Love Concubine. ”

Wanli looked at Zheng with a very nervous expression, and asked in a low voice, "Aifei, are you confused?" ”

Zheng Shi looked at Wanli's nervous expression, felt both moved and funny, and said angrily: "The concubine wants to be confused, but the more angry she is, the more sober she becomes, which is really annoying." ”

Wanli Fox said suspiciously: "Since Concubine Ai is not confused, why do you want Guo Dan to be Xun'er's teacher?" Although Guo Dan is clever, he is just a businessman in the end, and his knowledge is only a child, how can he be a teacher, let alone be a teacher for the prince. ”

Zheng pouted and said: "But Your Majesty has just agreed to the concubine, and you want to get it according to the concubine's wishes, does Your Majesty want to regret it, this gentleman has no joke." ”

"No... I'm not trying to regret it, I just can't understand it. Wanli said with a puzzled expression.

Let Guo Dan go to Zhu Changxun as a teacher, isn't this the legendary self-abandonment?

Zheng said: "What is incomprehensible about this, the concubines think that Guo Dan is much stronger than those ministers, and those officials who are not well governed can get the state capital, and under Guo Dan's governance, they will soon be able to recover, isn't this just knowledge?" If you can read thousands of books, but you can't even govern a small county town, then what's the use of this knowledge? ”

Wanli listened and felt that it was not completely unreasonable.

It's kind of like that.

Zheng snorted softly: "Besides, those ministers have always criticized our mother and son, they look down on our mother and son, and the concubines should also look down on them, so the concubines will not beg them." ”

"Aifei, you are vindictive!"

Wanli said distressedly.

Although Zheng was not unreasonable, he always felt that it would be shameful to ask a businessman to be a teacher for his son.

"The concubine is definitely not vindictive."

Zheng said: "The concubines are really not worried about letting them teach Xun'er, besides, if Your Majesty also gives Xun'er the education of the crown prince, I am afraid that they will make trouble again, which will increase Your Majesty's distress, invite a businessman to be a teacher for Xun'er, they will have nothing to say." ”

"You... This.... ”

Wanli was very depressed when he heard it, and he felt that he was quite useless.

Because Zheng said that this situation is really possible.

Zheng took Wanli's arm again and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, you promised your concubine." ”

"I..."

Wanli still couldn't believe it, and asked again: "Aifei, I ask you again, do you really want to ask Guo Dan to be Xun'er's teacher?" ”

Zheng nodded very seriously.

Wanli said: "It's not angry words? ”

"It's not."

Zheng shook his head.

"That..."

Wanli said: "Okay, I'll ask Guo Dan." ”

Zheng sighed faintly: "If Guo Dan doesn't want to be a teacher for Xun'er, then... Alas.... ”

"Concubine Ai, please rest assured, Guo Dan will never refuse." Wanli hurriedly patted his chest and promised.

If he can't even do that, he'll just die.

It doesn't make much sense for this emperor to be in front of him.

He just always had some doubts about this matter, because the ancients had great respect for teachers, so not everyone could be a teacher.

But Zheng wasn't really joking, nor was he impulsive.

In fact, she has been paying attention to Guo Dan for a long time, after all, Guo Dan has robbed her father of her father's interests in Liaodong's armament.

At that time, Zheng Chengxian asked her for help euphemistically, but she refused.

First of all, she knew that Wanli was already risking the world's condemnation to keep Zheng Chengxian at that time, and it was not easy, if Wanli was still on that matter and fought with the ministers, it might be a complete loss.

Secondly, Guo Dan's appearance also made her see a glimmer of light.

She knew that if she wanted to be in power, she would definitely have the support of the outer court, but the reaction of the outer court made her very desperate, the entire bureaucracy was against her, and she was against him with her life, whether Wanli was killed or degraded, the will of the ministers was unwavering, and no one supported her.

She couldn't win it either.

In desperation, Guo Dan appeared, Guo Dan is not an official, nor a eunuch, Guo Dan represents the merchant class, but he can contract the four mansions and has very strong strength.

However, Guo Dan also faces pressure from the entire bureaucracy.

Guo Dan wanted to get more, which was also intolerable to the religion and was opposed by the entire bureaucracy.

It's very similar to her

And this time out of the palace, Guo Dan gave her great respect, it can be seen that Guo Dan doesn't care about etiquette and etiquette, she hopes to get Guo Dan's support.

Although this friend is more offbeat, it is better than not having any friends.

But her thoughts, Wanli is difficult to understand.

Although Wanli and Zheng have the same goal, the situation they face is still different.

After all, Wanli is the monarch, and his relationship with the minister is by no means one of enemies and friends, but the relationship between the monarch and the minister is the mainstay, and no one can do without anyone.

And what Zheng is facing is a relationship between friends and enemies, and she can't afford to lose.

But no matter what, Wanli still feels quite guilty, if even this humble request can't satisfy the concubine, then this emperor really has nothing to do.

In the evening of the same day, Wanli asked Guo Dan to accompany him for a walk.

"Guo Dan, what do you think about the matter of Lichu?"

Wanli asked suddenly.

Guo Dan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Although the lowly position does not understand this, but the lowly position can have everything today, and it is all taken care of by His Majesty, and the lowly position is of course unconditionally supporting His Majesty's decision." ”

Wanli nodded with a smile, and then sighed with emotion: "It would be nice if everyone thought like you." ”

Guo Dan thought to himself, everyone is in a different position, and the ideas are naturally different, this ass determines the head, if I am the first assistant, I will definitely oppose it, if I don't object, I will have to go into the wild, but I am just a businessman, and businessmen should be oblivious to profit, which they can understand, and they will not care.

Wanli suddenly asked again: "By the way, have you ever taken the Xiucai exam?" ”

Guo Dan thought for a while and said, "I passed the exam, but I didn't pass the exam." ”

He has already taken the Tongsheng exam, how can he not go to the Xiucai exam.

Wanli said: "You must have done it on purpose." ”

"Deliberately?"

Guo Dan was stunned, and then said with a haha: "Your Majesty has won the award, in fact, it can't be said that it is deliberate, it just says that you haven't worked hard, after all, my father doesn't want to be humble and become an official." ”

I wondered why I suddenly brought up this stubble.

Wanli smiled slightly: "I believe in you, this smart person can succeed in anything, you are from a talented family, you are forced to engage in business, you can achieve such success, I believe that if you work hard to take the exam, you will definitely be able to pass the exam, so you can memorize the "University" to me first." ”

"Endorsement?"

Guo Dan almost didn't bite his tongue.

Kill me.

Wanli waved his hand and said: "It's not an endorsement, it's just that I have a lot of Yaxing today, and I want to discuss knowledge with you, so let's memorize it." ”

Carry your sister, is Lao Tzu like an endors? Guo Dan scolded angrily in his heart, only to feel that Wanli is becoming more and more perverted, but no matter how perverted, he is also the emperor, let alone let you endorse, even if you take off your pants, you have to take it off, stammered: "Great... The way of the university is in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in being in the ....... ”

He really hasn't memorized "University", at most he just fell asleep with that book, completely relying on Guo Dan's memories before, but those memories are getting more and more blurred, and he has to think desperately.

Wanli looked at him "in" for a long time, and didn't come out of a "presence", and asked worriedly: "You... You can't even memorize "University"? ”

Guo Dan's face turned red in embarrassment, and said, "Your Majesty, I haven't read the Four Books and Five Classics for a long, long time, this... Hehe.... ”

Wanli saw that he was sweating profusely, not like he was lying, and there was no need to lie, there were more people who could recite "University", which didn't prove anything, and he couldn't help but feel sad.

What a headache!

But he had already promised the Zheng family, if he couldn't do it again, then he couldn't live this day, he thought, don't care about it for now, let Guo Dan nominally be Xun'er's teacher, and I will find another famous teacher to teach Xun'er.

He glanced at Guo Dan and said, "Guo Dan, you can't even memorize "University", how can you convince the public when you are in the academy then." ”

It turned out that he was worried about it. Guo Dan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please ......." ”

As soon as he spoke, he was interrupted by Wanli, "But don't worry, I will help you." ”

Guo Dan was stunned and said, "How does Your Majesty plan to help the lowly position?" ”

Wanli said: "I will let you be the teacher of the third prince of the emperor, so that you can be justified." ”

Guo Dan seemed to have been struck by lightning, and he was stunned.

Wanli smiled and said, "Isn't it very exciting, but you don't need to thank me, you have done so much for me, and I should also give you some help." ”

I thank you for your ancestors for eighteen generations. Guo Dan was stunned suddenly, came back to his senses, and said, "Your Majesty, you must be joking." ”

Wanli's expression narrowed, and he said solemnly: "You don't have any jokes, besides, it is impossible for me to joke with the prince." ”

"That..."

Guo Dan was like a monk who was at a loss, and he was so anxious that he was about to cry, "Your Majesty, you don't even dare to teach your own son with this bit of knowledge, how can you be the prince's teacher, and ask Your Majesty to take back your life." ”

Yes! He didn't even dare to teach his own son, but I asked him to be a teacher for the prince, what kind of thing is this! Wanli was about to cry, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "Don't worry, I just let you build the academy more justifiably, as for the prince's studies, naturally you don't have to worry about it." ”

Guo Dan said excitedly: "Your Majesty, how can you deal with those people, you have your own way." ”

"You know what."

Wanli snorted: "This is a teacher who is very particular about the right words, you are a child to open an academy, it will definitely be criticized, if you are the prince's teacher, who dares to question you, this matter has been decided, you hurry up and thank you." ”

He didn't want to dwell on it anymore, he was afraid that he would really change his mind.

"Thanks... Shane? ”

"Huh?"

"Bow to the emperor."

Guo Dan choked up.

Wanli saw his tears flashing, and said, "You don't need to be so moved, I should do it for you." Hehe. ”

Am I moved?

Are you blind? I'm clearly in pain!

Oh, my God!
