Xu Hao and Zhang Xin, who loved the house and Wu, hit it off at first sight, and personally accompanied him to play all over the capital, visited the holy places of Shilin such as Guozijian and Gongyuan, invited Zhou Peng, Xue Wen, Zhao Liang and other friends to visit the Qinhuai River to recite poems and poems, and gathered and drank with Li Jinglong and other brothers at night.

Zhang Xin was very flattered by this, so he devoted himself to Xu Hao, thinking that when he came, his cousin Zhang Fu had talked about Xu Hao, saying that among the young and noble children in the capital today, the most famous are Li Jinglong and Xu Hao, who are far superior to others in all aspects. Compared with Li Jinglong's conceited and high-profile friends all over the world, Xu Hao is the most mysterious and low-key, and he is almost impossible to see on various social occasions.

Xu Hao is famous in the capital for being difficult to get close to, does not like to socialize with people, treats strangers very coldly, has only a handful of friends, but everyone is proud to know him, and there are people in the capital who want to do everything possible to get close but cannot enter. Ordinary friend invitations basically don't give face, especially the so-called poetry party family banquet with impure purpose.

Zhang Fu said with a smile that Xu Hao treats real brothers impeccably, regardless of status and status, no matter what he needs, he will come as soon as he is called, he will definitely treat you warmly for my sake, and sure enough, what Zhang Fu said is true.

I feel that Xu Hao really doesn't like to socialize, because every time he goes out and gets together with friends, a bunch of strangers will inexplicably pop up around, from the sons and daughters of the nobles, the princes and scholars, to the ladies of the Qinhuai Oiran and even the nobles of the royal family, these people have their own purposes, Zhang Xin can see that Xu Hao is very helpless about this, because he doesn't want to disturb the other party too much, and bluntly says that he can write with Zhou Peng, Xue Wen and other scholars.

There is no shortage of smart people who are good at investing in this world, and the benefits of sending charcoal in the snow are always greater than the icing on the cake, if you can make friends in the 'tribulation' when Xu Hao is a grass farmer, then in the future, as Xu Hao is reused by the emperor again, he will naturally benefit immensely.

In Yanwang's Mansion, Xu Hao sat next to Zhu Di with a smile, and outside the pavilion stood Zhu Di's future son-in-law Yuan Rong and Li Rang, two guests of honor. Zhu Di is very satisfied with the abilities and talents of both of them, and intends to arrange for his daughter to marry this year.

Zhu Di was a little emotional, and said: "Unknowingly, your generation is about to get married, and this king is going to be a grandfather." Where do you go from here? Mu Chun just didn't agree with your marriage to Yu Ningxue, but Fuqing was relieved, do you want this king to intercede for you? ”

Xu Hao chuckled: "In the end, the Mu family still dislikes me for not being enough, and marrying Ning Xue to the King of Shu is undoubtedly the most beneficial for the Mu family to run Yunnan, but the Mu family also knows that it is just an extravagant hope, why the saint allows Ning Xue to choose her own son-in-law, is that she doesn't want the Mu family to take the opportunity to divide one side after the marriage between the Mu family and the royal family." ”

"There are frequent rebellions in Yunnan. Mu Ying's father and son are both rare generals who are both civil and military, and they will be very relieved to sit in Yunnan Shengshang. Zhu Di smiled again: "The Mu family also has unspeakable secrets, without the nod of his father, Mu Chunyan dares to make his own decisions to marry Ning Xue to you?" Now that Ning Xue's filial piety period has expired, Fuqing also nodded and agreed to remarry you, and even this king has a headache for you. ”

Xu Hao said: "Don't worry, I have patience when playing against Bixia." I had to ask my uncle to invite my grandmother to go to Peking with him. ”

Zhu Di was shocked in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Are you planning to return to Beijing?" “

Xu Hao said softly: "I have to come back, but the whole family will settle in the north from now on." I think my aunt will be very happy. ”

Zhu Di smiled bitterly: "Your aunt is happy, this king is going to have a headache, I have to give my father an explanation, otherwise this king will not agree." ”

Xu Hao smiled: "What's so difficult about this? My eldest sister wants to get married. Hongye is going to be engaged, the two county lords are getting married, so many happy events are connected together, and they have to live in Beiping for at least a year. When that time comes, how will Bixia care about my family? ”

Zhu Di asked, "What about you?" When are you going to come and help the king? ”

Xu Hao looked at the palace in the distance and said with a smile: "Naturally, after marrying Ning Xue." Bixia En's permission is on the line. ”

Zhu Di nodded and stopped talking, the two sides knew that they would plot tomorrow, for the sake of family safety, Xu Hao had to move his relatives to Beiping in advance, and the sooner the better.

Zhu Di knows very well that if he doesn't agree, Xu Hao will definitely turn his face immediately, even if he uses some excuse to deal with it, with Xu Hao's shrewdness, he will definitely immediately regret the family affairs of the eldest sister and the younger sister, and even choose to stand on Zhu Yunwen's side from now on, at this stage, Zhu Di can't afford Xu Hao's betrayal at all.

No matter what, Zhu Di didn't want to chill Xu Hao's heart, and he was very satisfied that Xu Hao wanted to stay in the capital alone, and the value of Xu Hao, who left the center, would undoubtedly be greatly reduced, and with the Xu family in Beiping, Zhu Di no longer had to worry about Xu Hao's loyalty.

In short, the reality is so cruel, the so-called family affection in front of power is worthless, only the exchange of interests is the most reliable, and the two sides tacitly acquiesce at the moment.

For a while, Zhu Di sighed a little, unconsciously Xu Hao actually had the capital to bargain with himself, thinking that a year ago when he was in Beiping, he did not hesitate to kick him back to the capital and had the intention of sending him to death, at that time he was just an insignificant chess piece.

Once upon a time, Xu Hao not only became his father's confidant, but also became an indispensable existence in the Yan Palace, and he really deserved to be the second Liu Bowen who was personally praised by his father.

After Xu Hao left, Zhu Di sat there frowning and thinking, always feeling that something was wrong, it stands to reason that Xu Hao has always been firmly in control of Jinyiwei, and he has never gone wrong in his official affairs, so why do he lose his official position again and again? Obviously, his father was extremely trusting and partial to him, why did he suddenly use the widow's Fuqing to disgust people?

Zhu Di straightened up and said in surprise: "Could it be that Fuqing is the ghost of that kid himself?" What do you think? ”

I don't know when Yao Guangxiao sat opposite, and nodded when he heard the words: "What the prince expected is not bad, it should be deliberately designed by Xu Hao in order to stay away from Jinyiwei on the bright side, which is equivalent to staying away from the whirlpool of right and wrong." ”

"This matter must have been helped by Wang Ning and his eldest sister." Zhu Di said coldly: "This king understands, he is worried that this king will force him to take risks, and his father will push the boat down the river and not give this king a chance to meddle in the capital." ”

Monk Daoyan said with a solemn expression: "The poor monk always feels that he can't see through Xu Hao, and it seems that he is falling in advance every moment, blocking any possible danger in the first few steps, and not giving anyone a chance to take advantage of it." Whenever he wanted to arrange him to do something, he lost his official position first, which made his subordinates feel unbelievable. Maybe it's the poor monk who thinks too much, that is, a young man who is not deeply involved in the world. ”

Zhu Di said angrily: "Just because he is too smart, smart and self-righteous, as soon as he has the power in his hand, he will be shocked and immediately find a way to get rid of it, and he will be mistaken by being smart." I don't want to think about what I can do with just a few brocade guards? Will this king force him to poison and assassinate? It's all because you have read too much history books, you are right, in the end, you have no talent or are not deeply involved in the world. ”

Monk Daoyan's heart moved, and he said: "He may not have the scheming means to succeed, but he doesn't want to risk his life."

"Xu Hao's loyalty to this king is undoubted, he treats me as a countryman, how can I make him take risks? What will the people of the world think of this king? Don't talk about it again. ”

Zhu Di's brows furrowed, and he said: "Maybe he sensed the threat, he repeatedly wrote several times to remind this king to pay attention to food safety, and when he was leaving just now, he reminded this king to pay attention to the people around him, could it be the death of the second brother?" ”

Monk Daoyan thought for a while and said, "The prince should be careful to take precautions, is it the King of Jin?" In addition, in case of accidents, it is necessary to take the first step to stabilize the Qin Wangfu and the Jin Wangfu, and it is said that the prince also has a close relationship with the crown prince. ”

Zhu Di was silent for a long time, and said with a flickering eye: "This king will inform the third brother of this matter, and this king will discuss with Xu Hao." You continue to visit the presiding elders in various parts of the world, Xu Hao's move is indescribable, and once he gains the support of Buddhism in the future, he will be worth millions of soldiers. ”

Monk Daoyan smiled and nodded, he knew that King Yan would never inform King Jin, as for whether the Jin Mansion and the Qin Mansion would fall to the court after King Jin's death? He wasn't worried at all, because the imperial court's cutting of the feudal domain was not only aimed at the Yan Wangfu, and when the time came, his lips and teeth were cold, and he had to choose to watch the two not help each other for the sake of his own power and wealth.

In front of the Qianqing Palace, Xu Hao squatted in the field to pull out weeds, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who was wearing a straw hat, stroked the green branches and leaves, and sighed: "It's useless to be old, the imperial doctor advised me not to work in the field, since you came, you should make more efforts, so that you can experience the hard work of farming." ”

Xu Hao got up and clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "The minister has realized it since he was sensible, but he should order the nobles of the whole capital to work in the fields, and they urgently need labor reform." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "The drought in the northwest made me unhappy, according to the official report of Fengyang, a large number of displaced people went to Fengyang to pretend to be locals, and the squires from all over the northwest took the opportunity to buy land on a large scale. ”

Xu Hao walked to the emperor's side and said: "I bought all the borderless land in Liaodong, and I want to move more displaced people to fill the border in the future, bixia, you don't know that Liaodong is black soil, the most fertile, but one crop of grain a year is worth two seasons in the Central Plains." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "I have wronged you, I only hope that he Zhu Di will not disappoint me and do a stupid thing of killing my brother, your net worth and life are in his hands, you must be careful." ”

"Yes!" Xu Hao said softly: "Not only the minister, Bixia also has to take care of the dragon body." ”

"Humph!" Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly: "Some people want to die, but it's not so easy. Before going to Beiping, you should first go to Fengyang, and move the displaced people who pretend to be natives back to their hometowns and properly resettle, and I must urge the household department to start to relocate the rich families from all over the world to Beijing, and we must not allow these rich and unkind people to forcibly occupy the land and do evil. ”

Xu Hao said respectfully: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said with some emotion: "King Ning is young and careless, you must always support him in the future, I promised to send 20,000 people to Liaodong to settle down, and go by sea with seeds, farm tools, cattle, etc., and reward you with thousands of farmers, maybe this is my heart for your zuihou."
