Chapter 248 Chapter 247 I Went Out without Checking the Almanac

Xu Huai was obviously Xu Bangrui's confidant. He knew such confidential information and was sent to inform Wei Guangde.

"The eldest son is still unable to register at the Ministry of Etiquette to enter the Imperial Academy?"

Wei Guangde frowned slightly and asked after listening to Xu Huai's story.

"Yes, the eldest son asked me to come to Beijing this time just to hear if Mr. Wei can do anything about it?"

Xu Huai stared at Wei Guangde at this time and said word for word: "The eldest son said that he and he are not outsiders, so he told the story exactly."

"Does the eldest son want to come to Beijing to study at the Imperial Academy?"

Wei Guangde smiled slightly when he heard this, and then asked.

What Wei Guangde was thinking at the moment was that since Nanjing was already being run like an iron barrel, why not jump out and go directly to the Imperial College in Beijing.

If Xu Bangrui really has the idea of ​​​​fighting for the Duke of Wei, when he comes to the capital, he should understand the principle of those who are closer to the water and the better.

For a superior title like Wei Guogong, the person who ascends the title must be approved by the emperor, and the decree must come from Beijing.

But after he said the words, he saw Xu Huai shaking his head, "I'm afraid the eldest son can't leave Nanjing City."

Wei Guangde understood that Xu Huai's analysis was reasonable. Wei Guogong Xu Pengju would not agree to Xu Bangrui leaving Nanjing and out of his control, let alone going to Beijing.

Just now, Wei Guangde just said it casually without thinking more about it.

However, if someone makes trouble in Beijing, Xu Pengju will definitely make some guesses, and the target of the attack will be directly aimed at himself.

Damn it, you haven't even gotten married yet, so you dare to help your son deceive me. Of course it won't work.

Considering long-term interests, Wei Guangde naturally hopes that Xu Bangrui will have the last laugh. As for the father-in-law, he can put it aside for the time being.

"What's going on in the Duke's Mansion now? Also, has the Second Young Master gone to the Imperial College to study?"

Wei Guangde remembered what Xu Huai had said before. The first time he asked the two brothers to go to the Nanjing Ministry of War to learn the tactics of leading troops. As a result, the second son Xu Bangning was unwilling to go and wanted to continue to be his dandy. Is it so easy to change his mind and go to the Imperial College to study? Already?

Wei Guangde was deeply disbelieving, so he asked the Duke of Wei what was going on at his house, and also to see if the second young master went to study.

"After the second young master registered at the Ministry of Rites, he went to the Imperial College to report for a day and then never went there again. After that, he was still the same as before, swaggering around Nanjing, having fun fighting cocks and horses."

Xu Huai did not just talk about the current situation in the Duke of Wei's mansion, but first talked about the current situation of the second son Xu Bangning.

"As for the Duke's Mansion, not much has changed now. Although the Zheng family was very prosperous for a few days after receiving the imperial edict, and kept inviting Nanjing nobles and officials' wives, but inside the Mansion, it is still the same as before.

In any case, the eldest young master is still old after all, and it is not something she can handle casually.

The same is true for the lady. We basically have no contact between the house and there, so it won't affect us. "

Xu Huai replied knowingly.

"You stay in the mansion first and let me think about this matter."

Only then did Wei Guangde say to him.

He shouted to Zhang Ji who was outside and took Xu Huai down to rest.

In fact, this matter can be easily handled, but Wei Guangde does not have the resources in this area now.

The whole thing was organized by Wei Guogong Xu Peng a little too carefully, or there were indeed too many problems.

The impact of defrauding the imperial court will be huge.

As for the subsequent operations, they are actually redundant, but if you do them, you will get yourself into trouble.

In fact, the breaking point of the whole incident lies in who will fire the first shot. As long as someone fires the first shot and brings the matter to the table, the rest of the matter will be easier to handle. There are a lot of idle people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Just waiting for the memorial to be impeached.

Naturally, Wei Guangde couldn't do this. He had to find someone in Nanjing to make the matter public. This was also the inevitable result of his lack of connections when he first entered the officialdom, and he couldn't find anyone who could make the first move.

There was no candidate, so Wei Guangde had to wait slowly. Fortunately, the Duke of Wei's mansion was the same as before, and the two houses did not interact with each other.

Wei Guangde planned to think about it for two days before writing a letter to Xu Bangrui for Xu Huai to take back.

In fact, the relationship between the two families is basically settled, and it is better to contact the elder brother first.

However, on the second day of duty, Wei Guangde entered the Hanlin Academy and returned to his public room to read. Not long after, he heard bursts of noise outside.

"Ruble, go and see what's going on?"

Wei Guangde put down the books in his hands and shouted to the scribe outside.

The Hanlin Academy is always very quiet, but it will not make such a big noise for no reason.

Wei Guangde picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. He ran in from outside without putting down the ruble in the tea cup and said, "Master Wei, just now Yin Zhangyuan asked everyone in the courtyard to go to the library to check ancient books to find records about Ganoderma lucidum."

Wei Guangde frowned when he heard this, put down the tea cup in his hand and said, "Why did you find out so quickly?"

"I met the person who came to deliver the message just as I was leaving the hospital."

Ruble explained quickly.

"Who wants to check the records of Ganoderma lucidum?"

Wei Guangde asked casually.

"The word came from Wu Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. It seems that the emperor asked Wu Shangshu about Ganoderma lucidum."

Lu Bu was also surprised when he heard the news, and asked one more question out of curiosity. Unexpectedly, Wei Guangde also asked about this like him.

Hearing Lu Bu say that it was probably the emperor asking questions, it was no wonder why there was such a big movement.

Wu Shan was afraid that not only the Ministry of Rites would be mobilized, but also the Hanlin Academy would have to help, after all, there were a lot of books here.

"Sir, let's go to the library to clean up."

Lu Bu saw Wei Guangde sitting there without any intention to move, and hurriedly reminded him.

"Well, what you said makes sense."

Wei Guangde nodded and smiled.

Wei Guangde was not curious about the fact that Emperor Jiajing suddenly asked about Ganoderma lucidum. Even in his previous life, it was an era of rapid technological development, but many people were still deceived by the mysterious color of Ganoderma lucidum.

Yes, in the future, when the composition of Ganoderma lucidum has been thoroughly analyzed, there are still many people who regard it as a magical herb, and its status surpasses ginseng. Naturally, there are also various health products sold under the banner of Ganoderma lucidum.

As for the Ming Dynasty

Thinking too much, Wei Guangde knew that he couldn't delay it for too long. After all, this matter might involve the emperor, so it's better to be more active.

After staying in the library for a whole morning, he found a lot of books, but he still had to screen them and then collect them and send them over.

During this period, Wei Guangde also found out that it was the emperor who was asking about Lingzhi. Apparently, he had received a prescription and was going to use Lingzhi as medicine.

This was the bad thing about Emperor Jiajing. He became obsessed with Taoism and addicted to medicine.

In fact, Emperor Jiajing's practice of Taoism was not a one-day or two-day thing. It is said that when he was a child, he was in poor health and relied on a Taoist priest in a Taoist temple near Anlu to regulate his body.

His father was also very enthusiastic about Taoism, and naturally led the young Zhu Houcong.

In the first few years of his reign, he spent most of his time on government affairs, but as time went by, his heart for practicing Taoism, which had been temporarily suppressed, became active again.

After he took the throne, he became obsessed with Taoist practice.

As for Linzhi, according to the "Shennong's Herbal Classic", Lingzhi is ranked as "top grade", "strengthening the body, long-term consumption, light body and immortality".

Wei Guangde knew that Linzhi's ability to strengthen the body and consolidate the foundation was recognized by traditional Chinese medicine, but no one believed that long-term consumption would make one light and not old.

It was impossible.

In the afternoon, Wei Guangde went to help sort out the books he had found, and was very busy.

He finally made it to the end of his duty, but he was definitely not done, so he could only wait until tomorrow to continue.

Wei Guangde left the Hanlin Academy. Because his current house was too close to the government office, he no longer let Li San drive to pick him up. Instead, after the end of his duty, if there was no drinking party with his colleagues, he would walk back.

Of course, Zhang Ji, Li San and other guards must have followed him.

After leaving the Hanlin Academy and turning a corner, Wei Guangde heard the sound of someone crying loudly in front of him, cursing something.

Wei Guangde didn't care. There were people like this in that era. When they encountered difficulties in work and life, they would cry and make a fuss, and vent it out.

Only people who have no desires and demands can think open-mindedly and not like this.

He just cried and made a scene here, but no guards or patrol soldiers drove him away. The houses nearby were all government offices of the imperial court, which had a bad impact.

Now it was time to get off duty, and soon many people would definitely notice the movement here.

However, for Wei Guangde, these had little to do with him, so he continued to move forward. After turning the corner, he saw the so-called "high-rise compound" in front of him, and the officials on duty in the imperial court lived around him.

Turning to the corner, he saw a man whose age was unclear crying on the side of the road. Two guards were pulling him out, obviously trying to pull him out of the territory of Nanxunfang.

There were too many dignitaries here, and it would be bad to bump into them.

"Master, let me go, woo woo woo. I want to seek justice. You can't do this. Damn God, open your eyes, these dog officials."

Wei Guangde glanced there unconsciously. Who the hell was he scolding?

Now, except for his official uniform, there seems to be no other official here.

As for the two guards, they also noticed the situation here. The East Factory is very close to the imperial power, but that depends on which emperor they follow.

The current Emperor Jiajing does not like eunuchs very much. The factory guards, the factory guards, are now the era of the Jinyiwei suppressing the East Factory. Even those who were selected from the Jinyiwei to the East Factory are actually the losers in the internal struggle of the Jinyiwei, so naturally they don’t have the airs of the East Factory.

Seeing Wei Guangde’s official uniform, the two guards hurriedly smiled at Wei Guangde, and the strength of their hands increased a little bit. The action also began to be rough, kicking and dragging people out.

"Human life is at stake, do you still have a conscience. Woo woo woo. My daughter died so tragically"

Wei Guangde was not very interested in such a person, but when he heard him say that his daughter died so tragically, daughter?

Wei Guangde understood that it must be a dandy in the capital who caused the trouble, but it was strange. Why did you come here instead of going to Shuntian Prefecture to complain?

But thinking about it, I felt relieved. If Shuntian Prefecture dared to intervene, it would probably not happen.

The Ming Dynasty established the Dengwen Drum during the reign of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, and a special person was appointed to manage it. Once there was an appeal from an innocent person, the emperor personally accepted it. If an official blocked it, he would be severely sentenced.

At the beginning, it was well implemented and had a great supervisory effect on officials. However, during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, an official once petitioned to cancel the Dengwen Drum. Emperor Xuande refused because it was set up by his ancestors, but the Dengwen Drum later became a formality.

Now, the Dengwen Drum is still outside the imperial city, but can ordinary people get close to it?

Shaking his head slightly, Wei Guangde could only pity this woman in his heart.

His path forward had to pass by the three people being pulled, but Wei Guangde chose not to cause trouble in the future and chose to walk on the other side of the street, staying away from them.

As he got closer, Wei Guangde noticed that the clothes on this man seemed to be somewhat sophisticated. They were not like ordinary people, but they were slovenly and messy. He had obviously suffered a lot, and his face was stained and looked haggard.

It does look pitiful.

This is not the commercial district of the capital, and there are not many people coming and going. Fan Zi must have dragged this person here from the official area. If he walked on the street, he would definitely attract countless people to watch, which would cause trouble.

Obviously, these fans have quite a lot of experience in how to deal with these Ming Dynasty petitioners. There are only big households on this street, and people come and go by horse and sedan. There are really not many people like Wei Guangde walking on the road.

Perhaps it was because he saw that Wei Guangde was dressed in official clothes and had several followers behind him. Although he did not have a bicycle frame, he was still an official.

When Wei Guangde passed by across the street, the dragged man calculated that this was the moment when the two were closest to each other. He kicked one fan down hard, pushed the other fan away, and turned around. Rush towards Wei Guangde.

This scene happened very quickly. Li San and other guards had just watched the two fans controlling the man as a joke and didn't care. This sudden change caught them off guard.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the man rushing towards him. Wei Guangde quickly jumped to the side and dodged. However, the man rushed forward in a hurry and threw the garlic under his feet where he had just been standing.

Is this the Ming Dynasty version of Pengci?

I had watched a lot of short videos like this in my previous life. Wei Guangde's first reaction was not to see if someone was hurt, but to think of a fight.

At this time, the two gangsters had already pounced on the man, punching and kicking him.

"Ah. I will fight with you."

The man yelled and cursed, and his body kept turning and trying to get up, but he couldn't get up after being pressed down, so he could only be beaten unilaterally.

"Young officer, you must die a happy death."

Perhaps seeing that Wei Guangde had no intention of intervening, the man finally looked sideways at Wei Guangde, his eyes widened angrily, and he began to curse.

Wei Guangde didn't move his feet after jumping to the side, and just watched this scene quietly.

Judging from just now, it seems that this person wants to come to the government office to complain, and Shuntian Prefecture most likely does not dare to take care of it.

Can you manage it yourself?

No, I'm just from the Hanlin Academy, who cares?

Although Wei Guangde felt sorry for this man, he was unable to do justice for heaven.

Clear flow and turbid flow, that's not all.

Wei Guangde never regarded himself as a clear stream, nor did he want to become a turbid stream.

"If you have any grievances, go to Shuntian Mansion or the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Other yamen will not care about you."

Wei Guangde said leisurely.

"You are all dog officials and you don't dare to make decisions for the people. You will be punished."

Wei Guangde's words made the man just curse.

Wei Guangde sighed inwardly when he went out without reading the almanac.
