"Is the emperor trying to build another Guanning Iron Horse! How much does it cost? But aren't you the sixth guard in brocade? Qi Jiguang was a little shocked, and his stomach was full of question marks.

There are only more than 40,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry, but they have spent nearly half of the national funds, and although this team is only half of the number, the amount of silver that needs to be spent is definitely indispensable.

Besides, shaking his head, there are as many vague places in the emperor's will as possible, it seems that he is deliberately not understood, he really doesn't know what his sixth guard in brocade looks like in the end, but it is absolutely impossible to become an elite soldier like the Guanning Iron Cavalry, the terrain and climate between the south and the north are too different, and it is impossible to rely on heavy cavalry.

Zhang Juzheng muttered: "It shouldn't be, according to the emperor's intentions, the sixth guard is a combination of infantry and cavalry, and there will not be many cavalry, please help train the soldiers is the best explanation, you have the most experience in training infantry." ”

Zhang Juzheng actually couldn't figure out the emperor's true thoughts, so he could only figure it out with experience, and at the same time, he thought about the biggest help, if it came to military training, Qi Jiguang was of course the best choice, and he happened to be the person he admired the most.

Qi Jiguang nodded in response, thinking about how to help train this army, but he couldn't think about it all of a sudden, how could he not equate Jinyiwei with the regular official army. Jinyiwei relied on the imperial power to do things, the equipment conditions were superior, and they rarely went far away, while the regular officers and soldiers relied on strict military command and long-distance battles, and these two groups of people did not cross the line at all, what standard did they use?

"Qi Shuai, I heard that you have obtained the true inheritance of Yue Wumu from your military training, but is there such a thing?" Besides, he asked with a smile.

Wu Mu's suicide note is a summary of Yue Fei's experience in fighting with soldiers during his lifetime, and it was a public publication in the Song Dynasty. But there is a true legend of military training, Yue Fei is a master of military training, otherwise the Yue family army would not have beaten the invincible Jin soldiers at that time.

"That's true, I have learned Yue Wumu's experience in training troops and benefited a lot." Qi Jiguang admitted with a smile.

"So does the Qi family's boxing method refer to Taizu Changquan or Yue Wumu's boxing method, I haven't heard of how high Yue Wumu's martial arts are?" And that's what I'm really interested in.

Taizu Changquan is the most popular and most common boxing method in the Song Dynasty, it is said to be created by Zhao Kuangyin, there should also be a source, Zhao Kuangyin was known as a hero who beat the world with a stick, and his martial arts should be really high.

"This is actually a family heirloom, whether it has anything to do with Taizu Changquan, I don't know very well, the real Taizu Changquan boxing method is afraid that it has been lost, and what has been handed down is dregs." Qi Jiguang said implicitly.

Besides, nodding and smiling, he didn't ask anymore, since it was a family heirloom, there must be a secret that could not be said to outsiders, just like his acupuncture skills, asking too much is disrespectful to others.

In a side room, more than a dozen of Zhang Juzheng's staff members were also drinking and gossiping, and they were happy to relax for a while when they saw that the adults did not come out.

"When did Qi Jiguang have this treatment, drinking with adults and talking about homely things?" A staff member took a sip of wine and ate a few peanuts and said with a smile.

"It's not that he borrowed the light of Brother Guo, if he came to the door by himself, he would definitely not have this treatment." Another staff member laughed.

Qi Jiguang is famous outside, but when he arrives in Zhang Juzheng's mansion, it is nothing, and his status is not as good as these staff.

"I really didn't say anything about my brother's treatment, why do you think my brother is so good to my brother?" A staff member asked.

"You don't need to ask, they have a good teacher." The man was a little jealous.

"I don't think that's just it, Old Master Chen has many disciples, but it's not just the brother alone, those disciples came to meet the adults in the past, and it would be good to be able to meet and say a few words in person." Another humane.

"But yes, the old master's disciples are now also officials in the court, not to mention that they can make adults pay attention to them, and they can't even enter this gate." Someone said suddenly.

"That is, it's true that Brother Guo is a disciple of Old Master Chen, but I'm afraid this is not his only identity."

More than a dozen people also began to speculate, and they all felt that Chen Musa's students alone would never let Zhang Juzheng treat him like a nephew.

"Do you think the rumors out there are true?" One of them whispered.

"You mean ......"

The rest of the people didn't dare to answer, and it was rumored that he was the emperor's illegitimate son, so the emperor did not hesitate to pay out of his own pocket to build a team for him, and this gossip didn't know where it started, but it was spread in the streets.

At first, there were not many people in the court who believed in gossip, but later when I saw the emperor's unbelievable favor for the situation, the fire of gossip in my heart also burned. That's right, except for his own son, who can put so much effort into pasting his old book?

But why didn't the emperor recognize this son, and then directly crown him as a prince?

The opposing view is so refuted.

Bastard children or something didn't matter at all at the time, not to mention the emperor, even if the people in the big family had blood outside, they would also bring it back to the family to give them an official status, at that time it was a 100% patriarchal world, and illegitimate children did not lose their father's face, but they did not have a high status as a descendant.

At that time, people attached great importance to the spread of incense more than everything, and some men had no offspring, so they desperately wanted to pass on the sons of other brothers, if they were the only seedlings and could not have children, they did not hesitate to borrow seeds to pass on the incense.

Confucius said: There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great. This is an idea that has ruled the nation for 2,000 years, and it is difficult for anyone to think about it without being affected.

"Brothers, be cautious, this is a matter of holiness." A staff member is colorful.

This person has been a prefect, and he still has a strong sense of loyalty to the monarch in his bones.

"Aren't we chatting, I just can't think of a reason for the emperor to do this, what kind of food we eat here, isn't the most important thing to figure out the holy will?" A person who drinks a little too much can't help but tell the truth.

"Brother, what you said is not right, we are helping the adults to deal with the affairs of the court, how can we say that we are figuring out the holy will?"

"Pull it, if you can't figure out the holy will, what kind of government affairs can be done well?" The man sneered.

"Let's not talk about it, according to me, let's talk about some serious things, the adult said a few days ago that if any of us are willing to go over to help Brother Guo, just tell the adult, is anyone willing to go?" The former prefect got down to business.

Speaking of this, everyone fell silent, and no one answered for a while.

The staff of the Zhang Mansion all knew that this was for the sake of the adults, and besides, everything there was newly established, and there were many opportunities to make meritorious contributions there, and it was also advantageous to improve their qualifications. However, giving up the identity of Zhang Juzheng's staff to be a staff member, they are really a little unable to pull down, and they were originally their little brothers, how can they rise to prominence like a rocket?

Being a staff member in Zhang's Mansion is not only related to the future future, but also has status, it is nothing in this mansion, once you go out, even the ministers of the Ministry will treat each other politely when they see them, and they are very polite.

"Brother Miao, you are still young, I think it is good to work hard, brother, I am old, let's live a peaceful life here." A staff member in his fifties sighed.

"I think it's more worthwhile to work here, to be honest, no matter how much the emperor and the adults reuse the brothers, I'm still a little worried." The staff member surnamed Miao shook his head.

He has no ill will in the matter, he just thinks that he is too young to bear this heavy responsibility, if he is just a high-ranking official and enjoys honor, then there is no problem, but it is not possible to do a big career, and in their eyes, he is a smart child, and it will take twenty years of hard work to grow up.

Doing a career is not writing articles, nor is it doing poetry and painting, those can become famous overnight with talent, and you have to start step by step to do business, and there is no shortcut to be found at all.

"I can't say that, Qi Jiguang wasn't much older than his brothers when he started his family, didn't he also make great contributions." The old staff member sipped.

"That's working the battlefield, and doing things in the court is not the same thing." One of the staff members said dismissively.

They are the most familiar with the doorways of the court, and they know what is the most difficult thing to do in this world, that is, to be officials. If you just boil your qualifications in the officialdom, and then climb up step by step with peace of mind, no matter how good the relationship is, it is not very difficult, but it is even more difficult to do something in the court than to ascend to the sky, don't talk about others, just say Wang Yangming, who can compare with the ability? At that time, he was also a person who wanted to do a big business, but he was squeezed out by all factions in the court, and finally died of depression.

Of course, Wang Yangming has already established his immortal status just by virtue of his exploits in pacifying King Ning's rebellion, not to mention that he is still a great master of heart studies with disciples all over the world, but it is obvious to all that nothing has been achieved after pacifying King Ning's rebellion.

In the Yuwang Mansion back then, Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong desperately tried their best to protect the emperor who was still King Yu at that time, and the ups and downs of those years can be described as thrilling, and some people who have long been around Zhang Juzheng recall those years and can't help but sigh.

Why do Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng say everything now, even the emperor never refuses it, it is the credit made at that time, that is called a great cause, although people outside do not know the merits, but they also understand this truth.

Although this credit is not as good as the national teacher Daoyan who helped Zhu Di to the throne of the emperor when he was Jianwen, there are also all kinds of hardships and hardships that are not known to outsiders. Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and Chen Yiqin also risked their lives to do it at that time, and if they succeeded, the king would be defeated, and if they took a wrong step, their heads would move, and the catastrophe of raiding their homes and destroying their doors could happen at any time.

After the national teacher Daoyan put Zhu Di on the throne of the emperor, he did nothing else, but he saved two people, one was the crown prince, who was later Emperor Renzong, and the other was Emperor Jianwen, who was in exile.

One of these two people is the crown prince who Zhu Di is planning to abolish at all times, and the other is the former emperor that Zhu Di wants to find in the heavens and the earth, but in Daoyan, he covered the world with one hand, and he failed to fulfill his wish.

The oldest staff member was by Zhang Juzheng's side at that time and witnessed all this with his own eyes, so he no longer thinks about fame and wealth now, and just wants to enjoy his old age here with Zhang Juzheng. It is said that he can't be a staff member at all at his age, which is also the reward for him not to abandon and follow Zhang Juzheng wholeheartedly.

Everyone should have a mirror in their heart, not only to others but also to themselves.
