Chongzhen wanted to be a promising wise ruler, but the cabinet could not control it. He was afraid that ministers would form cliques, but no powerful figure helped him to suppress all officials. Even Donglin was in constant conflict. At this time, it seemed very good, but in fact it was full of dangers.

The current Emperor Chongzhen was eager to find such a person. Since he killed Wei Zhongxian, Emperor Chongzhen had cut off his arms. The power to check and balance the Donglin Party in the court really made him feel uncomfortable.

In fact, Chongzhen had long regretted it. What he regretted was not killing Wei Zhongxian, but after killing Wei Zhongxian, he should support a confidant again. This confidant must be cruel and harsh enough to make all officials frightened and fear like a snake or a scorpion.

But Chongzhen could not find such a person. Since the fall of the eunuch party, the East and West Factory almost became a decoration. The Jinyiwei became a vassal of the Donglin Party. Luo Yangxing was not good at wolf nature and was more feminine, so he could not suppress those civil officials.

Queen Zhou was so scared that she was so scared that she said: "Ci Yang, why don't you admit your father's mistake? Long live, Ci Yang is a child who is young and ignorant and speaks without any restraint. In the sense that he is still a child, he will remove his position as the Jinyiwei. I think these rebellious words are taught by others. This child is born honest, how could he have such rebellious words? Long live to be kind and spare Ci Yang this time."

How could Empress Zhou not be afraid? Zhu Cilang is her own son. He is also the crown prince. As the saying goes, mother is noble by her son. If Chongzhen abolished the crown prince, she, the queen, would naturally be implicated. If she was abandoned by Chongzhen, the deep palace was lonely and without the emperor's favor, she would be destined to die.

Unexpectedly, Chongzhen just waved his hand decadently: "Get up, I'm not blaming Ci Yang. I'm blaming myself, I'm all confused. These rebel ministers have hidden me so cruelly. They collect commercial taxes and compete for profit with the people. What a fight for profit with the people! Everyone can kill civil servants!"

Chongzhen wanted to use civil servants, but he did not believe in civil servants. Civil servants were afraid of this emperor because they knew Emperor Chongzhen's suspicious personality. He made the king and his ministers disagree with their morality, and the collection of commercial taxes was to touch the fundamental interests of the Donglin Party, so they naturally had to hide it from the emperor.

Now Emperor Chongzhen knows it, but what can he do if he knows it? He proposes to collect commercial taxes again, and the civil servant group will still oppose it again. Even if Chongzhen strives to maintain it with the power of imperial power, and there are policies and countermeasures from the top, these collusion between officials and businessmen in the Donglin Party will definitely have a way to deal with it.

I am afraid that when the time comes, they will impose commercial tax on the people, so they will change the soup and not the medicine.

Queen Zhou looked at her son in a panic, and Zhu Cixuan went over to help her mother up: "My mother, get up quickly, the ground is cold."

Emperor Chongzhen only felt that there was a darkness in front of him. What kind of Ming Dynasty was this? All the people were already decaying, and what was the true or false? How many of these civil servants who were full of benevolence, righteousness and morality were truly loyal, or were they all a group of rebellious ministers?

"I am tired, please go to Qianqing Palace. I, I still have some memorials to deal with."

Chongzhen dragged his tired body and barely stood up from the chair. He was still in his prime, but he gave Zhu Cilang the impression of an old man with a staggering step.

Yes, Chongzhen was really too tired. It is no exaggeration to say that facing such a bad Ming Dynasty, if it were Zhu Cilang, it might not be better than Chongzhen.

Even though he was tired and even though he was in a state of silence, Chongzhen decided to return to the Ganqing Palace and continue to review memorials from various places. Especially disasters in various places, and handling the rebels' reports.

Liaodong came to urge the salary again. Although the 800,000 taels of silver from Zhou Kui, the father-in-law Zhou Kui, had already been put into the national treasury and could be sent to Liaodong to pay military salary immediately, officials from various departments were eyeing this batch of silver, and life was not easy for each department. Everyone wanted to make a share of their own departments. The biggest problem in front of Chongzhen was the word "no money".

"Father," Zhu Cilang called him: "Don't you want to hear what your sons think?"

Chongzhen was stunned. He was really confused just now. After his son said this, he sat down again: "You, tell me, I have any good solutions to listen."

This time, Emperor Chongzhen no longer treated Zhu Cilang as a child. Instead, he sat upright on the chair and wanted to hear what Zhu Cilang had unique insights.

"Father, since I have taken charge of the Jinyiwei, let me do this. You are the emperor, so I can't turn against my ministers. If you take the blame, as long as my father's will agree, I have already chosen three of the most damn unlucky people, and start from them first, and knock on the mountain and shock the tiger."

According to Zhu Cilang's idea, as long as he received the support of Chongzhen, he would kill Chen Yan, Wei Zaode and Wang Zhixin.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen did not have any disagreement. He angrily said, "How can three be enough? What kind of mountain is knocking on the mountain and shook the tiger. The petty family is arrogant, I promise you the privilege. All corrupt officials who should investigate and kill them. These dogs and things are actually deceiving me everywhere, and even if they are killed, they deserve it! All the ministers can mistake me, and all the civil officials can kill them!"

Emperor Chongzhen was filled with righteous indignation and wished to kill all the civil and military officials in the court. None of these civil servants was good. They killed all of them and did not relieve their hatred. They deceived their superiors and concealed their subordinates, making a good Ming Dynasty full of holes.

Chongzhen was so fierce that even Empress Zhou could not listen: "Your Majesty, you..."

Yes, this is too intense. What Zhu Cilang was afraid of Chongzhen's unmoved, and even more afraid that he was strong and fierce.

Why? It was because Emperor Chongzhen was too eager for quick success and instant benefits. He thought that all civil officials could be killed, but indeed these ministers should be killed. But even if you kill all the officials, the problem is still there. Simply killing indiscriminately cannot solve the problem. During the Chongzhen period, there were few ministers killed?
