Wang Qiang resigned from Chongzhen, walked out of the interior, and couldn't help but be disheartened when he looked at the high red wall behind him. Thinking of his painstaking efforts in the past two years to build a special zone, run a market, and form a militia group, he just had a little eyebrows, but as a result, this bit of family background was stripped clean in an instant by a few words from Chongzhen, and several cronies he made were also broken up, it seems that Jiang Gonggong's analysis of Chongzhen is not bad at all, Chongzhen is narrow-minded and suspicious, such an emperor can no longer be protected! I have an uncertain future when I return to the palace this time, and I don't know when I will come out, if I don't get it, I will stay here for the rest of my life, and I will be killed if I stay in the palace for a lifetime like Lin Zhe, after all, I am a fake eunuch, and I can't hide it sooner or later! Thinking of this, Wang Qiang was worried again. Wang Qiang walked all the way, thinking all the way, and the more he thought about it, the more chaotic he became, and he didn't figure out his eyebrows after all.

Wang Qiang rushed back to Tongzhou that afternoon and went straight to the back house and entered Jiang Yuquan's room. When Jiang Yuquan saw Wang Qiang's expression, he couldn't help but laugh evilly and said, "How is it, what our family said is good, right?" ”

"That's right, your old man's guess is really accurate, the emperor really suspects me." Wang Qiang sat beside Jiang Yuquan with his head down.

"How's it going? Let's hear it. Jiang Yuquan said.

"That's the case------ Wang Qiang said what happened to Chongzhen.

"Chongzhen Xiaoer, sure enough, the mud can't support the wall, wouldn't treating the heroes like this make the world feel cold, if it goes on like this, Daming will be destroyed in his hands sooner or later!" Jiang Yuquan said indignantly.

"What are you going to do now?" Jiang Yuquan then asked.

"Alas, what can I do, go back to the palace obediently." Wang Qiang sighed.

"Phew! Something that doesn't make a difference! Jiang Yuquan scolded angrily. You have encountered some setbacks at a young age, and you are so decadent, and our family has vain all the high hopes for you! ”

"Don't be angry, old man! Where can I go if I don't go back to the palace? Wang Qiang said aggrievedly.

"Naturally, I want to go back to the palace, but I can't mess around. You must know that at the age of 9,000, you were just a small servant in the palace at your age, and you had to endure for decades. You are now in a high position at a young age, and the government and the opposition are also quite famous, if you are willing to endure and work hard, he will surely be able to regain the glory of 9,000 years old one day! ”

"Hehe, forget it, we don't have the two times of nine thousand years old. Besides, now that the emperor is watching the eunuchs very closely, how can there be a chance. Wang Qiang said.

"Not really. If Chongzhen is the wise and martial king, you naturally have no chance, as if he is so dim now, you will naturally have more opportunities. It's just that all kinds of deeds have to come in secret, and as soon as his wings are full, he will not be able to deal with you if he wants to. Jiang Yuquan said confidently.

"But I'm stuffy in the palace, how can I cultivate power?"

"It's not difficult, listen carefully to me and explain it to you. This chief of the inner house is the highest position among the fathers-in-law, and his power is very great! There are generally three directions in this cultivation force. The first is the concubine. Which of these ladies in the palace is not supported by a prominent family behind them! Even if the family background is average before entering the palace, once you enter the palace as a concubine, the people of the family will ascend to heaven and grow in power. You are the head of the inner house, in charge of the emperor's daily life, those concubines naturally want to befriend you, deal with this relationship, and the families behind them will naturally be used by you. The second is the prince. If you think about it, these princes are the future emperor or prince, and you can use your position to have a good relationship with these princes, and if you have friendship, it will naturally be beneficial in the future. There is also a very important one, although the East Factory, the West Factory, and Jinyiwei are directly under the orders of the emperor, but the heads of these institutions are all led by the father-in-law, if you can hold the hearts of the people and cultivate your own wings, once you have the opportunity to recommend and promote these cronies, the power will naturally spread all over the country, how can a palace wall be able to stop it! Jiang Yuquan said.

Wang Qiang savored Jiang's words and felt that it was very reasonable. Jiang Yuquan continued: "You have been running the Special Economic Zone for two years, and the income is naturally expensive, you don't have to be stingy, when you get to the palace, you will spend a lot of money in the palace, and those concubines and fathers-in-law with some positions will not be left behind, those people will not trouble you if they accept your benefits, and you will pick up those smart and clever eunuchs to double their favor, promote and reuse, and gradually form their own forces, why worry about the day when there is no future!" ”

"Old man Xie taught me. My king is strong, but when he has a bright future, he will not forget the kindness of his father-in-law. Wang Qiang said gratefully.

"Well, you kid is angry, I can trust this. However, there is no informality in achieving great things, and you must be ruthless when you should be ruthless, and if you are soft-hearted, you will achieve nothing. Jiang Yuquan said.

"Yes, remember." Wang Qiang said respectfully.

Jiang Yuquan nodded with satisfaction, groped and took out something from under his body and handed it to Wang Qiang. It was a black piece of iron, and the iron sheet was aimed at a dragon with gold thread, but it was a single horn.

"What is this?" Wang Qiang asked.

"This is a Death Order!"

"Dead Order? What is it for? ”

"When he was 9,000 years old, he was in power, and there were many talents under his command, including the four great King Kongs and the thirty-six constellations, and he was the head of the four King Kongs. In addition, there is a secret army called the Dead Soldiers, and these dead soldiers are loyal to only one person, the Nine Thousand Years Old, and they are extremely loyal. Their identities are extremely secretive, and only 9,000 years old know the roots. This order of the dead soldier is a token for calling the dead man, and seeing the order is like seeing nine thousand years old. When I was 9,000 years old in my early years, I knew that my life was not guaranteed, and before parting, I transferred the death order to me, and I learned this secret. Jiang Yuquan said in a low voice.

"Oh. Are all these dead men still alive? Wang Qiang asked curiously.

Jiang Yuquan shook his head silently and said, "I don't know this. After the bad deeds of the 9,000-year-old, I was also put in prison, and the cronies around the 9,000-year-old did not know how many of them died, and the most important thing was that I didn't know the identities of these dead soldiers, which made it useless in my hands. Today I have passed this decree to you, that when you enter the palace, you may visit it in secret, and whoever knows it and can speak the secret words will be a dead man. ”

"What's the secret word?"

"You have memorized carefully, this secret phrase is, 'The golden dragon soars all over the world, and the one-horned shines in the capital!' Jiang Yuquan said in Wang Qiang's ear.

"The golden dragon soars all over the world, and the unicorn shines in the capital!" Wang Qiang repeated it softly and kept this sentence in his heart.

"Hey, these dead soldiers have their own special skills, if you find them, you can use the death order to order them, and you will be your help." Jiang Yuquan said.

"Thank you, father-in-law!" Wang Qiang looked at Jiang Yuquan deeply.

"Alas, providence, providence!" Jiang Yuquan raised his head and let out a long breath.

That night, Wang Qiang set up a banquet in the inner house and invited Tian Jingming, Shang Dayong, Li Gang, and Zhang Hao to drink. He reprimanded the servants, and ordered Xiao Shanzi to guard the wind at the door, and then drank and talked secretly with a few people. Several people have a close relationship, and they are all lifelong friendships with each other, so they don't have to worry about anything when they speak.

Wang Qiang first briefly told the story of seeing Emperor Chongzhen in the afternoon, and everyone was cold when they heard it, and several of them had been in the sea for a long time.

Shang Dayong was an anxious man, snapped his wine glass and said: "The emperor is clearly rising and descending, this special zone, the militia, and the military supply, which is not a top priority of the state, but let the adults go to the palace to serve those concubines, is the emperor dizzy?" ”

Li Gang knew Chongzhen's temperament very well, and said gloomily: "I think this is because the emperor is suspicious of Lord Wang, and intends to break up a few of us, cut the authority of the adult, and hide the bow of the bird, the tragedy of Inspector Yuan is repeating again." Ay! I have missed this after a thousand calculations, I knew that this was the case, why did we desperately resist the Qing army in the first place, but now the tree is making a big move, but it has been calculated. Hey! ”

Tian Jingming was promoted, but there was no joy at all, he knew that with his own ability and prestige, he would not be able to take care of such a big mess at all, as long as Wang Qiang left, the bigwigs in the DPRK and the governors in various places would definitely not buy their own accounts, and when the time came, they would reach out everywhere to rub the oil in the trade market, and the loser was probably inevitable, he sighed and said: "Alas! As soon as Lord Wang left, the SAR was defeated in a blink of an eye, and the imperial court had no support, hehe, I am afraid that life would not be so good. I don't dare to be greedy for a penny of money with Lord Wang, but in the future, hehe, I have to leave a way back for myself, if I am in a hurry, I will go into hiding, and be my rich man, who loves to worry about the affairs of this court! ”

"Yes, the emperor's measures are not only unfair to the king, but also harmful to the imperial court, our emperor, alas!" Zhang Hao sighed and said.

Shang Dayong said angrily: "Your Excellency can't just admit it, a few of us don't want to fight for our lives, how about a joint letter to let the emperor take back his life?" ”

Wang Qiang shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this won't work." In this way, the emperor will suspect that we are forming a party to resist the emperor, and I am afraid that there will be no good fruit to eat. ”

Shang Dayong slapped his thigh and said angrily: "Hey! This doesn't work, that doesn't work, are you willing to stay in that palace for the rest of your life, you say a charter! ”

Wang Qiang said: "For today's plan, I can only go with the flow, I plan to go to the palace according to the emperor's will, but I will not stay there for the rest of my life." According to my analysis, sooner or later it will not be possible for the Ming Dynasty to continue like this, and it is the year when heroes are coming out in large numbers, and it is difficult to say how this dynasty will develop, and I will come out sooner or later. But no matter how it develops, it is necessary to plan ahead. As the saying goes, "power comes out of the handle", as long as our brothers work together and have strength in our hands, one day we will have a bright future! Although we are temporarily separated, our love is still there, and whoever wants to break it up can't be separated! His words were profound and impassioned, and the meaning of them was clear to everyone.

Li Gang said in a deep voice: "Yes, I am not happy to dismantle people, this 5,000 militia is built by the adult monk general, although it is assigned to the military department and goes to the border pass, but it is still surnamed Wang. ”

Shang Dayong said: "Yes, I think that with this transfer, we will borrow those few to replace Zuodu with our own people, and build a real Wang army, no matter how the situation changes in the future, it is better to hold the military power in our hands!" ”

Tian Jingming was also said to be hot, and said with a bad smile: "Hehe! In this way, I, Lao Tian, still look at this stall for adults, but the money in my hand should be appropriately moved in case of emergency. ”

Wang Qiang thought about it and said: "The money of the special zone and the national debt is all accounted for, and it may not be appropriate to move it at will in case it is found out, right?" ”

Tian Jingming's little head flicked and said: "This adult doesn't have to worry about it, I won't tell you that when I raised the treasury bonds, the adults themselves took out more than 100,000 taels, as well as the silver taels brought back from Hangzhou, I hung them on the account of the treasury bonds according to the virtual head, and in the end, the money is still your Wang Qiang." Now our trade market has opened several places, and the money village has also opened more than a dozen, and the silver money that passes through every month is only 10 million, and I gradually exchange your silver money out is like scooping a scoop of water in the Yellow River, where there will be any traces. You can rest assured, I am an old official of the household department, and there will be absolutely no mistakes. But it is up to the adults to decide where the money should be spent. ”

Wang Qiang struck his palms and said, "Okay! I didn't expect you Lao Tian to have this hand. I think this money has to come in handy, Lao Shang, Li Gang, the two of you take some, it is useful to recruit troops and the whole army; Save some for Zhang Xiaoping, just in case you need it from time to time. Also, this cunning rabbit three holes, take a part of the money to select a few reliable people with cronies, go to various places to buy land and build farms, hoard some food, and train some families, which can be used sooner or later. What do you think of this? ”

"Good!"

"Yes, build a few more Zhuangzi in various places, and there will be a place to settle wherever you go in the future!"

Wang Qiang's proposal was agreed by everyone. Everyone was in the same mind, and discussed some details until late at night. Before leaving, Li Gang took out a fan from his sleeve and said to Wang Qiang: "My lord, that day you said that you don't know martial arts, I pondered for a while, and then I studied it with the craftsmen of the Special Administrative Region, and discussed how to make this weapon for you, what do you think?" ”

Wang Qiang took it, felt that the fan was very heavy, opened it and took a closer look, the fan handle was made of fine iron, polished very smooth, and the outside was pasted with colored paper, which was nothing special from the appearance. Li Gang pointed to the side and said, "Lord Wang, this is a hidden weapon, and there are machine springs installed in these two fan handles. He pointed to the fan holder and taught Wang Qiang hand in hand: "As long as the fan is opened, the index finger is pressed on the twist of the fan support, and the steel needles can be issued in the fan handle, and these steel needles are coated with anesthetic, and the body is immediately weak, and the limbs are numb, come, you try it." ”

Wang Qiang opened the fan as he said, aimed the handle of the fan at the screen in the house, pressed the button with his index finger, and only heard the slight sound of swishing, and a few steel needles hit the wood of the screen, piercing deeply.

"Hehe, insinuation, this is, with this thing, Lao Tzu is not afraid of those thieves!" Wang Qiang said happily.

Li Gang said: "You are too busy with things, I am afraid that you will not have time to practice martial arts, with this secret weapon, although you can't go into battle to kill the enemy, you should be able to protect yourself in a critical moment." After speaking, Li Gang gave Wang Qiang in detail how to use the needle, dismantle and so on, until Wang Qiang learned it, and Li Gang turned around and left.
