Chapter 676: It's Too Hard

"Kunimoto?"

Guo Dan was stunned for a moment, and then said curiously: "What does this have to do with Your Majesty's establishment of the crown prince?" ”

In his opinion, these two things have nothing to do with each other!

Aunt Xu asked, "You should know about the battle between the princes in front of you?" ”

Guo Dan nodded and said: "Of course I know this, in fact, I have always tried my best to stay away from this matter, it is a pit, and whoever jumps down will die without a place to be buried." ”

"Now it seems that if you want to stay away, it is very rare." Aunt Xu smiled and shook her head.

"What do you mean by that?" Guo Dan said curiously.

Aunt Xu didn't answer and asked, "Do you know why there is this dispute between the princes?" ”

Guo Dan said very cautiously: "This is mainly because the ministers speculate that Your Majesty may intend to abolish the elder and establish the young, because Your Majesty has not established the prince for a long time, so there is a dispute over the prince." ”

"The key is that this waste grows and grows young." Aunt Xu said: "This has nothing to do with the law, only about the etiquette system, from the perspective of the etiquette system, the meaning of abolishing the eldest and the youngest and remarrying the widow or tearing up the marriage contract is actually the same, and it is not tolerated by the world." ”

Guo took a breath of cold air and said, "What does the layman mean is that His Majesty wants to use the princess to attack the etiquette system?" ”

"I think it's likely."

Aunt Xu nodded and said, "Otherwise, it won't explain why Your Majesty did this." ”

Guo Dan wanted to cry without tears and said: "Maybe Your Majesty is just for the good of the princess." ”

Aunt Xu asked, "You mean, the Queen Mother is not for the good of the princess?" ”

Guo Dan was silent.

Aunt Xu continued: "If you can really make Princess Yongning free and recognized by the world, it is indeed a good thing for Princess Yongning, but if you can't do it, or if there is any accident in the middle, it will only be worse for Princess Yongning."

Therefore, it is very likely that His Majesty is trying to use this matter to impact the etiquette system. His Majesty had tried many times before, but they all ended in failure. And rashly use the national capital to provoke disputes, the consequences are very serious, even His Majesty may not be able to bear it, and may even force His Majesty to have no way out, but if you use the princess to try, the consequences will be much smaller, and both sides have room for maneuver. ”

Guo Dan smiled bitterly: "They are all His Majesty's sons, is it really that important?" ”

Obviously, he accepted Aunt Xu's statement, because Wanli was in a hurry to summon him back and specifically talked about this matter, which shows that the meaning behind it is not so simple, and he is also very puzzled by this.

Now he finally understood.

Aunt Xu said: "It is precisely because they are all sons of His Majesty that His Majesty thinks that he should be able to call the shots." ”

Guo Dan nodded.

The question is still that question, it's who has the final say.

Wanli wants to be his own Wanli, not the Wanli in the hearts of the ministers.

This is the core reason for the struggle for national capital.

Feelings, that only play a catalytic role.

Guo Dan rubbed his forehead and said: "This is a very headache, since the Queen Mother refused, it can be seen that the Queen Mother is very likely to perceive His Majesty's intentions, if I agree, I am destined to be no one on both sides, and the key is that the Queen Mother is not easy to provoke." ”

Aunt Xu said: "You should have refused at that time." ”

Guo Dan said depressedly: "Do you think I don't want to refuse? But the problem is that in order to persuade the Queen Mother and His Majesty to adopt my method, I promised that if I did this, I could remove the burden from Princess Yongning's shoulders and make Princess Yongning happy, and Your Majesty is now just letting me fulfill my promise.

Oh, I didn't say it was a dissolution, but... But that's Your Majesty, he wants to think so, that's what it is. ”

He shrugged his shoulders and said with tears in his eyes: "The most unfair thing God has done to human beings is to complain that it can't solve any problems, otherwise, everyone will be happy." Therefore, the layman thought that what was needed to dissolve the marriage contract. ”

"In fact, as long as both families agree, the marriage contract can be dissolved, and now the Liang family has long disappeared, as long as the queen mother says a word, the marriage contract can be dissolved."

Aunt Xu said: "But the problem is that the queen mother can't do this, because the imperial court has always encouraged widows to keep their husbands chaste and exempt some taxes, so as a royal family, they should set an example, and there is no difference between dissolving the marriage contract and remarrying a widow, in other words, the biggest obstacle to the dissolution of the marriage contract is actually that the royal family will not do this." ”

Bang Bang Bang!

Guo Dan applauded and said, "Wonderful! Wonderful! Your Majesty is really good at asking questions! Ha ha! ”

He smiled genuinely.

After doing it for a long time, it turned out that what I had to deal with was His Majesty and the Queen Mother, and it was really a dog.

It's not that princesses can't remarry, the law also allows widows to remarry, which is morally impermissible, and the royal family also strongly advocates widow chastity.

The royal can't slap himself in the face!

If the royal princess dissolves the marriage because her husband is dead, then the people will definitely not listen to you anymore, and the ministers will definitely oppose it.

In other words, if you want the princess to remarry, you have to reverse the entire moral outlook and gain a public opinion base.

The royal family was able to loosen this mouthful.

If this can be reversed, then of course it can be established.

It is simply difficult to reverse the moral outlook of the entire era!

Aunt Xu said suddenly: "But there was a person who ordered all widows to remarry. ”

Guo Dan hurriedly asked, "I don't know which fierce man it is?" ”

Aunt Xu said with a smile: "It's the great eunuch Liu Jin, and there are financial reasons in this." ”

Finance? Isn't that my advantage? Guo Dan's face was overjoyed, but he immediately wondered: "This widow can still affect the finances?" ”

Aunt Xu said: "I just said that if there is a widow in the family to keep her chastity, the court will exempt some taxes, and many people have prevented the widow in the family from remarrying, and even directly forced the widow to die, so Liu Jin aimed at this at that time and ordered all widows to remarry." ”

"Must remarry? Wow... How else can it be done? Guo Dan was dumbfounded when he heard it, if he was not allowed to marry, if he wanted to marry, he said that he had a good idea of moderation, and asked anxiously: "What is the final result?" ”

Aunt Xu said: "Of course, it ended in failure, but this decree is only an insignificant one in Liu Jin's reform, and it is not the main reason for failure." ”

Guo Dan glanced at Aunt Xu slightly, knowing that this woman wanted to lead him to financial reform again, but he didn't want to engage in reform, that was not his strong point, and it was too risky, so it was not fragrant to earn foreign exchange.

"This is the operation of the eunuch, I am a sound person, and I can't operate it." Guo Dan shook his head and said.

For this reason, Aunt Xu didn't know what to say.

Guo Dan continued: "Besides, Your Majesty just asked me to find a way to dissolve the marriage contract with the Liang family, not to let Princess Yongning remarry. ”

Aunt Xu said: "But this is even more difficult, remarriage is to recognize the previous husband, dissolve the marriage contract, and even the previous husband's family denies it, which is even more unkind, not to mention whether the Queen Mother will agree, all the ministers will resolutely oppose it." ”

Guo sighed: "Yes! Remarriage can be said to be excusable, and the marriage contract is directly dissolved, and it is when the Liang family has completely disappeared, which is equivalent to digging a pit to bury yourself. ”

He glanced at Aunt Xu again, but Aunt Xu also looked helpless, if she had a way, she would be trapped inside.

"It's not a rush anyway, just think about it slowly."

Guo Dan rubbed his face very depressedly.

At this moment, Grandpa Chen suddenly came.

The Queen Mother is invited.

Oops! How did you forget this stubble? Guo Dan was really about to cry, and immediately handed Aunt Xu two eyes for help.

The Queen Mother will definitely ask him if the emperor has secretly ordered anything.

How is this going on?

Aunt Xu said in a low voice: "The Queen Mother is so smart, even if you don't tell the truth, she can guess, and the Queen Mother is reasonable and will understand you." ”

"I hope you're right."

Saying that, Guo Dan followed Gonggong Chen to the Pure Heart Temple.

"Grass people Guo Dan see the Queen Mother"

"Hurry up and excuse me."

Mrs. Li smiled kindly, "The old body really didn't believe in the wrong person, you did a very good job in this matter, and the old body is also very satisfied with this." Oh, the emperor must have praised you a lot. ”

Guo Dan hurriedly said: "This disaster was caused by the grass people, how dare the grass people ask for credit." ”

"You can't say that, if you hadn't rescued her in time, I'm afraid that Yongning would have ...... Alas, thinking about the old body makes me feel palpitations! ”

"The Queen Mother has to pay attention to her body." Guo Dan said with a flattering face.

"Thank you for your concern." Empress Dowager Li nodded and asked again, "Then what are you going to do next?" ”

"What's next?"

Guo said lightly: "This... Next, the grass people felt that they should care more about the princess and not let those remarks from the outside world affect the princess, although their remarks will not have any impact on the royal family, but they may still irritate the princess. ”

"Well, you've thought it through."

Empress Dowager Li nodded, and then asked, "That means that your plan ends here?" ”

You're obviously setting me up, I'm going to stop here, I'll take action again in the future, you can't trouble me!

Guo Danke is the most annoying to deal with this kind of thing.

Empress Dowager Li saw that he was entangled and silent, so she asked, "What?" What's next for you? Or did the emperor tell you something? ”

"Nope!"

Guo Dan shook his head aggrievedly and said, "Your Majesty has not instructed the grass people to do anything. ”

Tears were rolling in my eyes.

Everyone knows he's lying.

What's more, it was the smart Empress Dowager Li, when she saw Guo Dan's aggrieved appearance, she didn't know his intentions, and couldn't help frowning slightly and muttering.

Guo Dan panicked.

Queen Mother, although my mouth is lying, but my eyes are sincere, I really don't want to hide it from you, but I can't help but hide it from you!

After a while, Empress Dowager Li suddenly said: "Guo Dan, in fact, the old body is still a little uneasy!" ”

Guo Dan was stunned and said: "What is the Queen Mother worried about? ”

Empress Dowager Li said: "Of course Yongning! Although you have solved the problems outside, Yongning may still seek death again, about this, you also said at the beginning, and also said that you want to use this matter to help Yongning unload these burdens forever, the old body should not be mistaken. ”

Guo Dan only felt dizzy for a while, and said, "Yes... Yes, the grass folk did say that. ”

Empress Dowager Li smiled slightly and said, "You have always been resourceful, and the old body believes that you must have a way to do it, and this Yongning matter, the old body will be handed over to you." ”

"Huh?"

Guo Dan almost bit his tongue.

He expected that the Queen Mother would definitely stop it, and the emperor said it, but the Queen Mother didn't agree, how could it be so .....!

What's going on here?
