"Don't worry, father-in-law, the saint has gone upstairs!" Cao Youyi replied, breathing heavily.
"Going upstairs? It's okay..." The old eunuch just breathed out, and suddenly thought of something, and his face turned blue, "Oh, that would be worse!"
As he spoke, he ran quickly to find the stairs and climbed up. As he climbed the stairs, he shouted: "Your Majesty, don't be anxious. Your Majesty, don't be anxious. My troops have already entered! We are rescued." Already..."
What he said is actually deceiving you! He had no idea whether Zhu Cixiang's soldiers had invaded. But it’s impossible not to deceive this gentleman, because he knows Emperor Chongzhen too well. The emperor went upstairs to kill his wife... What a human tragedy! Can the old man stay out of his way?
Zhu Cihong had already privately taken care of Wang Qingtuo when he was a prince, and he must take good care of Queen Zhou... but he didn't mention the emperor! The old eunuch's own understanding was that it didn't matter if his father, Emperor Chongzhen, died, but his mother, Queen Zhou, must be preserved no matter what.
It’s a good thing if the prince dies and his father is dead! Once Chongzhen died, Zhu Cihong became the emperor!
But Zhou Hou cannot die. If she is to die, who will Zhu Cihong be a dutiful son to?
Emperor Chongzhen believed that death from starvation was a small matter, but indiscretion was a serious matter! Therefore, Queen Zhou must be killed before the enemy comes in, to protect her reputation.
At this moment, Emperor Chongzhen upstairs was holding a sharp sword, approaching Queen Zhou who was retreating to the corner with a shield, and murmured: "The time has come, the time has come, Queen, put down the shield quickly..."
There are two old girls and maids beside the queen. They are both very lucky. They almost crawled out from the pile of dead people and are still unscathed. However, they were both infatuated women, and they had already made up their minds to accompany Emperor Chongzhen to die for the country, so they all helped to persuade the Queen of Zhou.
"My Lady, please give your shield to me..."
"Empress, you are the mother of the country, and your reputation is as great as the sky. You cannot be humiliated by thieves."
How could Hou Zhou be willing to listen to them and put down his shield? She knew that her husband was a stubborn man and was not good at turning around. If he puts down his shield, he will be stabbed to death with a sword. So she just shook her head desperately: "Brother Chun will be here soon. Brother Chun is so filial and will not ignore my parents. Your Majesty, please put down your sword..."
Chongzhen stamped his feet: "Now that things have happened, do you still believe him? The most ruthless emperor's family! If I die, he is the emperor! How could he come to save me?"
Empress Zhou gritted her silver teeth and replied to Chongzhen: "Today's difficulty is not because you don't trust Brother Chun? If Wu Xiang is allowed to escort him with the Third Battalion of Kenan, how can the thieves succeed?"
When Hou Zhou retorted, Emperor Chongzhen was speechless for a moment, and he didn't know how to teach this woman who was afraid of death. While he was in a daze, Cao Huachun's shout came over. Chongzhen was easy to deceive and had no doubts. He took a breath and put the sword back into its scabbard. At this moment, a thunderous cry suddenly came from the courtyard: "Kill the Hun Jun! Kill the Hun Jun, and the world will be at peace!"
When Chongzhen heard this shout, his whole body started to tremble. Hunjun is probably talking about him! The bandit has rushed into the yard and is about to kill him!
Thinking of this, Chongzhen was about to draw his sword again, but Cao Huachun had already rushed forward and hugged the sword tightly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, just wait... I will definitely come!"
Cao Huachun's words were not entirely deceiving. Because Zhu Cixiang's soldiers and horses had already rushed into Tianjin Acropolis at this time!
Although Wu Sanfu's fighting ability was not as good as that of his second brother Wu Sangui, he was still well-organized. After a while, he commanded the warriors to use logs to knock open the west gate of Tianjin Acropolis. Then he personally led the Yiding cavalry pretending to be a Han general to enter from the west gate, and instantly defeated the rebels who were besieging Feng Yuanyang on Ximen Long Street - the Han general was of course a good-looking guy, but it would be better to use the good-looking thing well. Can win the battle!
These guys in the honor guard couldn't fight each other, and they didn't know how to shoot from horseback, but they were very good at riding horses and marching in formation. Not only can they walk, but they can also maintain formation while running - they are just there to eat!
However, the momentum of the armored cavalry's attack was such that ordinary weak soldiers could only run away when they saw it. The rebels who were originally part of the Tianjin patrol who were fighting on Ximen Long Street were not elite. They were beaten when they saw the cavalry of the brigade rushing in, and it was too late to escape.
Therefore, the fake Yi Ding sudden cavalry has the effect of the real Yi Ding sudden cavalry!
The Yiding cavalry entered the city with an unstoppable momentum and immediately reversed the battle situation in Tianjin. Er Cao's weak soldiers, who had been hiding somewhere, all emerged from nooks and crannies, all of them unstoppable. And the rebels patrolling Tianjin and the booing people immediately fled in all directions - they are all natives of Tianjin, why can't they escape in Tianjin Acropolis?
Tianjin Bingbei Daoyuan Yuzong and Tianjin Xunbiao Yang Weihan are also slippery, and they have thought of their escape route early in the morning! Under their official uniforms and armor, they all wore common people's clothes! He also arranged confidants and hanging baskets on the north wall of Tianjin Wei. Seeing "Wu Sangui" coming in, who dared to fight head-on? They all took off their armor and official uniforms and walked out of the Tianjin Wei North Wall. There was also a boat arranged by Yuan Yuzong in advance on the canal dock outside the city. The two immediately boarded the boat and went to find Li Guo and Tang Tong's team.
While they were running away, Jin Bin and Lou Guangxian were also being chased with nowhere to hide. They were worth a lot of money. The soldiers who rushed into the city from the former Tianjin guard on the left and right (also their old man) The subordinates) were all crazy and wanted to capture them to collect the reward.
With Yuan Yuzong and Yang Weihan running away, Jin Bin and Lou Guangxian hiding in Tibet, the rebels in the Tianjin Acropolis were leaderless and without organized resistance.
This will hurt Hao Yaoqi and his men! More than two hundred people were all blocked in the large courtyard, where Emperor Chongzhen lived.
In other words, Hao Yaoqi's men were blocked in the courtyard by Zhu Cixiang's army, and Emperor Chongzhen was blocked by Hao Yaoqi in a two-story building in the courtyard...
The doors and windows of the small building were blocked, and Cao Youyi organized a dozen of Cao Huachun's relatives and descendants in the building to guard the entrances.
In the courtyard, there were corpses everywhere and blood stains everywhere. All Cao Youyi's servants had been killed in the battle, leaving only more than two hundred old soldiers of the shun army who were covered in blood.
But their situation is really not much better! Wu Sanfu had already led the Han generals to the perimeter of the courtyard and surrounded it, but he did not order an attack. Instead, he sent an order to Pan Shuchen, who had just been promoted to the post of Royal Horse Supervisor and Eunuch (his actual position had not changed), to come with firecrackers to support him, and at the same time sent people to persuade him to surrender.
Hao Yaoqi's eyes were already red with blood. He was unwilling to surrender, so he shouted loudly: "Shield! Bring the shield, I will hit it today! I will take the head of the Red Thief Emperor..."
Chongzhen, who was upstairs, heard Hao Yaoqi's roar and was so frightened that his calves trembled, and Zhou Hou also kept crying.
Looking at his wife who was crying like she was in tears, Emperor Chongzhen sighed: "Queen, the time has really come... let's go to hell together! Fortunately, Cixun is cunning and scheming, and he is the material to be a king in troubled times. The Ming Dynasty will not die." With what he has in his hands, you and I can rest in peace."
Although Queen Zhou didn't want to die, she also knew that it would be difficult to live today. She threw down the shield in her hand and sat in the corner crying. Cao Huachun did not stop Chongzhen from drawing his sword, and the old man also burst into tears. At this time, there was a banging sound on the door downstairs. After a loud bang, there was a loud shout: "Emperor Dog, accept your fate!"
Apparently, the door had been knocked open.
Emperor Chongzhen held up his sword and walked step by step to Empress Zhou. Empress Zhou closed her eyes and raised her head, waiting for death.
At this critical moment, someone outside the courtyard suddenly shouted: "His Majesty the Emperor has arrived, and all the officials are respectfully welcoming him!"
What? His Majesty the Emperor has arrived?
Everyone in the entire courtyard was stunned. Isn't the emperor in the small building? Why is there an emperor again? How many emperors were there in the Ming Dynasty?
