The Prosperous Era of Longwan

On this night, some people held a banquet to celebrate, and some drank to drown their sorrows, but they were all drunk.

However, Wei Guangde did not go out again after returning home today.

This is the capital, the territory of Dongchang and Jinyiwei. At this time, they went out to drink and celebrate without considering the feelings of Xiyuan.

The news brought by Chen Ju today is not only the matter of King Jing's agreement to vassalage, but also the emperor's approval of Yu Dayou's memorial to be transferred to Guizhou as a garrison general.

Originally, Wei Guangde wanted to let Yu Dayou go to Huguang, but he didn't expect that he would be kicked to Guizhou in the end.

However, Wei Guangde did not forget to send a message to Yu Dayou who was still in Datong. After all, the dust had settled.

Although he cannot be reinstated directly and continue to be the chief military officer, the position of a staff general is not considered low.

In fact, the position of chief military officer is only set up according to needs during wartime. Many provinces in the south that are not in war do not have the position of chief military officer at all. All local garrisons are managed by Dusi Yamen.

After dinner, Wei Guangde wrote a letter in the study and asked Zhang Ji to arrange for someone to be sent to Datong to hand it over to Yu Dayou. Today's work was completely finished and he could rest.

In the next few days, I don't know whether it was Prince Jing's Mansion or the Yan family who had accepted their fate and did not make any obstructive move.

The memorial sent back to the cabinet by the Supervisor of Rites went through the procedure smoothly. The Ministry of War received the document from the cabinet and quickly drafted an official document appointing Yu Dayou as Guizhou Zuolu Commander-in-Chief and sent it to Datong. The Ministry of Rites immediately contacted the workers after receiving the memorial. The Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Husbandry, and the Mansion of Prince Jing discussed the matter of King Jing’s enfeoffment of the country.

A few days later, Wei Guangde heard the news. After several discussions, the planned De'anjing Prince's Mansion had a preliminary plan, which was to renovate it on the original site of Shou Prince's Mansion.

Speaking of which, King Jing was already the third king to be granted a title in De'an.

In fact, the Shou Prince's Mansion was originally supposed to be the residence of Qi Prince Zhu Youbo, but the prince left a few years after arriving in the fiefdom. When a ready-made palace became available, Shou Prince Zhu Youke took the idea and asked the court to change the title.

And now, the vacated Prince's Mansion is about to welcome its third owner - King Jing Zhu Zaizhen. The two previous princes both had no heirs, so when King Jing comes here, it is natural to adjust the feng shui of the palace.

Regarding the renovation proposed by Prince Jing's Mansion, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry all agreed.

As long as the regulations are not exceeded, the Ministry of Rites will certainly not care. The Ministry of Household Affairs only hopes to save money. The other party agrees to just renovate and adjust the feng shui of the palace. Naturally, they will not disagree. After all, most buildings will be preserved, and the Ministry of Works will Naturally, there will be no objection to new projects, and I hope that the bigger the changes, the better.

In short, at this time, the opinions in the court were surprisingly unanimous, that is, to complete the preparations for King Jing to become a vassal as soon as possible and send people out of the capital as soon as possible.

Now many of the officials below could not wait any longer and were looking for opportunities to get in touch with Chen Yiqin, Yin Shizhen and other officials of Prince Yu's palace. Gao Gong's family also became crowded.

As for Wei Guangde, there have been a lot of posts about his visit recently, and Wei Guangde can only pick and choose to reply to some.

Wei Guangde was a little hesitant about the sudden twists and turns. The thought of being open when An Dahan joined the bandits gradually faded away now.

Gao Gong also revealed the news to him. After the battle was won, there was no need to worry about anything.

Just over half a month later, a dusty man walked into Wei Guangde's house.

When the big man came in, Wei Guangde got the news and hurriedly came out to greet him.

"Uncle Yu, it's been a hard journey."

Wei Guangde stepped forward and cupped his hands.

The visitor was Yu Dayou, who was returning to the capital from Datong. After receiving the transfer order from the Ministry of War, he packed his luggage and said goodbye to Li Wenjin and Liu Han.

"It's hard work or not, it's this life."

Yu Dayou said something, and when Wei Guangde gave up his position and asked him to go first, Yu Dayou waved his hand again, "This is your home, I owe it to you to help me deal with this matter, otherwise I would still be eating sand in the border town. "

"Everywhere, everything is deserved. Uncle Yu fought for the country at the border and deserved it."

Wei Guangde smiled hurriedly.

After the two of them entered the living room and sat down, Yu Dayou said again: "I will stay in the capital for two days this time, so I won't bother you."

"You're welcome, my nephew is just asking for it."

Wei Guangde said hurriedly.

Until now, Yu Dayou still couldn't adapt to his choice to invest in Wei Guangde, but he didn't choose to regret it. He said, "I have to go to the Lu family tomorrow. What's going on with the Lu family now?"

"I've already asked people to prepare a banquet. Let's eat and chat later."

Wei Guangde smiled.

"After receiving your letter, Mingju also wrote me a letter a few days ago. I haven't contacted him for a few years. He told me that you were the one who asked him for the official, Ma De, and the Ministry of War actually Transfer me to Guizhou."

"There are mountains, rivers, and ravines over there. Those who were sent there in the past are useless. The Ministry of War really can't find any famous generals."

Wei Guangde also heard about the plans of the Ministry of War. Guizhou was almost dominated by chieftains, and the officials sent by the imperial court could only control the surrounding areas of prefectures and counties.

Most of the chieftains were dissatisfied with the king's rule and would make trouble at every turn. When the officers and soldiers arrived, they would immediately hide in the mountains. There was no way they could do anything about it. In the end, they could only appease the troubles.

In fact, Huang Guangsheng wanted to keep Yu Dayou in Huguang at the beginning, but once something was done, it would be difficult to control it later.

"Okay, I heard that the people over there are pretty and pretty. I'm going to go over this time and see how powerful they are."

Yu Dayou went straight to him after entering the capital. Wei Guangde was still very satisfied. He had not learned the tricks of officialdom. Now he found an inn in the city to settle down, and then found an auspicious day to visit him. He still had the temper of a soldier, straight to the point, such a person Easy to deal with and reliable.

"There's no rush. The generals in Guizhou are just a transition. It's really difficult for the toasts in the southwest to make trouble, but that's it. If it weren't for the complicated terrain there, they would have been wiped out countless times."

Wei Guangde smiled and continued: "When the time comes, I will find an opportunity to transfer you back to Zhejiang or Guangdong. I heard that the Japanese pirates have been making a lot of noise recently. Hu Zongxian can't control it. The most terrible thing is that they seem to have been beaten in Zhejiang. I was scared, and now I have moved my target to Fujian and Guangdong.”

Wei Guangde knew that, in the end, he went to the coast to exterminate the Japanese pirates, but it was not clear how he left Datong and returned.

Since in history, Yu Dayou was originally involved in the battle to exterminate Japanese pirates, this time he sent someone to Guizhou, and he had to find a way to transfer him to exterminate Japanese pirates.

However, Yu Dayou is from Fujian, and the court has a system. It seems that Yu Dayou cannot return to Fujian.

Zhejiang, let's forget it. It's under Hu Zongxian's nose, and I'm afraid something will go wrong again. Relatively speaking, teasing Yu Dayou to go to Guangdong is the best choice.

In the current Ming Dynasty, Wei Guangde knew only a few people. Zhang Juzheng and Yu Dayou were the only ones who knew that Yan Shifan was finally beheaded. It is not clear how Yan Song died, but it seems that he was not punished.

Yu Dayou settled down at Wei Guangde's house and went to Lu Mansion to pay homage to Lu Bing the next day.

When Yu Dayou was in prison, Lu Bing took Lu Yi to see Yu Dayou. He was also very aware of the direction of the court these days. Although he was a little surprised that Yu Dayou appeared in the capital so quickly, he was not surprised.

But no matter how the wind in the court turns, it seems that everything will be fine for the Lu family.

When Lu Bing was alive, he had always strictly prohibited the Lu family from getting close to the two kings. The reason was actually known to everyone.

In the beginning, the main reason why the Lu family was in panic after Lu Bing's death was that they were worried that no matter who came to power, the two kings would eventually be angry with the Lu family. After all, the Lu family was just the courtiers of Emperor Jiajing and did not choose to take sides. They even kept no contact with each other. Attitude.

But soon after Lu Bing's death, news spread that the Lu family had turned to King Yu because he had had private contact with Wei Guangde.

After King Yu personally went to the Lu Mansion to express his condolences, the rumors seemed to be confirmed. In a short period of time, they became the talk of the capital after dinner, but it was not long before they were replaced by new gossip.

Well now, Emperor Jiajing has announced the future heir to the throne. The Lu family is on the side of King Yu. Not only does it have no disadvantages, but it has many benefits.

Knowing that Yu Dayou was temporarily living in Wei Guangde's house, Lu Yi was not surprised. Without Yu Dayou, Lu Bing would not pay attention to Wei Guangde, a new scholar.

After that, Yu Dayou had to find time to go to the Ministry of War to collect his official certificate and seal, and prepare to go to Guizhou to take up his post. But did this have anything to do with Wei Guangde? The day after Yu Dayou moved into the Wei family, Wei Guangde sent Zhang Ji to make an appointment with Gao Gong, Chen Yiqin and others. Meet.

It was still the restaurant near the backyard of the palace, but the only people who came were Gao Gong and Li Fang, the eunuch next to Prince Yu.

"The dust has finally settled. Come on, let's drink this glass of wine."

Now Gao Gong and Wei Guangde are the representatives of Prince Yu's Palace in the court, people who seek trouble. Originally, Wei Guangde only planned to make an appointment with Chen Yiqin from the Palace, mainly to talk about precautions, but he didn't expect Prince Yu to directly ask the people around him. The eunuch Li Fang called him over, which shows that he attaches great importance to Wei Guangde.

Li Fang said with a smile at this time: "Actually, on the day the news came out, His Highness wanted to invite the two gentlemen to the palace to celebrate together, but he was worried. So, since Mr. Wei Guangde made an appointment today, Your Highness sent me here."

When Li Fang said the word "worry", she raised her index finger and pointed to the sky.

"That's how it should be."

Wei Guangde nodded and smiled: "When I heard the news from the palace that day, I just asked someone to send a note, and I didn't dare to invite everyone to come out for a gathering."

"I had a drink with my colleagues that day to celebrate. Although I didn't say it explicitly, everyone should know it."

Gao Gong also smiled at this moment and said: "Zhang Juzheng, he should have learned the news from Mr. Xu Ge."

"After being on tenterhooks for so long, I can finally feel at ease."

Li Fang smiled and picked up the jug and filled Gao Gong and Wei Guangde with drinks. Even though Wei Guangde tried to stop them in a hurry, he couldn't stop them.

"Qing Su, Shandai, I am pouring wine for you two on behalf of His Royal Highness King Yu. His Highness specifically told me before I left."

After Gao Gong and Wei Guangde were filled with wine, he poured wine into his own glass.

When he put down the wine bottle, his smile had gone away, and he said with a sad and angry look: "Shan Loi does not work in the palace, and I don't know the situation in the palace. Your Highness has lived a hard life these years."

Gao Gong nodded at this moment, then smiled and said: "It's all over, why do you still mention those things?" ’

"Yes, it's all over."

Li Fang also put away her serious expression and returned to a smile.

However, Wei Guangde shook his head inappropriately at this time and said: "I invited Brother Su Qing and Eunuch Li to come here today, firstly to celebrate, and secondly for this matter."

"Um?"

Li Fang's smile gradually disappeared at this time, and she looked at Wei Guangde in surprise, not quite understanding the meaning of his words.

Emperor Jiajing has made his meaning very clear. King Jing will be in charge of Fan De'an Mansion, so there is nothing to worry about.

However, Gao Gong on one side understood the meaning of Wei Guangde's words, which was a reminder to them.

"Yesterday Yu Dayou came back from Datong and stayed at my place. Today, he went to Lu Mansion to express his condolences."

Wei Guangde continued.

Gao Gong nodded, then turned to Li Fang and said, "Eunuch Li, you stay with His Highness, and all his food will be left to you."

"Could it be."

Li Fang now understood what Wei Guangde meant. After Lu Bing's incident, Wei Guangde specifically reminded them to pay attention to food safety.

However, at this time, Li Fang still felt a little incredible.

"Old Li, if you travel a hundred miles, you will succeed only half the time. At this point, you can't make any mistakes while playing. In the end, the success will be ruined."

Of course Gao Gong knew the power of it. Seeing that Li Fang still didn't believe it, he hurriedly reminded: "The only chance for a comeback now seems to be that His Highness is ill. You must pay attention to this matter. Shandai is a very important reminder. , it’s not time to relax yet.”

Having said this, Gao Gong suddenly lowered his voice and said, as if he was afraid that the sound would spread out: "Beware of a dog jumping over the wall in a hurry."

At this time, Gao Gong raised Wei Guangde's ability to another level in his heart.

I used to think that this young man was pretty good. Not only did he have general knowledge, but he was also very methodical and had a long-term vision. Now it seems that he needs to add the word "cautious".

King Biyu is even more "cautious".

Until now, he has not heard anyone say a word of warning, not even Chen Yiqin.

Now, whether it is the people around Gao Gong or those who stay in the palace, they are in a happy mood these days, almost ecstatic, because they made the right bet.

Although most people believed in their hearts that Prince Yu should take the throne, at that time, when Prince Yu's palace was in the most difficult time, they did not see them lending a helping hand.

For a period of time, Gao Gong could feel the strong despair shown by King Yu. He even experienced despair, and only gradually came out of this emotion after he had the will to die.

Before coming into contact with Wei Guangde, the entire Prince Yu's Mansion seemed to be sliding into the abyss, no matter how hard he tried to reverse the situation, he could not.

However, it seems that after contacting Wei Guangde, the situation began to change.

"A few days ago, I was just as happy as everyone else. I only thought of it when General Yu went to the Lu Mansion, so I hurriedly came to give everyone a heads up."
