My father is Chongzhen? Then I have no choice but to rebel.

Chapter 11 This rebellious son must be here to kill the king. I will fight him to the death!

In Kunning Palace, Chongzhen, who had just been rebelled against by his son, was lying on the bed with a look of despair on his face.

His eyes were vacant, as if he had suffered a great blow, and he muttered:
"Rebellious son! Rebellious son! What a rebellious son!"

In comparison, Queen Zhou was much calmer.

The reason was simple: the one who rebelled was not someone else, but her own son.

In her opinion, although this matter is a little unbelievable, it is not so difficult to accept if you think about it carefully.

After all, as the crown prince, the Ming Dynasty will be handed over to him sooner or later, and it doesn't make any difference if it's sooner or later.

And to be honest, she really didn't expect that her son, who looked gentle and refined since childhood, would actually rebel and succeed!
You should know that there has never been a precedent of a prince rebelling in the Ming Dynasty.

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard footsteps at the door.

Then, a familiar voice sounded.

"Father, Queen Mother, your son has come to see you."

When Chongzhen heard this voice, he sat up suddenly, his eyes full of anger.

He looked at Queen Zhou and said:
"This rebellious son is definitely here to kill the king. I will fight him to the death!"

Queen Zhou was speechless. If the prince really wanted to kill the king, why would he send him to her? Wouldn't he have just killed him?
Thinking of this, she hurriedly comforted him:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Yan'er is not that kind of person. He won't hurt you."

Chongzhen didn't say anything else, but just looked towards the door with a vigilant look.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Cilang finally walked in.

When he saw Chongzhen looking at him warily, Zhu Cilang grinned.

"Father, you are finally awake. I thought you would never wake up again!"

Chongzhen sneered.

"Hmph! You rebellious son, you're just hoping for my death right now, right? After I die, you can inherit the throne openly and honestly?"

"You wish! I won't die! Unless you kill me!"

As Chongzhen spoke, he put on an appearance as if he was ready to die heroically at any time.

Zhu Cilang just found it funny and was too lazy to argue about it anymore.

He looked directly at Queen Zhou and said:
"Mother, everything I did today was for the sake of the Ming Dynasty's eternal prosperity. I hope you can understand."

"Besides, I'm afraid Father will have to stay here for the rest of this time."

"I will wait until I have stabilized the court and then let you go."

Queen Zhou nodded and said:
"Don't worry, your mother will take good care of your father!"

After a pause, Queen Zhou continued:
"Ying'er, since you have already done this, then your mother will not ask any more questions."

"Mother only hopes that you won't regret it."

Zhu Cilang smiled slightly.

"Don't worry, mother, I will never regret it!"

As he said this, he looked at Chongzhen again.

"Father, starting tomorrow, I will take action against the nobles and reorganize the Beijing camp."

"After that is the Five Military Commandery."

what?
When Chongzhen heard this, his eyes were filled with disbelief, and he even forgot to be angry.

You should know that when Chongzhen just ascended the throne, he actually thought about reorganizing the Beijing camp.

For this purpose, Chongzhen appointed Li Banghua to do this, but the result was very unsatisfactory.

Because there were so many nobles involved, Li Banghua could hardly move forward.

In the following years, Chongzhen tried several more times, but ultimately failed.

Gradually, the matter of rectifying the Beijing camp came to nothing.

Finally, Chongzhen selected some people from the Beijing Camp and formed an army called the Yongwei Camp. This army really gave Chongzhen a big surprise and won many victories in recent years.

Even to this day, he is still fighting everywhere in Shaanxi.

However, they were unable to replenish their personnel and logistics in time, and their military pay was several months in arrears. I heard that they had lost more than half of their troops.
Of course, this is not the point.

The point is that the Beijing Camp couldn't even be rectified by the emperor himself, so how could he, a prince who had just rebelled, possibly rectify it?

What's more, Li Guozhen, who rebelled with him tonight, is the governor of the Beijing camp. Isn't this like killing the donkey after it has served its purpose?

Isn’t he afraid that those guys will rebel?

As if he could see Chongzhen's worry, Zhu Cilang continued:

"Father, I know what you are worried about, but you can rest assured, because I never do anything without confidence."

"What Father cannot do, I will definitely do, and I will definitely save the Ming Dynasty."

"Just wait here for good news from your son!"

After saying this, Zhu Cilang said hello to Empress Dowager Zhou and then left.

"Rebellious son! You really don't know your place! Do you think you can handle those guys?"

"They will definitely gnaw you till not even a bone is left!"

Just as Zhu Cilang walked out of the palace, Chongzhen's voice sounded again behind him.

But Zhu Cilang said nothing, and didn't even pause.

He wanted to see how those guys would eat him to death tomorrow.

Zhu Cilang had no plans to tell Chongzhen about the fact that Luo Yangxing and the nobles had colluded to collect the empty salaries of the Jinyiwei.

Because he was worried that Chongzhen would be furious to death if he knew about it!

Seems like a good thing?

As soon as Chongzhen died, he could immediately succeed to the throne.

But this matter is not that simple. In ancient times, the death of an emperor was an earth-shaking event, and any carelessness would bring immeasurable disaster to the country.

Especially right now.

If Chongzhen really died at this time, and the news reached Liaodong, would Hong Chengchou and his generals lose morale and lead to a great defeat for the Ming army?
When the news reached Shaanxi and Henan, would the morale of the civil and military officials who had previously fought against Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong also be unstable, leading to a great defeat for the Ming army?

If problems occurred in these two places at the same time, the Ming Dynasty would have been destroyed early.
Zhu Cilang was not sure whether such a thing would happen, and he did not dare to gamble.

So as far as the current situation is concerned, his cheap father cannot die yet!

Even if he died due to some 'uncontrollable' reasons, he couldn't let outsiders know.
British government.

It was already the Chou hour at this time, which according to the time of later generations should be around 2 a.m.

In a study in the Duke of England's mansion, the current Duke of England, Zhang Zhiji, was looking at his son in front of him with a confused look on his face.

Just half an hour ago, he was suddenly pulled out of bed by his own son who wanted to discuss something very important with him.

Only the eldest son dared to do this. If it were any other son, he would have been beaten up by him long ago.

But after listening to Zhang Shize's story, Zhang Zhiji was still confused.

Because he really couldn't imagine, everything was fine before he went to bed, how could the prince suddenly rebel in the middle of the night?
And it’s not like he hasn’t seen the prince before.

He is just a 13-year-old boy. How could he have the capital to rebel?

"Father, what are you thinking about? Don't you understand what I said to you?"

Suddenly at this moment, Zhang Shize's voice sounded again, his face full of anxiety.

Although Zhu Cilang had said before that he would not pursue the issue of the Duke of Ying's Mansion drawing empty salaries, Zhang Shize was still very afraid.

At the same time, Zhang Zhiji finally reacted.

Snapped!
However, the next second, he raised his hand and slapped Zhang Shize, which stunned Zhang Shize.
