I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 20 Two Letters

Zhejiang, Zhejiang Governor's Mansion.

In the study, Hu Zongxian put aside the battle report sent by Qi Jiguang from the front line, and he couldn't help sighing: "Fortunately, Quanzhou City has been defended, otherwise, how many people would suffer!"

Immediately afterwards, Hu Zongxian's face was full of tangled expressions, and he kept pacing in the study with his hands behind his back.

"This Qi Jiguang has given me a big problem."

Hu Zongxian sighed deeply, his face was full of worry.

What can make Hu Zongxian, governor of a province, so worried is naturally what Qi Jiguang mentioned in the battle report-the Fran cannon that appeared at the scene of the Japanese pirates attacking the city.

According to Qi Jiguang, those Fran cannons left at the scene are at least eighty to ninety percent new, and someone in the army must have resold them to Japanese pirates!As for who it is, Hu Zongxian already has a rough guess in his heart.

If this matter is reported to the imperial court, the holy majesty will be furious, and the number of people involved will be countless.After all, there are some things that can't be weighed without one or two, and can't even beat a thousand catties if they are scaled!Assuming that this matter is kept secret and only the Quanzhou City Battle is reported, it will be a good situation for everyone.

After weighing for a long time, Hu Zongxian still hadn't made up his mind. When he was agitated, he happened to catch a glimpse of the long-forgotten letter. It was sent by his teacher Yan Song before, but he was busy with the war and didn't have time to read it.

Hu Zongxian approached and opened the letter, on which were written four characters of Ruzhen's personal letter.

Hu Zongxian randomly found a seat and sat down, and began to read the above content.

In the letter, the teacher still cared about his body so much, and gave him great support in terms of armaments, money and food, and Hu Zongxian couldn't help feeling a little warmth in his heart.

When Hu Zongxian saw the last sentence, his face suddenly changed. It said: "The Japanese pirates must be suppressed, not all of them!"

After a long silence, Hu Zongxian stood up, holding the letter paper in his hand, looking very helpless, and said silently: "Teacher, you did something wrong!"

"You once commented on me like this, saying that I, Hu Zongxian, did not harm the country or the people when I went up in major events! But now..."

Hu Zongxian staggered to the candlelight, threw the letter into it, and watched it turn into ashes with his own eyes. At the moment when the letter paper was turned into ashes, Hu Zongxian only felt that something was gone from him forever.

'Boom boom boom! 'At this moment, there was a knock on the door from outside the house.

"Come in, what's the matter?" Hu Zongxian showed a firm expression, but still let the visitor in.

"My lord, this is a letter written to you personally by His Majesty! Please send it to me."

Hearing that it was Jiajing's letter to him, Hu Zongxian's beard moved, and then he knelt down and took the letter from the envoy's hand.

"Since the letter has been delivered, the miscellaneous family will take their leave."

"Eunuch, go slowly." Hu Zongxian bowed and saluted.

When the father-in-law who delivered the letter left, Hu Zongxian closed the door of the study and opened the letter as before.

The content of the letter is not much, only a few sentences, and Hu Zongxian read it quickly.

"Thousands of miles are serving the king. I have nothing to ask for, and I know the hardships of the frontier. How can I seek it for my wife? I will not be held responsible for what you do!"

Hu Zongxian seemed to be possessed by a demon, he kept muttering those few lines of poems, and couldn't help crying: "Your Majesty is really my minister's bosom friend!"

"The minister Hu Zongxian greets His Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

After Hu Zongxian finished speaking, he kowtowed three times in the direction of the capital.

After his emotions completely calmed down, Hu Zongxian returned to the desk with a firm expression, spread out the pen and paper, without any modification, and wrote everything that happened in Quanzhou City. You don't need to go through the cabinet and the director of ceremonies, and you can directly present it to the Holy One.

……

Quanzhou City, County Government House.

At this moment, Yang Zongtai was lying on the bed with a book in his hand.

Two days have passed since the Quanzhou Defense Battle, and the corpses on the battlefield have also been collected.Recalling the scene at that time, Yang Zongtai still has lingering fears, what if the reinforcements did not arrive at the beginning?Could it be that the people in Quanzhou City and his wife and children would all be poisoned by Japanese pirates? Thinking of this, Yang Zongtai didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"Really, the doctor asked you to rest for a while, why are you reading books again!"

The door of the bedroom was pushed open, and Yang Zongtai's wife came in with a bowl of soup and medicine, with a look of resentment on her face.

"Ahem, am I bored?"

"Come on, open your mouth, ah."

The decoction in the bowl was extremely bitter, Yang Zongtai just drank two spoonfuls and refused to drink any more.

"Be obedient and drink the medicine. How can you look like a child at such an age! The doctor said that good medicine is good for the disease." Yang Zongtai's wife frowned and put the soup on the table, pretending to be angry.

"I'll drink the medicine later, now, hehe." Yang Zongtai smiled and put his wife in his arms, and held her hand tightly.

"Ah, it's broad daylight!" Yang Zongtai's wife exclaimed, and her face turned red with shame and anger.

Feeling the temperature from his wife's hand, Yang Zongtai said silently: "To tell you the truth, I was really scared at that time, I was afraid that Quanzhou City would be destroyed, I was afraid that I would die, and I was even more afraid of you..."

Before he finished speaking, his wife stopped him with her hand: "Stop talking about this, it's over."

"How about the soldiers who died earlier? Are they buried? Where's Master Li?"

"The imperial court buried them all in one place, and gave them double pensions on the original basis, so their families don't have to worry about it."

"That's fine." Yang Zongtai nodded and said softly.

"By the way, I heard what Qi...what general said, you have made great contributions this time! Mr. Hu, the governor of Zhejiang Province, is going to ask for credit for you in person. Haven't you always wanted to leave here?"

Yang Zongtai smiled, did not speak, but stroked his wife's hair.

Just when the husband and wife were loving each other, a guard's report came from outside: "Report to the county magistrate, there are many people gathered here outside the county government!"

"What? Wait a moment, I'll go and have a look." With the help of his wife, Yang Zongtai put on his official uniform and barely got up from the bed.

"Pay attention to safety." The wife urged worriedly.

"Okay." Yang Zongtai replied with a smile.

When Yang Zongtai walked out of the county government office, he saw many people kneeling down densely on the street outside the county government office. Seeing him coming out, they all kowtowed and said, "We kneel down to thank the county magistrate for saving his life!"

"Please hurry up, everyone. I am an official sent by the imperial court to Quanzhou. Once I serve as an official, I will benefit one side!"

……

Capital City, Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Jiajing sat upright on the futon, eyes closed, breathing evenly, if there was a cultivator present, one could see at a glance that the energy between heaven and earth was being absorbed by Jiajing.

Since the last time the mana in the body was increased through the breathing method, Jiajing has been meditating frequently, concentrating on the mind, and has now reached the state of being able to enter meditation without relying on reciting the "Tao Te Ching".

"Whoo~"

Jiajing let out a long breath of turbid air, opened his eyes, and with the continuous breathing, the impurities in his body have been eliminated, and his senses have become much sharper. Even the dark wounds he suffered before have been repaired. Feel comfortable all over.

"Your Majesty, Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang Province and the governor of Zhejiang Province, has a statement."

"Bring it up!"

"Yes."
