My uncle is Zhu Di

Chapter 126 Test
Xu Qin pushed Zhu Gaochi out of the study and didn't want to say more to him. As for whether they suspected him, he didn't want to think about it. He didn't have time to think about it. His family was building a house now, and the glass needed to be taken out as soon as possible.

Besides, the cotton problem has been solved now. If those people don’t sell silk to me at that time, I’ll deal with it then. I won’t consider it now because I don’t have time!
But Zhu Gaochi didn't think so. He was very excited because the current situation showed that there was no master behind Xu Qin. Since there was no master, then everything would be easy.

Soon, Zhu Gaochi arrived at the Qianqing Palace. Zhu Di saw Zhu Gaochi coming and looked up. Zhu Gaochi bowed to him. The father and son also understood each other tacitly. Zhu Di stood up and walked to the back room, and Zhu Gaochi followed immediately.

When they arrived at the back room, Zhu Di sat down, looked at Zhu Gaochi and asked, "Did you get what you asked for?"

"Dad, no, Sakya Bao said that he would not go to the Weaving Bureau. He said that he couldn't afford it. Even if he is fine now, when something happens to him, those civil officials will immediately gang up on him. Dad might deal with him then. So, he would rather die than go." Zhu Gaochi stood there, bowing to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di frowned, feeling a little regretful inside, but more of hatred. He hated those civil officials. If the civil officials had not intervened, none of these things would have happened last time.

"As for Jiang Zuoxin and the others, let the Ministry of Justice decide on the punishment as soon as possible. They can be executed immediately, but they are not afraid of being spared. In addition, as for those princesses, especially Princess Daming and Princess Nankang, let them all return to their husband's hometowns and live there, deprive them of their titles and demote them to commoners! The other princesses will be dealt with separately." Zhu Di said angrily. Zhu Di hated them for interfering in this matter and making himself in a difficult position.

"Dad, even if we handle it this way, Sakya Bao will not be in charge of the weaving bureau!" Zhu Gaochi said while looking at Zhu Di and bowing.

Zhu Di nodded and said sternly: "We must deal with it, too. Kill one to warn the rest!"

"Yes, Dad!" Zhu Gaochi responded with a bow, then hesitated for a moment.

Zhu Di saw that he was hesitant. After all, they were father and son, and Zhu Di also knew Zhu Gaochi's character, so he asked, "What else?"

"Dad, Sakya Bao asked me to invest 200,000 yuan to start a glass workshop together. I don't know what glass is, but he said it looks like colored glaze and crystal. I think my current money is also earned by Sakya Bao, so I want to invest in it and see. I guess I won't lose money!" Zhu Gaochi said very carefully. Zhu Gaochi needed to make this matter clear to Zhu Di. You can't hide it from him, or you don't know how your dad will scare you then.

"Well, two hundred thousand, so much? The previous ones didn't cost that much money, right?" Zhu Di said while staring at Zhu Gaochi.

"Yes!" Zhu Gaochi said with a bow.

"Well, then you make your own decision. Since Shakyabao is looking for you, you should go." Zhu Di waved his hand and said, not wanting to say more. He was thinking in his mind how to let Xu Qin come out to manage the weaving bureau.

Finding a queen is useless, forcing is useless, using money and power to seduce is useless, and giving the Duke of Wei back? Zhu Di sat there thinking.

I do want to, but many things have not been clarified yet. Besides, Xu Huizu is still going against me. If I give him the title and continue to imprison him, it will probably be a troublesome matter.

"Dad, I just looked at the drawings that Sakyabao drew for me. I couldn't understand them, but Sakyabao said that he drew them all by himself. In addition, those spinning machines, looms, and dyeing machines were all drawn by Sakyabao himself. Everyone in the mansion knows this. Moreover, Sakyabao also said that except for those complicated things, he knows everything else, from astronomy to geography!" Zhu Gaochi said carefully while looking at Zhu Di.

After all, Zhu Di had previously suspected that there was a master behind Sakyabao, but now the evidence proves that there was no such person behind Sakyabao. If there really wasn't, then it would be a slap in Zhu Di's face. As his son, he had to be careful. If his father lost face, he might punish his son. He didn't want to be scared by Zhu Di again.

The scare this time hasn't even passed yet, and it's coming again? My heart can't take it!
"Hmm?" Zhu Di stared at Zhu Gaochi and smiled. "Do you believe it? He knows everything about astronomy and geography. Even an old monk doesn't dare to say that. How dare he say such a crazy thing?"

"Dad, I believe it a little!" Zhu Gaochi stared at Zhu Di and said cautiously.

"Did you see him drawing? He said he drew it, so it was he who drew it? Boss, don't look at things superficially, it's easy to be deceived, especially you and me, be more careful, think more, and be more suspicious, that's right! Since ancient times, emperors have always been lonely. Why are they lonely? You know it!
Once you sit in that position, it is doomed. It doesn't hurt to think more about everything! It's easy for those people below to deceive you, or even for them to deceive you together. If you trust others so credulously, you will be in big trouble, and even the world will be turned upside down! "Zhu Di sat there and taught Zhu Gaochi. For Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Di would teach him the art of being an emperor.

"Yes, Dad, but today I went to him and asked him to draw a picture for me, but he refused and said that I didn't trust him. Finally, he said that if it really didn't work, I would give him some arithmetic problems to do. Each problem would cost one thousand taels. It didn't matter how difficult the problem was, he would do it for me on the spot. If there was a problem he couldn't solve, he would compensate him with ten thousand taels!" Zhu Gaochi stood there, looking at Zhu Di and said.

Zhu Di stood up at this moment and looked at Zhu Gaochi: "Really?"

Zhu Gaochi nodded.

Zhu Di put his hands behind his back and started walking quickly in the small room. Zhu Gaochi knew that his father was moved. In fact, his father also hoped that there was no expert behind Xu Qin, but he was also worried that if Xu Qin really had no expert, then his father would be embarrassed. All the previous precautions and tests seemed ridiculous. His father could not accept it.

Zhu Di suddenly stopped and pointed at Zhu Gaochi and said, "Tomorrow, you invite him to the East Palace and let him do the questions there. I will go to find the questions myself. I will hide in the dark and watch Sakya Bao do the questions. You arrange the affairs of the East Palace and don't let Sakya Bao know that I'm there too." "Yes, Dad, I'm afraid it's just a waste of time to invite him to the East Palace?" Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Di with embarrassment.

Zhu Di stared at Zhu Gaochi and said, "What are you afraid of? I don't care what method you use. Invite him to the East Palace tomorrow to do the test. One thousand taels is too little for you. Five thousand taels, I will pay for it! Doesn't this kid love money? If you can't hire him with a small amount of money, then pay a large amount!"

"No, Dad. Money is one thing. But he is afraid to come to the palace. He is afraid that my mother will look for him. Dad, he is hiding from my mother now. He is afraid that my mother will talk to him about the Weaving Bureau." Zhu Gaochi reminded Zhu Di.

Zhu Di thought it made sense, so he sat there stroking his beard, and then said to Zhu Gaochi: "I will go and persuade your mother not to go to the Eastern Palace. You give a guarantee to Shakya Bao that your mother will not go to the Eastern Palace. No, this kid won't agree. If you do this, I will arrange for your mother to go out of the palace to pray for blessings tomorrow."

"Dad, that's fine, that's fine!" Zhu Gaochi nodded quickly upon hearing this, and Xu Qin dared to come to the palace.

"Go find Sakya Bao tomorrow. After you go out, send someone to find the third brother. The third brother is a bastard. He betrayed his father!" Zhu Di said to Zhu Gaochi while gritting his teeth.

"Ah?" Zhu Gaochi thought, this, this won't do. He had just finished talking with his father, and then he sent someone to find the third brother. The third brother would think that he said bad things about him in front of his father, and would definitely make trouble for him.

"Go quickly!" Zhu Di stared at Zhu Gaochi and said with great dissatisfaction.

"Dad, this hasn't been verified yet. You, you, should you ask the third brother tomorrow?" Zhu Gaochi said carefully while looking at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaochi and then cursed, "Get lost!"

"Hey, Dad!" Zhu Gaochi heard it and knew it was okay. He didn't need to call him the third brother. As for being scolded, it was just a small matter. He would be scolded every day.

After Zhu Gaochi left, Zhu Di sat in the small room and thought for a moment, then came out. However, he did not stay in the imperial study, but went out!
Early the next morning, Zhu Gaochi went to the imperial study to deal with memorials, and Zhu Di was also there.

When Zhu Di saw Zhu Gaochi coming, he frowned and said to him, "Don't you have something to do?"

The other civil officials also looked at the father and son in confusion.

"Dad, not so fast!" Zhu Gaochi immediately knew what was going on and said with a bow.

"Why not so fast? Go find Sakya Bao, go quickly!" Zhu Di waved his hand and said to Zhu Gaochi. When the civil officials heard this, they were shocked. They didn't know why Zhu Di asked Zhu Gaochi to find Xu Qin?
They lost the battle of cotton, but they had not completely lost. After all, summer was coming, and silk was the top priority. Xu Qin couldn't say that the Weaving Bureau would not even allow silk to be exported to the sea, right? Then how could the Weaving Bureau go to sea? The Weaving Bureau's going to sea would be completely untenable, and their civil officials would also oppose it.

"This, is, Dad!" Zhu Gaochi thought, okay, since Dad said so, I can just go to my uncle's house and wait for Sakya Bao to wake up, and take a break.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue has several memorials that need to be approved as soon as possible!" Xia Yuanji immediately stood up and said to Zhu Di.

"Your Majesty, the several memorials requesting funds from the Ministry of Works also need to be approved as soon as possible." The Minister of Works Song Li also stood up and said.

"Don't be in a hurry for just one or two days. The Ministry of Revenue doesn't have much money now. We need to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Go ahead!" Zhu Di knew what they meant, but still waved his hand at Zhu Gaochi.

It was only then that Zhu Gaochi realized that his father wanted to trick Sakya Bao!

So he looked up at Zhu Di, who still had no expression on his face.

Zhu Gaochi was so worried. If his father did things like this, wouldn't Sakya Bao hate him to death?
What does dad think?
Zhu Gaochi didn't understand at all and wanted to say something, but Zhu Di glared at him fiercely. Zhu Gaochi didn't dare to speak and could only bow and turn away.
