My uncle is Zhu Di

Chapter 124 Old things
Zhu Gaochi was stunned when he heard Zhu Di's words. Go and ask for it yourself? Is it useful to ask for it yourself?

"If you don't ask for help, who else can you ask? Huh? The Weaving Bureau is managed by your wife, and my Ministry of Revenue is managed by you. I am out of money, should I ask you for help? If you don't ask for help and make things easier for yourself, then when I ask you for money, you will say you have no money? I have a cousin here who can make money, why don't you go to him for help?" Zhu Di stared at Zhu Gaochi and continued to scold him.

"I, I, I!" Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Di in bewilderment. What kind of logic is this, Dad? Don't you know to spend less? Don't ask me for money every day?
"What do you mean by "me"? I tell you, the next time the Weaving Bureau goes out to sea, it must be completed within one month. Don't delay it any longer. If you delay any further, it will cause more trouble!" Zhu Di said to Zhu Gaochi with a dark face.

Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Di with a depressed look on his face, cupped his hands and said: "It's useless for me to beg for help. There's no benefit. This guy won't do it!"

"Then give him some benefits!" Zhu Di said, staring at Zhu Gaochi.

"What benefits?" Zhu Gaochi asked again with a bow.

"Think about it yourself!" Zhu Di waved his hand and said.

Zhu Gaochi was very depressed. What he said didn't count. He wanted to return the Duke of Wei to his uncle, but you refused. You let Xu Qin become an official and gave him money, but he didn't need it.

"Dad, how can I give him money, official position, and Sakyabao if he doesn't want them?" Zhu Gaochi asked again.

"Can't you think of a solution yourself? He is your cousin! Don't you two have a good relationship?" Zhu Di said, staring at Zhu Gaochi.

"This!" Zhu Gaochi was speechless. What's the use of having a cousin? He has so many cousins. Li Zhuang is also his cousin and nephew, but you don't pay much attention to him!
"Go find him yourself and ask him to help you at the Weaving Bureau!" Zhu Di said seriously to Zhu Gaochi.

"Yes, Dad, but I will go to talk to Sakya Bao. Can you give me some conditions?" Zhu Gaochi asked with a bow, feeling very depressed.

"You can give him any official position and money you want. If he is willing, he can even be the commander-in-chief of the Central Army Commandery. Ask him if he dares to go?" Zhu Di said to Zhu Gaochi. When Zhu Gaochi heard this, he felt relieved that his father was moved. Before, his father would never have given Sakyabao such a high position.

Soon, Zhu Gaochi left the greenhouse and stood at the gate of the Qianqing Palace. Zhu Gaochi turned his head and looked at the gate of the Qianqing Palace with contempt, then shook his head and sighed, thinking to himself: "If you have the ability, go ahead. You are the one who offended the person, arrested him, imprisoned my uncle, and stripped him of his title. Now, you want me to beg? Will it be useful if I beg?"

After returning to the East Palace, Zhu Gaochi sat on the chair and sighed. What can I do? Is Xu Qin so easy to talk to? This kid is very smart! He is the kind of person who will not release the eagle until he sees the rabbit.

The Crown Princess also happened to see Zhu Gaochi like this, so she walked over and asked, "Why do you always act like this after seeing your father? Did your father scare you again?"

"What do you think? Eh!" Zhu Gaochi glanced at Zhang and sighed.

"What problem has your father given you now?" Zhang sat down and asked Zhu Gaochi while staring at him.

"Well, what else could it be? Today, those cotton merchants opened up their supply because of what Shakyabao said, saying that the Weaving Bureau would no longer ship cotton fabrics to the sea, but only silk fabrics. Those cotton merchants were so scared that they immediately shipped their goods. Dad saw the hope of the Weaving Bureau going to sea, so he asked me to go over.

What do you mean by "my wife is in charge of the weaving bureau, and you can't even do a sea trade, how will others see you then? What do you mean by this?" Zhu Gaochi said, spreading his hands, not knowing how to evaluate his father in front of his wife.

"This, this, how does this have anything to do with me? It was Sakyabao who chose not to go to the Weaving Bureau. Moreover, at the beginning, at the beginning, wasn't it because my father arrested Sakyabao that made Sakyabao unhappy? This, this, can you blame me for this?" Zhang looked at Zhu Gaochi nervously when she heard this.

Zhu Gaochi waved his hands helplessly and said, "My beloved, I am not blaming you. He wants to torture me. These are all excuses my father made up to torture me. He asked me to ask for help from Sakyamuni? How can I ask? My father knows that it is useless to order me to do this. If I don't go, I still feel guilty. Otherwise, why don't I have a temper when Sakyamuni doesn't come to see me for such a long time?
If in the past, Shakya Bao dared not to come for such a long time, and did not come to pay New Year’s greetings during the Spring Festival, I would have to punish him. Do you think I dare now?

My father knew that it was no use for me to go, so he started to bother me, asking me to go, but how could I go and how could we negotiate? Shakyabao had helped me so much, I couldn’t just tie him up and bring him here, could I?
It's useless to tie him up. What's the point of him not doing anything? Hey, my father, he saw that I was living a comfortable life recently. He had almost spent all the money and wanted to go to war again. He was worried that I would stop him from going to war because he had no money. So he made such a plan for me. Don't I know him? "Zhu Gaochi knew very well why Zhu Di did this.

"What should we do then?" Zhang looked at Zhu Gaochi worriedly.

"What else can I do? I have to go. Not going won't work. I don't know whether it will be useful or not. Besides! He caused the trouble himself and now I have to clean up his mess!" Zhu Gaochi continued to complain.

"Don't say such things!" Zhang immediately reminded Zhu Gaochi.

"Okay, okay, what are you afraid of? I'm hoping that dad will give me a good beating, don't let me take this job!" Zhu Gaochi said angrily. He was annoyed. He was asked to handle the things that his parents couldn't handle? Isn't this cheating? Zhang sat there, thinking, and asked after a while: "Why do you think Sakyabao is unwilling to help dad and mom? Is it really because of the title? Logically speaking, Sakyabao has also had many fights, and the queen mother helped him to get out of it before. This time he was just in jail, and he was wronged for a day. The cell at the back is even more comfortable than home. No matter how resentful Sakyabao is, he can't say that he won't continue to help the queen mother, right?
Moreover, the Queen Mother also told Shakya Bao that Duke Wei would definitely return to their home!

Also, you said that the emperor doesn't trust my uncle, but my uncle has been imprisoned for more than five years and has not interacted with those generals. Sakyabao is just a child. Do you think the emperor doesn't trust Sakyabao? Or does Sakyabao know that the emperor doesn't trust him, so he is unwilling to help? "

"Well, there are many things you don't know. It's not a big deal, it's just that dad and uncle don't get along!" Zhu Gaochi looked around. In fact, the study was already closed, and there was no one inside, but Zhu Gaochi still said in a very low voice: "They have been at odds since they were two years old. I heard that my uncle looked down on dad and said that my dad was not worthy of my mom, and then the two of them fought when they met.

You know, my maternal grandfather and my grandfather were as close as brothers, so my uncle was also quite fierce when he was young. He fought with my father, but my father never won. The two of them had been stubborn for decades, and neither of them would give in.

Actually, nothing happened to my uncle, but he refused to surrender to my father because of this. My father got very angry. Plus, at that time, my father needed to stabilize the political situation. He was worried that someone would use my uncle's status to continue to cause trouble. He was also worried that my uncle would not accept and continue to cause trouble. So, he simply deprived him of his title and imprisoned him!
My eldest uncle is also stubborn. He knelt in front of my grandfather's spirit tablet and asked my father to sentence him to death. Do you think my father dared to do that? In this way, the two of them have been stubborn for five years and are still stubborn. In my mother's words, the two of them must not meet each other. If they meet, they will definitely fight in less than half an hour! "

"Well, that has nothing to do with Sakya Bao!" Zhang said to Zhu Gaochi after hearing this.

"It's okay, but, well, forget it, I won't tell you. There are other things involved that I can't tell you. Anyway, my father is very suspicious and he's possessed!" Zhu Gaochi originally wanted to tell Zhang about Zhu Yunwen, but after thinking it over, he decided it was better not to tell her.

"If the emperor knew about what you said about him, he would definitely scold you," Zhang said, glaring at Zhu Gaochi.

"Will he not find ways to scold me someday?" Zhu Gaochi waved his hand indifferently, then sighed. When he thought about going to find Xu Qin, he became worried. How could he talk to him?

"Then you go and talk to Shakyabao and ask him to help you instead of your father, okay?" Zhang suggested to Zhu Gaochi.

"Don't talk nonsense, Shakyabao is not stupid!" Zhu Gaochi waved his hands and said, it was useless to say this.

"Ah!" Zhang also sighed when she heard it.

In the evening, Zhu Gaochi learned that Xu Qin had returned home, and immediately left the palace and went to Xu Huizu's residence.

After paying his respects to Xu Huizu and Li, Zhu Gaochi went straight to Xu Qin's courtyard. Shiyue immediately went into Xu Qin's study to report.

Xu Qin had just put away the drawings when Zhu Gaochi came in and saw Xu Qin just getting up from his desk.

"What are you doing hiding in the study?" Zhu Gaochi came in and asked Xu Qin with a smile.

"What can you do just lying there? Cousin, is there something wrong?" Xu Qin asked with a smile, and went to make tea for Zhu Gaochi.

"Yes, about the cotton merchants, you spread the word that the court will not sell cotton at that time?" Zhu Gaochi found a seat and sat down, looking at Xu Qin and said.

Xu Qin smiled with his back to Zhu Gaochi, knowing that they would definitely look for him, but he did not want to get involved too much, so he nodded and said, "Yes, I said, to scare them, but with the current situation of the Weaving Bureau, it is estimated that there is no way to go out to sea.

I heard that it’s not just cloth, but also workshops producing porcelain, tea, decorations, and daily necessities, all seem to be running out of stock, and I heard that prices are still rising in the market.”

"Eh!" Zhu Gaochi sighed when he heard Xu Qin say this.

Xu Qin pretended not to hear.

"Shakyabao, can you help me?" Zhu Gaochi thought for a while and said to Xu Qin.

Xu Qin pretended to be very surprised, turned around, looked at Zhu Gaochi and said: "Cousin, are you trying to trick me again? I'm telling you, I've been very honest, and your family can't just trick one person!"
