Besides, although he is a frequent visitor to Zhang Juzheng's mansion, there are not many opportunities to drink and chat, and today is a rare opportunity, of course, I have to drink two glasses.

"My lord, what about the people out there waiting for your summons?" Besides, he laughed.

"They'll have to do another day, and it doesn't matter anyway."

Zhang Juzheng called the housekeeper and asked him to go out and come back another day to the people who were waiting outside to be summoned, saying that the adults would not see the guests today.

Then he had some dried fruits and other things to be brought, and a jar of wine.

"Qi Shuai, this is still given to me by Yunming, I think it has a different taste than the emperor rewarded me. I don't have much here, so you can try it too. ”

"Thank you, my lord, if you say yes, it must be good." Qi Jiguang said.

Besides, it's fun to see it, isn't this the wine made by Zhou Wenbin's family themselves, it is indeed much better than ordinary tribute wine, but if you want to say that there is no better wine in the emperor's wine cellar, who believes it.

These wines were specially transported to Zhou Dingcheng by the Zhou family, so naturally he couldn't be missing, and he didn't like wine, and he couldn't taste any wine, Zhou Dingcheng liked wine very much, and the wine he received every month basically fell into his stomach. Besides, last year, I gave Zhang Juzheng ten jars of Zhoufu's home-brewed wine, but I didn't expect Zhang Juzheng to like it.

A servant came up and poured wine for the three of them, and Zhang Juzheng let him out, saying that he was coming by himself.

"If you like this wine, I still have a lot of it, and I'll ask someone to bring some more tomorrow." Besides.

Zhang Juzheng shook his head with a smile: "No need, I rarely drink alcohol, I drank the medicinal wine you prepared for me last year very comfortably, when will I prepare another batch." ”

Besides, he nodded in agreement.

At the end of last year, Zhang Juzheng asked him to check his pulse, and found that his kidney yuan was a little deficient, his heart and blood were insufficient, and sometimes he was dizzy, and his energy was naturally insufficient. Moreover, I prepared several jars of medicinal wine, and of course the wine was the best, not to mention the traditional Chinese medicine, which used the best materials.

Qi Jiguang took a sip of wine and praised; "Good wine, indeed a good wine that is rarely drunk, where did you buy it?"

Besides, he smiled: "It was given by a friend, and it can't be bought on the market, and their own home-brewed wine is only drunk at home." ”

Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "Zhou Huangshang, you should have heard of it." ”

"The richest man in Jiangnan? Of course, I've heard of it, but it turns out to be their family's wine. Brother Yunming, can you give me a jar of this wine? Qi Jiguang drank a glass of wine, and he knew the taste even more.

"Of course, I still have more than a dozen jars there, if Qi Shuai likes it, he will send someone to transport it away one day." Besides, he laughed.

"Haha, there are so many, enough for me to drink for a year." Qi Jiguang was overjoyed.

"If Qi Shuai helps me train as a good soldier, I will cover all the wine that Qi Shuai drinks every year in the future, and this is the kind of wine." Besides.

"Okay, that's a deal." Qi Jiguang and besides, he gave a high-five.

The age difference between the two is actually a generation, but in front of Zhang Juzheng, they have the feeling of being equals, speaking of which they are both Zhang Juzheng's protégés and juniors, and they are indeed similar in terms of generation.

The three of them drank slowly, talking about some things in the court, recently because of the opening of the sea ban, the court has been clearly divided into two factions, one is Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng system of people, advocating the opening of the sea ban, on the other hand is stubbornly adhere to the Taizu Sermon and coastal Hao clan forces of the people, desperately oppose the opening of the sea ban, in their mouths, if the sea ban is opened, the country will not be a country, and the country handed down by the ancestors and ancestors will be lost in the hands of these traitors who advocate the release of the sea ban.

"Traitor?" Besides, with his mouth wide open, the hat was actually put on his head.

Zhang Juzheng smiled: "Yes, traitor, and you are listed first." ”

Besides, when I touched my head, I felt that this thing was in danger.

Qi Jiguang smiled: "Brother Yunming, how could you think of the matter of opening the sea ban?" I didn't think about the consequences. To be honest, I'm a bold person, I've never been afraid of the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood or anything, but I was really shocked when I heard others say that you advocated the opening of the sea ban, and to be honest, I don't have the courage. ”

Moreover, he smiled bitterly: "I am young and shallow, and the ignorant are fearless." ”

"You are humble, but don't fool me. My lord said that you always look ahead and plan to act, and you will never be reckless and impulsive. Qi Jiguang said with a smile.

"I'm not impulsive? The emperor appointed me to form the sixth guard, and within a few days of my appointment, I fought with people and was imprisoned in Nanzhen Fusi, and almost lost my life. Besides, he laughed at himself.

"What's the weapon fight, that is, it's a matter in the capital, if it's in another province, it often happens, as long as you don't kill or injure too many people, no one will impeach you." Qi Jiguang said.

"The officers and soldiers also have weapons?" Besides, he was surprised.

"Of course there is, if the troops are stationed not far from each other, bumps and bumps are commonplace, especially those ruffians, it is not good to fight seriously, and it is a top ten to provoke a fight, and then the commander has to wipe their butts." Qi Jiguang said with a smile.

"How do I sound like that kind of ruffian?" Besides, embarrassed.

"No, no, by no means you. The ruffians are completely different from you. Qi Jiguang hurriedly waved his hand.

Zhang Juzheng laughed when he heard this: "You can't be a soldier, you can't even be a soldier, you can only be a soldier." ”

Qi Jiguang looked at Zhang Juzheng, nodded and said, "My lord, did the emperor promote Brother Yunming because of that piece of music and his love for talent?" Among the children of meritorious families, such talents are indeed rare. ”

Zhang Juzheng smiled bitterly: "You all think I have the answer, and people outside think that I am behind him to give advice, and the emperor also reuses him because of me." It's all wrong, I don't know. On the contrary, I have asked the emperor many times not to reuse him for the time being, let him study hard for another ten years, and then come out to serve the country, and Gao Xiang has also said such things a few times. The emperor always said yes to his face, but he didn't take our advice later. ”

Qi Jiguang said with a smile: "Everyone in the world thinks that as long as you and Gao Xiang raise the matter, the emperor will not refuse. ”

Zhang Juzheng nodded and said: "I don't have such a big face, but Gao Xiang does have it, how many years, as long as Gao Xiang says something, even if the emperor has a different opinion in his heart, he will do what Gao Xiang said." However, in the matter of Yunming, the emperor neither consulted with us nor listened to our advice. ”

Qi Jiguang said with a smile: "Brother Yunming, the emperor looks at you differently, is it because of the meritorious family, or because of the respect for the teacher?" ”

Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang have talked a lot about things, about the life experience, Zhang Juzheng also knows very little, and even less about Qi Jiguang, Qi Jiguang only knows that he is the second son of the Marquis of Wucheng, and the teacher is Chen Musha, the current master of science, not only has a good relationship with Zhang Juzheng, but also has friends with the emperor's father and son, so Qi Jiguang guessed like this.

Besides, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, and answered Qi Jiguang's inquiry with a confused expression.

"Neither?" Qi Jiguang was puzzled.

"Don't guess, even people who know the emperor like Gao Xiang admit it, and they can't understand the reason why the emperor did this." Zhang Juzheng said.

"Brother, you are really the luckiest person in this dynasty now, and your future is limitless." Qi Jiguang said with envy.

His envy is also reasonable, when he first entered the career, he also inherited the ancestral shade, from the Dengzhou Wei command of the affairs, and later in various places, especially in Fujian, Guangdong and the pirates of the Japanese for more than ten years, outstanding achievements, now is just the Jizhou chief military officer, or because Zhang Juzheng said good things for him, this got the title of the prince Taibao. Moreover, he is also a newcomer, except for the title of palace protector, almost one step parallel to him, if you talk about the saint, then compare him to the country of Java.

That's why he wondered, the children of the meritorious family would not be like this, besides, why could they be so lucky?

In fact, it's a stomach full of bitter water, and I don't want to vomit. Even the high arch Zhang Juzheng couldn't intercede for him, he died of his heart, and he was at ease as a brick, and the emperor could move it wherever he wanted.

Zhang Juzheng did not give up, he kept communicating with Chen Musa, and the two were also thinking of various ways to get rid of the situation, but there was no good way.

Zhang Juzheng knew that Chen Musa had written many letters to the emperor that were not very polite, and his attitude was extremely tough, asking the emperor to let his disciples go back to their hometown to study. The emperor just said good things perfunctory to Chen Musa, and played a trick that Wang Gu said about him left and right.

Besides, the matter of being reused like never before, outsiders looked envious, and they had the intention to kill it and replace it, there are not many people who really understand the suffering, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng are two of them.

Besides, he never felt any holy grace, all he felt was boundless murderous intent.

He was anxious to succeed in military training, just because he wanted to leave the huge prison cage of the capital as soon as possible and return to Jiangnan, even if he went to Fujian and Guangdong to fight with the Japanese invaders, it was better than in the capital.

Zhang Juzheng glanced at the situation and sighed: "Yunming, you bear with it first, do the current thing well, and there may not be no turnaround in the future." Now that Qi Shuai is helping you, things are much easier. ”

Qi Jiguang was a little confused when he heard this, he didn't know what Zhang Juzheng meant by forbearance, as for letting him help, of course, it would not be a problem to train the troops.

"Yunming, don't worry, as long as you can trust me, I promise to help you build an elite army." Qi Jiguang patted his chest and said.

He didn't say it casually, in terms of military training alone, there was absolutely no one among the meritorious generals who surpassed him, which was also the capital of his life.

"By the way, how many people have you recruited now?" Qi Jiguang asked again.

"It's in the early 20,000s, and the results are not ideal." Besides, he was a little embarrassed.

"What? Twenty thousand!!"

Qi Jiguang was shocked, the number one Niu Fork army he was training in Dengzhou was not there. I think that the first Qi family army he trained back then was only 3,000 people, and the imperial court was still difficult for him in terms of funds, weapons and equipment.

20,000 people, that's too much, isn't it?

He was a little convinced, the emperor might really want to send him to fight pirates and pirates, otherwise there was absolutely no need for him to train such a large new army.
