I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 586 Rebirth and Reflection

Who said that insidious people don't deserve to have brothers.

Cao Mengde, who would rather teach me to bear the people of the world than let the people of the world bear me, has countless brothers who are willing to work hard for him.

What's more, Liu Gang pays more attention to brotherhood than Cao Cao.

Although Li Tian didn't know, he had a deep bond with his former subordinates.

But this does not affect Li Tian's judgment on Liu Gang.

He also knew that Liu Gang, who was considered a living dead now, could help his former brothers by not revealing his identity.

He thought that once the outside world knew that Liu Gang was still alive, not to mention whether Li Tian would kill him, those who had been persecuted by Liu Gang would never let him go, even if he was hiding in the palace at this time , but as long as you want to kill him, you can still find a chance.

Since he can die, his subordinates who once obeyed his orders will naturally become the targets of hunting and killing.

Even if it's not for his own sake, even if it's for their sake, Liu Gang will not reveal his information easily.

Li Tian also understood this point, which is why he directed Liu Gang to contact his former subordinates.

How powerful was the Jin Yiwei in the Ming Dynasty, so that people can be scared out of their wits just by hearing their names.

After such a long time of understanding, Li Tian can actually get a glimpse of it by combining some movies and historical records he has seen in his previous life.

I'm afraid it's not enough to describe it as pervasive.

Once the state machinery is fully operational, there is probably nothing in the world that they cannot accomplish.

Although the Jinyiwei at this time has been cut into a dog by Li Tian, ​​but as the saying goes, a dead camel is bigger than a horse, and there are three thousand nails in the broken boat.

Those elite Jinyiwei were just abolished, not dead.

It's actually not that difficult to use them again.

It's just that this time, they no longer have the right to kill first and then play the imperial charter. The only thing they can rely on is their previous experience.

Exchanging information for money will be a hundred times more difficult than before. If one is not careful, he will die, and his name may not even be recorded after death.

It's not that Liu Gang is unaware of such a result, but even so, Liu Gang used his only hole card as a bet to help them win.

After losing the protection of Jinyiwei, Liu Gang didn't have much confidence in how far they could go, but he did it in the end.

The purpose is only to let these old brothers have a chance to go to the battlefield again and prove to be useful again.

In fact, this can be regarded as Liu Gang completely surrendering to Li Tian in disguise.

And Li Tian did not disappoint Liu Gang's trust and gave him the greatest authority.

It's a win-win situation for both parties.

After explaining these things to Liu Gang, Li Tian turned and left.

But Liu Gang couldn't calm down for a long time.

The hand that picked up the pen and paper to write letters to those old brothers was trembling.

But when he finished writing the secret letter and was about to send it out, he had completely calmed down.

Because he knows that no matter how worried he is, what should happen will happen after all, and it is better to give it a go than to be afraid.

Everyone is happy, the old brothers can not only get money, but also return to His Majesty's vision, and maybe there will be a day when they will become famous.

If they failed, they would have deserved their death no matter what. It was better than being drunk all day long and dying in a dirty alley in the end.

Li Tian had never had the experience of Liu Gang, so he didn't know how miserable those Jinyiwei who were dismissed are living now.

Make a horizontal comparison.

These dismissed Jinyiwei are like the veterans of the United States who have come down from the battlefield.

Apart from killing people, they don't know any survival skills. Once the money on hand is spent, it is still unknown whether they can survive.

From a prominent class full of glory and life and death, to the most ordinary commoner, this gap is no less than that of a multi-millionaire who loses all his wealth.

The days of being at a loss may accompany them for a lifetime.

In the days without goals and motivation, even a heroic man with strong bones can be worn down into a homeless man who knows no hunger or cold.

To die without honor is actually a kind of torture for a person in a special profession like Jin Yiwei.

Liu Gang took this opportunity to let these people regain their goals. In fact, he was not using their remaining value, but instead gave them the motivation to live well in a disguised form.

Li Tian may not understand these things, but Liu Gang does.

He didn't say everything so clearly because he knew that Li Tian might not care at all, but he was wrong, Li Tian probably knew more than him, but he didn't intend to say it.

After writing the letter, Liu Gang half-lyed on the iron chair and didn't move for a long time.

It's like losing consciousness.

In fact, he was just recalling bits and pieces of the past, and he was a little fascinated.

The scenery of the past is no longer, and the ambitions are also submerged in loneliness.

Liu Gang, who was only in his forties, was supposed to be the most glorious stage in his life, but why did he become what he is now.

He couldn't help but start to reflect on what he did wrong to cause such a catastrophe.

To persecute Zhongliang and gather crowds to collect money?
How many people have done it in history, and in the end, they lived well until the end of their lives.

Taking bribes and breaking the law, intending to hold the emperor hostage?
Winners and losers will eventually have such retribution.

At the beginning, he didn't understand that every step he took was meaningful, and every plan was very detailed, why he had fallen to the present situation.

After this period of reflection, he finally realized something.

In fact, he was not to blame for everything, not because his plan was not thorough enough, nor was his ability insufficient, but because he met an emperor who didn't play cards according to common sense.

That emperor can be like Li Tian, ​​in order to protect an official, let his whole family be taken into the palace.

That emperor was like Li Tian, ​​who broke Daming's sharpest knife in the middle at the slightest disagreement.

Who is like Li Tian, ​​who has started to reform within less than a month after taking office.

Who is like Li Tian, ​​who has a sharp butcher knife, but has the capacity to tolerate people.

A person with such a heinous crime like himself can still be reused. He knows that all threats can be killed in the cradle if he just moves his lips, but he doesn't care at all.

Such a person is either stupid, or has extreme self-confidence, believing that everything can be under his control!
Liu Gang doesn't think that Li Tian who can defeat him lightly is a fool.

Only today did he realize that Li Tian is an emperor completely different from any previous monarch, and an emperor worthy of his wholehearted submission.
