Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 67
After the meal, the whole group saluted each other and bid farewell happily.

Guo An and Zong Zhi both staggered away with the support of their respective guards.

On the side, Wang Zhen swaggered towards his home.

As for Han Zhiren and Shi Dazhen, they could only support each other as they wandered towards the Chenghuang Temple in Beiping Prefecture.

The two of them took office in a hurry, they didn't have a mansion in Beiping Mansion, and the Wanping County Government didn't find them a good house, so the Town God's Temple was the best place for them to stay overnight.

After the pedestrians around began to thin out, Shi Dazhen raised his head and looked around, the blurred look in his eyes gradually dissipated, he leaned to Han Zhiren's side, and said with a distressed face: "Brother Han, I didn't expect Guo Zhixian to be so trusted by King Yan. ? Didn’t the two of us just leave the wolf’s den and enter the tiger’s den?”

Han Zhiren smiled bitterly, "Yeah, the old man was still wondering, why is there no one in Wanping County to be an official?

Unexpectedly, this place is like a burning pit for me and the second officer! "

Shi Dazhen thought deeply, "How should the two of us deal with each other?"

"Hey, His Majesty failed to punish the county magistrate Guo during the two impeachments. Among the more than 1000 county magistrates in the entire Ming Dynasty, who can have such great favor?"

Hearing this, Shi Dazhen's eyes widened suddenly, and he was a little incredulous, "Han County Chancellor?"

As he spoke, he quietly raised a finger and pointed to the sky.

Han Zhiren hurriedly shook his face in fear, and said: "Don't say too much, this is just my wild guess. However, as long as that one does not lose the favor of His Highness King Yan for a day, the two of us can only be honest. Really Fuzhe, respect this one!"

"Oh, life is hard..."

"Who says it's not? I have been suppressed by those aristocratic families for so many years, and finally waited for this opportunity to turn around. As a result, the two of us dare not even think about it..."

"However, this person is not such a domineering and ruthless person, maybe he won't lose us both!"

"I hope so!"

"Ugh……"

Under the night, the two figures became more and more curved.

……

The next day.

Early in the morning, Guo An rarely went to Shangzhuangcun Iron Mine.

Instead, after going to the morning office, and the new county magistrate, Bo, handed over to the six-room scribe, and then hurried out to the Palace of King Yan.

He believed that the barbecue last night would surely make the two new Zuo Er officials more honest, at least they would not oppose him, Wanping County.

As for whether there will be some small tricks in the dark?

Tsk, the impeachment came before Lao Zhu twice, but he didn't get rid of him as the county magistrate. These two assistant officials should not be so stupid!

As Guo An took Dian Shi Wang Zhen out, the entire county government office fell into a strange atmosphere.

"Ning De, the scribe of the petty household, has met Guo Xiancheng and the benefactor Bo!"

"Feng Fuchun, the villain's clerk, has met the two Shangguan Guo Xiancheng and the benefactor Bo!"

"Qi Nong, the scribe of the little man-made house, has seen...!"

Ning Deyou, Feng Fuchun, Qi Nong... and the six clerks, as well as Yu Huowang and the three yamen servants, all stood in front of the county magistrate Han Zhiren and Shi Dazhen, with humble expressions on their faces, ready to welcome the two A new assistant second official gave them a prestige.

However, what Ning Deyou, Feng Fuchun and others didn't expect was that facing the humility of their three classes and six houses, the two new county magistrates and master Boss were also humble!
"You are polite, I have received His Majesty's grace, and I am an official of Wanping County like you. I should fulfill my duties and serve the public wholeheartedly!"

"Everyone, please sit down. Since Mr. Guo asked us to familiarize you with various affairs in Wanping County, I will need to trouble you all in the days to come!"

"You two superiors are being polite!..."

In the county office, the atmosphere is more harmonious than Guo An imagined.

……

Yan Palace.

Zhu Di frowned tightly, and after carefully reading the imperial decree in his hand, he picked up the letter that Zhu Biao had given him, his face full of sorrow.

Immediately, some unbelievers put down the letter and picked up the imperial decree again...

Unfortunately, no matter how many times he checked it, the content above still required him to prepare the armor and weapons needed by a [-]-strong army, without any change.

"Why is this so? How could the emperor make such an imperial edict?"

"Your Highness has only been in Beiping for less than five years, and the accumulated wealth may not even be able to equip [-] soldiers and horses. How can you provide [-] troops?"

Below, Zhu Fu also said helplessly.

"Your Highness, is it possible that there are treacherous evils advancing under His Majesty to slander and slander?"

"Humph!"

Hearing this, Zhu Di immediately gritted his teeth, stared furiously, and said in a cold voice: "Brother wrote, the inspector censor and some thieves in the court repeatedly impeached the father and the magistrate of Wanping County all day Instead of doing business, he didn't think about governing Beiping Mansion. Instead, he opened a barbecue shop and competed with the people for profit.

Or, it's just drilling in the iron mine, neglecting their duties..."

Hearing this, Zhu Fu's eyes flashed, and he said thoughtfully: "So, on top of this, is it because His Highness was implicated by that Guo Zhixian?"

Zhu Di was startled, and looked at Zhu Fu strangely, "How could Zhu Changshi think that this king was implicated by the thief officer Guo An, not Guo An?"

"Your Highness, calm down!"

Zhu Fu's face paled, and he clasped his hands quickly and explained: "Your Highness is the King of Yan, how could there be a mistake? In this matter, it must be that the magistrate of Wanping County wanted to attach himself to His Highness, and was discovered by the patrolling censor, so he was impeached. Before His Majesty.

As for the impeachment of Guo An and His Highness by other officials, it was Guo An who did not abide by the way of being a minister, and even dared to get close to a feudal prince like His Highness privately, and was looked down upon by those officials, so he impeached him.

In this way, in order to warn His Highness, His Majesty asked His Highness to take out [-] soldiers, so as to make His Highness retreat in the face of difficulties! "

"Ha ha……"

Zhu Di chuckled, and now he understands, "The co-author is because the king is close to Guo An, and violated the taboo of some officials, so he impeached the king and Guo An like this?
Even, it also attracted the punishment of the father? "

Zhu Fu hurriedly cupped his hands and saluted, "Your Highness is wise!"

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Fu coldly, "Does that violate Zhu Changshi's taboo?"

Zhu Fu's face turned pale, and he quickly knelt down, "Your Highness, forgive me, I have no other intentions."

Zhu Di asked again: "Oh? Really?"

There was no expression in the words, but it made Zhu Fu's heart sink again, and he explained quickly.

"Your Highness has learned that this minister is already the chief historian of the palace, no matter how much Guo An is favored by His Highness, it will not affect this minister.

I just... just feel that His Highness is a vassal king, and Guo An, as a court official, has too close acquaintance with His Highness, will outsiders think that His Highness is colluding with local officials, which will attract some people's displeasure , and then implicated His Highness..."

"To shut up!"

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Fu with a cold look on his face, and said angrily, "Are you a traitor trying to provoke the friendship between my brothers?"
