Back to Beijing on the same day? ”

Guo Dan looked at Gao Shang in surprise.

Gao Shang said: "Yes! I have just received an order from Your Majesty, but Guo Dan, Your Majesty is in a hurry to call you back, there must be something, you should hurry up and prepare. ”

Guo Dan asked: "In other words, my father-in-law doesn't know why?" ”

Gao Shang nodded and said, "Your Majesty's dictation did not mention it. ”

Guo Dan couldn't help frowning, thinking to himself, this holy decree really didn't come at the right time.

Now that he is in the final stage, he still has to arrange the future economic development of Kaifeng Mansion, otherwise, he will have already returned to Beijing when Kou Yi sends the family letter.

"Tomorrow. Tomorrow I will leave for Beijing immediately. Guo Dan thought for a while, and said to Gao Shang.

"Tomorrow?"

Gao Shang seemed a little hesitant, because Wanli asked him to return to Beijing on the same day, but he also knew that Guo Dan was not easy, so he just came over, nodded and said, "Okay, you have to leave early tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes."

After Gao Shang left, Guo Dan rubbed his eyes in distress and said to himself: "It's really a plan that can't catch up with the changes!" ”

As he spoke, he looked at Xu Wei again and said, "Old man, I'm afraid that I won't be able to get drunk with the old man today." ”

"It's a long time coming." Xu Wei smiled disappreciatively.

"Yes, it's a long time coming."

Guo nodded with a smile, and said to Li Shizhen: "Doctor Li, fortunately you are here, regarding the matter of the medical school, you may have to trouble Dr. Li to bear more." ”

Li Shizhen smiled and nodded.

Guo glanced at Aunt Xu, snorted, and looked a little hesitant.

He originally wanted to leave Aunt Xu here to preside over the overall situation, but he didn't know what the situation was in the capital, and of course he was more important than himself.

Xu Wei saw it in his eyes, knowing Guo Dan's concerns, and suddenly said: "Guo Dan, if you are at ease with the old man, the old man is here to help you watch." ”

"Old gentleman?"

Guo Dan looked at Xu Wei with surprise.

Xu Wei stroked his beard and smiled: "Although the old man is old, the old man can still handle this Xiao Gui Cao." ”

This is nothing more than telling Guo Dan, don't worry, I won't mess around, everything is still based on your plan, I'm just watching.

"Thank you, old man, for your generosity."

Guo Dan immediately bowed.

Although Xu Wei is crazy, Guo Dan knows that a conceited genius like him, if he is not sure, he will never open this mouth, and since he has opened this mouth, he will definitely do a good job.

With the help of Xu Wei and Li Shizhen, Guo Dan suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

A few people sat down in the hall, and Guo Dan first explained to Li Shizhen about the recruitment of teachers in the medical school, and about this matter, he really had to be an experienced medical scientist like Li Shizhen.

Because the recruitment of teachers in medical schools is not examined, mainly to look at medical records and interviews, Guo Dan does not know much about these.

Guo Dan decided to let Li Shizhen take Lang Zhong from the Zhou Wangfu to preside over this matter.

And Xu Wei is in charge of the academy.

After Xu Wei and Li Shizhen said goodbye, Guo Dan called Chenchen and Cao Xiaodong again and told them some things about enrollment and trading.

Three watches.

"You've already told you everything?" Aunt Xu came to the hall, looked at Guo Dan, who was slightly tired, and asked.

Guo Dan smiled bitterly: "I must not have finished telling it yet, after all, in such a short time, where can I think about it thoroughly." As he spoke, he asked Aunt Xu again, "Have you guessed what happened in the capital?" ”

"I've been thinking about this a long time."

Aunt Xu said: "I think it may have something to do with what you did in Kaifeng Mansion, because counting the days, Jiang Yinglan's recital should have arrived in the capital, and for other things, Your Majesty will not immediately summon you to the palace." ”

Guo Dan frowned and said: "But I asked myself about those remarks, and there were no mistakes or omissions." ”

Aunt Xu said: "This desire to add to the crime, there is no excuse." ”

"That's right, this is also my deepest impression of the imperial court." Guo Dan shook his head with a wry smile.

Early the next morning, Guo Dan immediately set off to return to Beijing.

The only good thing is that Kaifeng is not too far from the capital, and the roads are very smooth, and with the rise of commerce, traffic measures are also becoming more and more perfect.

After half a month, he finally arrived in the capital, and as before, Guo Dan had just arrived in front of the city gate, and was given to the palace by the eunuch waiting there.

Qianqing Palace.

"See Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live."

"Excuse me! Excuse me! ”

Wanli waved his hand weakly.

Guo Dan raised his head, and his expression immediately froze.

Wanli also noticed his strange little eyes, "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”

Guo Dan was stunned for a moment, and said: "Dare to ask, Your Majesty has been going to beat pills every day recently?" ”

Wanli blinked and said, "Where did you start with this?" ”

Guo Dan said: "I just feel that I am lowly... Think Your Majesty seems to have lost a lot? ”

Seeing Wanli this time, he felt that this fat house had lost a lot of weight, could it be that he was desperately trying to lose weight this summer, which is a good thing.

Wanli was stunned, and then said angrily: "It's not all your fault. ”

"Blame... Blame me? ”

Guo Dan looked confused.

Wanli was immediately furious: "Of course it's all your fault, if you weren't talking nonsense in Kaifeng, saying that I want to work hard, how could I be tortured so badly by them, I'm really angry." ”

Guo Dan heard it in a fog, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, don't you want to work hard?" ”

"I'm ......!"

Wanli opened his mouth, his eyes gradually moving upward.

The air seemed to freeze.

Guo Dan stared at Wanli without blinking.

I don't know how long it has been .......

Wanli suddenly coughed lightly and said, "Of course I want to work hard, but... But it is not to watch the ministers quarrel every day. ”

The more Guo Dan listened, the more confused he became, "I don't understand very well. ”

Wanli slapped the table and said in annoyance: "I didn't expect that things would come to this point. ”

He told Guo Dan the reason.

It turned out that all this had to start with the day he "went to the crown to rule".

There are three main reasons for his purpose in holding that court, first, to find this reason for not wearing a crown, because his neck is relatively fragile.

Secondly, to warn the minister not to talk to him every day, he is annoying, which is also the most important point.

Finally, by the way, I would like to express my support for Guo Dan.

It's just an excuse.

He didn't have a clue how to work hard.

However, his acting skills are a little too realistic, so that others take it seriously.

Especially with Wang Jiaping and Wang Xijue, they felt that Wanli was determined to work hard this time, and they were so excited that they couldn't sleep that day.

Moreover, they also feel that Wanli has a point, we don't talk about virtue, virtue is basic, we stand here, that is a virtuous person, we will talk about governance.

First of all, they demanded that a court meeting be held every day to discuss major state affairs.

Wanli was immediately depressed.

He didn't expect Wang Jiaping to be so serious.

Words such as "make great efforts" are just a mantra for the emperor.

But the words have been spoken, Wanli is not easy to refuse, since he wants to work hard, then he can always lead by example, if he still hides in the harem every day to eat, drink and have fun, he will be scolded to death by the ministers.

Wanli is difficult to ride a tiger, after thinking about it, he thinks that as long as you don't preach to me every day, if you really talk about national affairs, then it doesn't hurt to open up, you can make great efforts, revitalize the Ming Dynasty, and be famous for eternity, that is the best.

As a result, there was a problem at this opening.

Because in order to make great efforts, we must first solve the problems of the moment, and the reason why these problems exist is because the old system simply cannot solve these problems, then the only way is to reform.

The reformers, led by Wang Jiaping and Wang Xijue, began to propose reforms.

In fact, they have long been ready to move, especially after Guo Dan appeared, which greatly stimulated them, are we not even as good as a businessman?

But they didn't know what to do before, so they could only watch Guo pretend to be forced.

But.......

Reform again?

Zhang Juzheng's bones are not cold, so you want to reform again?

Have you forgotten how our comrades died tragically under Zhang Juzheng's butcher's knife?

Many ministers in the DPRK and China already have a sense of fear of reform.

Conservatives are vehemently opposed.

It just can't be changed.

This directly detonated the old and new party struggles such as those in the Northern Song Dynasty.

But there is one thing that is very different.

At that time, Song Shenzong was young and vigorous, he wanted to make a difference, and he was sparing no effort to promote reform, but although Wanli was also very young, he was already an old driver, and his heart was exhausted.

But he was not determined to reform.

Now that the DPRK and China are in competition between the two parties, they are evenly matched, and whichever faction your emperor favors, that faction will definitely gain the upper hand.

If your emperor is silent, he does not take a stand.

The result is a daily quarrel between the two sides.

Wanli watched them quarrel every day, and his heart was always left and right.

Of course, Wanli will not say that he is indecisive and lazy, he threw all the pots to the minister and Guo Dan, first of all, you Guo Dan, said that I worked hard, and I went to Guan Tuzhi in order to support you, and the result was good, and he directly split the court.

They quarrel every day for their own selfish desires, how can I try to govern.

Although this was an excuse for Wanli, it was indeed the most far-reaching influence that Zhang Juzheng left to the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Juzheng's reforms had a great impact on the entire bureaucracy.

They were all afraid.

Since Zhang Juzheng, the Ming Dynasty basically has no reform plans, as for the later Wei Zhongxian, Tianqi, Chongzhen, that is all a power struggle, and it has nothing to do with reform, in fact, at their level, let them change, they can't change.

Wanli doesn't have the courage of Taizu and Chengzu, he can't hold it down at all.

As long as you talk about reform, the noise will be turned upside down, so basically I don't care about it in the late Wanli period, I will do my own business, you have to play, and we will not violate the river water.

Guo Dan understood when he heard it, but he couldn't figure it out, "Your Majesty, there is no way to solve such a thing, and the lowly position is just a nominal brocade guard." ”

There is such a thing as a court struggle, why are you calling me back, is it uncomfortable to stay in Kaifeng Mansion to make money?

If you just throw the pot at me, I can't afford to carry it!

"Don't worry, and listen to me."

Wanli said: "About a month ago, this matter took a turn for the better, mainly because Song Jingsheng, the head of the household department, proposed to reform the tariffs. ”

"Reform tariffs?"

Guo Dan blinked and said, "Your Majesty, did he say that he would avoid the cheap goods of Weihui Mansion from pouring into other places, hurting the small workshops in various places, and Weihui Mansion buying grain on a large scale, which would make the price of grain in other state capitals rise, so he proposed tariff reform." ”

Wanli was surprised: "How do you know? ”

Guo Dan said: "Your Majesty, this is a lowly pot, hehe, because this is the lowly arrangement." ”
