"Son-in-law, uncle has been waiting for you."

As soon as Guo Dan returned to Yashang, Xiao An went up to meet him.

Guo Tan asked, "What's he asking for me?"

Xiao An shook his head and said, "I don't know."

When he arrived at the office, Xu Jirong sat on his office chair, imitating him to put his bipod on the desk, and was chatting with Zhu Yaotai with a silly face.

"Dandan, you are back, let me wait."

When Xu Jirong saw Guo Dan, he immediately complained.

Guo Dan walked up, sat in front of Xu Jirong, and said, "What are you asking for me?"

Xu Jirong's eyes turned and suddenly said to Zhu Yaoma: "Miss Fangchen, you go out for a while first. I have something to talk to Dandan."

"oh."

Zhu Yaoma got up and went out.

Guo Dan looked at Xu Jirong curiously.

Xu Jirong whispered: "Dandan, you must help me with this."

Guo Tan asked, "What's the matter?"

Xu Jirong said: "Do you know, I wanted to go find my aunt this morning, but I didn't know that I saw a sneaky figure coming out of my aunt's house. It's so outrageous. This bastard dares... dare... If I know who it is, I will definitely put it apart."

"Are early this morning?"

Guo Dan frowned and asked, "When?"

Xu Jirong said: "It's just that the curfew has just been lifted."

"Just just lifted the curfew?" Guo Dan pondered for a moment, suddenly glanced at Xu Jirong, and immediately said angrily: "I said, uncle, when did you become so cunning, not at all open and honest, and you even turned around and scolded me."

Xu Jirong's eyes shook a few times and said, "What...I don't understand what scolds you."

"Come on."

Guo Dan snorted: "The person you see is me, don't say you don't know me."

"I...I didn't see clearly."

Xu Jirong asked again: "But Dandan, you... why did you come out of my aunt's house early in the morning?"

"I knew you were asking this."

Guo Dan rolled his eyes and said, "I didn't sleep for a night because of something last night, so I went to your aunt to ask for advice before dawn today. It's hard to tell you what the matter is, but I can tell you that I just went to the palace for this."

Xu Jirong was very smart and not stupid at all in Aunt Xu's affairs, because he has been focusing on breaking up couples since he was a child. He had met Aunt Xu before. After this temptation, he knew that Guo Dan had not lie and hurriedly said, "Dandan, of course I believe in you."

"roll."

Guo Dan waved his hand.

Xu Jirong laughed and said, "You won't be angry with me, are you?"

"It's not that angry, but...!"

Guo Dan asked, "But uncle, are you really doing it for your aunt?"

Xu Jirong said: "I won't do my good for my aunt, but for whom."

Guo Tan said: "So you have a lot of concubines yourself, and at the same time, you hope that your aunt will live alone to live a lonely life."

Xu Jirong blinked and said, "Of course...of course not, but I haven't found anyone worthy of my aunt in this world."

Guo Dan laughed and said, "What do you mean is God destined that your aunt will die alone?"

"I...I don't mean that."

When he was speaking, Xu Jirong had already scratched his cheeks and turned red.

Guo Dan sighed and said, "Of course I know that you are trying to protect your aunt, just like you protect you, but put your heart in mind, do you sometimes feel that your protection is a bit redundant, even if you know that he is doing it for your own good?"

"I...!" Xu Jirong looked up, pouted, and stopped talking.

Guo Dan said: "You go back and think about it carefully. What is the best way to be considered for your aunt's good."

Dongdongdongdongdongdong!

A knock suddenly sounded at the back door.

"Please come in."

With a creak, the door opened and Aunt Xu walked in.

Xu Jirong quickly put his feet down and shouted with a guilty look on his face: "Aunt!"

Aunt Xu glanced at him and said, "Rong'er, don't you have anything to do?"

"Ah? Oh, yes, yes, then... Then I'll go and work hard first, Dandan, I'll come to you next time."

Xu Jirong walked out in a panic.

After he left, Aunt Xu opened her eyes wide and stared at Guo Dan.

Guo Dan said awkwardly: "Laby, why are you looking at me like this?"

Aunt Xu asked, "Do you like meddling in other people's business so much?"

Guo Dan hurriedly said, "Mr., it was my uncle who came to talk to me, not meddling in other people's business. And as my uncle's friend, why is it wrong for me to say this?"

Aunt Xu asked back: "If I tell Kou Weisha the idea of ​​you eager to start a war for your own benefit, I can also say that it is for Weisha, but would you think so?"

Guo Tan smiled and said, "Lapishman, you are really wrong. I don't mind the layman telling Weisha every word I say to him. The reason is very simple. We husband and wife have always been honest and honest. I will not deliberately hide anything from Weisha. What kind of person I am, my wife should know better than the layman.

But you are a layman, you are very self-cultivated and never speak out about right and wrong behind your back. But you can’t ask everyone to be like you. I am a little child, and there is no difference between me and the civilians on the street. I also like to inquire about other people’s privacy."

Aunt Xu suddenly felt a hint of embarrassment on her face.

Guo Dan looked at her suspiciously and said, "Laby Mr., you won't have said bad things about me behind my back."

Aunt Xu hesitated for a moment and said, "As the saying goes, do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you."

When she said this, her cheeks were blushing. She was really a wise man. She calculated that it was more appropriate for her to use because she designed Guo Dan behind her back first.

"Wow, layman, you...!"

Guo Dan suddenly changed the subject and said, "But I don't mind, because I believe what the layman said is definitely not as bad as me."

Aunt Xu pursed her lower lips and said, "It seems that you are very self-aware."

"This is my biggest advantage." Guo Dan laughed.

Don't do to others what you do not want others to do to you, but convinced Aunt Xu herself. She thought it might be retribution, so she didn't want to be angry with Guo Dan. Seeing that Guo Dan was so relaxed, she asked, "It seems that you have gained a lot in this trip."

Guo Dan said: "I can only say that it is expected. After all, I am not going to ask for money, but I provide His Majesty with a very attractive plan. But whether to send troops in the end is his Majesty's decision."

Aunt Xu said: "I always feel that you are a little too impulsive. This is not as simple as you think."

"I already know how complicated it is."

Guo Dan nodded and suddenly asked, "Have you seen boiling water?"

Aunt Xu nodded subconsciously.

Guo Dan said: "When it comes to that point, the water vapor will jump towards the lid. It is not that the water wants to break through the lid of the pot, or the lid wants to press the water. It is because this point has arrived, the water vapor needs to break through the lid of the pot, and the lid of the pot is to press the water vapor desperately, which is that simple."

Maybe this matter, in his opinion, is that simple, but others don't think so.

Toast has existed for thousands of years, and it is not easy to eradicate it.

However, Guo Dan's plan really made Wanli very moved. If he could solve this problem, it would be a great achievement. He has always been eager to get out of the shadow of Zhang Juzheng and leave his own political legacy for future generations. Of course, what he left to future generations in history was the saying "The Ming Dynasty was destroyed by Wanli."

He had no intention of doing goodbye that day, so he suddenly held a cabinet meeting.

Wanli asked: "You must have read all the memorials about Sichuan Governor Li Hualong."

Wang Jiaping immediately said: "Report to Your Majesty, I highly agree with Li Hualong's suggestion. Maybe Ye Mengxiong was not wrong, but this matter should be considered from the overall situation. The stability of the southwest region still requires their Yang family. The court should still take pacification measures to prevent the situation from deteriorating further."

Wang Xijue said: "But blindly appeasement will only make Yang Yinglong worse. On the one hand, the court should appease it, but on the other hand, it should also hold Yang Yinglong accountable. I believe that Yang Yinglong should understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts."

The routine is still the same, just to make a blow on the surface, the court will make enough face, and then stuff a red date in the back, and you will make enough money.

This is a tacit understanding between the Central Committee and the Toast.

Wanli originally planned to do this, but now his idea has changed. He said: "The two beloved ministers have made sense, but this is to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. The court must have a clear goal, whether to send officials to govern or maintain the chieftain system, the swaying side and side will only restrict us."

The cabinet minister sitting was slightly shocked.

Wanli actually picked up this matter and said, what is he going to do?

The upper class also had a tacit understanding about the chieftain and never made it clear, because once it was clear, it was afraid that the chieftain would rebound.

The governors below can call for abolishing the chieftain system every day because the governor and chieftain are natural opponents, but the emperor and the ministers never expressed their attitude towards this.

Shen Shixing said: "Your Majesty, according to my opinion, the court's goals have never changed. It is imperative to abolish the chieftain system, but the time has not yet come."

Wanli asked: "When is the time to be considered? Will the court have to wait until the chieftains are tired of it and take the initiative to return the power to the court? For hundreds of years, our dynasty has been trying to weaken the chieftain's power.

However, Yang Yinglong's power became increasingly powerful. Not only could he call the wind and rain in Bozhou, but he even affected Sichuan, Guizhou and Lake. As long as the court's attitude towards Yang Yinglong changed slightly, the three places would immediately be in peace.

It’s not that I don’t have the patience to wait, but waiting blindly makes me see no hope.”

The cabinet ministers were shocked, what did the emperor want to do?

Shen Shixing asked carefully: "What will Your Majesty do?"

Wanli pondered for a little, saying, "The main reason why the court was restrained by Yang Yinglong was that the most elite troops in the southwest were all in Yang Yinglong's hands, and there were no strong generals and strong soldiers in the surrounding areas who could compete with him. If there was any war, the elite troops might have to be dispatched from the Liaodong region, so Yang Yinglong was fearless.

I hope to train an elite soldier in the south to specifically shock the southwest. If I don’t do this, Yang Yinglong will only become more severe. At that time, it will make the court appear more passive and spend more money to solve these problems."

Several cabinet ministers looked at each other.

I have to say that what Wanli said makes sense. Why Yang Yinglong is so arrogant is because there are no opponents around him, so he let his subordinates make trouble everywhere. The officers and soldiers from Gui, Sichuan and Hubei cannot beat him.

If there is an elite soldier who checks and balances Yang Yinglong there, Yang Yinglong will definitely be restrained.

Xu Guodao: "Your Majesty, if you want to train an elite soldier, it will cost a lot of money. In addition, if Yang Yinglong knows it, he will be suspicious and will backfire."

Wanli said: "Therefore, this army requires no more demands. I plan to establish a Shenji camp north of Huguang and purchase the best firearms from Weihui Mansion."

"Weihui Mansion?"

Wang Jiaping and Wang Xijue said in unison.

This trick is so familiar!

Wanli glanced at them and smiled and said, "I know what you are thinking, but I don't mind this time. You just think so. At least this can be used to confuse Yang Yinglong."

Shen Shixing hurriedly said, "Your Majesty's plan is really brilliant."

It was so embarrassing to be seen by the emperor.

Wang Xijue and other cabinet ministers hesitated for a while and expressed their support.

This emperor is becoming more and more shrewd and not easy to fool.

In fact, they are hard to judge now whether Wanli wants to fight or buy it.

The last time the military of Weihui Mansion was ruined by the nine border towns. The reason was that the interest groups controlled the military interests in the north. Now Wanli was going to establish a force in the south. This part of the profit was not available before, so of course it could be handed over to Weihui Mansion.
