Guo Changshi also said that he would personally explain the matter to you. It's just that for some reason today, after Guo Changshi left the palace gate, he ran towards home in a daze, as if he had completely forgotten about it! ”

"I see!"

After Zhu Di frowned and thought for a moment, he nodded slightly and said, "We will ask Guo Qing about this matter, and we will continue to hide it from the outside world!" ”

"The last general obeys!"

……

It's just that what Zhu Di didn't expect was that it took less than two days.

Regarding Guo An, the matter of the Wa Kingdom reported to Zhu Di in the main hall that day suddenly spread in Beiping Mansion.

The more it spreads, the more powerful it becomes.

At the same time, it was also passed to the Jingshi.

All the gentry and officials were talking about it.

But obviously, while grieving and indignant, many officials and gentry also have a sense of schadenfreude.

However, the military households where Yan Shanwei was located were full of surprise, and the people in the entire Beiping Mansion were saying that Yan Shanwei, who was under His Royal Highness King Yan, had suffered heavy losses in the Wa Kingdom.

However, they questioned each other about many military households, and it seemed that they, the men of the military households, had been writing to them and asking for money.

Didn't hear any news of a man killed in battle?

Then why, there have been rumors outside that Yan Shanwei was in the Wa Kingdom and killed many people?

Fortunately, these military households are not stupid?

Naturally, you can see how gloating those people who have been talking about it outside are, and they also know that their family has been red-eyed in the past few years, so they are silent!

"If you enter the fuck, you can't see our Yanwang Mansion? also said that Yan Shanwei suffered heavy casualties, how did we not know that Yan Shanwei had suffered heavy casualties? ”

Hearing the news, Zhu Di was furious.

The princess sighed slightly, "Your Highness, since this is the case, then let's act according to that Guo Changshi's plan."

Over the years, our Yan Wangfu has indeed been a little dazzling.

King Qin, King Jin and others sent people to come every year, wanting to share some wealth.

It's a pity ......"

"King Qin?"

Zhu Di was even more furious, "When the second brother was in Beijing, he was fine. Since he was in Xi'an, he has begun to change greatly, brutal and unkind, and now millions of people in Shaanxi have complained, and the court has impeached him.

This time, his father will definitely punish him severely. ”

This time, the princess did not speak again.

After Zhu Di complained again, he left.

……

"Chi'er, do you want to come with us to meet your teacher?"

"The child wants to go with his father!"

……

Guo Mansion.

Since the day Guo An came back, Guo Mansion has never been quiet.

"Dad, look at the child's trick, Guan Gong dragged the knife and cut ...... Drive! ”

"Boom, boom......"

A boy in a cotton suit, with a red face, rode on a foal and dragged a wooden knife in his hand, and ran towards the scarecrow in the distance.

It's just that, running, running, even people and horses, directly crashed into the straw man.

On the side, Guo An was holding a girl in his arms.

Seeing this, the two laughed directly.

"Hahaha, Guo Shen, you are a fool, you can't even wield a wooden knife!"

However, Guo Shen was also honest, and after standing up from the foal, he patted the dust on his body casually, looking unwilling.

"Dad, eldest sister, don't complain about this matter, it's that this foal is too small, and it can't move me!"

"Give you a big horse, you can't ride it!"

Guo Han looked disdainful.

Guo Shen was unconvinced, "The eldest sister can't ride either." ”

"I'm a woman, I don't have to ride a horse!"

"I'm a reader, and I don't need to ......"

As he spoke, Guo Shen was stunned.

"Stupid, a scholar should also be able to ride a horse!"

"Dad, do women have to learn to ride horses?"

Guo Shen hurriedly looked at Guo An, his little eyes full of anticipation.

"It's nature!"

Guo An nodded slightly, "You all have to learn to ride a horse, but these are things when you grow up."

Now, you are all tasked with giving us good reading and literacy. ”

As soon as these words came out, Guo Shen's little face directly became bitter, "Dad, can you not study?" ”

"Can't!"

Guo An's face was solemn, "You kid go out to inquire, whose kid isn't he reading and reading all day?"

Let's let you kid play for half a day, are you still not satisfied? ”

"But Daddy, those words are too hard to read, ...... child"

Before Guo Shen finished speaking, a voice came from one side.

"Shen'er, Han'er, why don't you hurry up and follow the master's endorsement?"

Guo Han and Guo Shen suddenly shuddered, and their faces were full of reluctance.

"Daddy~"

Guo An got up quickly, didn't look at the two of them, and walked directly outside.

"We still have official business to do, let's go first!"

Guo Shen and Guo Han cried and walked to the backyard.

"Huh?"

Guo An, who had just stepped out of the hospital door, saw two figures, one large and one small, standing in front of a window, looking at him in a daze.

Guo An was taken aback, "Wechen has seen His Royal Highness King Yan, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World!" Your Highness, when did you come? ”

Zhu Gaochi saluted Guo An, "Chi'er has seen the teacher!" ”

Guo An nodded slightly, and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince has not been to the Guo Mansion for a long time, His Royal Highness the Prince can go around and familiarize himself with the Guo Mansion!"

Zhu Di said directly: "Go wherever you want!" ”

"Thank you, Dad!"

Zhu Gaochi ran out with a happy face.

Guo An directly looked at Erniu on the side with a furious face, "Your Highness is here, why don't you tell us and let us go out to greet you?" ”

Erniu's face was full of grievances, "Master, it is His Royal Highness who does not let the villain ......"

Zhu Di said directly: "We won't let Erniu tell you." ”

Saying that, Zhu Di looked weird, "I didn't expect Guo Qing to be so afraid of guilt?" ”

Guo An smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness misunderstood, Weichen only came back for a few days a year because he was away all the year round.

Inside and outside the house, I have to bother my wife, I feel guilty, and I don't want my wife to be angry. ”

"Alas!"

Hearing this, Zhu Di sighed slightly, "Guo Qing is a civil official, but we often let Guo Qing take troops to recruit those vassal countries outside, and we have wronged Guo Qing!" ”

Guo An said directly: "Your Highness misunderstood, Weichen is willing to attack the Wa Kingdom, and he likes to attack the Wa Kingdom!" ”

Zhu Di was speechless.

Guo An arched towards Zhu Di, "Your Highness, please!" ”

Then, he glared at Erniu on the side, "Why don't you hurry up and serve tea, snacks, and snacks to His Highness?" ”

"Yes, sir!"

Guo Erniu hurriedly ran to the side.

Guo An took Zhu Di to the main hall.

And with a wave of his hand, all the handmaidens withdrew.

As for Guo Erniu, he was very consciously standing outside to prevent anyone from approaching.

Inside the main hall.

Zhu Di's face sank, "Guo Qing is really deceiving us, it's so hard!" ”

"Huh?"

Guo An was taken aback, "Wechen is terrified, Wechen really doesn't know when Wechen deceived His Highness!" ”

Zhu Di said: "My Yanshanwei is in the Wa Kingdom, is it really as difficult as Guo Qing said? Still heavy casualties? ”

"Heavy casualties? Who is this rumor? ”

Guo An was stunned for a moment, then remembered something, and hurriedly explained: "Please forgive Your Highness, Weichen just thinks that my Yanwang Mansion has developed a little fast over the years."

There is a Goryeo, which should have made some people in the court restless.

Now, if the attack on the Japanese Kingdom goes smoothly again, I am afraid that when the time comes, even His Majesty will not be able to suppress it. ”

However, Wei Chen planned to explain it to His Highness afterwards. It's just that I didn't expect that after coming out of the palace that day, Wechen was in a hurry to go home, and he forgot about it, it was Wechen's fault, and asked His Royal Highness to punish him. ”

Zhu Di waved his hand casually, not caring about this, but said with a solemn expression: "What Guo Qing said just now, why are you worried that your father can't suppress it?" ”

"This ......"

Guo An was stunned again, and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, you are a prince, and you are still a vassal king with military power."

Owning a Goryeo has already made the power of the Yan Wangfu soar.

If you have the Wa Kingdom again, then the Yan Wangfu ......"

Zhu Di was furious, "Hmph, what are you afraid of, even if we have ten more Goryeo and Wa Kingdoms, it is impossible for our Yan Wangfu to have a rebellious army."

Not to mention, we have never had the heart to rebel! ”

Guo An's face was shocked, and he hurriedly dissuaded: "Your Highness speak carefully! ”

"Guo Qing, what are you worried about?"

Zhu Di stared at Guo An tightly and asked in a deep voice.

Guo An smiled and said, "Your Highness, Weichen is just worried, now that His Majesty and the crown prince are on the throne, they can accommodate His Highness."

Because, they know that His Highness will not rebel no matter what. ”

Zhu Di nodded slightly.

Guo An said leisurely: "Your Highness, if it is...... Twenty years from now, or forty years from now? ”

Zhu Di was stunned.

Immediately, his expression became solemn.

"At that time, our Yan Wangfu will inevitably turn the entire Goryeo and Wa Kingdom into the Yan Kingdom. And at that time, the father and brother are already old, and the newly succeeded Ming prince and courtiers will regard us as the biggest threat! ”

"Your Highness is wise!"

Guo An nodded slightly.

Zhu Di asked, "Guo Qing, what should we do?" ”

Guo An sighed helplessly and said: "Now, my Yan Wangfu has captured Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom, and I have to hand over one million silver taels to Your Majesty every year.

A few years ago, my Yan Wangfu could earn so many silver taels.

However, in the future, with the mining of silver mines in Goryeo and Waguo, the money made by my Yanwangfu will inevitably decline year by year.

Therefore, I also ask Your Highness to ask Your Majesty for a decree.

The Yan Wangfu is willing to expand the territory for the Ming Dynasty, and every time he conquers a country, he will hand over one million taels of silver to His Majesty in the first five years.

Five years later, the potential of those vassal states was exhausted, and His Majesty was asked for permission to no longer hand over silver taels.

And those vassal kingdoms will be where His Royal Highness Yan Kingdom is located, and future kings will not be able to take them away.

All government affairs at home and abroad are ruled by His Royal Highness King Yan.

In addition, all the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, if there are any people who want to conquer overseas vassal states, please also ask Your Majesty to support them.

After all, whoever conquers a vassal kingdom can hand over an extra one million taels of silver to His Majesty every year.

In this way, it can also avoid some Ming princes who like to fight, trapped in their respective fiefdoms, with nowhere to display their talents, thus giving birth to some chaos. ”

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "Father should agree to this matter!" ”

Guo An nodded and said, "It's just that as soon as this matter comes out, the edict of the sea ban set by His Majesty needs to be changed." However, His Majesty is far-sighted, and he should also be able to see the benefits of this matter to Da Ming! ”

Zhu Di said: "Guo Qing rest assured, if we can't write alone, King Qin, King Jin, and King Wu will also play." ”

"Your Highness......"

Guo An opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

However, after a moment's hesitation, he closed his mouth again.

"Guo Qing has nothing to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" Zhu Di asked.

Guo An smiled and said, "Your Highness, Weichen thinks that my Yanwang Mansion should be paved with a cement avenue from Beiping City to Dagukou!" ”

"Build a cement avenue to Dagukou?"

Zhu Di's eyes widened suddenly.

"Guo Qing, there is a distance of 500 miles from Beiping City to Dagukou. How much cement is needed to build such a cement avenue? How much does it cost? ”

Guo An said: "Your Highness, the silver transported back from the Wa Kingdom this year should be enough, right?" ”

Zhu Di: "......"
