Chapter 442 441 Blocking the Way

In ancient society where the idea of ​​resonance of heaven and man was widely recognized, many things that symbolize beautiful meanings, such as Jiahe, Ruimai, Heqing, Phoenix, Qilin, etc., were considered to be a sign of virtue and a holy world.

Therefore, auspiciousness is given a powerful political function. Whether it is the succession of the new emperor, the change of dynasties, or the response to the crisis of ruling, auspiciousness may play its role as a mysterious force.

Xiangrui, also known as Jiarui, Furui, and Ruiying, is a unique product of ancient Chinese political culture.

Note that auspiciousness is actually a political product.

Wei Guangde whispered those words, but in fact he was just talking casually. After all, he felt a little uncomfortable at this time.

A few days ago, I saw through the "just food" that Yuan Wei and the Imperial Heavenly Prison jointly created, but I didn't expect that Yan Song would also play this trick the next day.

However, I recall reading some records from ancient books before, and it seems that this is how Jia (He) and Rui (Mai) came from.

Regarding the appearance of one stem, two ears, three ears, four ears, etc., Wei Guangde speculated that it should be the genetic mutation mentioned in later generations. If there are experts in agriculture, after research, mutual is a direction for agricultural production increase.

However, for the many genetic mutant plants that appear in Oden, Wei Guangde probably sent people to find the numbers to gather in the fields. Ninety-nine eighty-one, and Six and One, which is probably too rare and difficult to get together.

From this point of view, the probability of double ears appearing in ancient times was quite high, and 81 could be found.

"Get good at lending, be careful of your words."

Zhang Juzheng just glanced at Wei Guangde and shouted to the outside: "I understand."

After saying that, he immediately whispered to him: "The Holy Day of Life is coming soon. A few years ago, Hu Zongxian gave white deer and that white turtle. How much auspiciousness was there in the year.

It was a little less in the first two years, but after the solar eclipse at the beginning of the year, I guess those people were planning to use this trick to please His Majesty.

Look, there will be auspiciousness during the period before the Holy Birthday.”

Wei Guangde thought about it and the same thing happened. At that time, Hu Zongxian got a white deer from somewhere and sent it to the capital with great fanfare. The white deer was able to hold the position of governor firmly, and the white deer also made an indelible contribution.

As for the time when Emperor Jiajing asked Ganoderma lucidum to be used as medicine, all kinds of Ganoderma lucidum emerged, some of which looked quite strange.

What is the most favorable thing for the superiors is to the subordinates.

"Or what if you arrange someone to find some Xiangrui to send it?"

After Wei Guangde was silent for a while, he whispered to discuss with Zhang Juzheng.

"Of course it is feasible to keep the door closed, but if Your Highness asks Mr. Gao for his opinion, I guess he will definitely fall."

Zhang Juzheng whispered, "But if he really found it in the royal palace, he would probably stop it by using this matter to affect the reputation of King Yu and send it to him."

Wei Guangde glanced at Zhang Juzheng and thought it was right.

For the lecturers of the royal palace, they naturally cannot educate King Yu about such a ridiculous thing. However, if they really find auspiciousness, they will not be wasted. Naturally, it is best to give it to Emperor Jiajing to gain favor. King Yu would also think that this is Gao Gong treating him well and not destroying his reputation.

In the view of King Yu, Prince Yu's Mansion is actually highly bound to Gao Gong.

"Forget it, watch the show. For Your Highness, there is no shortage of this opportunity to flatter you."

On the Holy Day of Wanshou, I worshipped my ancestor Confucius and ordered the prince Shaobao, Minister of Rites and the Hanlin Academy Yuan Wei to celebrate the ceremony.

In addition, he ordered the British Duke Zhang Rong to sacrifice to Taishe Taiji, and the Duke of Cheng Guo Zhu Xizhong to sacrifice to the Emperor's Duke of She and Emperor Ji

A series of decrees were issued, and Emperor Jiajing assigned all the errands he had to do around his birthday.

"It's so hot this day. We have to go to Zuoque Gate to have an imperial banquet."

When Prince Yu's mansion received the imperial edict, Wei Guangde and Zhang Ju were muttering quietly.

"Your Highness is very happy."

Zhang Juzheng only replied to Wei Guangde.

Now, because the two of them have become friends who can talk about everything because they have enough money to live together and have been together for a long time, they have privately praised and criticized the current affairs and complained a lot.

This time, the imperial banquet was hosted by the envoys of the vassal kings and tribute envoys from all over the world, but Emperor Jiajing would not appear. However, unlike in the past, the person who presided over the banquet was no longer the Minister of Rites but the King Yu, who represented the emperor to entertain the envoys.

This is the first time that King Yu has participated in such political activities as a prince. In the past, only necessary rituals would be participated in as a prince, and King Yu and King Jing were together.

Now it’s different. After King Jing left Beijing, King Yu had already attended such an event on behalf of Emperor Jiajing, and the meaning was self-evident.

The two looked at the backs in the distance. It was King Yu who had received the order. He walked happily into the mansion, followed by Li Fang and Yin Shidan holding the imperial edict.

"Let's go, follow it."

Zhang Juzheng smiled at Wei Guangde.

"Brother, please, please."

Wei Guangde gave in with a smile.

"Go together, go together."

Zhang Juzheng smiled, but he still walked over first, and Wei Guangde took half a step behind him.

Although the two were at the same level, Zhang Juzheng was considered senior Wei Guangde in the imperial examination. However, after they walked a few steps, a young servant followed and reported in a low voice: "Two gentlemen, I just received the news that Your Majesty sent an order to the Cabinet and the Ministry of War."

"What's the matter?"

Wei Guangde and Zhang Juzheng both stopped, and Zhang Juzheng turned around and asked.

"Your Majesty is worried about border affairs. If there are any disturbances this fall, you must make decisions early to curb it."

The servant replied in a low voice.

"Is there anything else?"

Zhang Juzheng frowned and asked again.

After receiving the unanswered answer, the little servant left and the two continued to walk in.

"It's almost August, and when autumn is high and horses are fat, the border town is uneasy again."

Zhang Juzheng whispered.

Wei Guangde just nodded and didn't answer, and was also thinking about this matter in his heart.

"Ma Fang, a few days ago, fought a war in Xuanfu, and guessed that he was testing the truth and reality. His Majesty should have thought of this festival, so he issued this decree."

Zhang Juzheng continued.

"Some of the Ministry of War are busy. The rebels in Fujian and Guangxi have not yet been eliminated, and it is time for the Tartars to raise troops to disturb the border."

Wei Guangde also shook his head and said.

During the years he was an official in Beijing, Wei Guangde felt that the officials and men in the capital seemed to have been dealing with these things. The Tartars in the north, the Japanese pirates in the south, and the chieftains in the southwest rebelled from time to time. Now there are more rebels in Fujian, and it feels like wars happening all year round.

"But the Governor of Shangshu Yang has been Xuanda and Jizhen, so he should be at ease with military affairs. It depends on how much money His Majesty grants to the border town this time."

Wei Guangde continued, as the two of them drifted away as they spoke.

The Ministry of Rites prepared various sacrificial rituals in a hurry, and Wei Guangde found out after several days of inquiry that the Ministry of War had indeed not yet selected a candidate for the position of Wan'an garrison.

In the past, those generals who were accustomed to rush to climb up but had no real materials had no real skills to fight for this position at this time. The errand of Wan'an's garrison was not a joke, and they could go to the battlefield at any time.

It’s okay to win, but if you lose, you’re afraid it’s not as simple as losing your post or dismissal. It’s possible to deprive hereditary military positions or even be exiled.

By this time, Wei Guangde was not anxious, but just stayed in Prince Yu's mansion with his ears tilted.

Now the matter of Wan'an's garrison has been temporarily put aside by the Ministry of War, and the most urgent matter is the border matter that His Majesty asked about.

The Ministry of War in Beijing knows what's going on, but Nanjing doesn't know.

Speaking of the war in the south, they naturally got news faster than Beijing and had a deeper understanding of the situation.

On the day before the Wanshou Day, the Nanjing Officials and Officers, Zhou Jing, the Military Affairs Officer Yang Quan, the Censor Lin Run and others wrote a letter together, saying that the bandits in Minguang were first succeeded by Jianchang and Taihe, and killed the civil and military officials, and repeatedly defeated the official army. They then extended to Wan'an, Yongtai, Chongren, and Le'an. The ministers involved were at a loss and asked to serve as the Censor of the Nangan Metropolitan City to be selected, and appointed a nearby general and ordered the Nanjing Ministry of War to train soldiers to support them.

On the Holy Day of Wanshou, Wei Guangde and other colleagues put on court uniforms and kowtowed outside the Fengtianmen for five bows and three bows, and stared at Yang Bo, the Minister of War in front.

After all, he was on duty in Prince Yu's Mansion, and the Censorate rarely came here. He really couldn't find a suitable opportunity to talk to the admirals of the Ministry of War.

As for his official positions who remained in the Ministry of War in the same year, they were only the chief officials and were the lowest-level officials. They really didn't have much say in such matters.

Therefore, after Wei Guangde planned to talk about Yu Dayou with Yang Bo himself. He had had several dealings with Yang Bo before, and took the opportunity of recommendation to get closer to Yang Bo, which can be regarded as helping Prince Yu’s Mansion.

After the ceremony, all officials performed their duties. If they had any responsibilities, they would leave in a hurry, and if they had no trouble, they would return to their respective yamen to do their jobs.

Wei Guangde is an official of the royal palace and will not leave until the imperial banquet today. However, when he saw Yang Bo walking out with the Ministry of War, he deliberately blocked the road and pretended not to see him.

After Yang Bo approached, Wei Guangde hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings to the Grand Sima and the Lords."

"Haha, Shandai, you. Oh, by the way, you still have official duties today."

Seeing that most of them were walking out, and Wei Guangde just stood there and did not move, Yang Bo opened his mouth and thought of the people in Prince Yu's mansion and the errands of the imperial banquet.

Wei Guangde looked at Yang Bo and the person behind him, and smiled and said, "Shangshu Yang, I wonder if the border plan that Your Majesty asked is a conclusion?"

"After having an idea roughly, I need to discuss with the cabinet's adults before writing a letter."

Yang Bo smiled and looked at Wei Guangde and said, "Do Shandai have a clever plan?"

In fact, the Ministry of War has long decided on the Northern Barbarians, and it is nothing more than those tricks. Yang Bo is also curious if Wei Guangde has any other wonderful ideas.

"There is no good idea to be foolish."

Wei Guangde hurriedly said respectfully, and then said embarrassedly: "I don't know if there is someone to choose the position of Wan'an garrison. I'm not hiding it. Many fellow villagers in the capital heard that there were thieves entering Jiangxi and were very worried. They kept coming to my house to ask the court if they had any solutions."

"Nanjing is also urging us to ask about this matter, but border affairs are important. We have been planning measures in border towns these days, and we have not yet decided on the garrison for Wan'an."

Yang Bo shook his head and sighed, "Shandai is from Jiangxi, so he is naturally concerned about this matter. I understand that the Ministry of War will make a defensive general as soon as possible to ensure peace in Jiangxi.

By the way, Shandai, can anyone choose in your heart?”

At this time, Yang Bo had a premonition in his heart that Wei Guangde stood here to block the road, not because he wanted to ask for an official position for his family.

Not to mention, it seems that if Wu Zhankui, the commander of Jiujiang Guard, is willing to guard Wan'an now.

"Shangshu Yang, why not consider the Guizhou West Road senator Yu Dayou"
