When Guo An went down, Liu Baiwei sent someone to find Guo Han.

"Mother, what are you looking for your daughter?"

"In a few days, Wei Niang will take Shen'er into the palace to meet the queen mother, and when she arrives, the princess Xianning may be in the queen mother's palace.

On that day, you will enter the palace with me, and you will definitely find an opportunity to talk more with that princess of Xianning and establish a good relationship! ”

Guo Han was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously opened his eyes wide, "In this way, the second brother is already going to see his mother-in-law?" ”

Liu Baiwei's eyes flashed with joy, but she still stiffened her mouth and reprimanded: "What mother-in-law, the marriage has not yet been decided, don't talk nonsense!" ”

"Yes, mother!"

Guo Han pursed his lips and responded very obediently.

"My daughter will definitely have a good relationship with that princess of Xianning, and she won't let the second brother's daughter-in-law lose it!"

"Hmm!"

Liu Baiwei nodded with satisfaction and continued: "In addition, although your father is relatively loose in controlling your marriage, you can choose your marriage freely.

However, if the husband you choose is not too good, and your father and I do not approve of it, then you will still not be able to help it.

When Shen'er entered the palace to meet the queen's mother, there must be not only Princess Xianning, but also other princesses or princesses.

You have to have more good relations with them, and they must know a lot of powerful children.

Let them all introduce you to some ......"

"Mother~"

Guo Han's face blushed directly, "My daughter has her own opinions on this matter." ”

"Why are you shy about marriage?"

Liu Baiwei looked displeased, "Mother, it was your temperament that gradually became a big girl."

Fortunately, I met your father, otherwise your mother wouldn't know what life she was living now? ”

"That daughter also learns from her mother......"

"Nonsense!"

Liu Baiwei glared at Guo Han angrily, "Do you think there can be a few good people like your father in the world?"

As the eldest daughter of the prince of Shunde County, you are still the county lord, and your status is noble, and you will inevitably be stared at by many powerful people.

If you don't look for it well, as long as your father nods, the powerful people of the entire Ming Dynasty will definitely take their sons-in-law to break through the door of our house! ”

“……”

Guo Han was shocked in his heart, and said with a stubborn face, "Mother, don't worry, my daughter will definitely not mistake herself!" ”

"If only you had a good idea!"

Liu Baiwei didn't continue to say more, her son had the right idea since he was a child, and although her daughter was not very eye-catching, she had a correct idea.

……

And on the other side.

Palace.

After Guo An left, Zhu Di frowned and thought for a moment, then called Yishiha, asked him to draft an edict, and sent someone to send it to the Yanwang Mansion in Beiping.

At the same time, Zhu Di also made a special explanation.

After hearing this, the eunuch's face was solemn, and he didn't dare to delay for a moment, so he directly led a team of men and horses and ran to the north.

……

Two days later.

Guo An, the king of Shunde County, took the princess Liu Baiwei and his children Guo Shen and Guo Han into the palace to meet His Majesty and the queen.

With Guo An's family entering the palace, Zhu Di also brought the crown prince, grandson, Princess Xianning, and a group of princesses in Beijing to gather in the harem and look at Guo Shen carefully with the queen.

Fortunately, they all grew up watching each other.

Guo Shen and Guo Han and the others were not too nervous.

And Zhu Di and Queen Xu also asked Guo Shen about his studies with gentle faces, and by the way, they asked Guo Han if he had a favorite Langjun, but Guo Han's face was full of shame.

After that, it's time to set up a feast.

It wasn't until the evening that Guo An's family came out of the palace.

On the carriage, Liu Baiwei looked excited.

"Your Highness, the concubine looks at that Princess Xianning, and she seems to be very satisfied with Shen'er!"

"Hmm!"

Guo An nodded slightly, and then said with disgust on his face: "Shen'er, this kid, almost put his eyes on that princess of Xianning!" ”

On the side, Guo Shen, who had always been calm from the sky, was flushed.

"It's not promising!"

Guo An couldn't help but glare.

Guo Shen disagreed, "Dad, my fair lady, the gentleman is good......"

"Cut!"

Guo An waved his hand disdainfully, "You don't need to explain to me, as long as your kid can manage the family after marrying a wife!" ”

Guo Shen said with a straight face: "Dad is in the prime of life, and the child will not have to worry about these for the next thirty or forty years!" ”

Guo An: "......"

Gotcha, the good ones don't learn, and the bad ones don't learn!

……

Guo An's family is happy.

But the entire Jingshi is boiling again.

His Majesty actually wants to marry Princess Xianning to Guo Shen, the prince of Shunde County!

"I didn't expect Your Majesty to favor the king of Shunde so much?"

"They have all been crowned kings with different surnames, and they still want to marry the princess, or the princess!"

"In this way, the Shunde County Mansion is even more powerful!"

"Powerful?"

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

"According to the temperament of the king of Shunde County and the prince, I'm afraid that even if another princess is sent to the palace of Shunde County, there will not be much power in the palace of Shunde County, right?"

"Uh...... Hahaha......"

"Having said that, the wealth in the palace of Shunde County can last for at least another hundred years!"

"In this case, we will wait for a change of strategy!"

"Befriend the king of Shunde?"

"Heroes see the same thing!"

"I heard that the second son of the county king has not yet decided on the wife!"

"The eldest daughter of the county king has not yet been married?"

"Very good ......"

……

Beiping, Yanwangfu.

Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Yan, sat on the main hall with a gloomy face.

"Are you sure that those brocade guards have the intention of investigating my Yanwang Mansion?"

Below, a lieutenant reported with a solemn face.

"Your Highness, this is indeed the case.

By the time the general received the news, five of the more than ten gentry in Jiangxi and Fujian had already been arrested! ”

Zhu Gaoxu's eyes shrank, "Then the brocade guards didn't catch the southern gentry?" ”

The lieutenant shook his head and replied, "No! ”

Zhu Gaoxu said angrily, "What crime did the more than ten gentry in Jiangxi and Fujian commit?" Those brocade guards dare to arrest people indiscriminately? Wang Zhen, what does he want to do? ”

The lieutenant replied: "Your Highness forgives the crime, and Weichen found out that the crime of Jinyiwei's arrest seems to be that these gentry colluded with local businessmen, bullied and harmed the people, and sold illicit salt!" ”

"Bullying and harming the people, and selling illicit salt?"

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, and then asked directly: "Do you know, have these people done such a thing?" ”

The lieutenant said: "Your Highness is angry, the villain has already asked these gentry, and these gentry have indeed done this!" ”

"These bastards!"

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but be furious.

Then, he continued to ask: "Did Jinyi Wei send someone to Beiping?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, no!"

"That's it!"

Zhu Gaoxu breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, "Tell those gentry not to have too much contact with the people in the mansion for a while!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The lieutenant hurriedly replied.

Then, after hesitating for a long time, the captain whispered again: "Your Highness, those southern gentry also reported that after those gentry were captured by the Jinyi Guard, in less than a day, the Jinyi Guard sent a team of people to the Beijing Division!" ”

"What?"

Zhu Gaoxu was suddenly startled, stared at the captain tightly and asked, "Do you know, has that team of brocade guards returned?" ”

"It's back!"

The captain nodded again, "Your Highness, that team of brocade guards came back three days ago!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly asked, "What is the movement of Jinyiwei?" ”

The captain shook his head slowly, "Back to Your Highness, it seems that the Jinyi Guard has not done anything except to investigate those gentry!" ”

"That's it!"

Zhu Gaoxu sat down slowly.

The lieutenant did not dare to say anything.

After a while, Zhu Gaoxu raised his head violently and asked in a deep voice, "Have those families gone back now?" ”

The captain replied: "Back to Your Highness, the Jinyi Guard has detained all of them!" ”

"Buckled?"

Zhu Gaoxu's voice suddenly raised, "Can you inquire, what are those brocade guards doing?" ”

The lieutenant hurriedly replied: "The last general doesn't know! ”

"Rubbish!"

Zhu Gaoxu was furious, "Those Jinyi guards are now mainly investigating a group of corrupt officials and gentry in the north.

Now, a few southern gentry are passing by, oppressing the people, and selling illicit salt, can they take such pains to investigate? ”

"Those few families are a bunch of waste, they must have made Wang Zhen smell something!

This king knows that these gentry are whimsical all day long, and they are not reliable at all! ”

"Your Highness, of course what should the last general do?"

The lieutenant hurriedly replied.

Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly said: "You quickly clean up all the traces of those families in my Beiping Mansion!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The lieutenant hurriedly answered, and quickly retreated.

"According to the noses of those brocade guards, my father must know something!"

When Zhu Gaoxu was the only one left in the hall, the look on Zhu Gaoxu's face suddenly panicked.

"Those gentry are really damned, dare to deceive this king, want to do business with this king, and open up a north-south trade line.

The result is to use the name of this king to oppress the people and sell illicit salt......"

"I also lied to the king, Beiping is the vein of the dragon, the royal brother is fat, and my Ming prince will ......"

"Damn, what a bunch of traitors, it's only been a few months, and I've let Jinyiwei catch it!

According to the nature of his father, he will definitely be furious, and he will definitely investigate thoroughly. ”

"And Yan Shanwei of Beiping Mansion, as well as a number of officials and gentry, are all former ministers of the emperor, and the king's every move is ......."

The more he spoke, the more frightened Zhu Gaoxu became.

has been locked in the main hall for a day, and everyone in the palace was shocked.

"Your Highness!"

The head of the Yanwang Mansion hurriedly came to the outside of the hall and shouted urgently.

As soon as he shouted, an angry scolding came from the hall, "Get out!" Didn't the king say that no one was allowed to disturb the king! ”

Outside the hall, the chief steward subconsciously shuddered, but still shouted stubbornly: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has an order!" ”

"What?"

In the hall, Zhu Gaoxu's eyes widened instantly, and the whole person subconsciously snorted.

"Come in and report!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Looking at the chief manager who pushed the door in, Zhu Gaoxu asked in a deep voice.

"You said that the emperor has an edict?"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The chief steward hurriedly replied, "The ministers sent by His Majesty have already arrived in the palace. ”

"How many people came?"

Zhu Gaoxu asked again.

Only then did the chief administrator realize that something was wrong, and hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Highness, there are only three ministers, a team of guards, no more than twenty people!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu's whole person was relieved, "Let them in!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The chief steward bowed and withdrew.

Soon, three chamberlains, holding an edict in their hands, walked in.

"The slave has seen His Royal Highness King Yan!"

"His Royal Highness King Yan, Your Majesty's decree!"

"The retainers take the order!"

Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly knelt down to accept the order.

The minister holding the edict glanced at Zhu Gaoxu with a strange expression, but he did not open the edict, but cleared his throat and learned Zhu Di's tone.

"You bastard, didn't we beat it lightly when we were young, and now I don't know it, it's serious?

Read the edict for yourself, and after reading it, make your own decision! ”

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu's face was suddenly full of surprise.

The minister hurriedly bowed his body and said with a smile on his face: "Please also ask Your Highness for forgiveness, this is specially explained by Your Majesty." ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly handed the edict to Zhu Gaoxu.

Only then did Zhu Gaoxu come back to his senses, took the holy decree, opened it and looked at it.

The more I looked, the more strange my expression became.

After reading it, Zhu Gaoxu looked at the three ministers again.

And the three ministers also seemed to remember something, and hurriedly bowed to Zhu Gaoxu.

"Your Highness, the slave maid and others are waiting outside the palace, if Your Highness makes a decision, please inform the slave and maid!"

With that, the three of them retreated.

"Wait!"

Before the three of them could leave, Zhu Gaoxu stopped the three.

"How was my father feeling when you came?"

Hearing this, the three attendants knelt down directly, their faces full of panic.

"Please spare your life!"

"That's it!"

Zhu Gaoxu snorted coldly, "It's not early today, get up early tomorrow morning, and this king will enter Beijing with you!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Hearing this, the faces of the three of them were all relaxed.

That night, Zhu Gaoxu explained all the things about the Yan Wangfu to Changshi, as well as the head of the palace and the princess.

Early the next morning, he took a team of guards and the three chamberlains to Beijing.

At the same time.

In Jiangxi, Fujian and other places, some gentry also received news from the north.

"Da Ping, they were captured by the Jinyi Guard?"

"How could they be caught if they were cautious?"

"Taigong, what should we do?"

"Alas, these vicious dogs of Jinyiwei are cruel and unkind, no matter what the outcome of this matter will be, I will let a few young people in my family go out to sea by boat to avoid it!"

"Taigong, things haven't gotten this bad, have they?"

Several middle-aged people were full of surprise.

"Alas!"

The old man with gray hair sighed helplessly, "You people are so bold that you dare to plot against that one!"

Moreover, at that time, the behavior was still so rough, and it was actually covered up with some interests.

However, you haven't thought about it, did the Jingshi rely on evidence to reason with you? ”

"Last year, we managed to escape, and you still behaved like this...... Alas!

As long as those brocade guards have any suspicions, they can take down our whole family with the evidence of guilt you have given us.

When they put us all in prison, what incriminating evidence do they want, and it's not up to them? ”

"This?"

At this moment, everyone in the room was shocked.

"Taigong, I'll go and arrange it later!"

It's just that as soon as they returned to their respective homes, they realized that something was wrong.

Their house seems to be being watched by the brocade guards!
