Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 26 26, Cilang gathers people to donate money, Zaode's protest is too absurd
Wang Chengen's work efficiency was still very high, and a few minutes later, a freshly made will was placed in front of Zhu Cihong.

"...Prince Zhu Cihong has the full authority to preside over the matter of raising the military salary. If I come in person, if there is anyone who refuses to obey the order, the crown prince has the right to deal with it arbitrarily!"

This decree is very good, even better than what Zhu Cihong had imagined before.

Zhu Cihong seemed to understand something, and looked up at Chongzhen.

His Majesty the Emperor is actually only 33 years old.

But after being the emperor of Ming Dynasty for 17 years, Chongzhen's face showed incomparably haggard and vicissitudes, giving people a feeling of being old.

Chongzhen sighed, and said: "I have done a lot for Daming, but in the end, it seems that these things are all wrong. I believed in my subjects, thinking that they could eliminate Jiannu and Li Zicheng, but they failed. They don't even want to donate some of their wealth to keep Daming! Honger, tell me, isn't I a failure?"

Zhu Cihong shook his head resolutely, and said in a deep voice: "Father has worked hard for Daming, everyone knows. If anyone dares to say a word about Father in this regard, I will directly shoot his dog's head with a gun!"

The words are vulgar, but they are also effective.

Chongzhen's complexion improved immediately, and he said, "Then tell me, why did Daming come to this point?"

Without hesitation, Zhu Cihong said, "Because my father believed in the wrong person!"

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

Chongzhen's eyes were a little confused: "Then tell me, who should I trust?"

Zhu Cihong could tell that Chongzhen really doubted life.

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

If that's the case, it's fine, but when Chongzhen found out that even when Li Zicheng's troops were approaching the city, these important ministers of the Ming Dynasty in the capital of the Ming Dynasty were unwilling to donate even a little money to subsidize the military salary in return for the official positions that Chongzhen gave them. At that time, Chongzhen's worldview collapsed.

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

The emperor's water is too deep!
At this moment, Chongzhen suddenly felt a pair of warm hands holding his own.

Looking up, Chongzhen saw his 15-year-old son, Zhu Cihong.

Zhu Cihong said very earnestly: "Why is the father so depressed? Please remember, the father and Daming can always trust the children!"

Chongzhen looked at Zhu Cihong for a long time.

The Ming emperor smiled.

"Lang'er, at your age, I'm really not as good as you! Go ahead and do what you should do. Don't be afraid, because I support you. Now, there is no relationship between Da Ming and Da Ming. What is there to lose!"

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

"This is not the time when Daming perishes, but the day when Daming is reborn from the ashes of the ashes! Please rest peacefully here, Father and Queen Mother, and my son-in-law will tell those guys inside and outside the city who this Daming really belongs to!"

Seeing Zhu Cihong's back turning and striding away, Chongzhen showed a smile.

"My son has grown up."

Fengtian Temple, an hour later.

As a prince, Zhu Cihong should generally stand beside the emperor's throne.

But today, Zhu Cihong said that he would have a seat, so there was one.

However, Zhu Cihong was the only one who had a seat.

It's not that there are no ministers who want to express their opinions. The courtiers of Ming Dynasty all like to have a bad mouth in front of the emperor. After all, the more foul the mouth, the greener the history books.

But when these ministers saw the Sand Eagle pistol that kept rolling back and forth in Zhu Cihong's right hand, they wisely shut their mouths.

The foul-mouthed Chongzhen may be famous in history, but most of the words of the foul-mouthed Zhu Cihong died suddenly on the spot, and everyone can still tell which is more important.

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

At this time yesterday, seeing the arrogant and domineering Du Xun talking nonsense in front of Chongzhen, everyone felt that Daming was going to die.

But after a day and a night passed, everyone now felt that Daming—seemed to be saved.

Thinking of this, everyone's eyes were on Zhu Cihong.

Regardless of whether they like Zhu Cihong or not, everyone must admit that the reason why the city of Beijing is still intact and why the Ming Dynasty has not yet perished is all because of this fifteen-year-old prince who has turned the tide!

The chief assistant of the cabinet, Wei Zaode, couldn't help but said: "Prince, all the ministers have gathered, may I ask where your Majesty is?"

Zhu Cilang glanced at the words and found that there were indeed many people in the hall.

As the prince, Zhu Cihong is not well known to everyone.

Zhu Cihong glanced at Wang Chengen: "Read it."

Wang Chengen immediately stepped forward and read the will that Chongzhen ordered him to draw up just now, which made Zhu Cihong arbitrary.

After hearing this decree, the hall suddenly became quiet.

Everyone is not stupid, the meaning of this decree is to give Zhu Cihong a Shangfang sword!
Wei Zaode coughed dryly, and said a little unsteadily, "So, Your Majesty..."

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

Although he knew it was wrong, Wei Zaode couldn't help but took two steps back.

Fortunately, Zhu Cihong only took two steps and stood still on the steps of the throne.

"Father will not come, today, I will chat with everyone.

Ladies and gentlemen, everyone must be very clear about the current situation in Daming.So I don't want to talk nonsense here, so let's just say it directly.

Daming needs money now, so Bengong, on behalf of his father, wants to borrow some money from everyone.

If everyone is willing to donate your family wealth as military pay, I only need [-]% of your net worth, and I can give you an IOU, and Daming will pay it off in the future.

If someone felt that his family really had no money, then Ben Gong would take someone to search his house, and if they found more than 1000 taels of cash and treasures, they would be confiscated directly.

Well, the matter is as simple as that, everyone should think about how to do it, and then give Ben Gong an answer! "

This time, Zhu Cihong used "borrowing", which was different from the way he dealt with Cao Huachun and Zhou Guozhang.

This is mainly because Cao Huachun belonged to Chongzhen's slave, Zhou Guozhang was Chongzhen's father-in-law, and they could be regarded as Chongzhen's "own family", so it was barely reasonable for Zhu Cihong to directly copy the homes of these two people.

But if there are so many important ministers of the Ming Dynasty present, if all their homes are copied, then these guys will really turn to the enemy every minute.

You must know that there are actually many courtiers who are still loyal to Daming. Although they are indeed a bit stingy, they can't be beaten to death with a stick, can they?

Even so, after Zhu Cihong finished speaking, the audience was still in an uproar.

After hearing Zhu Cihong's words, Wei Zaode, chief assistant of the cabinet, kept changing his expression.

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

The prince is stealing money, Mr. Shoufu, you have to stand up!

Wei Zaode knew better what happened to Cao Huachun and Zhou Guozhang.

What should I do?
Wei Zaode struggled for a moment, but he still gritted his teeth and stood up.

"His Royal Highness's move is too ridiculous. It is simply the tyranny of Xia Jie, Shang Zhou, and Zhou You! The old minister is for the sake of the world, and we must resolutely oppose this matter!"

　Thanks to the book friend Yimi Zhizhi for the reward.In addition, it is the new book issue after all, so I ask for some recommendation tickets, thank you everyone.
