My uncle is Zhu Di

Chapter 162 I can’t bear it anymore
Zhu Di sat there and could only wait for Xu Qin. At the same time, he also hoped that Xu Qin knew that he had the final say on the personnel arrangements of the Weaving Bureau, and that he would not be angry or refuse to do his job, otherwise, he would be in trouble.

After Xu Qin woke up and finished his breakfast, he slowly walked towards the palace. When he arrived at the guards, Xu Qin continued to ask the guards to take him away. Although Xu Qin was granted a title, there was no order from above, so they could only search him. Xu Qin didn't care. It was better to search him to avoid trouble if something happened.

"My Lord Earl, when I go back and see my godfather, I will tell him that you must not be wronged. I will ask him to mention it in front of His Majesty." The young eunuch who came to pick up Xu Qin said to Xu Qin in a flattering manner.

Xu Qin smiled and waved his hands, saying, "Please don't do that. I appreciate your kindness, but forget about this matter. It would be better to search me. Please don't ruin my good deeds."

"Ah, good news?" The eunuch looked at Xu Qin in confusion and said.

Xu Qin nodded and said, "Good thing, you don't understand, I won't explain it to you, let's go."

"Yes, the Earl has a far-sighted vision, which is beyond my understanding. Please!" Although the eunuch did not understand, he still listened to Xu Qin.

Soon, Xu Qin arrived at Kunning Palace. The young eunuch went in to report and came out not long after. He said to Xu Qin, "My Lord, His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are waiting for you in the Imperial Study."

"Okay!" Xu Qin nodded.

When Xu Qin arrived at the imperial study, he found that there were not only Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi, but also six or seven civil officials. Xu Qin did not care and went over to pay his respects to Zhu Di first to express his gratitude. After Zhu Di said that the situation had been resolved, Xu Qin paid his respects to Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochi also smiled and said, "Stand up."

"How dare you, Xu Qin! You made His Majesty wait for almost an hour. How arrogant are you? Are you worthy of the title of Earl of Haozhou? I think you are a wolf from Zhongshan. You become arrogant when you succeed!" Before Xu Qin could speak, a cabinet official stood up and shouted at Xu Qin. Xu Qin didn't know him, he really didn't know him. It was Xie Jin who accused Xu Qin, and the other five officials glared at Xu Qin.

Xu Qin was confused. He was scolded before he could say anything, so he looked at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di was also stunned and hadn't said anything yet. However, according to the rules, Xu Qin said "Stand up" when he expressed his gratitude.

When Xu Qin looked at Zhu Di, Zhu Di finally reacted and scolded, "Xie Jin, what are you doing?"

Xie Jin bowed to Zhu Di and said, "Your Majesty, this boy is uneducated. Not only did he come here to tell you, but he also dared to look directly at your Majesty. How arrogant! If you don't punish him severely today, who knows what kind of trouble he will cause in the future. Perhaps one day, he will even plot treason."

"Oh my god, I can't stand it!" When Xu Qin heard him say this, he didn't say a word. He actually said that he would commit treason. He was not in a good mood. Xu Qin rushed over and kicked Xie Jin. Xie Jin didn't expect that Xu Qin dared to hit him here. He was completely unprepared, and Xie Jin was kicked out by Xu Qin.

No one reacted during the whole scene. By the time they reacted, Xu Qin had already kicked Li Jin several times.

Zhu Di reacted first and immediately shouted: "Quick, quick, hold him!"

The imperial guards and eunuchs guarding the imperial study all came out and hugged Xu Qin. Even so, Xu Qin rushed out once more and kicked Xie Jin. Yang Rong and others also hurried over and supported Xie Jin who was lying on the ground. Xie Jin was badly injured this time.

Hu Guang pointed at Xu Qin and shouted, "How dare you, a man without any education, to beat someone in the imperial study."

When Zhu Gaochi saw this scene, he got a headache. What was going on? A fight broke out in the blink of an eye. Who could have thought of this?

"Your Majesty, was this arranged by you? If you don't want to give it to the earl, then that's fine. I didn't ask for it either. But you gave it to you and you still do this? Isn't that too boring?" Xu Qin stopped there and asked Zhu Di.

Xu Qin could only think like this. He hadn't done anything, didn't say a word, but was scolded by others? He was also accused of treason. Xu Qin could only think that it was arranged by Zhu Di.

Zhu Di stared at Xu Qin with a depressed look on his face. He regretted very much that he had let Xu Qin meet with the cabinet members.

"Shakabao, don't talk nonsense. My father didn't make any arrangements. Didn't you realize that all this happened too suddenly?" Zhu Gaochi immediately pulled Xu Qin and said.

"No, I don't know him. Who is he? Oh, yes, His Majesty just said, Xie Jin, the great scholar Xie? No, I didn't offend you? I didn't steal your wife, really, I really haven't touched your wife." Xu Qin said seriously, staring at Xie Jin who was lying on the ground and glaring at him.

When Xie Jin heard this, he was so angry that he pointed at Xu Qin and was speechless.

"Xu Qin, don't be so arrogant. You openly assaulted an adult in front of His Majesty. Do you still have His Majesty in your eyes? Do you still have the laws of the court? Your Majesty, I want to impeach the Earl of Haozhou for openly assaulting a minister of the court. Please ask the Ministry of Justice to punish him." Yang Rong stood up at this moment and bowed to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di was very troubled, thinking that he would not be willing to let these civil officials do anything unless they did something wrong.

However, even though Zhu Di was troubled, he just sat there stroking his beard and watching the scene below indifferently.

Xu Qin stared at Yang Rong and asked, "Who are you? Do you want to be beaten too?"

"You dare!" Yang Rong said angrily to Xu Qin.

Just as Xu Qin was about to rush over, Zhu Gaochi hugged him and shouted at Yang Rong, "Say less, he's so daring!"

"Brother, please let me go. Are you bullying a child? I just entered the imperial study and you started scolding me without saying a word. What do you want to do?" Xu Qin shouted at Yang Rong and the others. "You are here to thank me today, why are you late?" Hu Guang stared at Xu Qin and shouted.

"Is it required to come early?" Xu Qin asked Zhu Gaochi in return.

Zhu Gaochi thought about it, shook his head and said, "No!"

"Did you hear that? There are no rules!" Xu Qin shouted at Hu Guang.

Hu Guang was also stunned, and then pointed at Xu Qin and shouted: "If you don't come earlier, it means you don't respect His Majesty and don't take His Majesty seriously."

"So, by making so much noise in front of His Majesty, you are respecting His Majesty and taking His Majesty seriously?" Xu Qin retorted, and in an instant, the entire imperial study fell silent.

Everyone looked at Zhu Di.

"Go on, go on. I also want to see the fun and see the officials of the Ming Dynasty scolding in the streets. How interesting it is." Zhu Di said to them with a smile. Anyone could see that Zhu Di was very dissatisfied.

"How can we fight and quarrel in the imperial study? Ah?" Zhu Di said as he stood up.

Xie Jin also struggled to stand up and bowed to Zhu Di, and the others did the same.

"This is outrageous. Someone, come and call the imperial physician to check on Xie Jin. Everyone, wait outside." Zhu Di shouted at them.

All six cabinet ministers bowed in greeting.

But Yang Rong was still unwilling to give in, and he bowed to Zhu Di and said, "Your Majesty, Xu Qin should be severely punished."

"Why? Is this how you scholars are? As the sage said, it is the greatest thing to admit one's mistakes and improve upon them. I haven't done anything wrong. I came late and no one told me to come earlier. Why are you punishing me?" Xu Qin shouted at Yang Rong.

"This!" Yang Rong was stunned by this sentence.

"You are a scholar, but you don't understand this. What's the matter? Did I dig up your ancestral graves or steal your wife? You are targeting me like this? Okay, you wait." Xu Qin stopped there and shouted to Yang Rong and the others.

"Your Majesty, he threatened us." Yang Rong immediately bowed and said.

"Hey, can you please say less? If you don't think about yourself, you should also think about your wife and children. You know what kind of reputation Sakya Bao has in Yingtian Prefecture. Do you really want your family to be homeless?" Zhu Gaochi hurriedly persuaded Yang Rong.

At this moment, the six of them thought of Xu Qin's bad reputation. This guy would set fire to several houses every year. Moreover, the houses he burned were all owned by officials, who were much higher in rank than them, but he was still fine. Thinking of this, their faces changed drastically.

"Cousin, why are you reminding them? Just let them talk. I will kill them one by one outside the palace." Xu Qin stood there, staring at several cabinet members viciously.

"Shakyabao, you are not allowed to set fire to their mansion. I will not punish you today, and the same goes for you. Get out!" Zhu Di stopped there and said to them.

"Your Majesty, I don't accept it!" Xu Qin immediately shouted loudly.

Zhu Di looked at Xu Qin with a headache.

The other six people were also staring at Xu Qin. He actually refused to accept the consequences. He had beaten someone and came late, yet he still refused to accept the consequences.

"Why don't you accept it?" Zhu Di had no choice but to look at Xu Qin and say.

"What's wrong with me being late? I was busy until very late last night and just finished writing the memorial for the Trade Bureau. What's the problem with waking up a little late? Besides, they attacked me indiscriminately. I suspect they have ulterior motives and are deliberately banding together to sabotage the establishment of the Trade Bureau." Xu Qin pretended to understand nothing and pointed at the six of them.

The six people were so frightened when they heard this that they immediately saluted. Yang Rong explained, "Your Majesty, that's not true. We are angry because Xu Qin disrespected Your Majesty."

"Nonsense! His Majesty knows that I get up at this time every morning, so why would he blame me?" Xu Qin shouted at them.

When the six of them heard this, they stared at Zhu Di.

"Well, Sakya Bao did get up very late in the past. Plus, I asked him to write a memorial for the Trade Bureau these days, so it's normal for him to get up late. Sakya Bao, are you fully awake?" Zhu Di said, looking at Xu Qin and asked.

"No, I was woken up by my maid. She said that several groups of people had come to the palace and insisted that I get up. Your Majesty, can you summon me in the afternoon next time?" After Xu Qin shook his head, he made a request.

The six cabinet members looked at Xu Qin in surprise, then turned to look at Zhu Di.
