Guo Zhiyuan smiled bitterly and didn't answer, in fact, he didn't say that Shen Li also knew that the central government of the Ming Dynasty had become weaker and weaker in its control over the localities, and it had already become a well-known officialdom to deceive the superiors and subordinates. Rules, as the second assistant of the cabinet, Shen Li naturally knows how dark the Ming court has become, but he is powerless to change, so he has a heart and takes the initiative to resign from Emperor Wanli several times.

Shen Li saw Guo Zhiyuan's expression and knew that he had asked an embarrassing question, so he didn't dwell on this issue anymore, and asked Guo Zhiyuan about the specific process of the rebellion, Guo Zhiyuan naturally wouldn't hide it from him, and told him what happened, Shen Li couldn't help patting the arm of the chair and sighing after hearing it: "The virtuous nephew is really a rare genius in a hundred years, brave and strategic, in order to quell the rebellion in such a short time with such a small number of troops, this battle will definitely go down in history!" ……”

Speaking of this, he suddenly smiled, looked at Guo Zhiyuan and said: "But this time the virtuous nephew is really a little risky, although all the fighters win with the right combination, but the virtuous nephew is the pillar of the country's future, and the future is great, so you must not take risks easily, otherwise it is very easy to develop the habit of being lucky, and there will be a day when you miss!" ……”

This is not the first time someone has given Guo Zhiyuan such a warning, Guo Zhengyu and Liu Guangxian have warned him like this, but he really can't help it, he is still too weak now, if he doesn't take risks, it will be difficult for him to grow up quickly in such a short time, of course, Shen Li's reminder must be reasonable, you can't make a big deal by being smart, and it can be seen that Shen Li really values Guo Zhiyuan very much and has high hopes for him, so Guo Zhiyuan hurriedly bowed and said: "Xie Ge Lao reminds that the little nephew will definitely pay attention in the future, I won't take risks easily......"

Seeing that Guo Zhiyuan was so humble and polite, Shen Li's impression of him became better and better, and he touched his beard with relief and smiled: "The old man is old, although he has the heart to help the government, but he is no longer able to do it, fortunately, there are such pillars of talent as the virtuous nephew, I am hopeful that the Ming Dynasty is prosperous, and the old man can rest assured that the old man will return to the field......"

Listening to Shen Li's words, Guo Zhiyuan's nose couldn't help but feel slightly sour, Shen Li's sleeves were breezy and awe-inspiring, and he had been fighting for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty all his life, but because his personality was too upright, he was not liked by Emperor Wanli, and he couldn't show his ambitions. So much so that Shen has always been impeached in 1606 when he was forced to resign, he actually proposed that Shen Li also go to work together, and the Wanli Emperor was probably annoyed by the two of them, and actually agreed, so the two of them both went to work, and what is even more amazing is that Shen has always and Shen Li even had the same year of life and death (both were born in 1531 AD and died in 1615 AD), which may only be explained by being born to commit a crime.

Shen Li saw Guo Zhiyuan's sad face, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, the old man will not sit idly by and watch the traitors disturb the court, as long as the virtuous nephew does not violate the laws of the court, the old man should protect you!" ……”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Guo Zhiyuan, and said with a smile: "The virtuous nephew came to the door today, it should be more than just a visit to the old man, let's say, what do you need the old man's help?" ……”

Guo Zhiyuan couldn't help but blush when Shen Li's mind was broken, and he was ashamed of his previous intention to take advantage of this venerable old man's careful thoughts, and he no longer concealed it at the moment, and truthfully said his idea of opening a mansion in Dongfan, and told him that Emperor Wanli had already passed the level, and he only needed to speak for Shen Li when Shen always stood up against him.

When Shen Li heard this, he frowned and said, "Build a government office in Dongfan?" I'm afraid that this matter is not easy to do, and some people have raised this proposal before, and it was rejected when the court discussed, you promised the saint that you don't need the court to spend a penny or a grain, and you also donate 100,000 taels of tax and silver to the court every year, how is this possible? If this cannot be done, is it not a crime of deception? The virtuous nephew is still too reckless! ……”

Guo Zhiyuan hurriedly said: "The little nephew is really sure, so he dares to promise to the saint, as for how the little nephew can do it, please forgive the little nephew can't say it yet, only if the court agrees, the little nephew can put forward conditions to the saint, otherwise everything is empty talk......

Shen Li saw that Guo Zhiyuan looked confident and didn't want to ask any more, so he thought about it and said: "Okay, the virtuous nephew has a plan, and the old man doesn't ask much, everyone in the whole dynasty knows that the old man and Shen have always been at odds, and if he opposes it then, the old man will help you speak is also the right thing, but Shen's consistent Zhejiang Party has a lot of power in the court, and the old man can't support it alone, I'm afraid it will ......."

Guo Zhiyuan was overjoyed when he saw that Shen Li agreed to help him speak, and hurriedly said: "Please rest assured that Shen Ge Lao, since the little nephew has proposed this proposal, he still has some confidence in his heart, and as long as Shen Ge Lao stands up to support him, someone will naturally stand up and support......

Shen Li glanced at Guo Zhiyuan deeply, he himself didn't like to play this kind of vertical and horizontal wrist. He has always advocated that national politics should be kept private, and once, Zhang Juzheng, whom he respected the most, asked him to write a recital with him in his private house. Shen Li immediately refused, he stubbornly believed that state affairs are state affairs, private affairs are private affairs, and public and private affairs must not be mixed up and compared. If it's a private matter, you and I can do it in either family, then what kind of system is it? Because of this, Shen Li was often isolated by the ministers of the DPRK and China.

However, now Shen Li has gradually realized that his character is actually not suitable for mixing with officialdom, so although he does not approve of Guo Zhiyuan playing this kind of trick, he does not object, and sighs and says: "It's really terrifying, the old man is not as good as you, but the old man hopes that you will remember that at any time, you must not form a party for personal gain, let alone use unscrupulous means to achieve your goals!" ……”

Guo Zhiyuan's heart was stunned, knowing that Shen Li had actually seen through his thoughts, and hurriedly said: "The teachings of the elder pavilion, the little nephew will not dare to forget!" ……”

Coming out of the Shen Mansion, Guo Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, Shen Li promised to help him speak, he was considered to have one more reinforcement, but this is far from enough, Shen Li himself said just now, he alone can't fight Shen Zheng, so Guo Zhiyuan must look for more powerful reinforcements, this reinforcement Guo Zhiyuan certainly has a candidate in his heart, but for whether he can convince this person, Guo Zhiyuan is not sure at all, because this person is not as honest and frank as Shen Li, as long as it is beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, it is not difficult to persuade Shen Li to support, If it weren't for the last resort, Guo Zhiyuan even hoped that he would never go to see this person, because he knew that if he couldn't convince this person, not only would he not help him, but he might also bring death to himself!

(PS: You might as well guess, who is Guo Zhiyuan going to see next?) ）
