Emperor Chongzhenthe Life of a Handsome Boy to a Melancholy Emperor

In October of the 11th year of Chongzhen, Qing troops invaded again and Beijing was under martial law. The two factions in the court were in sharp opposition to the Qing Dynasty, whether it was peace or war. Under Chongzhen's suggestion of "suppressing thieves" internally and seeking peace externally, Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian restricted Lu Xiangsheng's affairs. Lu Xiangsheng, who advocated resisting the Qing Dynasty, had neither reinforcements nor food and grass.
