readx;
After Qi Zhaoguang served as a general soldier in Guangdong for a year and a half, he was impeached by the officials, saying that he deducted military salaries, and this crime can be big or small, killing the head and exterminating the clan, and reprimanding him can also be done.

However, everyone understands that this is to let Qi Jiguang tell his old age, according to Jinyiwei's report and local news in Guangdong, Qi Jiguang had already started to train sailors, but after this impeachment, he was also disheartened, and he asked for resignation.
If you don't read the merits, there is also hard work, how can the court punish the crime, and directly approved the recital of suing the old man and returning to his hometown, as for the crime was not mentioned, this is approved, and the court immediately praised Qi Jiguang's meritorious deeds, please repair the mansion for Qi Jiguang in Dengzhou, and reward him generously, incidentally, the person who wrote this recital and the one who impeached Qi Jiguang are the same official.
The general is in charge of the army, the power of life and death is in hand, it seems that there is a spirit in the body, and all diseases are not invaded, but once there is no military power, go home to retire, although you can rest, and you can be pampered, it is a better recuperation for the body, but on the contrary, for example, Qi Jiguang and other people who are dedicated to the military of the Ming Dynasty, not long after returning home to retire, they are lonely and unhappy, and their spirit and body have collapsed.
Although he was a famous general in the world, because the imprint of Zhang Juzheng's era was too heavy, Emperor Wanli could not allow him to control military power, and the officials below naturally understood this truth.
When the news of Qi Jiguang's death reached the palace, Emperor Wanli was also embarrassed, and he had to reward the Qi family in Dengzhou, and the two children born to Qi Jiguang's concubine also got fame and wealth.
Qi Jiguang went, and the famous general withered again, and some people in the Beijing Division sighed, but most people's attention was not on it, and the eunuch Zhang Cheng's announcement of the old man was the most eye-catching thing, and this position was equivalent to the prime minister, and the change of this position involved the political situation in the world.
There is no reason, why did Zhang Cheng sue the old man, could it be that he had committed some crime, or what kind of struggle there was in the palace, everyone didn't know? Everyone was guessing, but within a few days, everyone realized that Zhang Cheng was indeed telling the old man, because no matter what the news, it was impossible for everyone in Jingshi to know nothing.
Eunuchs are slaves of the Son of Heaven, and they don't have any personal freedom, they do what errands they do, they have to do it all the time, or they die of old age, but Zhang Cheng can sue the old beggar bones with such an identity, of course, taking the initiative to resign from the position of the celebrant can only be to sue the old, and it is inappropriate to use anything else.
Zhang Cheng's old state is full of news, there are many people who are qualified in Beijing at this time, the news that came out of the palace is also this, Zhang Cheng himself said that his mental and physical strength are declining greatly, and he is on an errand in a pivotal place, if there is any omission, it is better to delay the country's major events or let the virtuous early.
Emperor Wanli did not retain Zhang Cheng, and the person who was transferred to the position of the eunuch in charge of the seal of the celebrant was Tian Yi, which was expected by everyone, and it was unexpected.
Tian Yi is not Zhang Cheng's lineage, everyone knows this, everyone thought that Zhang Cheng would find a reason to kick Tian Yi out of the celebrant during the period when he was in charge of the celebrant Tian Yi is also cautious and cautious on weekdays, and the inner court laughed and said that he was the secretary of the ceremonial supervisor, that is, he didn't have any idea of his own, just listened to the order.
But he didn't expect that this time he got good luck, and suddenly changed from a eunuch to a celebrant eunuch, because Tian Yi and Zhang Cheng are not a faction, and Emperor Wanli's failure to retain and appoint Tian Yi made people outside the palace speculate, but the next appointment broke their speculation.
The Imperial Horse Eunuch Seal Eunuch Department is the Celebrant Eunuch, the Governor of Dongchang, a former eunuch Wang An, became a Bingbi eunuch, this Wang An acted cautiously and carefully, and was a loyal person, who was elected by Zhang Cheng and Tian Yi together.
Buyi is Zhang Cheng's righteous son, and his entry into the celebrant undoubtedly represents the attitude of Emperor Wanli, and also dispells the suspicions of everyone outside the palace. …………
"It's really the same as what Brother Wang said, the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch palm seal is hanging empty, and the eunuchs of several prisons are active, but they have all been reprimanded back, according to the news that has come out, the supervising eunuch and the admiral eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch at the moment have to report to Gonggong Zhao?" , Lu Wancai was in Wang Tong's study, laughing and talking about it, he came to visit Wang Tong, and Lu Wancai's wife also went to the inner house to meet Han Xia and them, this kind of good family is the easiest to get closer.
"Zhao Gonggong", naturally Zhao Jinliang, who is only sixteen years old this year, is still in charge of the errand of the celebrant Liukelang, but now the two great eunuchs of the imperial horse eunuch want to report to him, which is also a scene.
"Although Xiao Liang is smart, what can Ji do this year, it's not that His Majesty wants to personally capture the soldiers."
As long as the two of them are here, there is nothing taboo for Wang Tong to speak, the folding fan in Lu Wancai's hand shook, nodded with a smile and said: "Your Majesty is not worried about the ministers, and he is also jealous of the ministers, and the market of Brother Wang is going to rise, this is a great thing, even with the brothers, they are blessed!" "How can it be high, and if it rises again, it will not be a blessing or a curse!" ”
Wang informed Lu Wancai that he was joking again, and he also said with a smile, Lu Wancai laughed a few times, and people followed the way!
"It's one thing to be an official title, but it's another thing to be a saint, right now"
"Big Inner Father-in-law to nnn"
There are pro-soldiers outside, and now the identity of the ministry is different, but everyone in Wang Tong's mansion is also acquaintances, and there are not so many false courtesies.
While speaking, Buyi had already walked in, and after coming in, he was accompanied by two little eunuchs, and Buyi said solemnly: "Long live the lord has an edict, and Wang Tong will take the order." ”
The holy decree can be big or small, but it is the matter of letting Wang Tong accompany Zhang Cheng to Tianjin Wei, after passing this message, the two entourage of the little eunuchs were sent out, and the three of them sat down, and poured tea and water again.
Huang Yang, who taught the Huwei Martial Arts Pavilion back then, was old, and the grace in the palace allowed him to leave the palace to be taken by his children and nephews to support the elderly, Zhang Cheng's face was even more sufficient, and he retired without making a mistake, and Emperor Wanli had to be generous.
"My father-in-law said that I have been in the palace for so long, and when I am old, I want to go to Tianjin to live for a few years, and see the new things over there. , Wang Tong noticed that there has been a small change in the title of Zhang Cheng by Buyi, in the past, he was generally called "Father-in-law" or "Father-in-law Zhang", but now it has become a "father-in-law" Status has changed, and his mentality has also changed.
After chatting a few words, the topic changed, talking about what he saw in the palace today, Bangyi was also quite emotional, Zhang Cheng went to the Wanli Emperor to say goodbye, what he said was no political affairs, and he didn't say anything about the personnel in the palace, but he chattered about letting the Wanli Emperor pay attention to some trivial details.
For example, he told Emperor Wanli to remember to dress more when it is cold, don't be reckless and contracted with wind and cold, and when it's hot, don't drink any cold juice to hurt your stomach............ Wait, wait, say that Emperor Wanli was a little impatient at the beginning, but his eyes turned red when he heard it.
Zhang Cheng took care of the escort with Feng Bao when Emperor Wanli was very young, and later accompanied Emperor Wanli until now, and experienced a lot of ups and downs, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an elder and a child.
After everyone sighed, they talked about the future situation, but there was something in the ministry that was responsible: "That Tian Yi turned out to be Feng Bao's student, and Feng Bao's disciples and grandchildren are still in control of the various yamen in the inner court. ”
Wang Tong didn't speak, but Lu Wancai said with a smile: "Father-in-law Zou doesn't have to worry, if Tian Yi dares to collude up and down, then this position will not be long-lasting, Your Majesty let your father-in-law supervise Dongchang, isn't it just staring at him?" Buyi was stunned for a moment, exchanged glances with the three of them, and they all laughed out loud together, Wang Tong was fine, but Jia Yi and Lu Wancai were a little complacent, Wang Tong was in charge of Jinyiwei, Jiaoyi was in charge of Dongchang, and Lu Wancai was in charge of Shuntianfu, and this situation was very good.
............, escort Zhang Cheng to Tianjin Wei, even if Emperor Wanli did not arrange this errand, Wang Tong would go in person, after all, Tianjin Wei was run by him, and it was natural to arrange it in the past.
When Zhang Cheng went out of the imperial city, Buyi, Zhao Jinliang and the relatives and believers of the various yamen in the inner court came to see him off, and after a bit of farewell, Zhang Cheng asked them to go back, knelt down outside the gate of the imperial city, kowtowed a few times in the direction of the Qianqing Palace, and when he got up, he was already in tears.
Wang Tong didn't feel good in his heart, and he scolded a few words, but Zhang Cheng, who has always been the prime minister's bearing, couldn't control it, and tears kept flowing.
Zhang Cheng didn't take out anything from the palace, just a bag and a few clothes, very Xiao Suo's appearance, after leaving the palace, Wang Tong's side is also ready, there are already four ** carriages ready, please Zhang Cheng got into the carriage, Wang Tong led the guards to ride horses.
Out of the Beijing Division, Ma Sanbiao was a little emotional, he had been with Wang Tong for a long time, and he also had contact with the eunuchs in the palace, and he knew more than others, so he was particularly touched: "Master Hou, this father-in-law was so beautiful back then, look at it now, it's just a few clothes and a burden, this person!" Wang Tong shook his head, but he didn't speak, but Ma Sanbiao didn't say something right, Zhang Cheng must have the silver ticket of Sanjiang Qianzhuang on his body or in his baggage, at least one and a half million taels, and a lot of silver money is handled by Wang Tong, so he naturally knows.
Of course, compared to the powerful position in the palace and the world, no amount of silver is nothing, and it is inevitable that Zhang Cheng will feel sorry in his heart.
"The place in the car is wide, Wang Tong come in and talk to our family." After leaving Tongzhou, Zhang Cheng beckoned Wang Tong to enter the carriage, and when he entered the carriage, Wang Tong found that in less than half a month, Zhang Cheng was old and haggard, but it was also much easier than before.
