Chapter 458: Your Majesty, someone is robbing business(2/2)
After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that the emperor had some big problems. Just this is the only thing, do you want to use the East Factory?
And then again, people are just to make money by hosting Marseilles. What are you doing when hosting Marseilles?
Yang Mingshen was too jealous of Wanli and Guo Dan’s eating habits. If you drink some soup, you will kill them all. It’s really bullying. Moreover, they were very jealous of Marseille’s profitability, so they said, “Your Majesty, can you let me see it?”
Wanli glanced at Yang Mingshen and waved his hand.
Zhang Jing handed the secret letter to Yang Mingshen again.
After reading it, Yang Mingshen said, "Your Majesty, don't you think there is any problem with this?"
Guo Dan hurriedly said: "The court promised to the Caomin that it would only allow the Caomin to hold Marseilles and not others to hold it. This is obviously a blatant disobeying the court's orders. Xing'an Bo can testify about this... Xing'an Bo, where are you going?"
Wanli turned his head and saw that Xu Mengchong was almost walking to the door of the house.
Xu Mengchong was so smart that he quickly escaped when he heard this. Otherwise, Guo Dan would have to blame him again. However, he still didn't escape. He couldn't help but stop and said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, the old minister is anxious and wants to go to the toilet."
Wanli said expressionlessly: "I will finish talking about this before going?"
"Ah? Yes."
Xu Mengchong walked back honestly again.
Wanli asked Xu Mengchong: "It was the contract signed between Taipu Temple and Guo Dan, and Xing'an Bo should be very familiar with this matter."
"this...!"
Xu Mengchong hesitated and said, "This old minister still has to think about it..."
Shen Shixing suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister still vaguely remembers this matter. It was not as Guo Dan said. At that time, the court did not promise Guo Dan this matter, but ordered that the Marseille no longer be held. This was the court's decision and had nothing to do with Guo Dan."
Why did this decree come up at that time? In fact, it was to restrict Guo Dan from going to other places to hold Marseilles, rather than to restrict others to protect Guo Dan's interests.
Guo Dan is really turning black and white.
Wanli said: "Since the court issued this order, these people are disobeying the court's orders and should be punished."
"His Majesty."
Yang Mingshen, who had just read the secret letter, suddenly said: "I think we should not make a decision in this matter."
Wanli said with a grim eyebrows: "I did not make a decision. I just asked the Dongchang to investigate the matter. If Guo Dan lies, I will naturally not bypass him."
Yang Mingshen said: "Even if the letter is true, you should not make a decision. Because the letter said that the rich man named Zhang only took money to hold Marseille out of his preferences, and some gambling shops used his Marseille to bet..."
Guo Dan immediately said: "The people have found out about this matter that the rich man named Zhang had secretly cooperated with those gambling shops."
Yang Mingshen was too lazy to pay attention to Guo Dan and said to Wanli: "Your Majesty, the old minister thought that the court had issued the order at the beginning was a bit arbitrary and did not consider it carefully. If this was used as a punishment, no one would dare to hold any competition in the future, not just Marseille, because as long as someone bets with this, the person who holds the competition would inevitably be implicated. If anyone bets with the imperial examination in the future, what should he do?"
Wang Xijue said: "Your Majesty, I think Mr. Yang's words are reasonable, and this matter must be discussed for a long time."
"Long-term plan?"
