As soon as this was said, everyone except the new Qianhus agreed with it.
The expressions of Sun Yan, Xu Xiang and other Yanshan guards could not help but change slightly.
Chen Shou said quietly: "Wu Yuanhe, do you think Guo An is a little arrogant?"
"Exactly!"
Wu Yuanhe and several new Qianhu nodded repeatedly.
"Commander, that Guo An is just a fifth-grade Changshi, even if he represents His Highness King Yan and has some great talents.
But he is a civilian official and does not understand military affairs. How can he interfere in the military affairs of Prince Yan's palace?
The most important thing is that in the entire Goryeo, the commander is the highest-ranking official in Prince Yan's Mansion! "
"So, what do you think we should do?"
Chen Shou's face immediately darkened.
"Commander, I think we should let Guo An know..."
Before he finished speaking, Wu Yuanhe felt something was wrong.
"It means...command, but what is wrong with what the general said?"
"No, you are very loyal."
Chen Shou slowly shook his head, smiled faintly at Wu Yuanhe, and walked forward.
"What you said will be carefully considered!"
Around them, Xu Xiang, Sun Yan and other thousands of households also glanced at Wu Yuanhe and others with expressionless expressions, and followed Chen Shou.
These old people who are Yanshan Guards have been guarding their own areas since Wu Yuanhe and other newcomers joined in. There is a gap between them.
However, they did not expect that these new Qianhu households would be so rampant!
Yes, in their opinion, Wu Yuanhe and others are really rampant!
What's wrong with Guo Changshi's scolding? I haven't lost a penny of your salary, nor a weapon or meat!
"this……"
Behind them, Wu Yuanhe and others were stunned when they saw the reaction of Chen Shou and others.
Isn't this the same attitude when they face civil servants such as Jin Zhong and Chang Guoting?
wrong!
Suddenly, Wu Yuanhe and others seemed to remember something, their eyes narrowed, and beads of sweat suddenly appeared on their foreheads, and then they quickly chased after Chen Shou and others.
"Brother Xu, I see that you all have great respect for that Guo Changshi. Even though that Guo Changshi keeps scolding you, you don't seem to be dissatisfied at all. I'm very puzzled!"
"Exactly, Brother Sun, I wonder what the hell is going on?"
"My younger brother and others have just entered Prince Yan's Mansion. They have never seen Guo Changshi once, so they were transferred to Korea by His Highness. They just heard that Guo Changshi is a great talent!"
"Brother Xu, I am a soldier in Prince Yan's palace, a brother who eats food from a horse spoon. If I do something wrong, brothers, just tell me what you have to say, and you can even beat me and scold me..."
Ahead, Chen Shou paused slightly and sighed slightly.
Wu Yuanhe and others looked happy and ran up quickly.
"Commander, all the Yanshan Guard brothers seem to respect Guo Changshi?"
Chen Shou took a deep look at Wu Yuanhe and others, and said quietly: "The grenades, incendiary bombs and other sharp weapons used by our Yanshan Guards were all researched and manufactured by Guo Changshi;
The woolen clothes, armor, and steel knives and spears that my Yanshan Guard brothers are now wearing were also forged and woven by the men led by Guo Changshi;
My Yanshanwei brothers can get a large share of the money made from trade every year, and it was Guo Changshi who came to intercede with His Highness;
The farm under Prince Yan's Mansion was also built by His Highness Guo Changshi. Only in this way can we, my brothers in Yanshan Guard, have a large amount of meat to eat...
We, the Yanshan Guardsmen, can take a Korean girl as a concubine, and that is also Guo Changshi..."
Listening to Chen Shou's words, Wu Yuanhe and others' faces became increasingly pale.
At this moment, they finally understood that Guo Changshi was not a great sage at all, he was simply the reborn parent of Yanshan Guards like them!
To put it bluntly, this Guo Changshi is even worse than His Highness King Yan...
Fortunately, they didn't provoke that Guo Changshi in the hall just now!
otherwise……
Thinking about it, Wu Yuanhe and others couldn't help but shudder, and quickly saluted Chen Shou.
"The general and others are not aware of this inside story and just made a mistake. Please don't take it to heart!"
"The general and others made a mistake, please command and punish them!"
"In this case, since I know I made a mistake, I will be punished. I will leave it to you to urge those Goryeo dignitaries to search for the hiding places of the Goryeo Japanese pirates."
"The last general takes orders..."
When Chen Shou and others left, Wu Yuan and the others couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
fortunately……
…
soon.
With the arrival of Guo An, a group of Yanshan guards and officials from Prince Yan's palace in Kaicheng, Jianghua Island and Yan'an County quickly moved into action.
Make an identity plate.
Schools were built, scholars from Korea were recruited, and a few scribes from Prince Yan's palace even went to battle in person to serve as the tutors of those Koreans.
Immediately, a trend of learning Ming dialect and writing Ming characters spread in these places and slowly spread outward.
At the same time, notices were posted one after another about Kaicheng, Jianghua Island and Yan'an County being sold to King Yan of the Ming Dynasty by the former Goryeo King Wang You and becoming the Yan Kingdom.
There was an uproar in Kaesong, Ganghwa Island and Yenan County.
Naturally, there were also some diehards loyal to the Goryeo royal family who clamored to demonstrate and resist.
Unfortunately, this time, the Yanshan Guards have changed from the gentleness they have been in for half a year. Anyone who dares to resist the demonstration will be charged with rebellion and his family will be confiscated and his family will be exterminated.
In just a few days.
Dozens of rebels were killed in Kaesong, Ganghwa Island and Yan'an County.
The remaining reluctant people suddenly became desperate after seeing that the Goryeo nobles and some officials did not respond to them, and even actively cooperated with the people from the Yan Palace.
As a result, everyone began to stop resisting.
Of course, more Goryeo people don't care. Are they Goryeo people or Yan people?
Anyway, no one took away their property.
In fact, those people from the Yan Palace of the Ming Dynasty treated them much better than the previous Goryeo royal family!
Moreover, the Korean people of this time are not as stupid and stingy as the sticks of later generations!
On the contrary, they are still in awe of the Ming Dynasty and have a lot of yearning for it.
…
at the same time.
In the Ming Dynasty, the capital.
All the people gathered around the gate of Gongyuan, looking expectantly at the big red notice posted.
"Fifty-sixth, Liao Xuelun!"
"Hahaha, Brother Huang, Brother Zheng, I am actually fifty-sixth. As long as I don't lose points in the palace examination, I will definitely get the title of Second Class Jinshi!"
"congratulations……"
"Eighty-five, Yin Xiancai!"
"I am eighty-five, wuwu... I have suffered in the academy for so long, and finally it has not been in vain, hahaha..."
"congratulations!"
"..."
"Look, the top three are out!"
"Third place, Ren Xiangtai!"
"I understand this person. He is from Xiangyang, Huguang. He seems to be from a businessman's family. He has been a well-known prodigy in Xiangyang since he was a child. But I can't forget it. He is still Huguang Jieyuan..."
"It's just that if even great talents such as Ren Xiangtai, Tang Zhen, and Lu Yuanzhi are not Huiyuan, then who is Huiyuan?"
"Second place Zheng Fan!"
"Who is Zheng Fan? Has anyone heard of him?"
"This person can actually be ranked ahead of Ren Xiangtai!"
"Weird!"
"Everyone, look, Hui Yuan is out!"
"Come out, come out..."
"Huiyuan is Huang Boqian!"
"Who is Huang Boqian?"
"Yes, who is Huang Boqian? Neither the first person nor the second place is famous. Could it be that someone cheated in the imperial examination?"
"Could someone have leaked the topic?"
While a group of Juren were discussing with doubts on their faces, they did not see that among them, there was a group of numb-looking Juren who looked at the notice with dumbfounded faces and disbelief on their faces.
"Brother Huang, you are actually Huiyuan!"
"Brother Huang, you are the biggest contributor to my success in the Northern Region this time!"
"Brother Zheng is not bad, he ranked second..."
"Brother Liu is not bad either, ranking seventh..."
"Brother Wang..."
Everyone was talking excitedly, and suddenly they noticed that some of the people around them looked at them with something wrong.
Everyone looked at each other. Thinking of Guo Changshi's instructions, they said, "Let's go back to the inn first."
"It's true, it's true, we finally got a good ranking, so we must prepare well and strive to directly obtain the title of No. 3 Flowers!"
"Brother Huang, why don't you come to the top of the list..."
Just as a few people were walking out talking and laughing, a harsh sound suddenly sounded from the crowd.
"I remembered that Huang Boqian and Zheng Fan were both elected members of the Beiping Prefecture."
"And Yin Xiancai and Liao Xuelun are also candidates from the Beiping Prefecture."
"The seventh Liu Jiezhai is from Shunde Mansion..."
"This time, all twelve candidates from Beiping Prefecture are on the list, even among the top 100!"
"How can this be?"
"There is definitely something fishy about this matter!"
"I can't bear to wait..."
In an instant, thousands of people were outraged and started making a scene filled with anger.
But at this moment, all the chief and deputy examiners in the Gongyuan looked at the rankings and the selected test papers with embarrassment on their faces.
"Prince, Mr. Zhang, what's wrong, those students outside are making a fuss because of the Huiyuan Huang Boqian incident!"
"well!"
In the room, all the examiners could not help but look solemn.
"This time, the test questions will not be leaked, and you don't need to worry. I'm going to see your Majesty. You guys should hold on to your moves first!"
"Prince, please go!"
All the examiners responded one after another.
In the Imperial Palace, Fengtian Hall.
Lao Zhu also received the news that there was trouble outside Gongyuan, and he couldn't help but look gloomy.
When the examiner Wang Gong hurriedly walked into the hall and reported the whole story.
Lao Zhu couldn't help but ask: "Wang Qing said that there were no flaws in this imperial examination. Is it because those candidates from Beiping Prefecture are close to the top 100 because of their true talents and practical knowledge?"
Wang Gong nodded quickly, "Your Majesty is wise!"
A strange look flashed across Lao Zhu's face, "Wang Qing, do you think those in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian cannot pass the exams of those scholars in the north?"
Wang Gong said firmly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Although this imperial examination is very strange, it is still true!"
Lao Zhu said directly: "Go and bring us the test papers of the top fifty candidates into the palace."
"Wei Chen obeys the order!"
After leaving the palace gate, Wang Gong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and walked quickly to Gongyuan.
How did he know why those Beiping Mansion officials suddenly became so talented?
Half an hour later.
Inside Fengtian Hall.
Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao, as well as Wang Gong and the other examiners, as well as Grand Bachelor Yixi, looked at the bursts of test papers in front of them and marveled.
"Biao'er, why do we always feel that the test papers for these Beiping Prefecture examination papers are very similar?"
Following Lao Zhu's words, Zhu Biao, Wang Gong and others' expressions suddenly changed.
"What?"
