Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 412
Guo An was a little unconvinced and directly raised his hands in salute.

"Your Majesty, I would like to recommend a cabinet bachelor!"

"Oh?"

Zhu Di suddenly looked at Guo An with some interest.

"Who does Guo Qing recommend?"

Guo Andao: "Zhu Fu Zhu Changshi!"

"Zhu Qing?"

Zhu Di couldn't help but have a weird look on his face, "Zhu Qing is really unlucky for eight lifetimes when he meets you!

Zhu Qing is already so old. When he was in Beiping Mansion, he dealt with the government affairs you left behind all day long.

Now, we summoned Zhu Qing to the capital, and you asked Zhu Qing to approve the entire Ming Dynasty memorial? "

"Your Majesty has misunderstood Wei Chen!"

Guo Andao: "Wei Chen is doing this entirely for His Majesty's sake!"

Zhu Di curled his lips and said, "We would like to hear what Guo Qing thinks?"

Guo An quickly said: "When His Majesty was still King of Yan, Zhu Changshi was His Highness's chief historian and helped His Majesty handle the general affairs of King Yan's palace for more than ten years.

Zhu Changshi is most familiar with His Majesty's thoughts.

Your Majesty is also most familiar with Zhu Changshi's temperament, conduct, and talents.

Moreover, when Zhu Changshi was in Prince Yan's Mansion, he was very familiar with farmland, farms, merchants, officials, and military affairs.

When the cabinet is established, it is most convenient and at ease for Your Majesty to use the people you are most familiar with! "

"So, Guo Qing really thinks about us!"

Zhu Di said with a smile, but the teasing look in his eyes made Zhu Gaochi on the side couldn't help but tilt his head slightly.

No shame to see.

As for Guo An, he has always been very thick-skinned and saluted Zhu Di with a serious look on his face.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Zhu Di sighed softly and said, "It's just that Zhu Changshi must suffer endless pain of filing documents again!"

Guo An slowly shook his head and said: "Your Majesty's words are wrong.

Wei Chen once heard that there are often many old people who are busy with government affairs. After becoming official, they suddenly become free and have nothing to do. They will be extremely uncomfortable and even become decadent.

Presumably, the same is true for Zhu Changshi.

After joining the cabinet, Zhu Changshi can start busy again and prove his worth to His Majesty. Zhu Changshi should be very happy! "

Zhu Di couldn't help but said: "Guo Qing really understands Zhu Qing. After Zhu Qing knows this, he will definitely thank Guo Qing."

Guo An seemed unable to hear the sarcasm in Zhu Di's tone, and said quickly: "Your Majesty is laughing. After all, Wei Chen has worked with Zhu Changshi for many years!"

Zhu Di couldn't help but admire Guo An's shamelessness.

"..."

Thief Guo has just solved a big problem for us, so it's not appropriate to scold him.

Zhu Di took a slow breath and said again: "Everyone in Prince Yan's palace was able to survive the disaster, and we were also able to be taken seriously by the emperor and promoted to crown prince. Guo Qing has contributed a lot to our accession to the throne now!
I wonder what reward Guo Qing wants? "

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi on the side quickly looked at Guo An.

Guo An was also startled, and then said quickly: "Wei Chen is your Majesty's subordinate in Prince Yan's Mansion. We have already shared the prosperity and loss with Your Majesty. Helping Your Majesty is just rescuing Wei Chen.

But now, His Majesty has promoted Wei Chen to the fourth rank, Zhan Shifu Shao Zhan Shi, Zhongshun doctor, and also allowed Wei Chen to purchase half of the members of the Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce. Wei Chen is already grateful and dare not ask for other rewards. "

Zhu Di asked again: "Do you really don't want it?"

This made Guo An startled and hesitant.

In this world, the greatest achievement is the merit of following the dragon!

After all, he had won the throne for him, what greater achievement could there be than this.

But, the price after accepting the reward...

Thinking about it, Guo An couldn't help but start to feel embarrassed!

On the side, Zhu Gaochi was anxious!

"Teacher, as a minister, how can I hesitate and refuse the gift from my father?"

Guo An trembled and saluted quickly, "I thank your majesty for the gift!"

Zhu Di snorted coldly, "This is the first reward we have received since we came to the throne. You don't know what is good and what is good, how dare you hesitate?"

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Guo An said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen really feels that your Majesty's reward to Wei Chen before was good enough, and Wei Chen subconsciously wanted to refuse.

However, I also think that Your Majesty is so kind to me, and I can't help but appreciate it! "

"Humph!"

Zhu Di snorted coldly, "You're pretty sensible!"

Guo An quickly apologized and said with a smile, "It's a minor fault!"

Zhu Di suddenly straightened his expression and said, "Guo An listens to the order!"

"Wei Chen accepts the order!"

Guo An quickly saluted.

Zhu Di said loudly: "You are an old minister of Prince Yan's palace. You are knowledgeable and talented. You improved rice seeds, blessed thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty, and contributed to the country and the country of the Ming Dynasty.

He also improved the secret skills of steel-making, invented several firearms, helped our Prince Yan's Mansion conquer Korea and the Japanese Kingdom, quelled the Japanese invasion along the coast of our Ming Dynasty, opened up and expanded our territory for the Ming Dynasty, and made outstanding military achievements!

Since the founding of the country by Emperor Taizu Gao, meritorious deeds must be rewarded and transgressions must be punished.

You are still our minister of the dragon, and you should be called Yang Deze and praise your merits...

We now decree you to be the Marquis of Dinghai, to live in the town of thousands of households, to give you twenty thousand acres of fertile land, and to issue iron stamps, which will be hereditary and will not replace you, in order to honor you! "

"Marquis Dinghai? Marquis?"

Guo An opened his mouth wide and froze on the spot.

He didn't expect that he would be made a marquis directly without going through Jingnan!

Although he is the Marquis of Dinghai, he will probably be in charge of opening up the sea in the future.

But this is also a Marquis!
Moreover, there are still thousands of households in the city!
When Lao Zhu was in power, there were also examples of rewards for food households. The biggest food reward was to the first founding hero Li Shanchang, who asked Li Shanchang to choose [-] Shandong households to support Li Shanchang.

However, Li Shanchang refused very wisely.

This resulted in that after Li Shanchang, all the heroes imitated Li Shanchang and refused to eat households.Only the vassal kings in various places have real food households.

But now, Zhu Di only granted him a fiefdom of [-] households, but did not mention the fiefdom. In this way, it was an empty fiefdom.

On the side, Zhu Di's lips curled up slightly, and he was very satisfied with Guo An's reaction.

However, Zhu Gaochi was anxious.

Although Zhu Gaochi was led astray by Guo An, Zhu Gaochi still attached great importance to rules and etiquette.

Especially now, when the father is granting a reward, it is still better to directly reward a marquis and give him a city. The teacher should quickly accept the order and then refuse to eat the city!

Why are you in such a daze?

But he didn't know that there were two black and white villains fighting in his teacher's heart. The one thousand food yip was really too tempting!
After a long while, Guo An finally reacted, took a deep breath, and gave an exaggerated salute to Zhu Di.

"The humble minister accepts the order and thanks Your Majesty for your kindness."

"It's just that in the Ming Dynasty, I have never had a meritorious official who can live in the city, and I don't dare to ask Your Majesty to make an exception. I ask Your Majesty to take back the order!"

Zhu Di looked at Guo An with a strange expression, "You don't want these thousand households?"

If you only grant food to the city but not to the land, who can't see what your intention is?
Guo An complained in his heart, but still said with a very respectful expression on his face: "For a small minister's merit, being granted the title of a marquis by His Majesty is enough to make him shed tears of gratitude. As for the food, the small minister's merit is far from enough!"

"enough!"

Zhu Di chuckled lightly, "Jun Wuji, since we have awarded the reward, how can we take it back?
If I say I will grant you a thousand households, I will grant you a thousand households! "

"Your Majesty, I really don't dare to accept it!"

Guo An looked at Zhu Di with a face full of embarrassment. If you want to enfeoff land, just enfeoff it. You only talk empty words and don't give people any land. Isn't this a hooligan?
Zhu Di ignored Guo An and frowned in thought.

"Jiang Ning, I will seal you in Jiangning!"

"Jiang Ning?"

Guo An and Zhu Gaochi's eyes widened.

The Jiangning mentioned by Zhu Di is naturally Jiangning County under the current rule of Yingtianfu, the capital.

Now, Zhu Di directly gave Guo An, the Marquis of Dinghai, in Jiangning, a reward of a thousand households and [-] acres of fertile land here. How dare he accept this?
Guo An immediately shook his head, "Your Majesty, I really don't dare to accept it!"

"Why don't you dare?"

Zhu Di understood Guo An. Since Guo An said he didn't dare, he just didn't dare.

However, Zhu Di was even more angry.

When he was King of Yan, Guo An made such great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, but he did not receive matching rewards.

Now that he has become the emperor, he must make up for everything to Guo An.

Zhu Di waved his hand and said firmly: "You are just a coward. If you add up all your merits, not to mention one prince, even two or three princes will be enough.

That's it, it's settled, one thousand houses and twenty thousand acres of fertile land. Tomorrow we'll have people find a good place for you in Jiangning! "

"His Majesty……"

Guo An's expression changed slightly.

Zhu Di thought of something and said: "You have never been a general, and you don't have any personal guards around you.

But now that he has become a prince, how can he not have personal guards?

If you are familiar with Yanshanwei, they will respect you.

Tomorrow we will select one hundred households from the Yanshan Guards to serve as guards for your house! "

Guo An: "..."

Zhu Gaochi: "..."

"Okay, here it is!"

……

After coming out of the palace, Guo An still looked dizzy.

Has he just become a marquis, or can he be a hereditary and irreplaceable prince?

Guo An had a strong feeling of unreality.

However, turning around and looking at the group of eunuchs following him, as well as the two imperial edicts and a brocade box held in the hands of the leading eunuch, truly told him that all of this was true.

Pay homage to the Prime Minister and make him a Marquis, grant him the title of wife and son, show your ancestors and honor your lineage!

Well, he has actually accomplished all of this.

The Chief of the Yan Palace, Shi, is really a small state minister!

Along the way, all the officials passing by looked at Guo An in surprise.

Many of them didn't know Guo An, but just from the team behind Guo An, they could tell that they were going to spread the imperial edict!
Since His Majesty ascended the throne, are you finally going to start awarding rewards?

……

Guo Mansion.

Liu Baiwei was taking Yuelan, directing the housekeeper Guo Ang and a group of servants to hurriedly decorate the Guo Mansion.

As for the two Yaren, they were busy following Guo Ang.

There are two Yaren who are familiar with the capital, and Guo Ang is also happy to use them.

Sudden.

The disciple of the Guo Mansion ran in with a hurried look on his face.

"Ma'am, ma'am, the master is back!"

Liu Baiwei nodded slightly, "I understand!"

Menzi's face became even more anxious, "Madam, the master also brought a group of angels from the palace, it seems they are here to announce the edict!"

"The master asked me to invite my wife to come and receive the imperial edict!"

"edict?"

Liu Baiwei looked stunned. Although she was born in the Liu family, she had not had any officials in her family in recent years, nor had she received any rewards. She had never experienced any edicts.

therefore.

Liu Baiwei couldn't help but panic.

"Guo Ang, quickly stop what you are doing and follow me to the front hall!"
