Chapter 248 247 Going out without reading the almanac
Xu Huai is obviously Xu Bangrui’s confidant. He knows such confidential information and was sent to inform Wei Guangde.
"The eldest son is still unable to register for admission to the Imperial Academy at the Ministry of Rites?"
Wei Guangde frowned slightly and asked 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 has any ideas?”
Xu Huai stared at Wei Guangde at this time and said word by 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 College? ?”
Wei Guangde smiled slightly when he heard this, and then asked.
What Wei Guangde was thinking right now was that since Nanjing was already being run like an iron bucket, why not jump out and go directly to the Imperial College in Beijing.
If Xu Bangrui really has the idea of vying for the Duke of Wei, he should understand the principle of first-come-first-served when he comes to the capital.
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.
Just after he said the words, he saw Xu Huai shaking his head, "I am afraid that the eldest son cannot 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 is the situation in the Duke's Mansion now? Also, has the second son gone to the Imperial College to study?"
Wei Guangde remembered what Xu Huai had said before, asking the two brothers to study at the Nanjing Ministry of War for the first time. The strategy of leading the army turned out to be that the second son Xu Bangning was unwilling to go and wanted to continue to be his playboy. Could it be so easy to change his mind and go to the Imperial College to study?
Wei Guangde was deeply disbelieving, so he asked what was going on in Duke Wei's 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 Academy to report for a day and then never went there again. After that, he was still the same as before, swaggering around Nanjing, having a great time fighting cocks and horses."
Xu Huai did not I will only talk about the current situation in Duke Wei's mansion, and first talk 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 royal decree, and kept inviting Nanjing nobles and officials' wives, but inside the mansion, it is still the same as before. .
No matter. After all, the eldest son is still old, and he can’t be manipulated casually.
The same is true for the young lady. We basically have no contact with the house, so it won’t affect us. "< br>
Xu Huai replied knowingly.
"You stay in the house first, let me think about this matter."
Wei Guangde said to him at this time.
Call Zhang Ji outside and take Xu Huai down to rest.
Actually, 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 matter of defrauding the imperial court has a great impact.
As for the subsequent operation, it is actually redundant, but if you do it, 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. The Metropolitan Procuratorate There are a lot of idle people inside who are waiting to write memorials to impeach people.
Of course 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 the person who would 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 plans to think about it for two days before writing a letter to Xu Bangrui for Xu Huai to take back.
The relationship between the two families is basically settled, but we still need to contact my uncle 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 bursts 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 has always been 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 and said, "Master Wei, just now Yin Zhangyuan asked everyone in the courtyard to go to the library to check ancient books and find Notes 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."
Ruble explained quickly.
"Who wants to check the records of Ganoderma lucidum?"
Wei Guangde asked casually.
“The words passed down 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, so he asked more questions out of curiosity. After saying this, Wei Guangde did not expect that Wei Guangde would also ask this question 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 need help. After all, there were a lot of books here.
"Sir, let's pack up and go to the library."
Lu Bu saw that Wei Guangde was sitting there with no intention of moving, so he hurriedly reminded him.
“Well, you are 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 Linzhi.
Yes, even though the ingredients of Linzhi have been thoroughly analyzed in later generations, many people still regard it as an elixir, elixir, surpassing ginseng. Naturally, various health care products under the banner of Ganoderma are indispensable. Products for sale.
As for overthinking in the Ming Dynasty
Wei Guangde knew that he could not delay for too long. After all, this matter might involve the emperor, so it was better to be more active.
After spending a whole morning in the library, I found a lot of books, but I still had to sort them out and collect them before sending them out.
During this period of time, Wei Guangde also found out clearly that the emperor was really asking about Ganoderma lucidum. Apparently he got some prescription and really wanted to use Ganoderma lucidum as medicine.
Emperor Jiajing was not good 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 ranks among the "top grade", "strengthening and strengthening the root, long-term consumption, lightening the body and not aging, and prolonging the life of gods".
Wei Guangde knows that Linzhi's method of strengthening the body and strengthening the body is recognized by traditional Chinese medicine. As for long-term eating, no one believes that it will 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 hard to get through to the next level. 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 is too close to the government office, so now he will not let Li San drive over to pick him up. After the game, he wandered back on foot.
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 those who have no desires and desires can think openly, and this will not happen.
I was just crying in this place, but I didn’t see the fans or the government officers patrolling the city driving people away. The buildings near here are all the government offices of the imperial court, and the impact is very bad.
Now is the time for the next shift, and soon many people will notice the movement here.
But for Wei Guangde, these things have little to do with him, so he continues to walk forward. After turning the corner, there is the so-called "Gaozhai Compound", surrounded by people who live in the imperial court. worthy official.
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 I glanced over 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 does not like eunuchs very much. Factory Guards, Factory Guards, now is the time for Jinyiwei to suppress Dongchang. Together with them, those who were selected from Jinyiwei to Dongchang, In fact, they are all on the losing side of the internal struggle within Jinyiwei, so naturally they have no Dongchang airs.
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 dragging people outside. .
"Human life is at stake, do you still have a conscience? Woohoo. My daughter died so miserably."
Wei Guangde is not very interested in such a person, but after hearing his words He said 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 dared to take care of it, this matter would probably not happen.
Dengwen Drum was established in the Ming Dynasty 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, the implementation was in place and the supervision of officials was very important. However, during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, an official once petitioned to cancel the Dengwen drum. After hearing the drum, it became more of a formality.
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 way forward needs to pass by the three people being pulled, but Wei Guangde will not cause trouble in the future and chooses 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 particular. 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 looks really pitiful.
This is not the business district of the capital, and there are not many people coming and going. Fanzi should 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.
Maybe it was because he saw Wei Guangde dressed in official clothes and with 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 man who was dragged calculated that this was the moment when the two were closest to each other. He kicked one fan down hard and knocked down the other fan. Pushed away, turned around and rushed 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 toward him. Wei Guangde quickly jumped to the side and dodged. However, the man rushed forward in a hurry and fell down on the spot where he was standing.
Is this the Ming Dynasty version of Pengci?
I have watched a lot of short videos like this in my last life. Wei Guangde’s first reaction was not to see if someone was injured, but to think of a fight.
At this time, the two fans had already pounced on the man, punched and kicked him.
"Ah, I will fight with you"
The man yelled and cursed, and his body kept turning and wanted to get up, but he couldn't get up after being pressed down, so he could only stand alone. Being beaten.
"Dog officer, you must die a good death."
Perhaps seeing that Wei Guangde had no intention of intervening, the man finally turned his head to look at Wei Guangde, his eyes widened angrily, and he began to curse.
Wei Guangde did not move his feet after jumping to the side, and just watched this scene quietly.
Judging from just now, this is someone who wants to come to the government office to file a complaint, 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 Hanlin 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 Prefecture 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.
I didn’t read the almanac when I went out, Wei Guangde sighed in his heart.
