Chapter 196: Self-help
As for the third article, it is also a big taboo of the Donglin Party, because a very important part of the Donglin Party's political proposition is to abolish the commercial tax and not compete with the people for profit. It should be said that the political proposition of the Donglin Party was originally good, in order to encourage the development of industry and commerce, and benefit the merchants and the people, but it led to the tax system of the Ming Dynasty becoming deformed, the rich businessmen only need to pay a small amount of taxes, and the burden of national taxes is all on the poor peasant people, especially at the end of the Ming Dynasty, in order to resist the Manchu invasion, the imperial court also levies Liao, plus natural disasters, the people can not eat enough, so they can only rebel, on the other hand, the treasury also becomes extremely empty because of the tax collection, Even the military salary could not be guaranteed to be paid in full, which was also an important reason for the defeat of the Ming Dynasty.
So Qin Shou was furious when he heard Liu Qidong say this, and Xu Xueju told him not to provoke Guo Zhiyuan easily, so as not to leave behind the advice of extraneous branches, he finally didn't get home, knowing that everything has to be evidenced, and immediately arranged for Liu Qidong to sneak back to Gutian quietly to mobilize Gutian's students to write a joint complaint letter to sue Guo Zhiyuan, those students hated Guo Zhiyuan to the core, and when they heard that there was an opportunity to bring down Guo Zhiyuan, they were as excited as if they had beaten chicken blood, and they also made a gimmick of a bloody complaint, and taught Gu Zhiqian to do it himself, racked his brains to write a "brilliant and colorful" complaint letter, saying that Guo Zhiyuan was a big devil who did all kinds of evil, and then pressed the bloody handprints on Qiqi.
After Qin Shou got the "evidence", he didn't go to Xu Xueju to discuss, and directly impeached Guo Zhiyuan to the court, and by the way, he also attached the joint complaint letter with the bloody handprints of the students, and the Donglin Party officials in the court were angry when they saw the three major crimes of Guo Zhiyuan listed on Qin Shou's fold, this is a big traitor! It doesn't matter that they don't know Guo Zhiyuan at all, they all attack him in groups.
Shen was still a little blindsided at the beginning, what kind of operation is this? Guo Zhengyu is a member of the Donglin Party, it is said that even if Guo Zhiyuan is not a member of the Donglin Party, at least he is good friends with the Donglin Party, how can he be impeached by the Donglin Party? But anyway, this is a good thing for him, he is worried about how to bring down Guo Zhiyuan, a Xiaoqiang who can't be killed, so he immediately impeached Guo Zhiyuan.
Because it was the Donglin Party who impeached Guo Zhiyuan internally, even Shen Li was not good to protect this time, after all, he also had to consider the overall situation, if he stood up to protect Guo Zhiyuan at this time, it would destroy the internal unity of the Donglin Party, and it would also make the Zhejiang Party and the Chu Party look at the jokes.
Emperor Wanli has always been lazy in government affairs, and when he saw that so many people impeached Guo Zhiyuan, he didn't bother to investigate anymore, so he directly allowed him to play and ordered Guo Zhiyuan to be dismissed, but fortunately, he had a good impression of Guo Zhiyuan, so he did not put Guo Zhiyuan in prison for the crime.
At this time, Zhang Cheng had already arrived in the capital, and also set up the intelligence station in the capital, this time Guo Zhiyuan gave him a lot of silver, which was also considered to be a return to his hometown, and he was going to stay in the capital for a few more days, as soon as he received the news that Guo Zhiyuan was dismissed, he knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly went to Gutian overnight, and several horses died along the way, and people were tired and thin, and sent the news back to Gutian as soon as possible.
Guo Zhiyuan was also taken aback when he received the news, he didn't expect Qin Shou to be so unparticular and kill himself as soon as he took office, fortunately, Zhang Cheng received the news in time, and there was still a period of time for the holy decree to come down, he could take advantage of this time difference to quickly find a way to save himself!
But how can you save yourself? The holy decree of Guo Zhiyuan's removal has been issued, and the only way is to let Emperor Wanli change his mind and retract his will, but how easy is this to say, in this era, the words spoken by the emperor are all golden words, and it is impossible to change them at will, and it is difficult to make Emperor Wanli take back his will!
And it is impossible for Guo Zhiyuan to go to the capital in person to persuade Emperor Wanli to change his mind, so he can only speak for himself through the people around Wanli, and this person must also be a very fortunate person of Wanli, otherwise it is impossible to have such a great energy, among the people Guo Zhiyuan knows, only Chen Ju meets this condition, but although Chen Ju has a good impression of Guo Zhiyuan, it is impossible to help Guo Zhiyuan speak for such a thing with Chen Ju's character, and last time Chen Ju helped Guo Zhiyuan because it involved the country's righteousness, he would make a move. It is impossible to invite him, a great god, for something like this that only involves Guo Zhiyuan's personal affairs, and Chen Ju does not love money, and it is impossible for Guo Zhiyuan to bribe him, so this road will not work.
Fortunately, Guo Zhiyuan got on another line through Miaoyifang--- Zheng Guifei! Concubine Zheng Guifei is deeply favored by Emperor Wanli, as long as she is willing to help Guo Zhiyuan speak, then Guo Zhiyuan will be saved! The pillow wind has always been unfavorable!
It is not easy to persuade Zheng Guifei to help her speak, speaking of which, Guo Zhiyuan also ruined Zheng Guifei's good deeds in the demon book case, because Zheng Guifei hopes that her son Fuwang will replace Zhu Changluo as the prince, but the status gap between the two is too far, Zheng Guifei probably doesn't know about Guo Zhiyuan's existence, and even if she has heard of his name, she has long forgotten it.
Guo Zhiyuan still has a way to persuade women, although Zheng Guifei has a noble status, but no matter how noble a woman is, she is also a woman, women love beauty, and they have no resistance to anything that can make them more beautiful, which can be seen from Zheng Guifei's love for cheongsam, so Guo Zhiyuan immediately thought of a big killer against women--- high heels!
Needless to say, the allure of high heels for women is naturally needless to say, wearing high heels, a woman's body curve is immediately highlighted, which can be said to be an artifact that makes women more beautiful in an instant! So a woman will always have one less pair of high heels in her shoe closet, even if it is uncomfortable to wear!
Originally, Guo Zhiyuan was going to invent high heels by the way after inventing the cheongsam, but he considered that he couldn't make too many things that didn't belong to this era at one time, so he put them on hold for the time being, but now Guo Zhiyuan is extremely glad that he was cautious at the beginning, if he got the high heels out at the beginning, where will he go to get something that can guarantee to impress Zheng Guifei now?
Guo Zhiyuan immediately brought all the skilled craftsmen in the workshop, drew a sketch of the high heels on the spot, and asked them to work overnight to customize a pair of high heels for Zheng Guifei.
So many skilled craftsmen rushed to work overnight, and it took three days to make the first pair of high heels in this era, Guo Zhiyuan did not worry about others to do this, so he had to work again Zhang Cheng rushed to the capital with this pair of unique high heels of this era, in addition to high heels, Guo Zhiyuan also let Zhang Cheng bring several issues of "Xingming Daily" that had been published, and finally had the opportunity to get close to Emperor Wanli, Guo Zhiyuan of course was not only satisfied with self-help, but also seized this opportunity to fight a beautiful turnaround! Otherwise, even if he retains his official position this time, if he is still an official under Qin Shou, he will still be subject to Qin Shou everywhere, and passive defense has never been Guo Zhiyuan's character, since Qin Shou has done something to himself, Guo Zhiyuan will not be able to swallow his anger, and he must be given a hard lesson.
Zhang Cheng also knew that the matter was big, and this matter was not only related to Guo Zhiyuan's fate, but also related to his own fate, and he didn't care about the hardships, so he hurried to the capital day and night again, and as soon as he arrived in the capital, he went to Miaoyifang to find Shen Yuniang, handed over the high heels to her, and at the same time told Shen Yuniang in detail what Guo Zhiyuan asked Shen Yuniang to bring to Zheng Guifei.
Originally, it was not so easy for Shen Yuniang to meet Zheng Guifei, but it happened that Zheng Guifei ordered a new cheongsam in Miaoyifang, and Shen Yuniang told the eunuch in the palace that Miaoyifang had a latest product to be dedicated to Zheng Guifei, so she was quickly summoned by Zheng Guifei.
When Shen Yuniang opened the jade box containing the high heels, Zheng Guifei's eyes were attracted by the pair of high heels inside, and she took out the high heels and played with them in her hand, and said in surprise: "What is this?" It's like shoes, but how can you walk with such a high heel? ……”
Shen Yuniang knew that Concubine Zheng Guifei would react like this, because she was also amazed when she saw this pair of high heels for the first time, so she smiled slightly and said: "This is the latest product launched by my wonderful clothing workshop, the only pair in the country, there is no second, my son-in-law specially instructed the slave maid to dedicate to the mother, saying that only the mother can be worthy of this shoe, the mother can wear a cheongsam and try it with this shoe, you will know the beauty of this shoe!" ……”
Zheng Guifei couldn't wait to change into a cheongsam, and then put on high heels, and immediately felt the magic of high heels, Zheng Guifei looked petite and exquisite, so her height was not high, which was also her disadvantage, but as soon as she put on high heels, her disadvantage was immediately made up, not only the height was immediately raised, but the body curve was immediately highlighted, and with the cheongsam that was already very figure-showing, Zheng Guifei, who was already very beautiful, became more and more amorous and had an outstanding temperament, Zheng Guifei naturally felt this magical change, kept walking back and forth in the palace in high heels, and asked the palace maids and eunuchs to quickly bring a large bronze mirror, looking at themselves in the bronze mirror, with a bright smile on their faces.
The evaluation of Zheng Guifei in the history books is very bad, and she is described as an unscrupulous and insidious woman who wants to help her son fight for the throne, and even blames her for not going to court for more than 20 years, saying that she used her beauty to bewitch Emperor Wanli. Even today, there are still a large number of historical researchers, whose views are still on the side of the Wenchen of the Wanli Dynasty four hundred years ago. It seems that Concubine Zheng Guifei was born to be a concubine who can be slaughtered by others, and should not have the idea of being a queen; Emperor Wanli was born to love and love Concubine Wang Gong, and there should be no true love.
