prosperous age

Chapter 592 Chapter 591
After a banquet, Wei Guangde sent Chen Ju away, and then returned to the study, and took out the previous Nanjing letter.

Although his head was a little dizzy, Wei Guangde still wanted to unseal the letter and read the contents of the letter.

To be honest, after Li Sui impeached Yu Dayou, Wei Guangde felt that the official atmosphere in Nanjing was a bit weird, and he was afraid that the result would not be very good.

Sure enough, after he took out the letter paper and looked at it carefully, he couldn't help but sigh.

Xu Bangrui said in the letter that Cen Yongbin did not intend to stop and insisted on the impeachment of Zhang Ke. The censor Chen Zhixian and the censor Liu Yijie of Yunyang Capital were also targeted, and Chen Zhixian and Liu Yijie seemed to be on Xu Jie's side. people.

It seems that those people didn't intend to stand still, but to show their muscles to Prince Yu's mansion and Mr. Xu Ge, to let them know that no one would feel good if they died.

Wei Guangde probably guessed their purpose, it should be to use this method to find a way for them to escape.

After all, they are also afraid now.

In Hu Zongxian's hometown, disasters can come from heaven, even if he himself was a little uneasy, but Xu Jie's counterattack was very fierce, and he directly attacked him in the direction of killing him.

By this time, Wei Guangde already suspected that Xu Jie might have done a lot of tricks in the south of the Yangtze River behind the back of King Yu's mansion, so he pushed people into a hurry.

With this idea in mind, Wei Guangde didn't plan to reply to Nanjing immediately, but needed time to think about it.

Zhang Ke committed a crime, and there were nothing more than two endings, either he was recalled to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, or he was dismissed and stayed idle, waiting to be used.

Now it is not a matter of whether Prince Yu's Mansion wants to get involved, but the remnants of the Yan Party have pulled Prince Yu's Mansion into this dispute.

At the beginning of Zhang Ke's matter, I thought about it simply, but I didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns behind it.

At this time, Wei Guangde didn't dare to play tricks.

In the entire south of the Yangtze River, there seems to be a struggle that is not clear to Prince Yu's mansion around the Nanjing officialdom.

Thinking about it before, Xu Jie made continuous moves against the Jiangnan officialdom, wantonly adjusting the Jiangnan officials. At that time, Wei Guangde thought it was a move aimed at Yan Na, so there may be hidden secrets in it.

Even those people may have turned to Yan Song before, and then chose Yan Na.

To put it bluntly, the current chaos in the south of the Yangtze River is caused by Xu Jie's desire to grab the territory and arrange his party members.

Until now, Wei Guangde really realized what happened in Nanjing.

Xu Jie wanted to liquidate Yan Song's old people, and these people chose to take refuge in Yan Na for self-protection, but Yan Na failed in the struggle with Xu Jie.

These people were not willing to be slaughtered, and chose to fight back indiscriminately to show their strength.

So troublesome.

Wei Guangde couldn't help but feel that the officialdom is really complicated, and if he didn't pay attention, he would fall into it.

However, it seems that these people are not in the court after all, and their power is weak, and there is a high probability that they did this only for peace talks with Xu Jie after the demonstration.

Wei Guangde thought for a while, this time he really can't rush to participate in the fight, but should put pressure on Xu Jie through Yuwang Mansion to let him end the chaos as soon as possible.

Emperor Jiajing wanted the current situation to be stable, so why not King Yu.

When officials from the northern and southern capitals fought, it was the foundation of the country that was shaken.

Wei Guangde really didn't expect that the impeachment of Zhang Ke, the censor of the two Zhejiang patrols, might be a signal to him, hoping that Yu Wangfu can intervene in this matter and mediate in the middle.

Suddenly, the idea of ​​"mediation" appeared in Wei Guangde's mind, and he couldn't get rid of it.

Wei Guangde sat up straight suddenly, then stood up involuntarily, pacing back and forth in the study.

They know the needs of the emperor and King Yu, and they must be stable.

After Xu Jie secretly wanted them to take action and attacked them continuously, he transferred the hope of seeking peace from Xu Jie to Prince Yu's mansion.

"Damn."

Wei Guangde cursed in his heart, he took it for granted at the time, and didn't realize the danger.

Wei Guangde also realized that the water in the officialdom on the Jiangnan side seemed to be deeper than he imagined.

I'm afraid that Xungui who lives in the south of the Yangtze River has never noticed these inside stories.

Otherwise, Xu Bangrui's letter would definitely not be without hints.

To quell this turmoil, Xu Jie must be stopped and the two sides make peace.

Don't think that Xu Jie is the chief assistant of the cabinet, as if he can use his power to overwhelm the officials below.

However, this is not possible.

It is impossible for the emperor to let Xu Jie have too much power, which will affect the stability of the imperial power.

Therefore, in order to solve the turmoil of support, it is necessary for Yu Wangfu to put pressure on Xu Jie.

With this idea in mind, Wei Guangde couldn't help thinking about how to maximize the benefits for Prince Yu's Mansion.

Of course, Wei Guangde's interests must also be taken into consideration.

Li Sui, Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, must resign, otherwise the person who provoked him will stay in the officialdom, and every time he sees this name in the future, he will make him uncomfortable.

As for the others, the only ones he knows now are Chen Lianfang, the imperial censor of Guangdong, Chen Wanyan, the imperial censor of Fujian, and Cen Yongbin, the censor of Nanjing Huke.

Cen Yongbin impeached Zhang Ke, while Chen Lianfang and Chen Wanyan impeached Yu Dayou.

On the second day, after Wei Guangde left the house in the morning, he went straight to Prince Yu's mansion again. He needed to discuss with Li Fang first, at least for some of his guesses, he needed to ask Li Fang to arrange someone to inquire and confirm.

If I make a mistake this time, it will only make others laugh.

In a wing room, Wei Guangde narrated his conjecture to Li Fang in detail, and Li Fang frowned after hearing this.

Although he has the intelligence network and relationship network of Prince Yu's Mansion, he actually knows very little about the situation in the south of the Yangtze River.

The more energy of Prince Yu's Mansion is actually concentrated on the one-third of an acre of land in the capital.

However, Wei Guangde's analysis can explain a lot of previous doubts.

"I'll arrange someone to check it out, and then I'll secretly report to His Highness about it."

Li Fang didn't say much, at this time it seems that nothing is good to say, so it's better to investigate first before saying anything else.

"Then I'll leave first, the school record hall is still very busy."

Wei Guangde cupped his hands at Li Fanggong.

"Go slowly for a good loan, forgive me for not sending it far away."

Li Fang was also thinking about how to inquire about the news at the moment, it would definitely not work to ask Xu Jie directly, she had to find out from the people who were close to Xu Jie and those who wanted to take refuge in Prince Yu's Mansion.

When Wei Guangde arrived at the school record office, he was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground. Before he knew it, a day passed by.

However, when it came to Sanya, Wei Guangde did not receive anyone from Prince Yu's Mansion.

"Good loan, good loan, and so on."

Just as he was about to climb into his carriage, Wei Guangde heard someone calling him in the hall.

Stopping and looking back, it was Zhang Juzheng.

"Brother uncle."

When Zhang Juzheng approached, Wei Guangde bowed to him.

"Shan Loan knows what happened yesterday, right?"

Zhang Juzheng also returned the gift, and then asked.

"Yesterday? What happened?"

Wei Guangde asked doubtfully.

"Chen Lianfang, the censor of the Guangdong patrol, and Chen Wanyan, the censor of the Fujian patrol, impeached Yu Dayou, and the Nanjing Ministry of War also reviewed and supported that matter."

Zhang Juzheng said.

Among the Beijing officials, no one knew about the relationship between Yu Dayou and Prince Yu's Mansion, so Li Chunfang's proposal was for the Ministry of War to verify and decide.

"Understood, Dayou was defeated in Huihu this time and failed to wipe out all the bandits. He should indeed be punished by the court."

Wei Guangde replied, with a sad look on his face, as if he was in a bad mood.

"Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, how can one judge a hero by winning or losing a battle."

But Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said, "Today my teacher passed me a message, although General Yu failed to fight the battle well this time, the imperial court can still trust his ability.

When His Majesty's approval comes down, the teacher will help to clear it up, so it won't make people ugly. "

"That's Lao Ge's concern."

Wei Guangde hurriedly cupped his hands again and said, "Brother Uncle, please take me to say hello to Elder Xu Ge when you have the opportunity, and say that Shan Loan is very grateful to Elder Ge for his righteous words."

"It's easy to say, it's all my own family, so there's no need to divide each other."

Zhang Juzheng smiled and said, "When the treacherous party was in power, my teacher admired His Royal Highness Yu Wang's calm and fair handling, so he has been at odds with Yan Song and others.

Now that the treacherous party has been punished and the crisis of the country has been resolved, everyone should work together to share His Majesty's worries and create a prosperous Ming Dynasty. "

"What brother uncle said is very true."

Wei Guangde said with a smile, "I'll ask Mr. Xu Ge to worry about the matter of Dayou."

Leaving the school records hall, Wei Guangde sat in the carriage, recalling the conversation he had with Zhang Juzheng earlier, which strengthened his judgment last night.

In private, Xu Jie should have made a big move in Jiangnan, which caused dissatisfaction there and directly led to sharp conflicts.

In Xu Jie's eyes, those who are stubborn are directly transferred by Xu Jie's ideas, and then put one of his own people in the position.

That's why there was a backlash from the Yan faction, and they also wrote letters of impeachment one after another.

It's just that Xu Jie still had a sense of propriety when he forcibly took down important positions. He didn't just dismiss people directly, but just leveled them out or even raised them by half a level, leaving people speechless.

But with such a transfer, everyone knew that they were still at a disadvantage.

Therefore, the impeachment of the middle and lower officials of Xu Jie's party members served as a warning that Zhang Ke was just a fish in the pond.

"I won't go to Prince Yu's Mansion tomorrow, just write a note and send it to Li Fang."

Wei Guangde thought in his heart that he had to explain the conversation outside the school recording hall to Prince Yu's Mansion.

In Xiyuan, Emperor Jiajing has finished today's practice and is waiting for the supervisor to send the memorial to him for processing.

Although he already knew that daily practice didn't seem to be good for his body, but he still wanted to continue.This was his last insistence as an emperor.

"Did Chen Ju find out about it yesterday?"

Before Chen Hong arrived, Emperor Jiajing leaned on the throne and asked Huang Jin who was standing beside him.

"My lord, Xiao Juzi has already asked, and the Yu Palace knew that Yu Dayou was defeated and impeached, so there was no intention of protecting him.

It's not that they have any dissatisfaction with Yu Dayou, but they think that the general will go to battle, and if he wins the battle, the imperial court should reward him, and if he loses, he will naturally be punished.

Therefore, no matter how the imperial court dealt with Yu Dayou, it was to treat him well and give him a warning. "

Huang Jin bowed and told Emperor Jiajing what Chen Ju had said in the morning.

"Hum."

Emperor Jiajing just snorted a few times casually, and he could actually guess the reason for the decision made by Prince Yu's Mansion. The country is all his, and it will not be a matter of saying a word to promote Yu Dayou at that time.

But it's really good to be able to do this, at least it shows that Yu Wang has a general understanding and knows that the way to control people lies in the distinction between rewards and punishments, not cronyism.

"There's another reason, some."

Although Emperor Jiajing snorted softly, Huang Jin could see that the emperor was in a good mood, so he continued to talk, but halfway through the conversation, he became a little dumb, and didn't know how to continue.

"Say, don't hesitate."

Seeing Huang Jin's appearance, Emperor Jiajing said.

Therefore, Huang Jin talked about Yu Dayou's family situation again, knowing that he was married in his 40s, had been in the barracks for a long time, led the army to conquer the north and south and made great contributions, but because of this, he has no heirs so far.

"Is this true?"

Hearing Huang Jin's words, Emperor Jiajing still didn't believe it, but if he thought about it carefully, he would find that it seemed reasonable.

Emperor Jiajing had observed Yu Dayou before, so he naturally knew that he was an official elevator.

Every time there are rebellions and disturbances in various places in the south of the Yangtze River, most of the local officials will recommend Yu Dayou to fight against the chaos, but soon after the incident, Yu Dayou will be demoted for various reasons, which also leads to his career being full of ups and downs. Legendary.

Just imagine, with his official career, how could a good match like him.

Marrying with him, you have to worry about being implicated from time to time.

If things go on like this, it is normal for the marriage to be delayed for a long time.

"My lord, after hearing what Xiao Juzi said in the morning, I asked someone to check it, and it is true."

Huang Jin replied in a low voice.

As far as the court is concerned, except for the emperor, it seems that the general Yu Dayou is a little bit close to the ones who really promise the country with their bodies.

If you don't get married and start a family in the end, then you will truly dedicate yourself to the country.

"Bring me the memorial."

Emperor Jiajing said blankly.

Soon, Huang Jin took out the memorial from the brocade box and put it on the imperial book case.

"Officers and soldiers besieged the pirate Wu Ping in Nan'ao. General Jiguang Shengbing Dayou pinched the sailors and defeated them. Ping only escaped himself. He ran to Fenghuang Mountain in Raoping County. When the crowd gathered a little and recovered, Jiguang stayed behind to attack. The remaining thieves in Nan'ao, the generals Tang Ke and Li Chao under the command of Du Dayou, and Bai Hanji, the commander, Ying Jia and others led the troops to make peace, but they were at a disadvantage in the subsequent battles, so they went to Zhanglin and plundered the people's boats to go to sea."

Chen Wanyan, the imperial censor of Fujian Province, played the role of Yu Dayou and others. The generals sent by Yu Dayou were improper and the pursuit of the battle was ineffective.

Chen Lianfang, the imperial censor of Guangdong Province, impeached Yu Dayou in Guangxi for several months, and the four militias incited chaos one after another.

Li Sui, Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, checked the facts and seconded the proposal, requesting to deal with Yu Dayou.

Stretching out his hand, he proposed the imperial brush from the imperial book case, and Emperor Jiajing quickly wrote after the memorial.

The imperial pen personally approved that Yu Dayou, the general soldier in Guangdong, had his job heard and lived idle, and ordered Qi Jiguang, the general soldier in Fujian, to take charge of the second Huihu mansion and the general military affairs of the Shenwei camp.

After finishing writing, he put down the pen, and Emperor Jiajing said: "You can take it down and send it to the military department with a seal in a while, and send it as soon as possible."

"According to the order."

Huang Jin bowed and said.

At this moment, there was an announcement from an internal servant outside the door, and the eunuch Chen Hong, the supervisor of ceremonies, brought the memorial to the palace to ask for an audience.

"Clean up and let him in."

Emperor Jiajing waved and said.

So Huang Jin hurriedly put away the memorials on the table, and at the same time let the waiter outside the door tell Chen Hong to come in.
