Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 306 Dao Yan: I Was Backstabbed

"Father has decreed that we and Qin Wang, Jin Wang and other vassal kings will lead the army to protect the border, and we don't have to go to Beijing to fulfill our filial piety!"

Zhu Di spoke slowly, and told Guo An Dalue everything that happened during this period.

During Guo An's absence, Master Daoyan was Zhu Di's most trusted adviser.

However, as soon as Guo An came back, he became Zhu Di's most assured adviser.

It is true that Monk Daoyan has great wisdom, but it is a little weird, which makes him unable to see through it, and often urges him to seek rebellion!
Zhu Di wanted to yell at Monk Daoyan, how many soldiers and horses does King Yan control?Dare to covet that position?

Moreover, now, his father is still sitting in that seat. If his father finds out that King Yan has evil intentions, he will definitely not be as lucky as King Qin. He just scolded him and sent him back to the domain !
Guo An nodded slightly, "So, Your Highness can inspect all the guards in Beiping Mansion and rectify military discipline. Now His Highness the Crown Prince has just passed away, and the court is in turmoil. Beware of Beiyuan thieves taking the opportunity to invade our Daming border!"

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, looked at Guo An and said, "Guo Qing, don't worry, my king has guarded Beiping for many years, so I won't let those Beiyuan thieves take advantage of the loopholes.

Moreover, as early as the beginning of the year, the father changed the title of the old thirteen to the acting king and asked him to guard the Datong mansion! "

Guo An said: "Since this is the case, Your Highness should prepare for the autumn harvest."

"autumn harvest?"

Zhu Di was taken aback.

"Exactly!"

Guo An nodded slightly, "His Royal Highness, the wheat is now golden, and the rice is about to mature. The melons and fruits in the orchard need to be carefully picked and sold. Those chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep on the farm...

Your Highness, although you have a very good relationship with His Highness the Crown Prince, you must not forget to govern Beiping because of grief.

Presumably His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will reprimand you when he learns that you are indulging in grief and delaying these farming tasks..."

Zhu Di slowly opened his mouth wide, eyes full of astonishment.

As for Zhu Fu who rushed over, as well as a group of officials, their eyes widened and they were shocked.

Immediately, after recovering from his senses, Zhu Fu and a group of officials quickly remonstrated with Zhu Di.

"I implore Your Highness to let go of the grief and govern Beiping!"

"Weichen and others implore Your Highness..."

Zhu Di's expression was concentrated, and he said solemnly: "My dear friends, it is my fault. I have been indulging in grief for a while, and I almost missed a big deal!"

"Your Highness is wise!"

Zhu Fu and other officials quickly flattered him.

I don't know when, all the officials of Yan Wangfu seem to have learned this kind of sycophant's words from the right chief Shi Guoan.

Afterwards, Guo An and Zhu Di reported separately for a while before leaving and returning home.

……

Guo Mansion.

Seeing Guo An, Liu Baiwei, Yue Lan and others coming in, they were both surprised and happy.

As for the two cubs, Guo Shen and Guo Han, they were even more happy.

This time, their father went out and came back early.

In the house, there was a lot of joy and laughter.

Those who return from afar get the best reception.

In the evening, after some tenderness, Liu Baiwei asked with a worried face.

"Master, why did you come back so early? But because of His Royal Highness?"

"Yes!"

Guo An sighed slightly, "We thought we could keep hiding, but I didn't expect that His Royal Highness King Yan would not let me, a right-hand man, hide in Japan to enjoy my leisure!"

Liu Baiwei exclaimed, "Master, you already knew? So, before you left, did you tell me that?"

Guo An was taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly, "Sister, don't think wildly, I'm just guessing randomly."

Liu Baiwei didn't continue to ask, but said again with a worried face: "My lord, since that person passed away, there have been rumors in the entire Beiping Mansion that His Royal Highness King Yan is expected to become the crown prince...

There are even rumors that His Royal Highness King Yan is plotting against you..."

"Did His Royal Highness King Yan and Jin Yiwei go to investigate?"

Guo An's expression tightened, and he asked quickly.

Liu Baiwei said slowly: "I don't know, but this kind of news has only been spread for half a month, and then it disappeared!"

"Ok!"

Guo An breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, sister, His Royal Highness King Yan is a virtuous king and will not do anything against you!"

"That's good!"

Liu Baiwei was also relieved.

……

Guo An rested at home for two days, and then went to the Palace of King Yan to be on duty.

In the past two days, Zhu Di seemed to have changed. He no longer stayed in the mourning hall all day long. Instead, he took all the officials of King Yan's Mansion and Zhu Gaochi to personally inspect the farmlands in various counties of Beiping Mansion.

Seeing this, the Jin Yiwei and the officials in the entire Beiping Mansion breathed a sigh of relief.

And the people of Beiping Mansion are also relieved.

His Royal Highness King Yan is still the former King Yan, and he has no intention of treason!

And in the Changshi Division.

Not long after Guo An sat down, Monk Daoyan walked in from the door.

"The monk has met Guo Changshi!"

Guo An showed surprise on his face, "Master Daoyan came to find me so early, but what's the matter?"

"Guo Changshi really doesn't know?"

Monk Daoyan looked at Guo An quietly and asked quietly.

"What do I know?"

Guo An was stunned.

Monk Daoyan said directly in a low voice: "Now His Royal Highness has gone, and His Majesty is old. Among all the vassal kings today, although King Qin and King Jin are quite brave, they are cruel and absurd, and they are by no means the choice of a wise king.

Only His Royal Highness King Yan is the most virtuous, with a touch of imperial spirit. As long as His Royal Highness King Yan fights for it, [-]% of the crown prince can be His Royal Highness! "

"Mage beware!"

Guo An stood up in shock, walked out the door quickly, looked around twice, and was relieved when he found no one.

Immediately, he stared at Monk Daoyan with a cold gaze, "Master, do you want to taste what it's like to steal your family and exterminate your family?"

Dao Yan was surprised. Although Guo An was just a weak scholar, he commanded tens of thousands of troops to conquer Goryeo and Japan, and he did not know how many people he ordered to kill.

In a fit of rage, there was also a murderous aura.

"Guo Changshi, don't be shocked, His Highness is the one who resembles His Majesty the most among all the vassal kings.

In the past few days, the monk has also tested His Highness many times. Although His Highness didn't say it clearly, he still has expectations for that seat! "

"Really?"

Guo An smiled lightly, stared at Dao Yan and asked, "Then why didn't Your Highness write a letter to His Majesty in person?"

Dao Yan looked at Guo An with a look of disbelief, "Guo Changshi, His Royal Highness is still alive, how dare His Highness fight for that position at this time?"

Guo An said coldly: "Why does Master Daoyan move around, wanting His Highness to impress His Majesty, the courtiers, and even the people of the world as a heartless and ungrateful person?"

Dao Yan was startled, and quickly explained: "Guo Changshi misunderstood, the monk is loyal to His Highness, how could he do such a thing?"

Guo An said: "Isn't the mage doing it?"

"This……"

Dao Yan smiled wryly, "Guo Changshi, Your Majesty is old and the crown prince has passed away. In order to stabilize the court, His Majesty will definitely appoint a new crown prince as soon as possible.

If you don't take advantage of this time and wait until His Majesty appoints a crown prince, then Your Highness will never have a chance! "

Guo An directly sneered and said, "Master Daoyan meant that His Highness is not the best candidate for the crown prince in His Majesty's eyes?"

Dao Yan hurriedly said: "In His Majesty's mind, His Highness must be the best person for the Crown Prince!"

"Why is Master Daoyan so anxious?"

Guo An stared at Dao Yan closely, "So, isn't the mage asking His Highness to leave a bad impression on His Majesty and the court, and intentionally let His Highness miss that seat?"

Monk Daoyan opened his mouth and realized that he had fallen into Guo An's trap. No matter what he said, it would be his fault, so he couldn't help but smile wryly.

"Guo Changshi has such a sharp tongue!"

"It's the mage who is fascinated by that person!"

Guo An said calmly.

However, Monk Daoyan finally waited for this opportunity, so he will not let it go easily.

"Guo Changshi is a talented person with great foresight. You should know that my Daming vassal king is powerful, no matter who will sit on that seat in the future, I will not accommodate all of you vassal kings.

If His Royal Highness King Yan misses a great opportunity this time, then when the new king succeeds in the future, it will be the time when all the people in King Yan's Mansion move to Korea or Japan! "

Guo An was unmoved, "That's why I have been doing my best to govern Korea and Japan!"

Dao Yan stared closely at Guo An and asked, "Then why Guo Changshi has been transporting the property of Goryeo and Wa Kingdom to Beiping Mansion and using it to govern Beiping Mansion instead of Goryeo and Wa Kingdom?

Although the monk doesn't know what Guo Changshi's plan is, he also knows that this is the most justifiable time for His Highness! "

"Really?"

Guo An sneered, "Master, do you know that when His Majesty ascended the throne, he established the succession system of establishing the successor and the successor.

Only in this way, the future generations of the Ming Dynasty will not appear, and the blood of all the vassal kings fighting for that seat is like a river! "

"Master, just because His Royal Highness King Yan is most like His Majesty in martial arts, His Majesty will establish His Highness Yan King?
Establishing a crown prince is not just playing tricks, even if His Majesty wants to establish His Highness King Yan, do you think the officials will agree? "

"Also, the bones of His Royal Highness are still lying in the capital?
Master, Your Majesty loves His Highness the Crown Prince the most. Do you think His Majesty will be such a heartless person? ..."

"But……"

Dao Yan hesitated to speak.

Guo An said: "Master, in my opinion, His Royal Highness King Yan only has a [-]% chance. And what kind of chance is that [-]%, presumably the Master can think of it?
But how can this be done? "

"Moreover, the mage should also know that the Yan Palace is still a thin ant to the court.

No matter how the mage wanders around, the last thing is all up to His Majesty and the court!
In order for His Highness to leave a good impression on His Majesty and the court, if the mage has nothing to do these few days, he should go back to the academy!

In the coming year, it will be time for the exam again, don't delay the future of my students from Beiping Prefecture! "

"Amitabha!"

Dao Yan looked helpless.

Originally, he asked Zhu Di to recall Guo An back to Beiping because he thought Guo An was a fellow man.

With Guo An around, his plan can be [-]% successful.

But now, after all, he shot himself in the foot with a rock!
Although Zhu Di didn't know the specific content of the private conversation between Guo An and Dao Yan, he was aware of it.

After seeing Dao Yan go back to the academy, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

He, Zhu Di, also liked that seat very much, and even looked forward to it, but he couldn't compete for that seat when his elder brother's bones were still alive!
He also believed that with Zhu Di's merit and wisdom, no matter if he was the second, third, or fifth child, he couldn't compare to him.

His father could only make him the crown prince.

And if his father did not appoint him, but Zhu Yunqi instead, even if he, Zhu Di, bribed all the ministers in the court, he would not be able to change his father's mind.

In this case, it is better to follow Guo An's suggestion and manage Beiping Mansion with peace of mind.
