"The current situation in the world is due to the hands of this person. He must be responsible for this and bear the guilt."
Lu Ping said categorically that he had no intention of saving Chongzhen.
Chongzhen was furious.
"Slave dog, I am the emperor, how can I allow you to be disobedient?"
However, the big guy just looked at this madman with cold eyes and showed no respect for him.
Chongzhen mourned for a while and found that no one was afraid of him. He made a big fuss and became more and more frustrated.
Seeing that Lu Ping was unwilling to save Chongzhen, Wang Chengen slowly shook his head.
"Our family has been serving the emperor since we were young. We have been serving him all our lives, and we have long been used to it. Today, the emperor cannot be left alone, but we cannot let him be alone."
This old eunuch decided to accompany Chongzhen until the end.
Qin Hui had three friends, so naturally some people couldn't let go of Chongzhen.
In the main hall, there were cries everywhere.
Lu Ping wanted to say something else, but when the words came to his lips, he had no choice but to hold them back.
Everyone has his own ambitions.
He could only admire Wang Chengen's choice.
In the entire palace, only Wang Chengen was really kind to him over the years.
"Ancestor, I will visit your tomb, offer incense and take care of your affairs every year from now on."
Wang Chengen understood what he meant.
"You are a good boy. It's worthy of our family's love for you."
He looked at the capable men and horses around Lu Ping and finally asked: "The city is about to be destroyed. Why don't you run for your life? What are you doing here?"
Lu Ping pointed at Queen Zhou, several princes and princesses and said: "Your Highness said that although this emperor is a heinous man, the woman and children are innocent. If he is willing, we can escort him out and let them live in peace for the rest of their lives."
In a time of endless despair, life suddenly appeared, and Queen Zhou and others were all pleasantly surprised.
"Huang...Director Huang, you...can you really save the children of the Ai family?"
After all, Queen Zhou is a mother. When the country is in ruins, the most worrying thing is one's own children.
She understood deeply what this meant to her children.
But Chongzhen was different.
"My child will die as long as he dies. He will live with the country. He does not need the mercy of you traitors. He, Zuo Mengeng, does not want to attack my child to fulfill his ambition."
Lu Ping's face turned cold.
"Emperor, your child is not that important yet. Our Xia Kingdom does not need to be so dirty. By the way, let me tell you that my Highness is already preparing for the enthronement ceremony. By then, he will rule the world and form his own legal system, which is different from your Ming Dynasty. Half relationship."
As if struck by lightning, Chongzhen took a few steps back and fell into a chair.
"Zuo Mengeng is also going to proclaim himself emperor?"
He knew that although what Lu Ping said was unpleasant, it was the truth.
Once Zuo Menggeng completes proclaiming himself emperor and establishing a country, his children will have no value in holding him hostage.
Queen Zhou crawled all the way to Chongzhen with pear blossoms in the rain, hugged his legs, and begged.
"Your Majesty, I have long made up my mind to follow Your Majesty. But the children...the children are still young. Please leave some incense to Your Majesty!"
Chongzhen was suspicious of everyone throughout his life, but he was extremely loyal to Queen Zhou.
Faced with Queen Zhou's request, he wavered.
"What does Zuo Mengengen plan to do with my child?"
Lu Ping told the truth.
"Being born into an emperor's family and experiencing the ruin of the country and family is already miserable enough. From now on, when they arrive in the Xia Kingdom, they can live in peace and contentment."
Chongzhen was the emperor after all, and he had a lot of thoughts.
"Isn't Zuo Mengeng afraid that they will grow up in the future and try to revive the country?"
Lu Ping's face was full of energy and energy.
"Our Xia Kingdom is so powerful, and the people are so attached to it. How can a mere child make waves? They can just live peacefully. If their ambitions really expand, they will have to ask for all the consequences."
Chongzhen was full of taste.
Just because of these confident words, he didn't know how many times he longed for it in his dreams. However, Ming Dynasty's declining country and national power gave him no confidence at all.
It is really unbelievable that even a small person in Xia Kingdom is better than him.
"I'm just afraid... I'm just afraid that some people in Jiangnan will not give up and harm them."
Lu Ping still told the truth.
"Jiangnan is about to be recovered by our Xia Kingdom. There is no need for the emperor to worry. Those who obey me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish. Those who do not understand the current affairs will surely die without a burial place."
Hearing that Xia was about to attack Jiangnan, Chongzhen gave up even his last hope.
Yes.
Nowadays, the world is in chaos, and all forces are advancing rapidly, but Xia Kingdom seems a little quiet.
This is unreasonable.
But it turned out that he was holding back his ultimate move in Jiangnan.
After everything was figured out, Chongzhen also let go.
He waved and asked Zhu Cixiang to come closer.
"From now on, you are no longer the prince. The days ahead will be difficult, but your younger brothers and sisters need your care, so you have to endure it. You are a man, can you promise your father to support the sky?"
Zhu Cixiang couldn't stop crying at all, but he was already sensible.
"My child promises... I promise my father that from now on I will be peaceful and take good care of my younger brother and younger sister."
Chongzhen called Princess Changping to him again.
"My child, my father... my father doesn't really want to kill you. But after the Ming Dynasty died, I am afraid that you will be humiliated if you are a girl. From now on, when my father and mother are gone, you will be the eldest sister. You must help me." Take care of your elder brother and your younger brothers and sisters, you know?"
Zhu Yuluo had not yet woken up from the shock. She just nodded blankly, not understanding what these words meant.
Empress Zhou waited for Chongzhen to finish confessing his last words, and she couldn't bear it any longer. She held the children in her arms and cried so hard that her heart broke.
Lu Ping was always calm.
"Emperor, Queen, time is running out, we have to evacuate."
Queen Zhou took out a jade pendant from her arms and stuffed it into Zhu Cixiang's hand.
"My mother can only give you so much. Don't take it out unless you have to. Remember, this thing is very valuable and can be exchanged for a lot of money. If someone gives you less, you won't exchange it."
Zhu Cixi didn't know what the outside world was like, so he could only nod blankly.
Empress Zhou finally felt relieved, let go of the children, handed them over to Lu Ping and others, and then bowed.
"I will leave all matters to you in the future. If anything happens to my child, even though I am a woman, I will seek justice from you in the eighteenth level of hell."
The decisive words did not scare Lu Ping, he remained calm.
"As I said before, as long as they don't mess around, everything will be fine. The queen doesn't need to swear. What I, the Xia Kingdom, said will definitely count."
These calm words are even more powerful.
"Let's go."
Fighting and shouting could be faintly heard in the air, which meant that the inner city could be breached by the Shun army at any time.
Lu Ping did not dare to delay, and together with Han Chuan, he protected several princes and princesses and ran out.
In the Palace of Qianqing, Chongzhen, Queen Zhou, Wang Chengen and others looked at the children who were leaving quickly, and they became increasingly lonely.
Next, they have to accept their fate.
