"Save Your Highness!" A roar came from behind.

Chongzhen turned his head and saw a group of Jinyiwei and armed eunuchs rushing to the front. The Jinyiwei, the leader, rushed to the door and hit the door hard. After a few strokes, he didn't open it. Two Jinyiwei came up from behind, and he swung his hammer and smashed it down, smashing the door to pieces.

Seeing that the Queen Zhou inside had already hung on the beam, and he was not good to go up to save the people by himself, Zhang Shuheng shouted to several eunuchs: "Save Your Highness the Queen!"

Several armed eunuchs threw away their bird guns, rushed into the house, and put Queen Zhou down from the beam. The two eunuchs fanned and pinched the people. After a while, Queen Zhou slowly woke up.

"Your Majesty! I wish you were dead and escorted Your Majesty to visit Nanjing!" Zhang Shuheng knelt on the ground and begged hard.

"I didn't expect that today, there will be such a loyal and righteous man like Zhang Aiqing! Unfortunately, it's too late." Chongzhen smiled bitterly.

"Your Majesty, it's time for me to have three hundred brocade-clothed soldiers and six hundred loyal and righteous men, who are willing to escort Your Majesty out of Chaoyang Gate! Thousands of cavalry of Wuweibo have arrived outside Chaoyang Gate, but the bandits are powerful and Wuweibo cannot enter the city, but will escort Your Majesty to tour Nanjing."

"I won't leave! I have made up my ambitions and die the country!" The stubborn Emperor Chongzhen refused to leave.

"Your Majesty, Zhu Chunchen, a dog thief, has already surrendered to the thief! He has dedicated His Royal Highness to the thief to ask for merit! If you don't leave, the Ming Dynasty will be over!" Zhang Shuheng said.

"What?" Chongzhen shouted and spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Your Majesty, Luo Yangxing, the left governor of the Jinyiwei, has also surrendered to the thief!" Zhang Shuheng gave Emperor Chongzhen another heavy blow.

"Hahaha!" Chongzhen laughed like crazy, staring at his blood-red eyes and shouting loudly, "I am not the king of the country that has been destroyed, all the ministers are the ministers of the country that has been destroyed!"

"Your Majesty, I escort Your Majesty Nanshou. When I arrive in Nanjing, I will definitely kill all the traitors for Your Majesty!"

Wang Chengen also knelt on the ground, burst into tears and advised him: "Your Majesty, it's better to listen to Zhang Baihu's words and leave quickly! Otherwise it would be too late!"

In Changchun Palace, Princess Kunxing hugged her sister Princess Zhaoren tightly. The two depended on each other and shivered. The thief army had broken through the city, and even the defenders were gone in the palace. The bandits would soon enter the palace. She could not imagine what would happen if she fell into the hands of the bandits.

"Your Highness Princess! Your Highness Princess!" someone shouted outside.

Princess Kunxing asked her personal palace maid to stand up and open the door. As soon as the door opened, a strong palace maid broke into the house and knelt on the ground to salute her: "Your Highness Princess, please come with me! I am here to save the princess from the city under the order of Wuweibo!"

"Wu Wei Bo? It's him? He's here! How's the father?" A bright light came out in Princess Kunxing's eyes.

"Go back to Your Highness, Your Majesty is fine. We will escort Your Majesty out of the city to the death!" said the man.

Princess Kunxing cried with joy: "Wuweibo, I know that you are a great hero who dares to act and behave, and you will not break your promise..."

The palace maid said, "Your Highness, please come with me."

"Who are you?" asked Princess Kunxing.

"I am a female soldier under Wu Weibo. I was ordered to come to the capital to lurk a month ago and wait for an opportunity to save people." The palace maid said. In fact, this palace maid is Zhang Shuheng's wife Wang Erniu, and an elite agent of Li Guodong's personal guards.

Princess Kunxing pulled her sister and stood up: "Okay, I'll go with you."

The same scene takes place everywhere in the Forbidden City, where agile women enter the Forbidden City and look for their own goals separately, such as Concubine Yuan, Empress Zhang Yan of the Apocalypse Emperor, and a palace maid named Fei Zhen'e, are also their goals.

In the Huangji Palace, Li Banghua knelt in front of Chongzhen: "If you leave like this, the thief will inevitably chase you. Please change your clothes with your husband."

"Li Xiantai, what do you mean?" Zhang Shuheng was shocked.

Li Banghua turned his head and bowed to Zhang Shuheng: "I am so grateful to Zhang Baihu who can take my family to leave. I am over 70 years old and have lived enough. I only hope to die for Your Majesty, and can compete for you, so that the thief thinks that Your Majesty has collapsed."

"Li Aiqing!" Chongzhen shed tears, "All the ministers in the court have surrendered the thief. Li Aiqing is such a loyal and righteous man, how can he commit suicide!"

"Your Majesty can go, and the old minister will die without regrets!"

Wang Chengen said: "Your Majesty, I'll listen to Li Xiantai, otherwise it would be too late."

Emperor Chongzhen took off his dragon robe with tears in his eyes and changed into Li Banghua's casual clothes. Then Li Banghua sat on the dragon chaise, poured a can of tincture oil on his body, took out the fire slit and lit the fire.

Another eunuch also voluntarily flowed down, replacing Wang Chengen and staying in the burning Huangji Hall.

Zhang Shuheng and his friends escorted Emperor Chongzhen and the Empress Zhou, Empress Zhang, Concubine Yuan, Fei Zhen'e, Princess Kunxing, Princess Zhaoren and Wang Chengen, etc., and left the Forbidden City from Donghua Gate to the east of the Forbidden City. When they left the Forbidden City, Zhang Shuheng did not forget to set fires everywhere.

The huge Forbidden City was filled with fire, and this magnificent palace was burned to a loss of ruins. Later, after the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, it was rebuilt on the ruins of the Forbidden City, which cost Dorgon a lot of money.

When Zhang Shuheng's Jinyiwei and the agents of the personal guards left the Forbidden City, they all changed into the clothes of the Shun Army. Emperor Chongzhen and his female relatives were all arranged to get on the car. Wang Chengen and more than 100 armed eunuchs walked with the special agents of the personal guards to escort the convoy out of the city. The female agents of the personal guards changed into the uniforms of the Shun Army Jianfu Camp and escorted the convoy with the male agents.

When the convoy was about to arrive at Chaoyang Gate, they met with the convoy transporting Wu Xiang's family and headed straight for Chaoyang Gate.

The Ming army originally stationed at Chaoyang Gate had all surrendered and transformed into the Dashun Army. But Zhang Shuheng had made arrangements. More than 100 agents disguised as Shun Army went to Chaoyang Gate and killed the rebels guarding the gate. Seeing the convoy coming, the agents immediately opened the Chaoyang Gate and released the convoy out of the city.

"The Forbidden City is gone! No, the dog emperor set fire to the Forbidden City!" Chen Yan, who had surrendered to Li Zicheng, shouted and pointed at the direction of the Forbidden City.

Li Zicheng looked in the direction of Chen Yan's finger and saw a red light in the sky in the direction of the Forbidden City. The flames reflected in pink smoke rushed into the night sky. He knew that the Forbidden City had caught fire, so he shouted: "My sons, go and put out the fire! Don't let Chongzhen, the foolish monarch, burn the Forbidden City! Rescue Chongzhen, you can't let him die!"

The rebel army immediately organized refugees and surrendered troops to rush to the Forbidden City, which had already soared into the sky.

This time, Li Zicheng originally came to the capital for a walk. He only wanted to negotiate terms with Emperor Chongzhen and make him king. He had never thought of conquering the capital before coming to the capital. Unexpectedly, in less than two days, the civil and military officials and generals in the capital actually opened the city to surrender, which made the rebel army easily attack the capital. What made Li Zicheng even more happy was that Zhu Chunchen surrendered and even gave the crown prince Zhu Cilang to his hands.

But the Forbidden City was burned by someone, which made Li Zicheng very depressed.

The fire in the Huangji Palace was extinguished, and the rebels snatched two charred corpses from the ruins, and fragments of dragon robe blown away by the wind were picked up around.

A former official from the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty said: "One body may be the tyrant Chongzhen monarch, and the other is the body of the eunuch, and it may be Wang Chengen's eunuch."

Li Zicheng widened his one-eyed eyes and cursed: "Chongzhen's tyrant monarch! He asked you to be the king of the eun and didn't want your throne. You refused, but you wanted to seek death. You still have to set fire when you die! If you want to bring the eun to the eun, you have to bear the crime of regicide and burn the palace?"

However, many Shun Army officers and soldiers had their eyes lit up at this time because they saw many untidy palace maids standing in the square in front of Huangji Gate, and they all escaped from the fire. When Zhang Shuheng set the fire, he did not want their lives, so the Jinyiwei cleared the palace maids and eunuchs before setting the fire.

In the army camp outside Zhengyang Gate, someone came to report to Li Yan: "Mr. Li, our people just escorted a convoy. After leaving the city from Chaoyang Gate, there were about 30 large cars. The young men just discovered that all the surrendered soldiers stationed at Chaoyang Gate were killed."

"It's broken!" Li Yan's heart skipped a beat, "It must be Li Daitao Zombie's plan of the Dog Emperor! The one who burned to death in the Forbidden City must be a fake emperor! Come here, order five thousand cavalry for me, and be sure to chase the Dog Emperor back!"

Hao Yaoqi walked up and volunteered to fight: "Military advisor, the last general led 5,000 cavalry to chase the dog emperor with you!"
