Guo Huanzhi's task was originally to remind the little prince and let him be more restrained, so that the interests of the Guo family would not be lost.

Although the Guo family was able to gain a foothold in Nanjing City by virtue of the identity of 'imperial relatives', this identity also became their confinement.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to avoid the phenomenon of 'foreign relatives messing with politics', 'national relatives' like the Guo family were not allowed to be officials.

And the only prince born to Concubine Guo Hui, that is, Zhu Gui, was not likable in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, which also made the Guo family decide not to contact the acting king, so as not to be implicated.

If it weren't for Guo Huifei hearing some rumors and sending someone to find the Guo family patriarch overnight, the other party might not have come forward.

After all, Concubine Guo Hui is the pillar of the Guo family, and it is impossible for them to pretend to turn a blind eye to her words, so there is the matter of Guo Huanzhi coming to the palace of the king.

Guo Huanzhi was originally uninterested in this matter, and he didn't think that the Dai Wangfu had the ability to compete with the other three major families.

Not to mention that the national policy of the Ming Dynasty is standing there, even the prince cannot disobey the emperor's ideas, let alone the acting king who is still disliked by the emperor.

His original plan was to just finish what he had to do and leave as soon as possible.

But he didn't expect the words of the little prince in front of him to make him stunned.

"Lord Wang, is this true?"

Guo Huanzhi asked subconsciously in disbelief.

"This king is a prince, will he lie to you? Besides, you were sent by this king's mother, right? Concubine Hui's love for this king, you should know something, right? ”

Zhu Gui said lightly.

Guo Huanzhi lowered his head and thought about it for a while, feeling that there was really nothing wrong with the other party's words.

It is said that mothers are more expensive than children, but this situation is reversed when it comes to the king.

In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang did not punish Zhu Gui for his evil deeds, and a large part of the reason was because of the joint intercession of Concubine Guo Hui and the crown prince Zhu Biao.

"The prince is far-sighted, this is what the grass people didn't expect, it's just empty words, does the prince have a specific plan?"

Guo Huanzhi held back the gradually excited mood in his heart and asked carefully.

If it is really as the king said, the other three major families can be overthrown, then the Guo family will be able to control the circulation of goods in the entire Nanjing City, not limited to the Guo family's existing grain and rice business.

The profit difference is very large.

"Naturally, there is a plan, but you have to wait until you can bring the backstage relationship of the other three families to this king, and this king can tell the truth, how about it?"

The acting king stared at Guo Huanzhi and asked.

The age difference between the two is more than doubled, but the confident eyes still made Guo Huanzhi's heart turn over a huge wave, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It is worthy of the blood of the Zhu family, the tiger father has no dog son, no matter how bad the reputation of this generation of kings was, but the ability is far beyond that ordinary people can match." ”

Thinking of this, Guo Huanzhi immediately agreed, and then got a fan with a jade pendant from the acting king as a token, and then secretly left the acting king's mansion under the arrangement of his subordinates.

It's just that the news that the people of the Guo family went to the Dai Wangfu still reached the ears of the patriarchs of the three major families.

Although they are a little disdainful of the little prince (for now), after all, the other party is still a child in their eyes, and it is impossible to compare with them, old foxes who have been in business for many years.

But it would be different if the Guo family was involved, after all, the backstage of the Guo family was the favored Concubine Guo Hui in the palace, which could influence the emperor's thoughts.

So the representatives of the three families gathered again urgently.

This time, instead of greeting and talking nonsense like the last time, they directly decided to increase the offensive, regardless of the cost, to completely drive the forces of the Acting Wangfu out of the Nanjing business world before the Guo family got involved.

But no matter how fast they are going, it will take until the next day's morning to show the matter to the emperor in the court.

And Zhu Gui entered the palace shortly after Guo Huanzhi left.

There was a little eunuch and two guards who were in charge of this matter and took him all the way to the East Palace.

The scene is similar to when I came yesterday, and there is still chaos in the East Palace.

Zhu Gui pulled a little eunuch and inquired carefully, only to learn that it was because the prince's condition did not improve, and Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and had executed dozens of palace maids, eunuchs and imperial doctors.

This is still under the condition that Zhu Yunwen tried his best to dissuade him, otherwise there would be no one available in the East Palace now, and they were also temporarily transferred from other places.

But also because of the lessons from the past, these people are also very frightened, and there have been several recent cases of palace maids escaping and even hanging themselves.

This made Zhu Gui sigh, but he couldn't do anything about it.

When he entered the East Palace, he saw Zhu Yunwen kneeling in front of the sickbed to serve Zhu Biao and wipe his body.

These were supposed to be things to be done, but the twelve-year-old boy was very skillful in doing it, and his expression was also meticulous, not at all like he was pretending.

This made Zhu Gui feel a lot of emotion.

He stood at the door until Zhu Yunwen was busy before he walked in, and then took a handkerchief from his subordinate and handed it to Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Yunwen wiped his sweat and saluted Zhu Gui: "Thirteenth Emperor Uncle, I've kept you waiting." ”

"It's okay, Yun Wei, you're doing well, but you still have to pay attention to your body and don't get tired."

The two will be similar in age next year, but Zhu Gui looks like an 'old-fashioned' person, and unconsciously puts up an elder shelf in front of Zhu Yunwen.

"By the way, is the prince still sleeping?"

Zhu Gui walked to the side of the bed, looked at Zhu Biao, whose face was getting paler and paler, and then asked Zhu Yunwen.

"My father woke up once in the middle of the night, drank only some soup and fell asleep again." Zhu Yunwen said with a gloomy face.

Zhu Gui sighed in his heart, he silently opened the system bar and found the pill column, there were indeed many miraculous pills in it.

He believes that only one can make Zhu Biao recover, but in this case, I am afraid that there will be serious interference with the direction of history, and his long-cherished wish is likely to only become Nan Ke's dream.

Zhu Gui struggled for a while before retreating from the house.

He was really worried that staying in front of Zhu Biao's bed for a while longer would change his mind.

"By the way, Yun Wei, let's go to the imperial study and let the imperial uncle see what books you have." Zhu Biao said to Zhu Yunwen, who was still a little melancholy.

Zhu Yunwen glanced back at the house, as if he didn't want to leave here.

Zhu Gui pulled him and walked out: "You are not a doctor, you will get sick all the time in the house, and the prince doesn't want to see you like this, right?" Don't forget your identity, you should care about the world, Uncle Huang will tell you how to govern the world today. ”

Zhu Yunwen was finally pulled by Zhu Gui to the door of the imperial study.
