Chapter 747

Outside the Zhongji hall, Wang Chengen taught Nie Chengyu and others the etiquette of facing saints.

You should know that the emperor is the supreme existence. It is a crime to be impolite in front of the emperor. You can decapitate at any time.

Of course, this is only binding on ordinary people. For these scholar bureaucrats and officials, there is no problem in this regard.

However, for Nie Chengyu, a lucky man who has made great progress and leapt to the dragon's gate, it is binding in this regard.

The other party's style also made him feel that this meeting was very sacred.

After waiting for about half an hour, they were summoned, and Xu Jianqiang led the Nie family and their son to the audience.

After seeing this group of people, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed their heads three times, which is the ceremony of three kneeling and nine kowtowing.

After Xu Jianqiang and others finished the three kneeling and nine kowtowing ceremony, he said loudly: "the emperor ordered Weichen to recruit talents. Today he lived up to his expectations and brought five heroes." after that, he introduced five people respectively.

The emperor stood high and proudly accepted these people's kneeling. After Xu Jianqiang introduced the names of the five people, the emperor nodded and said, "you guys, but are you willing to work for the imperial court?"

The Xu family father and son pressed their inner excitement and said in a trembling voice, "the grass people are willing! The grass people are willing."

Emperor Chongzhen said, "the wind knows the strong grass, and the board sees the loyal officials. I am very pleased that you are willing to work for the imperial court at this time. The purpose is to grant Nie Chengyu as the caretaker of the north town of the royal guards and the caretaker of the town. His four sons are awarded the posts of thousands of royal guards respectively. They listen to the order around Xu Jianqiang, the governor of the East Hall and admire it."

Since Nie Chengyu and his son knew that they were going to meet the emperor, they were excited, and their whole bodies were excited, because they knew that the wealth of the Nie family was stable. It has been said since ancient times that the Emperor didn't need hungry soldiers, which means that the emperor wouldn't be light if he shot. Sure enough, the emperor personally granted them official positions, one of which was a senior official they couldn't imagine.

Last night, the Nie family had a discussion with their father and son at night. They were thinking that after meeting the eunuch in the palace, they would give a gift to manage. They could not help mixing the official positions of one hundred families. Even if they could not mix with one hundred families of royal guards, they would at least mix with one general flag, and the future scenery would be infinite.

Who knows that they met the emperor and directly loyal to the emperor, and the emperor also granted them a great official position, which they dare not think of.

Nie Chengyu wanted to be an official, so the other party sealed a top official to him, and he had real power in his hand, and there was no participation in fraud.

Nie Chengyu was so excited that he almost cried. Nie Chengyu said loudly, "the emperor's grace is vast! The grass people can only repay their death."

Xu Jianqiang hinted at him and said, "Lord NIE is already the commander of the fourth grade royal guards hall. In the future, he should call himself a micro minister, not a grass-roots citizen."

Nie Chengyu burst into tears and couldn't help himself.

The emperor actually despised these small roles. Emperor Chongzhen was born in the royal family and received top-level teaching in the imperial palace when he was young. His vision was extremely high, overlooking the world and looking at all living beings. In his eyes, only scholar bureaucrats are regarded as characters, and others are not enough. But today, scholar bureaucrats can not be relied on, and he relies on Xu Jianqiang.

Since Xu Jianqiang strongly recommended the Nie family and his son, and also said that he would recommend them in front of him, and the emperor would be appointed an official himself, it was out of grace. Emperor Chongzhen decided to follow his orders and do as he wished.

At least one thing can prove that Xu Jianqiang has no selfishness and does not take the opportunity to form a party for personal gain.

As the emperor, what he most taboo and feared was that his ministers formed a party for personal gain. If all ministers and senior officials were considered to form a party, they would be alienated or expelled from the court. Qian Qianyi was hated by the emperor because he was suspected of forming a party.

For Xu Jianqiang, Emperor Chongzhen still trusted him very much. At least Xu Jianqiang repaid his trust with his achievements.

He also heard yesterday that Xu Jianqiang almost died.

This made the emperor realize that Xu Jianqiang was very important. Looking at so many capable people and ministers in the imperial court, why did the Chinese thieves assassinate Xu Jianqiang instead of assassinating them? This is because Xu Jianqiang posed the greatest threat to them.

With this idea, Emperor Chongzhen increased his support for Xu Jianqiang. He wanted to bring the gangs and local ruffians into the government. After hesitating, the emperor agreed.

If it had been in the past, he would not have agreed to such a practice. This is tantamount to lowering the level of the government, making others think that the government is full of local ruffians and hooligans, which will lower the government to the level of Chinese thieves.

Some businessmen or craftsmen are also officials of Chinese thieves. He's good enough to directly bring in these local ruffians, hooligans and other Dalits. What's this like? If it had been before, these clean ministers would have to scold them to death.

But now the danger of Daming is extreme. Half of the country has been lost, and the destruction is at hand. Emperor Chongzhen can't care so much. In his words, as long as he can keep the country of Daming, he is willing to let him die. He is willing to even die. What harm is it to let these local ruffians and hooligans enter the house?

Of course, with the respect of emperor Chongzhen, it was impossible for him to talk to these people. After the reward, he ordered them to retire.

Emperor Chongzhen's idea is very simple, that is, I give you rights and status, and you return loyalty.

Xu Jianqiang led Nie Chengyu and others, left the Zhongji hall, left the palace and went straight to the governor's office of the five armies in the imperial city.

The governor's office of the five armies is the headquarters of the royal guards, and the north town government department and headquarters of the royal guards are located here.

Of course, they came with the imperial edict. All royal guards officials were waiting in the yard.

When all the officials of the royal guards gathered to listen to the holy will, they were almost stunned when they heard the will.

The royal guards North Town envoy Liu xiangforget died of illness and vacated this position. Everyone stared. Even the royal guards commander Luo Yangxing was no exception. He hoped to let his confidants sit in the most powerful position in the royal guards. Only his confidants in charge of the north town government department can command this department perfectly.

Many people are staring at this position and are moving. They can be called Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magic powers.

Luo Yangxing had nominated him, and then waited for the emperor's reply. Who knows that the Emperor didn't pay attention to his nomination at all, and directly appointed an unworthy Dalit and a person who was not in the royal guards sequence, which made him both very surprised and very angry.

When the edict was read out, he found that there was no cabinet affidavit on it. He said angrily, "this is a central Edict and a disorderly life. Please forgive me that we can't accept the edict."

Luo Yangxing said he didn't accept the purpose, and others said they didn't accept the purpose one after another.

After all, the royal guards are the emperor's Pro army and the Department directly in charge of the emperor. The emperor has the right to directly appoint any official of the royal guards without passing through the cabinet, because they are the emperor's Pro army and private army.

If the emperor appoints anyone to this position, even if they are promoted beyond the rank, they will not object, and they dare not object. Opposition is a dead end. However, the emperor has appointed an unworthy local ruffian leader as the most powerful North Town envoy in the royal guards, which makes the whole royal guards house very angry, Very dissatisfied and aroused public anger.

No one turns his arm outward like this, which is totally disrespectful to all officials in the royal guards.

Seeing so many people's agreement and support, Luo Yangxing also had confidence, straightened his chest and refused to accept the purpose.

Luo Yangxing has been a commander for ten years and has planted a large number of confidants. Most of the royal guards are his disciples, disciples and grandchildren. He made an objection and everyone responded one after another. This is prestige.

Xu Jianqiang said, "Your Majesty, I just told you that this personnel appointment does not require your consent."

Luo Yangxing said angrily, "this is a mess of life. Why should I be embarrassed?"

Xu Jianqiang was not angry either. If someone dared to resist the emperor's order, he would be furious and scold him loudly.

Xu Jianqiang said, "unexpectedly, you still have the courage to resist and refuse the imperial edict. Are you impatient?"

Luo Yangxing said angrily, "the royal guards are not in the charge of your East Hall, and don't be responsible to you. Why do you keep suppressing the royal guards? If the emperor thinks that Luo is incompetent to lead the royal guards, he will hand over the order and everyone will quit."

A common move of the Ming Dynasty officials is that the emperor said a few words to him. He took the opportunity to quit and threatened him with resignation.

Sure enough, Luo Yangxing said that he threatened to resign, and the officials around him echoed one after another. Only Luo Yangxing could have such a scene.

Xu Jianqiang said sadly, "gentlemen, you think clearly. If you want to quit, you can accept your resignation on behalf of the emperor and leave immediately. These days, three legged toads are hard to find and two legged people are everywhere. If you don't want to do it, take off your official clothes and leave immediately."

Xu Jianqiang said this sentence, which is equivalent to ruthlessly tearing off their faces, so that they can't hang on their faces.

Moreover, they are not scholar bureaucrats. The scholar bureaucrat civil service groups use this trick to threaten. It is also useful. They are all honourable officials. They are dispensable, that is, they receive a salary. If they don't do it, they can save a salary.

When Xu Jianqiang openly made cruel remarks, they dared not do it against him.

Luo Yangxing was publicly run by Xu Jianqiang. He was ashamed and difficult to get into the scabbard. Pointing to Xu Jianqiang, he said, "how can you convince everyone that you bully your colleagues?"

Xu Jianqiang said: "I convinced everyone. I did something that satisfied the emperor and the imperial court with my true skills. It was commander Luo. What have you achieved in your ten years as commander? What have you done? The royal guards have become decorations in your hands. Don't you feel ashamed? If I were you, I would have died long ago. I dare not stay here and occupy the pit and don't shit."
