Chapter 124: Fatal Strike (Asking for Subscription, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
You don't need to make a decision now, after all, this investment is not small, and we also need to make some adjustments first, even if you agree now, it is impossible to sign a contract immediately, we can negotiate this matter slowly, and you can also consider it carefully after you go back. I still have some things to deal with temporarily, so I'll miss out first. β
After speaking, Guo Dan asked Kou Yi to greet these businessmen, and he went out of the lobby through the side door.
"Husband."
As soon as he came out of the Tang Dynasty, Kou Zhuansha called him softly, but she had been standing behind and listening, and asked nervously, "What's wrong?" β
At this time, a little wind and grass is enough to make her nerves tense, and she still hasn't gotten used to this atmosphere.
"It's not a big deal, it seems to mean that the little uncle and they fought with Li Shouqi again." Guo Dan shook his head and said.
Kou Liansha frowned and said, "They often fight and fight, why is the husband so anxious?" β
Guo Dan smiled bitterly: "I'm not in a hurry about this, it's just that Xing'an Bo is here, and I have to go out to meet him." β
Kou Zhuan Sha was stunned and said, "In this way, this matter is not so simple. β
Guo Dan nodded slightly, and said, "But I don't think it's much bigger." β
Kou Liansha said worriedly: "Husband, it's better for you to be cautious." β
"Hmm."
Guo Dan nodded slightly.
When I got out the back door, I saw a horse-drawn carriage parked in the alley behind.
Guo Dan didn't say a word and got into the carriage, but said to Xu Mengxi with an anxious face: "Uncle, little uncle, are they okay?" β
"A few little babies punch each other twice, what can happen." Saying that, Xu Mengxi snorted and said sadly: "And that son of a son can be regarded as experienced in a hundred battles." β
This old man has such a good sense of humor. Guo Dan smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, Uncle doesn't know, Fang Cai really scared me to death." β
"Really?"
Xu Mengxi obviously didn't believe it.
Guo Dan said tentatively: "Really, really, I also know that the little uncle is experienced in a hundred battles, but this time it disturbed the uncle, I really thought they were seriously injured at the time." β
Xu Mengxi laughed twice: "Don't worry about them now, you should worry about yourself first." β
Guo Dan was stunned and said, "What does Uncle mean by this?" β
Xu Mengxi suddenly looked at Guo Dan with a puzzled face, and said: "Guo Dan, the old man used to see that you were very clever, so he recommended you to His Majesty, but now it seems that the old man has lost his eyes, and you kid is really not clever at all." The old man asks you, why did you offend those officials at the canonization ceremony that day. β
Of course, it's to hug the thighs, is it to pretend to be B. Guo sighed lightly: "I don't want to do this, uncle, you really don't know, I don't know that Jiang Zhishi, and I won't have any intersection, but he scolded me once when he saw me, I also came out of my mother's womb, and I also have self-esteem." β
"What are you doing, they even scolded the cabinet ministers." Xu Mengxi snorted, and said: "Do you know that even the ministers of the DPRK and the central government are evasive to them, and stay away, you are good, and you took the initiative to go up and provoke them, and now you have a big disaster." β
Guo Dan blinked and said, "Uncle, don't scare me, I just said a few words, it shouldn't be so exaggerated." β
"Not that exaggerated?"
Xu Mengxi laughed twice: "Do you know why Rong'er fought with Li Shouqi and them before?" β
Guo Dan shook his head and said, "They have always had grievances, and I heard that they often beat each other. β
"This time it's not that simple." Xu Mengxuan said: "The reason why Rong'er fought with them was because Li Shouqi scolded them at the door of the Three Musketeers, saying that the Three Musketeers were filthy places, and they were doing some chaotic things, and asked for the Three Musketeers to be seized, so Rong'er fought with them." β
Speaking of this, he said in a low voice: "Although there is a grudge between them, this time, as far as the old man knows, it is because Jiang Yinglan has released news that the album made by the Three Musketeers spreads yinhui thoughts, so Li Shouqi and they dare to come to the door to provoke." β
Guo Dan frowned and said, "It's me who offended them, why should they go to trouble the Three Musketeers!" If you have the ability, you are coming for me! β
Xu Mengxi snorted: "Do you think they are all a group of brave and ruthless people, who only know the courage of a puppet, when they play tricks, you are not yet born." They're still here for you, think about it, what are the Three Musketeers doing now? But in the production of the canonization ceremony album, now they are tying yinhui's hat on the head of the three musketeers, you want to launch the canonization ceremony album again, wouldn't it be a shame for the royal family, and it will also make the new imperial concubine make the world laugh, this consequence is not something you can bear. β
Guo Dan's eyes widened, and he gradually reached the seriousness of the matter.
Xu Mengxi sighed: "You have to know that originally you were a small tooth merchant who participated in this canonization ceremony, and also let the businessmen mix in, which already caused their dissatisfaction, but at that time they didn't want to waste too much energy on you, so they didn't stop it, but now you take the initiative to provoke them, you offend not only the officials, but all the civil officials and scholars, they want to say that you are yihui thought, then you are not too." β
This is by no means alarmist, although there are newspapers now, but they are official newspapers, and the Ming Dynasty does not allow private newspapers, which leads to public opinion being controlled by the entire civil and official group, after all, there are few literate people in these years, so they can only listen to them.
Guo Dan frowned, his face sad.
This hit him really on the seventh inch.
He still thought it was too simple before, thinking that as long as he hugged Wanli's fat legs, then he didn't have to be afraid of anything, but he really didn't expect that the other party would focus his firepower on the Three Musketeers.
And now the Three Musketeers are the heart of Guo Dan's entire plan, and there can be no mistakes.
If the Three Musketeers fall, then everything is over.
You must know that now is only the perfect end of the canonization ceremony, but for Guo Dan, he is still on the road to repay his debts.
The reason why those merchants were willing to donate so much money before was because they hoped that the Three Musketeers would help them advertise in the name of the canonization ceremony, and the Three Musketeers also invested a lot of money in it.
First of all, Wanli will definitely not allow the publication of the album of the canonization ceremony.
Secondly, those businessmen will definitely not give up, but the money has already entered Wanli's pocket, and Wanli will definitely not spit it out.
In the end, Guo Dan's shareholding plan is ironclad bankrupt, and he will pay back 100,000 taels, even if it is one or two, I am afraid that no one will want it.
If this is the case, the gods will not be able to save it.
It can be seen that Guo Dan still doesn't know much about the Ming Dynasty, and he also underestimates those who read.
Those civil officials, scholars, and scholars usually speak better than they sing, but if you really step on their tails, they will not repay their grievances with virtue, and those words are fooled by the ruling class, if they really offend their core interests, then they will definitely bite you to death.
Guo Dan entered the palace as a businessman, which made them very unhappy, which was actually touching their core interests, but at that time, Wanli and Guo Dan were under the guise of reducing financial pressure and having fun with the people, and they were unwilling to prevent Wanli from canonizing the imperial concubine on this basis.
However, Guo Dan also sarcastically ridiculed them that day, the hearts and minds of these officials and imperial historians are actually not much different from eunuchs, if you Guo Dan are not killed, they will definitely not give up.
The key is that this group of people is not mediocre, and mediocre people really can't get along in this Ming Dynasty court, because the forces in the Ming Dynasty are very complex, there is no black and white at all, all are gray areas, the cabinet is not necessarily positive, the eunuchs are not necessarily negative, and the struggle between them is intricate, the emperor is a little unclear, and there has never been a moment of rest, they are all experienced in a hundred battles.
It was only a day's work, and they found Guo Dan's seven inches, because they also knew that the emperor wanted to protect Guo Dan, as long as Guo Dan himself did not die, they had no way to take Guo Dan for the time being, but if they attacked the Three Musketeers, they could make Guo Dan in a dilemma, and he would die alive in this matter.
Guo Dan really didn't expect them to be so excited, and sneered angrily: "They are really powerful, the dignified court officials, they actually joined forces to deal with my little tooth merchant." β
Xu Mengxi glared at him and said, "It wasn't just him Jiang Yinglan that you offended that day. β
Guo Dan glanced at it, and suddenly smiled: "Uncle is here today to draw a line with me." β
Xu Mengxuan suddenly showed embarrassment, sighed and said: "Guo Dan, this matter is indeed like this, the old man is indeed responsible, and the old man also wants to help you, but they are those people, the old man can't afford to provoke them, and now they are still open to the old man, and the old man is not involved, if the old man doesn't withdraw in time, I'm afraid that they will also connect the old man to deal with it, and the old man is an official of the imperial court, this is a little careless, the consequences are unimaginable, the old man doesn't take the inheritance of my Xu family for several generations to gamble." β
Speaking of this, he paused and said, "But the old man will not let Rong'er and them close the Three Musketeers immediately, the old man hopes that you can take over the Three Musketeers immediately." β
He was really very afraid of this, otherwise he would have given the money directly to Wanli in front of him, instead of pushing Guo Dan out.
Because those Yanguan Yushi were pressed enough by Zhang Juzheng, they have been struggling to live at the bottom, and now Zhang Juzheng can be regarded as dead, and he has also suffered from the emperor's liquidation, these Yanguan Yushi can also be regarded as turning over, all of them are like the bloodthirsty mad dogs, if they are provoked, it is really a terrible thing.
Guo said lightly: "It seems that my uncle thinks I am dead." β
Xu Mengxuan shook his head and said: "That's not it, after all, with Your Majesty protecting you, they want your life, and they can't do it, but that's it, it's impossible for you to win, according to the old man's opinion, Your Majesty is unlikely to help you out." β
Guo Dan frowned and said, "Could it be that even Your Majesty is afraid of them?" β
Xu Mengxi smiled bitterly: "I can't talk about fear, but... But Your Majesty is very weak in the face of them now, just like those officials who were forbearant of you at the beginning, because at that time they were trying their best to prevent Your Majesty from ordaining the imperial concubine, they just didn't want to be pulled by Your Majesty to your matter, and now Your Majesty may be the same, if Your Majesty stands up for you, then those officials will definitely take out the matter of the imperial concubine again, which will make Your Majesty very passive, and the gains outweigh the losses. β
"That means I'm on my own." Guo said lightly.
Xu Mengxi nodded.
"I've always been on my own." Guo Dan laughed at himself, and said: "But I'm still very grateful to my uncle, if my uncle wants to close the Three Musketeers, then I'll really be finished, but I can't take out so much money to buy the Three Musketeers now." β
Xu Mengxi immediately said, "The old man gave it to you." β
Guo Dan was stunned for a moment and said, "This... How embarrassing is that. β
Xu Mengxi said with guilt on his face: "This can be regarded as a little compensation from the old man to you!" β
Guo smiled lightly: "When Uncle said this, I took it very comfortably." It also reminds me of a wise saying. β
Xu Mengxi was curious: "What is the wise saying?" β
Guo Dan smiled and said: "Saiong lost his horse, and he didn't know if it was a blessing." β
