This expedition against Goryeo took Guo An half a year.
After getting off the ship, getting on the carriage, and leaving the dock, Guo An still looked in a daze.
Although the Korean people were always respectful when they saw him, they wanted to lie at his feet and lick his toes.
But in Guo An's mind, it was Beiping Mansion that was full of people from the Ming Dynasty, which made him feel warm and at ease.
Even the driver who just passed by, muttering curses while driving a carriage, was much kinder than those Koreans.
Moreover, just by looking at the carriages coming and going along the way, Guo An felt that Beiping Mansion was much more prosperous.
The driver seemed to be able to feel Guo An's homesickness, and kept driving the horses along the way.
All the way into Shunchengmen, and then walking for a while, you will find Anfufang, which Guo An is very familiar with, and then Chunshu Hutong.
After getting off the carriage, Guo An walked in with hurried steps.
Behind him, Guo Erniu was carrying a big box and struggled to keep up.
"Master is back?"
"Master! Madam, the master is back!..."
As the door of Guo Mansion was opened, the concierge took a careful look at Guo An, and then shouted towards the inside with a face full of joy.
Suddenly, the entire Guo Mansion became noisy.
Madam Liu Baiwei, the eldest maid Yuelan, Guo Erniang, and the old housekeeper Guo Lin all came out to greet Guo An with happy faces and pay tribute to Guo An.
"Thank you all for your hard work..."
Guo An responded casually and walked towards Liu Baiwei with excitement on his face.
"Sister, we're back!"
"It will be good if the master comes back safely..."
Liu Baiwei's eyes were slightly red.
"Wow wow wow..."
At this time, a little boy with pink and jade carvings in the arms of an old woman stared at Guo An and cried with dark eyes.
As soon as the little kid cried, the sister next to him, Guo Han, also started crying.
There was chaos.
"Master, don't be upset. These two children haven't seen you for a long time. They don't know you anymore. After a few days of familiarity, they won't cry when they see you!"
Liu Baiwei quickly comforted her.
Guo An said: "It doesn't matter, we have wronged my sister..."
"I am not wronged!"
However, Liu Baiwei still looked at Guo An with a resentful look.
She had only been married into the Guo family for more than two years, and Guo An had already gone on two military expeditions, each time lasting half a year.
Guo An An's head was filled with excitement when he saw it, "Let's go, sister, we've had a long journey, so we need to wash up!"
Liu Baiwei followed with a blush on her face.
Outside the house, all the servants of the Guo Mansion also started to get busy spontaneously.
The master finally came back, and there seemed to be a magical power in their bodies, urging them not to stop.
As for the two little guys, Guo Han and Guo Shen, they stopped immediately after losing sight of Guo An.
At the same time, he stared with round black eyes in the direction where Guo An and their mother were leaving.
However, no one dared to take them there.
at the same time.
The news that Yan King Zhu Di and Chief Shi Guo An returned to Beiping Mansion once again spread to the surrounding areas.
Throughout the Ming Dynasty, there was another wave of turmoil.
These things, apart from increasing the number of merchants at Zhangjiawan Pier, did not have any impact on Guo An.
Guo An stayed at the house all day without taking a step towards the front door.
In addition to handing in homework, I just teased my two little brats.
After Guo An's unremitting efforts over the past two days, Guo Han and Guo Shen finally stopped crying after seeing Guo An again.
However, if Guo An wants to be hugged, he will burst into tears immediately.
This day.
After Guo An made Guo Shen cry every day, he sat on the chair with a proud face and watched Liu Baiwei coax her.
Um?
Suddenly, Guo An noticed that Guo Shen had a cunning look in his eyes.
Moreover, the more he looked, the more he looked like him.
Guo An couldn't help but said angrily: "Are you competing with us for girls?"
Guo Shen's crying became louder again.
After finally coaxing Guo Shen, and now being yelled at by Guo An again, Liu Baiwei couldn't help but scolded her.
Guo An was furious, "Sister, look carefully, this guy obviously did it on purpose..."
Liu Baiwei didn't believe it, "Master, Shen'er can't speak yet, how could he..."
Guo An: "..."
He actually gave birth to a rebellious son!
"master!"
At this time, Guo Erniu walked in from outside.
Guo An asked with an unhappy look: "What's the matter?"
"Sir, His Highness Prince Yan has something to ask you for!"
Guo Erniu said.
"I haven't rested for a few days, and you came to call me?"
Guo An muttered something angrily and then said to Liu Baiwei beside him.
"Sister, let's go to the palace."
"His Royal Highness, Prince Yan, is looking for me. There must be something big happening. Master, please go quickly!"
"Um!"
Guo An got up and walked out.
When Guo An just left the house, Guo Shen, who was still crying at the top of his lungs, immediately became silent.
Liu Baiwei looked down and found that the boy in her arms was staring curiously towards the door.
I couldn't help but be startled.
"You kid..."
…
Yanwang Palace.
As soon as Guo An entered the hall, his expression became concentrated.
All the chamberlains in the entire hall lowered their heads. It was obvious that Zhu Di was definitely in a bad mood.
"I am here to meet you, Your Highness!"
"Guo Qing is here!"
Seeing Guo An, Zhu Di's frown relaxed slightly.
Then, he waved to the chamberlains on the left and right sides of the palace.
All the servants quickly lowered their heads and retreated quickly.
"I wonder what makes His Highness so angry?" Guo An asked curiously.
"snort!"
Zhu Di snorted heavily, with an angry look on his face: "Guo Qing, that Lan Yu is such a piece of shit, he dares to make slanderous remarks to the prince."
"Your Highness, Yongchang Hou Lanyu's holy family is in full swing. This matter should be reported to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will punish him!"
Guo An said with an indifferent expression.
"Why would father punish him?"
Zhu Di had an angry look on his face, "That guy has made such great contributions to the Ming Dynasty. Even if he sent troops to invade Xifeng Pass and took the concubines of the Yuan Dynasty emperor, my father only scolded him a few words and made him a Duke of Liang." ."
Guo An was stunned. Lao Zhu was indeed too fond of Lan Yu.
"Your Highness, I wonder what kind of slander Duke Liang gave His Highness the Crown Prince to make His Highness so angry?"
Zhu Di said coldly: "That guy actually told the prince that since we have the spirit of an emperor, we will definitely rebel in the future, and asked the prince to take strict precautions against us!"
Guo An's eyes widened.
Zhu Di was very satisfied with Guo An's attitude and continued: "That bitch doesn't even think about it. What relationship do we have with the prince? How could we rebel?
Moreover, we are living at ease in Beiping Mansion, why can't we think about it and want to rebel against our old Zhu family? "
"What His Highness said is absolutely true, that Lan Yu is really talking nonsense!"
Guo An nodded slightly in agreement.
"Exactly!"
Zhu Di said: "It must be that Lan Yu captured the King of Korea after he returned to the capital and heard that we only brought 10,000 Yanshan guards.
But he brought an army of 200,000, but the Emperor and Prince of Beiyuan let him go. He was jealous, so he slandered the prince! "
Guo An nodded slightly again, and then asked curiously: "Then how did His Highness know that Lan Yu made slanderous remarks to His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Hearing this, Zhu Di looked arrogant.
"How could the blue jade thief know how close the relationship between the prince and us is? After we returned to Beiping Mansion, the prince informed me of this matter!"
Guo An: "..."
That blue jade is really pitiful, but there is something good about it.
However, he did not figure out the real thing.
Zhu Di looked at Guo An solemnly, "We invited Guo Qing here today because we want to ask Guo Qing for advice. We are just a vassal king and govern the Beiping Mansion normally...
As for the attack on Goryeo, we were still forced by the King of Goryeo. Why would anyone think that we were going to rebel?
Where on earth did we do something that made the ministers in the DPRK fearful? "
Guo Andao: "Your Highness is worried about being reprimanded by His Majesty?"
Zhu Di nodded slightly and said, "Guo Qing still knows us!"
Guo An frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "Your Highness, the authorities are confused, but the bystanders are clear!
Wei Chen also felt that there was nothing out of the ordinary in what His Highness did in Beiping Mansion.
However, God’s will is unpredictable.
Why don't Your Highness write a letter and directly ask His Highness the Crown Prince for advice?
...If that doesn't work, Your Highness can ask Master Dao Yan for advice. "
"Master Daoyan?"
Zhu Di's eyes lit up, "Since we came back, we haven't summoned Master Dao Yan yet.
Master Dao Yan can definitely give us some advice on this matter! "
"That's good!"
Guo An nodded slowly, and he suddenly realized that he seemed to have snatched away the job of monk Dao Yan beside Zhu Di.
The old monk is also very small-minded, so he probably won't bear any grudge against him because of these things.
After thinking about it, Guo An slowly shook his head.
He doesn't have to be afraid of a mere monk.
At this moment, Zhu Di had already called Ma He in and asked Ma He to go and ask for Master Dao Yan.
After Ma He left, Zhu Di said: "Guo Qing doesn't know something. This kid Ma He somehow fell into the eyes of Master Daoyan and was accepted as a disciple by Master Daoyan!"
"Um?"
Guo An's eyes lit up, "Ma and that boy are really lucky!"
Zhu Di nodded slightly, "Master Daoyan has great wisdom in his belly. Ma and this son are talented, diligent and studious, and will definitely become talents in the future."
"Congratulations, Your Highness. In a few years, I will have another talented confidant!"
"Hahaha……"
After chatting with Zhu Di for a few more words, Guo An couldn't sit still.
"If nothing happens to Your Highness, I will leave first!"
Zhu Di asked: "Guo Qing doesn't want to meet Master Dao Yan?"
"Your Highness has misunderstood!"
Guo An smiled slightly, "Weichen misses the two children at home!"
Zhu Di nodded with great understanding, "In this case, we won't keep Guo Qing!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
After Guo An exited the main hall, he went straight to the Gongzheng Institute.
When Xu Yun and Zhuang Guang saw Guo An, their faces were overjoyed and they quickly stepped forward to greet him.
"I'm here to see Guo Changshi. I don't know that Guo Changshi has come to the palace to take charge. In the country of Xianguan, the two of them should go to see Guo Changshi!"
Guo An waved his hand casually, "You don't need to do this. We didn't come to the palace to be on duty. We were just called by His Highness to ask some questions."
Hearing this, Xu Yun and Zhuang Guang were stunned.
"Well, Guo Changshi is not here, but what do you want to tell me about?"
Guo Andao: "I would like to ask the carpenters from the Gongzheng Institute to make a few small items for us!"
Xu Yun and Zhuang Guang said quickly: "It's a small matter, just ask Guo Changshi."
"Get a pen and paper!"
"Yes, Guo Changshi!"
As a stack of papers was placed in front of Guo An, Guo An was not polite.
On top, I drew directly.
On the side, Xu Yun and Zhuang Guang watched carefully.
However, the more they looked, the weirder Xu Yun and Zhuang Guang's expressions became.
"Guo Changshi, these objects... seem to be children's toys?"
