Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 440 looks very much like the treasure banknotes just printed!
but.

Guo An soon discovered that he did not need to restrain Xu Yong and others at all.

In less than a few days.

The entire capital knew that His Majesty was planning to make the eldest prince Zhu Gaochi the crown prince.

To this, no one in the entire capital objected!
In fact, all the civil servants have a sense of celebrating each other.

"Is this news deliberately released by His Majesty? Let's see the reaction of the entire capital's nobles and officials?"

Guo An also reacted.

Then, he smiled faintly and continued to sit on his soft chair.

……

Shangyuan Festival.

The capital was decorated with lanterns and streamers, and officials in the capital took a collective holiday.

In the palace, Zhu Di gave a banquet to the civil and military officials and the elderly, and placed an Aoshan lantern at the Meridian Gate.

On this day, there was no curfew in the capital.

After nightfall, Guo An also took his whole family to visit the capital for a day.

The streets and alleys of the entire capital are bustling with people, merchants from all over gather, and there are exquisite pearls, stones, and silks. It seems that all the rare treasures in the world are basically gathered in the capital.

Countless skills and operas are being performed vigorously, surrounded by men, women, old and children, and it is very lively.

There is also the Jiuqu Lantern of the Yellow River, which is three to four miles long. There are all kinds of riddle lanterns hanging inside. Once you enter, it will take at least an hour to get out again.

In the wide area, there are hundreds of fireworks, big and small, bright or dark, cannons, third-level waves, gophers, flower pots, flower tubes... hundreds of kinds.

Staying up all night and brightly lit, Guo An felt like he was back in Chang'an during the Tang Dynasty!
When he returned to his house in the middle of the night, Guo An didn't even bother to wash up. He just lay on the bed without moving.

Day two.

At three o'clock in the morning, Guo An was still lying on the bed.

"Master, it's time to get up!"

Liu Baiwei came in from outside and urged Guo An.

Guo An turned his head slightly and said slowly: "The master is ill and needs to rest for two days!"

Liu Baiwei: "...?"

At this time, a rapid voice sounded from outside.

"My lord, my lord..."

"What's the matter?"

Guo An asked helplessly.

Outside the door, Guo Ang loudly reported: "Master, there is someone coming from the palace, Your Majesty summons you!"

Guo An looked helpless, "Why did your Majesty choose this time?"

Liu Baiwei said quickly: "Master, if His Majesty summons you now, there must be something important. You should get up as soon as possible and go to the palace!"

"Ugh!"

Although Guo An wanted to lie dead for two days, he knew that if he made another excuse to be sick, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi might really come to visit him!

Until then...

"Wait for us to change clothes!"

Guo An said helplessly.

"Yes, sir!"

On the side, two maids hurriedly came forward to help Guo An change clothes and wash up.

After a quarter of an hour.

Guo An walked out of the house with a listless expression. After getting on the carriage, he leaned against the wall and fell asleep.

When he arrived in front of the palace gate, Guo An was woken up by a shout, and then he wandered in again.

"Wei Chen sees His Majesty!"

In Fengtian Hall, Guo An weakly saluted.

"Ok?"

Above, seeing Guo An's expression, Zhu Di's expression changed and he quickly asked: "Why is Guo Qing so tired?"

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I'm so disrespectful!"

Guo An bowed to Zhu Di with a face full of shame, and then said: "Last night, Wei Chen also went to the city to join in the fun!"

"Watching the Lantern Festival?"

Zhu Di's eyes lit up. Last night, he also climbed up the imperial city wall and took a long view on the imperial city wall.

"Guo Qing, how is our capital?"

Guo An said slowly: "There are so many people here and there, it's very lively, which makes me feel like I'm back in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Chang'an."

Zhu Di was overjoyed, "Hahaha, as long as we are given another ten years, our Ming Dynasty will be as strong as the Tang Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Guo An nodded and said with certainty: "Your Majesty's Hong Ding Dynasty must be as powerful as the prosperous Tang Dynasty."

Zhu Di also said seriously: "What Guo Qing said is very true..."

Two shameless people, after seriously enjoying themselves.

Amidst Guo An's constant yawns, Zhu Di finally talked about his purpose of summoning Guo An.

"Guo Qing, we are going to make Chi'er the crown prince, what do you think?"

Guo An saluted with joy on his face, "Your Majesty is wise, as the Crown Prince, I can be of greatest assistance to Your Majesty!"

"Oh?"

Zhu Di's eyes flashed, and he stared at Guo An and asked, "Why did Guo Qing say that Chi'er will be a big help to us after he becomes the prince?"

Guo Andao: "Reporting to Your Majesty, now, under His Majesty's guidance, His Majesty has already become proficient in approving memorials and handling government affairs of the Ming Dynasty.

When His Highness is established as Crown Prince, Your Majesty can let His Highness supervise the country!
In this way, your Majesty can go wherever he wants to go..."

"It's wonderful!" Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and then he clapped his hands and exclaimed with great joy on his face, "This method by Guo Qing is wonderful!"

"..."

Guo An was stunned for a long time and then said weakly: "It seems that Wei Chen didn't come up with this method!"

"Oh?"

Zhu Di said a little strangely, "If it wasn't Guo Qing who came up with the method, who else could it be?"

Guo An: "..."

Zhu Di ignored it and continued: "Guo Qing, Chi'er is the crown prince, and Guo Qing should be the crown prince's master!"

"Wei Chen?"

Guo An was startled for a moment, then nodded repeatedly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for being so kind!"

"Very good!"

Zhu Di was overjoyed again.

"Five days later, I will officially crown Chi'er as the crown prince!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

……

Guo An was surprised.

The Prince's Third Master, starting from Lao Zhu, has a false title and is directly held by the court ministers. They do not manage the duties of the East Palace and have nothing to do with the responsibility of tutoring the Prince.

Even the title of the third young prince is empty.

Even in the Yongle year when he did not change, Yao Guangxiao only served as the prince's young master, leaving the prince Zhu Gaochi as an assistant.

But now, he has directly become the crown prince and grand master.

However, he is also the official teacher of the Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi and serves as the Crown Prince's Grand Master. Upon closer inspection, he is well-deserved.

After returning to Dinghaihou Mansion, Guo An did not make any announcement.As for Monk Dao Yan, he did not ask.

……

"Sir, Mr. Shen is asking to see you!"

Guo Ang reported to Guo An.

"Shen Zhuang?"

Guo An asked with some confusion.

"Sir, it's none other than Member Shen!" Guo Ang replied.

Guo An said slowly: "Let him come in!"

"Yes, sir!"

Guo Ang bowed and retreated.

Soon, he led Shen Zhuang in from the outside.

"The common people congratulate the Marquis!"

As soon as he saw Guo An, Shen Zhuang said with joy on his face.

"Why are you so happy?" Guo An said quietly.

Shen Zhuang said: "Master Marquis, His Highness has been named the Crown Prince, and Master Marquis has become the Prince's mentor, and even the future Emperor's mentor!"

"Well! That's true!"

Guo An nodded slightly, still looking indifferent, which made Shen Zhuang stunned.

"Sit down!"

"Thank you Hou Ye!"

Shen Zhuang sat down quickly, and then said again: "Master Hou, the common people came here this time because they discovered something important and want to report it to Master Hou!"

"Oh?"

A trace of curiosity flashed in Guo An's eyes, "What's the big deal?"

Shen Zhuang carefully took out a stack of brand new treasure notes and an old treasure note from his arms, and handed them to Guo An together.

"Master Marquis, please look at these treasure notes!"

"What's the difference between these treasure notes?"

Guo An took the treasure note and looked it over, feeling a little confused.

Shen Zhuang whispered: "Master Hou, these banknotes are the same as all the banknotes of the Ming Dynasty, but they are too new!"

“Really new!”

Guo An nodded slightly, and then looked at Shen Zhuang again.

Shen Zhuang looked anxious and reminded: "Master Hou, in the past two years, the Ming Dynasty has not issued any treasure banknotes!"

"Ok?"

Guo An's expression condensed, and he quickly lowered his head and looked at the treasure banknote in his hand again.

The more he looked, the gloomier his face became.

He didn't expect that there was such a treasure?
However, if you think about it, it is natural.

"Where did you get these treasure notes?"

A hint of joy flashed in Shen Zhuang's eyes. The Marquis could indeed see the dangers of such treasure money.

However, the expression on his face did not change at all.

"Reporting to the Marquis, the common people have also received these treasure notes one after another in the past few months.

At first, the grassroots didn't notice it.

But as more and more of these treasure banknotes came into their hands, ordinary people discovered the strangeness of these treasure banknotes! "
