Chapter 952: Favor

Ye Chunqiu decided to go to the Duke of Wei's Mansion to thank him. Now it has passed early spring and the spring is getting more full. The old trees are full of new branches, adding a touch of green to the capital.

There were still figures in the capital, and Ye Chunqiu arrived at the Duke of Wei in a crane cart, and then delivered a famous letter to the door of the Duke of Wei.

This Duke of Wei, Xu Fu, was the descendant of Xu Da's eldest son Xu Zuhui. The Xu family's power was extremely powerful when Emperor Wen was Emperor Wen. Even now, he is the top wealthy family in the world, even less than the vassal kings.

Ye Chunqiu, the new Duke of State, seemed to have the same title as theirs, but in fact it was still a few levels away. There were six Dukes in the world, and the Xu family occupied two, one Duke of State, and the other Duke of State Ding. It had a hundred years of operation and had a great influence.

It is precisely because of this that almost all the major events in the world are from the Xu family. When Taizu founded the country, Xu Da also saved this family fortune for the Xu family because of his outstanding achievements. During the rebellion of Emperor Wen, some people supported Jianwen, and some people followed Emperor Wen's rebellion and Tumubao, the children of the Xu family rested with the country. During the War of Defense of Beijing, the children of the Xu family also fought to the death with the Oirat people in Beijing.

The Duke of Wei, who served several times in the Xu family, has always been guarding Nanjing, but the Duke of Wei is an extremely smart person. Although he was guarding Nanjing, he placed all his family in the capital. Perhaps it was precisely because of this prudence that the palace has always trusted the Xu family.

The one who came out to greet was not someone else, but Ye Chunqiu's old acquaintance Xu Pengju. Xu Pengju is now the commander-in-chief of Jinwu Guard. In his early twenties, he is already a senior military officer in his personal army. He did not take office today. As the grandson of Duke Wei, he is the master of the Xu family in Beijing.

When they remembered the past, they couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when they met. Fortunately, Xu Pengju had learned a lesson in the past and dared not "pretend to be" in front of Ye Chunqiu. People will always grow up. Moreover, he used to face a scholar and then a new top student, but now he is facing a duke who is on the same level as his ancestors, so his tone is very gentle and he will not howl like before.

After entering the main hall, everyone sat down with the guest and host, and Ye Chunqiu first thanked him.

Xu Pengju said, "Oh, this matter was the one whom I came forward. I just passed on my behalf and asked someone to send a letter to ask my father. The father replied, saying that some land was nothing. Since Your Majesty was interested, the father was willing to match it. Moreover, I have heard of the name of Duke Zhenguo for a long time. I also said that I had met with Duke Zhenguo several times before, and I only had some lands, but it was a gift to meet him."

Ye Chunqiu was infected by the heroic spirit of the Duke of Wei. In fact, when he was in Nanjing, he did not have much good impression of the Duke of Wei. Such a noble person would never take him as a small show at that time. Now, this mere meeting gift is the land of half a town in later generations. Ye Chunqiu was also impressed by this heroic spirit.

Ye Chunqiu of course knew that this was a favor. Since the Ye family had a title of a noble family, although it was far from Duke of Wei, as long as the Ming Dynasty was still there, the Ye family would gradually penetrate into all aspects of the Ming Dynasty. Although it might not be as good as the Xu family, the Ye family was not sure of a favor.

Ye Chunqiu said, "Grandfather, I was indeed lucky to meet him. Today I will receive his kindness and will repay you in the future."
