Chapter 744

Asked about this, Xu Jianqiang blushed, but he was a little proud.

Xu Jianqiang has reason to be proud. Liu Yuanqiao is a famous strongman in the world. He is extremely powerful. Xu Jianqiang can l green him, the special ox fork.

It can be said that how famous Liu Yuanqiao is, and how much he makes Liu Yuanqiao lose face.

When others asked about it, Xu Jianqiang wouldn't tell the truth. Even when Liu Zeqing asked, he didn't tell the truth. However, since emperor Chongzhen asked so, he thought about it and finally gave it all.

Xu Jianqiang said: "this is because Zhang used to be the daughter of a rich family. She lost all her money because she did business with the Liu family. Her parents died. She had no way to take the Liu family before, but after entering the Liu family, she tried every means to hurt Liu Yuanqiao."

As soon as emperor Chongzhen heard this, it made sense.

Emperor Chongzhen said, "have you planned this?"

Xu Jianqiang said: "Weichen has not been so far sighted. It can only be said that everything has been doomed."

Emperor Chongzhen's face suddenly became gloomy. He said, "with the rise of Liu Yuanqiao, I have lost half of the country. Is it doomed?"

When Xu Jianqiang saw that the emperor was unhappy, he dared not speak. It's really hard to explain.

Isn't the destiny here for the emperor?

The emperor is the son of heaven. He is ordered by heaven and is a God in the world. No one can question the identity of the emperor. Otherwise, he will die. Even if Xu Jianqiang doesn't like flattery, his self positioning is that he is an isolated and capable minister who does practical things, but he doesn't dare to do so.

After several generations of accumulation, the Liu family suddenly broke out. If they don't have great luck, others won't believe it.

Emperor Chongzhen said, "isn't Dongchang good at assassination? Do you have the ability to kill the Liu family and son."

Emperor Chongzhen was desperate, so he would say such words with the respect of the emperor. As an emperor, he paid attention to being aboveboard and upright at any time. It was a very despicable means to instruct assassins to assassinate the enemy like this. He couldn't even look down on himself, but if he could succeed, he wouldn't mind being accused by thousands of people.

Xu Jianqiang said: "it's very difficult. Liu Yuanqiao himself has high martial arts skills. More than a dozen people can't get close to him. There are a large number of guards. Experts are like clouds. It's very difficult to assassinate him. Liu Bu is even more difficult. This boy is very afraid of death. He often stays in the military camp. With the protection of thousands of troops, it's not easy to take him."

In fact, Xu Jianqiang would like to say that this is the strict protection of the Liu family and their sons, far above the emperor Chongzhen. It is much easier to kill the emperor Chongzhen than the Liu family and their sons.

However, Xu Jianqiang dare not say such words. If he has such thoughts and thoughts in his heart, he is guilty of wrongdoing. This is a capital crime. He dare not say so.

Emperor Chongzhen was still a little reluctant. He sighed, "there's no way to deal with the rebellious thieves such as Liu's father and son?"

For the Ming Dynasty, Liu's father and son were Tianda's rebels, which caused great harm to Daming. The best thing is that Tianqian pointed out and died without illness. If they were killed by a drought thunder, the emperor would be happy about it, but he knew that all this was impossible and had to do something.

Xu Jianqiang said, "I'll try my best to find a way. Under the heavy reward, there must be brave men. There are also some heroes with loyalty in the midst of recklessness, and some people will sacrifice their lives to serve Daming."

These people are what emperor Chongzhen expected. He said, "do you know such people? If so, you can bring them to me and I will reward such loyal people."

Xu Jianqiang said, "Weichen is looking for candidates in this field. There are still people who are willing to do it."

Emperor Chongzhen said, "if everyone, like Xu Aiqing, is willing to share my worries, why should I do so."

In the past, when the imperial power was strong, it was stressed that the monarch worried about the humiliation of his officials and humiliated his officials to death. Now, the atmosphere of the Ming court is distorted. Ministers like to pursue a false name, that is, they like to pursue working against the emperor, as if they were working against the emperor. They are virtuous and honest officials, and loyal and righteous officials.

This is the atmosphere developed in the great rites and discussions of the Jiajing Dynasty, which reached its peak in the Wanli period. That is, because of this style, all literary ministers united and United against the imperial power. When they united, even the emperor had to retreat.

These literati and bureaucrats all eat on the basis of articles and morality. They regard their reputation as bigger than heaven. They can lose their life and reputation. It is impossible to expect them to sacrifice their reputation to work for the emperor.

But there is another fatal place. If they are really moral saints like this, the problem is that these people are very mean. They are like saints to others and have no requirements for themselves. The emperor knows that there are such people around him. No wonder he can't do anything.

When Xu Jianqiang saw that the emperor would not mention this, he reported on other aspects of Liu Jiajun. After summarizing the strength of Liu Jiajun, Xu Jianqiang said: "so far, the strength of the Chinese army has exceeded that of Daming. If we can't control the momentum of the enemy, the whole South will be lost, and Daming will be in danger."

Emperor Chongzhen didn't know such a thing. He didn't need Xu Jianqiang to remind him. He also knew that there was such a crisis at present.

If it were not for the critical situation, he would not stick to one style of employment.

Daming is facing unprecedented changes over the past 200 years. If it wants to continue, it must take extraordinary measures to use talents regardless of their style.

So emperor Chongzhen suddenly had an idea. He said, "I also understand that there are many buried talents among the people. I set up a talent recruitment hall to recruit talents from all over the world to serve me."

The idea of emperor Chongzhen was not his original creation, but the Liu family of the Chinese army had already done so, but the Liu family of the Chinese army was a grass-roots team, and they were formal and more appealing.

Xu Jianqiang said, "it's not easy to do this. We must have enough money and power."

Emperor Chongzhen said, "I can give money and power. As long as there are capable people who can work for Daming, I will pay any price."

Xu Jianqiang said, "follow your orders."

After completing the Royal prelude, Xu Jianqiang obtained a new right to supervise the royal guards before leaving the palace.

As an original organization created by the Ming Dynasty, the Royal Guards was frightening when it was founded. Successive commanders of the royal guards were also powerful people in the world. However, in the Chongzhen Dynasty, the royal guards completely became ornaments.

The Emperor didn't believe in the factory guards at all, nor would he give them any rights. After ten years as emperor, he didn't summon the royal guards commander alone. The royal guards commander, the most important minion around the emperor, seemed to turn the royal guards into a distinguished official.

But now Daming is at a very critical juncture. At this critical moment of life and death, Emperor Chongzhen decided to do everything he can and do everything to defend his Daming Dynasty. It's time to use the terrible monster royal guards. No matter what consequences it will bring, he won't care as long as he can keep Daming.

When Xu Jianqiang left the palace, he had a greater responsibility on his shoulders. There was a feeling that Daming's safety was tied to him.

He never thought that an ordinary person, a servant of the Liu family, a person abandoned by Liu Yuanqiao, would one day become a figure in the situation of the Ming Dynasty.

Xu Jianqiang said coldly, "Liu Yuanqiao, you didn't expect me to make someone today? You will pay for everything you have done."

While Xu Jianqiang was thinking maliciously about what method to take to retaliate against the Chinese army, a change suddenly occurred.

This is Xu Jianqiang's guard. Originally, he marched forward bravely in the street, and his followers also marched forward with his signboard and guard of honor.

As the supervisor of the East Hall and the third grade official, he is also qualified to play his guard of honor and open the way with gongs.

This is an embodiment of official authority, which Xu Jianqiang enjoys very much.

But now the change suddenly happened.

This is a large group of big men who suddenly rushed out, raised their guns at them and fired. Dozens of his men fell in an instant.

These big men were very cruel and ruthless. After shooting with fire guns, they threw grenades and blew up Xu Jianqiang's guard.

Their firepower focused on Xu Jianqiang's sedan chair. They saw that Xu Jianqiang's sedan chair was instantly thrown more than a dozen grenades. Within a few feet, people and horses were blown to pieces.

Once these big men succeeded, they immediately withdrew. When they retreated, the talents in the Street reacted and shouted: kill! Kill! " The people on the street are in a mess.

The assassins also threw away their weapons when there was chaos in the street and in the city, and then mixed with the fleeing people and retreated quickly.

Their style showed a professional level. They were extremely cruel and powerful. In a short period of time, they killed half of Xu Jianqiang's guards.

Xu Jianqiang, a well-known strong man in the East Hall, was highly valued by the emperor. He himself knew that he had offended many people. Therefore, he paid great attention to his safety. At least more than 100 guards were deployed, most of whom were outlaws with high martial arts skills. He was hired by him to protect himself.

Xu Jianqiang dares to say that it is not easy for the other party to send thousands of people to win his guard. Who knows, it is so easy for the enemy to break down, let the enemy break through his defense line in an instant, kill their chickens and dogs, and kill more than half of the people in an instant.
