Chapter 115 Returning to Beijing pragmatically (Part 1)
That night, Commander Xue had even made arrangements for the subsequent reception of Gao Pingshi, and planned to invite Gao Shidu to Yuqing Temple early tomorrow morning.
This Yuqing Temple is actually a name card of the small town of Kaiping. It is the holy land of Quanzhen Sect and the first Taoist temple in the east of Beijing. According to legend, Boyi and Shuqi, the sons of the ancient Guzhu monarch in the late Yin and Shang Dynasties, left the country and walked through Shicheng (that is, Kaiping
), it was midsummer, and the two of them were hungry and thirsty. Suddenly they saw a gurgling clear spring, so they took a handful of the spring and drank it all. They suddenly felt clear and refreshing, and their hunger and thirst were all gone. This gurgling spring water later came to Tangshan.
The "Yuqing Ancient Well" in the Yuqing Temple. The two brothers wandered around the spring and were extremely satisfied, so they decided to live in a cottage here and practice Taoism and seek immortality. A few years later, the two brothers left and went to Shouyang Mountain without knowing where they were.
end.
In the Tang Dynasty, when Emperor Taizong was on his eastern expedition, he passed through Shicheng. One of the soldiers who accompanied the army was skilled in the art of looking at qi. He saw that the purple air here was as misty as a flying luan, and the immortal energy condensed like an elixir cauldron, so he left the army and lived here in seclusion to practice Taoism. In the early Yuan Dynasty, Qiu Chuji, a real man from Changchun
One of his disciples settled here, and it was named "Qingming Temple". Later, during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Sanfeng, a slovenly Taoist, took several disciples to visit here and left for a few days, leaving one disciple to live in meditation and practice, so the name was changed to "Qingming Temple".
"Yuqing Temple". During the Jiajing period, Yuqing Temple underwent large-scale renovation and expansion, and gradually became the largest and magnificent Taoist temple in ancient Kaiping Town, highly regarded in Jingdong.
Literati have always respected Buddhism and Taoism, and most of them respect both religions. In short, they would rather pretend to believe in it than offend them openly. What if gods really exist?
Therefore, Commander Xue thought that he could play a guest role as a tour guide tomorrow to further win over Gao Shidu. Although he knew that Gao was pragmatic, he still felt that children were easier to coax than adults.
But in the early morning of the next day, Gao Jingshi had just woken up. Gao Mo came to report that Gao Guoyan, the second young master of the second room, and the people whom Gao Jingshi wrote to invite last time, had arrived in the capital together, and were now waiting for Gao Jingshi to return to the Grand Master's Palace to make arrangements.
.
Of course, this matter is much more important to Gao Jingshi than playing, but Commander Xue was inevitably a little disappointed after receiving the news. Gao Jingshi comforted him and said that he would still have business to run here in the future, and he would definitely come again, and finally let him
He reluctantly agreed.
Commander Xue was not discouraged, and he was busy arranging for people to send Gao Pingshi out of the city until he reached the border of the jurisdiction - he did not dare to send him too far away. After all, the guardsmen could not leave the country at will unless ordered to do so, not to mention that this was near Gyeonggi Province.
, if you deploy troops at will, you will lose your head.
Qi Jiguang came here just to meet Gao Jingshi. Since Gao Jingshi also wanted to return to Beijing early, he just happened to go with him. There was no conversation all the way, so he set off early in the morning and arrived in Jizhou to rest in the evening.
One more thing to say here is that although Jizhou has a General Military Office, Jizhou General Soldier actually does not stay in Jizhou most of the time, but in Zunhua County in the northeast of Jizhou - that direction is the most frequently visited area.
Areas invaded by the Mongols.
However, in addition to being the commander-in-chief of Jizhou, Qi Jiguang also served as the prime minister of military training. Zunhua could not place such a large army, so he was considered the commander-in-chief of Jizhou who had stayed in Jizhou City for a relatively long time.
But there is a disadvantage, that is, he, the commander-in-chief, is not the one who has the final say in Jizhou.
Who has the final say in Jizhou? Liu Yingjie, governor of Shuntian.
What? Where is the Governor of Ji Liao, you ask? Well... The current Governor of Ji Liao is stationed in Miyun County, directly on the first line of defense behind the Gubeikou, the north gate of the capital - the Ming Dynasty is so magical and very pragmatic.
The familiar meaning of "in the face of a major disaster, party members and cadres go first" is not like that of some dynasties, where all the frontline troops were wiped out and the commanders were still in the capital.
Of course, the governor-general, governor, and commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty were not legally permanent officials in theory, and their locations frequently changed, and this situation is not the norm at the moment. For example, as mentioned above, Jizhou has
Jizhou General Soldier Yamen, but in recent years Jizhou General Soldier has mainly stayed in Zunhua County, but in fact the spring station of Shuntian Governor should be Zunhua (the autumn station is Changping), etc... There have been too many changes.
There is even no trace to be found. Basically, it can be understood that a certain big shot in the court felt that there should be a change, and the emperor said it was okay, then these border ministers would be ordered to change their locations.
The reason why this kind of "instability" is far more obvious than that of the Qing Dynasty is largely due to the fact that in order to show that the Ming Dynasty did not forget its roots in the system, it always insisted on treating the governor-general, the governor's censor, and the general soldier as temporary dispatched officers.
Anyway, the number one boss in Jizhou is currently Shuntian Governor Liu Yingjie, who has not run away. When Gao Pragmatic was still on the road, he was thinking about visiting Liu Junmen - the governor in the Ming Dynasty was often called Junmen because he
Not only did he have administrative power, but he also had military power. For example, the full title of the governor of Shuntian was "Governor of Shuntian and other prefectures, and also in charge of the border areas of Jizhou and other places."
However, when he asked Qi Jiguang how to deal with Liu Yingjie, Qi Jiguang told him that Liu Junmen was not in Jizhou at the moment. Gao pragmatically asked why, and Qi Jiguang replied that it was his suggestion that Tan Lun and Liu Yingjie fully supported the construction of the hollow
The enemy tower has been basically completed. Governor Tan is currently inspecting the use of the hollow enemy tower in the Changping area, while Liu Yingjie went to Zunhua in Jizhou for on-site inspection, so he may be on the Zhongyi Zhongwei side east of Zunhua.
After Gao Pingshi heard this, he was a little disappointed at first, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was okay. After all, he was still too young and had no famous family background. Although he relied on his status as the prince's companion and the "fake bachelor",
In front of nobles and military ministers, he was quite strong, but in front of a big boss like Liu Yingjie, who was called a "military civil servant" in later generations, he was completely worthless.
You know, he is the same year as Zhang Juzheng, and he is also one of the few big bosses in Zhang's party. Even when facing Gao Gong, he can't bow his head. It is not like Qi Jiguang who can only call himself "little Qi who is a lackey" when writing to Zhang Juzheng.
"Some" poor military minister.
Well, if you can't see him, you can't see him. Anyway, Sanbo and the others are trying to win over Liu Yingjie. His inexplicable meeting with Qi Jiguang at this time may not alarm Zhang Juzheng, but if he still goes to visit Liu Yingjie, Zhang Juzheng may take action.
Yes, that would be very unsightly.
So Gao pragmatism, who had rested casually for a night in Jizhou, called the servants who just left him at Qi Jiguang's place for training the next day to show his care. Each of them was given an extra five taels of silver as a reward, and continued.
Surrounded by a group of servants and guards, he embarked on the road back to the capital.
