After being in a coma for more than ten days, Huang Taiji finally woke up in a daze. But when he woke up, his right hand and foot could not move, and even his mouth was crooked, and his speech was slurred. This is a clear symptom of cerebral infarction, which is called hemiplegia of stroke according to ancient sayings. Although people are sober, the situation is not optimistic.

Concubine Zhuang Butai is now in charge of Huang Taiji's daily life, and Hauge and Dolgon's open and secret rivalry do not dare to tell him now, for fear that the emperor's condition will deteriorate. With the current situation of Huang Taiji, it is obviously not suitable to return to Shenyang, after all, the road is far away, and the weather is cold, and the condition will worsen if you are not careful.

In Seoul, Li Li was helpless against such cold weather, and in addition to letting the army take strict precautions, he could only wait for the beginning of spring before launching a new offensive.

This kind of weather is really very bad for the attacking side, and it is not without living examples in history. For example, Hitler and Napoleon's attack on Russia was all in the summer, and in the winter, they were beaten all over the place.

The Jurchens live in the bitter cold of Liaodong all year round and have a natural resistance to the cold. However, many of the soldiers of the Tuanshan Army were from the common people in the Guannei, so they must not fight in the winter.

The war in Korea was so deadlocked, both sides were accumulating strength, waiting for the big war in the spring, but in the Ming Dynasty, there were great changes - the internal worries of the Ming Dynasty worsened......

Emperor Chongzhen was once again stimulated by state affairs during his illness, and developed a minor illness that was originally just a little cold into a serious illness.

He is really a "diligent" person, even if he is sick in bed, as long as he is conscious. He ordered the eunuch Wang Chengen, the celebrant to read to him one by one, and he gave oral instructions. Let Wang Chengen approve the decree for him. However, since the beginning of winter, the "800-mile expedited" from the northwest has suddenly increased. The content is all about the big and small battles between Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and other rogue gangsters and the official army, the official army always wins less and loses more, and the peasant rebel army is also as before, the more and more they suppress, the more they suppress, the more momentum they have......

The Battle of Gwangluwon in Korea did not seem to have anything to do with Emperor Chongzhen's Yongle Tongbao, and all he ********could think about now was the peasant uprising that had caused him a lot of anxiety at home.

When Chongzhen learned that Zhang Li's Tuanshan army had wiped out 50,000 Jurchen Tartars in a battle, there was only deep fear left in his heart - he didn't have any ideas, and he also thought about letting Zhang Li suppress the thieves. However, the regimental mountain army became more and more impressive. Emperor Chongzhen became more and more empty-hearted. In the end, he even selectively forgot about the Tuanshan Army, Liaodong and Shandong.

In the years since his accession to the throne, Liaodong has been a bottomless pit, and Shandong's previous rebellion by Kong Youde is also a big pit. At present, he doesn't have to worry about these two pits, but the peasant army has jumped out again, growing stronger and stronger, and making the northwest and the Central Plains a mess.

Emperor Chongzhen had only one thought in his heart: my life. Why is it so bitter?

On this day, the eunuchs brought a large stack of "Eight Hundred Miles Urgent" and knelt in front of Emperor Chongzhen's bed to read, but the first battle report was bad news: "December 10." The thief army attacked the official army in Xiangyouping, and the two generals Yang Shien and Luo Anbang were killed, and the whole army was annihilated-"

The "800-mile expedited" spring came bad news for the officers and soldiers. This is not the first time. But this time, it happened to collide with Emperor Chongzhen's unhappy mood, and he suddenly let out an angry scream:

"What?! Lost the battle again? ”

Then he waved his arms for no apparent reason. And at that moment, there was a new change in his heart, so he shouted repeatedly: "Wu Sangui!" Didn't he go to my governor? How did you do this? I sent his Guanning Iron Cavalry to suppress the thieves. Why do you still lose battles? Who is it? Who is it who does not devote himself to fighting for me? ”

The eunuchs around Emperor Chongzhen had long been accustomed to such shouts from him, kneeling one by one, standing solemnly, all without saying a word, letting the emperor scream and vent. However, this time, Emperor Chongzhen's consciousness suddenly cleared, and a spiritual light flashed in his heart, and what came out of his mouth was not just an outventing of emotions. So, Emperor Chongzhen ordered sharply: "What about Zhou Yanru? Announce him to him! ”

As soon as the emperor "named and named", of course the eunuchs did not dare to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and hurriedly went to Xuanzhou Yanru to enter the palace.

Originally, these things must have been decided by the first assistant Wen Tiren, but Lord Wen was "old and frail", and recently "occasionally felt cold", and he had been recuperating at home for a period of time......

Zhou Yanru followed the eunuch Wang Chengen into the palace with a feeling of anxiety, and because the two had a good relationship, the prince naturally said the reason why the emperor summoned Zhou Yanru into the palace. Zhou Yanru wanted to "faint" several times along the way, but unfortunately he was stopped by the prince even if he couldn't say it, and he had to enter the palace to face the saint.

Zhou Yanru was galloping with a million grass and mud horses in his heart, and scolded the old turtle of Shoufu Wen Tiren for cutting off his children and grandchildren......

Belly slander is belly slander, and as soon as the second assistant Zhou Yanru entered the palace, he knew that he was "a disaster from the sky"-

Emperor Chongzhen got such an angry object on his head, and all his anger poured on Zhou Yanru's body, as if the thieves were all caused by Zhou Yanru alone.

Emperor Chongzhen had a blue face, a pair of red eyes, and almost roared accusations: "The cabinet always does its best to do things for me...... Always losing battles...... What do I want your cabinet to do? ”

Zhou Yanru was drenched in cold sweat all over his body, and he didn't even dare to breathe except for kneeling on the ground and kowtowing desperately, and finally waited until Emperor Chongzhen had scolded enough, tired, his voice gradually became quieter, and his eyelids slowly closed, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief......

Unexpectedly, the next day, at the same time, Wang Chengen's prince came to announce his entry into the palace again.

This time, what Emperor Chongzhen heard was a song from Henan. After suffering from the military disaster of the thieves, a natural disaster followed, and it had not rained a drop of rain for several months, the crops could not grow, seventy percent of the old and weak women and children among the people had starved to death, and half of the young and middle-aged people had become bandits.

However, Emperor Chongzhen's words when he scolded Zhou Yanru were the same content: "The cabinet always does its best to do things for me...... There are always famines and natural disasters...... The Cabinet can't come up with a solution, what do I want your Cabinet to do?! ”

Zhou Yanru's reaction was still silent, kowtowing like pounding garlic - this kind of scolding was only to make Emperor Chongzhen angry, and let the eunuchs relay the scene to Zhou Yanru's political opponent Wen Tiren and get some reward, but it had no other effect. (To be continued.) )
