Chapter 461 460 Copying Books

On the first day of the first lunar month of the 41st year of Jiajing, the grand ceremony meeting was held. Emperor Jiajing did not go to the imperial palace and ordered Duke Cheng Zhu Xizhong to worship the heaven in the Xuanji Bao Hall on his behalf. The civil and military officials and officials of the court were appreciating officials. The four barbarians and tribute envoys all went to the gate of the court to perform five bows and three bows, and they still expressed their congratulations.

After the ceremony, the officials naturally left the palace and left. Among the three Grand Secretary of the Cabinet located in the front of the hundreds of officials, Xu Jie only searched for a while, and his eyes fell on the part where the officials of the Hanlin Academy were. He soon saw the figures of Wei Guangde, Zhang Juzheng and others.

I was interested in going over and talking about something, but when I thought about today's occasion, I finally suppressed my thoughts.

There is no rush at this moment.

Wei Guangde also greeted his colleagues around him among the people leaving, turned around and walked towards the way he came.

But he was stopped before he went very far.

"Shandai, have a drink together."

The person who called him was Yang Bo, the Minister of War, who instantly made him the most eye-catching person here.

After all, in front of him was Yang Bo, the Minister of War.

"Shangshu Yang"

Wei Guangde said with some embarrassment that he had made an appointment with a group of friends and planned to go out for a good drink later.

"Haha, okay, it won't waste your time."

Yang Bo knew from his appearance that Wei Guangde should have had an appointment, so he whispered: "What you came to talk about before the New Year, the Ministry of War has made a decision. Dong Yikui will be transferred to Datong as the deputy general of the Assistant Guard."

When Wei Guangde heard Yang Bo say this, he was overjoyed.

Although he is the deputy general of the assistant guard, that is, he is the deputy general of the Datong general, after all, he is the deputy general of the deputy general of the branch guard, and his power is still a little worse. At least he is not the boss in the defense zone, but his official title is at least promoted.

"More than Shangshu Yang."

Wei Guangde hurriedly bowed his gratitude, and Dong Yikui was promoted to deputy general, and his own, or the power of Prince Yu's mansion in the military increased a lot.

"After opening the yamen, the memorial will be handed over."

Yang Bo said to Wei Guangde before leaving.

Wei Guangde stood there and watched the Minister of War Yang Bo leave, then raised his leg and walked out.

Many officials in the distance were still paying attention to the movement here. Although they didn't know what Yang Bo and Wei Guangde said, they obviously said something, otherwise a simple greeting would not have been delayed for such a long time.

“Good loan.”

This time, Wei Guangde was stopped by the shouts behind him without taking two steps.

When Wei Guangde turned around, Zhang Juzheng had already arrived.

"I didn't come over when you talked to Lord Yang just now."

Zhang Juzheng walked closer and whispered.

"Haha, that's what I said when I went to Yang's house to visit."

Wei Guangde didn't hide it and said to Zhang Juzheng in a low voice.

This is not a secret in Prince Yu's Mansion. In addition to Prince Yu's knowledge, Yin Shidan and Zhang Juzheng also knew it, and maybe Gao Gong even knew it. After all, Prince Yu would hardly conceal anything in Prince Gao Gong's mansion.

"Is it the general of Xuanfu?"

Zhang Juzheng said in surprise.

Of course he knew what Wei Guangde was saying, but after knowing that the Ministry of War had a detailed plan, he thought that Dong Yikui had inserted it halfway, and he was afraid that there would be no chance, so he could only wait for the next time. Unexpectedly, Yang Bohui came here specifically.

From this, we can also see that the faint influence of Prince Yu's mansion in the court has reached the point where officials at the first-level Shangshu level have to face it.

"Yes, the Ministry of War has made arrangements for him, and the Grand Alliance will coordinate with the deputy general."

Wei Guangde naturally would not hide it from him. After all, after opening the yamen, Zhang Juzheng would also know the memorial of the Ministry of War.

“So very good.”

Zhang Juzheng smiled and said, "Have you made an arrangement? Don't mind going there together?"

At this time, Zhang Juzheng said to Wei Guangde with deep meaning that this is a show of kindness. He wanted to have more communication with Wei Guangde and also wanted to have more contact with the people around him.

Of course Wei Guangde would not refuse. Behind Zhang Juzheng is Xu Jie. If there are friends who are recognized by Zhang Juzheng, there may be places where you need to rely on Mr. Xu when you are promoted in the future.

He crammed for the moment, although Mr. Xu might sell his face, this is not what Wei Guangde wanted.

The Ming Dynasty strictly prohibited cliques, and Wei Guangde's small group did not want to be marked as cliques.

The fourth day of the first lunar month is the auspicious day and time calculated by the Imperial Heaven, and the major yamen in the imperial court opened in this heaven.

However, although the yamen is opened, the official duties will not be carried out so early. No one has finished the New Year, so naturally they have endless social engagements.

However, on the fifth day of the lunar month, Wei Guangde heard a news that Emperor Jiajing of Xiyuan once again issued an order to the cabinet.

"The left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Yan Ne, was promoted to the Minister of Rites, and Li Chunfang, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, was promoted to the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Dong Fen was appointed as the right minister of the Ministry of Rites in charge of Zhan Shifu. Each of them was still in charge of the second-rank salary in Chun Fang."

From the Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites to the Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and then promoted to the Shangshu, this seems to have become a necessary way for ministers to enter the cabinet. Now Yan Ne, Li Chunfang has finally set foot on this smooth road.

"Who will the position of the Left Minister of Rites?"

This was the biggest question in the hearts of the people in the Prince Yu's Mansion at this time, and even made Prince Yu, who had long forgotten to get up early, hurried out of the inner courtyard and sit with Wei Guangde and the others.

"Dear gentlemen, please see if Master Gao is likely to be promoted to the Left Minister of Rites."

King Yu looked at everyone eagerly and asked.

This time, Wei Guangde didn't think much. Although he had never contacted Chen Ju, the situation is now clear. What Chen Ju said at the time that several officials Gao Zhong was optimistic about had already come to the forefront, so it was time for other officials to be promoted.

"Brother Suqing has a great chance of promotion this time."

In fact, even if Gao Gong is now promoted to the Left Minister of Rites, he is only half a level of official position and will not be promoted in grades. But after all, he is promoted from right to left and left as the leader, which is also a step further from the position of Shangshu.

"The Left Minister of the Ministry of Rites, the Left Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Suqing finally has hope."

Yin Shidan also agreed at this moment.

Zhang Juzheng and Tang Ruji both nodded with a smile. Although they didn't know their true thoughts at this time, it did not prevent them from making any statements at this time.

If you knew that Gao Gong was unhappy with promotion, you would be dismissed by King Yu in your heart as soon as possible.

"Mr. Li Chunfang, Lord Li, is afraid he's too eager to see this day, haha."

At this time, Zhang Juzheng teased.

When they were in the Hanlin Academy, they were very literary. Although they had their own grades, they tried their best to please the emperor in Qingci.

Seeing Yuan Wei enter the pavilion and Guo Pu becomes the Minister of the Shang Dynasty, Li Chunfang can not be anxious.

Now Yan Ne has become the Minister of State, and he has also transferred to the Ministry of Personnel, so his next official position is about to emerge.

“That’s good.”

King Yu was very happy at this time. When he ascended the throne in the future, he would trust Gao Gong and others and would like to use them.

Now that Emperor Jiajing is in power, they can be promoted to a higher position, so in the future, he will naturally be able to avoid many procedures.

King Yu was already used to handing over power to Gao Gong, Yin Shidan and others, so he was in the harem.

He is still very clear about his abilities and is not arrogant. Only by giving government affairs to those who are capable can he achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Looking at Wei Guangde's sight, King Yu was thinking at this time that he didn't know when his father would give Yin Shidan. Wei Guangde and others were also promoted. Although they were reluctant to leave Prince Yu's Mansion, they all had their own goals after all, and they were afraid that they would not want to stay in Prince Yu's Mansion.

Scholars, who do not take "cultivating oneself, governing the country and pacifying the world" as their mission, want to attack the cabinet throne and contribute to the prosperity and peace of the world.

Moreover, these people are capable, and staying by their side for a long time with them to chat and relieve boredom is indeed aggrieved them.

After chatting in the room for a while, King Yu yawned and left here.

The Lantern Festival has not yet passed, so the officials of the royal palace should have a lot of social engagements to go, so of course, King Yu would not leave anyone behind.

When he left, Yin Shidan, Wei Guangde and others quickly smiled and bowed to each other, leaving Prince Yu's mansion one after another.

"By the way, Shandai."

When he left Prince Yu's Mansion with Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng suddenly called Wei Guangde and said, "I heard a message from the teacher yesterday. I don't know if you are interested."

"What's the matter?"

What would be the news that came from Xu Jie?

Wei Guangde didn't know, but he thought of it in his heart.

"A few years ago, His Majesty summoned the teacher alone and asked some questions."

Zhang Juzheng didn't say anything directly, and some of the silly words said irrelevant.

Wei Guangde stood there without moving, just waiting quietly for Zhang Juzheng to continue.

"Haha, OK, you're still so calm."

Zhang Juzheng continued with a smile: "Your Majesty plans to arrange for the Hanlin Academy and other yamen to copy the "Yongle Encyclopedia". You should know that any participation in the copying work is a contribution."

"Ge Lao Xu is responsible for this?"

Wei Guangde asked curiously.

"The teacher supports Your Majesty's decision, but he did not volunteer."

Zhang Juzheng smiled and stared at Wei Guangde, as if he wanted to see Wei Guangde's surprised expression.
