Vassal king? ”

Fang Fengshi listened to it, his expression was extremely surprised, he thought in advance that Aunt Xu was going to talk about Guo Dan, it was the struggle between the officials and the cabinet, and these had nothing to do with the vassal king.

Aunt Xu asked, "I don't know what Fang Shangshu thinks of the problem of my vassal king. ”

Fang Fengshi sighed: "The harm is endless. ”

This doesn't need to be brainy, there is nothing to hide, many ministers also say so in front of the emperor, the vassal king is pure loss, and there is no constructive help for the country, the only help is that the emperor's relatives and relatives cannot usurp the throne, so later Beijing City was also broken by the surname Li, and those surnamed Zhu really became pigs.

Aunt Xu asked again: "I don't know if Fang Shangshu has a solution?" ”

Fang Fengshi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This matter is incomprehensible to outsiders. ”

Although the issue of the vassal king is full of harm to the country, it is a family matter of the emperor, not a major national matter, which is why the suggestions of the ministers on this matter are all in moderation and will not completely solve the problem.

In ancient times, Lao Tzu was the emperor, Lao Tzu let his children and grandchildren live a little better, what hinders you, you are not all virtuous, and the children and grandchildren of your ministers are also very nourishing.

Not to mention the minister, everyone is like this, whoever makes a fortune will let his son live a beggar life.

"Fang Shangshu is reasonable, this bell must be tied to the bell!"

At this point, Aunt Xu's words changed: "Now that the Yanguan and the cabinet are like fire and water in the DPRK, I don't know who Fang Shangshu thinks will win?" ”

Fang Fengshi was stunned for a moment, and the topic jumped a little unturningly, and said: "Who wins and who loses, the old man has no way of knowing, and the old man only knows that I am definitely a loser." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Aunt Xu and asked, "I wonder which side the layman thinks wins?" ”

He is quite interested in this topic, after all, this is the headline today, and the issue of the vassal king is depressing when it is mentioned, so it is okay not to mention it.

Aunt Xu said with a smile: "Since Fang Shangshu has already pointed out who this loser is, then the rest are naturally winners." ”

Fang Fengshi sighed: "The meaning of the layman, isn't it that the officials and the cabinet are winners?" ”

Aunt Xu nodded.

Fang Fengshi was curious: "How do you say this?" ”

Aunt Xu said: "It is very difficult for the official to bring down the cabinet with this, in my opinion, and now that Guo Dan is involved, it is even more difficult, because Guo Dan is His Majesty's person, which is reasonable, public and private, and His Majesty will be biased towards the cabinet."

But the Yanguan is not necessarily a loser, as long as they tie the cabinet to Guo Dan, then this will affect the prestige of the cabinet in the court and Shilin, it can be said that the cabinet wins in the present, but the Yanguan will win in the future. ”

Fang Fengshi nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with Aunt Xu's opinion.

The reason why the Yanguan dared to compete with the cabinet on this matter was because they believed that they had the right time and place, and the essence of the matter was not important, the important thing was that Guo Dan had always stood on the opposite side of the bureaucracy and Shilin, as long as Shen Shixing and Guo Dan were put on one side, then other officials would naturally support them.

Without the support of the bureaucracy, it was only a matter of time before the first assistant stepped down.

Aunt Xu continued: "I think it won't be long before this official will be defeated, and may also implicate the prefects of Kaifeng, Zhangde, and Huaiqing. ”

Fang Fengshi looked at Aunt Xu suspiciously, he was also confused now, who are you helping, but he didn't ask much, and followed her words and asked, "What is the good plan for the layman?" ”

Aunt Xu said: "It is to contract Kaifeng Mansion and Zhangde Mansion to Guo Dan." ”

Fang Fengshi's eyes widened, he looked at Aunt Xu in shock, shook his head and said: "I'm afraid this matter will not be possible, everyone has been involved once last time, how can you agree to contract other state capitals to Guo Dan now." ”

"Guo Dan can succeed in Weihui Mansion, that is because the situation in Weihui Mansion is relatively simple, and it is the smallest state capital in Henan Province, but it is not necessarily that he can also succeed in Kaifeng Mansion and Zhangde Mansion, which is like eating, if you eat too much in one go, it will also die." Aunt Xu smiled slightly.

Fang Fengshi said: "Even so, they won't agree." ”

"Not necessarily."

Aunt Xu said confidently: "As far as I know, the current situation of Kaifeng Mansion and Zhangde Mansion is very bad, they can't withstand the impact of Weihui Mansion at all, and Guo Dan should be responsible for this, if you don't solve the problem of Weihui Mansion, then you can't solve the problem of Zhangde Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion."

In this case, why not throw this mess to Guo Dan, they can even be a little more ruthless, and destroy it again before withdrawing, making it difficult for Guo Dan to clean up.

Again, Kaifeng and Zhangde are currently asking the imperial court for help, and the imperial court wants Weihui Mansion to pay more money, or to re-sign the contract, so that this contract can be used to let Weihui Mansion pay money to rescue Kaifeng and Zhangde Second Mansion, and at the same time do not move the contract of Weihui Mansion, and add more harsh conditions to the new contract, which has never made up for the loss of Weihui Mansion.

However, there were several big feudal kings in Kaifeng and Zhangde, especially in Kaifeng Prefecture, and those feudal kings occupied a large amount of arable land, and in such a severe environment, if the problem of the feudal kings was not solved, it would be difficult for the two feudal kings to recover, and if they could not recover, they could use this to get rid of Guo Dan. ”

Fang Fengshi suddenly realized: "And Guo Dan is His Majesty's person." ”

Aunt Xu nodded and said: "Rather than letting Guo Dan contract Kaifeng Mansion, it is better to let Guo Dan contract those vassal kings, once Guo Dan contracts it, then the ministers will never agree to let the court send grain to help the vassal king, since Guo Dan's money is His Majesty's money, then let His Majesty pay to help the vassal king." ”

Fang Fengshi nodded and said, "I understand, Your Majesty may not be willing to use your own money to help, so you must solve the problem of the vassal king." Speaking of this, he paused and said, "If Guo Dan can't solve it, wouldn't it hurt him?" ”

Aunt Xu said with a smile: "If Your Majesty solves the problem of the vassal king, then I believe that Guo Dan will be able to create a miracle and earn more money for Your Majesty, whether you win or lose, it is all in the hands of Your Majesty." ”

"You are forcing Your Majesty to make up your mind to solve the problem of the vassal king! If that's the case, that's interesting. ”

Fang Feng stroked his beard and laughed.

The vassal king is a state system, and it is naturally raised by the state, but if the vassal king is in the state capital contracted by Guo Dan, Guo Dan will naturally be responsible. And the officials don't like the vassal king, nor Guo Dan, they will definitely not use the state finance to help the vassal king, secondly, they will definitely let Guo Dan pay full taxes, then the emperor can only pay out of his own pocket, which is reasonable, your own people, you pay for it yourself.

In this way, the country is sure to make money and not lose money.

Fang Fengshi said again: "Do you want the old man to persuade those imperial historians to use this trick to deal with Guo Dan?" ”

Aunt Xu said: "Fang Shangshu is also the right deputy capital imperial history, and he is quite influential in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. ”

Fang Fengshi pondered for a while, and suddenly asked, "It seems that the layman is pinning his hopes on using Guo Dan to solve some of the problems existing in our dynasty. ”

Aunt Xu nodded lightly and said, "Guo Dan has three major advantages, which Zhang Ge Lao does not have.

First of all, he doesn't need to rely on any officials, so he doesn't need to rectify the officials and purge the court, which won't cause much shock.

Secondly, Guo Dan can satisfy His Majesty's desires, which is particularly important, without His Majesty's support, it is impossible for anyone to succeed in changing the law, and even if he succeeds, it will only be temporary.

In the end, Zhang Ge's old reform lies in the redistribution of interests, which will inevitably touch the interests of officials and landlords, and Guo Dan himself has a way to make money, such as the big landlords of Weihui Mansion, who did not lose anything because of his change, but benefited a lot. ”

.....．

And at this moment, the DPRK and China are in a lot of trouble, and the officials of the government have used the paper of the three governments of Henan to launch a fierce attack on the cabinet and Guo Dan, and it is impossible for them to give up easily, because if the officials do not fight, then there will be no sense of existence, and the DPRK and China are the world of the cabinet, so they must fight, and they are born to fight.

And Shen Shixing didn't want to put Guo Dan on their side, they weren't on one side, but the officials also knew this clearly, and they wanted to put Guo Dan and Cheng Guishi together to sue.

The cabinet was helpless, and could only set up a position to confront them.

However, because Kaifeng, Zhangde, and Huaiqing had to intervene, Wanli also had to come forward in person, after all, while complaining, they were also asking the court for help, and they had to solve this problem first.

So Wanli summoned the two factions to discuss in the Wuying Palace.

"Your Majesty, according to what the prefect of Zhangde Mansion said, Guo Dan not only bought people's hearts, but also bought grain, grass, and horses on a large scale, with very obvious intentions, how could the imperial court ignore this?"

Huang Daxiao said to Wanli with an anxious face.

As if if left unattended, the country would die.

The acting is commendable.

Shen Shixing smiled indifferently and said unhurriedly: "There are hundreds of thousands of people in Weihui Mansion, does Guo Dan have so much money to buy people's hearts?" In addition, as far as I know, it was not Guo Dan who actually bought grain and horses, but local merchants, which is clearly a false accusation. ”

Li Zhi snorted: "Those businessmen are looking forward to Guo Dan's horse, Shen Shoufu is sure that they are not driven by Guo Dan?" ”

Wang Xijue said suddenly: "Regarding this matter, if you wait for you to say that the daylilies are cold, Your Majesty can already make arrangements, at the end of last year, Your Majesty withdrew to Tong Qianhu, and transferred Li Rusong to Weihui Mansion to take over the military administration of Weihui Mansion." ”

Wanli was stunned for a moment, did I think so? But this must be admitted, nodded again and again: "Wang Qingjia is right, Guo Dan contracted Weihui Mansion, it was forced by the situation at that time, such a thing, since ancient times, has never appeared, I have always been on guard against this, Weihui Mansion's every move, I know everything about it, if he dares to make any changes, I will immediately get rid of it." ”

"Your Majesty."

Xu Guo stood up and said: "Sage Yun, this enlightened person has a lot of help, and the unrighteous person has little help, why did the people of Kaifeng Mansion, Zhangde Mansion, and Huaiqing Mansion leave their hometowns and go to Weihui Mansion, which shows that the local prefect has mismanaged and lost the hearts of the people, however, not only do they not reflect on themselves, but they have intensified their efforts and falsely accused others, and their hearts can be punished!" ”

Chen Youde, the imperial historian, immediately retorted: "Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, I have adopted the national policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business. On the surface, it seems that Weihui Mansion has achieved great success, but in fact, this is all based on the destruction of the national system.

It can be seen that Guo Dan is just opportunistic, taking the power of others and using it for his own use, which is the usual skill of businessmen, and it is also the reason why businessmen have always been hated, and businessmen will only try all kinds of ways to turn other people's money into their own money. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Xu Guo and said, "Xu University is a scholar, and he would support such a despicable trick, which is really an eye-opener for my generation!" ”

The smell of gunpowder is getting stronger.

Wang Jiaping frowned, and couldn't help but speak: "Chen Yushi's words are wrong, Guo Dan did not focus on business and suppress agriculture, I have been to Weihui Mansion, Guo Dan is far superior to other state capitals in protecting farmland, and many farmland in the south of the Yangtze River has been planted with mulberry trees.

If you want to do this in Weihui Mansion, you have to pay a huge price, during the period when Guo Dan contracted Weihui Mansion, he did not lose an inch of farmland, because Guo Dan understood that food is the foundation of the people, if there is no food, no matter how prosperous its business is, the people will not stay in Weihui Mansion. ”

Chen Youde asked rhetorically: "Dare to ask Scholar Wang, before Guo Dan contracted Weihui Mansion, Kaifeng Mansion and Zhangde Mansion had always been safe and sound, why did the situation take a turn for the worse after he went." ”

Wang Jiaping frowned silently.

Although he is a member of the cabinet, he is not from Shen Shixing's faction, and he feels that Chen Youde is also reasonable, the system of Weihui Mansion is different from that of other state capitals, and business needs to be mobile, which will definitely cause some damage, which is also inevitable.

Wang Xijue smiled and asked, "If I remember correctly, Chen Yushi is from Jiangxi. ”

Chen Youde said: "So what? ”

Wang Xijue said: "Why did Chen Yushi come to this Jingshi? ”

Chen Youde said: "I went to Beijing to take the exam, won the Jinshi, and entered the court as an official, what's the problem?" ”

Wang Xijue said with a smile: "Chen Yushi can go to Beijing to take the exam, why can't the people of Kaifeng Mansion go to Weihui Mansion to work?" If those people live and work in peace and contentment in their hometowns, how can they be willing to leave their hometowns and go to Weihui Mansion to work? It can be seen that their lives are very difficult. ”

Shen Shixing bowed his hand to Wanli and said: "Your Majesty, as far as the ministers know, Kaifeng Mansion and Zhangde Mansion have this predicament, all of which are their own doing, they have secretly instigated the local landlords to close the road to Weihui Mansion, in a vain attempt to use this violent means to retain the people and trap Weihui Mansion, however, they did not expect it to backfire.

On the other hand, the Daimyo Mansion and the Shanxi Prefecture, they did not take such extreme measures, but they benefited from it, so it can be seen that it is not someone else who really destroys the local finances, it is the selfishness of the local prefect, they are the prefect of a state, but they have no room for people, try to ask how this kind of person can be worthy of the heavy responsibility.

The imperial court not only did not praise the officials who fulfilled their duties and worked hard, but punished them, but praised those who were narrow-minded and incompetent, which was not the way to govern the country. ”

"Aiqing has a point."

Wanli nodded, waved his hand to stop Chen Youde and the others who were still arguing, and said, "Don't talk about it, I have decided to dismiss Wang Shixing and immediately depose the capital." The prefects of Kaifeng, Zhangde, and Huaiqing were suspended for review. ”
