Chapter 384 intensifies

Wanli ordered the demotion of Wang Shixing not only did not calm the matter, but instead aroused the anger of the censors.

This is not bad, let people talk.

Is it the second Zhang Juzheng here?

Li Zhi, Huang Daxiao and others submitted memorials, saying that when the news came, the memorial was not allowed to report, and that the memorial was the power of the censor. We could not wait until others had already begun to rebel before we came to report, and the daylily was cold.

Shen Shixing was just a one-man statement. In the final analysis, Cheng Guishi did have some illegal actions at that time. There was a transaction between them, and the court had not investigated them in detail. If Wang Shi was found guilty of this, it would be difficult to convince the public.

Wanli felt that what they said was reasonable, so he ordered Wang Shixing not to leave the capital for the time being, but Wang Shixing was still removed from his post and allowed him to stay at home and not to go out for a walk.

The censors took advantage of the situation and sued Shen Shixing for forming cliques in the court for personal gain and self-discipline. There was nothing else about the reason, that is, Shen Shixing covered Cheng Guishi, and they already had the name of master and apprentice between them.

They didn't target Shen Shixing before. They were planning to encircle the circle, but now Shen Shixing has stood up, so let's take it seriously.

The two sides fought very lively in the court.

Those officials who once wanted to use this matter to target Guo Dan were so scared that they dared not speak out again. They didn't want to offend Shen Shixing. Moreover, they also felt that these censors were indeed a bit too much. They said they could deal with Guo Dan, but why did they go to deal with Shen Shixing again?

Xu Mengchong, the old fox, was even more straightforward and took sick leave directly and stayed home. This court was too dangerous. He also helped Wanli and Guo Dan take the blame several times before the blame came. This time, I took the lead before the blame came.

"This is not simple!"

Xu Mengcheng, who was sitting at home, frowned.

Xu Mao sighed: "The censor and the cabinet have always been in disagreement, but fortunately, he won't involve the master this time."

"Not necessarily." Xu Mengchong shook his head and said.

Xu Mao was a little stunned and said, "What do you mean by your master?"

Xu Mengchong said: "Before this, the Ministry of Revenue was preparing to review the accounts of Wei Hui Mansion, but after this incident came out, the matter was delayed. Now it would be difficult to review the accounts of Wei Hui Mansion. The cabinet may no longer support them."

Originally, the ministers were very united and all asked to review the Weihui Mansion, but once this matter came out, Shen Shixing and the others would definitely not support it anymore. Whether it was him or Wang Jiaping, their impression of Guo Dan was not that bad.

In addition, the initial rumor was that Guo Dan and Cheng Guishi colluded, why would Shen Shixing support them?

As the chief minister, Shen Shixing had a great influence on the six ministries. He did not nod, and the Ministry of Revenue would not require the review of Wei Hui Mansion's accounts, and the emperor did not want to.

Of course Xu Mao knew this, but at the same time he was very curious and asked: "Even so, what does this have to do with the master?"

Xu Mengshi said: "That boy Guo Dan is indeed smart and clever, but according to my understanding of him, he doesn't seem to understand this officialdom very much."

Xu Mao frowned and said, "Master, is this the eldest lady secretly helping her?"

Xu Mengchong nodded and said, "I still can't understand why that unfilial daughter would go to Yashang to help Guo Dan. She must have another idea."

During this period, Guo Dan stayed at Yashang honestly and didn't even go out because he was afraid that others would see him, and suddenly remembered why he was still romantic and happy outside.

Even though Yashang's stock price dropped from three or five cents to three or one cent, he did not move any action.

Fortunately, I was not very bored when I was in the tooth shop because I had Aunt Xu, the great beauty.

"No more."

Aunt Xu sat upright and shook her head.

Guo Dan said in surprise: "Why? It's just the next plate."

Aunt Xu smiled bitterly and said, "Your chess skills are far worse than I thought, and it's boring to play."

Guo Dan said depressedly: "Why do you have to say it so directly by lay people? Who has no weaknesses?"

“That’s the truth.”

Aunt Xu said, "You'd better go back and accompany you. I want to read books by myself."

Guo Dan said angrily: "I was driven by her from home just now. I stayed at home. She felt even worse. She thought that not only did she not share my worries, but also increased my burden. I was not able to explain to her what happened outside."

Aunt Xu nodded slightly and said, "But you won't be able to play chess. I'm not here to help you with your boredom."

But I spent money. Guo Dan muttered to himself, suddenly remembering something, and asked, "I am increasingly unable to understand Your Majesty's intentions. Your Majesty should support Shen Shixing. Supporting Shen Shixing is supporting us. Why did Your Majesty leave the king's character? Is the power of those censors so powerful?"

Aunt Xu smiled and said, "It's just a censor's confrontation with the cabinet. Many ministers don't want to participate. If Your Majesty doesn't take this step back, the matter will soon calm down. Then everyone will think of you and vent all their anger on you."

Guo Dan suddenly realized and said, "I understand, it turns out that Your Majesty is urging fire!"

Aunt Xu shook her head and said, "I didn't say that."

After saying that, she picked up a small notebook beside her and started reading it.

"I have no other meaning," Guo Tan muttered, suddenly looking at the small book, which didn't look like a book, and asked, "What are you reading?"

Aunt Xu said: "This is a medical book about gynecology written by my teacher."

“Gynecology?”

Guo Dan quickly asked, "I wonder who the layman's mentor is?"

He really has no confidence in medical skills these days!

Aunt Xu said, "Mr. Mizhai."

"Mr. Mizhai?"

Guo Dan thought for a while, shook his head and said, "About this doctor, I know Li Shizhen."

Aunt Xu said in surprise: "You know people from Binhushan?"

Guo Dan hurriedly said, "He doesn't know me."

Aunt Xu said, "Then you have just heard of it, how can you say you know it?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I've heard it." Guo Dan chuckled twice and asked again: "Does the layman know Li Shizhen?"

Aunt Xu nodded slightly.

"Wow!"

Guo Dan looked envious and asked again: "He is still alive now?"

Aunt Xu frowned and glanced at him, shook her head, stood up and said, "I'll go and see the shawl."

As she said that, she could go out.

"I can't ask?"

Guo Dan rolled his eyes and snorted: "It is because you people who are very esteemed and refuse to communicate with businessmen, but they don't know that without capital, this medical skill cannot be developed. When I make enough money, I want you to see what the magic of capital is."

In fact, the magic of capital has been radiated in Henan Road, especially Zhangde Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion. However, the magic of capital has been severely damaged by this magic of capital. Not only has the sharp decline in taxes, the supply of the vassal kings has become a problem. I don’t know how to explain to the court, but suddenly I heard the news that Cheng Guishi and Guo Dan of Daming Mansion were colluding with him. I was angry and also very happy.

So the prefects of Kaifeng Prefecture, Zhangde Prefecture and Huaiqing Prefecture immediately submitted a report to the court, suing Cheng Guishi and colluding with Guo Dan, winning people's hearts and destroying the national system, with misdeed intentions, and even led to the loss of the people in Kaifeng Prefecture, Zhangde Prefecture and Huaiqing Prefecture, and the tax revenue was sharply reduced. At the same time, the court requested the court to allocate grain to help the local vassal kings.

The water in the court was already muddy enough, and they inserted the rod into it, making the water even more muddy.

Because this also involved Guo Dan, and Guo Dan had never been involved before.

Since Guo Dan is involved, all parties have to think about it again.

After Wanli received this news, he immediately summoned Zhang Jing into the hall.

"Can the factory minister know the situation of Kaifeng Prefecture and Zhangde Prefecture?"

Wanli must ask the reason, whether it is really difficult or is he instructed to come and make trouble.

Zhang Jing said: "Report to Your Majesty, I have not known in advance that the three prefects reported to impeach Cheng Guishi and Guo Dan at the same time. However, I know a little about the situation in Kaifeng Prefecture and Zhangde Prefecture. There are indeed many people who go to Weihui Prefecture. If the people leave, the tax revenue will naturally be reduced."

As he said that, he secretly glanced at Wanli.

Wanli was silent.

Dong Pavilion.

"Prime Minister, what should I do?"

Wang Xijue looked at Shen Shixing with a tangled face.

In this way, it is equivalent to tying Guo Dan and Cheng Guishi together. Although they hate the verdicts, they do not want to help Guo Dan because most bureaucrats are dissatisfied with Guo Dan.

Shen Shixing frowned and thought for a while before saying, "If you go to Yang Mingshen, just tell him that our cabinet also believes that the affairs of Kaifeng Prefecture and Zhangde Prefecture are indeed related to Weihui Prefecture, which is understandable, but Cheng Guishi was absolutely innocent. If they wanted to sue together, we would never sit idly by."

Wang Xijue nodded slightly.

Shen Shixing's meaning is very simple, which means to be polite first and then soldiers. If you want to deal with Guo Dan, I don't care about you, but if you want to deal with Cheng Guishi, then I will never stand by. Once Cheng Guishi falls, it will be my turn next.

Yang Mingshen also wanted to deal with Guo Dan, because in his opinion, Guo Dan was a destroyer of etiquette and law and system. Now, when he saw Shen Shixing taking the initiative to show his kindness, he felt that this was an opportunity. Let's work together to deal with Guo Dan, which is great.

So he went to find Li Zhi and told Li Zhi what Shen Shixing meant.

After hearing this, Li Zhi immediately said, "Sir Yang, this is clearly Shen Shixing's delaying strategy. Can't you still see the matter? The one who really secretly colluded with Guo Dan was not Cheng Guishi, but Shen Shixing. Liu Magistrate Liu and others sued Guo Dan and Cheng Guishi. He couldn't slap this slap. If we don't tell Cheng Guishi, how can we sue Guo Dan?"

When Yang Mingshen heard this, he knew that there was no hope of persuasion and couldn't help feeling disappointed.

He was a little naive. The censors were different from what he thought. Guo Dan was annoying, but Guo Dan was just a small businessman after all. As long as he had no power, he could punish him every day. If he caught him once, he would die. Shen Shixing was different. Shen Shixing immediately let Wang Shixing stay at home.

These two evils are less important

On the pavilion behind Yunxia Temple, an old man and a young woman were sitting inside.

These two are Fang Fengshi and Aunt Xu.

"Hasn't the layman moved to the city?"

Fang Fengshi asked with a profound meaning.

Aunt Xu nodded and said, "Because I had agreed to go to Yinuoya Store to help Guo Dan, I moved to the city."

Fang Fengshi asked, "Why is this?"

Aunt Xu nodded and smiled, "When I explain the purpose of asking Secretary Fang to come today, Secretary Fang will understand it."

Fang Fengshi said: "In this way, the layman asked me to come today for Guo Dan?"

Aunt Xu shook her head and said, "I asked the Secretary of State to come today because it was for the vassal king."
