Today is the most depressing day since Chongzhen took office.

He had never seen the officials dare to be so unscrupulous in front of him before, and he was so angry that he didn't even eat dinner.

If one or two ministers dared to be so arrogant, Chongzhen would definitely punish them, but most of the civil and military officials in the court were like this, which made Chongzhen suddenly feel a burst of anger and sadness.

At this time Wang Chengen came in from outside, walked quietly to Chongzhen and whispered:

"Your Majesty, I'm back!"

Chongzhen suddenly became energetic:

"Quickly, let him in quickly..."

Now Zhu Cixi has become the spiritual support of Emperor Chongzhen.

Although everything in the court today was all because of Zhu Cixiang.

But when Chongzhen felt helpless, he still wanted to hear whether Ziwei Emperor Xing had any way to deal with this.

When Zhu Cihong came in, he saw the memorials all over the floor. He knew that the emperor was once again venting his unhappiness in his best way.

He hurried forward and bowed to salute:

"See you, Father!"

Chongzhen stared at Zhu Cixiang for a moment before saying:

"You traitor, do you know how much trouble you have caused? Look at the memorials on the ground impeaching you, as well as the attacks on you by the officials in the court today, and they were all chased to the Qianqing Palace!"

Zhu Cihong knew that Chongzhen always cared about saving face, and what happened today must have made the emperor extremely embarrassed.

So he poured a cup of tea with his own hands and handed it to the emperor and said:

"My father is calming down the fire, but my sons and ministers have touched their core interests. Of course they will jump over the wall in a hurry."

"Back then, my father abolished Dongchang and Jinyiwei because of these idiots, and also abolished commercial tax and mining tax.

Not only did the emperor lose his eyes and ears to spy on his ministers, but it also left the Ming Dynasty's treasury empty: tax revenue shrank extremely.

Now that the Ming Dynasty is in dire straits, they still insist on opposing all the new policies of the court that are beneficial to the people for their own personal gain. If this continues, the Ming Dynasty will be in danger.

Father, none of the reforms are smooth sailing. Shang Yang's reform was disrupted, and Zhang Juzheng was liquidated after his death, but his sons and ministers are not afraid.

Erchen believes that there is only one way to deal with the civil and military officials who oppose the reform, and that is to kill them. Kill them all with heads rolling, kill them with blood flowing like rivers. Only in this way can we save the Ming Dynasty..."

Chongzhen felt that Zhu Cixiang's words were very reasonable, but after Zhu Cixiang said the last part, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but trembled. Can all the gentry in the world be killed?

"You can't be an emperor. The Ming Dynasty still relies on officials to govern the world, and we must not kill people on a large scale. What should we do if the gentry and landlords in the world fight against the imperial court and rise up in rebellion?"

Zhu Cixi snorted coldly:

"They are relied on to govern the world. Does my father know how they govern the world for family and personal gain? The rise of bandits and the establishment of slaves are all caused by them..."

Zhu Cixiang's words immediately made Zhu Cixiang's eyes light up. He thought of what Zhu Cixiang once said:

"One day I will take my father to see how difficult it is for your country and your millions of people to survive!"

Before Zhu Cixiang finished speaking, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly grabbed Zhu Cixiang's arm and said:

"Your Majesty, tomorrow the ministers will definitely come to Qianqing Palace to remonstrate. You and your father will quietly leave the capital to see my thousands of people and the country, and hang these old people outside the Qianqing Palace to see them. How long can I hold on..."

"ah……"

Chongzhen's naive idea shocked Zhu Cixiang.

The officials outside the Qianqing Palace were still remonstrating, the land inventory in Tongzhou had not yet begun, and the expansion of the National Guard Army had not been completed. How could he just walk away?

"No, father, you must not leave the capital at this time. The time has not come yet..."

Before Zhu Cixi finished speaking, Chongzhen interrupted him sharply:

"Shut up, let's just decide. Leave before dawn tomorrow. My father has listened to you many times, why can't you satisfy my father once?

If the outside world is really as what the emperor said, the emperor will be in charge of the country alone when he comes back. Father, I am tired and need to have a good rest!"

Zhu Cixi felt incredible and asked hurriedly:

"real?"

Chongzhen stared:

"You have no joke!"

Chongzhen's words gave Zhu Cixiang hope. If he was really allowed to oversee the country alone, wouldn't he be able to spend as much money as he wanted?

Zhu Cixiang bowed and accepted the order:

"According to the order, I will go and prepare immediately!"

Seeing that the prince agreed to take him out for inspection, Chongzhen was overjoyed:

"Your Majesty is so good, remember to bring all the National Guards with you..."

Emperor Chongzhen's words hit Zhu Cixiang again.

What's the point of going out for a private visit with so many people? As long as it's safe.

"Father, you are visiting privately, and you are making such a big show of it that you are not afraid that the civil servants will hug your thigh and not let go? I will only bring the mighty battalion to guarantee your safety."

"Oh, by the way, keep this for self-defense!"

Zhu Cixiang said, and immediately handed a shell gun to the emperor.

"Hand gun?"

Chongzhen was not a fool. He knew it was a fire gun at a glance. Bi Maokang had shown him a blueprint of a handgun before. Although it looked different from later pistols, it looked like a fire gun at a glance!

Chongzhen immediately reached out and took the pistol, looking up and down and left and right with a smile on his face, but he didn't know how to use it.

"Load the bullet, turn on the safety, aim at the target, hold the gun tightly and pull the trigger..."

Zhu Cihong taught the emperor Lao Tzu the firing procedures one by one. Unexpectedly, Chongzhen pulled the trigger before he finished speaking:

"Bang..."

There was a gunshot, and the bullet came out of the gun, grazing Wang Chengen's scalp at high speed. Lao Wang screamed and almost fainted:

"Your Majesty..."

Chongzhen did not expect that the recoil of the pistol would be so powerful. He almost sent Lao Wang, the most loyal person to him, to the west. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed:

"This...I didn't mean it..."

"Father, this will kill people. You must hold the gun tightly. From now on, you can hold the gun with both hands..."

Zhu Cixiang stepped forward to help Lao Wang, who was lying on the ground, and then continued to teach Chongzhen how to shoot.

Chongzhen nodded, held the pistol tightly with both hands and pulled the trigger again:

"boom……"

There was a gunshot, and a blue and white porcelain vessel not far away turned into a pile of fragments with the gunshot.

Zhu Cixi couldn't help feeling a little distressed when he saw an antique disappearing like this:

"Father, from now on, you must not practice shooting indoors. It is best to practice in a deserted place in the imperial garden. I will build a shooting range for you in a while!"

It was just a blue and white porcelain. Although Chongzhen was short of silver, there were many such porcelains, so he didn't care.

"His Majesty……"

Several eunuchs and a group of royal guards heard the gunshots, and they immediately rushed in thinking someone was assassinating the emperor.

When he came in, he found that there were only the emperor, the crown prince, and Wang Chengen standing aside, and there were no assassins.

Zhu Cixi waved his hands to them:

"Father, you are practicing your musket, please step back!"

"As you command!"

The eunuch and Qianhu, the Jin Yiwei, immediately left.

After returning to Zhongcui Palace, he immediately sent an order to summon Li Ruolian, Gao Wencai and Zhou Yuji.

The three of them received the notice and rushed to Zhongcui Palace as soon as possible.

After the ceremony, Zhu Cixi looked at the three people and said solemnly:

"Listen carefully, my father is leaving the capital in the next two days. This matter must be kept strictly confidential. Once the news is leaked, you will come forward to see me..." I like the Ming Dynasty, and the prosperous age starts from the prince supervising the country. Please collect it: (www.sodu777
