Chapter 177 Great Savior

Zhu Cilang analyzed with Chongzhen that it would be useless to kill Zhu Chunchen now. First of all, he was Duke Cheng Guo, with a high position and power. In addition, he represented the favor of the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty. Duke Cheng Guo was deeply favored by the emperor in all dynasties. At this time, you find an excuse to kill Zhu Chunchen, which will inevitably disappoint those nobles.

The nobles of the Ming Dynasty still played an important role. It was not a good thing to make these people afraid of Chongzhen and make the monarch and ministers lose peace.

Moreover, Zhu Chunchen and the forces of the three camps were mixed together, and if they were not careful, they would cause the domino effect. It would be better not to move Zhu Chunchen first. Just like Zhu Cilang forced Zhou Kui to make money from him first.

First, he transferred the Five Military Camp out of the capital, and then went to Zhu Chunchen to make people feel that Chongzhen was going to attack him.

The plan was good, and Chongzhen agreed. But if the transfer of the Five Military Camp out of the capital, it would cost money. What should I do if I had no money? Chongzhen was afraid that he had not got two million taels of silver, and the treasury would have to pay the money to let the Five Military Camp out of the city.

After hearing what Zhu Cilang said, Zhu Chunchen had agreed to give two million taels of silver, so Chongzhen was naturally overjoyed.

"Two million taels are great! With this money, I will not worry about it. If I slow down, I can finally slow down."

Chongzhen was so happy that he walked back and forth in the Qianqing Palace, constantly clapping his hands. Zhu Cilang was frightened, he knew his father too much.

"Father, you have to promise something to your son."

Chongzhen then realized that his son and Luo Yangxing were kneeling on the ground, and felt a little guilty: "Okay, you two will get up sooner before you talk."

This made a great contribution. Luo Yangxing wanted to get up. He moved his knees, but when he saw Zhu Cilang kneeling on the ground motionless, Luo Yangxing was frightened and did not dare to stand up after all.

"If the father does not agree, the son will not get up." Zhu Cilang said calmly.

Chongzhen was stunned, and then he realized something was wrong. The joy on his face disappeared again: "Tell me, what's the matter."

Zhu Cilang raised his head: "Father, you must promise your son. The two million taels of silver must be used to rectify the three camps, and you must not use it for other purposes without permission."

Chongzhen was shocked, how did his son see it? Yes, the reason why he was so happy was not that he really wanted to rectify the three camps. Instead, Chongzhen had more money. He thought, thinking of first embezzling part of the two million taels of silver to do other things. For example, repairing the palace city, pacifying the enemy, and paying salary...

Zhu Cilang clearly realized that nothing in front of him was as urgent as the three major camps.

First of all, most of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen has passed, and there is not much time left for the Ming Dynasty. The thief Li Zicheng can approach the capital at any time. If it weren't for the rectification of the three camps, what would you do to resist?

At that time, will we wait for the thieves to break through Beijing and continue to re-enact the mistakes of the Ming Dynasty? No, we must never let this happen again.

Even if the Heavenly King comes today, I must first rectify the three camps!

However, Chongzhen had another idea: "Your son, get up first, I will arrange this matter freely."

It was obvious that Chongzhen was a little perfunctory. Zhu Cilang was a child after all, and the children understood what they knew. The salaries of all officials must be paid, and the bandits in various places must be suppressed. In addition, the Forbidden City had long needed to be repaired. In addition, there has been no activity to worship the Taimiao... These all require money.

What does the three camps need so much money to do? It would be fine to give hundreds of thousands of taels. The city walls of the capital are solid, so how can they be rectified?

Zhu Cilang shook his head firmly: "No, if the father does not agree, the son will not get up."

Zhu Cilang is a stubborn person, but he didn't know that Chongzhen had a bad temper. Seeing his son kneeling on the ground and threatening himself, Chongzhen became angry again: "Then you kneel down. You are a child's house and you know what state affairs are. I have used more money and given them to the three camps. What should the court do?"

"Emperor, this is your fault." At this moment, a crisp voice sounded.

At the critical moment, the savior is here!

Zhu Cilang knew that Chongzhen would turn against him, and Emperor Chongzhen had the potential to be a "wise ruler". Shortly after he ascended the throne, he could easily get rid of Wei Zhongxian who had been in charge of the government for many years; he advocated frugality and diligent government affairs, and was a "model" for all officials at that time; he dared to innovate the talent selection system, appoint talents regardless of their nature, etc., all of which showed the world his uniqueness and he wanted to do great things forever.

But, ideals are full, but reality is very skinny. Facing the already tragic Ming Dynasty and facing a bunch of messes, Chongzhen was determined to kill the enemy, but he was powerless to turn the world around. As the passion was stolen by time, Chongzhen's shortcomings slowly emerged and frequent mistakes made the already shaky Ming Dynasty eventually perish.

I was eager to achieve success, but I was anxious to eat hot tofu. Some people commented that the former emperor was eager to seek governance, engraved in financial management, thirsty for employing people, and suddenly practiced the law, which led to the world's seventeen years of change and change every night. Before the ears and eyes, there was still a change, and thinking about it backwards, but it was useless. Isn't it a waste of the 17-year-old energy!

The orders of the court changed every day and liked to kill court officials. Why didn’t Zhu Cilang rush to kill Zhu Chunchen? He just didn’t want to repeat the same mistakes. Court officials should be killed, but you didn’t kill them just by saying that.

If you kill, the problem is still there. You must find the problem and correct the problem. At that time, it will not be too late to kill it again.

At first, Zhu Cixuan also wanted to gather the ministers directly together. He followed the list of dog officials in the history books and killed them one by one. But this was not realistic at all. If he really did that, he would only accelerate the speed of the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Cilang knew that Chongzhen would use the two million taels of silver, so when he and Luo Yangxing returned to the palace, they quietly asked their descendants to go to Cining Palace to invite Queen Yi'an.

Queen Yi'an Zhang Yan, this woman is really amazing. She could see that Zhu Cilang is extraordinary, and Zhang Yan firmly believes that Zhu Cilang can save the Ming Dynasty. She once told Zhu Cilang in person that she would come to her when encountering something that could not be solved. If your father or your mother does not agree to your affairs, come to me and I will make the decision for you.

So, Zhu Cilang thought of Zhang Yan and Emperor Yi'an, and deliberately did not let someone inform him. Zhang Yan could hear everything Chongzhen said just now.

Chongzhen couldn't help but feel a fever when he was acting like a rogue on a child. He respected the emperor's sister-in-law very much, and immediately gave a trepidation and shouted: "Emperor's sister-in-law."

Zhang Yan looked at Chongzhen contemptuously, and without hesitation, he went over to sit down on the chair beside him: "You still know how to call me the emperor sister-in-law, Emperor, tell me, Ci Yang has made such a great contribution, you don't know the reward, and even let him kneel on the ground. What kind of heart do you have? What kind of emperor are you?"
