Chapter 517: I Want to Hear Your Opinion
Zhu Youlang was taken to Nanjing and temporarily imprisoned in the Imperial Prison.
After all, he has a special identity, and he is a nobleman. Before he was abolished, he was the pro-vassal king of the Ming Dynasty. This is an indisputable fact.
Therefore, Ying Tianfu is not qualified to detain him, and the Criminal Department is not qualified to detain him. Thinking about it, only Jinyiwei is qualified to detain a prince.
After all, Jin Yiwei is directly responsible for the Son of Heaven and does not need to be subject to too many constraints.
However, Jin Yiwei did not immediately interrogate Zhu Youlang.
They interrogate prisoners in a variety of ways, some of which are used to get prisoners to speak.
But it's still that problem, Zhu Youlang's identity is special, and everything they did before the Son of Heaven opened his mouth was wrong.
Although Zhao Xin, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, was a confidant of the Son of Heaven, he didn't want to be taboo in this kind of thing.
The heart of the monarch is unpredictable. In case the Son of Heaven is angry with him because of this matter, it will be too worthless.
Of course, everyone already has a basic understanding of Zhu Youlang's ending. Now it's just a matter of waiting for the Son of Heaven to say a word.
At the same time, Zhu Cihong, who was in the deep palace, was also worried.
King Gui's matter is really a bit tricky.
Although he committed the crime of rebellion, he was Zhu Cihong's cousin after all.
If Zhu Cihong directly kills Zhu Youlang, it will inevitably give people the opportunity to chew his tongue and say that he is mean and unkind.
But if Zhu Youlang is not killed, the problem will be even more complicated.
Throughout history, there is no reason why those who plot rebellion do not die.
If Zhu Youlang didn't die, wouldn't he tell those ambitious people that even if the rebellion failed, they would not have to worry about their lives, wouldn't that encourage unhealthy tendencies?
Zhu Cihong was in a dilemma.
It's just that he can't discuss this kind of thing with his courtiers, after all, it's a royal family affair.
Thinking about it was really annoying, Zhu Cihong simply stopped thinking about it, but decided to go to see the queen and the crown prince.
Whenever he is upset, he always feels better when he sees Tongtang and Yuan'er. The prince, in particular, is already babbling.
Although he can't be called his father yet, his cute appearance is really lovely.
This is Zhu Cihong's first child, and the significance is extraordinary.
He was destined to inherit the throne in the future and inherit the ancestral country.
Therefore, Zhu Cihong attaches great importance to it.
Before arriving at Kunning Palace, Zhu Cihong signaled not to make a noise and walked into the palace lightly.
Before arriving at the main hall, the queen had not yet found out. Zhu Cihong decided to surprise her.
He walked slowly into the hall, came behind the queen without making a sound, and then gently patted Tongtang on the back.
The queen was embroidering at the moment, and was startled by this shot and exclaimed.
When she was still wondering who dared to be so bold, she turned her head and saw that it was Zhu Cihong who sneered and laughed.
"Why did Your Majesty come, I don't know if you will be a concubine."
Zhu Cihong smiled and said, "I want to surprise the queen." ”
Tongtang frowned and said: "I'm shocked, I'm not happy." ”
Zhu Cihong coughed and said, "It's not right that I did it." The queen punished me. ”
It was rare for Zhu Cihong to take the initiative to joke with her, so Tongtang smiled and said: "Then Your Majesty will help the concubine to be a female celebrity." ”
"Female red?"
Zhu Cihong couldn't believe his ears.
How can there be a dignified king of a country who does female red embroidery in the palace. If this is spread, won't it make the Manchu Dynasty civil and military laugh off their big teeth?
"No, this absolutely not."
Zhu Cihong waved his hand again and again.
"Your Majesty has just said that let the concubine punish you. Now that the concubine has said it, His Majesty will not admit punishment..."
"Hmm..."
Zhu Cihong was speechless for a while.
That's exactly what he said, and it's really a bit inappropriate to regret it now.
"Your Majesty has no jokes!"
Tongtang narrowed his eyes with a smile.
"Okay, I'll embroider it for you. But only this time. ”
Zhu Cihong sat down, picked up the brace with one hand, and twisted the needle with the other.
However, because I really didn't know how to start because I really didn't have any experience.
Seeing this, Tongtang hurriedly stepped forward and pointed: "Your Majesty wants to transport needles and wires like this." ”
Tongtang personally stepped forward to demonstrate, and Zhu Cihong came by her and carefully observed on the side.
To be honest, he has never paid attention to female red, and he can't imagine that there are so many doorways in the seemingly simple embroidery. It's really a matter of learning.
"Your Majesty, do you want to try it?"
Tongtang felt that the demonstration was almost over, and smiled at Zhu Cihong.
Zhu Cihong coughed and said, "Forget it, I'm not a female celebrity." ”
"Since Your Majesty is here, stay longer, come on, bring the crown prince."
The queen commanded loudly.
After a short time, the nurse brought the prince Zhu Heyuan from the side hall.
The little prince had just woken up and was very energetic. After seeing Zhu Cihong, he waved his little arms excitedly and babbled.
"Brother is good, call me father."
Zhu Cihong stepped forward, took Zhu Heyuan from the nurse, and kissed him lovingly on the forehead.
And Zhu Heyuan is still babbling, but he can't pronounce the word father.
Zhu Cihong was slightly regretful.
As a human father, of course, he hopes that his son will call him father earlier, and as a human king, he hopes that his heir will be talented and wise.
"Yuan'er is still young, Your Majesty is too anxious."
Tongtang comforted with kind words: "In a few months, Yuan'er will definitely call his father." ”
Zhu Cihong smiled with relief and said, "Haha, it's still the queen who understands me." ”
Zhu Cihong hugged Zhu Heyuan and teased him for a while, causing the little prince to giggle. It was a rare time for him.
As the emperor, he must show a cold and solemn side, so as to show the majesty of the human king.
Only in front of his family can he relax a little and enjoy the joy of family.
"Your Majesty, it's time to nurse Yuan'er."
Seeing that Zhu Cihong couldn't put it down while holding the little prince, and didn't want to put it down for a moment, the queen reminded on the side.
"Oh."
Zhu Cihong replied lightly, and reluctantly handed Zhu Heyuan to the nurse.
"Stand down."
Zhu Cihong commanded in a deep voice, and returned to the status of the wise and martial king.
"Your Majesty didn't come here just to see the concubines and Yuan'er, right?"
After the nurse left, the queen said softly.
"It's still the queen who understands me."
Zhu Cihong sighed and said: "The queen should know about King Gui's affairs, and I am worried about what to do with him now." ”
The bitterness in Zhu Cihong's heart couldn't be told to the foreign ministers, so he had to confide in the queen.
"Why is Your Majesty worried? Is it because King Gui is His Majesty's cousin? Or does Your Majesty care about the opinions of the people of the world on this matter? ”
Tong Tang asked in a harmonious voice.
"What does the queen think about this?"
Zhu Cihong did not answer, but asked rhetorically.
"Your Majesty, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. This is the ancestral motto of the emperor. ”
Tongtang smiled slightly.
"If you don't get in the way, I'll let you discuss this matter today."
Zhu Cihong waved his hand.
"I want to hear from you."
