prosperous age

Chapter 615 Chapter 614

"You go to the Ministry of Officials, you can also help me think about these two days, what positions should Wang Ning, Yin Leshun, Liu Fenyong and others take, after all, they are all from the palace."

The people mentioned by King Yu all came to the King Yu's mansion in the early days. Many of them are only the second in command in the yamen in recent years, with little real power.

But since they had made a choice at the beginning, and they would do their best to do so as long as the Prince Yu Mansion asked, King Yu also treated them as his cronies.

As far as Wei Guangde was concerned, Emperor Longqing asked him to go to the Ministry of Officials and asked him to try to arrange these people, which seemed to have the intention of transferring the relationship of these officials from Li Fang's hands to his.

Is this to expand my manpower in the court?

Wei Guangde was suspicious, but he didn't ask, but bowed his head and said: "I obey the order."

Wei Guangde thought that the conversation would be over by this time, should he take his leave and leave, but before he could say anything, Emperor Longqing said again: "Think about it again, is it necessary to register the matter of the crown prince now?" .”

"Prince? Your Majesty, is it Gao Shang's request to directly register the crown prince? Shouldn't it be to bestow the prince's name and ceremonial note? I remember that although the late emperor bestowed a name on His Highness, he did not pass it on to the Ministry of Rites. "

Wei Guangde asked with a frown.

Emperor Jiajing didn't allow Zhu Yijun's name to be listed on the Jade Document, and that was intentional. He was worried that if he got the Jade Document, he would be a member of the royal family, and if he saw him from the top of the city gate, he would follow in his brother's footsteps.

Simply give the name and not issue the jade certificate, so that you can't officially enter the royal family.

"Yes, he said that the canonization of the prince and the naming of the prince can be done together."

Emperor Longqing explained, "I'm a little uncertain."

Now he only has one son, Zhu Yijun. If there is no accident, that is, if Chen Wangfei has nothing to do, then the kingdom of Ming Dynasty will fall into Ren's hands in the future.

This is the rule of the Ming Dynasty to determine the crown prince. He is not as good as King Jing in all aspects, but he still has the support of many people, which is why.

As the actual beneficiary, he certainly cannot break this rule.

Moreover, he also likes Zhu Yijun very much, otherwise he would not have arranged for a master early on.

"Your Majesty, the empress has not been registered yet, so it is really not suitable to register a prince at this time."

Wei Guangde replied after thinking for a while.

Although Concubine Chen has no children, he is the successor chosen by Emperor Jiajing after the Zhang family. In any case, the queen must be her.

Now that the crown prince has been registered in a hurry, it will be troublesome if Concubine Chen has a son in the future, that's why Wei Guangde gave this suggestion.

Emperor Longqing nodded, "I figured it out. At first I just felt something was wrong. As soon as you mentioned the queen, I understood."

"If there is nothing to do during this period, you will go to the school record hall, and hurry up to complete the transcription of the grand ceremony. This is what the emperor asked me to go there that day, and he personally explained it. Be sure to do it well."

Emperor Longqing immediately ordered again.

"The minister obeys the order."

Copying books has been his job for these years, and he is very proficient, but he read too much, and sometimes he feels dizzy.

"The Ministry of Rites, the Hanlin Academy, and the Imperial College have sent all the people they can. The burden there is heavy, and I will leave it to you."

Before Wei Guangde left, Emperor Longqing left the throne and walked in front of him to give instructions.

As a son, Emperor Longqing naturally had to do well what his father had told him to do.

Give it to Wei Guangde, he can rest assured.

After leaving the Forbidden City, Wei Guangde went directly to the School Records Hall, and hadn't been there for a while.

Because Wei Guangde had been in the palace all the time, Lu Bu didn't dare to give him a point, so when Wei Guangde opened the point book, the front was completely blank.

But it doesn't matter, I just came out of the palace, and I indicated the time when I was on duty, and I just indicated the reason later.

"Who is in charge in the school records library now, is it Zhang Shaoqing?"

Wei Guangde asked Zhang Juzheng, of course, he didn't come for a while, and Zhang Juzheng was in Taichang Temple, so he didn't know if he was in charge of the affairs here.

"It's Mr. Zhang who is in charge. He comes to make arrangements every day at Maoshi, and then hurriedly went to Taichang Temple on business."

The clerk in the document room replied hastily.

"Yes, there have been a lot of things going on in the court recently."

Wei Guangde sighed.

"Master Wei is the same. Both Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhang are busy, so they hurried back to the library when they have free time, which made a certain admirer."

The scribe flattered him with a flattering smile.

Regarding this, Wei Guangde just smiled, these officials will have fewer chances to deal with him in the future, and the future is just like that, there is really no need for a deep friendship.

Walking into his yard, Lu Bu was still sitting in the yard in a daze. There had been too many changes during this period, and he was a little confused for a while.

For some days, no one contacted him, so he consciously did his job well.

But Wei Guangde has been accompanying the new emperor in the palace, and he doesn't know if he will come back here.

If he didn't come back, he didn't know if he would still think of himself, so he transferred himself to follow him.

Although he is a secret agent of Jinyiwei, he also knows that he can enjoy a good life only by following a good leader. It would be a bit unwilling to leave Wei Guangde because of this, after all, he is now a three-payer.

The money from Captain Jinyi, the silver from the scribes and the money from the Wei Mansion alone are enough for him to live a comfortable life in the capital.

If he can't work with Wei Guangde, and he doesn't know when he will be sent out again, then there is only one captain's money to take.

While thinking wildly, Wei Guangde's figure appeared at the gate of the courtyard.

Lu Bu rubbed his eyes and hurriedly got up to meet him, "Master, you are back."

"Well, it's not bad, I'm not lazy."

Looking at the clean yard, Wei Guangde smiled, and then ordered: "Send all the manuscripts that have accumulated these days, and I will see how many there are."

"Manuscript?"

Lu Bu was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that even King Yu had ascended the throne and became emperor, and Master Wei Wei Guangde was still sent back to take care of copying books.

"Master, Mr. Zhang didn't share the previous manuscripts with us, but handed them over to other housing schools for recording."

Lu Bu hastily explained.

"Master Zhang is very kind, otherwise the room would be full of manuscripts, hehe."

Wei Guangde understood that Zhang Juzheng was not sure about his next stop, so he assigned the manuscript to another room for processing, which saved him a lot of trouble.

"When distributing tomorrow, let them still follow the previous rules, and all parties will distribute the manuscripts equally."

Wei Guangde ordered Lu Bu to preach.

If you have nothing to do today, it’s okay. It’s good to rest for half a day, just to understand the current situation in the school record hall.

"I heard that the number of Confucian writers has increased a lot. The officials of each branch school, will the Hanlin Academy send more people?"

Wei Guangde asked.

"Yes, hundreds of people have been added, many of them are supervisors of the Imperial College, and they all transcribed at the Imperial College. The branch officials also came, including editors Sun Ding, Hu Jieyin, Jiang Jin, and several others."

After all, Lu Bu stayed in the Hanlin Academy for a long time, and he opened his mouth when he mentioned people's names.

"Well, that's fine."

Wei Guangde nodded, it was a good idea if there were people, otherwise it would be an impossible task to finish transcribing the ceremony in three months.

"Sir, sit down first, I'll boil water and make tea for you."

Wei Guangde had already entered the room and sat down, Lu Bu said hurriedly and ran out to get busy.

After Lu Bu went out, Wei Guangde began to think about what Emperor Longqing had told him, how to arrange those people.

I didn't get real power before, and I definitely can't now. I have to let them take care of their errands.

Scooping some water into the inkstone, Wei Guangde began to grind the ink himself.

When Lu Bu brought the tea in, Wei Guangde had already ground the ink, and after Lu Bu went out, he spread out a piece of paper to recall the information of those people and their positions.

A promotion must be promoted, even if the grade cannot be changed temporarily, it must be transferred to the real power yamen, especially the important yamen.

With an idea in mind, Wei Guangde picked up a pen and began to write, so that it is safer to write first and then revise, and there will be no mistakes.

"Wang Ning, the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, moved to the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple to be in charge of the Secretary of Shangbao. Yin Leshun, a member of the Household Department, was appointed Secretary of Shangbao, and Liu Fenyong, a member of the Rites Department of Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple. Wu Zidong, the head of the Ministry of Rites, was appointed Secretary of Shangbao. Zhou Weifan, a member of Shaoqing’s servant book system and imperial office, is the Chancellor of Guanglu Temple.

Constantly adding names, and constantly deleting and modifying, it took a long time to work hard to roughly determine the official positions for them.

The days went on like this, Zhang Juzheng came over after knowing that Wei Guangde had returned to the school record hall.

"Shan Loan, I'll leave the matter here to you, Taichang Temple has complicated affairs these days, it's really"

Zhang Juzheng still maintained his customary elegance, and said to Wei Guangde when they met.

"Brother Uncle, I know all this, you just go to work, I'm here, nothing will go wrong."

Wei Guangde laughed happily.

Zhang Juzheng already knew that his participation in the drafting of the will made the relationship between him and Gao Gong extremely bad, and there was almost no room for recovery, but what could he do?

In the face of that huge temptation, he couldn't calm down, let alone his teacher asked him to do it.

In fact, Zhang Juzheng had already figured it out when he was writing, and he was just pretending to be stupid in the next few days.

On the one hand, there is a huge benefit from the teacher, at the cost of hating Gao Gong;

How to choose, the benevolent see benevolence and the wise see wisdom.

After getting in touch with Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng didn't think he was a good friend, otherwise he wouldn't have often said those things to Wei Guangde in Prince Yu's mansion.

Zhang Juzheng knew the people in Prince Yu's Mansion very well, and everyone seemed happy on the surface, but in fact, most of them had great opinions on Gao Gong.

Therefore, to turn against Gao Gong is not necessarily to turn against the whole King Yu's subterfuge, and he naturally wants to keep his original appearance to Wei Guangde.

In the final analysis, it was just me fighting with Gao Gong, and it had nothing to do with others.

There is also no handover procedure, Zhang Juzheng himself is not in charge of the school records office, but hastily left after going to the office over there to transfer the affairs to Wei Guangde.

Wei Guangde will not intervene too much in the distribution of manuscripts by the school record library, and only requires equality. Of course, for high-efficiency officials, the proofreading task of one or two manuscripts can be appropriately increased.

As for Feng Ya, there is no such thing as Feng Ya in the School Records Office at this time, it just keeps doing it.

Two days later, Zhengdan Festival, the first month of the first month of Longqing, when one hundred officials entered the palace to celebrate, the branch school officials had a rare chance to take a rest for a day. The next day, the court meeting was delayed for another two hours, and everyone hurried back after it was over.

In this way, people from the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites came here every day to learn about the progress of the transcription, which made Wei Guangde very irritable.

But he knew the reason, the Ministry of Rites had to grasp the speed of copying the books here, and estimate the time when the book would be completed, so as to confirm the time of Yongling with the Ministry of Industry.

Before the first lunar month, news finally came out from the palace. Emperor Longqing issued two decrees one after another. Zhang Juzheng was promoted to be a bachelor of the Imperial Academy to be the right servant of the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, and Yin Shidan was promoted to be a bachelor of the Imperial Academy. In charge of the courtyard.

Wei Guangde's official position surpassed Yin Shizhen's because he participated in the transcription ceremony. His diligent work satisfied Emperor Jiajing, and his dedication earned him two chances to improve his rank.

In any case, Wei Guangde felt that he should still do a good job in the work at hand, and not ignore this mess just because the old emperor died, it was his last wish after all.

Wei Guangde had already handed over the original note to Emperor Longqing through Chen Ju, but there was no decree for the time being.

Perhaps Emperor Longqing was still busy stamping the imperial edicts for conferring posthumous titles, Wei Guangde sometimes thought to himself in the school records library.

"My lord, today Hu Yingjia presented two memorials."

Lubu was still the same, when Wei Guangde was schooling, he went outside to inquire about the news from the court, and informed Wei Guangde when he was resting.

"The military and state affairs of the ancestral dynasty were all bowed to the ministers. Since the Emperor Yingzong came to the throne in the year of Chong, the ministers occasionally created an example of the early dynasty from the expediency, so they followed it without changing it. Officials follow into various places, and Chen Zou can have a preview, and the system of the country ordered the six divisions to be recorded around the palace. As soon as you enter, anyone who is unfaithful in the performance, listen to his face-to-face debate or retreat to discuss, then the ministers will pay the money sincerely and the holy body will be hoisted."

Looking at Hu Yingjia's first memorial, a sneer appeared on Wei Guangde's face. He thought he could represent the six subjects?
It seems that the rights of the six subjects have been greatly increased, who will agree?Do people from the sixth department dare to accept it?
However, the development of the situation quickly exceeded Wei Guangde's imagination. He did not expect that the people from the Sixth Division would dare to take the bait thrown by Hu Yingjia.

At this time, the ministers of the court came to Chen one after another, and the great scholars Xu Jie, Li Chunfang, Guo Pu, and Gao Gong each asked to retire from Chen. This is how Jingcha started.

Yang Bo, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was in charge of assessing the officials in the capital, and privately demoted them to Zheng Qin and Hu Weixin, the censor, and protected the village. Shanxi people had no inferior assessment.

Ying Jia impeached Yang Bo for his personal anger, demoted officials, and shielded his fellow countrymen. Hu Weixin also went to the public to expose Yang Bo's unfair inspection of officials, his manipulation, and fraud.

In this regard, Gao Gong, a university scholar who had been at odds with Hu Yingjia for a long time, retaliated privately, accusing Ying Jia and Weixin of "playing falsely with the party and officials, and drawing up an order to denounce it for the people", which caused an uproar in public opinion.

During the incident, Ouyang Yijing, Xin Zixiu, Yu Shi Chen Lianfang, etc. were not satisfied, and they all handed over memorials to the rescue, accusing Gao Gong and Xu Jie of dictatorship, so Ying Jia was saved from disaster and transferred to Jianning Tuiguan.

Wei Guangde didn't expect that the officials of Kedao would be so good at fighting, they would help Hu Yingjia to speak when they knew there was little chance of winning, especially Ouyang Yijing's joining, Wei Guangde hadn't heard his notice beforehand.

Although Ouyang Yijing handed over a note afterwards, he didn't want him to be difficult so he didn't inform him, and he participated in protecting Hu Yingjia not because they were right, but to save Ke Dao's face.
