Chapter 115 Chapter Twenty-four

On the evening of the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhang Juzheng left Donghua Gate in a big warm sedan chair carried by eight people, and then left Chongwen Gate in a short time, heading for Jixiang Lu by the Paozi River in a hurry. From the fall of the ninth year of Wanli, Jixiang Cottage, which had been idle since Yuniang left, suddenly became lively again.Every so often, Zhang Juzheng came here to live again, to relax, meet some personal friends, drink tea, listen to the rain, tune the kite and watch the moon. When he took over as the first assistant, his body was still strong and strong, and he belonged to the kind of strong man who is full of energy and vitality.After several years of monopolizing the life of Chao Gang, I had to do all the clothes and meals myself, and I didn't realize that I was tired or bitter at that time.But it has accumulated over time, and now I feel exhausted physically and mentally.Between ten years.Although the common people in Sheji have undergone earth-shaking changes, his own body has also been greatly overdrawn.A man who is only fifty-seven years old looks like a very old man.But he is also a person who can't be idle, every day when he is on duty, he has to study and make decisions on all major military and political affairs one by one.After a day like this, my legs seemed to be filled with lead, and I just wanted to close my eyes and rest when I got home.In Qiushang, his old friend and fellow countryman Fang Fengshi applied to be an official from the Minister of War in the same year.This Fang Fengshi served as the governor of the border. In the fifth year of Wanli, when Wang Chonggu was transferred from the Minister of the Ministry of War to the Minister of the Ministry of Households, Zhang Juzheng recommended Fang Fengshi, who was the Governor of Jiliao at that time, to take over the post of Minister of the Ministry of War.Fang Fengshi was three years older than him, but in much better health.therefore.Zhang Juzheng was quite puzzled by his initiative to resign from office, so he asked the cabinet to ask him why.Fang Fengshi explained the reasons. He said: "In a person's life, there must be life and death. Those who plan for life are for livelihood. If they are divided by age, one to ten years old is for livelihood; twenty to ten years old is for livelihood; Thirty years old, for family planning; thirty to forty years old, for children and grandchildren; fifty to sixty years old, for old people; sixty to seventy years old, for death. From twenty to sixty For forty years, I have been harassing and disturbing, either for fame or career. Externally, I suffer from my body and work, and internally, I suffer from my heart and secret thoughts. I think about the current defense of the whole body and the aftermath of the future. The strategy, in a word, is to work hard for a lifetime. Now that I have reached my sixtieth age, I should spend my whole life in the forest and plan to die." Put it in the past few years.Zhang Juzheng couldn't be moved by such words, but this time he listened to it, not only allowed Fang Fengshi to disarm and return to the fields, but also often sneaked out of his busy schedule to come to Jixianglu to take care of his generals.

The road from the Forbidden City to Jixianglu is not too short. Along the way, Zhang Juzheng didn't bother to open the car curtain to see the scenery, no matter whether it was the colorful and intricate downtown, or the deserted and deserted Paozi River.He was not afraid of the cold, but in a bad mood.Half an hour ago, he was still being summoned by the emperor on the platform.His current tired look was caused by this conversation. The purpose of the emperor summoning him this time was to ask for money.The emperor said that the Chinese New Year was coming soon, and there were a lot of favors to be done in the palace, and the silver in the inner court's treasury had already been used up, so he asked the household department to temporarily transfer 200,000 silver from Taicang to the palace for emergency needs.Upon hearing this, Zhang Juzheng quickly explained:

"Your Majesty, the imperial court has very strict regulations on the use of Taicang silver. There are rules to follow for what can and cannot be adjusted." "Can't I adjust it casually?" Zhu Yijun asked. "Yes." Zhang Juzheng answered very simply, "The emperor should take the lead in following the system of the imperial court. The emperor uses it for rewards from the harem, and this expense can only be withdrawn from the inner court supply treasury. Taicang silver is used for the state." "However, there is not enough silver in stock for supply!"

"According to what I know, there are five or six hundred thousand taels of silver in the supply treasury for one year. How could it be used up so quickly?" When Zhang Juzheng asked such a question, Zhu Yijun blushed and did not answer.But it is said that the silver taels in the inner court's treasury were originally controlled by the emperor, in other words, it was the emperor's private money.The first source is the income of Baohedian in the capital, the second is the taxation of Zilitian under the name of Qianqing Palace, and the third is the mining tax of gold, silver, copper, iron and other mines distributed all over the country.In the first year of Wanli, in order to solve the merit money donated by the Empress Dowager Li to build the temple, Zhang Juzheng suggested that the Baohe store should be allocated to the name of the Empress Dowager Li: At that time, the emperor was still young and did not know how to spend money.After the Baohe store was taken away, although there were only one or two million taels of silver collected in the supply warehouse every year, there was a balance.After the emperor's wedding, the money immediately became insufficient.Those court ladies and eunuchs who served in front of him tried their best to please him. He would reward him when he was happy.In addition, he was lucky enough to buy an antique or something, so the eunuchs did what they liked. One day they brought back a painting jar used by Empress Li, and tomorrow they brought back a Ge kiln bottle from the Song Dynasty. With such a fascinating history, the emperor saw that he had received such a rare treasure, so there was no reason for him to refuse to buy it... In this way, one decree today and one decree tomorrow, one year's silver for the treasury is not enough for him to spend for half a year.In the sixth year of Wanli, when Zhang Juzheng buried his father and left Beijing, Zhu Yijun, who had just become a bridegroom, ordered the household department to transfer 200,000 taels of silver to the supply warehouse.This is the first time he reached out to the Ministry of Households for money.Although because of Zhang Juzheng's interference, he only got one hundred thousand taels of silver, but from then on, whenever he got an opportunity, he would ask the Ministry of Households for money.Every time Zhang Juzheng tried his best to dissuade him and refused to pay.Even if it is paid, it must be greatly discounted.So after several times.Zhu Yijun felt suffocated, thinking that even the whole world of Mangmang Qiankun belongs to us as the emperor, but why does the money of the user department depend on the winks of your courtiers? It was Zhang Jing, the eunuch who held the pen, who gave him an idea. Open more mines to collect tax silver, and this income can directly enter the supply and use library.The emperor acted according to the plan, and in the seventh year of Wanli, he opened more than 30 mines all over the country at once, and sent imperial eunuchs to each mine to supervise the operation: when these eunuchs came to the place, they abused the officials and abused the officials, and they were even more cruel to the people. Hundreds of schemes were used to blackmail, and some of them almost sparked civil uprisings.Although the income of the inner court supply treasury has increased by more than 400,000 taels of silver, there have also been more accusations against imperial eunuchs in various places.At the end of last year, Zhang Juzheng persuaded the emperor to reduce the number of mines for the sake of the local people. Although the emperor was not happy, he was also afraid of stirring up civil uprisings, so he reluctantly agreed, and canceled and closed seventeen mines at once.In this way, the income of nearly 200,000 taels of silver was lost a year.The emperor thought to himself, Mr. Zhang proposed to remove these mines, so the lack of income should be made up by the Ministry of Household Affairs.So he summoned Zhang Juzheng to the platform, and confidently reached out to ask for money.

Of course Zhang Juzheng knew the emperor's thoughts.To be honest, every time he met with the emperor to discuss state affairs, he felt conflicted.As a relationship between monarch and minister, he should not disobey the emperor too much, and accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. There are countless examples of emperors exiled and killed ministers in previous dynasties. For his own safety, it is the right way to follow the emperor more.But in front of Zhu Yijun, he is not only a minister, but also a teacher.It is this teacher-student relationship that makes him responsible to teach the emperor to be an upright gentleman who has the world in mind and does not hide his own interests.In addition, Empress Dowager Li often entrusted him to take care of the emperor tightly, and not to let things go.In this way, his control over the emperor was very strict.For nine years, the emperor has obeyed him.After the wedding, the emperor once indulged in drinking and sex. After the Quliuguan incident, the stimulated emperor restrained himself a lot.Attending the Sutra Banquet, reviewing memorials and discussing state affairs seemed to be more serious than before. Zhang Juzheng was delighted to see it.To be honest, without the support of the emperor, Qingzhang Tiandi's implementation of the "one whip" law and other major measures related to the national economy and people's livelihood would not have been successfully realized.But in the past two or three years, the emperor suddenly showed a love of money and love for money. Although he repeatedly persuaded him, there was little effect.The emperor was very respectful in inquiring about military and political affairs, and accepted advice humbly, but he was quite stubborn when asking for money.At this moment, seeing that Zhang Juzheng was going to bring out the great principles to dissuade him from transferring the Taicang bank of the household department, he felt very angry, so he said angrily:

"Mr. Zhang, at the end of last year, I followed your suggestion and canceled the closure of seventeen mines. The inner court supply treasury reduced the income of 200,000 taels of silver. There must be a place to fill this money." Zhang Juzheng knew that the emperor was angry, but he still didn't shy away from it, and said patiently: "Your Majesty, the most important thing to do in palace expenses is to be frugal. When your father, Emperor Longqing, was in power, he advocated frugality very much. Every autumn, he holds the inner court guards shooting and hunting competition in Nanhaizi. The winner is only rewarded with three small pieces of shortbread. I heard that the emperor often plays the game of throwing houses in the palace. Whoever wins will be rewarded. You can get gold horns and silver beans. The ebony fan inlaid with gold in Suzhou is worth five taels of silver. If you are happy, you can reward people with eight or ten. This kind of extravagance must not grow."

Zhu Yijun didn't take it seriously, and asked: "Mr. Zhang, you often say that I am the Taiping Emperor supported by all people. Let me ask you, what does this Taiping Emperor mean?" Zhang Juzheng replied: "The border is clean and peaceful, the country is prosperous and the people are prosperous, the world is peaceful, and the nine barbarians come to court. It should be a peaceful and prosperous age." "Is it a time of peace and prosperity?" "yes:" "Since the country is rich and the people are rich, how can we, the emperor, do petty things."

"Your Majesty, I have said more than once that the true character of the Taiping Emperor is to be prepared for danger in times of peace, and to live in wealth without luxury." "It's not extravagant to be rich, and neither is I," Zhu Yijun pointed to the dragon robe he was wearing, and said, "Look at the robe on my body, it was made last year, and the cuffs are a little white." "If the emperor can be so self-disciplined in everything, it will be a blessing for the people of the world." Zhu Yijun was silent for a long time, and then said: "Mr. Zhang just said that my father, Emperor Longqing, was frugal all his life, and rewarded his servants with only shortbread. My empress mother often used this example to teach: but there is one thing, the empress dowager and Zhang Mr. ignored it."

"what?" "My father was not the emperor of Taiping. When he was alive, disasters were frequent and the national treasury was empty, so he could only use shortbread as a reward: I am different now. After these years of rectification, the imperial tax has been greatly increased, and only the farmland is clear. The 3 million hectares of land, the income of 9 million taels of silver a year. Frugality is a virtue, but if you guard the gold and silver mountains, but still like the father, you still give the shortbread as a reward, the people below will not Laugh at me as an emperor who is too stingy."

Although Zhu Yijun's words were fallacious, it was difficult to refute them for a while.Moreover, Zhang Juzheng heard the implication from the words: "The treasury has increased so much money, why can't I, Zhu Yijun, use some?" There was resentment and threats in it.Zhang Juzheng was quite embarrassed, so he thought about it and replied: "It's true that the national treasury is well-stocked with more than ten million taels of silver. But with more money, there are more places to spend it. For example, when it comes to repairing the Great Wall, five years ago, Qi Jiguang proposed to build a dark fort on the Great Wall." There is one fort every mile, and each fort can hold 30 soldiers. The Great Wall is a barrier to defend the capital. Every time the Tatars invade, the Great Wall will be tight. Qi Jiguang’s suggestion of building a fort is very good. Soldiers guarding the Great Wall can support each other Ji Town starts from Shanhaiguan in the east, ends at Dashuigu in the west, and reaches the boundary of Mutianyu in Changping Town. The total length is more than 1,000 miles, and more than 1,000 dark forts need to be built. According to preliminary estimates, the cost of this project is more than one million taels of silver. Besides, Pan Jixun has carefully inspected the water situation of the Yellow River and the Huaihe River since he took office as the governor of water transportation. In the east and west of Liupu Bay, there are more than 70 miles of dikes, blocking 130 breaches in Cuizhen and other places, and then building more than 56,000 long dikes on both sides of the Xuzhou, Suining, Pizhou, Suqian, Taoyuan, and Qinghe Rivers. One dam in Dangshan and one in Fengxian, more than 140 miles of dikes in Xuzhou, Peixian, Fengxian, and Dangshan, four new water-reducing stone dams in Cuizhen and other places, relocated Tongji Gate to the south of Ganluo City, and between Huai'an and Yangzhou The dykes and dams must also be re-strengthened. This project is scheduled to start next year and be completed in three years. Don't you want to spend more than half of the tax money?"

Zhang Juzheng did not fake the book, and he was able to explain clearly what he should say just from his memory. Zhu Yijun admired this very much, and he asked puzzledly: "Preventing bandits and controlling floods has been a major event in all dynasties. Why didn't the previous dynasties do it and wait for our dynasties to implement it?" "Because the former emperor didn't have any money!" Zhang Juzheng replied decisively, "The emperor just talked about the Taiping Emperor. In my opinion, the Taiping Emperor must first have money; It should be used to strengthen national defense, do good things for the people, and do practical things. All in all, taking the wealth of the world and using it for the world is the sage king supported by all people: " After a few harsh words, Zhu Yijun was choked for a long time and couldn't speak.But he also knew that everything the teacher said was reasonable, so he said in a discussing tone: "That being said, I only need one hundred thousand taels of silver, what do you think, Mr. Zhang?" According to Zhang Juzheng's thinking, he was unwilling to give even a tael of silver, but he didn't want to refute the emperor's face too much, so he nodded in agreement.After leaving the platform, on the way to Jixianglu, he thought about this over and over again in his mind.In the end, it was the words Feng Bao said that made him palpitate: the emperor has grown up. When the sedan chair was carried to the gate of Jixiang Hut, it was already dark.The four red lanterns hung on the eaves of the gate flickered softly in the cold air.As soon as Zhang Juzheng got off the sedan chair, Liu Pu, the director of Jixianglu, stepped forward and said: "Master Chief Assistant, Marshal Qi has arrived." "Oh, where is he?" "it's here." With a resounding reply, a general dressed in a third-rank tiger embroidered military officer's supplementary uniform strode around Zhaobi and came to greet him with cupped hands. This was Qi Jiguang, the chief soldier of Ji Town.At noon today, Qi Jiguang assigned his confidant, General Jin Yu, to the cabinet to deliver a message, saying that he was going to Beijing at night and wanted to find a place to have a private chat with Zhang Juzheng. The reason for hurrying to Jixianglu.As soon as he saw the hot-tempered Marshal Qi, Zhang Juzheng forgot all his troubles and said with a smile: "Brother Yuan Jing, how long have you been here?" "A cup of tea." Qi Jiguang looked around and said, "I've heard about Jixianglu for a long time, and I'm here for the first time today. It's really a good place for feasting and sightseeing." "Whenever you have free time, come here for a few days to relax." Zhang Juzheng said, and then asked, "Have you received the pig's head from Xunfeng Pavilion?" "Got it." Qi Jiguang replied. This Marshal Qi, like Zhang Juzheng's predecessor Gao Gong, had a penchant for eating pork heads.Every Spring Festival, Zhang Juzheng would buy the best smoked pig's head from Xunfeng Pavilion, and send someone to send it to Marshal Qi Xingyuan in Ji Town by mule cart.A few days ago, after the New Year's Eve, he ordered the housekeeper, You Qi, to handle the matter. While talking, the two had already entered the Shanweng Tingyu Tower, the earth dragon was burning very warmly, and both of them took off their cloaks and cotton robes.After taking the previous words, Qi Jiguang said again: "Master Shoufu, this year's Xunfeng Pavilion pig heads, why did you give away so many, a total of one hundred." Zhang Juzheng replied: "I heard that the pig heads given to you in previous years were all given to the generals, and even the soldiers at the Great Wall outpost. I often didn't have any left, so I ordered You Qi to give you more pig heads this year." .” "Thank you, Shoufu, for your care." Qi Jiguang looked at Zhang Juzheng's haggard face and sunken eye sockets, and said emotionally, "Master Shoufu, I haven't seen you for a few months, but you are much thinner again." "It's not just thin, but also much less energetic." Zhang Juzheng suddenly remembered the meeting on the platform in the afternoon, and couldn't help but stroked his beard and sighed, "Perhaps, I should return to politics now and retire to live in the forest." "Why did the chief assistant say that?" Qi Jiguang asked in surprise. Zhang Juzheng could not tell Qi Jiguang the conversation between the monarch and his ministers on the platform in the afternoon, so he just said euphemistically: "As early as last year, when Bu Gu saw that the Holy Majesty had grown up and was able to take charge of the government alone, he felt relieved and wanted to retire." "We heard that Empress Dowager Li refused." "That's right," Zhang Juzheng lifted up the curtain, looked at the night outside the window, and replied, "The Empress Dowager Cisheng has always been trustworthy. He saw that the emperor wanted to be in charge of the government, so he even taught the emperor, 'Before you are thirty years old, you will not be able to do so. Don't even think about being in charge of the government, you have to ask Mr. Zhang for everything', what the Queen Mother said made Bugu feel like he was in a dilemma." "The words of Empress Dowager Li have been widely spread among the people below." "yes?" "The officials all know that all the imperial decrees issued by the emperor are actually drafted by the chief minister: everyone has tacitly agreed that if they want to do something, it is better to find the chief minister than the emperor:" Zhang Juzheng had expected this mentality of the officials, but no one exposed it to him face to face: whether this situation was a disaster or a blessing for him, he knew from the bottom of his heart: the reason why he couldn't make up his mind to leave The position of prime minister, on the one hand, is worried about the premature death of the Wanli New Deal; on the other hand, it is not easy to reject the trust of the Empress Dowager Cisheng.At this time, he said to Qi Jiguang: "Brother Yuan Jing, I have also heard all kinds of discussions among officials. Some officials even think that the emperor has become a puppet, which is inconsistent with the facts. Although I, Zhang Juzheng, was entrusted by the queen mother to exercise the power of regent, but at any time, I A servant of the emperor." "The chief assistant can say this, but the officials don't think so in their hearts. What can you do with him?" Qi Jiguang and Zhang Juzheng have an extraordinary relationship, so they speak straightforwardly. Zhang Juzheng knew that even talking about this kind of topic for three days and three nights would not yield any results, so he calmed down, forced a smile and said: "Forget it. Let's not talk about these troublesome things. Brother Yuan Jing, you said you want to chat with me. What do you want to say?" "It's nothing serious, we're here this time just for your body." Qi Jiguang smiled treacherously. "Body, what's wrong with my body?" Zhang Juzheng asked. "We live in Jizhen. Although we don't come to Beijing often, we have heard people say that your health is much worse than before. Just now, you said the same thing yourself." "Even my body is discussed?" Zhang Juzheng was a little surprised, but at the same time he was a little unhappy. "Your body is related to the life of the country and the common people, and it is even more connected to the future of tens of millions of officials. How can they not care!" "Is someone cursing me, wishing that I would die early?" "We haven't heard of this," Qi Jiguang looked at Zhang Juzheng's sensitive eyes, and said, "But those powerful and wealthy people you offended will definitely curse you behind your back. However, more officials still hope that You live long and healthy." "I also believe this." Zhang Juzheng's expression relaxed a little, and he said softly, "Especially you, Marshal Qi, wish that I, Zhang Juzheng, could become Peng Zu's second." "That's right." Qi Jiguang said with a hearty smile, "Last month, we visited an old Chinese doctor in Ji Town. He talked about the principles of health preservation, and he explained the truth clearly. We benefited a lot." "What did he say?" "He said that there are thousands of principles of health preservation, but the most important thing is actually only one word." "Which word?" "Reverse, the reverse of the reverse!" "Inverse? How do you say this word?" "Birds follow the wind, and fish follow the current, both are retrograde. Only when they are retrograde, they can get angry. When a person is in adversity, he must be able to strive for self-improvement. The so-called rebirth after death is the principle of taking advantage of adversity. According to Yin Yang Fengshui uses sand and water to counteract evil spirits in order to welcome anger. The most auspicious hexagram among the sixty-four hexagrams is "Tai Gua". This is a great rebellion, but a great rebellion is a great smoothness. The health-preserving family takes hurdles to fill in and leave, and hurdles are water, and separation is fire. The outer hurdles and inner distances are "Ji Gua". Ji means recuperation, and taking hurdles to fill in and away is rejuvenation. There is a saying There is a saying called 'life is easy', and the way of life is the way of adopting adversity. Shoufu, do you think there is any merit in the old man's teaching?" "Yes, this is what a Taoist said." Zhang Juzheng praised. "According to the principles of health preservation taught by the old doctor, we compared the gourd and the ladle, and realized the Taoist alchemy, which is really wonderful." "What kind of Taoist alchemy?" "Collect yin and nourish yang!" "Collecting yin and nourishing yang?" Zhang Juzheng couldn't help laughing, and said jokingly, "You, Marshal Qi, don't tell me you want to be a handsome flower." "The ancients talked about the four characters of wine, sex, wealth and energy, and put sex in the second place. They said that sex is a steel knife that scrapes bones. This is only half true." Qi Jiguang ignored Zhang Juzheng's teasing and went on. , women are deadly poisons. But if you are well versed in the method of harvesting yin and replenishing yang, and control them well, women can become the best nourishment for men. Otherwise, why is it auspicious to ride a phoenix and ride a dragon? What about the "Tai Gua"?" "Marshal Qi is eloquent. It seems that your theory of war is not inferior to your military strategy!" Zhang Juzheng laughed out loud. "Shou Fu, don't praise me first, just listen to me." Qi Jiguang winked, and then asked mysteriously, "A few years ago, was there a girl named Yuniang by your side?" "Yes." Zhang Juzheng's heart moved. "In those few years, we looked at you, Mr. Shoufu, and your energy and spirit were much better than now. Your body was recuperated well at that time, thanks to Yu Niang's contribution." "It's been four years since Yuniang left me." Zhang Juzheng said with some sadness, "She just left from Jixianglu." "We know," Qi Jiguang said, "I heard that Yuniang was considerate. After she left, Shoufu was also sad for a while." "People go to the empty building and talk about these old things, which can only make people feel sad." Zhang Juzheng stood up, made a gesture of invitation to Qi Jiguang, and said, "Go, gossip for half a day, We should also fill our stomachs." "Just the two of us for dinner?" Qi Jiguang got up and asked. "It's not just the two of us, who else?" "What's the point of two old men getting together and drinking. We came this time and brought two wine drinkers to Mr. Shoufu." "Where is the wine drinker?" "In the flower hall next door, Mr. Shoufu, please move over to have a look." Qi Jiguang said, leading the way and leading Zhang Juzheng into the flower hall separated by a wall.There were already two beauties sitting in the hall, and when they saw Qi Jiguang coming in, they quickly got up and stood side by side to salute. These two girls have deep eyes and green pupils, slender eyelashes, high nose bridges, and scarlet lips exuding charming charm.What's even more strange is that the two look exactly alike.There is no difference in the arc of the lips, the smile in the eyes.Seeing them, Zhang Juzheng immediately thought of that Nuer Huahua who once fascinated Emperor Longqing, and he couldn't help cheering up, and blurted out and asked: "Are these two Persian beauties?" "Shoufu has good eyesight!" Qi Jiguang introduced, "These two beauties are a pair of twin sisters, both from Persia." "No wonder they look so alike." Zhang Juzheng kept his eyes on the captivating face of the Persian beauty, and asked curiously, "Brother Yuan Jing, where did you get them?" "I entrusted someone to go out and found it directly from Persia." "Why did you take them to Middle-earth?" "In order to nourish the body of the first assistant." Qi Jiguang leaned close to Zhang Juzheng's ear and whispered, "Shoufu, pick up yin and replenish yang to nourish the body. These two orchids are better than the thousand-year-old ginseng on Changbai Mountain!" "What are their names?" Qi Jiguang approached the two Persian beauties, pointed at Zhang Juzheng and said to them: "This handsome bearded man is the chief assistant Mr. Zhang we told you about. He is your master. Tell the master yourself, what are your names?" The one on the left took a step forward, squatted down with a blessing, and then said: "The slave girl is called Aguli, and she is my sister." The one on the right imitated her elder sister and said salutely, "The maidservant's name is Briya, she is my younger sister." The two sisters are not very fluent in Chinese, but they seem to understand the etiquette of the big man's boudoir.Zhang Juzheng praised: "These two sisters remind Bugu of Nuer Huahua, a natural beauty with a variety of charms:" "The two of them have been in Middle-earth for half a year, let's let them stay in Ji Town first, and assign special personnel to train them." "It's rare that Marshal Qi is so caring." "It's Chinese New Year, if you give me a pig's head, we have to give something in return!" Qi Jiguang made a joke, Zhang Juzheng patted him on the shoulder, and the two laughed knowingly.
