My uncle is Zhu Di

Chapter 149 This is what humans do
When Zhu Di heard what Xu Qin said, he was stunned. This guy actually pretended not to know him.

So he stared at Xu Qin and asked, "Shakabao, you, you, what do you want to do?"

Xu Qin looked at Zhu Di with a confused expression, pretending that he understood nothing.

"Shakyabao, here, I, your brother Wu, we have met many times." Zhu Di was still unwilling to accept that this kid actually pretended not to know him.

"I know my brother Wu, but you are not. Although you two look a bit similar, your temperaments are different. Your Majesty, is there anything you want to ask me to come here this time?" Xu Qin still pretended to be confused.

"No!" Zhu Di was so anxious. Why did this kid play like this? It was clearly one person, but he insisted on saying there were two? They also had different temperaments and looked a little similar? It was clearly him, okay?

"Your Majesty, I have a good relationship with Brother Wu, but he is very busy and it is difficult to find him. If your Majesty has the chance, I will bring him to see you, otherwise you can find Princess Baoqing and let her introduce you." Xu Qin stood there, laughing in his heart. If I let you play like this, I won't know you, what will you do? I can't know him. I complained about him in front of Zhu Di. What if Zhu Di wants to settle the score?
Anyway, he just refuses to admit that he knows Zhu Di, and only knows Mr. Wu.

"Okay, okay, sit down. I know you did it on purpose, but why? I, you said before that I had never seen you and you had never seen me. Tell me yourself, have we met before?" Zhu Di waved his hand, motioning Xu Qin to sit down. Don't be in a hurry, take your time. He didn't even believe it, so how could he lie with his eyes open?
"Yes, my father said that you held me in your arms when you were a child." Xu Qin nodded.

Zhu Di stared at Xu Qin in silence. Is this what he meant?

"Shakyabao, this is meaningless. There are only two of us here, no one else. I don't plan to tell anyone else, so don't hide it. I am Mr. Wu." Zhu Di sat down and said to Xu Qin who was standing there, and then pressed his hand towards Xu Qin again.

Only at this moment did Xu Qin sit down next to him.

"You are really not Mr. Wu, you are Your Majesty, don't lie to me. Mr. Wu is not like that." Xu Qin held back his laughter and continued to speak to Zhu Di.

"I asked Princess Baoqing to come over, but I still don't believe it and I can't prove my identity." Zhu Di couldn't help it, he stood up and prepared to find Princess Baoqing.

Xu Qin heard that something bad had happened. How could he pretend now that Princess Baoqing was here? He could only say to Zhu Di, "It's no use asking Princess Baoqing to come. How dare Princess Baoqing disobey you?"

Zhu Di stopped, turned around, stared at Xu Qin, then sat down next to Xu Qin and stared at Xu Qin.

Xu Qin was frightened by Zhu Di's stare, and he bowed to Zhu Di and said, "Your Majesty, why are you staring at me like this? What's the matter?"

"Shakyabao, I know you are a smart man! But you are making me feel disappointed. Look at the things on the table, they are all delicious food I specially selected for you. Also, you said before that you would help me make money. The things produced by the workshop that you and the prince cooperated with will be handed over to me to sell. Does this count?" Zhu Di sat there, pointing at Xu Qin and said angrily.

"This is what Mr. Wu and I said, so of course it counts!" Xu Qin nodded and said.

Zhu Di looked at Xu Qin speechlessly and wanted to beat him, but he had asked him to come this time to ask a favor from him, so he couldn't beat him. Moreover, if he beat him, the Queen would probably not be able to get past him. The last time he sent the Queen away, she was very angry, and he had to go and beg the Queen, and the Queen had invited Xu Qin to come. He had only been sitting here for a while, so if he beat him himself, the Queen would probably chase him with a long knife if she knew about this.

Xu Qin was very proud when he saw Zhu Di like this. He said, "I let you play with me like this, pretending to be a servant and getting close to me, and letting me say so many bad things about Zhu Di. As an emperor, why don't you stay in the palace and come here to play with children? How can that be okay?"
Zhu Di took a few deep breaths and continued to stare at Xu Qin.

"Your Majesty, why do you keep looking at me like this?" Xu Qin felt numb from being stared at.

"Just wait for me. You don't recognize me as Mr. Wu. Fine, we'll settle it later. I treat you as a friend, but you pretend not to know me. You are so heartless. I even gave you a roast goose. Do you deserve that goose?" Zhu Di sat there, pointing at Xu Qin and said depressedly.

When Xu Qin heard this, his scalp tingled. Why did Zhu Di act like a young wife?

"Now let's talk about serious matters. Going to the Weaving Bureau? The Duke of Wei will be restored. Of course, this is not a condition. Whether you go or not, I will restore your title. However, your father is still imprisoned. As for why he is imprisoned, you can go back and ask your father, and he will tell you. Of course, the Duke of Wei's Mansion will continue to be returned to your family. Originally, the title of Duke of Wei was awarded by my father, and your grandfather is also my father-in-law. I took his title, and when I go to the underworld, I am afraid that the two of them will unite to deal with me." Zhu Di sat there, leaned back, and said to Xu Qin.

After hearing this, Xu Qin nodded. Zhu Di had indeed done this. Historically, Zhu Di did return the Duke of Wei to Xu Qin. However, he later got into trouble and had the title taken away from him. In the end, Zhu Gaochi returned it to him.

In addition, because of Zhu Di, the Xu family had two dukes, the first in the Ming Dynasty besides the royal family. "In addition, your father has been reinstated as a duke, so you are also a military hero. You also know that there is an irreconcilable contradiction between the military heroes and the civil officials in my Ming Dynasty. The civil officials have been suppressing the military generals. Before, Zhu Neng was still able to suppress them a little. Now that Zhu Neng is dead and Zhu Yong has come up, he is no longer able to suppress those civil officials. Other military generals may not be able to suppress those civil officials.

And you, you are smart enough. Until now, those civil officials have not taken advantage of you. Last time, you dealt with those assistant ministers, leaving them with no means to fight back. Therefore, it is up to you to break the impasse in the Weaving Bureau's overseas trade!

I know you love money, so you can take 20% of the profits from the weaving bureau's overseas trade, okay? I'll treat you well, okay?" Zhu Di said, and turned to look at Xu Qin.

Xu Qin leaned back as usual and wanted to cross his legs, but when he remembered that this was the imperial palace, he sat back down.

"Do whatever you want. There are only two of us here. You have no conscience, okay? I wanted to summon you a long time ago, but I was afraid that you would scold me, so I didn't dare. If the Weaving Bureau had not been unable to break the deadlock, I would have thought about continuing to hide my identity and chatting with you. You are capable, and I am not the kind of person who cannot tolerate talents." Zhu Di smiled and waved his hand at Xu Qin.

Xu Qin knew that he could not continue pretending not to know Zhu Di. If he continued pretending not to know him, Zhu Di might become hostile.

"This is what humans do. You hide your identity and try to trick me? And you call me a brother? We are brothers. How do you define your relationship with my father? How do you define your relationship with my aunt?" Xu Qin sat there and said to Zhu Di with contempt.

Zhu Di perked up when he heard this, and immediately sat up straight. He smiled and said, "What does it matter? We can talk about our own things. Besides, no one will know that we are brothers. When no one is around, you can call me Brother Wu, and I can call you Master Xu. How nice is that?"

Zhu Di was very happy. This guy finally admitted it. It was good enough that he admitted it. Other things were easy to talk about. He still hoped to become friends with Xu Qin. This guy was very capable. He talked about arithmetic before and said that he could make firearms more powerful. This made him very excited. In addition, Xu Qin never pretended or acted in front of him. He always spoke the truth.

After he proclaimed himself emperor, Yao Guangxiao no longer dared to tell the truth in front of him, and his elder brother Zhu Gaochi no longer dared to tell the truth to him.

The emperor is truly a lonely man, and he understands it, but he also needs someone who can tell the truth.

Sometimes now, I don't even dare to tell the truth to Empress Xu. Although there is no problem between me and the Empress, there are many things I cannot tell you.

"Bullshit, you're trying to trick me, okay? You dare to say that you don't hold a grudge against me for what I said before?" Xu Qin rolled his eyes and said, thinking to himself, there are no outsiders here anyway, if Zhu Di really wants to deal with me, he doesn't need so many reasons. If he doesn't want to deal with me, then I won't be polite.

When Zhu Di heard what Xu Qin said, he touched his nose.

Xu Qin immediately pointed at Zhu Di and said, "Look, you are touching your nose, and you are lying and feeling guilty. I suspect you have registered everything."

"How do you know?" Zhu Di looked at Xu Qin in surprise. He had actually registered.

"I knew it was something a human would do. Who would have the time to record a grudge in writing?" Xu Qin said, pointing at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di was not annoyed when Xu Qin pointed at him. Instead, he smiled and pointed at Xu Qin and said, "Look at you. You are saying this again. How can this be unnatural? I am over 40 years old. I have experienced so many things. My memory is not good. What's wrong with me recording them in writing?"

"What do you want to do by recording this? To kill me?" Xu Qin asked, staring at Zhu Di.

"No, I might deal with you. I have planned it out long ago. When I have no money, I will use this to threaten you to get some money to spend. If you don't believe me, ask the eldest and third brothers. When I have no money, I will ask them for it, but they are useless and can't get any money. But you can. You can get money." Zhu Di said proudly looking at Xu Qin.

When Xu Qin heard his reasons, he was stunned. Is there such an emperor?
"There's nothing I can do. This time I made a bet with you and I lost 500,000 taels to you. I don't have it, so I can only ask the eldest and third brothers to raise the money." Zhu Di continued to say to Xu Qin.

Xu Qin looked at him, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but no words came out.

"You have to return these five hundred thousand taels to me. I really have no money. After all, you are my nephew, right? It's okay for you to be filial to me!" Zhu Di smiled proudly. Anyway, this kid has money, so it will be right to ask him for it.
