Chapter four hundred and sixty third as a teacher

Beloved concubine.”

Wanli looked at Zheng with a very nervous look and asked in a low voice: "My dear concubine, are you confused?"

When Zheng saw Wanli's nervous expression, he felt both moved and amused, and said angrily: "I want to be confused, but I am a little angry, and I am sober."

Wanli said suspiciously: "Since my beloved concubine is not confused, why do you say that Guo Dan is going to be a teacher for Xun'er? Although Guo Dan is smart, he is just a businessman after all, and his knowledge is just a child. How can he be a role model for others, let alone become a teacher for the prince."

Zheng pouted and said, "But Your Majesty has just promised me and I want to follow my wishes. Does Your Majesty want to repent? You have no jokes?"

"No, I don't want to regret it, I just can't understand it." Wanli said with a confused look on his face.

Isn’t this the legendary self-deprecation?

Zheng said, "What's the point of understanding? I think Guo Dan is much better than those ministers. Those officials are not well managed by Dezhou Prefecture, and under Guo Dan's governance, Isn't this just knowledge? If you read thousands of books but can't even manage a small county, then what's the use of this knowledge?"

Wanli also felt that it was not completely unreasonable.

It's quite like that.

Zheng hummed softly again: "Besides, those ministers always criticize us mother and son. They look down on us mother and son, and I have to look down on them, so I will not ask them."

"My dear concubine, you are fighting for something!"

Wanli was distressed.

Although Zheng's words are not unreasonable, he always feels that it would be ridiculous to ask a businessman to join Tongsheng to be a teacher for his son.

"I am definitely not fighting."

Zheng said, "I am really worried about letting them teach Xun'er. Besides, if Your Majesty also gave Xun'er the education of the crown prince, I'm afraid they will cause trouble again, which will add to Your Majesty's trouble. If you ask a businessman to be a teacher for Xun'er, they will have nothing to say."

"You."

Wanli was very depressed when she heard this and felt that she was useless.

Because Zheng said this situation is really possible.

Zheng took Wanli's arm again and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, you promised me."

"I."

Wanli couldn't believe it and asked again: "My beloved concubine, I'll ask you one more thing, are you really going to ask Guo Dan to be a teacher for Xun'er?"

Zheng nodded very seriously.

Wanli said: "Isn't you angry?"

"no."

Zheng shook his head.

"That."

Wanli said: "Okay, I'll go and ask Guo Dan."

Zheng sighed with slight relief: "If Guo Dan doesn't want to be a teacher for Xun'er, then alas."

"Please rest assured, my beloved concubine, Guo Dan will never refuse." Wanli hurriedly patted his chest and promised.

If he couldn't even do this, he might as well die.

It doesn't make any sense for this emperor to stand in front of him.

He just always had some doubts about this matter, because the ancients respected teachers very much, so not everyone could be a role model for others.

However, Zheng is not really joking, nor is he impulsive.

In fact, she had been following Guo Dan early in the morning. After all, Guo Dan had robbed her father of his arms in Liaodong.

At that time, Jung Seung-heon had politely asked her for help, but she refused.

First of all, she knew that Wanli was already a big fuss about protecting Zheng Chengxian at that time, and it was very difficult. If Wanli was still in that matter and fought with the ministers, he might lose all his life.

Secondly, Guo Dan's appearance also made her see a glimmer of hope.

She knew that she would definitely get support from the Exterior Court if she wanted to take office, but the reaction from the Exterior Court made her very desperate. The entire bureaucratic group opposed her and opposed him with her life. Whether it was killing or demoting Wanli, the will of the ministers was unshakable, and no one supported her.

She couldn't win either.

In despair, Guo Dan appeared. Guo Dan was not an official or an eunuch. Guo Dan represented the merchant class, but he was able to contract the four palaces and had very strong strength.

However, Guo Dan also faces pressure from the entire bureaucratic group.

Guo Dan wanted to get more, which was not tolerated by ethics and was opposed by the entire bureaucratic group.

It's very similar to her

This time after leaving the palace, Guo Dan gave her great respect, which shows that Guo Dan doesn’t care about etiquette and ethics, and she hopes to get Guo Dan’s support.

Although this friend is relatively alternative, it is better than not even a friend.

But Wanli is difficult to understand her thoughts.

Although Wanli and Zheng have the same goal, the situation they face is still different.

After all, Wanli is the monarch. He and his ministers are definitely not in the relationship between us, but are mainly in the relationship between the monarch and the ministers, and no one can do without the other.

What Zheng faced was a relationship between us and us, and she could not afford to lose.

But no matter what, Wanli still felt guilty. If even this humble request could not satisfy his beloved concubine, then this emperor really had nothing to be accused of.

Just in the evening of that day, Wanli asked Guo Dan to accompany him for a walk again.

"Guo Dan, what do you think about the establishment of a crown prince?"

Wanli asked suddenly.

Guo Dan was a little stunned and then said, "Although Hu Yi doesn't understand these things, Hu Yi can have everything today and be fully cared for by Your Majesty. Hu Yi is of course unconditional support for Your Majesty's decision."

Wanli nodded with a smile, then sighed again: "If everyone thinks like you, that would be great."

Guo Dan thought to himself that everyone is in different positions and their ideas are naturally different. This butt determines the head. If I am the prime minister, I will definitely object. If I don’t object, I will have to step down. But I am just a businessman. It is appropriate for businessmen to forget their righteousness when they see profit. They can understand this and will not care about it.

Wanli suddenly asked again: "By the way, have you passed the scholar exam?"

Guo Dan thought for a while and said, "I passed the exam, but I didn't."

He has already taken the exam for the Tongsheng exam, so how could he not take the exam for the scholar exam?

Wanli said, "You must have done it on purpose."

"Intentionally?"

Guo Dan was stunned for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty has been too much award. In fact, it cannot be said that it was intentional. It just said that he didn't work hard. After all, my father doesn't want to be a humble official in the court."

I was very puzzled, why I suddenly mentioned this?

Wanli smiled slightly and said, "I believe that this smart person can succeed in anything. You are born in a scholarly family and are forced to go to business. You can achieve such success. I believe that if you work hard to take the exam, you will definitely pass. In this way, you can recite the "Great University" first to tell me."

"Remember the book?"

Guo Dan almost bit her tongue.

You kill me.

Wanli waved his hand and said, "It's not considered a memorization, but I'm quite happy today. I want to talk about knowledge with you, so I can recite it."

Is I like a person who is a memorizing me? Guo Dan cursed in his heart, feeling that Wanli is becoming more and more perverted, but no matter how perverted he is, he is also the emperor. Not to mention asking you to memorize, even if you ask you to take off your pants, you have to take off your pants, and stuttered: "The way of a great university is to be clear about virtue, to be close to the people, and to be there."

He really had never memorized "The Great Learning". At most, he just took that book to fall asleep. He had to rely on Guo Dan's memories before, but those memories were becoming increasingly blurred, and he had to think about it desperately.

Wanli saw that he was there for a long time and did not say anything, so he asked nervously: "You can't even memorize "The Great Learning"?"

Guo Dan's face turned red with embarrassment and said, "Your Majesty, I haven't read the Four Books and Five Classics for a long time, haha."

Wanli saw that he was sweating profusely, not as if he was lying, and there was no need to lie. There was too much people who could recite "The Great Learning" and this was nothing. He couldn't help but feel worried. He had a little expectation for Guo Dan, thinking that Guo Dan must have hidden his strength in this area, but now it seems that this guy is not even as good as Tong Sheng, so how can he be a role model?

What a headache!

But he had already promised Zheng that if he couldn't do it, he wouldn't be able to live this life. He thought about it and left it alone, so he let Guo Dan be a teacher for Xun'er in name, and I would find another famous teacher to teach Xun'er.

He glanced at Guo Dan and said, "Guo Dan, you can't even memorize "The University". How can you convince the public when you are in the college?"

It turned out that he was worried about this. Guo Dan hurriedly said, "Please, Your Majesty."

As soon as he said that, he was interrupted by Wanli, "But don't worry, I will help you."

Guo Dan was stunned and said in surprise: "How can Your Majesty plan to help Husband?"

Wanli said: "I will let you serve as the teacher of the third son of the emperor, so that you can be justified."

Guo Dan seemed to be struck by lightning, as if she was stunned.

Wanli smiled and said, "Are you very excited? But you don't need to thank me. If you have done so much for me, I should also give you some help."

I thank your ancestors for their eighteen generations. Guo Dan was stunned and came to his senses, saying, "Your Majesty, you must be joking."

Wanli looked calm and said seriously: "You don't have any jokes. Besides, I can't joke with the prince."

"That."

Guo Dan was as if a monk was confused and was so anxious that he almost cried, "Your Majesty, you have such a low-level knowledge that you don't even dare to teach your son. How can you be the prince's teacher? Please take your majesty back."

Yes! He didn't even dare to teach his own son, but I asked him to be a teacher for the prince. What's the matter! Wanli was about to cry, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, I just let you go to build a college more legitimately. As for the prince's studies, you naturally don't have to worry about it."

Guo Dan said excitedly: "Your Majesty, why do you have this kind of way to deal with those people? You have your own way to do it."

"What do you know?"

Wanli snorted: "This is a very legitimate teacher. If you go to the college as a child, you will definitely be criticized. If you are the prince's teacher, who dares to question you? I have decided on this matter. Thank you quickly."

He didn't want to continue to get entangled, he was afraid that he would really change his mind.

"Thank you?"

"Um?"

"I thank the emperor for his gratitude."

Guo Dan choked and said.

Seeing his tears flashing, Wanli said, "You don't need to be so moved. I should do this for you."

Am I touched?

Are you blind? I am clearly in pain!
