Following these two voices, Chongzhen was immediately stunned.

What did he hear?

Are his officials rich?

“No, this is absolutely impossible. Even if my father-in-law has no money, how can those ministers have money?”

Chongzhen did organize several fundraisers, but the amount of money collected was appalling.

It’s just a drop in the bucket, and it’s not enough to fill the huge hole in the national treasury!

This also made Chongzhen extremely desperate.

But now Tianmu says that these ministers are rich, and if Zhu Yuanzhang were to sit in his position, the results would be different.

This made Chongzhen realize something was wrong.

Although Chongzhen was incompetent, he liked to change auxiliary ministers, was suspicious by nature, and was headstrong, but this did not mean that he was a fool.

He immediately realized the implication of Tianmu’s words.

It seems that his group of ministers are very rich.

And it’s not just ordinary money!

Immediately, his eyes glanced at the sky with suspicion.

at the same time.

The sound of the sky curtain continued to sound.

[If Zhu Yuanzhang were sitting in Chongzhen’s position, when the Ming Dynasty was on the verge of destruction, but these traitorous ministers were still searching for and hiding money, Lao Zhu would definitely wield the butcher’s knife! 】

[He is not as naive as Chongzhen. 】

[Li Zicheng broke into the capital and plundered tens of millions of silver from the houses of these Ming officials. As a result, Chongzhen went to court twice to solicit donations. After begging these officials for a long time, he only got 200,000 taels of silver. How ironic is this? 】

[As a result, only a naive king like Chongzhen would believe that if Lao Zhu faced this situation, he would definitely be able to plunder a lot of silver! 】

As soon as these words came out.

Chongzhen suddenly stood up straight, and even the rope he was hanging on fell to the ground. He had a look of disbelief on his face.

“How many?”

“After Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he obtained 70 million taels of silver through burning, killing and looting?”

Chongzhen’s face was full of disbelief!

Not long ago, he asked these ministers in court to donate some money to serve as a military feast.

As a result, I begged all morning and talked nicely for a long time, but in the end I only got two hundred thousand taels of silver.

This is a fact!

He really thought it was the officials of the Ming Dynasty who had no money.

But according to what Tianmu said, after the rebel Li Zicheng entered the capital, he burned, killed, looted, and made 70 million taels of silver!

“No, that’s not true!”

“This is absolutely not true!”

“The Ming Dynasty is about to perish, and the rebels are about to attack the capital. If they have so much money, why don’t they help me repel the rebels!”

“Otherwise, when the rebels enter the capital, what awaits them will be hell! And my father-in-law didn’t even donate much!”

“As the head of the state, if he had money, why wouldn’t he take the lead in donating it?”

“Tian Mu’s statement must be false!”

Chongzhen couldn’t believe it, so he spoke.

But at this time, bullet screens popped up mercilessly.

“Actually, if you think about it, Chongzhen is quite pitiful. In the late Ming Dynasty, civil servants had long lost their integrity. This donation of money is really a mockery!”

“Yes, Li Zicheng ransacked all their homes and exterminated their clans, and only then found more than 70 million taels of silver. As a result, Chongzhen begged these officials for a long time to raise more than 200,000 taels of silver!”

“I really can’t understand what kind of virtue it is to challenge the king. Don’t these officials know it? Once he is allowed to enter the capital, how can this be good? But when he donated money, each one was deducted one by one!”

“What this means is that in their eyes, the Ming Dynasty belongs to the old Zhu family. Does its demise have anything to do with them?”

“Li Zicheng killed 70 million taels of silver, and Chongzhen asked for 200,000 taels of silver. It’s really ironic to say that!”

“The funniest thing is Chongzhen’s father-in-law. Zhou Kui and Chongzhen cried for poverty and donated 13,000 taels, and then Li Zicheng ransacked his house and confiscated more than 500,000 taels!”

“Yes, even Chongzhen’s own father-in-law Zhou Kui is like this, let alone these ministers!”

“His father-in-law is really the best of the best. I’m convinced. His daughter, Queen Zhou, felt that Zhou Kui’s donation was too little and wanted him to take the lead. She even gave Zhou Kui 5,000 taels of her private money. Kui, Zhou Kui thought it was too much, so he only gave Chongzhen three thousand taels!”

“666!”

“In the late Ming Dynasty, Lao Zhu really came, and even Zhou Kui was like this. It is enough to see that this is rotten to the core. If you don’t lift the butcher’s knife, how can you make money?”

Under these barrages, Chongzhen was stunned.

“What?”

He couldn’t help but sit up straight, his eyes full of shock!

“My father-in-law donated 12,000 taels to me, but after Li Zicheng came to Beijing, he ransacked his house and confiscated more than 500,000 taels?”

“And the queen took five thousand taels of personal money, and he took two thousand taels of kickbacks?”

Chongzhen’s eyes were about to burst, and he was filled with endless anger.Roaring in his chest!

Until now, Li Zicheng was about to enter the capital.

He also believed that his ministers really had no money.

Result, boy!

Out of more than 70 million taels, I only donated 200,000 taels to myself!

My father-in-law even complained that he was poor, and in the end he even received a kickback from the Queen!

At this moment, Chongzhen really wanted to kill all these ministers!

These bastards are so deceptive!

But what followed was a deep feeling of powerlessness. He stood under the coal mountain and looked at the capital.

At this moment, Li Zicheng had already arrived at the city.

It won’t be long before Li Zicheng steps into the capital and the Ming Dynasty is declared to be destroyed!

It’s too late for him to know now!

“I, I really failed!”

Chongzhen punched the ground, blood oozing from his fist.

Now he only has Wang Chengen by his side, how can he kill these traitorous officials?

He looked towards the sky with red eyes and chapped lips.

“If, if Taizu really comes, that would be great!”

“Taizu conquered the Ming Dynasty with a broken bowl. Now, he will definitely be able to make a comeback again!”

Chongzhen’s eyes showed longing.

But then, his eyes dimmed again.

“But across time and space, how is this possible!”

“…”
