At this time, not only Wu Jie was confused, but the officials from the Ministry of War also looked at each other in confusion.
Wu Jie has been famous for Zhu Xizhong for a long time.
This person was the Duke of Chengguo after Zhu Neng, who was a hero during the Jingnan period, and he was a quiet person in the past. Before that, the ministers in the DPRK had never even heard of such a person. There are so many heroes with titles in the Ming Dynasty. Whether it is Beijing or Nanjing, just shout out and you can find thousands of people whose ancestors were rich.
The nobles of the Ming Dynasty lived in Beijing and Nanjing respectively. Nanjing is the residence of the descendants of the founding heroes, while Beijing is mostly the descendants of the heroes of Jingnan.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????: Notwithstanding their poor abilities, these people still receive very high salaries. By the Chongzhen period, this civil service team had expanded to an unbearable level. Just like the Eight Banners disciples of the Qing Dynasty, it directly overwhelmed the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, when civil servants mention the noble children and the royal family, they don't have a good impression.
But this Zhu Neng is an exception. This man won the martial arts examination when he was sixteen years old. He started as a small bannerman of the Jinyiwei and worked hard, and now he has replaced the deceased Lu Bing as the commander of the Jinyiwei. This shows his status in the eyes of the emperor.
Zhu Xizhong has a calm personality and cannot express his emotions or anger. Standing in the wind and snow, his dark face shows no expression.
What¡¯s even more strange is that this person¡¯s eyes seem to have no focus and look gray and numb, as if he is not looking at the person at all. You don¡¯t know where his eyes are falling.
Hearing his shout, Jin Yiwei took control of the entire dock.
Wu Jie, Hu Zongxian, and several officials from the Ministry of War were all gathered at the shed, which naturally attracted the attention of Jin Yiwei.
Zhu Xizhong strode over with a group of his men and shouted: "Who are they?"
Several officials from the Ministry of War hurriedly stepped forward to explain their identities.
Zhu Xizhong shouted expressionlessly: "Why do you guys from the military department come here to pick up your subordinates? Are you trying to please them?"
Several officials from the Ministry of War were furious. He shouted: "Master Zhu, we have received orders from the cabinet to come here to handle the transfer of military power. How can I say that I am flattering you?"
Zhu Xizhong nodded and ignored him.
Lian Laosan hurriedly walked up and handed over Wu Jie's official photo: "My master is Wu Jie of the Hanlin Academy. He returned to the capital from Zhejiang to pay the imperial edict."
Hearing Wu Jie's name, Zhu Xizhong turned his head, his eyes still numb: "Are you Mr. Wu Jie Wu?"
Wu Jie cupped his hands and said, "Exactly, I have met Duke Cheng Guo."
This person¡¯s official position and title are higher than Wu Jie¡¯s, so he must behave like a subordinate.
However, Wu Jie was the prime minister and a close confidant of the emperor, so anyone would give him some face. Even the cabinet ministers would greet him politely when they saw him.
But today is strange. Zhu Xizhong, however, didn't deserve any face at all and said coldly: "Why did you get together with Hu Zongxian?"
The tone was not friendly, and there was a hint of questioning.
Wu Jie¡¯s subordinates heard what he said was rude. They all looked angry.
But Wu Jie didn¡¯t care: ¡°Originally, Wu Jie left first. Mr. Hu¡¯s boat was fast and we met each other in Tongzhou.¡±
Zhu Xizhong nodded. His eyes suddenly softened, and his numb eyes became a little lively: "I'm sorry, Mr. Wu, please go away. Your Majesty has a message for me to ask Mr. Hu a few words."
Wu Jie then realized that it was not that Zhu Xizhong was indifferent to him, but that this guy had been a spy all his life and had formed a professional habit of being very rude to everyone.
He was still shocked. Why did the emperor send the royal guards to find Hu Zongxian?
"I am Hu Zongxian." Hu Zongxian walked up slowly, his steps seemed a little staggering.
Zhu Xizhong suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty has a decree to arrest Hu Zongxian and bring him back to Beiya for questioning."
Hu Zongxian¡¯s men suddenly burst into laughter: ¡°Why?¡±
"Why did the imperial court send Hu Butang to prison?"
"Shut up!" Zhu Xizhong shouted again: "Who dares to make a noise when the Bei Yamen is on errands? As a metaphor"
Hu Zongxian lifted the hem of his clothes and slowly knelt down: "Your Majesty Hu Zongxian, I respectfully send you your holy greetings."
"Good morning, Holy Gong." Zhu Xizhong clasped his hands behind his back and said slowly: "Your Majesty said that when Hu Zongxian was in charge of the southeastern military, he was not enterprising, corrupt, perverted the law, and colluded with Japanese pirates. Go ahead and go to Beizhen Fusi to explain."
After saying that, he nodded towards Hu Zongxian: "Master Hu, that's it."
Hu Zongxian remained silentHe kowtowed: "My lord, Hu Zongxian, is here to take charge."
Soon, the Jinyi guards swarmed up and took down all Hu Zongxian¡¯s men.
There are two more Fanzi who wants to move forward to Hu Zongxian's lock, Zhu Xizhong waved his hand: "The torture can't be on the doctor, the second grade Shang Shangshu, you are more polite."
Hu Zongxian stood up with difficulty: "Thank you, Mr. Zhu."
He turned around, glanced at Wu Jie, and suddenly sighed: "Shizhen, I regret not listening to you. If Hu Zongxian had led his troops to fight the Japanese pirates, he would have a clear conscience even if he did not end well in the future."
Wu Jie lowered his head, feeling suddenly sad for Hu Zongxian.
??This Jiajing, once he takes action against his enemies, he will be thunderous and ruthless.
Hu Zongxian just returned to Beijing. Before he entered the city gate, his military power was taken away from him, and he was arrested and thrown into the sky prison. He didn't give you any chance to breathe.
This is what is called a monarch whose ambition cannot be taken away by steel!
"When Zhu Xizhong and others arrested Hu Zongxian and all his staff, several officials from the Ministry of War finally came to their senses and their pale faces disappeared.
At this time, Wu Jie suddenly remembered Xu Wei, who had been in a frenzy, drifting away while laughing and crying, and slapped his thigh: "This Xu Wenchang is really amazing. I guess he already knows that Hu Zongxian can't even enter the city and will be arrested." Go to Beiyamen and take this opportunity to escape."
If he doesn¡¯t leave, he will definitely be captured by the Jin Yiwei.
Being able to accurately predict what Jiajing is going to do and escape unscathed, this person is really amazing.
Wu Jie suddenly took a breath of air, Yan Dang actually didn¡¯t have many talents. That is, Yan Shifan, Hu Zongxian, Luo Longwen and Xu Wei. Now, Yan Shifan Dingyou is about to return to Fenyi's hometown to observe filial piety, Hu Zongxian is captured and imprisoned, and Luo Longwen dies in the hands of Qi Jiguang. Yan Song is not very capable. No matter how you look at it, the Yan Party is gone.
But with such a powerful character like Xu Wei, the problem will be serious if he is recruited into the scene by someone who wants to, or if he is used by Yan Song in an unusual way.
For a moment, Wu Jie even had the idea of ??asking Shui Sheng to arrest the guy.
But then I thought about it, recalling the friendship I had with Xu Wenchang when we were in Hangzhou, but my heart softened, and I sighed slightly, thinking: Wen Chang, just take care of yourself, I really don¡¯t want to become enemies with you. Although you also suggested that Hu Zongxian kill me, I, Wu Jie, admire your articles, calligraphy and paintings very much.
I hope that from now on there will be one less conspirator in the world and one more master of calligraphy and painting.
There was such a commotion on the pier, and it was almost dark.
The wind and snow were coming in waves, fearing to freeze Qiang'er and Mo Mo, so Wu Jie hurriedly got into the car and drove all the way back to his home.
The new house Wu Jie bought originally belonged to Zhao Wenhua, and it was pretty good in Beijing. Even Jiajing was a little jealous of its exquisiteness. The key is that it is new and looks quite grand.
To be honest, this is the first time Wu Jie and Mo Zi have lived in this house after buying it.
??I was immediately taken aback by the grandeur inside. I thought back then, my home was just a small courtyard, but now this place is so big. I almost got lost after walking inside for a long time.
"It doesn't feel like home here. It's clearly just a big park!" Wu Jie sighed: "If this were to be worth in modern society, it would be at least tens of billions. The key is that there are only a few people in the family, only thirty or forty in total. People, if you spread them out, you won¡¯t be able to see them anymore.¡±
When I returned to Nuange, I heard a cry of "Wow!"
"Why is there a child in there?" Before Wu Jie could wake up, he saw a wet nurse coming out with a baby in her arms. Yifu said, "Master, I heard that you are coming back today. Master Shui sent someone to take the baby out early." The lady took it back."
The Master Shui in her mouth is Shui Sheng who is currently an official in the Five Cities Military and Horse Division.
"Miss, what kind of lady?" Wu Jie scratched his head, confused.
"Ah, this is the eldest lady." Mozi was greatly surprised and hurriedly took the baby into his hands and refused to let go: "Master, look, this nose looks like yours, how straight it is, this mouth, these eyebrows, just like Sister Tang Exactly the same.¡±
"Ah, it turns out to be my daughter." Wu Jie felt ecstatic in his heart, and then he realized that this was the daughter he had with Tang Mi.
"Master, since the eldest lady has gone home, don't send her away anymore. Mozi will take care of her for you." The more Mozi looked at the girl, the happier he became.
Wu Jieyi thought, yes, Cishou Temple is a Taoist temple, so what¡¯s the point of raising a child? Besides, this is my dearest child. If I want to stay by my side, is it possible that she will be allowed to grow up in a Taoist temple and become a female Taoist priest in the future?
Besides, it¡¯s a bit embarrassing to talk about my relationship with Tang Mi. I don¡¯t know when they will be reunited, but I can¡¯t let this matter get out.
¡°Just keep him at home and stay with you.¡± Wu Jie smiled and nodded.
"However, I'm afraid she won't be happy if I have sex with Sister Tang's child." Mozhi stuck out his tongue.
Wu Jie smiled: "Go and bring the child's grandmother in."
Mozi: "By the way, I haven't chosen a name yet. Sir, give her one quickly."
Wu Jie smiled, picked up the pen and wrote two words on the paper "Ning Yan". He chanted: "When the water is exhausted, the cold pond is clear, and the smoke condenses and the mountains are purple at dusk."
Mozi smiled and said, "Ning'er, what a good name."
Wu Jie added: "Since Ning'er's grandmother has been brought into the house, Mozi, will Qiang'er's grandparents and uncle also be brought into the house?"
The two wives had relatives on both sides, and they had to keep a bowl of water balanced. Wu Jie thought it was time to bring Mozi's parents and brother back for reunion.
But he didn¡¯t expect that as soon as he said these words, Mozi raised his eyebrows: ¡°No, we can¡¯t let them in, otherwise we don¡¯t know what will happen, and we will lose face to our Wu family.¡±
