Empress Dowager Li agreed to give Qi Jiguang the title, it was her own plan, Qi Jiguang worshiped under Zhang Juzheng's door, and if she got the earl, she could enter Beijing to serve as a commander and the chief military officer of the Beijing camp.

This is something she will never allow to happen, so when Qi Jiguang entered the palace to see the emperor practicing martial arts, Empress Dowager Li threw out such a condition without any discussion.

Zhu Yijun's face remained unchanged, Empress Dowager Li did not tell the little emperor her thoughts in advance, he didn't want Qi Jiguang to be too embarrassed.

Empress Dowager Li is quite good at talking in some things, but in some things, it is extremely difficult to speak, the child suffers a little, Empress Dowager Li is distressed, and she will not force a decree to stop her, but in foreign court affairs, Empress Dowager Li rarely listens to the little emperor's big truths.

Of course, knighthood can be made, but Qi Jiguang, the sharpest sword of the Ming Dynasty, must be in the hands of the emperor.

The emperor's monopoly is the bottom line that Empress Dowager Li cannot provoke.

This time Qi Jiguang was knighted, which was a temptation for the emperor to be in charge after Zhang Juzheng and Chen Wushishu, and Zhang Juzheng was in Fengtian Palace, and the debate with Yang Bo proved that Zhang Juzheng did not intend to encroach on the artifact and not interfere with the emperor's monopoly, which was tolerable for Empress Dowager Li and Chen Wushishu's other things.

The emperor's imperial gate listens to the government, the emperor's approval is sparse, the emperor's summoning of auxiliary ministers, state affairs need to be discussed by the court, and Beijing officials need to be assessed, all of which are reasonable requirements.

The lord Shaoguo doubted that the imperial power was absent under the imperial system, and the courtiers took the opportunity to put forward some requirements, so that the emperor could listen to the government, manage the government, and see the courtiers.

Zhu Yijun just planned to speak to persuade the Empress Dowager Li, he can speak well, this foreign minister is still there, and the Empress Dowager Li should give him this little emperor this face.

"The minister has always been the courtier of the Ming Dynasty, the food of the king, and the matter of loyalty to the king." Qi Jiguang spoke first, bowed his head and said, "Please also ask the Queen Mother to know it." ”

"That's the same, it's good that Qi Shuai understands." When Empress Dowager Li heard Qi Jiguang's answer, she knew that Qi Jiguang agreed, and in the future, she would not be under the door of the Quanchu Hall.

What Qi Jiguang meant by this was that in the past, he worshiped under the main gate of Zhang Ju, which was purely helpless, if he could face the saint, if he could not worship under the name of others, he would be able to do things, and he was not willing to go around to worship the lord.

If you worship the master, you are a lackey under others, and for the soldiers who are fighting, you are a powerful person who bends his eyebrows and bends his waist.

Qi Jiguang and Zhang Ju are gentlemen's friends, but this rotten court can only be like this.

"I'm tired, Qi Shuai will stay in the palace today and dine with His Majesty." Empress Dowager Li did not say anything else to Qi Jiguang, the emperor had already issued a holy decree and expressed his affirmation of Qi Jiguang, Empress Dowager Li did not recruit generals for herself, but for the emperor.

The banquet was given in the palace of the king, accompanied by Chen Dacheng, the general of Jizhou, Chen Dacheng was full of excitement, the handsome returned to Beijing, not only received a full reward, but also won the title, not only that, but also got the emperor's banquet!

This time, the guards who entered Beijing together also selected ten people to accompany them.

"Ministers don't drink alcohol, except for sailors, it's a military rule." Qi Jiguang looked at the wine pot and wine glass, and said with a slight embarrassment. No alcohol is allowed in the army, it is an iron rule set by Qi Jiguang, he can't take the lead in breaking it, and today he has to go out of the city and return to Jizhou.

Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "The thing in the cup is just water. ”

is to drink an atmosphere, if he drinks at this age, Zhang Juzheng should be on the guilty note every day, and the Empress Dowager Li should take the little emperor to the Taimiao to read the edict of the guilty himself.

Qi Jiguang smelled that it was really water, and hurriedly got up and shook his sleeves to kneel and said, "Your Majesty is compassionate." ”

"In the future, if you play right in private, you don't have to kneel to reply, Mr. Yuanfu talks about feasts, rides and exercises martial arts, and Master Xu teaches me to farm, so you don't have to kneel down and reply." Zhu Yijun said quite precisely, interrupted Qi Jiguang's kneeling posture, and took out the example, telling Qi Jiguang that this is not a special grace.

A fierce general who has killed for nearly 30 years in his forties, kneeling to him, a ten-year-old man, is the master of etiquette, but His Majesty the Emperor dictates that it is a holy decree.

When there is a conflict between the law and the holy decree, who should listen?

Qi Jiguang chose to listen to the emperor, and he found another characteristic of the little emperor, that is, he was not formal, which may be the means that the Empress Dowager Li taught the little emperor to win people's hearts.

But this method is extremely useful.

The guests and hosts enjoyed a meal.

Zhu Yijun highly affirmed Qi Jiguang's martial arts in Pingwei and resisting the enemy, praised the exploits of the Battle of Xifengkou, and struck a heavy blow to the enemy's arrogance, invigorated the hearts of the Ming army and the people to resist the enemy, and at the same time raised his own worries about the Beiyu once again offending the border.

Qi Jiguang said that he would do his best to take resolute measures to resist the invasion of thieves, and at the same time would increase the number of marquis of Duntai, detect the enemy's movements in time, and do everything possible to keep the enemy out of the country, so as to live up to the expectations of the Ming Emperor, the civil and military forces, and the people of Gyeonggi for the army of the three towns, and dare to fight and fight a decisive battle.

"I opened a Baoqi Hall in Jingshan, Qingming has passed, Qi Shuai accompanied me to have a look?" Zhu Yijun had lunch and proposed to go to Shanglin Yuan together.

"I would like to go with Your Majesty." Qi Jiguang hurriedly bowed his head and said, His Majesty said that he was not allowed to kneel, but he was still very respectful.

As for His Majesty's promise, Qi Jiguang did not expect His Majesty to fulfill it, but only hoped that the emperor would pay attention to the military affairs and prevent the war from spreading to the Gyeonggi region.

Zhu Yijun took Qi Jiguang and Chen Dacheng to Jingshan Baoqi Palace, took Qi Jiguang to the outside of the sun room, stood under the noon sun, looked at the seedlings in the field, squatted down, and introduced potatoes and sweet potatoes.

"According to Luo Gongchen, the same acquaintance of Haiphong, sweet potatoes and potatoes have a yield of more than 1,000 catties per mu overseas, and Qi Shuai and General Li Shen are all from Tuntian military households, so they should know what the significance of producing 1,000 catties per mu is. Zhu Yijun squatted on the edge of the sky and pointed to the seedlings in the field.

The seedlings are dark green ovate heart-shaped, full of vitality, Qi Jiguang also squatted down and looked at the seedlings carefully, obviously the seedlings have been carefully cared for.

Zhu Yijun pointed to the five acres of land on the left and said: "Every six inches of a seedling, one acre of land needs 4,000 seedlings, the seedlings are four nodes, two leaves are exposed to the ground, and the rest of the leaves are inserted into the soil. ”

"This is not to say that there are 4,000 potato seedlings, the potato seedlings are specially cultivated in the fire room, if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees, the seedlings will be burned, so the cultivation is completed, and it must be checked every day, and after the potato seedlings are moved out of the fire room, when they grow to six to eight inches, they begin to cut the seedlings and plant the field."

"Forty degrees?" Qi Jiguang looked at the seedlings and heard the unfamiliar term, and immediately asked.

Zhu Yijun took Qi Jiguang and other people to explain in detail the principle and definition standard of thermal expansion and contraction of thermometer.

"Potato seedlings like sandy loam soil, when planting, the soil should be broken, finely beaten, leveled, too much watering is easy to rot seedlings and tubers." Zhu Yijun explained the whole process of seedling raising.

The construction of the fire room does not have to be a sun room, the main role of the sun room is to cultivate attenuated potato seedlings, whether it is pinching the tip, killing, only to use the sun room, potato seedlings six inches after the start of cutting seedlings, potato seedlings grow very fast, four sections for a seedling.

In the twenty-fifth year of Jiajing, Qi Jiguang inherited the position of his ancestors and became the commander of Dengzhou Wei, who was responsible for the affairs of Tuntian.

Farming is a matter of course for Daming.

Qi Jiguang has a very rich experience in farming, and chatted seriously with Emperor Daming for a long time, and Xu Zhenming was responsible for checking and filling in the gaps next to him.

It wasn't until he walked to the small pavilion of Baoqi Hall that Qi Jiguang suddenly found that he was exchanging farming experience with His Majesty the Emperor! Your Majesty, isn't this a little out of business?

However, the little emperor is extremely familiar with farming, and it is not a joke, which makes the flame of Qi Jiguang's heart even more vigorous.

"Your Majesty, do you often come to this Baoqi Palace?" Qi Jiguang asked with some curiosity, in his impression, when the Ming Emperor was able to sacrifice Jumang in the spring, it was enough to support the plough to show it, and even Song Renzong planted the land, and he went to see it when he was harvesting.

Qi Jiguang can write a military book, since ancient times, soldiers who can fight well are rare, and the battlefield seems to be born for them, but soldiers can pour out everything in their stomachs, and there are not many people who write military books.

Many soldiers know how to fight a war, but when he asks him to speak, he can't tell such a reason, just like dumplings in a teapot, which can't be poured out if there is goods.

Qi Jiguang can pour out the dumplings in his stomach, because he reads, and his literary skills are excellent, if he has to inherit the position of his ancestors, he also thought about gaining fame, although his military talent is dazzling, but Qi Jiguang is still in the army.

Therefore, Qi Jiguang knew that Song Renzong's Baoqi Hall was just to show that he was heavy on agriculture and mulberry, could Song Renzong still farm the land himself?

Emperor Gao of the Ming Dynasty personally farmed the land, and he farmed in the palace after becoming the emperor.

"Your Majesty comes every day." Xu Zhenming answered this question, His Majesty cherishes these seedlings very much, no matter how late it is, he must come and take a look before the palace gate is locked, even if it is a glance.

"Your Majesty Hongyi, the minister is the great Minghe, and the people of the world are congratulated." Qi Jiguang said with mixed feelings.

Zhu Yijun sat down in the Baoqi Palace, this is a small hall less than three zhang and five rooms wide, it is not so much a palace as a pavilion, he said with a smile: "Qi Shuai, General Chen, Master Xu, sit down and talk." ”

Zhu Yijun looked at Qi Jiguang and said very accurately: "Qi Shuai, I have doubts. ”
