What good things did my son do?

Zhang Weixian was a little disbelief. He thought his sons were still very good. They were all well-educated and would not make trouble without reason. Especially his eldest son, Zhang Zhiji, even if he completely entrusts the Duke of England to him now, it would be reassuring.

But when he took a trembling file from Wang Chengen and saw what Zhang Zhiji did in the file, although Zhang Weixian tried his best to remain calm, his fists clenched and his fingernails pierced into his flesh and palms showed how angry he was in his heart.

Zhang Weixian has ten thousand words to say about his mother’s criticism!

Spicy next door!

Zhang Zhiji, you beast!

Is there anyone who cheats you like?

There are so many nobles in the capital who are dissatisfied with Chongzhen, why is it that you, the beast, come forward?

Because of Chongzhen's behavior of arousing the anger of heaven and people, Zhang Dakui and Huang Debiao wanted to rebel. Needless to say, the nobles who controlled the military power of the Beijing camp would also be happy to see the success. As long as you don't say anything and do nothing, there will naturally be someone to give Zhang Dakui and Huang Debiao a convenience. Why do you need to stand up?

You beast, you just love to show off so much, right? You think your wings are hard, right? You are so stupid!

Damn, look at the good things you did?

Zhang Dakui and Huang Debiao are going to dispatch troops and generals. You just need to ignore them. No one will meddle in other people's business to report them. The nobles have this tacit understanding, so you don't need to point fingers.

But you are so good that you want to do this and send someone to hand over the night to the officers of the five cities, instructing them to pretend not to see all the strange things tonight.

Are you so stupid? Pigs are not so stupid!

There is also the Ministry of War. Cao Zhaowen of the Ministry of War has already managed everything, but you are just a little extravagant and sent someone to check the weapons of the Ministry of War to tell them to turn a blind eye to the weapons lacking in the Ministry of War. You don’t think you have enough shit on you!

Zhang Weixian was almost pissed to death. He never expected that the proud eldest son who thought he could entrust the entire British Duke's Mansion to inherit the British Duke's throne and glory would be so stupid and hopeless!

Fortunately, he has always regarded Zhang Zhiji as his pride, but now there is only endless regret left: Why didn’t I shoot this beast on the wall back then?!

"Have you finished reading it? Lu Jiude, I gave the old Duke a seat and gave the old Duke a tea, so that the old Duke would be shocked by drinking a sip of tea."

After beating Zhang Weixian, Chongzhen changed into a kind face, not for anything else, mainly because he was afraid that Zhang Weixian would be old and be angry after reading the case file, one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, and he was burping directly.

If Zhang Weixian really had something wrong in the palace, no matter whether Chongzhen did it or not, Zhang Weixian's loyal generals would put the pot on Chongzhen. Maybe the 300,000 Beijing camp would rebel. By then, Chongzhen would backfire and would be unable to bear it.

Zhang Weixian was so angry that his heart was about to explode. Fortunately, Lu Jiude brought the sofa to him in time and poured him a cup of hot tea to suppress his shock. This made him finally press back on his heart that was about to jump out of his throat.

After eating a few bites of tea, his mood gradually calmed down. Zhang Weixian said slowly: "Your Majesty, I have no choice but to teach my son, so I would like to deal with him heavily. As for the dog son Zhang Zhiji, he is involved in rebellion. I think he should punish him according to the law."

"Prevent crimes according to the law?" Chongzhen asked back: "If you really follow the law and confirm the crime of treason, what should you be punished according to the law of the Ming Dynasty?"

Zhang Weixian was shocked and murmured: "The person who plots to rebel should be executed by Lingchi, and then the whole family will be executed."

Chongzhen said: "If we really have to deal with it in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty, the British Duke's Mansion will not exist. The British Duke who was obtained by Zhang Yu, the King of Hejian, who was killed in the Ming Dynasty, was extinct since then. Don't the old Duke feel sorry?"

Zhang Weixian said firmly: "The Duke of England has always been loyal to the emperor and stood tall in the court with loyalty to the emperor. If the Duke of England loses its name of loyalty to the emperor, what kind of face can it stand between heaven and earth?"

Chongzhen shook his head. The reason why he mobilized the troops and dispatched the imperial guards to "invited" Zhang Weixian into the palace was not to punish the British Duke's Mansion, but to obtain the military power of the Beijing camp.

He waved his hand and said, "The old Duke doesn't have to worry too much. Don't mention the great merits of King Zhang Yu of Hejian who saved the emperor repeatedly and died in battle for the Ming Dynasty. As a veteran of the four dynasties and ministers of life, the old Duke held the sky with his hands and helped me and the emperor to ascend the throne, it would be enough to offset the mistakes made by Zhang Zhiji.

I might as well open the skylight and say something. I am asking the old Duke to enter the palace this time, not to punish Zhang's extreme crime, but to reorganize the Beijing camp and want to get the support of the old Duke."

The reorganization of the Beijing Camp is pretty good. In fact, it is to deprive the British Duke's Mansion of military power and take the Beijing Camp in your own hands.

At this moment, Zhang Weixian finally understood Chongzhen's ultimate goal, but the handle was in Chongzhen's hand. If he didn't want to kill the eighth generation of the British Duke's Mansion to destroy the eighth generation of the British Duke's Mansion, he could only give up the military power of the Beijing camp!

Zhang Weixian remained silent, as if he wanted to struggle for a while.

Chongzhen also said: "Old Duke, I might as well tell the truth. At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Jingying indeed lived up to the name of the Ming Dynasty's first power. Whether it was establishing the Ming Dynasty or expelling the Tartars, the Jingying made great achievements.

But to this day, the old Duke asked himself, how much combat effectiveness is left in the Beijing camp? Can he bear the heavy responsibility of defending the capital, defending the Northern Zhili, and resisting Jiannu?"

Zhang Weixian was speechless, and everyone knew the situation of the Beijing camp. Today, it is still reasonable to bully the people of the Beijing camp, but to resist the Jiannu who is like a wolf or a tiger, it is like committing suicide.

Zhu Youjian said earnestly: "I know that to this day, the civil and military officials of the court have not taken the Jiannu who rose to the Changbai Mountains seriously. However, since the rise of Jiannu, our Ming Dynasty has been repeatedly defeated by Jiannu. Now Jiannu has opened its country and the Liao territory has been completely lost. Jiannu has become a major concern of the Ming Dynasty.

Although our Ming Dynasty has a million armors, which seems to be huge and powerful, looking at the border troops of the Nine Towns and the Beijing Camp, which unit can be matched with Jiannu? No, there is no one that can be fought!

My Ming Dynasty is now like the weak Song Dynasty hundreds of years ago. It seems to be huge and has a large population, but in fact it is like the sunset and dusk, huge but decadent; and Jiannu is like the Jurchen rising in the Northeast. It seems to be sparsely populated and in short supply, but it is like the rising sun in the morning, thriving.

If the Ming Dynasty does not change, then the tragic incident of the Jurchens destroying the Northern Song Dynasty will happen to the Ming Dynasty, and I, Chongzhen, will also repeat the mistakes of the two emperors Huiqin. The Chongzhen shame and Jingkang shame are on the same level as in history, and will be cursed by future generations!"
