Chapter 711 Title Reform

The king and his minister looked at each other for a while, but in the end they were a little helpless.

Qi Jiguang was helpless because he really had no good idea and regretted why things had developed into this way.

Zhu Yijun was also helpless. Why did this matter become like this now? It has nothing to do with him at all.

However, Zhu Yijun also knew that he couldn't run away now, so he said helplessly to Chen Ju next to him: "Did you hear it?"

Chen Ju hurriedly said, "Go back to Your Majesty, I heard it."

"Then do it like this." Zhu Yijun nodded.

I really have no other way, and I can only do this in front of me. After all, Qi Jiguang's method perfectly solved this matter, and even if someone is dissatisfied, there is no way.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Ju agreed cautiously: "I will do it when I go back."

After saying that, Chen Ju glanced at Qi Jiguang, with envy in her eyes.

This is the Marshal Qi. If it were someone else, it would probably be like this. Your Majesty still heard you say that you would have cleaned up.

Zhu Yijun thought about it and said directly to Qi Jiguang: "This time I recall you back to the palace, in addition to this matter, there is one more thing I will discuss with you."

"Please give me instructions." Hearing this, Qi Jiguang's body was shocked and he quickly agreed.

"Go out for a walk." Zhu Yijun did not answer his words directly, but instead changed the subject.

Qi Jiguang's heart rose, and his face suddenly became very serious, and he lost the lucky mentality he had when he first came in.

He could see that the emperor was not talking casually this time. It can be seen from the emperor's attitude that this time it was probably a big deal.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Qi Jiguang did not dare to neglect and quickly agreed.

The king and his minister left the palace one by one and the other behind, and soon arrived in the imperial garden.

Zhu Yijun moved his muscles and bones, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "The air outside is better. I was depressed just now and I couldn't do anything."

Qi Jiguang followed Zhu Yijun and didn't dare to say anything.

The first two things I just said in the hall are bigger than the other, and they are more scared at each other. This time, His Majesty is posing like this again, who knows what happened?

Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "Actually, there is nothing big. I mainly want to tell you what's next."

"Now that Liaodong is stable, some things should be put on the agenda. Originally, Jizhou was to protect the capital and support Liaodong, and also to support Xuanfu and other places. The problem now is that there is no need to do this anymore. Liaodong and the northwest have been pacified, and there is no energy on the grassland to make trouble with the Ming Dynasty in a short period of time."

"Even if someone wants to make trouble with the Ming Dynasty, it actually doesn't make any sense. They no longer have the strength to be afraid of the Ming Dynasty."

Qi Jiguang understood what the emperor meant when he said this, and he wanted to move himself.

"What do you think?" Zhu Yijun asked with a smile.

After hearing this, Qi Jiguang's expression did not change at all. This kind of problem was not difficult for him.

Taking a step forward, Qi Jiguang said with some emotion: "I have fought many battles in the wars in the south and north over the years, and I have no complaints for the country."

"It's just that now the Ming Dynasty is peaceful and the grassland is peaceful. This is all the wise wisdom of Your Majesty! The world is peaceful, and I am very happy."

"I am not young now, and I also want to go home to enjoy my old age. I originally thought that I would tell Your Majesty what I would say after this matter is over. Since Your Majesty has asked, I will speak frankly."

"I am now thinking about going home to enjoy my old age and accompanying my wife. I have been running around over the years, and all the affairs of my family have been on her. I am a little sorry for her."

Zhu Yijun's gaze at Qi Jiguang became a little weird.

There are rumors in the market that Qi Jiguang is afraid of his wife and cannot beat her. In Zhu Yijun's opinion, this is simply nonsense, and it is likely to be a means of Qi Jiguang's self-deprecation.

Since ancient times, as a warrior, as a general, he had to have such means, either greedy for money or lust, and he could not have a good reputation, so that the emperor could rest assured.

Qi Jiguang has been very good at his subordinates for so many years and has not deducted their money. He made friends with ministers everywhere in the court and gave them gifts. Aren’t such people worried?

Don't he think about being self-deprecating?

What can you do if you find a reputation for fear of your wife? In addition to being ridiculed, it can also reduce people's vigilance.

The most important thing is that it will not affect your use for others. After all, it is a personal matter for your wife, and no one will care about it because of this matter.

As for Qi Jiguang's fate in the original history, he was kicked out of the house by his wife in the end, Zhu Yijun wanted to laugh even more.

What was going on at that time?

When Zhang Juzheng fell, everyone was in danger. Qi Jiguang was taken care of by the court and went home. Who knows if anyone would continue to deal with him?

In order not to implicate his family, Qi Jiguang simply separated from his family. What's the big deal about being kicked out of the house?

The more miserable Qi Jiguang was, the less they could deal with him. As for mocking him, it was even less important, and Qi Jiguang didn't care much at all.

Of course, this is Zhu Yijun's guess, and he should have guessed it right.

At this moment, Qi Jiguang said this, and Zhu Yijun didn't know whether Qi Jiguang had figured out a little or was deliberately modest.

If it is the latter, that's normal. After all, it's a person who has to be more humble in such a great contribution. What's more, the emperor asks you, you can't tell the emperor directly that I want a high-ranking official now, so I'll give me a sanctioned insurance policy. I don't want to be a sanctioned insurance policy now.

This is not true, no minister would say that.

I'm going home, this is about retreating as advancement. If the emperor really wants you to leave, you will seem more sensible and you don't have to trouble the emperor. Hello, I, everyone. Otherwise, if the emperor wants you to leave, you don't leave, that's all.

If it was the former, then this matter would be more or less interesting.

Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "Why do you say such things?"

"The Ming Dynasty is in chaos and prosperity is coming, and the court is using people's plans. At such a time, how can you abandon me and leave?"

"The court needs my beloved, and I also need my beloved. This time, the matter in Liaodong was handled very well. How could I let my beloved go home without rewarding me?"

Zhu Yijun's smile is very bright.

Qi Jiguang's heart skipped a beat, and his bad premonition became stronger and stronger.

Although the words he said just now were polite and of course also had temptation. But at this moment, Qi Jiguang suddenly had an idea in his heart.

Qi Jiguang took a step forward and said respectfully: "Go to Your Majesty, the court is full of talents, but I really have nothing special. After so many years, I can only fight wars and can't do anything else."

"The world is peaceful now. I have not been in good health for so many years. I am really powerless. Please ask Your Majesty to allow me to go home, so that I can finish writing my book at that time."

Zhu Yijun laughed out loud.

Now it is certain that Qi Jiguang did smell a little, or he has already noticed something was wrong.

Zhu Yijun looked at Qi Jiguang and said with a smile: "Did you hear the nonsense of those people outside?"

"Your dear, don't take it to your heart. I'm not the kind of narrow-minded person. I'll tell you something to make you happy."

"I am already ready to give my dear title to you," Zhu Yijun said with a narrowed eyes: "Anyone, what do you think of this title? And this time I am planning to give you more titles. There are only Dukes and Marquis of the Ming Dynasty now, so this is not good, so there should be more titles."

Upon hearing this, Qi Jiguang felt so frightened. Not only was he not happy at all, but he was still a little trembling.

I was right, the emperor came here to do something big!

The title reform represents military reform, and there will be no surprises.

If the emperor granted a lot of titles this time, it would have an impact on the old aristocratic group, and those people would not be able to continue to join forces to rely on their parents.

Anyone who has read books knows what the consequences of the overflowing titles will be. The best example is the Han Dynasty, when the titles were granted a title, which was like a crazy rise among the titles, reducing the value of the titles before it was reduced.

What are the status of those dukes of the Ming Dynasty now?

If the Ming Dynasty had dozens of dukes or hundreds of dukes, what status would they have?

This is something you don’t need to think about. Dilute the title and then take it back. This operation is so normal. Emperor Wu of Han once did this back then.

Let these nobles with titles offer gold for sacrifices to the emperor, and then directly punish them and deprive them of all the titles on the grounds that the gold they offered was not of sufficient quality. In this way, dozens or hundreds of titles, or even hundreds, can be recovered at once.

The crazy infusion of water in the title is obviously to dilute the value of the title and to suppress the old aristocratic class.

This is nothing new to Qi Jiguang. Of course, this matter has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't care much about it.

But the problem is that the emperor clearly wanted to use him as the leader and let him be the leader, which would be a life-threatening person.

Qi Jiguang said in a trembling voice: "How dare you be the reward of His Majesty with such a small amount of credit?"

Qi Jiguang is so regretful now that he is in Liaodong. Why did he compete with Li Chengliang for strength?

Is it not good for Li Chengliang to fight this battle? If he is asked to fight, he will be the one who will be the one who will stand out this time.

Thinking of this, Qi Jiguang felt so upset.

Zhu Yijun asked with a smile: "What are you doing? Isn't this a good thing? I think no one in the world doesn't like this?"

"My dear, are you right?"
