prosperous age

Chapter 309 Chapter 308
"At that time, you should think so, and you should not do anything."

Regarding Chen Yiqin's words, Wei Guangde just responded with a smile.

Seeing that everyone else was frowning and thinking, Wei Guangde didn't hide it. On the way back to Beijing, he was thinking about Yang Shun and Lu Kai being taken back to the capital by Jin Yiwei for questioning. Does Mr. Yan Ge know the details?
But no matter what, Lu Bing was the one who handed the knife behind his back, Yan Song would not be surprised.

It's interesting to think about it, Yan Song's godson Qiu Luan was killed by Yan Song and Lu Bing jointly.

The later godson Zhao Wenhua was also killed by Lu Bing's black hands. The cause of death is still unknown. Although the way of death reported below is incredible, no matter what, he is dead.

The same is true for Yang Shun now. Lu Bing handed over the knife and Wei Guangde made a fake hand. Now he has been sent to prison.

Wei Guangde also asked someone to inquire after returning home, and now both Yang Shun and Lu Kai chose not to plead guilty.

Of course, you can't admit that you have killed a good person and pretended to be a meritorious deed. Once you admit it, you will not only kill your head, but you will also leave a bad reputation for thousands of years and implicate the descendants of the family.

But this is not important anymore, because the grievances between Lu Bing and the Yan family cannot be resolved. Although it will affect Yu Dayou's future, compared with Conglong Zhigong, it seems that Yu Dayou should continue to stay in Fusi Prison in Beizhen. better.

"This time to bring down Yang Shun, Dudu Lu was behind the scenes. You must have thought that without Jin Yiwei's secret report, how could the emperor doubt Xuan Da?"

Wei Guangde continued.

After the voice fell, someone at the table suddenly realized, but Duo still nodded slightly.

No matter what happened, they would habitually think of Lu Bing first. After all, it was Jin Yiwei, the existence that civil servants were most afraid of.

"No matter what happens to Yang Shun in the end, whether Mr. Yan Ge can keep him, the Yan family and the Lu family may continue to fight fiercely in the future until one side falls down."

After Wei Guangde said this, he looked at everyone, and continued to speak: "I think, when the two of them are fighting fiercely, and it is best when the Yan family is weak, it is a good time to invite King Jing to take up the feudal domain. I think Governor Lu will also give full support."

"Difficult, it is very difficult for Lu Bing to suppress Yan Song."

Contrary to Wei Guangde's expectation, he thought that everyone would analyze and think carefully after he finished speaking, but he didn't expect to speak with a high arch.

Gao Gong is not concerned that Lu Bingzhi does not support King Yu, but that Lu Bing's power and influence are far less powerful than Yan Song.

"The time for Lu Bing to gain the upper hand is very short, because of Jin Yiwei's relationship, that is, when Yan Song was taking a nap, he suddenly entered the palace secretly and caught them by surprise, but this is the same for us.

Perhaps at that time, we were also in a daze, not knowing what happened, and the Yan family had already recovered the situation. "

Gao Gong analyzed that he had studied the Yan family a long time ago and found that Yan Song and Yan Shifan's ability to deal with crises is really strong. No matter how difficult the environment is, they can quickly find a way to break the situation and turn the situation around.

About Zhao Wenhua's incident at the beginning, in fact, Gao Gong thought about it in private afterwards. Lu Bing's plan at the time was not just to bring down Zhao Wenhua, but he needed an opportunity, an opportunity for a foregone conclusion.

This opportunity is that Zhao Wenhua was taken into the Imperial Prison, and when he was in the Imperial Prison, he, Lu Bing, had a lot of means to make Zhao Wenhua reveal his dealings with the Yan Mansion and the shady things he did. When the time comes, the pleadings will be sent to Emperor Jiajing pay.

It's just that Yan Song was still shrewd. He played the family card, and finally made Emperor Jiajing soften his heart and let Zhao Wenhua go, so that he would not be imprisoned.

As for the way of Zhao Wenhua's death, according to the doctor, doctor and others that Gao Gong contacted in private, it is more likely that Zhao Wenhua was killed by poison.

Perhaps it was Lu Bing who saw that it was not enough, so he did it secretly, and directly used poison to force Zhao Wenhua to explain the situation. In the end, Zhao Wenhua chose to stand up and died. Made up, or made up on purpose.

Gao Gong's meaning is very clear. Both sides have handed in their hands, and they still don't know what happened. How to judge the timing?
This may be difficult for others, but Wei Guangde doesn't think so.

He may be able to detect some of Lu Bing's plots in advance by walking around with Lu Bing more, or through the relationship with Chen Ju in the palace, he can learn some information in time and make a judgment.

But it's not easy to walk around with Lu Bing frequently, after all, the other party's identity is sensitive.

The last time he went to Beizhen Fusi in a big way, he only saw Lu Bing once, and left in a mere one or two minutes, because that time he was going to see Uncle Shi, that is, Yu Dayou, and Wei Guangde was not afraid of being bullied. Others know about it.

Yu Dayou has been fighting Japanese in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, and Jiujiang Wei went out twice to participate in the suppression of Japanese. It is normal to know each other.

If you see that Yu Dayou is now in jail and ignore it, in fact, in the officialdom, it is easy to be left behind, a snob who forgets righteousness for profit.

But before that, Wei Guangde still has to wait for the news from Xiyuan. Regardless of whether he is summoned or not, his errand is completely over. his attitude.

Anyway, it is impossible for the Yan family to prepare swords and axes to serve him.

According to Wei Guangde's thoughts, the Yan family's attitude towards him is most likely to be the same as usual, but they will be wary in the future and remove him from the list of officials they can win over, and they will not get close to him in the future.

If the Yan family's attitude towards him remains the same, Wei Guangde will be worried and restless, because this indicates that the Yan family will take revenge on him, and who can withstand the blow of the Shoufu family.

What Wei Guangde is most afraid of is that Yan's family doesn't want to see him, and he is not even allowed to enter the door. However, based on his understanding of Yan Song, maybe the head of Yan Shifan will do this, but he will never do it when Yan Song is still there. .

Therefore, in the future, he can still wander between Yan Mansion, Jinyiwei and Xiyuan, looking for that chance.

Since Long Zhigong, Wei Guangde has just arrived, no matter how hard he tries, he can never surpass Gao Gong's status in King Yu's heart, so he chooses to find another way to drive King Jing away, as long as King Jing leaves Beijing, his Yu The status in Wang's mind should be improved in a straight line. Although he can't surpass Gao Gong, he won't fall behind too much.

Wei Guangde doesn't believe that King Yu is as honest as the rumors from the outside world, so doesn't he have any hatred for his brother?
Being low-key now is actually just a last resort due to lack of strength.

"I don't know when the opportunity will show up, but I know that the opportunity is fleeting."

Wei Guangde said frankly to Gao Gong, "But before I disappear, I will definitely find out. Maybe at that time, I can only pass a note or a message to represent the opportunity. You have to follow the previous plan to send someone to come immediately." I invite King Jing to join the feudal clan."

"Are you so sure?"

At this moment, Wei Guangde and Gao Gong were having a direct conversation, and the others just sat quietly and looked at the food and drink on the table. No one touched their chopsticks and wine glasses, because they all listened carefully to their conversation with their ears up.

When Wei Guangde said that he might find the opportunity ahead of time, Jia Yingchun, the highest official household minister here, unconsciously twitched.

After he returned to Beijing, he already knew from the contact with the people in Prince Yu's Mansion that Wei Guangde had known the news in advance two months before the change of situation in Beijing and China and predicted that Zhao Wenhua would fall. What kind of ability is this?
Now he said with full confidence that he was sure to find such a chance, which can be described as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Obviously Wei Guangde has a very high-level eyeliner in the palace, otherwise he would never dare to let go of such a big talk.

"Is there any possibility now?"

Because Wei Guangde didn't answer his question directly, Gao Gong suddenly felt his blood pressure soar. He also thought that Wei Guangde knew about Zhao Wenhua's downfall two months in advance, so he naturally wondered whether Wei Guangde had already learned something that they didn't know, so that this A seemingly impossible thing becomes a reality.

Gao Gong asked urgently, which naturally made Li Fang, the eunuch next to him, feel the urgency to urinate in an instant, because he was excited.

The conscience of heaven and earth, for those of them who have no eggs, what they hope most is that the master they serve can succeed in the top position, and they can also be like those great eunuchs in the palace, going in and out, hugging each other and enjoying luxury Desperate life.

Others soon realized this, and looked at Wei Guangde with red eyes, because this represented their meritorious deeds, and represented their opportunity to step into the fast lane of promotion and quickly enter the high-level rights of the imperial court. circle.

Yes, as long as it is confirmed that King Yu is the prince of the country, all the officials of the royal family will rise with the tide.

Even if Emperor Jiajing is still in power, he will never continue to suppress them, but will put them in some positions for sharpening, so as to prepare for better assisting King Yu in the future.

Perhaps, among all the people present, only Wei Guangde was secretly complaining in his heart at this time, and his pretense was a bit too much.

I didn't see such an opportunity, but I was just thinking on the way back to Beijing that I could use the issue of "Jiufan" to further improve my status in King Yu's mind.

But judging from their reactions, they obviously thought about it, thinking that they had an opportunity to take advantage of, what's the matter?

Wei Guangde's thoughts changed, he knew that at this time, he must not categorically deny it, otherwise it would be counterproductive and leave them with the impression that they are only talking about it.

This doesn't work.

"Not sure, just a possibility."

Wei Guangde could only bite the bullet and say in a low voice, if it weren't for the sound of needles dropping in the room at this time, the people around him might not be able to hear what he said clearly.

Wei Guangde also figured it out, first he said there was such an opportunity, as for two or three months later, he said that the opportunity disappeared, and it didn't appear as expected, so he postponed the matter.

But based on Wei Guangde's understanding of Yan Shifan, the eldest son must be dissatisfied with what Lu Bing did, and he may retaliate, and the struggle between the two sides may break out at any time.

Now I don't know if there is a chance, but it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, maybe it will happen, so my great contribution to Conglong can be considered as a success.

Wei Guangde didn't know, because his thought at this time made His Royal Highness Zhu Zaiyi, who was anxious and eagerly waiting in Yuwang's mansion every day, wait for more than a year.

At this time, in the Xiyuan Yongshou Palace, the candles had already illuminated the palace as brightly as day. Emperor Jiajing had just completed a practice session, and was listening to the memorial sent by the Chief of Rites after dinner.

"There used to be more than [-] troops in Jizhen, but now there are only more than [-] people registered, and more than [-] people have fled. Seeing that there are too many old and weak people to fight."

"clang"

The little eunuch below was reciting the memorial in his hand, but was suddenly interrupted by the sound of the copper bell knocked by Emperor Jiajing on the throne. The little eunuch stopped reading immediately, put away the memorial, held the memorial in both hands and bent down to wait for the emperor's order.

"They're back, and they should come back after a while."

It took a long time for Emperor Jiajing on the throne to speak, but then there was a burst of strange laughter.

"Hey hey hey, they are all my good subjects, ah ha ha ha."

After a creepy laugh, Emperor Jiajing stretched out his hand, "Huang Jin, bring me the memorial, I want to see how many of them there are, hehe."

The memorial that Tang Shunzhi and Wei Guangde drafted together was held in front of Emperor Jiajing by Huang Jin with both hands, and he snatched it away, opened it, and flipped through it.

"9 people, there are more than 5, and there is no more than [-], hehe, they dare to eat so many people's military pay, so they are not afraid that I Dahan will come in again, and they will all lose their heads, hehe"

Emperor Jiajing carefully looked at the text on the memorial, and kept talking.

The "Gengxu Change" in the 29th year of Jiajing was undoubtedly the most conceited emperor who thought he had managed the world in an orderly manner. His face was severely rubbed under the horse's hooves by Altan Khan.

Altan Khan's army was raging around Gyeonggi, and as the Son of Heaven, he could only agree to Altan Khan's "mutual market" request in exchange for the Tatars' retreat, which was extremely humiliating.

After that, the revenge plan was stillborn, and it was because of the enmity that Qiu Luan had done in Datong that he became even more furious, and he would not let Qiu Luan die, so he directly opened the coffin and slaughtered the corpse.

Although the retaliatory plan of the Northern Expedition was abandoned, the court still overhauled the Great Wall in the north and east of Beijing.

It connects the east to Shanhaiguan, the west to the border city of the town, and connects the thousands of miles of walls and intersections. At the same time, the Great Wall under the jurisdiction of Huanghuacheng in Jizhen connects with the Great Wall under the jurisdiction of Sibozhi in Yizhen to the north.

In Emperor Jiajing's mind, it's only been a few years since Al Da Khan has ravaged Ji Town, so there shouldn't be many vacancies there, at least the people who eat should be protected.

It wasn't until he saw someone submitting a statement that he paid attention to it, and he had to pay attention to it.

"Snapped."

After Emperor Jiajing read the memorial twice, he fell heavily on the imperial book table.

"Call Tang Shunzhi and Wei Guangde to Xiyuan before noon tomorrow."

Emperor Jiajing couldn't sit still, and immediately gave Huang Jin instructions.

He understood the memorial, and only mentioned the shortage of the army, which was more than [-]% short. It is conceivable that the military households would not be much less than this figure.

The overhaul of the Great Wall a few years ago may have really harmed the military households and the people of Jizhen.

What Tang and Wei didn't say clearly, Emperor Jiajing would naturally guess, it's not good-looking to write in memorials, and they all need to be archived, so that future generations can see them at any time.

With this kind of Spring and Autumn brushwork, at least it looks better.

"Ji Town is like this, so what about the others, ha ha"

Just when everyone thought the matter was over, Emperor Jiajing murmured a few more words, and then chuckled lightly.
