The Prosperous Era of Longwan

Xu Huai was obviously Xu Bangrui's confidant. He knew such confidential information and was sent to inform Wei Guangde.

"The eldest son is still unable to register at the Ministry of Etiquette to enter the Imperial Academy?"

Wei Guangde asked with a slight frown after listening to Xu Huai's story.

"Yes, the eldest son asked me to come to Beijing this time just to hear if Mr. Wei can do anything about it?"

Xu Huai stared at Wei Guangde at this time and said word for word: "The eldest son said that he and he are not outsiders, so he told the story exactly."

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

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

What Wei Guangde was thinking at the moment was that since Nanjing was already being run like an iron barrel, why not jump out and go directly to the Imperial College in Beijing.

If Xu Bangrui really has the idea of ​​​​fighting for the Duke of Wei, when he comes to the capital, he should understand the principle of those who are closer to the water and the better.

For a superior title like Wei Guogong, the person who ascends the title must be approved by the emperor, and the decree must come from Beijing.

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

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

Just now, Wei Guangde just said it casually without thinking more about it.

However, if someone makes trouble in Beijing, Xu Pengju will definitely make some guesses, and the target of the attack will be directly aimed at himself.

Damn it, you haven't even gotten married yet, so you dare to help your son deceive me. Of course it won't work.

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

"What's going on in the Duke's Mansion now? Also, has the Second Young Master gone to the Imperial College to study?"

Wei Guangde remembered what Xu Huai had said before. The first time he asked the two brothers to go to the Nanjing Ministry of War to learn the tactics of leading troops. As a result, the second son Xu Bangning was unwilling to go and wanted to continue to be his dandy. Is it so easy to change his mind and go to the Imperial College to study? Already?

Wei Guangde was deeply disbelieving, so he asked Duke Wei what was the current situation in his house, and also to see if the second young master went to study.

"After the second young master signed up at the Ministry of Rites, he went to the Imperial College to report for a day and then never went there again. After that, it was still the same as before, swaggering around Nanjing, having fun with cockfights and horses."

Xu Huai didn't just talk about the current situation in the Duke of Wei'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 the Zheng family was very prosperous for a few days after receiving the imperial edict, and kept inviting Nanjing nobles and officials' wives, but inside the Mansion, it is still the same as before.

In any case, the eldest young master is still old after all, and it is not something she can manipulate casually.

The same is true for the lady. We basically have no contact with her at home, so it won't affect us. "

Xu Huai replied knowingly.

"You stay in the mansion first and let me think about this matter."

Only then did Wei Guangde say to him.

He shouted to Zhang Ji who was outside and took Xu Huai down to rest.

In fact, this matter can be easily handled, but Wei Guangde does not have the resources in this area now.

The whole thing was organized by Wei Guogong Xu Peng a little too carefully, or there were indeed too many problems.

The impact of defrauding the imperial court will be huge.

As for the subsequent operations, they are actually redundant, but if you do them, you will get yourself into trouble.

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 brings the matter to the table, the rest of the matter will be easier to handle. There are a lot of idle people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Just waiting for the memorial to be impeached.

Naturally, Wei Guangde couldn't do this. He had to find someone in Nanjing to make the matter public. This was also the inevitable result of his lack of connections when he first entered the officialdom, and he couldn't find anyone who could make the first move.

There was no candidate, so Wei Guangde had to wait slowly. Fortunately, the Duke of Wei's mansion was the same as before, and the two houses did not interact with each other.

Wei Guangde planned to think about it for two days and then write a letter to Xu Bangrui for Xu Huai to take back.

In fact, the relationship between the two families is basically settled, and it is better to contact the elder brother first.

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

"Ruble, go and see what's going on?"

Wei Guangde put down the books in his hands and shouted to the scribe outside.

The Hanlin Academy is always very quiet, but it will not make such a big noise for no reason.

Wei Guangde picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. He ran in from the outside without putting down the ruble in the teacup and said, "Master Wei, just now Yin Zhangyuan asked everyone in the courtyard to go to the library to check ancient books to find records about Ganoderma lucidum."

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

"I met the person who came to deliver the message just as I was leaving the hospital."

Ruble explained quickly.

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

Wei Guangde asked casually.

"The word came from Wu Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. It seems that the emperor asked Wu Shangshu about Ganoderma lucidum."

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

Hearing Lu Bu say that it was probably the emperor asking questions, it was no wonder why there was such a big movement.

Wu Shan was afraid that not only would the Ministry of Rites be mobilized, but the Hanlin Academy would also have to help. After all, there were a lot of books here.

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

Seeing that Wei Guangde was sitting there with no intention of moving, Lu Bu hurriedly reminded him.

"Well, you have a point."

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 Linzhi.

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

As for the Ming Dynasty

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

After spending a whole morning in the library, I found a lot of books, but I still had to sort them out and put them together for delivery.

During this period of time, Wei Guangde also found out clearly that the emperor was really asking about Ganoderma lucidum, and obviously got some prescription. He really wanted to use Ganoderma lucidum as medicine.

Emperor Jiajing was bad at this. He became obsessed with practicing Taoism and became addicted to taking medicine.

In fact, Emperor Jiajing's practice of Taoism was not a matter of one or two days. It is said that he had poor health when he was a child, and he relied on a Taoist priest from a Taoist temple near Anlu to take care of his health.

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

During his first years as emperor, he spent most of his time on government affairs. However, as time passed, his temporarily suppressed Taoist heart became active again.

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

As for Linzhi, according to the "Shen Nong's Materia Medica", Ganoderma lucidum is ranked among the "top grade" and can "strengthen and strengthen the root, eat for a long time, lighten the body and not grow old, and prolong the life of gods."

Wei Guangde knew that Linzhi's method of strengthening the body and strengthening the foundation was recognized by traditional Chinese medicine. As for long-term eating, no one believed that it would lead to immortality.

It's simply impossible.

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

It’s so easy to get through to the next hour. I definitely haven’t finished anything yet, and I can only wait until tomorrow to continue.

Wei Guangde left the Hanlin Academy because his current house was too close to the government office, so he no longer asked Li San to drive over to pick him up. Instead, after he got off duty, if there was no wine shop with his colleagues, he would wander around Walk back leisurely.

Of course, guards such as Zhang Ji and Li San must be following him.

After leaving the Hanlin Academy and turning a corner, Wei Guangde heard the sound of someone crying and cursing in front of him.

Wei Guangde didn't take it seriously either. There were people like that in that era. When things went wrong at work or in life, they would just cry and make a fuss and let it out.

Only people who have no desires or desires can think openly and will not do this.

I was just crying and making trouble in this place, but I didn't see any fanzi or government officers patrolling the city driving people away. The buildings near here were all government offices of the imperial court, and the impact was very bad.

It's time to go on duty again, and soon many people will notice the movement here.

However, for Wei Guangde, these had little to do with him, so he continued to walk forward. After turning the corner, there was the so-called "Gaozhai Compound", surrounded by officials who were on duty in the imperial court.

Turning to the corner of the street, after turning around, I saw a man whose age was unclear crying on the side of the road. Two gangsters beside him were dragging the man out, obviously trying to pull him out of the Nanxunfang area.

There are too many dignitaries here, and it would be bad if you bump into them.

"Master, let me go, wuwuwu. I want justice. You can't do this. Damn it, open your eyes, these dog officials."

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

Now, except for him wearing official clothes, there seem to be no officials here.

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

The current Emperor Jiajing doesn't like eunuchs very much. Factory guards, factory guards, now is the era when Jinyiwei suppresses Dongchang. Together with them, those who were selected from Jinyiwei to Dongchang are actually within Jinyiwei. The party that loses in the fight naturally has no airs about Dongchang.

Seeing Wei Guangde's official clothes, the two fans quickly looked at Wei Guangde with a smile. The strength in their hands increased a bit, and their movements began to become rough, kicking and pulling the person out.

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

Wei Guangde had little interest in such a person, but when he heard the words from his mouth that his daughter died miserably, daughter?

Wei Guangde understood that the trouble must have been caused by some dandy in the capital, but it was also strange. Why did you come here if you didn't go to Shuntian Mansion to complain?

But when I think about it, I feel relieved. If Shuntian Mansion dares to take care of it, it probably won't be a problem.

The Ming Dynasty set up the Denwen Drum during the reign of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty, and had dedicated personnel to manage it. Once an enemy complained, the emperor would personally accept the complaint. Any officials who obstructed it would be severely punished.

In the beginning, it was implemented well and had a great role in supervising officials. However, during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, an official petitioned to cancel the Dengwen Drum. Emperor Xuande refused because it was established by his ancestors. However, the Dengwen Drum was later mostly abandoned. form.

Now, Dengwen Drum is still outside the imperial city, but can ordinary people get close to it?

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

His path forward required him to pass by the three people being pulled, but Wei Guangde chose not to cause trouble in the future and chose to walk on the other side of the street, staying away from them.

As he got closer, Wei Guangde noticed that the clothes on this man seemed to be somewhat sophisticated. They were not like ordinary people, but they were slovenly and messy. He had obviously suffered a lot, and his face was stained and looked haggard.

It does look pitiful.

This is not the commercial district of the capital, and there are not many people coming and going. Fan Zi must have dragged this person here from the official area. If he walked on the street, he would definitely attract countless people to watch, which would cause trouble.

Obviously, these fans have quite a lot of experience in how to deal with these Ming Dynasty petitioners. There are only big households on this street, and people come and go by horse and sedan. There are really not many people like Wei Guangde walking on the road.

Perhaps it was because he saw that Wei Guangde was dressed in official clothes and had several followers behind him. Although he did not have a bicycle frame, he was still an official.

When Wei Guangde passed by across the street, the dragged man calculated that this was the moment when the two were closest to each other. He kicked one fan down hard, pushed the other fan away, and turned around. Rush towards Wei Guangde.

This scene happened very quickly. Li San and other guards had just watched the two fans controlling the man as a joke 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. However, the man rushed forward in a hurry and threw the garlic under his feet where he was standing just now.

Is this the Ming Dynasty version of Pengci?

In his previous life, he had watched a lot of short videos like this. Wei Guangde's first reaction was not to see if someone was hurt, but to think of a fight.

At this time, the two gangsters had already pounced on the man, punching and kicking him.

"Ah. I will fight with you."

The man yelled and cursed, and his body kept turning and trying to get up, but he couldn't get up after being pressed down, so he could only be beaten unilaterally.

"Young officer, you must die a happy death."

Perhaps seeing that Wei Guangde had no intention of intervening, the man finally looked sideways at Wei Guangde, his eyes widened angrily, and he began to curse.

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

Judging from just now, this person wants to come to the government office to complain, and Shuntian Prefecture most likely does not dare to take care of it.

Can you take care of it yourself?

No, I'm just from the Imperial Academy, who cares?

Although Wei Guangde felt sorry for this man, he was unable to do justice for heaven.

Clear flow and turbid flow, that's not all.

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

"If you have any grievances, go to Shuntian Mansion or the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Other yamen will not care about you."

Wei Guangde said leisurely.

"You are all dog officials and you don't dare to make decisions for the people. You will be punished."

Wei Guangde's words made the man just curse.

Wei Guangde sighed inwardly when he went out without reading the almanac.
