Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

When Guo An went down, Liu Baiwei sent someone to find Guo Han.

"Mom, what do you want from your daughter?"

"In a few days, my mother will take Shen'er into the palace to meet the Queen. By then, the Xianning Princess may be in the Queen's Palace.

On that day, you will enter the palace with me, and you must find opportunities to talk to Princess Xianning more and build a good relationship! "

Guo Han was stunned and subconsciously opened his eyes, "So, the second brother is already going to meet the mother-in-law?"

Liu Baiwei's eyes flashed with joy, but she still kept her mouth firm and scolded: "Mother-in-law, the marriage has not been decided yet, don't talk nonsense!"

"Yes, mother!"

Guo Han curled his lips and responded obediently.

"My daughter will definitely have a good relationship with the Xianning princess and will not let her second brother's wife be lost!"

"Ok!"

Liu Baiwei nodded with satisfaction and continued: "In addition, although your father is relatively loose on your marriage, you are free to choose your marriage.

However, if the husband you choose is not too outstanding and your father and I do not approve of it, then you will still be out of your control.

When Shen'er entered the palace to meet the Queen, there must have been not only Princess Xianning, but also other princesses or eldest princesses.

You should make more good relations with them, they will definitely know a lot of powerful people.

Let them introduce some to you..."

"Mother~"

Guo Han's face turned red with embarrassment, "My daughter has her own opinion on this matter."

"What are you so shy about when it comes to marriage?"

Liu Baiwei looked unhappy, "Mom, it was because of your temper that you gradually turned into a big girl.

Fortunately, I met your father. Otherwise, what kind of life would your mother be living now? "

"Then my daughter is also a student..."

"nonsense!"

Liu Baiwei glared at Guo Han angrily, "How many good people do you think there are in the world like your father?
As the eldest daughter of the Shunde County Prince and the county head, you have a noble status and are bound to be watched by many powerful people.

If you don't search carefully, as long as your father nods, all the powerful people in the Ming Dynasty will definitely lead their legitimate sons through the door of our house! "

"..."

Guo Han was shocked and said with a stubborn face, "Don't worry, mother, my daughter will never let you off the hook!"

"As long as you know what's going on!"

Liu Baiwei didn't say much more. Her son had a right idea since he was a child. Although her daughter was not very eye-catching, she had a correct idea.

……

And on the other side.

royal palace.

After Guo An left, Zhu Di frowned and thought for a moment, and then called Yi Shiha, asking him to draft an order and send someone to Prince Yan's Mansion in Peking.

At the same time, Zhu Di also made a special explanation.

After hearing this, the eunuch looked solemn and did not dare to delay for a moment. He directly led a team of people and ran to the north.

……

Two days later.

Prince Guo An of Shunde County brought his concubine Liu Baiwei and his children Guo Shen and Guo Han to the palace to meet His Majesty and the Queen.

As Guo An's family entered the palace, Zhu Di also brought the crown prince, grandson, Princess Xianning, and a group of princesses in Beijing to the harem and carefully looked at Guo Shen with the queen.

Fortunately, we have all grown up watching each other.

Guo Shen, Guo Han and others were not too nervous.

Zhu Di and Empress Xu also asked Guo Shen about his studies with gentle faces. They also asked Guo Han if he had any favorite husband, which made Guo Han blush with embarrassment.

After that, there is a banquet.

It was not until evening that Guo An and his family came out of the palace.

On the carriage, Liu Baiwei looked excited.

"Your Highness, I look at Princess Xianning and she seems to be very satisfied with Shen'er!"

"Ok!"

Guo An nodded slightly, and then said with a look of disgust on his face: "This kid Shen'er almost got his eyes on that Princess Xianning!"

On the side, Guo Shen, who had always been calm and calm, was blushing.

"It's worthless!"

Guo An couldn't help but glare.

Guo Shen was dissatisfied and said, "Dad, my fair lady, a gentleman likes to fight..."

"cut!"

Guo An waved his hand disdainfully, "No need to explain to me, as long as your kid can take care of the house after getting married!"

Guo Shen said with a serious look on his face: "Dad is in his prime, my child won't have to worry about this for the next thirty or forty years!"

Guo An: "..."

Yes, if you don’t learn from the good ones, you will learn from the bad ones!

……

Guo An's family is enjoying themselves.

But the entire capital was boiling again.

Your Majesty actually wants to betroth Princess Xianning to Guo Shen, the prince of Shunde County!
"I didn't expect that Your Majesty would be so fond of the Prince of Shunde?"

"You have already been granted the title of king with a different surname, but you are actually betrothed to a princess, a legitimate princess!"

"As a result, the Shunde County Prince's Palace will become even more powerful!"

"Too powerful?"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"According to the character of the Prince of Shunde and the crown prince, I'm afraid even if another princess is sent to the Prince of Shunde, the Prince of Shunde will not have much power, right?"

"Uh...hahaha..."

"Having said that, the wealth of the Prince of Shunde County can last at least another hundred years!"

"In this case, we are also waiting to change our strategy!"

"Befriend the Prince of Shunde?"

"Heroes think alike!"

"I heard that the prince's second son has not yet settled on a wife!"

"The eldest daughter of that county prince hasn't been betrothed yet?"

"Very good……"

……

Beiping, Prince Yan's Mansion.

King Yan Zhu Gaoxu sat in the main hall with a gloomy look.

"Are you sure that those Jinyi guards have the intention to investigate my Prince Yan's Mansion?"

Below, a captain reported with a solemn face.

“Your Highness, that is indeed the case.

By the time Jiang received the news, five of the dozen or so gentry from Jiangxi and Fujian had been arrested! "

Zhu Gaoxu's eyes narrowed, "Then the Jin Yiwei didn't arrest any southern gentry?"

The captain shook his head and replied, "No!"

Zhu Gaoxu said angrily, "What crime did those dozen gentry in Jiangxi and Fujian commit? Those royal guards actually dared to arrest people randomly? What does Wang Zhen want to do?"

The school captain reported back: "Your Highness, please forgive me. I have found out that the crime behind the arrest of Jin Yiwei seems to be that these gentry colluded with local merchants, oppressed and harmed the people, and even sold private salt!"

"Oppressing and harming the people, selling private goods?"

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, and then asked directly: "Do you know whether these people have done such a thing?"

The captain said: "Your Highness, please calm down. I have already asked these gentry, and they have indeed done this!"

"These bastards!"

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help being furious.

Then, he continued to ask: "Did Jin Yiwei send someone to Peking?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, no!"

"That's good!"

Zhu Gaoxu breathed a sigh of relief temporarily, "Tell those gentry not to have too much contact with the people of the house for a while!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The captain responded quickly.

Then, after hesitating for a long time, the captain reported in a low voice again: "Your Majesty, those southern gentry also secretly reported that after those gentry were captured by the Jin Yiwei, less than a day later, the Jin Yiwei sent a team of people to go Capital!"

"what?"

Zhu Gaoxu was immediately shocked. He stared at the captain and asked, "Do you know if that team of royal guards is back?" "Back!"

The captain nodded again, "Your Highness, that team of royal guards returned three days ago!"

Zhu Gaoxu asked hurriedly: "Is there any movement among the Jin Yiwei?"

The captain shook his head slowly, "Back to Your Highness, the Jin Yiwei seems to have done nothing except investigating those gentry!"

"That's good!"

Zhu Gaoxu sat down slowly.

The captain did not dare to say anything.

After a while, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly raised his head and asked in a deep voice: "Have those families gone back now?"

The school captain replied: "Go back to Your Highness, the royal guards have detained them all!"

"Detained?"

Zhu Gaoxu's voice suddenly rose, "Can you ask, what are those royal guards detaining those families for?"

The captain replied hurriedly: "I don't know what will happen to me!"

"waste!"

Zhu Gaoxu was furious, "Those Jin Yiwei are mainly investigating a group of corrupt officials and evil gentry in the north.

Now, just a few southern gentry passing by, bullying the people, and selling private salt, can they be so troubled to investigate? "

"Those families are a bunch of trash, they must have let Wang Zhen smell something!

I know that these gentry have all day long whims and are not reliable at all! "

"Your Highness, what should the general do?"

The captain replied hurriedly.

Zhu Gaoxu said hurriedly: "Quickly clean up all traces of those families in my Beiping mansion!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The captain responded quickly and quickly retreated.

"According to the noses of those Jin Yiwei, my father must know something!"

When only Zhu Gaoxu was left in the hall, the look on Zhu Gaoxu's face suddenly became panicked.

"Those gentry deserve to be damned. They dared to deceive me and wanted to do business with me and open a north-south trade line.

The result was that he used my name as the king to bully the people and resell private money..."

"You're still lying to me. Beiping is the origin of the dragon. Brother Huang is fat. I, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, can..."

“Damn, what a bunch of traitors, they were caught by Jin Yiwei in just a few months!
According to my father's temperament, he will definitely be furious and will definitely investigate thoroughly. "

"As for the Yanshan Guards of Beiping Mansion, as well as a group of officials and gentry, they are all former ministers of my father. Every move of this king..."

The more he talked, the more frightened Zhu Gaoxu became.

He kept himself locked in the main hall for a day, which shocked everyone in the house.

"Your Highness!"

The manager of Prince Yan's Mansion hurriedly came outside the palace and shouted urgently.

As soon as he shouted, an angry curse came from the palace, "Get out! Didn't I say that no one is allowed to disturb me!"

Outside the palace, the chief steward shuddered subconsciously, but he still managed to shout: "Your Majesty, your Majesty has an order!"

"what?"

In the hall, Zhu Gaoxu's eyes widened instantly, and his whole body trembled subconsciously.

"Come in and report!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Looking at the general manager who came in through the door, Zhu Gaoxu asked in a deep voice.

"You said my father had an order?"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The chief steward hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty's ministers have arrived at the palace."

"How many people came?"

Zhu Gaoxu asked again.

Only then did the chief realize that something was wrong and hurriedly replied: "Your Highness, there are only three ministers and a team of guards, no more than twenty people!"

Zhu Gaoxu's whole body was relaxed, "Let them in!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The chief steward bowed in salute and withdrew.

Soon, three chamberlains came in holding an edict in their hands.

"This slave has met His Highness King Yan!"

"Your Majesty, King Yan, your Majesty's decree!"

"My son, I accept the order!"

Zhu Gaoxu quickly knelt down to receive the order.

The minister holding the edict in his hand glanced at Zhu Gaoxu with a strange expression, but did not open the edict. Instead, he cleared his throat and imitated Zhu Di's tone.

"You bastard, could it be that we beat you too lightly when you were a child, but now you are so ignorant that you don't know how serious it is?"

Read the edict yourself, and make your own decision after reading it!"

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu was suddenly surprised.

The minister hurriedly bowed his body and said with an apologetic smile: "Your Highness, please forgive me. This is your Majesty's special request."

With that said, he quickly handed the edict to Zhu Gaoxu.

Only then did Zhu Gaoxu come to his senses, took the imperial edict, opened it and read it.

The more he looked, the weirder his expression became.

After reading it, Zhu Gaoxu looked at the three ministers again.

The three ministers seemed to have remembered something and quickly bowed to Zhu Gaoxu.

"Your Highness, please wait outside the palace. If Your Highness has made a decision, please inform your servant!"

After saying that, the three of them retreated outside.

"and many more!"

Before the three of them could exit, Zhu Gaoxu called them to stop.

"How was your father feeling when you came?"

Hearing this, the three chamberlains knelt down directly with fear on their faces.

"Please spare your life, Your Highness!"

"okay!"

Zhu Gaoxu snorted coldly, "It's getting late today. Get up early tomorrow morning. I will follow you to the capital!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Hearing this, the three people's faces relaxed.

That night, Zhu Gaoxu explained all the affairs of Prince Yan's Palace to the Chang Shi, the Palace Manager, and the Princess.

Early the next morning, he took a team of guards and the three chamberlains to the capital.

at the same time.

In Jiangxi, Fujian and other places, some gentry also received news from the north.

"Daping and the others were captured by Jin Yiwei?"

"They act very carefully, how could they be caught?"

"Grandpa, what should we do?"

"Alas, these evil dogs of Jinyiwei are cruel and cruel. No matter what the outcome of this matter is, I will let a few young people in the family go to sea on a boat to avoid them!"

"Grandpa, things aren't that bad yet, right?"

Several middle-aged people looked surprised.

"Ugh!"

The gray-haired old man sighed helplessly, "You people are so audacious that you dare to plot against that person!
Moreover, things were so rough at that time that they even had to use some interests to cover it up.

But haven't you ever thought about it, the one in the capital relies on evidence to reason with you? "

"Last year, I finally escaped, but you still behave like this... Alas!

As long as those Jinyi guards are suspicious, they can take down our whole family based on the evidence you gave us.

After they put us all in jail, why don't we let them get whatever evidence they want? "

"this?"

At this moment, everyone in the room was shocked.

"Grandpa, I'll go make arrangements soon!"

However, as soon as they returned to their respective homes, they discovered something was wrong.

Their home seems to be under surveillance by Jin Yiwei!
