Chapter 312 311 Song and Dance to Peace

Wei Guangde happily took the two revolving lanterns handed over by Gao Gong, held them in his hand and took them carefully, then handed them to Xu Jianglan, who had been attracted by him.

When Gao Gong came over just now, Xu Jianglan had noticed it. When Gao Gong approached and gave a blessing, he stared at the two lanterns.

In fact, there are also craftsmen in the Duke of Wei's Mansion who can make lanterns, but this skill is still very high-end today. Only the palace and noble families have the resources to support such craftsmen. There are no officials like Wei Guangde who are nouveau riche.

As for the people, there are not many craftsmen who can make revolving lanterns. Even if they appear, they will be collected by major families to serve their own families. They usually make lanterns in the mansion, and make lanterns that suit the festival during the festival to create a festive atmosphere.

Therefore, the lanterns bought by the Wei family are just ordinary lanterns, but there are no exquisite things like the revolving lanterns.

The lantern is painted with figures from the Three Kingdoms. Wei Guangde glanced at him and handed the lantern to Xu Jianglan, and then he bowed his hand to thank him like Gao Gong.

"Don't thank me, your highness ordered."

Speaking of this, Gao Gong bowed slightly at Wei Guangde and said, "This is actually a fault for me. I forgot this. In the future, I will collect the rewards from Prince Yu's mansion to Shandai on behalf of him, and then send them to your mansion and ask for a glass of wine."

"Haha, no matter what Lord Gao said, Guangde welcomes adults to visit at any time, and don't talk about any festivals."

Wei Guangde haha ​​at Gao Gong, and then looked at King Yu not far away. Prince Yu was also looking at him, and his eyes were facing each other, and of course he would not erase the sparks of love. Wei Guangde saluted the other party respectfully.

After all, this is a public place, so it is really not convenient for him to come over and have a chat with His Highness Yu.

Wei Guangde also wanted to hide the identity of King Yu in a low-key manner, but Gao Gong seemed to not want to give him this opportunity.

"Since I met by chance, Shandai and I went to see His Highness Yu."

Speaking of this, Gao Gong approached Wei Guangde and whispered: "Your Highness has been thinking about what you said that time for a long time."

Wei Guangde felt a sudden heart when he heard this. He did say something at the beginning, but that was just what he thought he should be prepared to do. It doesn’t mean the time has come.

Wei Guangde complained in his heart that he was showing off his power, and now he has trapped himself in.

In fact, when he was having dinner with Yin Shidan last time, Yin Shidan asked him about this. Prince Yu's mansion had already regarded Wei Guangde as a master of everything, thinking that he had his own channels to collect some confidential information.

Wei Guangde could only complain in his heart, but he couldn't say anything.

Gao Gong said so, and Wei Guangde knew that avoiding was not a solution, so he smiled and said, "It's good."

Since I met it, it was nothing to see a greeting in the past, but no one noticed that Wei Guangde's smile was so bitter.

"Your brother and sister, please come over and see the princess."

Gao Gong said this with good intentions. They all protected King Yu. If King Yu succeeded in taking office in the future, Princess Yu will naturally become the future empress. Before this, it will be beneficial but not harmful.

Moreover, Gao Gong also knew that Wei Guangde's wife was the daughter of the Duke of Wei in Jiangnan. In fact, it was also blood-related between the Duke of Wei and the royal family, but it was only a few generations away.

The current princess or after the election no longer marry the noble family. This is also a sign of the dynasty's stability and there is no need to stabilize the regime through marriage.

On the contrary, strong relatives of foreign countries will become factors that cause turmoil in the court.

Xu Jianglan is absolutely incapable of paying homage to Princess Yu.

Xu Jianglan naturally knew about the current situation of the two kings in the capital, and Wei Guangde was more optimistic about King Yu, and he knew about it.

In fact, since Prince Zhuang Jing died of sudden illness, King Yu should have been the only one who was born in the order of the law, but he has never been admitted by Emperor Jiajing.

It is precisely because Emperor Jiajing did not recognize that King Yu was the crown prince that King Jing's little thoughts aroused.

Gao Gong and Wei Guangde and his wife squeezed into the crowd of Prince Yu's mansion. After saluting Prince Yu, Xu Jianglan was taken back by eunuch Li Fang to meet Princess Yu and others, while Wei Guangde stood respectfully in front of Prince Yu.

"I have thanked you here several times before, thanking you all for the help of a loan, so that I can successfully overcome the difficulties. I have thanked you here."

King Yu said that he was going to salute like Wei Guangde. He just bowed from afar just now, and Wei Guangde could still pretend to be overwhelmed, but this time it was not possible.

He stood sideways to King Yu very decisively, "Your Highness, you can't afford to be a magistrate."

Although he could not say anything in front of King Yu, Wei Guangde had already regarded his relationship with King Yu as a relationship between the king and the ministers. However, when he was close to King Yu, Wei Guangde was a little nervous.

Although it was night, the large number of lanterns on Aoshan also made it brightly. Wei Guangde felt a little bad when he saw King Yu's face. How could he have a pale face and no bloody complexion? His Highness Yu's body looks bad.

Unconsciously, Wei Guangde compared the King Yu in front of him with King Jing whom he met by chance in Yan Mansion before, and felt that King Jing's body seemed to look stronger.

It wasn't Wei Guangde who was worried that several sons had died in front of Emperor Jiajing. Wei Guangde could not care. Don't die in front of Emperor Jiajing. Then he would have become useless after doing so much homework.

He was a person who was determined to be a high-ranking official. Although Wei Guangde occasionally had to think about putting an official in the cabinet, as he understood the officialdom, now he was just a dream. There were a lot of people in the Hanlin Academy, and in the end only a few people could enter the power center of the Ming Dynasty.

It's hard, it's really too difficult.

Seeing Wei Guangde's attitude was very gentle and respectful, King Yu no longer had much politeness with him. He just chatted casually, but after a few words, he could not avoid it.

I can only say that His Highness Yu was really forced to be cruel by his younger brother.

In terms of knowledge, when the two of them went out of the house to study, King Jing's achievements were already better than him and were often praised by professors.

In terms of eloquence, that is not something that the dull King Yu can compare with.

Almost all aspects, King Yu knew that he was completely defeated by his younger brother, which was to rely on his birth several months earlier than him.

Invisibly, this aggravated the inner inferiority of King Yu. If Gao Gong had not been encouraging and supporting him over the years, he would have asked his father to go out and become a vassal and not to wade into this muddy water.

"Your Highness, the time is not right."

Wei Guangde can only say this now, "I thought that because of Yang Shun's affairs, Yan Song would lose favor in front of His Majesty again, but you also saw that His Majesty did not be punished, and even Yang Shun was not dismissed from office and was only demoted."

"Oh, when the punishment was first released, I was also very disappointed."

When King Yu heard this, he knew what Wei Guangde meant. Yan Song Shengjuan still had no one to touch him, so naturally he could not ask King Feng Jing to take the vassal.

"Your Highness don't have to worry, it's just a matter of time."

Wei Guangde smiled and said, "This time, Ge Lao Yan took down several hundred households in the border town by taking over the military affairs, and he had to be punished. I heard that Governor Lu and Ge Lao Yan were both promoted in Yongshou Palace for this reason."

"Can we be with Governor Lu?"

"Your Highness is careful."

"Your Highness is careful."

As soon as King Yu started speaking, he was interrupted by Gao Gong and Wei Guangde. Wei Guangde still shook his head and signaled him not to continue talking.

Although there are people from Prince Yu's Mansion around, there are some things that cannot be said casually.

"Governor Lu is the emperor's slave." Wei Guangde just answered in a low voice and stopped talking.

King Yu knew that his talents were not good, so he usually didn't express much opinion. He just thought of it when Wei Guangde mentioned it, and felt that the enemy's enemy seemed to be friends.

But unexpectedly, Wei Guangde and Gao Gong both opposed it as soon as they said it. Naturally, he knew that he was thinking about it.

"It depends entirely on Master Gao."

King Yu pondered slightly and said, "I would like to remind me more in the future."

"King Yu, there are many people here, so I will stay there soon, so I will say goodbye first."

After saying a few more words, Wei Guangde wanted to leave King Yu early, so he bowed and said goodbye.

When I hadn't seen him before, I thought about King Pengyu's stinky feet every day, but when I met this in public, he was worried that he would be watched.

contradiction.

"Okay, Lord Wei walks slowly."

The background of King Yu is really embarrassing in the capital now. Many ministers who support him in their hearts also keep a distance when they meet him. He understands this and has many taboos.

It is rare for Wei Guangde to stand here for so long, and it is already rare to say so many things. After all, he does not have the job of the royal palace.

I don’t know what Xu Jianglan said later. Anyway, when Li Fang brought her over, Wei Guangde saw Xu Jianglan with a smile on her face through the veil.

Back in his own crowd, Wei Guangdecai asked in a low voice.

"I saw the young master, such a cute little man."

"What kind of young master?"

Wei Guangde wondered, where did the young master come from Prince Yu’s mansion?

"It's the eldest son of King Yu."

Xu Jianglan gave Wei Guangde a white look through the gauze. It was naturally the meaning of why you were so stupid, and you could never imagine.

"oh."

Wei Guangde nodded. Of course, he knew that King Yu had a son, which was why he was more optimistic about King Yu before.

His Highness Jing, who was married in the same year as King Yu, has not yet appeared. What can I compare with King Yu?

Wei Guangde didn't believe it. It was because Emperor Zhengde had no queen. Emperor Jiajing didn't think about his grandson when he was considering passing the throne.

Even if King Yu is not good at all, he has enough capital to choose a successor.

However, there seemed to be not many court officials who noticed this during this period.

"How is my health?"

Wei Guangde asked inadvertently.

"It's very nice, very lively, with big eyes looking around, so cute."

"As children, they are almost the same. We will give birth to one when we go back tonight. Ouch."

Wei Guangde made a random mistake, but Xu Jianglan pinched him on his waist.

In fact, Wei Guangde couldn't feel the pain at all through the thick cotton coat, and he didn't even pinch the meat. However, he had to do a good job when it was time to perform, so he still called the pain just right.
