Wenchen colluded with military generals is a taboo, the reason why Emperor Wanli killed Zhang Juzheng at the beginning, one of the most important is because Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang have a close relationship, Qi Jiguang will send Zhang Juzheng silver and beauties every year. Although Shen Yourong's official position is not high, Emperor Wanli has also heard of his reputation, and knows that this is an unruly general, such a fierce general actually colludes with Guo Zhiyuan, so that Emperor Wanli has to be jealous, he doesn't want another Zhang Juzheng, although he still has some good thoughts of Zhang Juzheng just now, but even if he does it again, he will still choose to take Zhang Juzheng, because the stability of imperial power is what he cares about the most!

Fortunately, Guo Zhiyuan has not grown up yet, and it is obviously a bit of a fuss to compare him with Zhang Juzheng now, but Emperor Wanli will never be careless because of this, if Guo Zhiyuan really has a heart of disobedience, he will definitely choose to strangle the danger in the cradle!

However, the conversation with Concubine Zheng just now also aroused Emperor Wanli's heart to some extent, and he really has no one to use now! In the Manchu Dynasty, he had both the talent to govern the world and ensure loyalty, and he couldn't imagine that the current cabinet ministers, Shen Cheng and Shen Li, were already old, and there were almost no ministers who could be of great use when they were younger. You can't let him, the emperor, do everything!

And he can't leave a mess after a hundred years, although he doesn't like Zhu Changluo, but this is a major matter related to the inheritance of imperial power, he doesn't want to be a sinner of the Zhu Ming Dynasty, although he is confident that he can live for many years, but he has to consider this problem, he has to leave a few capable auxiliary ministers for his successor.

Thinking of this, Emperor Wanli suddenly waved his hand to Concubine Zheng Guifei on the side and said coldly: "No, since Guo Zhiyuan has come to the capital, then I will see him, whether he is a pillar of talent, or a chaotic minister and thief, I am not old and dizzy, I should be able to tell the difference!" ……”

Speaking of this, Emperor Wanli glanced at Concubine Zheng Guifei, saw that she was so frightened that her face turned pale, his eyes softened, he gently hugged her into his arms, and said softly: "Concubine Ai doesn't have to be afraid, I know that you are bent on sharing worries for me, but you are often in the deep palace, rarely interact with people, and it is inevitable that you will be deceived by others, so you should treat this matter as if nothing happened, send someone to bring that Guo Zhiyuan to see me, and you don't have to make a noise to the outside world, just say that it is the relatives of Concubine Ai's mother's family who came to visit the palace, and everything will be ......said when I see Guo Zhiyuan."

Guo Zhiyuan thought that even if he invited Zheng Guifei to say that it would be at least a few days before Emperor Wanli wanted to meet him, but not long after Shen Yuniang came back from the palace, a eunuch came to the palace to pass Guo Zhiyuan into the palace.

At this time, he didn't know that Emperor Wanli had already killed him, and when he heard that he could enter the palace so soon, he was also overjoyed, so he changed into clean civilian clothes and hurried out. The eunuch who came to deliver the message was a middle-aged eunuch with a dead face, Guo Zhiyuan stuffed a few silver tickets as usual, he didn't answer, and said expressionlessly: "Let's go, Niangniang is still waiting in the palace, if the palace guards want to ask for a while, you will say that it is Niangniang's distant relative, enter the palace to visit Niangniang, don't pay attention to the rest, you have your own miscellaneous family to deal with it......"

Guo Zhiyuan felt that something was wrong, it was said that since Zheng Guifei was willing to help him speak, she naturally had a good impression of him, this eunuch was Zheng Guifei's side, why would he put on such an appearance of rejection thousands of miles away? He couldn't figure out the reason for a while, got into the carriage brought by the eunuch, and went to the palace.

The eunuch held Zheng Guifei's token, and entered the palace all the way unimpeded, Guo Zhiyuan was not the first time to enter the palace, he knew the rules, and he didn't look around, silently thinking about how to deal with it when he saw Emperor Wanli, and when he came to the Chengqian Palace where Zheng Guifei lived, Guo Zhiyuan felt more and more wrong, because he didn't even see a palace maid and eunuch along the way, obviously he was transferred away, even if Emperor Wanli met him, there was no need to be so mysterious?

At this time, the eunuch had stopped, pointed to the gate of a palace next to him, and said: "When you arrive, the miscellaneous family will not go in, you can go in by yourself...... After speaking, he left without looking back.

Guo Zhiyuan pushed open the door of the hall with some trepidation, raised his eyes and saw the Emperor Wanli sitting on the dragon chair with a gloomy face, sighed in his heart, hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to salute, and forced himself to calm down: "Minister Guo Zhiyuan has seen the saint, long live my emperor, long live long live......

Emperor Wanli didn't speak, nor did he shout flat, just looked at Guo Zhiyuan coldly, this monarch really didn't cover it, Guo Zhiyuan didn't dare to raise his head, he felt like a mang on his back, and the cold sweat came down, and after a while, he heard Emperor Wanli say slowly: "Guo Zhiyuan, are you guilty?" ……”

Guo Zhiyuan didn't know what was wrong with him, so he asked Wanli to put on this posture to himself when he met, and replied boldly: "Weichen is stupid, I don't know what the crime is?" ……”

Emperor Wanli snorted coldly, threw the two books in front of Guo Zhiyuan with a "snap", and said coldly: "See for yourself!" See how you explain it?! ……”

Guo Zhiyuan picked up the two books and looked at them, and then suddenly realized, it turned out that he was sued by Xu Xueju first, no wonder Wanli would have such an attitude, but he also knew that Emperor Wanli already had a preconceived impression, if he defended directly, Emperor Wanli would definitely not believe him, and he would not be able to dispel his doubts.

So Guo Zhiyuan could only use his invincible "trick" - laughing magically, folding the two books together, laughing, Wanli was a little surprised to see that Guo Zhiyuan could still laugh at this time, frowned and said, "Why are you laughing?" ……”

Guo Zhiyuan pretended to be unbearable, and arched his hand to Emperor Wanli and said: "Please forgive the Holy Lord for the crime of Weichen's dereliction, it is really too ridiculous for Lord Xu, and Weichen is not three-headed and six-armed, how can he defeat 20,000 rebels by himself?" Besides, when Weichen put down the rebellion, Lord Xu was still far away in Fuzhou, but he said it as if he had seen it himself, and Weichen really admired Lord Xu's imagination, and he could say that he was alive when he was ...... dead."

Emperor Wanli was also a little surprised, he originally thought that Guo Zhiyuan was going to argue that it was also against Xu Xueju's impeachment letter that he had a heart of disobedience, and tried his best to clear himself, but he didn't expect Guo Zhiyuan to say that Xu Xueju's letter asking for credit for him was too ridiculous, who would push the credit out? He raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, then you can tell me how you put down the rebellion?" You are a civil servant, and you have no soldiers and horses under your command, so where do your counterinsurgency soldiers come from? ……”
