After hearing this, Zhang Mingwei reminded Emperor Chongzhen: "Why did Your Majesty promote him again and again, and finally he reached such a high position as a juren?"

"Of course he has outstanding talents!" Emperor Chongzhen replied naturally when he heard this.

Prince Zhu Cilang knew that there must be something wrong with it, so he looked at his father and Zhang Mingwei, and listened to them talking with great interest, without any sleepiness.

Zhang Mingwei looked at Emperor Chongzhen who was a little confused and reminded again: "What talent does he have? According to the information I have checked, he was promoted quickly, but he had no famous contributions. Dalinghe City fell and he was dismissed from office, but he was promoted instead; he talked about the way of using troops, but his soldiers mutiny but nothing happened..."

Listening to these words, Emperor Chongzhen also wanted to defend Chen Xinjia: "However, he had achieved great success in rectifying the border defense. He was proficient in military affairs and was far superior to other ministers. Whether it was foreign officials, military supervisors, or ministers in the court praised him..."

Although Chen Xinjia was his country's Gancheng at this time, it was argued that Zhang Mingwei's previous words gradually, he could not continue to say it himself.

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen's face became increasingly ugly, Zhang Mingwei was not afraid of attacking him, so he reminded him again: "At the beginning of the third year of Chongzhen, the Changli County Magistrate Zuo Yingxuan blocked the Jianlu army's siege for seven consecutive days. He was one of the few county magistrates who defended the city at that time. Although he was promoted later, he was not exiled to Fenzhou Prefecture in the end? This was a real achievement, not a praising. They were both from Juren, but the situations of the two were so different. Why?"

Before Emperor Chongzhen could answer, Zhu Cixuan next to him responded first: "Sir, is it because the Shanxi merchants gave him money?"

After hearing this, Zhang Mingwei turned his head to look at him, and had to exclaim in his heart, Zhu Cilang is a man of teaching!

Turning back, Zhang Mingwei looked at Emperor Chongzhen, who looked very ugly and had some angry expressions, and said again: "Also, in the defeat of Songshan, I have learned from historical records that Zu Dashou sent dead soldiers to break out and say that reinforcements should steadily advance with the chariot camp and not to start a war rashly. Hong Chengchou and His Majesty meant to fight steadily, but Chen Xinjia advocated a quick battle and decided to attack in four ways, and sent Zhang Ruoqi to lobby. At the same time, he wrote a letter to encourage Hong Chengchou to send troops. As a result, he was defeated and the last main army of the court was surrounded and annihilated. I wonder if this happened?"

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen's face was extremely ugly. From Zhang Mingwei's questions, he already understood that he had mistakenly regarded garbage as a treasure and misjudged the person.

Zhang Mingwei knew the answer when he saw his face, and then concluded: "It can be seen that Chen Xinjia was not proficient in military affairs at all, but was praised by internal and external officials. He did not have the credit for his actions, but was promoted quickly. There is no other reason for this. Just as the prince said, using money to open up the way, and this is also in line with the customs of the Ming Dynasty's officialdom!"

When he followed the local customs, he spoke a lot with Emperor Chongzhen, and he spoke in an ancient accent.

Emperor Chongzhen lowered his head and held the quilt tightly in both hands, holding it very tightly, so that the blue veins on the back of his hands appeared, and he was obviously very angry.

At this time, he not only felt that he was fooled by Chen Xinjia, but more because of the corruption of the administration. He only recognized money and no longer had him as his king and father.

Thinking of this, he suddenly raised his head again, deep expectations emerged in his eyes, and looked at Zhang Mingwei and thought to himself: Thanks to God’s pity for Daming, he actually surrendered his sir. From then on, I have a real backbone!

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen said sincerely to Zhang Mingwei: "It's thanks to the sir that I won't be fooled by them. I will definitely cut him into pieces!"

Hearing this, Zhang Mingwei advised him instead: "Your Majesty, this is the result I have guessed based on historical materials. What is the real situation? It is best to let the factory guards investigate it again! The cancer of Shanxi merchants is also deeply rooted and intricate. You must check it out clearly before you can get it uprooted."

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen originally wanted to say that he would not need to investigate again. Chen Xinjia deserved to die, but later, when Zhang Mingwei said that it was related to the removal of the Shanxi merchant's cancer, he did not say this.

After thinking for a while, when Emperor Chongzhen was about to speak, suddenly there was a movement from the door of the palace: "I, Wang Chengen, interrogated Wang Dehua and came to return the order."

Emperor Chongzhen was stunned when he heard this. Why is it so fast?

Even though he thought about this, he still let Wang Chengen enter the palace.

Zhang Mingwei was also a little curious. The result was found so quickly?

When Wang Chengen entered the hall, he was shocked when he saw the situation inside. He had never heard of outsiders lying in the same bed as the emperor, the prince slept with him, and even the eldest princess was in the side hall!

At this moment, he had a deeper understanding of the importance of Zhang Mingwei. However, at this moment, he had no time to think about it and immediately replied to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I have seized the account book of Wang Dehua's collection of money since this year. It involves so much that it is shocking. Please read it."

After saying that, he took another step forward and presented the account book to Emperor Chongzhen with both hands.

Emperor Chongzhen immediately took the account book and started looking through it. Wang Chengen immediately took the candle and approached it so that the emperor could see it clearly.

Just as Emperor Chongzhen had just turned a few pages, his face turned pale, and then he turned faster and faster, his face became increasingly ugly.

Suddenly, he closed the account book suddenly and shouted loudly: "Damn it, damn it, all deserve to die..."

If he had not had a clear impression of the corruption of the court and the corruption of the administration that Zhang Mingwei mentioned before, he would definitely have a deep understanding of it after seeing this account book.

Emperor Chongzhen, who was a little furious, handed the account book to Zhang Mingwei, and said hatefully: "Sir, please see, this is really shocking. Everyone should kill civil servants!"

After saying that, he seemed to remember that Wang Chengen was actually similar to these people and had greedy for a lot of money, which made him look a little wrong when he looked at Wang Chengen.

When Wang Chengen saw this look, his forehead suddenly became sweaty. He knew that although Zhang Mingwei excused him, the emperor definitely understood what was going on. He was just because he was with him and had a way to hang himself, so he was not angry.

Now because of this book, the emperor remembered that he had a share, and this impression would be difficult to change in the future!

At this time, Wang Chengen didn't know why, but when he remembered Wang Dehua's warning, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful: Can a friendship that is just hanged is really foolproof?

Besides, after Zhang Mingwei took the account book, he looked through it and found that it was not surprising at all.

In this account book, from Zhou Yanru, the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, and officials who had some positions in the capital, all gave gifts to Wang Dehua. In addition, many people in the East Factory also had filial piety to Wang Dehua.

He was watching. In order to regain some of the impression in Emperor Chongzhen's mind, Wang Chengen on the side had to try to express himself, so he asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, these are only this year. I will continue to interrogate, but... I just don't know what to do with these people?"

Although he just shouted, "Everyone should kill civil officials", it would be absolutely unrealistic if he really wanted to kill them all. Faced with such a case of bribery that almost all the court was bribed, to be honest, Emperor Chongzhen himself didn't know what to do.
