"Emperor, are you wrong? How can it be a chaotic minister and a thief......" Pang Tianshou couldn't help frowning when he heard Chongzhen, how could this emperor talk nonsense?

Emperor Chongzhen sneered: "What is it that is not a chaotic minister and a thief?" Where is there still a loyal minister and filial son in Daming now? Even if there are so many, I won't miss me, a debaucherous and unscrupulous king! ”

"Emperor, aren't you a faint king......" Pang Tianshou said as he asked God in his heart for forgiveness - he was a devout Catholic and knew that it was wrong to lie.

No matter how the current Emperor Chongzhen looks at it, he is a faint monarch - he lost half of the country, lost the mausoleum of his ancestors, and after he ran to the south of the Yangtze River, he didn't know that he wanted to work hard, so he knew that there was no way to be promiscuous and immoral. When I was in Shandong, I chose a show girl, I went to Jiangnan and chose again, and I chose a hundred in the second time...... It's so ridiculous!

The more women there are, the more money you spend! The eldest filial son Zhu Cihong gave Chongzhen 500,000 taels of pocket flowers a year, and it was only more than half a year to spend it, and this time it was added to 1 million taels a year!

And this million taels does not include the money spent in this draft and the various filial piety given by the great filial son during the New Year's holidays...... This emperor, who has been thrifty for more than ten years, is now spending money with his hands and feet almost catching up with the master of the World Temple!

Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty still has a filial and capable Fujun prince to maintain the situation, or it will be extinct......

"The emperor, the governor of the seven provinces, Inspector Shi, the governor of Shandong, Gao Jue, and the minister of regimental training, Zuo Maodi, are all loyal ministers!"

Emperor Chongzhen looked back at Pang Tianshou, and burst out laughing: "You are still the great master of the imperial horse eunuch, and you can't even tell the difference between loyal ministers and rebellious ministers!" The three people you are talking about are all rebellious ministers! ”

"Rebellious minister, how is it possible?" Pang Tianshou was stunned and stunned, "Emperor, the three of them were regarded as the ...... of the three loyal ministers of Shandong by Jiangnan Shilin."

"Jiangnan Shilin?" Chongzhen snorted coldly, "These scholars are the same as those Nanjing nobles who are full of games!" Not a good thing...... What has I become for the sake of this ancestral country, and for the sake of hundreds of millions of people? has been a son of heaven for more than ten years, but I have never slept a peaceful night, and I have not spent any money comfortably. But what about them? How much was caught? Don't pay the imperial grain, don't pay business tax! It's okay if you don't pay taxes or food, and you have to use tricks to help others evade taxes together! And they are going to invade the country's military fields and officials, and my Ming country is hollowed out by these moths!

Shi Kefa, Gao Hongtu, and Zuo Maodi were regarded as loyal ministers by these moths, so can they still be good people? ”

This one...... It seems to make some sense!

Chongzhen scolded too much, and then said: "And my loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty, no matter how loyal they are, no matter how capable they are, they will be wiped out by those who don't do their jobs like chaotic ministers and thieves...... But now someone is playing and saying bad things about Shi Kefa, Gao Hongtu, and Zuo Maodi? ”

Didn't you? Pang Tianshou said: I don't know if there is...... Now the celebrant has no chapter to watch, not to mention our family's Da Jue, who is named in the Imperial Horse Supervisor?

Chongzhen said again: "Do you know why no one said that the three of them were chaotic ministers and thieves? Because they are now rebels and thieves...... They now have their own troops, cut their possession, and are all overlords. Nominally, he is the governor, governor, and minister of regimental training of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, he is the envoy of the festival, and he is the envoy of the festival! ”

Pang Tianshou said: The emperor is completely confused, is there such a ridiculous idea? The loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty have been smeared, and no one has exposed the really chaotic ministers and thieves......

Chongzhen snorted twice: "In addition to these three chaotic ministers and thieves, there are also Huaibei Huang Degong, Xu Hai Gaojie, Hubei Zuo Liangyu, Hunan He Tengjiao, Yunnan Mu Tianbo...... These people are all rebels and thieves! So none of them wanted the crown prince to ascend the throne...... Because if the crown prince does not ascend the throne for a day, he will not fight the idea of cutting the feudal domain for a day. Not only will they not cut the feudal domain, but they also have to coax these rebellious ministers and thieves! Now that I'm going to retire, it's up to these rebellious ministers and thieves to pretend to be loyal and filial! ”

......

"The minister is a thousand years old!"

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Congratulations to the people of the world!"

"The minister congratulates the ...... of the Ming Dynasty"

Not long after Zhu Cihong returned to the Wenhua Palace, the loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty who got the good news came to congratulate one after another.

However, Zhu Cihong did not have a cheerful appearance, but a solemn face, and saw that the important ministers in Beijing were almost there, so he sighed and said: "The palace is young and thin, and my father is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, so I shouldn't have come out to take charge of the situation." However, my father was disheartened because of the fall of Beijing, the devastation of the north, and the disintegration of the world, and he only wanted to concentrate on cultivating virtue and no longer be burdened by mundane affairs, so the palace had to come forward and clean up the troubled times in the world, which was really difficult. Fortunately, these days with the solid assistance of all of you, we have been able to stabilize the southeast half of the wall. Now that my father has the heart of inner meditation, do you think this palace should take a step further? ”

"Chitose Lord," Wei Zaode was the first to stand up, "Heaven will take it, and you will be blamed for it, and if you can't do it, you will suffer it!" It's time for you to go one step further! But this step is not easy to enter! ”

Zhu Cihong nodded, his own "Zhang Juzheng" is still a little knowledgeable, and he finally knows that the emperor is not easy to do.

Wu Xiang also said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you are not only the emperor in name, but also deserve ...... If you don't want to, the 200,000 soldiers of the new army will not agree! ”

The New Army has completed another round of expansion, recruiting many able-bodied northern refugees to join the army! Zhu Wei plus Zhu Shi and Zhu Shi plus the Navy Naval Division, the number is already close to 200,000.

The number of model regiments has also increased by eight, reaching as many as twenty, and the artillery has also been expanded somewhat.

In addition, the Nanjing Martial Arts School has become more and more formal. The students in the hall are called "non-commissioned officer students", and the school system has been extended to one year, and it is also divided into five specialties, such as artillery, engineering, infantry, cavalry, and baggage. The first students to enter are now either leading the troops or becoming teachers in the martial arts hall. began to "mislead people's children" - they themselves have half a bottle of vinegar, and they still teach others...... But there is no one to use, so they can only learn and teach at the same time.

The number of students in the school has increased to 500. Most of them are officers at all levels who have come out of the ranks and have gone in to make up for a lesson so that they can better grasp the command skills of the new army. There are also some sons of Zongzi and Xungui - according to Zhu Cihong's new rules, they must first join the Xiaoling Wei New Army as soldiers, and then they can enter the martial arts academy according to their performance and examinations.

With these 200,000 new troops, Prince Zhu still has the confidence to be the emperor!

Zhu Cihong looked at Qian Qianyi again, "Mr. Qian, what do you say?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince," Qian Qianyi said, "Although the Holy Lord sincerely wants to meditate, if there is chaos today, there are many chaotic ministers and thieves in all directions, and they will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to attack the imperial court." And since Your Highness has reached this point, you can't retreat......"

Qian Qianyi is also right...... When Zhu Cihong reaches this point, he can't retreat! Emperor Chongzhen publicly stated that he wanted to practice internal Zen, but in fact, he also pushed Zhu Cihong, the prince of Fujun, to the forefront.

If he didn't dare to take over the throne handed over by Chongzhen, then the group that followed him would be shaken by himself - the heroes of the martyrdom had been looking forward to this day for a long time!

However, outside of the conclusive group, neither the southeastern scholars nor the important warlords who seized the territory of Shandong, Xuhai, Huaibei, Huguang, and Yunnan did not want Prince Zhu to ascend the throne and become emperor.

Because as soon as he ascended the throne, the situation of two lords was over. Zhu Cihong has rightfully become the master of these chaotic ministers and thieves!

Zhu Cihong, who became Emperor Zhu, still has to cut their domains one by one?

"Who are the rebels and thieves?" Zhu Cihong looked at Qian Qianyi and asked again.

"This ......" Qian Qianyi's brows furrowed tightly, "When the time comes, they will naturally jump out!" Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you must be prepared! ”

"Prepare what?" Zhu Cihong asked again.

"Ready," Qian Qianyi paused and lowered his voice, "Prepare to make an example!" ”

Zhu Cihong laughed: "Okay! Mr. Qian is really of the same heart as Hongu...... After the palace went on the expedition, the affairs of Beijing were handled by Mr. Lao Qian, Wei Shoufu and Wu Bingbu! ”
