Zhu Cixuan passed half a month under such an irritable mood. During this period, he almost lived outside the palace and inspected the defenses of the nine gates of the capital every day. He spent more time traveling between the Yongwei Camp and the military battle, supervising the military training and urging the production of firearms.

Recently, Zhu Cilang received some very bad news. Before that idiot Zhu Chunchen arrived at Juyongguan, the Qing soldiers had already taken Juyongguan. And on July 17, the Qing soldiers suddenly appeared under Changping City from behind Tianshou Mountain and attacked Changping City.

Jiannu was good at making details. Two thousand Yan Mongolian soldiers in Changping City were rebelled by Jiannu. As an internal force, the Qing army captured Changping, and the general Chao Pichang surrendered.

The surrender of a general shocked the Ming Dynasty and the people. Chongzhen was so angry that he wanted to kill the nine clans of Chao Pichang. Of course, Chao Pichang would not be foolishly waiting for the nine clans to be killed. When he surrendered, he would be huddled beside Ajige like a dog.

However, what made the Ming Dynasty save face was that many officials in Changping City refused to surrender and eventually died in a fierce battle. They were: Wang Yigui, the head of the Ministry of Revenue, Wang Yuzuo, the chief judge of Baoding, Wang Xizhong, the eunuch of the tomb guarding, Hu Weizhong, the official Guardian Guo Yong, Xuezheng Jie Huailiang, the coach of Chang Shiguang, the guardian Xian Zhenji and others.

Since the Qing army captured Juyong Pass, Zhu Cixuan asked many times to lead troops to Changping to resist the Qing army, but Emperor Chongzhen refused.

Zhu Cilang did not give up and came to Qianqing Palace again, but the eunuch at the custody refused to let Zhu Cilang enter, saying that Emperor Chongzhen had an order and did not allow Prince Zhu Cilang to enter.

Zhu Cilang was helpless and knelt in front of the Qianqing Palace on both knees and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, your majesty, slaves are tigers and wolves, and you must not let them in. My son is willing to lead troops to resist the enemy in Changping to protect the people of Daming. Please let Your Majesty know what to do."

But there was no voice in the hall to respond to Zhu Cilang. Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen were both persuading Zhu Cilang.

"Your Highness, the emperor also cherishes you and does not want you to take risks. You are the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, so you must not make any mistakes."

"Yes, the emperor is still unable to sleep or eat these days, so don't let him worry about it."

Zhu Cilang was indifferent and shouted that every time the Qing soldiers entered the pass and robbed, it would cause a major disaster to the Ming Dynasty and it would be difficult to recover for several years. He wanted to stop it. Although the soldiers of the five thousand brave guards could not drive away these 100,000 Qing soldiers, it was enough to cause huge damage and trouble to them.

When the Qing army traveled a long distance, if there was a threatening army around them, they would definitely send troops to prevent them and dare not rob. After all, what the Qing army feared most was that they were cut off from their backs and were surrounded by various armies of the Ming army.

Zhu Cilang knelt for a long time and shouted for a long time, and his voice was hoarse. It was midsummer in July, and the weather was so hot. In addition, there were many palaces in the Forbidden City, and the ventilation was extremely poor, and the temperature was higher and hotter than outside.

Zhu Cilang felt his chest tightness, his throat was salty, his eyes turned black, and he fainted on the ground.

He lay on the ground more resilient than those old men who had been fooling around in the future. This scared Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen. Wang Chengen shouted loudly: "No, Your Highness, Your Highness fainted. Go and invite the Imperial Doctor, and carry Your Highness in."

Chongzhen knew that the Qing soldiers had already captured Changping and would attack Beijing at any time. He was in a very chaotic mood. In addition, the prince recently made trouble and said that he would lead his troops to fight, which made him even more irritable. At this time, he suddenly heard a chaotic chaos outside, and he was so irritable that he wanted to kill people.

Emperor Chongzhen walked out in anger, but when he saw several eunuchs carrying the unconscious Zhu Cilang, Emperor Chongzhen's heart was immediately in chaos. This was his most important prince.

Emperor Chongzhen immediately shouted: "Speak to the Imperial Doctor quickly! Son, why are you doing this? Why is your father willing to let you go to the front line? Those slaves and thieves are very fierce."

Not long after, several imperial physicians dared to come and treated him. One imperial physician said, "Please rest assured that because the weather is hot and the prince has not been in the rice for a long time, he was fed (heat stroke). As long as you rest in a cool place for a while, you will be fine."

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen felt relieved, and saw several ministers hurriedly walking into the outside world. After seeing Emperor Chongzhen, these ministers knelt on the ground and cried, "Your Majesty, something is wrong. The slave thieves plundered their property and food in Changping, and burned the Deling of the former emperor. The slave thieves have now gone south and approached Xizhimen!"

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen sat on the chair beside him. Deling was the tomb of his elder brother, Emperor Tianqi Zhu Youxiao. Emperor Tianqi has always treated him very well during his lifetime. The royal palace he gave him was twice as big as other royal palaces. In this way, Emperor Tianqi still felt that he had treated this fifth brother unfairly.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry to you..." Emperor Chongzhen cried in tears and wailed in pain. Before he could finish speaking, he felt dark in front of his eyes and fell on the chair.

"Your Majesty!" The ministers saw this and shouted, "The emperor and the prince fell down within a day, which made the ministers extremely panic.

Queen Zhou from Kunning Palace arrived immediately after receiving the news and guarded the two most important people in her life.

When he heard the Qing army approaching the city of Beijing, the emperor and the crown prince were unconscious. Zhu Chunchen, who was going to inspect the border, did not know whether he was dead. After Cao Huachun settled Emperor Chongzhen, he hurried to the Beijing camp and temporarily led the Beijing camp as the eunuch of the Sili Supervisor and the leader of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and strengthened the guards of all gates in the capital.

Zhu Cilang woke up after sleeping for half a day, but his eyes were unconscious and his mind was in chaos.

Zhu Cilang was in Kunning Palace at this time, with his second sister, Princess Kunxing and his third brother, Zhu Cijiong, and two palace maids, one with sandalwood fans on the left and the other on the right, fanning him hard.

"Brother, you're awake!" Princess Kunxing, who was only six years old, opened her eyes wide and looked at Zhu Cilang and said excitedly.

Zhu Cijiong, who was speechless, also said word by word: "Brother of the Great Emperor..."

Zhu Cixuan sat up, looked at the emperor's sisters Zhu Mai and Zhu Cijiong beside him, and asked in confusion: "Emperor sister, why am I here with my mother, what about my mother's descendants?"

Zhu Mai said, "The imperial physician said that you were fainted, and the queen mother sent you to Kunning Palace for care and asked me to guard you. She went to Qianqing Palace to take care of her father by herself."

Zhu Cixuan frowned and said, "What's wrong with Father?"

"The father fainted, I don't know why." Zhu Mei was still young and didn't know these things.

Zhu Cilang rubbed Zhu's head and said, "You and your third brother go play, the emperor sit down and rest for a while."

"Okay! Thank you, Brother Emperor!"

Zhu Mai was ordered to stay for a while and was already extremely bored. At this time, he heard the words of the eldest brother, responded happily, and then took Zhu Cijiong out to play.
