Afraid that the news would leak out, Chongzhen pretended to be a soldier and lived in the same room with Chen Jianghe, Chen Jianghe slept in the outer room, and he slept in the inner room. Three meals a day were also sent into the room by the soldiers, and the two ate together.

When he got up in the morning, Chen Jianghe didn't see Chongzhen for a long time, and when he went in to look, he saw Chongzhen still lying on the bed, and he didn't respond after shouting a few times.

Chen Jianghe was shocked, and hurriedly sent someone to call Chen Yue, and the father and son discussed countermeasures.

"Seeing that we are out of the city, as long as we rest and recuperate, we can flee to Tianjin, but at this juncture, Your Majesty is sick, alas!" Chen Jianghe rubbed his hands together and frowned.

"Your Majesty, he is tired and haggard, so he is sick." Chen Yue sighed.

If you say that the most miserable people in this world, Chongzhen is undoubtedly one of them. Of course, he is the king of a country, no matter how he eats and wears, he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, but it is his heart that suffers. Every day, when the sky is unknown, I get up, go to the court to listen to the courtiers tear up, and after the court, I spend all the time reviewing the folds until the middle of the night.

He is so diligent in government, looking at the Ming Dynasty in the past three hundred years, more than ten emperors, and only Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang can be stronger than him in terms of diligence. However, Chongzhen's ability is far inferior to his ancestors, although he is diligent in government, but under his governance, Daming is not as good as a year or a day.

Militarily, in the face of the defeat of the Manchu Tartar exile company, the famous commanders and fierce generals were lost, and finally ended up being attacked by the thieves under the city of Beijing, and the defenders surrendered one after another.

Economically, under the bewitchment of the Donglin Party, Chongzhen took back the mine tax envoy sent by his grandfather Wanli Emperor during the period, and strictly restrained the factory guards, so that the emperor's minions were lost, and no one collected money for him, so he could only let the civil officials fool him, and the income of the imperial court was getting worse and worse, and he could not afford to raise a huge army at all, and he had no choice but to rely on additional taxes to survive, which also made the people lament, the hungry people were everywhere, and the world quickly entered a state of turmoil.

In recent years, the thieves have finally become a big problem for the imperial court, the important towns of the Central Plains have been captured one after another, dozens of princes and princes have been killed, and the entire north has been completely out of control.

The Manchu Tartars attacked the border wall several times and plundered in Gyeonggi Hebei and Shandong, and countless people lost their homes and were plundered to slavery outside the Guan.

Bad news continues one after another, even in a strong heart, it can't withstand such repeated blows, Chongzhen has long been exhausted, but for the sake of the ancestors' foundation, he is struggling to maintain it. And now, the Jingshi has been breached, and the last glimmer of hope has completely disappeared.

Although the father and son of the Chen family were loyal and wanted to save him to the south with the intention of doing it again, when he suddenly became idle from his heavy affairs, the breath he had been carrying all day finally relaxed, and his body could no longer bear it, and he finally fell ill.

knew the reason for Chongzhen's illness, but Chen Yue was helpless. Since he was sick, he had to be treated quickly, Chen Yue sent the housekeeper Du Yuan to ask for a doctor, Du Yuan was a native of Beijing, familiar with the place, and knew where to find a good gentleman.

However, although with the entry of the intrusive army into the city, Li Zicheng strictly rectified military discipline and the market settled down, but when he heard that he was going to the military camp outside the city, those doctors shook their heads and refused to come.

Du Yuan said that he promised several times the consultation fee, and Zhang Yizhi, a famous doctor in the capital, agreed to go to the clinic, but he did not come by himself, but sent his son who had just come out.

"Will you get sick?" Chen Yue waved his hand to let Du Yuan go down, and looked at this young man named Zhang Zhongping suspiciously, at the age of eighteen or nineteen, he was a little too young.

"Since you don't believe in Zaixia's medical skills, then forget it, I'll say goodbye!" This Zhang Zhongping was so arrogant that he turned around to leave.

"Slow!" Chen Yue hurriedly drank, "Since you're here, let's take a look." ”

"This general, since you don't believe in the medical skills of the subordinates, why do you want to let the subordinates see the disease again, if there is an accident, will you say that the quack doctors are harming people? I can't afford to be charged with such a crime! Zhang Zhongping held his head high and did not turn back.

"It's the official who lost his words just now, please don't blame Mr.!" At this time, where to ask for a good doctor, Chongzhen's illness could not be delayed, and Chen Yue had to make amends.

Zhang Zhongping snorted, then turned around and came back, sat on the edge of the bed, and took Chongzhen's pulse.

"How?" Seeing Zhang Zhongping put down his hand, Chen Yue hurriedly asked, what he was most afraid of was that Chongzhen had typhoid fever and contracted the plague, with the outbreak of the war, some corpses in the city could not be disposed of in time, and now there were signs of epidemic. This kind of infectious disease, which has disappeared in later generations, is a big killer in this era, and once it is infected, it is difficult to control, and a large number of people will die.

"The pulse is stable and beating, and there is no major problem from the pulse, which should be caused by the accumulation of exertion and emaciation." Zhang Zhongping pondered for a moment and said, "I'll prescribe a prescription first, you let people boil medicine, first reduce the high fever, and then take care of it, and then you can be cured." ”

"There's Mr. Law!" Chen Yue was overjoyed and arched his hand.

Zhang Zhongping snorted, stopped talking, sat down at the table and began to write the prescription.

"Li Zicheng, I want to crush your bones and scatter ashes!" Suddenly, Chongzhen, who was in a coma, screamed, which made Chen Yue shocked.

"Queen, don't be in a hurry to leave, I will go with you soon. Zhaoren, my son, don't blame my father for being ruthless. Prince, Prince......"

Listening to Chongzhen's nonsense, Zhang Zhongping, who was writing the prescription, shook his hand, and a large cloud of ink fell on the white paper.

"He, he, he's the emperor?" Zhang Zhongping's body shook violently, pointing at Chongzhen on the bed and speechless.

"Stop talking nonsense, open the recipe quickly!" Chen Yue scolded in a low voice, thinking in his heart whether to kill him afterwards.

Zhang Zhongping barely calmed down and sat down to write down the prescription.

"Fry three bowls of water into half a bowl and take it for three days in a row, and you will be cured." Zhang Zhongping said softly, "He, is he really the emperor?" ”

Chen Yue nodded: "So far, I won't hide it from you, Mr. Zhang, he is indeed a saint today." The thieves attacked the city, and I secretly rescued him from the palace, hid him in the barracks, and waited for the opportunity to flee to the south. ”

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Zhongping suddenly knelt down in front of the bed and kowtowed to the sleeping Chongzhen, "My Zhang family is a family of imperial doctors, and my father is the imperial doctor in the palace." When the thieves captured Beijing, my father was so sad that he wanted to commit suicide and martyrdom, but my mother and I stopped him. I didn't expect His Majesty to be alive, and if my father knew, I don't know how happy he would be. Da Ming is saved! ”

"I can't let your father know about this, and even you can't leave the barracks from now on!" Chen Yue said.

"I know, I know." Zhang Zhongping nodded, he knew the importance of the matter.

"Then you write a letter to your family, saying that there are many wounded soldiers in my barracks, and I will leave you for treatment. I will send a letter to your home, and you will stay in the barracks from now on. Chen Yue said softly.
