Chapter 262 261 Come with us

When the palace sent the memorials that had been left for several days back to the cabinet, Emperor Jiajing's instructions were soon spread among the officials in the court.

He was fooled by the emperor again.

Yes, most court officials who know the content of the Silijian criticism have a feeling of being humiliated and slapped in the face naked.

At first, the message was sent to the Ministry of Promotion Officer to go to Junzhou to investigate the case, but he turned around and was rejected. Then it was reported that the emperor planned to use the new Jinshi this year to handle the case. As a result, he picked out a censor at Henan Road of the Censorate and decided.

Looking back, Emperor Jiajing played like this actually not once, twice, and the warning was very strong.

Let’s look at this incident from Wei Guangde’s impeachment to the outbreak of the impeachment tide. The emperor is really dissatisfied with the current court officials.

Wei Guangde did not expect Emperor Jiajing to do this, and finally took a walk around and handed over the errand to the Censorate instead of actually using a new Jinshi to handle the case.

But when I think about it, I feel relieved. This is reasonable and leaves a little face for the court officials.

Just yesterday, the censor of the Censorate had already taken the emperor's order to go out of the capital and headed south.

At this moment, Wei Guangde sat alone in the room and looked at the letters from Nanjing.

The letter was brought by Xu Huai. Now he has become the messenger for Wei Guangde and Xu Bangrui to contact, and is specifically responsible for delivering messages back and forth.

Of course, Xu Bangrui had read Wei Guangde's reply, and Wei Guangde also bluntly stated that he would help him compete for his hereditary title.

When choosing between Xu Bangrui and Xu Bangning, Wei Guangde will naturally stand on the side of his elder brother who has not passed by his wife. This is undoubtedly a matter of no doubt.

The marriage between the family and the Xu family has begun to go through procedures, and it has been decided. Wei Guangde can no longer get rid of the identity of the Xu family's son-in-law at any time, and will be involved sooner or later, so why not take the initiative?

Although in Wei Guangde's opinion, getting married to the Xu family would not be of much benefit to him, and might even have adverse effects on his future career, his parents had already decided and he had no way to stop him.

In this letter, Xu Bangrui brought more information to Wei Guangde, including his father Xu Pengju’s relationship in Beijing.

Telling Wei Guangde this was also to make him take a little precaution, because he had already found out one thing, that is, after Wei Guangde led the Xuanfu army to repel Altan's headquarters in Bao'anzhou, his father had given a lot of generous gifts to the officials of the Ministry of War.

Wei Guangde felt clear when he saw this. He was also wondering why the Ministry of War was obsessed with him at the beginning, and insisted on letting him leave the Hanlin Academy and go to the Ministry of War to serve.

The person in charge of running through needles and threads is Wang Jihuai, the current assistant coach of the Imperial College.

Assistant to the Imperial College, such official positions are actually not considered officials. If they are placed in the capital, such people are really not noticeable.

However, the other person mentioned in the letter surprised Wei Guangde, the eunuch Li Bin, the eunuch who was mentioned in the letter.

Although Wei Guangde did not have much contact with the inner court, he had heard of the name Li Bin from Chen Ju. In the Silijian, Li Bin was the one who ranked behind Gao Zhong.

According to Xu Bangrui's letter, Li Bin was extremely greedy, so his father gave him a lot of gold and silver to be his insider. First, he learned about the situation of Emperor Jiajing in the palace through Li Bin's line. The news was naturally sent to Wang Jihuai's office and then arranged someone to report to Nanjing.

Secondly, it is naturally when a minister in the court "fraudulently accused" of the Duke of Wei's mansion and helped delay the change.

This is what Xu Bangrui has determined so far. His father’s main relationship in the capital. As for other nobles, it goes without saying that. After all, they all have more or less connections after the founding of the country, so there is no need to repeat them specifically.

Xu Bangrui knew that these two people were granted the imperial edict this time. Although his father Xu Pengju did secretly, he could not bear the obsession of those who were interested.

"This eunuch is amazing."

Wei Guangde silently said in his heart, hiding the letter, the things on it are considered secrets from the Duke of Wei's Mansion, and they cannot be disclosed for half of it.

Wei Guangde put these people aside first, but he would not meet them for a while.

Wei Guangde, the eunuch in Silijian and the assistant teacher in the Imperial College, walked to the sky and met on the road. He probably knew him but he didn't know him.

But at this time, Lu Bing sat behind the desk and closed his eyes and pondered.

The words from Huang Jin in the palace made him a little confused, who thought he was familiar with the nature of Emperor Jiajing. He didn't understand whether the emperor checked whether Wei Guangde's marriage was because he valued Wei Guangde or was reminding him to pay attention to surveillance of the Duke of Wei's Mansion, or simply to closely monitor the entire noble group.

Lu Bing naturally knew very clearly what happened just now. The emperor was very dissatisfied with the current manifestations of people in the court being vague and negligent. This was a beating again.

In fact, Emperor Jiajing's attitude towards Wei Guangde has always confused him, and it is not the emperor's previous style at all.

Thinking of the fact that he had received a letter from a good friend last year asking him to take care of this junior, Wei Guangde still needed his care, so he climbed onto the boat of Emperor Jiajing.

The whereabouts of Wei Guangde after he came to Beijing were actually recorded. He even thought he was secretly going to meet people from Prince Yu's mansion such as Gao Gong. The Jinyiwei also found out that the news of the ticket was sent to the Jinyiwei, but he did not report it.

Is a Shuji a certain official?

After that, I met Chen Ju privately and passed on some notes, although I don’t know what was written on the notes, I can roughly guess what happened before and after.

Lu Bing could only be surprised that the Wei Institute could produce such a strange thing. Generally, the Jinshi from the Wei Institute was relatively straightforward, and it was rare to see those who could bend and stretch like Wei Guangde.

Scholars who pass the Jinshi exam often have the so-called character and integrity. Keeping a word is to cultivate integrity and disdain to get along with the eunuchs in the inner court.

Those who can get along with eunuchs and eunuchs are often old officials who have experienced the officialdom. They know that if an official wants to be smooth, they must rely on the power of the inner court, so they naturally have to take the initiative to contact eunuchs.

Unexpectedly, Wei Guangde understood these things as soon as he entered the officialdom. He was really not an ordinary person.

Before, Lu Bing only saw Wei Guangde from afar, but he really didn't know him, let alone speak.

But now, Lu Bing wants to get to know Wei Guangde and talk to him so as to make a more accurate judgment on him.

At this moment, a captain came in, holding a stack of files in his hand.

"Sir, all Wei Guangde's files are here."

The captain carefully placed the files on the desk and handed over the fissures.

"You go down first."

Lu Bing nodded slightly and replied, then picked up the stack of brochures on the table and looked it out.

Wei Guangde paid the price on this day and often drank and had fun after paying the price with his colleagues. Now Wei Guangde is a little annoyed with this kind of social engagement.

At today's event, Wei Guangde directly refused to want to go home to read books and rest early, so after paying off, he left the gate of the Hanlin Academy.

I just thought it beautifully, and I didn't walk far away. After leaving the official bureau street and entering Nanxunfang Alley, Li San suddenly called Wei Guangde in a low voice.

"Master, we have forgotten everything, let's go back."

When Wei Guangde heard the words, he was stunned. He didn't know what he had forgotten, but Li San's words were indeed clearly transmitted into his ears.

As soon as Li San reminded him, Wei Guangde noticed that there were several civilians serving people in front of the alley. This was an abnormal situation.

Most of the people living nearby are officials. The clothes of their families are generally very particular. They don’t wear civilian clothes. They are usually the clothes of servants at home, which is very uniform. Just like the clothes of Li San and Zhao Hu and others are the same, that is, Zhang Ji is a little special.

But the clothes worn by the few people in front of the alley were different, but they didn't look like servants from nearby families.

If you talk about the master of whom, they are obviously different in appearance and temperament, and they are more like guards.

"Oops."

Wei Guangde thought of it in an instant, first of all, was whether it would have been sent by King Hui to take revenge on him. After all, he took Geng An in and was the first person to write a memorial to impeach him.

Thinking of this, Wei Guangde stopped and turned to Li San and said, "It's good that you remind me, otherwise it will be true."

While speaking, Wei Guangde did not look at Li San, but looked behind him. But when he was talking, he knew it was a little late. A carriage appeared behind him and slowly drove towards them. There were a few people around the carriage who were also served by civilians.

There are wolves in front and tigers in the back, which is blocked.

There were only Li San and Zhao Hu around Wei Guangde. Today, Zhang Ji was sent out to see ginseng again.

There are many ginseng in ordinary years, and decades, but Wei Guangde doesn't want these ginseng. Even those ginseng that are a hundred years old are not very interested. They need at least nearly two hundred years. The older the years, the better.

I heard yesterday that a pharmacy received a 300-year-old ginseng from Liaodong, so Zhang Ji went to see the things at noon.

The current situation is that there are people in front and behind, with about ten, but there are a lot more than the three of them.

In the capital, the guards around Wei Guangde only carry their waist knives, but they are not carried with them. Especially the bird guns, they cannot see the light. Even if the few around him have the identity of Jiujiang Guards, it is not possible, and they will not be said to be the identity of military officers.

Although everyone did this, when it comes to official positions, they are "private military officers", which is also a serious crime.

The reason for this is also related to Wei Guangde's preference for muskets.

He can pull the bow and arrow now, but he has no accurate knowledge and has practiced less.

His preference for bird guns also affected his father, elder brother, and uncle Wu Zhankui. He fought against Japanese pirates several times, and the power of the bird guns was obvious to all.

Although archers were still included in their team according to regulations, the role of these archers has changed from the previous strategic strike force to a sniper-like task, and it is no longer a shooting before the two armies attacked each other's formation and severely damaged the morale of the other.

Before, Wei Guangde would definitely choose one direction to break through, first kill the bird gun, and then rush over, but now he is bare-handed and only has two waist knives under his command.

Although the other party could not see any weapons in his hand, Wei Guangde believed that he would definitely come prepared and would not be unprepared.

Fortunately, there are high walls on both sides of the alley here, and there are no houses and tile houses at first glance, so there are no need to worry about ambushing crossbowmen on both sides of the road.

Wei Guangde was too lazy to pretend to be nonsense, and after saying a little, he simply stopped talking. He just looked at the people who were constantly approaching on both sides. He thought that he had rushed back to the house or run back. After passing two alleys, he could reach the official office street, where there were patrol soldiers and Jinyiwei and other people from the yamen, and it would be safe to get there.

However, I was cursing myself for not being careful, and I had provoked royal relatives like the prince. I dared to walk home with such a swagger, even if I was in a carriage, I could just rush over directly.

However, the people on both sides did not continue to get close to them, and stopped at about ten steps away.

The curtain was lifted on the carriage, and a man dressed in the Jinyiwei School Captain got off the carriage. Shi Shiran walked to Wei Guangde and clasped his fists and said, "I dare to ask, but it disturbed Lord Wei."

"Embroidered Uniform Guard? I haven't had a knot with you, right? I wonder what this means today?"

Wei Guangde felt so frustrated when he saw that he was from the Jinyiwei.

Who doesn’t know that the leader of the Jinyiwei is Lu Bing, who is a hard-core person from Emperor Jiajing.

What does it mean to use the Jinyiwei to intercept yourself?

Emperor Jiajing wants to attack him?

I never thought of rebelling, I am different from other time travelers.

Wei Guangde felt a little unfair at this moment. In the past, when reading novels, most of the time travelers who went back to the past had to do something, but that was the time travel time or the time travel was approaching, so they had the opportunity to win the chaotic world and achieve a king's hegemony.
