The battle for the country.

Guo Dan once knew such a thing in the history books, but he couldn't understand why such a small thing would cause so much harm to the Ming Dynasty, and even indirectly lead to the demise of the entire Ming Dynasty.

It's a short passage in the history books.

But now he finally understood.

In fact, behind his development, there is also a shadow of the struggle for the country.

The first time he saw Wanli, it was because Wanli wanted to make Zheng Guifei the imperial concubine.

Judging from the current situation, this is a protracted rally, and it is a race in which no one wants to admit defeat, whether it is the emperor or the minister, as long as there is an opportunity, they will try their best to push the matter to their desired result.

It is embodied in all aspects.

And in this matter, everything has to make way for it.

As a result, many problems cannot be solved.

It is because this core problem has not been solved.

Guo Dan only intervened once or twice, and he already felt physically and mentally exhausted, so it is not difficult to understand why Wanli would no longer go to court because of this matter.

This is the result when family and state affairs are mixed up.

You treat it as a private matter, but others treat it as a public matter, and you can't talk about it.

After coming out of Wanli's office, Guo Dan also calmed down, whether he wanted it or not, Princess Yongning's mess, he must follow, and it was difficult for Aunt Xu to help him in this matter, so he could only figure out a way by himself.

"This matter is already very complicated, I can't think about it more complicated, it must be simplified, otherwise, my brain is really not enough."

Guo Dan muttered as he walked towards his residence: "Don't care about the queen mother and the emperor, don't care about the country, rumors, widows, the problem now is that Princess Yongning is looking for death, why is she looking for death, it is because she is unhappy, I just need to find a way to make her happy, it's as simple as that, no matter how much I can't do." ”

"Ahem, ahem!"

A cough interrupted Guo Dan's thoughts.

Guo Dan looked up and saw an old man standing on the grass on the side, looking at him expressionlessly, "Uncle? ”

It was Xu Mengxi.

But his tone seemed a little surprised, because Xu Mengxuan had always been very deliberate to keep his distance from him, and it was precisely because of this that he finally got rid of the role set by Guo Dan for him --- backstabbing man.

This old man is really a goblin.

Therefore, when Guo Dan saw that Xu Mengxi did not avoid him, he was very surprised.

Xu Mengxi glanced at him lightly, and said with a slight smile: "You are really my busy man now!" ”

Guo Dan stepped forward and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, this is all your blessing, Uncle To!" ”

Xu Mengxuan nodded: "Yes!" The old man now understands what you mean by 'awakening a demon'. ”

Guo Dan was surprised: "Uncle still remembers!" ”

"Your words have been lingering in the old man's ears all these years." Xu Mengxi said with emotion.

Guo smiled lightly: "Uncle regretted it? ”

"This is probably the most regrettable thing the old man has done in his life." Xu Mengxuan said unabashedly.

Guo smiled lightly: "But it's late." ”

"Yes! It's late. Xu Mengxuan nodded, and suddenly asked, "You invited the little girl here?" ”

Guo Dan was surprised: "Uncle's caution is so well-informed. ”

Xu Mengxi said: "Is it because of Princess Yongning?" ”

"Hmm."

"The old man doesn't care about you for this other matter, but the old man doesn't want the little girl to get involved in this matter."

Xu Mengxuan said with a solemn face.

The old man really saw it, and indeed, it was more difficult than anything else. Guo smiled lightly.

Xu Mengxi frowned and said, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Guo smiled lightly: "According to normal people, uncle should go to his daughter to talk, not to an outsider." ”

Xu Mengxi snorted: "It's not normal for you to scold the old man." ”

Guo smiled lightly: "I only know that if I have a talented and beautiful daughter like a layman, I am afraid that I will hide in the quilt all day long and laugh, uncle, you are good, go outside directly." ”

"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense here." Xu Mengxuan frowned.

Guo Dan said: "I understand, how can I not understand, it's just because she is a daughter, and she can't spread the branches for your Xu family." ”

Xu Mengxi asked, "This is what she told you." ”

Guo Dan said: "This is something that can be seen with the naked eye, uncle, your attitude towards the little uncle and your attitude towards the layman is really a world of difference!" ”

Xu Mengxi sneered: "It is a matter of course for this man to marry a wife and a woman to marry, the old man worked hard to choose a son-in-law, and later, the old man even compromised to let her choose by herself, she refused to marry, but it became the old man's fault, this is really a big joke." ”

"But why doesn't the layman want to marry?" Guo asked with a smile.

"That's because...?"

Xu Mengxi suddenly glanced at Guo Dan suspiciously, and said, "Why do you care so much about the little girl?" ”

Guo Dan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I know the layman, I want to help her, is there anything wrong with this?" ”

Xu Mengxi said: "The little girl knows a lot of people, many of them are close friends of the old man, but no one has ever made a special trip to teach the old man for the little girl, you are the first." ”

Speaking of this, he took a breath of cold air, "Speaking of which, the old man has always wondered very much, the little girl has always been arrogant, how could she agree to help you as a businessman, this is ......!" ”

Guo Dan hurriedly said: "Hey, hey, uncle, don't think about it, I and the layman are absolutely innocent." ”

"The old man didn't say that you weren't innocent, why are you so nervous?"

Xu Mengxi looked Guo Dan up and down with cautious eyes, and said in his heart, this kid is flamboyant and good at scheming, it is not that the little girl has fallen in love with her, this is not good. He pointed at Guo Dan and said: "Na Na Na, the old man warns you, don't do anything bad, she doesn't want this face, the old man wants face, you are just a son-in-law, if you have anything to do with the little girl, my old Xu family's face doesn't know where to put it." ”

"Wow! Uncle, you .....! ”

Guo Dan suddenly had an idea, and a professional term suddenly popped up in his mind to --- 'hunger marketing', what commodity is the most valuable, that is, the commodity that someone robs, if the world goes to rob, is more expensive than gold, not to mention a stunning beauty, and then smiled: "Uncle, you say this, don't you know, it's because of me, my son-in-law is now a compliment, with my current status and net worth, it's not unworthy of your Xu family." ”

Xu Mengxi was shocked and said, "Are you really already?" ”

"Of course not."

Guo Dan muttered in a low voice: "Ling Yan is not so easy to pursue. ”

Xu Menghui heard it clearly, oops! It's not good, this kid really had bad thoughts, his eyes widened, and he threatened: "Guo Dan, the old man warns you, if you dare to disgrace my Xu family, the old man will fight with you." ”

Can you fight it? No, he still has a little uncle, my son is still a baby, count as a bird, you are ruthless enough. Guo Dan rolled his eyes and said: "Uncle, I am innocent with Ling Yan, yes, I don't deny it, with Ling Yan's posture and talent, any healthy man will be tempted by it, but I will restrain myself, uncle, you can rest assured." ”

Feel relieved? Since you kid has moved this mind, how can the old man rest assured.

As a person who came over, Xu Mengxi naturally knew that Guo Dan's nonsense could not be believed, and he was full of regret in his heart, the old man only cared about finding out the purpose of Feng'er staying by Guo Dan's side, but he ignored that Guo Dan's kid was a toothless hungry wolf, this is not good, the old man must not let this kid succeed, otherwise, our Xu family may not be able to raise their heads and be human beings in the future.

He has always longed for Aunt Xu to get married, this is the destination that a woman should have, not to mention rich and poor, but at least the other party must also be a pure white family, Guo Dan is definitely not good, he is a son-in-law and has a wife, should he let Aunt Xu be a concubine.

To be a concubine for a son-in-law?

If this is the case, he would really rather strangle Aunt Xu than let this happen, because this is absolutely unacceptable in the Ming Dynasty.

......

Over there, Aunt Xu had been waiting for Guo Dan to come back, but seeing that Guo Dan had been precious for a long time, and today she was a little tired, so she went back to the house to rest, but she fell asleep when she lay down, and when she woke up, she found that it was already dark.

"Whoa—whoa!"

Suddenly, I heard a faint sound of water downstairs.

Although the surroundings were very quiet, Aunt Xu was bold and not afraid at all, and went downstairs, and by the candlelight on the corridor, she faintly saw an almost naked figure swimming around in the water.

She quickly turned around and prepared to go back to the house.

"Layman!"

Guo Dan's voice came from behind.

"Sorry, I didn't know you were ......!"

"It's okay."

Guo smiled lightly: "I don't mind." ”

You don't mind, I do!

Aunt Xu didn't want to talk to him at this time.

Guo Dan continued: "I saw my uncle before. ”

Aunt Xu immediately stopped her steps.

Guo said lightly: "Uncle hopes that I can persuade you to go home and live." ”

Aunt Xu suddenly turned around and saw Guo Dan lying on the edge of the pool, but she didn't have time to scruple so much, and said angrily: "I told you not to meddle in your affairs, why don't you listen." ”

Guo Dan hurriedly said: "Layman, this is really wronged, I didn't say anything, it was the uncle who took the initiative to find me, I just came out of Your Majesty at the time, how can I have the heart to take care of your affairs." ”

When Aunt Xu heard this, her expression softened a little, and she suddenly asked, "Did my father ask you about Princess Yongning?" ”

What a quick response! But you guessed wrong, Uncle won't beg you to go home for this. Guo Dan nodded and said, "I asked two questions." ”

Aunt Xu pondered a little and said, "You seem to have a very pleasant conversation with Your Majesty. ”

Guo smiled lightly: "It's not very pleasant, but I've figured it out." ”

Aunt Xu gave two puzzled looks.

Guo Dan said: "The problem now is that Princess Yongning is unhappy, my task is to make Princess Yongning happy, it's that simple, I don't want to make this matter more complicated." ”

"It's a good idea."

Aunt Xu asked, "But how do you make Princess Yongning happy?" ”

"I haven't thought of it yet." Guo smiled lightly: "But I would rather face Princess Yongning than the Queen Mother or the Emperor." ”
