My uncle is Zhu Di

Chapter 3 Fighting as soon as you go out, good luck
Xu Huizu and Xu Qin chatted until very late. Xu Huizu was originally going to sleep with Xu Qin, but Xu Qin drove him away, saying that he was not used to sleeping with a man, even if that man was his father.

The next morning, Xu Qin woke up at noon. No one in the mansion woke him up. As for being late for school at the Imperial College? Was that a big deal?
After Xu Qin finished his breakfast, he took a servant with him, who was carrying a wooden box, and prepared to go out.

As soon as I arrived at the front yard, I saw the gate was opened, and then a team of Jinyiwei came in, followed by a young man wearing a dragon robe and carrying an embroidered spring sword.

"Zhu Gaosui!" Xu Qin saw that the person was Zhu Gaosui, the Prince of Zhao. He shouted and rushed over, picking up a short wooden stick from the pile of firewood next to him.

"Shajiabao, I have something to ask my uncle, not to fight with you!" Zhu Gaosui retreated quickly and shouted, "Stop him for me!"

"Get out of here!" Xu Qin didn't care why Zhu Gaosui came to his house, it wasn't important.

"Sakya Bao, I really have something to do!" Zhu Gaosui shouted loudly.

"You dare to come to my house? You put me under house arrest for two months and knocked me out. I will kill both of you!" Xu Qin rushed to the Jinyiwei who were blocking his way. They did not dare to draw their swords and wanted to hug Xu Qin around the waist. As a result, Xu Qin kicked one of them away and rushed out himself. Zhu Gaosui hurriedly ran towards the gate of his mansion.

"I'm not here to settle accounts, uncle, uncle, uncle!" Zhu Gaosui shouted loudly.

But he didn't want to fight with Sakyabao. This guy didn't care about his life in a fight. He wasn't afraid of killing people. He was just a young and ignorant man. His left leg still hurts, and there are scabs on his arm that haven't healed yet.

"Even if the king of heaven comes today, I will still beat you! Will it be useful to call you uncle?" Xu Qin picked up a short stick and chased after him. Zhu Gaosui already had a leg injury, so it was impossible for him to outrun a sixteen-year-old boy.

Seeing that he was about to be caught up, Xu Qin rushed over and kicked him in the back, causing the King of Zhao to stumble and fall to the ground.

Xu Qin raised the stick and was about to hit him, but was held back by the Jinyiwei behind him, who said, "Don't hit him! You must not hit him!"

"Shakyabao, I came to your house for something, not to settle accounts with you. Have I come to settle accounts with you once in the past two months? Can we talk some sense?" King Zhao quickly got up and shouted to Xu Qin. He was a little afraid of this boy.

"I have been under house arrest for two months, while you are having a good time outside! I was planning to go to your house to find you today, but you dare to come to my house? I think you are looking for death!" Xu Qin shouted at Zhu Gaosui.

"I, in that fight, my leg was injured, and so was my arm. You see, they haven't healed yet!" Zhu Gaosui rolled up his sleeves, and he could see a dark scab on his left arm, which was quite scary. Fortunately, Zhu Gaosui was lucky enough to block the blow with his arm, otherwise the knife would have been headed for his head.

"Let go, I must kill you today!" Xu Qin didn't care. There would be a fight as soon as he went out. How auspicious is that?
"Hey, Shakyabao, my cousin, that time it was a misunderstanding, this time I really have something to ask my uncle!"

Zhu Gaosui was helpless with Xu Qin and could only beg helplessly: "You, tell me, how about letting this matter go! Also, let me remind you, I came to see my uncle for my mother. My mother is not in good health. Please don't delay things!"

"Huh?" Xu Qin calmed down when he heard him say it was for Empress Xu.

Empress Xu was his biological aunt, and she loved Xu Qin very much. Xu Qin actually had several older brothers, but they all died young. Therefore, Empress Xu doted on her only child.

"How is my aunt?" Xu Qin asked, staring at Zhu Gaosui.

"Not good! Is it possible to just let this matter go? Last time it was a misunderstanding, I believed other people's slander!" Zhu Gaosui said angrily.

My mother has been in poor health. I just came back from outside the city yesterday evening. After learning that my uncle seemed to have recovered, I went to the palace to meet him early in the morning, and then came here.

"Okay, pay the money!" Xu Qin stretched out his hand to Zhu Gaosui, knowing in his heart what Zhu Gaosui had done.

In fact, my father told me last night that someone would come to his house today and ask how he was cured.

"What?" Zhu Gaosui looked at Xu Qin in surprise. He asked him to pay money. How dare he ask him to pay money? He was in charge of the imperial uniforms and the defense of the capital. He was the one who asked others for money. How dare he ask him for money? But he stretched his hand into his arms and asked, "How much?"

Xu Qin raised a finger and said, "Ten thousand taels!"

"Why don't you go and grab it?"

"I'll kill you and me!"

"I only have three hundred taels, and they're all here. Do you want some?"

"Bring it!"

Xu Qin took the banknote and looked at Zhu Gaosui with suspicion.

"If I don't believe you, just search. Everything you find will be yours!" Zhu Gaosui raised his hands and signaled Xu Qin to search.

"Humph, you're lucky!" Xu Qin put the money in his arms and walked towards the gate, ignoring Zhu Gaosui. "Bandit!" Zhu Gaosui stared at Xu Qin's back and cursed through gritted teeth.

The other Jinyiwei soldiers were very puzzled. Why was King Zhao afraid of this young man?

How could the King of Zhao not be afraid? My favorite nephew is now seriously ill. Last time we had a fight, I had the treasury suspend his salary for half a year. He was so angry that he struggled to get up and hit me. Fortunately, I didn't let go of my anger, otherwise, my father, the emperor who loves his wife but fears her, would have killed me.

Just thinking about it makes the King of Zhao angry. What's wrong with the Zhu family's ancestral tradition? They are henpecked.

Xu Qin was in high spirits and was ready to fight as soon as he went out, which meant a good start!

Soon, Xu Qin arrived at the Imperial College. Those who came to study at the Imperial College were either outstanding students selected from various counties, or those who failed the imperial examination and came here to study, or the children of nobles and court ministers.

Originally, Xu Qin was not qualified to study here, after all, Xu Huizu had been stripped of his title. But his aunt was the empress, and Xu Qin was the empress's eldest nephew and Xu Da's eldest son and grandson.

"Young master, take it!" The servant handed the wooden box to Xu Qin, and the servant could not go inside.

"Yes!" Xu Qin picked up the box and walked inside.

The classes at the Imperial College have all ended, and the students are gathering in groups of three or five. Those who can read gather together to discuss classics and history, while those who cannot read gather together to discuss where to go for fun after the holidays and which girl is pretty by the Qinhuai River.

The Imperial College is a stepping stone for many children of ordinary people, but a torment for most children of nobles. First of all, they can only go home to rest on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. Of course, there will be a few days off on major festivals. As for winter and summer vacations, that's too much to think about.

Moreover, the Imperial College was divided into first, second and third grades. Third grade students studied in the three halls of Ruxing, Xiudao and Chengxin. After studying for a year and a half and passing the assessment, they could go to Zhengyi and Chongzhi halls to study. After another year and a half, they could take the exams. After passing the exams, they went to Guangye hall to study, and then started to accumulate points, which meant taking more exams. Then they were assigned jobs. Of course, most of them went to various counties to serve as teachers.

Another way is to take the imperial examination. Once you become a Jinshi, that’s a different story.

Xu Qin, I have been in the Imperial College for three years and I am still studying in the lower third class! Examination? It doesn't exist, I won't take part!
After all, he was the only person in the entire Imperial College who did not observe the holidays on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month. He climbed over the wall to go home every day. He could come when he wanted to and leave when he wanted to. He could not come if he did not want to.

The gentlemen here pretend he doesn't exist most of the time, but sometimes, it's too difficult to pretend he doesn't exist, because he fights for no reason!
Xu Qin carried the wooden box and walked towards Shuexing Hall. The box contained books, writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone. In the three years since he started studying, he had never opened the box, but he had changed dozens of boxes.

"Brother!" Just as Xu Qin walked inside, a chubby young man in a duke's uniform rushed over like a gust of wind, then sat down and hugged Xu Qin's legs.

"Oh!" Xu Qin looked up at the sky, helpless!
I am just pretending to be stupid. The guy who is holding his legs is really stupid!

"Brother, when you were not here, they bullied me and teased me. Brother, you have to avenge me!" said the fat boy, holding the hem of Xu Qin's clothes and began to wipe the non-existent tears.

The fat boy, whose full name is Xu Jingchang, has the title of Duke Dingguo. His father is Xu Zengshou, who is his fourth uncle, his real fourth uncle!
During the Jingnan Campaign, the fourth uncle informed Zhu Di of the situation, but was discovered and killed by Zhu Yunwen.

After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he posthumously conferred the title of Duke Dingguo on Xu Zengshou, and his eldest son Xu Jingchang inherited the title.

"Who the hell is so bold as to bully you?" Xu Qin looked down at his disappointing cousin.

This cousin is incompetent at anything and is always the troublemaker. If there are fights in the Imperial College, 90% of the time he is fighting for him.

"Them!" Xu Jingchang immediately got up and pointed at the people not far away. These people were all children of ministers and nobles.

At this moment, these people were dumbfounded. They had thought that Xu Qin might not come to the school this time because they heard that he was beaten unconscious by King Zhao. But they did not expect that he would come back two months later.

As for bullying Xu Jingchang, it was just that the kid was showing off. Not to mention that he was a duke, the key point was that this kid was showing off.

Not only did he have the best food and things to use, he was also very rich. Of course, compared to the group of people who came to study there, he was very rich. Every time Xu Jingchang came to school, his family would give him ten taels of silver.

Ten taels of silver are enough for those guys to play by the Qinhuai River for a whole night, but they have no money, so what should they do?

At first they wanted to take Xu Jingchang with them, but Xu Jingchang didn't dare to. If his family found out, they would probably break his legs. After all, Xu Jingchang was only fourteen years old. Then they cheated them, and after cheating them too much, Xu Jingchang quit. But these guys had no money, so they couldn't cheat them. So they changed to threatening and robbing them.

At this moment, the group of noble sons were all moving slowly, and some of them had already picked up the sticks on the ground and became alert.

Xu Qin carried the wooden box and walked towards them.
