Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 19 Shameless!Extremely shameless!
The Qianqing Palace fell into silence.The sun had set, and the house was pitch black.Both father and son were silent, neither of them had the heart to call the servants of the palace to light the candles.Just being swallowed by the darkness of night.

After a long time, Zhu Su, who was in a turbulent mood, said slowly: "Poor Chongzhen, if he was born in a peaceful age, he might also be a conservative king."

"In the seventh year of the apocalypse, Chongzhen's elder brother who had been hiding in the palace and worked as a carpenter for seven years passed away, leaving this broken world in the hands of Chongzhen, who was only sixteen years old."

"In November of that year, Chongzhen punished Wei Zhongxian, the power eunuch, uprooted the eunuch party, and appointed Donglin party members who were famous for their "loyalty" and "virtuous virtue". The Ming Dynasty, which had been in decline for decades, had a faint trace of ZTE meteorological."

"At that time, all the people in Beijing clapped their hands and cheered. They all rejoiced that the Ming Dynasty finally ushered in a young Mingjun, a new ZTE master."

"It's impossible to imagine, huh." Zhu Su's voice was full of sarcasm. "What 'loyalty' and 'virtuousness' are just another group of useless and shameless people."

"'On weekdays, talk about your heart and mind, and die in the face of danger to repay the king'. They have gained fame in later generations, but this great Ming Dynasty has completely sunk in the so-called 'All Zhengying Dynasty'."

"Speak." Old Zhu's voice remained flat, "Here we go, continue."

"...The night of March 17, [-]th year of Chongzhen. As the last emperor of Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen already knew that he was powerless to return to heaven."

"He arranged for the three princes to escape from the capital, and then returned to the harem. He ordered the queen and concubine to hang themselves, and drew his sword to kill his concubine."

"Even his two favorite daughters were endured by him..."

"One of them is only 15 years old, and the other is only six years old..."

Zhu Su turned his head and couldn't continue.Lao Zhu's body in the dark shook, and two lines of tears trickled down from Emperor Hongwu's tiger eyes.

Those are my descendants!

"Speak, continue." He stared at Zhu Su in the dark.

Zhu Su let out a foul breath, and continued: "The next day, on March 17th, [-]th year of Chongzhen, all the people in the palace were scattered. Chongzhen personally went to the front hall to ring the bell, and sat in the hall to wait for the officials to enter the court."

"However, after waiting for a day, no one entered the palace to face the saint..."

"..." Old Zhu's eyes froze.The emperor himself rang the bell, but no one entered the court...

This is the top and bottom of the court, and there is not even a Zhongliang left.

"Go on." He said coldly.There was an uncontrollable suffocation in the voice.

"...At that time, Li Zicheng had already invaded the imperial city. Emperor Chongzhen took the eunuch Wang Chengen, and hanged himself in Meishan."

"One rope at the end... Heh, one rope at the end..." Lao Zhu finally understood the meaning of one rope at the end.He gritted his teeth, and his voice seemed to come from the Nine Nether Hells.

"...Before he died, Emperor Chongzhen left the last will." Zhu Su continued.

"'My virtue is contemptuous, and heaven blames me,'"

"'But all the ministers misunderstood me. When I die, I will see my ancestors without a face. I will go to the crown to cover my face.'"

"'Let the thieves split my corpse, without harming the common people...one person'..."

Zhu Su said slowly, the edict of the last emperor of the Ming Empire, like a thunderbolt, exploded in the ears of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help standing up, eyes full of regret.

"He... he said so?"

"...Yes." Zhu Su nodded.

"Good boy... this is a good boy!" Zhu Yuanzhang's tears finally flowed down uncontrollably.He seemed to have seen a young man wearing a dragon robe, kneeling in the ruins, begging for forgiveness from his ancestor with a face full of shame.

Even before he died, he was still worried about whether the bandits would anger the people!
"We... we don't blame you, you must have tried your best, if you want to blame, blame those treacherous officials, corrupt officials, rebels, and Tartars!"

Old Zhu gritted his teeth and paced back and forth in the Qianqing Palace anxiously.

"Those rebellious officials and thieves dare to insult our descendants like this!"

"Let him die with resentment!"

"No!" Zhu Su also gritted his teeth in hatred. "Back then, the treasury was poor, and the imperial court could not pay the army. Chongzhen had no choice but to raise money from the ministers of the court. It took a lot of effort to raise 12 taels of silver."

"However, after Li Zicheng entered Beijing, 7000 million vehicles of silver were confiscated in Beijing! Most of them came from officials of the DPRK and China!"

"What!" Old Zhu couldn't believe it.

The thief was able to copy 7000 million taels, and the emperor turned down his face, but only raised 12 taels? ?
Is this sending beggars?
Which of these court ministers read the books of sages and sages, and they are full of benevolence, justice and morality.

It's so... so...

"Shameless, extremely shameless!" Lao Zhu roared angrily.

"There are even more shameless ones." Zhu Su snorted.

"There is a leader of the Donglin Party named Qian Qianyi. Hearing the news of Guo Pojun's death, his concubine was overwhelmed with grief and advised him to throw himself into the water together."

"This guy is scared when he reaches the river! He said 'the water is too cold' and dared not die."

"When the Jianzhou Jurchens invaded the Central Plains, they issued a 'hair-shaving order', ordering all Han people to shave their hair into rat tails. They also declared, 'Leave your head but not your hair, keep your hair but not your head.'"

"This guy actually took the lead in responding, directly throwing away the sage's instruction of 'body, hair and skin, obey parents', and shaved his hair into an ugly rat tail!"

"His concubine questioned him, but he was shameless and said that he shaved his head because of 'itchy scalp'!"

"As a member of the imperial court and the leader of the Donglin Party, he is so shameless that he claims to be a moral gentleman on weekdays!"

"In the future, this fellow will even serve as the servant of the Ministry of Rites in the court of the Tartars!"

Zhu Su said bitterly.

"Hehe, 'the water is too cold', 'the scalp itches'... ok, ok..."

Old Zhu laughed back in anger, the veins on his forehead twitched violently, and blood even penetrated his pupils.

Qian Qianyi's shamelessness became the last straw that crushed Lao Zhu's reason.

He staggered and walked to the sword stand.Suddenly, with a clang, he drew out the precious sword that had followed him to conquer the world and beheaded countless thieves and Tartars.

"Shameless traitor!"

"Give us death!!!"

A cold light flashed, and the hard and thick golden nanmu imperial table was split into two pieces!
"His Majesty?"

The gate of Qianqing Palace was suddenly pushed open.Two tigers and a group of soldiers rushed in hastily with long knives on their waists and torches in their hands.

After seeing that there was no one else in the palace, only His Majesty and the Fifth Prince who were still angry, and the table that had been split in two, Er Hu froze.

Your majesty is talented, and he clearly called out the traitor...

What about the traitor?
"Back off..." Old Zhu still stared at the desk that had been split in half.After all, the case on the table was not Qian Qianyi, he held the sword in his hand, and felt that his breath was suffocating, and his chest was tightly congested.

"Your Majesty?" Erhu looked at him worriedly.

"Let's say, step back!" Lao Zhu roared angrily, and Erhu was so frightened that he hurriedly led the guards back down in a desperate manner.

"...Old Fifth." After a long time, Lao Zhu managed to calm down his thoughts.

"It's getting late. You should step back first."

"We're tired. We need to have a good rest."

Ming Taizu, who was determined to dominate the country and swallow thousands of miles like a tiger, seemed to be decades old at this time.

"...Yes." Zhu Su glanced at Father Cheap worriedly, and bowed in response.

He couldn't help feeling a little regretful.When it comes to the chaos at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it is inevitable to get a little excited, and it seems to have stimulated Lao Zhu.

Seeing that Lao Zhu was still in a daze, Zhu Su saluted and retreated softly towards the palace gate.

"Fifth." Lao Zhu spoke again.

"Huh? I'm here."

"Remember, what you said to us today is not allowed to be said outside." Old Zhu said.

"...Yes." Zhu Su nodded.He still knows how serious it is.Naturally, I won't talk nonsense outside.

"Go. Close the door. Let's rest for a while." Lao Zhu waved his hand, and regardless of the mess on the ground, he turned around slowly with his sword in his hand, and sat on the grand master's chair in the middle.

Zhu Su nodded again. He walked backwards to the door and closed it gently.

The last thing I saw through the crack of the door was Emperor Hongwu's devouring eyes.

　Guys, don’t you want to invest in a monthly pass...
