Before hanging himself, Chongzhen lifted the table

Chapter 6
However, in less than half an hour, most of the military attachés who had received the summons had arrived. That is to say, the two thousand households did not know which guard station they were from, so they had not arrived yet.

In the main hall, Wang Chengen served on the emperor's side, and the chamberlains on both sides were also Wang Chengen's people.

The military attaches in the palace stood in two rows according to their official positions, with different expressions.Some are excited, some are confused, and some are worried.

Emperor Chongzhen saw that the number of people was almost there, so he put down his ink brush, paused from writing and drawing plans for the next few days, looked up and glanced at the military attachés in front of him, and felt a little emotional.

Among the many military attachés in the capital, less than twenty died in front of them.Of course, there may be, but there is no record.

All the military attachés here were not those whom Emperor Chongzhen originally trusted the most.Isn't it a great irony that the person who received the most favor from the emperor turned his back on the emperor and the Ming Dynasty?

With these thoughts in mind, Emperor Chongzhen looked at them and said with a serious expression: "Now that the capital is in danger, I want to do something extraordinary to save the nation. You are my most trusted generals, are you willing to risk your lives with me?"

Hearing these words, these generals did not hesitate, their voices were loud, and they echoed in unison: "The last general is willing to die to serve his country!"

After finishing speaking, the left governor Liu Dai, who had the highest official position, hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much. The bandits are still far away. King Qin's edict has been issued, and all the troops from all over the country have arrived. We should be able to protect him." The capital is worry-free!"

The situation in the world is indeed not optimistic. Then Li Thief founded the country in Qin and claimed to have an army of one million, with great momentum!However, to say that the capital is in danger is still a bit unfounded for them.

Liu Dai said this, and other generals basically meant the same thing, or wanted to comfort the emperor, so they nodded in agreement.

But who would have expected that Emperor Chongzhen said firmly: "Yesterday, the bandits broke through Taiyuan. Once Shanxi falls, the bandits will surge in. How many generals will come to Qinwang? How will the capital be defended?"

After hearing this, all the generals were a little confused: What do you mean?Did the thieves break into Taiyuan yesterday?Taiyuan is not outside the capital city. If it happened yesterday, even if the message was delivered eight hundred miles away, it would take at least three or four days to receive it!Did the emperor make a slip of the tongue because he was anxious?

With this in mind, Deputy Commander He Zhen began to play: "Your Majesty, the army of bandits has just entered Jin. There are natural dangers along the Yellow River along the way, and Taiyuan is heavily guarded. Even if the bandits want to take Taiyuan, it will only take one or two." Month’s time, right?”

Among these military generals, even though he was the most knowledgeable and had a high military rank, he did not dare to point out the emperor's slip of the tongue, so he analyzed the current situation for the emperor so that the emperor could understand what he had just said wrong.

However, Emperor Chongzhen listened and shook his head and said: "I am not wrong. The defenders of Jin surrendered after hearing the news. Taiyuan fell yesterday. Governor Cai Maode committed suicide and died for his country..."

At this point, he saw that most of the generals in front of him didn't believe it. Knowing what they were thinking, he changed his words and asked, "Are you wondering how I know about the battle in Taiyuan, which is thousands of miles away?"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Liu Dai heard this and responded on behalf of other generals.

Emperor Chongzhen waited for his words and immediately explained: "I learned this from Emperor Taizu in a dream this morning! Emperor Taizu not only told me about Taiyuan, but also showed me what will happen in the future. thing."

At this point, he looked at Liu Dai and said: "More than a month later, an army of bandits came to the city. Liu Qing died for his country and his whole family burned themselves to death."

Then, Emperor Chongzhen looked at He Zhen and the other generals and told them one by one.

"He Qing was guarding Pingzemen, and the bandit army arrived. He led more than a thousand cavalry to fight hard and died in the battle." "The governor Qianshi He Zan, the bandit army approached the capital, fought against the enemy, and was shot to death by random arrows."

"Li Ruolian, a minister of the Zhenfu Division, was guarding Chongwen Gate. The city was destroyed and he hanged himself."

"Commander Gao Jia hanged himself to death together with his wife Xu, daughter-in-law Wang, daughter Gao, sister-in-law Liu, and niece Gao. Commander Liu Yisong hanged himself with his wife Wang. All 17 members of Gao Wencai's family committed suicide. .”

"..."

When Emperor Chongzhen pointed at them and introduced their future, everyone was very surprised and couldn't believe it!Not only is it hard to believe that Emperor Taizu is entrusting him with a dream, but it is also hard to believe that he will die soon, and his family will also die with him!
Although they had previously known that Emperor Taizu said in a dream that they were loyal ministers, they were happy about this.But at this moment, they still didn't want to believe it. They only had a few more months to go before their whole family would die. They really didn't want to accept such a result.

No, as soon as Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, Liu Dai began to play: "I think about it every day and dream about it at night. Your Majesty is worried about state affairs, so you have such a nightmare. I think it has been 270 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. , how could it be because of this time..."

Before he could finish speaking, Emperor Chongzhen interrupted him seriously. He glanced at the generals in front of him and said, "Emperor Taizu also gave me great power and warned me that only by doing extraordinary things can I have a chance to save the nation!"

After hearing this, Liu Dai and others still didn't believe it and wanted to persuade him again.

As a result, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly stood up, stretched out his hands to grab the imperial case in front of him, and lifted it up easily.

This time, he was prepared, so he lifted the imperial case smoothly and the things on it did not fall off like the first time.

This move immediately stunned all the generals, including Wang Chengen, and their eyes bulged out.

These are not civilian officials, but military generals.Naturally, he knew how heavy the imperial case before the emperor was.They themselves estimated that if they were to raise this imperial case, it would definitely be very difficult.

As for the emperor lifting the imperial case like this with such ease, that is absolutely impossible.

Moreover, the emperor in front of him was weak and had grown up in the palace. I had never heard of an emperor being so strong before. How could he be able to lift it so easily?

If one's jaw could fall to the ground, then in the hall right now, jaws would definitely "crack" all over the floor.

For them, this scene is not much different from seeing the legendary gods!

Emperor Chongzhen saw their dumbfounded looks and was very satisfied with the effect. He gently put down the imperial case and asked these people: "What do you think? Do you believe that Emperor Taizu has manifested his spirit?"

When he said this, everyone in the hall who was stunned came to their senses.

They looked at each other, each one was very surprised.The scene just now was really unbelievable!
