My uncle is Zhu Di

Chapter 146 Zhu Di Wants to Meet Xu Qin
Zhu Di said that he wanted to invite Xu Qin to the palace and wanted the empress to come forward. After hearing this, Empress Xu stared at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di knew that Xu Miaoyun was waiting for conditions, so he continued, "I am planning to restore Xu Huizu's title of Duke of Wei. However, for Xu Huizu's safety and the stability of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Huizu still needs to be confined. Of course, the Duke of Wei's Mansion also needs to be returned to Xu Huizu.

In addition, Shakyabao also needs to go to the Weaving Bureau to preside over the trade. In order to let this guy concentrate on working in the Weaving Bureau, my idea is to give Shakyabao 10% or 20% of the profits of the Trade Bureau. Of course, if there are other conditions, we can also agree to them. "

Empress Xu stopped what she was doing and began to think about Zhu Di's conditions. After a while, she said, "Not enough!"

"What else is needed? As long as we can get Sakya Bao to go to the weaving bureau, it will be fine." Zhu Di asked immediately. Zhu Di always believed in the Queen's words. This has been verified over the years. The Madam is more capable than himself in handling such matters.

"Yun Gong is a duke, but he is confined at home, so Baoer needs to be sent to work in the Five Military Commandery, and it must be a real position, or he can go to the Three Camps in the capital to work." Empress Xu said as she sat there.

Zhu Di immediately replied: "Of course."

After saying this, he continued to look at Empress Xu.

Empress Xu sighed and continued, "I am worried that the conditions you mentioned will still be difficult to impress Shakyabao, so you also need to consider it yourself. In fact, what Shakyabao said before was right. He has everything he needs, so why should he do those things?

He did those things and offended the civil officials. Now, even without the title, Baoer is living well. His family is rich, and with me as his aunt, no one dares to bully him. So your conditions may not work. You should think about it yourself. "

Zhu Di also sighed: "I know, didn't I come to find you?"

Empress Xu rolled her eyes at Zhu Di and asked, "What were you doing so early?"

Zhu Di smiled and then sighed. He knew that Empress Xu had a way.

"Tomorrow, I will invite Shakya Bao to the palace. It's up to you whether you want to see him or not. Baoer and I need to talk, and I also want to know what the child thinks. We were indeed sorry for him for what happened before. No matter what his father did wrong, the child is not wrong.

The incident of going to the imperial prison was framed by the civil officials. They just wanted to alienate the relationship between you and Sakya Bao, and they did it. Sakya Bao really doesn't trust you anymore. It's very difficult to regain his trust. This child is very smart. "Empress Xu continued to speak.

After hearing this, Zhu Di nodded. He knew that those civil officials were doing it on purpose and were still doing such things.

I will let him into the palace tomorrow. It has been so long. If I let him into the palace, he won’t dare not come.

"That's fine. This kid is afraid of you. If you summon him, he won't dare not come." Zhu Di smiled and said as soon as he heard what Empress Xu said.

"Well, has the 500,000 taels been delivered?" Queen Xu asked.

"What do you mean five hundred thousand taels? Oh, you mean the money that Sakya Bao spent on his test. Just ask the boss and you'll know." Zhu Di said weakly. This time the game was a bit big.

"Your Majesty, it's okay. Not only did you spend all the money earned by the Weaving Bureau last year, but now you are starting to mess with the eldest and third brothers? And you're betting so big? Five thousand taels of silver for one question? Fortunately, my Sakya Bao won. If my Sakya Bao lost, are you going to make my Baoer go bankrupt?" Empress Xu stared at Zhu Di and cursed with gritted teeth.

"How is that possible? This guy is rich. Besides, he won and I lost. I lost badly!" Zhu Di immediately retorted.

"Hmph, it seems that we need to cut down on the expenses of the Qianqing Palace. Now you have money to gamble, and you bet so big!" Empress Xu stared at Zhu Di and warned.

"Hehe, it's just once in a while. Mainly to confirm whether Sakyabao is really capable and whether there is a master behind him. No need to try again in the future. This is really the last time. Besides, I am also trying to trick the third brother. You don't know, this kid the third brother is collecting money outside. He collects a lot, and this is not okay." Zhu Di explained to Empress Xu with a smile.

When Empress Xu heard Zhu Di mention the third son, she also frowned.

Zhu Di immediately said: "This third brother is quite courageous!"

"What courage does he have? He just knows how to take advantage of the power of others. This kid just likes to take advantage of small gains and likes to show off his intelligence. If he stays in the capital, it's fine. If he is sent to the countryside, he will probably be a disaster. You should teach this kid a lesson." Empress Xu continued. "I asked him to pay 250,000 taels this time to teach him a lesson. If he dares to continue to collect money, I will punish him." Zhu Di immediately explained to Empress Xu.

"Well, this child has been like this since he was young, trying to be clever. Never mind, it's not serious, just ignore him. But you also need to warn him not to take money indiscriminately. When the time comes, those ministers will impeach him, and you will have no choice but to deal with him. Besides, we are protecting him now, but when the eldest son becomes the emperor in the future, it will be impossible for him to be protected like this, and it will be even more impossible for the second son to protect him like this. He must be upright in his conduct and work!" Empress Xu sat there and said to Zhu Di.

"Well, you should also teach this child. Forget it, let's not talk about him. Anyway, the money will be given to Sakya Bao by the boss. Now it's up to me to decide whether to meet this child and in what way to meet him. In addition, you also know that Sakya Bao does not trust me. It is difficult to gain his trust." Zhu Di sat there and said to Empress Xu.

"Take it slow. If you continue to do what you did before, I think it will be difficult for you to gain the trust of this child. I know this child is very opinionated. Once he makes up his mind, it will be difficult to change it, just like his father." After hearing this, Queen Xu sat there and said with a wry smile.

"I thought so too. Why can't I be like Xu Huizu and be like you?" Zhu Di nodded. Empress Xu glared at Zhu Di fiercely.

Zhu Di smiled and said nothing more.

"I will summon him to the palace for lunch tomorrow. It's your business whether you want to see him or not. But I still want to see my nephew." Queen Xu said.

"Okay, you say more good things and ask other questions to see what this kid is thinking. But he is really smart, very smart. Looking back now, I guess we were all fooled. This kid forced me to pay attention to him step by step." Zhu Di leaned back and said to Empress Xu.

Empress Xu looked at Zhu Di, hoping that he would explain himself clearly.

"It all started with asking for an imperial edict. I felt that this guy was calculating all this, including the cloth business. With so many weavers doing nothing, I had to think of a way out. Then I proposed going out to sea for trade and making money. He also knew that the court needed money and I needed money.

He knew that I would definitely do this, and he also knew that those civil officials would oppose it. Now, I still need to ask him, and I have to give him the Duke of Wei in advance. If this is the case, this child is too smart. "Zhu Di said with emotion, he really had this doubt.

"Humph!" Empress Xu laughed when she heard this, and then said, "You think too much. My Bao'er probably didn't think that far. She just forced him to do this step by step."

"Impossible, how could they force him?" Zhu Di said in disbelief.

"It's true that he didn't have money to do business. All those looms were made with 10,000 taels of silver. Later, you forced him to find a solution, so he proposed to go out to sea for trade. Sakyabao did it, but you were tricked by those civil officials and arrested him. What does this have to do with Sakyabao?
It looks like Sakyabao planned it in advance, but in fact, all of this is coincidence, including the fact that you yourself could think of there would be such rumors outside, saying that Sakyabao and Zhu Yunwen were colluding. It was you who said it. I guess this news was released by the third brother, who knew that you had such concerns about Sakyabao.

Once this rumor came out, those civil officials took advantage of it, so in the end, things turned out like this. I had thought about it before, and after some analysis, I found that my nephew was indeed wronged. From the beginning, this child didn't think about anything else, just wanted to make money, and when he made money, he would buy houses nearby to expand his father's mansion. "Empress Xu explained.

Zhu Di listened and thought about it carefully. After a while, he nodded and said, "You are right. I thought too much. Hey, the third brother needs to be dealt with. This kid is a bad guy."

"Okay, is there anything else? If not, then get out. You are not welcome here. You dare to send me away and bully my nephew. I guess you will do the same thing in the future." Empress Xu immediately looked at Zhu Di with a bad face.

"It's okay. I'll stay in Kunning Palace today. There's nothing we can do about what happened last time. You know if you were in the palace, Sakya Bao wouldn't dare to come!" Zhu Di said with a smile. He was thick-skinned anyway, so there was no need to hide anything in front of his wife.

As for Xu Qin, after he woke up in the afternoon, Mu Feng told him that someone had come from the palace and the Queen asked Xu Qin to go to the palace for lunch tomorrow.

Xu Qin was stunned when he heard the news, and then immediately went to the front yard. His father and mother were not there, so Xu Qin could only go to the construction site to find his father.

"Are you awake? Go to the palace tomorrow, your aunt is looking for you." Xu Huizu said to Xu Qin.

"Dad, can I go? This time I'm going to probably talk about that matter." Xu Qin said to Xu Huizu with a smile.

Xu Huizu looked at the workers working in the distance, stroked his beard and said, "Go ahead, let's talk. Anyway, this matter will be discussed sooner or later. You haven't been to the palace for a while. If you don't go, your aunt will really send someone to arrest you at home. I might be in trouble, so you better behave yourself."
