If Guo Dan is not mistaken, this should be the first time that Wanli personally hosted a banquet to entertain him.

Being able to rub Wanli's iron rooster for a meal, Guo Dan's inner sense of accomplishment is far better than earning 10,000 taels.

You have to eat enough, and who knows if there will be a next time.

As soon as the wine and food were served, the atmosphere became more harmonious, and the two greedy guys really talked about each other.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it smells like each other, a raccoon dog, and is embarrassed.

It wasn't until the fourth watch that Guo Dan walked out of the palace full of wine and food.

As soon as he came out, he saw a strange and familiar figure silently walking by.

"Aren't you bored standing here alone for so long, didn't you talk to those handsome guards?" Guo Dan quipped.

Yang Feixu ignored him.

Guo Dan had just drunk wine, and he said unyieldingly: "Otherwise, I will find another male bodyguard, and you will have a companion at that time." ”

Yang Feixu said lightly: "If you find someone to replace me, I won't be bored." ”

Guo Dan shook his head and said, "This is impossible. ”

"Why?"

Yang Feixu suddenly stopped and looked at Guo Dan with a frown.

Guo Dan said seriously: "Because I appreciate you." ”

Yang Feixu said coldly: "What do you appreciate about me, I'll change it." ”

Guo said lightly: "I appreciate that you are a female brocade guard." ”

"Shameless."

Yang Feixu scolded fiercely.

This really can't be changed, she would rather change her gender than take off this uniform.

"Haha."

In fact, Guo Dan just appreciates Yang Feixu's silence, as a bodyguard, if he loves gossip like Liu Xinmou, it would be really bad.

But Guo Dan will definitely not tell Yang Feixu about her advantages, lest she become proud and gossip.

By the time they returned to Kou's house, it was almost the fifth watch.

"Husband."

As soon as he entered the gate, he saw Kou Zhuan Sha carrying a lantern to greet him.

Worst! I didn't send someone to inform my wife first. Guo Dan immediately stepped forward, hugged her gently, and said softly: "Compare, let Mrs. worry." ”

"It's good if the husband comes back." Kou Lian shook her head slightly, but the corners of her eyes flashed with tears, tonight really scared her, talking to the emperor, how could she not talk about the fourth watch, especially Wanli, a lazy ghost, could she not worry, and asked again: "Why did the husband come back so late?" It smells of wine. ”

As she spoke, she leaned back slightly.

Guo Dan hurriedly said: "I didn't go to Chunmanlou, I don't believe you asked Feifu." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to Yang Feixu, who had just walked by with a horse.

Yang Feixu said: "I don't know, I've always been at the south gate, and the palace has many doors to go out." ”

Her tone was not half emotional, which made people have to believe her.

"Hey, hey, hey! What is called that you are only at the south gate, don't talk nonsense, this is a dead person. ”

Guo Dan pointed at Yang Feixu and said.

"I'll just tell the truth."

After Yang Feixu finished speaking, he led the horse and left.

"You ......"

"That's it!"

Kou Liansha patted him lightly and said angrily: "I'd rather you go to Chunmanlou, then I don't have to worry." ”

"I can't imagine that Mrs. is so generous, and I am really touched by my husband." Guo Dan said with emotion.

Kou Liansha snorted softly, "I have never restricted you from going to Chunmanlou. ”

Irony! It must be the other way around! Guo Dan said: "I have never been there recently. ”

Kou Liansha pursed her lips and glanced at him, and said, "Don't be poor, what are you talking about with Your Majesty, to talk about such a time?" ”

"Your Majesty......."

Guo Dan paused, and said: "If you wake up tomorrow, I'm afraid that if I say it, don't sleep tonight." ”

Kou Zhuansha said: "You said so, can I still sleep?" ”

Guo smiled lightly: "We can do some undulating exercises, which will help you sleep." ”

"Undulating motion is ......"

Halfway through the question, Kou Liansha suddenly reacted, and suddenly blushed and stared at Guo Dan obliquely.

"Okay!" Guo Dan sighed helplessly: "Your Majesty intends to contract Weihui Mansion to me." ”

Kou Zhuan Sha was petrified in an instant.

Guo Dan expected that it was right, when he said this, tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

.....

"Yikes! It's dawn! ”

Guo Dan held a cup of hot tea in one hand, pushed open the window with the other, saw that the sky was already bright, turned around again, leaned on the windowsill with his back, looked at Kou Zhuan Sha sitting at the tea table, and said with a wry smile: "Look, I'm not wrong, I don't have to sleep." ”

Kou Zhuisa just shook his head, his face was not sleepy, and said: "Although you have a point, maybe we can get manpower, materials, and everything from it, but we will also offend all the officials because of this, do you think it's really worth it?" ”

Guo Dan shook his head and said: "The whole thing is down, we are innocent, if they didn't target the racecourse, I probably wouldn't know about it, let alone get together, they pulled them in, not that we took the initiative to jump out and fight against them."

It can be seen that if we don't offend them, they won't let us go, and they will come to the door whenever they have the opportunity, and I have to let them know that we are not a piece of mud, and if they let us be rounded and flattened, and drag us into the water, we will have to pay the price, and besides, it is not me who takes the lead, I am just a technician. ”

Kou Zhuisa asked, "Who is the one who is leading the way?" ”

Guo Dan said: "Of course it is King Lu, he provoked this matter, of course he has to charge into battle, this is the retribution he deserves." ”

Kou Zhuisa asked again, "Then do you think you can really succeed?" ”

Guo Dan shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, but unless they give up pursuing this matter, otherwise, it is impossible for Your Majesty to make any concessions on this point, because Your Majesty only has me as a support point." ”

Kou Zhuansha smiled bitterly: "What the husband said is very reasonable, but it's a pity that this matter is unreasonable." ”

After talking about it for so long, she still couldn't imagine how to contract a Weihui Mansion.

Guo smiled lightly: "If it is all reasonable, there is nothing to fight for, according to common sense, a child who has no father and no mother, and a poor family cannot marry such a beautiful and shrewd and capable lady." ”

Kou Shusha rolled her eyes slightly.

......

And today, Jin Yiwei suddenly dispatched and directly drove away the officials of the Criminal Department, the reason is very legitimate, you have to have evidence for investigation, the new racecourse has neither breached the contract nor violated the law, why do you not allow people to start construction.

This is really a hornet's nest.

Those officials just want to use this to force Wanli to come out, when you are in charge, you will hold court meetings every day and teach us a lesson, and when you are not in charge, you will hide, which is too shameless.

However, now Wanli is not coming forward, and he also dispatched Jinyi Guard.

Dare to love you Wanli doesn't want to let go of anything, how can there be such a cheap thing in this world.

From the court to Shilin, he frantically attacked Wanli.

Before that, they didn't attack the emperor, they were bashing King Lu, and his minions.

At the same time, under the pretext of reviewing the works, they demanded that financial institutions such as the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Taifu Temple stop allocating funds to almost all the projects related to the imperial family, except for the mausoleum of Wanli.

This makes a lot of sense, there is such a big thing in the project, in order to avoid the same thing from happening, of course it has to be reviewed, this is a normal process, but they are actually forcing Wanli to come forward.

There is such a big thing, and your emperor doesn't even give an explanation, how can this be explained to the people of the world and to the governors of the state capitals.

This time is different from the Cotton Armor case, the Cotton Armor case, they reacted too slowly, and when they came back to their senses, Dongchang and Jinyiwei had already done everything, and they couldn't even find any evidence.

And this time they have conclusive evidence, that is, they want to fight the emperor to the end.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the emperor was a big villain, because civil officials were proud to be degraded, and they were degraded by the emperor, and they were able to gain great prestige among the people.

At the same time, the Ministry of Household and Taifu Temple stopped allocating funds, and the people were also talking about it, and if it continued like this, it would have a great negative impact on Wanli's wallet and prestige.

Under these circumstances, Wanli suddenly announced that tomorrow's noon dynasty would be held as scheduled, and the matter of the Lu Wangfu would be discussed.

The ministers were overjoyed, they finally succeeded in forcing Wanli out of the harem, for them, as long as Wanli came forward, the rest of the things would be easy to do, reasonable, Wanli couldn't talk about them, and they still had evidence.

They also took advantage of this incident to completely suppress Wanli, and they must not let Wanli act arbitrarily again.

Following.

Imperial Palace.

At the beginning of this court meeting, Wanli really didn't even say a word, and the ministers were long guns and short cannons, bombarding indiscriminately.

All the ministers present stood up, but some were more direct, and some were more tactful.

Zhu Yihua was also present, he was scolded so bloody, he himself was a little dizzy, have I done so many bastard things? How I don't know.

Almost half of them were done by his minions or the officials below, and he didn't know about it, because he didn't go, but he took the lion's head, there is no doubt about that.

There are also some people of insight in the court, who also take this opportunity to ask for a reduction in the expenses of the vassal king, the mansion cannot be built so large, and the fields must be given according to the ancestral law.

"How can it be?"

Wanli slapped the table, Long Yan was furious, pointed at Zhu Yihua and said, "King Lu, are they all true?" ”

The minister was stunned, the emperor was actually mad at King Lu, this was the first time.

Could it be that the emperor would rather take the king of Lu and ask him for his guilt than make concessions on the matter of the crown prince?

Zhu Yihua hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty Mingjian, this is their slander against their younger brother. ”

"Now that the evidence is conclusive, where is the slander?"

Jiang Yinglan immediately reprimanded.

Wanli said: "Yes, this evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say." ”

Zhu Yihua said with a disdainful face: "Your Majesty, their evidence is based on the incompetence of those magistrates, and they can't be counted." ”

Wanli was stunned and said, "What do you say?" ”

Zhu Yihua said: "Back to Your Majesty, after hearing about this, the courtiers were also very shocked, so they specially found someone to calculate, and the result turned out to be that with the geographical location and conditions of Weihui Mansion, it is really more than enough to afford a Luwang Mansion, which will not have an impact on the finances, let alone cause public resentment."

This is enough to show that those magistrates usually neglect management, do not govern Weihui Mansion well, and the local finances are already stretched, so that a small Luwang Mansion will crush the finances of the entire Weihui Mansion, not only do they not reflect, but also transfer this burden to the people, so as to arouse public resentment, and they in order to conceal their incompetence, they will all blame the head of the minister, and their hearts can be punished. ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were furious.

Such brazen words, you can say it, and you still have to be shameless.

Zhu Yihua was also flustered by them, and at the same time felt very aggrieved, this is what Guo Dan asked this king to say, this king is not so shameless.

"It makes no sense."

Wang Jiaping couldn't help it, stood up, pointed at King Lu, and reprimanded angrily: "So far, the prince not only does not repent, but also quibbles here, ignores the facts, and reverses black and white, which is really an unforgivable sin." At the beginning, His Majesty had already given extra grace to the Ministry of Household to allocate 600,000 taels to build the Luwang Mansion, but the prince was not satisfied, and ordered the officials of the palace to use the order of the project to plunder money everywhere and force the counties along the way to pay for the project. ”

University scholar Ye Xianggao also stood up and said, "Just a Luwang Mansion? The prince knows that your Lu Wangfu has occupied nearly half of the area of the palace city, and since the founding of the country, no vassal king has ever built a palace of this scale, and the prince is still not satisfied, which is really shameless. ”

Zhu Yihua retorted: "Don't spew blood, many of these things have nothing to do with this king, and this king doesn't know about it, Your Majesty wants to punish them, but this king has not interceded, this king's request is reasonable, and it will not cause harm to Weihui Mansion."

The situation in Weihui Mansion today is caused by the incompetence of the local magistrate. This king has been calculated by someone, and you just heard the words of those county magistrates, if they usually manage it well, this treasury is full, and naturally this situation will not occur. ”

Ye Xianggao was so angry that his hands trembled, "You're really... It's really 'why not eat minced meat'. ”
