As he thought, taking on the work of copying the "Yongle Encyclopedia" would inevitably be a contribution. Wei Guangde couldn't understand why Xu Jie didn't take the initiative to take on this job. Do you want to give Emperor Jiajing a three-for-three request?

"The teacher recommended it."

Zhang Juzheng was obviously interested in keeping him in a silence, and he paused when he said the key point.

Wei Guangde was disdainful. He didn't believe that Xu Jie would recommend him to be responsible for this matter. If such a good thing happened, it would only be the one who recommended his student Zhang Juzheng.

Without seeing Wei Guangde's face change, Zhang Juzheng was a little bored and continued, "Gao Gong, I also recommended Zhengfu, you and me."

"Haha, then there's more Master Xu."

After hearing Zhang Juzheng's words, Wei Guangde bowed to him and said.

However, these officials from the Prince Yu Mansion really have more time, whether they copy books or manage books.

And, most importantly, this is the credit from the sky.

The next day, Xiyuan once again issued an order. Although it was not really an order to copy the book, it made King Yu extremely excited.

"Gao Gong was the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy was the head of the Academy, and Chen Sheng was the right minister of the Ministry of Rites."

Gao Gong was promoted to the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites. Well, in Wei Guangde's opinion, this is not the point, the point is that Gao Gong was appointed as the affairs of the Hanlin Academy.

Thinking of what Zhang Juzheng said yesterday, it was obvious that Emperor Jiajing might have really made up his mind to throw the errand of copying the "Yongle Encyclopedia" to the people of the Yu Mansion.

"I'm afraid this will is not simple today."

Wei Guangde spoke.

"Oh, what's not simple."

King Yu was happy at this moment, and became interested when he heard Wei Guangde say this and asked.

Wei Guangde did not directly answer King Yu, but looked at Zhang Juzheng.

He didn't know whether Zhang Juzheng had told King Yu about copying the "Yongle Encyclopedia".

However, it was obvious that Zhang Juzheng did not consider this at the beginning. It was only when Wei Guangde looked at him that he realized it.

"You mean"

Zhang Ju said hesitantly in Wei Guangde's sight.

Wei Guangde nodded, "That's right."

"You two, what's wrong with you, and honestly explain it."

King Yu saw Wei Guangde and Zhang Juzheng having a puzzle and immediately spoke.

Seeing that Zhang Juzheng had figured it out, Wei Guangde made a gesture to Zhang Juzheng.

Now King Yu is focusing on himself, so let's forget it. Although he originally proposed this matter to Chen Ju, after all, Xu Jie was the one who caused the matter.

"Ahem, your highness, that's actually the case."

When Zhang Juzheng saw Wei Guangde give him this opportunity, he bowed to Wei Guangde. He then told him what he said to Wei Guangde yesterday, so that everyone in the room could know the answer.

"Uncle Da means that the father asked Master Gao to be promoted to the left minister and also in charge of the Hanlin Academy. Maybe it was just to make preliminary preparations for copying the "Yongle Encyclopedia"?"

King Yu was a little stupid, but Zhang Juzheng even fed the food to his mouth, so of course he still knew how to eat it.

"It should be."

Wei Guangde interjected at this time, "Maybe, we will also participate in the people who are responsible for management and dispatching book copying work."

"Um?"

King Yu understood what was going on, but he was still a little confused in his eyes. He obviously hadn't figured out some of them yet. As for what it was, it was naturally why he listened to what they meant. He had to leave this matter to the lecturer of Prince Yu's mansion.

"Your Highness, there are tens of thousands of books on the Yongle Encyclopedia. When I saw the collection of books in the Wen Pavilion in the palace, it was really vast. I heard that the "Classic Encyclopedia" was all-encompassing, and it was a world-class book."

Wei Guangde looked at King Yu's eyes with a blurry look and didn't care. He simply said his guess so that King Yu would feel at ease.

"So many books can't be completed in one or two years. The workload is so high that it is difficult to achieve success in less than three to five years, or even more time."

Wei Guangde prompted.

"What you mean is that when you finally write a book, you are afraid you will be lonely."

At this time, King Yu didn't understand the meaning of Wei Guangde's words.

“That’s exactly that.”

Wei Guangde nodded.

What he didn't finish was actually that when Emperor Jiajing was alive, the copying of the "Yongle Encyclopedia" might not be completed.

Once the book is copied to the new dynasty, after the copying of the "Great Encyclopedia" is completed, the lecturers of the royal palace can just get the reward of the new emperor by copying the book.

By that time, King Yu was determined to promote them and became legitimate.

Only then did Zhang Juzheng fully understand the profound meaning of Wei Guangde's guess, and looked at Wei Guangde with a hint of heat in his eyes.
