Xu Jianqiang, wearing the eunuch's clothes, walked into the imperial study under the leadership of Wang Chengen, kowtowed three times to the emperor, and said, "I, Xu Jianqiang, come to see His Majesty the Emperor, long live! Long live! Long live!"

After Xu Jianqiang rebelled against the Liu family, he joined another Liu family, which was Liu Zeqing's general soldier, responsible for managing the things in the family for Liu Zeqing.

Liu Zeqing had nothing to do. He even liked money and women, and robbed many women and asked others to take care of them. He was worried. It was different for Xu Jianqiang to come. Although he had a criminal record, he was castrated by God in the end. He probably could do his best.

Who knew that Xu Jianqiang had no other skills? This guy's ability is first-class. He has strong management skills and manages the affairs of the Liu family 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. However, after Xu Jianqiang took care of him, he could at least classify and file these things, know how much money he had, how many women he had, and the daily expenses and various expenses in the mansion were managed well. It was very good. Liu Zeqing was very satisfied with this.

He was sighing: "Yes, it's worthy of being an old slave and aged trained by generations of the Liu family!"

Xu Jianqiang changed from the Liu family in Linqing to the Liu family in Jinan, so he naturally wanted to take revenge. His hatred for the Liu family reached its peak. He was able to enter Liu Zeqing's family and serve him. The main thing is to find opportunities to say bad things about the Liu family and ask Liu Zeqing to send troops to attack him. One day, this general with military power will attack the Liu family.

Who knew that things went against their wishes. They could not destroy the Liu family, but instead asked the Liu family to destroy them. On the eve of the fall of Jinan, there were wars and chaos. Xu Jianqiang saw that the wind was wrong, so he took his old lover Zhang and swept away a group of soft-hearted people and left overnight.

He ran fast and did not fall into the hands of the Liu family. At this time, Xu Jianqiang had a lot of money in his hands. If he was willing to hide in the countryside, he could live a life as a rich man. However, he hated the Liu family so much that he decided to go to Beijing to find opportunities and must avenge this great revenge.

So Xu Jianqiang and Zhang, the miserable mandarin duck, rented a boat, fled north overnight, 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, it was not easy for him to find a job as a eunuch, because only the emperor was qualified to use eunuchs. If others use it, they would probably still be charged with a transcendent crime. So he did not do it, but he simply entered the palace and became a eunuch. If he could become Liu Jin or Wei Zhongxian, he would have great power and could also avenge him.

Xu Jianqiang asked himself that he had talent, ability, skills, and money. If he wanted to become another Wei Zhong, Xian probably had a chance. Only when he became such a eunuch and a powerful man could he avenge this great revenge.

Because Xu Jianqiang was very capable and had money to bribe, and he was versatile and good at dancing, he soon entered the eyes of the eunuch of the Silijian leader Wang Chengen.

At this time, he revealed his identity and origin. When Wang Chengen found out, he was shocked. The other party was actually from the Liu family, which was great. From Xu Jianqiang, Wang Chengen knew a lot of secret matters about the Liu family. These things were not known to the court before, and helped them solve a lot of things.

The Liu family rebelled and was a rebel number one in Tianzi, but they rose too quickly, and the court knew very little about them. Xu Jianqiang knew more than Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and provided a lot of useful information.

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

After hearing about the other party’s purpose, Emperor Chongzhen was also very amazed. He said, “Why did you come to surrender to the court?”

Xu Jianqiang said fiercely: "The father and son of Liu are mean and have little kindness, treat people like pigs and dogs, and they even commit rebellion against the emperor and usurp the throne. The slaves are not talented, but they know what loyalty and righteousness are and what shame are. How can they be with such people who are inferior to those who are inferior to those of pigs and dogs..."

Wang Chengen knew that the emperor had a lot of trouble every day, and if they had to do these bad things, they would waste time. So he reminded him from the side, and he said, "This Xu Jianqiang, he has a way to solve the crisis in front of him."

This made the emperor look at him with admiration. He said, "You are a eunuch, how can you solve this military and national affairs?"

Xu Jianqiang said: "The current problem in the Ming Dynasty is actually a problem of lack of money. As long as the problem of money is solved, other things can be solved..."

Emperor Chongzhen said, "What are your good plans?"

Xu Jianqiang said, "It's not that the slave has any good plans, but that the slave accidentally came up with a solution after hearing what Liu Bu said?"

Liu Yuanqiao, Liu Bu and his son, are the biggest enemies of the court today and their worthy opponents. Since it comes from the other party's plan, this is naturally good. Emperor Chongzhen hurriedly asked: "What do you think is the solution?"

Xu Jianqiang said, "When I was working in the Liu Mansion, I often heard Liu's father and son here, saying that the current emperor was too honest, just begging for food with a golden rice bowl..."

Wang Chengen suddenly changed color and shouted: "Bold!"

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen was very unhappy, but he seemed to point out the current problems of the Ming Dynasty. He said, "How do you say this? Let me tell you carefully?"

After Zhou Yanru became the chief minister, he stayed in the cabinet and often did not even go back home. The main purpose was to solve the current problem. The biggest problem now is the shortage of food and noise. The Ming Dynasty can still maintain it. It is thanks to these hundreds of thousands of troops. These troops are still loyal to the court, but their loyalty is limited. If the court cannot provide them with enough food and noise, they will no longer work hard.

Zhou Yanru knew that if he was a soldier and had not given enough food, these people would no longer work for the court.

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

It also had some advantages in dealing with bandits and rebels such as She'an, but they asked Jiannu to fight, which made the Liu family press on the ground and repeatedly rubbed against each other.

This situation made him understand that the Ming Dynasty's military reform was imperative.

Now, the imperial court has more troops than the Liu family, but it has made the Liu family show their power and run rampant.

The current quality and equipment of the Ming Dynasty army were not good, which was the main key, and he also understood that the main problem in improving the quality of the army was to fundamentally solve it, which was the problem of food.

After considering this, Zhou Yanru couldn't help but feel discouraged: "After all the time, it's still a matter of money and food." As a clean stream official, Hanlin officials have always despised this issue. If he had dealt with this issue himself in the past, he would make others laugh at it and think that he had changed from a clean stream to a turbid stream.

Now he has become an official again and becomes the boss of the Ming officials. He has to do these problems, and even if he doesn't do them, all the problems are on him. If he does this well, he will naturally be outstanding. If he doesn't do it well, he will probably not give him face.

If it were the past, if you were the prime minister, no matter how many problems arise, you could hide them and make the emperor unaware of them.

But today's emperors are not easy to hide or fool. This emperor likes to deal with big and small things and care about all bad things.

More importantly, what is happening now is all major events, and all major events that are about to fall when the sky falls and the ground is about to fall. Whoever dares to hide it will be the major crime of killing the nine clans.

Do you dare to conceal these major events from the emperor that the Liu family rebelled, besieged Nanjing City, the Zheng family rebelled, and captured Quanzhou? If you dare to conceal it, you will probably be dead.

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

The situation in the Ming Dynasty was already in a state of turmoil, but now this incident happened to the Zheng family, which made them even more embarrassed and even more incompetent.

The exact news from the Zheng family also came, and they were angry. Their news confirmed that at the beginning, Zheng Fenglong wanted to be loyal to the court, optimistic about the court, and was willing to fight Liu Zhe for the court, but the price offered by the court could not impress him.

Zheng Zhilong, who was killed this day, used this as an excuse to drag him down and continue to drag him back, hoping that the court could offer a better price. As a result, something happened, and he actually asked him to rebel Zheng Gongbao, the rebel within the Zheng family, to rebel him off the stage, and seize his power, which completely lost control.

If the Zheng family and Liu family were unable to pee in the same pot before, the entire court could see clearly that although the Zheng family and the Liu family were in-laws, the interests would make them unable to stand together or sit together. However, the new leader Zheng Zhibao was different. Zheng Zhibao only had one daughter, and Liu Bu was half of his son. All his treasures were bet on Liu Bu and Liu family, and he could not obey the orders of the court again.

Moreover, Zheng Zhibao rebelled just to fight against the court and to seize all this power from the court.

After hearing these war reports, Zhou Yanru was so angry that he vomited blood. If the court could take down a good price as soon as possible, Zheng Zhilong would have taken action to attack the Liu family long ago. This huge army would attack the Liu family. If the Liu family wanted to destroy him, it would not be easy for him to attack him.

There is also Zheng Zhilong who was killed this day. The court has given you such grace to you. You have already been awarded an earl. Just go to war well. You have to have more emotions and want more. As a result, now it is better, nothing, and you can only end up in defeat and death.
