"Yes, Your Majesty, in the Wa Kingdom, because of the annual wars, the great names of the states are very exploited and have no time to farm, so people are as cheap as animals, according to the minister's investigation of the reverse birth, only in Hirado, only Xiyi has as many as 50,000 Japanese slaves, especially female Japanese slaves, all of whom have died in large numbers due to the impermanence of the attack, and these female Japanese slaves are mostly used as maidservants, or directly used as prostitutes to sell themselves to make money."

Qi Jiguang said at this time.

Zhu Yijun sighed after hearing this, and then said: "The Dongyinu chief is not the lord of benevolence, I inherit the mandate of heaven, and I should cut it down in the future to calm the world!" ”

"Your Majesty is a benevolent and virtuous holy monarch, so naturally he still has compassion when he hears such a thing. However, it is their blessing that they can be His Majesty's dogs, after all, it must be better to be able to watch the village for His Majesty in the Huangzhuang than to be a person in the Wa Kingdom. ”

Qi Jiguang said at this time.

Zhu Yijun nodded and said, "Since this is the case, and you still bought it yourself, I will have all your loyalty." ”

"The emperor's grace is vast, and it is difficult to repay the ministers for their efforts, not to mention that they are just some dogs, Your Majesty is willing to fulfill the minister's intention of repaying one or two, and the minister's heart is very happy."

Qi Jiguang continued to speak at this time.

"Stand down, go back and meet your family, I won't leave you to eat in the palace."

Zhu Yijun now likes this talking historical general more and more, so he said with a smile, and said: "It's cold at night, give Qing a piece of Dayu to avoid the spring cold; In addition, the python robe will be worn and will be used in the political hall tomorrow. ”

Zhu Yijun said and asked the eunuch to prepare.

Qi Jiguang knew that the dogs he gave would not be given away in vain, so he hurriedly thanked him on the ground, and only left the palace after receiving the reward.

After Qi Jiguang left the palace, he did not go home directly, but went to see Fang Fengshi first, and talked about what he encountered in the Wa Kingdom, and said: "Do you think that the cardinal minister will give up next?" ”

Fang Fengshi pondered for a moment after hearing this, and said: "Taking people's money is like killing your parents." However, if people are too greedy and only want to eat it alone, they will have no friends. The sage said that those who have attained the Tao will have much help, and those who have lost the Tao will have little help, so the public does not need to worry too much. ”

"What the cardinal minister said is naturally reasonable, but I'm afraid that Yuanfu will not return to power all the time, and the monarch and ministers will be suspicious."

Qi Jiguang said.

Fang Fengshi nodded: "Your Majesty has grown up, and Yuanfu has indeed reached the point where he has to return to power, but when he is still in power, can Your Majesty withstand the counterattack of those who are dissatisfied with Yuanfu in the world?" ”

"That's what worries people too."

Qi Jiguang replied.

Fang Fengshi thought about it and said: "It's time to think about the danger, and look at the holy will in the future, if the holy will wants to retreat, then retreat!" ”

As Fang Fengshi spoke, Qi Jiguang smiled and said, "Gong doesn't have to worry too much, he has already retreated." ”

"It is Your Majesty's grace to be able to retire early, and the contemptible people are only afraid of weak morality and can't afford it."

Qi Jiguang replied with a smile, then twisted his eyebrows and said: "The contemptible people are just worried about the old subordinates, they have followed the contemptible people to fight in the south and the north for so many years, and many people have not won a wife." ”

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty is chasing after the king of Yao Shun, and he will not let the virtuous people be dusted and treat the countrymen slowly."

Fang Fengshi said.

Qi Jiguang nodded, and saw that Fang Feng did not mean to take over Zhang Juzheng, so he had to change the topic and said: "The contemptible people brought some dogs back, and I heard that Yuanfu and the cardinal minister both like to raise dogs, so they sent some to your mansion, and I hope that the cardinal minister will accept it and play, anyway, it is not worth any money, it is considered a tuyi, and it is all bought by the contemptible people themselves, and they did not dare to use the official money." ”

"I haven't used a dog yet, thank you for your kindness."

Fang Fengshi smiled after hearing this.

Qi Jiguang said again: "Yuanfu is there, please also ask the cardinal minister to transfer some on his behalf, and it is not appropriate to see the cabinet ministers again." ”

Fang nodded at the right time: "Don't worry." ”

Then, Fang Fengshi asked: "The prince came to visit late at night and didn't go home, presumably not only to send the dog, but also because your lady was ordered to come to Beijing to participate in the marriage of the princess and the horse, and did not dare to go back?" ”

Qi Jiguang arched his hand: "I'm smiling." ”

"Let's go back and talk, don't make jokes at the wedding in the future, after all, I also advocated this marriage at the beginning, and I intended to ask your mansion to be an example for the country."

Fang persuaded at the right time.

Qi Jiguang bowed his head, and it was not good to stay for a long time.

"Master, it's here!"

When he arrived in front of his house in Beijing, Qi Jiguang's family called out.

"So fast?"

Qi Jiguang said a word, and then said: "Turn around and go to the Shandong Hall." ”

"Is this going to pass through the house without entering?"

"Or is there an outer room again?"

At this time, Wang's voice came from outside.

Qi Jiguang's body couldn't help but tremble.

"I've seen Madame!"

The housekeepers outside had already knelt down first.

And after a long while, Qi Jiguang lifted the sedan curtain and said with a smile: "Madame said that I am laughing, how dare I raise the outer room again, now I have five sons." ”

"Aren't you still satisfied?"

"What you said yourself, it's still close to being able to really contribute to the country."

Wang replied with a sneer.

Qi Jiguang on the side couldn't help but hang his head for a while.

"It's not that good! Fortunately, thanks to the grace of heaven, and can see the grandchildren after the vein of the heavenly family. ”

Qi Jiguang said.

Qi Jiguang's sons bowed their heads again.

Wang: "......"

Then, Wang said: "Don't worry, because of this grace, I won't quarrel with you, and I won't go to my mother's house again, after all, I am not an ordinary general, I will let me set an example for my relatives, the palace lady has already passed the word, I naturally understand." It's just that you can't really take your sophistication and sleekness as anything else, and I think they should be like you, wagging their tails in front of those ministers! ”

"I'll just say that you speak ugly, what is the meaning of wagging your tail, isn't this what this is the purpose of being an official? You have to be decisive in doing things, but if you are an official, you have no chance to be decisive! ”

Qi Jiguang retorted.

Wang suddenly didn't know when he had an extra knife in his hand, and pressed it in front of him: "I speak ugly? ”

Qi Jiguang saw that only the scabbard was left on his waist, and he couldn't help scolding: "I can't even look at my own knife, I deserve to be by my side now!" ”

The family couldn't help but bow his head in disappointment.

Qi Jiguang smiled at the Wang family here: "Madame's martial arts are still so good!" It's just that didn't Mrs. say that she should raise her eyebrows, Qin Se and Ming with her husband in the future, and set an example? ”

"I accidentally forgot."

Wang replied, put down the knife, and then said, "Master, go home." ”

Qi Jiguang twisted the sweat on his forehead, and then asked his Qi family children: "Come in, tell me what you have done in Beijing." ”

……

The next day, it happened to be the day of the dynasty.

The spring rain is like a needle, and the palace walls are wet.

Qi Jiguang got up early, put on the imperial robe and python robe, and walked towards the Xuanzhi Gate, and then stood in the place where he was waiting to be leaked, looking outside with his eyes, waiting for someone to come.

Because he was a martial arts class, not long after this, he saw the British Duke Zhang Yuangong and the Duke of Dingguo Xu Wenbi walking towards him.

Zhang Yuangong saw that it was Qi Jiguang, so he took the initiative to come over to say hello: "Qi Shuai has always rarely looked at the court, and now it is very early to return to Beijing to see the court." ”

Qi Jiguang replied with a smile: "Grandpa Guo is also very early. ”

Since the beginning of Zhu Yijun's accession to the throne, after strictly punishing the ministers who did not come or deliberately arrived late, the civil ministers and military generals had to look at the court seriously.

Therefore, these nobles also came early.

"Qi Shuai really announced the prestige of my emperor and the country this time."

At this point, the British minister continued.

Qi Jiguang said: "It's not as good as the grandfather of the country and the ancestors of the country to worship the heavens." ”

"Where is it, Qi Shuai's ancestors are the founding heroes, and now I am still a Zhongxing hero, not a contemptible person who only relies on the shadow of his ancestors and occupies a high position."

After hearing this, the British public replied with a smile.

Dingguo Gong knew that the British Duke Ming praised Qi Jiguang as a Zhongxing hero, and secretly Feng Wanli was the hero of Zhongxing, so he echoed on the side: "This is right, it is not something we can compare." ”

At the same time, Dingguo Gong saw that Qi Jiguang was wearing a big coat, so he asked: "It's not too cold this day, why is Qi Shuai wearing a big coat?" ”

"The one who is given by the emperor does not dare not wear it."

Qi Jiguang replied with a smile.

Ding Guogong was stunned and smiled.

At this time, the British Duke couldn't help but look at it carefully, and said: "No wonder these four golden claws look vivid, it turns out to be the craftsmanship of the Weaving Bureau!" Hey, Qi Shuai was also given a python robe? ”

"Shame! The emperor's grace is abundant, so he doesn't dare to but. ”

Qi Jiguang replied with a smile.

The British Duke was silent now.
