Chapter 73 Qi Jiguang
There are not many people paying attention to the news that Qi Jiguang went to Beijing. The civil servants are not very interested in these things themselves, but Zhu Yijun is very interested. The key is that this person is so amazing that he has been listening to his stories since he was a child.
In addition, he embezzled gifts and curled Zhang Juzheng, this person seemed very contradictory.
The ending was very miserable, which made people feel a lot more sympathy for him.
Of course, Zhu Yijun was very interested in Qi Jiguang. After learning that Qi Jiguang had arrived in the capital, he directly asked his kitchen to prepare food and made a jar of good wine. Zhu Yijun was about to talk to him.
In fact, Zhu Yijun's curiosity about Qi Jiguang had another thing, that is, his fear of his wife.
You should know that in this era, there are not many people who are afraid of their wives. After so many years of history, only Fang Xuanling can fight with him. If Zhu Yijun is not curious, it is definitely fake.
"Where has Qi Jiguang been?" Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Jing and asked with a smile on his face.
"General Qi has already gone to Dianmao and will enter the palace soon." Zhang Jing said carefully when he saw his prince's excited appearance. After thinking about it, he added: "The prince, Mr. Qi has also entered the capital."
After being with Zhu Yijun for so many years, Zhang Jing has also figured out his temper. Obviously, his family's emperor must be very interested in Qi Jiguang's wife.
Zhu Yijun was stunned. Qi Jiguang's wife also came. He directly ordered Zhang Jing: "Go and bring Concubine Qi to the palace. I often hear that Concubine Qi will not let the bearded men. Since he is here, let's meet together!"
As soon as he heard the emperor's words, Zhang Jing knew that he was indeed right. Although the emperor looked serious, Zhang Jing knew that the emperor of his family must not think so.
"Yes, I'll go now!" After saying this, Zhang Jing turned around and walked out.
What Zhu Yijun did not expect was that before Qi Jiguang came, Xu Wenchang ran to him first. The old man looked excited. After seeing Zhu Yijun, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Qi Jiguang has entered the capital. Is Your Majesty going to give him a banquet?"
Zhu Yijun glanced at Xu Wenchang, and thought he was visiting an old friend, but he came to have a free meal again. No, he was a free drink.
After blanching his eyes at Xu Wenchang, Zhu Yijun said angrily: "You have almost drunk all the good wine in my palace. Wait until I and Qi Jiguang drink, just drink tea! There is no need to eat it anymore. I will give you a cup of tea."
Xu Wenchang didn't care, and laughed while laughing, his expression on his face was very rippling.
Qi Jiguang came soon, wearing a red python robe, which looked a bit elegant. At his fifties, he looked quite handsome. However, it was not Qi Jiguang who attracted Zhu Yijun's attention, but Mrs. Qi wearing imperial costumes beside him.
Seeing Mrs. Qi, Zhu Yijun finally knew why Qi Jiguang could not beat Mrs. Qi.
Is this tall about 1.8 meters tall?
In addition, since he was a child, Mrs. Qi gave people a feeling of being tough and oppressive. Although she was wearing imperial clothes, she still looked a bit heroic. When the two of them walked together, Qi Jiguang was about the same height as Mrs. Qi.
In this era, women pay attention to softness and petiteness. This Concubine Qi has nothing to do with these two words!
Legend has it that Qi Jiguang's later years are very miserable because Qi Jiguang's wife divorced Qi Jiguang, and her son and concubine left Qi Jiguang. Zhu Yijun did not believe this. Although Qi Jiguang was miserable, it was not so miserable.
However, Qi Jiguang was impeached and dismissed, probably because he was afraid of implicating his wife and children, so he was able to do so.
Zhu Yijun estimated that with Qi Jiguang's talent, he would definitely be able to guess his fate. With Hu Zongxian's insight, he would definitely have expected his ending. Zhang Juzheng's Zhang family was so miserable, how could he not be afraid? This is a means of self-deprecating generals, and they were all divorced by his wife. This is so miserable.
As for Qi Jiguang's wife going back to her parents' home, it was because Qi Jiguang's father-in-law's house was not ordinary!
It is said that because of Qi Jiguang's death of his concubine and adopted son, Concubine Qi left him, but how many years ago it happened?
He didn't leave when he was taking a concubine, so why did he leave when Qi Jiguang was unlucky? He couldn't stand the scrutiny at all. The biggest possibility was to avoid disaster. After all, Zhang Juzheng's family was very miserable, and his eldest son hanged him directly.
You should know that Qi Jiguang's father-in-law's family was a hereditary commander. After she left Qi Jiguang, the court would not have the same knowledge as her as a woman.
If Wang's departure was because he couldn't stand Qi Jiguang, what about his concubine and son? Could it be that he couldn't stand Qi Jiguang? Wang had that capital, but his concubine didn't. Besides, would his son abandon his father and let him live alone?
Zhu Yijun felt that if the matter was true, it was to avoid disaster. If it was false, it should be my Qing Dynasty that was pouring dirty water.
Of course, this dirty water was not poured on Qi Jiguang, but on the emperor of the current dynasty, that is, Wanli. With Qi Jiguang's miserable ending, I can do this in the Qing Dynasty.
As Zhu Yijun's thoughts rolled, Qi Jiguang had already pulled his wife to kowtow to Zhu Yijun.
"No gift!" Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said with a smile: "I have been waiting for my dear friend to come to Beijing!"
Although he said this, Zhu Yijun's eyes looked at Qi Jiguang's wife from time to time. This was really too eye-catching, much more eye-catching than Qi Jiguang. Qi Jiguang also discovered this and looked embarrassed.
"I am grateful to the emperor for his attention, and I am grateful to you." Qi Jiguang said respectfully.
"This time I came to Beijing and bought some specialties from the border and some rare wild game from Liaodong. I will present it to Your Majesty!"
Zhu Yijun looked at Qi Jiguang speechlessly. This person really went wherever he went to give gifts! He actually brought gifts to himself when he entered Beijing. Looking at Qi Jiguang's smiling face, Zhu Yijun felt a little distressed in his heart.
After calming down his emotions, Zhu Yijun sighed and said, "I know you are not well-off, so don't do such things in the future."
After hearing Zhu Yijun's words, Qi Jiguang was stunned, and even the Concubine Qi beside him was stunned.
"The court has not been well-off over the years and has owed many soldiers to the border. I also know that the soldiers of the border are not easy to live. The scholars of the border are full of romance and poetry, but the soldiers of the border are eating sand and working hard."
Speaking of this, Zhu Yijun laughed at himself: "It's all for the Ming Dynasty, so it shouldn't be like this."
After hearing Zhu Yijun's words, Qi Jiguang knelt on the ground with a thud and said loudly: "Your Majesty is wise and wise, and he is a wise ruler for all ages. It is really a blessing for the people, a blessing for the Ming Dynasty, and a blessing for the world!"
Looking at Qi Jiguang's sincere appearance, Zhu Yijun looked speechless.
You flattered too much. The sad atmosphere just now was instantly damaged by the impact.
Zhu Yijun saw that it was impossible for Qi Jiguang to be heartless in a short period of time. He has been through all the bumpy things in his life. He has seen everything and experienced it. He has long put a protective shell on his body.
Thinking about it, Qi Jiguang came from the Yan Song era, passed by Xu Jie Gaogong, and Zhang Juzheng behind him. If he hadn't had this spirit, he would have been dealt with miserably long ago.
Look at Yu Dayou, who is also a famous general, and then look at Qi Jiguang. You can tell by comparison.
"Get up!" Zhu Yijun waved his hand and turned to look at Qi Jiguang's wife. He decided to chat with Mrs. Qi to ease the awkward atmosphere: "Mrs. Qi, did I hear that you came from a military general family?"
Mrs. Qi quickly replied: "Your Majesty, your wife is born in the Anxi Wang family, and her father inherited the commander of Anxi."
Zhu Yijun nodded: "So that's it. I often hear that Concubine Qi is not allowed to be a beloved woman. She is a strange woman. When she sees her today, she is indeed extraordinary. It is really his blessing to be a wife like this."
Qi Jiguang, who was on the other hand, had his face unchanged at all when he heard this, and he looked like this.
Is the desire to survive so strong?
Zhu Yijun glanced at Qi Jiguang and knew that this man could definitely not show his emotions. However, after thinking about it, he understood that after seeing so many battle formations, he should have practiced it long ago. Not to mention that Mount Tai collapsed before his beauty remained unchanged, it was probably almost the same.
"I have someone prepare a banquet, give it a banquet!" Zhu Yijun thought for a while and spoke directly.
In fact, it is really not suitable to talk about the matter in Beijing with Xu Wenchang and Concubine Qi today.
When the banquet was held, everyone started to eat and drink. While eating and drinking, Zhu Yijun asked Qi Jiguang about some of the battle formations. With Xu Wenchang here, the atmosphere was not bad, and Qi Jiguang also talked a lot.
However, Qi Jiguang said a lot of flattery, and he obviously knows the truth that being with the king is like being with a tiger!
After the banquet ended, Qi Jiguang took his wife out of the palace. After getting on the carriage, Madam Qi looked at Qi Jiguang and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "I look at Your Majesty, and I still value your husband very much."
Qi Jiguang nodded: "In fact, I have heard of His Majesty for a long time. I have known since Yu Dayou was reused."
"I am even more sure when talking to Your Majesty today. Your Majesty has great ambitions and is the prime minister of a wise ruler. However, Yu Dayou is gone and Ma Fang is gone. It is better not to be too arrogant!"
Concubine Qi also understood Qi Jiguang's concerns. The current military of the Ming Dynasty was divided into two groups, one was a military household official represented by traditional nobles, and the other was a recruiting officer represented by Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou and others.
In the southeast, the imperial court was unable to adopt the recruitment system and recruited many recruiting officers.
Qi Jiguang is naturally the best among them, but now the world is peaceful, and this issue is highlighted. I can’t see anything during the war, but at this time, many people dislike recruiting soldiers.
