Chapter 250 249 Meet Chen Ju again

Wei Guangde read a lot of books when he was in Jiujiang Prefecture and had a general understanding of the records since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

The reports of the diary in recent decades have also been collected and analyzed, so when Geng An said he wanted to sue King Hui, he had roughly outlined the position of King Hui in the mind of Emperor Jiajing.

Fellow Taoist.

As for relatives, that's nonsense. What kind of relationship does it have to talk to the emperor?

However, when he got home, Wei Guangde discovered something. He seemed to have not even understood the matter of his brother-in-law in Nanjing, so he found a lawsuit to fight.

That night, Wei Guangde called Geng An and learned in detail about Henan officials in Beijing from him.

Wei Guangde only had errands from Hanlin Academy and Taichang Temple. Although he could also write a letter to impeach, he was not worth enough after all.

This understanding really made Wei Guangde's eyes lit up.

Geng An is from Junzhou. Among the officials from Junzhou who are from Beijing, the highest rank is the party who is pacified and balanced. He is also the right deputy chief envoy of the Censorate.

However, Wei Guangde asked him if he had filed a lawsuit with Dang Yiping in person, but the answer he got was no. Dang Yiping had sent overseas patrols to the disaster area in Shanxi during this period.

After the disaster in Shanxi and Shaanxi was in trouble, the court also took it seriously.

The imperial envoy sent before was Zou Shouyu, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, but because he was too tired during the process of handling the work, he soon died of illness on the way to inspect the disaster area.

After hearing the news, the court sent a censor to continue to supervise the local area, and also made a posthumous gift for Zou Shouyu, with posthumous titles and rewards.

The Party was sent to Shanxi and Shaanxi to supervise local disaster relief some time ago, but has not returned yet.

To help Geng An complain, he had to wait for Dang Yiping to come back. He was the right deputy commander, and it was just right to complain.

A few days later, Wei Guangde and his friends found all the books that had been found in the vast sea of ​​books, and then classified them and copied them to present them to Emperor Jiajing.

The lively Ming Dynasty version of the emperor opened his mouth and the scene where the officials ran and broke their legs finally ended.

In the past few days, Wei Guangde also asked someone to inquire about the news that he had been back in the same year as the Censorate was observing politics. Dang Yiping had been out for nearly three months and might return to Beijing to report his work in the near future.

The reason why it is possible is that the new censor selection work of the Censorate has not been completed and Dang Yiping wants to return to Beijing, at least he has to wait until the new censor takes over his work.

As for sending people to Junzhou to investigate the illegal affairs of King Hui, to be honest, Wei Guangde is not as capable as he is not as good as his staff.

Moreover, he did not dare to investigate a prince without authorization.

If he had a Censorate's sign on his head, he could do this.

The records about Ganoderma lucidum have been copied, and Yin Tai sent Wei Guangde to hand over the compiled copy to Wu Shan, Minister of Rites.

The Ministry of Rites’ yamen is not far from the Hanlin Academy, and it’s not far away to get there. Wei Guangde naturally took the order and went out for some breathing.

The environment in Hanlin Academy is quiet, but it is boring after staying for a long time.

Wei Guangde swayed out of the Hanlin Academy with the booklet and took Zhang Ji to the Ministry of Rites.

All the officials at the ritual department knew Wei Guangde, and there was no way. That incident scared the people from the ritual department.

After arriving outside the Wu Shangshu's public room, he asked the clerk to come in to report, Wei Guangde came into the house to see the gifts, and then delivered the compiled picture album.

Wei Guangde stayed in the Ministry of Rites for not long.

Although it was strange, Wei Guangde still realized that Wu Shan didn't seem to like him very much, so he didn't stop for much.

After leaving the Ministry of Rites, Wei Guangde was still thinking about where to go to the gangster time. It was still early to get off the date. After walking a few steps, he saw a man dressed in an eunuch coming from a distance, very familiar.

Wei Guangde thought about it carefully and remembered that this is Chen Ju?

I took him to Xiyuan last time, and later made an appointment to have a drink.

Chen Ju seemed to have seen Wei Guangde for a long time and walked over straight.

"Brother Chen."

Seeing this posture, Wei Guangde immediately clasped his fists and said.

After the last trip to Xiyuan, they took the time to make an appointment for a drink. During the meal, they were called brothers.

Of course, Wei Guangde remained awake at that time, but in fact he still wanted to curry favor with eunuchs like Gao Zhong and Chen Ju.

"Brother Wei, why don't you go to the Ministry of Rites to do business in the Hanlin Academy?"

They were just outside the red wall of the yard of the Ministry of Rites, and Chen Ju naturally talked about the Ministry of Rites.

"The Hanlin Academy found a lot of records about Ganoderma lucidum a few days ago. If you don't copy it, you will send it to the Minister of Wu's ceremony."

Wei Guangde smiled and explained the reason for his coming out.

"It's a coincidence that I came to the Ministry of Rites to ask about this."

Chen Ju smiled.

"Oh, is the emperor really looking for Ganoderma lucidum?"

Wei Guangde had heard before that the emperor asked Wu Shan about Ganoderma, and Wu Shan said that he would come back to find information, so he caused such a big disturbance.

In fact, the movement is concentrated in the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy, which plays with writing.

"Is the emperor going to open an altar to refine medicine again?"

Seeing Chen Ju nodding, Wei Guangde asked curiously.

"It is necessary to refine medicine. I have been taking a pill before. But the medicinal materials needed have not been collected yet. Master Liang said that several of them are difficult to find, but they can be replaced by Ganoderma lucidum. He also said that Ganoderma lucidum is an immortal herb in the world. Long-term use is of great benefit to cultivation, so His Majesty then asked Mr. Wu, who should be preparing to purchase it in large quantities."

Chen Ju looked around and said to Wei Guangde.

"Who is Mr. Liang?"

Wei Guangde asked curiously that he still knew some of the alchemists around Emperor Jiajing, but there seemed to be no one with the surname Liang.

"It's Liang Gao's assistant to Master Liang. This is a master of medicine refining. His Majesty likes the elixir he refines very much. This time he purchases Ganoderma lucidum to use it for him to refine medicine."

Chen Ju whispered.

"Why haven't you heard of this person's name before?"

Wei Guangde said a little strangely that the alchemists around Jiajing were all well-known.

"This Master Liang only knows how to refine medicine and does not know how to practice. If it weren't for the insufficient elixirs in the palace, he would not summon him. Therefore, he had few opportunities to enter the palace alone. Most of them were summoned when His Majesty refine medicine, so he did not have a reputation outside."

Chen Ju replied, "I'll go in and ask Lord Wu first to see when I can hand over what His Majesty wants."

While speaking, Chen Ju bowed and said to Wei Guangde.

"Don't delay Brother Chen from taking the job."

Wei Guangde also returned the courtesy immediately, but then he thought that it was not easy to bump into Chen Ju on weekdays, so he also wanted to seize this opportunity to get in touch with him for a while, and then smiled and said, "It's almost noon. If you don't worry, you might as well go and have a drink later."

"I'm not in a hurry. Now I can't get all the ingredients for refining medicines. Now that your Majesty has handed over the matter to my godfather, it's really a headache."

Chen Ju said with a smile.

"That is because Eunuch Gao serves the emperor with his heart, so he will gain the emperor's trust. Those medicinal materials are taken by the emperor. Naturally, people who can trust can only be relieved if they are not."

Wei Guangde said with a smile.

"My godfather is certain that he is loyal to His Majesty. He has good ability to do things and will be trusted by His Majesty."

Chen Ju responded.

"Yes, yes."

Wei Guangde nodded and flattered.

"Okay, I'll go in and take a look first."

Chen Ju bowed and said to Wei Guangde again.

"Brother Chen is here, I'm free, so I'll wait here for a while."

Wei Guangde immediately responded.

The two separated, Chen Ju walked to the entrance of the Ministry of Rites' yamen in a few steps, and then walked in.

"Young Master, are we just waiting here?"

At this time, Zhang Ji came up from behind and asked in a low voice.

"Are you a master or I a master?"

Wei Guangde asked casually.

"Of course you are."

Hearing this, Zhang Ji immediately stepped back and stood aside and stopped talking.

Emperor Jiajing is a person with a donkey temper. If you follow him, he will follow his will. If you go against him, he will be even more rebellious.

He is the kind of person who is unwilling to follow the requirements to do things. Just like the stubbornness shown by a donkey, he not only cannot lead or beat him, but he even takes a few steps back.

These are a judgment made by Wei Guangde after understanding the past national policies.

It is said that the Ming Dynasty was the cabinet that governed the world, but just for governance, the final decision was still in the hands of the emperor.

Therefore, Wei Guangde felt that it was important to have more contact with officials like Chen Ju and understand the character, habits and mood of Emperor Jiajing, especially during special periods.

When the emperor is in a good mood, big things will turn into small things, and vice versa.
