"If it doesn't work, let's go ask Big Brother directly!"

After a moment's silence, Zhu Di gave an answer that surprised Xu Miaoyun.

"Fourth brother, what are you thinking?"

"Ask the boss directly?"

"Even the queen mother, who has the best temper, doesn't say anything. If you ask the eldest brother, can he say anything?"

Xu Miaoyun raised objection immediately.

Obviously, in her opinion, the reason why she ended up in this situation was because of the boss.

How can we ask the person involved directly?

But Zhu Di smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"You don't know the relationship between us brothers, nor do you know how the eldest brother treats us brothers."

"Brother has always been open and aboveboard in front of us!"

"Do you believe it or not? If I ask him about the reduction of the feudal system, he will tell me directly that this is what he wants to do for the sake of Ming Dynasty?"

Xu Miaoyun was stunned when she heard this, and there was obvious hesitation on her face.

"Will he admit it?"

Zhu Di smiled and nodded heavily: "Yes, he will not only admit it, but also tell me frankly that he may be able to compensate me in other ways, but he will definitely cut off my fiefdom."

"Because he is a serious person who never jokes about national policy, so he will compensate me from the inner treasury or the private treasury of the Eastern Palace, but he will still do this to reduce the treatment of the royal family!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Di looked out the window with emotion.

"Why are my brothers so convinced that he should be the emperor?"

"It's because he's the eldest brother, so this matter should be his!"

"On the other hand, he did a really good job!"

"It's so good that no one can say anything!"

"Besides him, I don't think anyone else can do this!"

"This world was conquered by my father, and this throne belongs to my Zhu family. Although we cannot become emperors, we are also first-class nobles. So we naturally hope that the Ming Dynasty will become better and better."

"Among all the brothers, the one who can serve the emperor best is the eldest brother!"

"So, according to Big Brother's habit, if I ask him in person, he will definitely give me an answer."

"Even if his parents had told him not to tell the answer, he would still tell me!"

After hearing this, Xu Miaoyun stopped talking.

Although she grew up with Zhu Laosi as a childhood sweetheart, she went to the palace quite often.

But in fact, she certainly didn't know as well as Zhu Laosi about how these princes got along with each other, especially what the eldest brother Zhu Biao's private personality was like.

"Oh, this time, I'll go by myself!"

"This matter can only be discussed between us brothers in private!"

"Even if everyone knows, I will definitely tell you afterwards, but at least everyone should follow the rules when talking about it."

"Miaoyun, how about this? You wait for me at home. I'm going to go outside the city!"

After saying this, Zhu Di was about to leave, but Xu Miaoyun stopped him.

"No, you're going to see your brother, why are you running out of town?"

Zhu Di was stunned when he heard this: "Didn't I tell you that my elder brother and his wife are both recuperating at Hu Weiyong's farm outside the city?"

"Rest?"

"Don't leave in a hurry, tell me about this first."

"When did brother and the others go? Why do I feel like something is wrong?" Xu Miaoyun simply grabbed Zhu Di.

Zhu Di could only stop and say helplessly: "This matter started when Hu Weiyong and his family went to the manor to hide away."

"Then, somehow, my parents also went off somewhere to have some free time for a few days."

"Then it seemed that my father got angry and had a quarrel with Lord Hu, so he had to return to the palace."

"My eldest brother and his friends came over right after that..."

As Zhu Di spoke, he felt something was wrong. He looked at Xu Miaoyun in horror, only to find that his beloved concubine, who was known as the female Zhuge, was also looking at him with amusement.

"Say, why don't you say anything?"

"Have you suddenly discovered the source of this method of prolonging life? Now you don't know how to proceed?"

Zhu Di saw that Xu Miaoyun had made clear what he had just been thinking, and he felt embarrassed to continue pretending to be stupid, so he just spoke frankly.

"I guessed a little, but I can't prove it!"

Xu Miaoyun sneered when he heard this: "What proof do you need for this?"

"Don't you know where your family comes from?"

"It's not some aristocratic family that has been passed down for thousands of years, nor is it some powerful family that dominates a region."

"Is there any other inheritance in your family?"

"Besides, it's not early, it's not late. After going to Hujiazhuang, my father, mother, elder brother and elder sister-in-law all got the method of prolonging life. If there is no secret behind it, do you believe it?"

"The most important thing is that even you don't have this method to prolong your life, but Hu Xinyue, the second Crown Princess, has it. What does this mean? Don't you understand?"

"To put it bluntly, it's because this method was invented by the Hu family!"

Zhu Di stopped talking.

Because this logic is so smooth.

That’s it, Xu Miaoyun hasn’t finished yet.

"Also, don't underestimate Uncle Hu Weiyong!"

"Before he died, my father told me carefully that if I faced a crisis in the future, I should find Uncle Hu and tell him frankly, and then just ask for my life. Then Uncle Hu would definitely keep my family safe for my father's sake."

"Wealth and honor may not be preserved, but the lives of the whole family can definitely be preserved, because Uncle Hu is best at the art of saving lives!"

"You also know how arrogant my father is. He told me so many things before he died. This proves that he really felt that at the critical moment, only Uncle Hu could save our lives!"

After these words were spoken, Zhu Di became even more silent.

He really admires his father-in-law.

Don't just admire the other person's abilities, but also admire their vision and character.

Although he died early due to his bad luck, he still remembers some of the teachings he received.

The most important thing is that he actually agrees with his father-in-law's opinion on Mr. Hu.

When it comes to saving his life, I'm afraid no one in the court is better than Master Hu.

The key point is that he is not the type of person who would run away thousands of miles away and hide to save his life.

Today's Hu Jia is both the son-in-law of the royal family and the Crown Princess, even though she no longer holds any official position.

With younger generations like these around, and contact with all his former disciples and old friends, who would dare to look down on Master Hu?

It can be said that most people didn't even understand it, but Master Hu achieved this kind of accomplishment that was beyond the Three Realms and not within the Five Elements.

Thinking of this, Zhu Di became much more serious and said in a deep voice to Xu Miaoyun.

"Miaoyun, what you mean is that I won't go to Hujiazhuang?"

"Then this matter has nothing to do with us in this life?" (End of this chapter)
