Chapter 241 240 Lingji Palace

Under Chen Ju's leadership, Wei Guangde left Xiyuan without saying a word. Of course, he didn't know the conversation in Ziguang Pavilion after he left.

After leaving the door, he got into the carriage parked outside the door. At this time, Chen Ju smiled and said to Wei Guangde: "Congratulations to Lord Wei, he will surely make a fortune in the future."

"I dare not, it's all His Majesty."

While Wei Guangde and Chen Ju were talking, the coachman drove the carriage away from Xiyuan and followed the road when he came. The carriage was driving away with the sound of the wheels crushing the ground.

At this moment, a small yellow gate had already run out of the Xiyuan gate, showed off his waist sign and entered the palace from Xihua Gate. He ran all the way and did not dare to stop. He walked through Guiji Gate and Huiji Gate to Wenyuan Pavilion where the cabinet was located.

"Who is the master of the court today?"

Xiaohuangmen arrived outside Wenyuan Pavilion and asked the clerk who was coming up.

At this time, the cabinet was in charge. Yan Song leaned against a chair, and a pot of freshly soaked Longjing was wafting out of the strong fragrance on the coffee table next to him.

At this time, Yan Song was obviously in poor spirits. After all, he was a decades old man and his energy condition was already much worse than before.

He actually felt a little overwhelmed with his daily office work. He either handed over the cabinet to Xu Jie or asked his son Yan Shifan, who was ordered to be dealt with.

The name Xiaoge Lao is actually not a lie, it is still a real thing.

Although Yan Shifan did not join the cabinet, he was doing the work that only the cabinet master could do.

At this moment, Yan Song was resting aside, while Yan Shifan, who was writing the case after writing the case, was looking at the various memorials on the case. After reading it, he wrote down his handling opinions on a note, and then posted them on the memorials, which is commonly known as "publication".

Afterwards, these memorials written with the bill will be sent to the Sili Supervisor for approval.

Of course, before sending these memorials away, he would also choose some key points to tell his father Yan Song. Otherwise, if Yan Song asked in front of Emperor Jiajing, he would not know about it and give the emperor a feeling of old and uselessness, that would be a bad thing.

At this time, someone outside the door reported that the Xiyuan sent a note.

From the little yellow gate, he took the letter from Emperor Jiajing with both hands. Yan Song smiled and nodded at him, and asked him to go down, then he looked at the words written on the note.

"Looking for chapters and sequels."

The words on the note are as concise as before, just one idiom, which is examining them, the cabinet ministers.

you guess?

Guess me or not?

I dare not not guess.

He whispered it out of his mouth, and before he could say anything, footsteps sounded outside the door, and Xu Jie came in.

He saluted Yan Song first, and then bowed to Yan Shifan on the side. Yan Shifan replied with a perfunctory gift, and this paragraph was over.

"Zisheng, look at this post, what does Your Majesty mean?"

As he said that, Yan Song handed the note in his hand to Xu Jie.

Of course, the matters of the cabinet must be discussed first by their cabinet ministers, and then ask Yan Shifan if they don’t understand.

"Looking for chapters and sentences?"

Xu Jie was confused when he read the words on the note and couldn't figure out what it meant.

"Your Majesty should be summoning Wei Guangde this afternoon. This should have something to do with him, but I really can't guess what it means."

Xu Jie looked at the note in his hand, thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Are you dissatisfied with what he did in Xuanfu? Let's take his fault?"

"No, the Xuanfu battle was good, so where can I find the mistakes."

Yan Song shook his head and said.

"Haha, please take a look at the East Building. I really can't think of what it means."

While Xu Jie was chatting and laughing, he handed the note to Yan Shifan.

Yan Shifan was not polite, so he reached out to take it and looked at it and smiled, "Looking for the chapter and sequel.

The quote comes from the notes of Pei Songzhi of "The Three Kingdoms, Book of Wu, Biography of Wu Zhu": "(Zhao Zi) sent Wei, Emperor Wen of Wei was good at it, mocking Ji, saying, "Does the King of Wu know much about learning?" Ji said, "The King of Wu floated thousands of ships in the river, with millions of armor, appointed talents, and had aspirations to maintain strategies. Although he had spare time, he read books and spread history, and learned strange things, but he did not just follow the students to search for chapters and sentences."

King Wu had a million ambitions, but he still took the time to read a lot of books instead of learning Confucian scholars only focused on the words in the text without exploring their spiritual essence.

hiss."

Yan Shifan said that he was breathing air conditioner. This is why Emperor Jiajing was optimistic about this Chuanlu, so he gave such an evaluation.

Thinking of this, Yan Shifan looked at his father, then at Xu Jie, as if he had realized something.

If you can lead troops to fight, but you still have to study more. Isn’t it just to let Wei Guangde stay in the Hanlin Academy to continue studying?

It was obvious that the note from the Ministry of War was rejected by the emperor, so he chose to let Wei Guangde continue to stay in the Hanlin Academy to cultivate one's own character.

Nima, this means to be admitted to the cabinet.

Yes, among the cabinet masters over the years, there seems to be no one who has been leading troops outside.

Emperor Jiajing was psychologically shady by Altan Khan's surprise attack, and he wanted to install cabinet ministers who would lead troops in the cabinet.

Yan Shifan thought a lot in an instant. Before, he was just guessing why the emperor picked up Wei Guangde. Now he is basically sure, that's it.

Thinking of this, the first thing Yan Shifan thought of was Hu Zongxian, who is now in Zhejiang.

Yes, after Zeng Xian's death, if anyone in the Ming Dynasty civil servants still understood military affairs, there was only Hu Zongxian. Now he is still leading troops to suppress Japanese pirates in Jiangnan.

However, Hu Zongxian also had one problem, that is, his palace examination results were not good at that time, so he was directly sent to Shandong as a county magistrate after two years of observing politics in the Ministry of Justice.

Therefore, there are actually a little obstacle for Hu Zongxian to enter the cabinet. He is not from a Hanlin family. Although Hanlin is not a necessary condition for entering the cabinet, there will still be fewer voices of support.

However, Hu Zongxian started as a county magistrate, served as the inspector, the inspector, the governor, and the governor to the military affairs of Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Fujian and other departments, and became a real chief official.

However, the biggest obstacle to preventing Hu Zongxian from entering the cabinet was actually his main job now, which is to eliminate the Japanese pirates.

If he can complete the task of extermination of Japanese pirates, it would be a foregone conclusion to enter the cabinet, but can the Japanese pirates be exterminated?

If the suppression is immortal, Hu Zongxian will have no foundation to enter the cabinet and it will be impossible to succeed. The emperor will not nod and the ministers will not agree.

This time, Jiangnan has offended a large number of Jiangnan officials because of the Japanese suppression and additional food and wages, not to mention that they have become infamous in the local area.

Yan Shifan shook his head. Hu Zongxian seemed to have no hope of entering the cabinet.

Not to mention the suppression of Japanese pirates, can that thing be destroyed?

At this time, Yan Song and Xu Jie were both looking at him. He had said the source of the search chapter and excerpted sentences before. They both understood, but in the end, they couldn't understand Yan Shifan's air-conditioning movement and were waiting for him to give the answer.

It seems that Yan Shifan understood the meaning of Emperor Jiajing again, and he deserved the title of "the number one genius" mentioned by Emperor Jiajing.

Then, Yan Shifan explained to them the meaning of Emperor Jiajing that he analyzed.

No one can give me some advice, and sometimes I can't figure it out for a long time. If someone understands it, they will instantly figure out what it means.

"Then send that memorial in. I'll send someone to inform Wen Mok and tell him not to talk about this anymore."

Xu Jie said to Yan Song.

Emperor Jiajing has such a hobby, and he likes to write notes to make people guess what he means.

No matter how you say this, it’s just an idiom, with a few complicated words that are completely unaware of.

Fortunately, the riddle guessing master Yan Shifan was helping in the cabinet, so he could basically guess the emperor's intentions.

This is also the fundamental reason why Yan Song was able to stand tall in the court at the age of 80. He was able to understand the holy intention, not to guess, but to understand.

Xu Jie naturally didn't have this ability yet, so he could only follow Yan Song closely.

Wei Guangde took a carriage back to Jiujiang Guild Hall, but this time when he was passing by the Hanlin Academy, Wei Guangde got out of the car and went in, wanting to see if Lord Yin Tai of the School is in the public room now.

He said goodbye to Chen Ju, and Chen Ju still wanted to wait for him outside, but Wei Guangde smiled and said, "I'm afraid there will be a gathering of colleagues tonight, so I can't leave for a while, so Chen Ju asked the driver to drive away."

Fortunately, I was lucky. Yin Tai did not have a Zhan Shi Mansion today, and was still in the Hanlin Academy. When he saw Wei Guangde coming over and said in a little surprise, "I also said I would send someone to inform you. I just came back and I can rest. I will give you five days off first."

"The official has met Lord Yin."

Wei Guangde hurriedly saluted and said respectfully: "Your Majesty summoned me just now. When you go back, you said you come in and ask for instructions to see when I will be on duty in the yard."

"This time Xuanfu did a good job. At first they were quite worried about you, but everyone was relieved until the war report was reported back to the capital."

Yin Tai smiled and talked to Wei Guangde. After a while, the bachelors and others in the Hanlin Academy came over and shouted that they wanted to see the great hero Wei Guangde.

As Wei Guangde guessed, most of the colleagues in the Hanlin Academy were alone in the capital, so naturally there was no such thing as taking care of their family. That night, I found a restaurant nearby for a meal.

The drunk Wei Guangde was helped by Zhang Ji and Li San to help him back and stayed in the Hanlin Academy. Wei Guangde asked Lu Bu to go to Jiujiang Guild Hall and told them to come and pick him up later.

The next day, Wei Guangde did not stay in the Jiujiang Guild Hall to rest, but went to the famous temple in the capital to find someone to count the time. He had to give priority to moving his house.

I can't buy a house, it's always empty, it's been two months since I've been there.

As for where to find someone, Wei Guangde had already thought about it, so he naturally went to the famous Taoist temple in the capital to find a master.

At this time, there were many temples in the city of Beijing, and the incense was prosperous, and Lingji Palace was one of the best.

Lingji Palace is located in the inner city of Beijing, west of the Forbidden City, which is now in the north of Xidan. It has fallen and disappeared with the demise of the Ming Dynasty. To this day, there is only a place name called "Lingjing Hutong".

However, at this time, Lingji Palace was a famous Taoist temple in the capital.

Wei Guangde had a few days off, but he cherished it very much, and he finally had free time.

Li San drove the carriage into Chongwenmen and walked along the bustling street. It was still the road that Wei Guangde walked yesterday.

When Wei Guangde arrived at Lingji Palace, Wei Guangde had also been here before. The book "The Supreme Yellow Talisman" was bought here and is still in the Hanlin Academy. It has not been flipped for a long time.
