"And thin mud" is actually very difficult, and ordinary people really can't do it.

Because you have to "make peace with the mud", you must see everything very thoroughly, so that you can take care of all aspects.

Shen Shixing has long seen through the essence of this matter, he has nothing to do, and he is even a little disheartened, and now in the cabinet, Wang Xijue is rushing to the front, and he has gradually retreated to the second line. Whether this Guo Dan is in the middle of the list or not, it is not he who has the final say, but Wanli.

In fact, Wanli also understood in his heart that he originally planned to let Guo Dan come to the palace as a eunuch, but at that time, Guo Dan was directly scared and fainted, and later he proposed to let Guo Dan be an official, Guo Dan was unwilling, and made an oath.

But he finally arranged for Guo Dan to enter Jinyiwei, all of which were to give Guo Dan a legitimacy to contact him.

However, Wanli's thinking changed later, and he didn't want Guo Dan to enter the court as an official, because he gradually felt that the ministers in the court were targeting him, and the ministers were unhappy with what he did, which made Guo Dan jump in, and Guo Dan might not blindly help him.

And he had the idea of starting something else.

He never spoke of it again.

But now things seem to be getting a little out of control.

Because the confrontation between Guo Dan and the entire bureaucracy has become more and more serious, and now it has become anything as long as it concerns Guo Dan, there is no right or wrong, and there is no morality at all.

And Guo Dan has contracted four state capitals, and as long as there are problems in the surrounding areas, he can always be involved.

Wanli must maintain the official position, because this is the basis of his rule, and there is no substitute.

But Guo Dan also involves his small treasury and big plans, and he can't hurt Guo Dan, this palm and back of his hand involve his ruling interests, and he is really difficult to ride a tiger.

So he could only find Guo Dan, and he didn't hide it from Guo Dan, so he directly told Guo Dan about the Guide Mansion.

After Guo Dan listened, he was not surprised at all, nor was he panicked, he said unusually calmly: "Your Majesty, you don't seek merit in your humble position, but you want no fault, as long as you don't kill your humble position, and avoid the pain of flesh and skin, it doesn't matter if you have the rest of your humble duties." ”

Although he loves money, he is not afraid that Wanli will fine him with money, because money belongs to Wanli.

Wanli was surprised: "Did you already expect it?" ”

Guo Dan said: "The humble position is prepared for this. ”

He and Aunt Xu face each other day and night, and they can't fall in love, so they usually discuss this matter, and Aunt Xu has long thought of this for him.

There are two sides to this, he is not an official, he is not subject to the officialdom system, and it is difficult for others to find a starting point if they want to deal with him, and of course it has a great negative effect.

It's up to you to weigh it up.

Guo Dan is willing to be wronged.

As long as you don't beat me, don't kill me, you can belittle me and elevate yourself as much as you want, even if you say it backwards, I will admit it.

This Guo Dan really doesn't matter, he doesn't want to be a hero.

Wanli smiled bitterly: "If you say it is so simple, then I don't have to worry about it!" ”

Speaking of this, he seemed to suddenly remember something, "Your son is now a year old." ”

Guo Tammu nodded, this topic jumped to him a little confused.

Wanli showed an amiable smile: "You can also be regarded as leaving incense for Guo Kou's two families, or you should enter the palace cleanly." ”

Cleanse into the palace?

Guo Dan was so frightened that his body shook a few times, and suddenly remembered the first time, Wanli's sentence "painless cutting", which scared him and didn't dare to faint.

If he faints, what if Wanli cuts him directly, and glues it back then?

I scolded the fat house in my heart for being ruthless, you dead fat house, you are really a thief! Guo Dan's expression changed, and he said: "Your Majesty, I suddenly feel that they are aggressive and reverse black and white, we must not compromise like this." Your Majesty, rest assured, we still have newspapers and periodicals, and this is not the time to throw in the towel. ”

At this time, we must show our manly spirit, and we must not show the slightest eunuch posture, what a compromise, compromise your sister, Lao Tzu is a handle, that is, to have a hard anus.

For the sake of the little brother, he did not hesitate to fight!

Wanli laughed embarrassedly: "If you really don't want to, I won't force you, you can't pretend like this." ”

Guo Dan said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, I would rather die than be a eunuch." ”

Wanli was curious: "Why? ”

If this weren't for the emperor, then Guo Dan would really beat people, do you still need to ask? Why don't you cut yourself, always thinking about cutting others, there are so many women in the world, do you take care of them alone.

"Because I am very obsessed with boudoir sports."

Guo Dan replied very shyly.

Otherwise, he didn't know how to answer the question.

"Boudoir sports?"

Wanli was stunned for a moment, before he reacted, stared at Guo Dan, couldn't make a sound for a long time, and thought, hmm....... It's really the same thing that heroes see!

But Li Gui next to him almost burst into tears!

Have you ever considered my feelings?

Wanli sighed again and said, "In that case, I can only let you become an official." ”

"Huh?"

Guo Dan suddenly panicked again, and now he was even more afraid of officialdom, and said: "Your Majesty, the humble position was ...... at the beginning!" ”

"Don't take out your oath."

Wanli waved his hand and said: "I know that you have made great achievements, so naturally I will not let them succeed, but you must also understand my difficulties, if I want to protect you, but at the same time, I must also maintain the prestige of the government. ”

Guo Dan said: "But Your Majesty, if you become an official with a low position, then there is no reason to contract the state capital with a low position." ”

Businessmen contracting the state capital, although it is a bit outrageous, but it is still reasonable, this official contracting the state capital, how to explain this?

Wanli suddenly had a head and two big: "That's why I let you enter the palace." ”

Guo Dan asked, "Can the eunuch contract the state capital?" ”

“......！”

Wanli was speechless, rubbed his forehead and said, "Forget it, forget it, you go back and think about it first, and I will think about it, but you have to be prepared." ”

He didn't really make a decision, because he didn't want to compromise on it, but he also had to leave a way back for himself, and if he really couldn't bear it, he could only compromise.

......

"Ahh

Guo Dan sat by the pool, his hands hung down, his neck was up, and his mouth let out a painful moan, "What does the official represent, that is, it represents 'not enough to achieve and more than to lose', I, Guo Dan, am born to be a winner, let me be an official, isn't this a deliberate torture of me...... ”

He muttered and complained for a while, then suddenly sat up and said to Aunt Xu without saying a word to the other side: "Layman, you shouldn't have forgotten that I donate a lot of money to Yunxiaguan every year. ”

Aunt Xu glanced at him and said with a little guilt: "I'm really sorry, I didn't think it through at the beginning, and I didn't expect you to develop so quickly." ”

Guo Dan asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Aunt Xu sighed lightly: "There may be no room for maneuver in this matter, you can avoid this time, and it is impossible to escape the next time." ”

Guo Dan said angrily: "This is not the reason for me to donate. ”

Aunt Xu said: "Now you are in a situation where you are about to rise, you seem to be strong but not strong, although you have a lot of wealth, but you do not have the power and status to match. Then they will inevitably take advantage of this gap to suppress you in every possible way, and it is impossible for you to continue to develop, this kind of thing will continue to happen, Your Majesty can continue to protect you, but Your Majesty can't ignore the interests of the world for the sake of you alone. ”

Guo Dan said: "But after I go in, I will die for a lifetime." ”

Aunt Xu shook her head and said, "I don't think you have this 'lifetime' opportunity, because with the wealth you control now, if you are given more power, Your Majesty may not be able to believe in you as much as you do today." I suggested that you not be an official because of your status as a businessman, which allows you to give full play to your talents, and secondly, because of Your Majesty's trust. Once you become an official, then you can't make money so unscrupulously, including what about the state capital you contracted? ”

“......！”

Guo smiled lightly: "That is to say, horizontal is also dead, vertical is also dead, then there is no play." ”

Aunt Xu said: "I think what you have to do now is to calm down, instead of feeling sorry for yourself here, as your wealth grows more and more, and more and more things are involved, your responsibilities and troubles will also increase, which you will inevitably face in the future." ”

"Not bad! There must be other ways to do it. Guo Dan nodded.

In fact, he very much agrees with Aunt Xu's statement, it seems that it is not strong, it will not start, he is very rich, but this money is not enough for him to gain power, in fact, the last part of the capitalist road must still be involved in politics, but politics serves the economy, and the economy feeds back into politics.

But the problem is, he's not there yet, and now is when he's at his weakest.

People are not stupid, you have contracted four state capitals, how can we still be a merchant who allows you to be a mermaid.

Now the entire bureaucracy and interest groups are trying every means to encircle and suppress Guo Dan, which is why the floods in Weihui Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion are happier than anyone else, because they feel that it is very rare to deal with Guo Dan in ordinary times.

They even tried to attack Guo Dan from the perspective of buying and selling, such as newspapers and periodicals, but the effect was too slow and could not be contained.

At this time, Guo Dan was at a fork in the road, and if he made a mistake, it might be a place of no return.

You have to think about it carefully, it's really not good, so let's drag it out first and talk about it next time.

However, Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping's recitals accelerated the fermentation of the whole thing.

The two of them reported truthfully, demanded that Wanli severely punish Li Weien and some other officials, and demanded that the disaster relief system be reformed.

This completely angered the opposition, who believed that Wang Xijue was declaring war on them.

Actually, it is.

Because Wang Xijue thinks that if this matter is reversed, there will only be one result, Guo Dan will be executed, otherwise, how can it be treated, and any dirty water can be poured on Guo Dan.

It's just Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping, not Wang Xijue alone.

But Wang Jiaping has a good life, he has the eldest son of the emperor to protect his body, and Wang Jiaping has always been clean and upright, and he never forms a gang, but if you don't form a gang, just rely on virtue to convince people, then you are harmless.

Wang Xijue is different, Wang Xijue is ambitious, he has always sought to strengthen the power of the cabinet, and this time he wants to reform.

The disaster relief warehouse is a piece of fat, especially for the local government, although it is not very big, but the tariff is still vivid, you cut a piece on the left, cut a piece on the right, who can stand it.

They focused their firepower on Wang Xijue and Shen Shixing, and the two of you were in cahoots with Guo Dan to frame Zhongliang.

Of course, Shen Shixing and they immediately counterattacked, but they showed weakness.

Because many upright officials have also been tied up, and you Shen Shixing himself has hinted in front of him, if this matter is really as Wang Xijue said, then where is the face of our officials.

That's it, the key is that other officials in Henan Province have also come up to support Li Weien, and the one who rushed to the forefront is Ruzhou, criticizing Guo Dan for disrupting the disaster relief in various state capitals, some are just talking nonsense with their eyes open, but there are also some officials who still have a little bit of truth in what they say.

For example, we are all desperately trying to maintain food prices, but you Guo Dan has raised prices, and you are still doing so well, so how can we explain to the people, whether I will rise or not, aren't you deliberately disrupting our work?

This is not difficult to understand, in the entire Henan Province, the state capital contracted by Guo Dan is developing so well, they can't catch up, that is, it proves that they are relatively incompetent in disguise, so of course they have to oppose Guo Dan.

This is really the Ming Dynasty version of "referring to the deer as a horse".

If they didn't know the truth, they might not be so radical, because they knew that they had lost too badly, and they would never admit it.

And their words, Wanli can't ignore them.

The officials of Henan Province were watching from the sidelines, and no one knew the whole process of the whole thing.

This Wanli is really starting to dizzy.

And Guo Dan was also trembling.
