In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng's army reached the gates of the capital. Chongzhen stood atop Coal Hill, with the rope already hung.
Suddenly, a sky screen lit up across the heavens, in front of the whole world:
The list of traitorous officials appeared.
Wei Zhongxian embezzled thirty million taels. The Donglin Party formed cliques for personal gain and brought ruin to the country. Zhou Yanru falsified military reports and colluded with the enemy...
