A group of northern gentry on Sanshan Street are in the courtyard.

Wang Zhongkuan, Cui Wei, Wen En and others got up early in the morning.

Several people gathered in Wang Zhongkuan's courtyard and began to wait anxiously.

Seeing that it was almost noon, there was still no movement, and the faces of several people were already full of panic.

Wen En got up directly, circled around the main hall, and went out to lie at the door from time to time, looking out.

I didn't see anyone coming, and my face was full of anxiety.

"Everyone, it's time to get here, no one has come to the palace of Shunde County, and His Majesty hasn't sent anyone to come, but His Majesty is not ready to accept our surrender and petition, or the King of Shunde County has not yet entered the palace!"

On the chair, Wang Zhongkuan smiled bitterly, a little helpless.

"Brother Wen, don't go around, I'm dizzy when I'm wandering.

It is related to so many gentry families in the north such as us, and even tens of thousands of scholars and officials in the Ming Dynasty, even if it is placed in the court, it is also a big deal!

Your Majesty must consider it carefully...... In addition, you should have heard that the king of Shunde always gets up late! ”

"Alas, this matter is related to the lives of thousands of people in my family, how can I not be in a hurry!"

Winn sighed heavily, but sat down as he was told.

"It's come to this, it's useless for me to wait in a hurry!"

As he spoke, Wang Zhongkuan smiled confidently.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in fact, don't worry too much, no matter what, now, the entire Ming Dynasty still needs the help of our gentry families to manage.

Moreover, among these families, have we committed any heinous crimes that require the destruction of the family and the whole family? ”

"Not really!"

Cui Wei and Wen En shook their heads slowly.

"That's it!"

Wang Zhongkuan smiled faintly, "In this way, we will report and confess some corrupt officials at most, and then donate our family property, and we will still be intact."

As for the scum in the family, they don't enjoy the life of a gentleman, they don't study hard, they only care about killing the people and ruining the reputation of each family!

It is also a great thing to take this opportunity to remove these moths from the family! ”

Cui Wei, Wen En and the others suddenly lit up.

"What Brother Wang said is very true!"

"As for reporting and confessing to those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, the entire Ming scholars have lost their credibility.

Even if we don't report and confess, there will be other people who will report and confess......"

In the main hall, a group of people were talking energetically.

Suddenly, the steward of the Wang family's courtyard ran in from outside with a panicked face.

"Third master, something is wrong!"

"What?"

“…… Third master, a team of brocade guards came from outside, surrounding our house! ”

Hearing this, Wang Zhongkuan, Cui Wei and others suddenly looked overjoyed.

"It's finally here!"

Seeing this, the steward was stunned and confused.

The entire Ming Dynasty regards these brocade guards as plague gods and avoids them, how can their own masters, and these masters, seem to be welcoming distinguished guests?

"What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you go and open the courtyard door and welcome those brocade guards in?"

"Yes, these brocade guards are our saviors!"

Hearing this, the steward woke up a little, he heard it right, his master didn't lose his mind, they really wanted to welcome these brocade guards.

"Yes, Third Master!"

With that, the steward prepared to go out.

However, at this meeting, Wang Zhongkuan, Cui Wei, Wen En and other gentry who had been waiting for a morning couldn't wait for the slow pace of stewardship.

Thus.

Several people directly strode out under the staring look of the steward, and hurriedly ran out.

"This ...... Third Master ......"

After being surprised for a while, the steward hurriedly chased after him.

And this will.

The gate of the royal courtyard has long been opened.

A group of people wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives at their waists, already surrounded by a general who was also wearing a flying fish suit, walked in.

See here.

A trace of disappointment flashed in the eyes of Wang Zhongkuan, Cui Wei, Wen En and others, it was just a Jinyi Guard official, who came with some Jinyi Guards, it seems that His Majesty does not pay attention to them so much!

However, despite this thought in their hearts, they still walked a few quick steps with smiles on their faces.

"The villain Wang Zhongkuan has seen this general!"

"Villain Cui Wei ......"

"Villain Winn ......"

Everyone, put their posture very low.

This made the leader Wang Zhen stunned for a moment, and then he was even more satisfied.

These northern gentry are discerning, and they are not as stupid and arrogant as those gentry in the south.

After a salute and self-introduction, Wang Zhongkuan said again.

"This general, please, I'll serve hot tea to the general and the generals and colonels!"

"Yes!"

Wang Zhen nodded slightly, and walked in first with a kind face.

When the hot tea was served, Wang Zhen asked lightly: "I heard that you, the gentry from Shanxi, Shandong, and Henan, want to surrender to Your Majesty and ask for your guilt, and then use your family property and confession to confess to others to atone for your crimes?" ”

"Exactly!"

Wang Zhongkuan hurriedly responded.

"There are many clansmen in my family, and although we have tried our best to discipline them, there are still some spoiled and stubborn clansmen who do not concentrate on enjoying the life of a gentleman, nor do they study seriously, and strive for fame.

On the contrary, they are lustful, oppress and exploit others, ruin the reputation of our family, and commit great crimes! ”

"Hmm!"

Wang Zhen continued to nod, a little distracted, and let these gentry compile it.

Once their story is finished, he can start asking questions officially!

"This general, what we say is true!"

However, Wang Zhongkuan seemed to see what Wang Zhen meant, and hurriedly explained.

"It's all true?"

Wang Zhen smiled coldly and said lightly: "This official has a brocade guard, how many corrupt officials and evil gentry were investigated and dealt with last year!"

Which one doesn't say what you say? ”

“……”

Wang Zhongkuan, Cui Wei and others had stiff faces.

However, Wen En on the side heard something different.

He arched his hand towards Wang Zhen and asked with some surprise: "I don't know which one of the Jinyi guards this general is?" ”

Wang Zhen said: "This official Jinyi Wei commands Wang Zhen!" ”

"It turned out to be Wang Tongzhi who came to the door in person!"

"I waited for the eyes to be blind, but I didn't recognize Wang Tongzhi!"

"Wang Tongzhi ......"

Wen En, Wang Zhongkuan and the others were all shocked, and then their faces were full of surprise.

In this way, His Majesty still attaches great importance to them.

"Shut up!"

Wang Zhen's expression was solemn, and he said coldly: "The purpose of His Majesty's sending this official here is also known.

Write down your crimes as soon as possible, and then write down the crimes of everyone in your family.

Finally, confess all the property of the family such as Zhuer...... Whistle and confess to corrupt officials and evil gentry that you and others know, and some businessmen who have committed serious crimes can also report and confess! ”

"This time, what kind of results you can wait for, and what kind of preferential treatment your family can get, depends on how much credit you can get!

Afterwards, the official will also send his brothers to investigate one by one in person!

If there's anything wrong, don't complain about the ruthlessness of the official......"

"Yes, yes, please rest assured that Wang Tongzhi will be honest and will not miss any crimes!"

Wang Zhongkuan hurriedly said.

"Hmm!"

Wang Zhen nodded slightly, and didn't continue to say anything.

What he should have explained has been explained clearly, and as for copying more or less, the impact on him will not be too great.

Wang Zhongkuan instructed the steward: "Hurry up and give each of us, bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and then bring each of us a table and chair!" ”

"Yes, Third Master!"

The steward was already full of panic, and he was a little at a loss, and walked out in a daze.

His third master actually wants to confess his guilt with these masters of other families, and also confess all the money of the family, and report and confess to other corrupt officials and corrupt officials!

This...... The sky is falling!

And now, in the entire courtyard, there are brocade guards everywhere!

"Chen San, Wang Qiliu, a few of you, hurry up and prepare seven pens, ink, paper, inkstones, and seven tables and chairs!"

"Yes, steward!"

"Yes......"

On the other side.

Guo An also left the palace and returned to Guo's mansion.

After eating and lying down for a while, Guo An became upset.

"Come on, let Xu Yong prepare the car!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Outside the house, a subordinate hurriedly answered and walked briskly.

Soon.

Xu Yong walked in.

"Your Highness, the car is ready, where are we going?"

"General Mountain!"

Guo An got up and walked out.

"General Mountain?"

Xu Yong was slightly stunned.

"Hmm!"

Guo An said as he walked: "I'm going to go to Jiangjun Mountain to have a look!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Xu Yong didn't continue to ask.

Guo An got into the carriage, and dozens of guards surrounded the carriage, all the way to the direction of Jiangjun Mountain.

At this time, as the weather warms up.

The side of the road also began to turn green.

The number of pedestrians on the road outside the city gradually increased.

On the acres of Jiangjun Mountain, there are also scattered groups of people, who are working hard to cultivate the land or planting seedlings.

"The world is peaceful, the people are diligent, and the Ming Dynasty is safe and healthy, this is the beauty of the world......"

Looking at the scene outside, Guo An felt that his mood gradually became more relaxed.

And Xu Yong, who has been following Guo An's side closely, has a strange expression.

How does he feel, his Royal Highness is a little lonely!

"Stop!"

Guo An suddenly shouted.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The carriage then stopped.

Guo An jumped out of the carriage, followed the road by himself, and walked forward.

As you walk, you watch.

Behind him, Xu Yong and other guards hurriedly followed.

Walking, walking, Guo An came to the village of the experimental field.

"See His Royal Highness!"

Outside the village, there are still two teams of guards.

"Hmm!"

Guo An nodded slightly and walked in by himself.

These guards, their mouths opened, but they still let Guo An in, and did not stop them.

"Your Highness?"

"See Your Highness!"

"I've seen Your Highness!"

In the village, everyone was full of surprise after seeing Guo An.

Immediately, they all hurried to salute.

Guo An also responded one by one.

In less than a while, Guo Bingyong, Guo Zhi, Guo Changchen, Guo Shanyuan, and Bang Zhao also hurriedly came over.

"See His Royal Highness!"

"See His Royal Highness!"

“……”

"Brothers, don't see each other like this! …… The tyrant is here, are you still used to it? ”

"Habit, habit!"

Tyrant Zhao chuckled, the whole person was a lot darker, his skin was a lot rougher, and he looked like an old man in a village!

However, the whole person is a lot more energetic!

With the successful cultivation of corn and sweet potatoes, Bangzhao's attitude towards Guo An has directly changed dramatically.

Guo Bingyong asked with some confusion: "Why did Your Highness suddenly come here?" ”

Tyrant Zhao and Guo Zhi and others also looked at Guo An with curiosity on their faces.

Guo An said: "I am very restless in the house, come out of the fields and take a look!" ”

"If you stay at home all the time, you will feel something bad!"

Guo Bingyong nodded in agreement.

On the side, Guo Zhi, Guo Changchen, and Guo Shanyuan also followed.

"Your Highness, watching the vegetables and grains on these acres in the experimental field, growing little by little, and then harvesting, it will really make people's hearts full and happy!"

"Your Highness will be fine in the future, so I will come to the test field more often!"

"Exactly!"

"If the prince has completed his studies, he can also let the prince come to the experimental field more often!"

"If the prince has any doubts about his studies, the tyrant is still experimenting with the field, and he can also ask the prince for advice!"

“……”

Hearing this, Guo An couldn't help but be stunned, and subconsciously looked at the violent Zhao on the side, "Tyrant? ”

Tyrant Zhao was also stunned.

Immediately, I subconsciously remembered the rumors about the bookworm in the palace of Shunde County.

"Although the old man is not an official in the court, he thinks that he has read the classics and history all his life, and he still has some understanding of the classics and history!"

"Thank you, tyrant!"

Guo An was overjoyed.

Who is Tyrant?

The political secretary of Beiping participates in politics, the left capital of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the book of the criminal department, and the book of the Ministry of officials!

A generation of Confucianism, coupled with the experience and wisdom honed in the officialdom for so many years, if Guo Shen's kid can worship the old man Zhao as a teacher, it will be really lucky!

plus the connections left by the old man......

The more he thought about it, the more excited Guo An became.

No wonder, the more he sleeps in the house today, the more irritable he becomes!

It turned out to be his nerd's luck!

It's a pity that I didn't pull that kid out of the study this time and bring him to the test field!

Guo An asked Guo Bingyong on the side: "Fourth brother, I don't know how the sweet potatoes and corn in the experimental field are planted?" ”

Guo Bingyong said: "Back to Your Highness, the corn has been planted for so many days, and it has not yet germinated.

As for the seedlings of sweet potatoes, they have only just sprouted!

If you want to transplant, it will take another month! ”

"In that case, then I don't have to stay longer!"

Guo An nodded slightly, "I'll go back and prepare for the kid at home!" ”

"Bundled?"

Guo Bingyong and others couldn't help but be stunned.

And Guo An had already turned around and left, his steps were fast.

Half a day.

Guo Bingyong and Guo Zhi suddenly reacted and looked directly at the violent Zhao on the side.

Zhao: "......"

"Didn't the king of Shunde want that prince to worship me as a teacher?"

"Congratulations to the tyrant for winning the good job!"

"Congratulations to the tyrant ......"

Guo Bingyong and Guo Zhi directly congratulated each other.

Storm Zhao opened his mouth, with a strange expression, he still didn't have an apprentice.

Moreover, he didn't seem to say just now that he wanted to accept the prince of Shunde County as a disciple?

How could this be, as if they were sure that the son of the world had become his disciple?
