Chapter 396

Chapter 396

With his hands behind his back, Qi Jiguang stood in front of the steps at the same height as the official residence of the chief minister of the cabinet, facing the cold wind blowing in his face, he said in a loud voice: "If you want to wait for the arrival of spring, how can you be afraid of the wind and snow!"

After Xu Rucheng heard this, he didn't say any more, but just looked at the scenery in front of him as well.

"If you want to wait for the arrival of spring, how can you be afraid of the wind and snow!"

"That's right, Xinli can't be killed!"

"Don't they think that if Duke Ji is killed, the court won't promote the new ceremony, and won't push Wu Xun to take over the military?"

"but."

"Using this kind of trickery means that the supporters of the old rituals are really at the end of their lives, so they can only do this despicable thing."

unexpectedly.

Zhang Xueyan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, came over at this time. After hearing Qi Jiguang's words, he spoke loudly, and then bowed his hands to Qi Jiguang and Xu Rucheng.

Qi Jiguang and Xu Rucheng hurriedly returned the gift.

"Some people said that there was a lot of gunshots coming from the direction of the Beijing camp, and someone was assassinated. I guessed that it was related to the public."

"After all, except for the matter of being a minister, I don't think anyone would shoot a gun for no reason."

At this moment, Zhang Xueyan smiled and said to Qi Jiguang again, and said:

"Speaking of which, I am also responsible for this. It is I who want to fight against all opinions and list the name of the public on the court."

Qi Jiguang said with a smile: "How can I blame Zai Otsuka? Zai Otsuka can trust me, so I should take him as my confidant."

"I just have to admit that the first thing to do as a privy envoy is not how to rectify military affairs, but how to keep your own life!"

Qi Jiguang said to Zhang Xueyan and Xu Rucheng again:

"However, the servant does not really want a high position. It is only because, except for Otsuka, all the people in the court who are interested in the country must know that the silver-raising system of opening mines to benefit the people is about to be implemented. However, when the government wants to control the money and interests of the world and benefit the people and strengthen the country, the most important thing is that the strong soldiers and generals must be controlled by the court. The fierce generals can’t just be like thugs in the industry, only know how to use money to do things, don’t know the rise and fall of the country, and they are also responsible for it! In this way, someone needs to dare to come out to rectify military affairs!”

"As the saying goes, if I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell, since the matter is in front of me, I definitely have no reason to avoid it at the expense of my life!"

……

"Exactly!"

"Although the scholar is the head of the four peoples, he should not only emphasize the scholar, but not the warrior."

"Of course, as for etiquette and virtue, you have to ask for warriors just like you ask for scribes."

"At present, there are many generals and military officials in the world who withhold military pay and take credit for their merits. There are even some who use barbarians to embezzle land."

"It can be said that if you want the soldiers and horses in the world to be truly loyal and able to conquer the country, you should not only bully the people like a thug, but you should also be strict with the generals and military officials in the world, and you can't just be strict with the governor!"

"It's natural for the governor to control the military ministers, but why not ignore the military ministers' suppression of the soldiers?"

"If it is only managed by civil servants, it will inevitably make them dissatisfied, thinking that the civil servants deliberately suppressed the generals, and even committed mutiny; it is better to use the generals who were born in the family to manage the non-official military officials, so that the military officials in the world will not think that the court's disposal of a general is intentional by the civil officials. Bullying is also true, the general is really incompetent! In this way, it is not easy to complain, and to encourage competent people to follow suit!"

At this time, Zhang Xueyan was also talking about his point of view, but Xu Rucheng frowned and said something that he was quite worried about:

"Just if that's the case, will there be incidents of Xiangji Temple in this dynasty in the future?"

Both Qi Jiguang and Zhang Xueyan fell silent.

After a while, Zhang Xueyan said: "No!"

Xu Rucheng cupped his hands: "I also ask Otsuka Zai to clarify."

Qi Jiguang smiled slightly and nodded, while Zhang Xueyan only looked at Xu Rucheng and said:

"Because the new etiquette is the original intention of the ancient people to advocate etiquette, that is, it starts with respect and ends with benevolence. If I treat another person as a gentleman of the country, then he should treat me as a scholar of the country, regardless of civil or military!"

"Understood!"

Xu Rucheng clapped his hands and replied.

At this time, a clerk from the inner court suddenly came to pass the decree: "Duke Xuanji and Uncle Xing'an have an audience!"

After hearing this, Qi Jiguang told Zhang Xueyan to stay with him, and then entered the palace with Xu Rucheng.

When Qi Jiguang and Xu Rucheng entered the palace, they happened to meet Zhang Jing, the eunuch of Dongchang.

Seeing this, Qi Jiguang and Xu Rucheng surrendered to Zhang Jing first.

Zhang Jing didn't return the salute, and even let out a heck on purpose, and walked away with his whisk.

Qi Jiguang was quite embarrassed standing there for a while, but after a while, he deliberately asked loudly: "My husband is in charge of the factory guards, why does he always let the ministers be attacked?"

Zhang Jing turned around and asked: "Being an official is inherently dangerous. How can the factory guard send people to watch over you officials from outside the court every day? If Duke Ji is afraid of death, why doesn't he resign from the position of Prime Minister?"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Jing shook his head and came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Why is he like this?"

Xu Rucheng couldn't help asking Qi Jiguang a question.

Qi Jiguang just had a sullen face and followed into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Bang!

When Qi Jiguang and Xu Rucheng first came in, they saw a cup of tea flying from Zhu Yijun's hand to Zhang Jing's forehead, and Zhang Jing's tiled hat was covered with water droplets.

Zhang Jing himself said on the ground shaking like a sieve:

"The emperor calm down, this is the factory guard's dereliction of duty, but the factory guard has indeed not received any abnormal situation in the capital camp recently!"

"I don't think my factory guards are incompetent, it's you Zhang Jing who are incompetent!"

"You are incompetent!"

Then, Qi Jiguang and Xu Rucheng saw Zhu Yijun roaring crazily, and almost put his whole face on Zhang Jing's face, and roared at him, making Zhang Jing's eyebrows full of curses.

And Zhang Jing himself didn't dare to reach out to wipe it, but was still trembling, and kowtowed and cried loudly: "What the emperor blames is that the servants are incompetent, and the servants let the emperor down!"

Zhu Yijun looked at Xu Rucheng again at this moment: "What are you secretly happy about?"

Xu Rucheng couldn't help shivering, cold water poured down his back.

"I ask you what are you secretly delighted with?"

Zhu Yijun asked him again.

Xu Rucheng hurriedly kowtowed to the ground, his voice trembling: "Return to your majesty, minister, I just think that Eunuch Zhang deserves to be scolded!"

"Are you right?"

"Let you admiral Jingying, what does your admiral look like?"

"The Prime Minister went to the Beijing camp for inspection, but was attacked by the people from the Beijing camp. How can you make me feel at ease?!"

"My Beijing camp has not reassured me until now. Is it the chronic disease of the Beijing camp that cannot be cured, or is there something wrong with you?"

Zhu Yijun looked at Xu Rucheng and said sharply, "Tell me!"

Xu Rucheng also trembled as if being shocked by electricity:

"Your Majesty, it is clear that there are too many soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp. No one knows whether the seemingly loyal and brave officials are the loyal slaves planted by some powerful and powerful gentry! Woohoo! Of course, the minister is also incompetent. Send troops to search and sweep the houses near the Beijing camp!"

As Xu Rucheng said, he prostrated himself on the ground: "I am willing to be punished!"

"Everyone doesn't care about it. They think that the construction of the new ceremony has nothing to do with me, right? It's just his own business, Master Shen, right? It's just my business to think whoever I appoint as the prime minister, right?"

"Now you know, when people do bad things, it doesn't matter whether you are neutral or not!"

After Zhu Yijun spoke in a tone of hating iron but not steel, he suddenly waved his hands and said, "Get out of here! Prime Minister also retreat!"

Qi Jiguang bowed his hands and said yes, and left the Hall of Mental Cultivation with Xu Rucheng and Zhang Jing.

After Xu Rucheng came out, he wiped his sweat and said, "I just realized that Longwei is so terrifying!"

But that night.

But Zhang Jing came to Zhu Yijun again: "My lord!"

"The forehead injury has been treated?"

At this time, Zhu Yijun asked with concern.
