs were shocked, and the prince slaughtered them.
Seeing this, Zi'er and Cui'er ran over immediately, wanting to close the door of the warm pavilion so that they will not let the wind and rain attack Emperor Chongzhen.
However, when Emperor Chongzhen gently pushed him, the two of them could not stand the man's strength and fell on the ground of the warm pavilion.
Zi'er Cui'er said in unison: Emperor... Emperor... Woo...
The nervous Emperor Chongzhen knelt on the ground and climbed out of the warm pavilion and climbed to the wide platform. Emperor Chongzhen looked up at the bright moon and cried.
Emperor Chongzhen sobbed: The disaster of the country is no greater than that of the current besieging the capital, and suddenly entering the outer city and sects and communities, and there is no need to be attacked. How can the country's power be? I will personally lead the six divisions to investigate and retain the officials in the east to supervise the country. The country's important affairs will be paid to it.
Zi'er was furious. Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen refused to return to the warm-up pavilion, he immediately picked up the cloak that had just fallen from the floor of the warm-up pavilion, ran out and put it on Emperor Chongzhen's back, and then Zi'er gently covered Emperor Chongzhen's body with his body.
Seeing this, Cui'er also shed tears like rain. But in the drizzle, she could no longer tell what tears were and what rain was.
Cui'er stretched out her jade hands to cover her face and cried bitterly. The wind kept blowing. Cui'er's green palace was churning like waves in the drizzle, and the hair on her head was also scattered and dancing in the wind.
Emperor Chongzhen sobbed and said: I will tell you that if you have any subjects who can be loyal and brave, or who can help food, grass, equipment, mules, horses, boats and chariots, you will go to the army to listen to them and use them. You will never break your promise by rewarding the reward of the annihilation of the ugliness and dividing the land of the zodiac!
Emperor Chongzhen sobbed: I will never go back on my word, I will never go back on my word, the Ming Dynasty is about to perish
Emperor Chongzhen stood up, sobbing slowed down, and his mood calmed a lot, but his eyes had a sense of perseverance that had never been before.
Emperor Chongzhen raised his hand and wiped his face with his sleeve, turned his head to look towards the Ganqing Palace
Emperor Chongzhen said calmly: Family banquet...I should go to family banquet... Family banquet...
When Zi'er and Cui'er heard Emperor Chongzhen's words, she had a premonition. The two of them knelt down at Emperor Chongzhen as if they had communicated in advance.
Zi'er said: I know what to do, so I say goodbye to the emperor now, and I go back to the wing room to sacrifice my life to the country.
Cui'er said: I can serve the emperor in this life, which is to accumulate virtue and blessings in the previous life, and I can stay by the emperor in this life, and I am satisfied.
Emperor Chongzhen, who had walked a few steps towards the Ganqing Palace, heard the two of them saying these words, stopped, turned around and looked at them crying without tears.
Zi'er Cui'er is only eighteen or nineteen years old, and it is the golden stage of life. She actually encountered the destruction of the country and the family.
Although they are young, they know how to be honest and loyal, and they know more about what is loyalty to the emperor and patriotism in the country
Emperor Chongzhen tilted his mouth, his face twisted, and he looked like he wanted to cry, but after crying just now, the tears had dried up.
Emperor Chongzhen opened his arms and walked over to hug two Zi'er and Cui'er who only reached his chest. The three of them hugged each other and cried again.
A few seconds ago, Emperor Chongzhen could no longer cry. When the three of them hugged each other, the tears were dazzling again.
Emperor Chongzhen's tears kept falling from his eyes, dripping onto the heads and faces of Zi'er and Cui'er. The two felt that the tears were hot, and they were given the greatest comfort in their hearts.
Emperor Chongzhen cried: I know you and I love you too, but fate makes it impossible for us to do this life.
Zi'er cried: Emperor, Emperor, I am content. The emperor can hold me. Even if I die, I am happy.
Cui'er cried: Now I can't be the emperor. I will find the emperor in my next life. I will never leave the emperor again in my next life.
Emperor Chongzhen cried: If it was a peaceful day, my original intention was to accept you as your concubine, but...
Emperor Chongzhen could no longer talk, so he let go of his hands holding the two, looked at them and shook their heads constantly, tears were almost filled with tears in his eyes.
Zi'er Cui'er knew that separation was about to happen, so she tidied up her palace clothes twice. The two knelt on the ground to Emperor Chongzhen, kowtowed three times in a row. Then they got up and held hands, turned around and walked back to the Dongnuan Pavilion just now.
Emperor Chongzhen seemed to rush over to keep them, but he thought that the thieves had already broken through the outer city and the inner city would soon be broken, and there were still many things that had to be done.
Emperor Chongzhen resisted calling out the voices of the two of them, but when he saw that they were about to open the door of the East Nuan Pavilion, he thought that he would never see their voices, appearances, and smiles again.
Emperor Chongzhen finally couldn't help but shout and knelt down at Zi'er Cui'er at the same time: Zi'er, Cui'er!
Zi'er and Cui'er heard the emperor calling themselves. They looked back at Emperor Chongzhen at the same time. They showed a determined smile on their faces. They raised their hands to wave to him. The two girls, one red and one green, were like fairies in the sky in the wind and drizzle.
Emperor Chongzhen shouted: I, today I will accept Zi'er as the Concubine Zhong, today I will accept Cui'er as the Concubine Zhen, and swear to heaven that we will always be united and never be separated for generations...
When Zi'er and Cui'er heard the heartfelt words that came suddenly from Emperor Chongzhen, they were about to hear the emperor say what they liked the most before leaving. They burst into tears and looked at Emperor Chongzhen embracing each other and felt pain.
The three of them knelt down and kowtowed to each other ten steps apart, and they bowed to the world.
The three of them looked at each other and slowly stood up, turning reluctantly. Emperor Chongzhen walked towards the Ganqing Palace, and Ciale walked towards the East Warehouse. Although the three of them would never meet again in their lifetime, their wishes were gone and their hearts were open.
Zi'er and Cui'er were watching the back of Emperor Chongzhen walking towards the Ganqing Palace in the East Warehouse, and slowly closed the door of the Warehouse.
After a while, the candlelight in the East Warehouse was gone, and only two sounds of the stool falling to the ground were heard at the same time. Zi'er and Cui'er left.
Emperor Chongzhen walked to the gate of the Ganqing Palace, turned around again, knelt on the platform again, and kowtowed to Concubine Zhong and Concubine Zhen.
Emperor Chongzhen said calmly: Zi'er, Cui'er, you can take a step first, I will come to find you later...
At this time, the gate of the Ganqing Palace was opened
Empress Zhou, Princess Kunxing, Chen Yuanyuan, Empress Yi'an and other concubines all appeared in front of Emperor Chongzhen, and everyone was wet with tears.
Princess Kunxing rushed over and hugged Emperor Chongzhen and burst into tears. Her little body was wearing a snow-white palace outfit, like a pure angel, but she cried into tears at this moment.
Emperor Chongzhen lowered his head and stroked Princess Kunxing's head, supported Princess Kunxing, and walked into the Ganqing Palace together.
The gate of the Ganqing Palace was slowly closed, and the wind and drizzle could no longer blow in.

Shanhaiguan
Wu Sangui was struggling back and forth in a dilemma, but should he save the car or not?
If the garrison was rescued, Shanhaiguan would give it to the Qing soldiers, and how could his more than 50,000 people fight against Li Zicheng, who was guarding the capital?
Wu Sangui estimated that Li Zicheng had few troops to attack the capital, and even if he could save his horse, he could not defeat him.
If Emperor Chongzhen did not save him, he would be trapped between the Qing Dynasty and Dashun as soon as he died. It would be difficult to be a human being on both sides.
Moreover, dozens of people in his family live in the capital. If he does not rescue him, he will become a traitor and traitor. In the future, he will be worthless in front of the people.
If Li Zicheng went to rescue the car, he would definitely kill his whole family to relieve his hatred. The dozens of people in the family would be buried with Emperor Chongzhen, including his beloved concubine Chen Yuanyuan
The cunning Wu Sangui, after thinking about it, believed that only by keeping his own strength can he have his own foothold in the future and the capital to bargain with Li Zicheng or Dorgon.
The lives of my own family members can only be abandoned when they are forced into this situation.
Wu Sangui believes that in the troubled times, only himself is the most important thing. If he is like Supervisor Sun, he will not get anything after he died in battle. Thinking of this, Wu Sangui admires Zuo Liangyu's character, so he will save himself first and then patriotic.
Wu Sangui believes that it is not worth dying in battle like Supervisor Sun. In troubled times, you must have soldiers in your hands so that you can have the right to speak.
Wu Sangui thought about it and decided not to return to Beijing to rescue the emperor, but he wanted to come back to Beijing to rescue the emperor, which was to tell the world that Wu Sangui was preparing to return to Beijing to rescue the emperor, but in the end he was captured before he caught up with the capital.
That way, you can't blame Wu Sangui for not saving his guard. Wu Sangui also went, but he just didn't arrive.
He is guilty but no emperor punishes himself, because the emperor is likely to be no longer alive
Wu Sangui originally intended to surrender to Li Zicheng, because Li Zicheng was much stronger than the Qing Dynasty, so Wu Sangui made up his mind.
