Chapter 918 Undecided, the struggle for the country(1/2)
If something happens, there will be a dispute over the foundation of the country.
This is already a cliché!
But it has to be said that the "country between the foundation of the country" has helped the bureaucratic group turn defeat into victory several times and curb the imperial power.
It is even more powerful than Guo Dan's contract, and it is considered to be invincible.
Zhang Youde, the head of the Ministry of Works, took the lead in submitting the emperor to ask whether the crown prince is to be appointed this year. If the crown prince is to be appointed, the Ministry of Works will have to start preparing. If it is too late, it may be too late.
Because Wanli did say last year that everyone actually remembered the establishment of the crown prince this year, but because Wanli was very strong this year, the ministers did not dare to mention it.
But now Wanli is constantly aggressive, which makes the ministers angry. You want to encircle us in all directions, and you will be exempted from our privileges. If you want to take the imperial examination here, you must fight back.
The reason why the Ministry of Works is willing to lead the way is because the Ministry of Works suffered heavy losses in this adjustment, so they are willing to be the first to be the leader. If they win, the Ministry of Works may be able to win back the championship.
The public opinion in the court immediately turned to the eldest son of the emperor, and the ministers began to submit memorials one after another, asking Wanli to fulfill his promise and establish the crown prince as soon as possible.
Royal Racecourse.
"They will also use this matter to coerce me. It seems that they are all in poverty."
Wanli snorted and asked again: "Does all the ministers in the court support the establishment of the eldest son of the emperor as the crown prince?"
Tian Yi immediately said: "Report to Your Majesty, that's not the case. There are also some ministers who support the establishment of wise men but not the founding chief, but they have not yet spoken out yet. I think they should want to see your attitude first."
It has to be said that the environment is much better now than before, and some ministers have gradually turned to Wanli.
After all, this is actually a matter of standing up.
They believe that Wanli may win.
Unfortunately, Wanli is not in the palace, so they have to wait for Wanli to shake the flag.
Zhang Cheng was a little anxious and said, "Your Majesty, you have to be cautious in this matter. Whether it is supportive of the eldest son of the emperor or the eldest son of the emperor is still the majority. And this time, the people's voices in supporting the eldest son of the emperor are also very high. If they fight head-on..."
Although he had not finished speaking, his meaning was very obvious. The situation might get out of control and the result was unpredictable.
Tian Yi nodded and said, "I also suggest that you drag it back."
Wanli pondered for a while and suddenly asked, "Did Concubine Wang Gong's physical condition improve?"
Zhang Cheng was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said, "Report to Your Majesty, Concubine Wang Gong's body has long been recovered, and the Empress Dowager also takes good care of Concubine Wang Gong. Now Concubine Wang Gong is following the Empress Dowager to eat and live."
When the imperial concubine abused Concubine Wang Gong, it aroused public anger and demanded the removal of the imperial concubine. This led to Wanli having to make concessions and to place the food, clothing, housing and transportation of Concubine Wang Gong from Guanglu Temple, and at the same time built a residence for Concubine Wang Gong and transferred it to Cining Palace. Only then did the ministers give up.
After hearing this, Wanli said with no expression on his face, "You go and arrange it and go back to the palace tomorrow."
It is related to the foundation of the country, and he has to go back to the palace.
"I obey the order."
......
Guo Dan does not have such troubles at the moment, because his two sons are still very young, so it is too early to talk about inheriting the family property. What he is worried about is that he really has no time to accompany his newborn son recently, and the territory has been taken down, but the affairs are also increasing exponentially, and arrangements alone may take one or two years.
Only after having a night meal can he take time out and sit in the hall with Kou Weisha, Kou Shouxin, Kou Chengxiang, and Xiaoyingba, and enjoy the joy of family.
"Hold high! Hold high high!"
"Prince! Prince!"
Guo Dan held the baby and let it go, which made the baby open his mouth and laugh.
Kou Chengxiang looked at him so envious, so she crawled directly at Kou Weisha, "Mom! The child must also raise him high!"
Kou Weisha picked up Kou Chengxiang with both hands, let him sit in his arms, and smiled and said, "Mom doesn't have that much strength."
"It's not possible, it's so dangerous!"
Kou Shouxin stopped Guo Tan and said, "Son-in-law, you are so ruthless and serious. Zhao'er is still young now, but she can't stand your troubles. She will hold her so hard. Otherwise, you will give it to the wet nurse."
Guo Dan quickly obeyed the order and hugged him well, not daring to be presumptuous.
Kou Shouxin is just a matter of this child. He will do whatever he says, and no one dares to disobey.
There is no way, because Kou Shouxin has always been the one who takes care of the children, and the couple does not take care of the children, so naturally they have no right to speak.
After sitting down, Kou Shouxin said again: "Son-in-law, this child has not been named yet. According to Lao Ji, you are the only one in the Guo family. The incense of the Guo family is also very important. Why not just call him Guo Chengsi."
This old man is busy with this matter all day long. Zhaoer is the nickname of the second son, and he also obtained it, but Kou Weisha feels very stressed.
Zhaoer! Zhaoer!
The meaning is very obvious, and it needs to be regenerated.
Guo Tan smiled and said, "I don't really care about the incense issue."
Kou Shouxin bulged his eyes and said, "What do you know? This incense is not important, what's important? If there is no successor, what's the use of making a lot of money? If you don't have a few more while you are young, you'll wait to regret it in the future."
Kou Weisha couldn't help but rush to his mouth.
Guo Dan was cursed and agreed with sweating promisingly: "Yes, yes, yes, you can just make the decision. Haha!" As he said that, he suddenly remembered something again and said: "My father-in-law, there is something that my son-in-law has always wanted to discuss with you."
Kou Shouxin laughed twice, "Is it about your first son-in-law?"
Guo Dan looked at Kou Shouxin in surprise.
Kou Shouxin said, "Yusha has already told me."
Guo Dan first glanced at Kou Weisha gratefully, and then asked nervously: "I wonder what my father-in-law thinks?"
Kou Shouxin smiled and said, "If you don't feel wronged, I have no objection. You and your wife will discuss it."
Seeing Kou Shouxin so generous, Guo Dan was moved by the fact that he was beyond words, so he said, "My father-in-law, why would this second child be named Kou?"
In fact, he has no feelings for the Guo family. His previous memories have become very faint. It can be said that Kou Shouxin is his father-in-law and his father. The Kou family is his home. There is no second home. It doesn’t matter if he is surnamed Guo and Kou, as long as Kou is happy.
Kou Shouxin was stunned and immediately said, "No, this second child must be surnamed Guo, otherwise, I will see my brother Guo Xian in the future. Let's talk about it when you give birth to the third one."
It was really a knife coming from the sky. Kou Weisha hurriedly said, "Dad, daughter..."
Kou Shouxin said again: "Don't you give birth to a child, your father won't force you, but this child must have his surname Guo."
Guo Dan was puzzled when he heard this. It didn't seem like he was talking politely, but he knew that Kou Shouxin really wanted a grandson.
Little did he know that Kou Shouxin was born as a businessman and was very smart. How could he know that Guo Dan was not the other one? He had already thought about what happened in the future. If Kou Weisha's children were all surnamed Kou, and Guo Dan gave birth to someone else's surname Guo, then there might be problems in inheriting the family property in the future.
Although Guo Dan is a son-in-law, everyone knows that he is the head of the family and he has the final say in the big matters.
Kou Shouxin must ensure that one of Kou Weisha's children is surnamed Guo.
It can be seen that this family has great business and will have such problems, but Guo Dan is still young now and is not from a wealthy family, so he still can't understand it for the time being.
Just then, an escort walked in, clasped his fists and said, "Consultant Guo, Your Majesty is here."
Alas... It seems that I have to accompany the fat man to count the money again tonight. Guo Dan was really afraid that Wanli would come here, but there was no way, so he could only hand Chengsi over to the wet nurse and then go to the office.
"Good job, Guo Dan, meets His Majesty."
"No gift!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Guo Dan stood up straight and saw Wanli sitting on the chair with a sad face. He couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, are you worried about the prince again?"
Wanli glanced at him and asked, "Have you heard of it too?"
Guo Dan nodded.
"It seems they are making a lot of noise!"
Wanli smiled coldly and asked Guo Dan again: "What do you think?"
Guo Tan said: "No matter what decision your Majesty makes, he will support his humble position."
This is what I say in my heart.
He didn't care who was established, and he knew that this was inevitable. He supported all the decisions of Wanli.
"How great it would be if everyone was like you." Wanli was both relieved and depressed.
Guo Tan asked: "Your Majesty, is this really that difficult?"
He thought it would be a little bit of a hit at this time, but it had already reached this point anyway.
Wanli did not explain and suddenly asked, "By the way! The imperial concubine has complained about you recently. Xun'er was a teacher at the time, but you have never even met Xun'er before. You are too irresponsible as your teacher."
Why did I get into this matter again? Guo Dan said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, I really don't know how to be a teacher. My father-in-law is still teaching my children."
Wanli said: "I also know your difficulties, but I have no choice. There are not many people supporting Xun'er in the court, and I am not at ease to hand over Xun'er to them. Moreover, I also think your ability is very helpful for governing the country."
Govern the country?
The vassal kings don’t need to learn these things. Obviously, Wanli still wants to abolish the elders and establish the young people.
It seems that Your Majesty has decided to just do this. Guo Dan pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I have a bold idea."
Wanli asked, "What's your thought?"
Guo Dan said: "Let the prince go to Xiao Boye College to study."
"What did you say?"
Wanli said in surprise.
