Chapter 895 984 Send you to Liting

"Ms. Qi Wang, when it comes to this matter, it is indeed Yuan Jing who is at fault.

But you also know that you and Yuan Jing have been married for twenty years, and you have never had any children. Yuan Jing is not young, and he is also the only son in the family."

It's hard for Wei Guangde to say these words, after all, he and Qi Jiguang haven't gotten to know each other well enough yet.

Tan Lun was easy to talk to after all. The couple and Tan Lun had known each other since they were in Zhejiang. They were old acquaintances and Qi Jiguang's backer in the capital.

However, when Prince Qi heard this, he immediately interrupted: "Master Tan, this matter seems to be my family matter, and without my permission, Qi Laohu dared to take concubines privately. I am standing wherever he talks about this. reason."

"Qi Wangshi"

Tan Lun wanted to say more, but in fact it was nothing more than three obediences and four virtues, but Wei Guangde on the side also saw that Qi Jiguang's wife was not a woman influenced by Confucianism.

Tan Lun's words may not have any effect.

He originally planned to eat melon, but when he saw Qi Jiguang with a bitter melon look on his face, he thought that it would still be of great use to him a year later, and was worried that family affairs would affect him, so he said: "Mrs. Qi, this is the Jizhen military camp. It would not be good for this matter to be brought to court."

Wei Guangde just nodded to her. To be honest, Qi Wangshi had just made a fuss here, and she dared to say that she was justified wherever the lawsuit went.

Although her words were true, the consequences were not something she could bear.

As the old saying goes, a wife is honored by her husband, and a mother is honored by her son. This means that in ancient times, men were distinguished by superiority and inferiority, and women were also distinguished by superiority and inferiority because of the men around them.

If Qi Jiguang is held accountable by the court for this matter, her identity will also be affected.

Because of Qi Jiguang's current official position, she is also a first-grade imperial concubine conferred by the imperial court. However, if Qi Jiguang resigns due to this matter, her imperial decree will be gone.

"Prince Qi, Mr. Tan and I came from the capital. We were originally going to inspect Yuan Jing's training troops, but we didn't expect to see such a big show right after we arrived."

Wei Guangde continued, clearly meaning to remind Mr. Qi that he, Wei Guangde, came to Santun camp not to see their family's shit, but because of military and national affairs.

Otherwise, with his status as the second assistant in the cabinet, why would he make this special trip.

Well, the golden sign of Cifu is still very dazzling. It is equivalent to the deputy prime minister of the Ming Empire. The head of state is Emperor Wanli. Zhang Juzheng is the head of the government and he is the second in command.

"Mr. Wei Ge, this young lady is ignorant."

Facing the unfamiliar Wei Guangde, Prince Qi did not have the courage to continue making trouble, and was still somewhat reluctant to bear his current status as a first-grade imperial concubine.

If the trouble really continues and the news reaches the capital, Qi Jiguang may be impeached by the imperial censor.

"What are your demands? When it comes to this matter, Mr. Qi is still at fault."

Seeing that Mrs. Qi had stopped making trouble, Wei Guangde accepted the offer and asked her to make some conditions.

"How dare you, little lady, make any demands? I just ask the elder not to take offense."

At this time, Qi Wang's shrewd side also emerged.

Speaking of which, she was Qi Jiguang's wife, but she had been married to Qi Jiguang for so many years and had nothing to do. According to the law, Qi Jiguang could legitimately take concubines when he was forty years old.

Of course, she was justified in making such a fuss. First, Qi Jiguang took a concubine without her consent, and second, Qi Jiguang was under forty when he took a concubine, which violated Zhu Yuanzhang's lock-in order.

Originally, she came to the military camp to cause trouble, just to catch the current situation, and Qi Jiguang's concubine had already been blocked in his big tent.

And her purpose was naturally not that simple, that is, to get Qi Jiguang to drive away his concubine, Mrs. Chen, leaving only the two children to continue the incense of the Qi family.

But it seems that I didn’t check the almanac when I went out today, and met Wei Guangde and Tan Lun arriving.

Naturally, her goal could not be achieved, so she refused when Wei Guangde asked her to make conditions.

Since the goal could not be achieved, Wang Qi naturally wanted to leave first and talk about this matter after they finished their business.

Anyway, this matter is not over yet, Qi Wang is also confident that she can control Qi Jiguang.

Hearing this, Wei Guangde just frowned slightly and couldn't say much.

However, Tan Lun, who was next to him, was familiar with these two people, and he could guess Wang Qi's plan in his heart. She was a strange woman who was decisive in killing.

Women who dare to wield a knife at Japanese pirates these days are certainly not ordinary people.

I know that if I don't handle things well today, I'm afraid there will be trouble in the future.

Wei Guangde intervened in this matter, it seems, for the sake of arrangements for the next two years, so he said at this time: "Shandai is right, Yuan Jing is wrong about this matter, Qi Wang, you and Qiu Qiu might as well tell me , I will deal with you fairly and will never help him for personal gain."

Having said this, Tan Lun glared at Qi Jiguang fiercely.

Tan Lun really felt embarrassed today. He praised Qi Jiguang too highly. He never expected to encounter such a thing.

It seemed that he was speaking for her, but in fact he was also helping Qi Jiguang.

"You just said that Yuan Jing has two sons?"

Seeing that Mrs. Qi Wang was unwilling to speak, Wei Guangde simply answered the question himself.

In fact, he already had an idea in his mind, and he was actually guessing Wang Qi's plan, but he felt that Wang Qi's approach was a bit cruel.

Although these days, doing things like this is commonplace.

When Wei Guangde said this, his eyes were looking at his concubine Chen, who was hiding aside and not daring to say anything.

As for Chen's appearance, she is indeed much prettier than Qi and Wang. It's no wonder that Qi Jiguang secretly took concubines.

Moreover, the Chen family gave birth to two sons for Qi Jiguang, so she was worthy of the old Qi family.

Looking at Wei Guangde, Chen, who had never dared to show his presence, nodded slightly.

"how old are you?"

Wei Guangde turned to look at Qi Jiguang and asked.

"The older one is three years old and the younger one is one year old."

It was very embarrassing today, but Qi Jiguang still answered Wei Guangde's question.

Well, the older one is three years old, which means that Chen has been following Qi Jiguang for at least four years, which means that he only took her in after he arrived in Jizhen.

As for why he didn't dare to mention it at home, it was naturally because he was afraid that the tigress at home would not agree. After all, he was not yet forty when he took a concubine.

"what is it call?"

Wei Guangde asked again.

"The big Qi Zuo country, the small Qi An country."

Qi Jiguang replied.

"You are better than Yu Dayou, he only has a son now."

Wei Guangde said casually, "The prime of life is the time to have children. You are all busy with state affairs. It seems that the court owes you."

Wei Guangde sighed and said, "How about this, the younger son Anguo is adopted as the legitimate son to Mrs. Qi?"

Adopting only one son naturally eliminated the possibility of Mrs. Qi Wang expelling her concubine Mrs. Chen in the future. After all, she still had a son.

In these days, it is common for a married woman to have no offspring and let her husband take a concubine and give birth to a child, and then drive the concubine away or even sell her.

After all, the concubine was bought with money, so it was called "Na", but it was just a commodity.

"Ms. Qi Wang, I think Mr. Wei Ge's proposal is very good. What do you think?"

Tan Lun tried to ask.

"Okay."

Mrs. Qi Wang deliberately refused to agree, and wanted to wait for the person to leave before breaking up with Qi Jiguang, but now Wei Guangde clearly wanted to dare to take care of their family's family affairs, but she couldn't refuse.

The suppression of Japanese invaders lasted for twenty years, but it did not mean that she missed a great opportunity to conceive a child. Wei Guangde said that the court owed them, and even if they failed, they were not far off.

Although he was a little dissatisfied with Wei Guangde's involvement in family affairs, now that an acceptable solution had been proposed, Qi Wang could not continue to pursue it, so naturally he could only nod.

"In this case, you will take Mr. Chen with you."

At this point, Wei Guangde glanced at Qi Jiguang, saw him nodding, and continued: "Take Chen back to the General Military Mansion first. After all, this is a military camp. It will be inconvenient to leave a concubine in the camp."

Let that person take her back to the house, and the matter will be settled. Chen can be regarded as a member of the Qi family.

"Da Shan, Mrs. Qi Wang, please take An Guo and Zuo Guo home together. There are children at home, and it will be a lot more lively."

Tan Lun immediately answered with a smile.

No matter what Mrs. Qi Wang thinks, not having a child is still painful in her heart.

Taking back two children at once, although they were not born to her, they are indeed descendants of the Qi family. Having offspring can be regarded as an explanation for the ancestors of the Qi family.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Qi Wang just glared at Qi Jiguang, and then called Mrs. Chen who was still trembling and walked out of the tent.

After the two women left, Qi Jiguang seemed to have returned to his previous state, and said to Wei Guangde with some embarrassment: "It's a joke to call Mr. Wei Ge, the last general is really..."

"Okay, in the final analysis, this matter is still your fault."

Wei Guangde waved his hand and said.

"Yuan Jing, what can I tell you?"

When Tan Lun saw Wang Qi leaving, he started to get angry at Qi Jiguang: "I really didn't expect that you would actually take a concubine into the military camp. Fortunately, you are still my Ming Dynasty general."

Qi Jiguang was scolded by Tan Lun and immediately bowed his head.

Nothing would happen unless this matter was revealed, but if they saw it, they couldn't deny it.

"You're harboring concubines in the military camp, and your wife is forcing her way into the military camp. If anything reaches the capital and is known by the imperial censor, it will be enough for you to drink."

"Yes, yes, Master Tan is right. The general will realize that he is wrong, but..."

Tan Lun continued to reprimand, and Qi Jiguang could only accept it, but maybe he was too familiar with Tan Lun, so he wanted to explain a few words.

"I know you are worried. I am afraid that Prince Qi will not agree, but in just two years, you can't bear it anymore?"

Tan Lun continued.

This time, Zhu Yuanzhang set the rules for men to take concubines. There were many people in the court who did not follow the rules. It can be seen who made the family scandal public.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go see Marshal Qi's training first."

Wei Guangde interjected.

The reprimanding continued until the evening.

"Now gather the troops for training?"

Qi Jiguang was immediately surprised when he heard Wei Guangde's request.

"Naturally, we can only take a quick look today, and we will discuss the training tomorrow."

Wei Guangde said.

After speaking, Wei Guangde left the camp without looking back.

At this time, except for the guards and the people they brought, there were no servants of Qi Mansion outside the tent.

Tan Lun and Qi Jiguang followed them out, and soon someone brought the horses. The three of them jumped on the horses and trotted towards the military camp under the leadership of Qi Jiguang.

"Which battalion of troops does Wei Ge always want to see?"

Qi Jiguang asked cautiously while walking.

"You can take a look at the car camp, riding camp, and foot camp after practicing, and there's no need to assemble."

It was getting late and the training of the soldiers was over, so Wei Guangde didn't want to bother his troops.

But we still have to see what kind of mental state the soldiers of the Qi family, who are highly praised by Tan Lun, are in.

Well, whether the soldiers are good or not depends on their spirit.

As for the assembly and battle formation performances, Wei Guangde had already experienced Qi Jiguang's ability to train troops during the Longqing Parade.

The most critical actual combat is basically passed through the grindstone of Duoyanbu.

Coming here, in addition to seeing the Ming Dynasty soldiers with my own eyes, I also discussed with Qi Jiguang the preparations needed to fight in Liaodong.

The whole journey was non-stop. Every time he arrived at a military camp, Qi Jiguang wanted to stop and give Wei Guangde a detailed introduction. However, he shook his head and refused and asked him to go see the next military camp.

At first, Qi Jiguang planned to regain the face he had lost in front of Wei Guangde by watching his soldiers.

However, after walking through two military camps, he noticed that Wei Guangde was obviously not interested in this, so he just led the way and briefly talked about the situation of the soldiers in his camp.

Of course, Wei Guangde was still happy to stop and take a look at the weapons and equipment in each military camp. From time to time, he would also ask the Ministry of War's arsenal whether enough weapons and equipment were distributed on time.

Wei Guangde did not go to see other armies, but just watched the few battalions of soldiers and horses he had trained.

Qi Jiguang also saw that Wei Guangde came here for a tour in name, but it should be for other reasons.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at Tan Lun and recalled the news mentioned in the previous letters to Tan Lun.

"Shandai, what do you think of these soldiers and horses?"

Naturally, he was very fast in walking around. After running around for a while, he saw everything that needed to be seen. On the way back, Tan Lun asked.

Wei Guangde nodded, "The soldier's mental outlook is not bad. This soldier is well trained."

Wei Guangde gave a fair evaluation. It was slightly worse than he expected, but he was still considered a first-class soldier in this world.

There was no way, every time he asked about Tan Lun, he would brag in front of Wei Guangde, which invisibly improved Wei Guangde's judgment a lot.

"With such soldiers out, Shandai should be able to rest assured."

Seeing that Wei Guangde was quite satisfied, Tan Lun continued to smile.

When Wei Guangde heard this, he glanced at Tan Lun, raised the corner of his mouth and smiled.

"hehe."

Seeing Wei Guangde's reaction, Tan Lun also laughed out loud.

"Mr. Wei Ge and Lord Situ, are you going to send your last generals to fight?"

Qi Jiguang asked tentatively at this time.

"Brother Zili should have mentioned it to you."

Wei Guangde said casually.

"What Mr. Wei Ge said, could it be Liaodong?"

After hearing Wei Guangde's answer, Qi Jiguang said subconsciously. After finishing speaking, he felt that he had made a mistake and shut up immediately.

Wei Guangde knew that Qi Jiguang was not a simple martial artist. Like Yu Dayou, he was also educated.

In fact, families with hereditary military positions in the Ming Dynasty would more or less allow their family members to study essays. After all, there was only one military position, and other children could only take other paths, such as doing business or taking imperial examinations.

As for those people who carry cages and walk like hawks and lackeys, it's not that the family doesn't value them, but that they themselves don't live up to their expectations.

Seeing that Qi Jiguang suddenly became cautious, Wei Guangde smiled and said, "Why, is there any inconvenience?"

"No no."

Qi Jiguang hurriedly denied it and said, "As long as the imperial court issues an order, the general will naturally do his best."

"You know Chenghua Liting, I sent you here this time to do this."

Chenghua Liting was very cruel, so Wei Guangde simply proposed it directly so that he could be mentally prepared. (End of chapter)
