Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 231 Zhu Gaochi's apprenticeship with Guo An

Xu Miaoyun smiled helplessly.

"Your Highness, Guo Changshi is thinking of you!"

"For me?"

Zhu Di was a little puzzled.

Xu Miaoyun said: "Your Highness, you are just the King of Yan, and Guo Changshi's official position is already the highest in my Prince Yan's residence. He has no choice but to love money!"

"..."

After being stunned for a while, Zhu Di sighed softly.

"We wronged Guo Qing!"

Xu Miaoyun said: "Your Highness, don't think like this, Guo Changshi is not such a powerful person.

Moreover, in Daming, only His Royal Highness can trust Guo Changshi so much, and let Guo Changshi let Guo Changshi use his inner talents..."

"No, Guo Qing made such a great contribution, we have to reward Guo Qing..."

……

The next day.

Guo An just finished ordering.

Zhu Di sent someone to find Guo An.

"I don't know why Your Highness is looking for this minister?"

Zhu Di said earnestly, "Guo Qing has done a great job in finding a way to increase grain production for my Ming Dynasty. We must reward Guo Qing!"

"what?"

Guo An was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Zhu Di with surprise on his face.

He really didn't know, how could Zhu Di, who was just a feudal lord, have the confidence to reward him for his long history.

Could it be possible to reward money?However, Zhu Di also searched...

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Thinking about it, Guo An hurriedly cupped his hands to thank Zhu Di.

"However, Guo Bingyong, Guo Zhi, the four brothers of the clan, and all the old men and farmers on the farm have been working hard to increase the rice production. In fact, the humble minister did not have any credit for it!"

Zhu Di looked determined, "Guo Qing must not be humble. Without Guo Qing, how would Guo Bingyong and Guo Zhi know how to cultivate fine rice and succeed in cultivating it...Guo Qing deserves a lot of credit for this matter." without.

Then Tao Chengdao can become Tao Wanhu, Guo Qing has made such great achievements, how can we wrong Guo Qing? "

Guo An looked at Zhu Di in astonishment, "Your Highness, can you give a reward to a humble minister?"

Zhu Di's eyes widened.

Guo An smiled sheepishly, and asked, "Your Highness, I don't have much ambition, and I don't want to have much power. I am satisfied with the money that His Highness gave me!"

Zhu Di said: "Guo Qing, I know that you are always benevolent, but some people will not bully you just because you are benevolent!"

Guo An was a little puzzled and said, "This minister is the chief history of Prince Yan's residence. I don't know who else dares to bully this minister in Beiping Mansion?"

Zhu Di said: "Some people dare to bully us, but no one dares to bully Guo Changshi?"

"Ok?"

Guo An's expression froze, and he said angrily, "Your Highness, is someone interested in doing business with Korea?"

"Humph!"

Zhu Di sneered, "Some wealthy gentry are greedy for the benefits of doing business with Korea, so they not only jumped up and down the court of the capital, but also persuaded those princes to send people here, intending to add more than a dozen large ships to our fleet. !"

"There are more than a dozen large ships, and they actually want to take our Yanwang Palace fleet to go to Korea to do business on their own?"

Guo An was surprised again.

Zhu Di said bitterly: "A group of greedy people dare to think about anything, and even want to buy a large number of Korean maidservants!"

Guo An was speechless, those few were really daring.

"Your Highness, I absolutely dare not agree to this matter. With such a huge profit from doing business with Korea, the gentry and rich merchants in the south, and even some people in the capital, are trying to find a way for His Highness to take away the right to do business with Korea day and night.

If His Highness agrees to those few, I am afraid that the matter will be reported to His Majesty just after His Highness's fleet sails out of Dagu Port! "

Zhu Di looked disdainful, "Don't worry, Guo Qing, we are not the kind of people who are greedy for profit.

However, if they dare to be uneasy and kind to us, don't blame us for being rude to them! "

Guo An nodded slightly, "No matter what you do, Your Highness can even announce the matter directly, and tell it in a fair and honest manner. The Yan Palace will no longer have any business dealings with those merchants who harbor evil intentions!"

"good!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, looked at Guo An and said again: "However, those merchants and gentry dare not provoke this king, but Guo Qing has to guard against it!"

Guo An was startled, "Your Highness, this humble minister is just a little prince..."

Zhu Di said: "However, Guo Qing's virtuous name may have already entered the ears of all the gentry and wealthy businessmen in Ming Dynasty."

Guo An looked depressed.

Zhu Di continued: "Therefore, we are going to ask Guo Qing to be Chi'er's teacher!"

"Teacher Shizi?"

Guo An was startled and shook his head again and again.

"Your Highness thinks highly of me. I have no other talents except for studying craftsman's things. How can I be a teacher for the son?"

"It's okay!"

Zhu Di waved his hand indifferently, "Guo Qing is Chi'er's teacher, those people will be more afraid of Guo Qing!"

Guo An asked: "May I ask Your Highness, the former Mr. Luo Guanzhong?"

There was a strange flash in Zhu Di's eyes.

"Just don't worry Guo Qing, Mr. Luo won't mind at all!"

"So, this humble minister is so disrespectful!"

Guo An clapped his hands in response.

Zhu Di's face was full of joy, "Guo Qing, don't worry, we will take Chi'er to apprentice tomorrow!"

"It's up to His Highness to decide!"

At this time, Guo An was like a little girl who was forcibly matched.

However, the more involved he is with the Yan Palace, the more difficult it is for others to touch him.

And Yan Wang Zhu Di personally brought his eldest son Zhu Gaochi to worship him as a teacher, then this teacher is a teacher with a teacher's inheritance, not the kind of professor in the palace, who only has a reputation!

the next day.

Zhu Di took Zhu Gaochi and Shu Xiu to the Guo Mansion to learn from him.

Apart from the Guo family members, there was no one watching the ceremony.

However, when Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi stepped into the Guo Mansion, the matter of Zhu Di taking his eldest son to apprentice with Chang Shi Guo An had already been passed on under Zhu Di's secret instruction.

Guo Mansion, the main hall.

After the apprentice ceremony.

Zhu Gaochi stood beside Zhu Di with a well-behaved face, quietly watching Zhu Di chat with Guo An.

However, the curiosity towards Guo Fu cannot be hidden in his eyes.

Seeing this, Guo An smiled slightly, "His Royal Highness has never been to other people's houses?"

Zhu Gaochi straightened his face, and quickly saluted Guo An respectfully.

"Chi'er is rude, please punish me by the teacher!"

Guo An was taken aback, "Why should we punish you?"

Zhu Gaochi said: "The teacher is talking to the father, but the disciple is distracted. This is disrespect..."

"alright, alright!"

Guo An quickly stopped, "It's a trivial matter, His Royal Highness doesn't need to care about it. His Royal Highness is still young, just the age to be curious and play. If you are curious about our house, go out and have a look!"

Zhu Gaochi's eyes were full of astonishment.

However, he still involuntarily looked at Zhu Di who was at the side.

Zhu Di said softly, "This is the Guo Mansion. Your teacher told you to play as you please, so you can play as you please!"

"Thank you father, thank you teacher!"

Zhu Gaochi was overjoyed, thanked Zhu Di and Guo An, and walked out slowly.

All the servants of the Guo family also know the identity of Zhu Gaochi.

Therefore, Zhu Gaochi was allowed to look around curiously in the Guo Mansion.

However, Zhu Gaochi was dignified and quiet by nature, and he was very polite, and he was very interested in not entering some of the more important houses in Guo's mansion.

……

"Ok?"

After a while, in the main hall, Zhu Di had chatted with Guo Anchang for a long time, but he suddenly realized that his eldest son had been out for such a long time and hadn't come back yet.

"Come on, where is the son?"

Zhu Di shouted towards the door.

A guard quickly replied: "Go back to Your Highness, His Royal Highness is in a room behind."

Zhu Di said: "What's so good about staying in a house? Why have you stayed for so long?"

The guard hurriedly said: "Your Highness, forgive me, the villain doesn't even know!"

On the side, Guo An has some understanding.

"Your Highness, why don't you go and have a look?"

"Can!"

Zhu Di got up and walked towards the backyard with Guo An.

A long distance away, they heard a burst of cheerful laughter.

Zhu Di's eyes were even more puzzled.

However, Guo Mansion is not as big as them.

Soon, they came to the door of the house.

There is no furniture in the house, only some small objects made of wood.

Zhu Gaochi, on the other hand, was riding on a small wooden ox, kicked his feet on the ground, and the wooden ox under his buttocks ran forward with Zhu Gaochi.

Although it looks very naive, Zhu Gaochi is very happy.

Well, it looks a little silly!

On the other side, Liu Baiwei and Yue Lan were playing with Guo Han and Guo Shen, the little ones, very happily.

"See His Royal Highness King Yan!"

Seeing Zhu Di at the door, Liu Baiwei and Yue Lan were startled, and hurried forward to salute.

"You two don't need to be polite!"

Zhu Di said with a gentle face.

"Father, teacher!"

Zhu Gaochi, who was playing immersively, woke up suddenly, got up quickly, and saluted Zhu Di and Guo An.

In the eyes, there is still some panic.

Before Zhu Di could speak, Guo An asked with a smile, "Your Highness, is this fun?"

Zhu Gaochi took a look at Zhu Di who was already stern, but with his education, he had to reply to his teacher Guo An, so he could only reply honestly.

"Returning to the teacher, Chi'er has never played with this kind of toy. Therefore, I got carried away for a while, and I ask the teacher and the master to calm down!"

"It's human nature to play. His Royal Highness is still young, and it's human nature to like to play around. What's the crime?"

Guo An smiled gently, "If His Royal Highness wants to play in the future, feel free to come to Master, and Master will take you to play!"

Zhu Gaochi was startled.

On the side, Zhu Di's face darkened.

He actually forgot that Guo Qing was always thinking of teasing Chi'er to play around more.

Now, he actually asked Chi'er to apprentice him?
In this way, wouldn't Chi'er be sent into Guo Qing's hands, and let Guo Qing lead her into harm?
Thinking about it, Zhu Di couldn't wait any longer.

"Guo Qing, I still have some things to deal with, so I'm going back to the palace!"

After speaking, he took Zhu Gaochi and walked out.

"My humble servant sends His Highness a respectful fare!"

Guo An sent Zhu Di to the door with a smile.

Back in the house, Liu Baiwei looked worried.

"Husband, Your Highness worshiped your son as a teacher because you want him to teach your son, how can you encourage your son to play around?

In this way, if His Highness or Princess is offended..."

"It's okay!"

Guo An didn't care, "My husband is the teacher of Shizi, and playing around is my way of teaching."

"Furthermore, His Highness asked the prince to worship us as a teacher, but he did not intend to let us teach the prince. Instead, he wanted to tie us up on the big ship of King Yan's Mansion..."

"what?"

Liu Baiwei was taken aback.

Guo An didn't explain much, but turned around and picked up his eldest daughter, and walked to the back room.

"He won't let us teach, but we want to teach!"

……

Outside Yingtian City.

Zhu Liang led two guards from the Yan Palace, rode directly into the city gate sweating profusely, and rushed all the way to the palace.

A quarter of an hour later.

The two tigers walked into Fengtian Hall with a happy face.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Zhu Liang, the guard of King Yan's Palace, asked to see His Majesty, and said that King Yan has a performance and auspicious offerings!"
