Chapter 619 Chapter 618 Addicted to Beauty
Wei Guangde happily went to the cabinet to see the first assistant Xu Jie, and was introduced by Zhongshu to be on duty not long after.

Wei Guangde was taken aback as soon as he entered the door, why are there so many people in Xu Jie's room?
Yes, there were not only Xu Jie in the room, but also the second assistant Li Chunfang, other assistant ministers Guo Pu, Chen Yiqin and Zhang Juzheng.

After looking around, Wei Guangde was really stunned.

There are so many people, only one person is missing, Gao Gong.

"Hehe, Shandai, what can you do when you come to the cabinet?"

Seeing Wei Guangde's appearance, Xu Jie just smiled, and then asked.

Wei Guangde came back to his senses, first saluted everyone in the room, then took out the prepared memorial from his sleeve, handed it to Xu Jie, and said: "To live up to the high expectations of your Majesty and all the elders, copy the "Yongle Dadian" The dungeon has been completed, and I am here to return."

"Finished? That's good, even if you catch up."

Xu Jie nodded and said.

"Put the books in boxes as soon as possible and hand them over to the internal prison."

Li Chunfang also stroked his beard and said.

Regarding the matter of the former emperor, there were too many things to deal with, and they only had one thing to complete. The re-recording of the grand ceremony, which was the least confident at the beginning, was completed. Thinking about other things, it seems that there are not many.

"When I came over, I asked my attendants, Lu Min and Wang Xilie, to personally inspect and sort all the manuscripts into boxes."

Everyone in the room knew the purpose of transcribing the Grand Ceremony, so naturally they knew that when they were done, one copy would be sent to Huang Shicheng for collection, and the other copy would naturally be sent to that place.

While they were talking, Xu Jie had briefly read Wei Guangde's memorial, and then handed it to Li Chunfang and said, "Just send the ticket in like this."

Li Chunfang took it over and glanced at it roughly, nodded, got up and went to the book case, and made a draft for Zhao Chen in Xu Jie's office.

Seeing that the purpose of his trip was achieved, Wei Guangde resigned from the cabinet, looked around all the way, but he didn't see Gao Gong either.

It was very strange that several cabinet ministers were in the chief assistant's office, obviously discussing matters before he entered, but Gao Gong was the only one who was not there.

Could it be that he was called into the palace by Emperor Longqing?

When Wei Guangde left the cabinet and walked through the Meridian Gate, he suddenly heard shouts behind him.

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

Wei Guangde stopped and turned his head to look, it was Ouyang Yijing who was chasing after him quickly.

When Ouyang Yijing got close, he smiled and said: "Brother Si Zhi, this point is not in the Sixth Division Gallery on business, what are you doing here?"

"Earlier, my book office said that I saw you go to the cabinet, so I came out and waited for you."

Ouyang Yijing dragged Wei Guangde to a secluded place nearby before speaking.

"But what's the matter? You still have people watching the cabinet?"

Wei Guangde asked with wide-eyed eyes, feeling that Ouyang Yijing seemed to be getting bolder this year.

He went to the cabinet by himself, and was watched by his people, just for what?

Although the sixth division was originally a yamen for the emperor to control the cabinet, it can't be so blatant.

"I'm also a little scared now, feeling that the situation is a little out of control."

Ouyang Yijing explained in a low voice.

"What's going on? Are you fighting with the cabinet again?"

Wei Guangde asked curiously, could it be that the group of cabinet ministers gathered together to discuss how to punish the Six Divisions?

Gao Gong went to the palace to look for the emperor. After all, he had to move six subjects, and the cabinet couldn't reach them. Only the emperor had the right to move.

"That's about it."

Wei Guangde was just joking and said casually, but Ouyang Yijing nodded solemnly.

"What's going on, tell me in detail."

When Wei Guangde saw his serious expression, his heart skipped a beat and he asked hastily.

"Hu Yingjia went to Jiangnan to work as a pusher, and when he passed Nanjing, he didn't know what he said, and the Kedao in Nanjing seemed to be angry.

Yesterday, I also sent a letter to Jingshi Kedao, wanting to impeach the cabinet ministers for illegal activities together. "

Ouyang Yijing said quickly, but Wei Guangde was stunned all of a sudden.

He didn't expect that Hu Yingjia would have such a great influence in the science and Taoism when he went to a local area to be a promotion official. If he went to Nanjing, he would be able to get the Nanjing science and Taoism officials to fight for him.

"They took action to impeach the cabinet ministers? Who is the target?"

Wei Guangde asked curiously, but when he said it, he wanted to slap his own mouth, how obvious it was.

"Gao Gong, and Huang Guangsheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, and some others."

Ouyang Yijing didn't notice the change in Wei Guangde's expression, and introduced him directly.

"Huang Guangsheng? Are Huang Guangsheng and Gao Gong in the same group?"

Wei Guangde was even more surprised now. Huang Guangsheng gave people the impression that he was a very lonely person. If he were to contact Gao Gong secretly, Wei Guangde felt that his three views were a bit ruined.

"I don't know the details, but this time many people were involved."

So Ouyang Yijing told Wei Guangde the impeachment memorial that Nanjing Kedao had just delivered today.

"This is the map cannon."

After listening to Ouyang Yijing's introduction, Wei Guangde could only think so in his heart.

The Nanjing Bureau of Officials gave Cen Yongbin, Yushi Yinxiao of Huguangdao and other officials of Nanjing Kedao to impeach Wan Gong, the former imperial censor, Lv Guangxun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Huang Guangsheng, the current minister of punishment, Huang Guangsheng, the minister of Taichang Temple, etc. Qing Luoliang should be dismissed, Lei Li, Minister of Industry, and Qian Bangyan, Minister of Punishment, can be prosecuted, and Gao Gong, a scholar of the University, has been repeatedly discussed, and it is appropriate to order each to become an official.

Well, a bunch of ministers were impeached at once, some were former ministers, and there were quite a few incumbents.

You think this is the end, this is where it goes.

The second memorial by Cen Yongbin and others also impeached Lin Tingji, Minister of the Ministry of Rites of Nanjing, Guo Liyan, Minister of Shangbao, Wang Dao, and the last emperor's edict.

"There is a third memorial."

Ouyang Yijing looked at Wei Guangde who had opened his mouth in surprise and said.

"The third way is to impeach who?"

Wei Guangde couldn't help being surprised, he was too aggressive, especially this Cen Yongbin, who was the one who impeached Zhang Ke before, and he couldn't make sense to many people.

This time, he was the vanguard against the imperial court again, and every impeachment was signed by him, and he looked very advanced.

"Nanjing Kedao official Cen Yongbin and others used their military positions to pick up the relics from Chen. They impeached Zhu Xizhong, the governor of the military governor's mansion, Cheng Guogong Zhu Xizhong, the governor of the water transport Linhuai Marquis Li Tingzhu, the governor of the right army's governor's mansion Tang Yu, and the commander of Jinyiwei. Zhang Dayong is not in charge, so let's go."

Ouyang Yijing said in a low tone, no wonder Ouyang Yijing felt a little scared before, the science and technology in Nanjing were crazy, anyone dared to impeach, and they all opened their mouths.

"No wonder I didn't see Gao Gong in the cabinet before, this is going home and writing from Chen."

Hu Yingjia had impeached Gao Gong twice before, each time forcing Gao Gong to go home and rest for two days.

Now Beijing's science and technology are not noisy, and Nanjing has begun to take over and continue to impeach.

Wei Guangde was thinking about this all the way back to the school recording hall, it was really strange.

Why does Hu Yingjia have to fight Gao Gong?
At the beginning, this person bit Xu Jie and Gao Gong at the same time, but now Xu Jie stopped biting, and only caught Gao Gong to bite.

Involuntarily, Wei Guangde wondered if there was any relationship between Hu Yingjia and Gao Gong that he didn't know about?

Or, Hu Yingjia and Xu Jie
Thinking of this, Wei Guangde suddenly felt enlightened.

By the way, Hu Yingjia also impeached Xu Jie before, but it didn't hurt or itch, it didn't just keep biting his mouth like he did with Gao Gong.

In the cabinet, Xu Jie and Gao Gong were at odds, and Gao Gong and Guo Pu had been fighting Xu Jie in the cabinet.

Xu Jie is very tolerant.

He can endure Yan Song being on his head for more than ten years, and naturally he can endure Gao Gong's arrogance for a long time.

Wei Guangde couldn't help but think of Lan Daoxing who died for no apparent reason. If it weren't for some clues, who would have thought that Xu Jie brought him to the capital.

And he uttered key words at the critical moment that prompted Yan Song's downfall, which directly affected Emperor Jiajing's judgment.

After all, Hu Yingjia is from Nanzhili, and he and Xu Jie are natural allies.

Wei Guangde thought he had seen through the trick, he could only say that his performance was so good that he deceived everyone.

Others regarded Hu Yingjia as a clown, who danced in front of the most powerful people in the dynasty, and finally ended up being a pusher in the place where he was assigned.

What Wei Guangde is most worried about now is actually what Xu Jie wants to do?
He planned so many actions behind his back, was he just trying to defeat Gao Gong, or did he want to uproot the power of Prince Yu's Mansion.

Of course, Wei Guangde soon felt that he was thinking too much.

King Yu is now the emperor, and he will never allow such a thing to happen.

But, after all, he still has the card of Zhang Juzheng in his hand, perhaps in King Yu's heart, Zhang Juzheng is also his team member of King Yu's Mansion.

While thinking wildly, the carriages were all outside the school record hall.

Wei Guangde got off the carriage and walked into the school recording hall. Before he got to the lobby, he heard the voices of people inside, which was very noisy.

"Be careful, here are the books on medicine and divination, put them in order by number, so it's easy to check."

Wang Xilie's voice had already reached his ears, apparently he was personally supervising the packing of the manuscript.

They should be sorted and sorted, and the category and number of books should be marked on each book box to facilitate the counting of the manuscripts when they are handed over. He has already explained these before.

Wei Guangde went over to take a look, and Lu Yan was on the other side, also counting the manuscripts that the scribes had packed up, and then ordered someone to pack them into boxes.

The scene seemed a bit chaotic, but since no book box was sealed by them, the speed was slower but no mistakes could be made.

In fact, completing the transcription work more than ten days in advance gave them enough time.

Wei Guangde didn't go over to disturb them, but left after watching for a while, and went back to the yard he allocated, thinking about what Ouyang Yijing said today.

Up to now, he still didn't understand what Xu Jie wanted to do, just kill Gao Gong?

You know, how long has King Yu been on the throne, can the most trusted minister under him be defeated by him?

But if Gao Gong was really tricked by Xu Jie, in that year and a half, not to mention Chen Yiqin or other people from Prince Yu's Mansion, even Emperor Longqing might have to keep his tail between his legs.

Two days ago, Emperor Longqing wanted to buy a batch of jewels to reward the harem, but Xu Jie temporarily blocked them back because of insufficient national resources.

If this matter was placed in the Jiajing Dynasty, Xu Jie would not have dared to do so.

Harem?

What is Emperor Longqing doing now?
Wei Guangde couldn't help thinking curiously.

During the time when the office is scattered, the officials in the school record library still get off work on time, and the manuscripts are sealed.

Now there is no need to rush to work day and night.

After Wei Guangde got into the carriage, he said to the chief attendant beside him: "Send someone to find Chen Ju, Eunuch Chen, and ask him to come home for tea when he has time."

Chen Ju didn't come to Wei's house for a few days, Wei Guangde felt that even Emperor Longqing, he still couldn't let go of spying on the news in the palace, at least he still needed to know what the emperor was doing.

Chen Ju, has been selected by Li Fang to continue working in the imperial court, after all, he has been in the palace for a long time.

Li Fang also felt that this person was credible and available.

The next day, Wei Guangde did not wait for the cabinet to return the memorial in the school records library, which means that Emperor Longqing did not seem to approve the red today, otherwise he should know the news when the memorial returned to the cabinet.

After returning home at night, Wei Guangde finally saw Chen Ju.

"Brother Chen, how is your stay in the palace during this time?"

After a few greetings, Wei Guangde began to ask about the situation in the palace.

"Oh, that's not like that, it's just a job of serving people anyway."

When it comes to the palace, Chen Ju is obviously not very interested.

"I heard that His Majesty is in the palace, and someone gave him a lot of fun things?"

Wei Guangde continued to ask.

"You know? That's right. After all, he came out of Prince Yu's mansion. Those people shouldn't hide it from you."

Chen Ju just replied.

"By the way, you are by His Majesty's side. Did Your Majesty read the impeachment memorial sent by Nanjing? What did he say at that time?"

Wei Guangde first went around in circles and asked about Gao Gong.

"I understand what you want to know. I definitely won't criticize it. Not only Gao Gong and Huang Guangsheng were impeached, but Cheng Guogong Zhu Xizhong and Linhuai Marquis Li Tingzhu were also impeached. I really don't know what they are going to do.

After reading it, His Majesty scolded Cen Yongbin for being stupid, and wanted to transfer him to a local government to stay away from science and technology. "

"So, in the end, His Majesty didn't move Cen Yongbin?"

Hearing what Chen Ju said, Wei Guangde's heart skipped a beat and he asked.

"Yes, what Eunuch Li said is also reasonable. If he is incompetent, the princes of the court will impeach him, and it will not be too late to mobilize him."

Chen Ju replied.

Wei Guangde now remembers Li Fang, although he doesn't know the purpose of what he said, but he must have his own reasons.

"How is Your Majesty doing in the palace?"

It was only at this time that Wei Guangde asked about serious matters, and he came to Chen Ju because he wanted to know what was going on in the palace.

"Naturally good, but"

Chen Ju frowned, not knowing what to say about it for a moment.

"But what?"

Of course Wei Guangde would not just let this topic go, and continued to ask.

"It was alright in January. After taking off the service last month, I began to select beauties in the palace. I asked people like Meng Chong to help Zhang Luo. Eunuch Li persuaded him a few times and was punished by His Majesty."

Chen Ju said with a sigh.

He didn't feel it when he was not in Prince Yu's mansion before, but now that King Yu is the emperor, he realizes that compared with Emperor Jiajing, Emperor Longqing's virtue is really not a little bit worse.

"In addition, Your Majesty also likes gadgets very much. They were all bought by Teng Xiang and Meng Chong. It was their idea to buy jewelry before, but the inner treasury is running out of money, and they want to get some money from the court. .”

Chen Ju said.

"So, His Majesty became obsessed with beauty not long after entering the palace?"

Wei Guangde is already frowning at this moment, he doubts what will happen to Emperor Longqing if this continues.

No wonder I asked Li Fang to ask me about it before, but now it's been so long, but I don't care about it.

Calculating the time, the letter should have arrived at Tu Zeming's place, and Tan Lun's place should be there soon. I just hope that they will report this matter as soon as possible.
