I'm really not doing business

Chapter 52 Qi Shuai, I have doubts

Empress Dowager Li agreed to give Qi Jiguang the title because she had her own plan. Qi Jiguang worshiped under Zhang Juzheng's door, and if he won the earl, he could go to Beijing to serve as an admiral. On that day, Zhang Juzheng's Zhang Dang, It is today's Jin Party, although it is not a clan party, it is enough to threaten the emperor.

This was something she would never allow to happen, so when Qi Jiguang went to the palace to watch the emperor practice martial arts, Empress Dowager Li threw out such a condition without any discussion.

Zhu Yijun's expression remained unchanged. Empress Dowager Li did not tell the little emperor her thoughts in advance, he did not want to embarrass Qi Jiguang too much.

Empress Dowager Li is quite easy to talk about in some matters, but in some matters, it is extremely difficult to speak, the child suffers a bit, Empress Dowager Li is distressed, and she will not force her to stop her, but in matters of the outer court, Empress Dowager Li seldom knows how to speak. Listen to the big truths of the little emperor.

Of course it is possible to confer a title, but Qi Jiguang, the sharpest sword in the Ming Dynasty, must be in the hands of the emperor.

The emperor's exclusive management is the bottom line that Queen Mother Li cannot provoke.

This time Qi Jiguang's candidacy was a trial made by Zhang Juzheng, who was in charge of the emperor after Chen Wushishu, and Zhang Juzheng's debate with Yang Bo in the Fengtian Hall proved that Zhang Juzheng did not intend to usurp the divine weapon and did not interfere with the emperor's exclusive management. For Empress Dowager Li, other matters that Chen Wushi neglected could be tolerated.

The emperor's royal gate to listen to the government, the emperor's commentary, the emperor's summoning of ministers, state affairs need to be discussed by the court, and Beijing officials need to be assessed, all of which are reasonable requirements.

Lord Shaoguo suspected that the imperial power was absent under the imperial system, and the courtiers took the opportunity to make some demands. It is not too much to ask the emperor to listen to the government, manage the government, and see his courtiers.

Zhu Yijun was just about to talk to Empress Dowager Li, he was eloquent and eloquent, since the minister was still there, Empress Dowager Li should give him some face as a little emperor.

"I have always been a minister of the Ming Dynasty, eating the emperor's salary, and being loyal to the emperor." Qi Jiguang spoke first, bowed his head and said: "I also ask the Queen Mother to learn from you."

"That's true, as long as Qi Shuai understands." After hearing Qi Jiguang's answer, Empress Dowager Li knew that Qi Jiguang agreed, and in the future, she will not be under the door of Quanchu Guild Hall.

Qi Jiguang's words mean that in the past, worshiping under Zhang Juzheng's gate was purely helpless. If he could face the saint, if he could not worship under other people's name, he could do things, and he was unwilling to go around worshiping the master.

After worshiping the seat lord, he is a running dog of others. For the soldiers who fight, they are the powerful and dignified.

Qi Jiguang and Zhang Ju are just friends of gentlemen, but this is the only way to go in this messy court.

"I'm tired. Qi Shuai will stay in the palace today and have dinner with His Majesty." The Empress Dowager Li didn't say anything else to Qi Jiguang. Recruiting generals, but recruiting generals for the emperor.

The banquet was held in Fengwang Hall, and Chen Dacheng, the general of Jizhou, was accompanying him. Chen Dacheng was full of excitement. When the commander returned to Beijing, he not only received a full amount of rewards, but also a title of title. Not only that, he also received the emperor's honor Big feast!
The guards who went to Beijing together this time also selected ten people to accompany them.

"It's a military rule that ministers don't drink alcohol, except those who are sailors." Qi Jiguang looked at the wine pot and wine glass, and said a little embarrassed.No drinking in the army is an iron rule set by Qi Jiguang, he can't take the lead in breaking it, and today he has to go out of the city and return to Jizhou.

Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "The thing in the glass is just water."

Just to enjoy the atmosphere, if he drinks at this age, tomorrow Zhang Juzheng will write the Notes of Guilt, and Empress Dowager Li should take the little emperor to the Taimiao to read the Edict of Guilt.

When Qi Jiguang heard that it was really water, he quickly got up and waved his sleeves as if he was about to kneel and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion."

"In the future, I will play it right in private, so I don't need to kneel down to answer. Mr. Yuan Fu lectures on banquets, rides horses to practice martial arts, and Xu Xueshi teaches me to farm. You don't need to kneel down to answer." Zhu Yijun said quite accurately, interrupting Qi Jiguang's kneeling Posture, also took out the example, told Qi Jiguang, this is not a special grace.

For a titan in his 40s who has been killing for nearly 30 years, kneeling down to him, a ten-year-old man, is based on etiquette, but His Majesty the Emperor's oral order is an imperial decree.

When there is a conflict between etiquette and imperial decree, who should listen to?
Qi Jiguang chose to listen to the emperor, and he discovered another characteristic of the little emperor, that is, informality, which may be the method that the Empress Dowager Li taught the little emperor to win people's hearts. means.

But this method is extremely useful.

The guests and hosts enjoyed a meal.

Zhu Yijun highly affirmed Qi Jiguang's martial arts in Pingwa and resisting the enemy, praised his achievements in the battle of Xifengkou, and slammed the conspiracy between the little prince of Beiman and Dong Huli, which dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the enemy. Inspired the Ming army and the people to resist the enemy, and at the same time raised their own concerns about the northern captives' re-invasion of the border.

Qi Jiguang said that he would do his best to take resolute measures to resist the invasion of bandits. At the same time, he would increase the number of piers and remote marquises, detect the enemy's movements in time, and do everything possible to keep the enemy out of the country. Expectations for the soldiers of the three towns, dare to fight and fight, and win the decisive battle.

"I opened up a Baoqi Hall in Jingshan, Qingming is over, Qi Shuai will accompany me to have a look?" Zhu Yijun proposed to go to Shanglin Garden together after lunch.

"I would like to go with Your Majesty." Qi Jiguang hurriedly bowed his head and said, His Majesty said that he was not allowed to kneel, but he was still very obedient.

As for His Majesty's promise, Qi Jiguang did not expect His Majesty to fulfill it, but only hoped that the Emperor would pay attention to military affairs and prevent the military disaster from spreading to the Gyeonggi area.

Zhu Yijun brought Qi Jiguang and Chen Dacheng to Jingshan Baoqi Hall, and took Qi Jiguang to the outside of the sun room. Standing in the noon sun, looking at the seedlings in the field, he squatted down and introduced potatoes and sweet potatoes.

"According to Luo Gongchen, the co-prefect of Haiphong, the yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes is over a thousand catties per mu overseas. Qi Shuai and General Li Shen are all from military households in the fields. You should understand what it means to produce a thousand catties per mu. The important thing is this When planting crops, don’t choose barren and fertile crops, if you can grow them alive, there will be countless people.” Zhu Yijun squatted beside the field, pointing to the seedlings in the field.

The seedlings are egg-shaped and heart-shaped in dark green, full of vitality. Qi Jiguang also squatted down to inspect the seedlings carefully. Obviously, the seedlings have been carefully taken care of.

Pointing to the five-acre field on the left, Zhu Yijun said: "One seedling every six inches, four thousand seedlings are needed for one mu of land. The seedlings have four nodes, two leaves are exposed to the ground, and the rest of the leaves are inserted into the soil."

"This is not to say that four thousand potato seedlings are needed. The potato seedlings are specially cultivated in the fire room. If the temperature exceeds [-] degrees, the seedlings will be burned. Therefore, after the cultivation is completed, the potato seedlings must be inspected every day. After the potato seedlings are moved out of the fire room, When it grows to six inches to eight inches, start to cut the seedlings and plant them in the field."

"Forty degrees?" Qi Jiguang looked at the seedlings and heard unfamiliar terms, and asked immediately.

Zhu Yijun led Qi Jiguang and other people to explain in detail the principle of the thermometer's thermal expansion and cold contraction and the definition of the standard.

"Potato seedlings like sandy loam soil. When planting, the soil should be crushed, thinned, and leveled. If you water too much, it will easily rot the seedlings and tubers." Zhu Yijun explained the whole process of raising seedlings.

The construction of the fire room does not necessarily require a sun room. The main function of the sun room is to cultivate attenuated potato seedlings. Whether it is pinching or killing greens, the sun room is used. After the potato seedlings are six inches, start cutting seedlings and seedlings. It grows very fast, and the four sections are a seedling.

In the 25th year of Jiajing, Qi Jiguang inherited the position of his ancestors and became the commander of the Dengzhou Guard. He was in charge of farming. Although the Southern Army (Qi's Army) is a recruiting system, it does not mean that they do not farm. On the contrary, they also attach importance to farming and warfare. The southern soldiers who did not plunder also relied on farming and warfare.

Farming is a matter of course for Daming.

Qi Jiguang has very rich experience in farming. He had a serious chat with the Emperor of Ming Dynasty for a long time, and Xu Zhenming was in charge of checking and filling in the gaps. When the emperor didn't understand, Xu Zhenming only answered. The emperor can answer it.

Until he reached the small pavilion of Baoqi Hall, Qi Jiguang suddenly discovered that he was exchanging farming experience with His Majesty the Emperor!Your Majesty, is this not doing your job properly?

But the little emperor was very familiar with farming, and he was not playing around, which made the flame of expectation in Qi Jiguang's heart much more vigorous.

"Your Majesty, do you often come to this Baoqi Hall?" Qi Jiguang asked curiously. In his impression, it was enough for the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to help the plow to express it when he offered sacrifices to Jumang in spring. Even Song Renzong When planting the land, it is also time to go and see when it is harvesting.

Qi Jiguang can write military books. Since ancient times, there have been very few military strategists who are good at fighting. The battlefield seems to be set up for them by nature, but there are not many military strategists who can pour out their stomachs.

Many military strategists know how to fight battles, but if asked him to explain it, he can't explain it. It's like dumplings in a teapot, which can't be poured out.

Qi Jiguang was able to pour out the dumplings in his stomach because he read books and had an excellent literary talent. If he had to inherit the position of his ancestors, he would also have thought about obtaining fame. Although his military talent was dazzling, Qi Jiguang still couldn't let go of the book in the army.

So Qi Jiguang knew that Song Renzong's Baoqi Palace was just to show his emphasis on agriculture and mulberry. Could it be that Song Renzong still cultivated the land himself?

Emperor Gao, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, planted the land himself, and he planted the land in the palace after becoming the emperor.

"Your Majesty comes every day." Xu Zhenming answered this question. His Majesty cherishes these seedlings very much. No matter how late it is, he will come to have a look at it before the palace gate is locked, even if it is just a glance.

"Your Majesty Hongyi, I congratulate you for Daming and the people of the world." Qi Jiguang said with mixed feelings.

Zhu Yijun sat down in Baoqi Hall, which is a small hall less than three feet wide. It is more like a pavilion than a pavilion. He said with a smile: "Qi Shuai, General Chen, Xueshi Xu, sit Let's talk."

Zhu Yijun looked at Qi Jiguang and said very precisely: "Qi Shuai, I have doubts."

　Only after reading Xiaowu can I have everything! ! ! !Wu, Xiang, who, Lin, and sister-in-law Gui, once again solemnly repeat!
