Chapter 413 412 Opening the Seal

Of course, King Jing didn’t know how terrible the Fengyang high walls were, and he was not interested in knowing it. He just needed to know how terrifying it was there.

Zhu Wengui is naturally the one who is far away. He was the second son of Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen. He was two years old at the age of two. After the "Jingnan Campaign", his father Zhu Yunwen and brother Zhu Wenkui were not sure where to die, and his mother Empress Ma burned herself to death.

Emperor Yongle imprisoned Zhu Wengui in Fengyang's "high wall". Although there was no such thing as a high wall prison at this time, it had been managed according to the later high wall model, that is, it was completely closed and isolated from the world.

It was not until the reinstatement of Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen, who was restored from the Nangong, that the restoration of Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty, felt deeply sympathy for Zhu Wengui, who had been imprisoned for fifty years, based on his own experience of prisoners. In the same year, Zhu Wengui was released, and he was already fifty-seven years old. After his fifty-five years of career, he didn't even know the cattle and horses, and died soon after.

What is more recent is naturally King Hui, who was deposed as a commoner in the past few years, would rather choose to commit suicide than go to Fengyang High Wall.

Wei Guangde naturally didn't know about the conversation that happened in Prince Jing's mansion. At this moment, under the influence of Chen Ju, he returned to the private room and ate and drank for a while, and said he had something to do at home and left first.

What he was going to was naturally the Prince Yu's Mansion. They were reminded that at least before King Jing left Beijing and entered the vassal state, the dietary safety of Prince Yu must be strictly guaranteed.

In fact, since Wei Guangde revealed that Lu Bing's cause of death was different, under his reminder, the eunuch Li Fang, who was personally responsible for supervising King Yu's diet and daily life.

Wei Guangde naturally knew about these situations, but after all, after a while, he was still worried that Li Fang would be careless for a moment and make a big mistake.

When the carriage was about to arrive at Prince Yu's mansion, it crossed over with a carriage coming towards him. However, Wei Guangde could take care of these things at this time, and he didn't even know that there was a carriage passing by.

When he arrived at the side gate of Prince Yu's Mansion, Wei Guangde was an old acquaintance here, so he naturally entered it without any obstacles.

It was a first day of the New Year, and Wei Guangde felt something was wrong after entering Prince Yu's Mansion.

He called a familiar servant beside him and ordered him: "Go and invite Eunuch Li Fang and Eunuch Li to the study. I have something to do to find him."

"yes."

The people in Prince Yu's mansion were naturally familiar with Wei Guangde and other lecturers. After receiving Wei Guangde's order, they immediately agreed and quickly went to find Li Fang. Wei Guangde did not continue walking, but went around to the study where they usually teach.

Wei Guangde went to his duty room and did not ask the servant to send him tea. He just sat in the room and waited quietly for Li Fang to come over.

Today, it was not the time for them to come to greet King Yu in the new year, but they made an appointment tomorrow, but the incident happened suddenly, so he had to come here now.

"Mr. Wei, you are today"

After a while, Wei Guangde saw Li Fang putting her in the room with her hands in front of her.

Originally, there shouldn't be anyone here today, so there was no brazier in the house before. It was only after Wei Guangde came in that the servant hurriedly brought a brazier. At this time, Wei Guangde was reaching out to roast the fire.

When Li Fang entered the house, she felt that the room was still a little cold. She immediately stopped at the door, turned around and shouted to the outside, "Who outside, hurry up and bring in a few more braziers."

"Don't shout, Eunuch Li comes over and sits and roasts the fire. I just get some news, so I take the liberty to come and go back after saying that."

"Hmm? Oh."

Li Fang came to her senses and understood what Wei Guangde meant.

He is not a fool, and his future is entirely dependent on King Yu.

Although Wei Guangde mentioned this topic that made him feel very annoying, it seems to be good as it is now.

The dog is desperate and the rabbit is kicking the eagle. What he fears most is that King Jing fights his life after seeing that he has no hope of succession.

Wei Guangde told Li Fang that if King Yu really had a bad temper, Emperor Jiajing would probably not dare to have an attack, because he would only have this son left and would never be punished.

"Mr. Wei, you understand your hard work. Don't worry, I personally watched this matter during this period, and there is no chance of any difference."

Li Fang still stood up and bowed deeply to Wei Guangde.

"Okay, I'll leave first, and I'll come to wish His Highness a New Year tomorrow."

Wei Guangde smiled and then stood up to say goodbye to Li Fang.

Li Fang sent Wei Guangde out of Prince Yu's Mansion, and he hurried back to the inner courtyard of the palace when he got on the carriage.

In more than a month, King Jing was about to leave the capital, and the only prince in the capital was left with King Yu. Even if others had other thoughts, it would be beyond the reach.

King Yu is in a bad mood now. Although Wei Guangde came to remind him, did he also bring good news?

Then tell King Yu about this and make him happy too.

King Yu is actually still worried about gains and losses. Although his status seems to have been established, Emperor Jiajing did not grant him the crown prince after all.

At this time, King Jing, after Zheng Huiren left, sat alone in the wing room for a while, and then he called a trusted servant coming in.

"Forget it today, let's go to Yan Mansion to inform Yan Donglou Tower. I will say that I am in good health and will not go there to play these days."

"yes."

The servant hurriedly bowed and agreed, and while King Jing waved his hand, he slowly retreated out of the wing room.

"The Yan family is over, don't have too much contact with them."

At this moment, King Jing's mind was still circling with the advice of Zheng Huiren when he left.

Just as Zheng Huiren reminded him, King Jing suddenly realized that Yan Shifan was close to him and gave advice to him. It was not that he was intimidated by his own domineering aura and surrendered to him. He really knew that he was going to die, but that he was just trying to survive in his death.

With his reputation as Yan Shifan in the capital, he will definitely be liquidated in the future. Even Zheng Huiren said bluntly that if King Yu had liquidated him, he would have taken action himself. Yan Shifan could not keep it.

What he did was destined to be unable to cut off the relationship by resigning like other ministers.

I just blame myself for being blinded by the throne before. Maybe it wasn’t because I didn’t understand it, but I just didn’t think deeply about it and didn’t even gain a status. How could I give up a help?

When did I start to have the idea of ​​competing for the throne?

King Jing was not only in memory, but when he left the palace, he treated the same treatment as King Yu. At that time, someone outside speculated so much, but he just laughed it off. It seemed that after he met Yan Shifan, he began to have some ideas.

King Jing has given up completely now. He doesn't want to continue to compete for that position. If he continues to order that person to find an opportunity to poison King Yu, perhaps the Jinyiwei will take him to Fengyang with a sticker.

Thinking of this, King Jing suddenly stood up, called the close servant beside him, and whispered a few instructions, asking him to pass the news as soon as possible, and then sat down again.

The fourth day of the lunar month was approaching. Early in the morning, Wei Guangde was dressed neatly and rushed to the Hanlin Academy. Because according to the calculations of the Imperial Heavenly Prison, the second hour of Mao on the fourth day of the lunar month is auspicious time, so all the yamen in the Ming Dynasty would hold a "seal opening" ceremony at this time.

According to the time of later generations, it was less than seven o'clock and it was less than working hours, but in the Ming Dynasty, officials had already started work.

Wei Guangde had nothing to say, so he went to the Hanlin Academy to attend the ceremony in a regular manner. After that, he naturally sat for a while and went to Prince Yu's Mansion with Zhang Juzheng.

It was similar to the sealing ceremony. Under the leadership of Yuan Wei, officials of the Hanlin Academy invited the seal again, and firecrackers were fired in the yard.

The seal of the yamen does not mean that the officials have finished their New Year. In fact, it is just a ceremony. Don’t forget that the capital will organize the Aoshan Lantern Festival on the fifteenth. Only after the Lantern Festival is over, in the eyes of officials and the people, this year will be considered to be really over.

"What did you say to Mr. Wu just now?"

After leaving the Hanlin Academy, Wei Guangde invited Zhang Juzheng and him to go to Prince Yu's Mansion in a carriage. On the carriage, Zhang Juzheng asked, "Look at how surprised you were at that time."

Wei Guangde smiled and said, "When I entered the Hanlin Academy, I was worshipped under Mr. Wu."

"oh."

Zhang Juzheng responded lightly.

"I heard that the Hanlin Academy may have to be replaced by Li Chunfang and Scholar Li in the next year, and Yuan Wei will be responsible for the department's discussion."

Wei Guangde continued.

"Yuan Wei wants to completely devote himself to the government and share his worries for the country, haha."

Zhang Juzheng smiled.

In fact, Yuan Wei's job changes were much more sensitive than Wei Guangde's news. After all, his news came from his teacher Xu Jie. The reason why he asked Wei Guangde was actually just curious about his relationship with Wu Qing.

Although Wu Qing is also a bachelor's degree, he is destined to have no future. It is very strange to have a good relationship with such a person.

"You should know in advance."

At this time, Wei Guangde spoke again.

"I've heard of it before."

Zhang Juzheng nodded. He was more informed in the court than Wei Guangde, but he also knew about the news in Prince Yu's Mansion during this period. Wei Guangde was someone in the palace and was very informed about the news in the palace.

When he was in the second year of junior high school, he didn't know what happened in Xiyuan yesterday, but Wei Guangde knew it yesterday, and he even knew it just one hour after the incident.

It cannot be underestimated.

Speaking of this, Zhang Juzheng remembered something again. He only heard about it when he visited Xu Jie's mansion two days ago. Anyway, he was still idle, so he told Wei Guangde and passed the time.

"I also heard that after the New Year, His Majesty will summon the Nanjing Hanlin Academy to take charge of the Imperial College, and the Imperial College Priest Qu Jingchun will return to Beijing. It is still unclear how to arrange it."

"Um?"

Wei Guangde was surprised at first, and then joked: "Brother Uncle doesn't want to go to Nanjing to serve as the Hanlin Academy."

"I really want to go to the yard if I can serve as the chief yard, haha."

Zhang Juzheng said happily.

In fact, if he really has the chance, he doesn't mind going around Nanjing.

I am young, but I am not going to be a retirement student, but I am just a transition. If I really want to go, I will definitely be promoted to a Hanlin bachelor’s degree. Anyway, there is a teacher in the capital, and if there are good official positions here, I will definitely be able to move back.

"How old is Lord Qu?"

At this time, such an experienced Hanlin bachelor was transferred from Nanjing, and Wei Guangde could not be ignored.

"At fifty years old, the second place in Jiajing's 23rd year."

"oh."

Wei Guangde agreed, no wonder Zhang Juzheng knew that Qu Jingchun was one class earlier than Zhang Juzheng. When he participated in the examination, he would definitely pay attention to his previous subject.
