Chapter 105 Guo Dan's Threat Theory
Under Wang Xijue's order, General Zhao Fei, who had breathed a sigh of relief, quickly dispatched his army, blocked the entire city, and launched a carpet-style search.
But the men were still feeling panic, fearing that this action would cause the war to break out in Nanjing City. This is what they fear the most, and they still hope to hide in the military camp.
However, Wang Xijue was very dissatisfied with this. He threatened that officials would hide in the military camp all day long, which was so concise. So he asked officials from various departments to return to their government offices immediately to perform official duties, otherwise they would be punished for dereliction of duty.
He himself set an example, pulled Wang Yie onto the carriage, went to the Ministry of War, and took charge of the overall situation.
Inside the carriage.
"grown ups."
Wang Yie looked at Wang Xijue and tentatively said: "Now many officials are worried that doing so will trigger a war?"
Wang Xijue shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I was sent by His Majesty. No matter how arrogant Guo Dan is, he will never dare to disobey the holy will."
Wang Yie asked again: "About that paper ball?"
Wang Xijue was a little stunned, then nodded and said, "It was my man who gave it to you."
Wang Yie looked at Wang Xijue suspiciously and said, "Then this matter!"
He was pressured by various forces at that time and was about to issue an ultimatum to Guo Dan to leave Nanjing, but halfway through, he received a piece of paper, which asked him not to expel Guo Dan, and was stamped with a cabinet official seal.
He decided to go home temporarily.
At that time, Wang Yie didn't think too much. He just thought that there might be other arrangements above, but such a major crisis occurred during this period. Looking back, he began to wonder if it was a double act of Wang Xijue and Guo Dan.
Wang Xijue said: "If you expel Guo Dan at that time, the war might have broken out. Guo Dan did not lie to you. He really wanted to provoke a war in Nanzhili, because he was ready for it, just waiting for an opportunity. He currently controls the elite troops from Bozhou, Yunnan and Luzon. At the same time, his Yinuo Insurance and Yinuo Grain Store have purchased a large amount of food and grass, and the Grand Canyon is also under his control. It is simply easy for him to start a war now."
Wang Yie was even more surprised when he heard this and said, "He is going to rebel!"
Wang Xijue just glanced at him.
Wang Yie understood it with his heart, and it was probably because the emperor agreed to it.
Wang Xijue said again: "I am not very clear about the specific details of this. Your Majesty has always summoned Guo Dan alone. I only know that Your Majesty is very angry about Jiangxi's various behaviors. Your Majesty is very concerned about the re-policy and the restoration of the re-propaganda state. Your Majesty hopes that the new policy can replace Zhang Juzheng's policy and achieve his great achievements, so he acquiesced to Guo Dan's behavior in Jiangxi.
But this is very dangerous. With the mutual attack between the two sides, it will sooner or later go to war, which also makes our cabinet deeply worried. However, the purpose of Guo Dan's trip is to win the support of Nanzhili, although he is saying that he will prevent the situation from deteriorating further.
However, our cabinet judged based on Guo Dan's preparation actions that if there was another situation in Jiangxi in Nanzhili, a war would be very likely to break out. So Shougong Shen suggested to His Majesty that the cabinet ministers would be sent to Nanzhili to lead the reform.
I was going to Liaodong to preside over the reform matter, but His Majesty sent me to Nanzhili temporarily. I was afraid that you would break out if you couldn't wait for me to come, because Guo Dan was very eager to start a war to solve the problem. Because once a war broke out, Yinuo Food Tour and the Grand Canyon would benefit greatly. Therefore, I sent someone to come here first, but what I didn't expect was that so many things would happen in just half a month."
"So that's how it is." Wang Yie couldn't help but wipe his sweat. Now he was finally sure that Guo Dan was not scaring him, but really wanted to start a war, and said, "What should we do now?"
Wang Xijue said: "You should have heard of this cabinet reorganization, but you may only know one thing, but not the other. In fact, the main reason why Your Majesty suddenly decided to reform the cabinet and strengthen the cabinet's power was to check and balance Guo Dan, because Guo Dan's strength is now very strong. Not to mention you, he can even walk sideways even in the cabinet department.
Therefore, in the capital, the government and the country were united unprecedentedly, because all the officials in the court felt Guo Dan’s threat.
Shougong Shen sent me here, on the one hand, to prevent the outbreak of the war, and on the other hand, to win the war between officials and Guo Dan, and to control the government's hands with the dominance of reform. This is also our last chance. If the cabinet fails again, then Your Majesty will give it to Guo Dan with full power. After all, the cabinet ended in the previous few times, and Guo Dan won a great victory. Your Majesty is already very disappointed with us. The ultimate reason for Guo Dan's provocation of the war is to seize the dominance of reform. To be honest, once the war destroys Nanzhili, he is the only one who can save Nanzhili."
Wang Yie was sweating in his eyes when he heard this. He never expected that there was still a supreme power and class struggle hidden behind this war.
Wang Xijue sighed and said, "But I didn't expect that you would fall into Guo Dan's trap so easily, almost letting him succeed in his tricks."
Wang Yie hurriedly explained: "Sir, about this!"
Wang Xijue waved his hand, interrupted him, and said, "It is meaningless to talk about who did this matter now. After all, Yi Nuoyaxing has lost more than ten appointments. We must not find the murderer. Otherwise, Guo Dan will definitely make a big fuss about it in order to reduce the prestige of the government. Of course, we cannot arrest Guo Dan for this. Your Majesty will not agree. After all, you are the ones who make the mistake first."
Wang Yie said: "But now that public opinion is everywhere, if you don't give everyone an explanation, the prestige of the government will also be questioned."
Wang Xijue glanced at him meaningfully and said, "We must find a scapegoat."
.
The operation was extremely smooth.
Yinoyaxing was surrounded obediently. Of course, on the first day of the search, they did not find any armed forces or artillery yet.
It turned out to be an empty city plan!
We were scared to death!
This brat!
The men finally stood up.
As long as they can't beat them, they will not be afraid.
Xu Weizhi, Wan Jian and others immediately asked Wang Xijue to bring Guo Dan to justice.
"No!"
Wang Yie immediately stood up and said, "After all, we have not found the existence of a cannon yet, so we should not act rashly."
Wan Jian thought that even if there was, he would not be able to hit me, and it would not be possible to hit me again. My mansion had been destroyed, so he said, "It is precisely because he did not find out that Guo Dan should be arrested immediately to avoid repeating the same mistake."
Yu Qi suddenly stood up and said, "If we didn't find it, it means we have no evidence for the time being. How can we catch people randomly without evidence? If this is the case, how should we calculate the life of the Nuoya Store employee?"
Wan Jian looked at Yu Qi in surprise.
Where are you standing on?
Cen Qian also immediately said: "If we had handled it impartially before, things would not have reached this point. It is precisely because we cannot repeat the same mistakes that we should handle it impartially."
The six ministers stood up one after another and expressed their willingness to deal with it impartially.
Xu Weizhi and Wan Jian realized that the atmosphere was a little wrong.
But they didn't know that Wang Yie had already communicated with the officials of the six ministries and told them that the deeper reason was the struggle for power. In other words, it was to promote the theory of Guo Dan's threat. Guo Dan, a businessman, could already threaten the status of officials, or even replace them. Now we must unite, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
His army may just be out of the city.
But he can start a war at any time.
Seeing that Guo Dan was fearless and didn't even want to escape, they believed it, so they chose to support Wang Xijue in order to fight Guo Dan.
This is not difficult to judge. With Guo Dan's current power, if the cabinet fails to implement the new policy, the emperor will inevitably contract it to Guo Dan. Once Guo Dan starts a war, they will be helpless!
The only thing Guo Dan lacks now is administrative power. Once the emperor contracts the reform power to Guo Dan, then Guo Dan also involves administration, finance, military and political affairs, so everyone has nothing to do.
Although the new policy will also hurt their rights, the official position is his core interest. Without this, nothing will be gone. Guo Dan is not an official. Once this power is involved, it is equivalent to shaking the official position.
They did not trust Wang Xijue, but Wang Xijue was a cabinet minister and an official. The cabinet was promoted by the cabinet, and the basic foundation of the official position would not be shaken.
On the other hand, without Guo Dan's threat, they would never have supported Wang Xijue in promoting reform.
The two evils are the least!
After they had finished speaking, Wang Xijue said: "If there is no evidence, I will rashly arrest Guo Dan. It will be difficult for me to explain to Your Majesty. After all, Guo Dan is the financial advisor who personally hired for a financial advisor, so you must find the evidence first. In addition, so far, all I have heard of you is your one-sided statement. There are also unfair judgments on this. I plan to meet Guo Dan in person."
Guo Dan, who was surrounded by thousands of troops, slept in a dark and unconscious manner. During this period, Aunt Xu rested for a few hours, and he almost never closed his eyes for two or three nights, because he was also very nervous, so he relaxed and slept for a whole day before he got up.
However, Li Hu believes that Guo Dan is showing off. If you beat others, you don’t go to rest. When you are surrounded by others, you run to rest. If this is not showing off, then what is it?
The first thing Guo Dan did when he got to talk with Wang Xijue was to do, and he had nothing to do. After all, if he didn't give a result, no one dared to cooperate with Yinuoya Store.
Inside the office.
"It's unreasonable! It's unreasonable!"
Wang Xijue paced back and forth in the house, with anger on his face, pointed at the couple and scolded: "Are you afraid of being punished by God if you bombard the mansion of the Minister, the granary of the Duke, and the transport ships for dozens of innocent lives?"
Guo Dan leaned on the sofa, smiled with apologies and said, "I'm really sorry, I don't want to do it either. I have sent a message to the Grand Canyon to speed up the accuracy of artillery. If this happens again next time, I will be able to accurately bombard the Shangshu and the Minister to avoid hurting the innocent, and let the men understand that if other people's lives are ants, they will definitely become ants. After all, there are many people outside this person who are stronger than them."
Aunt Xu smiled and said, "I believe that the adults must have not paced back and forth in front of those officials, and were full of anger, accusing them of killing innocent people indiscriminately."
Guo Dan tsk: "Madam, you have read a lot of poetry and books, so Cao Pi said it well. He was born from the same roots, so why are we too anxious to fight each other? You will naturally understand the truth."
Aunt Xu said, "Husband, that's what Cao Zhi said."
"Uh, no one will say this brother."
