Chapter 130 Follow me and you will have meat to eat Emperor Jiajing saw Sun Chonglou trying to raise his head several times but lowered it again, so he smiled and said, "Sun Chonglou? Raise your head." Sun Chonglou looked up and saw that Emperor Jiajing had a thin face and some immortal-like aura, so he blurted out, "Master, His Majesty looks like an immortal." There was immediately a look of satisfaction in the Taoist's eyes. What the hell! Jiang Qingzhi felt that this kid was really a lucky guy. It accidentally hit the sore spot of Emperor Jiajing. Emperor Jiajing asked a few questions with a smile, and Sun Chonglou answered very straightforwardly. "I'm afraid your young master will have a lot of trouble in the future. Are you prepared?" asked Emperor Jiajing. "This is a good thing!" Sun Chonglou said foolishly.
"Good news?" Emperor Jiajing felt that the kid was probably so happy to see him that he became silly, and his mood became more and more joyful. "Why?" After asking, the Taoist found that Jiang Qingzhi was covering his face. "I can kill a lot of people." The young guard raised his head and said, "I like killing people. The young master said that I will definitely become a demon in this life." He killed so many people that he became a demon... Only then did Emperor Jiajing understand why Jiang Qingzhi covered his face. "Why do you like killing people?" "Back when I was in Suzhou, the Ye family's people often bullied the young master. At that time, I swore that if I could do it in the future, I would kill all the Ye family members..." Such a murderous aura... Huang Jin looked sideways. "I didn't succeed in the end." The young guard scratched his head, "But the idea of killing all the Ye family members has always been in my mind. Unconsciously, I just... like killing people." "If you cannot get what you want, it becomes an obsession," said Emperor Jiajing. Huang Jin felt that Emperor Jiajing would scold Sun Chonglou for Jiang Qingzhi's sake. "Then kill him!" The Taoist's words made Sun Chonglou happy. "Your Majesty is a good man." Jiang Qingzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Emperor Jiajing smiled, and then said: "Qingzhi, those people have endless tricks, you have to be careful here. If..." The Taoist narrowed his eyes and said, "Give you some of the palace guards..." do not! Jiang Qingzhi was about to refuse, but Emperor Jiajing said, "Forget it. The guards in the palace all have backgrounds. I'm worried that they won't be dedicated if you ask them to work for you. Huang Jin." "His Majesty." "I remember that a lot of guards were eliminated at that time, let those people come."
…… "My mother said that my uncle was the most honest and straightforward person back then, and he only recognized her. When he heard that my mother was leaving, my uncle held her legs tightly until the family members coaxed him and said that my mother was going out to buy something..." Inside the palace, Emperor Jiajing spoke softly about these past events. Jiang Qingzhi sat on the mat, leaning forward, resting his chin on one hand, listening intently. "Later, someone came to our house and mentioned that my uncle had been sad for a long time after my mother left. My mother was very sad about this and said that if it was not inconvenient, she should take my uncle with her when she got married..." This kind of friendship is rare. Huang Jin came in, "Your Majesty, those people are here." Emperor Jiajing said, "Go ahead! Pick some people to be around you." Jiang Qingzhi followed Huang Jin to an open space in Xiyuan. Dozens of men were waiting. After seeing Huang Jin, the group of people rushed to salute him. "I have met Eunuch Huang." "Eunuch Huang looks more energetic." "Eunuch Huang, I have some excellent medicinal wine. I heard that Eunuch Huang injured his bones by standing for a long time. I only need to apply this medicinal wine for half a month to completely cure the problem..." Jiang Qingzhi frowned and looked at the group of people. Too utilitarian. Easy to be bribed. But there was a man squatting nearby, holding something in his hand... dry grass. A grasshopper was quickly taking shape in his hand. The man was thin and not very tall. When Jiang Qingzhi walked up to him, he slowly raised his head and grinned. One of his yellow teeth was missing. "Master, I'm almost..." After saying that, he lowered his head and continued to weave grasshoppers. "Good craftsmanship." Jiang Qingzhi squatted down. "I rely on this to supplement my family income." The man spoke while his hands never stopped. Soon, the grasshopper was made. "How powerful!" Sun Chonglou's eyes lit up. "Why don't you go and please Huang Jin?" Jiang Qingzhi asked. The man said, "I have no background, so I can't give you any benefits. Who would work for you without benefits these days? Don't you agree? Is it just based on a few nice words? If so, I can talk for three days and three nights, but it's useless." Jiang Qingzhi nodded, "Then you haven't thought about making progress?" This group of people don’t even know the purpose of their coming to Xiyuan!
The man chuckled, "People say that small wealth depends on hard work, and great wealth depends on fate. Before selecting the guards, I had my fortune told by the God of Fortune Tan in West City, and it cost me twenty coins!" Tan Shenxiang said that I would be a mediocre person in my life. As expected, I was not selected. Later, the Ministry of War also refused to accept me. I was just a small-time official, but the monthly salary was not enough to support myself..." "Chang Wei Bur!" Huang Jin was ready. Jiang Qingzhi patted the man on the shoulder and said, "But I think that the fortune teller Tan is not accurate." "Hey! Tan Shenxiang is so accurate in his judgment!" The man was originally sitting cross-legged on the ground. He stood up easily without exerting any force on his feet. "I am Sun Bu Tong, nice to meet you, Master." Jiang Qingzhi walked over, and Huang Jin said, "These guards are all good. They were not selected for various reasons. However, His Majesty had good intentions when he asked Chang Wei Bo to choose from these people..." He looked at Jiang Qingzhi, wanting to see if this man could see the intention behind Emperor Jiajing's decision. "I chose them, and the favor came from me. Your Majesty is very kind." If the Taoist is good to someone, he is truly caring and considerate. There was a gleam in Huang Jin's eyes, and he thought that if this man was involved in government affairs, he would probably not be a bad person. Huang Jin said loudly: "His Majesty asked you to come here and let Chang Wei Bo select some people from among you to follow Chang Wei Bo. This matter requires both parties to be willing..." After hearing this, more than ten people did not move, and the others retreated. Tsk! Huang Jin whispered, "It seems that Chang Wei Bo is quite famous outside!" Those who withdrew were smart people who knew it was dangerous to follow Jiang Qingzhi. "I can't see any benefits, only disadvantages. As the saying goes, if a man doesn't work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth." Jiang Qingzhi said slowly, "However, if these people want to come back from now on, I will not accept them." Those who withdrew were silent. Someone grumbled, "Zhao Wenhua has been made extremely miserable by this Lord, and from now on, the Yan Party will definitely fight him to the death. The Yan Party is powerful, and we definitely can't take any risks." "That's fine, after all, a forced melon is not sweet." Jiang Qingzhi looked at the remaining dozen people, most of whom had a look of anticipation on their faces. However, these people were wearing old clothes, and some even looked pale and skinny. How does this look like a recruitment site? Jiang Qingzhi thought of the Sanhe masters and the day labor. Jiang Qingzhi was just a small boss, and he quoted a price for a piece of clothing. The masters saw it and thought the process was complicated and the money was not much, so they didn't want to work for him. The dozen or so people who were left had spent all their savings, and if they didn't take on more work, they would have trouble making ends meet. So I have to go ahead with it despite my difficulties. Jiang Qingzhi was surprised to find that Sun Bu Tong had not left. "Are you all willing to follow me?" Jiang Qingzhi asked. "Yes." "That is." Jiang Qingzhi said, "Sun is different." "Uncle." Sun Bu Tong was still holding a half-woven straw horse in his hand. "From today on, you are their leader." Sun Bu Tong was stunned. "Me?"
"Why, you can't do it?" Jiang Qingzhi asked. "Great! Great!" Sun Bu Tong was so happy that his yellow teeth cracked. He thought, could it be that Tan Shenxiang really made a mistake? "I'll leave it to you to decide what to do next." Jiang Qingzhi took the opportunity to give Sun Bu Tong an assessment. Turning back, he bowed to Huang Jin and said, "Tell His Majesty to select one more of these ten people. I want the rest." "I know." Huang Jin nodded and left. "Everyone assemble!" In Sun Bu Tong's hoarse voice, the eunuch beside Huang Jin said: "It is rare to let the ministers choose their guards. It shows that this Lord Chang Wei is deeply favored by the emperor." "Little monkey, are you trying to provoke me?" Huang Jin glanced at the eunuch, who stepped forward and said with a smile, "Your Majesty trusts Chang Wei Bo, and Eunuch Huang, you...are you lacking the emperor's favor?" “Don’t stir up trouble.” Huang Jin pointed at the eunuch, but there was a hint of gloom between his brows, and then he sneered, “The selection of guards is the emperor’s favor, but behind this emperor’s favor, we seem to see blood and rain, and mountains of corpses and seas of blood. I hope Chang Wei Bo has good luck!” The eunuch turned around and saw Jiang Qingzhi looking at the guards with his hands behind his back, looking calm. He couldn't help but mutter, "Why does Long Wei Bur look like he doesn't care? Is he really not afraid of those people?" …… Jiang Qingzhi returned home, explained the matter to Fucheng, and went into the study. Chocolate, compressed biscuits, the flashlight is on, and the battery is still full... The knife was used by Jiang Qingzhi to peel fruit, and it didn't look like a precious knife. All this could not help Jiang Qingzhi. Jiang Qingzhi played with his mobile phone, turned it on, looked at the empty signal bar, looked at the empty notification bar, and there was only a pop-up window for updating the system. Look at the precious sword hanging on the wall, and then look at the bookcase filled with ancient and modern military strategies... “It depends on this!” Jiang Qingzhi thought about the current situation... After the Zhao Wenhua incident, there was no room for maneuver for him and the Yan Party. In the eyes of the literati, the Yan Party was the lackeys of Emperor Jiajing. However, these lackeys did not oppose them. He was also quite friendly to scholars and officials. If Jiang Qingzhi had learned from the Yan Party, his life would have been much easier. But he wanted to go home. I am even more worried that if I lie down, I will be wiped out by Master Ding. The country's destiny! Jiang Qingzhi held his chin with one hand, lost in thought with an unlit cigarette in his mouth. If we want to prolong the life of the Ming Dynasty, we have to cut flesh from these scholars and officials.
A fight is inevitable. Today's assassination made Jiang Qingzhi realize the cruelty of that group of people. Safety issues should be put on the agenda. "Uncle." Fu Cheng's voice was heard outside the study. "Come in." Fu Cheng pushed the door open and bowed his head respectfully. "Shi Tou said there were assassins. I thought it would be inconvenient to recruit some good guards..." "Are you worried that there might be spies among them?" "Yes." "Old Fu, when our interests coincide, I am a fellow soldier with the palace. Today, I learned about this matter and most of the candidates backed off. Do you know that I am not angry but happy?" Fu Cheng smiled and said, "Those who are unwilling to come are not reliable. In this way, the remaining people can be used." "Master, Sun Bu Tong wants to see you." Jiang Qingzhi stood up and said, "Let's go take a look." Sixteen people stood in the front yard, with Dou Jialan and Sun Chonglou talking in low voices beside them. Sun Bu Tong grinned and bowed, "Hello, Master." Jiang Qingzhi nodded, "How did you select them?" Sun Bu Tong smiled flatteringly, "I asked about the family background. As long as the family has enough food and clothing, I don't want any of them." "Why?" Jiang Qingzhi asked. Sun Bu Tong said: "I shouldn't have said something..." "Just say it." "I shouldn't say this, but these people are very arrogant. They didn't get selected last time for various reasons. Those who have extra food at home are looking forward to the next time. After all, serving Your Majesty has a future, while serving the Earl is full of dangers and has few benefits." Sun Bu Tong glanced at Jiang Qingzhi and said, "Only those who have no extra food at home dare to take risks. Lord, you only need to use both kindness and force, and you will naturally be able to use it for your own benefit." Sun Bu Tong twitched his lips lightly, "Look at what nonsense I am talking about! Please forgive me, sir." It's a talent! Jiang Qingzhi didn't expect that he would pick up such a talent by chance. He walked up to the fifteen people and said: "Just one word." Fifteen people looked up. This is my team!
The young nobleman sighed, as if he had returned to the jungles of South America. The long-lost excitement brought out some of his bandit nature. "Follow me and there will be meat to eat!" …… Asking for votes. (End of this chapter)
