Back at Yaxing, Guo Dan told Kou Zhuansha everything that had just happened, he really didn't like to hide from each other between husband and wife, especially Kou Zhuansha was still his work partner.

In fact, Kou Liansha was also very curious, why did Aunt Xu sit here for a while, and then left with Guo Dan, could it be to fulfill the gambling contract?

But she really didn't expect Guo Dan to be so fierce, and went directly to Xing'anbo Mansion to seek the life of her parents and the words of the matchmaker.

Isn't this a door-to-door begging?

"Madam, you can rest assured this time." Guo said with a smile.

Kou Lian Shamu nodded, of course she was very satisfied with this solution, but she thought that Guo Dan was not kicked out, it was really a miracle, and she was curious: "In that case, why don't you be a favor and abolish this gambling contract." ”

Anyway, it is impossible for Xu Mengxi to agree, so why do you bother to do this, it is better to be a personal favor.

"It's different."

Guo Dan shook his head and said: "Abolishing it is not counting, but now, it is just an additional condition, if this condition is met, the layman still has to fulfill the agreement between us." ”

Kou Zhuansha was surprised: "Is there a way for the husband to be able to convince the uncle?" ”

Guo Dan shrugged and smiled: "Who knows." But no matter what, I can't just let her go, I'm not so generous, of course, she's not a generous person, she's still an old man. ”

Kou Zhuansha shook her head helplessly and said, "If the husband can convince the uncle, then I have no opinion." ”

An Aunt Xu and a Yang Feixu, she really didn't mind, because she thought that these two women could help Guo Dan, and Guo Dan also needed their help very much.

As she spoke, she remembered something again, "By the way, Zhou Feng and they have been here." ”

Guo Dan asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Kou Zhuansha smiled bitterly: "What else can it be, of course, about that edict, the whole capital is talking about it now." ”

Guo Dan said: "There is nothing to talk about in this matter, the key is action." ”

Now that the entire capital is paying attention to that sudden edict, only Guo Dan is still in the mood to entangle with Aunt Xu.

But for Guo Dan, this kind of thing should not be worried about him, he is only responsible for providing technical support and ensuring his own interests, as for how to promote reform, this is what Wanli should consider.

They are a combination of emperors and merchants, and they can't always work alone.

.......

Today's court meeting will surely go down in history, whether it is successful or not, because this is the first time in thousands of years that it has launched an impact on the precipitation and shackles of feudalism.

And the reason is very simple, that is, because the previous set is no longer in line with the interests of the emperor.

At least not in the interests of fat houses.

But the impact on the entire ruling class is really unimaginable, because the initiator is the boss of the ruling class.

After the end of the court, the government and the opposition were very quiet.

They will not be able to accept this for a while.

Not to mention how to deal with it.

After all, the bureaucracy is not monolithic.

There are very deep contradictions with each other, and they attack each other very strongly.

No one is convinced of anyone.

It was a plate of loose sand, so under the hammer of Wanli, they all felt very lost.

In fact, at this time, it is necessary for heroes to appear and lead them against the emperor, because most of them can't reach that level, and many of them can't even understand why the emperor is doing this.

But the hero .......!

The heroes have long been destroyed by themselves.

Originally, during the Zhang Juzheng period, the cabinet that unified the court had weakened a lot after the failure of the last reform, and they were unable to integrate the court at this time.

Even if they are strong, they will not do this, because there is a lack of trust between them, and if our cabinet stands up against the emperor, if you stab me in the back, then we will definitely die.

You officials have done this kind of thing.

However, most of the ministers actually supported the emperor.

After the court meeting ended, Shen Shixing, Xu Guo, and Wang Xijue quietly went to Shenfu.

"What can I do?" Xu Guo asked.

Shen Shixing didn't make a sound, but looked at Wang Xijue.

"In fact, we have forced His Majesty to this point step by step." Wang Xijue said bluntly: "If Your Majesty does not do this, this reform will not be able to be promoted in any way." ”

Xu Guodao: "Having said that, but... But His Majesty seems to have gone a little too haste, and if he did so, no one could have predicted the consequences, and it was very likely to cause unrest. ”

Wang Xijue said: "This should be interrupted, but it is chaotic, we just had too many worries before, resulting in nothing, Your Majesty is right, we were really not successful before, and we were more than defeated." ”

This time, he was a firm supporter of the emperor, because he had promoted reforms several times before and thought of various methods, but they were all unsuccessful, and he failed again and again, which also made him a little extreme.

He really felt that without that, it would be impossible to push for reform.

And the country does have a lot of problems, and it is in urgent need of reform.

Xu Guo glanced at the old man, knowing that he had been wronged over the years, but he didn't want to fight with him, so he looked at Shen Shixing.

Shen Shixing was silent for a while before he spoke: "Actually, Your Majesty also has good intentions!" In the last reform, His Majesty had high hopes for our cabinet, but the result was that we disappointed His Majesty, but His Majesty did not blame us and understood our suffering.

Therefore, His Majesty only established the Senate this time, Ke'er as the president, and Heng'er as the vice president, but after all, they are too young to be able to bear this beam, and we have to push them later, but they don't have so many worries about us, and they can alleviate a lot of worries for us. ”

Xu Guo nodded slightly.

Shen Shixing's words were very tactful, but he also hinted that he would fall to the emperor.

Because of Wanli's reform, in fact, they have always had ambitions, the only regret is that they can't come forward in person, and they have to borrow their juniors to promote, but this is not to blame Wanli, they can only blame themselves, and they want to show their ambitions, but they are afraid of their reputation.

They are actually grateful to Wanli in their hearts.

.....

Master of Ceremonies!

"Yo! It's Fang Shangshu, a rare guest, a rare guest. ”

Zhang Cheng came out of the door, and when he saw Fang Fengshi, he bowed his hand again and again.

"Courteous. Courteous. ”

Fang Fengshi returned the salute, and hurriedly asked, "Prime minister, didn't I hand over a fold a few days ago?" ”

Zhang Cheng was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes, our family remembered that Fang Shangshu wanted to return to his hometown." ”

Fang wanted to cry when he heard it, "I was sick and confused at that time, so... I haven't handed it in yet. ”

Zhang Cheng said: "I have already handed it over, and our family does not dare to delay the matter of this Fang Shangshu." ”

“......！”

Fang Fengshi suddenly looked desperate.

He really wanted to say goodbye to his hometown and return to his hometown, he had long wanted to leave, but because he had judged that there was still one battle to fight, so he stayed for an extra year, but where did he think about it, he also fought two battles, and he missed them perfectly, and the military department did not participate.

So he made up his mind to go home for the elderly this year, so he played Wanli and told the old man to return to his hometown, but this incident happened again, at this time, he resigned, what would the emperor think, I am here to promote reform, you actually resigned, you are going to do it against me.

Fang Shi didn't want to lose the festival and affect future generations.

Zhang Cheng said again: "However, Your Majesty did not approve it, Your Majesty hopes that Fang Shangshu will continue to stay in the court." ”

Wanli seemed to want to abolish the entire imperial court on the surface, but in fact it was not, he still left all the ministers he trusted, and let the cabinet push behind, it can be seen that Aunt Xu was right, the emperor did not want to plunge headlong into capital, but to adopt a new balance.

Fang Fengshi was about to cry when he heard it, and he hurriedly wanted to fold back, and then ran away.

This old man is really pitiful!

The timing was always not on his side.

.....

Wuqing Houfu.

"Huh...!"

Li Gao couldn't help but laugh when he learned everything that happened today.

Chen Yinzhao wondered: "Master Hou, are you still laughing at this time?" ”

"You don't know, I was also frightened before, thinking that His Majesty would have some peerless plan, but I never thought that it would be like this, hehe!"

"That's all?"

Chen Yinzhao asked, "Isn't that enough?" ”

"Of course it's not enough!"

Li Gao smiled and said: "If this tax can be collected so easily, then does Your Majesty still need to speak?" Zhang Juzheng collected it at the beginning, you see that Zhang Juzheng reformed at the beginning, but he did not target those royal relatives and local gentry, because he knew that he could not collect this tax, if he did so, it would only lead to the failure of his reform, and even Zhang Juzheng could not collect the tax, can he collect it with those few little babies? ”

Chen Yinzhao said: "But Hou Ye should not forget Guo Dan, he can abolish the tax-free privilege in the four mansions of Henan." ”

Li Gao said: "That's because Guo Dan brought them more wealth, but there are so many gentry, nobles, and even vassal kings in the world, Guo Dan has not contracted those state capitals, how can he be satisfied one by one, and those people have been entrenched in the local area for hundreds of years, they will not be able to pay taxes, in addition, those big generals in the nine towns of the border army, how much land they have, you should know better than me, you wait and see, once the reform is started, the whole country will be chaotic." ”

Chen Yinzhao nodded and said: "That's true, reforms are often very smooth in the early stage, but once they arrive at the local level, there will definitely be problems." ”

Since ancient times, the imperial power has not been lower than the county, and the grassroots has always been controlled by the gentry, so the emperor must give the gentry privileges in exchange for their support, those gentry are all tax-exempt households, they are either officials who have retired from the court, at least they are also famous.

In addition, there are also vassal kings, nobles, and general soldiers, who are either relatives of the emperor, or after meritorious service, or they are large general soldiers who hold military power.

Your emperor has pushed them all to the opposite side at once, which is actually very dangerous.

When Li Gao heard that the emperor was going to do this, he was relieved, you can't succeed.

.......

At the same time, a very important negotiation is underway overseas, although few people in the Ming Dynasty are interested in this negotiation, but in fact, this negotiation will directly affect the Wanli New Deal.

The Frangi invaded Tainan and met with stubborn resistance, and they soon learned that this army was not a ragtag army, but an elite division sent by Japan.

This was a bit unexpected for them, but they did not intend to give up, if the Japanese controlled the entire Penghu area, it would be equivalent to containing them, and just as they were about to send more troops from Luzon, the bad news suddenly came, Luzon was captured by the Ming army.

Martin almost didn't faint.

As soon as this Luzon was lost, they suddenly became a lone army.

These two ends do not land, how is it good!

And at this time, the Japanese side suddenly threw an olive branch, let's talk about it.

Martin is certainly willing to talk.

Dog Harbor.

"Governor, what he means is that they Japan will send troops to help us retake Luzon, and they will occupy Penghu. And soon, they Japan will send 100,000 troops to attack the Ming from Korea. At that time, it is also hoped that we can help them attack the Ming from the south, forming a two-sided attack, and once the Ming is eliminated, they promise to give us the whole of Fuzhou. ”

An interpreter addressed Governor Martin.

Martin glanced at Governor Konishi, who was sitting opposite, and said to the translator, "You ask him, why do I believe that they can destroy the Ming Dynasty?" ”

After the translation was finished, Governor Konishi immediately said: "Although our country is small, but the army is strong and strong, and we are united, and my lord has experienced a hundred battles, and is eloquent and strategic, on the other hand, the Ming Dynasty and Korea, the emperor is mediocre, the military and political corruption, and the country is closed, arrogant, if the governor does not believe it, in the war to help the governor recapture Luzon, I will immediately prove this, the Ming army is by no means the opponent of our army, and its coastal defense is even more vulnerable." ”

After the translation, a general beside Martin said: "Your Excellency, the combat effectiveness of their army is indeed much stronger than the Ming army we encountered before. ”

Martin nodded, in fact, he didn't have much choice, at this time they could only cooperate with Japan.

Just then, an officer walked in and whispered a few words in Martin's ear.

Martin's expression changed slightly, and he muttered a little, and then said to the translator: "You tell him that I am very willing to cooperate with them in Japan, but I still have to think about it." ”

Governor Konishi was slightly disappointed, he came here in person, he was completely sure, he thought that there was no way out for the Franciscan, and now when he heard Martin say this, he thought in his heart that this Francosis might have to bargain with him. I can't help but be a little annoyed, you lost dogs, how can you be qualified to bargain with me.

However, he did not show it, but readily agreed.

It's up to anyone who can afford it.

But he never expected that not long after he left, Martin secretly met with a Ming citizen named Shen Weijing.

"Shen Weijing has seen Mr. Martin."

Shen Weijing said in a very rough Franc language.

It's rough, but it's still much taller than Yukinaga Konishi.

Although Shen Weijing is good at opportunism, he actually works harder than anyone else, and he has been working hard to learn Franco's language since he learned about Guo Dan's overseas plans.

But Martin was very unhappy when he heard this, and asked, "Mr. Shen, why don't you call me Lord Governor?" ”

Shen Weijing replied, "Because you are no longer the governor of Luzon. ”
