Chapter 477 476 Shut him up
Li Caifeng, I don’t know her.
Wei Guangde didn't know who the future Queen Mother would be. He only knew that as long as he gave birth to a child for Prince Yu, she would definitely be the Queen Mother in the future.
Having arrived in front of the palace gate, Li Fang immediately shut up and extended her hand to invite Wei Guangde into the palace.
In front of King Yu, Wei Guangde repeated what he had said to Li Fang before.
"This is a frame-up. Li Fang, send someone to deliver the news to Mr. Xu Ge quickly. They must not let them get what they want."
Of course King Yu knew that this matter was not a trivial matter, and he made a decision immediately without waiting to discuss it with other palace officials.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After agreeing, Li Fang left the dormitory and made arrangements.
Originally, this shouldn't be a place to talk about things, but if you were to rush the time and take action one minute earlier, the whole thing might have turned out differently.
After a while, when Li Fang came back, he also brought Yin Shizhen and Zhang Juzheng.
Li Fang went out to arrange for someone to deliver the news, and heard them waiting outside the inner courtyard, so she brought them in and briefly told them what happened on the way.
Naturally, the most excited person among them was Zhang Juzheng.
He didn't know that the teacher and Lan Daoxing were really connected. In his opinion, this was framed by the Yan family, which was really shameless.
"You know it all."
When King Yu saw the expressions of Yin Shizhen and Zhang Juzheng, he knew that Li Fang should have told them the news, so he asked casually.
Yin Shizhen nodded, and Zhang Juzheng said excitedly: "Your Highness, the Yan family is still quiet at this time, and they want to frame my teacher. We can't let their treacherous plan succeed."
Everyone can understand Zhang Juzheng's performance.
Not only because Xu Jie is his teacher, but also his background.
If the backstage fails, Zhang Juzheng's future will be in doubt.
Of course, in Prince Yu's Mansion, he can always be put to great use in the future, but without Xu Jie's support, he will still be a bit inferior.
Now Zhang Juzheng already knows that his teacher Xu Jie has been secretly working for him and wants to promote him to the position of offering wine in the Imperial College. That's why Wei Guangde was promoted to the post of horse washing in the Economic Affairs Bureau last time.
If the teacher is really pushed out by Yan Song, there will definitely be no chance for this wine sacrifice.
From the fourth rank official position, he is already a senior official.
"I have asked Li Fang to pass the news to Mr. Xu Ge, and we will also discuss how to solve this matter."
King Yu said.
"A few adults are available for breakfast. If not, you can come to the front and join us."
At this time, Li Fang suddenly spoke.
Since King Yu got up, his breakfast has not been used yet.
As for people like Wei Guangde and Yin Shizhen, they should have come to the palace after using them at home, but they can't let Prince Yu starve all the time because of this.
"We've already used it, so let's go outside to discuss it first, and wait until His Highness has finished his breakfast before we make any arguments."
Yin Shizhen understood the reason why Li Fang said this, so he immediately answered.
Li Fang brought Wei Guangde in because the matter was urgent.
Now His Highness has asked him to send someone to inform Xu Jie. The resolution of this matter mainly depends on Mr. Xu Ge. Prince Yu's Mansion really can't do much to help.
After the most critical time passed, Li Fang wanted to take the people out first, so as not to affect Prince Yu. After all, everyone was still in His Highness's bedroom.
Soon, Wei Guangde and the others were brought out by Li Fang, and King Yu also walked behind them. He would not eat where he slept.
Along the way, Zhang Juzheng was still sighing.
He knew about the teacher Xu Jie's side. Although manpower had been arranged in all the major yamen in the court, Jin Yiwei's side really didn't have much to do with it.
He had asked clearly before that Lan Daoxing was captured and taken to Fusi, Beizhen.
If it were Lu Bing in the past, he wouldn't have worried that he would be beaten into a trap and framed forcibly. Both the government and the public knew this. Lu Bing was a fairly upright person, and at least he would not use dirty tricks to deal with civil servants.
It's different now. Although it seems that Chengguo Gong Zhu Xizhong is in charge, in fact he doesn't care much at all.
Zhu Xizhong is not only in charge of the Jin Yiwei, but also in charge of the Forbidden City Palace and the Beijing Camp. The people below are managing the Jin Yiwei. Who knows who has the final say in the guard now, and how many of those people are from the Yan family.
Anyway, Xu Jie should not be related to Jin Yiwei.
Zhang Juzheng was also secretly regretting at this time that he had not had a close relationship with the people in Jinyiwei before, and he would only be caught blind when something really happened.
While thinking about it, Zhang Juzheng suddenly saw Wei Guangde next to him.
The fact that he knew this meant that there was someone in Jinyiwei.
"Shan Loi, how is your relationship in Jinyiwei? Can you let people keep an eye on you and prevent people inside from messing around?"
Zhang Juzheng asked.
"This matter is a bit troublesome. Now that the Fusi Prison in Beizhen has been replaced, I really can't do anything about it."
Wei Guangde sighed: "The news can be passed on, but they are just minions, what do you think they can do.
Besides, since the Yan family took action, they must have opened up the joints, fearing that they would not succeed. "
Wei Guangde's statement made Zhang Juzheng a little frustrated.
However, since the Yan family planned this matter, let alone getting people into the imperial prison, even if they were arrested and taken into the Ministry of Punishment, the Yan family would probably be in control of the Prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and it would be difficult for my teacher to get involved.
Wei Guangde had an idea before, but he didn't want to take it out yet.
It wasn't to embarrass others, but he felt that the trick was really a bit underhanded.
He also hopes that Xu Jie can find a way to rescue Lan Daoxing. After all, judging from the previous situation where Li Fang sent people to follow him, Lan Daoxing and Xu Jie are related.
If you can save people, why bother to harm them?
It’s better to wait.
If Xu Jie really has no choice and Prince Yu's Mansion has to take action, he will come up with his own ideas.
Moreover, even if it is brought out, the number of people who know it must be controlled to a very small number, but not too many people can know it, it will be too cruel.
Several people left the inner courtyard and returned outside. After entering the room, they asked each other for advice, but there was no good solution. In the end, they could only wait for Mr. Xu Ge to see if they could think of any solution.
Xu Jie, who received the news, was at a loss what to do.
From the moment he received the news from Prince Yu's Mansion, Xu Jie fell into deep fear.
The reason is similar to what Wei Guangde guessed. He does have a deep connection with Lan Daoxing. Even if it weren't for his words, Lan Daoxing might still be living a happy and wealthy life in Shandong.
Lan Daoxing had already created quite a reputation in Shandong, so he lived a comfortable life.
Xu Jie knew that there was such a person through letters with his friends. He knew that there were some methods that could deceive people's hearts, so he became interested and finally tried every means to get the person to come to the capital.
In order to hide this relationship, Xu Jie and Lan Daoxing had very little contact with each other on weekdays. He did not intend to use this relationship unless it was absolutely necessary.
In fact, this is all to lose power in the fight with Yan Song and to prepare a trump card for himself in the future.
But now, Emperor Jiajing obviously no longer favors Yan Song, and he has been running several errands for the emperor recently, so he decided to contact Lan Daoxing to completely eliminate the remaining trace of Yan Song in Emperor Jiajing's heart. Think about it.
Now that Lan Daoxing has been exposed, Xu Jie doesn't know if the relationship between him and Lan Daoxing has been exposed. If this is the case, Yan Song will never let go of this opportunity.
Just as Wei Guangde thought, as long as Lan Daoxing can't survive the torture of Jin Yiwei and is recruited, what should he do?
Then he could only find a way to take action before the Jin Yiwei tortured him, but he really didn't have any spies among the Jin Yiwei.
As for the reason, it was naturally because the former Lu Bing was not someone who framed officials in prison to gain credit.
With Lu Bing here, the officials really don't worry about being framed.
As soon as Lu Bing died, Xu Jie really wanted to intervene in Jinyiwei, but the time was too short and there was no time to make arrangements.
Who knows if the senior executive of Jinyiwei you win over will sell you out later and regard him as a stepping stone to your career.
That's Jin Yiwei.
What should we do now?
Xu Jie had temporarily put down the work at hand and was pacing back and forth in the room, thinking hard about how to solve the situation.
This is not a matter of framing or not, but that he is really involved.
After going through it in my mind, I found that among the resources at hand, I really couldn't find anyone who could reach out to Jin Yiwei.
The next moment, Xu Jie's eyes changed from hesitant to firm.
If Prince Yu's Mansion could receive the news, it must be through Lu Yi's hands.
As Lu Bing's son, Lu Yi must have received the resources left by Lu Bing after his death. Moreover, he also served in the Jinyi Guards, so he should be able to intervene.
Thinking of this, Xu Jie couldn't help but regret that he didn't communicate with Lu Yiduo after learning the news, and missed the opportunity to intervene in Jin Yiwei.
I don’t know what I was thinking at the time.
Thinking of this, Xu Jie sighed secretly in his heart and could only ask Prince Yu's Mansion to come forward to solve the problem.
But, how to solve it?
After all, Lan Daoxing's matter has now turned into an imperial case. No matter what, the outcome must be explained to Emperor Jiajing.
It’s better to contact Prince Yu’s Mansion first.
With a calculation in his mind, Xu Jie did not delay. Instead of sending someone to deliver the news to Prince Yu's Mansion, he went there in person.
He did not enter Prince Yu's Mansion, but went directly to a nearby restaurant.
When everyone in Prince Yu's Mansion was helpless, a young chamberlain came over in a hurry and whispered a few words to Li Fang. Li Fang's expression only changed slightly for an instant before returning to normal.
He nodded and whispered to the waiter: "I understand."
After waiting for the people to go down, Li Fang whispered to Prince Yu: "Your Highness, the news just came that Mr. Xu Ge is here."
"Come in person?"
King Yu was slightly surprised and asked.
"yes."
Li Fang replied.
Naturally, Yin Shizhen, Wei Guangde and others heard their conversation.
Wei Guangde knew clearly in his heart that Xu Ge was probably helpless, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.
In fact, he could guess a little from the frown on his face, but he thought that Zhang Juzheng might not be selected as the successor by Xu Jie, so he might not know the full strength of Mr. Xu Ge, so he didn't say much.
King Yu looked around at the people in the room. This time they were not in the courtyard of the study hall, but in a small courtyard close to the inner palace. He did not summon Tang Ruji here, but arranged an errand for him to leave the palace. work.
"I'm afraid Mr. Xu Ge doesn't have any regulations. Think about it, is there any way to solve the problem at hand?"
King Yu said to them, "If not, then you have to meet Mr. Xu Ge to talk about the situation, discuss a charter, and see what should be done."
After King Yu finished speaking, Yin Shizhen looked at Wei Guangde, then at Zhang Juzheng, and said with a wry smile: "You two, what can you do?"
Well, his question first revealed that he had not thought of a solution.
When Zhang Juzheng faced Yin Shizhen's question, he shook his head sadly. He didn't want to say anything now.
It's not that he didn't expect to cause trouble in Jinyiwei, but now that things have happened, how to resolve the matter safely is the most difficult thing.
For imperial cases, those registered with the emperor must have an explanation. It is impossible to use procrastination like other cases.
The fact that people were arrested and sent to prison actually showed that Emperor Jiajing was inclined to deceive Lan Daoxing and actually dared to deceive him.
In this way, Wei Guangde was the only one left silent in the room.
As for King Yu, he had set his sights on Wei Guangde from the beginning, hoping that Wei Guangde could come up with a solution.
Well, for planning things, Prince Yu's Mansion used to rely on Gao Gong, and Chen Yiqin could sometimes think of ways, but now it seems that he can only rely on Wei Guangde.
"There is definitely no perfect way."
At this time, facing the gaze of everyone in the room, Wei Guangde could not remain silent.
Yes, at this time Zhang Juzheng and Yin Shizhen were also looking at him, waiting for him to speak.
However, Wei Guangde's first sentence made a hint of surprise appear on Zhang Juzheng's face.
Wei Guangde has a way.
Although the words also reveal that this method is not perfect and has hidden dangers, it should be able to solve the problem at hand.
"As long as the immediate difficulties can be solved, we will think of ways to see how things develop later."
King Yu spoke at this time.
Wei Guangde glanced at King Yu, and then said hesitantly: "Don't delay things, otherwise things will change easily."
Wei Guangde paused slightly as he said this, as if it was difficult to speak.
King Yu had already clenched his fists with both hands and stared at Wei Guangde without blinking, waiting for his next words.
Zhang Juzheng on the other side was similar to him, waiting for Wei Guangde to give an answer, although it seemed a little unfair.
Gritting his teeth, Wei Guangde felt that his performance was almost done, and he was afraid that if he continued to perform, he would fail. He looked up at King Yu, then at Li Fang, and then said: "Then shut up."
"Shut up?"
At this time, everyone had doubts in their hearts. How could he be made to shut up after being imprisoned? Is this a matter of shutting up as long as he could?
Only Li Fang understood what Wei Guangde meant after a brief confusion. He wanted to kill people and silence them.
No, it should be suicide out of fear of crime.
Now, only Lan Daoxing's suicide can solve the immediate trouble, before he opens his mouth.
Yin Shizhen and Zhang Juzheng probably didn't know about the relationship between Lan Daoxing and Xu Jie, so that's why they were like this.
Thinking of this, seeing King Yu still looking confused, Li Fang quietly whispered into King Yu's ear.
King Yu's eyes flashed slightly and he understood the meaning of Wei Guangde's words.
He is an insider and naturally knows the reason for Wei Guangde's reaction just now.
After all, although Lan Daoxing was the favored alchemist of Emperor Jiajing, he was from Xu Jie after all, and he could be considered on his side.
Even if King Yu no longer likes the alchemists, he still has a sense of tolerance for the people on his side. Even though he has already made up his mind in his heart that he will never let them go when he comes to power, but after knowing the relationship between Lan Daoxing and Xu Jie After that, he was naturally no longer within this scope.
