Chapter 1052 The battle for reputation
Sleeping on firewood and tasting gall!
It can also be explained as helplessness under anger.
Although Shen Shixing was unwilling to do so, he had no choice but to do anything about it.
The key is that Guo Dan's irony was very acknowledged in his heart. This way of being an official has hindered their officials from moving towards success. It can even be said that the way of being an official has caused them to suffer humiliation now.
The essence of the examination method is to solve the disadvantages brought about by this official career.
However, Guo Dan didn't care about their sleeping on firewood and tasting gall, because the entire Ming Dynasty is now developing in his rhythm. When Guo Dan competed with the bureaucratic group, it was this rhythmic battle. At this time, he had achieved a decisive victory. At this rhythm, he was at ease!
He hummed a small song and returned to Yaxing. He came to the office. He saw Aunt Xu, Kou Weisha and Zhu Yaoyao three beauties sitting on the sofa, drinking tea and chatting.
"When will the lady move here?"
Guo Dan sat next to Aunt Xu and raised her hand very naturally to hold her shoulders.
Zhu Yaoyi, who was opposite, felt a little blushed for some reason, and seemed to feel a little embarrassed.
On the contrary, Aunt Xu said openly: "When Rong'er comes back, I will move over again. I'm not very relieved that Dad is at home alone."
After saying that, she raised her arm and slapped Guo Dan's hand on her shoulder.
Guo Dan quickly retracted his hand, it hurt a little, hehe, "I'll send someone to urge my uncle."
Kou Weisha pursed her lips and smiled, even gloating. Of course, she knew that the two had sex, but she not only didn't care, but was happy. Personally, she also needed Aunt Xu to share the pressure from all aspects.
Especially now that Yinuoyaxing has grown into a giant, she is really unable to do anything alone, especially for business matters, and of course, it also includes the pressure of inheriting the family line.
Aunt Xu looked at Guo Dan again and asked, "I heard that the cabinet plans to re-activate Jiang Yinglin and Xue Wenqing?"
Guo Dan nodded and said, "It's so abominable. They also regard this as a kind of favor to me and attempt to assign Tang Wenxian and Yang Daobin to take over. It's really whimsical."
Aunt Xu asked, "You didn't let them succeed?"
"Of course not."
Guo Dan shook his head and said, "The President of the Litigation Court is one of the three major managers of Weihui Mansion. If it is assigned by the cabinet, Weihui Mansion will be the cabinet. I doubted whether Shen Shixing's brain was broken at that time."
Kou Weisha frowned slightly and said, "Husband."
"Sorry! Sorry!"
Guo Dan raised his hands slightly and said, "I just think that if I don't explain this, it can only be explained that they regard me as a mentally retarded."
Aunt Xu said: "I don't think they are going to take back Wei Hui Mansion in this way, but to take care of the face of the officials."
"The face of an official?"
Guo Dan laughed.
Aunt Xu pursed her lips and smiled, "But you did it right. Maybe they were just for the sake of all their faces at this time, but who can guarantee that they will not interfere with Weihui Mansion."
Guo Dan smiled and said, "But I am worried about this. At this point, they still want to be ashamed of their face and do not urinate on themselves. They recognize themselves. If they hadn't been self-righteous at the beginning, my success might have been a few years later."
Kou Weisha asked, "Husband, will President Xue and President Jiang leave Weihui Mansion cause harm to Weihui Mansion?"
Guo Dan shook his head and said, "Don't worry, now our Weihui Mansion is full of talents, and many people are ready to take over and are waiting for them to leave."
Kou Weisha said: "But if this situation continues to happen, will many people use Wei Hui Mansion to obtain official positions?"
“There will definitely be.”
Guo Tan smiled and said, "But I like this kind of mutual utilization relationship. If they want to borrow Wei Hui Mansion to take office, then first of all, they must perform well in Wei Hui Mansion, which is enough."
"But this will cause the loss of talent."
"Madam, the key to Weihui Mansion has never been the talents you mentioned, and the Third Academy has never been the protagonist. They are just auxiliary players. The protagonists have always been those merchants. As long as the merchants are not lost and the prosperity of Weihui Mansion has not declined, then Weihui Mansion's talents will be inexhaustible and use them inexhaustible, because the world is prosperous and prosperous for profit."
Guo Dan spread her hands slightly.
Just then, a Jinyiwei suddenly walked in and handed a secret letter: "Consultant Guo, this is just sent from Lu Wang Mansion."
Guo Dan took it, took it apart, and suddenly laughed.
Aunt Xu asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Guo Dan said: "The letter said that Japan plans to send a fleet to block our waterway to North Korea while Tianjin Port is frozen."
Kou Weisha and Zhu Yaoma were a little panicked when they heard this.
Aunt Xu wondered, "What's so funny about this?"
Guo Tan said: "Isn't it ridiculous that this ant wants to block the elephant's path?"
Aunt Xu said: "But this is enough to prove that Japan is very likely to invade North Korea next year."
Guo Dan said: "What a coincidence. My Ming Dynasty also needs this battle. Now the northwest is very harmonious, and the southern forces have been integrated, leaving only the northeastern side. Therefore, we need this battle to integrate the northeastern forces, but... but this may also be the most rare battle."
In history, Japan urgently needed to fight this battle. Because Japan's territory was narrow, Toyotomi Hideyoshi could not provide much land to reward the three armies, so he had to expand externally. This is why after Penghu, he insisted on invading the Ming Dynasty.
But the Ming Dynasty also needs this battle now, because the Ming Dynasty will eventually project its power overseas. Before that, if it can integrate surrounding forces, it will undoubtedly solve its worries.
Now only the northeast is left.
Relatively speaking, this is also the most difficult battle. The Dongwu area there is just some great chieftains or vassal lords. In addition, the geographical environment there is not a climate. The key to victory or defeat depends entirely on the attitude of the Ming Dynasty.
The northwest faces only some small tribes. The only large tribe, the Tumote tribe, has a very good relationship with the Ming Dynasty. Now that the two sides have established many commercial cooperations, they are almost indistinguishable from you and me. However, Northeast Asia includes Japan, North Korea, Jurchens, and Tatars. It is difficult to distinguish between enemies and friends, and the situation is extremely complicated.
But no matter how complex it is, it is not as complicated as the internal complexity of the Ming Dynasty.
The only enemy of the empire is the empire itself. Apart from committing suicide, no one can shake the Ming Dynasty at present.
Therefore, for the Ming Dynasty, the internal affairs are always the most important.
Especially since the Ming Dynasty is in a period of great change, the social structure has changed for the first time, who still has the time to pay attention to Japan?
Shen Shixing, the old fox, did not tell the truth to everyone, but focused the meeting on the imperial examination, which was discussed very little at the meeting. He did not say that Guo Dan prevented the imperial examination from appointing officials to take over, but said that Guo Dan did not trust Tang Wenxian and Yang Daobin, which extended it to Guo Dan's distrust of the imperial examination, and satirized the imperial examination, believing that those Jinshi were all unworthy of their names, had no real talent and knowledge, and were seeking fame and reputation, and were unable to occupy a place in Weihui Mansion.
If Wang Xijue can be sent, it would be a barely force.
This offended all the Jinshi in the world again.
The officials in the court were also very angry.
They are all from Jinshi!
Tang Wenxian, Yang Daobin was young and energetic, and had a little arrogant personality. When he heard these news, he immediately submitted his resignation and firmly demanded that he would become the president of the Weihui Prefecture Litigation Court based on his own ability.
The scholars and officials in the court all supported them very much.
It was originally a political struggle, and the old fox, Shen Shixing, had a good operation, and it turned into a reputation dispute. This is the most untolerant thing for scholars in the world. You can say that we are poor, and we all recognize that except the emperor, who is comparable to you, Guo Dan, is poor.
But you can't say we are unlearned.
Not only that, many scholars and officials and great scholars also asked to send more than two people to Weihui Mansion, and a large number of Jinshi were sent to Weihui Mansion. Didn’t you say that you should learn based on your real talent? Well, let’s take down the entire Weihui Mansion based on your real talent and learning.
And this is exactly what Shen Shixing hopes to see.
Because in this way, before the result came out, the officials did not lose face. The argument was not about learning from Wei Hui Mansion, but about whether the Jinshi had real talents and knowledge, and whether they had them. They had to compete to find out that if Tang Wenxian and Yang Daobin succeeded, they would be able to slap Guo Dan in the face.
Guo Dan knew that Shen Shixing was playing tricks, but he did not deny it. He just looked down on you. This is a fact and there is nothing to deny.
At the same time, Shen Shixing secretly sent Zhang Heming to lobby Xue Wenqing and Jiang Yinglin.
Jiang Yinglin still wanted to come out, and he still had ambitions in his heart, but Xue Wenqing really didn't want to, because he was pursuing selflessness. He had seen through the essence of the officialdom and believed that it was impossible to be selfless in that kind of place!
Wei Hui Mansion.
"Jiangxi Governor? This official is quite a small one!"
Xue Wenqing bowed and said, "Thank you for your love, but I am not interested in it. You should choose someone else."
Zhang Heming said in great surprise: "Does this Jiangxi governor is not as good as a small director of Weihui Mansion in your opinion?"
Xue Wenqing was furious when he heard this and looked at Zhang Heming contemptuously: "In my opinion, comparing the Jiangxi Provincial Administration and the Weihui Mansion Litigation Court is a great humiliation to me. Don't bully me ignorant. This Jiangxi turmoil, the Jiangxi Provincial Administration will be one of the culprits. If it weren't for the strict laws of our Weihui Mansion, I would have to use a stick to blow you out."
Zhang Heming looked embarrassed when he was scolded, but he admired Xue Wenqing's character very much, and the other party was an elder, so being taught a lesson was nothing. He glanced at Xue Wenqing and suddenly laughed.
Xue Wenqing asked, "Why are you laughing at?"
Zhang Heming said: "I laughed at Guo Dan and bragging for herself, and said shamelessly."
Xue Wenqing said in confusion: "What does this have to do with Guo Dan? He doesn't care about any decision I make."
"No, no." Zhang Heming shook his head and said, "Director Xue may not know. Guo Dan boasted about the third courts of Weihui Mansion in the court, and said that no matter how top scorer, it is difficult for the second place to gain a foothold in the third courts of Weihui Mansion."
Xue Wenqing immediately said: "He is right. Who can compare with Weihui Mansions in the country?"
Zhang Heming said: "But the facts have proved that he is boasting. Now many top scorers in the court have resigned from their official positions in the court. They have to come to Weihui Mansion with their own abilities, but President Xue doesn't even dare to leave the door."
Speaking of this, he smiled: "This is a verdict! No one dares to deny Guo Dan's talent now. It is mostly due to Guo Dan's contribution to the glory of Wei Hui Mansion. He bragged about himself before, but we had nothing to say, but if we talk about the third courts of Wei Hui Mansion, hehe, in my opinion, anyone can do it, and President Xue is just benefiting from Guo Dan's glory."
Xue Wenqing's expression changed and she said, "Since that's the case, are you still here to be my Jiangxi governor? Are you not self-contradictory?"
Zhang He sighed: "That's because the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet Wang Jiaping strongly recommended President Xue and convinced Mr. Shen. Of course, I agreed before, but now it seems that the Third Court of Weihui Prefecture is just seeking fame and raising only a group of mediocre people. If it weren't for Guo Dan, the Third Court of Weihui Prefecture would be nothing."
Xue Wenqing sneered coldly: "You censors can talkatively, and other than that, they are really useless."
"This is the duty of our censors." Zhang Heming smiled and said, "But I just need to discuss the matter. Jinshi in the court dares to resign from his official position and come to Weihui Mansion to make a breakthrough. However, the so-called talents of your Weihui Mansion do not even dare to leave this family, because you all know in your heart that you can achieve what you have today, thanks to Guo Dan. I heard that a right-hand man named Cao Xiaodong, is there anyone else?"
Xue Wenqing nodded and said, "There is someone else."
"He was a beggar, am I wrong?"
“So what?”
"Even a little beggar can rely on Guo Dan and become a wealthy businessman. It seems that the relationship between President Xue and Guo Dan is not very good!"
This censor has a good mouth, but it is really poisonous.
Xue Wenqing took a deep breath and said, "Although I know you are using a stimulus, I will never allow you, a group of people who have failed and have enough money to humiliate Wei Hui's mansion."
