Zhu Gui received Guo Guifei's letterhead, and a wry smile appeared on his face.

It's not that he doesn't want to meet this cheap mother, he also sees what the other party has done for him.

It's just that he feels that now is not the right time to meet Zhu Yuanzhang.

He was originally going to visit the prince Zhu Biao first, with the other party's foreshadowing, even if he provoked Zhu Yuanzhang with any dissatisfaction, there was a high probability that there would be no trouble.

But in the face of his biological mother's ardent expectations, he could only rearrange his itinerary.

That night, he didn't have time to stay at home for one night, so he took Xu Miaoqing to Xu's mansion.

This made Xu Miaoqing a little surprised, why was Zhu Gui more eager than her?

Zhu Gui had no choice but to tell her his considerations, and Xu Miaoqing also expressed her understanding when she heard this, after all, she is now the acting princess.

Xu Guogong didn't expect Zhu Gui to come to the house to visit that night, which was inconsistent with etiquette, but after thinking about it, this was something Zhu Gui could do.

So he asked people to arrange a family banquet, although several children were not at home, but it was enough to give Zhu Gui face.

Zhu Gui didn't care about this, and as he had discussed with Xu Miaoqing before, he sent more than a dozen boxes of yellow and white things sent to him by Huang Ming to Xu Mansion.

Xu Guogong can be regarded as a person who has seen the world, but he usually refuses to accept gifts, but this time since it was given by the king in the name of Xu Miaoqing, he can't say anything.

It's just that he muttered in his heart, is it so profitable to do business?

It turned out that after Xu Guogong learned about the situation of Datong Mansion from Xu Yingxu, he had been paying close attention to the situation in Datong Mansion, and even sent someone to visit Datong Mansion secretly.

And he also got some situations that he cared about very much, and even if he built a road to promote the school, this salt selling and the Chamber of Commerce would be a bit interesting.

And now it seems that the business is bigger than he imagined?

It's just that Xu Guogong didn't ask much.

This family feast can be regarded as a good meal, and nothing unpleasant happened.

After the meal, Mother Xu called Xu Miaoqing to her room to talk.

And Zhu Gui was invited to the study by Xu Guogong.

There are only two sons-in-law here.

However, nominally, the status of the acting king is one level higher than that of Xu Guogong, so he does not sit behind the bookcase like he usually greets.

"Acting King, my father knows a little bit about the situation in Datong Mansion, did someone secretly guide you to do those things?"

Obviously, Xu Guogong is very concerned about the situation in Yunzhou and is sure.

However, in his opinion, it is obviously impossible for Zhu Gui, who is only fourteen years old, to be able to do all this, so there must be someone behind him to guide him.

It's just that the people he sent didn't find this master, and none of the people who came with the king this time looked like a staff member.

At the same time, Zhu Gui's performance at the family banquet was almost the same as that before he left Nanjing, so Xu Guogong asked this question.

Zhu Gui naturally understood what this father-in-law was thinking.

He smiled faintly and said: "In fact, General Xu has a lot of help in Yunzhou, Miaoqing's family education is very good, and it also gave this king a lot of inspiration. ”

Xu Guogong obviously didn't believe Zhu Gui's high-sounding words, he stared at Zhu Gui for more than ten seconds, but this young man was always calm and composed, which was simply not commensurate with his age.

In the end, Xu Guogong sighed and said: "The children raised by the prince himself, they still know how their virtue and ability are, but the change of the acting king is always good, and the acting king doesn't want to say anything more, but on the emperor's side, the acting king still needs to observe more words and feelings, and don't anger Long Wei again." ”

This is the only thing Xu Guogong is worried about Zhu Gui.

The scene of Zhu Gui's last visit to the court before leaving Nanjing is still vivid in Xu Guogong's mind.

Zhu Gui nodded and said: "In the past half a year, this king has learned a lot, and he will no longer be willful." ”

Xu Guogong nodded and said: "This is very good, if the acting king has other ideas, you can discuss with this prince first, and this guild will speak to the emperor." ”

"Thank you, father-in-law."

……

This trip to Xufu was very smooth for Zhu Gui.

That night, he was able to rest in Xu's house, while Xu Miaoqing was always by Xu's mother's side.

Early the next morning, Zhu Gui explained the situation to Xu Guogong, and then got into a carriage and went to the Imperial Palace.

Although there is an edict from the emperor and the concubine, and he is a prince himself, the investigation along the way is still inevitable.

After an hour, Zhu Gui finally met the crown prince Zhu Biao in the imperial study.

"Brother to meet the prince." Zhu Gui bowed heartily to Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao walked over and patted Zhu Biao on the shoulder a few times.

"Okay, you thirteenth brother, those things you did in Yunzhou have all been reported to Nanjing, if it weren't for the palace for you, maybe you would have moved by now."

Zhu Biao said with a smile.

"Thanks to the prince's kindness." Zhu Gui said with a smile.

"Okay, it's all your own family, don't say that awkward words, by the way, your private tax reform in Yunzhou, this palace has given you a bet, you must not say it in front of your father." Zhu Biao whispered.

Zhu Gui suddenly realized, no wonder he did not mention the matter of Yunzhou's taxation in the second twist, but it was the prince who bet on him.

Zhu Gui was a little moved in his heart, this crown prince can do this level, I am afraid it is also very rare in history.

"My brother wrote it down." Zhu Guidao.

"Okay, sit down and talk to this palace, what is the basis for those policies you have in Yunzhou? What is the current situation and how did you come up with it? ”

Zhu Biao is also a person who is eager to seek talents, but he is entangled in government affairs, he rarely has time to go to the people to inspect, and can only understand the impact of some policies on the local area and the imperial court by correcting the local songs.

And obviously, during most of the six months, things about Yunzhou are what he is most concerned about.

For the first time, Zhu Gui had the feeling of meeting a confidant, and he was grateful for what Zhu Biao had done for him, as well as the pity for the other party's fate in his heart, so he opened his heart and talked with the other party.

In fact, Zhu Gui was very sympathetic to Zhu Biao's fate, and even he had the idea of changing the fate of the other party through the system.

Zhu Biao died of illness due to overwork, and if he was cured of his physical problems, with his benevolent character, I am afraid that he would become a good emperor no less than the Yongle Emperor.

But Zhu Biaosi gave up this idea after thinking about it.

The main reason is that he doesn't dare to bet, he knows that Zhu Di is a good emperor because of historical references, but he doesn't dare to bet on the situation after Zhu Biao ascends the throne.

So he knew that this was the most favorable direction for the development of history, but he still inevitably felt guilty about Zhu Biao.
