I dressed as Chongzhen.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I realized that history had changed - the emperor brother did not summon me to the palace, Wei Zhongxian took action in advance.
I was surrounded by Jin Yiwei, with knives at my neck.
They thought I would be afraid.
But I know that Wei Zhongxian will die in a year, Tian Ergeng will die, and Cui Chengxiu will die.
I know everyone's ending.
But I don't know which one of them will kill me tonight.
——
On the day I ascended the throne, I had two pieces of wheat cake hidden in my sleeve.
I dare not eat the royal meal.
Because everyone in this Forbidden City wants me to die.
But I won't die.
Not only do I want to survive, but I also want to turn this rotten empire over piece by piece.
Party strife? I will fight with you.
Corruption? I will accompany you to investigate.
Liaodong? I will spend time with you.
Twenty years later, Huang Taiji died, Dorgon died, and the Qing soldiers never entered the fortress again.
I'm getting older too.
Before he died, the historian asked: Your Majesty, are you considered the king of Yao and Shun?
I didn't answer.
I only think of the two pieces of wheat cake in my sleeves on the night I ascended the throne.
