"Master also thinks that we can bring Guo An into the mansion?"
Seeing that Yao Guangxiao actually agreed, Zhu Di couldn't help but feel happy.
Yao Guangxiao nodded slightly again and said: "Your Highness, although Guo An is an official of the imperial court, he is only a small county magistrate.
It would be easy for His Highness to accept him as a minister in the palace, but it would be his good fortune.
Moreover, if His Majesty asks for a mere county magistrate, His Majesty and His Majesty the Crown Prince will definitely not be in trouble."
"It's just that Guo An is a special person. He behaves wildly and has provoked the imperial censors to impeach him many times. I'm afraid that His Majesty will not have a good impression of him and that he will lead His Highness into mischief..."
Zhu Di quickly shook his head, "How is this possible? Guo An is a great talent. My father will definitely know everything and will not believe the slanderous words of those officials in the court."
"Amitabha."
Yao Guangxiao's face changed slightly, and he felt that his chest was inexplicably blocked. He felt that things had once again exceeded his expectations. He did not expect that King Yan would value Guo An so much.
However, as an eminent monk, he should be generous.
At least, Guo An brought a lot of money to Prince Yan's Mansion every month, especially for him, who could enjoy a delicious meal of barbecue and fine wine every few days.
In this way, consider it as a return of favor!
Thinking about it, Yao Guangxiao said again: "Your Highness might as well wait until the big fish caught from the sea comes back. Your Highness will select a few hundred kilograms of good fish and send them to Yingtian City for Your Majesty to fulfill your filial piety.
At the same time, I will explain to Your Majesty the causes and consequences of going fishing in the sea, and along with it, I will plead with Your Majesty and transfer Guo An to the palace."
"Is this possible?"
Zhu Di looked happy.
Yao Guangxiao said: "Although His Highness took advantage of this loophole when going fishing in the sea, those censors will never let this matter go.
By then, Guo An will definitely not be able to escape.
If Your Highness does not bring Guo An into the palace, I am afraid that Guo An's life will not be saved due to the anger of all the ministers in the court."
This is the truth.
The more you dance, the faster you die.
This is a fact that Yao Guangxiao has already seen clearly, otherwise he would not have followed Zhu Di all the way from Yingtian Mansion to Beiping Mansion.
According to the moral character of the ministers and merchants in the court, they took the maritime ban more seriously than anyone else.
As the king of the Ming Dynasty, King Yan is the fourth son of His Majesty. At most, he will be scolded a few times, but nothing will happen to him.
And Guo An, a small county magistrate, wanted to keep him away from him even from the beginning.
However, how huge are the interests involved in the maritime ban? How could he ignore it?
"Yes!"
Zhu Di also realized that this situation was wrong and looked solemn.
"Those civil servants are all evil-minded. They either follow others' opinions all day long, or they speculate on the father's thoughts, or they try to curry favor with the eldest brother... Guo An is indeed in some danger this time!"
"Amitabha."
Yao Guangxiao sighed softly and said nothing.
"No, Guo An is doing it for the hundreds of thousands of people in Beiping Prefecture this time, and he is forced by us. We must save his life!"
With that said, Zhu Di couldn't sit still anymore, said something to Yao Guangxiao, and walked to the study.
He wants to submit a memorial in advance to the prince and his father!
Originally, he thought that after Zhu Liang and Xu Xiang caught the fish from the sea, he would write a memorial to his father to explain the matter and announce the good news again.
But now, if the Beiping government officials or those officials were impeached in advance, causing the father to kill Guo An in a rage, then the sin of King Yan would be huge.
Guo An didn't know about all this.
Moreover, Guo An has never seen how dark the officials and businessmen in this world can be for the sake of financial gain.
With several craftsmen sent by Zhu Di, Guo An stayed in the textile hall until the afternoon, rushing back before ascending to the Evening Hall.
Then, go home from get off work.
Continue reading, or thinking about how to improve those textile machines and cotton gins.
This matter was not done by Guo An on a whim.
Guo An had this idea as early as when he first took office, when he went to various villages to chat with the elderly door to door.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Clothing ranks first in society.
The people of Wanping County cannot continue to suck blood from those second-rate dealers in Songjiang Prefecture.
…
Three days later.
Two refitted eight-foot-long boats, carrying two hundred Yanshan guards and one hundred fishermen, sailed down the North Canal straight down to Dagukou.
At the same time, two urgent memorials were sent directly from Dagu to Yingtian City.
In the vast Bohai Sea, Zhu Liang and Xu Xiang, with two large ships, remembered Guo An's words and walked into the sea for half an hour before starting to cast their nets.
Then, two large boats dragged the fishing nets and moved side by side at the same speed.
Both the Yanshan guards and the fishermen on the boat had experienced swimming in the river before and did not suffer from seasickness.
Zhu Liang, who saw the sea for the first time, and some Yanshan guards lay on the side of the boat with curious faces, staring at the water.
"You all should open your eyes wide and look carefully. We are here to fish this time. As long as we catch enough sea fish, Your Highness will be rewarded heavily when we return."
"Don't worry, General, these sea fish are all carnivorous. As long as they dare to show up, our brothers will never let them escape!"
"Exactly, whenever fish appear in the sea, brothers will jump in and catch them!"
"Ha ha……"
A group of Yanshan guards looked at the sea below, their eyes almost fell in, their faces full of excitement.
Seeing this, Zhu Liang's face turned dark again.
"You bastards, don't keep staring at the sea. You are not allowed to jump into the sea without our order. It is hundreds of feet deep down here!"
"In addition, assign ten people to guard the surrounding areas for us. There are many pirates and pirates on the sea."
"Yes, General!"
All the guards responded in unison.
Soon, ten people were on guard everywhere.
However, after walking forward for another half an hour, the coastline in the distance had turned into a black line. Neither the Yanwang guards nor the fishermen on the two large boats saw a single fish.
All the guards began to become suspicious.
"General, I've been out at sea for so long, why haven't I seen a fish yet?"
"Yeah, let alone those thousands of large fish schools, I didn't even see a small fish."
"Did I go to the wrong place?"
"Quiet!"
Zhu Liang was also a little out of breath at this moment. He turned his head and looked aside. Ever since they went to sea, those few people had been covering their fingers with saliva, then raised them high, closed their eyes and meditated on the old fishermen.
"Everyone, we have been out to sea for almost two hours and haven't seen a single fish. Please speed up. If the cabins of these two big ships are not filled with big fish tomorrow, let alone five taels of silver, I will
I will also give each of you ten boards."
An old fisherman next to Zhu Liang said quickly: "General Zhu, please be patient for a moment. We haven't gone to sea for several years. We don't know where there are fish, so we can only search slowly."
"Hmph, I don't hope you can find it quickly!"
Zhu Liang said something and stopped disturbing him.
After working with Guo An for so long, Zhu Liang also learned how to do professional things and leave them to professionals.
Then, under the command of these old fishermen, the two large boats made a large circle and began to return.
Zhu Liang still ignored this.
Another more than an hour.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Zhu Liang seemed to feel something was wrong.
"Snapped!"
However, before Zhu Liang could react, a black fish with a fishy smell flew directly from a distance and hit his face, causing burning pain.
