Chapter 249: It's Over
Zhu Biao said helplessly, "Father, the son has already brought those thieves to Jingshi. Moreover, those thieves have confessed.
After a while, the son presented the confession to his father! ”
Lao Zhu asked directly: "Where is the confession?" ”
Zhu Biao was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Father, this is a court meeting, it is not appropriate to delay the major affairs of the court because of a few thieves, why don't you wait until the next court, and then deal with this matter slowly!" ”
Hearing this, Lan Yu and those imperial histories suddenly felt bad.
Lao Zhu said coldly: "In the past two days, the matter of the fourth child has been boiling in Beijing, and even at the court meeting, the civil and military officials are all indignant, and they are more concerned than the other.
In this way, the matter will be made clear directly at the court, so as not to delay official business after the hundreds of officials go down to the court! ”
Zhu Biao was helpless, he still didn't catch up.
"In this way, please also ask my father to pass on Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo, and Cao Zhen, the Marquis of Jingchuan!"
"Accurate!"
As Lao Zhu's words fell, there was a summons outside the hall.
Soon, Li Jinglong and Cao Zhen, holding a thick stack of confessions in their hands, hurriedly walked in.
"Weichen Li Jinglong!"
"Weichen Cao Zhen!"
"See Your Majesty, Your Majesty St. Ann!"
"I'm there! Get up! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Present the confession in your hand!"
"Yes!"
As the two stacks of confessions were slowly presented in front of Lao Zhu, Lan Yu and the imperial historians suddenly stiffened, and even trembled a little.
In the entire hall, there was a dead silence, only the voice of Lao Zhu opening his confession.
Suddenly, Lao Zhu, who had just read a few pages of confession, was directly furious.
"Good, good, what a bunch of thieves!"
All the officials couldn't help but shudder in unison.
Lao Zhu looked at His Royal Highness's hundred officials, and said coldly: "Lan Yu, Min Renjin, Yin Shi, Yue Ji, Fei Liu!" You and others stand up for us, take a good look, these confessions are written, but someone is framing you? ”
Lan Yu, Yu Shi Min Renjin, Yin Shi and others suddenly popped and knelt on the ground trembling.
"Your Majesty forgives the sin, it must be those thieves who are framing Weichen!"
"Framed?"
Lao Zhu's face became more and more gloomy, "At the beginning, we were a little strange, you were most tired of Min Renjin and Yin Shi in the past, and often opposed them.
I didn't expect that in order to frame the fourth child, you actually joined forces with Min Renjin and Yin Shi, which is really bold! ”
Zhu Biao hurriedly said: "Father, the Duke of Liangguo was also bewitched by those thieves, so he did this wrong thing, and asked his father to know it!" ”
However, Lao Zhu, who would be furious, did not pay attention to Zhu Biao's explanation, but directly ordered.
"Hmph, someone!"
Suddenly, a team of Han generals rushed in.
"Let's take a few traitors down and interrogate them well. As for Lan Yu, he is confined at home, and he can't leave the house without a will!
Wait for us to find out the truth, and then punish the ......"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Deliver the decree, order Jinyiwei to command Jiang Xuan, and ask him to interrogate those thieves brought back by the prince for a good time, dare to frame the Prince of Daming, and commit the crime of bullying the king, and must be severely punished!"
"Yes!"
With the departure of the chamberlain and the Han general, all the civil and military officials in the entire hall couldn't help but be flustered and panicked.
Let Jiang Xuan's vicious dogs investigate, I don't know how many innocent people will be implicated this time.
……
The pilgrimage will disperse.
Inside the temple.
Zhu Biao told Lao Zhu in detail about what he had seen in Beiping Mansion for a few days.
And Lao Zhu also listened very seriously, and the more he listened, the more intense the smile on his face.
"Okay, Guo Taishi's descendants are really extraordinary, and they really studied such a divine thing as good rice!
This is the blessing of my Ming Dynasty and the blessing of the people......
Biao'er, the good rice you bring back must be planted by the best farmers.
When the harvest of those good rice is harvested next year, I can let the people of Daming also plant those good rice.
In this way, in a few years, the annual harvest of grain in my Ming people's homes can be hundreds of catties more! ”
"Yes, Daddy......"
"Dad, I also awarded those four people of the Guo family the title of Zhengbapindi Gonglang!"
"They deserve it!"
"I also awarded the doctor Guo Anzheng's five products!"
"After a while, let's go and make an order, Guo An's son has the style of Guo Taishi!"
Zhu Biao said seriously: "Dad, I think that Guo An's achievements in the future can completely surpass that Guo Taishi!" ”
"Huh?"
Lao Zhu was stunned for a moment, "Biao'er, you actually value Guo An so much?" ”
"Hmm!"
Zhu Biao nodded seriously, "I have never seen a person in such a state of mind, and he looks like he has no desire for anything on weekdays.
However, there is a world in your heart! ”
Lao Zhu said: "In this way, we will make an order in a while and transfer it to the Beijing Division!" ”
"Dad, never!"
Zhu Biao was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Dad, according to the child's observation, only the fourth child's temperament is suitable for Guo An."
In the Beijing Division, the civil and military officials poured each other out, and when Guo An came to the Beijing Division, he would inevitably be framed to death by those hundred officials.
Moreover, the fourth child also relied on Guo An, and asked Gao Chi to worship him as a teacher! ”
"In this case, then let him stay in Beiping!"
Lao Zhu didn't continue to insist, but continued: "Lan Yu actually framed the fourth child like this, do you know why? ”
Zhu Biao said slowly: "Dad, the child guessed, first, the Duke of Liangguo was greedy for money, and he was bewitched by those businessmen and gentry.
Another reason is that Liang Guogong is afraid of the fourth child, which will threaten the child! ”
Lao Zhu Youyou asked: "Then do you think the fourth child will have thoughts that he shouldn't have?" ”
Hearing this, Zhu Biao inexplicably remembered what he had seen and heard in Beiping Mansion, and his face suddenly became strange.
"Dad, the streets of Beiping City are clean and tidy, the farm cattle and sheep are herds, the eggs are piled up, and the cargo ships at Zhangjiawan Wharf are endless, and Beiping City is such a prosperous scene.
Erchen felt that the fourth child was really governing Beiping Mansion, and he would not have any thoughts that he shouldn't have. ”
"Moreover, the fourth child and the long history Guo An are not such people!"
"Oh?"
Lao Zhu's eyes flashed with curiosity, "How did you find out?" ”
"According to observation, the fourth child and Guo An are more like governing Beiping for enjoyment in Beiping...... Although these two people have great ambitions, they are similar and different from ordinary people.
Needless to mention the farm, Dad knows it clearly.
In the palace of the fourth child, it is also very luxurious, especially there is a palace, which is specially made into a large bathhouse......"
Zhu Biao said slowly, he knew that even if he didn't say everything about him in Beiping Mansion, there would be other people who would tell Lao Zhu clearly.
After listening to this, Lao Zhu was directly furious, "The fourth bastard, this bastard thing, is so extravagant and hedonistic."
It seems that he has made a fortune in Beiping Mansion, no wonder, so many businessmen want to look at the wharf of the fourth child, as well as the fleet of ships that trade with Goryeo! ”
Zhu Biao was stunned, "Dad, have you forgotten that the fourth brother and the Goryeo trading fleet still need to hand over 1.5 million taels of silver to you every year!" ”
Lao Zhu suddenly glared angrily, "Lan Yu, this idiot! Biao'er, what are you going to do with this dog thing ...... Lanyu?"
“……”
……
Pei Binh Province.
With two letters, plus two decrees were handed down.
In the entire Yanwang Palace, there was a joy.
Of course, it is Guo An who is happy.
As for Zhu Di, he was unwilling.
Guo An couldn't help but comfort: "Your Highness, Your Majesty was able to grounding the Duke of Liang for a year, killing more than ten of his stewards, and fining him 10,000 taels of silver, which has exceeded Weichen's expectations." ”
"Moreover, Your Majesty has allocated you another guard, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have made a lot of effort for this kind of compensation!"
As for those imperial historians and gentry and businessmen who conspired with Lan Yu, they were copying their families and destroying their families.
However, for these people, Guo An and Zhu Di didn't care too much.
Zhu Di let out a long breath and said, "Guo Qing, my father allocated a guard to us, but he didn't give us land or money.
How much money do we need to feed this wei? ”
"We always feel that this is because my father wants us to pay for him to raise those soldiers!"
Guo An smiled lightly, "Your Highness, but as long as they become the guards of our Yan Palace, they will be Your Highness's soldiers." ”
"Huh, so what? My father didn't give an order, let us lead the troops to conquer those Mongols! ”
Zhu Di looked displeased.
Guo An said: "Your Highness, don't worry, Lan Yu made such a big mistake, in the next two years, Your Majesty should not let him lead the troops."
And His Royal Highness still has the merit of destroying the country, as long as His Majesty wants to send troops to inspect the northern territory of my Ming Dynasty, His Royal Highness will be the main general! ”
Zhu Di's eyes lit up, "Is that really the case?" ”
Guo An looked confident, "It must be so!" ”
"Very good!"
Zhu Di was overjoyed, "Now that the autumn harvest has passed, we must train those soldiers well!" ”
Guo An nodded slightly, Zhu Di wanted to spoil those generals, so let him be.
But......
Thinking about it, Guo An said again: "Your Highness, Weichen wants to open another trading house." ”
Zhu Di said very boldly: "We're ready!" How much money Guo Qing needs, he can go to find Hezhong. ”
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Guo An thanked him a little helplessly, and then continued: "Your Highness, Weichen wants to open a grain trading house. ”
"Grain merchants?"
At this time, Zhu Di finally got up.
"Guo Qing wants to do grain trading?"
Guo An said: "Your Highness, Weichen feels that food is very important to the people.
Therefore, it is better to control it in the hands of my Yan Wangfu.
In this way, even in the event of a natural disaster, it will not allow those grain merchants to wantonly harm the people of our Beiping Mansion. ”
Zhu Di's expression suddenly straightened, he thought for a while, and asked, "How much money does it cost?"
Moreover, we don't know anything about business. But it is also known that grain merchants need to hoard large quantities of grain.
And in my Beiping Prefecture, and even in the surrounding provinces of Shanxi and Shandong, there is not much grain grown in the fields of the common people.
As for those gentry and big landowners, they will not sell their grain to the trading houses under my Yan Wang's mansion.
Could it be that Guo Qing was going to drive the grain merchant to the south...... In this way, it is better to cooperate with the Shen family! ”
Guo An smiled slowly, "Your Highness, if it had been in the past, the grain merchant house in my Yanwang Mansion would definitely be suppressed by those grain merchants and gentry, and it would not be able to open at all."
However, now I have good rice in Yanwangfu.
Even, there are still people from Goryeo farming in my Yanwangfu, and there will be no shortage of food in my Yanwangfu......
Even if those grain merchants and gentry unite and want to suppress the commercial houses of my Yanwang Mansion, my Yanwang Mansion Commercial Bank does not have to worry at all! ”
"Of course, Your Highness needs to know that Wechen doesn't plan to make money in the grain trading house......"
Hearing what Guo An said, Zhu Di suddenly became energetic.
"In this way, even if Guo Qing lets it go, all the money in the house can be used by Guo Qing!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
