Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

If you want a large island that is spacious and clean, with no one around or with few barbarians around the Ming Dynasty, or a large island with many foreign countries, you can find any place that can be used as the fiefdom of Duke Dingguo.

So, Guo An chose this big island that even dogs despised because he didn't want to compete with others, not with those vassal kings or the powerful people of the Ming Dynasty!

Thinking about it, Zhu Di couldn't help but persuade again: "If you choose that big island, you will be really in trouble!"

Guo An still had a firm look on his face, "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have already made up my mind and want that big island.

That big island is huge, and there must be many rich products on it, even a lot of minerals.

After Wei Chen moved the food households there and established a foothold on the big island, he named the big island Guodao! "

"For such a big island, Wei Chen first took advantage of the vassal kings and dignitaries to compete for the territory of the sea trade route. He didn't like this place and occupied it first.

In the future, when Weichen gets old, or when Weichen's descendants grow up, Weichen should have already built this place.

At that time, if they want to stay in Ming Dynasty and enjoy the prosperous life of Ming Dynasty, or go to Guodao first, and study freely or build Guodao, they can follow them..."

Zhu Di stared at Guo An for a long time and sighed helplessly.

"Since Guo Qing has made up his mind and has chosen Guo Dao, I will grant Guo Dao to the Guo family as the place where the Guo family can live.

I will grant you the title of descendant of the Guo family and keep Guo Dao forever. No one can take Guo Dao away from the Guo family without any reason...

In addition, if Guo Dao were all those exiled criminals, it would be difficult for you to manage it. We can give you another three thousand military households on Guo Dao to protect Guo Dao!

Lest the exiled criminals be dishonest and unite with the pirates to harm Guo Dao. "

Guo An was overjoyed and said with gratitude on his face: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Di couldn't help but sigh again, "Oh, you don't know whether your temper is good or bad."

Guo An smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, I believe that contentment will last forever."

"However, if Wei Chen can't get used to living in poverty, he may have to stay in Ming Dynasty until he is old!"

"Yes, outside of the Ming Dynasty, it is a barbarian land after all!"

Zhu Di then sighed with emotion and said with some worry: "So up to now, there are not many vassal kings who personally lead troops to attack barbarian countries like Lao San."

Guo An smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, I think this is a good thing!"

"Oh?"

Zhu Di looked at Guo An curiously.

Guo An explained, "Your Majesty, there is a difference between people who are close and distant. People who trust your Majesty closely will follow what your Majesty says, so they will be the first to benefit.

As for those dignitaries or vassal kings who do not believe in His Majesty, by the time they react, those good places overseas have been completely occupied by people who trust His Majesty, and nothing will be delayed.

In this way, Your Majesty doesn’t feel bad, and the dignitaries who are close to His Majesty don’t feel bad either…”

"What Guo Qing says is always so reasonable!"

Zhu Di suddenly felt very comfortable and smiled.

"In a few days, the imperial edict will be sent to you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Guo An thanked him again and prepared to leave.

However, before Guo An could bring it up, Zhu Gaochi frowned and walked in from outside the hall.

"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"I've met the teacher!"

Seeing Guo An, a strange color flashed in Zhu Gaochi's eyes.

Then, he greeted Zhu Di.

"My son, please see your father!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly and asked curiously: "What makes the prince behave like this?"

Zhu Gaochi glanced at Guo An on the side, sighed slightly, and said helplessly, "Reporting to my father, I have an impeachment memorial here, and I need my father to make up his mind!"

"Bring it up?"

Zhu Di said.

"Yes, Father!"

Zhu Gaochi responded and handed the memorial to Yi Shiha who was standing aside.

Immediately, Yi Shiha hurriedly presented the memorial to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di took a look, and his face suddenly darkened.

"Humph, he still has the nerve to write these memorials?"

Below, Guo An said goodbye to Zhu Di with a wink, "Your Majesty, if there is nothing to do with Wei Chen, Wei Chen will leave first!"

Hearing this, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but glance at Guo An strangely.

The corners of Zhu Di's lips curled up slightly, "It's really your business!"

"What about me?"

Guo An was stunned.

"Ok!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, and then handed the memorial in his hand to Yi Shiha who was standing aside. "Look at this memorial!"

Yi Shiha took down the memorial again and handed it to Guo An.

With a look of curiosity, Guo An opened the memorial and read it.

At one glance, his eyes widened and he almost fainted.

"Your Majesty, this traitorous officer is absolutely slandering him. This traitorous officer is really making trouble out of nothing. Even the ministers want to personally lead people to set a fire outside his bedroom in the middle of the night..."

Zhu Di's face darkened, "How dignified is it that the dignified Duke Ding led people to set fire to death a second-rank official of the Ming Dynasty in the middle of the night?"

Guo An smiled coquettishly and said, "Your Majesty, I forgive you. I am just talking, but I would never do such a thing that harms people's lives!"

"It's just that Your Majesty, this traitorous official not only disgusts Wei Chen to the extreme, but also clings to Wei Chen. This forces Wei Chen to fight back against him!"

"Fight back?"

Zhu Di looked curious again, "How is Guo Qing going to fight back?"

"I have completely exposed this thief official's background... Your Majesty, even the humble ministers will file a complaint!"

As he spoke, Guo An took out a ledger from his pocket and said, "Your Majesty, I sent someone to check out the situation in Chen Ying's hometown a while ago, and unexpectedly found out the official's daily routine. Please ask Your Majesty to take a look at some of the corruption and bribery cases!"

"Oh?"

Zhu Di's eyes flashed and he said, "Bring it up!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

He also lost his temper and walked quickly, took the account book from Guo An and presented it to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di opened it directly.

Below, Guo An added: "I originally presented this to Your Majesty today, but seeing that His Majesty was in a good mood, I refrained from spoiling His Majesty's mood.

Wei Chen did not expect that this traitorous official would dare to write a memorial first, slandering Wei Chen... Your Majesty, Wei Chen was very loyal to Your Majesty. During the conquest of Annan, he forced the Annan dignitaries to give money to the soldiers and generals. The purpose of Wei Chen is to prevent those soldiers and generals from looting after breaking the city...

Otherwise, how could those Annan dignitaries willingly join the Ming Dynasty?

Moreover, the ministers all distributed money to the soldiers and generals in the name of His Majesty. "

"Your Majesty, I am really angry. Why did I provoke Chen Ying, a thief official? It is clear that Cao Guogong Li Jinglong is the general in this expedition to Annan. Even if he is suspected of buying the military's morale, Cao Guogong should be the biggest...

Your Majesty clearly knows that Wei Chen is just complaining... Cao Guogong is also loyal to Your Majesty, Wei Chen is angry, why is this thief official like a dog skin plaster, clinging to Wei Chen like this? "

You spat in front of so many people, and even kicked the person twice in a row, and you didn't even get the attention of the person?

Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths.

However, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi had no doubts about Guo An's loyalty.

Even if they suspected that Li Jinglong had different intentions, they would not doubt Guo An.

In particular, Guo An had just generously chosen Guozhou to be his food tenant with the exiled criminals.

Now that Zhu Di still feels that Guo An has suffered a big loss...he is willing to compensate Guo An for anything.

"Guo Qing, rest assured, I know your loyalty!"

Guo An then followed up and said: "Your Majesty, what about Wei Chen's account book?"

Zhu Di's eyes flashed coldly, "In the past few days, the Jin Yiwei has also found out some things. I will ask the Jin Yiwei to conduct a detailed investigation according to the things in this account book and directly convict this thief!"

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

Hearing this, Guo An felt relieved.

As long as Zhu Di also has the idea of ​​​​taking down that thief Chen Ying, with this evidence, Chen Ying will definitely not be able to stand still for a few days.

Afterwards, Guo An said goodbye and left.

In the hall, Zhu Gaochi asked curiously: "Father, is Chen Ying really guilty of a serious crime?"

"naturally!"

Zhu Di nodded heavily, "It is in vain that we trust this thief so much, but this thief usually accepts bribes and suppresses dissidents. It is really shocking!"

"Then he is still so upright and upright all day long?"

Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment, his face full of anger.

Zhu Di snorted coldly, "You're not just pretending to show me!"

Zhu Gaochi smiled and changed the topic.

"Dad, I wonder which restaurant the teacher has chosen?"

"Guo Qing chose those exiled criminals as food households..."

Zhu Di explained in detail the fiefdom chosen by Guo An.

After listening, Zhu Gaochi looked strange and said with some worry: "Dad, that Guo Island is so big. According to the teacher's past talents, there must be many rich minerals on Guo Island!"

"It doesn't matter!"

Zhu Di waved his hand magnanimously, "Which of those barbarian lands overseas doesn't have minerals?"
