Guo Zhiyuan chuckled in his heart when he heard this, he hadn't completely come out of the grief of the death of his cheap father, but he had forgotten about it. Ancient China attaches great importance to filial piety, "filial piety and honesty", "seeking loyalty and ministers must be in the door of filial piety", if a person is labeled as unfilial, do not say that he cannot be an official, and will be ashamed of the world. Since the Han Dynasty, the "Ding Worry Shou System" has been implemented, that is, when the parents die, they should go home to keep filial piety for three years.

This is especially true in the Ming Dynasty, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang is known as the "filial piety emperor", he regards filial piety as the basic condition of "humanity", and also as a necessary condition for the selection of officials...... If you are not the first, how can you take the lead in ?......", even the mausoleum after his death is also called "filial piety", which shows the importance he attaches to filial piety. And the emperors of the Ming Dynasty after him, no matter how good they were in governing the country and how they messed up in state affairs, they didn't dare to mess around in terms of filial piety, so the Ming Dynasty has been inherited for hundreds of years, but there has never been a scandal of killing his father and succeeding to the throne in other dynasties.

Even Zhang Juzheng, the "first assistant of the Ming Dynasty", was impeached by the ministers for not keeping his father's funeral, and there was a big storm for this. In the fifth year of Wanli (1577), Zhang Juzheng's father Zhang Wenming died of illness, when Zhang Juzheng was in power, he was worried that returning to his hometown to guard the system would lead to the loss of power, but because of the traditional ethics, he did not dare to risk the disapproval of the world, so he staged a "double reed" with his good partner Feng Bao, the great eunuch.

Zhang Juzheng first asked Feng Bao to persuade Emperor Wanli to send a decree to "seize love" to keep Zhang Juzheng, and Emperor Wanli did trust Zhang Juzheng very much at that time, and immediately issued an order to "seize love", saying, "Yuan Fu and I rely on it, how can I leave me one day!" The patriarchal system should be guarded, the monarch's father is especially important, he is allowed to pass the seventy-seven, he enters the cabinet as usual, and the waiter talks about the expiration of the study period with the court ......", Zhang Juzheng pretended to shirk, and asked to return to his hometown to guard the system, but the Wanli Emperor did not allow it, and once again issued an order to keep Zhang Juzheng, and Zhang Juzheng shirked again, so back and forth for several rounds, Zhang Juzheng only then pushed the boat down the river and promised to stay "in the official system".

It is said that Zhang Juzheng has done enough to save face, and it was a critical period for him to implement the New Deal reform, which is indeed excusable, but the ministers did not sell it, and they impeached Zhang Juzheng one after another, Zhang Juzheng was annoyed and ashamed, and discussed with Feng Bao to implement the court rod on Wu Zhongxing and other four people who took the lead in sparseness, and wanted to stop the spread of this wind by extraordinary means, but the turmoil became bigger and bigger, and the impeachment of him was still continuous, although in the end Zhang Juzheng was still "seized" to stay in office, but this also became a major historical stain on him!

Even Zhang Juzheng was scolded as a dog because he didn't keep the system, let alone Guo Zhiyuan, and Emperor Wanli is now more jealous of Guo Zhiyuan, and it is impossible to order him to "win affection" to let him stay in office, and he will definitely use this golden opportunity to weaken Guo Zhiyuan's power, let him resign from the official system, and send someone to replace him in charge of Dongfan.

And Guo Zhiyuan can't solve this problem like he did with Qin Shou last time, Guo Zhengyu's hometown is in Jiangxia, if he wants to keep the system, he must leave Dongfan and go to Jiangxia, and he wants to engage in the "golden cicada shelling" set is to cover up, once he leaves Dongfan, many things will be difficult to control.

It is impossible for him to kill the people sent by Wanli to replace him in charge of Dongfan like last time, just promised that the cheap father would never betray Ming and do this kind of thing, Guo Zhengyu If he knew about it, he was afraid that he would get up from the coffin and scold him, but Guo Zhiyuan really didn't want to leave Dongfan, Dongfan was his brainchild, and it was also his foundation in this time and space, even if he promised Guo Zhengyu that he would never betray Ming, but at most he would not openly erect the flag of rebellion, but it would never be possible to give up the base of Dongfan.

What's more, Guo Zhiyuan can't afford to spend time, and it will take three years, three years! If you really don't do anything for three years, it's really daylily that is cold! Especially the next three years are exactly the Ming Dynasty. The key three years of the alternation of the bureau, from Wanli to Taichang and then to the apocalypse, the changes in the past three years are really dazzling in the original historical time and space, if you miss these three years, Guo Zhiyuan will miss the opportunity, and then it will be difficult to turn the tide!

In this way, Guo Zhiyuan is in a dilemma, and Xu Guangqi and they can't think of a good way to get the best of both worlds, Guo Zhiyuan has told them that he promised never to betray the Ming before Guo Zhengyu died, and emotionally they don't want Guo Zhiyuan to openly erect a flag of rebellion, after all, they are also the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, if they follow Guo Zhiyuan's rebellion, there will always be a hurdle in their hearts, but they also know that Guo Zhiyuan made such a promise that the future road will be more difficult and more difficult, just like a wild horse with the reins on, You want to run forward, but there are always people behind you who are desperately pulling you, how can you run fast?

I couldn't think of a good way to solve this problem for a while, Guo Zhiyuan simply didn't want to, anyway, Dongfan was a long way from the capital, and when the news of Guo Zhengyu's death reached the capital, the courtiers wanted to discuss what nickname to add to Guo Zhengyu (The nickname is the text that posterity will give evaluation after a person's death. And then the decree will be issued, and then it will be transmitted to Dongfan, with the efficiency of the current Ming Dynasty court, how can it take several months, maybe there will be something in the middle of these months?

Therefore, Guo Zhiyuan temporarily placed Guo Zhengyu's coffin on Yangming Mountain behind Dongfan Academy, Guo Zhengyu poured almost all his energy and effort into Dongfan Academy after arriving in Dongfan, I believe that he will be satisfied with such an arrangement, and Guo Zhiyuan also built a grass house next to it, reading books and exercising there every day, which can be regarded as keeping filial piety for his father, and he can also use this rare leisure time to think about how to go in the future?

The news of Guo Zhengyu's death reached the capital, and the Donglin Party members were very sad, although they were not interested in Guo Zhiyuan, but Guo Zhengyu's reputation among the Donglin Party was still very high, and he once wanted to promote him into the cabinet, and asked the Wanli Emperor to add a name to Guo Zhengyu (Shang Zhengyu, that is, a name for praise).

Emperor Wanli was also very happy to hear the news, he has been having a headache about how to cut Guo Zhiyuan's power, lest he become a big trouble for the imperial court, and now the opportunity has finally come, Guo Zhengyu died Guo Zhiyuan must resign and return to his hometown to guard the system, he can justifiably cut Guo Zhiyuan's power, so he has always been lazy about the government This time he also unexpectedly played a high efficiency, and immediately asked the Ministry of Rites to prepare a name for Guo Zhengyu.

In order to appease Guo Zhiyuan's rebellious emotions that may arise from being forced to resign and return to his hometown to guard the system, Emperor Wanli decided to improve Guo Zhengyu's posthumous treatment, anyway, it is also a matter of benefit and no expense.
