Wang Chengen's efficiency was still very high. A few minutes later, a fresh order was placed in front of Zhu Cixuan.

"...Crown Prince Zhu Cilang is fully in charge of the raising of military funds this time. If I come in person, if anyone does not obey orders, the prince has the right to dispose of the situation on the right hand!"

This order is very good, even better than Zhu Cilang had imagined before.

Zhu Cilang seemed to understand something and looked up at Chongzhen.

This emperor is actually only thirty-three years old.

But after becoming the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty for seventeen years, Chongzhen's face showed extremely haggardness and vicissitudes, giving people a feeling that he was already old.

Chongzhen sighed and said, "I have done a lot for the Ming Dynasty, but in the end it seems that these things are wrong. I believe my ministers and think they can destroy Jiannu and Li Zicheng, but they have not done it. Even if they donate some wealth to protect the Ming Dynasty, they are unwilling to do so! Wanger, do you think, am I very failed?"

Zhu Cilang shook his head decisively and said in a deep voice: "Everyone knows that the father worked hard for the Ming Dynasty. If anyone dares to say the word "Father" in this regard, the son-in-law will directly use a gun to blow his dog's head!"

The words are vulgar, but they are also effective.

Chongzhen's face suddenly improved, and he said, "Then tell me, why did the Ming Dynasty reach this point?"

Zhu Cilang said without hesitation: "Because my father believed in the wrong person!"

After all, he is a cheap dad. If you say "You are not capable as an emperor", it would be too hurtful.

Chongzhen's eyes were a little confused: "Then, who should I believe in?"

Zhu Cilang could see that Chongzhen really doubted life.

Chongzhen believed in many people, Yuan Chonghuan, Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou... But none of these people could respond to his trust!

If that is the case, it would be fine, but when Chongzhen discovered that even when Li Zicheng was at the city, the important officials of the Ming Dynasty in the capital of the Ming Dynasty were unwilling to donate even a little money to support military pay and repay the official position given to them by Chongzhen, Chongzhen's worldview collapsed.

For Chongzhen, no one in this world can be unconditionally loyal to him.

The emperor's water is too deep!

At this moment, Chongzhen suddenly felt a pair of warm hands holding his hand.

As soon as he looked up, Chongzhen saw his fifteen-year-old son, Zhu Cilang.

Zhu Cilang said earnestly: "Why should my father be so discouraged? Please remember that my father and the Ming Dynasty can always trust my sons!"

Chongzhen looked at Zhu Cilang for a long time.

The Emperor of Ming Dynasty smiled.

"Yan'er, I'm really not as good as yours at your age! Go and do what you should do. Don't be afraid, because I support you. At this point, I and the Ming Dynasty have nothing to lose!"

Zhu Cilang laughed, took two steps back, and bowed solemnly to Chongzhen.

"This is not the time when the Ming Dynasty perishes, but the day when the Ming Dynasty is reborn from the fire! Please rest with your mother and mother. My son will tell those guys inside and outside the city who is the Ming Dynasty!"

Looking at Zhu Cilang's back as he turned around and strided away, Chongzhen showed a smile.

"My son has grown up."

Fengtian Palace, one hour later.

As the crown prince, Zhu Cilang should generally stand beside the emperor's throne.

But today, Zhu Cilang said that he would have a seat, so he had a seat.

However, the only one who has a seat is Zhu Cilang himself.

It is not without ministers who want to express their opinions. Ministers of the Ming Dynasty like to have bad mouths in front of the emperor. After all, the more stinky the mouths are, the more nasty the history books are.

But when these ministers saw the Sand Eagle pistol that was rolling around in Zhu Cilang's right hand, they wisely closed their mouths.

Chongzhen may be famous in history, but Zhu Cilang's words are mostly killed on the spot. Everyone can still know which one is more important.

Compared with yesterday, the atmosphere in the hall this time is actually much better.

At this time yesterday, watching the arrogant and domineering Du Xun speak loudly in front of Chongzhen, everyone felt that the Ming Dynasty was about to be finished.

But after a day and night, everyone now feels that the Ming Dynasty seems to be still saved.

Thinking of this, everyone's eyes were all gathered on Zhu Cixuan.

Whether you like Zhu Cilang or not, everyone must admit that the reason why Beijing is still intact and the reason why the Ming Dynasty has not yet perished is because of the prince who is only fifteen years old but has turned the tide!

Wei Zaode, the chief assistant of the cabinet, couldn't help but say, "Crown Prince, all the ministers have gathered together. How dare you ask where Your Majesty is?"

Zhu Cixuan took a look when he heard this and found that there were indeed many people in the hall.

As the prince, not everyone knows Zhu Cilang.

Zhu Cixuan glanced at Wang Chengen and said, "Remember."

Wang Chengen immediately stepped forward and read the decree that Chongzhen had just ordered him to make Zhu Cixuan arbitrarily.

After hearing this order, the hall suddenly became quiet.

Everyone is not stupid. The meaning of this will is equivalent to giving Zhu Cilang a Shangfang sword!

Wei Zaode coughed and said with some silence: "So, Your Majesty..."

Zhu Cilang smiled, stood up, and walked towards Wei Zaode.

Although he knew he shouldn't have, Wei Zaode couldn't help but take two steps back.

Fortunately, Zhu Cilang only took two steps and stood on the steps of the imperial throne.

"The father will not come. Today, I will talk to you.

Everyone, everyone must be very clear about the situation in the Ming Dynasty now. So I don’t talk nonsense here, just say it directly.

The Ming Dynasty needs money now, so this palace represents the father and wants to borrow some money from everyone.

If everyone is willing to donate money for military pay, this palace only needs 50% of your net worth, and can write you an IOU, which will be paid off in the Ming Dynasty in the future.

If someone thinks that their family really has no money, then the palace will take someone to search at his house. If he finds more than 1,000 taels of cash and treasure, he will confiscate it directly.

Okay, things are that simple. How to do it, think about it carefully and give me an answer!"

This time, Zhu Cilang used "borrow" and was different from dealing with Cao Huachun and Zhou Guozhang.

This is mainly because Cao Huachun is a slave of Chongzhen, and Zhou Guofa is Chongzhen's father-in-law, which can be regarded as Chongzhen's "his own family", so Zhu Cilang can barely make sense to directly copy the homes of these two people.

But if so many important officials of the Ming Dynasty were present, if all their homes were confiscated, these guys would really be rebelled against the enemy in minutes.

You should know that there are actually many ministers who are still loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Although they are indeed a little stingy, they cannot be beaten to death with one stick, right?

Even so, after Zhu Cilang finished saying this, there was still an uproar in the presence.

After hearing Zhu Cilang's words, Wei Zaode's face kept changing.

Wei Zaode could feel that many people's eyes were projecting, and the meaning inside was self-evident.

The prince is robbing money. Master, you have to stand up!

Wei Zaode even knew what happened to Cao Huachun and Zhou Guohou.

what to do?

Wei Zaode was entangled for a moment, but gritted his teeth and stood up.

"Your Highness's move is really too absurd. It is simply the tyranny of Jie of Xia, Zhou of Shang, and Zhou You! The old minister must firmly oppose this matter for the sake of the world!"
