Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 509
Just as the Dorgon brothers were discussing and arranging the way forward, Huang Taiji, who was already dying, returned to the palace in Shengjing under the escort of a thousand guards.

"Oboi, what's wrong with the emperor? Li Cunde! Quickly find a way to treat the emperor! Tell me what kind of medicinal materials you need! Yuezhen, go to the storehouse and get the century-old wild ginseng to make a decoction!"

Seeing Aobai carrying the unconscious Huang Taiji into the palace and gently placing him on the brocade couch, Zhezhe, Hailanzhu, and Bumbutai panicked, and hurried forward Go, Zhezhe reacted quickly in the end. She looked at Li Cunde who limped into the hall with a treasure medicine box and gave a sharp order, and then sent the female officer who was close to him out.

"Li Yuyi, please do your best to treat the emperor with all your heart. As long as the emperor is cured, I will reward you with two stunning women!"

Bumbutai looked anxious, raised his head with tears in his eyes and begged Li Cunde.

"Masters, step aside and wait for the servants to diagnose and treat you. Commander Ao, please take off the emperor's armor! Masters, quickly prepare clean sweat towels!"

After Aobai untied Huang Taiji's armor, a stench came out immediately. Li Cunde didn't care about it, and sat down on the brocade stool brought by Bu Mu Butai, starting to lose his shape Zhezhe and Bumbutai stood aside, looking at Huang Taiji's sallow and thin cheeks with tears in his eyes, feeling like a knife was twisting his heart.

After calming down, Hai Lanzhu wiped away tears, pulled Oboi's arm, turned around and quietly left the inner bedroom, Oboi was stunned for a moment, and saw that the queen and concubine Zhuang were all attentively watching Li Cunde give Huang Taiji Healed, he then followed out lightly.

"Batulu, what happened? Your Majesty looks like this, obviously exhausted after a long journey, and the armor on your body is also damaged in many places. Could it be that the war in the south is unfavorable? You have to tell me the truth!"

Hai Lanzhu, who had a delicate mind, endured the horror in her heart and asked softly.

After seeing Huang Taiji, Aobai, and Li Cunde in a panic, she instinctively told her that a catastrophe might be imminent this time.

"Master Chen, this time our army suffered a big loss in the south, and was ambushed by the Ming people on the way back. Most of the main force of the Eight Banners was lost. The 10,000+ Ming army is coming towards Shengjing from behind! The master escaped back, this time I'm afraid there will be some big troubles, now the only way to make the emperor wake up is to make a decision! Concubine Chen, is Prince Li here?"

Although Aobai did not tell the specific details of the battle, Hai Lanzhu's heart was full of turmoil, his mind was blank, and his body trembled slightly.

The fact that Obai, known as the number one warrior of the Eight Banners and bestowed the title of Batulu by Huang Taiji, can say that he is in big trouble shows how far the situation has deteriorated.

"Where are the princes of the other banners, Baylor? Have Prince Zheng, Prince Cheng, and Prince Rui returned? How many troops are left in the army? When will the Ming army reach Shengjing?"

At this moment, Zhe Zhe's voice came from behind Aobai.

After realizing that the figures of Hai Lanzhu and Ao Bai were missing from the hall, Zhe Zhe remembered that he had to quickly ask what happened, and then she went out of the dormitory, just in time to hear Ao Bai's reply, so she immediately continued to ask road.

"Your servant has seen the queen! Let me tell the queen that at that time the servant was protecting the emperor and broke off from the rear, the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty came from the front, and the area with a radius of more than ten miles became a battlefield. The scene was very chaotic. Prince Zheng and others were alive and The dead slaves don’t know! As for how many people are left in our army, it’s even more difficult to calculate. The Ming people will reach Shengjing in less than ten days at most. Now we have to come up with a plan as soon as possible whether to attack or defend! "

Even if he doesn't understand military strategy anymore, after hearing Oboi's reply, Zhezhe knew in his heart that the Eight Banners might be over this time, and Huang Taiji didn't know when he would wake up, but now there must be someone who has the final say. The idea came to fruition, but Prince Li Daishan had already led his troops to the east to meet the Ming army, and the masters in the palace were only a few women who didn't understand military strategy. What should we do?
"Sister, isn't Prince Yu staying in the capital? The matter is urgent now, so let's call Prince Yu into the palace to discuss it!"

After Hai Lanzhu hesitated for a moment, she still spoke her mind.

It is true that the two white flags and the two yellow flags are at odds, but at such a juncture, it is better for the Eight Banners to unify to the outside world.

"Queen Qi, the situation is very critical, and the slaves can't help you in the palace. How about this? When the slaves go out of the palace, they send people out of Beijing to go south to gather the scattered soldiers and horses. The slaves go to collect some food, etc. In order to feed the returning army one after another, the queen can send people to the residences of several princes to inquire about news, and once a prince returns, he will immediately call into the palace to discuss countermeasures, and the slave will leave!"

As soon as Hai Lanzhu said that Duoduo was still in Shengjing, and that he planned to call him into the palace to ask questions, Aobai, who didn't want to get involved in these matters before Huang Taiji woke up, rushed to find him without waiting for Zhezhe to ask him. After giving a legitimate excuse, he gave the two mistresses a thousand and left the palace.

Ao Bai left as soon as he said, Zhe Zhe and Hai Lanzhu lost their minds under the upset, after some discussion, they decided to follow what Ao Bai said, and sent people to several palaces to inquire about the news, as long as Ji Erha When Lang and others came back, they immediately invited them to discuss matters in the palace.

Not long after the two made their decision, under Li Cunde's careful treatment, they were fed another bowl of soup made from hundreds of years old wild ginseng, and Huang Taiji, who was already so angry, finally woke up slowly.

"Your Majesty, are you awake?! God is sorry! I said that auspicious people have their own natural features! The Emperor is in good health, as long as he is treated in time, he will be fine!"

"Does the emperor feel hungry? I'll give orders now! No, I'll make a bowl of white fungus soup for the emperor myself!"

Seeing Huang Taiji slowly opened his eyes, Zhezhe and the others were overjoyed, Hai Lanzhu hastily turned around and left the dormitory to order someone to cook the imperial meal.

Huang Taiji's eyeballs rolled around, looking at the familiar environment in front of him and the faces weeping with joy, his drowsy mind gradually came to his senses. He knew in his heart that the troops of the Ming Army were not following closely. After chasing after him, everything seemed to be in time.

"Where's Oboi? Hauge has already gone north? How many days have I been asleep? Someone immediately let Prince Li and Prince Yu enter the palace to discuss matters!"

After Huang Taiji gave a few instructions with great effort, his already steady breathing became rapid again, and beads of sweat were faintly visible on his forehead.

"Your Majesty, you must take care of your body first, the most important thing is to wait until you get better!"

Bumbutai hurriedly picked up a soft towel and gently wiped the sweat off his forehead, and the tears that had just disappeared flowed down again involuntarily.

"If you go back to the emperor, Hauge led Dingkou away three days ago! It was only an hour or two after Batulu brought you back to the palace, and Liqin had already brought thousands of people there five days ago. To the east, Prince Yu is on his way to the palace! Your Majesty, don't be impatient, Batulu sent people to gather troops to the south!"

Zhezhe wiped away his tears, calmed down and replied softly.

Huang Taiji felt a little relieved when he heard the words, and was about to continue to arrange other things. An eunuch hurriedly came to the door of the bedroom and knelt down and said loudly: "My Majesty, Prince Rui and Prince Yu request an audience!"
