Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Da Da Da~
"drive!"

"drive……"

Suddenly, the people in the carriage heard something, stuck their heads out of the window, and looked behind.

I saw a group of cavalry, covered in dust, chasing after them from behind.

Then, without even looking at them, he passed them.

The gentry couldn't help but wonder: "Where are these soldiers and generals?"

The young man in the car had good eyes. He looked at the soldiers in the distance with flickering eyes. He thought for a long time and said with some uncertainty.

"Dad, I see that the armors worn by these soldiers are similar to those of the soldiers in Mrs. Guo's house!"

The squire was stunned, "Shunde Guard?"

"Ok!"

The young man nodded slowly.

The squire quickly shouted outside: "Butler, speed up and go to Guocun!"

"Yes, sir!"

The speed of the convoy suddenly increased.

In the city, the young man looked at the squire with some confusion, "Dad, something happened in Guo Village?"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

The squire was startled and quickly scolded the young man, and then said: "These Shunde guards are dusty and dusty, they should be from the capital!"

The young man's eyes lit up, "His Royal Highness..."

"Ok!"

The squire nodded slightly!

……

And that team of Shunde guards was sent by Guo An to report the news!

His eldest son is going to marry the princess!
After they left the capital, they didn't dare to stay for a moment and went straight to Xingtai County.

As soon as they arrived in front of the Guo family's mansion, a group of Shunde guards came directly to greet them.

"who?"

"Yu Laosi, it's me!"

The leading captain jumped off the horse and shouted with joy on his face.

Hearing the sound, Yu Laosi took a closer look and his face was full of excitement.

"Brother Liu?"

Liu Cheng said: "Isn't it us?"

Yu Laosi glanced back again and couldn't help but ask: "Brother Liu didn't stay in the capital, so why did he suddenly come to Xingtai County? But what is your highness..."

Saying that, just shut up!
"I said too much!"

Liu Cheng didn't say too much, but said directly: "It's a great event!
My brothers and I are here to deliver a message to the old master under the orders of His Highness!

I didn't dare to rest much along the way, so I asked Brother Yu to give the brothers a bowl of hot water and some steamed buns to eat! "

"Brother Liu is slapping my brother in the face. They are all brothers. They come all the way from the capital. How can they just get hot water and steamed buns?"

Yu Laosi pretended to be displeased and said something, then shouted to the soldiers beside him.

"These are brothers from His Highness the Prince of the Capital. Take them to eat something good!"

Then, he looked at Liu Cheng again.

"I'll take Brother Liu in to meet the old man!"

"it is good!"

Liu Cheng was not polite and walked in behind Yu Laosi.

After bypassing two doors and walking for a while, I came to a garden pond, which was somewhat similar to the layout of the Imperial Palace in the capital.

There is also a house built on the west side of the garden pond. On the east wall of the house, only a few pillars are left, and the rest are made of transparent glass.

Through the glass, you can see an old man lying on a deck chair, basking in the sun inside the house.

There was also a thin blanket wrapped around him.

Beside the left hand, there is a small square table with a cup of hot tea on it.

It’s exactly the same as His Highness the County Prince’s habits!
Liu Cheng thought subconsciously, and Yu Laosi beside him had already shouted loudly.

"Old Master, Old Master...His Royal Highness the County Prince has sent someone to deliver a message! Old Master..."

"Old man..."

He shouted all the way in.

When Liu Cheng and Yu Laosi walked in front of Mr. Guo, Mr. Guo opened his eyes slightly.

"Yu Laosi, you are in such a hurry, but what happened?"

With that said, Mrs. Guo finally noticed Liu Cheng beside him and asked with some confusion.

"This doesn't seem to be the Shunde Guard of our Guojia Village, right?"

"Liu Cheng, the last general, has met the old man!"

Liu Cheng quickly clasped his fists and saluted, and then explained: "The last general is also a Shunde guard and has been in the capital.

This time when I came to Xingtai County, His Royal Highness asked the general to announce the good news to the old man! "

"Announcement?"

A trace of joy flashed in Mr. Guo's eyes, and then he asked directly: "Ning Yi sent you here? What happy event is it?"

"Go back to the old man, His Royal Highness is going to marry Princess Xianning!"

With that said, Liu Cheng took out a letter from his arms.

"Mr. Guo, please read this, this is the letter sent to you by His Highness the County Prince!"

"Is our eldest grandson going to get a wife? Or the Princess of Xianning?"

Mr. Guo looked at Liu Cheng with excitement. At the same time, he subconsciously took the letter, shook his hands, opened it and read it.

Liu Cheng said again: "Back to the old man, His Royal Highness the County Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have entered the palace and asked for the wedding date from Your Majesty!"

After a while, Mrs. Guo read the letter with excitement on his face.

"Okay, okay! Our eldest grandson is also going to get a wife, and she will marry the direct princess of the Ming Dynasty! Hahaha, okay, now we won't be afraid even if we go underground and see our ancestors..."

Yu Laosi also congratulated with joy on his face: "Congratulations to the old man, congratulations to the old man..."

Old Mrs. Guo looked at Liu Cheng again, "Did Ning Yi send someone to inform the Liu family about this?"

Liu Cheng hurriedly said: "Go back to the old lady, His Highness the Duke sent his general to deliver the message.

However, I will deliver it to the old man first, and then I will deliver it to the Liu family later! "

"Ok!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Guo nodded slightly.

"You have come all the way from the capital, so you must be tired. Go down and rest for the night first, and let Yu Laosi go with you to see him off tomorrow!"

Liu Cheng clasped his fists and saluted again, "I would like to ask the old man to forgive me. I will come here to deliver the letter. I don't dare to delay for a moment. I also ask the old man to allow me to send the letter to the Liu family immediately!"

"You soldier..."

Old Mrs. Guo frowned slightly, but after seeing Liu Cheng's determined expression, he sighed slightly.

"Okay, you young people are in good health! Yu Laosi, take him down to drink a sip of hot water and eat something! Then, go to Liu's house to deliver the letter!"

Liu Cheng quickly thanked, "Thank you, old man!"

Yu Laosi also responded hurriedly: "Yes, old master!"

Immediately, the two people retreated.

Mr. Guo, on the other hand, read the letter in his hand again and walked towards the ancestral hall!

"Blessed by our ancestors, my grandson, Guo, will also marry a daughter-in-law, and she will be the direct princess of the Ming Dynasty!"

……

On the other side.

Liu Cheng just drank a bowl of hot water with Yu Laosi and ate half a chicken. Then he led his troops, mounted the horses prepared by Yu Laosi, and ran out of Guojiacun.

Coincidentally, at the entrance of the village, I saw the group of carriages again.

The squires on the carriage also happened to see Liu Cheng, Yu Laosi and others going out.

"Why are they so anxious? Is there something urgent?"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"Let's go, I'll go see the old man later!" "Let's go..."

When everyone walked into the Guo Mansion, they heard all the servants in the Guo Mansion talking excitedly.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really wants to marry His Highness the Princess?"

"What about the ancestors that the old man personally told in the ancestral hall? Can this be false?"

"That's right, the old man even ran to the backyard and told the old lady. Not to mention how happy the old lady was..."

"This is really a great event for our Guo family!"

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to marry a princess, and my Guo family is also..."

"Guanshi Guo, is this...?"

A squire suddenly asked the steward who led them in with a surprised look on his face.

"Absolutely true!"

Guanshi Guo nodded with pride. His Royal Highness, the eldest son of his family, was actually able to marry his Majesty's current princess. This shows His Majesty's deep love for their country!

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

"Congratulations……"

All the squires quickly held their hands in congratulations.

Immediately, a squire thought of something and said regretfully: "Manager Guo, please forgive me. When I came here this time, I didn't know about this and didn't prepare any gifts. I'm really rude!"

Another squire immediately said to the young man beside him: "Lao Wu, go home quickly and ask your mother to choose the most auspicious gift for us and deliver it to us quickly!"

"Yes, Dad!"

The young man responded and ran out quickly.

"You guys go too!"

The remaining squires also shouted hurriedly.

"Yes, dad..."

Those teenagers were not stupid either and ran out in a hurry.

"Ugh!"

Seeing this, Manager Guo couldn't help being surprised and said quickly: "You all should know the old lady's temperament. He never likes to receive gifts. It's better not to do this!"

"No, no!"

Several squires quickly said: "Guanshi Guo's words are wrong. Today is different from the past.

Moreover, we all know the old man’s temperament.

You can rest assured that the items we are sending are all practical and auspicious items. The old lady will definitely like them when she sees them! "

"That's right, Manager Guo, today is no better than before. A huge happy event has happened to the Guo family, and I must congratulate..."

Manager Guo thought for a while and nodded slightly.

Immediately, he led a group of squires in to pay homage to the old man and congratulate him.

The old man rarely had a long chat with these squires.

After the congratulatory gifts were delivered, the old man of the Guo family accepted them with joy on his face.

at the same time.

Liu Cheng also sent the letter to the Liu family, and the Liu family was very happy.

It takes less than a day.

The entire Xingtai County knew about the great news that the Prince of Shunde County was going to marry Princess Daming.

For several days, there was an endless stream of people going to the Guo family's old house to congratulate him.

This caused the old man of the Guo family and others, who were originally planning to go to the capital in a few days, to go directly to the capital in advance.

The same is true for the Liu family, Liu Weiyuan and others.

Despite this, they would still be visited and entertained by local officials and gentry along the way.

And this time.

In the capital.

After half a month of selection and review, the candidates for compiling the canon were initially selected.

Follow closely.

In the newspaper, the list of those people was also directly announced, and even their place of origin.

The entire capital, and even the entire Ming Dynasty, began to boil.

Your Majesty actually selected more than 3,500 people to compile the canon. How grand is that canon?

Moreover, how honored are they to be these more than 3,500 people?

It can be said that the name is directly passed down to the Ming Dynasty!
There is an endless stream of visitors who come to congratulate me.

Of course, there are countless people who secretly refuse to accept the curse!

After all, men of letters love each other!
Especially now, when it comes to their own interests and glory, the literati are fighting endlessly.

then.

Some impeachment report letters were like snowflakes, floating into the capital one after another.

"Teacher, you don't know, there are hundreds of impeachment reporting letters sent in every day!"

Zhu Gaochi complained to Guo An with a distressed face, "Every day, we can't finish reading just these reporting letters."

"so much?"

Guo An was also stunned and asked quickly: "His Highness did not record it in the newspaper. Is there any reward after reporting it?"

Zhu Gaochi said: "Teacher, don't worry, I didn't do anything stupid!"

Guo An thought thoughtfully, "So, are those people disdainful of the officials, gentry, and those with fame who compiled the canons?"

"Ok!"

Zhu Gaochi nodded slowly, "Teacher, I suspect that those people were influenced by what happened before when they investigated and dealt with corrupt officials and evil gentry. Reports were rewarded and self-examination was punished lightly!"

"Your Highness is absolutely right!"

Guo An nodded slightly.

Zhu Gaochi asked: "Teacher, is there any good way to find out the bad ones among the editors?"

Guo An frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "Your Highness, there are more than 3,500 people. If we investigate them one by one, I don't know how long it will take to investigate them.

Otherwise, His Highness should find someone to sort the letters into categories, and then hand them over to professionals for them to read.

Which ones are really problematic and which ones are fabricated out of thin air? Then hand these letters to the corresponding people and let them defend themselves.

If they can give a reasonable explanation and send someone to inquire at will, that's all.

If they can't give any explanation and there are still major suspicions, tell them clearly that they can either leave on their own or send someone to investigate.

Once the investigation is clear, he will be punished for the crime of deceiving the emperor..."

"Teacher is kind!"

Zhu Gaochi nodded slightly, "Teacher, who do you want to see?"

"Jinyiwei! Or a merchant, or Monk Daoyan!"

Guo Andao said, "Three parties will cross-review and there won't be any big mistakes!"

Zhu Gaochi's expression was a little strange, "Teacher, Jinyiwei and merchants are okay, but Master Daoyan? This..."

Guo An looked confident, "Your Highness, don't worry. Monk Dao Yan has been walking around the world in his early years and has seen all kinds of things in the world. He sees these dirty things more clearly than anyone else!"

In addition, Monk Daoyan is also the supervisor of the compilation of the Dadian, so it is justifiable to entrust these matters to him! "

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi nodded slowly and said nothing more.

……

"Your Highness, do you want Wei Chen and Jin Yiwei to review the letters of impeachment?"

Monk Dao Yan looked at Zhu Gaochi in surprise.

"Ok!"

Zhu Gaochi nodded slightly, "In his early years, the Master observed all kinds of things in the world, and he also served as a supervisor. It is only natural that he should review those letters of accusation and impeachment!"

"Amitabha!"

A trace of sadness flashed across Monk Daoyan's face, and then he asked: "May I ask, Your Highness, who mentioned this matter?"

Zhu Gaochi said quietly: "Prince Shunde!"

"Amitabha!"

Monk Daoyan sighed helplessly!
I don’t know if His Highness the Prince of Shunde County wants to make him a famous Daoyan, or if he doesn’t like his Daoyan and wants to see him free!
