After Guo Dan left, Empress Dowager Li went to the garden behind and saw Wanli enjoying flowers alone, but he looked absent-minded. When he saw Mr. Li later, he hurried forward and bowed, "My son has seen his mother."

李太后笑道:“让皇帝久等了.”

"My son has just arrived for a while." Wanli walked forward, raised his hand slightly, gently supported Empress Dowager Li, and asked, "How is the mother and Guo Dan talking?"

Empress Dowager Li smiled bitterly and said, "That boy has taught me a good lesson."

Wanli was furious when he heard this, and felt incredible. Guo Dan, who had always been smart, dared to teach the Empress Dowager a lesson, and said in a trembling voice: "It's really outrageous that he dares to teach this a lesson. Please rest assured. My mother, please send someone to arrest him immediately."

Empress Dowager Li shook her head and said, "The emperor does not need to be excited. It's not his fault. It was Lao Zhen who deliberately forced him to that point. When Lao Zhen saw him this time, he wanted to know what he was thinking, rather than listening to his sweet words."

After squatting down, she continued, "But what he said makes sense, and I can see that he is indeed thinking about you, the emperor."

Wanli felt relieved when he heard this and asked again: "What does Queen Mother think about this?"

Empress Dowager Li smiled and said, "Emperor, what should be done in this matter is naturally the decision of the emperor. I will never ask about it. I am just very curious about why Guo Dan, a businessman, suddenly became interested in the matter of the vassal king, so he planned to ask him for some questions."

Wanli said: "My son understands, but I can't make up my mind about this matter. I hope my mother can give me some advice."

Empress Dowager Li shook her head and said, "I can't help you with any ideas. You have to decide on this matter yourself. I'm just Guo Dan, who wants to remind the emperor."

万历忙道:“母后请说.”

Empress Dowager Li narrowed her eyes and said, "I have seen Guo Dan twice. This boy is very clever and is indeed a talent. Emperor, you have not read the wrong person. As for the moment, he is also trustworthy."

Speaking of this, she changed the subject: "But the method of this person's behavior is very strange. He is another way to solve the problem. This method may all be traced back to the Qi State in the Spring and Autumn Period. His method of governing Weihui Mansion is similar to Guan Zhong's plan to buy deer in Chu State.

However, since Emperor Wu of Han respected Confucianism alone, this method has always been regarded as a lewd way. It is not that this method is not good, but that this method is not very clear to old man, and the emperor probably doesn't understand it very well.

For example, even though he had told us in advance what he would do, no one had expected that there would be a situation today, but all of this was under his control. Therefore, at this point, Emperor, you must carefully consider it. Even if the result is good, you must consider clearly what his ultimate goal is."

Wanli thought for a while, then nodded and said, "My mother has received teachings, and my son will definitely remember them in his heart."

李太后笑着点点头.

Wanli secretly glanced at his mother again and said, "My mother, about the vassal king?"

Empress Dowager Li said: "As soon as I said it very clearly, Emperor, you have to make your own decisions. Now that you have grown up, you should make a difference."

This can also be said to be true. As a monarch, you have to make a difference. If you want to keep your name in history, you have to show some great achievements. You have not done anything yet. The potential meaning is that she obviously supports Wanli to make some changes.

In fact, during the Wanli period, Empress Dowager Li was a very critical figure. Although Zhang Juzheng was the reformer, it was based on the fact that Empress Dowager Li made great contributions. Without Empress Dowager Li's support, Zhang Juzheng could not have succeeded. Therefore, this policy has continued to this day, and Empress Dowager Li is very clear about the national situation.

She knew that there were many problems that needed to be solved, but due to the struggle between the court, Wanli could not exert her strength. In recent years, negative attitudes have begun to appear. It was Guo Dan's appearance that made Wanli cheer up again. So whether from the perspective of mother and son or from the perspective of the country, she hoped that Wanli would make a difference, rather than respond negatively.

But she abides by etiquette and law. Since she has returned to Wanli, she will never interfere in the government affairs again. She will only have a slight influence from the side and will never scold Wanli as before.

.

After Guo Dan returned to the tooth shop, he locked himself in the office.

Although Empress Dowager Li did not show any intention to punish him and did not refute his suggestions, he could not figure out what Queen Mother Li and Wanli were planning. This matter once again reminded him that this aspect was always his weakness.

Some things may be beneficial but not harmful in his opinion, but in the eyes of the rulers, they may be harmful but not beneficial.

He didn't want to be involved, he still insisted on his plan, focused on his business, and did what he was best at. It was precisely because of this that he needed someone to help him solve this problem.

This is also a typical capital thinking. As a boss, it doesn’t matter if I don’t understand. As someone understands it, I can spend money and ask someone who understands it to help me.

But nowadays, money is not omnipotent, and many knowledgeable people don’t like his money.

Since money is not easy to use, it is up to your appearance. However, appearance is only effective for women. After all, this is not a big deal, and appearance can be killed by both men and women.

念及至此,他脑海中闪过一道倩影.

“夫君,你在想什么?”

忽听得有人问道.

"Xu."

As soon as Guo Dan opened his mouth, he suddenly woke up. He looked up and saw Kou Weisha looking at him with curiosity and said, "Madam?"

Kou Weisha tilted his head slightly and asked, "Husband, what are you thinking? I'm so enchanting?"

郭淡稍一迟疑,道:“我在想徐姑姑.”

“大姐姐?”

寇涴纱美目睁大.

Guo Dan hurriedly said, "Don't be jealous, it's not what you think."

Kou Weisha's expression calmed down and spat, "I am not jealous, and you don't follow your own virtues."

Looking at yourself? Guo Dan frowned and asked without answering, "Madam, Aunt Xu took the initiative to come to you?"

寇涴纱稍稍一愣,然后点点头.

郭淡又道:“她与你说了什么?”

Kou Weisha said: "I just reminisce about the past and didn't say anything. Oh, and I also told me that you owe her money." After that, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes.

She has been coming to find her wife for so long, but she came here and mentioned that I owe her money. Oh, I should have thought of this a long time ago. Guo Dan pondered for a moment, and suddenly said to Kou Weisha: "Madam, I plan to ask someone to come to Yaxing for help."

"who?"

As soon as he said that, Kou Weisha suddenly exclaimed: "Is that so?"

郭淡笑着点点头.

第二日,郭淡再度来到云霞观.

He had just arrived at the foot of the mountain and looked up and saw a tall Taoist nun standing on the mountain. He was extremely excited and hurriedly waved his hand. Before he came, he was really afraid that he would let him wait for more than half a day.

When he arrived on the peak, Aunt Xu nodded slightly to indicate.

Guo Dan immediately waved and greeted, "Big sister, I haven't seen each other for many days. How are you doing lately?"

Aunt Xu's expression stagnated. She hadn't seen each other for many days. It seemed that their relationship had been sublimated. She shouted so kindly, and said, "You should call me a layman."

Guo Dan shook his head and said, "No, there is a saying, "Women sing to follow the husband. I never thought that the eldest sister was my wife's mentor. This is really fate!"

Aunt Xu said, "Don't worry, I will ask Yansha to call me a layman."

Guo Dan hurriedly said, "There is no need, I'd better call you a lay Buddhist. You'd better be a lay Buddhist." He honestly gave a courtesy.

Aunt Xu nodded and asked again, "I wonder why you are here today?"

"Of course it's coming to pay back the money."

Guo Dan waved his hand magnanimously, and a guard immediately came forward and opened a wooden box in front of Aunt Xu, and saw five hundred taels inside. He heard him say, "I should have sent someone to send money for a long time, but I, Guo Dan, have never been the one who has no faith, especially in terms of money."

"It's okay."

Aunt Xu nodded, then ordered a Taoist nun to accept the five hundred taels, and then said to Guo Dan: "I know you are very busy, so I won't keep you."

"Not busy, no busy, no busy now."

Guo Dan smiled embarrassedly and thought to herself that she really didn't recognize anyone after pulling up her pants. She rubbed her hands and said, "Actually, I'm here today, and there's another thing."

Aunt Xu asked, "What's the matter?"

"That's it!" Guo Dan looked around and said, "I've been walking for so long and I'm a little thirsty. The layman shouldn't be stingy with a cup of tea."

Aunt Xu hesitated for a while before invited Guo Dan to the pavilion behind the Taoist temple, and personally brewed a cup of tea for Guo Dan, and asked again: "I wonder what else do you have?"

"You wait a moment."

Guo Dan said that, then took out a bronze mirror from his arms and placed it on the table, saying, "It's for this."

Aunt Xu glanced at the bronze mirror and looked at him in confusion.

"The layman is really awakening the dreamer in one mirror!"

Guo Dan said excitedly, "I have never concealed the layman. I have always felt that appearance is just a face. A hundred years later, dust returns to dust and soil, and only a pair of skeletons are left, and no one is exceptional. Therefore, I never judge people by appearance, and there is not even a bronze mirror in my room.

It was not until the layman gave me this bronze mirror that I carefully looked at myself and found that I was so handsome. I instantly realized what the layman meant. Look at my dress today."

As he said that, he stood up, turned around gorgeously, and danced in a slutty manner.

Today he was indeed dressed up happily, wearing that slim ink bamboo robe, a black net scarf, and his fair face, to put it more exaggeratedly, just like the handsome guy walking out of the painting.

Aunt Xu glanced at him with endless depression between her eyebrows, and asked helplessly: "What are you talking about?"

Guo Dan sat down quickly and said, "I came today to invite lay people down the mountain in the name of appearance. In ancient times, there were Liu, Guan, Zhang, and the thousand donkeys. Now, Guo Tongsheng, invites lay people, and it will definitely become a good story in the future."

After hearing this, Aunt Xu silently took back the bronze mirror.

Guo Dan said in surprise: "Why did the layman agree?"

Aunt Xu said depressedly: "How can I see it?"

Guo Dan said: "This bronze mirror is the token between us. Now that the layman takes back the bronze mirror, what is it if this is not agreed, it is really great."

Aunt Xu silently placed the bronze mirror on the table again.

Guo Dan was stunned and said, "What does lay people mean?"

Aunt Xu said laughing and crying: "I think you misunderstood."

"How is this possible?"

Guo Dan said in surprise: "Isn't this mirror just a look?"

"That's right." Aunt Xu nodded and said, "It's a pity that you understand exactly the opposite."

“Just the opposite?”

Guo Dan said doubtfully: "Does the layman say I am ugly? This is impossible." He couldn't help but touch his face.

Aunt Xu sighed softly, feeling that Guo Dan was so shameless, and she didn't need to give him a face. She said truthfully: "I'll give you a bronze mirror, just hope you can see clearly how much you are."

"One hundred and twenty pounds, standard figure."
