Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 255 Chapter 255, the British public was surprised, and Emperor Chongzhen was very happy
Tongguan.

The British public stood on the chariot, looking at the mighty Ming army behind them, feeling proud in their hearts.

"Even without His Highness the Crown Prince, with this army alone, I should be able to destroy Li Zicheng!"

All the subordinates naturally agreed with the words of the Duke of England.

"What the Lord said is true."

"His Royal Highness is indeed a talented man, but you are also a top general."

"Double walls of the empire!"

The British Duke laughed out loud and waved his hands: "Okay, that's enough. I just need to brag about myself. I still know the gap with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Not long after passing Tongguan, it is considered to have officially entered the Guanzhong Plain.

The British Duke looked at the Guanzhong Plain in front of him, his heart became more and more proud, and he was about to say something, when suddenly a piece of news came.

"My lord, this is an urgent letter from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

The British public received the letter, and after reading the contents, his expression gradually became strange.

Seeing this, the surrounding generals couldn't help asking.

"My lord, could something have happened?"

"His Royal Highness won't fail?"

"Should we hurry up and march?"

The British Duke sighed, and said: "What kind of army are you going to enter? Pass down the order, and the whole army will set up camp on the spot, and the squadron will be dispatched tomorrow."

After listening to the British Duke's words, the generals were taken aback for a moment, and then became anxious.

"My lord, we haven't finished the battle yet, how can we be teachers?"

"My lord, the city of Xi'an is coming soon."

The British Duke raised his voice: "The city of Xi'an has been captured by His Royal Highness, Li Zicheng is dead, and Dashun is also dead! Tell me, why are we going to Xi'an?"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

After a while, someone couldn't help shouting: "How is this possible? It's only been a few days."

The British Duke shook his head and sighed: "Of course it is impossible for others, but for His Royal Highness, everything is possible."

At the moment, the British prince felt both joy and disappointment.

The joy was naturally due to the elimination of Li Zicheng, and the Ming Dynasty would no longer have internal troubles, but the loss came from Zhu Cihong.

"His Royal Highness, you are only 16 years old this year!"

The messenger went all the way north and delivered the news to Emperor Chongzhen as quickly as possible.

Wang Chengen rushed into the main hall, his voice trembling when he spoke: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has broken through the city of Xi'an, and Li Zicheng is dead!"

Chongzhen, who was picking up his pen to review the memorial, shook his body and the brush in his hand suddenly fell to the ground.

"D-Really?"

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely true!"

Chongzhen snatched the battle report from Wang Chengen's hand. After reading it, he burst into laughter.

"It's great, it's really great!"

The laughter was extremely loud and spread far away, which showed how happy Chongzhen was.

After a long time, Chongzhen stopped laughing and let out a long breath.

"Da Ming, you're safe!"

At this moment, Chongzhen's eyes were filled with tears, and his voice was a little choked up.

Once upon a time, Chongzhen even thought that he would become a king of subjugation.

But now, everything has come to an end.

Jiannu was repulsed.

Zhang Xianzhong died.

Li Zicheng also died.

Daming, you're getting better!
Wang Chengen was also very excited, and said: "This is all because of His Majesty's command and control. His Royal Highness and the Duke of England led the soldiers to fight bloody battles. It is the aspiration of thousands of people in Ming Dynasty!"

Chongzhen calmed down, and said: "Go, hurry up and report this news to the world, so that the whole world will know about Daming's victory!"

Wang Chengen left happily.

Chongzhen sat quietly for a while and then stood up.

"Come here, arrange carriages and horses, I'm going to the ancestral temple to offer sacrifices to my ancestors!"

Half an hour later, in the Daming Ancestral Temple.

Chongzhen respectfully offered incense to his ancestors, and then sat down on the only futon in the ancestral temple.

Chongzhen quietly stared at the many tablets enshrined in front of him. The top one was naturally Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of Ming Dynasty, then Zhu Di, Chengzu of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Gaochi, Emperor Renzong of Ming Dynasty...all the way to his father Zhu Changluo of Mingguangzong, and his brother Zhu You of Mingxi Zong. school.

Chongzhen smiled and spoke slowly.

"Ancestors, I, Zhu Youjian, am incompetent, and I know this very well. So after inheriting the great Ming dynasty, I am terrified."

"I work hard day and night, sleeping only a little bit every day, in order to make Ming Dynasty better and have fewer problems."

"The eunuchs were causing trouble to Chao Gang, so I killed Wei Zhongxian. The officials were overstaffed, so I kept replacing them and replacing them with new ones."

"The establishment of slaves is very fierce, so I will look for good generals and call on the Ming Dynasty to live frugally and give full support to the battle against Liaodong."

"I did everything I could, but after more than ten years, Daming has not changed for the better, but worsened day by day."

"It's so weird."

"Sometimes I think, maybe this is really my lack of ability, maybe I really shouldn't be the emperor."

"But what can I do?"

"When Li Zicheng hit the city of Beijing, I felt that Ming Dynasty was going to perish, and I, Zhu Youjian, was going to be the king of subjugation."

"I am ashamed of my ancestors!"

"For more than 200 years in the Ming Dynasty, the country was destroyed by me, Zhu Youjian. What kind of face do I have to go to Jiuquan?"

Chongzhen wiped his eyes, calmed down his emotions, and suddenly smiled.

"Fortunately, I have a good son. You also know that I have often mentioned to you, Zhu Cihong."

"Lang'er helped me defend the city of Beijing, beat back Li Zicheng and Jiannu, and now killed Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, quelling the civil strife in Ming Dynasty."

"You may not believe it when I tell you, but in fact, the past 15 years of Xun'er's life... were really unremarkable. I always thought that in the future, he would be at best a conservative king."

"Why did it suddenly change? I don't know."

"But this Daming, ever since Lang'er appeared, he has really gotten better day by day."

"Some people spoke ill of Xun'er openly or covertly, saying that he wanted to be the second Li Shimin."

"I was worried too, but now I think about it."

"If there is no Hong'er, how can there be Daming now? Sooner or later, this country will belong to him."

"Ancestors, although Zhu Youjian is incompetent, Daming... did not perish in my hands after all!"

"If you have spirits in heaven, please take good care of Lang'er and Daming."

Emperor Chongzhen stood up after saying this, and then he knelt three times and kowtowed respectfully.

After a while, Emperor Chongzhen left the Taimiao.

Wang Chengen at the door said softly: "Your Majesty, the news has already spread, everyone is very happy."

Chongzhen laughed, patted Wang Chengen on the shoulder, and said something seriously.

"I am happier than anyone else!"
