"My father decreed that we and the King of Qin, the King of Jin and other vassal kings should unify the army and protect the border, and we don't have to enter Beijing to fulfill our filial piety!"

Zhu Di spoke slowly, and told Guo An roughly what happened during this period.

In Guo An's absence, Master Dao Yan was his most trusted adviser to Zhu Di.

However, as soon as Guo An came back, he became Zhu Di's most reassuring adviser.

It is true that Monk Daoyan has great wisdom, but it is a little weird, so that he can't see through it, and he often provokes him to rebel!

Zhu Di especially wanted to shout at Monk Daoyan, how many soldiers and horses did he Yan Wang control? Dare to covet that position?

Moreover, now, his father is still sitting in that seat dignifiedly, if his father knows that he Yan Wang has bad intentions, he will definitely not be as lucky as King Qin, just scolded and put him back in the domain!

Guo An nodded slightly, "In this way, His Royal Highness can inspect the guards of Beiping Mansion and rectify the military discipline, now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just died, the court is in turmoil, beware of the Northern Yuan thieves taking the opportunity to invade my Ming frontier!" ”

Zhu Di was stunned, looked at Guo An and said: "Although Guo Qing can rest assured, this king has been guarding Beiping for many years, and he will not let those Northern Yuan thieves take advantage of the loopholes."

Moreover, as early as the beginning of the year, the father changed the old thirteen to the acting king and let him guard the Datong Mansion! ”

Guo An said: "Since this is the case, then Your Highness will prepare for the autumn harvest." ”

"Autumn harvest?"

Zhu Di was stunned.

"Exactly!"

Guo An nodded slightly, "Your Highness, now that the wheat is already golden, and the rice is about to ripen, the melons and fruits in the orchard need to be carefully picked and sold, and those chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep on the farm are ......

Your Royal Highness, although you have a very good relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you can't forget to govern Beiping because of your grief.

Presumably, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will rebuke your ...... when he learns that you are indulging in grief and delaying these agricultural tasks."

Zhu Di slowly opened his mouth wide, his eyes full of surprise.

As for Zhu Fu, who rushed over, and a group of officials, they also widened their eyes and were shocked.

Immediately, after coming back to his senses, Zhu Fu and a group of officials hurriedly admonished Zhu Di.

"Weichen implores His Highness to put aside his grief and govern Beiping!"

"Wechen and others beg Your Highness to ......"

Zhu Di's expression froze, and he said solemnly: "Everyone, Aiqing, please come up, it is the fault of this king, this period of time, I have been indulging in grief, and I almost missed a big thing!" ”

"Your Highness is wise!"

Zhu Fu and other officials hurriedly flattered.

I don't know when it began, all the officials of the Yanwang Mansion seem to have followed the right chief Shi Guo'an and learned this kind of minister's words.

Subsequently, Guo An reported to Zhu Di alone for a while, and then left and returned home.

……

Guo Mansion.

Seeing Guo An, Liu Baiwei, Yuelan and others who came to the door, they were all surprised and delighted.

As for Guo Shen and Guo Han's two cubs, they are even more happy.

This time, their father went out and came back early.

In the house, there is a lot of joy and laughter.

Those who return from afar get the best reception.

In the evening, after some warmth, Liu Baiwei asked with a worried face.

"Master, why did you come back so early? But because of His Royal Highness the Prince? ”

"yes!"

Guo An sighed slightly, "We thought that we could hide all the time, but I didn't expect that His Royal Highness King Yan would not let me, the right long history, hide in the Wa Kingdom to enjoy leisure!" ”

Liu Baiwei exclaimed, "Master, you already knew?" So, before you left, you had to tell me that? ”

Guo An was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, "Sister, don't think nonsense, I'm just guessing at random." ”

Liu Baiwei didn't continue to ask, but said again with a worried face: "Master, since that person died, there has been a rumor in the entire Beiping Mansion that His Royal Highness King Yan is expected to become the crown prince......

There are even rumors that His Royal Highness King Yan is going to rebel......"

"His Royal Highness King Yan and Jinyi Wei have you gone to check?"

Guo An's expression tightened, and he hurriedly asked.

Liu Baiwei said slowly: "I don't know, but this kind of news has only been spread for half a month, and then it has disappeared!" ”

"Hmm!"

Guo An breathed a sigh of relief, "Sister, rest assured, His Royal Highness King Yan is a virtuous king and will not do anything rebellious!" ”

"That's good!"

Liu Baiwei was also relieved.

……

Guo An rested at home for two days, and then went to Yanwang Palace to order Mao and be on duty.

In the past two days, Zhu Di seemed to be a different person, and he no longer stayed in the mourning hall all day, but took a group of officials from Yanwang Mansion and Zhu Gaochi to personally inspect the farmland in various states and counties in Beiping Mansion.

Seeing this, the Jinyi guards and those officials in the entire Beiping Mansion breathed a sigh of relief.

And the people of Beiping Mansion are also relieved.

His Royal Highness King Yan is still the previous King of Yan, and he has no intention of rebellion!

And in the Long History Division.

Not long after Guo An sat down, Monk Daoyan walked in from outside the door.

"The monk has seen Guo Changshi!"

Guo An's face showed a look of surprise, "Master Dao Yan came to look for this official so early, but what's the matter?" ”

"Guo Changshi really doesn't know?"

Monk Daoyan looked at Guo An quietly and asked lightly.

"What do I know?"

Guo An's face was full of confusion.

Monk Daoyan said directly in a low voice: "Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is gone, Your Majesty is old, among the current vassal kings, although the King of Qin and the King of Jin are quite brave, they are brutal and absurd, and they are by no means the choice of the Ming monarch."

Only His Royal Highness King Yan is the most virtuous, quite a bit of imperial spirit, as long as His Royal Highness King Yan fights, the position of the crown prince can be His Royal Highness! ”

"Mage be careful!"

Guo An stood up directly in shock, walked out of the door quickly, looked around twice, and found that there was no figure, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, he stared at Monk Dao Yan with a cold gaze, "Does the mage want to taste the taste of raiding the family and exterminating the clan?" ”

Dao Yan was shocked, although Guo An was only a weak scholar, he also commanded tens of thousands of troops to conquer Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom, and he didn't know how many people he ordered to kill.

Under the anger, there is also a murderous aura.

"Guo Changshi, don't be angry, His Royal Highness is the person who is most like His Majesty among all the vassal kings.

In the past few days, the monk has also tested His Highness many times, although His Highness did not say it explicitly, but he also has expectations for that seat! ”

"Really?"

Guo An smiled lightly, stared at Dao Yan and asked, "Then why didn't Your Highness personally submit a letter to Your Majesty?" ”

Dao Yan looked at Guo An with a look of disbelief, "Guo Changshi, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's bones are not cold, how dare His Highness compete for that position at this time?" ”

Guo An said coldly: "Why does Master Dao Yan want to move around, wanting His Highness to give His Majesty the impression of a courtier, and even a person in the world who is unkind? ”

Dao Yan was taken aback, and hurriedly explained: "Guo Changshi misunderstood, the monk is loyal to His Royal Highness, how could he do such a thing?" ”

Guo An said: "Isn't the mage doing it?" ”

"This ......"

Dao Yan smiled bitterly, "Guo Changshi, Your Majesty is old, the crown prince has died, in order to stabilize the court, Your Majesty will inevitably set up a new prince as soon as possible."

If you don't take advantage of this time and wait for Your Majesty to appoint the crown prince, then Your Highness will never have a chance! ”

Guo An sneered directly: "Master Dao Yan doesn't think that His Royal Highness is not the best candidate for the crown prince in His Majesty's mind?" ”

Dao Yan hurriedly said: "In Your Majesty's mind, His Royal Highness must be the best person for the crown prince!" ”

"Then why is Master Dao Yan so anxious?"

Guo An stared at Dao Yan tightly, "In this way, didn't the mage let His Highness leave a bad impression on His Majesty and the court, and deliberately let His Highness miss that seat?" ”

Monk Daoyan opened his mouth and found that he had fallen into Guo An's trap, no matter what he said, it would be his or not, and he couldn't help but smile helplessly.

"Guo Changshi has good teeth!"

"It's the mage who got lost in that one!"

Guo An said lightly.

However, Monk Daoyan finally waited for this opportunity, and he would not let it go easily.

"Guo Changshi is a far-sighted talent, and he should know that my Ming vassal king is powerful, and no matter who sits on that seat later, he will not accommodate the existence of your vassal kings.

If His Royal Highness King Yan loses a great opportunity this time, then the future new monarch will succeed to the throne, and it will be the time when everyone in my Yan Wangfu moves to Goryeo or the Wa Kingdom! ”

Guo An was unmoved, "That's why this official has been doing his best to govern Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom!" ”

Dao Yan stared at Guo An tightly and asked, "Then why does Guo Changshi keep transporting the property of Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom to Beiping Mansion and use it to govern Beiping Mansion, instead of governing Goryeo and Wa Kingdom?"

Although the monk didn't know what Guo Changshi's plan was, he also knew that only this time was the most justifiable one for His Highness! ”

"Really?"

Guo An sneered, "Master, do you know that when Your Majesty ascended the throne, he established a succession system.

Only in this way will the future generations of the Ming Dynasty not appear, and the blood of the vassal kings fighting for that seat will flow like a river! ”

"Master, just because His Royal Highness King Yan is most like His Majesty, His Majesty will establish His Royal Highness King Yan?

The crown prince is not a playmaker, even if His Majesty wants His Royal Highness King Liyan, do you think the ministers will agree? ”

"Also, the bones of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are still lying in Jingshi?

Master, Your Majesty loves His Royal Highness the Crown Prince the most, do you think Your Majesty will be such a kind person? ……”

"But ......"

Dao Yan wanted to speak and stopped.

Guo An said: "Master, in the opinion of this official, His Royal Highness King Yan only has a twenty percent chance. And what kind of opportunity is the two percent, presumably the mage can also think of it?

But how can this work out? ”

"Moreover, the mage should also know that the Yan Wangfu is still a thin ant to the court.

No matter how the mage travels, the final thing depends on His Majesty and the court!

In order to make a good impression on His Highness and the court, if the Master is okay these days, he should go back to the academy!

In the coming year, it will be the time to take the exam again, so don't delay the future of my students in Beiping Mansion! ”

"Amitabha!"

Dao Yan looked helpless.

Originally, he asked Zhu Di to recall Guo An back to Beiping, just because he thought that Guo An was the same person as him.

With Guo An, his plan can succeed in two.

And now, after all, he has lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot!

Regarding Guo An's private conversation with Daoyan, although Zhu Di did not know the specific content, he was also aware of it.

After seeing Dao Yan go back to the academy, he was also relieved.

That seat, he Zhu Di also likes it, and even has some expectations, but when his eldest brother's bones are not cold, he Zhu Di can't do it to compete for that seat!

He also believes that with his Zhu Di's merits and wisdom, whether it is the second, third, or fifth, they can't compare to him.

His father, the Emperor, could only make him crown prince.

And if his father didn't set him up, but set up Zhu Yunwen's kid, even if he, Zhu Di, bought all the ministers in the court, he wouldn't be able to change his father's mind.

In this way, it is better to follow Guo An's advice and govern Beiping Mansion with peace of mind.
