After this big wave, the fat man turned his back, which caused another huge wave, which made the ministers confused.

No matter how shrewd the minister was, he did not expect that Wanli would suddenly resume the examination and achieve the law in order to strengthen the power of the cabinet.

There was no sign of premature.

And it's not scientific!

But this is actually what Wanli had planned long ago.

Wanli himself also reflected on why, in the past few years when he took power, he had no achievements except for the liquidation of Zhang Juzheng. In the final analysis, it was because the interests in the court were intricate and affected the whole body.

More importantly, his imperial rights and interests were also mixed up.

It caused everyone to be unable to move.

After Guo Dan contracted Wei Hui Mansion, he saw the dawn of hope, so he chose to cut off the court and transfer all his interests to Guo Dan.

After the military system reform was completed, his interests were basically transferred.

What's left is harmless, and even if you lose it, you won't feel sorry for it.

At this point in time, he had two choices. First, if he continues to develop like this, he will empty the entire court. This is not impossible.

Second, eliminate the administration and rectify the ritual.

Of course he would not choose the former. If the court was abolished, he would be a businessman, not an emperor.

The key is one time and another.

No matter how hard the court is doing, he doesn't care, because all his interests have been transferred. The most important point is that no matter how powerful the cabinet is, at least it is impossible to endanger the imperial power at present.

This actually solved the Ming Dynasty's cabinet system, which was a very big drawback.

The power of this cabinet was a very big problem in the Ming Dynasty. According to Zhu Yuanzhang's idea, the cabinet was a group of secretaries and had no decision-making power. All matters of all sizes must be approved by the emperor.

If the emperor is very diligent, this system can still work well.

Once the emperor is lazy, many problems will arise. Eunuchs, cabinets, censors, court officials, and silly ministers cannot tell the difference. Without a center of power, the fight will be unbreakable.

But in the Ming Dynasty, eunuchs were still in power, because eunuchs were extended to the imperial power, and they were both prosperous and both rich and both rich and damaged.

The emperor was more at ease to hand over the power to the eunuch.

But Wanli's situation is very special. He was defeated by Zhang Juzheng, Feng Bao and Empress Dowager Li since he was a child. He had no temper at all in the past ten years and was convinced, which led to him not trusting the power of those eunuchs, Zhang Jing and Zhang Cheng, which was completely incomparable to the great eunuchs like Feng Bao and Liu Jin.

In fact, in history, the eunuchs still did not take power in the face of Wanli's negligence. One very important reason was that during that period, Wanli was constantly weakening the power of the cabinet. The cabinet was extremely weak, and party struggles broke out in the court. If there was an absolute authority and the party struggles could not break out so fiercely, then of course he would not need to give the eunuch too much power to control the cabinet.

Now, he can rely on the business empire established by Guo Dan for him to balance the entire bureaucratic group.

The current problem is that the court is now extremely weak by their imperial and Shang combination, and it is difficult to reach a balance with Guo Dan. He wants to support the court again, strengthen the power of the cabinet, eliminate the administration of officials, rectify corruption, and create a powerful court.

This is the art of the emperor.

Shenfu.

"This is really incredible!" Xu Guo racked his brains and couldn't figure it out.

This is how you accompany the king as a tiger. The emperor and anyone have different ways of thinking.

Wang Xijue said: "I think this is reasonable. If Your Majesty does not do this, the court will lose its power step by step. Then it may be that Guo Dan's family will dominate, which is not what Your Majesty wants to see."

Xu Guo frowned and said, "Even if Your Majesty hopes to use us to check and balance Guo Dan, you shouldn't resume the exam and return the exam to the exam to the next level. Is it obvious that it is impossible to rehabilitate the Zhang Ge Lao?"

"Of course, your Majesty cannot rehabilitate Mr. Zhang. In fact, these two things have nothing to do with each other." Shen Shixing said: "This abolition and restoration are just a matter of your Majesty's thoughts."

This statement reveals the key.

This is the emperor's will.

Abolition and restoration do not depend on other factors, but entirely on the emperor's thoughts.

However, in this thought, the ministers, court officials and censors were so scared that they were shuddered.

What is this to do?

This test was a way torture officials to death.

The terrifying shadow has not completely dissipated yet.

Now it's about to make a comeback.

"Sir, the tyranny of Zhang Juzheng is Zhang Juzheng, how can he recover?"

Zou Yongde excitedly said to the Wang family.

The censor hated and feared the examination of the law.

Wang Jiaping said: "Don't be excited first. According to the sacred intention, there is no conclusion yet. The cabinet will definitely modify the previous test method to obtain the essence and remove the dross."

When Zou Yongde and the others heard this, they thought, feelings are the final say in your cabinet, wouldn’t that be even worse? But they didn’t want to make things difficult for Wang Jiaping, a good man, and asked again: “Why did Your Majesty suddenly resume the exam and achieve the exam? There was no sign of any advancement in advance.”

They suspected that this was the reason Shen Shixing did.

This hidden fox.

"this...!"

Wang Jiaping stroked his beard and shook his head and said, "I'm going to hide it from you, this... we don't know much about this. His Majesty suddenly convened a cabinet meeting. As for the reason, His Majesty just mentioned that the court ministers were far inferior to Guo Dan, and were repeatedly humiliated by Guo Dan in all kinds of ways, so he proposed to resume the examination and achieve the method."

Zou Yongde and the others couldn't help looking at each other.

Is this the rhythm of dealing with Guo Dan?

In this case...!

The most tangled thing about this is the censor group. Shen Shixing was the enemy of the past and Guo Dan was the enemy of the present. However, if the power of the cabinet is not strengthened, it would be difficult to compete with Guo Dan.

It is still vivid in the memory of the cabinet's power, but Zhang Juzheng caused them pain.

What should I do?

For a moment, many officials were immediately confused.

Yinuoya!

Aunt Xu and Guo Dan sat on both sides of the tea table, and firelight flashed on the fireplace on the side.

"I really didn't know in advance."

Guo Dan shook his head and said, "I have always only talked to His Majesty about business matters. As for the government, His Majesty has rarely talked to me, and I don't understand it very much." As he said that, he looked at Aunt Xu again, "Madam thinks this is a good or a bad thing for me?"

Aunt Xu pondered for a little, and said, "At present, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. As an emperor, naturally, I don't want to be the only one. If you really control everything, how can Your Majesty feel at ease, then you are not far from death.

Your Majesty’s resumption of the examination and strengthening the power of the cabinet to check and balance you is actually a good thing for you. But it also proves that you have great power to compete with the entire court. You have never considered this level before, how should you go on?"

She vaguely felt that Guo Dan must have a last move.

"It seems that the lady doesn't know the businessman."

Guo Dan said: "The nature of a businessman is to pursue profits, and politics is another science. These are two completely different professions and must be handed over to professionals. Therefore, the highest level of businessman is actually Lu Buwei's extraordinary goods, which can transfer interests to the power holders, thereby gaining the protection of power and pursuing more benefits. Anyway, as far as I know, this businessman will die very ugly when he comes to play politics in person."

Aunt Xu asked, “That is to say, are you confident of maintaining this kind of relationship with Your Majesty?”

Guo Dan nodded confidently and smiled: "Actually, I am not afraid of this situation, because this will definitely happen. Even if there is no emperor in this world, because power and interests exist forever and are the most attractive.

But the plan will never keep up with the changes. I still need professionals like my wife to analyze the changes in the situation in the court and make adjustments so that I can maintain the current relationship with Your Majesty.”

Aunt Xu pondered for a moment and said, "But with your current status, what I can help you is actually very limited, but I know there is someone who can help you."

"who?"

"Mr. Xu."

"Xu Wei?"

"Um."

Aunt Xu nodded and said, "Because Mr. Xu had failed once in this regard and almost died because of it, I think his suggestions are more profound than mine."

Guo Tan smiled and said, "Madam, don't underestimate yourself. Recommending talents is actually the greatest help."

He was not like those censors, who were frightened to death.

Although he was completely dependent on the emperor, the emperor also had to rely on him, because they were a combination of emperors and merchants, essentially a cooperative relationship, not a master-servant relationship. His current work is not based on the emperor's will, because the fat man made money was nothing more than extortion, and he mainly based on the emperor's needs.

If he collapses now, the entire platform built by Wanli will collapse.

Power and interests complement each other. Power is transformed into interests and interests are transformed into power. The two are not hostile relationships.

The emperor and the prime minister have natural contradictions.

The hatred between colleagues is naked.

In fact, Lu Buwei's strange goods are already the capitalist's ceiling, but at the same time it also provides capitalists with profound lessons, that is, once a businessman comes to an end in person, he will have an inevitable conflict with the emperor.

On this battlefield, capitalists often cannot beat politicians.

This kind of professional job is extremely professional. If you can beat other people's professional skills in an amateur, it would be a bit nonsense, unless you are a genius of a thousand-year-old level, Guo Dan obviously has not reached this level.

The ultimate form of capitalists is to spend money to recruit a group of politicians to play this game, and the purpose of playing this game is to make money.

Guo Dan’s situation is a bit special. He comes up and matches the emperor directly. He is the emperor’s weapon to make money, and the emperor is also his spokesperson in the court.
