Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 249 is up
Zhu Biao said helplessly, "Father, my ministers have already brought those thieves to the capital. Moreover, those thieves have already confessed.

After a while, the son-in-law presented the confession to the emperor! "

Lao Zhu directly asked, "Where is the confession?"

Zhu Biao was startled, and hurriedly said: "Father, this is the court meeting. It is not appropriate to delay the court's important affairs because of a few thieves. It is better to wait until after the next court, and then deal with it slowly!"

Hearing this, Sapphire and those censors immediately felt bad.

Old Zhu said in a cold voice: "In the past two days, the matter of the fourth child has been aroused in the capital, and even at the court meeting, all civil and military officials are filled with righteous indignation, and each one is more concerned about the other.

In this way, the matter will be made public directly at the court meeting, so as to prevent the officials from delaying their official duties without thinking about food and tea after they come down to court! "

Zhu Biao was helpless, he still didn't catch up.

"In this case, I also ask my father to pass on Cao Guogong Li Jinglong and Jingchuanhou Cao Zhen!"

"allow!"

As Lao Zhu finished speaking, there was a summons outside the hall.

Soon, Li Jinglong and Cao Zhen hurried in with a thick stack of confessions in their hands.

"My humble minister, Li Jinglong!"

"My humble minister Cao Zhen!"

"See Your Majesty, Your Majesty Saint Ann!"

"I'm safe! Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Present the confession in your hand!"

"According to the order!"

As the two stacks of confessions were slowly presented in front of Lao Zhu, Lan Yu and the censors suddenly stiffened and even trembled.

In the entire hall, there was a dead silence, only the sound of Lao Zhu opening his confession.

Suddenly, Lao Zhu, who had just read a few pages of confession, flew into a rage.

"Okay, okay, what a group of thieves!"

All the officials shuddered uncontrollably.

Lao Zhu looked at the officials of His Highness, and said in a cold voice: "Lan Yu, Min Renjin, Yin Shi, Yue Ji, Fei Liu! You all stand up for us and take a good look. These confessions are written by someone. Are you framing me?"

Lan Yu, censor Min Renjin, Yin Shi and others suddenly knelt on the ground trembling with a plop.

"Your Majesty, forgive me, those thieves must be framing my minister!"

"Framed?"

Old Zhu's face became more and more gloomy, "We were a little strange at the beginning, you, the dignified Duke of Liang, used to hate the imperial officials Min Renjin and Yin Shi the most, and often opposed them.

Unexpectedly, in order to frame the fourth child, you actually joined forces with the censors such as Min Renjin and Yin Shi. It's really brave! "

Zhu Biao quickly said: "Father, Duke Liang was also bewitched by those thieves, and that's why he did this wrong thing, please learn from Father!"

However, Lao Zhu, who was furious, ignored Zhu Biao's explanation and ordered directly.

"Hmph, come here!"

Immediately, a group of big Han generals rushed in.

"Detain a few treacherous ministers for us, and interrogate them thoroughly. As for Lan Yu, she will be confined at home and not allowed to leave the house without purpose!
Wait until we find out the truth, and then punish him..."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Decree to order Jin Yiwei Commander Jiang Yu to give us a good trial of those thieves brought back by the crown prince. If they dare to frame Prince Daming and commit the crime of deceiving the king, they must be severely punished!"

"According to the order!"

Following the departure of the servants and the great Han general, all the civil and military officials in the hall could not help but feel flustered and panicked.

Let Jiang Yu's vicious dogs come to investigate, this time I don't know how many innocent people will be implicated.

……

The meeting will disperse.

Be in the hall.

Zhu Biao told Lao Zhu in detail what he had seen during his inspection tour in Beiping Mansion for a few days.

And Lao Zhu also listened very seriously, and the more he listened, the stronger the smile on his face.

"Okay, the descendants of Guo Taishi are really extraordinary, and they actually researched such a miracle as Liangdao!

This is the blessing of my great Ming, the blessing of the common people...

Biaoer, the good rice you brought back must be planted by the best farmers.

When the good rice is harvested next year, I can let the people of Ming Dynasty plant those good rice too.

In this way, within a few years, the people in my Ming Dynasty will harvest hundreds of catties of grain every year! "

"Yes, Dad..."

"Father, I also confer on those four members of the Guo family as Di Gonglang of the eighth rank!"

"They deserve it!"

"Also awarded Guo Anzheng as a fifth-rank doctor!"

"After a while, let's make an order. Guo An has the demeanor of Guo Taishi!"

Zhu Biao said seriously: "Father, I think that Guo An's achievements in the future can completely surpass that Guo Taishi!"

"Ok?"

Old Zhu was taken aback, "Biao'er, you actually value that Guo An so much?"

"Ok!"

Zhu Biao nodded seriously, "I have never seen a person in such a state of mind, who usually looks like he has no desire for anything.

However, there is a world in my heart! "

Old Zhu said: "That's it, let's make an order later and transfer him to the capital!"

"Father, absolutely!"

Zhu Biao was startled, and quickly said: "Father, according to my observation, only the temperament of the fourth child is suitable for Guo An.

In the capital, all civil and military officials fought against each other, so if Guo An came to the capital, he would be framed to death by those officials.

Moreover, the fourth child also relied on Guo An very much, and asked Gao Chi to worship him as his teacher! "

"If that's the case, let him stay in Peiping!"

Lao Zhu didn't continue to press, but continued to say: "Lan Yu actually framed Lao Si like this, do you know why?"

Zhu Biao said slowly: "Father, my child can guess that one is that Liang Guogong is greedy for money and is bewitched by those merchants and gentry.

Another reason is that Liang Guogong is afraid that the fourth child will threaten the baby! "

Old Zhu asked quietly: "Then do you think the fourth child will have thoughts that he shouldn't have?"

Hearing this, Zhu Biao inexplicably remembered what he saw and heard in Beiping Mansion, and his face suddenly became strange.

"Father, the streets of Beiping City are clean and tidy, the farms are flocks of cattle and sheep, eggs are piled up like mountains, and cargo ships at Zhangjiawan Wharf are constantly flocking. Beiping City is such a prosperous scene.

Erchen felt that the fourth child was really governing the Beiping Mansion, and would not have any undue thoughts. "

"Furthermore, neither the fourth child nor the long history Guo An are that kind of people!"

"Oh?"

A trace of curiosity flashed in Lao Zhu's eyes, "How did you know that?"

"According to observations, the fourth son and Guo An seem to be in Beiping for enjoyment, and go to govern Beiping... Although these two people have great ambitions, they are similar to and different from ordinary people.

There is no need to mention the farm, Dad knows it all.

In the palace of the fourth child, there are also extravagant decorations and enjoyment, especially there is a palace that is specially made into a big bathhouse..."

Zhu Biao spoke slowly, he knew that even if he didn't tell everything about him in Beiping Mansion, someone else would tell Lao Zhu clearly.

After listening to it, Lao Zhu was furious, "This bastard, fourth son, is so extravagant and enjoyable.

It seems that he has made a fortune in Beiping Mansion. No wonder, so many merchants are envious of the wharf of the fourth son, and the fleet that trades with Korea! "

Zhu Biao was taken aback, "Father, have you forgotten that the fleet of the fourth brother traded with Korea still needs to hand over 150 million taels of silver to you every year!"

Old Zhu stared angrily, "Sapphire, you idiot! Biaoer, what are you going to do with this bastard, Sapphire..."

"..."

……

Beiping Prefecture.

Along with two letters, plus two imperial edicts.

The entire Palace of King Yan was full of joy.

Of course, Guo An is happy.

As for Zhu Di, he looked unwilling.

Guo An couldn't help but comforted him: "Your Highness, His Majesty was able to confine the Duke of Liang for a year, kill more than a dozen of his stewards, and fine him 1 taels of silver, which has exceeded my expectations."

"Besides, His Majesty sent another guard for you. His Highness the Crown Prince must have put a lot of effort into this kind of compensation!"

As for the censors and gentry merchants who conspired with Lan Yu, they were those who ransacked their homes and exterminated their families.

However, at this meeting, Guo An and Zhu Di didn't care too much about these people.

Zhu Di let out a long breath, and said, "Guo Qing, Emperor Father allocated a guard for us, but he didn't give us any land or money.

How much money do we need to pay to support this guard? "

"We always feel that this is the father wanting us to pay for raising those soldiers for him!"

Guo An smiled lightly, "Your Highness, as long as they become the guards of our Yan Palace, they are His Highness' soldiers."

"Hmph, so what? The emperor didn't order us to lead our troops to conquer those Mongols!"

Zhu Di looked displeased.

Guo An said: "Your Highness, don't worry, Lan Yu has made such a big mistake, His Majesty will not let him lead the army in the next two years.

And His Highness still has the merits of destroying the country, as long as His Majesty wants to send troops to patrol the northern territory of our Daming, His Highness will be the main general! "

Zhu Di's eyes lit up, "Is that true?"

Guo An looked confident, "It must be so!"

"Very good!"

Zhu Di was overjoyed, "Now that the autumn harvest is over, we must train those soldiers well!"

Guo An nodded slightly, Zhu Di could spoil those generals if he wanted to, so let him do it.

but……

Thinking about it, Guo An said again: "Your Highness, I want to open another firm."

Zhu Di said very boldly: "We're ready! Guo Qing can find He Zhong for whatever money he needs."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Guo An thanked him helplessly, and continued, "Your Highness, I want to open a grain business."

"Grain business?"

Now, Zhu Di finally got serious.

"Guo Qing wants to do grain business?"

Guo An said: "Your Highness, I feel that food is very important to the common people.

Therefore, it is better to control it in the hands of my Yan Palace.

In this way, even if there is a year of natural disasters, those grain merchants will not wantonly entrap the people of our Beiping Prefecture. "

Zhu Di immediately became serious, thought for a while, and asked, "How much money do you need for this?
Moreover, although we do not understand business matters.But we also know that grain merchants need to hoard a large amount of grain.

And in my Beiping Prefecture, and even in the surrounding provinces of Shanxi and Shandong, the people's fields can't grow much food.

As for those gentry and big landowners, they will not sell their grain to the commercial firms under my Prince Yan's mansion.

Could it be that Guo Qing is going to open the grain business to the south... If so, why not cooperate with the Shen family! "

Guo An smiled slowly, "Your Highness, in the past, our grain business in Prince Yan's Mansion would have been oppressed by those grain merchants and gentry, and would not be able to open at all.

However, now my Prince Yan's Mansion has good rice.

What's more, my Prince Yan's Mansion still has the people of Goryeo farming the fields, and my Prince Yan's Mansion will not be short of food...

Even if those grain merchants and gentry unite to suppress my Yanwangfu trading firm, I don't have to worry about it at all! "

"Of course, His Royal Highness needs to know that I don't intend to make money in the grain business..."

Hearing what Guo An said, Zhu Di immediately became energetic.

"In this way, Guo Qing can let go of it, and all the money in the family can be used by Guo Qing!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"
