Chapter 127: The Lion Beats the Rabbit for a Monthly Ticket)
Xu Mengchong did not have the great wisdom of Zhang Juzheng, Yu Qian, and his martial arts. He was not as upright as Hai Rui. He could not be lustful. However, as the leader of the founding, he was very successful. He avoided things when encountering problems and did not get involved in any right or wrong. He had no enemies in the court. When discussing state affairs, he usually kept silent and pretended to be deaf and dumb. Therefore, the censors and censors did not want to offend such a good man, and gave him a chance to withdraw.
He also cherished this opportunity very much. After he got out, he immediately released the news that the Three Musketeers had sold to the Kou family, and his winery no longer cooperated with the Kou family.
I stand firmly.
And this undoubtedly encouraged the arrogance of the censors and censors.
They began to launch a full-scale attack on Guo Dan.
On that day, they were humiliated by Guo Dan and left. In fact, they had encountered such a thing before. When Zhang Juzheng was in charge, they were often humiliated, but the problem was that Zhang Juzheng, the chief minister of the dynasty, could not be said to be above ten thousand people. At his peak, Zhang Juzheng was above the emperor. He really had the ability to abolish Wanli.
If you can be humiliated by Zhang Juzheng, you can at least be able to survive for thousands of years.
But you, Guo Dan, are just a tooth merchant who has been despised by literati for many years. The humblest class in society is humiliated by him. That is really a loss of face. If you don’t kill Guo Dan, it will be hard to extinguish your hatred!
The censors and censors led by Jiang Yinglin were naturally the first to attack. They joined forces and wrote to the cabinet, demanding that the album of the Three Musketeers be defined as a lustful painting, and to spread the yinhui ideas. In order to make money, they did not hesitate to poison the people, ruin our principles and destroy social stability, and asked the cabinet to order the three Musketeers to be sealed off and punish Guo Dan.
The cabinet, headed by Shen Shi, was originally fighting against the censors and censors. Of course, they did not want to help those censors and censors, but many ministers in the court responded one after another because these ministers all claimed to be decent people and a clear stream in the mud. Since the album of the Three Musketeers has been defined as "elude paintings", no matter what they thought, he would stand up and say a few words to express his position.
Shen Shixing did not have the prestige and courage of Zhang Juzheng. He did not dare to take the blame and reject it. After all, they were scholars and could not offend scholars all over the world. However, he did not want to help the other party, so the cabinet threw this problem over because the cabinet only had the right to vote. Simply put, it was to post the suggestion on the memorial and then submit it. Moreover, Shen Shixing did not vote on the cabinet from the perspective of the cabinet, not that I suggested to seal it, but he just conveyed the opinions below. This was undoubtedly an hinting to the emperor that our cabinet was neutral.
The chief of the Sili Supervisor has the power to criticize the red. This power was originally the emperor, and usually the ministers submitted memorials and the emperor criticized the red. However, if the emperor wanted to be more relaxed, it was not a major national event, the eunuch would usually directly criticize it.
But when I gave it, I was soaked in the sea and there was no one even a bubble.
The above is neither rejected nor ordered.
The censors and censors continued to report the memorials. Wanli was too lazy to read it, so he simply took sick leave directly and didn't even open a court meeting, so as not to be caught by you.
Wanli is really perfect in this routine. Anyway, he is extremely thick-skinned. You can curse him no matter how much you like, but I can't hear it anyway.
The emperor did not criticize him, and the judicial department did not dare to move. Those officials were not stupid. The emperor was obviously on Guo Dan's side. If they dared to seize them without authorization, the factory guards would come to seize them.
Because of the existence of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, judicial power is actually in the hands of the emperor.
However, this was also expected by Jiang Yinglin and others. He reported that he wanted to make this big deal, and that he also wanted to test the emperor's attitude.
Since your emperor's attitude is not to care about it, that's fine, let's solve it in our own way.
What is the way of censors? Nothing is public opinion.
Jinyulou.
"Did I go to the wrong store?"
When Zhou Feng saw the empty restaurant, he couldn't help but rub his eyes hard, and suddenly exclaimed: "Ho! What's this?"
You should know that it is noon now, and it is time to eat, so why don’t there be even a single customer?
"Master, you are back, something big happened."
The shopkeeper cried.
Zhou Feng said in surprise: "What big thing happened?"
The shopkeeper said: "Now people outside say that the album of the Three Musketeers is a lustful painting, and they also say that in order to make money, the Kou family forced the women of good families to be prostitutes to spread their yinhui ideas..."
"What kind of good women?" Zhou Feng wondered: "Aren't those women all ji girls?"
The shopkeeper said, "The villain doesn't know, this is how it is passed on outside."
Zhou Feng said again: "But what does this have to do with my Jinyulou?"
The shopkeeper said, "This is because they said that we have a cooperative relationship with the Kou family and are accomplices of Hu. They also said that if we do not immediately cut off cooperation with the Kou family, we will never come to our Jinyulou."
When Zhou Feng heard this, he was stunned.
This really hurts the fish.
For a moment, the entire public opinion trend suddenly changed 180 degrees.
Shilin, academies, and courts all began to criticize the albums of the Three Musketeers.
It is said that the Three Musketeers spread yinhui ideas, poison the people, destroy the etiquette system, and endanger social stability. In short, all kinds of hats are put on top.
You should know that the Kou family was talked about because of the enthronement ceremony before.
Now, the Kou family immediately became the source of evil that spreads yinhui's thoughts.
Not only that, they also revealed that Guo Dan used the Jinshi to promote the Three Musketeers and shook out all the ugly truths.
There is also the power and wealth transaction behind the enthronement ceremony.
They are not just talking about the matter, but a way of speculation. This is also their usual style. For example, they think women will definitely not be willing to be this model. The conclusion is that those women were coerced by Guo Dan, which is really reasonable and well-founded. Therefore, why did Guo Dan force the women to abduct young girls and offer them lustful pleasures? They also said that many Jinshis were bribed by Guo Dan with money, and said that Guo Dan spent money to bribe the imperial concubine's family and used the royal sign to make money.
It's said that there is a nose and eyes.
This is actually a routine for them to liquidate Zhang Juzheng, grasping some details of Zhang Juzheng's life and then extending infinitely.
This is really a splash of waves!
Those Jinshi suddenly woke up, and even those who didn't wake up were scolded to be scolded. The key is that if they didn't take the team quickly, they would be really thought that they were bought by Guo Dan, and the Jinshi also criticized Guo Dan.
You should know that "Interview with Jinshi" made the Three Musketeers suddenly become high-end, elegant and upscale, but now this highlight has also become a stain.
When dealing with a small tooth merchant, he actually used such a great power, just like a lion fighting a rabbit.
Liu family.
"This time their Kou family is really over." Liu Chengbian smiled gloatingly.
In fact, many of the inside stories were exposed by their Liu family, especially the "Jinshi Interview Record". Those censors and censors still don't quite understand the inside stories in business.
Liu Zongcheng sighed and said, "Guo Dan is indeed a rare business genius, but often such people will not have a good ending."
Of course he was happy when the Kou family closed down, but he himself was a businessman, so he still felt a little sad.
However, in this public opinion, the most injured businessmen who cooperated with the Kou family. They invested a lot of money in this enfeoffment ceremony. Now, it was time to gain something, but such a thing happened. The previous expectations suddenly disappeared, and the war was still on them. Now, anyone who cooperated with the Kou family has been boycotted by everyone.
Kou family house.
"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet, listen to my words."
Guo Dan stood up and shouted loudly.
The dozens of businessmen crowded together in the hall stopped complaining and looked at Guo Dan.
And there were shouting outside the door and then they came into the hall.
"Clear yinhui and give me the breeze."
It turned out that at this moment, there were hundreds of scholars standing in front of the gate of the Kou family. They shouted slogans and demanded that the Kou family be sealed and Guo Dan be punished, otherwise they would never give up.
Guo Dan, who had been quarreled all day, couldn't help rolling his eyes and could only say aloud: "First of all, on behalf of the Kou family, I apologize to you. This is all my fault. You are all innocent. We are very sorry for this."
A businessman said: "We are not here to discuss the right thing..."
"Let me finish."
Guo Dan interrupted him and said, "Secondly, we will compensate you all the losses, including the money you invested in the enthronement ceremony before, we will refund it as much as possible. As for your request to terminate the cooperation contract with us, our Kou family also agreed, and at the same time we can understand your difficulties. Even if our Kou family survives this time, we will be as usual. Welcome to you."
The merchants then fell silent.
They came here to get compensation. The advertisement would definitely not be available, so you must pay!
Guo Dan said again: "Everyone who is here should also know my Guo Dan's character. I said I would definitely pay compensation if I compensate, and I will definitely satisfy everyone. However, this incident has just happened and we are still stepping up the formulation of compensation plans. Please go back and wait for the news first. Once the compensation plan is formulated, we will notify you immediately. Everyone has also seen it. The money is still in my home."
"Of course we have detailed you, but you have to give me a deadline." Cao Da said suddenly.
The other merchants also nodded one after another. In their opinion, the Kou family was definitely finished. If they were seized by the government, there would be no compensation. They hoped that they could deal with it as soon as possible.
Guo Dan pondered for a moment and said, "Because this incident happened suddenly, we did not expect it, and the contract did not state this point. How to formulate a compensation plan that satisfies everyone, it may take some time. I promise to give you an answer within half a month."
"Half a month?"
The merchants looked at each other in surprise.
Listen to the slogans outside, can your Kou family survive for half a month?
Guo Dan smiled confidently and said, "I know what you are worried about, but if they could seal our Kou family, they would have sealed it long ago. Do you have to yell outside? It's not that I look down on them, they don't even dare to enter the door, so you don't have to worry about it. In addition, this matter is related to the palace after all, so I have to negotiate with them, which also takes time."
When everyone heard this, although they were still a little dissatisfied, they all hoped to take the money away today, but the problem was that the money was guarded by the imperial guards. No matter how much they forced Guo Dan, it would be useless. Besides, Guo Dan took all the responsibility on himself and had no intention of shirking the responsibility. This was already very good, and they could only accept it when they were ready.
After these merchants left, Kou Weisha walked out and looked at Guo Dan worriedly, "Husband, is Your Majesty really willing to take out the money?"
Guo Tan smiled and said, "I'll just say it casually. You're taking it seriously, but it's not that I don't want to refund it, but the money is returned to them, and they will have to send it back then. How troublesome it will be!"
"Yeah?"
Kou Weisha obviously didn't believe it. Now she only felt the walls falling and the people pushing them, and the money scattered in the tree falling and the money scattered.
Guo Dan gently held her hand and said, "Madam, don't worry, listen to the slogans outside. They are helping us promote it, and they are the kind that doesn't charge money."
Kou Weisha heard this and said angrily, "It's better not to have such publicity."
She had read books and felt very uncomfortable when she was scolded.
Guo Dan said, "Madam, we are businessmen, not scholars, and the most important thing is to pursue profit."
Kou Weisha said: "But if this continues, who will still do business with us?"
"No, no." Guo Dan said: "There is a saying that everything will turn back. When they kick us into the abyss completely, it is the day when we are reborn in the fire. If you don't believe it, I will let the Three Musketeers sell some picture albums at will. Even if the price doubles, they will definitely be snatched away."
Kou Weisha obviously didn't believe it: "How is this possible?"
Guo smiled and said, "Madam is too arrogant. The people outside scolded them with confidence, but when they were in brothels, they had a different ugly attitude. Now they all said our three musketeers so much. This is undoubtedly the best advertisement, because this is human nature. I am sure that many people now want to see how good our album is, and then criticize us with more reasonable and reasonable grounds."
Kou Weisha frowned and said nothing, and I have to say that Guo Dan really made some sense.
Just then, Chen Chen ran in panting and said, "Son-in-law, news came from the Three Musketeers that the Three Musketeers' sign was splashed with feces again."
"It's okay, it's okay."
Guo Dan smiled and said, "I plan to change the signboard, after all, they have changed their owners, and the Three Musketeers are not in line with the real name, so of course they have to change their names. And if this signboard is hung, they will definitely not dare to splash it."
Kou Weisha asked, "Did Your Majesty give it?"
"Of course not, this matter has nothing to do with His Majesty."
"What is that?"
"Madam, don't worry."
Guo Dan said to Chenchen: "Tell the butler to carry the plaque up."
After a while, two servants carried a plaque into the lobby.
After seeing this, Kou Weisha was shocked.
I saw three big characters written in red pen on the plaque - single erotic.
