Wanli's words "no one" were undoubtedly slapped twice in the face of the ministers.

No one has had a lucky miss.

This immediately aroused public anger.

Aren't we humans?

Their purpose of coming here today is to impeach Guo Dan's remarks. This is really not directed at Guo Dan. The key is that Guo Dan's remarks involve the foundation of Confucian rule.

However, Wanli wanted to turn the tables, how could they give up?

Yang Mingshen immediately retorted: "The king is not wise, the etiquette is weak, and the law is in chaos; the ministers do not follow the government, and the country is in danger. The king cannot cultivate virtue and administration, and the ministers are not afraid; the ministers lose their respectful manners and feel contemptuous. They do not obey the king's orders in the near future, and they are far from respecting the court.

I urge Your Majesty to cultivate virtue and administration, what is wrong?”

Shen Shixing also said: "The world is in chaos, and I want to have one person. If the monarch is kind to cultivate virtue, the world will prosper; if the monarch loses virtue, the world will perish."

Ministers such as Wang Jiaping, Wang Xijue, and Xu Guo also stood up to defend the Confucian idea of ​​cultivating virtue and benevolence.

In fact, they are all right. The premise is that "the world is in chaos, and one person is given a person." If this person is not kind, he will cause trouble to the world.

Countless examples have proved this.

Wanli sneered at this and hated her deeply.

What he annoyed the most was that these ministers chattered in his ears every day, and even had to talk a few words to wear clothes. One Zhang Juzheng left, and then millions of Zhang Juzheng stood up.

Who can bear this?

The fat man is the most unwilling to bear to be nagging.

This is also the main purpose of his convening of this court meeting, because Guo Dan provided him with a very favorable theory that he wanted to reverse this phenomenon in the court.

After they finished their long discussion, Wanli said slowly: "You are all right. I deeply agree with this, but it is not comprehensive enough. Guo Dan's words are obviously more comprehensive and more reasonable than you. Whether it is a monarch or a minister, cultivating virtue and establishing oneself is the most basic thing. If you can't even do this well, then what else can you do to work hard to govern the world and the rise and fall of the world.

You can stand here, which should be enough to prove that you are both virtuous and talented, but the truth is not."

As he said that, he suddenly shouted loudly: "Take it up."

Many guards came up with boxes of memorials.

After a while, the entire hall was piled up.

The ministers looked sideways and thought, what are they going to do?

Wanli pointed his hand below, "This is every memorial you have given since I took power. In the first two years of my rule, you mainly impeached Zhang Juzheng and abolished the new law. In the next few years, you all focused on the crown prince and Guo Dan. Those who truly proposed governance strategies, even whether right or wrong, only accounted for 10%.

Cultivating virtue is the basis of governing the country, but if you seek prosperity in the world, you still need to govern. Are there only you who are virtuous in the world? I don’t think so, why are you the only ones who can stand here because of your talent in governing the country, and your duty is to assist me in governing the world, not to assist me in cultivating virtue."

Shen Shixing and others all looked embarrassed.

They did not expect that Wanli had done such abnormal statistics.

Isn’t this a trick that Guo Dan is good at using?

This is really learned by Wanli and Guo Dan. He is also analyzing why Guo Dan can win by surprise. The reason is that Guo Dan always uses data to talk about things, because reasoning cannot be explained by them. Let’s just present the data. I can choose data that is beneficial to me. You... do you understand data?

Wanli sighed again: "Since I took power, I have asked myself that I have not done anything that has been unethical. However, I have done very few things in the past few years. Although my mentor has made mistakes, the things he has done in a year are far better than what I have done in a few years, which makes me feel very ashamed!"

"I am guilty."

Wang Jiaping took the lead in kneeling down.

Wanli put the facts in front of them, and he himself felt that he had not done anything after he had been in the cabinet for so long.

Therefore, when Wanli said this, he immediately agreed very much.

In fact, this is the case. In the past few years of Wanli's rule, he has not done anything extraordinary. He is a very decent emperor. He will be the future, but he can't make any achievements.

The king and his subjects live together.

Wanli himself was also very depressed. He wanted to get out of the shadow of Zhang Juzheng. If you want to prove that Zhang Juzheng was wrong, whipping the corpse cannot explain the problem. You have to come up with the right thing. The change in Li Shimin's Xuanwu Gate is a great shame for Confucianism, but in the end, they can prove that they are the destiny of heaven. If you can't come up with the right thing, why do you say that Zhang Juzheng is wrong?

Actually, it's just a joke.

And talking is human nature. It is always right to say that others are always right, and that is not good, but the problem is that when you sit in this seat, you can't come up with something better than others.

History has proved that even if Zhang Juzheng is greedy for money and lust, even if Zhang Juzheng is stubborn, etc.... he is right, because no one can do better than him, and whether he is excellent or not depends on his peers.

Even if I was a useless piece of scrap iron, and when there was a pile of plastic around us, I must have been picked up first.

When Wang Jiaping knelt down, many ministers also knelt down one after another.

But Yang Mingshen argued: "Your Majesty, this inaction does not mean that there is no governance..."

Wanli immediately said, "What you said is right. This inaction does not mean that there is no governance. However, the problems mentioned in the memorial a few years ago have not been resolved yet, and the treasury tax revenue is decreasing year by year. Where is this governance? The words of the saints are not used to cover up your incompetence.

What Guo Dan said is right. The way to cultivate oneself is what you should have done before you enter the court. If you fail to cultivate yourself, how can you govern the country and how can you pacify the world? Of course, you can't become an official in the court. However, you put the cart before the horse and govern the country and pacify the world by using the way to cultivate oneself. This is contrary to the words of the saint. How can the world prosper?”

You quote the scriptures and I will tell you the data.

No matter how hard you can argue, you cannot deny the facts. The facts are that since Zhang Juzheng's death, the treasury income has been getting smaller every year, but the facts are that no problem has been solved.

Fang Fengshi and other ministers with conscience blushed.

"What a pity!"

Wanli sighed: "It's a pity that the one who knows me the most is a humble little businessman. Alas...!"

As he said that, he suddenly raised his hand to pick the crown.

The ministers were shocked.

When you win the crown, are you going to abdicate and give way to the wise?

You're having a lot of fun.

"This is all my crime. My crime should be punished. Your Majesty must not underestimate himself."

"Your Majesty, you can't do it!"

Zhang Cheng was so anxious that he was about to rush forward.

The atmosphere suddenly became very tense.

Wanli stopped Zhang Cheng with his eyes, then took off the crown, placed it on the table, and put it on the gold wire scarf. Without the thick crown, his fat face looked even more cute and his affinity doubled.

"Li Gui."

"I'm here."

"Send this crown to the spiritual throne of the ancestors and sects." Wanli said.

"Your Majesty, this...why is this?" Shen Shixing raised his head, looking confused.

Wanli said loudly: "What is virtue? The world is prosperous and the people are rich. That is virtue. Only when the world is prosperous can this virtue be worn on my head. Otherwise, it would be just a cover of my ears and stealing bells and deceive myself. In ancient times, King Goujian of Yue slept on firewood and tasted gall, and now I will imitate the ancients and go to the ancients to govern. If the world does not prosper, I will never bring this crown."

It's really a wise king's style.

Wang Jiaping's eyes were immediately moved, and his eyes were blurred. What else could he ask for to serve such a wise emperor? He shouted: "Your Majesty is wise."

"Your Majesty's wiseness."

The ministers shouted in unison.

Although this is contrary to the etiquette system, it is not enough to not speak. Go to Guantuzhi and listen to it, how domineering it is!

But in fact, the fat guy’s purpose is very simple, just to protect his neck, because the crown is too heavy, and his neck is sore and he is not convenient to move!

At the same time, Guo Dan, who is far away in Kaifeng Prefecture, is also in a negotiation with Su Xu.

Compared to the first negotiation, the two sides are already aware of the bottom line and have more substantial significance this time.

"Guo Dan, I still want to advise you again. The college will only drag you down. It's true that too much words will lead to mistakes!"

Seeing that Guo Dan was determined to refuse to close the Yinuo Academy, Su Xu couldn't help but think hard.

Guo Dan knew that the more he refused, the more he would be determined to cooperate with him, and bowed and said, "Thank you for the good advice from the Grand Secretary, but this person is in the world and cannot help himself. Even if you all leave, Yinuo Academy will not be able to be locked up. After all, this college is to cultivate talents for His Majesty."

It seems that this kid has noticed it! Su Xu said intimately, but the play still has to be done, and sighed in dismay.

Guo Dan said again: "Grandmaster, I think things have not yet made it to the point of life and death. If we can cooperate, it will be a win-win situation. I wonder how the Grandmaster is considering it?"

Su Xu was silent for a while and said, "But just your remarks are difficult to show your sincerity!"

Guo Dan hurriedly said, "I don't know how to show my sincerity?"

Su Xu said: "I hope you can allow other merchants to come here to open printing workshops and paper workshops, and no restrictions can be imposed."

Guo Dan was stunned and then smiled and said, "It seems that it is not me who prevented other merchants from coming here to do business, but your student Yushi Huang."

Su Xu said, "You don't have to worry about this."

Guo Dan pondered for a moment and understood the intention of the old fox.

The purpose is to gain dominance, because in academics and education, Su Xu is not afraid of Guo Dan. However, in this transaction, Su Xu is quite afraid of Guo Dan. He cannot tolerate Guo Dan controlling all educational resources.

This poses too much a threat to him.

This time, Guo Dan was in a good mood and helped them print newspapers and magazines. He would not allow them to print in the future, so they would become mute.

Moreover, education must be continuously invested and cannot be achieved immediately. He must also serve the financial owners and let them come here to make money. It can be said that they kill two birds with one stone.

Guo Dan originally wanted to take over this profit, but as Su Xu said, he couldn't take everything, and he got a piece of the pie. He smiled and said, "I don't care. I like competition very much. Only by making competition can we make progress. But this transaction is about transactions, and transactions are not charity. You can come here to build a printing workshop, but whether you can make money depends on your ability."

Su Xu nodded and said, "Of course."

Although he is not a businessman, he also sees the profits in it. There are so many colleges that have to print many books, and they have the advantages of content and connections. As long as they are willing to spend money, they can also be good craftsmen. He believes that in this regard, they can compete with Guo Dan.

Guo Dan said again: "Now that I have sincerity, I wonder how we should cooperate?"

Su Xu said: "It is not the time now. When the time is ripe, we can start cooperation."

Guo Dan said curiously: "The time is ripe?"

Su Xu smiled and said, "As long as you retreat first, the opportunity will naturally come."

Retreat? Guo Dan frowned a little, thought for a while, and then understood.
Chapter completed!
