Chapter 406 Guo An: I am no longer the chief historian of Prince Yan’s palace? Then I’m leaving!
Ming Dynasty: Hanging out in Beiping County as Magistrate Chapter 406 Guo An: I am no longer the chief historian of Prince Yan? Then let me go! Among them, the most excited ones are still the common people.
Guo Changshi did not abandon them!
Although His Highness King Yan was promoted to Crown Prince, he did not abandon them.
The officials and gentry quickly sent people to investigate Guo An and Zhu Gaochi at all times.
They want to know if there is something big going on when Guo An and Zhu Gaochi return to Peiping so soon?
Guo Mansion.
As soon as Father Guo and Liu Huiyuan learned that Guo An was back, they hurried to the door.
As soon as they entered the door, before even saying a few words, the two of them began to ask questions in a hurry.
"Ning Yi, His Royal Highness King Yan has just been promoted to Crown Prince. Why did you and His Highness the Crown Prince suddenly come back to Peking?"
"Dad, my father-in-law, because of the opening of the sea..."
Guo An told Father Guo and Liu Huiyuan in detail about the formation of the Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce.
Liu Huiyuan said thoughtfully: "So, the sea is open?"
As for Guo's father, his face became anxious, "Ning Yi, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince trusts you and puts you in charge of the Chamber of Commerce. Why do you use your power for personal gain?
If His Highness is offended because of this matter, wouldn’t it be worth the loss?”
Guo An chuckled and said, "Dad, with the huge benefits of sea trade, instead of benefiting others, it would be better for our Guo family to get a share of the pie.
Moreover, we never shy away from His Highness in doing things. If His Highness has any objections, His Highness will tell me directly!
In this way, Your Highness can always trust me."
"That's good!"
Father Guo nodded slowly. He had never been an official in his life, nor had he achieved any fame.
Guo An has reached this point, and he has nothing to teach him.
I feel both proud and a little confused.
And Liu Huiyuan said again: "Ning Yi, if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them; if they are piled up on the shore, the current will be turbulent; if you walk higher than others, everyone will reject them.
Your Highness, the Crown Prince, will definitely be crowned a great treasure. Now that His Highness has such trust in you, and coupled with the huge interests of the Shanghai Trade Chamber of Commerce, some people will definitely dislike you, and even hate you...
The foundation of our family is still shallow. There is only one person in the court, your Uncle Nie, and there is no one else who can help you speak.
If those courtiers want to frame you, it will be difficult for you to escape.
Now that you have gained the trust of His Highness the Crown Prince, hide your clumsiness as much as you can!"
Guo An nodded slightly, "What your father-in-law said is absolutely true. I will try my best to stay with His Highness the Crown Prince in Beiping Mansion for as long as possible."
Guo An also knew that in the past, when Zhu Di was just a vassal king, he could become Zhu Di's confidant at will.
But now, Zhu Di has successfully been promoted to crown prince, and he is the king of all officials in the entire Ming Dynasty.
He is the king that all officials want to serve!
Everyone hopes to be appreciated and valued by Zhu Di.
If he still blocks everyone in front of him like before, he will block the promotion path of all the ministers of the Ming Dynasty.
Anyone who blocks someone's path to wealth is like killing their parents; but someone who blocks someone's future is even worse!
No matter how much he, Guo An, gains Zhu Di's trust, if all the courtiers want to frame him, even ten of them will not be able to resist him.
Why not leave the capital as soon as possible, leave Zhu Di's side, and let the courtiers do whatever they want.
Guo An had an inexplicable complex feeling about watching the cub he raised being favored by a group of wives, and he had to avoid it in order to avoid suspicion.
……
Guo An stayed at home for two days in a row before coming to Prince Yan's Mansion to take charge of his duties.
As soon as he entered, he saw the old man Zhu Fu with a resentful face.
"I've met Zhu Changshi!"
Zhu Fu saluted Guo An with a nose that was not a nose and a face that was not a face, "I have seen Guo Shaozhan before!"
Guo An was startled, then quickly smiled.
He had forgotten that he went to the capital and immediately became Zhu Fu's Shangguan!
"Zhu Changshi, please don't do this. I'm just taking the first step."
"Don't worry, Zhu Changshi, you know best what kind of character His Highness is.
Nowadays, His Highness has just been promoted to Crown Prince, and the East Palace has not yet been sorted out, so he cannot take care of you.
When His Highness straightens things out, he will definitely not forget the contributions of Zhu Changshi and everyone in Prince Yan's palace.
After all, all the officials in the palace, including the Yanshan guards and officials from the Yan and Japanese countries, are His Highness's trustworthy confidants!"
Sure enough, after Guo An finished speaking, Zhu Fu's expression suddenly relaxed.
All around, the officials of Prince Yan's Palace were also full of joy.
In Prince Yan's Mansion, Guo Changshi is the most favored by His Highness, so what Guo Changshi means must be what His Highness means.
Zhu Fu said again: "I wonder what important matters Guo Shaozhan has when he comes to Prince Yan's Mansion this time?"
"I..."
Guo An was startled.
He suddenly realized that he was Zhan Shi, the young master of Zhan Shifu of the East Palace, and no longer the right chief of the Yan Palace!
So, why did he come to Prince Yan's Mansion?
Thinking about this, Guo An quickly bowed respectfully to Zhu Fu.
"Thank you Zhu Changshi for the reminder!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
"..."
Zhu Fu opened his mouth slightly and watched Guo An walk out of the palace gate.
As for the officials of Prince Yan's palace on the side, they also watched Guo An leave like this.
At this time.
Zhu Gaochi hurriedly walked out of the palace and looked around. He didn't see Guo An, so he couldn't help asking a little strangely.
"Zhu Changshi, isn't Guo Shaozhan here? Why is he nowhere to be seen?"
