However, it all passed by in a flash, and except for both parties, Guo An did not notice it.
"I, Liu Weiyuan, whose courtesy name is Shuiyuan. I didn't expect to see a great scholar in history writing so many books today. It's really disrespectful..."
As he said that, Liu Weiyuan had already picked up a novel and started reading it.
And that book happened to be "The Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
As for Father Guo, he greeted Luo Ben with a gentle expression.
However, the more Guo An listened, the more he felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the room.
Finally, he couldn't help but asked with some doubts: "Father, father-in-law, have you and Mr. Luo known each other before?"
As soon as these words came out, the three of them looked startled.
On the side, Liu Weiyuan said directly: "If I remember correctly, Mr. Luo was there before, and he was Zhang Shicheng's staff."
"What?"
Guo An's eyes widened and he looked at Luo Guanzhong in disbelief.
Luo Guanzhong gave a wry smile and bowed his hands in a slight salute to Guo An, "Mr. Shuiyuan is right. When I was young, I did serve as a staff member in Zhang Shicheng's mansion, and I even defeated his Majesty's current generals.
It’s just that Zhang Shicheng was not a good master, so I was disheartened and left with all my colleagues..."
"So Mr. Luo actually has such a great talent?"
Guo An said with admiration.
"Um?"
At this time, not only Luo Guanzhong, but even Liu Weiyuan and Guo's father looked shocked.
"Guo Changshi is not afraid of my identity?"
"Mr. Luo is worrying too much."
Guo An smiled slightly, "His Majesty is not that stingy person. Moreover, it has been so many years since the Ming Dynasty was founded, and how many years has it been since Zhang Shicheng died?
It proves that His Majesty has no intention of punishing Mr. Luo, so why should I worry about this? "
"Hahaha, you still understand clearly..."
Luo Guanzhong and Liu Weiyuan burst into laughter.
Later, Liu Weiyuan placed the book in his hand in front of Guo An.
"This book is good, but it cannot be kept in the library without permission."
"I dare to ask my father-in-law, why is this book..."
Guo Angang wanted to ask a question, but suddenly recalled the characters in this book, and his face changed slightly.
Seeing this, Luo Guanzhong's expression couldn't help but change.
Guo An smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Luo, I will definitely not bury such a good book."
"Ning Yi, how do you plan to promote this book?" Liu Weiyuan asked curiously.
Luo Guanzhong also looked at Guo An expectantly, even though in the eyes of some people in later generations, this Huhai Sanren was so great.
However, this is an ordinary old man who is worried about the books he writes.
Guo An said: "We can't read this book, but there are people in Prince Yan's palace who can."
"Um?"
Liu Weiyuan's expression condensed.
"Guo Changshi, His Royal Highness the King of Yan...?"
Luo Guanzhong's eyes narrowed. He was still a little reluctant to face people from the Zhu family.
Guo An said with relief: "Mr. Luo, you are so old, even if you enter Prince Yan's Mansion, His Highness Prince Yan will treat you with courtesy."
After hearing this, Luo Guanzhong looked slightly relaxed.
"Exactly, Mr. Luo, don't worry. Although we can't keep such a good book in our ordinary home, there are enough in the palace..."
"Can you please let us take a look at what book it is that makes you so cautious..."
On the side, Father Guo also looked curious.
However, after he read a few chapters, his expression became serious.
The Book of the King of Pictures!
After putting down the book, Father Guo glanced at Luo Guanzhong with admiration and stopped talking about the book.
Fortunately, these people are all scholars with thousands of books in their hearts, and there are many topics to talk about.
…
The next day.
After Guo An finished tapping, he went directly to Zhu Di, still holding Mr. Luo's Romance of the Three Kingdoms in his hand.
Although he said he didn't mind the old gentleman's identity yesterday, he was not so relaxed in his heart.
Under the shadow of Lao Zhu, Jin Yiwei snooped around. Even though he had determined that Lao Zhu had no intention of embarrassing Luo Guanzhong, he did not dare to be careless in matters involving his wealth and life.
In Cunxin Hall, after listening to Guo An's words, Zhu Di's eyes flashed with surprise.
"Robben Luo Guanzhong?"
Guo An was a little surprised and asked: "Your Highness knows this person?"
Zhu Di nodded slightly, "This person is Zhang Shicheng's counselor, and he once defeated one of his father's generals with a strategy.
However, later this person felt that Zhang Shicheng was not worthy of his great responsibility, so he and a group of counselors under Zhang Shicheng abandoned Zhang Shicheng and left.
Otherwise, it would not be that easy for my father to defeat Zhang Shicheng...
This person's name came from what our father said. "
Guo An's face changed slightly and he quickly asked: "Then what is your Majesty's attitude toward this person?"
Zhu Di said calmly: "Although this man was once Zhang Shicheng's counselor, he left early. Now he is content and safe, and he will be a great Ming people for me."
"Your Majesty is holy."
Guo An casually slapped a rainbow fart and said, "It's a pity that this person followed Zhang Shicheng earlier. Otherwise, according to this person's talent and submission to Your Majesty, he would definitely have made an immortal contribution and become his wife. son."
Zhu Di sneered, "Okay, Guo Qing, just relax, my father will never blame you for this person."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Guo An cupped his hands towards Zhu Di and reminded: "Your Highness, I think this book is a good book. As for whether to leave it in the palace or put it in the academy library, I leave it to Your Highness to decide."
"oh?"
After being reminded twice by Guo An, Zhu Di became a little curious.
He slowly opened it and looked at it directly.
"Um?"
Zhu Di, who doesn't like to read books, couldn't help but sink in after reading a chapter.
"The Yellow Turban Uprising, the heroes competing for the throne...the Secret Order on Clothes and Belts, the Battle of Guandu..."
These include the common people, the military, politics, uprisings, loyal ministers, traitorous ministers, dignitaries, the royal family... For Zhu Di, each of them is very familiar.
When Zhu Di felt some pain in his neck, he couldn't help but move his neck slowly, but suddenly he saw Guo An lying on the chair with his back stretched out, soundly asleep.
"Fuck..."
Zhu Di couldn't help but feel angry.
"Ma He, what time is it now?"
"Back to Your Highness, it's almost noon now."
Ma He on the side quickly replied.
"What?"
A trace of surprise flashed in Zhu Di's eyes. He felt that he had only been watching for a short time, but it was noon in the blink of an eye.
I looked down again and saw that the book in my hand was already half-opened.
"Is this book really a history book?"
After he finished speaking, no one responded to him.
Zhu Di raised his head in confusion, but found that Guo An was still fast asleep.
"Guo Qing? Guo Qing..."
"Huh?...Your Highness, you have finally finished reading!"
After being woken up, Guo An subconsciously wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and quickly asked: "Your Highness, Wei Chen has been calling you for a long time, but you have ignored Wei Chen and are still obsessed with this book. Wei Chen." I can't disturb His Highness, so I can only wait again...
I just didn’t know what happened, so I fell asleep. Please forgive me, Your Highness! "
Beside, Ma He's mouth twitched slightly.
Zhu Di waved his hand impatiently and continued to ask: "Guo Qing, is this book really written by Na Luo Ben?"
Guo An replied: "Your Highness, it should be written by that Luo Ben."
Zhu Di narrowed his eyes slightly, "Father still underestimates this person, he has such a big heart!"
"What did your Highness say?" Guo An asked quickly.
Zhu Di smiled softly, stared at Guo An closely and asked, "Guo Qing doesn't understand this book?"
"So His Highness is talking about this book!"
Guo An smiled coquettishly and said: "Your Highness, no matter how big a heart Mr. Luo has, he is now an old man in his twilight years."
Zhu Di frowned, "Fortunately, Zhang Shicheng committed suicide and forced such a talented person away."
With that said, Zhu Di stared at Guo An again, "We want to meet this Robben in person."
"Weichen will bring Mr. Luo in now."
Guo An said quickly.
"good."
Zhu Di nodded slightly.
Guo An didn't hesitate and walked out directly.
…
When he heard that Zhu Di wanted to see him, Luo Guanzhong was just stunned, and then followed Guo An on the carriage to Prince Yan's Mansion.
Guo An took him into the palace gate, and Zhu Di was already standing at the palace gate to greet him.
"Caomin Luo Ben has met His Highness King Yan."
"Hahaha, Mr. Luo is indeed a great sage. We have heard of Mr. Luo's name from our father a long time ago. I never thought that seeing him is as good as hearing it. Mr. Luo, please come in quickly..."
After entering the hall and sitting down with each other.
Zhu Di picked up the "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and said, "We heard that this book was written by Mr. Luo?"
"It's the grassroots people." Luo Guanzhong replied.
Zhu Di said directly: "Mr. Luo can write such a sound and wonderful history book, he must have the knowledge of kings in his heart. We would like to ask Mr. Luo to be a good person for the palace. I wonder if Mr. Luo is willing?"
"Your Highness, please ask me to do good deeds for the palace?"
Luo Guanzhong looked surprised.
Even Guo An on the side was full of surprise. He originally thought that Zhu Di would like this book at most, but he didn't expect that Zhu Di was so talented that even an old man like Luo Guanzhong would not let it go.
"Exactly!"
Zhu Di nodded slightly, "We also know that many scholars have studied hard since childhood and have the ambition to help the people and the country.
However, when they entered the officialdom, each one of them became pedantic, obsessed with interests, and had no intention of sharing the common people of the world...
We now know the nature of these scholars, but our sons, especially the eldest son, did not like martial arts early on. Instead, they were like Confucian disciples, full of benevolence.
We are worried that when he grows up, he will be full of kindness and will be deceived by those sanctimonious scholars... Therefore, we would like to ask Mr. Luo to teach our eldest son a good lesson. "
"I see."
Although Zhu Di kept scolding scholars, Luo Guanzhong was not annoyed at all.
In his observation, scholars are still like this. Moreover, now that he has entered Prince Yan's Mansion, he can't help it anymore.
"The common people are now in their twilight years, and all they have left is their useless body. Thank you for Your Highness's great love."
"Sir, just agree."
A smile appeared directly on Zhu Di's face.
"I don't know what your sir's request is, but we will definitely satisfy him."
Luo Guanzhong said slowly: "Guo Changshi knows about this matter."
Guo An quickly explained: "Your Highness, Mr. Luo came to Beiping Mansion this time to donate books to the academy library.
Wei Chen also agreed, and planned to find a few scribes to copy Mr. Luo's books, and to find a suitable pair of reading glasses for Mr. Luo. "
Zhu Di said: "In that case, Guo Qing will make arrangements quickly."
"Weichen will do it now."
Guo An stood up helplessly and walked out.
Zhu Di said again: "In addition, bring all Luo Jishan's books to the palace. From now on, Luo Jishan will live in the palace."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Guo An responded again and walked out.
After another busy afternoon, Guo An finally satisfied all Luo Guanzhong's requirements, and then felt relieved.
A few days later.
The people of the entire Beiping Mansion suddenly returned food to Prince Yan's Mansion under the leadership of their respective chiefs.
The acres they cultivated last year will yield a bumper harvest this year.
Zhu Laosi was happy for several days.
at the same time.
Xu Yun and Zhuang Guang also visited Guo An again, and all the people sent to Shaanxi, Shaanxi, Liaodong and other places came back.
