Chapter 64
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen began to read the memorial that Wang Chengen presented to him.

Upon seeing it, he immediately frowned.

There are quite a few lists of those who obtained military positions through public bribery, some in the capital, some in the capital, and even some in the Jin.

The lowest official positions are guerrillas, and the highest ones are the first rank of general soldier. Wu Sangui, Zuo Liangyu, Liu Liangzuo, Tang Tong, Li Fuming, Bai Guangen, etc. are all on the list.

It is safe to say that this list is a bit shocking!

Among other things, most of the generals that the court relied on were involved in bribery.Can such a general be truly loyal to the emperor and serve the country?Can you really devote your mind to fighting and suppressing thieves?
No wonder, no matter whether they were suppressing thieves or killing Jianlu, they were all defeated repeatedly, but most of them were unscathed, and they were able to make a comeback in a blink of an eye, and they were still the first in the army!
Rotten, the army really is rotten!

No, it's not rotten, it's rotten!

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was full of disappointment.According to the list, sweat broke out on his forehead.

If it wasn't for the heaven-sent treasure that allowed him to contact the later Liu Weichao, then he would have been kept in the dark about everything.

I don't know about Zhou Yanru and Chen Xinjia's messy affairs, but they are still using them as confidantes.

He didn't know that the imperial examination room was controlled by Fushe, and the corruption of the officialdom had already escaped his control;

I don't know that the generals have fallen so far, and the rot of the army has reached the point where it stinks;

If it wasn't for Liu Weichao, I guess I was still deceived by them. I seem to be conscientious every day, worrying from morning to night, but in fact I am just worrying about some things that my subordinates make him worry about, and even self-righteously handle government affairs fairly, but in fact it is Being led by the nose by these courtiers below!

……

With all these things, can the country not be subjugated?

Emperor Chongzhen, who was aware of this again, was naturally panicked, vigilant, and thankful again!

Sitting there, looking at the memorial, thinking for a long time, suddenly, he seemed to think of something, so he went to read the memorial again and flipped through it repeatedly.

Then, Emperor Chongzhen raised his head, looked at Wang Chengen, and asked a little puzzled: "So many generals bribed Chen Xinjia, but I found out why none of these generals served as generals in the Beijing camp?"

If this is the case, it means that Jingying is still good, at least in this area, it can keep itself clean!
Wang Chengen was a little hesitant when he heard this, especially when he saw the expression on Emperor Chongzhen's face, from the grief and indignation just now to a trace of joy and expectation, thinking that if he said it, he would hit the emperor again, okay?

"What's the matter?" Seeing Wang Chengen's expression, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help feeling something was wrong, his brows furrowed again, and he immediately shouted, "Say!"

When Wang Chengen heard this, he didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly told him: "Long Live Lord, the Jingying is one acre of land owned by Duke Cheng, and Chen Xinjia, Minister of the Ministry of War, can't get involved. The generals in the Beijing camp are just trying to curry favor with Duke Cheng. They are all his confidants, so there is no need to bribe Chen Xinjia!"

Speaking of this, seeing Emperor Chongzhen's ugly face, Wang Chengen thought in his heart that he had already said it anyway, so he continued: "After Chen Xinjia took office as Minister of the Ministry of War, he wanted to get involved in the appointment and dismissal of the generals of the Beijing camp, but he was taught a lesson by Cheng Guogong. Once. The two of them, the well water does not interfere with the river water!"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, his expression became even uglier.

When did Jingying become Zhu Chunchen's one-acre three-point land!That is the Beijing Camp, the biggest military force defending the capital!
"The generals in the Beijing camp are all disciples of Duke Cheng, and the soldiers in the camp were all transferred by them to seek their own personal gain!" Wang Chengen continued to report, "In addition to working for them to make profits, they are paid nothing. It is normal, when Long Live Lord is going to inspect the Beijing camp, he will gather some local ruffians from outside to act as heads."

When he said this, he felt that Emperor Chongzhen was extremely angry, so he quickly added: "These are all discovered by the servants who paid attention to the affairs of the outer court after taking charge of the West Factory, especially when they secretly investigated Duke Cheng."

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen tried his best to suppress his anger, and said to Wang Cheng'en with a slightly changed voice: "You have done a good job, very good! You have done your duty very well, and I am very satisfied!"

After he finished speaking, he waited for a while, and his mood improved again, before he continued to ask: "Is there anything else about Zhu Chunchen?"

"Going back to Lord Long Live, my servant also found out that Zhu Chunchen also had contacts with the palace. He has a good relationship with Wang Zhixin!" Wang Chengen quickly reported, "The servant also found out that there are family servants in the palace who live in Zhu Chunchen's village!"

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen was shocked immediately.

Because he remembered, when Liu Weichao talked to him about the Nine Lotus Bodhisattva, he suggested that he could check it with the family of the servants in the palace.

Now that Wang Chengen has reported that there are family members in the palace who are being taken care of by Zhu Chunchen, it means that the relationship is extraordinary.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen's expression became extremely gloomy again, and he asked again: "But is it related to the case of Nine Lotus Bodhisattva?"

"Go back to Long Live Lord, the servants are still investigating, and it will take time!" Wang Chengen heard that this case was very important, so he didn't dare to speak casually, so he replied truthfully.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen urged: "Find out the truth for me as soon as possible! I want to see who is plotting against the royal family and killing my son!"

Now there are signs pointing to Cheng Guogong Zhu Chunchen, which makes Emperor Chongzhen a little worried while being angry.Because Zhu Chunchen controls the Beijing camp.

No matter how bad the Beijing camp is, it is still the largest army in the capital city.Thanks to Zhou Yuji who had already led the troops back, he felt a little more confident.

Otherwise, you may not dare to check again.In case of being discovered, what should I do if I jump over the wall in a hurry?
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen was also a little vigilant, so he told Wang Chengen: "Be careful about Zhu Chunchen's affairs, and don't reveal any rumors!"

"Your servant understands!" Wang Cheng'en heard it, and quickly replied, "It is because the matter is so important that my servant used the most trusted person to investigate in secret, so it took more time!"

Emperor Chongzhen was somewhat relieved when he heard that he understood the severity of the situation, and immediately praised Wang Chengen a few words before letting him step down.

Night had fallen before he knew it, and Emperor Chongzhen sat alone for a long time before going to have dinner.

That night, he slept with Concubine Tian Gui.

Because Concubine Tian Gui urged him almost every day, now, he can finally tell Concubine Tian Gui that he has some clues.However, no further news was revealed at all, for fear that Concubine Tian Gui could not help revealing clues.

After listening to Emperor Chongzhen's explanation, Concubine Tian Gui held back forcibly, agreed to his request, and held back.

At this moment, the mobile phone hanging on Emperor Chongzhen's chest suddenly vibrated.
