Chapter 569 568 Knocking

"Didn't Master Xu say whoever wants to enter the cabinet?"

Wei Guangde asked when he asked, "Wang Yu, who was sitting on it," at this time, King Yu was also staring at Zhang Juzheng, hoping to get accurate information from him.

Zhang Juzheng shook his head, "The teacher doesn't know, and Your Majesty has not made it clear. But if Master Yuan leaves the capital tomorrow, His Highness should go and see him off."

When Wei Guangde heard this, he couldn't help but think of something, and hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether he should say it.

Wei Guangde's entangled performance attracted Yin Shidan's attention and immediately asked, "Shandai, do you have anything to say?"

After Yin Shidan spoke, King Yu and Zhang Juzheng also looked over.

"Your Highness, I heard something two days ago and didn't know whether to say it for a moment."

Wei Guangde was entangled.

"But it's okay."

King Yu was very straightforward and said.

"Two days ago, Yuan Ge's nephew Yuan Dalun came to our mansion to ask for a 200-year-old wild ginseng plant."

Wei Guangde spoke.

"What does this mean?"

King Yu asked with a confused look on his face. There were Yin Shidan and Li Fang like him, only Zhang Juzheng had realized everything.

"Shandai means that Master Yuan is afraid he won't have much time."

After a moment, Zhang Juzheng finally spoke.

"ah?"

King Yu was surprised.

"Yuan Dalun is asking for purchase of 200-year-old wild ginseng, which should be used to pay for the life of Yuan Ge Lao. Yuan Ge Lao asked His Majesty to allow Yuan Dalun to take a leave of absence and accompany the medicine. I am afraid that something unexpected happened on the way and there would be no relatives around me."

Zhang Juzheng continued to explain, then shook his head.

In fact, for all Beijing officials, the most worrying thing is that this situation occurs.

If you become an official for thousands of miles, you will not be able to fall leaves and return to your hometown in the end.

Imagine that most officials in this era left their hometowns around the age of 20 to participate in the imperial examination, and then stayed in the capital or went to other places to become officials.

Civil officials are all miserable officials. Unlike military generals, they cannot return to their hometown without any trouble.

This also led to many officials not being able to return to their hometowns almost entire careers. Yuan Wei's experiences were actually emerging one after another in this era.

The higher the position and the more important the weight, the harder it is to get a holiday.

Just talking about Yuan Wei, in fact, he had already resigned three times before and was rejected by Emperor Jiajing. But this time he was so happy, he obviously knew Yuan Wei's accurate condition and could not be delayed.

"Then go to see Mr. Yuan off tomorrow."

King Yu nodded slowly.

Although Yuan Wei's way of taking office was criticized and he was more charming after taking office, he still had principles on major issues.

This time Yuan Wei requested to return to his hometown to recuperate. But judging from Wei Guangde's words and Yuan's performance in recent days, it seems that Yuan Wei's health is really not good enough and he can't come back.

The Grand Secretary of the Cabinet lived with the emperor day and night, handled various affairs, and liberated the emperor from the heavy government affairs. Even if there was no credit, there was still hard work.

When Emperor Jiajing dealt with Yan Song for such a great crime, he still did not choose to implicate Yan Song when dealing with the Yan family, but only killed Yan Shifan. Even his grandson was only exiled to serve as a military force.

Sometimes, the Grand Secretary is really a gold medal for avoiding death.

Wei Guangde inadvertently glanced at Zhang Juzheng, wondering whether he knew the privacy between Xu Jie and Yuan Wei.

In fact, Zhang Juzheng, like Yuan Wei, both came from Xu Jie's disciples, but Yuan Wei was too proud and was a little proud after becoming famous. Especially when he was introduced to Xiyuan and offered Qing Ci, it was actually recommended by Xu Jie.

But Yuan Wei was quick-witted and often wrote Qing lyrics in one go, even vaguely surpassing Yan Song, Xu Jie and others, which attracted the attention of Emperor Jiajing.

Later, he even had a gap in the Hanlin Academy because Yuan Wei and Xu Jie compiled "The Great Ambition of Chengtian".

When he and Xu Jie were the president of "The Great Arrangement of Chengtian", Yuan Wei changed all the manuscripts submitted by the bachelors, and they did not give them to Xu Jie to read. The bachelors were indignant, and Xu Jie just said that he would change them.

From Xu Jie's disciple, he treated Xu Jie with a arrogant attitude.

Wei Guangde just watched these things calmly when he was in the Hanlin Academy.

To be honest, Wei Guangde really admires Xu Jie's cultivation skills and health-preserving skills, which are so capable of enduring his colleagues to death.

"Shandai, do you still have hundreds of years of ginseng in your place?"

When leaving Prince Yu's Mansion, Zhang Juzheng suddenly asked in a low voice.

"You want that thing?"

Wei Guangde asked curiously. He saw that Zhang Juzheng had a good complexion, so logically, it was not enough to use ginseng to replenish qi and blood.

"I have an elderly father at home, so if I have it, please give up my love. Uncle will definitely be inspired to be in the five-point sense."

Zhang Juzheng replied.

Today's incident reminded Zhang Juzheng suddenly that Wei Guangde seemed to have a lot of ginseng of the ages in his hands, and it seems that this is not a secret in the capital.

Of course, he did not need ginseng to hang his life like Yuan Wei, but thought about his father who was getting older in his hometown, and his capital and Jingzhou were thousands of miles away. If ginseng really had the effect of hanging his life.

Wei Guangde nodded slightly, "I'll take a look when I go back, there should be some."

Wei Guangde never refused such a request.

Why do we need to push the world out?

However, in the end, Wei Guangde explained to Zhang Juzheng that taking ginseng is beneficial and can indeed prolong life, but it does not have the effect of resurrection in folk legends.

"Haha. I know these things. If this is true, it's better to ask Your Majesty for some Ganoderma lucidum."

Zhang Juzheng smiled.

"Ha ha."

Wei Guangde laughed loudly after hearing this.

Sometimes he also found it very interesting. Emperor Jiajing monopolized the Ganoderma lucidum of the Ming Dynasty, while he, Wei Guangde, controlled the ginseng.

The matter of the successor of the cabinet was temporarily put aside by them, after all, the emperor was not easy to guess.

The next day, Wei Guangde followed King Yu out of the city to see Yuan Wei off. Sure enough, he saw that Yuan Wei in the car sedan was already sallow and terminally ill.

Xiyuan, Yongshou Palace.

Emperor Jiajing has lived a comfortable life recently. Although it is not because of his improvement in his practice, it is sent by the Silijian in the past two months, so there are fewer memorials that need to be handled by him.

However, he knew very well that this was not because of the lack of work in this country, but that Xu Jie was the only one in the cabinet director. No matter how hard he was, he could not handle all the documents sent from all over the country.

No matter whether it is a big or a small matter, Xu Jie has to read the official documents in full before the vote. Even if most of them are flowers and flowers, there is a mystery hidden if you can't memorize them, and then you can know how to vote.

Although Xu Jie took over the power of the cabinet, he obviously felt that he could not be competent for such a role. Today he sent him to the palace to request additional cabinet ministers. Emperor Jiajing knew in his heart that if he did not deal with it, he would be a memorial to request retirement tomorrow.

These days, it has become a common practice for such memorials to appear in turn.

"Does Maozhong leave Beijing today?"

Emperor Jiajing asked.

"Yes, the emperor, I sent Zhang Hong to see it yesterday, and the rewards were also sent."

Huang Jin replied.

"Have you met Maozhong?"

Emperor Jiajing continued to ask, "What's the situation? I heard that his nephew went to Wei Guangde to ask for a 200-year-old wild ginseng."

"I saw it and was in a bad state. Yuan Dalun went to Wei Guangde to get a wild ginseng, but I'm afraid it was also for the purpose of extending my life."

Huang Jin replied, then paused for a moment before continuing: "Nei Yu took the royal palace officials out of the city today to see off Master Yuan Ge. Yesterday, the royal palace had sent someone to report to the inner court."

With a sigh, Emperor Jiajing put down Xu Jie's memorial and continued to ask: "Have Xu Jie been in the cabinet in recent days?"

"Yes, Emperor, during this period, Master Xu stayed in the cabinet to handle official duties all day, but even so, it squeezed a lot of them not to deal with them in time."

Huang Jin answered halfway.

"Apart from handling government affairs, nothing else?"

Emperor Jiajing asked again.

"this"

Huang Jin seemed to be hesitating and recalling, but did not give the answer immediately.

Emperor Jiajing smiled and said casually: "Look, you are old, you have to think about such a thing."

"Oh, by the way."

Hearing the emperor's teasing, Huang Jin just smiled foolishly and dealt with it, but the folds on his face also showed that he was really old.
