This is the northernmost point of the Grand Canal.

After more than ten days of heavy snowfall, the sky was full of lead-colored black clouds, and the snow showed no signs of stopping.

It was already the end of the forty-third year of Jiajing, although the weather was not very good, but the entire Ming Dynasty suddenly had a spirit since it cut off the bandits in the southeast. Although the centigold system has been abolished, it has been in practice for nearly two years, and without the huge military expenditure, the big hole in the treasury has not continued to grow.

With the annihilation of the Japanese invaders one by one, the vitality of the country seems to be recovering.

All thanks to Wu Jie's series of victories in the southeast, his name is now completely loud.

At this moment, in an ordinary official boat, Wu Jie was sitting quietly by the fire and reading the newspaper.

It seems that nothing major has happened in the past few months, but there are two pieces of news in the Di newspaper that still make him pay attention.

The first is the arrest of Hai Rui, it is said that when Hai Qingtian was an official in Nanjing, he was too straightforward and honest to go with everyone, and he was very excluded. Later, because his fame was too great, everyone felt that his fish was too big and it was not suitable to stay in Nanjing, so they promoted him to Beijing as a royal envoy. If you want to make trouble, go to the emperor to make trouble, and someone will be able to control you.

Sure enough, this Haida man has not stopped since he entered Beijing, and he has been impeached with bullets at both ends in three days. In the end, he was impeached to the emperor, saying that the emperor was extremely poor and luxurious, and his life was erosive, making the people miserable.

Sure enough, it angered Jiajing, and the emperor was not polite, and directly asked Jinyiwei to arrest him.

Today, Haida is still locked up in the prison of Beiya. It is estimated that he will not be released until Jiajing dies.

Wu Jie looked at the newspaper in his hand. He shook his head helplessly. He had also vaguely heard about this in Nanjing, as if the emperor saw that the treasury was not so tight, and he stopped fighting. wanted to get him a few more taels of silver to build a few palaces, but Hai Rui came out and choked.

"This emperor is really a master who can spend money. Seeing that life can finally go on. I want to spend ahead of time. ”

Another piece of news is that the imperial envoy Li Hu impeached Hu Zongxian for embezzlement and perverting the law and losing his salary, saying that he had already obtained conclusive evidence.

So, the emperor ordered Hu Zongxian to go to Beijing to report on his work, and by the way, he defended himself.

It seems that Jiajing is going to be an opponent of the Yan Party.

He smiled, tossed the newspaper aside, and put his hand on the stove.

The war in the south has subsided, and there is no longer a single Japanese robber in the whole of Fujian. Wu Jie's mission has been completed. Naturally, he would not stay in Fujian any longer, so he brought his family with him. Take a boat along the Grand Canal and head north back to the capital.

It's strange to say. Qi Jiguang and his subordinates were rewarded for their military exploits, but Wu Jie was still an ordinary Hanlin Academy compiler.

Wu Jie had no interest in rewarding him. The bachelor of the Hanlin Academy is the prime minister, and he will enter the cabinet in the future, so he will naturally not be awarded other official positions.

It is estimated that he will train for more than ten years, directly enter the cabinet, and concurrently serve as the squire of the sixth department, right?

It's so cold, I haven't been back for almost a year, and I can't stand the cold in the north.

The hand is still the same hand, but it is not as fair and slender as before. The fingers are thick, the skin is rough, and in some places there are cracks. He has led troops in Fujian for so long, and he has been bent on making a prosperous and prosperous world, and retaining more vitality for the country. Or in order to make contributions, Wu Jie came and went in the wind and rain, and galloped along the coast of Fujian with Qi Jiguang. The skin is also dark, the person is strong, and the bookish aura on the body is replaced by a vigorous and heroic spirit.

"Master, your hands are cracked." Next to him, the moth grabbed Wu Jie's hand distressedly and carefully applied the grease. …,

"It doesn't matter, it's mainly cold, I haven't been back for more than half a year, but it's a little unbearable." Wu Jie held the moth's hand.

Moth: "yes, it's so cold, I'm still not used to the northern winter." However, in the past six months, you have traveled in the south with my master, which has greatly opened my eyes. The master's love for the concubine is really unrequitable. Speaking of which, the concubine is much luckier than Sister Tang. ”

Speaking of Tang Mi, Wu Jie showed a smile, and then a trace of annoyance. As early as a few days ago, there was an express ship in the capital to report that Miss Tang was born, it was a girl, please give it a name.

This Li Shizhen is really a god, and he can actually reflect and judge whether the child in the belly of a pregnant woman is male or female, which is better than X-rays.

Wu Jie is now in the minds of the world, it is simply Wang Yangming's rebirth. The article everyone, a generation of poets, and Shilin leaders, will get off the horse, and say something ugly, if he dies in the future, a Wen Zhenggong's eridium number will not be able to run.

But now that she suddenly has an illegitimate daughter, and she is also a Taoist female cultivator's grandmaster, no matter how you look at it, it is a loss of private morality, and this stain cannot be escaped.

However, being a father is always a joyful thing, and a son and a daughter are really a blessing!

Now that Qiang'er is able to run all over the ground, in two years, he will be able to hire a teacher to teach him to read. However, this child seems to have no aura, and is an obedient and honest child. This is probably a genetic relationship, Wu Jie's champion relies on plagiarism, in fact, he is an ordinary person. However, it is enough for the child to be able to live a peaceful life.

"Master, this Sister Tang has even given birth to a child, and she can't stay in the Taoist temple all the time, when will she take over the family?" Moth cares about Tang Milai.

Wu nodded his head: "I still have to ask Your Majesty for a favor, but I bought a big mansion, and this time I went back to Beijing, but I moved to a new home." ”

"Ah, moving, why haven't you heard of it?" The moth is also happy, there are more and more people in the family, and the place where he used to live is obviously not crowded.

"It was said in the letter from Shui Sheng, that is, Zhao Wenhua's house in the past, after it was not confiscated, it was sold to us, and he took care of it." When it comes to aquaticism, Wu Jie just smiles.

This kid is a good hand in war, and he is fierce, after making military achievements in Hengyu, Wu Jiebao promoted him to a military position of the seventh grade, and now he is working as a deputy commander in the Terracotta Division of the Five Cities of Beijing, and he returned to Beijing as early as two months ago.

At that time, he also thought about promoting Lian Laosan, but even Laosan couldn't obey him, saying that he wanted to stay in the Wu family for the rest of his life, and Wu Jie had no choice but to let him.

This trip to Fujian has gained a lot, mainly financially.

After taking Hengyu, the Japanese robbers on the island robbed more than 300,000 taels of silver, of which 100,000 taels were used to reward meritorious soldiers and compensate the fallen soldiers, and the rest were divided up by generals such as Wu Jie and Qi Jiguang.

After this battle, Wu Jie got 100,000 taels. Then a few more battles were fought, and hundreds of thousands were won.

In one year, Wu Jie's family property reached 300,000 taels, and all of them were legal income.

This is what he fought on the battlefield, and no one else would say anything.

As he was talking, suddenly someone from outside the cabin came to report: "My lord, Governor Hu of the Yamen, the governor of Zhejiang, please come over and speak." ”

Wu Jie walked onto the deck and looked up, there was a huge fleet of ships behind him, about ten or two ships: "Coincidentally, I actually did all the way with Hu Zongxian." ”
