prosperous age

Chapter 248 Chapter 247
Xu Huai was obviously Xu Bangrui's confidant, he knew such confidential information, and was sent to inform Wei Guangde.

"Eldest Young Master is still unable to enroll in the Imperial Academy at the Ministry of Rites?"

After listening to Xu Huai's narration, Wei Guangde frowned slightly and asked.

"Yes, the Eldest Young Master asked me to come to Beijing this time, just to hear what Master Wei can do?"

At this time, Xu Huai stared at Wei Guangde, and said word by word: "The eldest son said that the son and he are not outsiders, so tell the truth."

"Does the eldest son want to come to Beijing to study at the Imperial Academy?"

Wei Guangde smiled slightly when he heard the words, and then asked.

What Wei Guangde thought at the moment was, since Nanjing has already been run by others like an iron bucket, why not jump out and go directly to Beijing Guozijian to study.

If Xu Bangrui really has the idea of ​​competing for the Duke of Wei, he should understand the principle of being close to the water and building first when he comes to the capital.

For a super-rank title like Wei Guogong, the successor must be approved by the emperor, and the decree must come from Beijing.

But after he said that, he shook his head when he saw Xu Huai, "I'm afraid the eldest son can't leave Nanjing City."

Wei Guangde understood, Xu Huai's analysis made sense, Wei Guogong Xu Pengju would probably not agree with Xu Bangrui leaving Nanjing and out of his control, let alone going to Beijing.

Just now, Wei Guangde just said it casually, and didn't think more about it.

However, if someone made trouble in Beijing, Xu Pengju would definitely have some guesses, and the spearhead would be aimed directly at him.

Nima, you dare to help your son cheat Laozi before you get married, of course you can't do it.

Considering the long-term interests, Wei Guangde naturally hopes that Xu Bangrui will have the last laugh. As for the old man, he can put it aside for the time being.

"What's the situation in the Duke's mansion now? Also, did the second son go to the Imperial College to study?"

Wei Guangde recalled what Xu Huai said earlier, the first time the two brothers were asked to go to the Ministry of War in Nanjing to learn the strategy of leading the army. As a result, the second son Xu Bangning was unwilling to go and wanted to continue to be his dandy. Could it be so easy to change course and go to the Imperial College to study? up?

Wei Guangde was deeply disbelieving in his heart, so he asked Wei Guogong's mansion what's going on now, and by the way, to see if the second young master went to school or not.

"After the second son signed up for the Ministry of Rites, he went to the Imperial College to report for a day and never went there again. After that, he was still the same, ostentatiously passing through the city of Nanjing, having a great time playing cockfights."

Xu Huai didn't just talk about the current situation in Wei Guogong's mansion, but first talked about the current situation of the second son Xu Bangning.

"As for the Duke's Mansion, not much has changed now. Although Mrs. Zheng has been very prosperous for a few days after receiving the imperial order, constantly inviting nobles from Nanjing and officials' wives, but inside the mansion, it is still the same.

Anyway, the eldest son is still old after all, and she can't handle it casually.

It's the same with Miss's place. We basically don't have any contact with them in the mansion, so it doesn't affect us. "

Xu Huai replied with great interest.

"You stay in the mansion first, let me think about it."

Only then did Wei Guangde speak to him.

Called Zhang Ji outside, and took Xu Huai down to rest.

In fact, it is still easy to deal with this matter, but Wei Guangde does not have the resources in this regard now.

The whole matter, Wei Guogong Xu Peng organized it a bit too much, or there were indeed too many problems.

The matter of defrauding the imperial court's order has a great impact.

As for the subsequent operations, they are actually redundant, but if you do it, you will cause trouble for yourself instead.

In fact, the breaking point of the whole incident lies in who will fire the first shot. As long as someone fires the first shot and puts the matter on the table, the rest of the matter will be easy to handle. There are a lot of idlers in the Metropolitan Procuratorate Just wait for the memorial to impeach people.

Naturally, Wei Guangde couldn't do this. He had to find someone to disclose the matter in Nanjing. This was also the inevitable result of his lack of contacts when he first entered the officialdom, and he couldn't find anyone who would start.

There was no one to choose, so Wei Guangde had to wait slowly. Fortunately, Wei Guogong's mansion was the same as before, and the two houses did not communicate with each other.

Wei Guangde planned to think for two days before writing a letter to Xu Bangrui for Xu Huai to take back.

In fact, the relationship between the two is basically settled, it is better to contact the uncle first.

However, on the second day when he was on duty, Wei Guangde entered the Hanlin Academy and returned to his public room to read, not long after he heard a burst of noise from outside.

"Lu Bu, go and see what's going on?"

Wei Guangde put down the books in his hand and shouted to the scribes outside.

The Hanlin Academy has always been very quiet, but it would not be such a big commotion for no reason.

Wei Guangde took a sip of the tea on the table, ran in from the outside without putting down the ruble in the teacup, and said, "Master Wei, just now the Yinzhang Academy asked everyone in the courtyard to go to the library to look up ancient books, looking for records about Ganoderma lucidum."

Wei Guangde frowned upon hearing this, put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Why did you find out so quickly?"

"When I left the hospital, I met someone who came to deliver the message."

Lu Bu quickly explained.

"Who wants to check the records of Ganoderma lucidum?"

Wei Guangde asked casually.

"The Ministry of Rites, Wu Shan, and Wu Shangshu passed it down. It seems that the emperor asked Wu Shangshu about Ganoderma lucidum."

Lu Bu was also surprised when he heard the news, and asked an extra question out of curiosity. Unexpectedly, Wei Guangde also asked this question like him.

Hearing that Lu Bu said that it might be the emperor's question, it is not surprising why there is such a big movement.

Wu Shan was afraid that he would not only mobilize the Ministry of Rites, but also the Imperial Academy to help. After all, there are a lot of books here.

"My lord, let's pack up and go to the library."

Seeing that Wei Guangde was sitting there not moving, Lu Bu hastily reminded him.

"Well, you're right."

Wei Guangde nodded and smiled.

Wei Guangde was not curious that Emperor Jiajing suddenly asked about Ganoderma lucidum. Even in his previous life, it was an era of rapid technological development, but many people were still deceived by the mysterious color of Lingzhi.

Yes, even though the ingredients of Lingzhi have been thoroughly analyzed in later generations, many people still regard it as a panacea and fairy herb, surpassing ginseng in status. Naturally, various health products sold under the banner of Ganoderma are indispensable.

As for the Ming Dynasty
After thinking too much, Wei Guangde knew that he couldn't delay for too long. After all, this matter may involve the emperor, so it's better to be active.

After staying in the library for a whole morning, I found a lot of books, but I had to sort them out and collect them to send them over.

During this period of time, Wei Guangde also found out clearly that it was really the emperor who was asking about the Ganoderma lucidum, and obviously he had obtained some kind of prescription, and that Ganoderma lucidum was really going to be used as medicine.

Emperor Jiajing was not good at this point, he became obsessed with cultivating Taoism, and became addicted to taking medicine.

In fact, Emperor Jiajing did not practice Taoism in a day or two. It is said that he was in poor health when he was a child, and he relied on Taoist priests from a Taoist temple near Anlu to recuperate his body.

His father was also very enthusiastic about Taoism, which naturally inspired the young Zhu Houcong.

In the first years when he was the emperor, he still spent most of his time on government affairs, but as time went by, his temporarily suppressed spirituality revived again.

After securing the throne, he became obsessed with Taoist practice.

As for Linzhi, according to the "Shen Nong's Materia Medica", Ganoderma lucidum ranks among the "top grade", "strengthening the body, strengthening the foundation, eating for a long time, lightening the body and not getting old, prolonging life and immortality".

Wei Guangde knew that Lin Zhi's strengthening the body was recognized by traditional Chinese medicine. As for long-term food, no one believed in light body and immortality.

It's impossible.

In the afternoon, Wei Guangde went to help sort out the books he found, and he was very busy.

It's so easy to get to the next shift, the work must not be finished, and I can only wait for tomorrow to continue.

Wei Guangde left the Imperial Academy, because his current house is too close to the government office, so now he doesn't let Li San drive over to pick him up, but after he is on duty, if there is no drinking party with his colleagues, he will hang around Walk back leisurely.

Of course, guards such as Zhang Ji and Li San must have followed behind him.

Leaving the Imperial Academy and turning a corner, Wei Guangde heard someone wailing in front of him, still cursing something.

Wei Guangde didn't take it seriously either, there were people like this in that era, who would cry and make a fuss when things went wrong in work and life, just let it out.

Only those who have no desires and no desires can think about it, not like this.

It was just crying in this place, and I didn't see Fanzi or the soldiers patrolling the city driving people away. The houses near here are all government offices of the imperial court, so the influence is not good.

Now it's time for the next day, and it won't take long for many people to notice the movement here.

But for Wei Guangde, these things have little to do with him, so he continued to walk forward, and before he turned the corner, there was the so-called "high mansion compound", surrounded by officials on duty in the court.

Turning to the corner of the street, after turning around, I saw a man whose age was not clear was crying on the side of the road, and the two fans beside him were pulling him out, obviously trying to pull him out of the boundary of Nanxunfang.

There are too many high-ranking officials and nobles here, and it would be bad to bump into the nobles.

"Master, let me go, woo woo woo. I want to avenge my grievances. You can't do this. Damn God, open your eyes, these dog officials."

Wei Guangde glanced there unconsciously, who the hell are you scolding?

Now here, except for his official uniform, it seems that there are no officials here.

As for the two fans, they also noticed the situation here. Dongchang is very close to the imperial power, but it also depends on which emperor they follow.

The current Emperor Jiajing doesn't like the eunuchs very much. Factory guards, factory guards, now is the era when the Jinyiwei is suppressing the East Factory. Even the people who were selected from the Jinyiwei to the East Factory with them are actually inside the Jinyiwei. The party that loses the battle naturally has no pretensions.

Seeing Wei Guangde's official clothes, the two fans quickly looked at Wei Guangde with a smile, their strength increased a bit, and their movements became rough, kicking and pulling him out.

"Human life is at stake, do you still have a conscience? Woohoo. My daughter died so badly"

For such a person, Wei Guangde is not very interested, but he heard his daughter die so badly, daughter?

Wei Guangde understands that it must be caused by some dandy in the capital, but it's also strange, why don't you go to Shuntian Mansion to file a complaint and come here.

But after thinking about it, I'm relieved, if the Shuntian Mansion dared to take care of it, it probably wouldn't be a problem.

In the Ming Dynasty, Dengwen Drum was established during the period of Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and a special person was assigned to manage it. Once a wronged person complained, the emperor personally accepted it. If officials obstructed it, they would be severely sentenced.

At the beginning, it was well implemented, and it played a great role in the supervision of officials. However, during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, an official once played to cancel the Dengwen drum. The Emperor Xuande refused to accept it as the establishment of his ancestors. form.

Now, Dengwengu is still outside the imperial city, but can ordinary people approach it?

Shaking his head slightly, Wei Guangde could only pity this woman in his heart.

His way forward needs to pass by the three people who are being dragged, but Wei Guangde will not get involved in troubles in the future, and choose to walk on the other side of the street, away from them.

As he approached, Wei Guangde noticed that the clothes on this man seemed to be a bit particular, unlike ordinary people, but they were already sloppy and messy, obviously suffered a lot, and his face was stained and haggard.

It looked really pitiful.

This is not the commercial area of ​​the capital, and there are not many pedestrians. Fanzi probably dragged this person here from the government office area. If he walks on the street, it will inevitably attract countless people to watch and cause trouble.

Obviously, these fans had a lot of experience on how to deal with these petitioners from the Ming Dynasty. There were only big households on this street, and they all went in and out by horses and sedan chairs. There were really few people walking on the road like Wei Guangde.

Perhaps it was because Wei Guangde was dressed in official clothes, and there were several followers behind him. Although he didn't have a frame, he was still an official.

When Wei Guangde passed by across the street, the man who was being dragged kicked one of them down forcefully, pushed the other away, and turned around. Rush towards Wei Guangde.

This scene happened very quickly. Li San and the other guards just took it as a joke when they watched the two gangsters control the man, and didn't care. This sudden change caught them off guard.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the man rushing towards him, Wei Guangde quickly jumped to the side, and dodged it, but the man rushed in a hurry, and fell on the spot where he was standing just now.

Is this the Ming Dynasty version of Porcelain?
He watched a lot of short videos like this in his previous life, and Wei Guangde's first reaction was not to see whether someone was hurt or not, but to think of Pengci.

At this time, the two fans had already rushed forward, held down the man and punched and kicked him.

"Ahh. I'm fighting with you"

The man was yelling and cursing, and he kept turning his body to get up, but he couldn't get up when he was pressed down, so he could only be beaten unilaterally.

"Dog officer, you must die."

Perhaps seeing that Wei Guangde didn't intend to intervene, the man finally looked sideways at Wei Guangde, his eyes widened with anger, and he began to curse.

Wei Guangde didn't move his feet after jumping to the side, just watched the scene quietly.

Judging from just now, this person wanted to file a complaint in the government office, and Shuntian Mansion probably didn't dare to take care of it.

Can I manage it myself?
No, I'm from the Hanlin Academy, who cares?
Although Wei Guangde felt sorry for this man, he was unable to do justice for the heavens.

Clear flow and turbid flow, that's not the case.

Wei Guangde never regarded himself as a clean stream, nor did he want to become a dirty stream.

"If you are wronged, go to Shuntian Mansion or the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and other yamen will not care about you."

Wei Guangde said leisurely.

"You are all dog officials, you dare not make decisions for the people, you will suffer retribution."

What Wei Guangde said, the man just kept cursing.

Didn't read the almanac when I went out, Wei Guangde sighed in his heart.
