Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 297 How did we not know that the Yanshan guard suffered heavy casualties? (Ask for a monthly ticket)

"Guo Changshi also said that he would personally explain this matter to you. It's just that for some reason today, after Guo Changshi left the palace gate, he ran towards the house in a daze, as if he had completely forgotten about it!"

"I see!"

After Zhu Di frowned and thought for a moment, he nodded slightly and said, "We will ask Guo Qing about this matter, and you will continue to hide it from the outside world!"

"The last will obey!"

……

However, what Zhu Di didn't expect was that it took less than two days.

Regarding Guo An, the news about the Japanese kingdom reported to Zhu Di in the main hall that day suddenly spread in Beiping Mansion.

The more it spreads, the bigger the momentum becomes.

At the same time, it was also passed on to the capital.

All the gentry and officials were talking about it.

However, it is obvious that while mourning and indignant, many officials and gentry still have such a sense of gloating.

However, the military households where Yanshanwei was located were full of astonishment. People in the entire Beiping Mansion were saying that His Royal Highness Yanshanwei suffered heavy losses in Japan.

However, they asked each other about many military households, and it seemed that the men in these military households had been writing letters to them and sending money.

Didn't hear any news of the man's death in battle?
Then why, there have been rumors outside that many people died in the battle of Yan Shanwei in the country of Wa?
Fortunately, these military households are not fools?
Naturally, it can be seen how much those people who have been talking about it outside are gloating, and they also know that their family has been envied by others in recent years, so they keep silent!

"If you come into his mother's house, you can't even see that our Prince Yan's mansion is good? You also said that Yanshan Guard suffered heavy casualties. Why don't we know about Yanshan Guard's heavy casualties?"

Hearing the news, Zhu Di was furious.

The concubine sighed slightly, "Your Highness, since that's the case, then act according to that Guo Changshi's plan.

Over the years, our Yan Palace has indeed become a bit dazzling.

Qin Wang, Jin Wang and others sent people to come here every year, hoping to share some money.

pity……"

"King Qin?"

Zhu Di was even more furious, "Second brother was fine when he was in the capital. Since he came to Xi'an, he has changed a lot. He is cruel and inhumane. Now he has caused complaints from millions of people in Shaanxi, and everyone in the court has impeached him.

This time, the emperor will definitely punish him severely. "

This time, the princess did not speak again.

After Zhu Di complained again, he left.

……

"Chi'er, do you want to follow us to meet your teacher?"

"My child is willing to go with father!"

……

Guo Mansion.

Since the day Guo An came back, the Guo Mansion has never been quiet.

"Father, look at the child's unique move, Guan Gong dragged his sword and chopped... drive!"

"Boom, boom..."

A boy in padded clothes, with his face flushed from the cold, was riding on a pony, dragging a wooden knife in his hand, and ran towards the scarecrow in the distance.

It's just that, running, running, even people and horses, directly bumped into the straw man.

On the side, Guo An was holding a girl in his arms.

Seeing this, the two laughed directly.

"Hahaha, Guo Shen, you idiot, you can't even swing a wooden knife!"

However, Guo Shen was also stubborn. After standing up from the pony, he casually patted the dust on his body with a look of unwillingness.

"Father, Eldest Sister, I don't blame Shen'er for this matter, it's because the pony is too young to move me!"

"Give you a big horse, and you won't be able to ride it!"

Guo Han looked contemptuous.

Guo Shen refused to accept, "Eldest sister can't ride either."

"I'm a woman, so I don't need to ride a horse!"

"I'm a scholar, and I don't need to..."

After speaking, Guo Shen was stunned.

"Idiot, scholars must also know how to ride a horse!"

"Father, do women also have to learn how to ride a horse?"

Guo Shen hurriedly looked at Guo An, his small eyes full of expectation.

"It's natural!"

Guo An nodded slightly, "You all have to learn how to ride a horse, but these are all things you will do when you grow up.

Now, you are all tasked with teaching us how to read and write. "

As soon as these words came out, Guo Shen's face turned bitter, "Father, can you not study?"

"cannot!"

Guo An's face was full of solemnity, "You kid, go out and ask, whose kid doesn't read and write all day long?

We let you play for half a day, are you still not satisfied? "

"But Dad, those words are too difficult to read, baby..."

Before Guo Shen finished speaking, a voice came from one side.

"Shen'er, Han'er, don't you hurry up to endorse with your master?"

Guo Han and Guo Shen both shuddered at the same time, their faces full of reluctance.

"Dad~"

Guo An got up quickly and walked outside without looking at the two of them.

"We still have business to do, let's go first!"

Guo Shen and Guo Han walked towards the backyard with mournful faces.

"Ok?"

Guo An, who had just stepped out of the courtyard, saw two figures, one large and one small, standing in front of a window, staring at him blankly.

Guo An was startled, "I have seen His Royal Highness King Yan, His Royal Highness! Your Highness, when did you come?"

Zhu Gaochi bowed to Guo An, "Chi'er has seen the teacher!"

Guo An nodded slightly, and then said: "His Royal Highness has not been to the Guo Mansion for a long time, His Royal Highness can go around and get familiar with the Guo Mansion!"

Zhu Di said directly: "Go wherever you want!"

"Thank you dad!"

Zhu Gaochi ran out with a happy face.

Guo An looked directly at Erniu who was beside him angrily, "Your Highness is coming, why didn't you tell us and let us go out to meet him?"

Er Niu was full of grievances, "Master, it's His Highness who forbids the villain..."

Zhu Di said directly: "We didn't let Erniu tell you."

As he said that, Zhu Di had a strange expression on his face, "I didn't expect that Guo Qing would be so afraid of guilt?"

Guo An smiled awkwardly, and said hastily: "Your Highness misunderstood, I only come back for so few days a year because I am away all year round.

Inside and outside the mansion, Madam has to be bothered, I feel guilty, I just don't want Madam to be angry. "

"Ugh!"

Hearing this, Zhu Di sighed slightly, "Guo Qing is a civil servant, but we often let Guo Qing send troops outside to conquer those vassal states, Guo Qing has been wronged!"

Guo An said directly: "Your Highness misunderstood, I am willing to attack the Japanese country, I like to attack the Japanese country!"

Zhu Di was speechless.

Guo An bowed to Zhu Di, "Your Highness please!"

Afterwards, he glared at Er Niu who was at the side again, "Why don't you rush to serve His Highness tea, snacks, snacks?"

"Yes, sir!"

Guo Erniu hurried to the side.

Guo An brought Zhu Di to the main hall.

And waved his hand, so that all the maidservants retreated.

As for Guo Erniu, he consciously stood outside to prevent anyone from approaching.

Inside the main hall.

Zhu Di's face darkened, "Guo Qing really lied to us so hard!"

"what?"

Guo An was startled, "This minister is terrified, I really don't know when this minister has deceived His Highness!"

Zhu Di said: "My Yanshan Guard is in the country of Wa. Is it really as difficult as Guo Qing said? And there are heavy casualties?"

"Heavy casualties? Who spread the rumor?"

Guo An was taken aback, then thought of something, and quickly explained: "Please forgive me, Your Highness, I just feel that my Yan Palace has developed a bit fast these years.

With a Goryeo, some people in the court should have been restless.

Now, if the attack on the Wa country goes smoothly again, I am afraid that even His Majesty will not be able to suppress it. "

"However, I planned to explain it to His Highness afterwards. However, I didn't expect that after I came out of the palace that day, I was in a hurry to go home, and I forgot about it. It was my fault. Your Highness please punish me."

Zhu Di waved his hand casually, didn't pay attention to these things, but said solemnly: "What Guo Qing said just now, why are you worried that the emperor will not be able to suppress it?"

"This……"

Guo An was startled again, and smiled wryly: "Your Highness, you are a prince, and you are still a vassal with military power.

Owning a Goryeo has greatly increased the power of the Yan Palace.

If you have the Wa country again, then Yan Wang Mansion..."

Zhu Di was furious, "Hmph, what are you afraid of, even if we have ten more Koryo and Wa kingdoms, it is impossible for our Yan Palace to have a rebel army.

Not to mention, we have never had the heart to rebel! "

Guo An's face was shocked, and he quickly dissuaded him: "Your Highness, be careful!"

"Guo Qing, what are you worried about?"

Zhu Di stared at Guo An closely, and asked in a deep voice.

Guo An smiled and said: "Your Highness, I am just worried, now that His Majesty and the Crown Prince are in power, they can accommodate Your Highness.

Because they knew that His Highness would not rebel no matter what. "

Zhu Di nodded slightly.

Guo An said leisurely: "Your Highness, what if... 20 years later, or 40 years later?"

Zhu Di was taken aback.

Immediately, his expression became serious.

"At that time, our Yan Palace will definitely turn the entire Goryeo and Wa kingdoms into the Yan kingdom. And at that time, the father and brother are old, and the new Ming prince and courtiers will regard us as Biggest threat!"

"Your Highness is wise!"

Guo An nodded slightly.

Zhu Di asked: "Guo Qing, what should we do?"

Guo An sighed helplessly, and said: "Now, my Yan Palace has conquered Korea and Japan, and I have to hand over a million taels of silver to Your Majesty every year.

A few years ago, my Prince Yan's Mansion earned so much silver taels.

However, in the future, with the mining of silver mines in Goryeo and Japan, the wealth earned by the Yan Palace will inevitably decline year by year.

Therefore, I also ask Your Highness to ask His Majesty for an order.

Prince Yan's Mansion is willing to expand the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Every time it conquers a country, it will hand over a million taels of silver to His Majesty in the first five years.

Five years later, the potential of those vassal kingdoms has been exhausted, and please allow His Majesty to no longer hand over the silver from the Yan Palace.

And those vassal kingdoms will belong to His Royal Highness Yan Kingdom, and future kings cannot take them away.

All government affairs at home and abroad in Yan are decided by His Royal Highness King Yan.

Moreover, if all the vassal kings of my Ming Dynasty want to conquer overseas vassal states, please support them.

After all, anyone who captures a vassal state can hand in an extra one million taels of silver to His Majesty every year.

In this way, it can also prevent some princes of the Ming Dynasty who like to fight from being trapped in their respective feudal states and have nowhere to display their talents, thus causing some troubles. "

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "Father should agree to this matter!"

Guo An nodded and said, "It's just that once this incident happened, His Majesty's edict to ban the sea will need to be changed. However, His Majesty has far-sighted considerations, so you should be able to see the benefits of this matter to Daming!"

Zhu Di said: "Guo Qing, don't worry, if we fail to write the letter alone, King Qin, King Jin, and King Wu will also play."

"Your Highness..."

Guo An opened his mouth, wanting to say something else.

However, after hesitating for a moment, he shut his mouth again.

"Guo Qing has something to say, but it's okay to say it!" Zhu Di asked.

Guo An smiled, and said, "Your Highness, I feel that I should build a cement road from Beiping City to Dagukou in the Yanwang Mansion!"

"Build a concrete road to Dagukou?"

Zhu Di's eyes widened suddenly.

"Guo Qing, the distance from Beiping City to Dagukou is five hundred miles. How much cement is needed to build such a concrete road? How much money will it cost?"

Guo An said: "His Royal Highness, the money brought back from Japan this year should be enough, right?"

Zhu Di: "..."
