Chapter 665

Dressed as a eunuch, under the leadership of Wang Chengen, Xu Jianqiang walked into the imperial study, kowtowed to the emperor three times and said, "slave Xu Jianqiang, see your majesty, long live! Long live! Long live!"

After Xu Jianqiang came out of the Liu family, he voted for another Liu family, which is the general strategist of Liu Zeqing, who is responsible for managing the things in his family for Liu Zeqing.

Liu Zeqing has nothing else to do. He just likes money and women. He also robbed many women and let others take care of them. He's not at ease. It's different to let Xu Jianqiang come. Although he has a criminal record, he was castrated by God in the end. It's estimated that he can do well.

Who knows that Xu Jianqiang has no other skills. The ability of the goods steward is first-class. He has strong management ability and manages the affairs of Liu's house very well.

In the past, Liu Zeqing didn't know how much money he had, how many women he had, or how many soldiers he had, but after Xu Jianqiang took care of him, he could at least classify and file these things, and know how much money he had, how many women he had, the daily expenses and various expenses of the government were well managed. It's very good for this, Liu Zeqing is very satisfied with him.

He sighed: "yes, it is worthy of being an old slave Youzi cultivated by several generations of the Liu family!"

Xu Jianqiang changed from the Liu family in Linqing to the Liu family in Jinan. Naturally, he wants revenge. His hatred for the Liu family has reached the peak. He can enter the Liu Zeqing family and work for him. The main thing is to find opportunities to speak ill of the Liu family and let Liu Zeqing send troops to attack him. One day, this general with military power will attack the Liu family.

Who knows that things backfired, they could not destroy the Liu family, but let the Liu family destroy them. On the eve of the fall of Jinan, the war was in chaos. Xu Jianqiang saw that the wind was wrong, so he took his old face, Zhang, and took away a number of soft people all night.

He ran fast and didn't fall into the hands of the Liu family. At this time, Xu Jianqiang had a lot of silver in his hands. If he was willing to hide in the countryside, he could live a rich man's life. However, he hated the Liu family so much that he decided to go to Beijing to look for opportunities and revenge.

Therefore, Xu Jianqiang and Zhang's pair of bitter mandarin ducks rented a boat, fled North all night, and arrived in the capital before the Liu family blocked the canal.

After arriving in the capital, Xu Jianqiang found a place to live, and then looked for opportunities.

As a eunuch and eunuch, it is not easy for him to find a job, because only the emperor is qualified to use eunuchs. If others use eunuchs, it is estimated that he will still be charged with a transgressive crime. Therefore, he does not do it. He simply enters the palace and becomes a eunuch. If he can mix Liu Jin or Wei Zhongxian, he will have power, You can also take revenge.

Xu Jianqiang asked himself that he had talent, ability, skill and money. To become another Wei Zhong, Xian estimated that he also had a chance. Only when he became such a big eunuch and dignitary could he avenge this great revenge.

Because of his strong ability, money and bribes, and his exquisite appearance and long sleeves, Xu Jianqiang soon entered the eyes of eunuch Wang Chengen, the head of the rites supervisor.

At this time, he entrusted his identity and origin. After Wang Chengen knew it, he was shocked. It was great that the other party was actually from the Liu family. From Xu Jianqiang, Wang Chengen knew many secret things about the Liu family, which were unknown to the imperial court before, and helped them solve many things.

The Liu family is rebellious and the Tianzi No. 1 anti thief, but they rise too fast. The imperial court knows very little about them. Xu Jianqiang knows more than East Hall and royal guards and provides a lot of useful information.

So at the critical moment, he recommended Xu Jianqiang to Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen was very surprised when he heard the other party's intention. He said, "why did you come to take refuge in the imperial court?"

Xu Jianqiang said ruthlessly, "Liu's father and son are mean and ungrateful. They treat people like pigs and dogs. They even commit disturbances and seek to usurp the throne. Slaves and maidservants are not talented, but they know what loyalty and shame are. How can they be with people who are inferior to pigs and dogs..."

Wang Chengen knew that the emperor managed everything every day. If they talked about these bad things, it would be a waste of time, so he prompted from the side. He said, "this Xu Jianqiang, he has a way to solve the immediate crisis."

This made the emperor a little impressed. He said, "you are a eunuch. How can you solve this military event?"

Xu Jianqiang said: "Daming's current problem, in the final analysis, is actually the problem of lack of money. As long as the problem of money is solved, other things can be easily solved..."

Emperor Chongzhen said to him, "what good plan do you have?"

Xu Jianqiang said to him, "it's not that the slave has any good plan, but that the slave inadvertently thinks of a way by listening to what Liu Bu said?"

Liu Yuanqiao and Liu Bu's father and son are the biggest enemies of the imperial court and their respected opponents. Since they came from each other's strategies, this is naturally good. Emperor Chongzhen hurriedly asked, "what do you say?"

Xu Jianqiang said to him, "when I worked in Liu's house, I often heard Liu's father and son say that today's holy emperor is too honest. It's like begging for food with a golden rice bowl..."

Wang Chengen suddenly changed color and said loudly, "bold!"

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen was very unhappy, but he also seemed to point out the current problems of the Ming Dynasty. He said, "how do you say this? Tell it carefully?"

Zhou yanru has been in the cabinet since he became the first assistant. He often doesn't even go home. The main thing is to solve the immediate problem. The biggest problem now is the lack of food and sound. The Ming Dynasty can still be maintained. Thanks to these hundreds of thousands of troops, these troops are still loyal to the imperial court, but their loyalty is limited, If the imperial court could not provide them with enough food, they would no longer work hard.

Zhou yanru knew that if he didn't give enough food to soldiers, these people would no longer work for the imperial court.

The current imperial court is in a critical state, especially in the military, and is at a comprehensive disadvantage.

It has some advantages in dealing with the roving bandits and the rebels such as She'an, but they let JianNu press them and let the Liu family press on the ground for repeated friction.

Such a situation made him understand that the military reform of the Ming Dynasty was imperative.

Now, the imperial court has more troops than the Liu family, but it makes the Liu family flourish and run amok.

In the Ming Dynasty, the army's current quality and equipment are not good. This is the main key, and he also knows that the main problem in improving the army's quality is to fundamentally solve it. This is the problem of food impact.

Considering this, Zhou yanru could not help feeling discouraged: "after all, it's still a matter of money and food." all these problems, as a clean flow official, imperial officials have always despised this problem. If he dealt with this problem himself in the past, it would make others laugh and think that he has changed from clean flow to turbid flow.

Now he has become an official again and become the boss of officials in the Ming Dynasty. He has to do these problems, whether he does or not. All the problems are on him. If he does this well, he will naturally shine. If he does not do it well, it is estimated that the emperor will not give him face.

In the past, if you were the first assistant, no matter how many problems you have, you can hide the past and let the emperor not know.

But today's emperors are hard to hide and deceive. The emperor likes big and small things and takes care of all bad things.

More importantly, what is happening now is a major event, a major event that the sky is about to fall and the earth is about to fall. Whoever dares to hide it is the great crime of killing the nine ethnic groups.

Dare you hide from the emperor the Liu rebellion, the siege of Nanjing, the Zheng rebellion and the capture of Quanzhou? If you dare to hide it, it's probably a dead end.

If you don't hide it, you have to truthfully report to the emperor. When you truthfully report to the emperor, he will ask you what to do and leave it to you to deal with.

The situation in Daming was already in a mess. Now it happened to the Zheng family again, which made them more embarrassed and more confused.

The exact news of the Zheng family also came. They were angry. Their news confirmed that Zheng Fenglong wanted to be loyal to the court and look after the court. He was also willing to fight Liu thieves for the court. However, the price offered by the court could not impress him.

This damned Zheng Zhilong used this as an excuse to drag on and on, hoping that the imperial court could offer a better price. As a result, he dragged on, and something happened. Unexpectedly, he let Zheng Gongbao, an anti thief within Zheng, rebel against him, drive him out of office and seize his rights, which made things completely out of control.

If the Zheng family and the Liu family can't pee in the same pot in the past, the whole court can see that although the Zheng family and the Liu family are in laws, their interests will make them unable to stand together and sit together, but the new leader Zheng Zhibao is different. Zheng Zhibao has only one daughter, Liu Bu is his half son, and all his treasures are bet on Liu Bu and the Liu family, He can no longer obey the orders of the imperial court.

Moreover, Zheng Zhibao rebelled against the imperial court in order to seize all this power from the imperial court.

Hearing and seeing these war reports, Zhou yanru was really angry and vomited blood. If the imperial court could get a good price earlier, Zheng Zhilong would have gone to attack the Liu family. This huge army went to attack the Liu family. It would not be easy for the Liu family to kill him and attack him secretly.

And Zheng Zhilong, who is so merciful to you, the imperial court has granted you an earl. Just go to war well. If you want to make any mood and want more, now it's good. There's nothing but a defeat and death.

Seeing this, Zhou Tingru scolded angrily: "it's all a group of garbage, it's all a group of garbage!" at this time, he heard a shocking news from the palace.
