Chapter 30: The Present Situation
When Chongzhen really has the right time, he can still think about how to take back the Ming Dynasty.
It's not like now, I don't even have the courage, only the idea of dying.
So Chen Yang felt that Zhu Youzhen was stupid, and the old eunuch in front of him was not smart, and the old eunuch could only say helplessly when he heard Chen Yang's words.
"The old slave also advised His Majesty to make plans as soon as possible, not like now, but His Majesty thinks that he is ashamed of his ancestors, so he must apologize with death."
"Since the old slave can't persuade His Majesty, he can only make a heart and accompany His Majesty to die, hoping to continue to serve His Majesty after he goes underground."
When Chen Yang heard this, he immediately understood, this was Zhu Youzhen's stubborn temper that played a role.
Therefore, this old eunuch can't kidnap Zhu Youzhen by force.
After all, there are not many people in this era who can have the courage to make their own decisions, and then offend the king and forcibly kidnap the king.
Therefore, the old eunuch can now make the choice to die with him, and Chen Yang can be regarded as understanding, so he doesn't say anything more.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang still had a cold face, he didn't want to deal with Zhu Youzhen at all, but he had to deal with Zhu Youzhen.
So Zhu Yuanzhang took Zhu Youzhen into the palace together, and then the old eunuch ran to the front.
The old eunuch now led the way, though there was still some noise outside.
But the old eunuch didn't seem to hear it, and his current state of mind was like water, which also made Chen Yang admire it very much.
Chen Yangzhen sometimes doesn't quite understand why there are still people who regard death as their home under such historical conditions, if such people are loyal and patriotic, Chen Yang does not object.
But if such a person is an ignorant person, Chen Yang can be regarded as agreeing.
In short, different historical dynasties have created different products, and perhaps people like the old eunuch are one of the products.
When he entered the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang sat down first.
Zhu Youzhen didn't dare to sit down, so he could only stand there, and then Chen Yang was the first to speak.
"Okay, don't waste time, let's talk about what the situation is out there, what has happened in this period of time, and what has come to this point again."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with a gloomy face, seeing that Zhu Youzhen was still sad and desperate, he slapped the table angrily, Zhu Youzhen trembled with fright, and then hurriedly spoke.
"In fact, there are some things that are difficult to explain, although I am working very hard, but the fortunes of the country have long been declining, even if I really want to turn the tide, but there is really nothing I can do."
Chongzhen's meaning is very simple, whether he is a good emperor or not, it depends on what is left to him above.
It left him a mess above, and if he was given enough time, he could adjust slowly, but now he was left with a mess if he was not given time.
After it was in his hands, he didn't have time to do anything at all, so for him, he was really powerless.
But he felt that he was really not angry, it was precisely because of this desperate thought that he thought of dying, Chen Yang was not listening to Chongzhen's emotion here when he heard this.
He saw that Zhu Yuanzhang's face was getting more and more gloomy, and he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had learned some historical things from his mouth.
So now Zhu Yuanzhang thinks that even if it is a bad hand, it must not be discarded like this, after all, it has nothing to do with a hand.
This is the Ming Dynasty, this is related to the lives of too many people, not to mention that the dynasty now controlled by Chongzhen is a turning point in history.
Chen Yang once said that after the destruction of the Daming rivers and mountains in Chongzhen's area, it will not be many years before you can see the disasters that all the people in the Daming rivers and mountains will endure.
That's because the Qing army has entered this land, and all the people in the Qing army don't think that these are their own specified things.
After all, the two sides are not the same race.
Therefore, the Qing army did not have a sense of identity with the Han people, and at that time, the people of the Ming Dynasty were bleeding like a river, and they had endured disasters for an unknown number of years, which made those people in the Qing army vent.
Chongzhen was still talking about the things he knew, and he burst into tears as he spoke, because he really felt that he was powerless, and now facing Zhu Yuanzhang, he felt that he had no face.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard these reasons from Chongzhen, he sighed, because the depression in his heart could not be expressed now, and he had to resolve the crisis in front of him first.
Zhu Yuanzhang was asking Chongzhen what was going on outside the palace at present, and Chongzhen glanced at the old eunuch beside him, because he only cared about killing all his wives and children, and then he died again.
What the specific situation was now, he only knew that it was irresistible, but he didn't know how many people were there at each city gate and who was in charge, so he looked at the old eunuch for help.
The old eunuch here didn't know that Zhu Yuanzhangyun didn't allow him to speak, so he was a little panicked for a while.
But he knew that if he didn't speak, Chongzhen couldn't explain the matter clearly, Chen Yang saw that the old eunuch looked very embarrassed, so he spoke.
"Princess, Emperor Chongzhen's mood is a little chaotic, and it is difficult to sort out these things for a while, I think it's up to you to tell us what happened."
The old eunuch breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then glanced at Chen Yang gratefully before he spoke.
"Now Li Zicheng has led people to occupy all the four gates of the capital, and now the city wall has been damaged, so it won't take long to hit the palace."
"Although I don't know the specific number, there must be more than 50,000 people, and according to what the generals said before, it is very likely that this is a more than 100,000 people."
"Now there are still a few generals on the city wall who continue to guard there, but the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are extremely badly damaged, so they have sent three messages in a row, all of which are telling us that they can't hold on anymore."
After the old eunuch said this, he shook his head helplessly, because he felt that it was indeed a dead end now, even if it was to continue to resist, it would only make some more people and some people less reasonable.
But before that, he really wanted to save Chongzhen from the palace.
