"Father, if my son tells you, can you agree?" Zhu Cixuan asked.

Chongzhen was silent, yes, if his son told him that he would investigate the three camps. Chongzhen was afraid that he would go crazy immediately, and he might even imprison Zhu Cilang in the palace again and was not free.

"You, what else have you found out?" Chongzhen was already a little excited. Such a big deal happened in the defense of the capital, which shows that other places in the Ming Dynasty were in the Ming Dynasty.

"Father, I mainly eat a serious salary. The guards in the capital are very big and fat, and there are countless officials involved. Father, do you know how the thief Li Zicheng rebelled?" Zhu Cixuan asked.

Chongzhen was stunned. When he mentioned Li Zicheng, he couldn't help but grit his teeth: "How can he rebel? He is trying to achieve the king's hegemony, relying on natural disasters to deceive the people and incite the foolish people to rebel. Sooner or later, I will kill this person!"

Zhu Cilang shook his head: "Father, you are wrong. The reason why the treach Li Zicheng rebelled was because our court was stupid. In the second year of Chongzhen, when Jiannu went south in large numbers and the court urgently dispatched troops from all directions to the capital to defend. The troops of the Gansu border soldier Li Zicheng followed the general Wang Guo to the capital. When he passed through Jin County, the soldiers demanded a salary, but the general Wang Guo could not deduct it. Therefore, the general Wang Guo was killed in Yuzhong and the local county magistrates, and the soldiers and civilians launched a mutiny. Father, Li Zicheng was desperate and rebelled. At first, he surrendered to Wang Zuoguai, but Wang Zuoguai surrendered soon after. After a lifetime of death, Li Zicheng defected to his uncle Gao Yingxiang. Next, it was a river of spring water."

Chongzhen's eyes were cold, and he clenched his fists tightly. This terrible Queen Zhou was startled. The imperial physician said that the emperor could not be excited. The Queen Zhou shouted angrily: "Ciyang! What are you talking nonsense? Can you say something else? Isn't it possible to say something else?"

Zhu Cilang was shocked and knelt in a hurry and said, "Father, it's not too late to report to you in this matter. Your health is important now. Please take care of your health and take care of your health in the future."

Chongzhen took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down his mood. How could he have thought? The previous memorials said that Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were born with rebellious behavior. In the time of famine in Shanxi, they incited public opinion to rebel.

In the memorials from all over the country, and even the memorials of court officials, Li Zicheng was an unforgivable devil. The reason for his rebellion was to incite ignorant people to realize his ambitions.

But when Zhu Cixuan came here, he actually made such a statement again. How could Chongzhen not be angry? Since he ascended the throne, the Ming Dynasty has declined day by day. Chongzhen could not understand why he had worked very hard, but this result was the result.

Until, until he got a different answer from his son. The three major camp guards in the capital actually received such a serious salary. The thief was so angry that he gritted his teeth and wanted to tear him apart. The reason for the rebellion was actually forced to be forced?

Chongzhen, who was unacceptable for a moment, shook his body and his face turned pale in an instant. Queen Zhou was so scared that she patted his back and looked at Zhu Cixuan angrily.

Chongzhen waved his hand at her: "Forget it, it's not Ci Yang's fault. It's me, it's my dereliction of duty. It's okay, you keep talking."

Seeing Chongzhen like this, Zhu Cilang was really unsure. Don’t say too much. After all, I really made my father angry. He bowed and said, “Father, let’s wait until you are better.”

Queen Zhou next to him also said, "Yes, long live, it's not too late to wait until you are healthy, and then deal with these things slowly. The imperial physician said just now, don't let you get angry anymore."

"I'm not angry, I just want to know the truth."

That's right, Chongzhen was not very angry, but what was replaced was just sadness and despair that was more unacceptable than being angry. How could the Ming Dynasty, which he devoted all his efforts to, be like this?

Since he has reached this point, Zhu Cilang simply took the initiative: "Okay, my father is clear about it. If you don't say anything else, let's talk about the three camps of the capital. Do you know how crazy they have been to eat empty wages? Most of the yamen runners in the capital "cross their yamen" in the three camps, and both sides receive grain and silver under their names."

Seeing Chongzhen's face getting worse and worse, Luo Yangxing, who was on the same boat as Zhu Cilang, also said: "Old Master, this is still light. According to Chen's subordinates, some of the three major camps' soldiers who were vacancies can be traced back to the Jiajing period. This is really unspeakable."

Well, it's really too much. I'm just playing with Chongzhen as a monkey. On the list of soldiers provided by the three camps, some people were actually from the Jiajing period, which means that people from the Jiajing period pretended to be Chongzhen's military pay. Are you angry?

It seems that Zhu Cilang has not been idle during this period. What makes Chongzhen happy is that he is kept in the dark by these dog officials who are misled by me. However, his son has been secretly collecting evidence and investigating the officials.

Chongzhen sighed long and said, "I know, you must have more than that. Tell me, there are still anything I don't know, so just say it all."

Zhu Cilang glanced at Luo Yangxing, a brother-in-law beside him. Luo Yangxing knelt on the ground and bowed, saying, "The emperor, the ministers, and others have something to say. Since the founding of Taizu, censors have been established, and censors are known for their brave advice. Originally, they were "using small to control the big", and small censors supervised first and second rank high-ranking officials. However, these censors have long become subordinates of cabinet ministers."

When talking about this, Zhu Cilang nodded even more: "Yes, my father, now these censors who are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality are the ones who are strong and powerful to whom. Often, as soon as you appointed the cabinet ministers, the censors immediately ran to their houses, so that the cabinet ministers' families were crowded and the censors who came late could only drink tea on the steps in front of their houses. They should be damned since their eating habits are so ugly."

"It's really damn!" Chongzhen repeated, clenched his fists and slapped heavily on the head of the bed.

Since he had made the decision, he could just give it up, and Luo Yangxing's courage became bigger: "The emperor, for example, Yang Zhiqi, the director of the Husbandry Department, was a censor of the Husbandry Department, but he was always in the Ministry of Personnel. As long as someone wanted to buy an official, he would help him back and forth. The righteous memorials in his hand were also sold with clear prices. He was busy with both the introduction fee and the money he received was paid."

"Investigate, I will issue an edict to imprison Yang Qi, and severely punish him. Three camps, three camps..." Chongzhen pondered for a moment and rashly moved the three camps. Even Emperor Chongzhen had to weigh the pros and cons first.

The three major camps are important defense positions in the capital, and these are all soldiers. Once they are not done well, they will really rebel if they are forced into trouble.

Fortunately, Zhu Cilang had long thought of this: "Father, don't be too rushed by the three camps. If you capture the thief and the king, we will take action as the Duke. Don't make a big deal. First, replace the generals of the Shenji Camp, and first transfer the five military camps out of the capital. Three thousand camps are not a problem. As long as you do it step by step, don't be too rushed, things should be solved perfectly."
