This can only be said. How can you eliminate Emperor Chongzhen's anger and Queen Zhou's doubts? Zhu Cilang has no good idea. Then he can only make up a reason casually. Although Chongzhen was angry, he still couldn't hide his concern on his face.

I have to say that Chongzhen is actually a good emperor and a good father. However, what he threw to him was a mess that was hard to return. Zhu Cilang looked at his father's temples and couldn't help but feel moved: "Father, you must take care of your dragon body and don't be too busy. You have white hair on your head."

Chongzhen was stunned. This was also a son's concern for his father. Looking at his son's true feelings, Chongzhen couldn't help but feel soft-hearted, but Chongzhen was not very good at expressing his heart: "Son of the Emperor, you are the crown prince of our Ming Dynasty. Never be frivolous and impetuous. The country of our ancestors for more than two hundred years will fall on your shoulders in the future, you understand."

Empress Zhou felt that Chongzhen was too harsh on his son. After all, this was just a child. She leaned over and hugged Zhu Cixuan: "Son, I believe that you must have your own reason for doing this. Emperor Chengzu asked for a dream, but it is true that you are still afraid of your father's punishment and said nonsense on purpose. To be honest, your mother and your father will not blame you."

After all, the matter of ancestors entrusting dreams was too important, and Empress Zhou was really afraid that her son would deliberately fabricate it to avoid Chongzhen's punishment.

Although Zhu Cilang was only twelve years old, he had the mind of a time traveler adult. He nodded in his head: "Mother, my child did dream of Emperor Chengzu. Emperor Chengzu was exactly the same as the portrait in the ancestral temple, and he was very majestic. Emperor Chengzu told me, "Cilang, your father is too impatient, and everything is too hasty, so he will not achieve success. Governing a big country is like cooking small fresh food, and doubting people do not have to use people. If those civil officials are not restricted, they may cause disaster to our country. There is a tree behind the coal mountain, which may be detrimental to your father and the country of Ming Dynasty. If you take someone to cut it down, you will ensure that your father is safe."

This sentence made Chongzhen and Empress Zhou numb, and it didn't seem like it was said by a twelve-year-old child. Moreover, Chongzhen's personality was impatient and suspicious. Empress Cao had advised him several times in private, and Empress Yi'an of Xizong had also said this. She had never said this in front of outsiders, and even Zhu Cilang didn't know it.

He was so sincere that Chongzhen was even more shocked. After moving to the eunuch party, the Donglin Party was the dominant one. Chongzhen did not regret it. He should have supported another eunuch party when he killed Wei Zhongxian, but the result was that the current civil servant group was difficult to shake. So, is it really Emperor Chengzu's appearance?

Queen Zhou looked at Chongzhen in horror: "Your Majesty, it is often said that a hundred-year-old locust tree is a ghost. The word "Lotus" is a wooden ghost. Your Majesty is a real dragon emperor, so he is not afraid of ghosts. Although these three locust trees and nine thorns are, this locust tree grows crookedly, not a tree of the right way. If the emperor goes to cut it, it is also a filial piety. You and I have misunderstood the emperor."

In ancient times, the palace had various kinds of three locust trees and nine thorns. The ministers and officials sat under the tree. Those who faced the three locust trees were the three dukes, so they had the allusion of "faced three locust trees, and three dukes were in their position". It can be seen that the feng shui status of the locust trees was high, which could eliminate evil and drive away evil and attract wealth, and had the effect of conserving the house.

The problem is that this locust tree is a crooked tree, and it grows crookedly as ominous. Zhu Cilang cut it down, which shows that he was filial to Chongzhen. With the reason of Emperor Chengzu Tomeng, how could Chongzhen not be moved?

Excited Chongzhen also leaned over and held Zhu Cilang's hand: "Oh, it's me who believed in slander and misunderstood you. Prince, I am very pleased with your filial piety. I won't work hard tonight. Our family hasn't been reunited for a long time. Queen, please continue to prepare a table of wine and food, and I want to have a meal here."

That’s right, I don’t know how long it took, Chongzhen didn’t reunite with his family. Not only Queen Zhou was very happy, but even the palace people around him were very excited.

The eunuch Wang Chengen hurriedly ordered the warm situation of the family reunion, and Zhu Cilang had not enjoyed this feeling for a long time.

However, he knew that there was not much time left for the Ming Dynasty. When the country was destroyed, Chongzhen was hanging himself on the crooked tree behind the coal mountain. Now he cut down the tree, hoping that the Ming Dynasty's national fortune could continue.

However, Zhu Cixuan knew that he existed as a Ming Dynasty in a parallel world. Since he had traveled through time, he would never allow such a thing to happen again. If he didn't show some skills to show everyone, others would probably continue to underestimate him.

It can be seen that although Emperor Chongzhen tried his best to show his happiness, his eyebrows were still filled with sorrow. Yes, domestic chaos was like this, and the situation in Liaodong was in danger. The national treasury was getting increasingly deficit and had already bottomed out. If taxes were not imposed, how the country would operate and how the soldiers would fight. If taxes were imposed, the people would be in dire straits, and more rebellions would be imposed.

This is a vicious cycle, how could Chongzhen not worry? In the eighth year of Chongzhen, the rebel Zhang Xianzhong captured Fengyang and burned the Ming Dynasty imperial tomb. At that time, Emperor Chongzhen ran to the Taimiao in mourning clothes and cried loudly. It was because these people could not survive and they all followed the rebels to rebel.

To be honest, this emperor was really pitiful. Chongzhen worked diligently every day, not close to beauty, not extravagant, and was personally responsible for everything. He handled government affairs late at night every night, and only slept for about two hours a day (one hour was two hours in the ancients). Such an emperor became the king of the destruction of the country.

"Father, are you a little unhappy?" Zhu Cixuan asked tentatively.

Chongzhen forced a smile and touched Zhu Cilang's head: "I am very happy, my son, you Jinyiwei are still used to it."

Emperor Chongzhen was really happy for a while after getting 800,000 taels of silver from the father-in-law. He heard Zhu Cilang say that he could get 10 million taels of silver in three months. Chongzhen was twice as excited. But after he was excited, he thought that this was just a child's words. He was asked to take charge of the Jinyiwei as the deputy commander, but now he feels a little regretful when he thinks about it.

Fortunately, he is just a deputy, so it's okay to have some experience. As for the ten million taels of silver, it's impossible to turn it out of thin air. After Chongzhen was excited, he no longer felt relieved.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Cixuan replied: "Father, the Jinyiwei recently found some cases. It is evidence of corruption among officials. My sons and sons want to touch them."

Chongzhen frowned: "What's going on?"
