Chapter 403 Chapter 402 Entering Prince Yu's Mansion?

Emperor Jiajing was obviously very sensitive to the fact that someone in Fujian raised the flag to rebel. Two days after the details of Fujian were published, the cabinet's proposal was approved by the Supervisor of Ceremonies.

Time limit to suppress thieves.

Along with the order to suppress the thieves, severe reprimands were issued to the officials in Fujian official circles, but the officials were not replaced immediately, and Liu Tao was still the main one, supervising the Fujian officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress Zhang Lian and his gang.

After the decree was issued, the discussion on Fujian officials gradually became quieter.

Those who speak are all Beijing officials, so naturally they can understand the direction of the court. When a major rebellion case broke out, the relevant officials were not replaced immediately, which shows a lot of things. Either the cabinet and the emperor haven't decided on a replacement candidate, so they can only be dealt with for the time being.

In the past few days, it may be that the rectification of the academic style of the Imperial Academy has achieved initial results. Zhang Juzheng has returned to the Imperial Academy more often. He often discusses poetry and government affairs with his colleagues in the academy. The corpse was a vegetarian meal, and the Imperial College was not doing its business, and ran to the Hanlin courtyard to hide quietly.

"Yesterday, I heard from the teacher that today he will write a memorial to His Majesty Chen about the affairs of Prince Jing's Mansion."

Sitting in Wei Guangde's duty room, Zhang Juzheng said to Wei Guangde.

In the past few days, Wei Guangde and Zhang Juzheng's contact began to increase, and today he went to Wei Guangde's value house with nothing to do.

"Have you set the rules?"

Wei Guangde asked curiously.

Xu Jie's way to deal with difficult problems is to simply eliminate violence, and the progress is naturally fast, but after all, it involves a prince's mansion, and there are many things to do. King Jing's mansion is also constantly discovering problems and asking for improvement. Listen to the meaning of Zhang Juzheng's words , this time the dust settles.

"It is estimated that there will be troubles in King Jing's mansion, but it will not affect the overall situation. If they keep finding various reasons, I don't know when it will be delayed."

Zhang Juzheng replied, took a sip of the tea on the case table, and continued: "According to the teacher's intention, we will summarize and report the current situation, and your Majesty's imperial pen will directly let the Ministry of Industry move, and we will bring it up later in King Jing's Mansion." For all kinds of requirements, just make a separate statement, anyway, there can be no further delay."

"As it should be."

Wei Guangde naturally agreed with this, "Even if they have new requirements, it will not hinder King Jing's matter of becoming a vassal. At worst, King Jing will continue to make changes until he is satisfied. gone."

"Yeah, my teacher thinks so too."

Zhang Juzheng laughed.

When the two were talking, Lu Bu outside the door suddenly looked around in front of the door surreptitiously, as if he wanted to find Wei Guangde for something, but if there was something wrong, he came in and reported it.

Zhang Juzheng smiled and pointed to the door, "I'm afraid that scribe of yours is looking for you for something, so I'll leave first and go to visit other places."

After speaking, Zhang Juzheng got up and bowed his hands to Wei Guangde, Wei Guangde also hurriedly got up to return the salute, and then sent Zhang Juzheng out.

After Zhang Juzheng left, Wei Guangde went back to the room and sat down, then looked at Lu Bu and said, "What's the matter, you still act like a thief."

After all, he was in the Imperial Academy, and there was nothing serious about it recently. Wei Guangde didn't think anything shameful would happen, so he was a little dissatisfied with Lu Bu's actions just now.

I don't know, I thought he, Wei Guangde, let his subordinates do some shady things.

"Master, the person over there Chen Shi said just now sent a message that Chen Shi said he is going back to his hometown Ding You."

Lu Bu said in a low voice: "He asked you to sit with him when you have time, and discuss the affairs of the palace."

"what?"

Wei Guangde stood up immediately when he heard about this. Now there are only two lecturers arranged by Emperor Jiajing in Yuwang Mansion, that is, Chen Yiqin and Yin Shizhen. If Chen Yiqin wants to go home to Ding You, then only Yin Shizhen will be left.

Before, some people in the court actually proposed to increase the number of lecturers in the palace, but in the end it was nothing, it is said that it was because of Gao Gong's secret actions.

There were only Chen Yiqin and Yin Shizhen in the palace, so it didn't matter to Wei Guangde, he was familiar with both of them, but Gao Gong might not be able to control the current situation.

Chen Yiqin and Ding You, the vacant position of lecturer in Yuwangfu, under normal circumstances, must be filled at once, at least two people will be stuffed into Yuwangfu.

Wei Guangde understood a little bit, after all, he and Chen Yiqin had already formed a small circle with common interests, and when he came to him, he definitely wanted to ask if he wanted to formally set foot in Prince Yu's Mansion.

Anyway, it's better to occupy a place in the palace first than to be taken by others first.

Sitting down slowly, Wei Guangde thought, it seems that he really should fight for this position.

Although he took refuge in King Yu a long time ago, he still belongs to an outsider after all. He hasn't been in King Yu's mansion once, and it is plated with gold.

The most important thing is that if there is a vacancy in Prince Yu's mansion, all parties in the court will definitely want to get involved. Not only Gao Gong wants to install someone he can trust, but Xu Jie will definitely do something, and even Yan Ge will find a way to mix sand. go in.

Immediately, Wei Guangde thought of Zhang Juzheng who had just left.

Arranging lecturers for Prince Yu's Mansion must be selected from the Hanlin Academy.

"You did very well."

Wei Guangde praised Lu Bu.

"It's all taught by the master."

Lu Bu became more obedient now, and replied respectfully with lowered eyebrows.

With the efficiency of the Ming Dynasty Hall, it is not uncommon for arranging lectures for Yu Wangfu to be delayed for a year or so in the past, but it is different now.

Wei Guangde knew that this news couldn't be hidden, and he was afraid that he would be settled within two or three days after it got out, otherwise things would change later, and he didn't know how complicated it would become. Well, after all, King Yu is not what it used to be.

Standing up again, Wei Guangde straightened his clothes and said to Lu Bu: "I'll go first, if anyone asks, they will say that I went to Zhan Shifu."

The advantage of holding several positions is that it is very easy for Wei Guangde to leave the Imperial Academy now, and he can fool him by simply pulling out the signs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate or Zhan Shifu.

Wei Guangde hurried out of the Imperial Academy, called Zhang Ji to buy things, and then went to Chen Yiqin's house to express his condolences.

"I've already submitted Ding You's memorandum, and I'm going back to my hometown after it's approved. I've invited a few of you here today to talk about what to do when the position of lecturer becomes vacant, and who will be arranged to enter the palace."

At this time, in a small room in Chen Yiqin's house, Li Fang, the eunuch next to King Yu, Yin Shizhen, an official of the palace, and Gao Gong, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, all arrived, and Wei Guangde was naturally there.

Just received the news, the outside is still being arranged, and Chen Yiqin invited people here.

What Wei Guangde thought of in the Imperial Academy, Chen Yiqin naturally thought of it too, and besides notifying the old people of Prince Yu's Mansion, he also called Wei Guangde, the purpose is self-evident.

"This time, at least two people will be added to the palace."

Gao Gong said: "Earlier, Mr. Xu Ge told me that he wanted Uncle Zhang to enter the Yu Palace, but I didn't agree, and of course I didn't refuse.

Now that something like this is happening, I think Shan Loan and Shu Da should be allowed to enter Prince Yu's Mansion together. "

No matter what Gao Gong thinks in his heart, he can only express his position like this at this moment.

"It must be no problem to call Shandai into the palace. Is this Juzheng suitable?"

At this time, Li Fang asked: "Your Highness doesn't like noise, this man."

"No problem, Zhang Juzheng is cautious and courteous, and he is prudent in doing things. If he is a person who escapes, when Elder Xu Ge said it, I would immediately reject it."

Gao Gong, however, didn't wait for Li Fang to finish speaking, so he stopped talking directly.

Wei Guangde just looked up at Gao Gong and Li Fang, then lowered his head.

"I will go to Wu Shangshu to explain this matter in a while, and I will go to Xu Ge's old mansion to make an appointment in the evening. I will take this opportunity to promote Shan Loan and Shu Da to another half level, serve as attendant students or lecturers in the Imperial Academy, and directly move to bachelors. It's still a little difficult."

Gao Gong then spoke out the plan in his heart, seemingly seeking other people's opinions, but in fact he had completely decided on who to find and what to do, and it was just to inform them in advance.

After Gao Gong finished speaking, Li Fang just nodded, "I'll talk to His Highness when I go back."

"I think His Highness will not object."

Gao Gong said bluntly.

"Zhengfu, when the time comes, you will be the leader in the palace, and you have to worry about Shuda and Shandai entering the palace."

At this time Gao Gong turned his head and said to Yin Shizhen.

Wei Guangde left Chen Yiqin's house, not only looking back at the small courtyard.

Chen Yiqin's house in the capital was rented, and the yard was not big. At this time, the mourning hall had already been built, and people with good news began to come to offer their condolences.

Now Chen Yiqin's position in Prince Yu's Mansion has become the head of officials in the Palace of Yu after Gao Gong left, and there are quite a few people who are trying to curry favor with him, and they all hope to have some relationship with Prince Yu's Mansion.

After getting into the carriage, Wei Guangde leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes to meditate. Today's experience is still somewhat miraculous.

Before that, Wei Guangde was still thinking about what he would do if he really went to Fujian, but he didn't expect that he would enter Prince Yu's mansion soon.

According to Gao Gong's plan, there should be no problem here in the court, mainly depends on Emperor Jiajing's final decision.

If I really entered Yu Wang's mansion, I should have nothing to do in Fujian. After all, I just took up my new post, and it is reasonable to arrange to do other things in the short term.

By this time, Wei Guangde was a little belatedly aware of the origin of Zhang Juzheng's recent series of actions. If Gao Gong hadn't said it, he would have been kept in the dark.

Gao Gong once said a word before, that is, it is very difficult for him and Zhang Juzheng to be directly awarded the Bachelor of Attendance in the Imperial Academy or the Bachelor of Attendance, but they can only be awarded as attendees and attendants. What does this mean? Zhang Juzheng went to the bachelor level.

Thinking of this, Wei Guangde suddenly realized that Zhang Juzheng's frequent visits to the Imperial Academy should also show his existence in the Imperial Academy, get in touch with other people more, and show his talent.

It seems that even if he is transferred to Prince Yu's Mansion, he still has to go back to the Imperial Academy to walk around when he has nothing to do in the future, and he can't cram his feet like Zhang Juzheng.

Xu Jie wanted to arrange for Zhang Juzheng to enter Yuwang's mansion, obviously because he wanted Zhang Juzheng to have some contact with Yuwang when he was lurking, which also showed that Xu Jie had already regarded Zhang Juzheng as his successor to train, otherwise there would be no need to do it for him. So many things.

In the early morning of the second day, the news about Chen Yiqin and Ding You began to spread in the official circles in the capital. After all, there were still a small number of people who knew the news last night.

Although with the improvement of the status of Prince Yu's Mansion, the officials of the Prince's Mansion have begun to be valued by the outside world, but after all, they have not been watched like Yan Song, Xu Jie and other high-ranking people.

After entering the value room, not long after, colleagues from the Imperial Academy came to Wei Guangde's place and asked him if he wanted to go to Chen Yiqin's house to express condolences.

Although Chen Yiqin is an official of the royal family and a lecturer of His Royal Highness King Yu, but his official position is that of Zhan Shifu's Department of Economics and Economics Bureau and Hanlin Minister, and a group of officials of the Hanlin Academy are regarded as colleagues.

According to the traditional Confucian concept of filial piety, if a court official's parents die during his tenure, no matter what official position he holds, he must resign and return to his ancestral home from the day he learns of the funeral, and guard his parents for 27 months. This is Ding You.

Speaking of which, Chen Yiqin has been away from the officialdom for more than two years this time, and he will not be able to return to the officialdom until the 42nd year of Jiajing.

But now that King Yu's status has been determined, Chen Yiqin should feel at ease when he returns to his hometown.

After he is dismissed from service, his official position will definitely have another big promotion.

In the afternoon, news finally came that Emperor Jiajing had approved Chen Yiqin's memorial to Ding You.

After all, he was not an indispensable figure in the imperial court, and Emperor Jiajing would not take advantage of him and let him stay in office, and what came along with the news was what Gao Gong planned yesterday.

Chen Yiqin and Ding You's memorial was sent to Xiyuan yesterday afternoon, and this morning Wu Shan requested to supplement the Yuwangfu's lecturer's memorial and sent it to the cabinet, which was drafted by the second assistant Xu Jiepiao and sent to Xiyuan.

At the end of the memorial, Wu Shan also mentioned the people he recommended, which were naturally Zhang Juzheng and Wei Guangde. Gao Gong contacted the Minister of Rites Wu Shan immediately yesterday. This move seems to be the right move, and he also convinced Wu Shan.

Hearing the news, Wei Guangde felt relieved, as long as he was on the recommendation list, the rest is up to Emperor Jiajing to decide.

Today, Zhang Juzheng didn't go back to the Hanlin Academy, so he should be supervising the students studying in the Imperial College at this moment.

After finding a comfortable position and lying on the chair, Wei Guangde noticed that Lu Bu was still standing in front of him.

"Anything else?"

Wei Guangde asked curiously.

"Master, if you go to Prince Yu's Mansion to serve as a lecturer in the mansion, won't you come back here often?"

Lu Bu asked cautiously at this time.

"Ha, are you worried about your errands or something?"

Wei Guangde couldn't help feeling a little funny, and asked casually.

"If the master really went to Prince Yu's Mansion, then the young one must not be able to stay here any longer."

According to the system, after Wei Guangde assumed an official position in the palace, he was considered to have been transferred out of the Imperial Academy, even if he retained his official position in the Imperial Academy.

At that time, the valet room will naturally be closed. If it is not a newcomer, if the valet room is not enough, it will not be assigned to others, but the scribes assigned here like Lu Bu will naturally have to adjust.

Strictly speaking, Lu Bu is not a member of the Imperial Academy. He is issued by the Ministry of War.

If there is no other manpower needed, then Lu Bu can only go back to the Ministry of War to wait for a new job. As a result, he may or may not receive a job.

"Don't worry, I can't arrange it for you yet."

Wei Guangde said lightly: "Wait for the decree to come down. If you really go there, if you have no good place to go, you can go to my house to do business first. It will definitely not let you have no way out."

As for the reed cloth, Wei Guangde felt that it was quite convenient to use, so he didn't intend to throw it away.
