The first thousand one hundred and forty-nine chapters(1/2)
"By the way!"
Wanli suddenly remembered something and asked, "Are you going to Weihui Mansion recently?"
Guo Dan nodded and said, "Yes, I haven't been to Weihui Mansion for a long time. Now the court has decided to develop the economy and many state prefectures will develop business. Then Weihui Mansion cannot concentrate all production across the country as before, and some adjustments may be needed."
"That's right." Wanli nodded and suddenly asked: "Isn't the tax revenue of Weihui Mansion less than before?"
Wei Hui’s income is his personal income!
He was quite nervous about this.
Guo Tan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured about this. The tax revenue of Weihui Mansion will only increase. I think that the current industries of Weihui Mansion require technology, such as medicine and firearms. These are high-profit products. A piece of land of the same size will obviously make more profitable to produce high-profit products."
"That's right! That's right!" Wanli couldn't help but smile and nodded, and said, "Don't rush to go first, wait for me."
Guo Dan was stunned and said, "Wait... what should I wait for Your Majesty?"
Wanli said: "Recently, Wang Jiaping recommended the prince to study at Yinuo Academy. I was thinking about it and wanted to go over and take a look."
"ah?"
Guo Dan was shocked.
Wanli glanced at him and said curiously: "Why are you so surprised?"
Aren't you a fat man? The farthest place you have ever been to in your life is from the palace to your own grave. Why are you going out? Guo Dan said embarrassedly: "Because Your Majesty rarely leaves the capital, he suddenly wants to go to Weihui Mansion. Bei Zhi was a little surprised."
Wanli said, "I don't have any interest in the place. But I still want to go and see the Weihui Mansion. Everyone outside says how good the Weihui Mansion is. In addition, the Weihui Mansion makes so much money for me every year, so I also want to see what the Weihui Mansion looks like. But I am still thinking about it. I will send someone to notify you at that time. Don't worry, it won't be long."
"Abide by the orders of humble duties."
Guo Dan bowed his fists and raised his head. When he raised his head, he suddenly found that Wanli scratched his chin with his fat fingers, his eyes flashed, and a strong smile was still hanging on the corner of his mouth. He couldn't help but feel curious, what is this fat man going to do?
Wanli suddenly noticed his gaze, coughed tactically, and said, "You retreat first."
"Resignation from a humble position."
As the steps went down, Guo Dan couldn't help but take a look east. The sun did not hit the west. The world's most fat man was going to leave the capital. This...!
After thinking for a while, he suddenly realized that I understood, I understood that he was going to show off.
He was right in his guess.
In history, Wanli was indeed in a dark place, but that was because he was criticized when he went out and was thought of. No one wanted to go out. But now it is different. Now he is the emperor of the ages, now he is the three emperors and six emperors, and he is the biggest winner. If you don’t go out and listen to others’ praise, what’s the point of asking for this title?
He even planned to go to Mount Tai to Fengshan.
Weihui Mansion is undoubtedly the best place. First of all, this is his base camp, and it must be full of praise everywhere. Secondly, it is closer to the capital, suitable for him to go back and forth. Finally, and the most important point is that Weihui Mansion helps him earn a lot of money every year, so of course he has to go to Weihui Mansion to spread some holy light to protect the local people.
"Consultant Guo."
As soon as he left the gate, a little eunuch came towards him. Guo Dan knew that this man was by the Empress Dowager.
Sure enough, the little eunuch came to Guo Dan and said, "The Queen Mother, please come here."
Guo Dan was not surprised at all, because he was not here alone today, he came here with Zhu Yaoyao.
This is better than a mother!
After Wanli issued an order to let Guo Tan marry into the royal family, Empress Dowager Li sent someone to ask Zhu Yaoni if he wanted to go back to the palace, but Zhu Yaoni refused. Empress Dowager Li knew that Zhu Yaoni did not want to return to the palace, so this time he followed Wanli to the Royal Horse Farm. One of his purposes was to meet his daughter.
Therefore, Empress Dowager Li did not live in the temple next to her, but lived in the Royal Horse Farm.
"Guo Dan, a humble official, pays homage to the Queen Mother."
"You're still called the Queen Mother!"
Empress Dowager Li said with a smile.
Guo Dan immediately said, "Mother!"
Empress Dowager Li was stunned for a moment, as if she hadn't expected Guo Dan to take it so quickly, and smiled and said, "I am really worthy of being my number one son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty. I'm so skillful."
Guo Dan hurriedly explained: "My mother and queen have clearly understood, but the situation is just the opposite. The father-in-law and son-in-law call a lot, but the mother-in-law and mother-in-law have never called it. The mother-in-law has been in her heart for many years and has never had a chance."
Empress Dowager Li was angry and funny when she heard this. Judging from her virtue, she didn't look like someone who could defeat Confucianism. She smiled and said, "Don't be busy calling out, although the emperor has issued an order to agree to this marriage, you and Yongning are not married yet."
Guo Dan said depressedly: "But the princess is unwilling to hold a wedding."
Queen Mother Li said: "Can she decide this? This wedding must be held."
Guo Dan nodded quickly and said, "I think so too, my son-in-law."
Speaking of this, he said with a grievance: "I'm not hiding my mother's face. As the first son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty, my son-in-law held a small wedding. At that time, he didn't even invite a guest, so that's similar to that. The son-in-law's other two wives were unwilling to give a wedding to his son-in-law. Oh... No wonder everyone says that the son-in-law has no status and no title. It's really not worthy of his name. Now, with the mother, you are the master of your son-in-law. Then the son-in-law wants to hold a big wedding this time and get thousands of tables. We are not short of this little money."
"How many...thousands of tables?"
Empress Dowager Li frowned slightly.
Guo Dan asked, "Do you think there are too few mothers?"
"I think it's too young?" Empress Dowager Li immediately glared at him, "Isn't the emperor's wedding so many tables?"
"Uh...then...that's of course not more, less, less than His Majesty." Guo Dan said.
Empress Dowager Li said: "In this way, Yongning is really unwilling to hold this wedding."
"Yes." Guo Dan said: "The son-in-law has been asking the princess to give her a wedding these days, but she just refused to agree, but now she has a mother..."
"Since Yongning doesn't agree, then let it go."
"Ah? Mother, didn't you say that the princess can't make the decision?"
"Of course she can't make the decision, but Lao Xian's decision is based on the princess's opinion."
“…!”
Guo Dan bowed and said, "The Queen Mother is Shengming."
Empress Dowager Li looked aggrieved and couldn't help but feel funny. This boy is really inconsistent with his name. He has such a status but is so humble that even I can't control it.
She also figured it out that the wedding was not for Princess Yongning, but for Guo Dan. If Yongning got married, it would have to be glorious. Otherwise, it would be a shame to the royal family. But now Guo Dan married into the family and would not lose the royal family's face if he did not.
However, Guo Dan's identity and status are actually more than enough to marry a princess. He is definitely the number one son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty. No one dares to think that he is a son-in-law. Whether he is a marriage partner or a marriage is really stupid.
Guo Dan suddenly asked, "Mother, where is the princess?"
Empress Dowager Li was slightly stunned and said, "This wedding will be spared, but the wedding room cannot be avoided. I am still waiting to hug you... Cough cough, grandson's."
Hearing this, Guo Dan felt no grievance on her face and shouted: "My mother is Shengming!"
When Empress Dowager Li saw this guy, she felt that she had done a very loss-making business. Anyway, no matter how she arranged it, it seemed that Guo Dan would take a big advantage. But she was really a big profiteer. She immediately frowned slightly and waved to the little palace maid beside her.
The little palace maid immediately came to Empress Dowager Li, and Empress Dowager Li said a few words in her ear.
Guo Dan was not timidly at all and eavesdropped on his ears, but unfortunately he didn't hear clearly.
"Sister obeys the order."
The little palace maid bowed and came to Guo Dan again and said, "Mr. Concubine, please come here."
"The son-in-law gave up."
After Guo Dan left, the old eunuch beside Empress Dowager Li suddenly said, "I thought Empress Dowager, you will talk to him a few more words."
Empress Dowager Li smiled and said, "Look at him like a person who broke the thousand-year tradition?"
The old eunuch said truthfully: "It's not like it at all."
Queen Mother Li said: "So it doesn't make any sense to test it or not. Instead, it will make him feel unhappy and easily deceive him. It depends on what he did."
Speaking of this, she suddenly sighed and said, "I have lived at this age and I know countless people, but this kid is always unpredictable. I have been observing him, but I have never seen every step he takes!"
The old eunuch said: "This is unsettling!"
Empress Dowager Li shook her head and said, "It's not that uneasy. If he really had a strange intention, he wouldn't do so many things and offend so many people. Every step he took seemed extremely dangerous, but it was precisely the reason why he could live to this day."
At this point, she laughed twice, "Everyone understands the truth that the height is so cold, but there are not many smart people in the world who can withstand this temptation. Even if they are dangerous, they have to climb up. The most different thing about this kid is that he stands below and uses a long stick to knock down the fruit on it. He bathes in the warm sunshine, and eats the fruit on it, making the smart people above it become hungry and cold."
......
Guo Dan followed the palace maid in the courtyard, his head almost dizzy, and he couldn't help but comfort himself, it was so good that he had a lot of trouble. Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of something and asked the palace maid: "Little sister, I heard that there are many rules for the princess to get married?"
"If you say back to the prince-consort, yes."
"I heard that there are old officials and old palace maids guarding the gate?"
"Yes."
"Are you going to arrange a few this time?" Guo Dan asked anxiously.
The little palace maid looked at Guo Dan guiltily, stammered for a while, and said, "I don't know either."
It would be nice to arrange a few for me. I would be angry with Yongning and let her know that our prince-consort is not bullied by others. She is full of security. Can those old eunuchs and old palace maids beat me to win? Wait! Guo Dan suddenly turned his face and asked again: "By the way, I heard that the officials in the palace have learned a unique method of being a master of the Sunflower Book, I wonder if it is?"
"Sunflower Book?" the little palace maid shook her head and said, "I have never heard of it."
Guo Dan asked again: "Did officials learn martial arts?"
The little palace maid shook her head.
Grandpa Jin was really hard-built, so I felt relieved. Guo Dan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but I can't beat the entire Sunflower Book.
The little palace maid suddenly stopped and pointed to the gate of a courtyard in front and said, "The princess is inside."
