Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Guo Xiaoke thought of those founding heroes like himself and felt that he was still lucky.

But although luck is luck, caution is also essential, especially for someone like King Ji who has no bottom line.

Guo Daizhao was completely shocked by Guo Xiaoke's words. His father actually dared to comment on the emperor in this way. It was a crime of great disrespect to make irresponsible comments about the emperor.

What had provoked his father? He was actually talking nonsense.

He turned around and found that he and the steward were the only ones there, so he winked at the steward.

The steward understood and came to the door, opened it, looked around, then turned back and shook his head at Guo Daizhao.

Then he closed the door again.

"Father, please don't say this again. If someone outside hears it and reports it to the court, His Majesty will punish you."

Guo Daizhao dissuaded him nervously.

"Don't worry, I know this. I say this to let you know how serious this matter is and how dangerous Prince Ji is.

Prince Ji had a strange personality since he was young. He never got along with anyone and all the ministers in the court had been scolded by him.

After growing up, he was favored by His Majesty and became even more arrogant and looked down on everyone.

Today, among the five surnames, only the Li surname is still intact, while the others are in decline, all because of the hands of this young prince.

He dared to hit an official appointed by the imperial court, he dared to have lightning strike the homes of two prime ministers, and he dared to lead his troops to attack the Prince of Jin's mansion, seriously injuring the Prince of Jin.

If it happened to any other prince, even if he was not punished, he would be stripped of his title. But what about now? Prince Ji is still Prince Ji.

You have grown up now. If you go to Chang'an to work in the future, I hope you will remember what I said today."

Guo Xiaoke told his son earnestly that in the future Guo Daizhao would inherit everything from him, including his title.

He didn't want his son to ignorantly provoke people he shouldn't provoke.

Guo Daizhao then understood why his father said this to him. It turned out that his father was worried that he would accidentally offend Prince Ji when he entered the court as an official in the future.

"Don't worry, Father. I will remember your teachings and will definitely not provoke King Ji."

Guo Xiaoke nodded.

"Go ahead and do what I told you to do. Invite Wang Hongfu here tomorrow morning."

Guo Daizhao and the butler bowed and retreated.

Guo Xiaoke looked at Prince Ji's letter again and murmured:

"I hope that's what you mean."

.......

The next morning

"Manager Wang, everything is ready. We can set off at any time."

The guard squad leader reported to the emperor after seeing Wang Hongfu.

"Thank you, Captain Sun. Has the person sent to report the news left?"

Wang Hongfu promised Ashina Liang yesterday to report to Prince Ji and let Prince Ji make the decision, so he wrote a letter and asked the guards to send it back.

"We set out yesterday afternoon, traveling day and night. After we pass through customs, we will have our newspaper contact point, so we will be able to travel faster."

The guard squad leader replied.

“Well, that’s good, I’ll make some arrangements, and this place will be closed as well.

It’s winter now, so there’s nothing to do.”

Wang Hongfu felt relieved.

As long as His Royal Highness Prince Ji said the word, they could ask Ashina Liang to escort them back to Chang'an.

"Shopkeeper Wang, the steward of the governor's mansion has arrived and asked Shopkeeper Wang to go to the governor's mansion."

At this time, Kumu came in to report.

"Oh? Here we go again. It seems that the content of the letter from Prince Ji to Guo Xiaoke is not simple."

Wang Hongfu smiled slightly. He didn't know what was written in Prince Ji's letter.

However, Guo Xiaoke came to him again today, which must have made Guo Xiaoke very scared.

"Kumu, tell the young master that I'm going to the governor's mansion. We'll set out after I come back. Let Qiao'er get ready, too."

Wang Hongfu gave an order and then walked out.

When I arrived at the front hall, I saw the steward of the governor's mansion.

"Meet Shopkeeper Wang."

"Meet the butler."

"Manager Wang, our envoy asked Manager Wang to come to his house, saying that he has something important to discuss."

The butler said politely.

"Well, let's go, don't keep the envoy waiting for too long."

Wang Hongfu nodded in agreement and followed the steward.

On the way, Wang Hongfu wanted to ask the steward what the governor wanted to see him about, but the steward only said that the governor would tell him in person.

There was no way, so Wang Hongfu didn't ask any more questions.

When he arrived at the governor's mansion, Wang Hongfu was invited to the study.

Along the way, Wang Hongfu always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Walk through the front hall and go to the study.

"Your Excellency, Shopkeeper Wang has arrived."

Standing at the door, the butler reported.

The creaky door was opened and Guo Daizhao walked out.

"Manager Wang is here, come in quickly."

Today, Guo Daizhao seems more enthusiastic.

"Hello, young master."

After paying his respects, Wang Hongfu followed Guo Daizhao in.

Guo Xiaoke was sitting there with tea already prepared.

"I have met the envoy."

"Haha, Shopkeeper Wang, come quickly. I have already made some tea. Shopkeeper Wang is leaving today, so we will use tea instead of wine to send him off."

Guo Xiaoke laughed out loud.

"Your Excellency is too polite, but I am terrified.

Thank you for your hospitality, sir. I will tell His Royal Highness Prince Ji the truth after I return."

Wang Hongfu bowed and said.

"Haha, Shopkeeper Wang, don't be so unreasonable. I have admired His Royal Highness Prince Ji for a long time.

After I return, please ask Manager Wang to take me to pay my respects to His Royal Highness Prince Ji.

Please sue His Royal Highness Prince Ji. Please rest assured that Prince Ji's assets are in Anxi, and Guo will pay special attention to them.

If you have any questions, please come to the Governor's Mansion to find me, and I will do my best to help you."

Guo Xiaoke laughed. What he wanted was Wang Hongfu's attitude. He had already expressed his goodwill to the Prince Ji's Mansion.

He hoped that Prince Ji would show leniency and not pursue his corruption.

"Don't worry, sir. I will definitely convey your message to His Royal Highness Prince Ji."

Wang Hongfu had a smile on his face.

Then Wang Hongfu took a sip of tea and continued to ask:

"My Lord, I am leaving today. Is there anything else you want me to do?"

"Alas~~~" Guo Xiaoke sighed. "Manager Wang, I am so ashamed."

"Why do you say that, sir?" Wang Hongfu asked.

"Manager Wang, to be honest, a group of officials just came to surrender, saying that they took money from Wang Wencheng.

Although they did not do anything for Wang Wencheng over the years, they ignored him and even gave him convenience in some things.

For many years they deliberately concealed Wang Wencheng's evil deeds, deceiving his superiors and subordinates, and even I, the governor, was kept in the dark by them.

It's simply a heinous crime.

After they learned yesterday that you had captured Wang Wencheng, they all came to the governor's residence early this morning to apologize and returned all the money they had taken.

Shopkeeper Wang, please have a look. "

Guo Xiaoke took out an account book and handed it to Wang Hongfu.

After Wang Hongfu took it and opened it, he saw the name, official position, and the amount of gold, silver, jewelry, and copper coins returned written on it.

"Envoy, this is......?"
