Chapter 205: Uncle Da and Yuan Jing (Asking for a monthly pass!) )
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the status of military generals has been like Wang Xiaoer's New Year - every year is not as good as a year.
In this country of civil officials, it is about using literature to control the military.
Although the military generals who led the troops to fight, the governors who commanded the troops and the imperial history and military supervisors who supervised the army were all civilian officials.
Although the Longqing period is far from a few decades later, the three rank staff generals have to 'kneel' to the seventh rank of the imperial history, but a bad atmosphere of civil dignity and martial humility has been formed.
Moreover, the civil officials have a natural fear of the military generals who hold the handles of the swords, and they are eager to domesticate them all into little sheep, so that they can sleep at ease.
In such an environment, civilian officials generally have a suspicious, contemptuous, and even unwarranted hostile attitude towards military generals......
Originally, Qi Jiguang thought that he had taken advantage of the merits of resisting the Japanese and was gloriously transferred to the north, and the situation should be better.
After all, he has become Di Qing of the Ming Dynasty, and his credit is known to the sun and the moon, and attacking him will be poked in the backbone by the common people.
But the more this happens, the more frightened the civil servants become.
When they learned that Qi Jiguang led the invincible Qi family army to the north, and was to be stationed in Beijing to take charge of the terrifying Shenji Battalion, they automatically made up all kinds of pictures of Qi Jiguang leading troops to rebel.
Okay, after the civil fort, it took us a hundred years to pinch the army and generals in our hands, and now you have actually trained private soldiers who only know that there are marshals, but you don't know that there are private soldiers in the court!
What if one day we are not happy, and send troops to serve us in a pot?
Even if he doesn't rebel, if the emperor hooks up with such a general who is loyal, able to fight, and has military power in his hands, will his waist harden all of a sudden, and he won't take us seriously?
It's horrible to think about......
In order to prevent the imaginary picture from becoming a reality, the vanguard of the civil official group, the Kedao Yanguan, was dispatched.
Therefore, on the way to transfer troops from the south to the north, the Fujian Inspector Du Huazhong and Shangben impeached Wang Rulong, a general of the Qi family's army, Jin Ke, a guerrilla general, and Zhu Jue, the secretary of the capital, for embezzlement and bending the law, bribing and drilling camps.
According to the rules, once a civil and military official of the Ming Dynasty was impeached by the imperial history, regardless of his official position, he must be immediately suspended at home and wait for further investigation by the imperial court.
As a result, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, together with the Ministry of War, investigated from last year to this year, not only did not give a clear explanation, but also involved Qi Jiguang's deputy general Hu Shouren. said that he recruited power and bribes, ran and lobbied, and tried to exonerate the three people.
Qi Jiguang couldn't sit still now, because it was he, the leading brother of the Qi family's army, who instructed Hu Shouren to do this.
Seeing that if he didn't make a big move, he would be served in a pot, so Qi Jiguang had no choice but to run into the city in person and come to Zhang Juzheng's mansion to ask for help from his thighs.
By the way, after Zhang Juzheng entered the cabinet, he was in charge of the military department.
~~
At this time, Qi Jiguang was worried and full of confusion, and he had completely lost the vigor he had when he went north.
It doesn't matter if he is deliberate, he is really scared by the civil officials, in short, the current Qi Dashuai is really too cautious.
In normal times, he went to the military department to do errands, and he called those principals and even the secretary office brothers, and handed them over.
At this moment, facing a scientific founder who could give lectures in Lingji Palace and teach five Jinshi, Qi Jiguang consciously put his posture extremely low......
Zhao Hao is very uncomfortable about this, but what else can the two sides say when they meet for the first time? can only use a more polite attitude to comfort Qi Dashuai, who has suffered from injustice.
Fortunately, at this time, the son of the house came back and said to Qi Jiguang: "General Qi, my family is invited." ”
He said to Zhao Hao again: "Please wait." ”
"It doesn't matter." Zhao Hao nodded, always talk about the first come, first come.
What's more, let General Qi come first, this son is willing.
When Qi Jiguang followed the porter in, Zhao Hao sat down on the chair he was sitting on just now.
Well, this son is also a person who has a good relationship with General Qi.
When he was secretly refreshed, he saw Gao Wu kneeling in front of him, bowed his head and said in a muffled voice:
"Childe, we ...... just now"
"Get up." Zhao Hao patted Gao Wu's shoulder, and smiled disappretently: "I don't eat Qi Dashuai's vinegar." ”
"Childe ......" Gao Wu looked at the young man in front of him with red eyes, believing that he could die for him.
~~
The words were divided into two ends, Qi Jiguang was not taken to the flower hall in the front yard, but was invited into the study of the back house.
Zhang Juzheng was waiting at the door of the study, although he was at home today, he did not relax his image management.
Today's handsome guy Zhang wears a decent royal blue dark flower straight jacket, wears a black mesh scarf, and his hairstyle and beard are meticulously combed.
is not as imposing as when wearing official uniforms, and there is a kind smile on that always cool face.
"Yuan Jing, let's meet again."
A cordial greeting made Qi Jiguang, who had been cold-eyed recently, wet his eyes and knelt down on one knee under Zhang Xianggong's pomegranate tree.
"The last general Qi Jiguang, meet Xianggong!"
Zhang Juzheng stretched out his hand to help him up, made another gesture of please, and entered the study with Qi Jiguang, and sat down as the guest of honor.
After watching the tea, Zhang Xianggong laughed loudly:
"You came to Beijing as the master, and I have been thinking about it all the time, and I want to have a good chat with you, but I didn't expect it to be delayed again and again, and I didn't see you until today."
"I am fortunate to be able to meet the prime minister, and the last general is already flattered."
Qi Jiguang only half-pulled his left butt and sat on the chair, but he was able to keep his upper body straight and face Zhang Juzheng's difficult posture sideways, which shows that the kung fu of integrating waist and horse is very good.
"Hey, don't be so nervous." Zhang Juzheng smiled and said: "You are born in the year of Wuzi, three years younger than Bugu, we are about the same age, let's get along like friends." ”
"The last will be terrified." Qi Jiguang felt that his heart had melted. said secretly, who said that Zhang Jiangling was arrogant and cold, and he had no eyes left? I think the little officials below are kinder!
Of course, he won't really take Zhang Xianggong's words seriously, other people's superiors are just posturing, you really call others brothers, how naïve is that?
"Okay, in the future, Yuan Jing will always know that Bugu is really friends with you."
Zhang Juzheng also knew that Qi Jiguang would not be able to let go of his hands and feet for a while, so he went with him.
"There are guests in the back, let's make a long story short. Bugu has already asked the Ministry of War about the matter under your command, and those three have indeed found out some problems......"
Qi Jiguang was just about to open his mouth to defend himself, but Zhang Juzheng raised his hand and said with a faint smile:
"Don't Gu know, like them, how can there be a problem that can't be found? Compared with these trivial things, now the rectification of affairs and the training of elite soldiers, Gugyeonggi is the top priority! ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Juzheng's disguised harmony was gone, and he slapped the case with a strong voice:
"Isn't last year's lesson enough? Do you have to let me answer the change in Shizhou once a year to enjoy it? What a bunch of scumbags! ”
Seeing Zhang Xianggong, who was still pleasant at the last moment, suddenly broke out, so frightened that Qi Jiguang didn't dare to breathe.
"I'm sorry Yuan Jing, but I lost my temper. I'm really annoyed by that group of stove chickens......" Zhang Juzheng waved his hand apologetically, and said:
"I have already communicated with Wang Zongxian and Huo Butang on this matter, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of War will make a reply in favor of you in the near future, and close this case as soon as possible, and it will not affect your military training!"
"What would be the result?" Qi Jiguang asked nervously.
"Your deputy general, Hu Shouren, shields his subordinates, and recommends him at will, so he should be admonished." Zhang Juzheng paused, sighed lightly and said:
"As for the three officers, we can't pretend that we don't see the problems that have been found out, and then cut them down to the people...... Otherwise, those stove chickens have been making trouble for half a year, and if nothing is found, I am afraid that they will not give up. ”
Zhang Juzheng couldn't tell Qi Jiguang that with the connivance of Xu Ge Lao, the officials had now swelled out of control.
Although he is the No. 2 person in the Xu Party, if he doesn't give them face at all, they won't give him face either......
