"However, when it comes to sophistry and changing the subject, King Jing is no match for Wu Jie. He is already the best at chatting with people on the forum. Compared with talking, the ancients are not enough.
Wu Jie's words successfully changed the topic from buying a house for himself to sharing the king's worries. It sounds grand, as if Wu Jie bought the house not for his own enjoyment, but because he had suffered a great injustice.
Seeing Wu Jie's words sincerely, Jiajing suddenly felt a little emotional in his heart: When it comes to loyalty, there really is no one in the world who can compare to Wu Aiqing. He knows that I am short of money. I am a top scholar, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and a poet of the generation Zong, I don¡¯t even care about my reputation. How can I not be moved by thinking about it?
Wu Jie continued his impassioned speech, and his tone became aggressive: "His Royal Highness King Jing, as a foreign minister, there are some things that I would not be able to say. Doesn't His Highness think that His Majesty has spent his whole life working on state affairs and building several palaces and temples? Isn't it appropriate for His Highness? Do you also believe what the foreign ministers said, that a monarch can only eat food and drink to be a qualified monarch?"
"I, I, I" King Jing couldn't bear the scolding from Wu Jie and couldn't help but take a step back.
Looking at Jiajing, there was already a look of displeasure on his face.
King Jing was frightened and said pitifully: "Father, this is not what I mean"
Wu Jie felt a little embarrassed. His behavior just now was purely a traitor. However, in order to protect myself, I can¡¯t care so much. Besides, we will only be a white-collar worker in the future, not a gentleman. I will not offend others unless they offend me; if they offend me, I will offend them.
"Your Highness, long live the construction of the palace, and the foreign ministers have made excuses to dissuade them. That is the principle of being a minister. What's the matter with Your Highness following the heckles? How can you bear it in your heart, how can you bear it in your heart?"
"I, I, I" King Jing was Wu Jie's opponent, and he was reprimanded to the point of retreating.
Jiajing was more vigilant. He glanced at King Jing coldly: "Why are you making trouble with the foreign minister?"
What he was most taboo about was collusion between the royal family and ministers, and he was immediately very unhappy.
King Jing also knew that he was in big trouble and felt anxious. Unable to control himself any longer, he shouted at Wu Jie: "Wu Jie, you can fool my father with your rhetoric, but you can't deceive me. You said you borrowed the money from Qi Jiguang. Where did Qi Jiguang get his money?" Come here? Tan Mo, definitely Tan Mo, we must investigate thoroughly!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Hu Dashun next to him felt bad. He couldn't help but shouted: "Your Highness King Jing, don't talk nonsense."
Wu Jie was very happy and looked at King Jing like he was an idiot. Closed his mouth.
Since the implementation of the Lijin system. None of the military leaders are wealthy. In previous years, even if there was no Lijin. The officers were given free quotas, and they used their soldiers for free to open up wasteland and do business, which was just as good as their own. This has been an unspoken rule since the time of Xuanzong, and has been true since the military household system became corrupted.
The military leaders are well-oiled and the eyes of the civil and military officials are red. They dare not eat alone. It is indispensable to pay homage to the ice and charcoal fire in spring and autumn every year, and to pay homage during major festivals.
King Jing actually proposed to investigate corruption in the army. This investigation would not only wipe out all the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, but also completely break this unspoken rule and the rules of the officialdom. It's like poking a hornet's nest. When the time comes, not only will King Jing be unable to escape, but Jiajing will also inevitably get into big trouble.
Jiajing has now finally quelled the southeastern Japanese pirates, and the country's financial embarrassment has been relieved. In addition, I am getting older, and I just wish that the political situation would be stable, so that it would be convenient to pass the throne to King Yu once a hundred years later.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If King Zhengyi and King Jing act in disorder, the army will be in disorder, the civil servants will be in commotion, and the imperial power will be in danger!
Jiajing was angry. He slapped the table and pointed at King Jing: "Get out, you bastard, get out of here. I don't want to see you again."
"Father" King Jing was so aggrieved that he almost burst into tears. Seeing that the situation was not good, Hu Dashun hurriedly pulled his sleeve and retreated together.
Looking at King Jing¡¯s back, Jiajing couldn¡¯t help but shook his head: This King Jing is filial, but unfortunately he is too stupid, and he doesn¡¯t have the brains to speak. He can say whatever he thinks, and he has a violent personality. In terms of talent, he is probably not even comparable to a small seventh-grade magistrate. You want to fight for the crown prince position, don¡¯t I know? In fact, for the sake of the DPRK, you should have been allowed to return to Hubei and submit. But I am getting older and alone, and I need someone by my side who understands the cold and the hot. Ordinary people are old and have children and grandchildren around them. I want to have a son by my side and die by my side. Isn't it okay?
Thinking of this, Jiajing felt a little depressed.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??Hold back a low cough.
Seeing that the emperor was not in a high mood, Wu Jie hurriedly stepped forward, patted his vest with his hand, and said: "Your Majesty, I am extravagant and lustful, and I want to smear Your Majesty's face. It is a capital crime, a capital crime! Long live the punishment."
"Smear, what are you slandering?" When Jiajing saw Wu Jie, he felt happy: "This time you went to the southeast to annihilate the Japanese pirates, it was my order. Hey, Hu Zongxian led so many years of troops in the southeast, wasting tens of millions , but the fight was invincible. As soon as you go, beat He Qing Haiyan. When others see it, they will say that I know people. But Wu Qing, you have greatly grown up for me, so why are you guilty? "
When Wu Jie took his hand back, Jiajing stood up, his mood suddenly rising: "Qi Jiguang won consecutive battles in the southeast, and must have captured a lot. He collected more than a year of gold, and he is very rich. He wants to buy a house for you. Even if you keep it, you don¡¯t have to pay him back.¡±
Jiajing suddenly sneered: "Don't worry about what others say, Wu Jie. Do you think a loyal minister deserves to be naked and deprived of food? On the contrary, he is a treacherous minister, but enjoys all the glory and wealth. How can there be such truth in the world? ? Just accept it boldly. After a few days, no one in the imperial office will try to impeach you. I will stay in the center when the time comes."
Wu Jie was overjoyed: "My lord, thank you for your kindness."
Jiajing: "The people in the army are very rich, so it's right to give them a little beating. I already know Qi Jiguang's filial piety. You tell him that there is no need to resort to such roundabout ways to please me. If you don't pay back, His money should be considered as a lesson to him.¡±
Wu Jie laughed: "I heard that His Majesty is repairing the palace and is still short of some money. I know that Qi Jiguang still has hundreds of thousands of silver on hand. I will write a letter to him and try to rip him off and ask him to give it to Your Majesty." Neizangfu will send you some money."
Jiajing glanced at Wu Jie: "Will I ask the minister to pay for it out of his own pocket? If so, wouldn't he be a coward?" After saying that, he burst into laughter.
Wu Jie: "Your Majesty is Yao and Shun of the time." It seems that the emperor is really short of money, so he might as well ask Qi Jiguang to sponsor him, which can be regarded as doing General Qi a favor and letting the emperor know that there is such a person.
According to Wu Jie¡¯s knowledge, after Jiajing¡¯s death, Qi Jiguang had many ups and downs in his official career. Later, because of his attachment to Zhang Juzheng, he was reused and was transferred to Datong as the chief military officer, responsible for the war against Mongolia.
He has been in Datong for more than ten years, with great military exploits and a peaceful border.
In this case, why not let him take over earlier.
Wu Jie thought about this, if he had the opportunity, he might as well place Qi Jiguang in Liaodong. There would be no need to go to Datong, and there would be no point in going there.
In the Ming Dynasty, except for the Battle of Tumu Fort, and later on, in the war against Mongolia, although there were defeats, there were more wins than losses. Moreover, after Jiajing, Mongolian power was no longer a threat to the Ming Dynasty.
On the contrary, the Jurchens in the Northeast are rising. Now, except Wu Jie, no one knows that the Ming Dynasty eventually fell at the hands of the Jurchens.
It is now 1565 AD, and the Ming Dynasty fell in 1627 AD. In other words, there are still sixty-two years left.
Wu Jie is only in his early twenties this year. With his body, it is still possible to live another sixty-two years. Even if they don't live that long, Qiang'er and Ning'er will definitely live to that era. When the time comes, the country will be ruined and the family will be destroyed. Even if you have great wealth now, it will be in vain in the blink of an eye.
Wu Jie shuddered when he thought of this situation.
Now, it¡¯s time to prepare.
In fact, in real history, the Jurchens were not very powerful at the beginning, and were just dozens of loose tribal organizations.
The reason why he was able to take control of the Central Plains originated from Nurhachi.
It was the result of Qing Taizu uniting the entire Jurchen tribe to form a stable and united military group, constantly challenging the Ming Dynasty, and gradually growing in strength during the war.
In fact, Wu Jie also thought about simply sending someone to find Nurhachi and kill him with one knife.
But then I thought about it, it was quite difficult to find such a person in distant Liaodong in the vast sea of ??people. Besides, Nurhaci was born in 1559 and is only six years old now. He can't do anything to a child.
Besides, Nurhaci¡¯s tribe is still very weak and does not have the power to unify the Jurchens.
In fact, the reason why he grew stronger and integrated the entire Jurchen army was really thanks to the bastard Li Chengliang, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong.
In the second year of Wanli, Wang Gao, the traitorous general of the Ming Dynasty and the commander of Jianzhou Youweidu, the maternal great-grandfather of Emperor Taizu of the Qing Dynasty, invaded Liaoyang and Shenyang on a large scale. Li Chengliang's troops went to Gule Village where Wang Gao was located and beheaded more than a thousand people. In this battle, Nurhachi and his younger brother Shuerhaqi were captured and taken in by Li Chengliang as servants.
¡°If Li Chengliang had killed Nurhaci at that time, he would have done the same next time.The Qing Dynasty was in trouble, and it was because he had a good relationship with Nurhachi's father that he showed mercy.
In February of the 11th year of Wanli, Li Chengliang once again sent troops to attack Wang Gao's son Atai. Nurhaci's father Takeshi died in this battle. Although Takshi belonged to Wang Gao's lineage, he had joined Li Chengliang, but he died in the battle. In fact, Chengliang and Nikanwailan did it deliberately. Nurhachi was extremely dissatisfied: "Why were my ancestors and father killed? You and I are not responsible for this." We share the hatred of Heaven! What are you saying?" Cheng Liang knew that he was wrong and gave Nurhaci the land, troops, etc. of Takshi, and ordered him to inherit the title of Commander-in-Chief as compensation. After Nurhachi unified the Jurchen tribes and established the Later Jin Dynasty, he wanted to avenge his father and ancestors as an excuse to betray one of the "Seven Hatreds".
It can be said that the capital that Emperor Taizu of the Qing Dynasty got from Li Chengliang.
The fall of the Ming Dynasty was actually caused by Li Chengliang.
Otherwise, no matter how powerful Li Zicheng is, Nanming will occupy the sacred land in the south of the Yangtze River to recuperate and achieve the throne. The rogue troops under Li Zicheng may not be able to go south. Moreover, after losing the support of the squires and landlords, Li Zicheng's army in the later period simply did not have the power to compete for the world.
