"But we are not the Jin soldiers or Mongolian soldiers. My prince is a very kind person. Your Majesty, please put down the sword in your hand. My prince said that he will not harm your royal family members." Wang Dahui advised. He was very disdainful of Prince Tang's kindness. In his opinion, it would save trouble if these royal family members died. However, since such an order was given from above, he, Wang Dahui, could only try his best to carry it out seriously. What the people above thought was not his business.
"Haha... mercy, a merciful King Tang, the Ming Dynasty is finished, how can I live on..." Emperor Chongzhen laughed loudly, and there was an indescribable sadness in that laughter. It was the end of a hero. Emperor Chongzhen might not be called a hero. With his arrogance, how could he face the end of the Ming Dynasty?
Wang Dahui was not qualified to respond to what Emperor Chongzhen said. Perhaps, if Tang Tong were here, he could make a promise to Emperor Chongzhen to retain a constitutional royal family without any power, and it was not impossible for Tang Tong to agree. However, even if Wang Dahui knew what Tang Tong was thinking, he could not promise anything on Tang Tong's behalf. What's more, Wang Dahui did not know what Tang Tong was thinking, and even mistakenly thought that Tang Tong wanted to capture these people from the Ming royal family to show off when he founded his own dynasty. Among the dozen or so people present, some even mistakenly thought that their Prince Tang was interested in the constitutional royal concubines here, so he asked them to come and protect these people.
"Father..." The Princess of Changping was stunned by the news that Emperor Chongzhen was going to kill them. At this moment, she reacted when she heard the mournful voice of her father. She screamed and wanted to rush to Emperor Chongzhen, but was held back by someone. In these people's hearts, the death of Emperor Chongzhen might not matter. But if these royal princesses died, even if Prince Tang would not blame them, some of Prince Tang's subordinates would blame them, because it had become a habit for Tang and his subordinates to plunder the princesses' ladies in other countries. It was a very ostentatious thing to have a princess empress or something like that among the women around them. But now the Princess of Ming Dynasty was the woman with the most noble status in the world. If she died in front of these people, she would definitely have no food to eat in the future, and someone might even put the blame on them.
The Princess of Changping struggled to free herself from the man's grasp, but as a petite and weak woman, she was no match for those skilled in martial arts. Wang Dahui didn't bother to argue with Emperor Chongzhen. With a wave of his hand, he and several others rushed forward and subdued Emperor Chongzhen. Wang Chengen howled and lunged at them, trying to protect Emperor Chongzhen while cursing, "You scoundrels who deserve to be hacked to pieces! How could you treat the Emperor like this..."
One of them became impatient and knocked Wang Chengen unconscious with one hand. When the other palace maids and eunuchs saw that these people had captured Emperor Chongzhen, they all fled outside. Although there were still guards loyal to the Ming Dynasty in the palace, their number was not large, and Tang Tong's siege army was moving very fast. Wang Dahui and his men did not have to wait long. The vanguard of Tang Tong's army had already reached the foot of the imperial city.
The last Ming soldiers defending the city were already few in number. When Tang Tong broke the city, a large number of them chose to surrender, and another group of people fled. The remaining Ming soldiers who could resist did not last long. Therefore, from the moment the city was broken, Tang Tong's army was unstoppable and soon occupied the entire capital.
Seeing that Tang Tong's army had entered the imperial city at such a fast speed, Emperor Chongzhen knew that the Ming Dynasty was really over. At this time, his expression calmed down. Not long after, Emperor Chongzhen's empress, Concubine Tian, Concubine Yuan, Princess Changping and other concubines, as well as princes were brought to Emperor Chongzhen's palace. Even Emperor Tianqi's widow, Empress Zhang, was brought in. Empress Zhang was about to commit suicide, but was rescued by Tang Tong's spies who rushed in.
"Can you let me take one last look at this imperial city? You are the fellow villager of Cheng'en's family, right? Since Cheng'en has always treated you well, please let me take one last look at this imperial city." Emperor Chongzhen said calmly to Wang Dahui. This was probably the first time that Emperor Chongzhen had asked someone for help in more than ten days. Although his heart was very calm, he still felt uncomfortable asking for help.
Wang Dahui hesitated for a moment but finally agreed. After all, he had been an undercover agent here for so many years and had some feelings for this place. At the same time, he felt a little guilty about capturing Emperor Chongzhen. Naturally, Wang Dahui was willing to accept this not-so-big request from Emperor Chongzhen. Besides, Tang Tong's men had basically controlled the imperial city, so it was unlikely that Emperor Chongzhen would cause any trouble. So, he and a dozen other people escorted Emperor Chongzhen and let him stand on a high place to look at the Ming Dynasty's imperial palace.
Emperor Chongzhen looked at the palace with layers of mountains calmly and affectionately, and two lines of tears slowly flowed down. Then, this emperor who had been diligent and struggling all his life smiled and jumped from a height facing the fierce wind.
