"I really didn't expect it!"

As the head of intelligence, Zhang Whale felt that this was unbelievable at this moment: "This matter has developed to such a point. ”

Liu Shouyou also shook his head and said: "The governor is right, I thought that Guo Dan would definitely be in the limelight again, but I didn't expect such a big reversal, as far as I know, many people have said that if they don't get rid of Guo Dan this time, they will never compromise." ”

"Hehe.... If they compromise on this, then they have really been in office for so many years. Zhang Whale smiled coldly.

In fact, those officials can't compromise, they insist on turning white into black, how can this be compromised?

It is precisely because of this that even if Guo Dan wants to make a counterattack, he has to take a step back first, and this step will cause huge losses, but he has no choice.

Liu Shouyou asked again: "Then, according to the opinion of the governor, can Guo Dan turn the danger into a disaster this time." ”

Zhang Whale smiled, shook his head and said: "The current situation is definitely very bad for Guo Dan, and even his life is at stake, but what the final result will be, I am really not sure, after all, Guo Dan has repeatedly escaped death." ”

He couldn't be sure, because no one could control it, and it wasn't who started it.

......

However, so far, the matter has been limited to the royal horse farm, and has not been spread to the people, and even Kou Zhuan Sha has no idea about it.

However, there was one thing that made Kou Zhuansha feel very surprised, that is, Cao Xiaodong suddenly wrote a letter, saying that Weihui Mansion had bought a lot of grain from Guide Mansion to solve the problem of grain prices.

What is the price of food? What is Takfu?

Kou Liansha couldn't understand it very clearly, because this letter was written to Guo Dan, not to her, and she didn't know what was going on here.

However, Guo Dan did not come back!

Kou Zhuansha thought that Guo Dan had gone to the Royal Horse Farm, so he sent Xiao An to inquire.

"It's been two days, why hasn't Xiao An come back yet."

Kou Zhuan Sha paced around the office, looking a little uneasy.

Because generally speaking, if Guo Dan returns to Beijing, even if she goes to the Royal Racecourse, she should receive the news, but this time she doesn't know at all.

There is no news from Aunt Xu on the key point.

It's not that Wanli is more strictly guarded, mainly because Guo Dan went directly to the Royal Racecourse, and it was not the way back to Beijing, nor was it the main road, and Aunt Xu returned to the capital that day It was already night, and that night, Aunt Xu was arrested and taken to the Royal Racecourse.

What's more critical is that no one thought at that time that Guo Dan would come back so soon, and the people in Dongchang didn't pay much attention to it.

"Miss, Xiao An is back."

Xin'er trotted in, panting and saying to Kou Zhuansha.

"Let him in."

"Yes."

"Miss."

Xiao An walked in and bowed respectfully.

"Xiao An, why have you been here for so long? Did my uncle come back? ”

Kou Zhuisa asked hurriedly.

Xiao An blinked and remained silent.

Kou Liansha hurriedly said: "You are talking!" ”

Xiao An looked back at the open door.

Kou Zhuansha's heart suddenly sank, if something really happened, she immediately ordered Xin'er to go out and close the door.

After they closed it, Xiao An said: "Miss, my uncle is at the Royal Horse Farm at this time, but my uncle can't come out now, my uncle just gave this letter to the eldest lady." ”

As he spoke, he handed over a letter.

Why can't I get out? Kou Zhuansha hurriedly took the letter, opened it and looked at it, and after a while, she couldn't help but open her eyes: "This... How is this possible? ”

Xiao An said: "Miss, my uncle also asked me to give a word to Miss." ”

Kou Zhuisa asked, "What words?" ”

Xiao An said: "Uncle said, whether the eldest lady agrees or not, but now you must do what the letter says, and quickly, he will come back in a few days." ”

Kou Liansha took two steps back, slumped in her chair, and muttered, "How can this be? ”

.....

Royal Stud Farm.

I saw that the meeting in that corridor was full of people, basically all the ministers here were sitting inside, and Guo Dan, who had not appeared for a long time, was also present, but he was standing aside.

The atmosphere is very subtle.

Because there was no one to speak.

All of them looked very solemn.

Guo Dan suddenly appeared here, which shows that Wanli wants to make a decision on this matter.

But no one feels like they have a win.

After all, this pair of emperors and merchants have performed countless miracles and countless times, and when they thought they had a chance to win, they were very disappointed.

They didn't dare to be careless this time.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard at the end of the corridor, and the ministers got up one after another.

Then it was not Wanli who appeared at the end of the corridor, and no one shouted "The emperor has arrived", but Zhang Whale, Zhang Cheng, and Song Qi, the head of the household.

What about Your Majesty?

The ministers were suddenly a little confused.

Because it was Wanli who summoned them to the meeting, but Wanli did not appear.

"Guys, don't stand, sit."

Zhang Cheng pressed down on his hand.

"Prime Minister, why don't you see Your Majesty?"

Yang Mingshen asked.

Zhang Cheng said: "Your Majesty is a little unwell, so he has already returned to the palace. ”

"Huh?"

The ministers looked at each other for a moment.

Let's have a meeting, but he himself went back, is this a Hongmen feast?

What about the legendary axeman?

Guo Dan, who was standing behind, couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this fat house is really righteous, when he was in the limelight, he stood alone in the hall to show his might, when it was embarrassing, you ran away first.

"But regarding the matter of Guide House, His Majesty has already made a decision." Zhang Cheng said again.

At this time, Zhang Whale glanced at Guo Dan.

Guo Dan immediately squeezed out a smile.

"I wonder how His Majesty decided?"

Yang Mingshen hurriedly asked.

"Let's sit down and talk."

Zhang Cheng stretched out his hand again.

The ministers sat down one after another.

Zhang Cheng said to Zhang Whale again: "Governor, please take a seat." ”

"You may be seated."

Although Zhang Whale's power is greater than that of Zhang Cheng, nominally, the celebrant is still the first.

If the emperor doesn't come out, the main thing is to preside over the meeting.

It can be seen that Wanli let Guo Dan enter the palace cleanly, and he was definitely good to him from the bottom of his heart.

Zhang Cheng said: "Regarding the unfavorable situation of the disaster relief in Guide Mansion, Your Majesty also read the recitals that you and many local officials came up, and I think what you said is reasonable. ”

All makes sense?

Does this also include Wang Xijue?

Li Zhi immediately got up and said, "The prime minister ......!" ”

"Li Yushi, you sit down first."

Zhang Cheng hurriedly pointed at Li Zhi and said, "Our family is a messenger, what do you want to be dissatisfied, don't come to our family, it's useless to tell our family, you have to tell Your Majesty." ”

Li Zhi sat back with an embarrassed expression.

Zhang Cheng continued: "First of all, regarding the impeachment of Li Weien, the prefect of the Guide Prefecture, Your Majesty believes that Scholar Wang is not wrong. ”

In the middle of his sentence, he pointed to the officials who were about to move.

The officials could only hold back.

Zhang Cheng continued: "Based on the concerts of other ministers, it is certain that Li Weien did issue those two decrees, which caused the disaster situation in Guide Mansion to get out of control, and Scholar Wang was not wrong.

However, judging from the concerts of other officials in Henan Province, Li Weien did have difficulties, because Kaifeng Prefecture raised grain prices, which led to the influx of grain from Guide Mansion into Kaifeng Mansion and Weihui Mansion, which did bring a lot of trouble to Guide Mansion.

However, according to Jiang's statement, Guo Dan's policy did make Kaifeng Mansion settle down in a short period of time, and he saved many people, and there is no clear evidence to prove that Guo Dan intended to destroy the disaster relief in Guide Mansion."

When the ministers heard this, they immediately panicked, Guo Dan is right, it is our fault, I want to say a few words, Zhang Cheng's eyes seem to tell them, you have to interrupt our family again, our family will not hold this meeting.

Endure!

Wait until he's done.

Zhang Cheng said: "Your Majesty very much agrees with the statement of the political envoy of Henan Province, who believes that the rebellion of the Guide Mansion is attributed to the fact that the imperial court contracted the four mansions to Guo Dan and did not belong to the control of the imperial court, which led to the inability of the political secretary to make unified arrangements and coordination. After careful consideration, His Majesty decided to terminate the contract with Guo Dan and take back the four mansions from Guo Dan. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers couldn't help but be overjoyed, and tears were about to flow out.

This happiness came so quickly, they were not prepared at all!

Shen Shixing was also slightly surprised, and then sighed secretly in his heart.

He didn't know in advance how Wanli decided.

Only Guo Dan was present who knew.

Li Zhi waited for a while, and seeing that Zhang Cheng did not continue, he said: "Prime minister, since it has been proved that Guo Dan's contract with the four mansions is wrong, he should be held responsible." ”

Many ministers immediately nodded in agreement.

This must be pursued while the victory is won!

Zhang Cheng said: "Your Majesty means that when Guo Dan contracted the four mansions, it was the imperial court that agreed, but it was not Guo Dan who forced the imperial court to contract the four mansions to him, if you want to be held responsible, you should also be held accountable for the imperial court, so Your Majesty decided not to hold anyone accountable for this disaster relief." ”

Yang Ming said deeply: "That... Is the horse farm going to be taken back? ”

Zhang Cheng was stunned and said: "Your Majesty didn't say it, I don't know what this horse farm has to do with this disaster relief?" ”

“......！”

Yang Ming was silent.

Wanli's meaning is very obvious, the fault is on the contracting of the state capital, not on Guo Dan, not on Guo Dan's personal responsibility, since he does not pursue Guo Dan's personal responsibility, Guo Dan's other businesses will not be able to move!

But Yang Mingshen and they hope to hold Guo Dan personally responsible and let him carry it all alone.

People are greedy, and they won't stop there.

They hope to destroy Guo Dan physically, and never suffer in the future, this kid is too terrifying, which businessman has ever done this, the key is that he can still make a good appearance.

Zhang Cheng looked at them and said, "Your Majesty said, if you don't agree, then let's talk about it in a few months." ”

"In a few months?"

Li Zhi was surprised.

Zhang Cheng nodded and said, "There have been too many things recently, Your Majesty is also exhausted and unwell, Your Majesty has issued an order to cancel the large and small court meetings in the next three months." ”

The meaning is very obvious, no matter what, this is my bottom line, if you want to hold Guo Dan personally responsible, then I will never agree.

Wanli's trick, they have already seen it, that is, hiding in the palace, no one can see it, since it can't be handled, then don't deal with it, the original canonization of the imperial concubine, that's how it was laid.

But if it is not dealt with, it means that these four mansions are still in Guo Dan's hands.

You must know that not every official who opposes Guo Dan wants Guo Dan to die, in fact, they are also very scared in their hearts, and now the emperor has taken the initiative to give in, take back the four mansions, and do not pursue any responsibility for winning people, this condition, most local officials, including some officials in the court, are acceptable.

If the whole thing continues to drag on because they don't agree, there are variables in this delay, and many officials may turn against each other.

They are not stupid, if Wanli really wants to play scoundrels, they have no way at all.

So all the ministers present expressed their support.
