Chapter 112 The Fate of Chongzhen

Standing on the huge square in front of the Imperial Palace of the Forbidden City, that is, the Taihe Hall of the later generations, and looking up at the magnificent Huangji Hall in front of him, Xiao Tianjian suddenly found that the Huangji Hall in front of him was not different from the Taihe Hall he had visited in later generations. Although it was also a resplendent and carved and painted building, Obviously, this imperial hall is not the Taihe hall left by the Manqing Dynasty.

After thinking about it carefully, Xiao Tianjian suddenly realized that in fact, the Huangji Hall he saw now was not the Taihe Hall left by the Qing Dynasty that he had seen in later generations.

He suddenly remembered that after Li Zicheng entered Beijing in history, he could not keep the foundation he had built. As soon as he entered Beijing for dozens of days, he was defeated by Jiannu. After he hurriedly ascended the throne in the Forbidden City, he fled from Beijing the next day. Before leaving, Li Zicheng was unwilling to let the Forbidden City be left to Jiannu, so he ordered to set fire. Burning the Forbidden City, a fire almost burned down the Forbidden City at that time, leaving only a few halls. The Imperial Palace was set on fire by Li Zicheng. Later, after Jiannu entered the customs, it cost a lot of money to repair the Forbidden City during the Shunzhi period, and built the later Taihe Hall and many palaces, so at this time he saw There is still a big difference between the Forbidden City and the Forbidden City seen in later generations.

Behind him is the Huangji Gate, known as the Taihe Gate in later generations. The emperors of the Ming Dynasty after Zhu Di listened to the government at the Imperial Gate, and received congratulations from all people in this Huangji Hall.

But in a few days, this place is already empty. Zhu Youjian, the owner here, has gone before his arrival. Although Xiao Tianjian knows that even without his appearance, Chongzhen can only stay in this glorious palace for less than three years at most, but because of his appearance, Chong Zhen's Ming Dynasty was destroyed by him three years earlier than history.

Now when he set foot here, he announces the beginning of a new history. He buried the already rotten Ming Dynasty and opened a new historical chapter. Unlike history, now he no longer has to worry about the slaves outside the customs before he comes here.

After more than two months of the Battle of Shanhaiguan and the Battle of Tongzhou, today's Jiannu can be said to have disappeared. In just two or three months, the Jiannu army roared in Liaodong and tasted their worst defeat in history in front of his Dazhong army.

Huang Taiji led 200,000 Jiannu troops to the south. Although Abatai and Hauge led their troops into the pass, fortunately, they went north in time. Before Abatai and Hauge swept the capital, they blocked them outside Tongzhou City, and under the First World War, they almost completely annihilated Abatai's troops. In this war alone, they not only did Abatai, who was ordered to be a general, almost brought him and Hager into the customs and killed him. Unfortunately, until now, they have not caught Hagrid, and I don't know if Hagrid has escaped or died somewhere.

Then in the battle of Shanhaiguan, he led the army to defeat the remaining Jiannu army led by Huang Taiji, forcing him to flee back to Liaodong in frustration. In the past two months, he lost more than half of the centaur and a large number of armor materials, so that Jiannu had been completely lost in a short period of time. The ability to go south and enter the bandits. At least for two or three years, they can't restore their strength, let alone coveting Guannei anymore.

So by this time of history, he has nothing to worry about Jiannu! And there will not be a crisis like the one after Li Zicheng entered Beijing.

The Ming Dynasty is over! When he stepped into the capital, he was completely swept into the garbage heap of history. The next thing he had to do was to unify the world as quickly as possible. However, the disappearance of Chongzhen always made him feel gloom in his heart.

He knows better than anyone that a mountain can't tolerate two tigers. The world has been ruled by their Zhu family for nearly 300 years. Under the subtlety, there are quite a lot of people in the world who regard their Zhu family as orthodoxy. They feel that no matter what their Zhu family does, they should sit in the world, so Chongzhen is now in the eyes of many people. He is still a decent emperor. If he doesn't catch him, once he slips out of Beijing, goes anywhere and waves his arms, there will be a lot of fools who will follow him against Dazhong.

There are also the three princes, even if Chongzhen is dead, as long as they are used by people with intentions, they will immediately support a small court. Then this small court can gather many people with ulterior motives or loyal to the Ming Dynasty to do separatism. The identity of these three princes is compared with the blessing of Nanming in history. Wang Zhu came from Youlai, which is much more powerful, so if these four people are not found, the road to unifying the world will be much more difficult for him. I don't know how many more people will die in the war.

Thinking of this, Xiao Tianjian was in a good mood, and even the mood of continuing to appreciate the Forbidden City in front of him suddenly disappeared. Suddenly, he said to the iron head who followed him, "Let's go! Let's go to the Coal Mountain!"

Tietou and Yu Linwei couldn't help but be stunned. Now they have finally taken the Forbidden City. These two eyes are almost too busy, but Xiao Tianjian doesn't seem to be happy about occupying the imperial city. Suddenly, he proposed to go to Coal Mountain. However, since Xiao Tianjian proposed to go to Coal Mountain, then he We had to follow him. Anyway, the Forbidden City will be Xiao Tianjian's in the future. They have to check in with them. It's okay to see it later. So Yulinwei, who was brought by Tietou, immediately took the order and immediately brought the war horse. Xiao Tianjian didn't care that this was the Forbidden City. He turned over and took a group of Yulinwei and immediately wore it. After crossing the Forbidden City and galloping towards the Xuanwu Gate in the north, the soldiers who guarded along the way immediately stood up and saluted. Some people were even thinking about it with bad taste. What did their emperor want to do when he ran to the harem so loudly?

Coal Mountain is just outside the Xuanwu Gate of the Forbidden City, also known as Long Live Mountain. Originally, there were small mountains here in the Yuan Dynasty, which were called Qingshan. Later, when Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing and built the Forbidden City, the river mud and loess dug out of the moat were piled up here, forming the current coal mountain, and all kinds of flowers and plants were planted. The trees have become the back garden of the Royal Forbidden City. The emperor and concubines often play here. It is not a place for ordinary people to come here. At this time, although it is still very chaotic in the capital, most of the ordinary people run back to their homes one after another, closed the courtyard door and lay tremblingly on the crack of the door. Looking at the outside.

Although it has long been circulated among the people that the Dazhong army is very benevolent and never kills innocents indiscriminately, this is after all a hearsay. Nowadays, the soldiers in the capital are in chaos. No one can guarantee that there is any good fruit to eat when walking on the street, so they all hide in their homes to wait and see the situation. Therefore, although the capital has not been fully controlled by the military. It is restrained, but there are not many people on the street.

So no one will run to the coal mountain to stroll at this time, so when Xiao Tianjian came to the foot of the coal mountain with Yu Linwei, there was basically no one here. Only a group of soldiers and horses just sent by Liu Yaoben were climbing the coal mountain with torches and were searching comprehensively. Mountain.

The reason why Xiao Tianjian left the Forbidden City uncomfortable at this time is actually because he knew that after Li Zicheng entered Beijing in history, Chongzhen was desperate and did not want to surrender to Li Zicheng. Finally, he chose to run to the coal mountain and die. Now history has been repeated by him in advance. God knows whether Chongzhen will He still took this road, so Xiao Tianjian immediately took people to the coal mountain to verify whether Chongzhen would still end his life here according to the trajectory of history.

A group of feather forest guards escorted Xiao Tianjian and strode to the coal mountain. The surrounding area was full of torches. With Liu Yaoben's deployment, more and more soldiers began to concentrate in the area of the coal mountain and launched a big search. From time to time, some maid eunuchs who escaped from the public were caught by them and then detained from the mountain. Send it down.

Xiao Tianjian saw many eunuch maids who had been escorted along the way, which made people immediately ask them if they had seen Emperor Chongzhen.

These eunuch maids shook their heads like frightened birds, so Xiao Tianjian continued to walk all the way to the mountain.

Everyone doesn't understand why Xiao Tianjian attaches so much importance to the coal mountain. In their opinion, the capital is so big that even if Chongzhen escapes from the Forbidden City, there are many ministers' homes in the capital. He can find a trustworthy minister's family to hide first, and he won't run to this small coal mountain to hide!

However, Xiao Tianjian insisted on searching for the coal mountain overnight and came to the coal mountain in person, so that they could not object. After all, the coal mountain is at the back door of the Forbidden City. Xiao Tianjian suspected that Chongzhen fled here, which was not unreasonable.

So under the will of Xiao Tianjian, even Yu Linwei immediately joined the search for mountains...

Just as Xiao Tianjian came to a small pavilion and just sat down to rest, someone ran to his position. When he was blocked outside the pavilion by Yu Linwei, someone shouted, "Your Majesty! The dog emperor has been found! ......”

Xiao Tianjian just sat down, and his buttocks were not warm. Hearing this voice, he stood up. He strode out of the pavilion and grabbed the team who came to report and asked, "Really? Where is he? ......”

When Xiao Tianjian, under the leadership of this team, quickly walked to an inconspicuous place at the northern foot of the Coal Mountain, he suddenly saw that there were many generals of the Dazhong army gathered in front of him, and they lit up here with a lot of lanterns and torches.

In the distance, Xiao Tianjian saw a man in a yellow robe hanging on a pine tree, and on a tree not far away, there was also a person hanging there, swaying slowly with the breeze.

Xiao Tianjian's heart skipped a beat. Although he hasn't come close to it, who else can wear a yellow robe embroidered with a dragon pattern in this era?

So he immediately went under the pine tree and looked up. He saw the man in a dragon yellow robe hanging on the branch, and there were two trembling eunuchs kneeling beside him.

"Your Majesty! This person is the dog emperor Chongzhen! These two eunuchs have been confirmed!" The person in charge of taking care of this is Liu Yao's company commander. As soon as he saw Xiao Tianjian walking, he immediately greeted Xiao Tianjian with a happy face and said to Xiao Tianjian like a treasure.
